The area of the cave is not large, only about 200 square meters. There are two simple beds and tables inside. It is not dark due to the light from outside.
"Brother Ji, the two of us will have to depend on each other here for a while." Gu Zheng said jokingly.
"Brother Gu, you are joking. Your injuries are much more serious than mine. You need to heal your wounds as soon as possible." Ji Yi's personality is not that free and easy. It seems that he is used to being an elder and is not used to this, but he still tried his best to persuade.
It seemed that Ji Yi's internal injuries were so severe, unlike Gu Zheng who could still walk back by himself talking and laughing all the way, but in fact, Gu Zheng was indeed much worse than Ji Yi.
Ji Yi's injuries were only internal injuries, and he could fully recover with a little more time. Although Gu Zheng's physical injuries were not that serious, his mental trauma was serious.
The consequences are so great that you may even be unable to make any progress for the rest of your life.
There are too many such examples out there, or there is no time to heal, or some things are delayed. In short, it is such a pity.
Gu Zheng also understood that without saying anything, it was best to sit cross-legged on the same bed and quietly closed his eyes. Ji Yi also sat down on the other bed.
In the cave, there was only the breathing of two people, and no other sounds. It turned out that they had placed a sound isolation circle at the door. If they wanted to call them, there was a bell on each table. Once pressed, the guards outside would call.
Knowing which one rings, they will know who is looking for them.
Or just come out and give them orders, but I guess no one will be needed for a long time.
Spring comes and autumn falls. Although there are no changes in the four seasons here, Gu Zheng still counts the time. It has been a year since he came to lead the valley, and he has completely recovered in this year.
Opening his eyes again, a bright light flashed through his eyes, illuminating everything in the cave. This time, he consolidated and returned to his peak state.
Walking out of the cave, looking at the extremely familiar scene outside, and thinking that I was about to leave here, I felt excited.
"Brother Gu Zheng, you look good today." Ji Yi, who was outside, looked at Gu Zheng with a smile. Ji Yi and Gu Zheng became good friends in this year, but he regarded Gu Zheng more as his own.
Looking at the younger generation, the two of them often competed and practiced to see if there were any hidden dangers in themselves.
"Yes, this time it took more than ten days to fully recover." Gu Zheng was also in a good mood. He finally no longer had to hold it in here. He felt like his body was about to get rusty.
"Okay, come on, let's have a simple test to see if you are really back to normal." Jiyi came prepared and threw a long sword from his hand.
"Okay, Brother Ji, you can be merciful." Gu Zheng caught the sword. He would sometimes spar with each other some time ago. Each duel was not satisfying, and he was cautious, for fear of aggravating his injuries.
"I told you to be gentle, my old bones can't bear your torment."
"Brother Gu, you are an upright man in your prime. I still want to respect the old and love the young. Don't bully me."
The two were talking, laughing, and joking, but the ones at their feet had already rushed forward like lightning, with two long swords sandwiched between them, Gu Zheng and Ji Yi facing each other.
"You are not authentic." Ji Yi looked at that unusually young face.
"Each other, each other." Gu Zheng chuckled. Both of them wanted to strike first and suppress each other first.
Ji Yi exerted force in his hand, and Gu Zheng retreated. The two people separated again, and then collided with each other again. For a moment, the two people tossed and turned in the small open space on this side, rolling up and down, and the sound of swords clashing continued to be heard.
.
Neither of them used their magical power. They only relied on the strength and moves in their hands to compete. For fear of destroying the valley, especially the cave next to it, the two of them consciously stayed away.
The sword light and shadow dazzled the guards watching this scene. Unexpectedly, the moves in their hands were also so perfect. Not a single swing wasted any energy. Every time they stabbed the opponent, they had a deep intention to follow their intended direction and attack.
It must be saved.
Look at General Ji's iron waist, very standard, and his body and bones are really not weak for these young people, and General Gu, whose sword never leaves General Ji's vitals, he promised to respect his elders.
Elder Qin Gu Zheng has conferred the title of General on Gu Zheng, but the title does not have other privileges.
While he was marveling, he suddenly saw Wu Xiu coming from a distance. He quickly stood up and looked straight ahead, not secretly watching the two of them fighting.
It can be said that Wu Xiu is in charge of all logistics, and she is also in charge of herself. She cannot let her see her peeking at their fight, otherwise she will inevitably be criticized.
In fact, Wu Xiuzai saw him peeking in secretly. When he saw the situation, he knew that the two of them were fighting inside.
Wu Xiuzhen had a headache. He told them countless times but they didn't listen and started beating him secretly.
"Hello, Sister Xiu." When the guard saw Wu Xiu coming, he quickly shouted loudly to remind people inside that she was here.
How could Wu Xiu not know what was going on here and gave him a fierce look? But who gave her such a high status? Her management level was very good and everyone was willing to scream. Wu Xiu was opposed to it at first, but then she
I'm used to it, I can't talk about others, and I can't control myself.
Wu Xiu turned the corner and saw Gu Zheng and Ji Yi standing on the side, the long swords in their hands had long disappeared, talking to a piece of grass in front of them.
"Brother Ji, you see that the grass is much greener than last year. It seems to be growing well." Gu Zheng said seriously.
"Yes, it seems that the output of green liquid in the valley this year is good, otherwise it would not be so gratifying." Ji Yi also agreed.
The two of them had been fighting before, but things went wrong and they accidentally left a crater on the side of the valley. Wu Xiu was so distressed that he ignored their status and avoided talking to them for a whole day.
The reason was that they were both scared. They couldn't defeat each other, and they couldn't cover her mouth because they were in the wrong.
Wu Xiu looked at the two of you pretending, so why are your clothes torn and why are there so many small holes on the ground? However, Wu Xiu didn't care about this. There was something going on this time.
"You two, stop pretending, General Ji, Brother Gu, the elder has something to do with you." Wu Xiu said angrily.
Only then did Gu Zheng and Ji Yi turn their heads to look at Wu Xiu.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Ji Yi looked anxious. As far as memories are concerned, this has become his home and there is no room for any danger.
"No, something else must have happened." Wu Xiu thought for a while, and found that many companions had been added to the group this year, but he had not heard of anything happening.
"That's good, I understand. We'll go there later." Ji Yi decided directly. He had spent enough time here. If he hadn't thought about waiting for his brother Gu to join him, he would have gone out long ago.
Wu Xiu informed the other party of the elder's position and left in a hurry. Today, several new partners came all of a sudden, and he had to personally receive them. There were so many things going on now, and he didn't trust those people, they were careless.
"Brother Gu, please pack up and let's go." Ji Yi asked,
"Well, okay, wait for me a moment." Gu Zheng hurriedly returned to the cave, looked at the little bug that was still a chrysalis, thought for a while, and arranged a magic circle next to it. If the bug wakes up, it will hear it.
Your own message.
After Gu Zheng came here, Elder Qin also sent Xiao Chong over, and he was here with Gu Zheng, but Xiao Chong was still in the form of a pupa, but his breathing was stable. He asked Brother Ji what was going on.
I really don’t know.
Brother Ji briefly listened to the reason and told Gu Zheng that she might have consumed too much and fell into a deep sleep, but don't worry, nothing will happen. Just wait until she recovers. There is no need for you to be anxious. If you wake her up now, her injuries will be damaged.
unfavorable.
Gu Zheng thought so and listened to Brother Ji, so he placed Xiao Chong next to him and built a mini nest for her.
I left this time. I didn’t know if there was any task entrusted to me, so I left a message directly so that Xiaochong could wake up and feel at ease.
After arranging everything, Gu Zheng and Jiyi came to the top of the valley, going up a steep path on the side.
Elder Qin is usually here alone, guarding the green liquid above. There is a small pool here, and Elder Qin is sitting in a pavilion beside the pool, waiting for him.
It was also the first time for Gu Zheng to come to the top. From here, he could see far away, but most of it was covered by dense trees and he couldn't see below.
The pool is all filled with green liquid, and some is produced from the pool every moment. No one knows the principle, and no one wants to see what is below. As for the place where the green liquid is produced, no one knows
Don't dare to take risks.
Moreover, the life energy of the air here is even richer, but it was all sucked away by the pavilion and refined into drops of green liquid. It seems that the green liquid is really precious, and the little bit that escapes is not willing to let go.
"Elder Qin." Gu Zheng Jiyi shouted at the same time.
"Well, you are here. First of all, congratulations on your recovery." Elder Qin first congratulated you, and then said with a serious expression, "But, there is a very important thing you need to do next."
"Please give me the elder's instructions." The two people said in unison.
"There is a secret mission that you need to carry out. You take this thing." Elder Qin handed over two ink-colored balls, "It's best if you hang them on your waist. Don't lose them. There are only two.
, don’t attract other people’s attention, and don’t make too much noise.”
"Elder, what is this?" Gu Zheng looked at the ink beads in his hand that were as big as glass balls. They felt good, but why were they hung on his waist?
"I need you to find a person, or a snake." Elder Qin said seriously, "If there are traces of him nearby, the ink beads will light up. The closer you are to him, the more frequently the beads will light up."
high."
"Why are you looking for it?" Gu Zheng raised the ink beads in his hand and kept trying to explore the structure inside. Unfortunately, his spiritual consciousness went in and never came back. Gu Zheng was so frightened that he did not dare to try again.
Elder Qin glared at Gu Zheng, "Why are you talking so much and why don't you let me finish what I said? After that, you are asking, look at Ji Yi, how steady he is, have you asked anything yet?"
"Okay, elder, hurry up and say it." Gu Zheng quickly imitated Ji Yi and stood still, looking like he was listening.
"If the other party is insane and attacks you, then throw the beads in your hand to him, and he will naturally swallow them. If he is insane, then tell her directly and ask him to go to Xuan Feng, and he will naturally know
Already."
"Remember, don't try to fight head-on with the other party. The other party is stronger than me."
Elder Qin finished speaking in one breath, "If you have anything to ask, you can ask."
This time, it was Ji Yi who spoke first, "Elder Qin, where is he you are looking for? Is he in the middle or with us? Maybe even on the opposite side. Maybe he is no longer there."
Ji Yi threw out all the questions in his mind at once, and Gu Zheng nodded at the side. Those were the questions he wanted to ask, such as how to find the space in such a big space, and how to find it if the other party was hiding in a corner.
"Don't worry about this." Elder Qin said firmly, "He won't be there, he can only be here with us or in the central forest, and you will also leave a scent when you search. He will also search for himself if he knows it."
It’s yours, so put the ink beads outside.”
"I got it." Ji Yi stepped back directly, and Gu Zheng stepped forward and asked, "Should the two of us search separately? Or can we bring the others with us?"
When Gu Zheng asked this question, he mainly thought about going out with Wu Xiaofeng so that they would not be delayed.
"We have to search separately. I'm telling you, the less people see this, the better. If someone asks you what you are doing, just tell the secret. Do you understand?"
"Oh, I got it." Gu Zheng seemed to have failed in his wish.
"As long as you know, I'll give you three days to clean up and then set off. The base is idle right now and we don't need you to carry out any big tasks." Elder Qin directly issued the final order.
"Um, elder," Gu Zheng asked one more question.
"Say." Elder Qin looked at the flattering look on Gu Zheng's face and said angrily.
"That little bug is still in the cave. Please help me take good care of it." Gu Zheng continued to demand for the sake of the little bug, licking his face.
"Don't worry, you don't need to tell me that I will take good care of you." Elder Qin turned around and ignored them.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng didn't have anything to ask anyway, so he just happened to go down with Ji Yi.
"Before you leave, don't forget to go to the logistics department to pick up some things. They are all ready for you." Just as he started to go down the mountain, Elder Qin's words drifted over again in the wind.
"I haven't finished my words yet, how rare it is for me." Gu Zheng muttered in his heart, "But don't give it up for free."
Gu Zheng would definitely not save Elder Qin. He successfully found Wu Xiu who was still busy in the logistics area. After briefly explaining his purpose, Wu Xiu ordered others to bring them what they had already prepared.
Two small bags were handed to the two of them, and Wu Xiu asked curiously, "What the elder arranged for you to do is so mysterious."
Gu Zheng stretched out a finger and shook it, "Secret."
Wu Xiu was so angry that his teeth itched, "Brother Ji, tell me."
Ji Yi told the truth, "No one can tell what the elder ordered, it's a secret."
Wu Xiu looked at Gu Zheng, who looked like he had known this before, and wished he could kill Gu Zheng.
However, he still took out two bottles from his hand and gave one to Gu Zheng and Ji Yi, "This is a small thing prepared for you. It is very helpful for recovering from injuries. It is best not to use it."
Wu Xiu knew that since Elder Qin sent the strongest combat forces from their two bases, there must be a special mission, so he had to prepare more healing elixirs just in case.
"Thank you." Gu Zheng truly knew that Wu Xiu was worried about them.
"Let's go quickly. Go early and come back early. I'm still busy." After saying that, Wu Xiu used excuses to pack her things.
Gu Zheng and Ji Yi left here together and stood at the door. Ji Yi looked behind him.
"She is a good girl." This suddenly popped out of Ji Yi's mouth.
"What, Lao Ji, you are not good at this, are you? You are many years older than her. Besides, you are not her type, right?" Gu Zheng was frightened by Ji Yi's sudden words and didn't say anything.
Brother Ji directly stated his age.
Although the age difference is not a problem, Gu Zheng always feels weird.
Ji Yi looked at Gu Zheng looking at him with a horrified look on his face, as if he was an old cow eating tender grass, and the middle-aged man couldn't help but say, "How old am I? I don't know, I just treat her as
Granddaughter, I’m telling you, don’t let her down, you know?”
Gu Zheng looked at Ji Yi who was a little angry and felt that he was overreacting, but when he heard Ji Yi's words, his reaction was even more overreacted and he jumped out of the way.
"Old Ji, you have to take responsibility for your words. Why did I let her down? It's like I did something bad. Don't ruin my reputation."
Ji Yi stepped closer to Gu Zheng and looked into Gu Zheng's eyes, "You understand what I mean, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb."
Gu Zheng looked at Ji Yi who was a little serious. It seemed that he really regarded Wu Xiu as his granddaughter. This was a lot of worry.
Gu Zheng lowered his head and remained silent for a while, not knowing what to think. He knew that Wu Xiu had a good impression of him, but he really had his reasons and it was hard to explain.
Gu Zheng sighed and said with a wry smile, "Brother Ji, I also have my own difficulties, but I really have no way to express them."
A low cry came to my ears. When I looked up, I saw that it was Wu Xiu who was hiding at the door and eavesdropping. But after hearing this, I couldn't help it and ran back to the room. My uncivilized heart withered.
.
Ji Yi just kept looking at Gu Zheng like this, not really believing it, but it would be good if Nizi knew about it as soon as possible because emotional matters should not be forced.
"Really, maybe I won't be able to achieve results in this life." Seeing that Ji Yi didn't believe it, Gu Zheng explained again, because he used the master's body to achieve it. If they have to be combined together, then the monstrous history will be
The rollers will roll and crush each other to pieces.
Some are destined to have no results, and some are destined not to be done. Even if they know it, they can't or dare not do it. If they try to stop it, they will disappear into the world without waiting for the saint to take action.
