Chapter 39 (Your heart is not pure...)
Gu Chaochao's smile was still hanging on his face, seeing so many people suddenly, his expression suddenly stiffened.
Shen Mushen was calm, and after sitting down in a serious manner, he did not forget to greet her: "Master, come here."
Gu Chaochao regained his senses, put away the smile on his face for a second, walked up to Shen Mushen with an air, and began to help He pinched his arm. Shen Mushen just paused for a while, his arms were no longer so numb, but he still took a breath of air from time to time, and then enjoyed Gu Chaochao's calm worry.
Zheng Qingqing, who was supporting Wu Cai with Wu Wen, saw this scene and lowered his eyes to hide the darkness in his eyes.
The two masters and apprentices behaved so peacefully over the years, and the cultivators, who had just experienced life and death several times, felt a little unbalanced in their hearts. Among them, there are young cultivators who can't help but feel sour: "Sect Master Gu is really powerful, and you can bring a mortal to this place safely."
Gu Chaochao glanced at him and said sincerely: "It's not as good as you, bring some old and weak people. The sick and disabled can come here safely."
"You..." The man was speechless.
Also, now everyone has no spiritual power, high-level cultivators have become a burden, and the mortal Shen Mushen has become the most powerful.
When one person was defeated, the other person was about to take the lead, but before he had time to feel sour, Shen Mushen pulled out his long sword and looked at it coldly.
Everyone: "..."
There was a dead silence in the open space. Shen Mushen said slowly in the silence: "Anyway, they all come from a prestigious family, and they should be more or less reasonable. Before I set off, my master has already told you that the five senses of the jungle beasts degenerate, as long as you don't move. If you speak out, there will be no danger, how many of you will listen?"
He paused for a moment after speaking, looked at the only twenty people left in front of him, and gradually raised the corners of his lips provocatively: "Everyone should have listened in. , or else it wouldn't be here."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone changed suddenly, and some of the younger ones even had red eyes. Gu Chaochao glanced at everyone and knew exactly why they had different expressions.
Because in the original text, some of these people had, in order to protect themselves, directly seriously injured their friends who were avoiding them, forcing the other party to make a sound to attract the beast, and they took the opportunity to flee.
Although Shen Mushen didn't know the content of the original text, he knew human nature very well, and he could easily transfer the contradiction to them in one sentence, which is not unwise.
When Gu Chaochao was thinking about it, she was suddenly lightly scratched by a finger on the palm of her hand. She snapped back to her senses, and when she raised her head, she met Shen Mu's deeply inviting eyes.
...well, it looks stupid sometimes.
She sighed silently, and was about to speak when she heard Shen Mushen's stomach rumbling. Gu Chaochao smiled: "Hungry?"
"Hmm." Shen Mu nodded deeply.
As soon as he admitted it, the others seemed to be reminded, and then there was the rumbling of his stomach.
Aside from those young disciples, Wu Wen has also been incapacitated for a long time. At this moment, he is suddenly as hungry as a mortal. He couldn't handle it as calmly as the young disciples. Instead, he felt panic and powerlessness.
The other high-level cultivators also gradually realized that this was not the time for internal strife because of their hunger, so after looking at each other, they couldn't help but walk in front of Gu Chaochao.
"Sect Master Gu," said again, the high-level cultivator had lost his initial arrogance, and dared not despise Gu Chaochao's identity as the Hehuan Sect, "I dare to ask how long this dense forest will end?"
Gu Chaochao glanced at him: "Me too I'm not sure, but according to my previous homework, it will take at least three days." To be precise, it was a journey of three to five days, but she didn't say anything.
When everyone heard this answer, there was only one word in
their minds - this is trouble.
Changed to normal, even ordinary mortals will not be in danger if they don’t eat or drink for three days, but they still have to hurry and avoid beasts.
Gu Chaochao saw everyone's reactions were calm. There were a lot of steamed buns in her Qiankun bag. Although the Qiankun bag lost its fresh-keeping function in the dense forest, the steamed buns themselves are not easy to spoil. day's journey.
But she wasn't ready to share it.
Shen Mushen sat silently beside her, and the two master and apprentice pretended to be dead.
In the silence, someone suddenly asked, "Sect Master Gu, since you knew that the dense forest was so big, didn't you prepare food in advance?"
As soon as the person asked, everyone looked at Gu Chaochao at the same time. A piece of fat. Shen Mushen took a step forward in displeasure, blocking the sight of most people.
Gu Chaochao was not annoyed, he glanced at the man calmly after hearing the words: "Many of your disciples haven't arrived at Jindan yet. Don't they bring food?"
"It's too troublesome to bring food, we brought Lingquan Dew." Some people regret bringing this up. During the Xianmen trial, they are used to taking Lingquan dew, whether it is a mortal body or a cultivator, one drop will not eat or drink for three days, but I did not expect that this secret realm will make them lose all their cultivation. , the elixir also lost its effect.
Today's Lingquan Dew is nothing but ordinary sweet water in a porcelain bottle.
Gu Chaochao curled his lips: "What a coincidence, I also brought Lingquan Dew to my apprentice."
Wu Cai immediately looked at her.
"But you..."
"I've been fasting for too long, I've already forgotten what it's like to be hungry, and I think it's easy to get through three days, so I didn't bring much." Gu Chaochao interrupted him first.
Her words also pierced the psychology of other high-level cultivators. Those who had suspected her of hiding her secrets immediately dispelled their doubts and made everyone silent for a longer time.
After a long silence, Wu Cai, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said, "There will always be some fruit trees in such a lush jungle. We can send a few people into the jungle to pick fruit every day."
"Then who should go and who should go? ?" Someone immediately questioned.
Wu Cai snorted: "There are still several days before we can go out, so naturally we have to send people to pick them up every day. Now there are only more than 20 people left. We can only go out on four days for the time being, so we will send a group of five or six people every day. One group to pick."
His method was fair, and everyone looked at each other and silently agreed.
"...Then let's divide into groups now." A young disciple said.
As soon as the words fell, the people from the major sects stood together first, and then each got together with the familiar sects, and soon divided into three groups, and the three people of Qingfengzong probably acted too much before, and there was no room for it for a while. People want to hang out with them.
I didn't pay attention for a while, so I chose Gu Chaochao, who had no choice: "..."
"Sect Master Gu, then there are only a few of us." Wu Cai could afford it and put it down, and immediately clasped his fists respectfully.
Gu Chaochao twitched the corner of his mouth and reluctantly accepted the fact.
After the four groups of people were selected, the order was determined by drawing lots. Gu Chaochao was lucky and chose the fourth.
As soon as the result came out, Wu Cai and the others were very satisfied. After all, if they had traveled faster, they might have been lifted from their restraints before they could go deep into the jungle.
After everyone settled the rules, the sky became darker. The weather in the dense forest did not change significantly, but it was still barely able to distinguish day and night. After night fell, the temperature gradually dropped, and everyone continued on their way. It was only when their bodies were exhausted that they realized that they not only needed food, but also sleep. It stopped flat.
Shen Mushen took the lead in picking a ground with a stone to block the wind, and after sitting down, he waved to Gu Chaochao: "Master, come here!"
"Young man, shouldn't this place be given to the old man?" He took up the good place , the high-level cultivators were immediately dissatisfied.
Shen Mushen saw that the corners of his lips were raised: "My master is more than 100 years old, how old are you?"
Although he looked very old, the real age was just over seventy years old high-level cultivator: "..."
Gu Chaochao: "..." I thank you.
"Master, come here." Shen Mushen ignored him.
Gu Chaochao gave him a sidelong glance, and walked forward unhurriedly. Shen Mushen quickly wiped the ground with his sleeve, and almost carved the word "dogleg" on his face.
Zheng Qingqing on the side clenched his palms tightly, his eyes darkened.
"Qingqing," Wu Cai called to her in a deep voice, "come here and sit down."
Zheng Qingqing returned to his senses, and after seeing that the location he pointed to was the air outlet, he sat down obediently after a moment of silence.
As soon as she sat down, she blocked most of the cold wind, Wu Wen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at her.
What a dog. Gu Chaochao evaluated in his heart.
"Master, I will shield you from the wind." Shen Mushen said attentively.
Gu Chaochao rubbed his dog's head, but still pulled him over a little bit and stayed with him to keep out the cold.
The two of them looked without any scruples, and inadvertently gave others too much to talk about. They looked at each other silently, and their eyes were full of contempt for the Acacia sect. However, as the night got deeper and the cold wind became stronger and stronger, everyone who was still holding a shelf silently gathered together to keep warm with each other's body temperature.
Gu Chaochao was almost sticking to Shen Mushen's body, but it was still extremely cold. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and remind him, "Take off your coat.
" Gu Chaochao was stunned for a moment, then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What's the hurry?"
After saying that, he took off his own, Shen Mu was stunned, and was about to ask what was wrong, when he saw her putting two clothes together.
Shen Mushen suddenly understood what was going on. After helping her put on the clothes, she took two clothes and draped them directly over the two of them. Clothes in the Xiuxian world always like to be elegant and spacious. Although her clothes are relatively small, they are still enough to wrap two people.
When Gu Chaochao did this, he only wanted to cover one quilt for one person, not the principle of two quilts together to keep warm, but he ignored the ambiguous behavior of huddling together with only underwear.
At least she was stunned instinctively when she bumped into Shen Mu's deep hot chest.
And Shen Mushen, who was beside her, silently knelt down where she couldn't see, covering the embarrassing changes somewhere in her body.
