Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 141: Forced Sorrow in Order to Write New Poems
Ran Xiang saw the lightning coming again, and she knelt down in fear, saying: "I am willing to help you get the other half of the rootless water, please spare my life!"
Gu Xiaoxing's heart moved, and the lightning shot out and split into several silk threads, which intertwined into a thunder ball and completely imprisoned Ran Xiang in the center. When he was about to speak, he found that Qiao Yanran beside him was looking at Ran Xiang coldly.
Gu Xiaoxing thought to himself that something was wrong, and immediately glared at me, returning to his usual ferocious appearance, saying, "You called me Young Master too? Tell me, explain the whole story clearly, and also hand over all the magic weapons such as storage, and don't force me to do it myself!"
Qiao Yanran on the side finally calmed down. In fact, she didn't know why, but she was not angry even if Ran Xiang called her a vixen. But when the other party called Gu Xiaoxing "Young Master", she would get furious.
Gu Xiaoxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Qiao Yanran usually seemed very obedient in front of Gu Xiaoxing, Gu Xiaoxing knew that this girl was a ruthless character who destroyed the entire Soul-Devouring Sect alone. She would only be easy to talk to when facing her own people.
Gu Xiaoxing thought to himself that he was smart and took timely measures to remedy the situation, otherwise, he was really afraid that Qiao Yanran would get angry and suddenly slap Ran Xiang to death.
Ran Xiang didn't think too much about it and obediently handed over her two storage magic weapons, a storage bag and a bracelet.
Then, under the coercion of Gu Xiaoxing, Ran Xiang quickly told everything.
It turned out that just about half a month ago, two days before Gu Xiaoxing returned to Menghuai Mountains, a disciple of Qiqiao Sect who had completed the foundation building stage happened to pass by Menghuai Mountains and discovered a big dog chasing Wugenshui. At that time, all the demon pigs in the Menghuai Mountains were still asleep and had not woken up.
But the chase between the big dog and Wugenshui changed the entire Menghuai Mountains, because the big dog chased Wugenshui and caught up with the sleeping Menghuai Demon King.
When the foundation-building cultivators of the Qiqiao Sect saw such a sacred object as the Rootless Water, they naturally did not want to let it go, so they took the risk and joined in, trying to capture the Rootless Water.
But the final result was that the big dog awakened the Demon King Meng Huai. The cultivator paused for a moment because of his fear of the Demon King. Just when the big dog had succeeded, the awakened Demon King snatched away half of the Rootless Water. From then on, the pig and the dog divided the Rootless Water equally.
At this time, the foundation-building cultivator also discovered that the demon king who had just awakened seemed to be in a confused and weak state, so he took the risk of kidnapping the big dog, fled all the way back to the Qiqiao Sect, and reported the matter to the sect master.
When the sect leader heard about the existence of such an innate sacred object as Rootless Water, he was immediately overjoyed and sent people directly to the Menghuai Mountains, intending to capture the Menghuai Demon King and gather together a complete set of Rootless Water to give to his grandson who had not yet established his foundation.
If one could take holy items like Rootless Water before building the spiritual foundation, one could be reborn and change one's fate. Even if one was only building the spiritual foundation, one could possibly cultivate to the Nascent Soul level!
And if one can spend some money to build the immortal foundation, then wouldn’t the Nascent Soul be a foregone conclusion?
You know, now in the entire small wasteland, only the Sword Controlling Sect has an ancestor who has a Nascent Soul stage!
Therefore, the leader of the Qiqiao Sect sent out three Jindan masters at once. It is obvious that he attaches great importance to this matter and is determined to succeed!
But at this moment, Ran Xiang never expected that things would develop to this point and that she would encounter these two disasters!
"Big dog?"
Gu Xiaoxing murmured something with a thoughtful look in his eyes. In fact, he had guessed before that the reason why the demon pigs in Menghuai Mountains were sleeping was probably because of their Fulai Village. Now that Fulai Village has disappeared, it makes sense that the sleeping demon pigs are gradually waking up.
But what about the big dog?
Whether it was the one-month search for immortals in the Menghuai Mountains eight years ago, or the eating throughout the entire mountain range now, Gu Xiaoxing has never encountered even one monster or animal other than the monster pig.
"Speaking of big dogs, didn't we have them in Fulai Village before..."
Gu Xiaoxing was suddenly stunned and he thought of Wangcai.
No way?
Logically speaking, the entire Fulai Village was created by the old village chief. Now that the village disappeared, Wangcai should have disappeared with it.
But Gu Xiaoxing was not sure and kept asking. When he heard the words "skinny as a stick" and "big skinny dog" from Ran Xiang, he became even more confused.
In Fulai Village, Wangcai is a big fat dog!
"Master Coffin, is there a way to search souls?"
In the end, Gu Xiaoxing became ruthless and decided not to give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope. In Gu Xiaoxing's heart, Wangcai was like an old friend whom he had never forgotten.
So, he asked the Coffin Master directly. Even if some sinister means were used for this, Gu Xiaoxing didn't care. He only cared about what he should care about.
Not much, but not one can be lost.
“How did you get by? You’re in the world of cultivation, but you don’t even have a soul-searching method…” Coffin Master’s contemptuous voice sounded, and then a soul-searching method slowly emerged on the coffin lid.
The coffin master continued, "You are all in the early stage of forming a pill. If you want to search her soul, it is best to... cripple her first. You know."
Listening to Master Coffin's nonchalant words, Gu Xiaoxing felt ashamed. It turned out that Master Coffin was the real ruthless man, a ruthless coffin!
However, Gu Xiaoxing was not a soft-hearted person. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he memorized the entire soul-searching method in his mind.
"Sir?"
Qiao Yanran also noticed that Gu Xiaoxing was acting strangely and couldn't help but ask.
Gu Xiaoxing smiled at her, then looked at Ran Xiang, his expression became cold, and said: "Yanran, if I become a big devil and am despised by the world, will you still follow me?"
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes became deep, as if he had experienced all the sorrows.
But Qiao Yanran couldn't help laughing, because in her eyes, Gu Xiaoxing was just "making up a new poem to express sorrow", so she said: "Sir, aren't you a big devil?"
"Forehead……!"
Gu Xiaoxing was choked by Qiao Yanran's words, feeling slightly embarrassed and as if he had been seen through. He couldn't help but glare at her, and the meaning of his eyes was self-evident.
Is there anyone who sabotages others like you?
Facing his questioning look, Qiao Yanran suppressed her smile and bowed, saying, "Then Yanran will go find the lair of the Meng Huai demon king first!"
As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Xiaoxing's reply, Qiao Yanran had already escaped from the scene where someone was trying to be cool and failed .
Gu Xiaoxing was speechless. He felt that if little girl Lu Ling'er was here, she would be able to cooperate with him very well. He also wondered whether Master Bai and the others had returned to the Soul-Devouring Sect.
Although he missed the little girl very much, Gu Xiaoxing couldn't go back to the sect even if he wanted to because Mo Xuyou was here. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He then glared at Ran Xiang in the thunder ball with a ferocious look.
Facing Gu Xiaoxing's eyes, Ran Xiang felt frightened. She felt that the person in front of her was a mad dog, and a mad dog with a changeable temperament and weird temper. She never knew when he would bite her. In fear, she only hoped that Senior Brother Qiao could bring the sect leader over as soon as possible!
Gu Xiaoxing had already sat down cross-legged and began to practice the soul-searching technique.
This is a magic technique that uses the soul. Although it is a bit complicated, it is not too difficult. Gu Xiaoxing has mastered it in just half an hour.
Then, he immediately discovered that this kind of soul-searching technique, just as Mr. Coffin said, would more or less cause some irreversible damage to the person undergoing it. In severe cases, it could even turn a person into an idiot.
This not only depends on a person's strength, but also on the self-protection consciousness of the soul and the degree of resistance. The stronger the self-protection consciousness and the more intense the resistance, the greater the damage will naturally be.
Gradually, Gu Xiaoxing looked at Ran Xiang.
Ran Xiang was startled by what she saw, and became more frightened. She had a very bad premonition and was about to beg for mercy again, but before she could utter a word, her whole body was suddenly shocked and she fell into a chaos where she lost all six senses.
Gu Xiaoxing did not choose to cripple the opponent, but chose to use this magical power that he had not used for a long time.
The magical power of sealing the dust!
The next moment, Gu Xiaoxing flashed and appeared in front of Ran Xiang. He placed a palm on her head and immediately began to search her soul. The effect was unexpectedly good. She did not encounter any obstacles at all and succeeded directly . She began to look through the pictures in her memory, looking for the answers she wanted.
As they were both in the early stage of Jindan, Gu Xiaoxing's Dust-Sealing Ability could only last for a moment. But at this moment, even after the time limit of the Dust-Sealing Ability had passed, Ran Xiang was still in a daze, allowing Gu Xiaoxing to search her memory.
But Gu Xiaoxing could feel a resistance gradually emerging and growing stronger. This was the self-resisting will of Ran Xiang's soul.
However, Gu Xiaoxing quickly found the answer he wanted. When he moved his hand away from Ran Xiang's head, his eyes had turned gloomy.
Because, it really brings wealth!
Although there have been big changes, Gu Xiaoxing will not make a mistake, it is Wangcai!
The only good news is that the leader of the Qiqiao Sect was quite generous and did not immediately refine the Wangcai for his grandson to absorb. Instead, he wanted to wait until he had gathered all the rootless water before refining them together.
This also made Gu Xiaoxing feel relieved. At least, Wangcai would not be in danger for the time being.
At this time, Ran Xiang also came back to her senses from her daze, and immediately looked at Gu Xiaoxing in front of her with great fear, as if she was looking at a demon. She retreated behind her little by little, and when she had nowhere to retreat, she was already crying with fear, and once again prayed that the sect master would come quickly.
If the Qiqiao Sect's Qi Condensation Foundation Establishment disciples saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked. What kind of big devil could scare the arrogant Jindan elder into tears in their eyes?
Even Gu Xiaoxing himself felt a sense of accomplishment. He once imagined a scene where he could scare many Jindan cultivators into trembling with fear with just a few words. Now it seems that everything is possible!
Feeling proud, Gu Xiaoxing glanced at Ran Xiang indifferently, waved his sleeves, and withdrew from the thunder ball. Then he looked into the distance, his eyes changed, and said: "I know you are waiting for reinforcements. In fact, I am waiting for them too!"
Gu Xiaoxing hoped that when the people from Qiqiao Sect came, they could bring Wangcai with them, so that he wouldn't have to make an extra trip.
Ran Xiang was stunned when she heard this, and then looked at Gu Xiaoxing with even greater fear, but she no longer dared to speak easily. At this moment, she was really scared and felt deeply regretful for her original desire for revenge.
But regret is often the most powerless thing...
