Chapter 709: My greatest opportunity in Beimenguan is you
Jianghu?
Looking at Gu Xiu's back as he walked up to the attic, Jiang Ruochu thought for a moment, but soon followed Gu Xiu's footsteps and entered the attic.
As soon as I got inside, I saw that the attic was already crowded with people.
"Master Mei, this is the Thunder Spirit Wood that I went through so much trouble to obtain in the Northern Sea. I originally planned to give it to the sect after returning, but now that I've met you, I realize that giving it to the sect would be a waste of natural resources. It would be most appropriate to give it to you, Master Mei. I hope you won't refuse it."
"Young Master Mei, I have a third-grade Xuanling Pill here. I wonder if you could help me out?"
"Master Mei, I finally escaped from the Beiming Demon Cave. I only hope to return to the sect. I also hope that Master Mei can help me. The guest rooms in the city now require so many spirit stones. I can't afford them no matter what. Please have mercy on me. I am willing to be your slave and servant to repay you for saving my life."
"Senior Mei..."
Most of those who have managed to make a name for themselves in the world of cultivation understand how to survive in this world where the strong prey on the weak.
Although the monks trapped at the North Gate already hated Mei Huaping to the extreme, after weighing the gap in strength between the two sides, most people would make a wise choice at this time.
Some sent treasures, some sent elixirs, and some even sent themselves.
This is the way of survival for the weak.
Desperately?
That's something only a young kid would do.
In the face of everyone's continuous flattery, Mei Huaping ignored it from beginning to end. She just hugged the beauties around her and took away all the treasures given by everyone.
From beginning to end, he never responded to everyone's requests.
Just like the emperor who is high above.
It's hard to guess.
However, even though everyone was anxious, they had no choice but to obediently present their treasures and then give up their seats to the people behind them to continue presenting gifts, while they waited humbly on the side. Some of them even wanted to perform and helped Mei Huaping to maintain order at the scene.
This scene.
Jiang Ruochu frowned even more and couldn't help but glance at Gu Xiu.
However, Gu Xiu's expression remained calm, and he even followed the others in line, moving forward as if he was also about to offer a gift.
This made Jiang Ruochu feel a little strange.
She had thought that Gu Xiu would start killing people right away, but just as she was wondering, she suddenly noticed that while Gu Xiu was lining up, his eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings.
He is...
Suspect fraud?
Yes.
They each hid their identities this time, and even asked Sang Shoudao to help them leave secretly before they set out, in order to avoid the lingering ghosts of Sanxian Island or Anyue.
But even if no one was following them along the way, they could not avoid the North Gate anyway.
If the Three Immortals Island or the Dark Window intends to harm Gu Xiu.
A fortress like Beimenguan is indeed a good place to find Gu Xiu, even...
Jiang Ruochu suddenly looked up and looked at Mei Huaping carefully.
The Fengtian Rebellion had just begun not long ago, and there might indeed be some bad people among the Tianjiao, but why was Mei Huaping acting so recklessly now? Was it because he really had no scruples, or did he have other purposes?
"Next!"
Just as Jiang Ruochu was thinking about this, he saw the monk who was maintaining order over there speaking.
And the next one.
It happened to be Gu Xiu.
Like everyone before her, Mei Huaping didn't look at who was who from beginning to end. At this moment, she also didn't even glance at the pale-faced scholar that Gu Xiu had transformed into. She just enjoyed the wine that the beauty beside her handed to her.
What would he do?
Take direct action or just pretend to be submissive?
Jiang Ruochu became curious.
only……
Unexpectedly, she guessed Gu Xiu's move wrong. When Gu Xiu walked in front of Mei Huaping, he didn't attack directly, nor did he hand over the gift. Instead, he opened his mouth and asked Mei Huaping:
"You are from the Suling Palace, so you should be very familiar with the spirit and soul."
"I have a question about the transformation of spirits that I want to ask you."
When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.
no……
Others are rushing to curry favor with Mei Huaping just to survive, but this person actually dares to ask a direct question?
Where does the courage come from?
Gu Xiu, however, seemed oblivious to everyone's gazes. He spoke directly, asking his own question: "To achieve Divine Transformation, one needs to open up a sea of consciousness. But when the sea of consciousness is about to be completed, it keeps collapsing and turning back into nothingness, forcing one to start over from the beginning. Why is this?"
These words made the monks who took the initiative to maintain order look at each other and couldn't help but say strangely:
"Boy, if you don't ask your master about your cultivation, where else are you going to ask him?"
"If you've brought tribute, put it down and get out of the way. Don't block others."
"You don't even understand cultivation, it seems you're not a smart person, and your sea of consciousness will collapse, what a boast!"
"Once the sea of consciousness begins to develop, it is completely bound to one's own soul. If it collapses without reason, one's soul will be shattered and death will be inevitable. How can it be developed again? Are you playing house like a child?"
"..."
As they were talking, they were pushing and shoving, trying to drive Gu Xiu away.
only……
"you say……"
"Will your sea of consciousness collapse?"
“Even after collapse, can we continue to rebuild?”
When everyone wanted to continue showing off, Mei Huaping, who had never looked at anyone directly, suddenly froze in expression. She then turned to look at Gu Xiu, sizing him up seriously.
When Mei Huaping spoke, everyone else quickly quieted down.
Don't dare to disturb.
"Yes."
Gu Xiu nodded: "Have you heard of this situation?"
Mei Huaping didn't say anything, but just continued to frown and stare at Gu Xiu, as if she wanted to see through this pale-faced scholar in front of her.
Just a pity.
With three masks on, even the Supreme would find it difficult to tell who Gu Xiu was, let alone Mei Huaping. He naturally couldn't recognize who Gu Xiu was, and he couldn't even tell whether the person in front of him was disguised or had used some kind of transformation technique.
"What's your name?" Mei Huaping asked.
Gu Xiu shook his head: "It doesn't matter. You just need to answer me, have you ever heard of this kind of situation?"
His tone was calm, but the words he said made everyone present feel the same way.
Madness!
How arrogant!
Mei Huaping had just taken a life with one move, even a great cultivator had been killed before. Although this pale-faced scholar looked to have strong cultivation, since he had not yet reached the state of spiritual transformation, his realm must not be as high as Mei Huaping's.
How dare he?
As expected, Mei Huaping's eyes began to flicker with coldness in response to his extremely arrogant words. She said with a half-smile, "What if I don't want to tell you?"
"Then I will kill you." Gu Xiu replied.
"Kill me?" Mei Huaping laughed heartily, a look of sarcasm on her face: "Just you, a junior who hasn't even reached the level of a Spiritual Transformation?"
Gu Xiu didn't say anything.
He did not threaten or beg for mercy, but just looked calmly at Mei Huaping in front of him.
Mei Huaping, who was being stared at by him, gradually became stern in expression, with a dangerous look in her eyes.
"Gulu~!"
You could hear a pin drop at the scene, with only the sound of people swallowing saliva. Everyone couldn't help but show a trace of fear on their faces, and subconsciously moved away from the place, fearing that Mei Huaping would accidentally hurt them next.
Just unexpected.
Mei Huaping didn't make a move, but nodded and said:
"The sea of soul consciousness keeps collapsing. No matter how many times it is opened up, it is ultimately in vain."
"This situation..."
"If I remember correctly, my Suling Palace does have records of this kind of thing, and..."
Having said that, Mei Huaping paused for a moment, then stared deeply at Gu Xiu and asked in a voice transmission:
"Is there something else in your sea of consciousness?"
Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows.
I was still a little surprised.
He had originally just wanted to give it a try and ask about his current doubts, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed to actually know about it.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"I didn't expect it. I thought I was lucky to make a fortune here, but I didn't expect that my biggest opportunity in Beimenguan would be you!"
"very good!"
"very good!"
"It seems that the way of heaven was really targeting me in the past. Now, with the change of the sealed sky, my opportunity has arrived. This is when my plum painting screen will truly begin to reap a rich harvest."
Mei Huaping laughed heartily, her face full of joy, and said to Gu Xiu:
"Kneel down."
"Next, I will use it to brand your soul. You will acknowledge me as your master, and your life and death will be under my control. If so, I can make sure you suffer less."
"At least……"
"You don't have to die miserably at the North Gate like them."
As soon as these words came out, before Gu Xiu could say anything, the people around him suddenly reacted:
"Senior Mei, what do you mean?"
"Young Master Mei, we have no grudges against each other, you can't do this."
"You want to kill us all?"
"Senior Mei, you just took my things. You shouldn't have killed us!"
"..."
Everyone panicked and started speaking immediately. Even the few people who had been maintaining order on their own couldn't help but speak up at this moment, looking at Mei Huaping with hope in their eyes.
Just a pity.
Mei Huaping just sneered at these people's words:
"It's true that I accepted your things..."
"But when did I ever say that if I took your things, you would be able to survive?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar:
"You...how could you do this?"
"We've already spent all our spirit stones and even given you all our treasures. How could you kill us all?"
"I want to find General Wang. General Wang will never let you do such a thing!"
"You can't be like this!"
"..."
Everyone spoke up, but even at this time, most people were still angry but dared not speak out, and they didn't even dare to say anything bad.
Mei Huaping ignored these completely harmless questions and instead said to Gu Xiu, "Look at the looks in these people's eyes. What do you see?"
Gu Xiu tilted his head.
However, when these people looked at him, their eyes were timid and even a little expectant.
"They are hoping that I will show mercy and spare their lives. They are also hoping that you, who will soon become my slave, can find a way to save their lives."
"They knew they were going to die, but even at this moment, they didn't dare to show any evil look to me."
"you know……"
"Is that why?"
