Chapter 1766 There is a problem with fate

The secret place has no normal exit, and only when heaven and earth meet can one return to reality.

Zhang Xuezhou had been in and out of the secret place many times, and Li Shaojun also had relevant experience, but neither of them had ever encountered a secret place that they could enter but not exit.

On the sixth day after entering the secret place, Gongsun Hong was chewing some relatively fresh leaves, while Li Shaojun was chewing some tender grass roots.

There is no spiritual jade, no spiritual spring, and no food.

Zhang Xuezhou was still able to hold his temper and sacrifice the spiritual objects he had obtained, but Li Shaojun and the others were completely starving and unable to extricate themselves.

“I really miss eating raw fish!”

After chewing the tender grass roots, Li Shaojun couldn't help but recall the time when he ate fish more than ten days ago.

At that time, Li Shaojun felt that life was not a human one. He never imagined that the days to come would be even more difficult.

The grass roots have a bitter taste in the mouth and are difficult to swallow.

What's more troublesome is that as Zhang Xuezhou was about to fall asleep, he seemed to intentionally control the amount of food everyone ate.

Li Shaojun felt that the number of tender grass roots he obtained was less than the day before.

If you can't even eat grass roots to fill your stomach, your life will undoubtedly be miserable.

Of course, if they cannot leave the secret realm in the next few days, there will be no one to pick young leaves and dig grass roots.

"When will this secret place be revealed to the world?" Gongsun Hong asked in a low voice.

"How would I know when we can show up in the human world? We will be dead in ten days or half a month." Li Shaojun glanced at Zhang Xuezhou and said unhappily, "No matter what we get, it's useless!"

"Dongfang Shuo, aren't you hungry?"

After asking Li Shaojun, Gongsun Hong looked at Zhang Xuezhou who was not far away.

From the time Zhang Xuezhou woke up until now, Gongsun Hong saw Zhang Xuezhou eat a few bites of fish and drink a few sips of spiritual spring water.

If Gongsun Hong's calculations were correct, Zhang Xuezhou had only eaten this much in the past twenty days.

He knew that Zhang Xuezhou practiced the Bigu fasting technique to save his life, but Gongsun Hong did not expect that Zhang Xuezhou's Bigu fasting technique was so outrageous.

The art of fasting has never been the focus of spiritual practice. After all, even if a cultivator does not want to become rich, having enough food to eat is not a problem.

But at this time, Gongsun Hong only hated that his Bigu Jue level was too low.

This is even a fatal technique.

Even after decades of hardship, Gongsun Hong had never ended up in such a desperate situation where there was not even any prey or beasts.

"I'm a little hungry, and my body is starting to feel weak!"

Zhang Xuezhou replied casually and continued to practice the ritual diligently.

Refining treasures is by no means rare, and even if Li Shaojun doesn't tell me, I can find the relevant information.

But what is really rare is the spiritual object in Zhang Xuezhou's hand.

The more he used the treasure refining technique to refine the spirit object, the more Zhang Xuezhou felt that the spirit object had a spiritual connection with him, and it was even like his own limbs.

Moreover, this kind of spiritual creature seems to have the ability of psychic communication. If it is attacked maliciously, the spiritual creature is likely to react faster than Zhang Xuezhou, and may even take the initiative to attack.

However, Zhang Xuezhou didn’t know whether this magical object would still be useful after he lost consciousness.

He was constantly practicing at this time to give himself a guarantee for the next twelve days.

If they couldn't find food, Zhang Xuezhou did not rule out the possibility that Li Shaojun and Gongsun Hong would kill each other and eventually become cannibals like Ao Sheng.

After regaining physical strength, it is likely that the opponent will seek out Zhang Xuezhou, who is unable to move, and attack him.

Zhang Xuezhou never made malicious speculations, but he felt that he had to be prepared for such a thing to happen.

He had even begun to control the amount of food they ate when they were hungry and weak.

"No wonder you picked fewer tender leaves for me today," said Gongsun Hong.

"Dongfang Shuo, can you pick out some leaves and roots for us?" Li Shaojun's face turned yellow and he said directly, "We definitely won't attack you."

"I suggest you improve your fasting skills and try to hold on for a little longer. The secret place may be opened in the next moment," Zhang Xuezhou said without even looking up. "It's impossible to improve the fasting skills in a short time," Li Shaojun said sickly, "I want to eat grass roots. I want to eat so much grass roots that I can't finish them in my lifetime."

"Be a cow in your next life!"

Zhang Xuezhou rejected this unreasonable request without hesitation.

From joy to treasure hunting, to the joy of spiritual springs, to the fight with spiritual creatures, to the despair of lack of food, the days for everyone have been full of ups and downs.

The search for the exit of the secret realm, which had the least sense of existence, also brought unbearable despair to everyone.

Zhang Xuezhou relied on his half-step immortal fasting technique to be able to starve for more than half a year. He was still calm at this time, but Gongsun Hong and Li Shaojun were not calm.

Even Li Shaojun, who could die over and over again, couldn't bear it.

"You know I can survive. As long as I can survive until a few days ago, my physical strength can still hold on," said Li Shaojun.

"You mean you need me to take you to the bottom of the water and tie you to a tree, and then eliminate the risk you bring?" Zhang Xuezhou asked with pursed lips.

"Don't argue, I feel like I'm the one in danger. Are you guys discussing using human flesh as food?"

The questioning between Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun was like a game of charades. When Gongsun Hong understood, his face suddenly turned pale.

"We have escaped all kinds of dangers and entered the realm of egocentrism. If the cause of our death is hunger, I would not be willing to turn into a ghost." Gongsun Hong murmured, "We must have offended Tai Sui, otherwise we would not be so unlucky!"

"There are so many people starving to death in this world. Does that mean everyone has offended Tai Sui?"

Li Shaojun looked at Zhang Xuezhou with some fear. Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou did not take any action, he hummed and replied to Gongsun Hong.

Li Shaojun could already imagine that the days ahead would not be easy.

Not only will Zhang Xuezhou control his food intake, but he will also tie him up before falling asleep, making it difficult for him to have any bad thoughts.

Li Shaojun is indeed at his wit's end.

He was proficient in many Taoist skills, but none of them was of a high level.

This made Li Shaojun feel that he was doomed.

When Gongsun Hong mentioned something against his will, he became even more angry.

"Many people starved to death, but few great practitioners died of starvation. One of us must have offended Tai Sui, causing an impact on others," Gongsun Hong stressed, "Our experience along the way has made me question life."

"Do you mean we have to separate?" Li Shaojun asked, "You can still eat a few leaves now, and I can still chew a few grass roots. If we separate, we will have nothing to eat and will die faster!"

"It's not a separation." Gongsun Hong shook his head and said, "If we offend Tai Sui, we have to wash away the bad luck. Only in this way can we stay safe!"

"How to wash?" Li Shaojun asked.

"I heard that Taoists have a copy of the Yellow Emperor's Yin Fu Jing, which is very useful," said Gongsun Hong.

"The Taoism you are talking about is Huang-Lao Taoism, not Taoism." Li Shaojun frowned and said, "That is a classic that only the royal family who controls Huang-Lao Taoism can own!"

"Huang Lao Dao..."

Gongsun Hong fell into deep thought.

He looked at Zhang Xuezhou, then at Li Shaojun, and then at himself.

Gongsun Hong believed that one of the three must have had a problem with his fate, which caused him bad luck or affected others.

In some fortune-telling techniques, some people call this kind of fate the star of misfortune, some think it is a broom star, and some think it is a disaster star.

These people themselves are still okay, but it is very difficult for those who are not strong enough to be around such people.

Gongsun Hong was more suspicious of his fate. After all, his experiences in life were very bad, and few of the people who followed him had a good ending.

As for Zhang Xuezhou, he is young and promising, and Li Shaojun is a Taoist descendant, and both of them seem to be fine.

All in all, Gongsun Hong thought that he had offended Tai Sui, which caused him to be unlucky for his teammates, and he needed to get rid of the bad luck in his fate.

He kept muttering about something related, which made Zhang Xuezhou frown slightly, and Li Shaojun also frowned.

Gongsun Hong put the blame on himself, and Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but think of himself. As for Li Shaojun, it was no different. He had been like a disaster star for so many years, and his friends around him would not last long.

For a moment, all three of them thought that there was something wrong with their fate.
