Chapter 67: A Place to Shelter
Jun Qianli didn't dare to come out, staring directly at the person who was suspected of being a soldier, and that person was also staring at Jun Qianli motionlessly.
Because of the darkness of the night, Jun Qianli couldn't see the man's expression clearly, but he had a strange feeling, as if the person opposite... Not a living person.
After being silent for a long time, Jun Qianli swallowed his saliva and slowly got up.
He cautiously approached the soldier, all on guard, ready to respond to any eventuality.
He was getting closer and closer to that person, but he was still indifferent, as if he couldn't see Jun Qianli's existence.
One step away from the strange soldier, Jun Qianli stopped, he mustered up his courage, stretched out his right hand, and patted the man's shoulder like a greeting.
However, under Jun Qianli's slap, the soldier fell straight to the side and fell directly to the ground.
A terrifying scene appeared in an instant, and the body was like glass falling to the ground, and it fell apart in an instant, revealing a huge gray stone behind him.
And the broken corpse, there was not a trace of blood flowing out, it seemed that the blood in his body had already been drained and disappeared without a trace.
A gust of wind blew, and the soldier who had turned into pieces seemed to be weathered, turning into ashes, including his military uniform and hat, all turned into dust and drifted away with the wind.
Jun Qianli raised his hands like a fool and froze in place, an endless chill rose in his heart, his hairs stood on end, and his mind unconsciously appeared Shen Wan's grandfather's dying words:
"Get out of here, get out of here... Qingru Town, the farther you run, the better! I'm in the mountains... Saw a monster... Cannibalistic... Monster!"
Jun Qianli looked at all this, and then looked at the darkness in the distance, and an inexplicable fear rose in his heart, "What kind of monster, what kind of monster is this!"
The east gradually turned white, and the night finally passed, and the day was about to be ushered in.
Jun Qianli suppressed the endless panic rising in his heart, discerned the direction in the dark, and quickly ran towards the east with Shen Wan.
Fleeing there is really safe, escaping there, there is the possibility of recovering his injuries, as long as he can recover his strength, then all problems will no longer be a problem.
......
......
Here is a dense pine forest, pine trees about three feet high, standing side by side, covering the entire mountain;
The trees are covered with pine cones, densely packed, and at a glance they look like countless small yellow towers, dotted in the sea of green.
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the pine needles, sprinkling dapples;
The mountain wind blows, the branches and leaves make a rattling sound, as if telling a sad story, and the whole forest exudes a musty smell.
Jun Qianli carried Shen Wan on his back and slowly stepped into the pine forest, his feet stepped on the thick pine needles, making a creaking sound, as if stepping on snow, he walked step by step towards the depths of the forest.
I don't know how long I walked, and I don't know how far I walked, but I finally found a low cave about two meters high and one meter wide in the depths of the dense forest.
He put Shen Wan at the entrance of the cave, and he cautiously stepped into it, there were many forks in the road, turning around, but it was gradually becoming spacious, and when Jun Qianli came to the end, it was a different world.
It is a large space the size of a foot, and there is a natural crack in the roof of the cave, which lets in a little sunlight and makes it not look dim.
Jun Qianli's heart flashed with excitement and satisfaction, this is the perfect hiding place.
......
After three days of walking and running, Jun Qianli finally completely stayed away from Qingru Town.
The Forest of Spiritual Source in the distance was already looming, as long as he was given time, it would be a matter of time before he stepped into it.
But now Jun Qianli is a little powerless, he feels that his Dao injury has reached the point where it cannot be suppressed, if he can't heal it as soon as possible, then he may really not be able to recover for the rest of his life.
Looking at Qingru Town, which had disappeared behind him, Jun Qianli finally made up his mind to find a way to recover from his injuries first.
After probing the surroundings to make sure that everything was safe, Jun Qianli went out and hugged Shen Wan in, picked up some dead branches, made a fire, and then went out of the cave.
He wanted to catch some game, although he was a mortal immortal and didn't need to eat every day, but Shen Wan was a mortal after all, and mortals needed to eat.
Although Shen Wan has been in a coma for the past three days, Jun Qianli knows that she is about to wake up, and she will definitely be hungry when she wakes up after she has not eaten for a few days.
After working for a long time, all the arrangements were finally made, looking at Shen Wan, who was still sleeping, Jun Qianli sat cross-legged next to him, slowly running his mind, ready to check his injuries.
But as soon as I ran the mental method, I was pleasantly surprised to 'see' that there were countless points of light floating in this cave, and those points of light represented the aura, which could only be seen when I stepped into the qi realm.
The aura here is countless times thicker than outside.
Doubts flashed in his heart, but when he scanned the entire cave, a little realization flashed in his eyes.
This cave, narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, is like half a gourd, lying on the ground, and the top of the mountain opens a line of sky, forming a subtle cycle with the mouth of the gourd, and it can achieve a small range of spirit gathering effect, but this natural blessed land, why is no one living there!
Jun Qianli couldn't figure it out, so he had to put aside this idea for the time being.
He carefully pulled the surrounding spiritual energy into his body, and with the influx of spiritual energy, bursts of piercing pain spread throughout his body in an instant.
Jun Qianli couldn't help frowning slightly, and let out a painful snort, but the speed of absorbing the aura did not slow down in the slightest.
But with the influx of aura, Jun Qianli's brows became tighter and tighter, and anxiety and despair flashed on his face.
I saw that after the aura entered Jun Qianli's body, it was not refined and repaired itself, but went in and walked around, and then returned to heaven and earth again.
His body already had Dao wounds, and the previous consumption of all his spiritual power when resisting crossbow arrows had caused the Dao wounds in his body to lose their spiritual power suppression and have completely deteriorated.
Now, his body could not contain the aura, as if it had become a funnel with countless small holes, and after the aura entered, it didn't have time to be refined, so it directly overflowed again.
Jun Qianli did not give up, and accelerated the speed of absorbing spiritual energy, but the influx of a large amount of spiritual energy was exchanged for more intense pain.
His body was trembling, his teeth were chattering, his brows were about to be together, and beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead, but his body did not improve even the slightest.
Finally, Jun Qianli chose to give up, he opened his eyes, looked into the distance lonely, and muttered to himself in his heart, "Is it true that God is going to kill me?"
In Qingru Town, he has Shen Yi's healing, and the Dao injury has been perfectly suppressed, as long as he is given enough time to refine the spirit into the body, it will be a matter of time before he recovers, but now he has encountered bandits.
This couldn't help but make him fall into confusion again.
"Grandpa, grandpa!" When Jun Qianli was in a daze, Shen Wan's mournful cry sounded beside her, her face was full of tears, she sat up suddenly, and grabbed her hands helplessly forward, as if she wanted to catch the figure in her dream.
"You're awake!" Jun Qianli put down the distracting thoughts in his heart, stepped over to Shen Wan's side, helped her up, and spoke with concern.
"Grandpa...... Isn't it...... It's gone!" Shen Wan turned her head and looked at Jun Qianli helplessly, her eyes were empty, full of extreme sadness, and she asked as low as a dream.
"I will avenge my grandfather!" Jun Qianli felt a pain in his heart, and he didn't dare to look directly into Shen Wan's eyes, he lowered his head and said firmly.
Thinking that Shen Yi died in front of him, he didn't kill those hateful villains to avenge him, Jun Qianli's heart was full of self-blame and guilt.
"You can avenge grandpa, why don't you protect grandpa, even if you take revenge, I have already lost my grandfather, the pain of losing my relatives, do you understand, can you understand?" Shen Wan raised her hand and slapped Jun Qianli as if she had lost her mind, crying and shouting hysterically, as if she wanted to vent all the sorrow and pain in her heart.
"Mourn and change!" Jun Qianli did not dodge, nor did he retreat, let alone stop Shen Wan.
He looked at her calmly, hiding the sadness in his eyes deeply, from the moment he was the only one left in the Jun family, he did not allow himself to have this kind of emotion again.
"Don't always look like you don't care, do you understand this mood, you don't understand, you won't understand, you haven't experienced the despair and pain of losing a loved one, why do you let me mourn and change!" Shen Wan looked at Jun Qianli's calm appearance, and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in her heart, raised her hand and pushed him away, and then bent her body slightly, clasped her hands on her knees, buried her head between her legs, and cried in pain.
"I understand! I understand your feelings" Jun Qianli spoke softly, muttering in a voice that could only be heard by himself, he thought of everything in the Jun family, and the pain in his heart rushed out uncontrollably, and it had faintly overwhelmed the pain outside his body.
This pain is deep in the bone marrow, deep into the soul, and cannot be contained and relieved.
After a long time, Jun Qianli's mood gradually calmed down, he looked at Shen Wan, who was still crying, as if he remembered something, and slowly moved the fire between them.
Beneath the fire was soft ground, and as if he was not afraid of the heat, he ripped open the ground with his bare hands, and buried in the ground was a bulging oval clod of earth.
He dug out the clod of earth and gently snorted it, and in an instant a strong fragrance escaped and filled the entire cave in an instant.
Shen Wan sniffled and secretly looked at Jun Qianli, who was busy.
I saw that in the mud bag in front of him, a white and yellow pheasant was revealed, and the aroma was fragrant, which could not help but make people appetite.
Smelling this pungent fragrance, Shen Wan's stomach also came with a 'cooing' sound, she instantly buried her head, and her pretty face flushed.
In the past few days of being in a coma, she hasn't eaten anything, so it's no wonder that she's not hungry.
Jun Qianli looked at Shen Wan's appearance, smiled slightly, tore off a chicken leg with his right hand, and handed it over.
