Chapter 107: The Yellow Robe
Intuitively, Gu Xu always felt that something was wrong with this statement.
Whether it was before or after the crossing, he regarded himself as an ordinary person mentally, but by chance, he paid some price in exchange for some gifts, so he had a different fate.
But at this moment, the white-haired boy told him that he had always been the reincarnation of a noble and powerful man.
Life on Earth in the past life, and the struggle on the way to practice in this life, are all arranged experiences.
This made him feel awkward.
"Let's go to Kunlun Mountain, not only to find the last fragment of the 'Astrolabe', but also to awaken all the power of your previous life," the white-haired young man sighed softly, and then said, "By that time, my mission should also be over." β
"What do you mean...... By that time, will you disappear? Completely out of the world of my consciousness? β
"That's right. What's wrong? Can't you bear me? β
"Hmm...... A little unaccustomed. β
"You're still a person who values love and righteousness. But I won't disappear completely, I'll become one with you. At that time, you will have everything that belongs to me, and we will truly be independent of each other. β
Gu Xu silently pondered the white-haired boy's words in his heart as he walked out of the golden light curtain.
The light faded behind him.
The scene that happened in front of him shocked him again.
He saw three shamans on the holy mountain appear in front of him at the same timeβ
One is the white-haired old woman I just saw.
One was an old man with thin hair who was blind in one eye. He was emaciated, dressed in colorful clothes similar to the old woman's, and looked like a rooster with bright feathers but a dead man.
There is also a tall young woman. The strangely shaped tattoos on her face, as well as the wild animal skin costumes, added a bit of a bewitching and respectful temperament to her originally handsome face.
These three men are transcendent and revered on the grasslands.
But at this moment, they all knelt in front of him.
One holds a richly coloured cross-collar robe, inlaid with precious stones, embroidered with gold and precious sable fur and precious silk fabrics.
One holds a golden crown with intricate reliefs on which the bite of four wolves and four argahorn sheep can be seen. At the top of the crown is a conspicuous wolf head, and a pair of emerald-encrusted eyes radiate a chilling glow.
One of them holds a cane made of white bone, and the head of the cane is carved into the shape of a skull, which looks rather eerie.
Gu Xu looked at them and frowned slightly.
"My lord, please forgive us for our previous disrespect," the old woman was the first to speak, "until the great wolf god sent down the oracle just now, we did not know that you are His incarnation, His messenger who walks in the world, and your command represents His will.
"In recent years, we and other grassland people have been oppressed by the Qi State, living in internal and external troubles. Only you can save us from suffering.
"We hereby implore you to become the new Khan of the steppe. Whatever your sword points to, we are willing to sacrifice our lives to accompany us. β
Hearing her words, Gu Xu did not respond immediately.
"What's going on?" He asked the white-haired boy in his mind.
"This is a big gift from Yuanbao," the white-haired young man smiled, "Aren't you going to fight against Emperor Tianxing and the Great Qi Dynasty in the future?" How can you do without your own power? Do you really want to stand up to a regime with strong roots and strong men on your own? β
"I just don't want to be a human incarnation of a dog." Gu Xu said lightly.
What the white-haired boy said did make sense. In the process of fleeing all the way in the recent period, he has deeply experienced the strong sense of powerlessness of a single person in the face of the huge state apparatus, and has escaped death many times in a situation where his life is hanging by a thread. If it weren't for Zhao Yan and Da Yanguo providing him with shelter, and Xue Nu serving as his bodyguard all the way, I'm afraid he would have died countless times.
It's just that Gu Xu is also a little self-aware, knowing that he is not the kind of person who is suitable for controlling a force.
On the one hand, it's because he's lazy. If it weren't for fate, he probably wouldn't even want to cultivate, he just wanted to lie at home and be a comfortable and enjoyable idler.
On the other hand, he really doesn't like to deal with the complex interests between people.
Like Shouchangfang in Luojing City, it is nominally his industry, but in fact he is a hands-off shopkeeper, and all the things at the bottom are handed over to Shen Qiu, the doorman.
The "great gift" sent by the wolf god today did not make him feel happy, but added a little worry to his heart.
There is no feast in the world that eats for free.
If he wants to use the power of the grassland barbarians to fight against the Great Qi Dynasty, he will inevitably bear a heavy responsibility, and his fate will be firmly bound to this group of "wolf people" from then on.
"But we can't tell them the truth directly, can we?" The white-haired boy responded in a mocking tone, "Then the mentality of these 'wolf people' will collapse directly." β
"I don't know this group at all."
"You are an angel of God, and there is no need to know them well. Besides, didn't you just discover that you can intercept and use the power of incense belonging to the wolf god? If you want to be promoted to the 'Guiru' realm in the future and deal with Taishang Haotian, you are destined to take the power of incense in the entire Great Wilderness World as your own.
"Although there are not many incense on the grassland, if you miss these, you will never have the opportunity to step into the threshold of the 'return to ruins' realm in your life.
"Besides, with the 'Blessing of the Wolf God', the Steppe Khan can have a saint-level combat power in a short period of time. Aren't you impressed by this at all? β
Gu Xu pondered for a few seconds.
"You arranged all of this in advance, right?"
The white-haired young man did not answer his question directly, but seized the opportunity to continue to tease him: "Look, how exhaustive you were in your previous life, how you knew how to take precautions and accumulate grain to prevent hunger. It's like you now, without a little planning, being chased around like a headless fly by the Great Qi Court, embarrassed.
"Hey, if it weren't for the fact that karma can't be changed, I really don't want to admit that you, a simple-minded fool, are my reincarnation."
Just as Gu Xu and the white-haired boy were talking in the world of consciousness, the three barbarian shamans no longer waited patiently for his reply, but adhered to the simple and rude tradition of the grassland, and couldn't help but put a golden crown and a robe on him, and forcibly stuffed the white bone cane into his hand.
Then he fell to the ground again and recited the obscure prayer aloud in the language of the steppe.
When everyone around saw such a scene, they were all shocked and horrified.
