Chapter 27: Iniquity

My name is Gu Bai, the weird Gu, the worship of the church.

I like my cousin Guli, and she likes me, but she can't marry me.

Now that Guli is dead, in order to resurrect her, I would rather betray the totem and dedicate my soul to the Dark Lord.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

In a hidden ice cave, the black gas is swirling, the wind is gusting, and there is an ice coffin in the middle, which is a barbarian woman who has been dead for a long time, although there is an ice coffin, but most of the female corpse has also rotted, but it can be vaguely seen that this barbarian woman is not ugly when she is alive, she should be a very handsome woman.

"Sister Li, I miss you every night, do you know?" A barbarian man wearing a black cloak stroked the cold face of the female corpse with his hand, and there seemed to be tears flashing in his eyes.

This barbarian man is called Gubai, a sorcerer of the Yuzhenhou tribe and the cousin of the leader Gurung, who was raised by his cousin Guli after his parents died when he was a child. Gubai has been thin since he was a child, not at all like a barbarian known for his physical strength, but like a Fuza, so he is often discriminated against by the tribesmen, only his cousin Guli always cares for him and encourages him, never a trace of dislike, over time, Gubai has a very wonderful feeling for his cousin Guli, he respects Guli, and is very attached to her.

After Gubai became an adult, his personality became silent and gloomy, he often suppressed the feelings in his heart, and strongly wanted to express them, in the midst of gains and losses, he finally lost the opportunity, and his cousin was arranged by Gurung to marry Giordanro of the Xiling tribe. On the day his cousin left the tribe, Gubai stood alone on the top of the mountain looking at the distant greeting procession, his eyes were on fire, his heart was like a cave of ice, his two fists were clenched, so that his nails pierced his palms deeply, but he didn't feel any pain at all, and blood flowed down his fingers and dripping on the ground.

"I need strength, and only strength can get me what I want!"

From that day on, Gubai understood a truth, without strength, he is an insignificant person, and the clan will not value his opinion because he is the cousin of the chief, and the barbarian only respects strength, and only strength can break all taboos and regain the love of his heart.

Gu Bai prayed to the totem day and night, hoping that the totem would give him omnipotent power, but his piety was never reciprocated by the totem, until one day he heard the death of his cousin Guli, and he rushed to his cousin's grave desperately, where he cried for a long time, and his heart was broken.

Gubai felt that everything was meaningless, and when he was about to kill himself at the grave, the Dark Lord appeared.

As long as there are human beings in this world, and as long as there are all kinds of evil caused by human desires, the Dark Lord will continue to grow stronger and will never be destroyed.

"Put on the Lord of the Rings and you will have invincible power!" The Dark Lord's voice was neither male nor female, full of allure that was hard to resist, and a cloud of black smoke floated in front of Gubai with a magic ring.

"Since Totem has abandoned me, why should I believe in him! Whoever gives me strength, I believe! ”

Gubai staggered to his feet and put on the ring without hesitation, and at that moment, the dark energy enveloped his body, enveloped his mind, and he felt that his body seemed to be filled with a predatory power, an evil restlessness that drove him to plunder life, the more the better.

"Give me ten thousand souls, and I will resurrect her!" The Dark Lord's form vanished, as if it had never appeared, leaving only the lingering sound.

Gu Bai lowered his head, looked at the magic ring in his hand, and no longer despaired in his heart, for the sake of his cousin Gu Li, even if he killed all the people in the entire Oss Continent, he didn't care, the only thing that could worry him was that once he let the other barbarians know that he had betrayed the totem, then he would be hunted down by all the barbarian tribes, he was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that he would not be able to resurrect his cousin Gu Li. If you can let him see that gentle smile again, even if you go to hell forever.

After Gubai returned to the tribe, he drove the dark forces to quietly kill the original wizard, and used some small means, so he naturally became a young new wizard in the tribe. From then on, on the surface, he was extremely devout to the totem, but secretly he painstakingly refined a dark altar, using the altar to control the undead killed by him, and then driving the undead to kill more lives. Just when he was full of anticipation of resurrecting his cousin, the Dark Altar was destroyed by Fifth Brother Zhang, who had strayed into the valley, and what he couldn't tolerate was that all the undead seemed to be swallowed up by an even more powerful existence.

While Gubai was meditating, a fierce Haidongqing flew into the ice cave and landed beside him, screaming at him.

"Gurung was not killed? Did the Yuzhenhou tribe and the Xiling tribe shake hands and make peace? A man with a yellow flame on his head? Damn it! ”

Gubai's black cloak instantly filled, bursts of black mist emanating from his body, and the entire ice cave was filled with terrifying anger.

It turned out that since the death of his cousin Gu Li, Gu Bai had been instigating Gu Long, the leader of Yu Zhenhou, to take revenge on the Xiling tribe, and secretly sent his domesticated Hai Dongqing to monitor the movements of the Xiling tribe. This time Giordanluo set up an ambush, Gu Bai knew in advance, but he didn't care about his cousin's family affection and told Gurung, on the contrary, he was very resentful of Gurung, it was because of Gurung's proposition that his cousin would marry into the Xiling tribe, so Gurung should die!

According to Gu Bai's plan, after Gurung's death, his next goal was to kill Giordanluo, but the sorcerer of the Xiling tribe, Babatula, made him jealous, and the other party's Gu Yun was very difficult to deal with, and he was not sure of defeat. However, by instigating a battle between the two tribes, he can harvest the spirits of those who die in battle, no matter who wins or loses.

From the information brought back by Hai Dongqing, Gubai felt the horror of the man with the yellow flame on his head, and he was able to easily defeat Babatula, and he was able to single-handedly subdue the barbarians of the two tribes, so that Gubai and Giordanro could reconcile their troops and completely disrupt his plan.

"No one can stop me, and whoever stops me will kill him!"

Gubai roared in a low voice, and his voice vibrated back and forth in the ice cave, so frightened that Hai Dongqing buried his head in his wings, like a frightened ostrich.

"Go ahead, keep an eye on the man from afar, and don't let him find out about your existence." Gu Bai cut off a bloody piece of meat from his arm, fed it to Hai Dongqing, and watched it flutter its wings and fly away.

The pain of cutting the meat and feeding the eagle seemed to give Gubai a strange pleasure, and he smiled cruelly on his face, a puff of black smoke enveloped his arm, and the wound slowly healed as before.

"Sister Li, you used to like me to play the bone flute the most, and when you come back to life in the future, I will play it to you every day."

Gubai took out an eagle flute from his bosom, which was made from the wings of an eagle, and played it like a song and weeping.

The long hair of the female corpse was blown by the wind and scattered on the decaying corpse, and Gu Bai's eyes were full of tenderness, and he did not leave the female corpse for a moment, as if he was unwilling to part with the female corpse for the rest of his life.

With the ethereal sound of the flute, the female corpse in front of Gubai seemed to come to life, and she returned to her former youth and beauty, she smiled so gently and kindly, gesticulating, calling Gubai to her side.

"Sister Li!" Gubai suddenly threw himself into the air, slammed his head on the ice coffin, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

Gubai was timid when he was a child, and he was especially afraid to sleep alone, so every night his cousin Guli, who was six years older than him, hugged him, told him stories, and lulled him to sleep.

Cousin Gu Li's favorite story is the legend of Danzhu and Totem testing their strength.

"The legendary hero of the barbarians, Danzhu, has the power to pull out the mountain, and it is said that he can pull his own hair to lift his body, and after a drunken time, Danzhu made a wild statement to test his strength with the totem, and as a result, the totem descended an avatar and easily defeated Danju. However, Danzhu did not admit defeat, and challenged the totem again and again, but failed each time, and finally the totem got bored, so he pressed Danzhu under the Makanawi Mountain, and told Danzhu when to admit defeat, and let him out. But Danju said, 'You can beat me, let me admit defeat, but I can't think of it', and after countless years, Danju turned to stone and became one with Mount Makanawi. Every full moon night, if you stand at the foot of the mountain, it is said that you can still hear the unwilling roar of Danju. ”

Gubai couldn't understand why Danzhu was so paranoid at that time, he just refused to surrender to the totem, he asked his cousin Guli, Guli smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether a man is strong or not, the important thing is that he has a hard heart, if Danzhu is willing to surrender to the totem, then he is not a legendary hero of the barbarians." ”

"But the totem is our parents, isn't it natural to listen to our parents?" Gubai blinked, a puzzled expression.

Cousin Guli put her hand on Gubai's forehead and said, "None of our barbarian heroes became heroes because they listened to their parents. You have a long road ahead, and you have to go on your own. ”

"Sister Li will always be with me, right?" Gu Bai's face was full of expectations, and he couldn't imagine how he would survive without Sister Li.

"I always have to get married, and you will marry a beautiful wife in the future, and you will forget Sister Li when the time comes."

"I will never forget Sister Li!" Gu Bai's face was flushed with anxiety, and he said with great certainty.

"Hehe, if you don't dislike Sister Li in the future, Sister Li will marry you!" Cousin Guli laughed and coaxed.

Gu Bai took it seriously, he clearly remembered that the moon that night was exceptionally bright, and the moonlight shone on his cousin Gu Li's face, and Gu Li's beauty was incomprehensible, which made his heart flutter for a while.

"Probably Danzhu also has a sweetheart, he is afraid of being looked down upon by his sweetheart, so he refuses to surrender to the totem!" More than twenty years later, Gu Bai felt that if he was Danzhu, he would never surrender to the totem, because Sister Li definitely didn't like men who gave up easily.

"Sister Li, if you come back to life, I shouldn't let you down now, right?" Gu Bai caressed his cousin Gu Li's face and asked to himself.
