Chapter 510 We Are Both Wanderers in This World
Under strong pressure, Gu Sheng mobilized all his divine power to fight against the invisible big hand.
But the harder he tried, the tighter his hold on that big hand became.
Realizing that something was wrong, Gu Sheng released his divine power fiercely, took out the Fire Spirit Dagger, and swung it forward fiercely.
A sneer sounded through the air.
Only then did Gu Sheng realize that the big hand was controlling his consciousness. If he strengthened him, he would become stronger!
Thinking of this, he dispersed half of his aura to test it.
Sure enough, as he weakened, the power of the black hole also weakened, and even the voice that penetrated his mind became a little weaker.
"Unexpectedly, you still have two brushes, but don't think that you can defeat me by weakening your own strength, because you are weak... then I am strong!"
As soon as he said these words, Gu Sheng felt a bang in his mind. The demon's power unexpectedly expanded to the extreme!
But when he weakened his aura, the demon actually wanted to take this opportunity to take over his body!
Under Gu Sheng's forcible control, his hand was raised unconsciously, and the sword of the Fire Spirit Dagger was aimed straight at his throat!
"I said, I am you, you are me, so the one who wants to kill you now is not me, but yourself!"
As the demon's words fell again, Gu Sheng felt that the sword was getting closer. At this time, his consciousness was gradually blurring, and he actually had some murderous intentions!
Just as the tip of the knife was getting closer and closer, gently scratching the skin, the pain suddenly made Gu Sheng's eyes clear.
Aware of his own constraints, he tried his best to control his right hand, but the effect was minimal.
Just when the demon wanted to kill him in one fell swoop, Gu Sheng suddenly changed his strategy and bit his tongue fiercely!
When the smell of blood spread into his mouth, Gu Sheng took the opportunity to take back the initiative in his body, changed direction with his right hand, stabbed forward fiercely, and the tip of the Fire Spirit dagger slashed straight into the black hole!
In an instant, screams rang out, coming from the arrogant demon!
Knowing that his method worked, Gu Sheng hurriedly pursued the victory. The fire spirit dagger in his hand struck the black hole again and again, and the screams of the demon became more miserable every time!
After an unknown amount of time, the voice finally weakened, and with the last scream, the demon finally died in his hands!
With the death of the demon, the chaos around Gu Sheng also dissipated. After his eyes gradually became clear, he saw the bead again.
At this time, the beads were flashing with green light, and the momentum was far stronger than before.
Quickly stepping forward, Gu Sheng reached out for the bead again. This time, the bead fell into his hand easily.
Gu Sheng didn't have time to take a closer look, so he tried his best to destroy the forbidden area, and broke out at the last second when the forbidden area collapsed!
The rumbling sound continued, and Gu Sheng had no choice but to hide in the small cauldron.
After a while, the sound gradually dissipated, and when there was only the sound of falling rocks, Gu Sheng hurriedly broke the cauldron and came out.
As soon as he appeared, he saw Shilou and Ergou who were all injured.
Quickly stepping forward, Gu Sheng pulled the two of them up.
"How are you doing? Is it serious?"
Looking at him, the two of them had bright eyes.
"Brother Sheng, you...actually destroyed the forbidden area of Qingxia Sect?!"
"Yes, the Qingxia Sect's forbidden area enchants the human mind. As long as the mind is strong enough, you can also destroy it."
Shilou and Ergou disagreed with this. Half of their lives were wasted outside. How could they come out alive if they went in?
"Where are the others? Are you still fighting with the people from Qingxia Sect?"
Hearing this, Ergou shook his head repeatedly.
"Brother Sheng, the people from Qingxia Sect have already escaped. When the forbidden area continued to vibrate, Master Ling Xiao took them to escape."
"How many people did they escape?"
"More than a dozen people..."
Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes dangerously when he learned that there were still more than a dozen people from Qingxia Sect alive.
"Then let them live a little longer. In the future, I will definitely take their lives myself!"
Hearing this, Shilou and Ergou nodded desperately.
They will definitely avenge Stone Village!
"Where are the others?"
"Not many people survived, and they were all hiding under the caves."
When he said this, Shi Lou's voice was obviously choked with sobs.
They rescued hundreds of people from the Soul Refining Cave, but after this battle, there were very few people left.
Thinking of those who had sacrificed their lives to pave the way for them, he felt sad in his heart.
Seeing him like this, Gu Sheng felt uncomfortable.
It's just that people can't be resurrected. What they have to do now is to rescue the remaining people and let them escape from here completely.
Under the guidance of the two people, Gu Sheng finally saw other people.
Although these people survived, they were all seriously injured.
They were already tortured badly by the Soul Refining Cave, and after this battle, they basically lost half their lives.
Seeing Gu Sheng, they all fell to the ground.
"Thank you hero for saving me!"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng hurriedly helped everyone get up.
"Everyone's serious, I just saw an injustice on the road and drew my sword to help."
After that, he took out the spiritual stones and distributed them to everyone without hesitation.
"Everyone is injured, and there is nowhere to recover at this time. Let's use this spirit stone to recover for the time being."
Looking at the mountain of spiritual stones in his hands, everyone became more grateful and subconsciously wanted to prostrate themselves to the ground again.
As if Gu Sheng had predicted their movements, his divine power had already stopped their movements before they knelt down.
"You don't have to be like this. In this battle, everyone's contribution is equal. These spiritual stones are what you deserve."
Everyone could tell that this was a step given by him, and they accepted his kindness despite being grateful.
Gu Sheng was afraid that people from the Qingxia Sect might be ambushing him, so after much deliberation, he decided to lead the team away in person.
Along the way, he kept feeling the aura of Qingxia Sect, but surprisingly, he didn't feel it at all!
It seems that the people of Qingxia Sect really retreated. In order to survive, they even gave up their base camp! What a bunch of cowards!
When he arrived at a safe place, Gu Sheng stopped.
"Everyone, this is a safe place. Let's say goodbye and see you again in the future!"
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, no one left the scene.
Shilou and Ergou looked at each other with confused expressions.
At this moment, a man came forward and knelt down in front of Gu Sheng.
"Brother Sheng, when they entered the Soul Refining Cave, they had already killed my whole family and left me alone to survive. Now I have nowhere to go and I just want to follow Brother Sheng! Please take Brother Sheng under your wing!"
After he finished speaking, others also fell to the ground and shouted loudly: "We voluntarily follow Brother Sheng, please take him in!"
Looking at them, Gu Sheng pursed his lips slightly.
He never expected that the people of Qingxia Sect would be so exterminated! Not only did he take them into the Soul Refining Cave, but in order to make them abandon their emotions and desires, he even killed their entire family!
The people of Qingxia Sect have done so many evil things, and they will surely reap the consequences in the future!
"Everyone, the three of us are going back to Stone Village. Are you willing to go with me?"
Seeing Gu Sheng relaxed, everyone looked happy and nodded hurriedly.
After both parties reached a consensus, Gu Sheng turned to look at Shilou and Ergou.
Before he could speak, Shilou said first, "Brother Sheng, we are your people and we will listen to you in everything!"
After he finished speaking, Ergou nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, Brother Sheng, you have the final say."
After hearing what the two of them said, Gu Sheng curled his lips.
"Okay, then we will return together."
In this way, the three of them led everyone back to Stone Village.
Stone Village was destroyed and is still being rebuilt. Men, women, old and young are all busy. When they feel someone approaching, they subconsciously want to raise their swords to fight.
Knowing that they had not yet emerged from the shadow of Qingxia Gate, Gu Shengren arrived before he could.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, we are back."
Hearing Gu Sheng's voice, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all abandoned their swords and came forward.
After a while, Gu Sheng and others arrived.
Seeing the faces of all the beings behind him, everyone unconsciously looked wary.
Gu Sheng stepped forward and said softly: "Don't be nervous, they are not bad people, they are poor people we rescued from the Qingxiamen Soul Refining Cave."
After hearing this, everyone was confused.
Gu Sheng explained the matter in detail, and everyone was filled with indignation, and the vigilance on their faces gradually turned into pity.
When Gu Sheng finished speaking, they had completely accepted these people.
The two parties no longer intentionally kept a distance, but chatted more and more familiarly.
Taking advantage of this time, Gu Sheng looked around the Stone Village.
Under the attack of Qingxia Gate, Shitou Village became dilapidated. Only some ruins of the neat buildings in the past were left. It was now in a mess and there was no place for everyone to devote themselves to. Although everyone had tried their best to repair it, it was not Young people are injured and have little strength, resulting in little effect.
After thinking about it, Gu Sheng turned to look at everyone.
"Everyone, Shitou Village can no longer be inhabited. Are you willing to find another place to take root?"
After hearing this, the expressions of everyone in Stone Village changed.
They looked at each other and then remained silent in tacit agreement.
When no one spoke, Gu Sheng explained: "I don't mean to force you to move. I just think that it is easier to build a new place than to repair this place. But this is just my personal opinion. You don't have to let it go. Feel free to speak out if you have any ideas.”
After hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
An old man stood up and said: "Gu Sheng, although Shitou Village is dilapidated, we don't want to move away. We have lived here for generations and regard this place as our homeland. It is difficult to leave our homeland. I hope you understand."
After he finished speaking, another person also stood up: "Elder Shi died here fighting for us. We can't protect his people, but we want to protect his soul. We don't want to give up this land."
"Gu Sheng, we can repair this place. If it doesn't work in one year, it will take ten years. If it doesn't work in ten years, it will take a hundred years."
After hearing what everyone said, Gu Sheng already understood what they were thinking.
Stone Village is a part of their lives and will never be abandoned no matter what.
That being the case, he respects their choice.
"Everyone, would you mind if there were more people in Stone Village?"
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at the person behind him, and then shook their heads in unison.
"I don't mind. We are all downgraded people in the world. As long as they are willing, we are willing to lend a helping hand."
Hearing this, everyone who came out of the Soul Refining Cave showed gratitude.
"Are you willing to stay in Stone Village?"
"Brother Sheng, we are willing!"
"Since you are willing, then recover well and contribute to the restoration of Stone Village in the future!"
"no problem!"
Everyone agreed in unison and settled down in Stone Village.
At night, Shilou and Ergou sat next to Gu Sheng and asked in a low voice: "Brother Sheng, should we continue to search for the whereabouts of Qingxia Gate?"
"Xun, but not now, we have more important things to do now."
"Something more important?"
"right."
"What's up?"
"Repair Shitou Village. I heard that there is a kind of wood in Yinshen Mountain that has strong divine power and can be used to build houses. Once it is completed, in times of crisis, everyone only needs to hide in the house to double the defense, which is equivalent to adding a layer of protective shield to everyone. In this way, even if we are not there, we don't have to worry too much about the safety of everyone in Shitou Village."
Hearing this, Shilou's eyes lit up.
"Brother Sheng, you are talking about the Yinchen Wood! Each piece of wood was produced thousands of years ago and refined by the essence of the sun and the moon. Each piece of wood has a divine body and can be used as a weapon or a house. No matter what it is used for, the benefits are countless! Not only is it strong in defense, it can also absorb the energy of the sun and the moon for the owner to use and enhance the divine power!"
"Yes, it is the Yinchen Wood. We use the Yinchen Wood to build Shitou Village, which can at least ensure safety for a hundred years."
Seeing that Gu Sheng thought so far ahead, Shilou and Ergou's eyes were slightly red.
"Brother Sheng, we really don't know how to thank you."
Seeing the two of them like this, Gu Sheng raised his hand and landed two punches.
"You are so polite, but you treat me as an outsider?"
Hearing this, the two shook their heads.
"No, no, in our hearts, Brother Sheng is closer than our relatives, how could we treat him as an outsider? We are thanking you on behalf of everyone in Shitou Village..."
"No one needs to thank me. Shitou Village has done me a favor, and I will repay it. We will go to Yinshen Mountain tomorrow morning."
"Okay! As long as Brother Sheng speaks, let alone Yinshen Mountain, we will go even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire!"
"Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep quickly."
Gu Sheng urged, and then turned around.
Neither of them saw that the corners of Gu Sheng's mouth were raised high.
At dawn, there was no house to block the sun, and the sun shone down, shining on everyone fairly.
Everyone woke up slowly and saw all their companions at a glance.
The atmosphere was no longer as sad as before, and many people were teasing each other.
Hearing the voice, Gu Sheng opened his eyes and looked at the sky. It was still early, just right to set off.
Standing up, he came to the crowd and announced that he was going to Yinshen Mountain.
After he finished speaking, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared and quickly turned into tension.
"Gu Sheng, although the dark wood is good, Yinshen Mountain is a dangerous place. It is said that there are many wild beasts there, and their cultivation is no less than a hundred years. It is too risky for the three of you to go there!"
"Yes, we need a lot of wood to rebuild the entire Stone Village. Even if each family has one, it will take dozens of pieces. You risk your life to go there. Even if you can get the wood, you may not get so much. Why lose your life for this?"
"If you have to choose between wood and brothers, I don't want dark wood, I want brothers."
After this person's voice fell, others spoke up.
Elder Shi left, they can't lose Gu Sheng again!
Choosing between dark wood and Gu Sheng, they choose Gu Sheng! (End of this chapter)
