I am at the highest level, living a life of eating and waiting to die in the fairy world of supernat

Widow Zhao shook her head and said, "We can't die, especially the two of you. Only if we're alive can there be hope."

This uninformed widow was obsessed with something as illusory as "hope".

If the other party had not often expressed such beliefs, Li Mei and Li Luo would probably have given up long ago.

But does hope really exist?

Li Mei and Li Luo had empty, hungry eyes.

Chapter 68: Jiu, I’m hungry!

It was already dusk two days later when Gu Jiu arrived at Linshui Town with the Topaz Star Boat.

He asked several of his younger sisters to stay on the boat, and he jumped off the boat and walked towards the town.

From the outside, it seems that Linshui Town has not been affected by any external forces, at least the buildings are relatively intact.

When Gu Jiu walked into the town, he found that there were still people walking around in the town, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that the town is saved.

But he soon discovered that something was wrong. All the townspeople were looking at him strangely, as if they were looking at a monster.

"Is there anything wrong with being good-looking?" Gu Jiu asked a little confused.

He knew that his appearance would easily attract onlookers, but the looks from these townspeople were really too strange.

After a while, more and more people gathered on the street.

Gu Jiu couldn't help but feel that he was a piece of rotten meat, attracting many flies.

At this point, he was certain that there was something wrong with these townspeople, but he hadn't found anything strange yet.

There is no evil aura or stench of corpses about these townspeople, so it would be a bit of a stretch to say that they are ghosts.

But when you see their eyes you won't think so.

If Gu Jiu had not been through many battles and had not been frightened since he was a child, he would have been trembling with fear.

The looks in these people's eyes were like those of an aspiring butcher looking at a pig to be slaughtered, wondering how to cut the pig into a more perfect shape.

As more and more townspeople with strange expressions appeared, Gu Jiu suddenly stopped.

He turned around and looked at everyone, saying, "What do you want to do? I'm Gu Jiu, does anyone remember me?"

After hearing these words, confusion flashed across the eyes of the townspeople at first, but was soon replaced by a hungry and fanatical emotion.

Gu Jiu frowned and stretched out his hand. The air suddenly twisted and a transparent arm appeared, grabbing the busty girl next to him.

The girl was suddenly caught, and a hint of panic appeared on her face, but this panic quickly disappeared, replaced by a creepy sneer.

No matter how beautiful a girl is, she will look ugly once she shows this expression.

So Gu Jiu waved his hand and threw her to the ground.

Gu Jiu knew that something happened in Linshui Town.

The townspeople here must have been possessed. Although they cannot be determined to be ghosts, they are probably almost like ghosts.

By this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and the townspeople kept looking at him coldly, their eyes becoming increasingly hungry, like starving wolves.

At this moment, a little ghost suddenly rushed out from behind and pounced directly on Gu Jiu.

Along with the little ghost came a sharp scimitar.

There was only a crisp clang sound, and the scimitar cut into Gu Jiu's neck, but it couldn't go in at all.

Gu Jiu turned his head and looked at the head-cutting braided kid, muttering, "Naughty kid, he's worth burning."

So he snapped his fingers, a stream of fire shot out from his fingertips, and then the whole little ghost was set on fire.

The little ghost let out a shrill scream and was about to run when he was grabbed by Gu Jiu.

The flames rushed into the little ghost's body, making a crackling sound, which was very fierce.

Gu Jiu was originally reluctant to take action. After all, the people here were once his neighbors and still maintained their human bodies.

But this kid is different. He actually wants to cut off his head. He can only blame himself for bringing it to his door.

The blazing flames reflected Gu Jiu's face and the townspeople.

It was only at this time that Gu Jiu realized that there was no trace of these townspeople.

So this is where the problem lies. They have all become ghosts.

Gu Jiu threw the almost burnt little ghost to the ground and continued walking forward.

This time, no townspeople followed.

They stood there, looking at Gu Jiu coldly, without a shadow.

Gu Jiu knew that the town was doomed, but he still hoped there were survivors, so he shouted as he walked, "Is anyone still alive?"

His voice was not loud, but it echoed clearly throughout the town.

Inside the Gu residence, the three women were nearly paralyzed.

The long-term hunger made them so weak that the scenery before their eyes was all blurred.

At this time, Li Luo suddenly said hoarsely: "Did you hear anyone talking?"

Li Mei shook her head and said with difficulty, "Perhaps when people are about to die, they will always have hallucinations and visions."

From the moment they entered the Gu Mansion, the three of them knew that no one outside was talking except each other.

They are like living on a small island, surrounded by sea water, which is full of sharks that can swallow them at any time.

"Is anyone still alive?"

When the voice came again, Widow Zhao gasped and said, "There is someone, there really is someone."

But now the three of them even had difficulty speaking, so how could they respond to each other?

The sound repeated several times and then disappeared.

The eyes of the three women were filled with unwillingness and despair. They had waited for so long and suffered so much just for that illusory hope. Now that hope had come, it was about to pass them by.

can not be like this!

can not be like this!

The three women struggled and fell off the wicker chairs almost at the same time, then crawled towards the door with all their strength.

They climbed very slowly, as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs, and every inch of movement consumed all their strength, but they still climbed.

As they crawled, the three of them shouted hoarsely, "We are here," but their voices were as thin as a mosquito's.

Just when the three of them had climbed halfway, the bolt of the door was suddenly lifted out of thin air, and the door creaked open.

Gu Jiu held the burning Haoyu Sword in his hand and was shocked when he saw the three women lying on the ground with disheveled hair and ferocious expressions.

MMP, my house is haunted too, and it’s a weird one.

But he soon discovered something was wrong because the three women had shadows.

Gu Jiu immediately stepped forward and asked, "Are you still alive?"

Li Mei looked at this handsome face and burst into tears. She cried, "Jiu, I am your sister Li Mei."

The three of them were so hungry that they were almost skin and bones, so Gu Jiu didn't recognize them at all.

Upon closer inspection, their eyebrows and eyes really look like those of the two sisters Li Mei and Li Luo.

Just as he was about to save someone, Li Luo beside him cried out, "Jiu, I'm hungry."

……

"Eat slowly, eat slowly..." Gu Jiu looked at the three women who were eating voraciously in front of him and reminded them carefully.

He first injected true energy into the three people to save their lives, and then took out the food he brought.

If Gu Jiu hadn't retracted his hand quickly, his fingers would probably have been bitten by the other party.

Looking at the three people's skinny appearance, Gu Jiu's heart tightened, thinking it was too miserable.

He can still vaguely remember the scene of going to Yanyang City with the two sisters. He was lying in the coffin, and the three little sisters were chirping, as cheerful as larks. It was the best lullaby at that time.

And now, if the other party hadn't uttered those words, he would have been lucky not to treat the other party as a ghost.

Well, this is what it's like at the end of the world.

Gu Jiu felt that he should hurry up and save as many people as possible.

Chapter 69 Buddha?

Mount Sumeru is shrouded in clouds and mist.

This is the western frontier of the Tang Dynasty, once the most developed area of ​​Buddhism, and Xumi also means "king of all mountains" in Buddhist scriptures.

According to legend, a great Buddha fell here and his body turned into this mountain. This mountain is indeed mysterious, with ancient pines and wild grass everywhere, but rarely any soil.

This mountain is made up of huge rocks, which are difficult to destroy with swords and even difficult to leave some marks on, but countless plants and flowers can grow among them.

It is common here for grass to grow and bloom among the rocks.

But things in the world change, and nothing can last forever. Even immortals and Buddhas will fall, let alone in this mortal world where incense is worshipped.

With the prevalence of female supremacy, not only are the temples on Mount Xumi decreasing day by day, but even many nunneries have been replaced by Taoist temples.

These days, ghosts are everywhere and hundreds of demons roam the nights. Even places that were once popular with people are inevitably declining.

There used to be nearly a hundred Taoist temples of all sizes in the mountains, but now only a few are still occupied, making it look quite deserted.

The Taoist temple with ancient pines, clouds and mist that seemed quite fairy-like in the past seems a bit scary in today's world.

At this time, in a Taoist temple called "Qiu Shui Temple" deep in the mountains, a young Taoist nun rushed into the temple.

Inside the temple, two old ladies were sitting on chairs, wearing clean Taoist robes. If they were not so pale and thin, they would have had some immortal air.

One of the two men has difficulty walking due to mobility issues, and the other is blind, otherwise they would not have stayed at this Taoist temple.

These two old Taoist nuns originally had more than ten disciples, but except for the innocent and kind little disciple in front of them, the rest all ran away.

When disaster strikes, even husband and wife will be separated, let alone master and disciple.

The reason these two old Taoist nuns who have difficulty moving around are still alive is because of this young disciple who goes out to find food every day.

Nowadays, there are few people in Mount Xumi, but there are still many fish in the streams.

This young Taoist nun barely supported the three of them by going to the mountains to catch fish every day.

But today, the little nun who was supposed to bring back fish came back empty-handed.

The lame old nun, seeing this, asked in surprise, "Xiao Lin'er, why didn't you catch anything today?"

The little nun looked a little apprehensive and said, "Master, I saw a strange man today and I don't dare to go forward."

After hearing these words, the two old nuns felt a pang in their hearts.

You have to know that these days are not peaceful and are often haunted. The entire Mount Xumi has almost become an uninhabited mountain. How could they meet in the end?

The lame old Taoist nun couldn't help but look at the majestic statue of the immortal in the hall and said calmly, "What's so strange about that person?"

The young nun named "Xiao Lin'er" swallowed and said, "Master, do you still remember the Buddha's head we dug out from the yard a few years ago? Yes, that's the Buddha's head, right?"

The two old Taoist nuns frowned and asked in confusion, "Why is it related to the Buddha's head again?"

A few years ago, a Buddha head was accidentally dug out while burying wine in the backyard of a Taoist temple. The disciples of Qiu Shui Temple did not know what it was, after all, Buddhist temples had disappeared here for a long time.

However, the two old Taoist nuns were knowledgeable and recognized it as a Buddha head at a glance.

When they were young, they read many ancient books, including some about Buddha.

Although the temples on Mount Xumi have disappeared for many years, Buddhism once flourished here, so many traces are still left, such as ancient books unearthed from some abandoned buildings.

The two old nuns learned some of the history of Buddhism from ancient books, and explained some of it to these disciples, so Xiao Lin'er still had some impression of it.

Little Lin'er was very nervous and said, "Just now when I went to the forest to catch fish, I thought I saw the Buddha."

"What? Xiao Lin'er, don't say that." The blind old nun said immediately.

This is a Taoist temple, and they believe in the Taoist Tianzun, but after being influenced by the ancient books in their childhood, they also have a sense of awe for Buddha.

After all, it was once a giant in this world.

Now that the Lord of Heaven has closed his eyes and ghosts are running rampant, how come the Buddha, who has long been extinct, has reappeared in the world?
