Watching Gu Yuan walk away, Zhang Heng lowered his voice and asked with some confusion:
"Brother, why did you bring a stranger to us?"
"Do you know this is very dangerous?"
Seeing Zhang Heng's worried look, Zhang Yi laughed and waved his hands disapprovingly.
"Are we two brothers still afraid of him?"
"I will tell him about the situation in a moment."
"As long as he wants to successfully cross Hutou Mountain, he will definitely agree with our brothers' approach like everyone else around here."
"If you really don't agree, let's talk about it. It's okay. With so many of us, why are we afraid of him alone?"
Hearing what Zhang Yi said, Zhang Heng couldn't help but nodded.
"Okay, then you have a good talk with him. If you really don't agree, we have to make arrangements in advance."
"Don't worry, there is no fool who can enter this secret realm to participate in the inner disciple selection competition. He will definitely agree. If not, he will have to go through it alone and face thirty people by himself. What chance does he have of winning?"
"Well, that's true..."
The two brothers talked in low voices for a while, then saw Gu Yuan returning to them carrying two slaughtered hares, ready to roast the hares.
The brothers immediately stopped talking.
"Senior Brother Gu, please give me the rabbit. I'm also good at roasting game. Let's chat."
In order for his eldest brother Zhang Yi to better convince Gu Yuan, Zhang Heng stood up, took the hare from Gu Yuan's hand, and put it on the bonfire to roast.
Zhang Heng skillfully flipped the rabbit stuck in a branch in his hand. It looked like he often barbecued.
Gu Yuan withdrew his gaze.
Zhang Heng started roasting rabbit meat, while Zhang Yi smiled and invited Gu Yuan to sit next to him.
"Come on, Senior Brother Gu, are you hungry already?
Let’s eat some of this to satisfy our stomach first, the rabbit meat will take a while to be roasted.”
"Our brothers took advantage of you tonight so that we could eat this hare meat.
Otherwise, we will only have this to eat tonight."
Gu Yuan smiled nonchalantly and raised his hand to take the roasted plant rhizomes handed over by Zhang Yi.
This thing is a kind of potato, which is composed of starch. It tastes slightly like baked bread. After it is cooked over fire and sprinkled with a little salt, it tastes particularly delicious.
This kind of potato is not unfamiliar to Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan has found the roots of this kind of potato in the wild more than once to satisfy his hunger.
Seeing Gu Yuan eating the plant roots he handed him without any scruples, Zhang Yi felt very happy.
This actually shows that Gu Yuan has a good impression of the two brothers, at least he is not overly defensive.
You must know that in this situation, many people do not dare to eat food handed to them by strangers.
With this foundation, Zhang Yi feels that he will have a better chance of winning in what he has to do tomorrow.
Gu Yuan had already eaten the roots in two or three mouthfuls, and the hare meat was still a while away from being cooked.
Taking advantage of this free time, Zhang Yi told Gu Yuan exactly why so many people were stranded here.
After listening to Zhang Yi's words, it took Gu Yuan a while to digest them.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that things in this secret realm had developed to this point.
He was just about to ask Zhang Yi to explain the matter in detail when he heard Zhang Heng on the other side of the campfire say:
"Brother, Senior Brother Gu, the hare meat is ready. Come over and try my cooking..."
…
After taking the rabbit meat from Zhang Heng and having a fairly sumptuous dinner, the Zhang Yi brothers discussed with Gu Yuan what to do the next morning, and the three of them fell asleep around the campfire.
There was no words for the whole night, because he knew that no one had any intention of taking action, so Gu Yuan slept extremely soundly, and even dreamed about all the things he had done before on earth.
In the dream, Gu Yuan returned to the earth and met his former friends and Xia Wan.
Everyone was very happy around Gu Yuan, and they were still asking why Gu Yuan hadn't come back after being away for so long. Everything seemed to be back to the past.
Gu Yuan also dreamed that because he cultivated in the mysterious realm, he had no rivals when he returned to Earth.
At this time, Guan Zhishui suddenly stood up and accused Gu Yuan. He said that because Gu Yuan opened the channel between the earth and the mysterious realm, it caused the spiritual energy to flood on the earth, causing unpredictable consequences. He also said that Gu Yuan did not listen to advice.
, insisting on going your own way and harming the earth.
As soon as the scene changed, Gu Yuan dreamed that on earth, everyone could practice cultivation and there were cultivators everywhere.
Many cultivators who have stepped into the earth from the mysterious realm have become domineering and domineering on the earth, bullying men and dominating women.
For a time, the earth was filled with killings and rivers of blood.
Guan Zhishui pointed at the tragic scene on the earth and shouted to Gu Yuan: "Gu Yuan, open your eyes and look at this world. All of this is caused by you!"
…
When it got slightly brighter, Gu Yuan woke up from his sleep when he heard the sound of others tiptoeing around.
Alert from sleeping outdoors for many years, Gu Yuan immediately opened his eyes and stood up.
"Senior Brother Gu, are you awake?
Did I disturb you?"
Zhang Yi, who was adding firewood to the campfire, said hello to Gu Yuan.
"No, I just woke up."
Gu Yuan smiled from Zhang Yi, got up and went to the mountain stream nearby to wash up.
There were other people washing up there, but everyone was in peace and no one had any intention of doing anything.
Even when they look into each other's eyes, they will nod politely or smile slightly to show their goodwill.
When he came back, Zhang Yi had already prepared breakfast.
Zhang Yi cooked some fungi and a bit of rabbit meat left over from yesterday, and made a full pot of rabbit meat and mushroom soup.
From a distance, you can smell the fragrant fragrance.
When Gu Yuan came back, Zhang Heng was already drinking first.
The three of them ate the full pot of hare, mountain mushroom soup.
As soon as he finished eating, Zhang Yi couldn't wait to take Gu Yuan and his younger brother Zhang Heng to the tiger's mouth not far away.
After climbing over a hill covered with shrubs, the location of the tiger's mouth of Hutou Mountain is clearly visible.
Gu Yuan squinted his eyes and saw that under the fog that had not completely dissipated in the early morning, he could vaguely see a mountain col that was sunken inward, shaped like a tiger's open mouth.
I guess this is where the name Hutoushan comes from.
As long as you pass through the "big mouth", you can continue to climb Hutou Mountain and go down the mountain behind Hutou Mountain. After descending the mountain, you will reach the prairie marked on the sect map.
At the west end of the prairie, passing through a forest, is Qianxiong Mountain where Qianxiong Temple is located.
"Senior Brother Gu, look over there, they are all gathered there to intercept us.
It's been several days and I still have no intention of leaving.
This green mist is almost here, and seeing that time is running out, everyone is very anxious."
