Gu Jiu looked around, seeing the gloomy environment around him and listening to the knocking sounds coming from the door, he felt that his feeling at this moment might be unreliable.

Most people would probably go crazy if they stayed in a place like this for a few minutes, and it was normal for Gu Xiaoxiao to associate the things she feared the most with this kind of sensory environment.

Unlike him, Gu Xiaoxiao has a heart that has been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations.

Gu Jiu looked at the corpses in front of him and suddenly thought of an animal.

snake.

The yellow film covering the corpses looked like the liquid in a snake's stomach.

Yes, they looked like they had been swallowed by a giant python.

Moreover, snakes shed their skin.

And were the skins of these corpses also shed like snakes?

Gu Jiu remembered very clearly that Xi Yu had lived in this world for a long time. Although it was less than a thousand years, it was not far away.

If it were a human, even a saint like him would not be able to live that long.

So what exactly caused her to live so long?

Elixir of life?

Why are these bodies so similar? Could it be that Xi Yu is not a single person?

At this moment, Gu Jiu couldn't help but shudder because the knocking on the door outside suddenly became rapid.

The rhythm of the knocking sound had not changed. For a bold man like Gu Jiu, after hearing it for so long, he had already regarded it as unnecessary background music.

But the sudden change in rhythm and the sudden increase in the knocking sound still scared him.

Gu Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she almost jumped up.

Now they no longer looked at the corpses on the ground, but looked at the wooden door.

The knocking sounds coming from the wooden door became more and more rapid, as if a person was being chased by some monster and was frantically calling for help.

So the sound seemed particularly terrifying in this gloomy room.

Gu Jiu rubbed his nose and said, "Xiaoxiao, can you go open the door?"

After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Oh my god! I am a grown woman, how could I be afraid of these things."

She said this, but she was obviously lacking in confidence and walked slowly, as if there were a pair of invisible shackles around her ankles.

This is a typical case of saying you are not afraid but your body is honest.

The rapid knocks on the door were like heavy drumbeats, and each one struck Gu Xiaoxiao's heart.

Finally, Gu Xiaoxiao stood in front of the wooden door, feeling her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

She put her hand on the wooden door, and then she heard a creak and the door opened.

Chapter 41 Meeting the Real Master

Gu Xiaoxiao held the Zen stick in her right hand and pressed her left hand on the wooden door, her muscles tensed.

With a creak, Gu Xiaoxiao frowned and pushed open the wooden door, and then the rapid knocking sound stopped abruptly.

Gu Xiaoxiao thought it was the same old trick again and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the next moment she was so scared that she gasped and sat down on the ground.

There was a person standing outside the door.

The person was wearing a simple gray robe, was very thin, and had dry skin. At first glance, she looked no different from an ordinary skinny middle-aged woman.

But Gu Xiaoxiao was now completely shrouded in fear, and it was difficult for her to move.

This person is Xi Yu.

The other person had once looked at her from such a distance that she was almost scared to death. Now that the other person was right in front of her, how could she not be afraid?

Gu Jiu looked at the woman in gray robe and did not move.

From Gu Xiaoxiao's performance, he had already determined that the other party should be that person.

The owner of the stone house

Gu Jiu had to admit that even he felt a little pressured facing this person.

This is all due to the aura emanating from the other person's body, which makes people instinctively feel fear and horror.

Perhaps this is how a mouse feels when it sees a cat.

For the first time, Gu Jiu deeply felt the meaning of the word "natural enemy".

The Xi Yu in front of me really has the smell of a natural enemy of mankind.

She just stood there, not saying a word, without any sign of life.

But just standing there gives people a huge pressure.

At this moment, Gu Jiu finally associated it with the corpse on the ground.

Before, Gu Xiaoxiao thought that the corpse on the ground looked like Xi Yu. He once thought it was an illusion caused by Gu Xiaoxiao being too frightened, but now it seems that they are really too similar.

It looks like the same thing even without the skin.

If these corpses are all Xi Yu, then who is the Xi Yu in front of us?

Could it be that Xi Yu is really a multiple baby?

The gray figure had been standing outside the door, half of his body hidden in the darkness under the flickering firelight.

The reason why Gu Jiu didn't move was because the other party didn't move either.

The duel between masters often depends on a single thought.

Before, Gu Xiaoxiao said that Xi Yu was more terrifying than that wild man, but he didn’t quite believe it. Now he believes it.

Facing the huge wild man, even without Liu Wan, Gu Jiu believed that he could handle it with ease.

However, the strange saint in front of him, who had lived for more than seven hundred years, was an existence whose depth he could not understand for a moment.

If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either. This is a state of balance.

As long as any party moves, this balance will be broken, and no one can predict what problems will arise.

After all, Gu Jiu has to consider Gu Xiaoxiao's safety.

He was still a little careless, thinking that the knocking sound was a prank of this strange underground space like before, but he didn't expect to meet the real culprit.

From beginning to end, he didn't even sense the other party's existence.

Even now.

Xi Yu stood there. In Gu Jiu's perception, there was no trace of life in him. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a piece of stone.

Without aura, there is naturally no way to judge the opponent's strength. This is the real reason why he has not moved yet.

Gu Xiaoxiao lay on the ground, the mountain-like fear hitting her face, paralyzing her limbs and making her feel as if she was suffocating.

At that moment, she felt as if the blood in her body had solidified, without a trace of vitality.

It was not until a ray of Vairocana's energy began to flow through her body that Gu Xiaoxiao felt the blood flowing and her body slowly regained consciousness.

She took the opportunity to crawl to Gu Jiu's side, then stood up while holding Gu Jiu's thighs, still gasping for breath.

From beginning to end, Xi Yu did not move, like a tree that had taken root in the ground.

Given her thinness, it would be more accurate to say that she resembled a bamboo plant that had taken root in the ground.

When thinking of bamboo, Gu Jiu naturally did not think of the two flowers blooming, but the huge "bamboo" in Niujiao Village that he had burned.

Just when Gu Jiu and Gu Xiaoxiao focused all their attention on Xi Yu, the five skinless corpses stood up silently.

They opened their rather scary grey eyes and looked at Gu Jiu and Gu Xiaoxiao not far away, as if they were looking at two pieces of meat.

Two pieces of meat for them to enjoy.

They want to eat people, even if they are corpses.

At this moment, the Zen stick in Gu Xiaoxiao's hand made a tinkling sound, as if it was a warning.

The next moment, Gu Jiu swung his left hand, and a sleeve of green dragon rolled out and rolled towards the five corpses that suddenly stood up.

Almost at the same time, Xi Yu outside the door moved.

The rolling green sword energy wrapped around the five corpses like a python, and the soil on the ground was rolled into powder with an astonishing sound.

In just a moment, countless deep sword marks appeared on the bodies of the five corpses, as if they would shatter into pieces at any time, and the same was true of the walls behind them.

When Gu Jiu took action, there was naturally an unpredictable aura.

But at this time, Xi Yu came.

In Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes, the other party only took one step, but came in front of her, as if the distance between them did not exist at all.

Before she could even throw out the Zen stick in her hand, Xi Yu's wide sleeves had already rolled up towards her.

The sleeves rolled over like a cloud, looking very soft, but with a momentum that enveloped the heaven and earth.

Gu Xiaoxiao felt as if she was completely trapped in darkness and couldn't move.

It was not until she heard a hissing sound and a crack appeared in the darkness, leaking out a little light, that she regained her sight.

Xi Yu took a step back, and a tear appeared on his sleeve. Gu Jiu stood in front of Gu Xiaoxiao, like a deep sea.

Xi Yu looked at Gu Jiu, his gray eyes were still dull, like two stones, but they had a shocking effect on the soul.

Gu Jiu, on the other hand, kept holding the sword in his right hand, looking calm and composed.

In the corner of Gu Jiu's eyes, the corpses were covered with cracks and leaning against the wall, as if they would be shattered into pieces by a gust of wind.

But they still stand, without breaking into pieces.

This was something Gu Jiu had not expected. He thought that with such a blow, these corpses would become Indian pancakes.

It can be seen that the toughness of these corpses is much stronger than he expected.

Just as Gu Jiu glanced at the corpses, the white candles suddenly went out.

Gu Jiu, who has sword eyes, can naturally see things in the dark, but the change of light and shadow in this instant still caused him to be temporarily blinded.

However, there was still no flaw on Gu Jiu's body, so even if Xi Yu attacked now, there would be no problem.

Seeing everything go dark before his eyes, Gu Xiaoxiao was so scared that her whole body trembled, and the Zen stick in her hand suddenly emitted a golden light.

Before the ball of golden light illuminated the surroundings, Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt the ground beneath her feet go soft.

Yes, it was soft. The originally hard stone brick floor became as soft as mud.

"elder brother!"

As soon as Gu Xiaoxiao said this word, she fell down.

(PS: I'm going to Hangzhou to attend the pigeon conference. I'll try to update continuously in the next three days. Humph, I'm so stubborn.)

Chapter 42 The Man in the Mirror

In the blink of an eye, Gu Jiu's eyes had adapted to the dim environment.

But in the blink of an eye, Xi Yu, who was standing in front of him, disappeared, as if she had vanished out of thin air.

What Gu Jiu is most worried about now is Xi Yu's ability to hide his whereabouts.

After arriving here, there seemed to be some problems with his perception ability. He could not sense either the knocking sound on the door or Xi Yu who suddenly appeared at the door.

This is a very strange thing, but it happened.

Judging from Xi Yu's attack just now, he was very strong. Whether in terms of speed or technique, he was only slightly inferior to him.

Coupled with the strange atmosphere here, the corpses that he did not chop into pieces directly made Gu Jiu feel a little tricky.

He looked around but still found no trace of Xi Yu.

"elder brother!"

In the blink of an eye, Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly let out a scream.

Gu Jiu turned around immediately and found that half of Gu Xiaoxiao's body had sunk into the ground, as if she had encountered a swamp.

At this moment, Gu Jiu stepped on the ground and sword energy spread out.
