After that, the man turned and left.
Lin Wu heard the footsteps and looked back unexpectedly. The man's back was thin and slender, and his long, silky white hair shone coldly in the night, giving him a calm and tranquil look that was incompatible with everything around him.
His words about suddenly waking up echoed in Lin Wu's ears.
The other party's injuries are not fully healed yet, because she was forced to end the retreat early?
Thinking of this, Lin Wu was silent and followed him honestly.
When she got close to the other party, she took off her robe and wanted to give it back to him.
Mo Chuan was in front of Lin Wu, but as if there were eyes behind him, his voice suddenly rang out.
"It won't be cold to be a teacher."
Lin Wu said: "? Where can there be someone who is not cold?"
"You are right, but being a teacher is not like ordinary people." Mochuan walked slowly, his tone was calm, as if he was just talking about an ordinary thing, "Not only that, being a teacher does not require eating or drinking. Otherwise, how do you think Master stayed in that ice coffin for several years without waking up?"
Lin Wu was startled and looked at the man in front of him in surprise, feeling that he was talking nonsense.
But... when she saw the other party, she really thought that the other party was a dead person with no pulse at all... It seemed possible?
The world is really big and full of wonders.
Lin Wu suddenly became curious, and quickly caught up with Mo Chuan, walked beside him, looked at him and said, "When you are in seclusion, are you... the same as a dead person?"
"almost."
"Then it's still different? What's the difference?"
"Heartbeat."
"? But when I felt you there was no pulse..."
Mochuan suddenly stopped.
Lin Wu didn't pay attention and stopped, but the inertia of her body was still there and she continued to move forward. This made her stumble for a moment, and she grabbed Mo Chuan's arm to steady herself without thinking.
Then quickly let go.
Unexpectedly, Mochuan suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulled it directly and pressed it against his heart.
Lin Wu was startled.
The man's body temperature was extremely low, but there was still a slow and powerful beating coming from across his chest. Although it was almost undetectable, it was difficult to ignore its existence.
For a moment, Lin Wu felt as if he had been stung by something, and his fingers curled up unconsciously.
"I am just different from ordinary people, and I am not dead. Of course, I still have my heartbeat and pulse. It is just harder to detect than ordinary people. When you are asleep, your heartbeat will be slower, and your body functions will be greatly reduced. You can only maintain basic breathing. .”
Mo Chuan looked directly at Lin Wu and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Now, do you understand?"
As he finished speaking, the air seemed to change.
Lin Wu immediately retracted his hand, took a big step back, opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't.
Mochuan didn't insist on asking Lin Wu to say anything. He turned around and continued walking forward, strolling leisurely, only reminding Lin Wu to follow.
This time Lin Wu kept his mouth shut and obediently wrapped the other person's robe tightly to keep warm. He no longer had any overestimating thoughts about the other person.
Because Lin Wu is now quite sure that even if she is too sick to walk, the other person may still be walking as fast as flying, and may be in a mood to poison her, making her heartache worse.
Such a tragic contrast made Lin Wu feel a little autistic, and he was really listless when he walked to the back.
About an hour later, the two of them walked across a hillside, and Mochuan suddenly said: "We're here."
Lin Wu looked up.
Not far ahead, there is a winding stone staircase that goes deep into the forest.
Mochuan led her up to the end of the stone steps. Several wooden houses appeared in his sight. They were not too big, but they were simple and spacious. There were half-person-high fences on both sides to separate an open space, which was regarded as a courtyard.
"Is this... really the forbidden area of the Thirty-Sixth Village?"
Lin Wu looked around in confusion. He felt that this place was just an ordinary residence, at most it was located in the forest and was quiet and secluded.
Why has it become a forbidden area in the Thirty-sixth Village?
Are there any unexpected traps? Or is there a dangerous place hidden?
"This place was indeed just an ordinary residence before." Mochuan said, "But now that Master is here, it has become a forbidden area."
It became a forbidden place because of him.
In other words, he is the forbidden land itself.
Lin Wu couldn't help but said: "You are really kind... No matter how arrogant I am, I am never as arrogant as you."
Mo Chuan gave a rare laugh and without much explanation, he just led Lin Wu over.
As I got closer, I found that the place was very clean, as if someone was cleaning it every day.
"That's an empty room. You can sleep in it. There should be clean and usable bedding in the cupboard." Mochuan pointed to the room on the right.
Lin Wu said, turned around and walked over.
She didn't take more than two steps and stopped again. She took off the robe she was wearing and gave it back to Mochuan.
Mo Chuan did not refuse anymore and reached out to take it.
Glancing at Lin Wu's half-dried clothes, he suddenly spoke again: "Master, there are no clothes for you to wear here. Later, I will send a message to the people in Guhui Village. When you wake up, you will see When you can change it, change it when the time comes.”
As a last resort, Lin Wu actually didn't pick a fight and could make do with it.
She nodded nonchalantly, turned around and entered the house.
The room is not big, and the furnishings are quite simple, but surprisingly there is no dust and it is as clean as the outside. It can be seen that someone comes to clean it frequently.
Lin Wu walked to the bed and took a look. The bedding was all neat and tidy, so there was no need to change it.
"Man Chuan has been away for several years, but there are still people taking care of this place every day..."
Lin Wu rubbed her chin and thought, it seems that Mo Chuan's status in Thirty-Six Village is higher than she thought.
Just in time, she could use this to find out why Zhangjiacun left Thirty-Six Villages.
It's more or less an opportunity.
Thinking of this, Lin Wu felt much happier, took off his shoes and went to bed.
She looked at her watch and saw that it was already past four in the morning.
Let’s find a way to go back to Zhangjiacun after sleeping.
Lin Wu closed his eyes, pulled the quilt up to cover his head, and shrank into a ball.
Outside, in another room not far away.
When he was about to close the door, Mo Chuan didn't even have time to reach the table before he lost strength and stumbled to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
He closed his eyes and finally suppressed the surging blood in his body. He reluctantly stood up and slowly walked to the table and sat down.
"I just woke up early, but it was so serious that I could only endure it for a little while..."
Mo Chuan wiped the blood from the corners of his lips with his fingertips and twitched the corners of his lips in a self-deprecating manner.
It seems that over the years, he has become incredibly weak.
Fortunately, no one discovered it... otherwise he would be really embarrassed as a master.
After calming down for a while, Mo Chuan gained strength. He got up and went to the bed, where he sat cross-legged and meditated.
However, at this time, he was still unable to calm down and enter a state of concentration.
After a long time, Mo Chuan resignedly opened his eyes and looked forward.
Lin Wu may not know that the room she is in is directly opposite this one, and that her room is the one Mo Chuan used to live in when he was here.
Thinking of Lin Wu, Mo Chuan was actually a little dazed and confused.
He still can't believe that such a little girl can be his apprentice.
But, it happened.
