Chapter 362 Stay Away From the Fight Between Big Guys
He walked through the ruins, looking around for the elixir. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. A jade snake orchid was growing quietly next to a huge rock, emitting a faint fluorescence. Gu Sheng carefully picked it and put it in his bag. Immediately afterwards, he discovered four other precious elixirs, and was secretly happy.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered a strange place. There was a group of emerald green light shining there, which seemed to be some kind of essence of life. Gu Sheng took a closer look and was immediately shocked. Could this be the life essence left by the legendary old tree spirit? He was so excited that he quickly put it away.
At this moment, a deafening roar came from the direction of Hantan. Gu Sheng looked up and saw a huge corpse rushing out of the cold pool and fighting fiercely with five big shots. It turned out that the corpse of the Demon Emperor's mount Jian was transformed into a spirit corpse and became a gravekeeper.
The battle was extremely fierce. Although the five big men were powerful, the corpse was not a fuel-efficient lamp. It roared, each attack carrying devastating power. The ruins began to shake in all directions, as if something was about to break out of its shell.
Suddenly, a loud "click" sound came, and the Dao lines in all directions of the ruins were forcibly broken open! Countless monks poured into the ruins, wanting a piece of the pie.
Gu Sheng was secretly happy when he saw this. This was a good opportunity for him to leave. His figure flashed and disappeared into the ruins.
"Hahaha! Finally out!" Gu Sheng stood on a mountain peak outside the ruins and said with a laugh, "Although this adventure is extremely thrilling, it is also very rewarding!"
He looked at the elixir and life essence in his hand, and his heart was filled with joy. Then he turned around and left. He knew that he still had a long way to go and couldn't be held back by things here.
Within the ruins, the fighting continued. The battle between the five big shots and the zombies has reached a fierce stage.
Every attack they make is enough to change the color of the world and cause the mountains and rivers to collapse!
At this moment, an even more terrifying aura emerged from the depths of the cold pool.
"What is that?!" one of the big shots exclaimed.
They only felt that a powerful force was approaching, as if it was going to swallow up the entire ruins!
Gu Sheng was already far away from the ruins, but he could still feel the terrifying aura. He sighed secretly in his heart: "This Demon Emperor's Yin Tomb is indeed extraordinary! Fortunately, I left in time!"
Xiaoyao Dengxianbu incorporates the secret technique of space jumping, which is a meteor across the sky.
"Whoosh——"
A stream of light flashed across the edge of the ruins, and it was Gu Sheng's figure. He left the ruins full of killings and conspiracies. He just wanted to find a pure place where he could practice in peace.
After flying for a long time, a quaint and quiet town came into view. The town is surrounded by green mountains and gurgling green water, making it look like a fairyland on earth. Gu Sheng descended slowly and entered this small town that seemed to be isolated from the world.
The wooden houses on both sides of the street exude the fragrance of time. Children are chasing and playing on the street, and adults are sitting around in the shade of the trees chatting. Everything here made Gu Sheng feel more relaxed than ever before.
"Gulu——"
Gu Sheng's stomach suddenly growled, and he realized that he was already hungry. Looking around, a seemingly simple but clean and tidy restaurant caught his attention.
"Boss, here are some of your specialty dishes!" Gu Sheng strode into the restaurant and shouted boldly.
Not long after, delicacies with delicious flavors and colors were served one by one. Gu Sheng devoured it as if it was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten in his life. After Tingting ate the food, he realized that he was penniless.
Gu Sheng's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed. He touched his pocket, but couldn't find even a copper coin. At this time, the owner of the restaurant, a kind old man with white hair, came over.
"Young man, are you satisfied with your meal?" the old man asked with a smile.
"Satisfied, very satisfied!" Gu Sheng praised sincerely, but then he looked embarrassed, "It's just... I just went out in a hurry today and forgot to bring money..."
The old man saw Gu Sheng's embarrassment. He waved his hand and said magnanimously: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Seeing that you are also a monk, there will inevitably be inconvenience when you go out. This meal is my treat for you. Bar."
When Gu Sheng heard this, a warm current surged in his heart. He quickly stood up and bowed deeply: "Old man, I will keep your kindness in my heart. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you!"
After that, he took out a crystal clear jade bottle from his storage bag and handed it to the old man: "This is a bottle of elixir that I accidentally got when I was practicing outside. Although it is not a rare treasure, it can also extend life. Please accept it.”
The old man refused resolutely: "Young man, I accept your offer. But the elixir is too valuable for me to accept. If you really want to repay me, please help me take care of it after practicing. Just some chores in the restaurant.”
Seeing that the old man was resolute, Gu Sheng stopped forcing him. He nodded and agreed readily: "Okay! Then I will stay and help you with some hard work."
In the following days, Gu Sheng became busy in the restaurant. He helped chop wood, carry water, wash dishes, wipe tables... No matter what dirty work it was, he did it in an orderly manner. Whenever he has free time, he will sit cross-legged and enter a state of cultivation.
The residents of the town quickly became familiar with this hard-working and mysterious young man. Especially the little girl Tingting in the restaurant, she always likes to hang around Gu Sheng, curiously asking about cultivation and the outside world.
"Big brother, can you take me flying?" Tingting blinked her big eyes and looked at Gu Sheng expectantly.
Gu Sheng smiled and touched Tingting's head: "Of course. When you embark on the path of cultivation one day, I will take you to fly all over the world."
The time spent together made Gu Sheng feel the long-lost warmth and tranquility. He knew that he could not stay here for a long time, but the concern in his heart made him reluctant to leave.
As night fell, Gu Sheng sat quietly on the roof, looking at the starry sky, his heart full of longing for home. "Home, it is the warm embrace of my parents under the distant starry sky." He murmured to himself, with a firm light in his eyes.
The moonlight was like water, falling on this quaint town and on Gu Sheng's resolute face. His thoughts drifted far away, but his heart was always concerned about this town that gave him warmth, as well as the kind old man and the lovely girl Tingting.
"Big brother, why don't you rest?" Tingting's childish voice broke the tranquility of the night. She looked up at Gu Sheng on the roof, her eyes full of concern.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, jumped off the roof, and gently touched Tingting's head: "I'm thinking about something, why haven't you slept yet?"
"I can't sleep, I want to talk to my big brother." Tingting blinked her big eyes and said innocently.
The two sat on the stone steps in front of the house and chatted about family matters. Tingting told the story of her and her grandfather's dependence on each other, while Gu Sheng shared his practice experience and his hometown far away. In this quiet night, the two people's hearts are closely dependent on each other.
The tranquility of the next morning was broken by a loud noise. Gu Sheng got up early and went to the mountains to hunt and prepare food for the old man and Tingting. He used the Nine Swords of Gale, and when the sword light flashed, a roe deer and a musk deer fell to the ground.
When Gu Sheng returned with a full load, he found that the town was full of people. His heart tightened, and he hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, only to see that the old man and Tingting were being besieged by several villains.
"Old man, pay up! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!" a villain roared fiercely. They were obviously the bullies in the area, oppressing the people and doing all kinds of evil.
Gu Sheng was furious when he saw this. He strode forward, pushed the villains away, and protected the old man and Tingting behind him: "What do you want to do?!"
"Boy, who are you? How dare you meddle in our business!" The villain glared at Gu Sheng and said disdainfully.
"It doesn't matter who I am." Gu Sheng responded coldly, "What's important is that you shouldn't bully this innocent grandparents and grandchildren."
"Haha, what a hero saving a beauty! But who do you think you are? Dare to go against us?" The villains drew their weapons and rushed towards Gu Sheng aggressively.
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he urged his skills. The bitter sea in the secret realm of Lunhai was churning up golden waves, and his breath was mighty. His ancient holy body was shining with golden light, as if a god of war had descended to the world.
"Nine Swords of Swift Wind!" Gu Sheng shouted in a low voice, and the sword light was like a dragon, instantly repelling the villain who rushed in front by several steps.
The villains were shocked when they saw this, they had never seen such a powerful cultivation. Gu Sheng did not give them too much time to think. He was like the wind, and instantly came in front of a villain, slapped out with a palm, and the golden palm was printed on the villain's chest, directly knocking him out.
"Ah——" The villain screamed and fell to the ground, and could not get up again.
The other villains were terrified when they saw this, and they all fled. Gu Sheng did not chase him. He turned around and helped the old man and Tingting up: "It's okay, you are safe."
The old man and Tingting looked at Gu Sheng's back, their eyes full of gratitude and awe. They knew that this young man not only saved their lives, but also gave them new hope, but the old man had another hidden worry.
The old man told Gu Sheng about his worries. These gangsters have backers, and there is a huge force behind them. It is complicated. He doesn't know whether he should let Gu Sheng get involved in these causes and effects.
"Hu——"
Gu Sheng let out a long breath, his eyes flashing with determination. After learning about the old man and Tingting's experience, he knew that he had taken on the responsibility of protecting them. And to do this, he must become stronger.
He wandered around the town for a few times, quietly inquiring about the background and industry of the Li family. This family was domineering in the town, oppressing the people, and doing all kinds of evil. Gu Sheng secretly made up his mind to uproot this evil force.
After returning to the small restaurant, Gu Sheng did not rush to act, but chose to practice. He knew that only strength was the fundamental solution to the problem. He took out the "Taoism Scripture" from his arms. This was an ancient book he accidentally got in the ancient ruins, which recorded a mysterious practice method.
At this moment, the Bodhi seeds in his hand also emitted a faint light, as if echoing the "Taoism Scripture". The bodhi seed is a treasure that Gu Sheng picked up in the ruins. It contains endless life essence. At this moment, it seems to feel the determination of its owner and begins to emit gentle energy to help Gu Sheng better comprehend the mysteries in the "Taoism Sutra".
Gu Sheng sat cross-legged, placed the "Taoism Sutra" on his knees, put his hands together, and quietly felt the energy of the bodhi seed pouring into his body. He gradually entered the state of cultivation, and his mind was immersed in the mysterious world of the "Taoism Sutra".
As time went by, Gu Sheng's body began to emit golden light. His wheel sea secret realm was gradually opened up, the sea of suffering was turbulent, and the golden waves were rolling endlessly. The wheel of life under his navel also began to emerge with various visions, mountains, rivers, lakes, flowers, birds, and beasts... Everything seemed to be reproduced in this small wheel sea.
Gu Sheng's ancient holy body showed its power at this moment. His body became golden, and as the golden light flowed, it was as if a golden god of war descended on the earth. He could slap out golden palms and golden fists at will, and each blow contained the power to destroy the world.
In this process, Gu Sheng's skills and martial arts gradually merged with the ancient holy body. The Nine Swords of Gale, the Shadow Hiding Skill, the Free and Easy Ascension Steps... These martial arts exerted unprecedented power in his hands. His grass vine demon soul also became more agile, more than 10,000 meters long, and could easily corrode the enemy.
Gu Sheng, who was practicing, seemed to be integrated with the whole world. He felt the breath of heaven and earth and the rhythm of all things. His heart was full of strength, which came from the power of the ancient holy body and the firm belief in his heart.
After an unknown period of time, Gu Sheng slowly opened his eyes. There was a sharp light flashing in his eyes, as if he could see through all the falsehoods. He felt that his strength had increased a lot, and his heart was full of confidence.
"Now, it's time to settle accounts with the Li family." Gu Sheng stood up and stretched, his bones crackling. He walked out of the small restaurant and headed towards the Li family.
At this moment, the old man and Tingting also felt the changes in Gu Sheng. They looked at Gu Sheng's back, their eyes full of gratitude and awe. They knew that this young man not only saved their lives, but also gave them new hope. And at this moment, Gu Sheng seemed to be an invincible god of war in their eyes, who would lead them to a new life.
"Big brother, you must be careful!" Tingting couldn't help shouting.
"Don't worry, Tingting. I will be careful." Gu Sheng smiled back, then turned around and strode away. His heart was full of determination and faith. He knew that he was about to face a tough battle. But he also firmly believed that as long as he had enough strength, he would be able to overcome all difficulties and protect those innocent people.
Gu Sheng sat cross-legged in the quiet room, his eyes closed, his mind completely immersed in the secret realm of the wheel sea in his body. His heartbeat echoed the rhythm of heaven and earth, as if he could hear the distant sound of the Great Dao.
In the process of cultivation, he gradually comprehended the four realms of the Wheel Sea Volume of the Dao Sutra: the Sea of Bitterness, the Fountain of Life, the Divine Bridge, and the Other Shore. These realms are like four towering mountains, each representing a milestone on the road of cultivation. (End of this chapter)
