Zhou Xiusheng climbed up for a stick of incense, felt that his head had hit something, touched it with his hand, but it was a hard rock, he thought it was not good, took out the flint and steel to take a look, and found that he had climbed to the top of this hole. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He took out his dagger and dug into the rock above his head a few times, but found that he couldn't dig at all, so he didn't give up, and lit up the remaining half of the oil paper to take a closer look at the top. I accidentally found something hanging down in the middle of the cave roof, grabbed it and looked at it, and found that it was a pendant.

The hemp rope of the pendant is not known to be made of what material, it does not know how long it has been hanging in this humid environment, but there is no sign of corrosion, the pendant head is a black stone, pitch black, shining in the firelight, very smooth to the touch, like a flawless work of art, but at this time Zhou Xiusheng was not in the mood to study any artwork, casually hung it around his neck, to see the rock at the top.

The rock is obviously a whole piece, it is extremely hard to the touch, Zhou Xiusheng took the handle of the dagger and knocked it a few times in different positions of the stone, and the sound of "poof" came, it was solid, and it seemed that it was impossible to go up.

Zhou Xiusheng wondered in his heart, the bottom of this rock is so flat, how did the pendant just now hang on it? It's a pity that I was too quick to catch it just now and didn't see it clearly.

The oiled paper is not resistant to burning, it has burned to the end, Zhou Xiusheng held back the burning of his fingers, and looked around again, at this time the fire was extinguished, and the surroundings became pitch black again.

It seems that if you want to escape from here, you still have to walk by water, and Zhou Xiusheng went down and returned. This cylindrical hole was sealed up and down, presumably there was not much air, and he regretted that he had just burned the oiled paper and used a lot of air. At this time, it was dark and silent, it seemed like a good place to bury bones, Zhou Xiusheng was still young, of course he didn't want to die, he thought that he had to do something now.

His biggest problem now is that he has lost his sense of orientation and does not know the north, south, east, and west. You can only use stupid methods, one direction to try.

Zhou Xiusheng took out a dagger and engraved a mark in a certain direction of the stone wall, then took out a rope from his backpack, tied one end to his waist, and tied the other end to the dagger, and inserted the dagger into the stone wall hard, so that even if he lost his bearing underwater, he could finally pull the rope back.

After everything was ready, Zhou Xiusheng swam hard in the direction of the engraved mark, and after swimming for a while, he felt the change in the current, and the more he swam, the faster the current became. And he is swimming against the current at the moment, thinking that this direction should be upstream, that is, the direction in which he comes down.

Zhou Xiusheng swam until he was exhausted, grabbed the rope and returned to the hole, rested for a while, and then went into the water to swim in the opposite direction engraved with the mark, thinking that this direction must be the downstream direction of the water flow, who knows that the more he swims, the more wrong it feels, swimming towards this side is also swimming against the current, it seems that this direction is also the upstream direction.

After returning to the cave, Zhou Xiusheng also touched the mark carefully, thinking that he couldn't have made a mistake in the direction! But after repeated reconfirmation, he felt like he couldn't be mistaken.

The third time, Zhou Xiusheng changed direction again and tried to swim forward, but the result was exactly the same as the previous two times, both against the current. He tried to swim out in different directions many times, but it seemed that the water in each direction was concentrated here. This situation conflicted with his cognition, he remembered that there was only one dark river here, how could it feel like there were many dark rivers converging here, and all the water flowed here.

After many efforts, the stone wall in the cave has been carved with marks, Zhou Xiusheng thought to himself, what a hell, the dark river water flows here, but the water level in the cave does not rise, so where does all this water go? He decided to go down and see if there was anything else going on at the bottom of the river. Swimming seven or eight meters down the river, the river was so deep that it took him seven or eight meters to reach the riverbed, and the bottom of the river was full of basin-sized stones, but there was nothing else special.

After Zhou Xiusheng returned to the cave, he was desperate, the strange place here couldn't go up and down, and it was all countercurrent, and the more he went out, the more rapid the water flowed, and he couldn't swim out at all.

According to the size of this hole, he can only breathe the air here for a day at most, and then he will slowly lose consciousness due to lack of oxygen, and then fall into the darkness and drown, and then his body will be decomposed by the microorganisms in the water in the next half a month, leaving only a skeleton, silent in this dark darkness, and will not be noticed. Zhou Xiusheng had already anticipated his final end.

"I don't know if Lu Lanzhi escaped?" Zhou Xiusheng, who was waiting for the cat to die in the cave, suddenly had such a thought in his mind, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking that he didn't know if this sacrifice was worth it or not. The wrinkled faces of the old parents appeared in front of him, and after a while, the appearance of Mo Jie, Zhang Shaofan, Zheng Kang and Li Yi flashed, as well as the full breasts of the school's female teacher.

In a daze, Zhou Xiusheng felt a strange feeling in the right side of his head, as if something was concentrated somewhere, and his mind became extremely calm and clear. He recalled the teachings of the teacher of the Awakening School, that part is the location of the Teng Snake Mansion of the human body, according to the teacher's description, people will only gather essence under the guidance of essence seeds, which is a sign of awakening.

Zhou Xiusheng felt a little inexplicable, and the teaching said that if a person does not have the insertion of essence seeds and guides the eight mansions in the body, it is impossible to awaken. So what is the situation of yourself now, awakening on your own?

Then he felt that the Heavenly Protrusion position on his chest also began to gather essence, which was the Teng Snake Mansion, followed by the Taiyin Mansion, the Liuhe Mansion, the White Tiger Mansion, the Xuanwu Mansion, the Nine Heavens Mansion and the Nine Earth Mansion, respectively, and began to gather the essence qi. Soon Zhou Xiusheng was hungry and growled, he knew that this was because of awakening, the essence mainly came from the subtlety of the water valley in the body, and the subtlety of the water valley was absorbed from the food, so he generally had to eat a lot after awakening.

Zhou Xiusheng touched the backpack on his back with his backhand, and the dry food had been soaked in water for too long and it had melted. He didn't touch the dry food but touched the thin plants, it was the moon mushroom he picked before, he couldn't care about it so much now, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth, the moon mushroom tasted bitter, but it was not difficult to chew and swallow. After eating a few handfuls of moon mushrooms, I felt that my body was much fuller.

According to the curriculum of the Federal Awakening School, the students are divided into three stages, the first stage is the foundation building period, the second stage is the awakening period, and the third stage is the ability period. The foundation building period is mainly to exercise students' physical fitness and develop the brain domain to prepare for awakening. The awakening period is guided by the essence seeds, and the essence is gathered in the eight provinces in the body, which is also a long-term process, until the eight provinces are all gathered to perfection, and the eight essence seeds can be produced. The Eight Mansions Qi Consummation Perfecter can obtain a special ability, even if they enter the ability period, then the students are considered to have officially graduated, and then embark on their own life paths according to the different abilities of awakening.

Zhou Xiusheng woke up for some reason in a desperate situation at this time and entered the second stage, which gave him the confidence to escape again. After taking a deep breath, he dived into the bottom of the river and picked up a stone, and found a direction to walk forward, the more he walked forward, the more resistance there became, but at the moment the stone he was holding was heavy enough, and the current could not even rush him.

He didn't know how long he had been walking at the bottom of the river, but the eight mansions in his body kept him from suffocating, until he felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, and then he threw away the stone and floated upward. As soon as his head was empty, the feeling of being surrounded by water disappeared, and his whole head poked out of the water, Zhou Xiusheng took a deep breath of cold air, and the feeling of escaping death was too good.

As soon as he slackened, his body was involuntarily carried back by the current for a few meters, he took a few breaths and sank into the water, repeated the method just now, picked up a stone and continued to walk upstream, and after several times, he finally touched the flat ground in a place by the river and climbed up.

Zhou Xiusheng hit the flint a few times, observed the place where he climbed up, and found that it was a little familiar, and after careful identification, it turned out to be the place where he jumped into the river, he touched the inclined passage with his memory, walked for a while, and saw a fire in front of the passage.

He frowned, thinking to himself that Mo Jie was still guarding it, right? Try not to make a sound when walking, go up, and after a while, I came to the cave with moon mushrooms, only to see two lit torches hanging on the wall, the cave was empty, and the ground was densely packed with white moon mushrooms, Zhou Xiusheng thought that his eyes were spent, and twisted his eyes with his hand to confirm that he was wrong. I thought to hell, wasn't this moon mushroom picked up by myself and others, how did it grow so quickly and again.

Zhou Xiusheng took a torch from the wall, walked through the moon mushroom, and after walking for a while, he found that there was no need for torches to illuminate at all, and there were torches inserted into the cave wall every other distance.

There was something strange in his heart, this cave seemed to have been developed, and there were many traces of artificiality.

But it had only been a few hours since he had been swept away by the river, and when had the federal government become so efficient that so many torches had been planted in the cave in such a short time.

Zhou Xiusheng continued to walk forward with doubts in his heart, and came to the huge karst cave with stalagmites, his ears heard someone talking, he quietly leaned over, and saw several elegantly dressed noble ladies, pointing at the stalagmites in front of him, and his mouth was still saying words that Zhou Xiusheng did not understand.

He observed for a while and noticed something strange, these noble ladies were all wearing long silk dresses, and they looked gorgeous. But the Federalists rarely wore silk clothes, because it was cold in the north, and generally only wore cotton or linen clothes. Looking at the silk skirts and embroidered patterns on these noble ladies, they are very similar to the clothes of the Southern Empire!
