Gu Xiaoxing immediately held a hatchet in both hands and got into a stance with a fierce look on his face. He looked around nervously, but found no one.
"Who! Who is talking!"
"Raise your head."
The ethereal voice came again, and Gu Xiaoxing suddenly raised his head, only to see a man standing in the air with his hands behind his back. His white clothes were fluttering, and he had an immortal air.
It seems to confirm the saying that there is a god three feet above the head.
"God...god!"
With a clang, the hatchet fell from his hand. Gu Xiaoxing was so excited that it was indescribable and she immediately knelt down and worshiped.
"Please God save me!"
"I, Master Bai of the Soul-Eating Sect." Master Bai was attracted by Dapeng. He didn't want to meet such a little guy, so he was very interested. "Can you tell me how to save you?"
Gu Xiaoxing raised his head and saw the immortal slowly landing on the ground. He became more and more excited. With such a flying spell, he must be an immortal!
So with a pious look on his face, he quickly kowtowed and knelt down again.
"The little one's name is Gu Xiaoxing. A bug burrowed into his forehead half a year ago. The bug was so weird and tight that it couldn't be detached. It also sucked flesh and blood. He was about to be sucked dry by the bug. The little one was about to be sucked dry. I’m afraid of death! Since I searched for the immortal in Fulai Village, I have gone through a lot of hardships and finally met the immortal. I beg the immortal to save me and take out this insect!"
"More than half a year?" Bai Zhenren's eyes narrowed slightly, "The insect between your eyebrows is called the soul-eating insect. It does not take three months to enter the body and can suck all the flesh and blood from the human body. How did you persist for more than half a year without dying?"
Gu Xiaoxing raised his head again, with a hint of arrogance appearing inexplicably between his eyebrows, but he suddenly thought that the other person was a god, so he humbly said: "The young one was once the most beautiful man in Fulai Village. In the past... Hehe! Little Fatty , Little Fatty!”
Master Bai glanced at Gu Xiaoxing. He naturally knew that Fulai Village was an isolated mountain village located in the Menghuai Mountains. Its folk customs were weird and fatness was regarded as beauty.
"Once the soul-eating worm enters the body, it lives with the host and cannot be taken out. If you take it out forcibly, you and the soul-eating worm will only die together."
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned, and kowtowed again quickly, almost crying, and said anxiously: "Please find a way to save me, you are a god with great powers, you must have a way to save me! I don't want to die! I still have Dream, I have not yet become the most beautiful man in Fulai Village, I have not yet married a beautiful lady, and I still..."
"Noisy!"
Master Bai waved his hand impatiently, "Misfortune depends on blessings. It is not a bad thing if the soul-eating insects enter the body. It is also qualified to practice. If you are willing, I will introduce you to the soul-eating sect and become my soul-eating sect." disciple."
Gu Xiaoxing raised his head and asked weakly: "If you practice, you can survive. Can you gain weight?"
A simple question, even if Master Bai was asked about his conduct, he was stunned for a moment, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
"You can live!"
Then, he waved his hand. In an instant, Gu Xiaoxing felt like he was flying and his soul was chasing him. His vision was blurred, and a shrill scream rang out in the sky.
"My hatchet...!"
It wasn't until he gradually stabilized and adapted after a long time that Gu Xiaoxing realized that he was already high in the sky, standing behind Bai Zhenren and moving rapidly.
"It's too fast! Immortal, it's too fast!" Gu Xiaoxing wailed all the way. He wanted to reach out and grab Bai Zhenren's gown but couldn't reach it. He was terrified in his heart, fearing that he would fall and be shattered to pieces.
Just over an hour passed. Gu Xiaoxing could not imagine how far he had traveled. Gradually, a peak appeared. That peak was higher and bigger than any other mountain he had ever seen. It was still faintly visible on the top of the mountain. With a palace.
Next to the peak, there was a short peak, and the surrounding scenery passed by quickly. Not long after, Gu Xiaoxing and his wife appeared under the short peak.
"Follow me." Master Bai said calmly.
Gu Xiaoxing followed closely behind Master Bai with trembling legs, but kept secretly swearing in her heart that after entering the sect, she would never step out of the sect!
The outside world is so scary!
Along the way, he saw all kinds of strange and terrifying monsters.
There is a giant ape as big as a mountain; there is a deformed creature with two different heads but the same size as a mountain; and there is an old turtle lying in the ice lake, which is even more ridiculously big.
What's more, he encountered a giant eagle with thunder and lightning flashing all over his body and suddenly attacked him. The ferocious aura made Gu Xiaoxing's scalp numb, and then he was killed by Bai Zhenren's sword.
But what he found most terrifying was the roc that covered the sky and the sun.
As for the wild boars we had seen in the past month, even the largest ones were no longer ranked! It was learned from Bai Zhenren’s mouth that those wild boars were named Menghuai and were monster beasts.
Monsters can also practice and possess spiritual wisdom, but most of them are cruel in nature. There are countless monsters in this small wasteland.
Gu Xiaoxing kept Bai Zhenren's words in mind and vowed again.
Absolutely, you can’t go out!
Not far away, a stone tablet appeared in front of them, with three words engraved on it - Shiling Peak.
There was a young man next to the stone tablet, dressed in gray clothes and with a plain appearance. He was sitting there cross-legged and drowsy. He seemed to hear footsteps. He frowned and opened his eyes to see that it was Zhenren Bai. He perked up and quickly stepped forward to salute respectfully.
"I've seen a real person!"
Master Bai nodded lightly and said: "Assign this person, um... seeing that he didn't let go of the dropped hatchet before, let's arrange a job for him to chop wood."
After saying that, without waiting for the young man to answer, Bai Zhenren turned into a stream of light and left.
"Yes, congratulations!"
The young man bowed in the direction where Bai Zhenren left, and then looked at Gu Xiaoxing.
Gu Xiaoxing was very excited at this moment, because he saw that there were also parasitic soul-eating insects on the young man's forehead, but the young man did not feel thin and weak at all, but instead exuded a strange sense of extraordinary strength. This shows that what Master Qingming said is true. You can survive through spiritual practice, and you can still be saved!
"I am Cui Yan, the deacon of Shiling Peak. Just call me Senior Brother Cui." The young man nodded and looked at Gu Xiaoxing with a little thought. After being a deacon for so many years, this was the first time for him to see the sect's great elder personally lead the way. When a person enters Shiling Peak, he should take care of him no matter what, but the errand arranged by Master Bai makes him confused.
"Little Gu Xiaoxing, I have met Senior Brother Cui!"
Gu Xiaoxing had a sincere look on his face. He was already fair and handsome, and coupled with his frail appearance at the moment, coupled with his innocent eyes, he looked like a young man who had not experienced much in the world but had suffered a lot. It’s easy to let down one’s defenses and empathize from the bottom of one’s heart.
Cui Yan's eyes softened a bit as expected, and he said: "It turns out that it's Junior Brother Gu. The feeling of being parasitized by the Soul-eating Insect is not pleasant. I must have suffered a lot these days! I remember that when I was first parasitized by the Soul-eating Insect, I lost weight in a month. I lost more than twenty kilograms. Although it is not as serious as yours, I am still worried all day long and have suffered a lot. Fortunately, the sect’s guide came to bring me into the sect, otherwise I might have been a pile of bones!"
"What Senior Brother Cui said is true! Since I was parasitized by the Soul-eating Insect, even if I eat and drink like crazy, I still can't change the outcome of losing weight day by day. Three hundred kilograms! I lost a full three hundred kilograms! My heart aches like a knot!"
Three hundred pounds?
Cui Yan didn't react for a moment. Looking at the now skinny Gu Xiaoxing, he became curious about what would happen if he piled three hundred kilograms of meat on top.
Gu Xiaoxing was very excited. Maybe he had heard an experience so similar to his own, and his emotions resonated. He rolled his eyes, and there was an understood grievance in his eyes, and then said: "Fortunately! I just saw it." When I was about to be sucked dry by the Soul-Eating Insects, luckily Uncle Bai appeared! Then he took me back to the Soul-Eating Sect!"
"Uncle Bai? Zhenren Bai?" Cui Yan asked in surprise.
However, Gu Xiaoxing suddenly looked like he had said something wrong. He hesitated for a moment, and when he saw no one around, he leaned closer and whispered: "My father and Uncle Bai were old friends. They were as close as brothers, and they were like brothers. Unfortunately, the small wasteland is dangerous. Only Uncle Bai with such vast supernatural powers can come and go freely. He would visit my father once every few years. Although my father passed away the year before last, fortunately Uncle Bai missed his old friend and found me who was parasitized by the soul-eating insect. Introducing me into the sect, for me, Uncle Bai is my reborn parent! But Senior Brother Cui, you just need to know these things, Uncle Bai has warned you not to reveal anything about this."
If Gu Xiaoxing admitted it, Cui Yan didn't believe it. Seeing how cautious he was, even if he had doubts, he still believed it. Although he had never heard of any old friends of Master Bai, Elder Bai was eating souls. Zong is lower than ten thousand people, and his status is too high. Many things about him are rumors, and little is known about their authenticity. Moreover, Gu Xiaoxing was indeed brought by Master Bai. In this case, Master Bai should also pay attention to this place. .
Cui Yan didn't believe that anyone dared to lie under Zhenren Bai's nose.
However, Gu Xiaoxing felt extremely guilty at this moment. He had grown up eating a lot of food, so he naturally knew how to watch people's actions and take advantage of others. How could he do it if he didn't find a backer when he first came to the Soul Devouring Sect? Even though he had just entered the sect, he could tell that Master Bai was obviously a great figure in the sect.
"You have been flying away for so long, so you probably can't hear me anymore! Since you are such a big shot, you won't care about such a trivial matter with me, right?" Gu Xiaoxing was not sure.
On the main peak of the Soul-Eating Sect, Master Bai's mouth twitched, and he had the urge to turn around and go back to send Gu Xiaoxing back to the mountain. However, if you dislike it, you still dislike it. Bai Zhenren's status is there and he won't really explain anything. It's just a childish trick.
In the world of cultivation, those who don't have any tricks are destined to live a short life.
