Only the streetlights emitted a dim glow in the dimly lit streets, which seemed unusually lonely in this cold winter, and the howling wind blew the branches of the trees and made a harsh sound, making the whole street sound particularly terrifying.

At the end of the street is a dilapidated warehouse with countless discarded wooden crates piled up in which all kinds of waste are placed. Next to the scraps stood five or six begging children, dressed in tattered clothes, standing barefoot in the filthy snow, shivering with cold, and mouths of leftover pieces of bread, who for some reason did not leave.

They seemed to be waiting for something.

Not far away walked an old woman, with her back bent, with a bag of things in her hand, and a roll of blanket on her back, her face was full of wrinkles, but she looked kind, and she smiled lovingly at the beggars, and said, "Do you want to come and have something to eat?" ”

The children looked at the old woman's hand with a look of astonishment, their eyes flashing with excitement, their lips trembling, but they could not make any sound, and finally a boy could not help it, and ran towards the old woman, who snatched the bag from the old woman's hand, and then squatted on the cold ground and devoured it.

"Eat slowly, poor children!" The old woman didn't care that the child in front of her snatched something from her hand, but said with a smile on her face. For a moment, the children were immersed in the delicious food, and they did not pay any attention to the old woman in front of them, and the more they ate, the more happy they became.

One of the children said, "Thank you, grandmother." ”

"Kids, that's good!" The old woman touched the child's head in front of her, and a smile of relief appeared in her eyes.

The old woman slowly put down the blanket behind her back, and limped away with staggering steps, when suddenly her face changed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The old woman staggered backwards and fell to the floor, her face showing a painful expression, and the little children behind her were frightened and hurried to get up from the ground. He hugged the old woman and cried, "What's wrong with you, old woman?" ”

"Grandma is old, it's time to leave this world, don't cry, this is the birth, old age, sickness and death that everyone has to experience, it's a pity that it's ......." The old woman's voice grew weaker, her eyelids drooped, and her eyes were closed.

"Grandma, don't sleep, grandma, wake up."

The group of children kept calling, but there was no response from the old woman, only the sound of the children sobbing incessantly.

In the Gu world, in a brightly lit room in Baihualou, a small town in Zhongzhou, there is a girl in a red tulle dress lying on a wooden bed, her figure is concave and convex, her skin is snowy, and she can be broken by blowing. Her legs were slender and fair, like white lotus, and her silver hair was casually draped, covering her face, leaving only a delicate and charming face, which was unforgettable at a glance, and her eyelashes were long and thick, like a black wing, trembling slightly, showing the uneasiness of the owner at the moment.

"Doctor, you're the most famous healing Gu master here, can't you even save her?" An obese woman in front of the hospital bed asked anxiously.

An old man in a young green robe was sitting on a wooden chair, his eyes closed, twisting the leaves in his hands, and sighing: "She has Gu poison, and I didn't save her with the living leaves." ”

"Then what should I do, Meng Xiyao is the number one in Baihualou, who is so ruthless, she is only 14 years old! After raising her for fourteen years, how can you say that it is gone, and it is gone. The fat woman in front of her is the old bustard of Baihualou, she is very anxious at the moment, all the major dignitaries, big businessmen, high-ranking officials and dignitaries, all want to take this woman as their own, fortunately, there is a Gu master behind Baihualou, they didn't dare to mess around, but just yesterday their top card somehow lay down on the bed, convulsions, no breath, which made her very panicked, she watched Meng Xiyao grow up, she naturally knew what kind of character she was, if she died, then Baihualou's livelihood would be in jeopardy.

"Well, where am I? Netherworld? The woman on the bed suddenly spoke, her voice was hoarse, with a hint of illusion, but it was a real voice, she opened her eyes, looked at the familiar environment in front of her, and there was an indescribable taste in her heart.

"Ah Meng, you're finally awake! You've been in a coma for three days, and you're worried about me! The old bustard threw himself on the side of the bed, grabbed Meng Xiyao's arm and said excitedly.

The Gu master beside him saw her wake up and said in disbelief: "Medical miracle, this is a medical miracle!" ”

Meng Xiyao didn't look at her, but her eyes were glazed, and she muttered to herself: "I'm still alive, but this body is no longer mine, is this the so-called crossing" She said and looked at her slender white legs, and a lot of pictures appeared in her mind, the owner of this body, abandoned by her parents when she was young, and was picked up by the crow on the street as a goddaughter, and cultivated poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and other talents since she was a child.

"What are you muttering about? Next year, let's go to the opening ceremony, if we can test what qualifications, we can also turn over! The old bustard looked at Meng Xiyao and kept talking to herself, and said with some worry in her heart.

"The Enlightenment Ceremony? This is ......" Meng Xiyao was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"Ameng, are you amnesia? Can you forget such an important thing? Everyone has the opportunity to become a Gu master, the reason why it is called enlightenment, everyone has only one trick in their life, and the end point of Gu master's cultivation is inseparable from qualifications...... Forget it, I'll talk about it when the time comes. The bustard shook her head, she didn't want to continue to dwell on this matter. She took Meng Xiyao's hand and said, "Ah Meng, are you hungry?" Let me go to the kitchen and cook some meals. “

Meng Xiyao didn't answer her, she thought to herself that she had come to a world similar to cultivating immortals, but it was different from cultivating immortals, it seemed that she relied on the use of Gu worms, she was lonely and alone in her last life, and she didn't feel lonely, because there were too many lives and too many people in this world, but when she came here, she was the only one, no relatives, no lovers, only loneliness. This feeling of loneliness gave rise to a deep sadness in her heart, an urge to find a support.

"Mama Li, you have taken the trouble to spend so much money to let me enter the enlightenment ceremony, it is really hard work, this kindness will always be remembered by my dream Xiyao, and your old man should also take care of his health!" Meng Xiyao secretly made up her mind. A faint smile appeared on her face.

However, in the memory of this body, in this world, the Gu Master wants to be a master here, the Gu Immortal is directly called a god, and becoming a Gu Master seems to be the best way to survive, but I am just a weak woman, how can He De live longer in this world of the weak and the strong.

She silently said in her heart: "I will use the knowledge I have to learn everything." Only in this way can we change the world. I want to live! Live better than anyone else. “

"A-Yao, you woke up, I heard that you were poisoned, but worry me" At this time, a violent coughing sound, Meng Xiyao turned her head to look over, and saw a woman about twenty-five or sixteen years old coughing, she was Yuan An, who was the fifth in Baihualou.
