Chapter 13: A cry for help in the woods
After leaving the Taoist temple, Gu Li stood at the foot of the mountain, looking blankly at the familiar environment around him.
Have you been kicked out of the school?
No, no, the master asked me to go outside and have a look for myself.
After shaking his head and shaking off his thoughts, Gu Li began to ponder.
The first is which direction you should go.
The second is what the master said when he was just about to leave.
"This world was originally very small, but suddenly it changed so much overnight that I didn't even know the teacher." With the meaningful gaze of his master in his mind, Gu Li frowned lightly and muttered, "The world has changed a lot? ”
"How big is it that you don't know Shizun?"
After standing at the foot of the mountain and thinking for a while, Gu Li gave up, picked up a branch and threw it into the sky, and then after seeing the direction it was pointing, he carried a cloth bag and a scabbard on his back and began to walk in the direction it was pointing.
It's all about it!
The three people standing on the top of the mountain, after seeing Gu Li's actions, Qing Xun smiled and said to Qing Yuanzi who was standing in front: "Little junior brother doesn't seem to know where to go. ”
"The little junior brother is so pitiful..."Qing Song looked at the back of his little junior brother and whispered.
"Why does only the teacher think that it is the best choice for your little junior brother to leave here?" Qing Yuanzi turned his head and sighed slightly: "Do you know how many meridians Li'er has opened?" ”
Qingxun and Qingsong glanced at each other, and both shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.
"He opened forty-nine meridians."
Ignoring the shock of his two apprentices, Qing Yuanzi looked at the smaller and smaller back in the distance and said in a condensed voice: "Since the establishment of my Taoist Qingmai, the ancestors who have opened the most meridians in the known classics are only thirty-six. ”
"Since that day, as a teacher, I have had the idea of letting him go out to see the world, but I thought that his cultivation was still weak, so I have been pressing it until now."
Listening to the tone of their master, Qing Xun and Qing Song fell silent.
They knew that their master was reluctant to let go of the little junior brother, but the talent of the little junior brother was so good that as a master, they couldn't watch it go to waste, so they made this decision painfully.
Let him walk the world by himself!
...
Gu Li, who left, naturally didn't know the conversation between his master and his senior brothers.
From morning to noon, he walked on a mountain road, so he didn't even have a figure all the way.
"Master, this casual fate is a bit exaggerated..."
Gu Li looked up at the dense branches, the surrounding trees were dense, and if you looked closely, you could still see some mountain roads.
But the grass has begun to grow on these mountain roads, indicating that no one has walked it for a long time.
With a tap on his toes, Gu Li jumped on the top of the tree, looked at the surrounding environment intently, and found that there were trees all around, and he suddenly became helpless.
"Why don't you go back the way you came."
Gu Li sighed, finally gave up the idea, and continued to walk along this mountain road with subtle traces.
Hiss~
A brightly colored poisonous snake hid in the grass, and its cold snake pupils looked closely at Gu Li, who was getting closer and closer, and its soft body bent slightly.
When he was still a meter away from Gu Li, his body instantly bounced off and shot towards Gu Li, and a snake mouth grew, revealing two sharp fangs.
However, Gu Li, who had been walking forward, didn't even stop, and his right hand quickly stretched out and grabbed the snake's neck.
The snake's body stiffened, the snake's body wrapped around its right arm, and the venom kept falling to the ground along the fangs.
"I have a clear grudge, if you want to bite me, then I can't bite back too much, right?" Gu Li looked at the poisonous snake, nodded with satisfaction, and the lunch was over.
The company of the hand poison snake on the next journey didn't seem to be lonely at all, which made Gu Li's pace slow down, and he carefully looked at the situation around him.
Small insect chirps sounded in the distance, and occasionally small animals crawled quickly through the grass.
This forest will feel alive as soon as you calm down.
But vitality is not a good thing, mainly because there seem to be a lot of poisonous snakes.
Gu Li looked at the three dead poisonous snakes in his hands, and after thinking for a while, he was about to make lunch, when his ears suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look in a certain direction.
He seemed to hear someone calling for help.
"Help..."
The voice was very weak, and ordinary people couldn't hear it at all, but Gu Li had the blessing of spiritual power, and he could hear it clearly, and his figure quickly walked towards the distance.
The poisonous snake that was lying in ambush on the grass or trees, just raised its head and was about to attack, when it suddenly disappeared in front of it, and after a moment's pause, it lowered its head again.
Ten seconds later, Gu Li's eyes lit up, and he walked out of the woods, and a small stream appeared in front of him.
The corners of a wild wolf's mouth were stained with blood, and he stared fiercely at the man who fell to the ground in front of him, and then noticed Gu Lihou and made an attack gesture.
However, the beast's instinct told it that the human in front of it was not to be messed with, so it kept attacking and roared in a low voice.
"Help me..."When he saw Gu Li, the eyes of the man who had fallen to the ground and his arm had been bleeding were full of pleading.
"It's kind of compensation.."
Throwing two of the three poisonous snakes in his hand in front of the wild wolf, Gu Li calmly walked towards the man.
The wild wolf looked at Gu Li vigilantly, looked at the two poisonous snake corpses in front of him, and saw Gu Li with his back to him, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he quickly rushed towards him.
Turning around slightly, his eyes narrowed, and the momentum that had been hidden in his whole body leaked slightly.
"Whew..."
With a wail, the wild wolf looked at Gu Li in fear, and ran towards the woods as soon as he turned around.
"Isn't it good to hold those two snakes obediently..."
Helplessly looking at the wild wolf that ran away, Gu Li turned around and found that the man was unconscious.
...
"Wolves . . . Wolves..."
Hu Su's eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened and screamed in horror, but he was stunned when he saw the situation around him.
"Are you awake?"
Gu Li sat by the fire, saw Hu Su wake up, nodded lightly and said, "Let's eat something." ”
Confused to take the roast snake, Hu Su suddenly woke up, looked at the sky, found that it was already afternoon, and said in horror: "It's almost dark, run!" ”
Looking thoughtfully at Hu Su, who was covered in dirty clothes, Gu Li picked up a grilled fish, took a bite and said, "Why do you want to run?" ”
"You, you're the Taoist!?"
Hu Su, who was originally panicked, saw Gu Li dressed in a Taoist robe, as if he had seen a savior, and approached Gu Li a little closer and said, "Dao Chief, can you save Hu Jiazhuang!?" ”
"There is something in Hujiazhuang..."
An unpleasant smell hit, Gu Li stayed away a little slightly, and said calmly: "Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly." ”
"Hey, okay."
Maybe meeting Gu Li made him feel very relieved, and Hu Su's emotions were not as excited as just now, but he said in a very hurried tone: "I am from Hujiazhuang, ten miles away, and have lived there for more than thirty years. ”
"But some time ago, all the chickens in Hujiazhuang were bitten to death, and even the blood was sucked dry."
"Of course we can't just leave it at that, so all the able-bodied guys gathered in one place that night, intending to catch the thief."
"And then... I saw a corpse that had been dead for many years, jumping up and down..."
