The dark horse caught up with Gu Qingshan and Laura.
Seeing this, Gu Qingshan couldn't say anything more.
The two immediately followed the road and went forward to investigate the situation together.
"So you're scared too?" Laura asked.
"Afraid?" The black horse raised its head and said solemnly: "You misunderstood, but my professional ethics requires me to stay by the customer's side so that I can respond to the customer's call at any time."
"Okay, no need to say, I understand you."
Laura held back her laughter, patting her back for fear of the horse.
"Are you afraid of ghosts?" Gu Qingshan asked casually.
"Of course, I'm most afraid of these things." Laura admitted generously.
She was sitting on the back of the black horse, while Gu Qingshan was leading the black horse, and the two of them marched forward together.
"Sure enough, there is a problem with the road." Gu Qingshan stopped and said.
In front of them, the entire road was cut off in the middle.
A huge pothole appeared in the middle of the road.
On the stone walls around the pit, there are uneven shallow pits everywhere, accompanied by large black and red blood stains.
Gu Qingshan walked to the edge of the pothole and looked towards the opposite side.
I don't know what made this pothole, but it is nearly 100 meters wide. As for the depth—
Gu Qingshan released his spiritual thoughts to explore, and found that the bottom of the pit was more than two hundred meters deep, and the bottom was full of blood.
There was nothing in the viscous blood, but there were huge bloody footprints on the stone wall leading to the opposite side of the pit.
This strange bloody footprint followed the stone wall to the road opposite the pothole, and gradually disappeared along the road.
— as if something had climbed up the rock wall from the bottom of the pothole, and finally up the road, toward the city center.
"Can you jump over?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Okay, it's not a problem to jump over after a run-up." The black horse said.
Roar-
In the center of the city, a terrifying roar could be heard vaguely.
The sound didn't sound like a wild beast, but rather like the painful roar of countless people at the same time.
Laura took out the binoculars and was about to look around.
Gu Qingshan grabbed the binoculars and said: "Don't look, some ghosts can sense people's sight."
Seeing what he said, Laura had no choice but to give up.
She sneaked a peek and saw that Gu Qingshan had a strange expression on his face.
"What's wrong with you? Did you find anything?" Laura couldn't help asking.
"Ah, no, I thought of another question."
Gu Qingshan responded, while standing there thinking for a while.
He simply led the black horse back and found a clean place at a remote corner of the road.
Taking out the formation plate, Gu Qingshan arranged a series of formations one after another.
Regardless of the consumption of spirit stones, Gu Qingshan arranged all the high-level defensive formations in one go, and arranged dozens of offensive formations.
The power of such a magic circle, and the number of such a magic circle, are enough to deal with large-scale wars in the practice world.
"What are you doing?" Lara wondered.
"Arranging a defensive array."
Gu Qingshan thought for a while, and quietly arranged a soundproof circle.
Laura said: "I know you are setting up a formation, but I am asking why you are setting up a defensive formation?"
"Take a rest."
Laura froze.
"We have done a lot of things, walked a lot of places, and have not stopped. There are more dangers ahead, and we are already very tired. This is not good. It will affect our judgment and coping ability, and then threaten our lives. .” Gu Qingshan said.
"Don't tell me I didn't notice it. In fact, I'm already very sleepy. It's just because I've been too dangerous all the time, so I can barely hold on." Laura yawned.
Gu Qingshan patted the storage bag and placed a large table in the center of the circle.
Onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, pepper, chili, etc. were placed neatly, and fresh ingredients were taken, the stove was placed, a fire was lit, and the spatula was rinsed.
"Are you used to human food?"
"not bad."
"good."
Two chairs appeared out of thin air.
"Sit for a while and wait for me to finish the food." Gu Qingshan said without turning his head.
He started cooking and making soup.
Laura sat down and quietly watched him busy.
"I never thought you could cook."
"Eat a good hot meal, and then get a good night's sleep. After tomorrow dawn, we will be full of energy, and we will explore the city again."
"Great!" Laura exclaimed, throwing up her hands.
Dinner was very rich.
Seven meat dishes, four vegetarian dishes, and one soup.
Laura ate very slowly, but Gu Qingshan ate two large bowls in one go.
The black horse looked at the table full of food and hesitated.
Gu Qingshan got some spiritual herbs for it, and the black horse tried to eat a few mouthfuls, feeling very satisfied.
It politely expressed its thanks.
Both of them had a full meal together.
After the meal, Gu Qingshan washed the dishes, collected everything, and took out a bed.
"Rest now."
He covered Laura with a blanket and watched over her.
In nearly a hundred magic circles, the temperature is suitable, the spiritual energy is full, and there is no sound.
Laura was lying on the bed, only feeling that the lack of energy in her body was coming out.
"Aren't you sleeping?" she asked.
"It's fine for monks to meditate, and it's better to rest."
"Gu Qingshan, I'm a bit afraid to sleep."
"Why?"
"I always feel panicked."
"That's your illusion, but I didn't feel anything."
"You don't feel it?"
"Of course, I'm a practitioner. As you know, a practitioner's spiritual sense can tell bad luck."
"The previous entropy ghost—"
"I sensed it, don't you remember? I set up the magic circle first to block it."
"So you really don't feel anything right now."
"right."
After hearing Gu Qingshan's answer, Laura breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that I have been too nervous recently, so I have an illusion." She rubbed her eyebrows and murmured.
"Exactly." Gu Qingshan stroked her head gently, "Sleep well, you need to rest."
"kindness."
Laura closed her eyes.
Gu Qingshan took a futon and sat by the bed.
after awhile.
"Gu Qingshan."
"kindness?"
"Can't sleep, let's play a bedtime game."
"what game?"
"You tell a little secret about yourself, and I also tell you something about yourself. We exchange with each other."
"..."
"Usually every night, my mother plays this game with me..."
"Okay, Laura, do you know why Barry and Meow kept me at the club?"
Laura was attracted by this question, and tried to ask, "Because you are nice?"
"No, because my cooking level conquered them."
"That's the way it is. Well, now that I think about it, your food tastes really good."
"Okay, it's time for you to talk about yourself."
"Gu Qingshan, do you know why I'm afraid of heights?"
"Why?"
"The thorn bird has a memory when it was born. On the day I was born, my father was so happy that he didn't pay attention when he hugged me, and let me fall from the sacred tree."
"Sacred tree?"
"Yes, the sacred tree of thorns, which gives us magical powers, is about 10,000 meters high."
"...You fell from such a high place when you were born? And you know?"
"Yes, my first impression of this world is falling, and I feel myself falling."
"Your father should have rescued you soon."
"He thought my mother would shoot, and my mother thought he would shoot, then the ministers thought the king and queen would shoot, the guards thought the ministers would shoot, and the guests thought the guards would shoot."
"So no one made a move?"
"Yes, I was rescued by everyone after I slipped thousands of meters."
"It's a sad story."
"It's time for you to tell your secret."
"Secret... I once dreamed that I experienced many battles in my previous life, and then died. When I woke up, I found that I was eighteen years old and everything started again."
"This is bizarre, I guess Xiaomiao will be interested in this matter."
"Yeah, she's the one who writes."
"..."
Laura closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Gu Qingshan waited silently.
time flies.
I saw Laura suddenly began to sob and talk in sleep.
"Mother... I miss you so much..."
She turned anxiously.
Gu Qingshan thought for a while, took out a long incense stick, and lit it.
This was carefully crafted by Qin Xiaolou. It not only makes people fall asleep quickly, but also has a certain soothing effect on the soul.
The calming incense burns with a faint green smoke, and a faint fragrance permeates the air.
Soon, Laura's breathing became steady and regular, and her expression relaxed.
Gu Qingshan stared at her, and gradually felt relieved.
"Okay." He said softly.
Immediately, a long sword like a pool of autumn water appeared from the void.
With a silent turn of the long sword, it turned into a stunning lady in Tsing Yi.
"Young master, leave it to me."
"Well, I will trouble you next."
Gu Qingshan stood up from the futon and gave up his seat to Shannv.
"My lord, if you fight..." Shannu was a little worried.
"There are Chaoyin and Dijian, it's okay, if not, I'll call you again."
"That-"
"Don't worry, if you can't beat me, I will run. You should know my running skills very well."
"All right."
Only then did Shan Nu feel relieved.
She activated the mysteries of synchronizing all beings, and transformed into the appearance of Gu Qingshan.
For a moment, two Gu Qingshans appeared in the magic circle at the same time.
Gu Qingshan, who was transformed into a mountain girl, sat down on the futon and watched over Laura.
And the real Gu Qing Shan was about to leave.
The black horse stared at this scene with wide eyes.
Gu Qingshan patted its head and said: "The situation is very special, you rest here, I will come whenever I go."
The black horse nodded and said, "Are you going to fight? Then you should be careful."
Gu Qingshan smiled and swept out of the magic circle.
Facing the night wind, crossing the deep blood pit, running on the deserted road, passing through the streets full of strange dead bodies, Gu Qingshan moved forward all the way.
Unlike when he was with Laura, when Gu Qingshan was acting alone, he seemed to have no scruples about anything.
Like a bolt of lightning, he flew with all his might in the dead and silent city.
Di Jian and Chao Yin followed him closely and flew forward together.
Roar!
Whoooo!
Hee hee hee!
Mmmmm!
In front of him, countless strange voices, some angry, some laughing, some frightened, some crazy, were released all at once.
Gu Qingshan stopped and fell from the sky.
It's very close to the city center.
The front will enter the combat zone.
In Gu Qingshan's divine sense, there is hell, the Shura field, and it is a creepy place.
The average person entering such a place would probably leave an indelible memory of horror for the rest of their lives.
Gu Qingshan sighed, and murmured: "Fortunately fell asleep, the next scene is not suitable for children."
Holding the ground sword in his hand, he strode forward.
