Ren Zu was on the brink of death, fell into Luo Po Valley, and could not escape.
Gu Yue Yin Huang, to save her father, personally went to Cheng Bai Mountain, attempting to climb to the peak and obtain the only Success Gu.
As long as she made a wish to the Success Gu, Gu Yue Yin Huang could save Ren Zu.
But just as Gu Yue Yin Huang reached the foot of the mountain, she was blocked by a stone man.
It turned out that when Ren Zu's second daughter came to Cheng Bai Mountain, she disturbed the sweet dream of Love Gu.
Enraged, Love Gu awakened the stone man to interfere with Gu Yue Yin Huang.
Gu Yue Yin Huang killed the stone man and advanced to the mountainside.
But Love Gu did not leave; it appeared before Gu Yue Yin Huang and said, "Human, you disturbed my sweet dream and still dare to try to take the Success Gu. Now I will collapse the entire Cheng Bai Mountain, and among billions of stones, you can try to find the only Success Gu. Hahaha."
With that, Love Gu charged headlong into Cheng Bai Mountain.
Cheng Bai Mountain was not an ordinary peak; the entire hill was made of countless small stones piled together.
At the impact of Love Gu, Cheng Bai Mountain collapsed with a roar.
Love Gu proudly left, leaving Gu Yue Yin Huang staring at this huge pile of stones, bewildered.
How could she extract the only Success Gu from these chaotic stones?
Troubled, Gu Yue Yin Huang had no choice but to return and consult Thought Gu.
Thought Gu listened to Gu Yue Yin Huang's account and sighed: "Love Gu has always been so unreasonable. Alas, even I or my child, Wisdom Gu, are unwilling to face it."
"Now that Cheng Bai Mountain has collapsed, you have to pick up these stones yourself and distinguish the Success Gu among them. There is no other way."
Thought Gu added: "But be careful: on Cheng Bai Mountain, there are actually two Gu. One Success Gu, at the peak. One Failure Gu, crushed at the bottom. Failure is the mother of success, but it has many children; these stones are the siblings of success. When you pick up these stones, many unimaginable bad situations will occur. Here I'll tell you a trick: as long as you keep reciting 'I' in your mind, these bad situations will gradually disappear."
Hearing this, Gu Yue Yin Huang felt heavy-hearted. She asked again: "Then how do I distinguish the stones in my hand? What do Success Gu or Failure Gu look like?"
Thought Gu sighed: "They seem almost the same, but distinguishing is simple. Just hold them in your hand, and you will naturally discover their identity."
"If you want to find Success Gu, that Failure Gu is your greatest threat. You must not hold Failure Gu, otherwise you will be completely lost and in mortal danger."
Gu Yue Yin Huang nodded gratefully.
Before she left, Thought Gu warned her: "Don't tell anyone I told you this, otherwise if Love Gu comes after me, it will be trouble. In the face of exuberant and mischievous love, thought and wisdom can only retreat."
"Don't worry, I won't reveal you." Gu Yue Yin Huang agreed and returned to Cheng Bai Mountain.
Looking at the vast pile of stones before her, her heart was heavy.
Success is not easy to achieve; to succeed, one must bend down, take immense risks, and strive diligently.
Gu Yue Yin Huang took a deep breath and picked up the first stone.
This stone, ordinary as it was, trembled slightly the moment Gu Yue Yin Huang held it in her palm.
A shallow wound appeared on Gu Yue Yin Huang's hand.
This was not Success Gu, but a sibling of success, one of Failure Gu's children.
Gu Yue Yin Huang was surprised, looked at the wound on her hand, and recalled Thought Gu's words: "When you pick up these stones, many unimaginable bad situations will occur. At that moment, you must recite 'I' in your heart."
"So this is the bad situation," Gu Yue Yin Huang realized.
She silently recited: "I, I, I, I..."
As she kept reciting, the wound on her hand miraculously healed! Only a shallow scar remained.
She tossed the stone aside and picked up the second stone.
When this stone was clenched in her palm, Gu Yue Yin Huang's heart trembled, and a strong fear surged into her heart.
Gu Yue Yin Huang was so frightened that she trembled all over, nearly fleeing from this place.
But she persisted and kept reciting "I".
After a long while, she calmed down, most of the fear dispelled from her heart, and she picked up the third stone.
This stone made her feel very disheartened. She couldn't help thinking: "Among billions of stones, picking up the only Success Gu—how difficult is that? When will I ever finish?"
She could barely walk, feeling that the future was pitch black, and finding Success Gu was far too difficult.
She almost gave up, but thought of her father trapped in the Door of Life and Death.
"If I give up, who will save my father?" Gu Yue Yin Huang's heart jumped in fright. "That's bad, I almost forgot to recite 'I'."
Gu Yue Yin Huang silently recited again, trying to eliminate the despondency in her heart, then bent down to pick up another stone.
The moment the fourth stone was in her hand, Gu Yue Yin Huang was shocked to find that her nose had changed, becoming a pig's nose.
She recited "I" again to restore her nose.
It took a long time; she did her best to eliminate the pig's nose. But the bridge of her nose was still somewhat flatter than before.
So, Gu Yue Yin Huang continued picking up stones, hoping to find Success Gu among them.
