When snow fell in Jiuyan City, Mount Everest where the Eternal Life Temple was located had already been covered in ice and snow. There were countless tents for people to live in on the snow in the mountains. People cut down trees for heating, and the black smoke from the burning wood almost completely covered Mount Everest.
The monks in the temple still ring the morning bells and evening drums, kneel before the Buddha and practice their own Buddhist practices. Everything seems to be no different from the past.
Gu Xinglang stood in the Gui'e Forest at the back mountain, his eyes were bloodshot, a bloody totem appeared on his pale face, blood dripped from Gu Sanshao's fingertips onto the ground, and broken corpses were piled up at his feet.
Those who were still alive were all people who could stop children from crying, but now they were all silent. They didn't dare to escape, nor did they dare to fight for their lives. They didn't want to die, but they didn't know where the way to survive was.
Gu Xinglang raised his hand and sucked the blood on it. Now he was forced by Mo Wen to drink blood instead of water, just like a beast that had tasted human flesh. Now Young Master Gu knew that human blood was nectar to him.
Seeing Gu Xinglang sucking blood, the former bandit finally broke down mentally, screamed wildly, and ran away. This monster suddenly broke into the forest just now, killing everyone it saw. The result of their resistance and self-protection was to become the body pieces under the feet of the monster.
Something was pressing on my head.
The bandit looked up and met a pair of bloodshot eyes.
Gu Xinglang looked carefully at the person whose head he was holding down. There were criminal marks of six countries on this person's body, which meant that he had been sentenced to death by the officials of the six countries, but was finally captured by the Eternal Life Temple and taken to the Gui'e Forest.
The notorious bandit wanted to swing the two spears in his hands, but how could he be crushed to death like a bug?
Gu Xinglang raised his hand.
The bandit felt a lightness on his head.
Gu Xinglang's hand dropped down again.
The notorious bandit fell on the snow, his head and neck bent to the left. He was indeed like a bug, with his neck broken by Gu Xinglang.
The remaining people fled in all directions, but none of them could escape the death today.
After killing everyone in the open space in the forest, Gu Xinglang walked deeper into the forest. He walked through all the caves in the back mountain and saw the medicine man and the humanoid monster struggling and howling in the deep pool, but he did not see the people captured by the Temple of Eternal Life. On the map drawn by Yiye, there was another cave in the Gui'e Forest. Gu Xinglang walked straight to this cave. If he could not find anyone there, he could be sure that these people were no longer alive.
Mo Wen and Gui Ning were sitting in a spacious Buddhist hall when a monk came hurriedly to report that Gu Xinglang had entered the Gui'e Forest.
"Murder?" Mo Wen asked.
The attendant monk nodded.
"Then let him kill him," Mo Wen turned the beads in his hand. The bodhi tree beads had been rubbed by his fingers until they were as smooth as jade.
“But the people in the forest…” The attendant monk bit his lip and said nothing more. Would they just let Gu Xinglang kill them at will?
Mo Wen waved to the attending monk.
The attending monk had no choice but to retreat.
Mo Wen whispered to Gui Ning, "The more he kills, the less he remembers what he was like as a human. Po Jun doesn't need to be a human."
Guining's hand holding the celadon teacup was trembling slightly.
Mo Wen looked at Gui Ning's hand and said, "I will take Your Majesty to Gui Evil Forest to have a look."
Gui Ning shook his head instinctively. He had already vomited once the last time he saw the medicine man. Was he going to see a pile of broken bodies? Gui Ning felt sick again just thinking about it.
Mo Wen asked, "Your Majesty is so kind-hearted. When the two armies come to a duel, how will Your Majesty lead the horse to the battlefront?"
Gui Ning stood up slowly, looked at his hands, and then remembered to put down the teacup.
Mo Wen walked towards the Buddhist temple.
Gui Ning looked up at the white jade Guanyin on the shrine. Guanyin had kind eyes and a compassionate smile. Gui Ning patted his chest. He couldn't be afraid at this moment. If he was afraid, Mo Wen would win.
Mo Wen was outside the Buddhist temple at this time. He beckoned a monk attendant over and whispered a few words to him.
The attending monk nodded his head, accepted the order, turned around and left quickly.
Gu Xinglang had walked through the Gui'e Forest, but the cave that Yiye had marked on the map was nowhere to be found. Returning to the place where he had killed so many people, Gu Xinglang stood in a daze among the broken bodies. Yiye couldn't have lied to him, and he couldn't have failed to see such a huge cave. So where did the cave go?
Gui Ning followed Mo Wen into the Gui'e Forest. The scene in front of him made Gui Ning fall to the ground, covering his mouth and about to vomit.
Mo Wen just looked at Gu Xinglang quietly.
Gu Xinglang lowered his eyes and stared at Gui Ning who was kneeling on the ground.
A dozen attendant monks came over, dragging a few ragged people and pushed them in front of Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang looked at the old man who had fallen at his feet.
Mo Wen asked, "Xing Lang, how many people do you need to kill in a day now?"
Amidst the blood, Gu Xinglang struggled to distinguish the old man's facial features. This man was obviously tortured, skinny and covered with scars, but Gu Xinglang felt that this man's facial features were somewhat similar to Su Zhao's.
"Kill him," Mo Wen said to Gu Xinglang.
Guining looked up hurriedly.
Mo Wen did not shake the copper bell between his fingers, but just looked at Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang picked up the old man. He had never seen Su Ying, but this man looked like Su Zhao and looked like a prisoner. Who else could this man be but Su Ying?
"Xinglang," Mo Wen called Gu Xinglang.
Su Ying's eyes were indifferent, and he waited for death with an attitude of resignation. Even his breathing was barely audible.
Gui Ning stood up and asked Mo Wen loudly, "Master Host, who are they?"
Gui Ning's voice made Gu Xinglang look at Gui Ning quickly.
"Master Abbot," Gui Ning pretended to be flustered and asked Mo Wen, "Are there still prisoners in the Eternal Life Temple?"
Mo Wen looked at Gui Ning and smiled, saying, "Your Majesty, you'd better not make any noise at this moment."
"But," Gui Ning tried to think of something, "But, how come there are still prisoners in the Eternal Life Temple?"
Gu Xinglang threw Su Ying to the ground and walked towards Guining.
"Xinglang!" Mo Wen raised his voice and shouted at Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang stopped.
"He, he wants to kill me?" Gui Ning shouted. The young emperor's whole body was shaking. "I, I don't want to die," Gui Ning hid behind Mo Wen.
The attending monks showed mockery and contempt on their faces. Is this the new king of Xuanwu?
Gu Xinglang stopped where he was and looked down at the people on the ground. He didn't recognize any of them, but as expected, these people should be ministers, generals, and celebrities from various countries who were abducted by the Temple of Eternal Life.
"Xinglang," Mo Wen called Gu Xinglang again.
Gu Xinglang raised his head and grinned. The teeth of a person who had just drunk human blood were all red.
"Don't want to kill anyone anymore?" Mo asked.
Gui Ning was extremely anxious. What should he do? What should he do to give Gu Xinglang an excuse to kill the attendant monks here?
"Is it interesting?" At this moment, a voice came from the forest, mechanical, ruthless, and hoarse, "Monk, do you want to feed this little monster with human flesh?"
