Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 112: No Past Life
"I'll wait for you...!"
This old voice was like thunder, sweeping across the entire fifth heaven.
Not until the sound completely dissipated did Gu Xiaoxing feel that the great terror had finally gone away. While still feeling frightened, he looked at the hand that stretched out from the coffin. After slapping out the talisman, the hand did not retract immediately.
"This hand... seems to belong to a woman, damn it...! The fingers are so slender, it must be an ugly monster!" When Gu Xiaoxing thought about the last time he was put into the coffin and was treated like a furnace by this ugly monster and played with it in various ways, he felt a chill in his heart.
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxing felt a chill in his heart and felt a little scared because he saw the white hand moving!
He just bent his fingers and lightly pointed, and the soul of Cang Jiuding, which was still being burned, gradually condensed in the flames and finally turned into a black bead. As the slender fingers moved lightly, the black bead of the soul shot out like lightning.
Before Gu Xiaoxing could react at all, he felt a pain in his brow and discovered that the bead had penetrated into his soul. He was immediately terrified and screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
"Shut up!" Guan Gua spoke in disdain, as if he was extremely unhappy with Gu Xiaoxing's appearance, "Why don't you kneel down and thank the master for his kindness!"
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned when he heard the sound while screaming, and then he realized that there was no pain as he had imagined. The black bead sank into his body, and instead dissipated into strange energy that nourished his soul. His severed arms quickly regenerated, and his soul quickly became complete, without a trace of injury.
Even until the black soul bead completely dissipated, Gu Xiaoxing's soul continued to grow stronger under nourishment. In a short period of time, it became more than twice as strong as before!
When he came to his senses, Gu Xiaoxing thanked him hurriedly. He couldn't kneel down, but just bowed respectfully to express his gratitude.
"Don't you know what it means to kneel down and thank? Or do you want me to break your legs?" said the coffin coldly.
Plop!
Gu Xiaoxing did not hesitate. His soul remained in the Qingyan Palace. He knelt on the ground, kowtowed loudly, and said loudly: "Thank you for saving me, Immortal. Thank you for your grace!"
However, the white hand ignored him, slowly put it back into the coffin, and closed the coffin lid again.
"What are you so proud of!?"
Gu Xiaoxing secretly complained in his heart but did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on the surface. He secretly raised his head which was knocked on the ground and saw only a pitch-black coffin.
This coffin has no face, but for some reason, Gu Xiaoxing feels that it is looking at him at this moment, and its face looks very bad!
"Your behavior today makes me, the coffin, very unhappy!" The coffin spoke, and then with a "whoosh", it flew out of the dantian and flew out of Gu Xiaoxing's body.
What does the broken coffin want to do?
Gu Xiaoxing was startled and had a bad premonition. He quickly returned his soul to its place and dispersed his consciousness . When he opened his eyes while sitting cross-legged in the void, before he could say anything, a coffin had already fallen from the sky.
Gu Xiaoxing only had time to scream before he was smashed straight to the ground. The impact did not cause much, and the ground did not even crack. However, this blow was more painful than the one from the Thunder Giant.
"Master Coffin, spare my life...!"
Seeing that the coffin was about to fall again, Gu Xiaoxing shouted hurriedly, but it was useless because he had no idea how long Mr. Coffin had been waiting for this moment!
"I'll teach you how to plot against Master Guan..."
"Surround yourself with beauties......!"
"You will be able to sing and dance ......!"
"I'll make you scream your coffin apart...!"
Again and again, Gu Xiaoxing's shrill screams spread throughout the entire fairy mountain. He was in so much pain that he wished he was dying!
But to Coffin Master, the screams sounded like the most beautiful music in the world. It was as if fortune had changed. When he thought of how Gu Xiaoxing had used his spiritual sense to conjure up a fat girl to dance around him, he became even more ruthless.
I don’t know how long it took, but after Coffin Master had vented all the anger he had ever suffered, he finally came to Gu Xiaoxing’s side.
“Huh…! I finally feel comfortable!”
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing felt as if all the bones in his body were broken. He collapsed there limply, unable to move even a finger. He felt that this beating was not much worse than being eaten by the heart-eating blood insect. His whole mind was a little confused. Just when he thought he had finally made it through the gates of hell, a huge hand in black mist lifted him up.
"Hmm...! The owner will definitely dislike your dirty appearance, so I'll wash it for you...!"
In a daze, Gu Xiaoxing only heard the sound of the coffin creaking, and then he felt as if he was thrown into the water and swam around for a few circles. He choked on the water several times, and finally, the coffin lid was opened, and he was thrown directly into the coffin, falling into endless darkness.
This whole process is not just miserable, it is simply horrific!
When Gu Xiaoxing gradually woke up from his exhausted look, and when pictures came to his mind, he was suddenly startled, sat up straight, and touched himself all over. He was relieved when he found that not only was there nothing unusual, but even the injuries he had suffered before were healed.
But this was not enough to calm his anger, and he glared at the coffin not far ahead.
"Um?"
The coffin made a gentle sound, but the tone was full of profound meaning.
Gu Xiaoxing was startled, as if he had recalled some extremely painful experience, and he began to tremble for no reason.
"Come here and stand still." Coffin said lightly.
Gu Xiaoxing did not hesitate, he flew to the front of the coffin and was as obedient as a good baby.
“Yeah, not bad!”
Coffin Master was very satisfied. Although he knew that the brat must have cursed him a thousand eight hundred times in his heart by now, it was the fact that the other party clearly hated him but couldn't do anything to him that made him feel very happy!
Gu Xiaoxing endured and endured, and finally he endured it, and even tried his best to force a smile, and said: "Master Coffin...Master Coffin, didn't you want to avoid your enemies? Why did you come out? And..."
"And with my strength equivalent to that of the Spirit Transformation Stage, why can I descend to Lei Yuntian and come out to beat you?" The voice of the coffin was like a smile.
Gu Xiaoxing smiled awkwardly and did not deny it.
"Because my master has already reached an agreement with the person above."
"The one up there?" Gu Xiaoxing thought of the great terror that had happened before.
"That is, Cang Jiuding's master, the previous Lord of Cang Tian Palace." said the coffin.
Gu Xiaoxing was shocked, this is a big shot!
Now, he is no longer the fledgling cultivator. If he returns to the Soul-Devouring Sect, the disciples will have to respect him as an elder, so he gradually begins to understand some things.
He knew that above the Thousand Wastelands was the Nine Heavens Realm. As for which sects and forces were in the Nine Heavens Realm, Gu Xiaoxing might not be able to tell, but if you asked who was the biggest in the Nine Heavens Realm, then he would know!
It must be the Jiutian Palace!
And the Honorable Lord is, without a doubt, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, a great man standing at the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens!
But, shouldn’t the Lord of Cang Tian Palace be in the Cang Tian Domain?
Why did you come to Xuanyu Baihuang?
Also, what happened to the previous one?
Many doubts arose in Gu Xiaoxing's mind.
Although Guan Gu saw Gu Xiaoxing's doubts, he was not willing to explain them. He just said, "Boy, I have a piece of news that is neither good nor bad, a piece of bad news, and a piece of... even worse news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Gu Xiaoxing didn't say which one he wanted to hear first, but blinked and asked, "What's the good news?"
"No good news." Coffin said as a matter of course.
Gu Xiaoxing wanted to beat up the broken coffin, but he still said in a friendly tone: "Then tell me the worst news first."
He felt that it was better to suffer first and then enjoy the sweetness. Although this "sweetness" was just news that was neither good nor bad and might not be very sweet, it was better than being disgusted by the bad news in the end.
"Then let's talk about the news that's neither good nor bad first."
Gu Xiaoxing was about to go up and smash the broken coffin, but he listened quietly.
"Forget it, let me tell you the bad news first. The reason why you have been unable to practice the Sutra of Rebirth in the Previous Life... has been found!" The voice of the coffin was not as frivolous as before, but had an unspeakable meaning.
Gu Xiaoxing's heart moved. He also heard a bit of heaviness in Guan Gu's tone, so he asked, "What's the reason ?"
"Because you... don't have a previous life!"
No past life?
Gu Xiaoxing was silent for a while before he said, "What do you mean?"
“That’s what it means.”
Gu Xiaoxing was silent , and after a while, he continued to ask: "Is this bad news?"
"Of course it counts. All living beings, whether they are human or animal, grass or tree, or mountain demon, thunder demon, or even a magical treasure, have a past, but you don't. Don't you understand the seriousness of this?" Coffin's voice became heavier.
"What...what's the seriousness?" Gu Xiaoxing swallowed his saliva. He was already frightened, but he didn't understand how serious it was.
"Stupid!"
Coffin shouted directly and sternly, which startled Gu Xiaoxing and made him even more frightened.
"Uncle Guan, please tell me quickly! How serious is it?" Gu Xiaoxing said anxiously, already crying out of fear.
"It is said that people who don't have a past life will definitely not have an afterlife. In other words, you will die miserably in this life, and your body will die and your soul will be destroyed!"
"That's it?" Gu Xiaoxing was stunned and suddenly said.
"Huh? Don't you think this is not serious?" Coffin was surprised.
Gu Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away the tears on her face. She thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just this!
He had figured out the issue of afterlife. Even if there was an afterlife, he would not be himself anymore. Why bother about how he died? It was death anyway, so it didn't make much difference whether there was an afterlife or not!
He only cared about when the dead end would come. At worst, he would fight hard to get through it. He had made up his mind to learn the art of divination.
"You should continue to tell us your news." Gu Xiaoxing said.
“Watch your attitude.”
Gu Xiaoxing quickly stood at attention.
The coffin then continued, "Speaking of this neither-good-nor-bad news, regarding the Sutra of Rebirth in the Previous Life, you can still... come out!"
Guan Gua was speaking halfway when he suddenly shouted.
Gu Xiaoxing was so smart that he reacted instantly and looked into the distance.
I saw a little head poking out from behind the rock, and then gave an embarrassed smile.
"Hehe...little brother!"
