Gu Chen was surprised because he heard unexpected words from Yang Chan. At the same time, he also felt puzzled as to what happened in that inn that could change Yang Chan's impression of Yun Zhi.
That cold woman left a deep impression on Gu Chen. She was domineering and self-centered. She didn't consider other people's thoughts, just to make herself comfortable. She wanted to take Yang Chan away, so Yang Chan's opinions were completely different. What's important is that she didn't like Gu Chen, so she decided to kill him on the spur of the moment, and then she did it. If Yang Chan hadn't stopped her at that time, Gu Chen would have died.
But in fact, in Gu Chen's opinion, there is nothing wrong with what Yun Zhi did. Among immortal cultivators, it is normal to do what one wants. His master, Dongyang Master, also did whatever he wanted when his mind moved. Immortal cultivators eventually cultivated It's your heart, and naturally you have to follow your own heart, so he never thinks that Yun Zhi is a bad person, but he also doesn't think that Yun Zhi is a good person, but he knows that Yang Chan thinks that Yun Zhi is a bad person.
Gu Chen lowered his head and looked at his shadow stretched by the moonlight without saying a word.
Yang Chan thought he didn't believe it, so she quickly said: "It's true. I just saw it inside. She also experienced something. Although I don't know what it was, she was very sad. She seemed to have lost someone and was about to cry. …”
Gu Chen didn't know what it would be like for a woman like Yun Zhi to cry, but he could somewhat understand why Yang Chan would change his impression of her. After all, Yang Chan also lost her family not long ago. She met Yun Zhi when she was helpless and was She took her with her and was full of feelings for Yun Zhi from the beginning and was aroused.
Gu Chen said: "So you don't want to leave her?"
Yang Chan was startled, and then she subconsciously looked up at the inn. Suddenly she felt a little confused. She felt that she wanted to leave, but Yun Zhi's excited and sad look just now flashed through her mind, and she suddenly couldn't help but think, If she left like this, what would Yun Zhi do?
Gu Chen understood what she meant, because when it came to leaving, he was still hesitant in his heart. He was worried about what he would do tomorrow morning when Zhang Dashan came to see him with steamed buns but couldn't find him. Then he always felt that even if he wanted to You should say something before leaving.
So Gu Chen was silent, but Yang Chan couldn't help but turn her head to look at him from time to time. She hesitated to speak, as if she was waiting for him to say the words about taking her away again, and then she must muster the courage to nod to him.
There was no one on the street. In the quiet street, two quiet children sat together without speaking. Suddenly, both of them raised their heads and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
It was a red moon, which looked very delicate and strange. The red color was rubbed into the moonlight, and as the moonlight fell to the ground, it seemed that the ground was covered with a thin layer of light red film, although it was not actually obvious. , but there happened to be two children who kept looking at the ground in a daze, taking the faint red film into their eyes.
So red...
Gu Chen thought of the moon last night, and then for some reason he thought of people who died and had their brains eaten, and his expression changed involuntarily.
"It's so red. This is the first time I've seen a red moon."
Yang Chan looked at the red moon, surprised and excited. She couldn't help but hold Gu Chen's hand and said, "Gu Chen, look, the moon has turned red."
Gu Chen was shaken by her and smiled bitterly. Even if it was such a slight shake, his body was still in pain. But in front of Yang Chan, he tensed up and endured it, but he caught a bloody figure in his erratic vision. Gu Chen was startled, his eyes focused, staring closely at the blood shadow.
Gu Chen's reaction frightened Yang Chan. She subconsciously followed Gu Chen's gaze and saw a red figure at the entrance of the woods to the west of the town, squatting like a cat and looking at them. The moonlight fell on her body, making her look even redder.
Yang Chan widened her eyes and said in surprise: "That's... a child!?"
And she’s still a girl!
As soon as the other party was discovered by them, he immediately turned around and dodged into the woods, moving very quickly.
"Wait a moment!"
"Don't go! Come back quickly!"
Yang Chan stood up and chased her without even thinking about it. Gu Chen quickly grabbed her to stop her, but this time Yang Chan used too much strength. Gu Chen was led forward and he lost his balance and fell to the ground. The pain on his body made him grin, but Yang Chan didn't notice Gu Chen's condition at all and ran towards the woods in the west of the town.
Gu Chen gritted his teeth and got up, and quickly chased after him. He remembered clearly that at night, the woods were absolutely not allowed to go in. He only saw it the night before yesterday, and the villagers who approached there went crazy.
Yang Chan ran in front, getting further and further away. Gu Chen could only try his best to chase after him. Every step he took made him feel heartbreaking pain. Although new meridians were born, the injuries of the previous self-destructed meridians He has not fully recovered yet, and the energy emanating from those crippled meridians has damaged his body. His body is already riddled with holes.
Seeing that Yang Chan had run into the woods, Gu Chen became more and more anxious. He completely ignored his own body and gritted his teeth and ran harder. Blood spilled from his mouth and nose, but he seemed to have no feeling and his speed was faster because of it. A lot.
After Yang Chan chased the little red figure into the woods, she felt dizzy for a while. She felt that the air in the woods was very heavy and made her breathless. There seemed to be something in the air, which was very sticky. As her breath penetrated her body, she felt very uncomfortable.
However, this feeling quickly faded until it disappeared. She thought it might be because the sudden change in the environment took the body some time to adapt. It was the same as climbing a mountain. She felt a little at ease but couldn't see it. There was no trace of the little girl.
"Strange, I must have seen it. Where is she?"
Yang Chan began to search. It was relatively dark in the woods, and the moonlight was shining down, but it was basically blocked by the leaves. Although her eyes had begun to adapt to the darkness, Yang Chan still couldn't see very far. The trees connected one after another blocked the view to a great extent. The further inside, the deeper the darkness.
Yang Chan was a little anxious and wanted to go in to look for her, but Gu Chen had already caught up with her, grabbed her and said, "Don't go!"
Yang Chan broke away from Gu Chen and said, "She is one of those missing children. She probably knows where my parents are!"
Yang Chan's parents chased the child who walked into the woods, and then did not come out again. They have not been found since. Although Yang Chan also knew that they were in danger, but now she suddenly had the idea of finding them again. , so that she could not turn a blind eye, because she saw the child entering the woods, or rather, the child came out of the woods, and they were still alive.
Gu Chen was weak and fell to the ground. Yang Chan calmed down a little and turned her attention to him.
"Gu Chen, you... Oh my God! Gu Chen, you are bleeding! Where are you injured?"
Gu Chen waved his hand and said: "I...I'm fine. You can't go in anymore. There's something inside. Let's get out quickly."
Yang Chan became frightened when she heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "Is there...is there something?"
Gu Chen stared into the darkness.
Far away in the dark depths, there was a child. The child's whole body was red, especially his eyes, which were so red that they were almost bleeding. He was staring at them from there.
But in the depths of darkness, Yang Chan could not see due to the blocking of his sight. Although Gu Chen's cultivation was broken, his eyesight was still there. Although it was impossible to compare with before, it was still much stronger than the average person.
The child's bloody eyes flashed slightly, as if she realized that Gu Chen could see her, so she took a few steps back, disappeared into the darkness, and withdrew from Gu Chen's gaze.
