Chapter 5 Linglang Village
After a few dry coughs, Gu Zhifei woke up in pain.
There was no part of her body that didn't hurt. She felt as if she had been cut open.
Gu Zhifei shuddered at the thought of being cut open.
She remembered that before she fainted, a monk had already broken into her residence. Could it be that Leng Nuan had discovered her and tied her up and tortured her to death?
Gu Zhifei felt that the wounds on his body were even more painful.
She struggled to see where she was, but gave up because her eyes were so swollen that she couldn't open them.
"Girl, are you awake?"
An old man's voice came to my ears.
Most of the immortal cultivators remain in their youth, and only when their cultivation stagnates or they fail to overcome the calamity will they show signs of old age. Usually, in addition to their appearance, their voices also sound young.
The voice that just sounded in her ears was probably not from a cultivator.
"Don't move. You are seriously injured. If you move, the wound will split again."
How could Gu Zhifei not move? She was the mortal enemy of the protagonist of this book, and she had to know where she was now.
Perhaps seeing Gu Zhifei's uneasiness, the old man said, "Don't worry, everything is fine now. The village doctor has bandaged your wounds. You are fine, girl."
Gu Zhifei extracted some information from the old man's ramblings: the old man's surname was Li. This was Linglang Village, not far from the Taohuawu where the female devil Yan Jue lived. When old man Li went out hunting, he happened to see the monks clearing out the bodies from Taohuawu.
Mr. Huang from the same village was hunting with Mr. Li. His son had hemoptysis and was dying. When he saw the body discarded by the monks, he had a bold idea - he wanted to arrange a ghost marriage for his son.
After the monks left, Uncle Huang dragged Uncle Li to look at the corpses, trying to find one with a decent appearance. Unexpectedly, they saw a finger moving among the dead bodies.
Gu Zhifei was dug out and brought back to the village by the two of them.
"After all, it's a matter of life and death. We can't just pretend we didn't see it." Mr. Li repeated this sentence countless times.
Gu Zhifei closed his eyes. He didn’t want to talk, and he didn’t want to talk.
The thing she cared about most had not yet been found out - where did the magic dice in her hand go?
Even though half of her body was numb, she could still feel that she had nothing in her hand. The divine dice that she had fought so hard to get were gone.
In the world she writes about, she knows best how difficult life is for ordinary people:
You have to be careful with the extremely vicious demon cultivators, be alert to the beast tide that may attack at any time, pay tribute to your sect, and even be wary of the people around you.
Without cultivation, living is a luxury.
Usually, those with talent cultivate immortality, while those without talent accept their fate, or go against the will of heaven and cultivate magic.
Yan Jue's body has no spiritual roots. If the Chaos Five Spirit Lotus falls into Leng Nuan's hands, she will probably only be able to cultivate magic. This is why Yan Jue embarked on the path of magic.
Gu Zhifei doesn't want to practice magic, she wants to live an upright life.
The magic dice disappeared, probably falling into Leng Nuan's hands according to the original plot.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Fortunately, she doesn’t know the function of the divine dice yet.
Before Leng Nuan finds the white-bearded old man and opens the magic dice, she still has a chance.
But it would be too much to say anything now. The most urgent thing is that she has to heal her injuries before making further plans.
Gu Zhifei closed his eyes, forced himself not to think too much, and fell into a deep sleep.
