Chapter 212 The Second Apprentice
After Chu Jun was quiet for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about this problem."
If you say you don't want to, how can you really not want to?
Whenever her mind drifts away, her thoughts can't help but wander to this issue, thinking about who this person is who still refuses to meet her with his true face.
The names that flashed through her sea of consciousness... were less than five fingers in number, and they belonged to people from the past and present.
Because she really can't think of anyone in the Taoist sect in the world today who can be more amazing than the Guanzhu - maybe there is, but aren't those people already dead?
"And you said something to me before."
With this in mind, she said to Gu Zhuo, "I don't need to know who you are."
Gu Zhuo thought for a while and said, "It seems that I have said such a thing before."
As he spoke, he sank into the hot spring water again, and felt that the skylight was a bit dazzling, so he let the Sansheng Pagoda come to the top of his head to cast shade and bring warmth.
This couldn't be more pleasant.
Chu Jun's voice sounded again.
"I'm not used to lying."
She said seriously: "So you can rest assured that even if I return to the temple, I will still have the same answer to this question."
Gu Zhuo asked: "Do you think it all depends on you?"
Don't mean anything in your words.
Chu Jun was silent for a while, then suddenly changed the topic and said, "How long do you have to wash yourself? I've been waiting outside for almost half an hour, haven't you washed yourself yet?"
Gu Zhuo thought to himself, is this urgent?
"Now."
He said lazily, stood up somewhat slowly, let the hot spring water slide down his scarred body, and stepped onto the ground with his bare feet.
He took out the clothes left in Sansheng Pagoda and put them on carefully, as well as his shoes and socks. Finally, he put on a black robe again, and that was all.
After walking out of the thick fog, Chu Jun stood at the foot of a hillside outside the hot spring, looking up at the sky today.
When she heard the sound of snow being stepped on, she withdrew her gaze and said, "Keep walking."
Gu Zhuo looked at her.
At this time, the sky was dim, the depths of the mountains were not dark, and the picture was considered clear.
The girl still looked like she did when she was digging the hole. She was covered in dirt, her hair was mixed with sand and gravel, and she looked extremely rough, like a girl who had been working as a farmer in a remote mountainous area all year round.
Gu Zhuo said: "Do you want to wash it?"
Chu Jun thought for a while and asked: "Do you want to dig another hole?"
Gu Zhuo said calmly: "That's definitely what I want."
Chu Jun was speechless, looked at him and asked, "Then what's the difference between me washing and not washing?"
Gu Zhuo thought to himself that it seemed reasonable, and said: "You can pursue the goal of not letting any dust get on you when digging holes."
Chu Jun said calmly: "I don't have the persistence and hobby of wearing white clothes like snow."
"Who has it?"
"It's not you anyway."
"Why?"
"You are wearing a black robe now."
Gu Zhuo had nothing to say.
Chu Jun looked at him and suddenly said: "You have to work harder and more selflessly to teach me."
Gu Zhuo hummed, with a nasal sound, indicating curiosity.
Chu Jun said seriously: "Because I don't want to know who you are, and I don't want my teacher to know who you are, and you are the only one who can do this now."
Gu Zhuo appreciated this natural attitude very much and said seriously: "Okay."
The words didn't stop there, the two used the skylight as a guide to continue moving forward.
Chu Jun looked back and still felt it was amazing that there were hot springs in such a desolate and desperate situation.
Is this considered a great blessing?
Walking in the cold wind, she thought about these meaningless things, and suddenly realized that she had not experienced a battle for a long time.
"The road ahead is still long, there will always be that moment."
Gu Zhuo said: "But not now."
Chu Jun nodded slightly, glanced at Sansheng Tower, and asked: "How long can you last?"
She could deduce many things without asking.
For example, the Sansheng Tower cannot cover up the aura without any cost, allowing the two of them to leave the mountains and step out of the wasteland without anyone noticing.
For example, the old sword on Gu Zhuo's waist was clearly meant to be slow. The moment the blade of the sword met the world, time stopped.
Of course she is extremely curious about these two things, but she is also aware of the fact that the price required to use these two things is definitely not what she can bear now.
It wasn't because she saw Gu Zhuo bleeding with her own eyes after he drew his sword, but because she had personally experienced the 'arrival' of the viewer.
"An hour."
Gu Zhuo said: "Find a suitable place along the way and continue digging."
Chu Jun was very puzzled and asked: "Won't the high priest find out?"
Gu Zhuo said: "Maybe he is an idiot, but the God he believes in is obviously not, so of course he will find out."
After hearing this, Chu Jun couldn't help but glance at him and said, "You talk more."
"Because I'm in a good mood."
Gu Zhuo's voice was a little brisk: "The reason is that I don't think I will die..."
The words stopped abruptly.
Chu Jun asked with a strange look on his face: "Are you trying to avoid taboos?"
Gu Zhuo nodded, thought about it again, and said, "We won't dig holes anymore."
Chu Jun was slightly startled, thinking, could this be done on a whim?
She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt lost.
Maybe it was because she had been thinking about how to dig holes faster and gain more, but now she suddenly found that all her thinking was in vain?
"Then what are we going to do?"
"Visit the Demon Sect here."
"Huh?"
Chu Jun was stunned.
Gu Zhuo smiled and said: "Have you forgotten who I am?"
Chu Jun then recalled that he was still the leader of the Destiny Sect and stopped talking.
Gu Zhuo said: "Although there is little contact between the demons, I am still the leader of the first sect of the demons, so I should be able to get some due respect, right?"
Chu Jun thought to himself that there was no friendship between demons and heretics, so he was not sure and asked: "Is it possible?"
After saying this, she suddenly stopped and said sternly: "If you decide to do this, then I need to go back and take a shower to do my best to show off my appearance."
Gu Zhuo waved his hand, indicating that she could just go.
Not long after, he listened to the faint sound of water in the distant hot mist, and suddenly recalled the Cangshan Mountain that was forever shrouded in wind and snow, and wondered if Yu Sheng had ever had such a time?
Then he put away his unnecessary thoughts and began to speak.
The words describe a skill.
——The skill of disguising himself and concealing his aura that he created temporarily when he stepped into the wasteland.
In the hot spring, Chu Jun sighed inaudibly, thinking that he really had no leisure at all on this journey.
Well, there shouldn't be any free time on the way to escape.
Thinking like this, she forced herself to pick up her energy and began to study this technique.
Half an hour later, the matter came to an end for the time being.
Chu Jun returned to Gu Zhuo and asked the latter to look at him.
Her face was still good-looking, but she had an unreal feeling. Every time she looked at her, it was like seeing a brand new person, which was extremely strange and terrifying.
"Amazing."
Gu Zhuo was so moved that he clapped his hands sincerely and said in admiration: "You are really better than the old. Why didn't I think that this technique can also be used to scare people?"
Chu Jun paused and said: "I just haven't practiced well yet. I didn't mean to practice like this."
Gu Zhuo was a little curious and asked: "Do you think I'm acting strangely?"
Chu Jun didn't want to talk anymore.
Gu Zhuo said: "Choose a name, think of it as a meeting gift from me."
Chu Jun thought that this meeting gift came too late.
Then, her eyes fell on the place where the clouds and mist refused to disperse, and she said thoughtfully: "When Yun Wuxin comes out of Xiu, this skill is called Wuxin Xianghe."
Gu Zhuo was very satisfied with this name, because what he was least good at was naming.
Chu Jun looked at him and bowed seriously.
Gu Zhuo deserves it.
……
……
The road ahead will not be smooth, of course because of the unsustainability of Sansheng Tower.
That kind of situation of gradually drifting away from the whole world comes again.
What was different from before was that Chu Jun perceived all of this more truly, or in other words, he saw clearly those desolate people who always appeared in front of him.
The reason is simple.
It was no longer Gu Zhuo who committed the murder, it was her, just like she had been hiding underground digging holes before.
Although it makes no sense, Chu Jun's injuries are actually almost healed. He is no longer in the tragic situation where he could die at any time, and there is no longer any reason not to use the sword.
What's more, she originally wanted to see the results of her practice.
Gu Zhuo was happy and free.
Fighting to support fighting has no meaning for his practice.
He just walked lazily behind, watching Chu Jun holding Zhe Xue and fighting with Huang Ren, feeling quite idle.
So he thought of Pei Jinge and thought that it must have been the same for you when you were walking in Chaozhou City.
This feels good.
It would be better if Pei Jinge could appear by his side now and protect him from the wasteland.
pity.
They are all extravagant thoughts.
At a certain moment, Chu Jun swung his sword to chop off the head of the last desert man, his breath becoming unstable.
She took a deep breath and smelled the smell of blood in the air. The sword she held in her hand felt more and more familiar, but it was not any sword she had seen before.
"Where is the mountain gate of Chiyin Sect?"
Chu Jun raised his head and asked, looking somewhere in the mountains.
Gu Zhuo put his hands behind his back and said, "Yeah."
Chu Jun thought about the secrets of the Chiyin Sect that Taoist Zizi had told him, but still felt too disgusted. He frowned tightly and asked, "Can't I visit another sect?"
“I won’t change it.”
The explanation given by Gu Zhuo was very straightforward: "The decision to visit the Demon Sect was an impromptu decision of mine. However, Chiyin Sect is the nearest Demon Sect, so this may be God's will."
Chu Jun couldn't help but said: "But God wants you to die now."
Gu Zhuo said: "Destroy and then stand up again, survive from the dead... Well, the current situation is indeed not bad enough to need to do this. My idea is actually very simple, that is, give it a try. You can't hide all the time, then you should How long will it take to hide before you get out?”
Chu Jun looked at him and asked: "By the way, find out how the so-called God wants you to die?" Gu Zhuo sighed and said: "Actually, it has been asking me to die, but I haven't died yet. .”
"How to die?"
"Death of old age."
Chu Jun didn't want to talk anymore.
She couldn't help but start thinking about that question again - who is Gu Zhuo.
She couldn't think of any patriarch in the Taoist sect who had a temperament that was cool and unrestrained at best, and reckless at worst. He always personally destroyed the image of a senior master that he had built up.
Gu Zhuo's voice floated lazily: "I'm serious."
Chu Jun hummed.
Gu Zhuo said: "Let's go."
Chu Jun turned around, held the snow in his hand, and opened the way ahead.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The two still had something to chat about.
"It's a pity that this is deep in the wilderness, otherwise I would have asked you to find me a white horse to ride on."
"Why the white horse?"
"There is an extremely wonderful story in it. I am happy to share it with you. Unfortunately, I have basically forgotten about it."
"So why did you suddenly remember this story?"
"It comes from my feeling that if I am eaten, people can live forever."
"...Aren't you afraid that I will be tempted by you?"
"Although I don't admit it at the moment, and you don't want to, the fact is that you are my second apprentice, so I have never thought about this issue, but... this may be a bit humiliating to you."
"I don't understand it at all."
"This is best. If you understand what I am saying, then I will be uneasy."
"Why?"
"Do you know what people like and hate the most?"
"Then do you know who I hate the most right now?"
"Quite curious."
"A person like you who refuses to speak straightforwardly and insists on covering up half of things."
"What you hate makes sense. Just like what I love and hate most is myself, it is also the same reason. It is difficult for me to accept that there is a leaf in the world who has the same experience as me."
"...I suddenly have a feeling now."
"Please speak."
"You are perhaps the most narcissistic person I have ever met."
"It's okay. What I want is actually not much. There is no one like me in the world."
Gu Zhuo and Chu Jun chatted briefly, never falling silent because of the sudden change in temperature after stepping out of the hot spring area, because the latter needed to relieve his mental fatigue, while the former had the desire to chat.
At this time, the two of them were still walking in the mountain ravine, moving at a neither fast nor slow speed, approaching the peak where the gate of Chiyin Sect was located.
The road was still uneasy, but the pressure on Chu Jun's shoulders was less. She only needed to rely on what she learned from Gu Zhuo and avoid the battle between the Huangren and the Chiyin disciples as much as possible, so that she could have a safe journey.
The battle between the two sides was very fierce. The snow was almost covered with blood, and broken limbs were flying everywhere. From time to time, arms and other things could be stepped on in the snow.
Chu Jun became more and more numb, and his expression became more and more indifferent.
She suddenly asked: "Who is the senior brother you are talking about?"
Gu Zhuo's eyes changed slightly, like clouds in the sky, and he said with emotion: "A person with great obsession."
Chu Jun thought for a moment and said, "I don't think I have any obsessions, including reviving Taoism."
Gu Zhuo said: "This is also one of the important reasons why I am willing to teach you."
"Really?"
Chu Jun looked back at him and said suspiciously: "Why do I always feel that you are temporarily fooling me."
Gu Zhuo smiled, his smile full of self-deprecation, and said: "What I am worst at is making amends after the fact."
Otherwise I wouldn't have ended up like this.
He did not put these words into words because the past was sordid and not humane.
Chu Jun stopped.
Not far away, more than a hundred deserters gathered together, seemingly preparing to step into the mountain gate of Chiyin Sect.
She asked: "For such an amazing person like you, why has no one come to help you until now?"
"Because I'm really awesome."
Gu Zhuo said honestly: "Those who really know me and have some guesses about my identity will conclude from the bottom of their hearts that I will never die in the wilderness. As for those who don't fully know me, it is even easier. , they have no ability to come here and rescue me.”
Chu Jun didn't agree with this sentence, because the master of the temple had never erased her memory, so she knew that the Supreme Elder Yishui had appeared before and came for Gu Zhuo.
If this peerless powerful man with a sword in feathers takes action, what will happen even if there are ten more high priests?
Gu Zhuo guessed what she was thinking and said, "Of course I can leave the wasteland if I do this, but I will really die."
Chu Jun couldn't understand it, so he didn't think much about it.
Gu Zhuo thought to himself that Shendu must have received news about the accident in the wasteland by this time.
Then Bai Nanming must have reacted. Judging from her current temperament, she should be in a state of doubt now.
As long as he didn't finish everything and left a thin veil to cover it up, there would still be room for change.
"Then why is there a first time?" Chu Jun asked: "Let that person draw the sword."
"What's there to ask about such a simple thing?"
Gu Zhuo rolled his eyes and said: "No matter in the past, present or future, no one in this world can know everything, so I really didn't expect that a fake feather would appear in front of me."
Chu Jun thought thoughtfully and said, "Have you been noticed by God from the moment you set foot on the wilderness?"
Gu Zhuo fell silent.
After a while, he said: "Maybe."
Chu Jun looked into his eyes and said word by word: "Then you are really amazing."
Gu Zhuo smiled casually and said, "Because I am so favorably treated by God?"
"Yes."
Chu Jun said sincerely: "Who can not admit that this is a great thing?"
Gu Zhuo said: "It makes sense, you should always be optimistic in life."
Chu Jun thought to himself, I probably know who you are.
……
……
I don't know how long it took, but the deserters waiting in front of the mountain road suddenly left, as if they had been ordered to be transferred.
Gu Zhuo watched the deserted man leave, and the wind brought him the sounds of all things.
——Yu Yang fell into a siege.
He could probably think of why the other party fell into this situation, but his mood was unmoved.
Along the way, he was not only chatting with Chu Jun, but also chatting with everything in the room.
It is really not easy to do two things while chatting without making a single mistake from the beginning to the end.
Just like he is still half disabled, but he is walking on the road to the Chiyin Sect's mountain gate, walking with his hands behind his back, looking very calm.
Chu Jun was beside him, half a step behind, holding an umbrella for him.
The two of them were no different from ordinary mountaineers.
At this time, this is the most unusual thing.
As early as the first time, the followers of Chiyin Sect had noticed the appearance of the two men, but due to Gu Zhuo's extraordinary momentum and the difficulty of the current situation, they did not dare to take action rashly and allowed him to climb the steps until they reached the mountain. in front of the door.
Gu Zhuo stopped.
While Chu Jun raised the oil-paper umbrella, he thought about how a demon sect witch should behave, trying to make herself as perfect as possible.
The next moment, she smiled with the corners of her lips slightly raised, showing a hint of arrogance and disdain, but her tone was gentle: "Please inform the head of your religion that Master and I are here to worship the mountain."
The Chiyin disciple said: "Who are you?"
Chu Jun said: "Destiny Sect."
The disciple's expression became solemn and he asked: "Who is your master?"
Chu Jun said calmly: "He is the real person in charge of the contemporary teaching."
……
……
For the Chiyin Sect, the three words Tianming Sect have extraordinary significance.
The origin of the Chiyin Sect is a secret to outsiders, but it is obviously not to the elders living here. Therefore, they know very well that this sudden visit is likely to affect the leader's mind and make him crazy again, and they dare not neglect it. Even a little bit.
In this matter, this group of evil cultivators, who are famous for their madness in the wasteland, behaved surprisingly normally.
For this reason, a very senior elder in the religion came to greet them in person, asked them their purpose, and as expected, received the answer they least expected.
——The new leader of the Destiny Sect, Zhenren, is very interested in the old events and hopes to chat with the leader face to face.
The senior elder seriously excused himself, saying that the leader had fought a battle with a strong man from the Huangren and was currently in seclusion to heal his wounds, and could not leave the seclusion to meet the two of them for the time being.
Gu Zhuo understood very well and decided to stay.
During this period, he completely ignored the elder's rare sober pleading eyes, and just thought that the best way to prevent the lunatic from going crazy was to bring up someone even crazier than him.
That night, the entire Chiyin Sect learned of the visit of the master of the Destiny Sect.
The reason is simple.
Chu Jun was accompanied by someone and took a brief walk around the mountain gate of Chiyin Sect, so that everyone could see her unreal beauty with their own eyes.
When she returned to her guest house, she looked at Gu Zhuo with complicated eyes and asked seriously: "Am I betraying my appearance?"
Gu Zhuo shook his head and said in a serious and sincere tone: "I think you just let people see the beautiful side of the world."
Chu Jun looked at him and didn't want to speak.
A sigh sounded.
Gu Zhuo suddenly changed the topic and said sadly: "Don't imitate me."
Chu Jun was startled and asked, "What did I learn from you?"
Gu Zhuo said: "I can't bear to lose face."
Chu Jun was silent for a long time, looked at him with complicated eyes, and said, "Why don't I think you are embarrassed?"
"I mean I can't bear to look at my face."
Gu Zhuo still answered honestly.
Chu Jun was speechless after hearing this.
She once again doubted her judgment and thought, if you were really the one who came back from the dead and returned to the world, how could you be so speechless?
Then it seemed to her that it made perfect sense.
If this were the case, if the Taoist sect lost to Da Qin a hundred years ago... things would seem to become more reasonable?
Thinking about these messy things, she said: "So why do you come to Chiyin Sect?"
"Don't you understand?"
Gu Zhuo glanced at her and said, "What else could it be if it wasn't to divert trouble to the east?"
Chu Jun was stunned.
Gu Zhuo coughed, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Of course, I prefer the words "Xingdao for Heaven."
