Chapter VIII: Crisis
Hearing what Chunting said, everyone's expressions couldn't help but show a trace of nervousness.
It's no wonder that whether it is cultivation or knowledge, Chunting is undoubtedly the top existence in our group, everyone knows in their hearts that there are endless secrets hidden in his body, and his experience and stories are far from what we can imagine.
Therefore, even Yihe, who has always been inconsistent with Chunting, has already admitted that as long as it is something that Chunting identifies, it is basically a certainty, and there will never be any mistakes and omissions.
But now, when facing the mysterious eyes on this red heart candle, even Chunting will feel frightened and uneasy.
That only proves that these eyes are not randomly carved here, there must be a story in them that we don't know, and there must be endless dangers.
This unknown danger made even the Chunting Pavilion, which had existed as early as the Tang Dynasty, unable to confirm whether it could be successfully resolved.
Obviously, it is precisely because this unknown danger has disrupted all our previous plans, so everyone at this moment is confused and uneasy about this exploration, and their expressions are different, and they are silent.
It seems that this Black Rock City is indeed a tiger's den in Longtan, a place like a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, we have just come here, and we have not yet started to explore, and we actually feel such a serious crisis.
Just when everyone was worried, Chunting spoke again, and there was a rare warning in his tone.
"Since we are companions, we can accept that we leave here without any gain, but we must not accept that someone will stay here forever, so no matter what, everyone must ensure their own safety and make sure that everyone can leave here safely."
Perhaps sensing that everyone's attitude was too nervous now, Chunting changed his words and began to explain to us in a soft tone.
"But don't be too nervous, maybe it's just that I'm worried, we don't seek merit this time, but we want no fault, as long as we hold this mentality, even if there is no gain, at least there will be no excessive damage."
"In short, everyone relaxes first, with everyone's current state, it is inevitable that they will be timid in the face of emergencies, and they will not be able to give full play to their original strength, I just want everyone to be more careful, and I never want to completely lose their fighting spirit because of the words just now."
At this time, the only person who can still have no worries may be Shen Lang, who has just made great achievements.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you all know that I am about to fall into a state of weakness for two hours, but even though I am about to become like that, I have no worries about the next exploration, you are not as good as me, who is about to become a cripple, right?"
Seeing everyone's current state and hearing Chunting's words, Shen Lang immediately took over Chunting's words, and smiled and encouraged everyone.
"Brother Ting just said the worst result first, but we may not really encounter such a bad thing, and even if we really encounter such a thing, it may not necessarily encounter the worst outcome, and we are so uneasy about what did not happen, what is this not unfounded?"
Looking at everyone's thoughtful appearance, Shen Lang hurriedly added a fire and said to everyone pretending to be pitiful.
"Besides, I just became a hero once, but I'm about to become half crippled, if you look like this, then what should I do, I have no ability to protect myself for a while, you can't treat my life-saving benefactor like this, you must take me out of Black Rock City safely."
Seeing Shen Lang's current appearance, a smile finally appeared on my face.
If anyone else says that Shen Lang is stupid, then let him see what Shen Lang looks like now, and he will definitely change his cognition.
There is no doubt that Shen Lang is smart, after Chunting's warning just now, he knows that everyone is worried about the safety of this exploration, even if Chunting's soft tone is useless to enlighten again, so Shen Lang cooperated with Chunting and used another attitude to ease everyone's uneasiness.
And this so-called other way is exactly what Shen Lang is good at.
Through this spoofing and ridicule, the current serious atmosphere has been invisibly alleviated, and Shen Lang has indeed just succeeded in recovering everyone's five senses, so although everyone doesn't say it, they have a gratitude to him in their hearts.
Therefore, after Shen Lang mentioned that he was about to fall into two hours of weakness, whether it was out of the psychology of protecting his companions or out of gratitude to his life-saving benefactor, everyone must want to ensure Shen Lang's safety, and the premise of protecting Shen Lang is that each of them first overcomes their own fears.
Obviously, when people are afraid, they can't even ensure their own safety, how can they protect others?
It was in this way that Shen Lang first relieved the serious atmosphere with laughter, and then let everyone admit his kindness just now and protect him strictly, so that everyone could overcome their fear and restore their usual mentality.
Chun Ting could naturally see what Shen Lang was doing, only to see that his eyes were full of admiration and looked at Shen Lang, but he didn't say anything, and then he looked at everyone and echoed Shen Lang in his mouth.
"What Shen Lang said is right, since he has just recovered the five senses for us, then we naturally want to take him out of here safely, and if we want to protect Shen Lang, the first thing we have to do is to adjust our state and ensure that we can give full play to our cultivation 100% when an accident occurs."
"Okay, Chunting, don't talk about double reeds here Shen Lang, we understand."
After Shen Lang's spoofing just now, everyone's emotions were alleviated to a certain extent, and Xue Nan couldn't help but respond to Chunting after hearing his words.
"Whether it's unfounded or real, we can't sit still, no matter what happens, we can only face it, and after figuring this out, we already know what to do."
After hearing Xue Nan's words, Ling Xuan also took a step forward, and that uninhibited smile appeared on his face again, and his tone was full of arrogance and pride that belonged to him.
"Brother Ting, I also understand, fear can't solve the problem, if we can't get rid of fear, then it can only speed up our failure, along the way, I have experienced thorns and ups and downs with you, and I have also crossed the sea of swords and fires with you, I don't believe that there are any difficulties that we can't overcome."
Seeing the way everyone looked now, I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.
No matter what kind of crisis we will encounter ahead, as long as there is such a group of people, it seems that everything is no longer an obstacle.
