Chapter Ninety-Two: The Means of Emptiness
The girl stood alone in the courtyard.
Her hand was still hanging in the air, reaching out to where Gu Xu had just been, maintaining a posture of grabbing his sleeve.
The rain was pouring down, soaking her dress, but she didn't seem to notice it.
Gu Xu's words kept echoing in her mind, and more and more memories surfaced one after another.
All kinds of thoughts are intertwined, and they become a mess of cutting and untidying.
At this moment, with the roar of thunder, another group of demons and monsters swarmed towards her - they were holding weapons of all shapes, and their faces were numb and stiff, which filled the entire courtyard with a creepy and eerie atmosphere.
"You are the true master here."
"As long as you do wake up, they won't be your opponents."
The girl closed her eyes and whispered what Gu Xu had said.
When her eyes opened again, the temperature in the courtyard plummeted, as if winter had suddenly arrived.
The pouring rain like the Milky Way poured down all solidified into goose feather snowflakes in an instant, and they fell from the sky one after another.
This gray, cold and bleak world has become a blanket of silver.
Pure, holy, and seems to wash away all the dirt thoroughly.
The demons and monsters that came like a tide also stopped in place at this moment, turning into pale, still ice sculptures, and their empty expressions were fixed on their faces.
"It's over." The girl looked at the white mansion and sighed softly.
As her words fell, countless dense cracks appeared on the hundreds of ice withering, and then with the sound of crubbing, they quickly cracked into countless debris and melted into the snow all over the ground.
It's like it never existed.
At this moment, a sentence mentioned by Gu Xu when telling the story suddenly appeared in the girl's mind - "The land is so clean when it falls white".
Then, her mind moved, and the whole world in front of her became a huge picture, which she tore apart from the middle and tore to shreds.
The truth hidden behind the scroll is also revealed.
…………
The two of them may have spent a long time in the world of divine souls.
But in the real world, it's just a moment.
The cold wind is still howling.
More and more people in Liangzhou have turned into pale and still ice.
Gu Xu's eyes turned black again.
Next to him, the clones of the Kongxuansan people were still chanting incantations, manipulating formations, and carrying out the ritual of promoting the ghost king.
Gu Xu could clearly feel that the aura on their bodies was rising and becoming more and more powerful.
"Failed, didn't you?" The white-bearded old man glanced at him and said with a smile, "I told you a long time ago that the Snow Girl's humanity is long gone, so you don't have to work her anymore."
"It seems that the immortal master does not understand human nature enough." Gu Xu held the pen in his hand and responded calmly.
As he spoke, the Snow Maiden who was hanging in the air not far away suddenly frowned, and her pursed lips into a line.
Her black twin children were originally hollow and godless, like bottomless dry wells.
But at this moment, complex emotions such as pain, worry, and sorrow are revealed—like the autumn breeze blowing, and the still lake surface rippling with layers of ripples.
The cold wind suddenly stopped.
Flying snowflakes hover in the air.
The Snow Maiden slowly landed on the ground and turned her head towards where Gu Xu was.
Quietly, Gu Xu's figure coincided with the teenager in the world of consciousness.
"Childe?" She uses the Thrilling Pen as a medium to convey the voice of her divine sense.
"Miss Lu."
"These...... I did it, right?" The Snow Maiden's gaze swept over the ice sculptures on the snow. Her voice trembled slightly, and Gu Xu could clearly feel the pain in her soul.
Gu Xu nodded and shook his head again.
「
He, to be exact." He stretched out his hand and pointed to the empty Xuansan man next to him.
After seeing the appearance of the white-bearded old man, the Snow Girl's face changed suddenly, and she unconsciously took a few steps back.
Although she had never remembered the face clearly, the face of the Empty Xuansan Man had been deeply imprinted in her mind for a long time like a nightmare.
It was this person who had fished her soul back from the road to the underworld, and sealed it in this cold shell, along with the instinct to eat human flesh and cannibalistic souls.
In the process, her soul suffered.
And after that, her pain never stopped.
At this time, the Xuansan people naturally noticed the change in the state of the Snow Maiden.
His eyebrows rose slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, he didn't expect that after breaking the hairpin, the Snow Girl would be able to regain her senses.
But this small change was not enough to shake his self-confidence.
Even if the Snow Girl still has human nature, she is only his creation after all; Gu Xu was just a weak Fourth Realm cultivator, and in his eyes he was undoubtedly an ant-like existence.
Of course, since this ant always toasts and does not eat and drink, and always causes trouble, the people of Kongxuansan decide to give him some small punishments so that he can learn to be in awe.
So the people of Kongxuansan performed the technique of "Shuo Cause".
In an instant, the people fleeing in Liangzhou City, the panicked officials, and the few low-level cultivators suddenly regarded Gu Xu as an enemy who did not share the sky.
They all have an extra memory in their minds out of thin air - either Gu Xu killed his parents, or Gu Xu took his wife and daughter, or Gu Xu plundered his family property......
Although, if you look closely at these memories that pop up out of thin air, you will feel that they are full of loopholes and completely unbelievable.
But at this moment, everyone in Liangzhou was manipulated by angry emotions, and they had no time to think about the authenticity of this memory.
They no longer ran out of the city, but changed direction and rushed towards Gu Xu's location. Everyone's eyes were like a burning torch, vowing to dismantle Gu Xu and wash his blood with blood.
I have to say that this move of the empty Xuansan people is quite effective.
If Gu Xu was asked to deal with the enemy, he would be able to use all kinds of means.
But when he was confronted with thousands of innocent people who were unarmed and manipulated, he felt a little in the way and difficult to deal with.
After all, he is not a cold-blooded and ruthless hero, and it is impossible for him to be ruthless enough to burn them all to death with the "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky".
He could only use his body skills and dodge everywhere.
But wherever he hid, a crowd followed—he hid in the canopy, and the people followed him up the tree; He hid on the eaves, and the people stepped on one shoulder, built a ladder, and climbed up to the roof; He hid in a dry well, and the people grabbed the ropes and jumped into the well one by one like monkeys......
He threw out a few sigils, conjuring up an invisible wall in an attempt to stop the men.
But with a slight wave of his hand, the wall instantly collapsed and turned into nothing.
Looking at Gu Xu's embarrassed appearance, Kong Xuansanren smiled coldly, and said secretly in his heart: "Boy, since you are doing everything possible to hinder my plan, then now, you will replace the Snow Maiden and be this tool to help me sacrifice 100,000 souls!"
He believed that under the influence of the "Shuoyin" spell, the kid who always wanted to be the savior would eventually be unable to bear the pressure and kill people - his expression would be very wonderful at that time.
