Gu Wan felt a strong murderous intent, but Gu Xing still hesitated to take action. After all, if she really died, no matter what the reason, Gu Qingsong would not let any of them go. Thinking of this, she leaned on Gu Xing's body and fell asleep peacefully.
Gu Xing looked at her clinging to him, sighed, and snorted as if in self-mockery. He should have made a decision immediately. If Gu Qingsong lost Gu Wan, he would be so heartbroken. He would even gamble his life away.
When Gu Wan woke up the next day, she saw that she was still covered with a piece of clothing. She rubbed her eyes with her hands and saw Gu Xing meditating beside her.
"Ah Xing."
Gu Xing hummed, and when he saw her wake up, he stood up and reached out to take the clothes. "The situation outside is not bad, let's hurry on."
Gu Wan nodded, walked out and crossed a stream. She squatted beside it to wash her face, then took out the food from the storage key. As an ordinary person, she needed to eat.
Gu Xing was helping her hold the bamboo pot with clean bamboo water in it.
Gu Wan ate the pastries and drank a lot of water before she felt full.
"Thank you, Xing."
Gu Xing just nodded, then suddenly frowned. He stopped Gu Wan and asked her to stand behind him. "Be careful." He stretched out his hand and held the sword in front of him.
The two people were surrounded by three wandering cultivators.
The three men looked a bit ferocious. "Oh, this girl is very beautiful. We brothers need her." One of the tall and thin bearded men said with a smile. Damn, it has been a long time since I have seen such a beautiful girl.
Gu Xing protected Gu Wan, looked up at them, and said in a cold tone, "How dare you touch the people of Quanxu Sect?"
Gu Wan analyzed the levels of the three people. The one who just spoke was already a Golden Core, but he was not sure which level he was at. Gu Xing could not beat him.
The bearded man smiled at his companions and said, "Of course we dare not offend the Quanxu Sect, but today is different. If you die in this desolate wilderness, who will know what's happening? What's more, this young lady is actually an ordinary person. She must be your lover. How come the people of the Quanxu Sect don't have any true energy?"
Gu Xing sneered, "Then give it a try."
Gu Wan was pushed aside and saw them start fighting.
The other two companions of the opponent didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. They saw Gu Xing's class and knew that Gu Xing could not beat them.
But it was not long before Gu Xing fell behind.
Gu Wan attacked quietly, and the bearded man seemed to be suddenly forced back by a burst of true energy. He knelt on one leg on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The two companions next to him were also shocked and ran over to support him.
"Boss, how could this happen?" Then he looked up at Gu Xing fiercely and rushed up immediately.
Gu Wan did not attack again in case he was discovered. Also, although it might be difficult for Gu Xing to deal with these two, he could still defeat them.
Gu Xing originally thought that he had grown in strength, but he hadn't. He tried his best to defeat the two men, but he was also injured.
Seeing the two men lying on the ground with injuries, Gu Wan quickly trotted over to Gu Xing's side and supported his arm, "Ah Xing, are you okay?"
Gu Xing put one hand on his shoulder and spat out the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Nothing, let's go."
Gu Wan held his arm, and Gu Xing also put most of his weight on Gu Wan.
The two of them arrived under a relatively quiet tree.
Gu Wan took out a lot of pills from her storage room, "Ah Xing, this pill was given to me by Uncle Li. You should eat it quickly. It can replenish your qi and blood."
Gu Xing watched her take out a bunch of pills, leaned against the tree, and curled his lips. He had been sick since he was a child and had never taken such expensive pills. Anyway, he would get better if he endured it. He also hoped that Gu Qingsong would be better to him, but he had insulted his mother and belittled himself in front of him more than once. The expectation in his heart had long been wiped out, and now there was only overwhelming hatred.
"I'm fine, just meditate and rest."
Gu Wan frowned and said, "Okay, I'll take care of you. You can meditate."
Gu Xing closed his eyes and tried his luck. This pill was indeed good. After a while, the true energy in his body was restored.
An hour later, he opened his eyes and happened to look into Gu Wan's eyes.
Gu Wan stared at Gu Xing without blinking.
"Are you okay? Are you feeling any worse?"
Gu Xing shook his head and stood up. "Nothing, let's continue on our way."
Gu Wan said "oh" and walked beside him.
Gu Xing turned his head slightly to look at her. She had just been looking at him so intently. In fact, it had been a long time since she had done that. From childhood to adulthood, every time she was injured, she would go back to the yard to apply medicine and endure the pain alone.
Gu Wan noticed something was wrong with him, "Ah Xing, what's wrong with you? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Gu Xing shook his head naturally, "No."
Gu Wan reached out and grabbed his clothes. "Did you get injured when you traveled down the mountain before? You never told me about it."
Gu Xing let her hold on to him. Her fingers were very beautiful, slender as green onions. "I'm used to it."
Gu Wan pursed her lips and looked at him, "Then you can tell me in the future. When you go down the mountain to travel again, I will go to Uncle Li and take away all his pills, and then bring them to you."
Gu Xing slowed down his pace.
Gu Wan suddenly sighed again, "If only I could practice, I could help you just now instead of just watching from the side."
Gu Xing knew that he was extremely talented. His master once said that he was very similar to Gu Qingsong. He was also a genius when he was young, but he would rather not practice than be like Gu Qingsong.
Gu Wan was a little tired from walking, panting, and her skirt was caught in the weeds. "I'm so tired."
Gu Xing stood still and bent down, "I'll carry you, it will be faster."
Gu Wan looked at him in surprise, "But you were just injured."
Gu Xing still frowned, "It's okay, come up quickly."
Gu Wan didn't hesitate any longer and lay on Gu Xing's back, "Ah Xing, if you are tired, just tell me."
Gu Xing didn't say anything else. He walked much faster with the baby on his back.
After walking for about two hours, they saw Sang Yanhua. They had entered the territory of ghost grass and were not far from the python.
But Gu Xing saw that there were no cultivators nearby. It was so strange. Did something happen? Or was it that no one had found it?
Gu Wan moved her nose and smelled a strange fragrance. Ghost grass had a faint aroma.
"Ah Xing, this is it." She half-knelt on the ground and looked at the mulberry flowers, which were blooming extremely gorgeously. "Where is Senior Brother and Lian now?"
Gu Xing took out the microphone and tried to contact them again.
"Big Brother?"
"Ah Xing?"
Qin Yang was still very surprised. "How are things over there? What about Wanwan? Is she okay?"
Gu Xing pursed his lips and hummed, "Big Brother, we are now at the place where the Sangyan flowers are blooming. It should be not far from the Ghost Grass, but we haven't seen any other cultivators."
Qin Yang has more experience. "It may be dangerous. Please pay attention. I can probably see the direction you are going. My junior brother and I will rush over quickly. You take good care of my junior sister."
Gu Xing agreed and put away the talking mirror.
Gu Wan stood nearby and looked around. "Ah Xing, here, here is a bloodstain. The Sang Yan flower is blooming too brightly. It must be human blood. I've read books on this subject. It records that when the Sang Yan flower blooms, it feeds on human blood and bones, making it extremely bright."
Gu Xing squatted down and took a closer look at the Sang Yanhua here. It was indeed unusually red. The Sang Yanhua would corrode human blood and flesh bit by bit. Perhaps the earliest batch of cultivators had already died.
"Stand aside and don't move. Remember to get the signal ready. If anything goes wrong, send a signal. The disciples of the Quanxu Sect will come over immediately if they see it."
He can only make arrangements before things happen.
Gu Wan nodded seriously, "Let's wait for Senior Brother to come. Besides, as long as we don't take the ghost grass, the python won't attack us."
Gu Xing looked at Gu Wan in surprise. She seemed to know a lot. He originally thought that she just acted like a spoiled child and ate and drank all day long.
"good."
The two men remained vigilant while waiting for Qin Yang.
As soon as Qin Yang arrived at the place, he went to Gu Wan's side first, "Are you okay? How did your skirt get torn? Are you hurt?"
Gu Wan shook her head.
In Quanxu Sect, Qin Yang is the best person to Gu Wan except Gu Qingsong. Even in this situation, he was still concerned about her skirt being torn at first sight.
"Ah Xing and I encountered some random cultivators looking for trouble. Thanks to Ah Xing for holding them off, he was injured, though."
Qin Yang frowned and went over to check his injuries, "Are you injured internally?"
"Nothing, I took the pill."
Gu Xing pointed at Sang Yanhua and showed it to Qin Yang, "There's no bloody smell here, but there must have been a big battle."
Qin Yang half-knelt down to check on Sang Yanhua, "Indeed."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a group of people rushing over.
Qin Yang's first reaction when he stood up was to reach out and pull Gu Wan behind him.
Among this group of people there are both independent cultivators and disciples of sects wearing uniform clothing.
"Quanxu Sect? Hello fellow Taoist, we are disciples of Tiansha Sect." One of the young men saluted Qin Yang.
Gu Wan stood behind the crowd and looked around. Qi Ronger? She was there too. It seemed like she had directly connected with the Tiansha Sect and was able to bring her here.
Qin Yang returned the greeting, holding his sword. "I am Qin Yang from the Quanxu Sect."
The young man was a little surprised when he heard the name, "So it's Brother Qin, my name is Chen Liang."
Chen Liang is the youngest son of the leader of the Tiansha Sect.
Qin Yang just nodded slightly, "Fellow Daoist Chen."
Other casual cultivators have already started looking for ghost grass everywhere.
Chen Liang followed Lian Guxing to get to know them one by one. He did not sense any cultivation level in Gu Wan, but he found that she was probably the only one in Quanxu Sect who could receive such protection from Qin Yang. He also heard that Gu Qingsong found the life-extending herb for her.
"Meet Junior Sister Gu."
Gu Wan thought he was a smart man, but Qi Ronger was the smartest.
"Chen Daoyou is friendly."
Gu Wan just felt that the atmosphere was getting more and more lively.
Chen Liang was a sincere man. He told Qin Yang, "Master only sent us here to travel. Let us do what we can."
Qin Yang also said, "But from the current situation, it seems that the situation is not good. Let's wait and see, and protect ourselves when necessary."
Chen Liang nodded.
It was already evening, and everyone had started to clean up their places to rest.
Qin Yang knew that Gu Wan was coming, so he put a lot of things in his storage ring, all prepared for her.
"This is a tent. It blocks out outside noise and has a soft blanket. You're not feeling well, so you need to rest well. You can also change your clothes. I see your clothes are torn and don't suit you."
Gu Wan listened to him muttering, "Okay, Big Brother, I know everything."
Gu Xing stood aside with his sword in his arms, listening as if she had suffered a lot of injustices after spending the night with him.
Qin Yang sighed and took out the stored water. "Wash your face. I opened my eyes and didn't see you and Gu Xing. I was so worried. He never took care of you, so he definitely can't do it well."
Gu Xing couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he changed direction and stood with his sword in his arms. How could he continue to take care of her? He stayed up all night to watch over her and even carried her on his back on the way.
Gu Wan also saw Gu Xing's reaction from the corner of her eye. It was quite funny. Gu Xing was probably going to die of grievance, but what did it have to do with her? He wanted her life everywhere. Wasn't it right for him to do something for her? The original owner was originally a delicate person.
"Big Brother, Ah Xing will be angry."
Qin Yang sighed and handed her a handkerchief. "Wipe it well. He's still angry. I'll talk to him about how he took care of you later."
Sui Lian couldn't stand listening any longer as he stood aside. During the day when he was separated from Gu Wan, his ears were callused from all the talking, as the only person he kept thinking about was Gu Wan.
Chen Liang took out some dry food and handed it to Qi Ronger, "Come on, you must be hungry, eat something."
Qi Ronger was not far from them and heard everything. He had seen that girl before, but she probably didn't recognize him.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." The dry food in her hand was so hard to swallow. If she hadn't taken the opportunity to escape and met Chen Liang, she would probably have been caught by the rich man Sun. Fortunately, he was willing to take her with him.
Chen Liang was going to report back that these people were acting like this outside under the name of Tiansha Sect.
Gu Wan ate the exquisite pastries and silently looked at Qi Ronger in the flickering firelight. In her opinion, Qi Ronger was really amazing. She had walked to that position step by step and attracted young men from several major sects in the world to bow down to her. She didn't believe it at all if someone said that she had no calculations at all. In the end, she even took away the original owner's life-extending grass.
Now he has taken advantage of the situation to get involved with Chen Liang.
Gu Wan slept well all night. The quilt in the tent was soft and she changed into new clothes. In the morning, she washed her face and rinsed her mouth with the water prepared by Qin Yang.
Here, she and Qi Ronger are the only ordinary people, and the other cultivators are already accustomed to this kind of life of sleeping in the open air.
Qi Ronger sneezed. It was cold in the mountains, and she must have caught a cold last night.
Gu Wan handed her a bowl of hot porridge and said, "You can't skip breakfast in the morning. It's not good for your health."
Before Qi Ronger could react, she had already turned around and went back. Her skirt today was a new one, a pink half-length gauze skirt, very delicate and perfect for her.
She was really envious, even a little jealous.
Gu Xing, who was standing nearby, heard what Gu Wan said and almost vomited blood. Gu Wan must be so out of touch with reality that she could say such words to a down-and-out woman. She must have been used to a life of luxury.
Gu Wan sat down and continued to eat her meal. Of course, she did it on purpose. Qi Ronger would be jealous sooner or later anyway, so it might as well be more exciting and fun.
Chen Liang looked at the porridge in Qi Ronger's hand and said, "This Miss Gu is indeed the kindest person."
Qi Ronger pursed her lips, "Mr. Chen, who is she? I see that the gentlemen around her are very kind to her."
Chen Liang was also free, so he was happy to explain, "Her name is Gu Wan, and she's the daughter of Master Gu of the Tianxu Sect. Master Gu's beloved daughter died shortly after giving birth to a daughter. Master Gu doted on this daughter very much. These are all her fellow disciples, so they will naturally take good care of her. But unfortunately, she's an ordinary person like you and can't practice cultivation."
Although Qi Rong'er didn't know much about the sects of cultivation, she knew that Sun Caizhu's sister married a Pavilion Master, and yet Sun Caizhu was so arrogant. Since she was the daughter of her master, her status must be very noble. Could she be the same as herself? Both ordinary people?
Chen Liang turned to look at Qi Ronger again, "When you arrive at Tiansha Sect, you can also take a test to see if you can practice. If you can, you can protect yourself in the future."
Qi Ronger nodded happily. If she could practice, she would definitely be stronger than Gu Wan.
The monks have begun to spread out to look for traces of ghost grass.
Qin Yang and the others were not that enthusiastic and just followed slowly from behind.
Chen Liang originally wanted to say a few more words to Qin Yang. Qin Yang was extremely talented. At the age of nineteen, he was already very famous in the Tianxu Sect and was a very straightforward person. However, when he saw Qi Ronger following him, he gave up.
Gu Wan noticed the python, it was moving, and the ghost grass was also there.
Sure enough, there was a scream from the front, and everyone followed.
Qin Yang looked at Gu Wan and said, "Sui Lian, take care of Gu Wan."
Sui Lian agreed and directly pulled Gu Wan's hand, "Don't move."
Gu Wan really wanted to go and take a look. She could communicate with pythons, which she learned in a world long ago, but now she was being watched by Sui Lian and could not move at all.
"Junior brother is so strict, how did you guess I wanted to go there?"
Sui Lian took a deep breath and said, "I have eyes and can see." You didn't hide the look of watching the fun at all.
Gu Wan moved her fingers, "Junior brother, my hand hurts."
Sui Lian also looked down. Her fingers were already red, and it seemed that he hadn't used much strength. "Sorry."
In just a moment, the earth shook and the ground collapsed.
Sui Lian grabbed Gu Wan's waist and picked her up, then flew away on his sword.
The same thing happened to Qin Yang and Gu Xing. The cultivators who didn't react in time were directly smashed into the big pit. The giant python had already opened its bloody mouth, and many people died.
A faint green light appeared in the palm of Gu Wan's hand.
"Can you hear me?"
The python was quiet for a moment.
"who?"
Gu Wan was a little surprised. This python was obviously intelligent, worthy of having reached the Nascent Soul stage. "I want the ghost grass."
"What a big mouth you have! You have no spiritual energy at all, what's the use of it?"
The python looked at Gu Wan.
Qin Yang also noticed it and was very worried, so he was about to fly over on his sword.
But the python also suddenly launched an attack, although not towards Gu Wan, the monks could no longer stop it.
Gu Wan knew it had discovered her, "Can't I use it if it has no spiritual energy? I'll use it to cook."
The python seemed to be smiling. He hadn't seen such an interesting person in hundreds of years. The ghost grass was of no use to him, but he needed someone to come and play with him.
"Then what will you give me in exchange?"
Gu Wan pursed her lips and smiled, "I have a mental method here. You have been in a bottleneck period for a long time now, right? I will give it to you, it may help you break through."
Mang didn't think that the little girl was lying to him. To be able to talk to him, one must be at least a Mahayana cultivator. She could do it without any spiritual energy, which was not easy.
"good."
Gu Wan clenched his fists, sweat beading on his forehead. He was still from a lower social class, and communication was becoming somewhat difficult.
The fight below was still very brutal.
Qin Yang also has little chance of winning.
Chen Liang was helping out.
Then the python swung its tail and knocked them all into a huge cave.
Sui Lian protected Gu Wan, but his arm was still bumped and injured.
Qin Yang stood up and took a look. Although he felt sad, there was nothing he could do now.
But Chen Liang and Qi Ronger were also swept down.
Gu Wan knew that this should be the location of the ghost grass.
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome."
The python's voice came, "Don't forget what you promised me."
Gu Wan didn't lie to it, as she had the most mental skills. "But you have to sweep these two people down as well. They are not with us. If the ghost grass falls into their hands, our agreement will be invalidated."
The python laughed out loud, "I just saw you two talking and thought you were from the same group, but you humans are so interesting."
Gu Wan didn't say anything else.
Qin Yang took out a tinder, and only then could he barely see the situation in the cave. There were quite a few poisonous insects inside. He took out a pill and gave one to each person.
"Put it on your body, and poisonous insects won't dare approach."
Chen Liang quickly took it and said, "Thank you, Brother Qin."
Gu Wan was still holding Sui Lian's hand.
A few people walked forward again, and the hole they had just fallen into had been blocked.
"Follow me closely."
Sui Lian whispered to Gu Wan.
Gu Xing followed behind Gu Wan to protect her.
Chen Liang stayed behind and let Qi Ronger walk in front of him.
Walking all the way deep into the cave, we saw the giant python.
Qin Yang stood in front and drew his sword.
Gu Wan and Qi Ronger stood aside and waited.
It seemed that none of them could resist.
"Junior Brother Sui, go and help. You don't have to protect me here. I'm fine."
Sui Lian saw that the situation was stalemate, so he drew his sword and rushed forward.
Qi Ronger was originally frightened by this situation, but after hearing what Gu Wan said, she felt so happy. There was someone protecting her in this situation, even though neither she nor she could practice?
Gu Wan had already reached an agreement with the python in advance, so she was not worried that it would hurt people. Sometimes animals are more trustworthy than humans.
Qi Ronger's eyes looking at Gu Wan were hard to distinguish in this gloomy cave.
Qin Yang and the other four were soon unable to defeat the enemy and were defeated one by one. Then they smelled a smell and fainted.
Gu Wan knew that it was Python who was helping her to get the ghost grass legitimately, so she pretended to faint.
Qi Ronger saw that these people had fainted, but she was fine.
The python didn't notice that there was an ordinary person here just now, but it could only help here. After all, the little girl didn't really faint. This smell was only useful to people who practiced cultivation and would disappear quickly on its own.
Qi Rong'er watched them all fall to the ground, called out tentatively a few times, and then she saw the grass, gleaming with light. It was said that eating this grass would allow one to cultivate? So, if she took it and ate it now, would she be able to do the same as them? Although it wasn't right, she really wanted it. She didn't want to live like this anymore.
She stood up and trotted to the ghost grass, reaching out to pick it, but felt a sharp pain in her neck and lost consciousness before she could react.
Gu Wan walked over to the ghost grass. Did Qi Ronger really want to take it away? It really is true that if you don't take care of yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth.
Although he was not a good person, at least he had made an agreement with Mang first, and he would not take it for free. All of this was his own deal. Even if they fell here, it was a trap set up by Mang for his cooperation, and he would not hand it over to others.
She took down the ghost grass and put it into her ring, and took out the mental method at the same time, "I kept my promise and put the things down."
