A lifetime is like a dream, and the world is at your fingertips. However, there is also a road to eternal life in this world. Although it is endless and elusive and difficult to reach, there are countless sentient beings looking for it!
Fu Lai Village.
"With the blessing of the village chief, the most beautiful man in the village will be invited to the stage, and he will be awarded... the leading male!"
Fulai Village was bustling with activity, like a festival. The villagers were all gathered around a wooden platform that was not too high, with beaming faces and excited expressions. The strange thing is that each of these villagers seems to be unusually strong, regardless of whether they are male or female, old or young.
If you look at it from a high place, it's a bit funny. The wooden platform looks like it's surrounded by meat balls.
Fulai Village, fat is beautiful!
As the voice fell, an even more exaggerated figure appeared, like a mountain of flesh. The moment his footsteps fell, the entire wooden platform seemed to feel oppressive and vibrated involuntarily.
There was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in the audience who looked out of place with his surroundings. Although he was fair and clean, he was not fat! The body shape seems normal, but in Fulai Village, this is abnormal!
What's even more abnormal is that there seems to be a black bead embedded in the boy's forehead between his eyebrows. If you look carefully, you will find that it is actually a bug, a beetle!
The young man's name was Gu Xiaoxing. He was carrying his luggage and looking at the wooden platform like everyone else. Compared to others, the envy in his eyes was stronger.
Although Gu Xiaoxing is an orphan, he grew up in Fulai Village, where he ate food from hundreds of families and was deeply favored by the villagers. He felt that he could not live up to the cultivation of the villagers over the years, so his dream since he was a child was to become the No. 1 villager in the village. If a handsome man ascends this wooden platform to become the alpha male, and then marries a beautiful lady to spend his life together, there will be no regrets.
But all of this was shattered because of the little beetle on his forehead.
Gu Xiaoxing didn't know where this unknown little beetle came from. It somehow got into his forehead, as if it had grown there and become one with him. It couldn't be buckled off no matter how hard it was, and it was even extremely hard. The shell was even a knife. No trace can be found. What’s even weirder is that the bug can actually suck flesh and blood!
In just half a year, he, who was once ranked among the most beautiful men in Fulai Village, has turned into a skinny person that he dislikes very much. It is even possible that his whole body will be sucked dry within a short time. , by then it will no longer be a dream, even your life will be gone!
With a heavy sigh, Gu Xiaoxing turned around and came to the only ancestral hall in the village and walked in.
The decoration in the ancestral hall is simple, nothing fancy, a futon, a wooden table, and an incense burner on the table. An incense burns silently in the burner. The incense is not small, more than three feet long, two fingers thick, with green smoke. It curled up, as if it had been burning for a long time.
Gu Xiaoxing knelt on the futon and kowtowed while saying, "Bless me, my ancestors. Although I, Gu Xiaoxing, am an orphan, I was born in Fulai Village. If I don't want to be a ghost in Fulai Village, you must protect me." , bless Xiaoxing to find the immortal!"
After kowtowing for many times, Gu Xiaoxing finally stood up and prepared to leave after he felt that his sincerity must have moved his ancestors.
But just after walking out of the ancestral hall, a low roar came. Gu Xiaoxing paused, turned his head stiffly, looked at a fat dog in front of him with his teeth bared, and immediately said with a stiff smile: "Prosperous wealth! Calm down! Calm down!"
While talking, he suddenly took out a hatchet from his arms.
Wangcai was hunched over, ready to go. His strong figure was the most beautiful dog in the village. When he saw Gu Xiaoxing actually took out a hatchet and pointed it at him, he became even more angry! He pounced directly.
Gu Xiaoxing swung the hatchet in his hand quickly, but when he looked at Wang Cai's body, he felt fear and ran away.
"Don't come over here, I have a hatchet, be careful I'll chop you to death!"
But Wangcai ignored him and chased him all the way out of the village.
Fortunately, because Wangcai was really too fat, he was not very fast, so he was gradually thrown out of the distance. Gu Xiaoxing himself didn’t know how long he ran, but finally he could no longer hear the sound of dogs barking, and when he turned around, Wangcai’s voice was no longer there. After the figure, he sat down on the ground tiredly.
"Fortunately...even though I have become thinner and uglier, I can also run faster!"
Gu Xiaoxing was panting, with an angry look on his face, "I'm so vindictive. I accidentally stepped on a dog's tail back then. How long ago has this happened? If it had been half a year ago, I would have slapped him to death." , why run away?"
He put the hatchet into his arms again. After a while, Gu Xiaoxing recovered. He stood up and looked at Fulai Village in the distance. He shouted loudly: "I will definitely find the immortal and take out the bugs. I will come back. I just He is the future male leader of Fulai Village!"
After saying that, for fear that Wangcai would come after him again, he quickly turned around and left, his figure lonely and thin, walking further and further away...
Fulai Village is located in a basin, surrounded by mountains, isolated from the world. When he was in the village, Gu Xiaoxing wanted to know what was behind the mountain. Now he knew that behind the mountain was an even bigger mountain!
He was not rushing blindly. Many years ago, he accidentally saw a stream of light flying over Fulai Village. He could even vaguely see it was a human figure. Only then did Gu Xiaoxing know that there really are immortals in this world.
The direction he was walking was the direction that the immortal was flying away!
After climbing one mountain after another, it was already a month later. At this time, Gu Xiaoxing was even thinner. He was hiding behind a big tree, holding the hatchet tightly in his hand, and his whole body was trembling. .
"How did such a big pig grow? How could the world outside the village be so scary! There are wild boars everywhere. Could it be that Fulai Village is in a wild boar nest?"
On a hill in the distance, I saw a huge wild boar crawling there, snoring and sleeping. The pig's head alone was three feet high, and even a small star could not compare with the fangs in its mouth.
However, this was already considered small. Along the way, Gu Xiaoxing encountered no fewer than dozens of giant beasts. Without exception, they were all wild boars. The smallest ones were two feet tall. Each one made him tremble. This made him think Compared to these wild boars, Wangcai is simply a little milk dog!
Fortunately, these wild boars are extremely lethargic and will not wake up easily.
In addition, he also encountered a man-eating tree that imitated body movements to attract people, but was actually trying to catch food. Fortunately, the creatures here were giant wild boars. The tree seemed to be unable to catch food and was malnourished, so it was eaten by Gu Xiaoxing and Liang Chai. He split the branch with the knife and ran away; he had also encountered a kind of water that could flow on its own but was very timid. At that time, Gu Xiaoxing and the water flow were each frightened and ran away from each other.
It’s as if everyone has become a spirit! He even encountered a small mountain. The mountain was constantly rising and falling, as if it was breathing or chewing. Then a wind with a fishy smell spurted out from the mountain like a hiccup, scaring Gu Xiaoxing out of his wits and running away quickly. .
Along the way, Gu Xiaoxing encountered all kinds of bizarre things. He felt that it was a miracle that he could get here, but he had to go on. He had been afraid of death since he was a child. Because he was too afraid of death, he had to find the gods. , which also inspired the ruthlessness in his bones. Sometimes if you want to survive, you have to be ruthless!
Gritting his teeth, he sneaked around the wild boar, not daring to make the slightest sound, and continued forward.
Another three days have passed, and Gu Xiaoxing has lost weight visibly to the naked eye, almost turning into skin and bones. But the strange thing is that he has never seen any wild boar in the past three days!
"Could it be that I've walked out of the pig's nest?"
Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoxing was a little excited. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the place where the gods were.
"Those pigs must be raised by gods. After all, we in Fulai Village also raise pigs, so gods also want to eat meat! It must be much more delicious than the pigs in our Fulai Village!"
Gu Xiaoxing suddenly thought that he had not eaten meat for a long time, and he couldn't help but get greedy. The dry food he carried had long been exhausted. He ate a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms that he had eaten in the village along the way. He was so vegetarian that he felt like vomiting!
When Gu Xiaoxing climbed a peak again and wanted to see the scene behind the mountain, the whole mountain suddenly shook. When he turned back, he was completely frightened.
I saw a giant python circling over. I don't know how long it was. In an instant, it wrapped around the entire mountain peak, leaving only the top of the mountain. The giant python raised its head, spat out words, and stared at it with cold eyes. Watching a lonely little star.
Gu Xiaoxing was so frightened that he fell to the ground, but he moved quickly and immediately took out the hatchet, closed his eyes and waved it desperately.
"Brother Snake, don't eat me! Don't eat me! I'm too thin to fit between your teeth..."
"Humanity?"
Um?
Can talk?
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned for a moment, then carefully opened his eyes, and immediately saw two cold vertical pupils that were larger than others. He was even more frightened in his heart, and his whole body seemed to be frozen, unable to move.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten a human. I remember it was quite beautiful... Hmm? Soul-eating insects?"
The giant python's eyes visibly condensed, and he uttered human words and said angrily: "Boy, do you dare to harm me?"
Gu Xiaoxing could not move or speak. He was completely confused, but he could hear the words clearly.
It turns out that the bug that caused you to become like this is called a soul-eating bug? But then I thought, is this still important? He's going to die soon! He didn't even think about why the big snake was harming him, only the endless fear in his heart.
"You humans are really vicious. You know you are going to die, but you want to take someone as your back! Fortunately, this snake is smart!"
The giant python looked at Gu Xiaoxing coldly, as if he had really seen through his heart, "Humph, but do you think there is nothing the snake can do if there are soul-eating insects? I can completely wait for the soul-eating insects to suck you dry, and wait until you They're all dead, wouldn't it be enough to eat your corpse then? Hahaha..."
The giant python looked up to the sky and laughed, as if impressed by its own wisdom. It smiled, suddenly opened its eyes wide, and suddenly turned the snake's head away.
The intimidating force also dissipated. Gu Xiaoxing regained his strength and stared blankly at the giant python going away, somewhat unbelievable.
Just leave like that?
However, at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, Gu Xiaoxing raised his head subconsciously, his pupils suddenly shrank violently, and his whole body was extremely frightened.
What did he see? He saw a big roc rushing towards him at an indescribable speed. It covered the sky and the sun in an instant. A terrifying hurricane suddenly came. The lonely little star was blown directly off the ground. He was still in the air. Then he saw the great roc appearing in the distant sky between its spread wings, and in its claws, it was the giant python from before, which was now like a small insect.
The hurricane came and went quickly. Gu Xiaoxing hit a boulder and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Although there is no trace of Dapeng at this moment, the fear in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes has not dissipated.
"It's too scary! The outside world is too scary! I want to go back to the village, I want to go back to the village!"
I thought the wild boar's nest was scary enough, but I didn't expect the outside world to be even scarier.
"Wangcai, I missed you. Now I know that you are so docile!"
Picking up the hatchet, Gu Xiaoxing looked around cautiously, fearing that some terrifying creature would appear again. He was really afraid. Whether it was the giant python or the roc before, even a breath could kill him.
Holding back his injured body, Gu Xiaoxing stood up with difficulty. This was the first time in his life that he had been injured so seriously. He grinned in pain. But suddenly, he felt a warmth on his forehead, as if there was a warm current gushing out from the center of his eyebrows. After passing through various parts of the body, it actually... didn't hurt anymore!
He was suddenly startled and reached out to touch his forehead. The little bug was still growing between his eyebrows.
For the first time, Gu Xiaoxing knew that it actually had the effect of healing. However, the next moment, he felt his heart pounding. A strange suction force suddenly came from the center of his eyebrows. What he was sucking was Gu Xiaoxing's life force. He could see it with the naked eye... ...lost weight again.
It seems that no matter how much energy is used to heal the body, it must be forcibly sucked back from the body.
"This...this is simply a vampire!"
Gu Xiaoxing was furious.
Seeing that his body was almost only a skeleton, the fear in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes was beyond anything before. He felt hard in his heart and gritted his teeth to make what he thought was an unusually firm voice.
"No! I can't go back, I...I want to find a god!"
"Are you looking for a god?"
The ethereal sound came, as if it were in the sky and in my ears.
