Chapter 540: Three Hundred to Five Hundred
Gu Xingwei tied the other end of the vine to her waist, held the vine with both hands, leaned back, and stood firmly in place.
"Stay safe. ”
Shen Qing nodded, stepped on the raised stone, and walked down little by little.
"Some of the raised stones are not very strong, so you have to step on them before you put your feet down. ”
"Got it, don't worry. ”
Shen Qing's voice was light and calm, but the truth was not as relaxed as he appeared, the soil and rocks of this mountain were very loose, and he had to test several times before he could get down, even if he barely got down, the surrounding soil and rocks fell down.
He wasn't afraid in his heart, he was afraid that if he slipped and fell too hard, he would tear Gu Xingwei off.
He stared at the vine for a few breaths, then let go of a hand that was clinging to the rock wall, and withdrew the vine that he had untied to his waist with one hand. He tied a single section, which was not too tight, and it was not too troublesome to solve it now.
Gu Xingwei watched the vines keep shaking, thinking that something was happening, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, do you need help?"
Shen Qing's hand paused slightly, and then gently threw away the vines that had been unraveled.
"It's okay, it's not good here, I'll change directions. ”
Hearing Shen Qing say this, Gu Xingwei was relieved and simply sat down and waited for the result.
Seeing that Gu Xingwei didn't ask, Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief and continued to climb down. He climbed very slowly, and there were countless "little suns" shining in the sky, and he gradually felt a little dizzy in his mind.
Covering her face with her hair, Gu Xingwei, who was drowsy from the sun, woke up suddenly, she pulled the vine with her hand, this felt not right, she pulled it again, isn't it wrong, the end of the vine seems to have no weight.
She quickly stood up, pulled the vine back little by little, and pulled it to her head, where was Shen Qing's figure.
This discovery startled her, she was afraid that when she was distracted just now, Shen Qing fell, and she didn't find it.
She walked to the edge of the cliff and yelled, "Shen Qing, can you hear me?"
Gu Xingwei's voice was like a clear stream, which instantly cleared Shen Qing's chaotic mind a lot.
Shen Qing shook his head and cleared his dry voice, "I'm fine." ”
"Why did the vines come off, you hurry up and tie them up. ”
Gu Xingwei followed the direction of the voice, and the vines that were dropped, the vines landed just where Shen Qing could grab them as soon as he stretched out his hand.
Shen Qing looked at his hand that was burned with blisters, grabbed the vine and tied it to a stone beside him.
"Alright. ”
Gu Xingwei pulled, this time there was a feeling of pulling, well, that's right.
She continued to sit cross-legged on the ground with her coat on her head, thinking about life.
Shen Qing distinguished the direction, confirmed the place with the smell of plants, and slowly moved sideways.
A crack appeared in front of them, bigger than the one where they lived, and a person could enter at will.
Shen Qing stepped into the crack, carefully avoiding the flower stems on the ground, and squatted down to study it carefully.
The flower stem on the ground was about the thickness of a fist, and there was a dried and dead flower at the top, which should be the one Gu Xingwei saw.
The flowers are so large that the stems can't bear the weight and fall to the ground, and they shouldn't be able to stand up for a short time.
Shen Qing took a closer sniff, and carefully identified the lines of the flower stems, her face became ugly, and the girl would probably be very disappointed when she knew the news.
Shen Qing retreated from the crack in the stone, and it took another full hour to climb to the top of the mountain, and before going up the mountain, he tied the vine to his waist again.
The oncoming person made the disappointment in his heart lighten a lot, with that girl by his side, even if he has to be trapped here for a long time, he will not feel difficult.
"Well, can that plant really break the seal?"
"It's true, but ......" Hearing this, Gu Xingwei's expression was obviously a little nervous, Shen Qing sighed secretly, thinking that it was better to inform Gu Xingwei of things, otherwise the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, "That plant won't bloom in a short time." ”
Gu Xingwei breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she wasn't dead, everything was easy to say.
"How long will it take for it to bloom?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it will take about three hundred to five hundred years. ”
Gu Xingwei: "......"
Three hundred to five hundred years, my sister's apprentices are all dead.
Gu Xingwei sighed deeply, it's not that she looks down on her own apprentice, just Gu Zhu'er's virtue of loving refining weapons and not cultivating makes it more difficult for her to marry Dan than ascending to the sky, and Gu Xiao's soft temperament, I'm afraid that she can't even pass the torture of Zhuji's inner demons.
It's so sad.
"If there is one of these plants here, maybe there will be one somewhere else, and when we build our base camp and go around, we may be able to find another. ”
Gu Xingwei didn't believe it yet, she was so unlucky to meet a lonely product.
"The habit of this plant is to grow in sunny stone crevices, so we just look for places where there are stone crevices. ”
"Okay. I'm hungry, go back and eat. ”
Gu Xingwei and Shen Qing went all the way down the mountain, picked some fruits by the way, and broke some branches to prepare for transplanting near their homes.
Shen Qing was not as optimistic as Gu Xingwei, he was ready to stay in this ghost place for three or five hundred years.
Gu Xiao, one of the apprentices who was remembered by Gu Xingwei, had already smashed open the eagle wing, he moved a bush of thorns to block the hole, and every time before going out, he carefully pulled away the bushes and took a look, and saw that there was no danger around, so he quickly drank water to find food, and then quickly returned to the eagle wing, he didn't dare to leave too far, Yu Qiao was still dizzy, and he didn't have the ability to protect himself.
As soon as he applied the soaked cloth to Yu Qiao's forehead, Yu Qiao opened his eyes.
"You...... This is...... Where's your master?"
Gu Xiao's eyes darkened, "Master was chased by a big stone man and fell into the whirlpool, and I don't know if I live or die." ”
"Your master must have been in danger to save us, no, we have to save her. ”
"Uncle Yu, calm down, that whirlpool master can't get out if he falls, and it won't help us if we go. ”
Yu Qiao looked at Gu Xiao disapprovingly, "It's one thing to do it or not, it's another thing to do it or not, even if I go down and die, it's worthy of my conscience." ”
Gu Xiao looked at Yu Qiao and was silent for a long time.
When Gu Xingwei and the others returned to the bottom of the cliff, it was already close to evening, and the little sun hanging on the tip of the vine above their heads had already begun to retract.
The rich smell of blood drifted into the noses of the two of them along the wind, and the two tacitly quickened their pace, and then ...... I saw a scene that I will never forget.
The group of natives gathered in a circle to skin the rabbit, and after peeling the skin, they directly gnawed on the mouth.
Vomit...... If you don't agree with a word, you can't stand eating rabbits or something.
However, the group of people was quite conscious, and they didn't touch Gu Xingwei's rabbit, eating the gray rabbit that they didn't know where they caught.
When a woman saw Gu Xingwei and the others coming back, she came over with a rabbit skin, and babbled nonsense at Gu Xingwei, Gu Xingwei didn't understand, she only nodded politely, and then the woman happily took the rabbit skin and skewered it on the divided vine.
Gu Xingwei: "......"
