Chapter 003: You Are More Horizontal Than Me

"Knock~knock~knock, knock~~~"

Gu Jialuo's ears moved, and the faint sound of bells in the mountain breeze around him was about to start a new day's morning class.

When Gu Jialuo had not yet traveled to the afterlife, he had followed his mother to temples and nunnery to offer incense, and had stayed overnight in those places, knowing that they would do morning classes on time every morning, regardless of whether they were monks or nuns.

And it was with the faint sound of the bell in the distance that Gu Jialuo clearly confirmed the loss of time. After all, staying in such a ghost place as Jingxinzhai, there are no windows, no sound, not even a little light, and naturally you can't see the sun, let alone count the days.

"It's already two minutes (i.e., 04:30), and it's a new day."

Gu Jialuo stretched, took out the skirt, and gently tied a knot. Today is the third day she has woken up, and the first day she is ready to start fighting.

Gu Jialuo licked her lips that were cracked and cracked, and silently counted in her heart - the nuns in Tieji'an have about half an hour every morning class, that is, an hour, an hour and sixty minutes, a minute and sixty seconds, and after she has counted three thousand six hundred, in another ten minutes, a nun will come to bring her food.

Gu Jialuo closed her eyes, in order not to burden her throat (people who haven't drunk water for two days can't afford to hurt), she only gently squirmed her lips and counted silently.

"One, two...... One hundred, one hundred and one...... One thousand, one thousand and one...... Three thousand, three thousand and one ......", in the endless darkness, Gu Jialuo was extremely calm, mastering the frequency of counting, and striving to time accurately.

When she finally counted the number three thousand six hundred, she opened her eyes, tucked the knotted skirt back under her armpits, made her hair more messy, got up gently, knelt down, and crawled forward cautiously a few steps, and only after making sure that she was far from the wall did she lay flat and lay on the ground very unfiguredly.

The cool bluestone floor touches the warm skin, and it feels a little cool, which is extremely refreshing in the extremely hot summer season.

"Hehe, this saves the ice basin and air conditioning." Gu Jialuo thought bitterly.

It didn't take long for the faint sound of footsteps to come from the empty corridor, Gu Jialuo's ears couldn't help but move again, and a flash of excitement flashed in her eyes: It's coming! Whether you can leave meditation and fasting depends on today!

The footsteps gradually approached, Gu Jialuo lowered his head, directly pressed his cheeks to the ground, the muscles of his limbs relaxed, if the light in the stone room was sufficient, anyone who looked at Gu Jialuo's state would also think that she had lost her body (or spirit) and passed out.

Gu Jialuo closed his eyes and listened hard-

The footsteps stopped, and then there was a crisp 'click', Gu Jialuo thought, this should be the sound of unlocking, and then there was a muffled 'boom', well, this is the sound of the stone door opening.

Gu Jialuo quietly lifted a slit in his eyelids.

It didn't take long for two orange lights and shadows to slowly float in, and after staying in the dark world for a few days, Gu Jialuo's eyes had adapted to this environment, and suddenly a bright light came in, although it was not very bright, but it still made her can't help but close her eyes.

"Huh? What about people? ”

At the head came a sturdy nun in her twenties and thirties, holding a torch in her hand, and slowly dangling in front of her, the light of which flashed in the space in a radius of more than a dozen paces in front of her.

"Huiming, what are you doing?" Followed by the strong nun was a petite nun, also about twenty-five or sixteen years old, who also carried a torch in her hand, but in the other hand she carried a half-new suitcase.

"Hui Xuan, the person is gone!" The strong nun named Huiming had a bit of surprise and surprise in her tone, and turned her head to her junior sister and said, "Come here quickly, let's look for it together." ”

Hui Ming was not worried that Gu Jialuo would escape from the stone room, but felt that it was too dark inside, and a single torch in her hand could not illuminate the entire room. In order to find someone earlier, it is better for two people to work together.

With a bang, Hui Xuan angrily put the food box on the ground, and muttered in her mouth: "This Grandma Gu is really annoying, she kept screaming and scolding for two days when she first came in, and before she stopped for a few days, she began to turn around the house again." Hmph, she's not afraid to fall out of the hole in the corner. You know, this meditation is built on a cliff, hundreds of zhang deep below, if you accidentally fall, your life will not be saved. ”

"~ It's really a cliff down here, which big BT designed this place, it's really special BT!" Gu Jialuo, who was lying on the ground with her cheeks on the ground, couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth in her heart, she narrowed her eyes, turned her gaze slightly, and tried her best to look around.

Coincidentally, Gu Jialuo lay down casually, her head was facing away from the door, and two rays of light were cast behind her, and she could just follow the firelight to see the world in front of her.

Before Gu Jialuo could take a closer look, the two nuns had already spotted her.

“…… It's really uneasy, no wonder he was sent to the Iron Threshold Temple. Huiming's tone was full of disdain, and he walked up in a few big strides, unceremoniously kicked the 'unconscious' Gu Jialuo, and shouted: "Grandma Gu, Grandma Gu, it's time to get up and eat!" ”

Hui Xuan followed up with a food box, stuck a torch on the stone wall not far away, opened the food box, and brought out a plate of pickles, a plate of black coarse grain steamed buns, and a bowl of vegetable porridge with clear soup and little water.

Hui Xuan took out a rough teapot from the food box, and a coarse porcelain tea bowl, although it was a teapot, it was not tea leaves, but raw water directly from the well.

"Oh, Grandma Gu, what time is it, you haven't gotten up yet? Why, if you want the poor nuns to 'serve' you, you can't do it? ”

Huiming kicked several times in succession, but the people on the ground seemed to be dead, and there was no movement at all. She was not a good-tempered person, and in the past few days, because she had been delivering food to Gu Jialuo, she had not been able to eat properly after her morning class, and she had accumulated a fire in her belly.

Seeing that Gu Jialuo was still 'playing with his temper' at this time, Hui Ming became more and more annoyed, and said sarcastic words in his mouth, but the person squatted down, reached out and grabbed Gu Jialuo's clothes, and with a force of his wrist, he actually lifted her upper body.

A hideous sneer flashed on Hui Ming's lips, and he raised his other hand and pulled it towards Gu Jialuo's face.

Gu Jialuo had already guarded against it, how could she let Hui Ming succeed lightly, she quickly tilted her head to the side, and Hui Ming's slap was wrapped in a whirring cool breeze and brushed her ears.

Huiming's strength was very strong, and under the action of inertia, her whole person rushed forward. The hand that grabbed Gu Jialuo's shirt couldn't help but let go, and he staggered and was about to fall on Gu Jialuo's body.

Saying that it was too late, Gu Jialuo hurriedly rolled to the side, dodging Huiming's strong body. While rolling his body, Gu Jialuo looked at the target, raised his legs, and slammed his foot on Huiming's big cake face.

"Ouch~"

Hui Ming slapped the air, and failed to stabilize his body in time, Gu Jia Luo dodged again, seeing that his face was about to smash to the ground, he couldn't help but panic, waving his hands to support the ground, suddenly, his eyes were dark, and there was a sharp pain in his nose, and then two streams of warm liquid flowed out of his nostrils.

Huiming was so pained that tears came out, and he subconsciously wanted to touch his nose, but forgot to hold the ground...... With a pop, Huiming fell to the ground solidly!

"Huiming! Y-Are you alright? ”

Hui Xuan was shocked, dropped the food box and ran to see Hui Ming.

Huiming fell a little hard, for a while, his head was a little dizzy, and the only thing that could still move his whole body was his mouth, only to hear her cry out at first, and after reacting, he began to curse the 'culprit' repeatedly: "Okay, you Qi Gu clan, you have all entered Jingxin Zhai, and you are so arrogant, you dare to beat someone?" ”

Gu Jialuo hit the blow immediately, hurriedly flashed to the side, and sneered: "Okay, you old thief, my mother added so much sesame oil money to you before leaving, and you dare to treat me like this?" Qi Gu's? Qi Gu's is also what a slut like you can call? ”

Hui Xuan carefully checked Hui Ming's injuries and was relieved to see that she was only bleeding from her nose and abrasions on her elbows and knees, and there was nothing serious.

Hearing Gu Jialuo's words, she couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "Yo, Grandma Gu thinks we are vulgar, why don't you serve people with the maids in your house?" Hmph, Grandma Gu, 'Those who know the times are Junjie', you are not in the Guogong Mansion now, but in the Iron Threshold Nunnery-"

Huiming covered her nose, turned over and got up from the ground, and wanted to beat Gu Jialuo violently to get angry, but thinking of the words of the nunnery, she still endured it. But this evil breath couldn't be out, she spit out the blood foam in her mouth, and said viciously: "Huixuan, what nonsense are you talking to her." Since Grandma Gu doesn't look down on us to serve, we don't have to beg in front of the nobles. This meal must not be able to enter your mouth. ”

As she spoke, she hurried towards the food box, ready to trample the food - for you to eat, for you to eat...... Phew, I'm starving you today, see if you still have the strength to hit someone!

Gu Jialuo's movements were faster, rushing to the front before Hui Ming, kicking away the plates of food, and said hatefully: "This kind of rice, pigs and dogs don't eat it, my aunt and grandmother would rather starve to death than let you old thieves and nuns be humiliated!" ”

PS: I almost forgot that today is Christmas Eve, a certain Sa wishes my dear relatives a happy holiday, a lifetime of peace and health, O(∩_∩)O~
