When I returned to the cave, most of the night had passed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The night was peaceful, the fish-headed monsters did not attack us, and I slept in the cave until dawn.

Sitting up from the straw, I stretched, and although I didn't sleep for long, I finally made up for the fatigue of the past few days. The injury on his right arm was mostly fine, but it was still a little itchy, a sign of wound healing.

Walk to the entrance of the cave and look at the position at the foot of the mountain. Perhaps it was because of a rainstorm that covered the ground with a faint mist. Ethereal and somewhat illusory. The misty sky, the slightly cold air, the calm waterhole and the beautiful shores of the shore all seemed to be peaceful.

Death Swamp may be a treacherous place, but when it's quiet, the scenery is still pleasing to the eye. Looking at the position below the mountain and the place opposite the waterhole, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart.

It would be great if the Seven Great Sects and the Immortal Hall had been facing each other so quietly. If this is the case, the rivers and lakes may be more peaceful.

I picked up my arms, leaned against the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, and looked across the pool. At night, the fog on the edge of the waterhole rose very large, but now it is much thinner, and through the fog, you can faintly see the camp of the Immortal Hall.

If I could coexist peacefully, maybe I would still be a disciple of the Iron Sword Sect. He Yanqiu will not be thrown into the fire pit, Pan Changlong will not die, and the third senior brother and the fourth senior brother will not be abandoned by us in a hurry in the wilderness, and most of the righteous sects under the Two Wolf Mountain will not be wiped out. When I think of this, I can't help but feel a sourness in my heart.

Perhaps, this time the alliance between the Seven Great Sects and the Immortal Hall is a good opportunity. Perhaps, this time the two realms of righteousness and demons will fight against the fish-headed monster together, which will become a good story on the rivers and lakes.

After watching for a while, I returned to the cave, extinguished the fire, straddled the shadow chasing sword around my waist, and was about to go to see Han Xiao when Lichen walked in with a bowl of hot porridge. As soon as he came to me, Lichen said, "Gu Shaoxia, let's go out after eating the porridge." ”

I looked at the porridge in the bowl. It is said to be porridge, but the rice grains in it are pitiful, almost no different from a bowl of water. Today is the fifth day, but the miasma in the forest is still strong. I couldn't help but sigh and said, "Master Chen, have you eaten it?"

Lichen said with a smile: "When the senior brother was cooking porridge, the little monk ate some. ”

I probably didn't eat much, I thought silently. Yesterday I was able to steam rice, but now it has become porridge, and the problem of food and grass seems to be more serious than I thought.

Picking up the bowl and drinking all the porridge in the bowl in one gulp, I handed the bowl to Chen, and said, "Is Master Benkong okay?"

"The abbot hasn't slept all night, and now he is discussing important matters with Tianyi's seniors. ”

Today, I am going to discuss the matter of joining forces with the people of the Immortal Hall, and I don't dare to be careless if I think that Master Benkong and Tianyi will not be careless. I nodded, turned around and was about to walk out of the cave, but Lichen stopped me and said, "By the way, Gu Shaoxia, Senior Jiang came to look for you last night, and when he saw that you were not there, he instructed the little monk to tell Shaoxia, please Shaoxia must go to the medical tent this morning." ”

I said, "Did Senior Jiang say what happened?"

"No, just let the little monk pass on a message. ”

I said, "Okay, thank you, Master Chen." ”

Descending the mountain, I walked towards the tent in the Cloud Villa. It's still early now, let's go visit Han Xiao first, Jiang Shun asked Chen to send a message to me, and it is not an urgent matter, otherwise I will be dragged to the medical account last night.

When they walked into the Qingcheng faction's position, many Qingcheng faction disciples were also walking out of their tents, each of them a little sluggish and unkempt. Master Benkong had instructed the disciples of each sect to take turns to patrol the shore of the waterhole, but after the fish-headed monster rushed out of the ground, there were almost no turns to patrol, except for the mouth of the valley According to such rules, now the disciples of each sect in the formation have sent their disciples to patrol their respective positions. Although maintaining this high level of vigilance can better prevent sudden attacks by fish-headed monsters, it is also physically exhausting, and it is even more exhausting to be nervous when you can't eat enough.

This is only a matter of food and grass, and the situation has reached this point, forcing people to find a way to escape from this place. Fang Wen thought so, and Master Primordial also thought so, that's why there was this alliance, right? If it was before entering the Death Swamp, this would be impossible at all.

Secretly sorting out my thoughts, before I knew it, I had walked to the tent in Youyun Villa, and the one guarding the door of the tent had changed to another coachman, he hugged me and said with a smile: "Gu Shaoxia, it's early." ”

I saluted back and said, "Morning, is Brother Han inside?"

"Inside, Mr. Su is changing the medicine for Brother Han. ”

I opened the tent curtain and walked into the tent, the eighteen brothers in the tent were all there, Han Xiao was sitting on the straw with his bare arms, and Su Qingyao was changing the new medicine cloth for him behind him. Seeing me come in, Sanyan shouted, "It turned out to be Brother Gu, sit down." ”

Han Xiao also turned his head, his face was much better than before, and said with a smile: "Brother Gu, you are here." ”

I went to his straw shop and sat down, and said, "Pass by here to see how your injuries are, have you eaten?"

Han Xiao said: "I can't shed any blood, it's no big deal." After Mr. Su changed the medicine for me, I also went out to kill a few monsters to breathe. ”

As he spoke, he slammed his fist on the grass bunk, Su Qingyao scolded, and said, "Don't move, don't you want to do it, right?" Now there are not many medicinal cloths and medicinal materials in the array, if you break it, the old man will have nowhere to find it." ”

Han Xiao and the others all laughed, but I just smiled bitterly. I don't even have much to heal, and that's really worse than ever.

Su Qingyao tied the medicine cloth in a knot, turned his head to look at me and said, "Gu Xiaoyou, are you going to the tent of the master of Benkong?"

I shook my head and said, "Senior Jiang Shun came to me last night and asked me to go to the medical account this morning. ”

Su Qingyao said: "I think it has something to do with those injured disciples." He put the bottles and cans on the side of the straw shop into a cloth bag, and said, "It's just right, I'm also going to the doctor's account to get some medicinal herbs, let's go over together." ”

I couldn't help but feel a little strange, before I came here, Su Qingyao seemed to be eager to drive me away. Seeing him carrying the cloth bag on his shoulder and walking towards the door of the tent, I didn't dare to slack off, so I said goodbye to Han Xiao and them, and hurriedly followed.

Not far from the big tent, Su Qingyao said suddenly: "Brother Gu, there is a shortage of grain and grass in the array, and since last night, the Wudang faction has no rations to supply. ”

"What?"

I was taken aback: "But the night before yesterday, Lichen told me that Tuva had transported 20,000 catties of grain and grass, and 1,000 catties of wine and meat. ”

Su Qingyao smiled bitterly: "What Tuva sent over was only wine and meat from the account room, and there was no grain and rice at all. Gu Shaoxia, what you think is too simple. ”

I was a little stunned and said, "Then ......what is the rice grain we have eaten these days?"

Su Qingyao let out a long sigh and said, "That's the rice grain that Master Benkong brought later. ”

I stopped.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and a red sun had risen from the east, and the golden brilliance had cleared the dark clouds that had been in place for several days. Today is a rare good weather, but Su Qingyao's words made my body tremble, and a chill rose in my heart.

Su Qingyao didn't take two steps and stopped, turned to look at me and said: "Actually, as early as when we withdrew from the valley, the grain and rice in the position were already insufficient, and at that time, it was Tuva transporting wine and meat materials in the account, and Master Benkong and Tianyi were afraid that they would scatter the hearts of the people, so they moved out the 20,000 catties of grain and rice that they carried later, otherwise Master Benkong and Tianyi would not be in a hurry to make a plan to go around." ”

I see.

For a moment, I was a little dazed. It's no wonder that when the fish-headed monster appeared in the pool, Master Benkong was still in such a hurry to attack the Immortal Hall, at that time, I said that Master Benkong had the determination and certainty to eradicate the Immortal Hall, but I didn't expect him to want to fight quickly. Once the strategy is successfully implemented, not only can it frustrate the Immortal Hall, but the shortage of food and rice can also be resolved unconsciously, and the panic behind it will not exist at all.

There's a mystery here.

However, the fish-headed monster still rushed out of the pool, and the plan to go around the back was also in vain.

Su Qingyao was still saying: "This matter is extremely confidential, Brother Gu should not talk about the grain and rice in front of all the disciples, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Even if I don't mention it, I'm afraid it won't take long for the children of all sects to know. I couldn't help but get a little angry, and said, "Could it be that at this time, does Master Benkong still want to hide it?"

The sudden appearance of the miasma has already caused panic in people's hearts, if it weren't for Master Primal Space and the Heavenly Leader to do this, I'm afraid that the current situation will be even worse, then there is no way, right? But now that we are trapped in the swamp of death, what's the point of guarding this food shortage?

Su Qingyao glanced at me, but said, "I don't know, maybe Master Benkong has his own plans." After saying that, he didn't say anything to me anymore and walked towards the Kunlun faction's position.
