Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 271 My Way!
At this moment, in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes, Zhou Shoutai changed from a middle-aged man to a dying old man in a short period of time, and his life had come to an end.
Looking at him, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes no longer had the previous anger or resentment. Instead, his heart was calm, an inexplicable calm.
But this look made Zhou Shoutai difficult to calm down, because in his opinion, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes were a kind of compassion, and he, Zhou Shoutai, did not need this kind of compassion!
Although Zhou Shoutai's life span had been exhausted and he had no strength left in his body, he still struggled to squeeze out a voice from between his teeth: "Although I have lost... but my way... remains the same. Unfortunately, luck... is with you, and the heavens... do not care about me!"
Zhou Shoutai looked as if he was complaining about the unfairness of fate before his death. His growl was so hysterical, but Gu Xiaoxing remained calm.
In fact, Gu Xiaoxing did not have the slightest compassion in his heart. This was Zhou Shoutai's way. He would not comment on it. He just understood that Zhou Shoutai's way was a way that only he was supreme. Except for him, everything else could be a tool and could be abandoned.
Perhaps, this is the true pursuit of the Tao, without any ties, without distinction between good and evil, with only a heart seeking the Tao, living for it and dying for it.
Perhaps, they can no longer be called human beings, but should be classified as another race. Gu Xiaoxing would like to call this race... seekers!
"Would you like to be alone on the road?" Gu Xiaoxing asked almost subconsciously.
Zhou Shoutai's eyes had originally been unfocused, but when he heard Gu Xiaoxing's words, his pupils suddenly trembled, and a series of pictures emerged in them, starting from that small mountain village and that storyteller. It was as if at this moment, Zhou Shoutai had seen through his entire life.
Are you lonely?
Zhou Shoutai couldn't help but ask himself, and finally seemed to have got the answer. A very faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Finally... he died!
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing had a clear mind and knew Zhou Shoutai 's answer from his expression.
Perhaps, you will feel lonely at the beginning, but when you walk deep into this path, all you can see is this path, and you can't even see yourself, how can you feel lonely? !
When a person begins to abandon the self-image, the image of others, and the image of all living beings, can he still be called a human being?
This person is already a thorough seeker of truth, born only to attain the truth!
Just like Zhou Shoutai at this moment, he has no regrets even though he died!
But Gu Xiaoxing doesn't want this path, he has something he can't give up, he wants to be a human being!
A person who has selfish desires, enjoys pleasure, and is obsessed with something!
Gu Xiaoxing was determined in his heart, and at this moment he finally defined his own path.
My path is to become a more worry-free and happier person!
"Yes, my name is Gu Xiaoxing. If I don't want to be Gu Xing but just want to be a human, you can also call me Gu Xiao... ahem! Lord Gu!"
Gu Xiaoxing waved his hand and spoke proudly, then raised his hand and pinched it, and Zhou Shoutai's body turned into ashes and dissipated between heaven and earth, leaving only three things, two of which were top-grade storage magic weapons.
There was another item that seemed a little unique, it was a transparent crystal, which seemed to contain an extremely strange energy, which made Gu Xiaoxing have the urge to swallow it into his body, but in the end he held back and waited until he figured it out.
Putting everything away, Gu Xiaoxing appeared above the Soul-Devouring Sect in one step, standing in the air. He took out a handful of Restoring Spirit Pills, crushed them, and transformed them into points of light that scattered and enveloped the entire sect.
Most of the people in the Soul-Devouring Sect fell into a coma because their minds were shocked and shocked when they were in charge of the sect's protective formation. These recovery pills can effectively restore their souls.
After a while, some people started to wake up, and then more and more people woke up.
Everyone seemed very confused after waking up, looking around, not quite understanding what was going on. In fact, most people knew before they fell into a coma that they were probably doomed.
"Hmm? Is this the world after death? Why does it look familiar?"
"Of course it looks familiar. Isn't this our sect? Could it be that... the world after death is the same as the real world?"
"No, I'm not dead...!"
At first, everyone's comments were strange, but as some people realized what was happening, more and more people began to exclaim excitedly.
As for the disciples who were not unconscious, they looked at the figure hanging in the sky as if they were looking at a god.
Du Xu and Gu Nianxue's eyes turned red, and they knelt down and saluted Gu Xiaoxing.
On the contrary, those who had just woken up had not yet noticed Gu Xiaoxing in the sky until Gu Xiaoxing's voice spread throughout the sect.
"The former leader of the Soul Devouring Sect, Zhou Shoutai, secretly founded the Soul Devouring Sect, framed the Soul Devouring Sect, and murdered fellow disciples. He even wanted to destroy our Soul Devouring Sect when he was about to form his Nascent Soul. His crimes are unforgivable. I have killed him and purged the sect."
Everyone heard this and raised their heads again. When they saw Gu Xiaoxing's heroic figure standing with his hands behind his back, all the hesitation in their hearts disappeared, and they were at peace at this moment!
"Elder Gu, it was Elder Gu who killed the sect leader and saved us!" someone shouted excitedly.
When the person beside him heard this, he immediately slapped the man on the back of his head and corrected him, "Didn't you hear what Elder Gu said? The former sect master, that's the former sect master, no, it's a traitor, a traitor of our Soul Devouring Sect!"
After surviving a catastrophe, it was like being reborn. At this moment, everyone in the Soul Devouring Sect was very excited. The man was not angry when he was slapped on the back of the head. Instead, he said happily: "Yes, yes, that's a traitor... Hey! That's not right!"
"What's wrong?" The man next to him glared and was about to slap the man on the back of the head.
The man hurriedly asked, "Didn't Elder Gu say before that the traitor had formed a Nascent Soul? Oh my God...! Did Elder Gu kill the Nascent Soul?"
The slap that the man at the side was about to slap stopped immediately, and then he slapped himself in the face with his backhand, revealing a look of regret, and said: "Yes, with so many of us and Master Bai forming a great array to protect the sect, we couldn't resist him. He must be at least at the Nascent Soul level, but I was unconscious and didn't see Elder Gu killing the Nascent Soul!"
The man also slapped himself, "Who said it wasn't? Why did he faint?!"
Above the sky, Gu Xiaoxing was very satisfied with everyone's expressions, so he decided to stand for a while longer . He put his hands further behind his back and straightened his body. At the same time, he secretly regretted not leaving Zhou Shoutai's head behind. Otherwise, wouldn't it be more majestic to stand there holding his head like this?
"Damn it, I actually forgot about this!"
Only after everyone booed did Gu Xiaoxing pretend to cough dryly and then said, "You have made great contributions in protecting the sect, and you should be rewarded accordingly. But now, it is important to take care of the wounded first. We will discuss the reward later. Well... let's leave it at that."
