Xiao Yu'er followed Xiao Lan, Ji Nan and the others to walk in first, looking at the spectacular scene inside, Xiao Yu'er immediately thought of his sister. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's so spectacular, how can it be without his sister.
Who knew that when he turned around, he saw the two people who were about to stick together, and after thinking about it, he still beckoned, "Sister, come here!" ”
After finishing speaking, he felt a cold gaze sweeping over, Xiao Yu'er shuddered, looked over secretly, and met Xue Yi's eyes, and hurriedly turned his head and pretended not to know anything.
Xiao Yu'er glanced at Xiao Lan, Ji Nan, Uncle Zhong, and Xiao Lu who were walking in front, and felt that she was still too tender!
Lin Xi heard Xiao Yu'er's greeting and walked inside.
Xue Yi lowered his head and smiled, and then followed behind Lin Xi.
Lin Xi glanced at the side of the gourd vine where he was standing before, and couldn't help but rejoice that he was running fast, but the one-zhang wide cave wall could collapse down to ten cubic meters of earth and stones.
But somehow, when the earth and rocks collapsed, they all avoided the lush gourd vine, and only the ash sprinkled on the leaves of the vine.
Lin Xi looked at the gourd vine, and suddenly felt some emotion in his heart, he was thinking about how to get in all the time a while ago, but he couldn't find a trace of it, who knew that today he just pulled it so casually, and the hole was opened.
That's the chance!
Lin Xi jumped over the rocks and jumped to the ground.
The lowest part of the Zhenjiamai Cave was two feet lower than the cave where Lin Xi and the others were temporarily staying.
Lin Xi looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned.
The cave is long and narrow, two zhang high, five or six zhang wide, the further inside, the darker the light, and in the end, it is impossible to see how long the cave is, and the figure of Xiao Lan Jinan and others walking in the front is already a little blurred.
Closely, because there is a light source nearby, you can clearly see the scene in front of you.
The cave is full of stalactites, moist and fresh, some are like jade pillars from the top to the ground vertically, some are like rain clouds hanging upside down in the air, some are like white waves surging, the waves are surging in the sky, it is really a thousand weather, it is a wonder.
The ground is covered with large and small stalagmites, with a clear luster and peculiar shapes. Some are the size of a finger, some are pillars high, some are round and round to form a string of 'beads', and some are several stalagmites next to each other to form a small stalagmite forest.
In front of Lin Xi hung a stout stalactite, the top was thigh-thick, but at the bottom it was only the tip of a needle, and under it was a cluster of stalagmites.
At this moment, Lin Xi heard a clear 'click' sound, and saw that this huge stalactite cracked out of the middle, the gap became bigger and bigger, and soon the upper and lower parts were separated, and the tip below fell to the ground and shattered.
Lin Xi walked around the mess and continued to walk forward.
From time to time, he could kick a few towering stalagmites, and Lin Xi almost fell down, thinking about it, he still took out two night pearls from the storage bag and hung them on his waist.
Now, the scene in the cave is clearer.
After walking for about a kilometer, Lin Xi still didn't see the coveted armor, but heard the vague sound of running water.
Is there an underground river here?
Lin Xi walked a few steps briskly, the air gradually dried, and stalactites and stalagmites became less and less.
After a while, a stalactite and stalagmite were no longer visible, but the ground beneath his feet became ordinary stony, and the walls on both sides were covered with strangely shaped and irregular stones.
Without stalagmites blocking the way, Xue Yi walked beside Lin Xi with confidence, looking at the surrounding environment while glancing at Lin Xi's expression from time to time.
Seeing that her face was normal and her mind was in the hole, she put her mind at ease.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Xi finally saw an underground river, which was two zhang wide and occupied more than half of the cave. The sound of gurgling water is crisp and pleasant, there are a few fish swimming in the water, there are swallow fish, carp, etc., the water quality is clear, the bottom of the water is fine and clean sand, and there are wisps of aquatic plants floating in the water.
Xiaolan, Ji Nan and the others had been waiting here for a long time, and when they saw Lin Xi and Ji Nan coming over, they beckoned the two to sit down and rest together.
Lin Xi stood at the water's edge, looking at the grizzled people in the water, only then did he remember that he had forgotten to change his clothes, and glanced at the few people sitting at the water's edge, "Wait a minute!" I'll be out in a moment! ”
After saying that, he flashed into the space.
After a quick bath, Lin Xi came out after changing into a clean robe.
And Xue Yi Jinan and Xiao Yu'er were fishing around the water, without using spells, nor using magic weapons or charms, of course, they couldn't have tools, just like mortal children fishing, walking into the water, leaning over to catch them with both hands.
The front and back of this section of the three-person fishing were blocked by them with large stones on the side of the cave wall, and more than a dozen fish were blocked in the middle for the three to catch.
The body of the fish is slippery, and as soon as it is caught, it slips away, not only did it not catch the fish, but it was splashed by the fish. This one smiled and looked at that, but he didn't know that he was just as funny.
The three of them are not much different, Ji Nan is a demon clan, and hunting is a natural ability, although he was not very skilled at first, he caught it a few more times, and the time that the fish was in his hands became longer and longer. It didn't take long to hold an inch-long fish to show a few people on the shore, and then demonstratively let Xue Yi and Xiaoyu'er show it. Who knew that Ji Nan was a little carried away, and the fish ran away while he was excited.
Xue Yi was the second to catch a fish, and he didn't pounce on a fish when he saw a fish like Ji Nan and Xiaoyu'er. It's about looking at a fish, waiting for the best time, and if you don't shoot, you will definitely catch it.
At this time, there was already a pile of fire surrounded by gravel on the shore, and the fawn also came over with a small bundle of wooden branches, Lin Xi hurriedly greeted the bundle of wooden branches, sat on the edge of the fire, took out a dagger and sharpened it, and in a short time cut a dozen of them.
And Xue Yi also happened to hold two carps with two palms on the shore, and when he saw that Lin Xi had cut the wooden branches, he handed the fish over.
The fish was still alive, and splashed Lin Xi's face with its tail.
Xue Yi looked at Lin Xi with his eyes closed, lowered his head and laughed silently.
Lin Xi didn't answer, and glared at Xue Yi.
Xiao Lan, who was sitting cross-legged next to Lin Xi, looked helplessly and saw that Xue Yi was still in the posture of handing, and stroked his forehead, "Xue Yi Xue Daoyou!" ”
Lin Xi was stunned by this title, and laughed out loud.
Xiaolan said quickly, "This fish can't be roasted like this directly, the fish must be killed first, and then the internal organs in the belly of the fish must be removed!" ”
It's over, I sighed silently in my heart, it is estimated that this child is also the first time.
What Xue Yi saw was either an edible finished fish on the table or a live fish still swimming in the water, and he really didn't know how complicated it would be to grill a fish. Not only him, but even other immortal cultivators are the same, of course, please exclude foodies like Xiao Yu'er and chef monks like Mu Yang who came from the Yangshan Palace.
Xue Yi listened to Xiaolan's words, and his heart was a little broken, he didn't even know this! His face suddenly turned red, leaving a sentence, "That, I'm going to kill the fish!" ”
After saying that, the man quickly disappeared into the darkness in the distance.
Lin Xi and Xiaolan smiled unkindly again.
And at this time, Ji Nan finally caught two more fish, and happily handed the live fish to Lin Xi, Lin Xi was weak for a while, and pointed to the place where Xue Yi disappeared, "Go find Xue Yi, you two can have a good exchange!" ”
The little fish, who loves fish the most, finally came ashore with a string of fish. He used water weeds to pass through the gills of fish to make one, two, three...... Six fish were skewered together.
Lin Xi boasted, "Little fish, you have caught the most!" ”
Xiao Yu'er smiled, a row of big white teeth shining, "Hey, sister, it's not much, it's just average!" ”
Lin Xi and Xiaolan have experienced Xue Yi and Ji Nan, and they no longer have confidence in Xiao Yu'er, so they are waiting for him to hand it over, who knows that Xiao Yu'er looked at the two people who were waiting to watch the play and said, "I'm not those two, I don't even know what to do before making fish, I'll show you a hand later!" ”
After speaking, carrying the aquatic grass and holding the dagger called 'piranha' in the direction of Xue Yi Jinan, Lin Xi looked at Xiao Yu'er's back worriedly, and asked Xiao Lan, "You say, can he still get back six fish?" ”
Xiaolan smiled, "I guess I can't get it back!" ”
Lin Xi sighed and walked to the water's edge with two sharpened wooden branches, and without seeing how hard she did, the two wooden branches were thrown into the middle of the river, swimming over the two fish here. The wooden branch didn't pierce the fish, but only knocked the fish out.
Before Lin Xi could go into the water to get the fish, the deer who came over happily stepped into the water, picked up the two fish and jumped out.
Lin Xi patted it on the head and motioned for it to send it over to the three of them.
It would take a while for the three of them to kill the fish, Lin Xi took out a bunch of lean jerky from the storage bag, this is still the jerky stored in the mountains in the previous two months, because the space in the storage bag is similar to a vacuum, so the food will not spoil for a long time.
He cut the jerky into pieces about the size of the Night Pearl, and threaded these pieces of meat onto the sharpened branches, like kebabs in the previous life. Because it was not fresh meat, Lin Xi first brushed a layer of honey on it, and then set it above the fire. Mix the seasonings in proportion and sprinkle them on top while baking.
By the time Xue Yi and Ji Nan Xiaoyuer came back with the killed fish, the river was already filled with the thick aroma of barbecue.
Because Lin Xi never eats fatty meat, all he prepares is lean meat. I don't know if it's because of the thick layer of honey, after baking, it is shiny and shiny, and it looks very appetizing, and it doesn't have the feeling of being thin from ordinary lean meat.
After Xiao Yu'er, a foodie, handed the fish to Lin Xi, he couldn't wait to pick up a skewer of barbecue and eat it, so hot that he stuck out his tongue vigorously, and kept eating, muttering inarticulate while eating, "It's delicious!" It's delicious! ”
The mouth of the foodie wants to be picky, and he can get the affirmation of the foodie, Lin Xi is also happy in his heart, and he hurriedly distributed the remaining meat skewers to several other people, and even the vegetarian deer looked at the meat skewers and couldn't move.
Lin Xi inserted the last meat skewer on the ground and let the deer eat it slowly, and the fawn affectionately pasted Lin Xi's cheek before shyly running to the meat skewer.
Lin Xi didn't eat, she was already full just by smelling it.
Lin Xi checked the fish processed by the three of them again, although it was the first time to do it, it was all good, very clean, and even the fish heads that could not be eaten were cut off.
Lin Xi used the remaining wooden branches to put on the fish body, the same as the roasted meat, first brushed with a thick layer of honey, and then placed it on the shelf above the fire, turning it from time to time, sprinkling some salt, spices or something.
After grilling seven fish, there were still five fish left, Lin Xi looked at the little fish who was still wiping his mouth, "Little fish, don't you want to show your hand?" Come on, I'll give you this opportunity now! ”
Xiao Yu'er was reminiscing about the barbecue, and when he heard this, he remembered the delicious grilled fish, jumped up from the ground, and replied with great interest, "Okay! Here it is! ”
None of the people present had ever seen Xiao Yu'er cook in person, and they all watched Xiao Yu'er's movements curiously.
Xiao Yu'er suddenly became shy and set up a barrier to block everyone's sight.
Lin Xi turned his head cooperatively and chatted with everyone.
"By the way, Xiaolan, we've been gone for so long, why haven't we seen the armor yet?" Lin Xi asked, looking around the cave walls on both sides.
"It's coming! You'll see you soon! Xiaolan didn't say much.
Lin Xi didn't ask any more questions. At this time, the fish was gradually cooked, and Lin Xi took off the wooden branch and inserted it by the fire to let it cool slowly.
He raised his voice and asked, "Xiao Yu'er, are you okay?" ”
"It's coming! You leave me a skewer of grilled fish! ”
Lin Xi smiled helplessly, worthy of being a foodie!
And Xiaolan looked at the fish inserted by the fire, and suddenly said in surprise, "The content of the nail in this fish is very rich, we have earned it!" ”
Lin Xi also leaned in to take a look, but he didn't see anything, but remembered that the swallow fish containing the armor that the cat demon caught in the fenced pool could have gone out from here?
But then she shook her head, the source of the underground river was at least two kilometers from the cave, and without water, could the fish walk over on long legs?
Xue Yi, who had been paying attention to Lin Xi, nodded and shook his head when he saw her for a while, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Tell me, maybe I know! ”
Lin Xi thought about it, several of them were much more experienced than him, maybe they knew something. So I said my thoughts.
Halfway, Xue Yi shook his head, and suddenly lowered his head and nodded, "Well, that's right, the swallow fish in the pond are likely to flow from this underground river." I don't know if you've noticed where we're coming? ”
"If you look along the river, you can see that the side of the river is lower than the other. If I'm not mistaken, the underground river was supposed to lead all the way to the cave. It was only then, for unknown reasons, that the water level of the river gradually decreased, and finally dried up completely. There was a high slope between the cave and the cave, and the cave and the cave that should have been full of water gradually shrank like the underground river, until it is a puddle to this day. ”
Lin Xi nodded, this was no stranger to her, many rivers in her previous life gradually disappeared like this, the most famous is the Peacock River in the Western Regions, including the crescent moon spring that has not completely disappeared. Of course, the reasons are not the same as this underground river.
