What was that just now...?
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Milk tea's slightly worried voice came, Shen Cheng came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Milk Tea, and smiled lightly: "I'm fine, don't worry."
"Master...you won't be angry with Milk Tea, right? After all, Milk Tea didn't listen to you this time..."
Seeing that Milk Tea's mood had become a little depressed again, Chen Cheng smiled and comforted her: "If you keep thinking like this, then I will be really angry."
"No...no!" Milk tea's expression suddenly became panic.
Standing up and brushing off the dirt on his hands, Chen Cheng flicked his finger on Milk Tea's forehead and said, "If you have any ideas, just tell me directly. Don't keep them in your heart, unless you treat me as an outsider."
“I didn’t…” Milk Tea hurriedly shook her head and subconsciously grabbed Shen Cheng’s sleeve: “The master is the person closest to me, he is Milk Tea’s whole world, and he is definitely not an outsider!”
Milk tea seemed a little excited, and the decibel level subconsciously increased a lot.
After saying that, Milk Tea's face turned red again. She slowly let go of her hand and lowered her head.
She was really afraid that Shen Cheng would think so. If that happened, she would really lose her place in this world.
"Alright, alright, don't worry. How could I possibly be mad at you? Hurry up and pick some mushrooms. It's getting dark soon."
Patting Milk Tea's little head, Shen Cheng said.
Shen Cheng was very clear that Milk Tea had always been insecure.
It is precisely because of this that Milk Tea has always been afraid of being disliked and is cautious in everything she does.
But in Shen Cheng's opinion, such behavior was a bit too restrained.
However, during this period, Milk Tea's condition has obviously improved a lot.
After comforting Milk Tea, Shen Cheng turned his head and cast his gaze deeper into the forest again, frowning slightly.
The palpitation just now... seemed to come from the heart scale in my body.
In other words, the heart scale reacted in this place.
What could this represent?
——The heart scales will guide you.
The words of the dragon head mural reappeared in Chen Cheng's mind. The dragon head mural once told Chen Cheng that when he was looking for the missing laws of dreams and the products of alien civilization that created the sky cave, Xinlin would give Chen Cheng some guidance.
In other words, perhaps these two things are hidden in this deep forest?
Putting the sack of mushrooms on the ground, Chen Cheng called out to Milk Tea and Dong Fenghua who were picking mushrooms not far away, "I'm going to take a look deeper into the forest. You guys go ahead and do your thing. I'll be back soon!"
"Do you need me to lead the way?" Dong Fenghua looked up and said, "If we go deeper, it will be easy to get lost."
Shen Cheng shook his head: "Please take care of Milk Tea, don't worry, I will be fine."
"Then Master, be careful."
"Um."
After explaining the matter, Shen Cheng trotted into the deep forest.
Further in, the density of trees did indeed increase a lot. A cool breeze blew through the trees in the forest, causing bursts of rustling sounds.
While walking in the forest, Shen Cheng kept looking around, and his heart gradually became a little confused.
Because, the palpitation just now seemed to be just a fleeting glimpse, and no matter how deep Chen Cheng went, he no longer had that feeling.
Could it be... that was just an illusion?
As soon as this thought came into his mind, Shen Cheng shook his head.
He was sure that what he had just experienced was definitely not an illusion.
However, Xinlin did not give any further guidance. How should he find the way in such a big forest?
After thinking about it, Shen Cheng took out his cell phone and planned to ask for help from the Institute of Biological Sciences.
But just as he opened the address book, Shen Cheng's fingers paused again.
After a moment, Shen Cheng put away his phone and turned back the way he came.
Because Chen Cheng at the moment is still unclear whether the Heart Scale is guiding the missing laws of dreams or the lost products of that alien civilization.
If it was the former, then it would be easy to say, but if it was the latter... the dragon head mural had told him that the truth about the sky cave should not be known to anyone.
Chen Cheng knew that the dragon head mural was afraid that humans would know the truth and try to control the power of the sky cave, but that power... was far beyond the control of humans.
This matter is definitely not a case of everyone being drunk and Shen Cheng being the only one sober. As for the matter of alien civilization, everyone is actually very clear that they cannot control this kind of power, but... after all, human hearts are unpredictable and the sea is immeasurable.
After reuniting with the two women, the group continued collecting mushrooms until it was dark and the sacks were almost full.
When they returned to the courtyard of Wudang Mountain, everyone was shocked when they saw the sack full of mushrooms.
A thin man and two women picked so many mushrooms in just half a day?
You know, at this time of year, even if all the disciples of Zhang Qingyun's lineage in Wudang Mountain went down the mountain to pick mushrooms, they might not be able to pick so many in half a day.
A disciple came over to help Shen Cheng carry the sack, but as soon as the sack was in his hand, the disciple felt as if a thousand pounds were weighing on his hand, and his face turned red and his neck became thick in an instant.
"Brothers and junior brothers, come and help me! This bag of mushrooms is heavier than rice!"
As several disciples carried the bag of mushrooms away, Zhang Qingyun came up and said to Shen Cheng and his group, "It seems that we have had a good harvest today."
Shen Cheng nodded: "Because we took Wudang's disciples into consideration, we picked a little more. This should be enough for you to eat for a while, right?"
"So that's how it is. Thank you for your hard work. These mushrooms, combined with some other side dishes, will be enough to keep us fed for a while."
Zhang Qingyun smiled and said, "I specially saved dinner for the three of you. Eat first and then rest."
…
After dinner, it was completely dark. Shen Cheng and Nai Cha said goodbye to Dong Fenghua and returned to the building.
Shen Cheng returned to his room and found it pitch black. He turned on the light and saw that the room was extremely quiet. Ye Xi and Lin Yuhui were not there. Only the book on the coffee table was still there.
I guess they all went back to their rooms...
Sighing, Chen Cheng summoned Meng Nian and asked her to change her clothes and get ready for bed, while he went to take a shower.
After washing off all the fatigue of the day, Shen Cheng changed into pajamas and walked into the bedroom. He found that the bed sheets had been changed and became brand new. He couldn't help but smile.
At this time, Mengnian had already fallen asleep, curled up in the quilt like a sleeping kitten.
Shen Cheng crawled into the quilt, yawned, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
…
A gust of cold wind blew past, causing Shen Cheng to shiver. He immediately perked up and opened his eyes.
What came into view was a dark forest.
The bright moon was hanging high in the sky, and gusts of cold wind blew by. Shen Cheng lowered his head in confusion and found that he was still in his pajamas and barefoot.
