The morning light was slightly dew, and it was a vast expanse of white snow.
The bonfire last night was already cold, and the small room was being re-lit. Since there was no place to rest below, a small open space had been set up for temporary camping.
Sima Che went to look elsewhere, came back with a sigh, and said, "I've searched everything, but there's nothing to eat."
"Oh, it's good to have a pot, at least you can drink some hot water."
"Yeah, it seems that I have to work hungry."
The two chatted a few words casually, seemingly in harmony, while Gu Yu sat aside, still closing his eyes and adjusting his breath. His internal injuries are neither minor nor serious, if there is a good environment, he can rest for a while.
But now, what is lacking is a good environment.
His spirit platform is clear, and his spiritual consciousness is illuminated inside. Five colored air clusters seem to be floating in the black hole of the universe, and another white air is slowly moving. Every time it runs for a week, the air cluster recovers a little bit.
This kind of breathing adjustment made his face appear a thin layer of illusory light, which seemed to change his expression, which made people secretly amazed.
When Sima Che saw him, he was envious and jealous, and couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, is this the method of eating qi?"
"That's right. He's recuperating from his internal injuries and can't bear to be disturbed. Let's go down."
"Oh, good!"
The two went down to the valley, zoomed in on the original house location three more times, and delineated the excavation area. Because the house cannot be destroyed in situ, it must have been washed up into the sky, and then scattered around.
They didn't have any tools and could only dig with bare hands. It was extremely cold in the valley, the snow was extremely cold, and the bare hands were even colder. After a while, they were red and numb.
"Huchi... Huchi..."
Sima Che was frightened again and again yesterday, he didn't have a good rest at night, and he was hungry, so his condition was very bad. He straightened up, looked over there, and saw that Jiang Xiaozhai was also out of breath, but he didn't stop for a moment, his expression focused.
To be honest, all his attention was on Gu Yu before, and he didn't think much of this woman. And this time, I couldn't help but look again, and came up with the most direct evaluation: something extraordinary.
"Huh?"
Just as he was thinking, Xiao Zhai suddenly called out and pulled out a wooden plank from the half-foot-deep snow pit, and said with a smile, "You're lucky, you can use it as a shovel, you take it first!"
She raised her hand and swished it away.
"..."
Sima Che was taken aback for a moment. Although he practiced Taoism and avoided the world, he still had the basic concepts, and said, "You should use it, I..."
As soon as he uttered half a sentence, Ya shut up resentfully, watching the woman take out another bigger one.
Well! This feeling is very strange. Sima Che, who has always been indifferent to the relationship between men and women, inexplicably slandered the two: How did you two get along
Unknowingly, it was noon, and the strong sunlight shrouded the whole valley, making the snow bright and golden.
The area they delineated was correct, and they had already picked up a lot of things, including broken pots, rags, straw mats, broken glass and fragments of water tanks.
These are all kept, after all, the situation is special, maybe they can be used for something.
Sima Che was digging, he suddenly paused, and then picked up his speed. The snow was quickly cleared away, revealing a blue jade box the size of a cigarette case.
The material of this jade box is the same as that of the jade pendant, and they are all knocked from the mutant rock by the lake.
"..."
He glanced at Xiao Zhai, secretly hid the jade box in his bosom, and continued to dig.
Xiao Zhai didn't know it at all, because she had gained something, I saw her struggling to dig out the snow, pulling hard, and pulled out something, which was her backpack.
She opened it and saw that some items had been damaged, but it didn't matter, there were several packets of super concentrated wheat flour, soybean flour, compressed biscuits, and homemade meat balls inside.
"I found food!" She shook her hand.
"What are there?"
Sima Che hurried over and was delighted to see him. Only food can have hope.
Immediately, the two stopped digging and simply returned to the camp.
Gu Yu was looking at the fire boredly, adding a piece of firewood from time to time, watched them come back from a distance, then threw it on the ground with a clatter, wondering: "Why do you look like a trash collector?"
"These are not rags, they are treasures."
"Get out of the way!"
Xiao Zhai couldn't be idle for a moment, first he found a wooden plank and laid it out, then dried the broken blanket and spread it on top, and even had half a square pillow. In the blink of an eye, she made a cot.
"Let's just lie down and find a bedding and I'll change it for you."
She supported Gu Yu, and leaned half on the bed, which was indeed much more comfortable than a wooden stake.
After that, she set up two more pots, one for cooking oatmeal and the other for cooking meatballs. That wheat flour is extremely powerful, and a pack can make a pot. Not to mention the meat balls, they are so hot and oily that they make people move their index fingers.
Everyone was so hungry that there was no words for a while, only the sound of snoring and swallowing was left.
After eating, while it was still dark, the two went down the mountain again.
The harvest on the first day was a lot, and another backpack was dug out. Most importantly, I finally found a shovel, although it was only a shovel head.
In an instant, the hope of survival greatly increased. It's just that the food is still a little insufficient. If there is another accident, it may not be enough for three people.
…
"Snapped!"
The flames licked the dry branches, it was dark, and another night fell.
Sima Che was carrying out his only amateur activity, and was still studying that ancient seal. The two were still facing each other, talking in whispers while meeting each other.
"I don't know what happened to Xiao Qiu."
"With her temperament, she should go to the mountains to find us."
"Well, I hope she's in danger."
No way, if there is a crisis, Long Qiu might listen to his brother and sister and release the Golden Silkworm Gu. If there is no crisis, she will definitely not hurt the villagers and choose to bear it by herself.
The golden silkworm Gu has been sealed for so long, and anyone can imagine with his ass, how crazy it is!
It is also interesting to say that the two are trapped in the snow mountain, but they are not worried about their own situation, only worry about the little girl outside the snow mountain. After being silent for a while, Gu Yu seemed to think of something, and suddenly called out: "Fellow Daoist Sima!"
"Gu Daoyou, what's the matter?" Sima Che raised his head.
"Survival was flustered before, and I didn't have time to talk about it. Now I want to ask, you have already got the ancient seal, what about the things you promised us? You won't forget, right?"
"Haha, fellow daoist, you are joking, how can I be a person who forgets righteousness for profit!"
When Sima Che heard it, he immediately responded, "It's just that the box fell into the mountain stream and was buried somewhere. Now that I don't have any pen and ink, I don't think I can give it to you."
"Senior, did you write Lei Fa?" Xiao Zhai asked.
"Exactly!"
"Then you can dictate a copy, we will remember." She smiled.
"This, I'm afraid it's not right."
Sima Che shook his head, and said: "I am also transcribing according to the classics of the master, and there may be errors in the dictation. Why don't we look for it tomorrow, and it is best to find the secret method. If we can't find it, I will dictate another copy. .”
"It makes sense, then let's work harder tomorrow."
"Okay, it's getting late, let's rest first."
The two fell asleep as soon as they said they wanted to, Gu Yu was lying on the bed, and Xiao Zhai was leaning beside him, with a rag on it.
"Crack!"
The camp was suddenly quiet, a lot of firewood was added, and the fire continued to separate the two camps.
Sima Che stared at the two people opposite him through the fire, and touched his arms again.
…
The next day, at noon.
Xiao Zhai and Sima Che continued to dig, but their good luck ran out yesterday, and today they gained very little, and found nothing useful.
Xiao Zhai simply gave up the scope of the wooden house and moved a few meters to the entrance of the cave.
While she was digging, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she tore out half of the quilt—because it was split in two, it could only be called a half bed. The quilt was full of ice stubble, thick and solid, as hard as a slate.
"This one is good, much better than that old blanket."
She turned her head and shouted: "Senior, I have to go back, the quilt must be dried as soon as possible!"
"Then I'll send it back, save your energy."
Sima Che leaned over, looking very concerned.
"That's fine, I'll trouble you senior." Xiao Zhai didn't refuse.
"In our situation, if there is any trouble or not, I will go back as soon as I go."
He took the quilt, and walked up the mountainside. When he arrived at the temporary camp, he saw that Gu Yu was still meditating, with his eyes closed, as if he didn't know anything about the outside world.
Sima Che gently put down the quilt, a trace of hesitation and struggle flashed in his eyes, and then turned cold again.
He stepped on the ground carefully, and walked forward step by step. As soon as he got near the fire, Gu Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
Hiss!
Sima Che's heart twitched, and he tried to calm himself down, but before he could think up his words, the other party looked at him and said, "You want to kill me?"
"..."
He was startled, then narrowed his eyes, and took another step forward. Gu Yu remained calm and kept asking, "Why?"
"..."
He still didn't answer.
"Then Leifa is fake, you don't have Leifa at all?"
"You already knew?" He finally said.
"No, it was just a guess before, but now it's confirmed."
Gu Yu looked indifferent, without any expression, and asked, "Where is Xiaozhai?"
"She's still down there, but don't worry, we're in trouble, and I'll bury you together." Sima Che's voice became colder.
That's right, he doesn't have Leifa at all!
At the beginning, he was in various ways, knowing that Gu Yu was born to follow his feet, so he wanted to get some benefits. The scrolls in the box are just a set of things fabricated by dismantling and reorganizing the sect's exercises.
It's not that he doesn't know that the consequence of being found out is only the benefit, so what is the consequence
He wanted to procrastinate as long as he could, but last night he was chased by the two of them, so he wanted to act first, get rid of Gu Yu first, and then kill the seemingly harmless Xiao Zhai.
"well… "
Gu Yu heard this, but sighed lightly: "If you attack her first, the one who dies later won't be so ugly."
"Hmph, bluffing!"
Sima Che had already passed the fire, and was only a few steps away from him. Immediately, with a wave of his hand, his sleeves shook with vigor, which was infinitely close to innate strength.
And almost at the same time, he opened his mouth, with a green light flickering in his mouth, as if something was about to shoot out.
This is the real killer move! Years of painstaking research, a sinister secret technique!
He was very careful at first, but Gu Yu suffered from internal injuries and was unable to move, so this was a good opportunity to attack. It's a pity that he doesn't know that what that guy is best at has never been hand-to-hand combat.
"ah!"
The green light flashed, then disappeared in an instant, and then let out a scream.
Sima Che's body twitched, twisted into a strange angle from head to toe, shortening half of his body. He fell to the ground with a thump, clutching at the flesh with both hands, wailing like crazy.
"ah!"
"Ah... don't bite me... ah!"
His nails dug into the flesh, scratching out bloodstains, exposing the muscles and bones, it was simply horrible.
Gu Yu was sitting cross-legged in front of him, his eyes could not bear it at first, and then slowly became deep and dark.
"ah!"
"Save me, save me!"
After a few breaths, the scream became smaller and smaller. Sima Che was like a dead fish that had been steamed dry, lying on the ground upright, dripping with blood, with only half a breath left.
If you don't care about it, it is estimated that it will last less than two hours.
"He couldn't bear it anymore..."
At this time, Xiao Zhai followed up, glanced at Sima Che, covered his mouth and vomited lightly: "Why did you make it so miserable?"
"..."
Gu Yu looked gloomy and did not answer, after all, it was the first time to kill someone with his own hands. Of course Xiao Zhai understood, but she herself was not feeling well, so she dragged the guy aside and asked, "How will we deal with it later?"
His eyes were slightly closed, and he sighed sadly: "Bury it..."
