Volume 1 Qingxuan Youdao 21. Difficult road ahead (continued)

At this time, looking at General Gao's abdomen, it looks like a pregnant woman. If there is no other remedy, it will get bigger and bigger.

In desperation, Sima asked him to open his mouth and put his fingers into his throat to induce vomiting.

This method worked very well, General Gao spit out a lot of filth, and the previously swollen belly gradually recovered.

In addition to the dry food that had just been eaten, the vomit was mixed with some undigested herbs and trees. What he said before was true, the missing bark around him was indeed eaten by him.

After a while, Sima Wenzhi took out the dry food again and handed it over.

This time, instead of handing out some dry food and feeding a sip of water, as I did last time. The snow that had previously been packed in the water bag was melting into water one after another, and it was just in time for use.

This was repeated several times until General Gao no longer felt hungry.

After some tossing, the sky gradually began to darken.

When I was in the sect, although there was also a dark night, it would not be so early. As the sky grew darker, the surroundings began to get colder, unlike when they were in the sect, and the nights were also warm. Sima Wenzhi originally thought that the Qingxuan Mountain Gate Great Array was just to isolate outsiders, but at this time, it seemed that it was not as he thought.

It was getting dark, and it became more inappropriate to go down the mountain. General Gao's body is still weak, and the path he has opened up is also unreliable, walking at night, and it is possible to fall down the mountain if you step into the air.

If you can't make it, you'll need to stay overnight.

Looking around, Sima Wenzhi didn't find a cave, but only saw a few larger rocks not far away. He saw the weapon beside General Gao, had an idea, and reached over to pick it up.

The Sima clan started with military warfare, and martial arts is a family tradition. Although it has been many generations, the male heirs of the royal family still have to wear weapons from an early age. At the time of Jiankang, the weapons worn by Sima Wenzhi were similar to those of civil officials, which were swords and short swords.

General Gao is a military general, and most of the weapons worn by generals are knives, and the weapon next to General Gao is a waist knife.

The knife is made of stainless steel, which is extremely sharp, and there are no signs of rust after many days of use. The waist knife felt quite heavy in the hand, and Sima Wen had to hold it with one hand, so he could only change it to two hands.

After wielding his waist knife with both hands to cut through the dry thorns and weeds, Sima Wenzhi carried them to the leeward of the rocks. After a little arrangement, General Gao was helped over and used this place as a shack for the two of them to spend the night tonight.

But at this time, there is only a nest and no shed, so it is not fun to use the sky as a shed and the ground as a bed.

General Gao closed his eyes, not knowing if he was pretending to sleep or if he had fallen asleep. After days of sleeping and tiredness, he needed to rest.

Sima asked that he was not tired and had no intention of falling asleep. In his spare time, he once again exercised mantras and hand formulas, attracting spirits into his body and impacting the two veins of Ren and Du.

This time it took a lot longer than before, and I felt that the two big holes were getting looser and looser. However, he was no longer in the mountain gate, so he could not determine whether this situation was normal, nor could he confirm whether his cultivation speed was fast or slow compared to others.

At the end of the practice, he dissipated his aura. After continuing his practice, he felt hungry and opened the package and began to eat.

When handing out dry food to General Gao before, Sima Wenzhi didn't care about the consumption of food because he was anxious to save his life. At this time, when he ate by himself, he found that the dry food that Ling Shuang had prepared for him had already consumed more than fifty percent.

But fortunately, the dry food prepared by Ling Shuang is made of fine grains. Most of the staple foods of ordinary people in the world are soybean meal and rice bran, and compared with coarse grains, fine grains are easier to chew and digest, and they are more resistant to hunger.

Ling Shuang's previous worries were not unreasonable.

Worried that it would take long to get to the bottom of the mountain, Sima Wenzhi stopped eating before he was half-full. He didn't put the package back to General Gao, but carried it on his back. He couldn't let him know about the fact that there wasn't much left over in the dry food.

After a while, a mountain wind began to blow up the mountain.

The mountain wind is not strong, but it makes people feel a little cold when it blows on the body. Sima Wenzhi wanted to make a fire to keep warm, and rummaged through the package, but he didn't find any fire folds.

The fire fold is a necessary thing for mortals in the world to walk the rivers and lakes, Ling Shuang will not miss it, and if he does not find it, there must be a reason.

The most likely reason is that the disciples of Qingxuanshan who walk the world, do not use fire folds to make fire. Ling Shuang didn't know about it, so she didn't prepare it.

The mountain breeze is a bit cold, but it's also beneficial.

If the wind blows, you don't have to worry too much about the fog, it is better to sleep in the mountains with wind than fog, and Sima Wenzhi has learned a lot from more than a year of fugitive.

Unknown dangers are mostly hidden in places where they cannot be seen, and fog can provide shelter for dangerous things. There was no fog tonight, and there was moonlight, and he was able to spot it in time when danger was approaching.

In fact, Sima Wenzhi wanted to make a fire because fire could block most of the beasts.

He wasn't worried that there would be monsters here, monsters were different from beasts, and if they appeared here, the Qingxuan Mountain monks would be able to sense them. If there were monsters raging here at this time, the humiliation of the three sects of Qingxuan Mountain would not be much less than the scolding of General Gao in front of the battle.

Worried until the second half of the night, he also fell into a deep sleep. His worries were a little unnecessary, and until dawn, nothing happened.

I slept late and woke up late, and when Sima Wenzhi woke up, it was bright.

Before him, General Gao had woken up, and at this time he was holding his waist knife, guarding his side. Sima Wenzhi looked at him and knew that he was fine.

The two of them hurried down the mountain, cleaned up briefly, and were about to move on. Before he could open his legs, there was a "grunt" sound.

Hearing the voice, General Gao's face was a little embarrassed. Sima Wenzhi wanted to comfort him, but before he could speak, the sound of "grunting" came out of his stomach. Very good, half a catty is against eight taels, and no one needs to comfort anyone.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

At this time, the biggest reliance of the two is a good body. Sima Wenzhi took the package from behind his back, took out the dry food and handed it over. General Gao didn't move after taking the dry food, he had to eat it first before Sima asked.

Sima Wenzhi turned his back and secretly put the remaining dry food in his hand back into the package while eating the dry food.

Soon, General Gao also finished eating the food in his hand. Sima asked him not to have much dry food, and there was not much surplus food left at this time, so he had to save it, and it was much better to not have enough to eat than not to have enough to eat.

After eating, they continued on their way, and the next day, before dark, the two of them worked together to make a fire fold. Drilling wood to make fire is the ability left by the ancestors, and after the two pouted their butts and drilled three wooden sticks, they were done.

With fire you can do a lot of things.

At this time, it was winter, Yizhou was wet and cold, and the dry food prepared by Ling Shuang had already cooled. Wear it on a stick, roast it on the fire, and eat it, and it tastes much better.

After the fire roasted, the dry food was hot, and when General Gao was concentrating on stirring the hot dry food, Sima Wenzhi secretly put his share back into the package.
