Listen to Shen Zui explain to himself the difference between immortality and martial arts in the simplest words.
Mu Wan'er felt that the two were completely different, and her eyes were full of doubts and anxiety.
So he asked: "Then if you switch to martial arts now, what can I do to help you?"
He pondered for a long time, then a warm smile filled his face, "As long as you are by my side, that's enough."
"Seriously!" Mu Wan'er gently nudged the man next to her with her elbow.
"Actually, there is really nothing to prepare. Just eat well and sleep well in advance. If you can get some painkillers, it will be better than anything else."
Mu Wan'er's watery eyes widened instantly, "Painkillers? Is it possible that if I choose martial arts again, I will suffer great pain?"
She was about to continue talking when Shen Zui beside her reached out and took her delicate fingers.
"Don't worry, I'm just prepared. Besides, if I want to stay with you forever, I can still endure this little pain."
"But, is this... really good for you?" Mu Wan'er suddenly withdrew her hand from the drunken side, covered her face tightly with both hands, and her shoulders began to twitch, but she just refused to let herself cry. Come.
"It's okay. If you can't even bear this little pain, am I still worthy of being your future husband? Besides, the immortal path is also very difficult and dangerous. If you saw me practicing Broken Mirror before, I'm afraid you wouldn't dare Open your eyes and see.”
As Shen Zui spoke, he raised his hand and gently touched the shoulder of the girl opposite him. His eyes were full of love, but they were like the deep sea. Only when the waves are rough can the waves in his heart be revealed.
Mu Wan'er looked at the pear blossoms with rain intoxicatedly. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. In the end, she couldn't help but smile on her face.
"What are you laughing at?" Mu Wan'er pursed her thin lips pretending to be angry, "Is there something delicious on my face?"
"Of course I do. Her face is soft, and the tip of her nose is so small and cute. And these fingers, like green onions, are the most delicious thing in the world."
Shen Zui didn't know when he quietly held her hand again.
"Shen Zui! You are becoming more and more immoral. I suspect that your previous aloofness was all just an act. I want to break up with you!"
Although the girl said this, the love in her eyes was as thick as honey, and she never wanted to move away from the other person's face.
"Without further delay, our new house will take some time, and I'm afraid I can't wait in my body. I'll go up the mountain to find medicinal materials with the hornbill first. You can go to Granny Chen."
"No, I'll go with you."
As Mu Wan'er spoke, she walked to the kitchen where the sundries were placed, took out a large bamboo basket, and then picked up the hatchet.
She swung the big backpack in a half circle in the air in a handsome manner and hung it on her shoulder, "Let's go!"
The door was opened immediately, Wan'er went first, followed by Shen Zui.
After crossing the path, I greeted Grandma Chen and Sister-in-law Xu Shan, and after greeting Carpenter Li who was immersed in work and the villagers who came to help, the two took steps to go to the back mountain.
The back mountain is not far from the village. After crossing the farmland of each household, it takes less than half a cup of tea to reach the foot of the mountain.
Compared with other mountains, this mountain is not very good. Not only is it lower, but the most important thing is that there are no animals for people to hunt.
Therefore, even the surrounding hunters sneered at this mountain. If they hadn't really been unable to catch prey, they would never have tried their luck here.
Following the forest path that had been trampled by countless people, Mu Wan'er and Shen Zui slowly climbed the mountain.
The season is getting colder and colder. Except for evergreen trees, most ordinary plants have either dropped their leaves and become bare. Either they have lost most of their vitality and just feel confused.
The hornbill also appeared at this time. He was connected with Shenzui, so he went to look for its traces. As long as there is something moving in Shenzui's heart, it will know it and will come to its owner as soon as possible.
With the nourishment of spiritual energy from the grass, the hornbill looks more lively than before, and its coat color also looks much smoother and more lustrous.
The hornbill, whose whole body was covered with golden feathers except for the colorful long feathers on its tail, was resting on the edge of the basket behind Mu Wan'er.
Wan'er was carrying the basket, and the canary bird stood behind her, looking at the old owner in front of her, that is, Shen Zui.
The journey was not long, but beads of sweat were already oozing out from the drunken temples, and his breathing became heavy.
"Tweet."
The hornbill, covered in golden feathers, softly expressed a worried tone.
After Mu Wan'er heard this, she also turned her head.
"Shenzui, are you okay? Why don't you tell me what the herbs I need look like, and I and the Rhinoceros will go find them."
Brushing away the beads of sweat, he shook his head drunkenly, "The fairy grass used in the sect before is definitely not available in the mortal world here.
I need to see it for myself and test the potency. Neither you nor the hornbill can help with this. "
Mu Wan'er didn't force herself. On the path of cultivation, Shen Zui's words were definitely correct.
The girl put down the backpack behind her, leaned against a tree near the trail, and then said to the person opposite: "Let's take a rest."
Shenzui didn't refuse, not because he didn't want to, but because his body really couldn't bear it. As time passed, he could feel that spiritual energy and even life force were constantly leaking out.
Just like a river with its gate opened, the water flowing upstream is turbulent, carrying the force of wind and thunder straight to the downstream.
While he was frowning, something suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Taking a closer look, it was a bamboo tube cut in the middle, handed over by Wan'er.
She raised her chin towards Shen Zui, who was sitting next to her, and motioned for him to take it.
"Eat something, I also brought some side dishes."
As he spoke, he took out a bamboo tube, which contained half a tube of sauerkraut mixed with shredded pork.
"When did you bring these? I didn't even see it." Shenzui took it with a smile and asked.
Wan'er put her hands behind her back and stretched her legs forward so that she could stretch her muscles.
"Who am I? Can you still see me? By the way, I made the side dishes this time. How does it taste?"
Shenzui picked up the rice ball, and then picked some pickled vegetables from the bamboo tube and put it on top.
He put his nose close and sniffed, "It smells a bit stinky."
"Of course it smells bad, but it tastes delicious. I'm not going to lie to you, you'll know after you try it."
Wan'er snatched the chopsticks from Shen Zui's hand, picked up some minced meat and sauerkraut, and put it into his mouth.
Shenzui chewed it carefully, then took half a bite of the rice ball. His eyes suddenly opened wide, as if he had discovered something new.
"It's really delicious, comparable to the sweet and sour ginger made by Grandma Chen."
"If you like it, I'll do it for you every year in the future."
Shenzui nodded, took the chopsticks from Wan'er again, and started eating.
"Would you like some?"
Wan'er shook her head, "I'm not hungry."
After answering the man beside her, she turned her head and glanced deep into the forest. It was as if she was looking at the scenery casually, or looking for something she didn't even know.
