Chapter 558: Heavenly Spirit Reincarnation, Borrowing Life

On a hot summer day, beside a lake in the Wu Shi Taoist Temple, Gu An was preaching to his disciples, who were listening with fascination.

Seeing that everyone was immersed in enlightenment, Gu An took out a jade flute from his arms and looked at it carefully.

"Gu An, the great ways you talk about are indeed broad and profound, and they make me think of many scenes. But I am very curious, have you ever actually seen those great ways?"

Shen Zhen opened his eyes, looked at Gu An, and asked curiously.

She was closest to Gu An and spoke softly so as not to disturb others.

Gu An glanced at Shen Zhen and said, "The avenue is everywhere. What do you see? Where do you want to go?"

Shen Zhen looked distressed and said, "I saw the starry sky and a white staircase leading to a door."

"What kind of door?"

"I can't describe it. It's very vague now that I think about it, but I'm sure it was a door."

Shen Zhen said as she recalled, she paused and continued to ask: "Gu An, do you think those scenes I saw were a kind of calculation?"

Gu An smiled at her and said, "You have to experience and judge for yourself. It's a good thing that you can think of this. Never lose your awe of the unknown. Be vigilant. The benefits always outweigh the disadvantages."

Shen Zhen nodded and said, "I will pay attention. If the avenue guides me to go somewhere, I will definitely not go."

She had heard Gu An talk about An Hao and Zhu Xi's experiences, which made her even more wary of inexplicable opportunities.

The scenes she saw when she was attaining enlightenment seemed like a lure for her to go forward, and she didn't want to be fooled.

"If you encounter something that is difficult to judge, you can also talk to me." After saying this, Gu An stood up, turned and walked towards the woods not far away.

Shen Zhen didn't want to ask any more questions, nor did she follow Gu An. After so many years, she was no longer so curious about Gu An's whereabouts.

Now she only wants to comprehend the Great Dao. In the vastness of the Great Dao, she can experience all kinds of experiences she wants. Now she wants to become a great monk like Gu An.

The other side.

Gu An walked into the woods, and in one step he arrived at another place in the human world.

This is a mortal city with bustling streets. There are no monks among the crowds of people, but there are two or three transformed monsters. However, they are not doing any evil, but performing in a loft called Xinghua Tower.

Gu An appeared on the street and did not attract the attention of people around him because no one could see him. Even a boy passed through his body without any feeling of physical collision.

Gu An's gaze fell on the street, where there was a group of beggars squatting in front of the courtyard wall. Among them was a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old with his head down. Looking closely, he had no legs and only two fingers on his right hand. It was hard to imagine what kind of torture he had experienced.

This young man is the reincarnation of Tianling God. This is the 39th reincarnation of Tianling God.

He was born in a village. When he was less than one year old, his family was attacked by robbers and his entire family was killed. He was also sold to someone else by the robbers. He wandered around and experienced many twists and turns before he ended up like this.

Gu An had no intention of intervening in the suffering of Tianling God, but he would go to see Tianling God in every life.

It was not to laugh at the God of Heaven, but to help him recover some of his past life memories when he was about to die, so that he could feel the gap between gods and mortals.

Speaking of which, there is something very strange.

Gu An did not deliberately let the Tianling God experience a miserable life, but most of the Tianling God's reincarnations were miserable. Even if they were born happy, they were likely to die young, and at most they could only live to seventy years old in one life.

On second thought, it’s normal. It’s difficult for most mortals to live beyond the age of seventy.

On a hot summer day, the god of heaven in this life will die on a busy street. No one will care about his death until the servants of a wealthy family nearby drag his body away. Eventually his body will be thrown into the mountains and eaten by jackals.

Gu An just stood on the street and looked at the God of Heaven. People came and went, just like in a dream.

The name of the god of heaven in this life is Xiaowu. He was adopted by an old beggar. He was the fifth child raised by the old beggar, so he was called Xiaowu. The old beggar passed away at the beginning of this year. Xiaowu is currently hanging out with the eldest son, and at this moment, Xiaowu is terminally ill.

In order to get medicine, the eldest brother was being beaten by the servants of the pharmacy on another street.

This city is so prosperous. Some people are drinking and indulging themselves in pleasure, spilling the wine and meat on the table onto the ground. Some people are reciting poems and talking about love under the trees, enjoying the beauty of nature. Some people are lying on the bed, dying, with their family members fighting over money for medicine. Some people are busy like zombies, thinking not about the future but about finishing what they are doing as soon as possible.

All kinds of people were reflected in Gu An's eyes, but his expression did not change at all. He just looked at Xiao Wu quietly.

Xiaowu seemed to sense something and slowly looked up. In his eyes, the streets were bustling with traffic, and the prosperity so close to him seemed out of reach.

In a trance, he saw a figure appearing on the street, and people passing by passed through the figure, which was very strange.

He raised his hand tremblingly and rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not seeing things. There was indeed a figure that no one could see except him.

"Could it be a god..."

Xiao Wu said weakly that the two beggars next to him were sleeping and did not hear his whispers. As for the other beggars, they did not pay attention to him because everyone knew that he was going to die.

Gu An was surprised that Xiao Wu could actually see him.

He didn't mean for Xiaowu to see it.

After thinking about it, Gu An's mind moved, making his state become deeper, and he disappeared from Xiao Wu's sight in an instant.

When Xiao Wu saw him disappear, he subconsciously looked in other directions, but he couldn't see Gu An.

"It turned out to be an illusion. I was wondering how someone like me could possibly meet a fairy..."

Xiaowu lowered his head again and continued to endure the pain.

It was not until dusk that a beggar came tremblingly. He was Xiaowu's older brother, whose name was Lao Da.

He squatted in front of Xiaowu and placed the blood-stained herb bag on the ground. He shook Xiaowu, but Xiaowu did not respond.

The eldest brother's eyes were wide open, bloodshot, and his right hand trembled as he looked at Xiaowu's nose. Soon, he was frightened. Instead of pushing Xiaowu away, he picked Xiaowu up on his back and left with the bag of herbs.

Next, the eldest brother carried Xiaowu on his back and went to all the pharmacies in the city, but no one was willing to treat Xiaowu.

In despair, he gritted his teeth and walked out of the city with Xiaowu on his back.

It was dark at night. After leaving the city, the boss heard the noise behind him getting farther and farther away. He did not look back and moved forward unswervingly.

The eldest brother carried Xiaowu on his back and walked aimlessly. He didn't know where to go, but he just didn't want to give up.

He was not awakened until he heard a wolf howl, but now he was lost.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaowu. Big brother will definitely save you, definitely..."

The boss whispered to himself, trying to cheer himself up.

There has always been a legend among the people that there is an immortal in the deep mountains. The human doctor was unwilling to save his brother, so he had to go after the immortal.

"Hehe, he's already dead, where do you want to carry him?"

"What a brotherly love."

"Or, we can save him, but you need to give something."

Three female voices were heard, charming and inspiring, but they seemed eerie and scary in the dark night.

The eldest brother was afraid, and his dirty face was full of fear. He swallowed and asked, "What can I pay to save my brother?"

Is it a monster?

They don't sound like immortals.

The boss thought so in his mind, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew from the depths of the woods, causing the boss to subconsciously step back. He saw three white foxes appear on the tree trunks in front of him, with cunning smiles on their faces. In the dark night, their eyes were glowing green, which was very scary.

The eldest brother was so frightened that his legs were shaking.

If he really saw a monster, the fear would overwhelm his heart, but he did not abandon Xiaowu and run away.

One of the white foxes smiled sweetly and said, "Become our servant, and we will save him."

The eldest brother asked with a stiff upper lip: "Just to be a servant?"

"You will be a servant for your whole life, until you die of old age. By the way, if your brother wants to live, he must borrow someone else's life. Before dawn, you must kill someone and bring him to us. Otherwise, once dawn comes, even if a god comes in person, he will be powerless to save the situation."

The white fox in the middle sneered, and her words made the boss's hands and feet cold.

Kill...kill people? (End of this chapter)
