Chapter 377
Primordial world.
After leaving Three Immortals Island, Gu Xiu changed his appearance to disguise himself, intending to go to the Chan Sect Twelve Golden Immortals' dojo to cause trouble and stir up hatred.
As a result, while passing by a large mountain on the way, he was blocked by several monsters.
The monsters blocking the road all had extraordinary strength; although they were far inferior to great monsters, they were still much stronger than ordinary monsters.
It was Gu Xiu's first time being robbed by monsters, so he asked: "What kind of monsters are you? Why block me?"
A tall monster with two horns, shaped like a bull, walked out and shouted loudly: "We are the Seven Monsters of Meishan!"
Gu Xiu was a bit surprised: "You are the Seven Monsters of Meishan? Then is this Meishan?"
In the Investiture, the Seven Monsters of Meishan were considered the strongest monsters to participate in the Investiture. Gu Xiu didn't expect to meet them here.
Seeing Gu Xiu's reaction, the Seven Monsters of Meishan became proud.
"It seems our Meishan Seven Monsters' fame has spread far enough that even a wandering cultivator like you knows it. Since that's the case, there's no need for us to waste our breath. Hand over all the treasures on your body, and we will spare you."
Gu Xiu's expression was calm, his gaze falling on the four people.
"Don't you Meishan Seven Monsters have seven people? Why are there only four of you?"
"Humph, do we need all seven of us to deal with you? Aren't you overestimating yourself?" the tall bull monster with two horns said with disdain.
According to Gu Xiu's knowledge of the Meishan Seven Monsters, this one should be Jin Dasheng, the second in the Meishan Seven Monsters, a water buffalo spirit.
Seeing that he was being robbed and Gu Xiu was still so calm, a wild boar spirit with long lips, big ears, and fangs, looking fierce and malicious, said: "Kid, our patience is limited. Hand over the treasures on your body quickly, or I'll eat you!"
This monster was Zhu Zizhen, the sixth in the Meishan Seven Monsters.
Facing the threat, Gu Xiu was indifferent, thinking that the leader of the Meishan Seven Monsters was Yuan Hong, who had many scenes in the Investiture, so he asked: "Is your leader named Yuan Hong? I wonder where he is now?"
"How dare you call my big brother by his name directly? Do you want to die?" Jin Dasheng glared, a fierce aura radiating from his body, staring fiercely at Gu Xiu.
"Second Brother, in my opinion, we should just kill him. No need to waste words with him. Look at his fine skin and tender meat; he must be delicious," said a monster with a snow-white body and an evil appearance. This was Chang Hao, the fifth in the Meishan Seven Monsters, a white snake spirit.
A monster with a white face, long beard, and two goat horns nodded in agreement.
This was Yang Xian, the seventh in the Meishan Seven Monsters, a goat spirit.
"Second Brother, in my opinion, Fifth Brother is right. Kill the kid, and the treasures on his body will be ours."
Hearing the words of Chang Hao and Yang Xian, Jin Dasheng said.
"Kid, I wanted to spare your life, but you talk too much. Since Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother decided to kill you, I can't go against their wishes. Say your last words, and we can give you a quick death!"
Seeing the four Meishan monsters revealing their fierce faces, each staring at him with malice.
Gu Xiu smiled calmly, and a Da Luo Golden Immortal pressure suddenly erupted from his body.
The four Meishan monsters felt as if they were being crushed by Mount Tai, trembling all over, knowing they had encountered a tough character.
Their legs went soft, and they knelt on the ground one after another, begging for mercy in a hurry.
Jin Dasheng said: "Immortal, we were blind and offended you. I admit I spoke loudly just now. I hope you, as a great person, will not hold a grudge against a small person and spare us."
Gu Xiu had thought the famous Meishan Seven Monsters were all tough guys who would rather die than surrender, but he didn't expect them to kneel so quickly, and he lost interest for a moment.
"I ask you, where is Yuan Hong now?"
If there was anyone among the Meishan Seven Monsters who could pique Gu Xiu's interest, it was Yuan Hong.
This guy, like Yang Jian, knew the Eight-Nine Profound Art and could change as he pleased.
Possessing the Profound Art for protection and a strong physical body, ordinary weapons and magical treasures could not hurt him at all.
Even Yang Jian himself could not take down Yuan Hong, and in the end, it was Nuwa who bestowed the Mountain and River Map of Social Prosperity to help Yang Jian capture him.
"This..." Hearing Gu Xiu's words, the four Meishan monsters looked at each other, hesitating.
Jin Dasheng raised his head and asked cautiously: "Immortal, I wonder why you are looking for our big brother?"
Gu Xiu's expression was calm as he said slowly: "You don't need to know this. Knowing too much is not good for you. You just need to tell me where Yuan Hong is currently."
Jin Dasheng pondered for a moment and said: "Immortal, my big brother was favored by an immortal of the Chan Sect, taken as a disciple, and went to practice beside that immortal. We haven't seen him for a long time either."
"Taken as a disciple by an immortal of the Chan Sect?" Gu Xiu frowned slightly: "So Yuan Hong is now a disciple of the Chan Sect?"
"Immortal, this is what Big Brother said himself; it can't be fake," Jin Dasheng guaranteed.
Gu Xiu frowned: "I wonder who he is apprenticed to?"
"This..." Jin Dasheng thought for a while: "Big Brother seemed to say it was True Person Yuding of the Chan Sect."
"Yuding?" Gu Xiu fell into thought.
"In the original destiny, Yang Jian's Eight-Nine Profound Art was taught by True Person Yuding. Currently, he snatched Yang Jian, so True Person Yuding went to take Yuan Hong as a disciple. I wonder if Yuan Hong's original Eight-Nine Profound Art has anything to do with Yuding."
Just as Gu Xiu was asking the Meishan Seven Monsters about the situation, two figures flew over Meishan.
Seeing the situation below, Puxian Zhenren mocked: "Senior Brother Manjusri, why did we come here? There is a group of fur-covered and horn-wearing guys gathered below; it's truly bad luck."
At this time, Gu Xiu had changed his appearance, and the two couldn't recognize him at all.
Manjusri glanced at the ground.
"A bunch of fur-covered and horn-wearing fellows, a mob, no need to pay attention to them."
While the two were flying, a flock of large birds happened to fly overhead.
Puxian Zhenren discovered something had fallen on his head, reached out to touch it, and found it was bird droppings, and was instantly furious: "You bastard beast!"
But the flock of birds had already flown away, so Puxian Zhenren could only curse angrily: "This beast, it's best not to fall into my hands."
Manjusri frowned: "Junior Brother, you are a Da Luo Golden Immortal, able to drive away evil and avoid disaster on your own, how could you be showered with bird droppings?"
Mentioning this, Puxian Zhenren also felt strange: "Maybe it was a moment of negligence..."
Noticing the situation above, Gu Xiu cast his gaze and saw it was Manjusri and Puxian Zhenren, and couldn't help but be a bit surprised.
He had originally wanted to go to the Twelve Golden Immortals' dojo to ambush a predestined person.
He didn't expect to meet the Chan Sect immortals here again, so he wouldn't have to run to their dojo to ambush them.
Once the thought arose in his heart, he planned to act against Manjusri and Puxian Zhenren.
The system suddenly rang.
"Ding!"
"Host accidentally met Manjusri and Puxian Zhenren, triggering an event option. Please make a choice, Host."
"Option 1: The enemy is many and I am few, choose to endure. Reward: 10,000 years of cultivation!"
"Option 2: Take the initiative to attack, find a way to pull the hatred of the two. Reward: The Heavenly Eye Heavy Pupil evolves into the Universe-Disrupting Truth-Piercing Divine Eye!" (This divine eye can not only see through all falsehoods but also reverse the universe and possess the ability to disrupt the order of heaven and earth!)
