I am at the highest level, living a life of eating and waiting to die in the fairy world of supernat

……

This year, Gu Xiaoxiao stayed at home for seven more days, but in the end she still didn't wait for Gu Jiu to come back.

Before leaving, Gu Jiu said that if nothing happened, he would definitely come back. Now it seems that he has a lot to do.

There are really a lot of things about Gu Jiu, but the types of things are a little different in Gu Xiaoxiao's imagination.

She imagined that Gu Jiu was busy with the romance with his aunt and senior sister, and had long forgotten that there was a home and a her here.

Gu Jiu didn't know that his decision saved Su Ying but changed Gu Xiaoxiao's fate.

Gu Xiaoxiao left the Gu family calmly and returned to the Yunshan Sword Sect.

That year, the snow on the Guren Peak of Yunshan Sword Sect was very cold, but Gu Xiaoxiao could not feel it.

She was not heartbroken or sad, she just felt a little discouraged.

(PS: I'm stuck today, sorry everyone, it's late, and this is the only chapter. I need to sort out the rest of the story, and I'll make up for it tomorrow with three chapters.)

Chapter 18 Underground Academy

It was a cloudy day with a cold wind. Gu Jiu stood in front of the two dead crooked trees, lost in thought.

During this period, he did a lot of things. First, he redesigned a more ferocious formation to protect the courtyard. Second, he heard a lot of details about those days from Su Ying.

Because of his return, Qingliu Academy gradually regained its vitality.

The shadow of the horror blockbuster during the New Year gradually faded in Su Ying and Xiao Qi's hearts because of the appearance of Gu Jiu, the "stabilizing force".

Su Ying has completely let go of her obsession and is no longer obsessed with her teachers and fellow students in the previous academy.

Just like Gu Jiu said, from now on, there will only be this Qingliu Academy, the one where the three of them are.

As for the Qingliu Academy underground, Gu Jiu finally had time to go and take a look.

Gu Jiu thought about how to get in. After all, Xie Xue said that there was one Qingliu Academy above and one below.

He thought that if he dug through the ground, he would be able to see the academy underground.

But Gu Jiu was lazy. This approach was too stupid and might be in vain, so he decided to choose an easier one.

When Su Ying mentioned these two crooked trees for the first time, he wanted to come and see them and reminisce about the dead "big butt".

At this time, the two trees had no leaves, and the branches were slightly curled up, as if they had been burned by fire, but there was no trace of fire.

Gu Jiu’s first feeling at first sight was “thirst”. The two trees died of thirst, like two corpses that had been completely sucked dry.

Gu Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his sharp sword eyes swept across the slope, then stopped in front of a bush.

This patch of grass looked like any other, except for a hole hidden behind it.

In this cave, there was once a pair of vicious eyes staring at Su Ying secretly, but Su Ying did not notice it at that time.

Gu Jiu discovered the hole and also found a pair of eyes.

The pair of eyes were fixed on the mud at the entrance of the cave, and they looked as if they were installed there. They stared at Gu Jiu who came here, looking a little weird and scary.

Gu Jiu was raised in fear, so he simply kicked some dirt and buried the eyes.

Then Gu Jiu half of his body stuck out of the bushes, tried to look inside, and found that the entrance was very narrow.

If Xie Xue came out from here, Gu Jiu guessed that the other party should use the method of wriggling like a worm, or the method of a snake.

Thinking of the twisted centipede-like thing he saw in Xie Xue's body that day, Gu Jiu was sure that this was the entrance.

Then he lay down in it.

Xie Xue should have crawled out like a worm. Does he also want to get in this way?

of course not!

Gu Jiu lay down in the cave, looking like he was lying on a bed, and then the next moment, the vital energy of heaven and earth flowed through his body, carrying him down.

This feeling was like surfing on the sea, very comfortable.

Although the entrance to the cave is very narrow for an adult, it is just right for this posture. However, the walls of the cave are covered with wet soil on all sides, which makes it seem very depressing.

It is easy to lose the concept of time when walking in such a cave.

Gu Jiu didn’t know how long he had been sliding or how far he had slid, he just felt that he was probably a long distance from the ground.

He couldn't help but sigh that it was a good thing he didn't choose to directly break through the ground. That would have been much more difficult and unskillful.

Just like in those tomb-raiding novels, the ones who rely on technical skills are usually the protagonists, while those who use brute force are usually...haha.

Since he was going to visit the elder who was the former dean of the above-ground academy and now the dean of the underground academy, Gu Jiu felt that he should be more civilized.

We are all educated people, why are you talking about violent demolition?

With a loud crash, when Gu Jiuru slid to the ground like a mudslide and found that the space above his head became wider, he knew that this twisted passage had finally come to an end.

This is a rather spacious underground space, estimated to be about thirty feet in length, and it doesn't look depressing at all.

The entire underground space was not as dark as imagined, but was filled with light.

Green light.

It's so green that it's scary.

I saw a layer of light green "stone" on the top, emitting fluorescent light.

At first glance, these things looked like a whole piece of rock layer emitting a faint glow, but Gu Jiu soon discovered something unusual.

This is because the "rock layer" showed slight movement at this time.

Gu Jiu squinted his eyes and looked carefully, only to find that what was above his head was not stone, but fireflies.

Fireflies are usually dotted, but there are so many of them above our heads and they are so dense that they overlap and cluster together without any gaps, so at first glance they look like a whole.

There are never any fireflies in Qingliu Academy in the summer. Gu Jiu once thought that the environment was not suitable for fireflies to survive. Now it seems that there may be other reasons.

The lifespan of fireflies is not long, especially after the adults start to glow, which usually only lasts ten days.

And how long do these fireflies that are always glowing above our heads live?

Just from the fact that they emit fluorescent light evenly from head to tail, it can be seen that there should be very few dead companions among them.

Or, are there so many fireflies that when one layer dies, the layer inside will continue to glow, so that the entire ceiling of the cave appears to have never lacked fluorescence?

I have to admit that no matter what it is, it is a bit unbearable when there is too much of it.

Thinking that the top of his head was filled with densely packed fireflies, layer upon layer, so crowded that no gaps could be seen, and some of the insects' bodies were even twisted and deformed, Gu Jiu's scalp felt numb.

Trypophobia is very uncomfortable, okay?

With the help of the light from above, Gu Jiu walked inside casually and soon found a bamboo forest.

It is already strange to see bamboo plants appearing underground, but what is even stranger is that this bamboo forest looks dark red and some of it is very old.

It feels like these bamboos grew by drinking blood, and it was stale blood at that.

Gu Jiu even had an illusion that if he lightly scratched the bamboos, rotten old blood would really flow out.

After walking for a distance in this dark red bamboo forest, Gu Jiu suddenly found that these roads looked familiar.

Yes, the bamboo forest outside Qingliu Academy on the ground seems to be this road?

Although Gu Jiu was not good at finding his way, he had walked this road many times on Xiao Hui's back, so it was naturally familiar to him.

He walked towards the academy according to his memory and soon found a stone wall.

The stone wall connected to the roof isolates the entire space, making it look like there is no road.

But Gu Jiu soon discovered that there was a blurry stone door on the stone wall, with four words vaguely engraved above the stone door.

These four words look very distorted, as if four people had their bones broken or pulled out, and the pain became this shape, which is very uncomfortable to look at.

But Gu Jiu still recognized these four words - "Qingliu Academy".

"It turns out there really is a academy underground." Gu Jiu murmured, then slowly pushed open the stone door.

There was no sound when the stone door turned, and it was lighter than expected. Gu Jiu felt like he was pushing open an ancient tomb.

What are the students living in this academy like?

(PS: There are still two chapters to be written today. It will probably be around 12 o'clock. It's a bit late. Everyone should go to bed early. You can read it tomorrow morning.)

Chapter 19 The Source of Ancient Sounds

Behind the stone gate is a river.

The course of this river is basically the same as that of the Qingliu Academy on the ground, except that there is no water in the river on the ground, but there is water here.

The water was dark yellow and looked like thick mud, but it was constantly flowing.

There are willow trees on the river bank. Unlike the ones on the ground, which look listless, the willow trees are growing very well, and even seem to be over-nourished.

When Gu Jiu took a closer look, he felt even more disgusted.

The bark of these willow trees is full of wrinkles, looking like the loose skin of an elderly person, and the veins on the trees are like blood vessels hidden under the skin...

These trees give people a greasy and fleshy feeling, just like old people who are already very old but are overnourished and very fat.

There is still some grass by the river. It is not as tall as the weeds on the ground in Qingliu Academy, but it looks more like ghost claws.

The entire underground academy is indescribably weird, making people feel depressed and dull.

Gu Jiu felt that if he stayed in this place for two days, he would probably go crazy, and what about those people who disappeared?

Are they still here, have they become fertilizer for these oily trees, or what?

After seeing this greasy version of the academy scenery underground, Gu Jiu no longer wanted to despise the dilapidated academy on the ground. Instead, he felt that it was a real fresh and clean style.

Across the river are rows of houses. Unlike the academy on the ground, the houses there are leaning and dilapidated, while the houses here are relatively intact.

But in such an environment, these houses look like large coffins, with no one knowing what is hidden inside.

Gu Jiu was walking alone on the desolate road. The fireflies on the stone wall above his head were much sparser here. They were scattered in clusters, emitting faint light, looking like ringworm on the face of a skin patient.

The direction Gu Jiu was walking was exactly the direction of the courtyard.

He found that the structure of the entire underground academy was very similar to that on the ground, and he really wanted to know what the courtyard below looked like.

But on the way to the courtyard, Gu Jiu stopped.

It was because he heard a sound, and he heard almost the same strange sound by the river that night.

The voice had no ups and downs, as if every word was squeezed out by looking back, and it sounded very dull.

This time, Gu Jiu immediately discovered that the sound came from a room next door.

He immediately slowed down his pace and slowly approached the house.

The window paper of the house was covered with dust and had turned from white to gray, but it was not rotten.

The voice continued to come out from inside without any change in tone. Gu Jiu couldn't even understand what it was saying.

Are all the languages ​​taught in the underground Qingliu Academy foreign?

Gu Jiu did not rush out and yell "Put your hands up!" After all, he was a scholar and had to be polite, and doing so would easily alert the enemy.

So he rubbed his chin with his hand, and imitated the scenes in ancient costume TV dramas, poked a hole in the window paper, then stuck his butt out, ready to take a look at the scene inside.

The moment he looked inside, Gu Jiu froze in an instant.

He saw an eye, and that eye was also looking at him, just a few inches away.

It turned out that there was a table behind the window, and on the table was an eye.

The eye lay alone on the dusty table, yet it was spotless.

A single eye would definitely not be able to survive, but this eye was different. Gu Jiu felt that it was alive.

This eye is not a separate eyeball, but has eyelids and long eyelashes.

It can be seen that this eye belongs to a woman, and it is quite beautiful.

A beautiful woman should have good facial features, but having only one eye is a bit scary.

Gu Jiu was shocked by this, but also a little embarrassed.

He was caught red-handed while peeping. What should he do? Say hello?

Gu Jiu pushed open the door and entered the room in an instant.
