"Let's go." Shen Shi hurries angrily, "I don't know whether we can escape now. How can we stay here more? Go ahead and see if there is a way out."
Zhong Qingzhu said yes, but his steps were very small. He just looked at the beautiful starlike scenery on the stone wall beside him, as if his mind was intoxicated with it, and he was reluctant to leave.
Shen Shi snorted and repeated his opinion again: "Go, these stones are worthless."
Zhong Qingzhu smiled back at him and said, "But don't you think it's really beautiful here?"
Shen Shi scorned and said, "Can you eat beautiful food?"
Zhong Qingzhu glared at him half angrily and half happily and said, "Can that Lingjing be used as food?"
Shen Shi laughed and said, "Ha, don't tell me, Lingjing can really eat."
Zhong Qingzhu was stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing, shook his head and followed him, smiling: "You can say it."
In their words, the allusion of Lingjing as a food has its origin, which is widely known in the world of cultivation. The reason is that once the spiritual power of Lingjing is absorbed by the monks, they will gradually begin to transform the human flesh. Many changes will be different from the human flesh, and one of the most obvious changes is that after the introduction of spirits into the body, the spiritual power of heaven and earth will be contained, It is enough to support the consumption of human flesh, and no other food is allowed to eat from now on. To put it simply, after the friars began to practice, they did not need to eat any more
After Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu, a group of new disciples, entered the Green Fish Island, Lingxiao Sect still arranged some food for them in the first part of the day, but since they began to practice and entered the stage of introducing spirits into the body, these food has stopped. For those who can already be called friars, in their future lives, as long as there is a Holy Crystal for cultivation, they basically do not need to eat ordinary food. Of course, besides the Holy Crystal, there are many panaceas containing Holy power that are very helpful for cultivation. They will also take them if they have the opportunity, but these rare things will depend on chance in the future.
In the deep cave tunnel, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu continue to walk forward, and Zhong Qingzhu looks back several times. It seems that they still miss the place where the fluorescent stones were gathered just now. However, as they walked, they found that there were some fluorescents on the stone wall of the tunnel in front of them. However, there was no special focus just now. Most of them walked sparsely in the cracks or corners of the stone wall, which seemed to give off a lot of light.
However, this little light can still vaguely illuminate the road in the cave, making it easier for them to walk.
Gradually, the stone wall behind us, which was as bright as stars, had gradually disappeared into the deep and tortuous cave behind us. It seemed that the surrounding area had calmed down again, and the darkness came again, spreading gently from all directions.
By the faint light on the stone wall, Zhong Qingzhu's heart was inexplicably nervous. At the moment, no one seemed to have come to the cave where he was, and everywhere were the original and abrupt rock spines and strange rocks. In the weak light and shadow, they seemed to turn into dark shadows, erratic, and a bit scary, like the ghosts and ghosts of the underworld.
Unconsciously, she unconsciously approached Shen Shi and gently grabbed his sleeve with her uninjured right hand. Unexpectedly, she reached out and grabbed his sleeve. Zhong Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the sleeve here had turned into two long strips of cloth, which were tied to her waist and chest, fixing the injured left arm.
Her face seemed to redden again in the shadow. She took a peek at the boy walking in front of her, and suddenly felt that the darkness around seemed not so terrible.
"Hello, Zhong Qingzhu." Suddenly, Shen Shi in front of him suddenly started to shout, as if to say something, but Zhong Qingzhu suddenly felt that it was not very pleasant, and said:
"Brother Shen, don't call me that. It always sounds like we have a grudge. It's very cold."
"Ah, is it?" Shen Shi didn't have the delicate mind of a little girl like Zhong Qingzhu. He was stunned for a moment and said, "It seems right. What do I call you, Younger Martial Sister Zhong?"
Zhong Qingzhu pursed his mouth a little, his bright eyes twinkled in the dark, and said, "Well, you can call me Younger Martial Sister Zhong when others are around, but you can call me Qingzhu when nobody is around." After a pause, it seemed that what he said was not clear enough, and he quickly explained, "That's how my mother called me. You saved me on the rock step of worshipping immortals on the day of worshipping the sect. Today is more... Well, you are really kind to me anyway, so when no one is around, would you call me Green Bamboo?"
Shen Shi blinks. He always feels that he can't get around it. He Ping Yue is cautious, but he focuses on other things. In the final analysis, he is only a twelve year old boy now. He is still in love, and doesn't mature earlier like a little girl. Now he really can't understand such subtle and ambiguous words. He just thought what Zhong Qingzhu said seemed reasonable, but it seemed that there was something wrong, but he couldn't understand it, so he simply didn't think about it. Anyway, the top priority now is to live first. Where can I care about these useless things, he said quickly: "Well, I'll call you Green Bamboo later, which is convenient."
Zhong Qingzhu smiled, his right hand covered his mouth, looked at Shen Shi and said, "What will I call you later, Brother Shen?"
Shen Shi waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry. Just now, you said that I call you what my mother called you. You should just do the same as my father told me."
When Zhong Qingzhu looked at Shen Shi, he always thought that the boy was a little silly. It was strange. However, he was more and more pleased with his eyes. He suppressed a smile and said, "How does your father call you?"
"Stone, or small stone."
"Hmm... OK," Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, secretly despised the short fat man he had never met, and then said, "I will call you Senior Brother Shen when there are outsiders, and Stone when there is no one."
"Whatever." Shen Shi waved his hand in an unconcerned manner, then frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
Zhong Qingzhu looked at him and said, "What's wrong?"
Shen Shi was silent for a moment, laughed and said, "I just asked you something."
Zhong Qingzhu nodded and said, "What's the matter?"
Shen Shi coughed, turned around and walked forward, saying, "But you suddenly pulled a lot of names and other things. I seem to have forgotten what I wanted to ask..."
Looking at his back, Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and smiled and followed him.
The light in the cave is like a firefly in the dark. Although it is weak, it is so beautiful. It gently floats behind them, as if it is immortal, floating in the dark.
※※※
I don't know when Shen Shi suddenly found that the splashing sound that seemed to haunt his ears had disappeared. He looked down and found that his feet were no longer treading on the puddles, but standing on a dry ground.
The direction of the whole cave, along the way, seems to have a somewhat slow upward climbing trend. Shen Shi was delighted and said to Zhong Qingzhu who was following him, "It seems that there is no water."
Zhong Qingzhu turned his head to look at it and quickly responded. He nodded with some expectation and said, "That is to say, are we going to the ground soon?"
Shen Shi laughed and said: "It's not easy to say, but I hope it's great. Are you tired? If you are tired, take a rest. If not, let's continue walking."
Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and said, "I'm not tired. Let's go."
"Hmm." Shen Shi nodded and agreed, then turned to move on. In this mysterious and deep cave, it seems that there is a stone vein of fluorescein that has been continuing on the cave wall, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, but it finally gives them some hope in the dark.
As the water recedes, the terrain of the cave gradually rises, and Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu gradually feel that the hope of getting out of difficulty is growing. In this case, even the original fatigue is temporarily forgotten by them, even though they have been trudging in the dark cave for a long time since they were swept into the ground by the torrent at the beginning.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the cave, and there was still silence around. The gasp grew louder and the sweat began to flow down from the face. But the terrain at the foot is getting higher and higher, which seems to indicate that the exit is in front. No matter who they are, even Zhong Qingzhu, whose left hand was seriously injured and broke, they all bite their teeth and stick to it without stopping.
Walking through the darkness step by step, walking through this deep and quiet cave, it feels like stepping over thousands of mountains and rivers, chasing the last bit of hope.
Suddenly, a bright ray of light in front suddenly shines in.
Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu saw it at the same time and stopped to look ahead.
There is a beam of light.
Familiar, warm light.
Shen Shi breathes a long sigh of relief. When he looks at Zhong Qingzhu again, he finds that she is also very excited, and her lips tremble slightly, just looking at him.
Shen Shi nodded, smiled and said, "I'm saved."
Zhong Qingzhu seemed to have tears in his eyes and could not say anything, but nodded heavily.
Shen Shi waved his hand and laughed: "Let's go out."
After that, we should go ahead and take Zhong Qingzhu to stride across the rugged ground on the ground. We walked towards the light and soon saw a hole in front of us. It was about one person tall and full of moss. The light came from outside the hole. Although it was not very bright, it must be above the ground.
Shen Shi is full of joy. He and Zhong Qingzhu look at each other and smile, both with the joy of the rest of life, and then walk out side by side.
But at the moment when they could hardly step out of the cave, they saw the scene outside the cave. Suddenly, both of them were stiff. In front of them, it was not the cave they had fled into to avoid the huge waves, nor the beach where Zhong Qingzhu picked up shells. What was carved in front of them was a very deep and narrow sinkhole. The bottom of the sinkhole was only about ten cubits wide, and half of it was a pool, surrounded by cliffs, It is as abrupt as a peak, reaching more than a hundred zhang. But they are at the bottom of this desperate Jedi Heavenly Pit, just like two tiny ants.
