Chapter 2 Shock

Unsure of the condition of the old man in white robe, Gu Xuan did not search him rashly, but looked around the cave a few times before walking out of the cave entrance.

Standing on the trunk of the banyan tree, with the breeze blowing on his face, Gu Xuan looked around.

The surroundings were hazy and dreamy, with unknown vines and familiar shrubs growing on the cliffs.

"This should be Gumu Cliff."

Gu Xuan was most worried about being in a far away place. Now that he had made a judgment, he was secretly relieved.

Walking along the main trunk, sometimes pushing aside the obstructing branches and leaves, the smell of the silver python lingers in your nose.

Gu Xuan stopped, and the branches in front of him seemed to be broken by heavy objects.

"It seems that I fell off the cliff because of the colorful light attack."

After thinking about it secretly, Gu Xuan checked his body and found no wounds except that his clothes were torn in many places.

Suddenly, there was a growl in the stomach. It was not yet noon. This would never happen before, but now he was hungry, as if he hadn't eaten in several days.

Gu Xuan looked surprised, his whole body twisted, his bones creaked continuously, and he seemed to have endless strength.

"Is it an illusion?"

Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows and wanted to verify it. He held a branch as thick as a baby's arm and folded it hard.

With a click, the branch broke due to stress. It was so easy, but it was difficult to do in the past.

"this……"

Gu Xuan was very surprised, his strength at least doubled.

Even though there are many questions, it is useless to speculate blindly. The top priority is to leave this place.

Gu Xuan looked at the cliff again, his eyes flickering, and he weighed it repeatedly.

With the help of vines and shrubs, and with the inexplicable increase in strength now, I hope I can climb up.

Turning his head, he suddenly saw a dagger stuck in a certain branch, and his eyes lit up.

When he came closer, Gu Xuan hesitated. The dagger seemed to belong to the old man in the cave. It might be inappropriate to take it away by himself.

But the dagger was helpful for climbing the cliff. Gu Xuan gritted his teeth, resolutely grasped the handle, and pulled out the dagger in one fell swoop.

Gu Xuan's vigilant eyes swept towards the entrance of the cave, and after waiting for a while, he saw no reaction from the cave, Gu Xuan felt a little relieved.

The dagger is only about a foot long, is gray-white in color, has two blades, and is made into a snake shape. The handle is the snake's head, which is lifelike.

After a few cursory glances, Gu Xuan held the snake-shaped dagger in his hand and came to the entrance of the cave.

He swung the dagger hard, and the dagger was easily inserted into the stone wall without reaching the handle. He swung it hard again and pulled it out immediately.

.

Gu Xuan's face was filled with joy. With the help of this treasure, his hope of climbing Gumu Cliff was greatly increased.

He glanced at the cave. It was dark inside, and the cave was curved, making it impossible to see what was going on inside the cave.

Giving up the idea of ​​saying goodbye to the white-robed old man, Gu Xuan took a deep breath and began to climb up the cliff.

Gu Xuan used his hands and feet to grasp vines and shrubs, or insert the dagger into the rock, with his feet stepping on the fulcrum.

The cliffs are stacked with rocks, and when you encounter rocks that protrude outwards, climbing is quite difficult. If you don't have the help of a snake-shaped dagger, you may fall off the cliff again.

The hard work paid off. Gu Xuan climbed while resting and persevered. After an hour, he finally reached the top of the cliff.

Lying on the rock where he was chanting the book, Gu Xuan spread his limbs, panting, sweating profusely, and too lazy to move.



Above the mountains, a handsome crane flapped its wings and flew slowly in the sky.

A pair of young men and women with outstanding faces sat cross-legged on the back of the crane.

The man is thin, dressed in white, and has a hint of arrogance between his brows. He carries two long swords on his back.

The woman was dressed in a pink outfit, with a long sword slung across her shoulder, and a delicate pouch at her waist, which seemed to contain a hidden weapon.

The two looked intimate, obviously a couple, and their eyes glanced at the ground from time to time, as if they were looking for something.

The crane suddenly raised its neck and roared, signaling the presence of someone on the cliff ahead.

The man in white stared into the distance and patted Linghe on the head: "Gillian, don't scream nonsense, that person is obviously not."

Linghe shook his head and made a clear sound to express his dissatisfaction.

"You are really a pair of enemies, and you quarrel from time to time." The woman in pink smiled slightly, with a certain temperament, "There is only such a person within dozens of miles, let me go and ask."

"That's fine." The man in white nodded and flapped the crane's wings, "Gillian, come closer."

With an arrogant cry, the spirit crane turned its direction and flew towards Gumu Cliff.



Gu Xuan was still lying on the rock, recalling the previous bizarre encounter.

Suddenly I heard the sound of cranes and discovered two uninvited guests.

Gu Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around quickly, hid the snake-shaped dagger in his arms, and sat up as if nothing had happened.

Gu Xuan has a deep understanding of the sharpness of the snake-shaped dagger. During the process of climbing the cliff, piercing the rocks is like piercing tofu.

Reminiscent of the fact that the dagger is probably a monk's treasure, he naturally doesn't want to attract the attention of outsiders, lest it be taken away from him.

The identity of the old man in white robe is unknown. If he comes looking for him in the future, the dagger must be returned and should be kept properly.

Seeing the spirit crane flying towards this side, Gu Xuan simply stood up, secretly alert in his heart.

If the visitor is unkind and has no choice but to jump off the cliff again, hoping that the old banyan tree can catch him.



The crane flew close, hovering low in the sky, its wings slowly flapping.

Hemu glanced at Gu Xuan and hummed softly, as if to say hello.

Gu Xuan had not yet dealt with spiritual beasts, so he did not respond and only looked at the young man and woman.

The couple kept staring at Gu Xuan, with a look of surprise in their eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

The woman in pink clothes opened her red lips lightly and secretly transmitted the message: "Brother Qi, this person has extraordinary qualifications. Don't neglect him."

The man in white did not respond, and raised his hand to Gu Xuanyi: "We are all descendants of the Ximen family, don't you know your surname?"

Hearing this, Gu Xuan quickly bowed his hands and said respectfully: "My surname is Gu Xuan. I am just a teahouse boy on the official road in Pingshan. I dare not show respect to you."

"Oh~"

The man in white responded lightly, showing a subtle look of contempt. His already condescending attitude immediately seemed arrogant.

The woman in pink clothes has been looking at Gu Xuan, wondering what she is thinking.

The man in white asked calmly: "Brother, it seems that he is working here. I wonder why his clothes are so damaged?"

Reciprocity was reciprocated, but the other party was so aloof that he didn't even bother to tell me his name. At least he was a warrior from the Ximen family.

The woman was smiling and could not tell what she was thinking, but the man's words were full of irony and meant to make fun of her.

Gu Xuan secretly slandered, but said respectfully: "I was weeding here, and just now a wild boar suddenly appeared. After a hard fight, I was lucky enough to lead it into the cliff, and I was able to save my life."

The hard work of climbing the cliff made Gu Xuan's clothes dirty and torn, making him look like a ragged beggar.

The man in white waved his hand, somewhat impatiently: "Have you ever seen an old man in white robe? That man was a monk, and his calf was shot off."

Gu Xuan's heart moved, and he immediately remembered the old man in the cave, which was completely consistent with what the other party said.

When he was about to respond, an old man's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, his tone was cold and full of murderous intent.

"If you dare to reveal my existence, you will be killed immediately!"
