Facing the sudden appearance of the man in white wearing a sword, Gu Xiaotian had a thousand doubts in his heart.
However, Gu Xiaotian did not dare to ask.
This man in white appeared out of thin air. If it was really a man in white who was looking at the sword in the dense forest, Gu Xiaotian should have noticed it when he entered the wasteland, but why didn't this man have any breath on him.
If he is not a warrior but an ordinary person, it would be even more unreasonable.
The man in white suddenly laughed and said, "Some things don't need to be explained, they will fall into place."
Gu Xiaotian had no choice but to cup his hands and say, "Senior, you said you were a swordsman, but where did the sword come from in this dense forest?"
The man in white raised a hand and gently tapped it on his heart.
"in my heart."
Gu Xiaotian pursed his lips, why did everyone talk like the Riddler?
The man in white looked at Gu Xiaotian and said with a smile, "Do you have a sword in your heart?"
Gu Xiaotian was stunned by this question.
Whether he has a sword in his heart or not, he has never thought about it.
Maybe there is, maybe there isn't.
The sword is his most handy weapon. He has been with the sword for a long time. Sometimes in desperate situations, Gu Xiaotian can feel the sword intention in his heart. But sometimes, the sword intention in his heart will be very weak, even No, the sword is just like a tool for him to fight.
The man in white smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry, you can think about it slowly."
Zhao Qixing stood aside and never said a word from beginning to end.
He was looking at the man in white in front of him curiously, with a playful look in his eyes, as if he had seen through something. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but he said nothing.
The man in white waved his hand, pointed in the distance and said, "I'll take you somewhere."
At the moment, the man in white seemed to be the master of the dense forest, and Gu Xiaotian did not refuse. No matter where it was, he would wait until he got there.
Zhao Qixing was a little hesitant, as if he didn't want to follow the man in white.
The man in white saw what Zhao Qixing was hesitating about and smiled: "It's not Tianmen."
Zhao Qixing made a sound and said carelessly: "If it was really Tianmen, I would have run away long ago."
The man in white laughed it off.
In Gu Xiaotian's eyes, Zhao Qixing is also quite weird. Countless people have broken their heads trying to find the Tianmen. It would be better to go to Zhao Qixing's side. If there is a Tianmen, they have to avoid it.
It's really a weirdo among weirdos.
But for now, the only option is to follow the man in white. If he doesn't follow, he will have to find his own way, and he may never find it in his life.
...
There really are other ways within this dense forest.
The man in white led the two people up a hillside, where a house stood.
The house was not big, with a roof to keep out the rain and a door to keep out the wind. The man in white smiled and opened the door, waving for the two of them to come in and sit down.
Like a master, the man in white made a pot of tea, took out three cups, and poured it one by one.
Gu Xiaotian didn't hold up the teacup. He really didn't know the origin of this man in white.
Seeing this, the man in white smiled and said, "Maybe I should introduce myself again. My surname is Chen Dan, and my last name is a strange character."
Gu Xiaotian asked: "Are you a warrior?"
Chen Qi shook his head, "Fifty years ago I was barely a warrior, but now I don't."
Gu Xiaotian frowned, fifty years ago?
This Chen Qiguang looks like he is only in his early thirties.
But this is not important. Encountering such strange things and meeting strange people in the dense forest of Sword Tomb does not seem so strange.
Gu Xiaotian thought for a moment and asked, "Have you been staying here?"
Chen Qi nodded and said seriously: "I'm just following people's orders and doing things for them."
"For whom?"
Chen Qi changed the topic, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, inviting the two of them to drink tea.
Gu Xiaotian didn't understand what Chen Qi's intentions were. In short, he had to be careful in everything.
This Chen Qishen
He must be carrying some secret, and Chen Qi's appearance was strange enough. After a sudden tremor was felt on the wasteland, he appeared out of thin air, silently, as if he had come down from the sky.
Zhao Qixing has been staring at Chen Qi since he entered the room. He is obviously somewhat hostile towards Chen Qi, but there is no need to take action yet.
Chen Qi didn't care about Zhao Qixing's gaze. He held up the tea cup and raised his hand slightly towards Zhao Qixing, making a gesture of offering tea.
Gu Xiaotian also looked at Zhao Qixing, wanting to see what Zhao Qixing saw.
Inside the room, Gu Xiaotian was restless. The tea in front of him had gone cold, but he never touched it.
Chen Qi took the initiative to speak and brought the topic to what Gu Xiaotian was most concerned about, "Are you very concerned about what opportunities are hidden in this dense forest?"
"May I ask, Senior Chen, if you know what the opportunities are in this dense forest?"
Chen Qi played it off a little and did not directly answer Gu Xiaotian's question, "There are many opportunities in the jungle, but I don't know which one you want, or you have to ask your own heart, which one do you want the most?" What exactly do you want?”
Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi poured out the herbal tea in the cup in front of Gu Xiaotian, poured him a new cup of tea, and said with a smile: "It's okay if you can't think of it, it just means that you are an undestined person. I will figure it out by then." Send you out."
Gu Xiaotian put his hand gently on the teacup, kept stroking the edge of the teacup, lowered his head and remained silent.
Just think about asking yourself what your heart really needs.
Along the way, I have seen the sea, climbed mountains, and seen the impermanence of the world. Every time, I will gain something. In the beginning, it was just three people who were arranged by the master to travel around the world. Later, they encountered so many things along the way. The team They have also been getting older, first Yao Yao, then they met the somewhat annoying Cheng Sanyi, and then they met Qu Xiaohan.
They also chat before going to bed on weekdays. They are quite clear about what they want in their hearts.
Cheng Sanyi wants to go to the sky, Yao Yao wants to revive Yujian Villa, Qu Xiaohan wants peace in the world so that she can continue to travel around, and Duan Peng and Huang Shengjie both have a clear goal in mind.
In the end, it seemed that Gu Xiaotian was the only one with unclear goals.
Sometimes he wants to become stronger, sometimes he wants to see more of the world, or he wants the world to be peaceful and the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
There are so many things I want in my heart.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Zhao Qixing suddenly asked: "Which figure in the sky left this dense forest?"
Chen Qi smiled and said, "If you are curious, why don't you go to heaven and ask?"
Zhao Qixing waved his hand and said that he didn't want to get involved in heaven's affairs. If he saw Tianmen one day, he would want to smash Tianmen to pieces. There is so much freedom and freedom in the world, so why should he give up this freedom and live a boring life in heaven? Life?
Chen Qi put it bluntly, "Heaven is not boring, it's just not the life you want."
In the room, Chen Qi drank the last cup of tea, put the tea set aside and lay down on the spot.
Chen Qi, who was lying on the ground, closed his eyes and reminded: "You don't have to stay here all the time. It doesn't matter if you want to go out and look for it. If you want to find a place to sleep, this is the place to come here at night."
Gu Xiaotian stood up to say goodbye and took Zhao Qixing with him to continue searching.
The two of them were walking in the dense forest, and Gu Xiaocai asked angrily: "What tricks did you see?"
Zhao Qixing curled his lips and said, "It's nothing, just a bastard of heaven and man."
Gu Xiaotian was surprised. It was already a big deal to be a "dog-leg" of the heavenly beings. If an ordinary person was attracted by the heavenly beings, they would really burn incense at home.
The two continued to walk in the dense forest. After Chen Qi appeared and took the two to the hillside, Gu Xiaotian discovered that this road seemed to have a guide, guiding him to a certain place.
There were many forks in the road along the way, but Gu Xiaotian always walked forward without thinking about it.
Finally, the two of them reached the halfway point of the mountain. Gu Xiaotian
Then he stopped.
There is a small cave halfway up the mountain.
From the outside, it looked unremarkable, but Gu Xiaotian seemed to have sensed something and insisted on going inside to take a look.
Zhao Qixing naturally didn't care, after all, he came in with him.
The two walked into the cave and heard a few ticking sounds. It seemed that the cave was damp and there were some drops of water.
But not long after the two stepped into the cave, they saw a fire coming from the entrance of the cave.
Gu Xiaotian quickly drew his sword and raised it straight, ready to see who it was.
Unexpectedly, a voice came from the cave entrance first, "It's me."
Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi walked in holding a torch.
Gu Xiaotian put away his sword and couldn't help but become more confused.
Wasn't he just lying in the house with his eyes closed and sleeping? Why did he appear directly in this cave, holding a torch?
Chen Qi smiled and said, "I'll give you a light, so just keep going."
Zhao Qixing looked hostile and warned: "If you dare to make any move, I won't mind killing you, you loser."
Chen Qi didn't pay attention, just smiled and responded: "How can the thoughts in my heart escape your eyes."
The cave is not deep. Not long after walking forward, we have reached the end of the cave.
At the end, there is a small grave made of earth. There is only a sign in front of the grave, but there is nothing written on the sign.
Facing this unknown small tomb, Gu Xiaotian hesitated.
His intuition told him that he had to dig this small grave. After digging it, he would probably know what he wanted.
But from a human perspective, no matter what is buried inside, it would be disrespectful to dig it up.
Chen Qi smiled and said, "Want to dig?"
Gu Xiaotian nodded awkwardly.
This unknown little grave seemed to be calling him.
Chen Qi said: "You can dig if you want, don't have any worries, just put aside any disrespect."
Gu Xiaotian walked step by step to the small grave, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and muttered silently: "Senior, don't blame the junior."
Then, he gently removed the small wooden sign in front of the grave, put it aside, and began to dig the soil bit by bit with his hands.
Chen Qi held the torch and thoughtfully helped Gu Xiaotian to illuminate it. He poked his head forward a little, as if he was also very curious about what was hidden in this small tomb.
Halfway through digging, Gu Xiaotian stopped what he was doing and suddenly stood up.
Chen Qi asked: "What's wrong?"
Gu Xiaotian shook his head, "After thinking about it, I decided not to dig. If something bad is found, there will be no room for regret."
Chen Qi did not continue to persuade, he respected Gu Xiaotian's decision.
Gu Xiaotian covered the originally dug soil back up, stood up and left the cave.
