Chapter 2: Save People

When you enter the Lingjue Gate, you can see a golden-topped hall. Although it is a hundred feet away, you can still feel its magnificent momentum.

However, the white-robed soul master did not lead the man to the hall, but turned to the right.

There is a side door on the right, and there is no writing on the door. It is more than twenty feet away. People followed the white-robed soul master and saw rows of neat wooden sheds.

Each shed is filled with beds, each with snow-white sheets, pillows and quilts are placed aside, and there is a clean set of clothes and a pair of clean shoes.

The white-robed soul master walked towards the only long row of brick houses on the left, walked up the steps and turned around, looking down at everyone and said, "Each person has one bed, two rows on the right of the man and two rows on the left of the woman. Before the selection begins, you will stay here and are not allowed to leave this door. The toilet and water room are behind the shed, the water basin is under the bed, the water cup and hand towel are in the water basin, and now the meal is put on."

The five windows of the brick house opened in a sound, and each window had a palace maid in green clothes standing behind the table with a large basket filled with steaming buns.

The Soul Control Master said again: "Eat food at will, but you can't waste it, otherwise you will be punished."

After the Soul Control Master finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the courtyard gate. More than a hundred people rushed to the window, but Gu Du retreated. He was short and weak, and was afraid that he would be squeezed and trampled to death.

Anyway, the Soul Control Master said that eating food is easy, that means being full. It’s not bad for a while, and he will get it after someone has finished robbing it.

In just a while, there was no one at the window. Gu Du walked to the window and saw the palace servant putting buns into the basket. He reached out to grab two, then turned around and left the window.

He has been hungry for two days and can't eat too much, otherwise he will burst his stomach. Anyway, from now on, he can eat at least thirteen days to fill his meal, so he is not in a hurry.

Gu Du habitually hides from people. He is afraid of being beaten in the bitter wine street. Those little bullies often rob him of food. They don’t eat it, but they just rob him of it and don’t let Gu Du eat it, or simply throw it into a dirty place and let Gu Du pick it up.

After finding a wall that can sunbathe, Gu Du squatted down and took a bite of the bun. The soft taste, the overflowing fragrance, and the wet heat.

Gu Du's eyes were moist. This was meat bun, with a lot of stuffing and a lot of meat. He had never eaten such a good thing since he was a child. If this bun could last for thirteen days, it would be worth it!

"Ah...ah..."

Gu Duxun looked at the voice and saw a boy lying on his back on the ground, screaming and flipping back and forth. He was eating too much and too fast, and he was able to hold on, which would cost him his life.

The boy and the girl next to him all dodged away, leaving only the boy screaming there.

Gu Du looked at the window where the meal was put. The Qingyi Palace people were indifferent, just like the paper people in the paper shop.

Gu Du stood up, ran to the boy and said, "You have eaten too much, you will vomit it out soon."

"Ah...ah..." The boy just screamed.

Gu Du said again: "It's useless to yell. You'll spit it out soon, otherwise you will soon swell your stomach and die."

The boy said in a pissy manner: "I vomit...can't...get it out, ah...ah..."

Gu Du untied his pants and peed at the boy's face. The boy choked and smelled, and he turned his face and sprayed a piece of chyme.

Gu Du said: "Soon vomit, maybe you can save your life if you vomit it."

Above the tower, the yellow-robed soul master looked at Gu Du, and a smile seemed to appear and nothing.

After a while, a team of palace guards came in. The captain looked at the boy who kept vomiting with a cold face. It was not until he finished vomiting that he asked Gu Du: "What's going on?"

Gu Du replied: "Sir, he almost died of eating too much."

The captain asked again: "Do you know him?"

Gu Du shook his head, and the captain said with a cold face: "People who eat too much usually can't vomit, what have you done?"

Gu Du replied: "I'll pee in his mouth."

The captain said, "You have to go to the cottage when you pee. If you don't save him, he won't vomit, so you have dirty the ground and punished you for being whipped."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Take him ten whips."

Two Gong Gu's guards came over, one grabbed Gu Du's wrist and pulled his arms flat. Another Gong Gu's guard walked behind Gu Du and whipped him ten times.

When he hit the fifth whip, Gu Du couldn't stand, but he couldn't fall down even if he was carried by two Gong Wei. After the ten whip, Gong Wei let go and Gu Du lay on the ground.

The captain said: "Clean the ground before supper, otherwise you will be punished."

Gong Wei left, Gu Du was on the ground for a while before he got up. Although his back was so painful, the injury to this level was not serious.

Gu Du went to fetch water, first wiped the boy's face, and then cleaned the floor. When he finished his work, the boy also came over and asked him, "Do you know the way to select is cage fight?"

Gu Du replied: "I know."

The boy asked, "Then why do you want to save me?"

Gu Du replied: "It will take thirteen days to start. You will die today. It is worth eating less than a lot of meals."

The boy said, "If you were assigned to me in a cage, I would not show mercy to you."

Gu Du replied: "I know."

The boy said, "My name is Xianbai."

Gu Du said, "My name is Gu Du."

Xian Bai said: "If we can survive, let's be brothers."

Gu Du replied: "Okay."

The day before the night of the morning, each person had a roast chicken for dinner. Gu Du bit the bones of the two chicken legs into a sharp spike and kept it.

Early in the morning, the morning sun rose, and the white-robed soul master walked into the yard, followed by ten palace guards. The soul master began to use his fingers to point to one of them, and one palace guard would go over and take the person away. Some people who cried and didn't want to go, would be dragged away by the palace guards.

The first group of ten people were taken away, and the entire yard suddenly felt boundless fear. Almost everyone was trembling, and there were even a girl crying.

Xian Bai walked to Gu Du's bed, sat down side by side with him, and asked, "Are you scared?"

Gu Du nodded, his heart trembling.

Xian Bai said, "I think the soul master just pointed at it casually. Wait until he comes again, I will go forward, you hide behind, at least we should not be in a group."

Gu Du nodded, took out a chicken leg bone from his pocket and stuffed it into Xianbai's hand.

Xian Bai looked down at him, then looked at Gu Du with confusion.

Gu Du looked around and said softly: "As soon as you start fighting, you will pretend to be dead. Wait until the last person, use this to pierce the throat."

Xian Bai's eyes widened. Fortunately, he came to discuss with Gu Du. Otherwise, if he really wanted to join Gu Du, he would definitely die!

Above the tower, there was a smile on the corner of the yellow-robed soul master's mouth, and a boy bowed and said, "Soul Lord, the selection is about to begin."
