Chapter 91: Discovering the Traces of the Ascetics (1/3)
Fortunately, all the people present are not ordinary people.
Even Tu Xiaobai, who looks most like an ordinary person, is not an ordinary person. Although she looks only a few years old, she is actually as old as Gu Tingyu.
No, to be precise, it should have been from when Gu Tingyu had a memory. Tu Xiaobai was of this size, how big is it actually? I'm afraid no one knows yet.
Therefore, this seemingly dangerous mountain road is really easy for them as a couple.
The forests were thick with trees, and it didn't take long for them and their group to enter the depths of the forests.
"I can feel that no one has visited here for at least decades."
The surrounding area is covered with thick white snow. The surface of the snow is smooth and flat, with only a few small animal footprints. Under the snow and frost, there is a deep layer of residual branches and dead leaves. It seems that it will have to accumulate for more than ten years to get there. So heavy.
"Uncle Shan said, in the deep mountains in winter, wild beasts are easy to come and go." Zhexiu reminded.
That's for sure, you must know that most of the beasts hide in their own caves in winter, which is a low season for hunting for beasts.
Gu Tingyu and the others broke into the mountain and brought the smell of living things. This smell can be easily transmitted in the deep mountains covered by heavy snow. I don't know how much miscellaneous smells have been covered by heavy snow.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a beast roar came not far in front of several people, and Gu Tingyu hurriedly opened his hands nervously, let everyone stop, and stopped behind him.
"Late Autumn, hold Xiao Bai." Gu Tingyu said directly without turning his head back.
Gu Tingyu had just finished speaking, and in the forest in front of him, a beast with black and yellow stripes intertwined, a hungry tiger in a deep mountain that was more than two meters long!
He was very hungry. Looking at the tiger's hungry eyes, you can tell that Gu Tingyu and the others are really an indispensable meal for him.
"Are we becoming prey?"
"This big cat is a little cute." Tu Xiaobai said with a smile lying on Ye Wanqiu's shoulder.
To be honest, even Tu Xiaobai, who grew up in the mountains and forests, has never seen a tiger once.
To be precise, it should be that Xiao Bai has never seen any big beasts except for Da Bai.
because
For the wild beasts, the entire Baiyun Mountain is the territory of the great white white fox, except for it, any other beasts should be damned if they break in.
"Are you sure you want to anger it like this?" Gu Tingyu turned around.
It's just a tiger, and the mere beast is not a monster. You must know that even if it is Dabai, he often presses on the ground and rubs it.
The ferocious tiger just took a step forward, and suddenly stopped. The eyes that had originally locked on the prey immediately changed to scared eyes, and its body over two meters shook constantly.
The tiger climbed to the ground and kept whining, begging for mercy.
The next moment, this ferocious tiger turned around and ran away frantically. It has never seen such a terrifying creature in the ten years since it grew up.
When Gu Tingyu turned around, they happened to see a white beast the size of a kitten standing on the treetop.
"Da Bai is here." Tu Xiaobai jumped out of Ye Wanqiu's arms with a happy face. When Dabai saw Xiaobai, he jumped directly from the treetops and jumped into Tu Xiaobai's arms.
Dabai rubbed Xiaobai's face happily. It seemed that Xiaobai was very interested in that tabby cat. Would you like to consider catching one for her
"Brother Yu, what are you looking for? Will there be what you are looking for in this snow-covered deep mountain?" Ye Wanqiu asked.
"The burning sun grass, burning to the sun, will not go out all day long, regardless of the weather, it must exist." Gu Tingyu explained.
Burning sun grass
Although Ye Wanqiu is a cultivator, he has never heard of what burning sun grass is
The more I walked into the mountains, the surroundings became more and more silent, except for the rustling of my feet on the snow, I could only hear the cold breeze blowing the remaining snow from the treetops.
There is a familiar smell in the blowing wind.
"Aura?" Gu Tingyu's expression changed, a little worried.
Gu Tingyu raised his head and looked around, and couldn't help thinking about how there would be spiritual energy coming from this deep mountain.
And this aura is not the kind of aura that exists in the air, it seems to be released by people.
"There are monks!"
Gu Tingyu's face was very ugly, and there were even traces of monks. How could this be possible? ! The monk actually appeared in this deep mountain!
"What's the matter?" Tu Xiaobai asked when he walked behind Gu Tingyu with Dabai in his arms.
Gu Tingyu turned around, did not answer Tu Xiaobai’s question, instead
Instead, he walked straight to the fold sleeves.
"Say, there is something in this mountain. If it's just burning sun grass, it's impossible to attract other cultivators." Gu Tingyu questioned.
Although Burning Sun Grass is a kind of elixir, it is only considered a low-level elixir. Generally, ascetics don't bother to collect it. If you encounter it, there is just room for storage. Then you can collect it. It is impossible for anyone to deliberately pursue it.
"Where do I know." Zhexiu was very uncomfortable. Gu Tingyu looked at him with such a look, as if all this was caused by the fold.
"I want to explain."
"You want to explain?" Zhexiu stepped forward, walked to the opposite side of Gu Tingyu, and stared at him and said, "Please don't forget, you begged me to ask me if I have news about the burning sun grass, this Jiuyang Mountain It’s not my house. How do I know what's on the mountain? How do I know why those monks came here!"
She was indeed aggrieved, the last few words even ranted out.
Gu Tingyu also felt that what he had done was a bit too mean, not that he was afraid, but that he was more concerned about the safety of Ye Wanqiu and Tu Xiaobai.
In other words, think about it, he is a bit selfish. Although Zhexiu didn't know why he approached him, but logically speaking, since getting acquainted with Zhexiu, the other party has not done anything to cheat him.
"Hug, sorry, I was too anxious just now." Gu Tingyu said.
"Forget it, since you don't believe me, then you should go your own way." Zhexiu was very angry. She was not afraid of being ridiculed by others, or whatever, but she didn't want to be misunderstood.
Especially those whom she considers important.
Unexpectedly, after the incident, Gu Tingyu was the first to blame her.
"Fold the sleeves."
It's a pity that no matter how Gu Tingyu shouted, Zhexiu turned around and left without hesitation. Perhaps he always felt that Zhexiu's carefree character would not care about this, but he never thought that she would have such a delicate and serious side.
"As for? I didn't say anything." Gu Tingyu opened his mouth and wanted to catch up, but after thinking about it, he thought he gave her a face.
Ye Wanqiu didn't say much, after all, she had promised to fold her sleeves, and there were things she couldn't tell Gu Tingyu.
"Forget it, let's continue walking, she should go down the mountain when she walks back."
