Chapter 20: The Cave

The mountains around Shaohua Valley are steep, reflecting the sky covered with clouds and snow all year round, and it looks like an inverted jade bowl. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIf you are not familiar with the terrain of the valley, it is easy to be confused by the mountains that are almost identical on all sides, and it is difficult to distinguish between the four directions.

Shao Suyi followed Duan Ziyi's trail all the way, and saw that the sunny clear sky was shrouded in clouds again, knowing that there was a blizzard coming, he couldn't help but be even more anxious. Regarding the matter of the forbidden land in the valley, although Liuyin has always been vague, Shao Suyi has been in the valley for more than half a year, and he has heard a terrible roar from the direction of the forbidden land in the middle of the night, coupled with Liuyin's solemn advice, he knows that this forbidden place must not be a pleasant place. He privately inquired with the spirit slaves in the valley, and vaguely guessed that there seemed to be some terrifying monster locked in the forbidden place, although he was curious, but his strength was not enough to provoke the monster for the time being, and then he put this matter behind. If it weren't for Duan Ziyi going to the direction of the forbidden land by mistake today, Shao Suyi would have almost forgotten that there was such a place in the valley.

"Ziyi! It's dangerous over there, come back quickly! ”

As soon as the shouts came out, they were scattered by the wind mixed with snow particles, and there was no trace to be found. A strange howl could be heard in the distance, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the sound of the raging wind or the fierce beasts imprisoned in the forbidden land. Shao Suyi looked around in a hurry, the snow was boundless, where could he still find a trace of Duan Ziyi. Even the slightest traces of movement on the ground will soon be buried by the wind and snow, and when the time comes, if you want to find Duan Ziyi's whereabouts, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky. If Liuyin was in the valley, relying on his spiritual power that could be sensed and controlled everywhere in the valley, he would definitely be able to immediately search for Ziyi's location, but early this morning, Liuyin and Ning Xilou both left the valley and never came back.

Shao Suyi anxiously kicked the snowdrift on the ground, and the flakes of snow blew into his collar with the wind, making him tremble and calm down a lot. After settling down, Shao Suyi looked at the direction in which Duan Ziyi disappeared, sighed long, clasped his palms together, and recited a set of tricks.

After listening to Liuyin's introduction to the function of the soul-binding technique that day, because this evil art was too cruel to Duan Ziyi as a slave, Shao Suyi once swore that he would not use this technique in this life and this life, forcibly controlling Ziyi or forcing him to practice martial arts with him. However, now considering Ziyi's safety, Shao Suyi had to go against his original intention, use the power of soul binding techniques, and rely on the unbreakable bond between the two to reluctantly inquire about Duan Ziyi's location.

The reason why Shao Suyi and Duan Ziyi practiced the Soul Binding Technique separately was because of Ning Xilou's ulterior motives, and Shao Suyi had been kept in the dark, so he was actually not very proficient in the Soul Binding Technique. If it weren't for his two lives as a human being and his firm heart, I am afraid that he would go mad and fall into a place of no return.

When Shao Suyi opened his eyes again, a route appeared in his mind out of thin air, as if he could really communicate with Duan Ziyi's mind, which was very magical. Taking a hard breath, Shao Suyi didn't care about the true qi in his body, and hurriedly ran in the direction where Duan Ziyi was going.

But Duan Ziyi, who was shocked by his cranky thoughts, relied on light skills to speed all the way, until the road ahead was blocked by the high mountains, and then he stopped in a trance. Seeing that the sky suddenly darkened and the wind carried snowflakes down, Duan Ziyi, who came back to his senses, secretly said that it was not good, but he regretted that he was impulsive and walked to such a strange place indiscriminately. He was already unfamiliar with the terrain in Shaohua Valley, and because of the dark clouds, he couldn't distinguish between the southeast and northwest, and now the wind and snow are getting bigger, and he is afraid that he will be completely lost if he rushes back, so it is better to wait for Shao Suyi to find it in the same place. Duan Ziyi had made up his mind, but he didn't think about why he was sure that Shao Suyi would come to him, and saw that there was a cave not far away that could shelter him from the wind and snow, so he cut off the bushes and entered the cave.

Duan Ziyi stood at the entrance of the cave and listened carefully for a long time before he tentatively walked towards the cave. He has received cruel training arranged by Ning Xilou since he was a child, and the slightest carelessness may cost him his life, the most cautious and cautious, and even more scornful of people's hearts, so far the only ones who are willing to treat him with their hearts are the two junior brothers who are also sincere to him - Feng Yinran and Gu Qinghan. Who would have expected that there would be a variable of Shao Suyi, which would cause Duan Ziyi to lose his temper frequently, otherwise he would not have broken into such a remote place.

Shaohua Valley has been snowing all year round, but this cave is very dry and warm, revealing a bit of difference. Duan Ziyi took advantage of the snow light at the entrance of the cave and only took three steps inside, but when he heard a "pop", two dazzling beams of light suddenly shone on, and it was actually the two wind lamps on the mountain wall in the cave that lit up by themselves.

Slightly closed his eyes to adapt to the sudden bright light, Duan Ziyi, who had been vigilant and vigilant, held the blade in his hand, his ears listened more attentively, and after waiting for a while, there was no movement. When he opened his eyes, he saw a gate made of fine iron appear two paces away from him, in the dim yellow light.

The gate looked extremely heavy, with sixty-four brass nails neatly nailed to it, polished to a very sharp point, and exuding a chilly air. On the right side of the gate, there is a stone figurine about three meters high, and the armor on its body is very realistically carved.

Duan Ziyi walked to the door and looked at it, then planned to turn around and go out. He thought it was just an ordinary cave, but unexpectedly, it was not a good choice to hide from the snow and cold. Accustomed to seeing his companions who died in vain due to curiosity in life and death training, Duan Ziyi has never been indifferent to the unknown things that are not necessary to explore. He raised his foot and was just about to turn around, but the true qi in his body suddenly went into chaos, and his body shook in pain, and he almost fell on the door full of copper nails. This kind of unique pain, since Duan Ziyi promised Ning Xilou to practice the Soul Binding Technique, he had been "lucky" to feel it a few times during the demonstration in Ning Xilou, and I am afraid that it is inseparable from Shao Suyi, who is looking for him everywhere. Fortunately, the pain dissipated in an instant, and it also helped Duan Ziyi to open up a subtle block in the meridians, which made Duan Ziyi cry and laugh, and I don't know whether to blame Shao Suyi or thank him.

Duan Ziyi stood firm, and felt a slight tingling in his fingertips, only to find that when he had just stabilized his body with his hand on the door, he accidentally cut his finger by the sharp copper nail on the door, and the blood stained the copper nail, and he disappeared as if he had been sucked in. Seeing such a scene, Duan Ziyi couldn't help but feel an alarm bell in his heart, and before he could take half a step back, the ground suddenly shook, and a sad and angry roar with a bloody aura came from behind the iron gate.
