Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times
Chapter 1652 - 1278: Valley of Forgetfulness—Someone Got Ahead of Us!
Gu Changsheng almost turned back the moment he heard Little Monk Bu Jie calling out to him!
In this world, there’s no one else who calls him Benefactor Changsheng; there’s only this one little monk!
And coincidentally, though Little Monk Bu Jie is quite small, he is the person Gu Changsheng finds the most unpredictable, bar none!
"Little Monk Bu Jie, do you have something to say to me?" Looking at Little Monk Bu Jie, Gu Changsheng didn’t wait for him to speak, and asked first.
For a long time, he dared not face Little Monk Bu Jie directly. Probably since his old father passed away, Gu Changsheng has been trying hard to control himself, not to talk to Little Monk Bu Jie, not to ask if what he said while she was sleeping was true...
As a result, Gu Changsheng almost forgot that Little Monk Bu Jie was actually very good at foretelling!
"Benefactor Changsheng, when you return from this trip, please come here quickly to take me back..." Little Monk Bu Jie looked at Gu Changsheng, thought for a moment, and his little face full of benevolence and seriousness opened his mouth.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately frowned and couldn’t help but ask, "Why?"
"Because this place is a Brothel, it’s not suitable for a monk to stay, and your Young Master, Benefactor Changsheng, if you don’t come to fetch him, he will definitely not go back on his own!" Little Monk Bu Jie spoke directly without beating around the bush.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng felt a bit embarrassed!
One must say, Little Monk Bu Jie being forced into this by his son isn’t a one-time thing, and to a certain extent, Little Monk Bu Jie’s understanding of his son has reached a considerable height.
As of now, the little rascal of his own family is clearly thriving in this little servant house, quite content and not wanting to return!
Making him go back spontaneously seems unlikely!
However, since Little Monk Bu Jie, the victim, had spoken, Gu Changsheng couldn’t just not respond, right?
Thus, although feeling a bit awkward, Gu Changsheng still nodded and said, "Alright!"
Then he turned around, took his own evildoer, and exited the room!
Leaving the little servant house and walking on the deserted Yanmen Pass street in the early morning, Gu Changsheng felt in good spirits. After checking the things that his evildoer had prepared, Gu Changsheng shook his head, turned around, walked into a pharmacy that had just opened, and bought many herbs, adding a large bundle to his own belongings, and only then walked toward Yanmen Pass’s outskirts satisfied...
Yanmen Pass is a city not too big or small, with a circumference of no more than twenty miles, and outside Linyuan City is the vast grassland. However, on this grassland, there is a place that stands out, where tall trees reach into the sky, strikingly eye-catching, and the terrain is quite treacherous. Yes, this place is the Valley of Forgetfulness!
Outside Yanmen Pass is the Valley of Forgetfulness, in the Valley of Forgetfulness is Intestine-Breaking Cliff, which is the natural barrier of Yanmen Pass!
The valley is full of miasma, and the Bottom of the Cliff has many poisonous insects. This is the result of Gu Changsheng’s survival training in the wild in her previous life. In fact, Gu Changsheng is someone who can survive and walk out of such treacherous places like the tropical rainforest, so she isn’t very afraid of the Valley of Forgetfulness. Moreover, she and her evildoer have already made complete preparations; what worries her is that this world is always filled with phenomena difficult to explain scientifically. The unknown is what Gu Changsheng fears the most!
When Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu arrived at the Valley of Forgetfulness, it was already nearing noon. It’s not that their pace was slow, but before entering the Valley of Forgetfulness, Gu Changsheng had already dragged her own evildoer for a lap around the outskirts of the Valley of Forgetfulness!
In this aspect, it’s undeniable that Gu Changsheng is adept at survival in desperate situations, absolutely doesn’t fight any uncertain battles, and wouldn’t engage in things rushed to achieve!
The Valley of Forgetfulness is vast, with a circumference of no less than several hundred miles, like a naturally formed giant pit suddenly appearing on the grassland outside Yanmen Pass. From a distance, one can clearly see the towering treetops within the Valley, and the destination of Gu Changsheng’s trip is precisely a cliff in the center of the Valley!
After circling the Valley of Forgetfulness from the outside, Gu Changsheng was in no hurry to go in; Zhou Mu, with a slight frown, saw the smile hanging from his little woman’s eyes and brows and couldn’t help but ask, "Why is your mood so good?"
Zhou Mu certainly wouldn’t think that his little woman was filled with adventurous spirit. In fact, his little woman was someone who liked comfort very much; unless necessary, she would stay in bed, too lazy even to leave the room, let alone come to such dangerous places!
Then her good mood was a bit strange!
Hearing her own evildoer’s question, the smile on Gu Changsheng’s face became even more radiant. She raised a finger, arched an eyebrow, and said, "First, the Little Monk Bu Jie said that when we return from this journey, we should take him away from the sea of suffering. This proves that on this journey, we should be safe and fulfill our wishes!"
When Zhou Mu heard this, the end of his handsome eyebrows couldn’t help but twitch slightly, "Shang Xie, is this what you mean?"
Gu Changsheng nodded with great determination, "Naturally, Little Monk Bu Jie never speaks nonsense, and his abilities are not unknown to you. If he didn’t foresee that our journey would be safe and sound, do you think he would say such a thing?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu furrowed his brows slightly, pensively considering for a moment, unable to help but admire his little woman’s talent for far-fetched interpretations. Shaking his head helplessly, he continued to ask lovingly, "If there’s a first, there must be a second. What is this second?"
"As for the second..." Gu Changsheng said, with a trace of faint mockery at the corner of her mouth, raised a hand to point forward, and said in a deep voice, "The second is that someone has already entered the Valley of Forgetfulness ahead of us and is scouting the way for us!" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Saying this, Gu Changsheng took a few steps forward, picked up two fallen leaves from the ground, and compared the broken part of the leaves in front of Zhou Mu, raising an eyebrow and said, "This leaf is still oozing sap from the break, which means the person who broke it passed by not long ago. The other leaf’s break has already withered a bit, indicating that the person passed by here at least half a day ago. Therefore, a group entered the Valley of Forgetfulness at dawn, and another group entered ahead of us not long ago!"
Hearing this, Zhou Mu didn’t even look at the leaves in the little woman’s hand, raised his hand to rub her little head, and said with a smile, "I have also noticed, but since someone has the same goal as ours, you ought to be worried!"
"Worried? What a joke?" Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately waved her hand, looked at the misty Secluded Valley before her, narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Evildoer, you know that in this world, humans are not the most terrifying; nature is the most terrifying! There are always some dangerous things in such natural dead ends, which are the most lethal! Since someone is willing to blaze a trail for us, I’m more than happy and have no worries at all!"
"Moreover, they may not even share the same goal as us! They may not even know that there is something we want at the bottom of Intestine-Breaking Cliff! But even if they don’t know, I’ll find ways to make them know!" Saying this, Gu Changsheng took the lead, striding forward along the traces of those who came before them, "Let’s go, catch up and let me see who is so lucky to become our Thunder People!"
Hearing this, Zhou Mu shook his head fondly and followed suit!
Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu moved quickly, swiftly tracing the paths of those who had gone before them, weaving through towering trees. The surroundings were filled with vines and branches, as well as the rotten smell of fallen leaves...
As the two went deeper, the terrain became lower, and under the shadows of the towering trees, the light grew dimmer and dimmer. However, this didn’t hinder Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu at all. With their level of cultivation, being able to see things at night wasn’t an issue, not to mention that this wasn’t complete darkness.
"We’ve already entered the miasma zone here, their pace has slowed, but they haven’t stopped. This shows they were prepared beforehand!" As they walked forward, observing the traces left on the dead leaves, Zhou Mu spoke in a deep voice.
As the Undefeated War God, Zhou Mu’s tracking skills were more meticulous than Gu Changsheng’s.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng nodded immediately, pulled out a small porcelain vial from her sleeve, poured out a medicinal pill, and stuffed it in her own evildoer’s mouth, "Eat it! The miasma will only get thicker!"
Zhou Mu didn’t refuse, nodded and swallowed it. The two of them continued their fast pace forward together.
Being someone who deals with medicine all day, Gu Changsheng had long cultivated the ability to be immune to all poisons; this miasma was nothing to her!
The vines and branches couldn’t stop Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu’s progress at all. The two of them, like a streak of light, dashed through the Valley of Forgetfulness, moving at an astonishing speed!
However, almost at the same time, their rapid advance came to a sudden halt!
"Bloodstain!" Zhou Mu bent down, touched a bit of the bloodstain on the ground, rubbed it between his fingers, and looked at Gu Changsheng beside him, speaking in a deep voice, "Someone was injured here about a moment ago! Changsheng, take out the Geomancy Map and see where we are now!"
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng nodded, took out the Geomancy Map from her bosom, opened it, glanced around, and spoke with a slight furrow in her brow, "This Valley of Forgetfulness doesn’t have any obvious landmarks. However, judging by our speed, we should be here by now..."
Saying this, Gu Changsheng pointed at the Geomancy Map and said in a deep voice, "We’ve already entered the heart of the Valley of Forgetfulness. Thirty miles deeper is the Intestine-Breaking Cliff! Evildoer, they have already entered the heart of the valley ahead of us!"
"Chase!" Almost as soon as Gu Changsheng’s words fell, Zhou Mu wrapped his arm around Gu Changsheng, and the two quickly pursued forward!
Entering the heart of the Valley of Forgetfulness is undoubtedly the most dangerous place within the valley, and in this world, they closely followed those who were blazing the trail...
