Chapter 34 Very Unhappy
She set up two places as the entrance to the secret realm of the cultivation world. In addition to the psychedelic forest, the other one was in the first sect.
It seems that the First Sect did not hide the secret realm privately, but made it public to the world, attracting many cultivators.
Just heard from these people... very few cultivators survive after entering the secret realm.
Because the matter of controlling monsters and the Nizoren man-eating ants was mentioned, Gu Jinli was somewhat concerned.
I couldn't help but prick up my ears and listen carefully for a while.
It doesn't matter if you don't listen to it, but once you listen to it, you will feel more and more that it is talking about Chen Chigui.
After all, the only place where Nizoren man-eating ants can appear in groups is in the desert area...
And she and the heroine just happened to have experienced this recently.
Could it really be that guy?
Shen Chigui controlled the man-eating ants?
No, she probably won't be able to do that before she gets her natal sword.
That's another reason.
"Could it really be her?"
If it was really Shen Chigui, how on earth did she do it?
By smell?
Pheromone interference?
While secretly guessing in his heart, Gu Jinli got up and left the teahouse. He went to the pawn shop and pawned some inconspicuous things in the secret realm with the bracelet and obtained some money.
She planned to bring a piece of steamed cake to her roommate when she went shopping later, as a token of her appreciation.
…
…
No one knows whether Shen Chigui is the manipulator or not.
After guessing for a while, Gu Jinli quickly gave up.
Anyway, she has already left, so she can't care whether the other party is right or not.
Therefore, Gu Jinli chose to put the matter aside, took the money she had exchanged earlier, and began to concentrate on shopping in the city.
By the time she returned to the sect again, it was already dark outside, around three quarters past midnight.
At this time, there were groups of three or four in the room, and quite a few people were sitting together in the shops.
Seeing her come in, everyone looked at her curiously.
"New here?"
Someone asked, "Why is there an extra quilt but no one? Where have you been? Why did you come back just now?"
"I went down the mountain."
The bunk bed in a room can accommodate eight people. Gu Jinli greeted them one by one but did not take out the steamed cake.
She planned to wait until she and the woman were alone together later and then give it to her to express her gratitude.
"Go down the mountain on the first day."
After muttering something silently, the man said nothing more.
Gu Jinli also returned to her bed, tidied herself up, and then lay down quietly.
To be honest, I'm not used to it.
Gu Jinli, who had never slept with so many people before, felt that something was wrong.
Because of this situation, Gu Jinli did not sleep well that night and almost kept her eyes open until dawn.
*
The job that Gu Jinli has to do is actually very simple. She is the most common sweeping monk in the sect, responsible for sweeping and cleaning a certain area.
In addition to this, she had to go to the medicinal herb plantation outside the gate at 3 p.m. in the afternoon and do two hours of insect catching and weeding work, which lasted until the evening.
Jiuyi Zong only provides two meals a day, and the workload is incredibly intense.
After the whole day, Gu Jinli felt like she was almost exhausted. She had never been so tired before.
It's exactly the same as when he was dragged by the heroine in the secret realm.
The heroine...
Thinking of Chen Chigui again, Gu Jinli frowned subtly.
Speaking of which, the heroine has already obtained her natal sword, right?
After getting the natal sword, that guy will become even more difficult to deal with.
My sneaking away should have been discovered by now.
But she has given up on the idea of conquering him. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to approach her, I think given the heroine's personality, she won't be the type of person who will chase after him.
That couldn't be better.
-
In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since Gu Jinli came to Jiuyi Sect.
During this month, she finally figured out the names and jobs of her seven roommates.
The girl next to her was called Su Hua, and the one who spoke to her for the first time was called Lin Hui.
They were all people helping out in the kitchen, or rather, except for me, the newcomer, everyone in the room was from the kitchen.
With so many people living together, friction and conflicts are inevitable, and forming cliques is normal.
Gu Jinli arrived the latest and didn't like to communicate with others. He was considered a neutral person who was not close to anyone in the whole room.
But during this period of time, she didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that she was being isolated.
Now, except for Lin Pu who could still say a few words, everyone else, including Lin Hui, had nothing to say and seemed to ignore her.
"Tomorrow we will have a test for new disciples, and the steward said we have to go and help."
"We? The location is in the psychedelic forest?"
"Yes, that's it."
"That's no wonder... But I heard that there was a time before..."
…
As soon as I returned to the dormitory that day, I heard a few roommates sitting in groups of three or four whispering.
Gu Jinli listened and heard them say that it was related to the new disciples and the psychedelic forest, but she didn't say anything more.
Psychedelic forest?
That's where I came from.
What are the new disciples supposed to do in there?
With this doubt in mind, Gu Jinli soon welcomed the next day.
The next morning, the outer sect manager suddenly came and took away a lot of people, including her.
She soon knew what to do. Simply put, the outer disciples had to complete the assessment in the psychedelic forest.
Therefore, a lot of people are needed to wait at various examination points in the Psychedelic Forest to count or help candidates complete the examinations.
The psychedelic forest is roughly divided into three levels of examination rooms: inner, middle and outer. The innermost one is naturally the most difficult and dangerous place.
Gu Jinli was assigned to the inner circle, which was also where the entrance to the secret realm was when she first came.
Therefore, she was not very averse to this place.
"There are many monsters in the circle, so be careful."
Her roommate Su Hua also came with her. When she saw that Gu Jinli chose the inner circle, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"I know."
Nodding in understanding, Gu Jinli thanked him softly.
-
When they came to the psychedelic forest from the sect, they rode on the steward's flying magic weapon, but now to get from the outer circle of the psychedelic forest to the inner circle, they need to walk on their own two legs.
"Signal if there's any danger."
"Each of you take your map and do not go beyond the restricted area."
While walking together, the elders who came to help also began to give instructions to the group of people who were helping.
The inner circle where Gu Jinli was located was the most dangerous, so naturally she received the most warnings. She lowered her eyes and looked at the map in her hand, silently memorizing the range and landmarks in her mind.
By the time it was one quarter past noon, almost everyone in Jiuyi Sect had already taken their positions and were fully prepared.
Gu Jinli came to the place where she was supposed to go on the map. Just as she hid herself, she saw a lot of people flying in the sky with swords. They should be the new disciples.
They need to hunt as many monsters as possible within a certain period of time. Monsters of different levels have different score settings. After killing the monsters, they will randomly hand them over to nearby caretakers, such as Gu Jinli, and count them together after the test is over.
So, this kind of entrance test is really boring.
It would take some time for the new disciples to reach the inner circle, so Gu Jinli could only wait boredly. He couldn't even move around freely, after all, there were formations only nearby.
These formations were specially set up as a 'safe zone' by the sect in consideration of the safety of outsiders like them, and the range was about ten meters.
This also directly led to Gu Jinli being like a caged animal, unable to leave without permission.
About an hour later, Gu Jinli, who was looking at the sky and the earth and was extremely bored, finally saw the first disciple of the sect.
She was wearing the sect's unique brown clothing and was running over breathlessly.
“I caught this.”
As soon as we met and before we even said hello, I saw the other party take out several bloody monsters from his storage bag.
Gu Jinli had no choice but to take out the "detector" given to her by the sect and start detecting and counting the monsters.
"One at the first level, three at the second level, and six at the third level, a total of twenty-five points."
Gu Jinli quickly calculated the scores corresponding to the monsters and finished the work quickly by operating the 'detector'.
Honestly speaking, doing this in the psychedelic forest is actually easier than cleaning the sect and helping out in the medicine garden, but it's a bit boring.
"That's all."
With a pursed look of disgust, the man noted down the score and left quickly.
After a while, another disciple came running from the path, shouting in a hurry: "Help me! I met a monster!"
monster?
This explanation is really strange. Did he encounter a strange-looking monster?
"What's going on? Come here first."
The formation that protected Gu Jinli could also protect the disciples. She subconsciously waved her hand and shouted at the other party to come towards her.
At the same time, she also took a step and walked towards the disciples.
But the next second, she couldn't help but stop.
"Save me! Save..."
He couldn't continue speaking before he finished his words. The panicked disciple seemed to have his throat grabbed by something invisible, and could no longer make any sound.
Breathing became difficult and his steps became disordered. The disciple fell heavily, his cheeks turned red and he looked like he was about to suffocate.
Is this the monster?
This is more than just a monster...
This scene was so familiar that there was no need to guess. Gu Jinli's face sank and he chose to reveal the man's identity.
"Shen Chigui!"
Only that person can use the ghost energy so skillfully.
With a bit of gnashing of teeth, Gu Jinli couldn't help but walk forward and leave the protective circle.
"Let her go!"
"elder sister."
Walking out from behind the disciple who was about to suffocate to death, Shen Chigui was not surprised at all that Gu Jinli recognized him at the first sight.
Or rather, she was very proud that the man recognized her at once.
"Why did you come so far away alone?"
Acting as if she knew nothing, she half complained and half coquettishly said: "You didn't even wait for me, you have such a cruel heart."
"Why should I wait for you? I don't seem to have anything to do with you..."
As soon as I saw Chen Chigui's expression, I knew that this matter would not end well.
How strange! Logically speaking, Shen Chigui's personality shouldn't be the kind of person who would pay attention to these things.
Even if I am a very useful tool, after learning that I have escaped, this person will most likely just decide to kill me the next time they meet, rather than chasing me personally.
"Sister, I am so sad when you say that!"
Without even changing his expression, the corners of Shen Chigui's lips began to rise slightly.
Her eyes were deep and meaningful.
"I'm very unhappy, sister."
