Gu Chen had a dream. In the dream, he lived very well in the world. He built a small wooden house in a hill and surrounded it with a fence. He raised several poultry inside and there was a vegetable field next to the wooden house. Rice is grown in the open space behind the wooden house. Sometimes his master Dongyang Master comes to see him when he is free, and then he invites the master to drink wine and eat meat. This scene is very similar to the one on Kunlun Mountain, but it is better than the one on Kunlun Mountain. better.
There was a faint smile on Gu Chen's lips, but his body gradually tilted to one side. He had maintained this sitting posture for too long, and his arms that were pillowed and his legs were numb from sitting for a long time, which made him lose his balance.
"ah!!"
A clear cry woke him up before he fell to the ground, and then he noticed someone supporting him. He looked up and saw a girl with bright eyes and white teeth. Her eyes were bright and moving, like the moon, and she seemed to be smiling vaguely. The faint fragrant smell on her body made him feel good, and he wanted to smell it a few more times, but there was a beautiful but cold woman standing next to the girl, and her cold eyes stared at him, which made him suddenly feel chilled.
Gu Chen suddenly woke up and sat down quickly. His throat was slightly dry and his voice was hoarse as he said, "Thank you."
The girl looked at him, then at the store door, pointed at Gu Chen and asked, "Why are you sitting here? Do you have no money to stay in the hotel?"
Gu Chen was startled when he heard the word "money" again. Then he looked back and saw a plaque on the door of the store with the words "Qingmu Inn" written on it.
"This is an inn, and an inn is a place for people to live."
Gu Chen recalled the miscellaneous notes he had read on Kunlun Mountain. After knowing the meaning of the inn, he asked the girl, "Does it cost money to stay in the inn?"
The girl's face was full of surprise, and she said in a tone of voice as if she was saying something that everyone in the world knew, "Of course."
That tone made Gu Chen a little frustrated. He had originally wanted to ask what the money was, so he pressed his lips together tightly and remained silent for a long time.
The girl's temper was lively and a little anxious. Seeing that Gu Chen didn't speak, she continued talking by herself and said, "Don't you know it costs money to stay in an inn? Why are you here alone? Where is your family? At night We're almost there. It's dangerous to be alone outside. Why don't you come with us..."
"enough!"
The woman behind the girl made an impatient and cold voice, causing her words to stop abruptly.
"What other people do is none of your business. Come into the inn."
The girl stuck out her sweet tongue, then leaned into Gu Chen's ear and whispered softly: "You'd better find a way to get into the inn. It's not peaceful here during this time. Many people have died, and there are many children like you. It’s gone, so be careful.”
From the moment the girl asked a series of troublesome questions, Gu Chen was at a loss and didn't know whether to pay attention to her. After being stopped by the woman, Gu Chen felt that he could finally calm down, and then he was surprised by the girl's sudden This information was revealed to him, but before he could ask, the girl had already been pulled in by the woman.
"Master, slow down, you're hurting me!!"
Gu Chen was slightly surprised. Generally, the title "Master" is either used to address experts who master a certain skill, or it is used as a respectful title between master and disciple. Judging from Gu Chen's own experience, the only ones he can think of are those who cultivate immortals. , is that beautiful and cold woman actually an immortal cultivator? That girl should have some cultivation skills, right?
Gu Chen thought so and looked inside to find their figures, but they had already gone upstairs and he could no longer see them. And he had no money. He knew that he couldn't go in without money, even though he wanted to get it now. He knew what money was, but at the same time he was a little concerned about what the girl just said.
Many people died in this town? Are there many children missing?
Gu Chen paid attention to the expressions of passers-by and saw that most of them were in a hurry. As time went by, there were fewer and fewer people on the street. He discovered something that felt wrong from the beginning. In this small town, No small children.
wrong!
Gu Chen remembered that when he was first brought here by Master Dongyang, there were still a few children on the street, although they were very few. Then the sun moved westward and those children disappeared. Then he remembered that the owner of the bun shop Zhang Dashan told him that the sun was going down and asked him to go back quickly. Could it be that what would happen after the sun went down?
While thinking, the street suddenly became lively again. Gu Chen turned around and saw a group of people walking out of the green forest to the west of the town. They were all middle-aged men and women. They were holding farming tools or Holding knives and axes, they looked panicked and nervous, some even looked sad, with tears on their faces.
Many people in the town came forward to greet and ask, seeing them shaking their heads and looking sad.
Watching them leave the team one by one and enter each house, Gu Chen suddenly thought of Zhang Dashan persuading him to go back, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, where can he go back now? The little girl just asked him to find a way to enter the inn, but he had no money and couldn't even enter the inn.
The sun was setting in the west and the moon was rising in the east. There were more and more people in the inn. Gu Chen could no longer sit on the steps in front of the inn, as that would hinder others. He retreated to the corner of the wall and sat down. The night breeze brought a bit of coolness. It was a kind of harm to his current body. He was shivering and shivering like a wounded rabbit, and his body temperature was constantly dropping.
Gu Chen trembled, but thought to himself, without his cultivation, he was nothing. This was only the first day, and he was already struggling. If he couldn't survive even one day in this world, he would starve to death and freeze to death. If you die, will your master be embarrassed?
He didn't want to die, and he didn't want to embarrass his master, but he didn't know what he could do. The only thing he could do was also the most familiar thing in the past twelve years. He meditated subconsciously, trying to let go of those things that might still be in his body. The vitality moved.
He seemed to have caught something, and then the broken meridians in his body suddenly sent out bursts of stinging pain, making him almost scream out in pain, and then a hot feeling rose from his Dantian and quickly spread throughout his body.
This kind of heat was extremely unusual. He endured the pain but grinned silently. He thought to himself that this was not bad. At least his body temperature had risen and he didn't have to worry about being frozen to death. But then the feeling of heat dissipated. , his body seemed to have suddenly lost all defenses and was in the midst of thousands of troops. An even stronger chill that should not have existed hit him, causing all the organs below his chest to ache.
The sudden heat and cold made Gu Chen realize that he was good at manipulating the meridians and had gone crazy. The meridians that were originally disabled have been stabilized after being nursed back to health by Master Dongyang. They need to be slowly repaired over time. Although he can no longer practice, he At least it would keep him safe for the rest of his life, but because of his reckless actions, the meridians in his body began to break again. This break was much slower and more complete than when he decommissioned his cultivation, and would cause him to suffer more and longer. .
Gu Chen panicked, he didn't want to die yet, at least he didn't want to die on the first day he came to this world, but he couldn't move and didn't know what to do at all. He sat huddled in the corner and it looked like nothing unusual to outsiders. Even if they knew about the abnormality, given his current situation, how could the people in this town help him?
Unless, the woman suspected of being an immortal cultivator...
However, Gu Chen immediately shook off this unrealistic idea. That woman was as cold as ice, how could she help him? Not to mention that the other party knows nothing at this time and has no choice but to seek help from others.
He tried his best to calm down and feel the changes in his body, which would make him more sensitive to pain, but now he had to endure it and find hope from it.
In the past, when he had cultivated his body and calmed down his mind, he could look inside and see clearly what was going on inside his body. But now he is just an ordinary person without any cultivation, and under a strange combination of circumstances, he can activate the remaining energy in the broken meridians. Yuanli put himself in crisis, and he didn't expect to be able to look inside at this time.
However, Gu Chen saw the situation inside his body and looked inside.
With no time to be surprised, he quickly checked himself and found that his Dantian was really a mess. The original energy remaining in the broken meridians was very little, and now it was all concentrated in his Dantian. The shape was extremely disordered, and the broken meridians were in even worse condition. , not only began to break again, but some were covered with frost, and some were burned red.
Gu Chen's heart was shaken, but it was not because of what he saw, but because of the criss-crossing silver rays of light that appeared in his body, either passing through the broken meridians, or appearing in places where there were no meridians. For some reason, he felt that those silver rays of light It was his own meridians. The new meridians formed a clear pattern. It was the pattern of a sword. Gu Chen recognized that sword. He had guarded that sword for nearly three months.
