"Senior Brother Gu..."
Gu Chen's consciousness was still a little blurry and he was not fully awake yet.
Hearing someone shouting in his ear, he turned around and saw Liu Zhen with a relieved look on his face.
Liu Zhen shouted loudly: "Master, Senior Brother Gu is awake!!"
A gust of wind came from outside the cave, and Qingyangzi's figure arrived instantly.
Seeing that Gu Chen woke up, Qingyangzi looked surprised.
"Father..."
"How do you feel? Is there anything wrong?"
Qingyangzi seemed a little anxious, completely losing his former indifference and calmness. Even his questions were unclear and lackluster.
Gu Chen blinked.
Instead of seeing Gu Chen answer, he instead saw him blinking at her as if he was stupid. Qingyangzi became even more anxious and couldn't help but grab Gu Chen's shoulders and shake him, saying: "What's going on, you said... no, It's okay, just wake up and you'll be fine. Maybe the aftereffects of the Xingshen Pill haven't completely faded away, and you'll be fine after a while..."
Qingyangzi suddenly changed his tone when he reached the roadside, but his voice became darker and darker, and Liu Zhen's expression also became gloomy.
Gu Chen blinked again, somewhat confused about the situation in front of him.
The sequelae of the Awakening Pill have passed. Although the process was painful, fortunately, Gu Chen did not suffer any other injuries. However, the obviously excessive reactions of Qingyangzi and Liu Zhen made Gu Chen feel a little uncomfortable.
Qingyangzi seemed to feel that the movement of shaking Gu Chen's shoulders was a bit strong, so he quickly let go, but his hands were not completely retracted, and there was even more worry in his eyes.
If he doesn't give any reaction, I'm afraid Qingyangzi's former image and demeanor will be gone.
Gu Chen quickly shook his head and said, "Father, I'm fine."
"No...nothing?"
Gu Chen nodded repeatedly and said, "It's really okay."
…
…
From the peaks of Qingyang Gate, a pair of stretchers were carried down the mountain, with young disciples lying on the stretchers.
The eyes of those young disciples were dull, looking at the sky without focus, and they rarely even blinked.
If it weren't for the air flowing between their breaths, the slight rise and fall of their chests, and more importantly, the warmth in their bodies, it would be impossible to tell whether they were alive.
There are also some people who, even though they are lying on stretchers, can't stop talking nonsense, are restless, and move their limbs randomly.
However, it is obvious that this situation has been expected.
They were tied together with ropes and stretchers, making it difficult for them to move.
He Jietong directed everyone to send these people down the mountain, with a complicated look on his face.
These people were originally disciples of the mountain sect. After passing the test of Jingzhe Enlightenment Stone, they were accepted by Master Zhu Feng as disciples and were about to truly become disciples of the Qingyang sect. However, they failed to survive the backlash of the Awakening God Pill.
If they fail to pass this level, they will naturally have no chance with the Immortal Sect, and they can only be sent down the mountain.
It's just that these people were supposed to be his junior brothers and sisters, and some of them were very close to him these days and were already familiar with each other.
With a long sigh, He Jietong looked at the glorious and majestic Zhenghuang Palace, and then shook his head.
He has seen a lot of things like this in the past five years.
Once he asked Zhong Ding to take action, but Zhong Ding told him that there was nothing he could do. After that, he could only watch these unlucky fellow disciples go down the mountain.
The battle between immortals was extremely cruel, and the backlash of the Awakening Pill was only an insignificant part of it. However, this incident deeply touched He Jietong.
After all, his cultivation level is still low, he has not gone too far on this path, and he still has a worldly mind.
How are those people going to live their lives for the rest of their lives?
How will they live on earth?
For those who are cultivating immortals, it is extremely cruel to compete with each other in the world of cultivating immortals. But for mortals, is this not the case in the human world?
Those who have learned nothing from the Stone Enlightenment, have no connection with the Immortal Sect, and have not taken the Awakening Pill, have no worries. Based on what they have learned in the Mountain Sect this year, it is easy to seek wealth in the world. If they are still aspiring to the Immortal Way, just The mere fact that they can become disciples of the Qingyang Sect is enough to become the core disciples of many small sects.
The path of life has its own destiny.
Speaking of which, this year will be much better. Because of Gu Chen, many people have not had time to learn about the stone, and naturally many of them have not yet taken the Awakening Pill.
Although they lost the opportunity to realize the stone, they managed to escape this disaster. I don’t know whether they should be considered lucky or unlucky?
As for those who have taken the Awakening Pill but lost the opportunity to realize the stone, and thus failed to take a chance and suffered the backlash of the Awakening Pill, and have become stupid and crazy since then, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck.
However, there are also a few who have endured the backlash of the Awakening God Pill, but they have also been blessed in disguise and have been accepted as disciples by Master Zhufeng. The mere fact that they can survive the backlash of the Awakening God Pill is enough to show their extraordinary character.
Looking in the direction of Donglai Peak from a distance, a trace of worry flashed in He Jietong's eyes, especially when he thought of some of Zhong Ding's words during this period and murmured in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Liu, Master has a big prejudice against you. You should be careful in the future."
…
…
Yanlaifeng.
Seeing those junior brothers and sisters being sent down the mountain one after another, Xu Mushan cried so hard that she stretched out her hands to try to hold them back.
It's just that those junior brothers and sisters no longer laugh as before, either lose their spirits or go crazy, so no one can recognize her.
Luo Lan has come out of seclusion, and her complexion looks much better than before, but I don't know if her mood has recovered, let alone whether her cultivation has improved.
At this time, Luo Lan was busy directing the low-level disciples and many servants on the peak to send those disciples who had not survived the backlash of the Awakening Pill down the mountain one by one.
It is a pity that not one of the disciples accepted by Ai Ling into Yanlai Peak this year was able to withstand the backlash of the Awakening Pill.
Xu Mushan was desperate and there was nothing she could do about it.
Seeing the appearance of the junior brothers and sisters who had been around me calling "Senior Sister" and "Senior Sister" non-stop, I felt sad.
Ai Ling walked up to her and couldn't bear to see her appearance. She said: "Everyone has different destiny. They have no destiny with the Immortal Sect..."
Xu Mushan shook her head. That was not what made her sad. She looked at Ai Ling helplessly and asked, "Master, what will they do in the future?"
Ai Ling was stunned and shook her head.
Over the years, there have been many people who failed to gain enlightenment from the Qingyang Sect or failed to withstand the backlash of the Awakening God Pill. The Qingyang Sect does not care what kind of fate those people will have after they are sent down the mountain.
At this time, Xu Mushan asked, but it stumped Ai Ling.
She didn't know what to say.
"It should be easy for the Qingyang Clan to take care of these people and let them live out their lives without worries, right?"
Looking at Xu Mushan's expectant eyes, Ai Ling didn't want to lie to her, but she couldn't bear to tell her the truth. After a while, she said softly: "As a teacher, someone will take care of them."
"Really?"
Ai Ling nodded.
Xu Mushan felt a stone fall in her heart and said gratefully: "Thank you, master."
This kid...
Ai Ling sighed softly.
It was obviously none of her business, but after all, Xu Mushan still had too much emotion invested in these people.
The attachment to earthly fate is too heavy and is not conducive to the great path.
Just when she was worried, Ai Ling found that her hands were being held by Xu Mushan.
Xu Mushan's face was full of fear and anticipation, and she asked cautiously: "Where is Gu Chen? Has he made it through?"
Ai Ling was silent, and realized that Xu Mushan's strength had become a little stronger, so she could only say, "I don't know yet."
"It's been so long, why don't you know?"
Ai Ling shook her head and said, "I really don't know. His situation is a bit special. The backlash is heavier than others and lasts longer. I don't know yet whether he has survived or not."
During this period of time, the backlash of the Awakening God Pill has gradually passed, and whether or not it has survived, the results have come out.
On the one hand, Ai Ling went to Donglai Peak out of concern, and on the other hand, because of Xu Mushan's request. When she saw Gu Chen's condition, she found that he was still suffering from the backlash of the Awakening Pill, and the backlash had not faded at all.
Now a few days have passed, and the backlash that occurred one after another has passed, but there is no news as to whether Gu Chen's backlash has passed.
In Ai Ling's opinion, the backlash was so strong and lasted for such a long time that it would be difficult for Gu Chen to survive even if he had extraordinary qualifications and mind.
