The huge source of the West River, if you want to find someone, it is no less than *** to find a needle, what worries Gu Chen even more is that if Fan Xi's life is lying to himself, then his trip will really be in vain, although he looked at Fan Xi's life at the time, it doesn't seem like he was lying to himself, but, there is no absolute, there is always a case.

Moreover, he still has one more trouble now, and that is Erhua.

As a cultivator, Gu Chen's eating and sleeping has long been a dispensable thing, but Erhua is just an ordinary person, she needs to eat to replenish her strength, she needs to sleep to restore her energy, if she doesn't rest for ten days and a half like him, she will definitely not be able to support it.

Night had completely fallen, and seeing that Erhua was already tired, Gu Chen stopped in a mountain forest.

"Erhua, will you make a fire?"

This was the first thing the two of them said after leaving the village, Erhua looked a little nervous, she nodded hurriedly, and said, "My lord, Erhua will be." ”

Gu Chen wrinkled his forehead, "Don't call me sir." ”

"But that's what Grandpa shouted. ”

"It's different, my surname is Gu, you can call me Big Brother Gu. ”

"That's not good, you're an adult, Erhua can't shout like that, or I'll call you young master." ”

It's just a title, Gu Chen didn't care, he looked around and said, "It's convenient for you, you start a fire here first, and I'll go get something to fill my stomach." ”

Gu Chen's words landed, and Erhua saw that he just walked into the forest in one step, and disappeared without a trace, and was stunned by this scene for a while.

......

On the fire, a fat rabbit was flowing with oil, and Erhua was carefully playing with it, while secretly observing the ancient dust sitting on the side.

Although Erhua behaved like a good girl along the way, the curiosity in her heart was pressed in her heart.

What is the origin of this ancient dust, and why does grandpa call him adult?

He is so young, why is he with white hair, is he sick?

Also, Isn't he interested in women?

Although Erhua was born in a small mountain village and has no knowledge, she is by no means a person who does not understand the things between men and women, especially living in this village environment, and she is familiar with the fact that men are the so-called pillars, they are responsible for the food at home, and women have to serve them well, and they have to fight to serve them.

In this situation now, a lonely man and a widow are alone in the mountains, if they were replaced by people in the village, I am afraid that they would have started to do something to her a long time ago, but Gu Chen did not react at all, and he was kneeling on the ground, like a sculpture.

Aren't you good enough?

Erhua couldn't help but have some doubts about her charm, but then she denied it, because she was the village flower of Shili Eight Villages, and she was still very confident in her charm, so she had another guess at the moment.

Isn't Gu Chen?

This thought suddenly popped up in his heart, and Erhua became more and more sure, it must be, he had gray hair at a young age, and he must have been sick, and as a result, he couldn't be the same as a normal man.

Thinking of this, Erhua's eyes began to be full of sympathy when she looked at Gu Chen, it was really pitiful to have this disease at a young age.

Erhua's small movements, how could Gu Chen not notice the change in his gaze staring at his face, so that he couldn't continue to meditate, and couldn't help but say, "What's the matter, is there anything on my face?"

As if she had been caught peeping, facing Gu Chen's suddenly opened eyes, Erhua's face turned red instantly, and she said nervously, "No, it's nothing." ”

I don't know, if I knew what Erhua was thinking, would Gu Chen be able to continue to maintain this composure, he said lightly, "Don't think too much, after eating, have a good rest, and continue to travel tomorrow." ”

Seeing Gu Chen close his eyes again, Erhua hesitated for a moment and said, "Young Master, I, can I ask you a question?"

"What do you want to ask?"

"Young Master came to us, did you want to find something?"

Thinking that Erhua wanted to ask himself how the outside world was, Gu Chen pondered for a moment, and then nodded, "That's right, I want to find someone, but I don't know where he is in the source of the West River." ”

"Looking for someone?" Erhua said strangely, "Young Master, aren't you looking for something strange? I heard that you and Grandpa don't seem to say that." ”

"That's right. Gu Chen said, "The person I'm looking for is not ordinary, he will definitely not live in a mountain village like yours, the place where he lives must be a strange place for you, or, it is a very dangerous place, by the way, do you know those places in Xiheyuan?"

Asked by Gu Chen, Erhua tilted her head and thought for a while, "Young Master, I really know of a very dangerous place, but the person you are looking for will definitely not be there, it is too dangerous, it will kill people, and it is too far away." ”

Will people die?

Gu Chen smiled, the dangerous place in his mouth was not only a place where people would die, but also a place where ordinary people would die, of course, he didn't need to be so clear with Erhua, and said, "Tell me, I want to hear what kind of place it is." ”

The rabbit on the fire has not yet been roasted, and there is really nothing to do now, Erhua thought for a moment and said, "Young master, in fact, Erhua also heard about it a long time ago, as for the truth or falsehood, I don't know, it is a far away, I heard that thousands of miles away in the southwest, there is a place called Black Marsh......." ”

As Erhua slowly spoke, Gu Chen finally roughly understood the dangerous place she was talking about.

The source of the West River, thousands of miles to the southwest, there is a place called the Black Marsh, it is rumored that there are countless poisonous insects and beasts hidden in it, and it is shrouded in miasma all the year round, if people accidentally enter it, they will die before the tea time, and there are no bones left after death.

However, there are many precious medicinal materials in the black marsh, and many people risk their lives to enter it, and as a result, there is not one out of ten, and it is an extremely dangerous place.

The swamp is full of poisonous insects, and if there is still miasma, then it is indeed an extremely dangerous place for ordinary people, and Gu Chen does not care.

"Young master, isn't this place I said dangerous?"

Looking at Erhua's hopeful eyes, Gu Chen nodded, "It's indeed a very dangerous place, anyway, there are no clues, but you can go and see." ”

"Huh?" Erhua's eyes widened, and said, "Young Master, the Black Marsh is thousands of miles away from us, if we go, when will we go?"

Gu Chen smiled, "Soon, you hurry up and eat, go to bed after eating, I'm not hungry." ”

Seeing Gu Chen say this, he closed his eyes again, and Erhua didn't say anything more.

Originally, Erhua was still a little worried about whether she would be like that this night, but after she was sure that Gu Chen couldn't do it, she also let go of her heart.

This night, although she slept in the wilderness, but Erhua's heart was extremely down-to-earth, and she felt that this night, extremely comfortable, in her dreams, she felt as if she would soar through the clouds, the feeling of soaring in the world, beautiful.

Finally, when the dazzling sunlight shone on her face, Erhua opened her eyes, first rubbed her worried eyes, and then she looked in the direction of Gu Chen, but this time she turned her head, she was directly stunned.

What is this place?

Erhua's eyes widened violently, and then she hurriedly climbed up, she clearly remembered that she and Gu Chen were resting in a mountain forest yesterday, and now, they were on a mountain.

Surrounded by cliffs and lush jungle at her feet, she couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and her heart was full of disbelief, what had happened that night? Where was this? How did she get here?

"You're awake. ”

A voice suddenly sounded, and Erhua turned her head violently, only to find that Gu Chen was standing on the edge of the cliff behind her and watching.

Erhua's voice trembled, "Less, young master, it seems that something is wrong, we, we are not in the same place as yesterday now." ”

"I know. Gu Chen nodded, and he turned around and said, "We're on the edge of the Black Swamp right now. ”

"What?" Erhua's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it, "Kuronuma?"

"That's right. Gu Chen pointed behind him and said, "Look for yourself, the scenery is really good." ”

Erhua hurriedly came to Gu Chen's side, she looked down cautiously, her mouth could no longer be closed, not to mention spectacular, it was simply too spectacular.

In a large place, the clouds and mist are permeated in the mountains and forests, and the lush trees appear and disappear from time to time, like a fairyland, especially in the sun, the clouds and mist reflect the colorful colors, which is beautiful.

"Young master, it's really beautiful. ”

"It's really beautiful, but the more beautiful things are, the more poisonous they are, these are miasma, and if you inhale a little, you can be fatal. ”

Erhua suddenly remembered, "Young Master, how did we get here?"

"I brought you here. Gu Chen didn't want to dwell on this topic, and said, "Are you ready to go down the mountain, we're going down the mountain." ”

Down?

Erhua looked at the steep rock walls around her, and was a little embarrassed: "Young master, this, how can I get this down, why don't I get some trees and rattans to weave a rope first, if I fall down, I will fall to death." ”

Gu Chen moved his hands and said, "Don't be so troublesome. ”

As she spoke, Gu Chen hugged Erhua's waist, Erhua's face turned red instantly, she was about to struggle, but she screamed, because Gu Chen jumped off the cliff directly with her.

"Ahh

In the screams of Erhua closing his eyes, Gu Chen's two bodies fell rapidly, he hugged Erhua with one hand, and inserted one hand into the rock wall around him from time to time to reduce the speed of falling.

"Stop yelling. ”

A faint voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and Erhua closed her mouth suddenly, but it took a while before she opened her eyes.

When she saw that she had landed safely, she couldn't help but be surprised, but just curled up on the ground and cried.

Gu Chen ignored it, his eyes were faintly red, looking at the miasma in front of him, but no matter how he observed, he saw no trace of human activity, and even he began to suspect that this was just an ordinary swamp, but since he came, he always had to check it.
