Volume 4: The Other Shore Chapter 893: Daoyu in the Underworld
When the evil ghost turned into a good ghost, he crawled tremblingly in front of Gu Xiaoxing. It was not until Gu Xiaoxing grabbed his hand and let go for a long time that he dared to raise his head cautiously and take a trembling look at Gu Xiaoxing.
Only when he saw that the depth in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes had completely disappeared and the previous sense of oppression was no longer there, did he visibly breathe a sigh of relief.
But even so, Guaigui didn't dare to get up immediately. The feeling of palpitation that Gu Xiaoxing's look had given him before was too strong.
After repeated confirmation, and making sure that Gu Xiaoxing had no reaction, the good boy finally became nervous and began to stand up tentatively.
As long as he noticed any change in Gu Xiaoxing's expression during this process , he would continue crawling without hesitation!
However, Gu Xiaoxing naturally would not react, there was only confusion in his eyes.
This made Guaigui breathe a sigh of relief, and then instinctively, he looked into the distance, wanting to leave.
He felt too insecure staying with this strange little star who might be of the same kind.
The palpitation that Guaigui felt when Gu Xiaoxing looked at him just now was something he never wanted to experience again.
So he lowered his head, used his peripheral vision to watch Gu Xiaoxing's reaction, and began to slowly back away.
After retreating to a certain distance, Guaigui suddenly turned around and fled away, as if he was afraid that Gu Xiaoxing would suddenly chase him.
But obviously not.
It was not until Guaigui was already very far away from Gu Xiaoxing that he finally felt relieved.
Subconsciously, he looked back and saw the illusory body of Gu Xiaoxing standing there quietly, thin and lonely, as if merging with the dim starry sky around it, like a desolate painting.
The good boy blinked his eyes, looking at the painting, as if he was touched, and seemed to be recalling the past, recalling the time when he was still a human being.
I don’t know what he recalled, but a sense of sadness inexplicably welled up in Guaigui’s eyes. His floating figure slowly stopped, then hesitated for a long time, and suddenly turned around and flew back towards Gu Xiaoxing.
Gu Xiaoxing still had no reaction. He just stared ahead silently, looking blankly at the dark starry sky.
It was not until the Good Ghost flew in front of Gu Xiaoxing again, stammered, and made a few tentative gestures that Gu Xiaoxing turned his eyes slightly and subconsciously looked at the Good Ghost.
But this kind of look is still just a simple gaze, without any thought in the eyes.
The good ghost seemed to have noticed this situation as well. His imaginary eyeballs rolled around and he thought about it and made a few simpler gestures.
But Gu Xiaoxing just looked at him blankly, which made Guaigui scratch his ears and cheeks. He, who couldn't speak, was so anxious that he finally squeezed out three words from his mouth.
“Follow…me…!”
However, Gu Xiaoxing remained indifferent.
This made the good boy deflated, and he had to leave alone again.
But when he looked back as he drifted away, he suddenly discovered that Gu Xiaoxing was following him!
This immediately made Guaigui's eyes light up, and then he squeezed out a few words again.
"This place...ghost hunters...are dangerous, the ghost lady...take shelter!"
The good boy's words were a little unclear, and he didn't care whether Gu Xiaoxing understood them or not. After he finished speaking, he began to float away.
And Gu Xiaoxing just followed him silently.
Guaigui's speed was very fast, roughly equivalent to that of the Source Realm, but he found that no matter how fast he was, Gu Xiaoxing could keep up, and it always seemed effortless.
Along the way, they crossed an extremely distant starry sky.
But this universe is always dim. For some unknown reason, the stars in the sky have long been extinguished, and only a few stars with faint light can be seen occasionally.
However, whenever encountering such stars, the good boy would stay away from them and take Gu Xiaoxing on a detour.
It seems that there is danger among those stars.
Gu Xiaoxing remained silent the entire time, just like how he had moved with the wind at the beginning, as if he would follow wherever the good boy went.
From time to time, the good boy would say something that no one else could understand except himself.
The universe is vast and when traveling in it, one always ignores the passage of time. This long journey is relatively calm and without any waves.
But this peace finally came to an end in the tenth year!
On this day, Guaigui, as usual, took Gu Xiaoxing and traveled across the universe, looking for the underworld girl he mentioned.
Ten years have passed, which is a long time of companionship. Guaigui has become accustomed to Gu Xiaoxing following behind him.
As for Gu Xiaoxing, there was no change from the beginning to the end.
Soon, a faint star appeared in front of them. Seeing the star, Guaigui immediately showed a gloomy look on his face, and he was about to change direction and go around it.
But at this moment, in this dim starry sky, a strange light suddenly appeared around Guaigui and Gu Xiaoxing!
These lights looked somewhat similar to the twinkling lights on the stars in the distance, but they were brighter. The moment they appeared, they spread instantly, as if forming a dragnet that enveloped Gu Xiaoxing and the other person!
This immediately changed the expression of Guaigui, and a ferocious look appeared on his face. Like a frightened beast, he looked around the void vigilantly and with some fear.
The next moment, five figures really walked out from the void of the dark starry universe!
"The ghost of the underworld has been around for eternity. I never thought I would meet the legendary ghost of will. Good luck today!"
One of them, after coming out, looked at the good ghost with burning eyes, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
But among these five people, the one with the highest cultivation and status set his eyes on Gu Xiaoxing.
This was an old man with a haggard face. He looked at Gu Xiaoxing, especially after seeing the coffin tightly held in Gu Xiaoxing's hand, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
These five people in this group are the ghost hunters that Guaigui once mentioned!
The underworld is one of the great universes in the vast dust of the universe!
Eons ago, for unknown reasons, the entire underworld was transformed into ghosts, causing countless stars in the entire universe to go out and become dark!
And the countless living beings living in this vast universe have also been transformed into ghosts along with this vast universe, becoming wandering ghosts without will.
In the end, the underworld was completely transformed into a ghost town!
However, not all living beings are transformed into ghosts. There are also many monks who do not become wandering ghosts for various reasons.
Afterwards, for a very long period of time, the monks in the underworld fought a great war with almost endless wandering ghosts!
Although there are many of these wandering ghosts, the vast majority of them have no will and no thoughts. They just blindly follow their instincts and obey the commands of the very few ghosts with will.
In those years, these ghosts with wills were called... Ghost Kings!
But will ghosts are only a minority after all. Once they are killed, the entire ghost group they belong to will immediately fall apart.
In this situation, after a long battle, the monks finally won!
Even because Dao Yu in the underworld turned into a ghost, the order of the universe changed, and the monks even created a new practice system!
This system is called Ghost Swallowing!
As the name suggests, monks can improve their own cultivation by devouring ghosts in the universe!
Moreover, this kind of improvement is much faster than ordinary practice. The higher the quality of the ghost's practice, the greater the benefit to the cultivator!
Among them, the Will Ghost is the most powerful!
From then on, in the underworld, wandering ghosts were no longer a major problem, but became treasures in the eyes of countless cultivators!
A special profession also came into being, it is called... ghost hunter!
However, although there are many lonely ghosts in the underworld, their numbers are decreasing rapidly due to countless years of hunting by ghost hunters!
Especially the will ghost, it is rare to see it in thousands of years!
And the five people who appeared in front of Gu Xiaoxing and Guaigui at this moment were such ghost hunters!
And among the ranks of ghost hunters, these five are considered the best!
The yellow-faced old man in the lead, with the Taoist name Ku Laogui, was known as the ghost hunting master. His cultivation had reached the fourth ancient realm, the level of the master of life and death!
As for the other four, three men and one woman, they are Green Ghost, Red Ghost, Binding Ghost, and Suppressing Ghost!
Their cultivation has also reached the level of half-step master of life and death!
As ghost hunters, they all use ghosts as their names. It has to be said that this is a bit ironic!
As for the Good Ghost, in the eyes of these five people, he is a very popular... Ghost of Will!
Although Guai Gui’s cultivation is only at the third ancient realm, as a ghost of will, he is special and a priceless treasure!
The good ghost obviously also heard and understood the red ghost's words "good luck". He immediately bared his teeth in anger and roared at him with deep malice in his eyes!
Facing this roar, the red ghost was not afraid at all. Instead, he grinned and said, as if teasing a trapped beast: "The will ghost is the will ghost. Not only can it show its teeth, but it can also issue a warning...!"
"But what's the difference between this and livestock?"
At this point, the Red Ghost glanced at Gu Xiaoxing who was standing quietly behind the Good Ghost, and said, "This ordinary ghost is much more comfortable to look at!"
"At least, not like livestock...!"
"Um?"
But suddenly, Chi Gui was stunned and saw the coffin in Gu Xiaoxing's hand, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
In the underworld, except for ghosts with will, ordinary ghosts have no will, so it is impossible for them to have obsessions to carry or protect something or someone.
A lonely ghost is just a lonely ghost. It will only wander around aimlessly and will instinctively resist only when it is truly threatened!
As a ghost hunter, he has never seen a red ghost holding a coffin like Gu Xiaoxing!
Obviously, there must be some kind of obsession involved!
But without will, how can there be obsession?
Including the other people, they also noticed this abnormality!
Moreover, the coffin gave them an extraordinary feeling, it was not an ordinary thing!
"Interesting, I want to see what this is!"
The red ghost smiled again, then raised his hand and tried to grab the coffin in Gu Xiaoxing's hand!
As the captain of this ghost hunting team, the old ghost just watched quietly without saying anything, and did not react to the red ghost's actions.
But at this moment, the good ghost suddenly moved sideways, stood in front of Gu Xiaoxing, and let out a thunderous roar at the red ghost!
This roar, with a powerful force, directly shattered the traction generated by the red ghost's grab, preventing him from succeeding!
The red ghost became angry because of this, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and he let out a low roar!
"brute!"
Then, a long rope of blazing flames flew out from the palm of the red ghost's hand and entangled the good ghost at an astonishing speed! !
