The early morning light pierced Chu Huai's eyes, waking him up who was still asleep, he opened his eyes, the distant sun was still too shy to dare to rise only a small part, his clothes had been soaked by the night dew, and the hands behind his head were numb to the point of being unconscious because he had not moved for a long time.

Chu Huai sat up and shook his hands, trying to make his hands recover quickly.

"Ah, it hurts." Chu Huai covered the back of his hand, snorted softly, and accidentally used too much force, causing his hand to smash on the rubble.

"Little boy." An old voice suddenly sounded.

Chu Huai followed the sound and stood up and looked downstairs, only to see Elder Bai standing in front of the building, holding a neatly folded piece of clothing in his hand, waving at him.

"Elder Bai, what's wrong?" He leapt and landed steadily in front of Elder Bai.

"The old man thought that you had been out all night, and that you would be wet with dew at dawn, so he brought you clean clothes." As he spoke, Elder Bai handed the clothes in his hand to Chu Huai's hand, "You better change them quickly, it won't be good if you get caught in the cold." ”

"Thank you Elder Bai, but I am a martial artist, my body is very strong, and besides, I am still a healer, so I will not be so easy to catch the cold."

"This is not good, this place is not as good as the Central Plains, it is better to be careful."

"Alright, I'll just put it on."

Elder Bai took Chu Huai's already damp clothes, turned his back on his hand, and walked out step by step: "By the way, the owner of the village said, you can go in and out of every place here at will. ”

"Elder Bai, please thank Master Forgiveness for me."

Even though Elder Bai's figure had disappeared around the corner, his voice still clearly reached Chu Huai's ears: "If you want to thank him, you can thank him yourself." ”

Feel free to come and go...... Chu Huai stood in place, since Elder Bai left, the whole building was quiet again, after experiencing something like yesterday, the mandarin duck should also be tired, presumably he shouldn't have woken up yet.

Anyway, being idle is idle, so it's better to go around.

Thinking like this, Chu Huai walked out in the direction that Elder Bai left.

"Lord Chu Gu, where are you going?" Just as Chu Huai was walking aimlessly, an unfamiliar voice came from behind him, which frightened him into a spirit, he didn't even feel anyone's approach, and he was really too relaxed.

Chu Huai turned around, and the man in green standing in front of him was the man in green who he had seen by Shu Shan's side yesterday, "It's Elder Green, do you know where Master Shu is?" ”

"The owner of the village? He has been in the refining room since last night, and the old man really hasn't seen the owner of the village until now. ”

"That's it, thank you."

After speaking, Chu Huai passed by Elder Green and walked out of the door.

It wasn't until he stood in the open space in front of the building where the mandarin duck was standing again that he suddenly realized, "I forgot to ask Elder Green where the refining room is." ”

The sun soon rose overhead, and it was rare for the god village to usher in a good weather, finally without the cold of the Central Plains, after a long time under the sun, and gradually became warm, Chu Huai went around and around the mansion for a long time, and finally found the refining room that Elder Green said, looking in from the window, you can see a huge stove placed in the middle of the whole room, and Shu Shan is sitting on the edge of the stove, talking to Elder Hei.

Looking at it from Chu Huai's angle, it was easy to see the blue and black under Shu Shan's eyes, probably because he hadn't slept all night, and Shu Shan looked a little haggard.

Chu Huai knocked on the door of the refining room, and the conversation between the two in the room came to an abrupt end.

"Is it Lord Chu Gu?" There was also the sound of footsteps from far and near.

"Master Shu, it's me."

The door was opened in front of Chu Huai, "Valley Lord, please come in." ”

"Is this where you usually refine Gu?" Chu Huai looked at the furnishings in the whole room curiously, except for the stove in the center of the room, surrounded by cabinets on three sides, and the cabinets were full of all kinds of Gu worms packed in transparent jars, some of which Chu Huai knew, but more of them he had never seen.

"Not exactly, the valley lord should come and sit here." Shu Shan sat down next to Elder Hei again, pulled a cushion and placed it beside him, and patted the position.

"There are a lot of Gu worms here."

"If the Lord of Chu Gu likes it, you can take some."

"Don't do it, I'm not particularly good at using Gu yet."

"The valley master is humble, you are still very talented."

"Speaking of which, is this the furnace you used to refine the Seven Lives Gu?"

"Exactly, but the situation doesn't look very rosy." Shu Shan looked at the stove in front of him without moving, his face full of worry.

"Forgive the master for saying this."

"These few days are the last deadline, and the sacrifice ceremony is coming soon, if it doesn't succeed, then the year's efforts will be in vain."

"During the sacrificial ceremony, the elders in other villages will bring new Gu symbolizing their clan, if we can't refine the Seven Life Gu this year, our clan will really die." Elder Black interjected on the side.

"Black Elder! How did you say that! Shu Shan first glanced at Elder Hei reproachfully, and then said to Chu Huai with a smile, "I'm sorry, Lord Chu Gu, this is originally our own business, and we shouldn't have involved you too." ”

"Master Shu, there is actually one thing, I have been wondering, should I tell you." Chu Huai lowered his head, and was very entangled in his heart, whether to tell Shushan about this, he helped himself so much, and told himself so many things in their village that they would never say to outsiders, but he had been hiding the purpose of coming to this place with Mandarin Duck.

"But it doesn't hurt if you say it, if it's something that can help, just say it."

"It's about the Seven Lives Gu." Chu Huai scratched his head, "What should I say, it's that apprentice, Mandarin Duck, she has a person she likes very much, but that person doesn't like her, by chance, she knows about the Seven Lives Gu, so she asked me to bring her to find the Seven Lives Gu." ”

"Liking is a matter of two people, how can you rely on Qisheng Gu to get someone who doesn't like you? Besides, putting aside whether it can be refined or not, just the negative effects of the Seven Lives Gu, the Mandarin Duck girl should also know about it. ”

"This is natural, it's just for some reason that she chooses this way, and my apprentice is a dead brain, and she has identified a person, even if she dies, she has to get him."

Shu Shan pondered for a while, put away his usual smile, and looked at Chu Huai with some embarrassment: "Lord Chu Gu, with the friendship between you and me, if you want the Seven Lives Gu, just say it, and Xiao Sheng will give it to you, but unfortunately, even we ourselves can't have the Seven Lives Gu, but if we can really succeed this time, after this sacrifice ceremony, you can take it." ”

"Master Shu, if you need anything from me, please feel free to say that we in Huaihua Valley are willing to provide you with any medicinal herbs you want." Shu Shanhui said this, which Chu Huai didn't expect, he thought that Shu Shanhui would refuse very simply, but he didn't expect that he would ask nothing, so he agreed. In addition to being moved, Chu Huai's heart was only grateful.

When you go back, you must bring the mandarin duck to thank Master Shu in person.

Shu Shan could only smile bitterly: "This time, even if it is for the sake of the valley master, Xiao Sheng will definitely try his best to refine the Seven Life Gu." ”
