Chapter 18: Beginning to Cultivate
"Brother, why are you stunned again, the tour guide said that we will go to the next scenic spot later, let's move down the mountain by ourselves first" Gu Xiaoxiao poked Gu Chen's waist.
Only then did Gu Chen retract his thoughts, nodded, adjusted his mood, and prepared to take Gu Xiaoxiao down the mountain.
"Brother, that road has just been walked, and it's boring anymore, should we take a different path?"
Gu Chenshen mysteriously pointed to another path.
"Is this okay? Beware of man-eating monsters inside."
Gu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, I'm so old, do you still believe in monsters?
In order to prove that she was not timid at all, she pulled Gu Chen and walked down that path, Gu Chen didn't care, in fact, he wanted to go home and take a good look at that exercise now than to continue playing.
The road is full of heavy dirt, but probably because the road is not fully developed, not many people walk it, but there are still a lot of shallow grass scattered on the dirt.
Not long after leaving, Gu Chen and Gu Xiaoxiao saw some collapsed house walls, as well as some broken tiles.
Gu Chen originally stopped and took a casual look, but he didn't know that Gu Xiaoxiao's curiosity was online again, and he had to shout to take a closer look.
Gu Chen couldn't resist Gu Xiaoxiao, so he had to agree.
Those ruins were still more than a hundred meters away from the side of the road, and Gu Chen and Gu Xiaoxiao crossed the fence on the side of the road, saying that it was a fence, but in fact, it was just a pile of branches from some withered trunks.
When the two siblings got closer, they found that what they saw just now was just a corner, and after approaching the ruins, Gu Chen and Gu Xiaoxiao came to a corner, and outside the corner was the kind of semi-inclined steep slope.
This is all very normal, after all, it is still on the top of the mountain, and the most strange thing is that the steep slope is full of ginkgo trees.
According to common sense, this kind of unmanaged place should be full of thorns and weeds.
Seeing this strange scene, the two brothers and sisters were even more curious at this time, and they both decided to go to the corner to have a look, the corner was only about half a meter wide, and the two brothers and sisters could only pass in turn.
What caught my eye was still a pile of remnants of earthen walls and green tiles, which looked similar to the ruins just now.
When he continued to go deeper, Gu Xiaoxiao saw something buried in the pile of earthen walls not far away, looked like a part of something, and ran over excitedly:
"Brother, look there's something there, let's dig it out and take a look."
Gu Chen thought that the thing might be wood, but he still followed, and the two siblings dug for a long time before they dug out a large wooden plank.
This wooden board has broken two corners, and the color on the other sides has also fallen a lot, and there are three big characters written on it.
Gu Chen told Gu Xiaoxiao that this was just a plaque, maybe these ruins were all former Taoist temples, and they collapsed after a long time.
Gu Xiaoxiao was extremely disappointed, thinking that he could find some treasure, but it turned out to be just a dilapidated plaque.
But Gu Xiaoxiao still didn't give up, and he had to find something on the plaque.
"Click......
The plaque actually has a mezzanine, Gu Xiaoxiao got it a few times here, a few times there, and there was a thin wooden board behind the plaque that was really taken down by Gu Xiaoxiao.
Gu Xiaoxiao hurriedly went to check, only to find that there was only a dried seed.
"Alas, brother, there is only one useless seed, no, I am unwilling, I will take the seed back and plant it in the yard" Gu Xiaoxiao said disappointedly
As he spoke, he handed the seeds to Gu Chen, and asked Gu Chen to help him carry them in his pocket, and the seeds he had found with great difficulty could not be lost.
Because Gu Xiaoxiao also knows herself, she can easily lose things, so the money is usually kept by Gu Chen.
Gu Chen is used to it, Gu Xiaoxiao has always been like this, seeing that Gu Xiaoxiao was still a little disappointed, Gu Chen touched his head comfortingly.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go down the mountain"
The two siblings left the ruins and returned to the path.
All the way down the mountain, you can see that there are that kind of ruins around, Gu Chen guessed if it was because the scenic spot felt that these buildings posed a danger, so they were demolished.
But it is also possible that these buildings collapsed many years ago, but the place that puzzled Gu Chen the most was the ginkgo tree.
It was so incredible that they appeared on that slope, as if they were planted artificially, but that location told Gu Chen that it was impossible for the scenic spot to plant ginkgo trees of such a scale in that place.
Because the path is relatively close, the two brothers and sisters only walked for about an hour, and it was still the reason why Gu Chen was lost again, but fortunately, the whole journey was down the mountain, anyway, it was right to go down.
All the way to the square, Gu Xiaoxiao was still counting Gu Chen, such a big person, and she wanted her to find a way.
Gu Chen and Gu Xiaoxiao returned to the hotel to wash up briefly, packed their luggage, and rushed to the bus.
Naturally, the fat tour guide has a lot of things to arrange after all, and the descent is relatively fast, at this time he is waiting for tourists on the bus, his eyes are through the window, and he looks thoughtfully at the figures of the two brothers and sisters who are gradually approaching.
He said to himself, "Huh...... Why did these two guys arrive so early this time?"
The two brothers and sisters came to the door of the bus, Gu Xiaoxiao greeted the fat tour guide lively, and Gu Chen was also smiling.
As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, and the fat tour guide can't say anything, but when he thinks about the past, he will still choke enough.
still beckoned the two brothers and sisters into the bus, the two of them were the earliest to come this time, the bus was relatively empty, as soon as Gu Chen got on the bus, he took Gu Xiaoxiao straight to the back seat of the bus.
Taking advantage of Gu Xiaoxiao's inattention, Gu Chen sat down in his seat and took a picture of the exercises given by Su Feiyue with his mobile phone, and then put the exercises away and only looked at his mobile phone.
Gu Chen was tired of watching this, and there were more and more other travelers, but it did not affect Gu Chen's perception of the subtlety in it, sometimes smirking and sometimes frowning.
Gu Xiaoxiao on the side felt inexplicable, and couldn't help but vomit:
"Brother, did you take the wrong medicine today?"
Gu Chen shot back: "You just took the wrong medicine, why are you talking so viciously?"
Gu Xiaoxiao chirped, don't look around, and said to herself: "Who made you giggle several times in half a day, and blame me"
At this time, the last passenger also entered the bus, and the fat tour guide asked the bus to leave directly, and the group began to go to the new destination.
The inside of the car, which was originally quite noisy, has become quiet again, which is also the norm nowadays, whether it is a bus, train or plane, as long as it starts to leave, more people are willing to sleep.
This is also the mentality of most people, who do not want to face the pain head-on, and sleep is the result they want, but that's all.
Seeing that Gu Xiaoxiao and the people around him were asleep, Gu Chen was eager to try and cultivate according to the requirements of the exercises.
According to the requirements of the exercises, Gu Chen generally sits, his brain is relaxed, his eyes are slightly closed, and he feels the qi mentioned in the exercises.
A quarter of an hour passed, and Gu Chen still didn't feel the qi mentioned in the exercises, but Gu Chen was not discouraged, he only made contact with it for the first time, comforted himself and said, it's okay, take your time.
Gu Chen repeatedly breathed with his abdomen, and after a period of time, finally Gu Chen sensed the heat in his abdomen, which gradually settled, and Gu Chen just wanted to lift the air mass from the dantian to his chest.
The "bang......" bus crashed into the rockfall in front, which was about the size of four basketballs, but fortunately the bus was relatively high, but the chassis hit the stone directly.
The people who were asleep in the car were awakened.
"What happened to the master?"
"What's going on? I almost fell off if I could drive."
"Can you be a little more stable?"
“……”
The gossip in the car began to discuss, and the fat tour guide was also awakened by this sound and comforted the people in the car.
"Everyone, our car just hit a rock, there was a little accident, solve it immediately, don't panic."
The tour guide called the assistant and several male passengers in the front seat to get out of the car and move the stones.
As a result, as soon as several people got out of the car and pushed the stones away, the whole sky suddenly darkened, as if it was covered by an invisible hand.
