Chapter Twenty-Six: The Way Home
The cave was pitch black, and Zhao Fei looked down, and he saw a stone staircase leading to the bottom. Zhao Fei quickly lit the torch and walked down, while Xu Ruyi followed him and went down with him.
The basement space is not large, only about a dozen square meters. The space below is not high, that is, more than one person high.
There were several weapons and a few books inside, while the walls were carved with text and some patterns.
Zhao Fei picked up a book and took a closer look, it was actually a cultivation exercise. Those who can stay here must be good things, all treasures.
"You take these three books and study them first, and I'll continue to read them below. ”
Xu Ruyi and the others went up first, and Zhao Fei held the torch to take a closer look at what was engraved on the four walls.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became, and the more he watched, the more delighted he became.
This is a complete set of cultivation exercises, and the meaning is profound, and I can't understand it for a while. He stayed in it for a few hours, until he had memorized it all, and then he walked out of the basement.
"Brother Fei, these are a few martial arts books, both cultivation techniques and skill diagrams, these are definitely treasures. Xu Ruyi and the others couldn't hide the excitement in their hearts.
"Okay, show me. ”
Zhao Fei took it and took a closer look, his face showing ecstasy. These are all high-level exercises and martial arts, although my strength is not strong now, but I have followed the old man for so long, and I have seen a lot more knowledge.
"Zhao Ming, this Qingtian Seal is for you to cultivate. Ruyi, this Rulai hand is suitable for your cultivation. Zhao Yang, Zhao Kun, you two cultivate this book"
"Big brother, you gave all this to a few of us to cultivate, so what are you and Yu'er cultivating?" Zhao Ming hurriedly asked.
"These three exercises are suitable for men to cultivate, Yu'er is a girl, she is not suitable for cultivating these exercises. The exercises I am practicing now are not integrated with these, and there is a Pingtian Decision on the stone wall in the basement, so I'll try to see if it suits my cultivation. ”
"You guys don't care about me, just cultivate yourself. ”
The old man told Zhao Fei that his Hinayana exercises were advanced exercises, and as long as he could fully understand them in this life, his future achievements would be limitless.
Zhao Fei has been cultivating for more than two years, and his strength has improved rapidly. I have already experienced the essence of Hinayana exercises, and the more I practice, the more wonderful I feel about this practice.
Therefore, he should not practice too many exercises, and he should not be too miscellaneous. If you concentrate on practicing Hinayana exercises well, you will definitely benefit immensely.
The few of them practiced hard every day, and they would practice against each other every day, and occasionally go to the forests of the mountains to find a herd of beasts to practice.
Ping Tian is a good thing, Zhao Fei tried to cultivate, but he fell into it and couldn't extricate himself.
It has been almost two years since I entered the mountain.
They used to be young teenagers, but now they have grown into adults. Zhao Yu'er has changed the most, and she has now become a slim girl.
Although they have experienced many hardships and life and death disasters in the past two years, everyone has never regretted it.
Growing up requires experiencing many things, and as long as they can get out of the mountains alive, this experience is a precious treasure that they have for life, and no one can take it away.
They cherish life, love life, and now merge themselves with nature. There is me between heaven and earth, and I am between heaven and earth.
In the past few months, they have not been in a hurry to break through the realm, because they have improved too fast before, and now they need to precipitate and lay a solid foundation.
Finally, one day, they couldn't suppress the realm, and they all improved to the first order.
And Zhao Fei also broke through from the ninth order of the refining realm to the first order of the refining realm.
"Hahahaha. I feel like I have infinite power in me now, and it feels good to be advanced. "Xu Ruyi and Zhao Ming have already reached the seventh order of the Refining Realm.
"We have returned to Flame City with such strength, and we have no rivals among our peers. Zhao Ming was very proud.
"Remember, there are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of heaven. We are now equated with a new start, and we cannot afford to be complacent. Zhao Fei alerted them in a timely manner.
"Well, big brother, we'll remember. Zhao Ming also felt that he was overjoyed.
"We can't stay here anymore, we have to find a way to get out of the mountains, we've been in the mountains for too long. ”
"Big brother, why don't we leave tomorrow, I've been very homesick lately. Grandpa, they must be in a hurry, we have been away from home for too long. Yu'er said as she spoke, tears were about to fall.
"Okay, the cave is here for others to continue to use in the future. ”
Zhao Fei returned to the basement, and he destroyed all the Pingtian Decision on the stone wall. Because the man left a message about it, the first person to see it learned to make a decision, and he had to erase all the words on the stone wall.
After all the handwriting in the stone cave was erased by Zhao Fei, Zhao Fei took them and began to look for a way out of the mountain.
They all know that the water flows down. If you go down the stream, you will definitely reach the bottom of the mountain.
At this time, they were all excited, and they no longer had the same directionless and goalless ramming as before.
The creek meandered in the canyon, and Zhao Fei and the others walked down the stream.
The canyon was sometimes narrow and sometimes wide, and after four or five days they were in trouble again.
Because the canyon was gone, and in front of them was a great mountain. The stream passes through the cave below, and there is no road in front of it.
It is surrounded on three sides by towering mountains, and it is not easy to climb and traverse them. Everyone's excitement suddenly fell to the bottom.
"Big brother, what should we do next?" Zhao Ming asked anxiously.
"It's not a big problem for us to climb the mountain, and we can go up with our current strength. But what we will encounter when we enter the mountains, everything is still difficult to say. Now we have only two paths, either over the mountain in front of us, or through the cave in this stream. ”
"Big brother, we don't know how long and deep this cave is. We don't know if there is any danger in it, so isn't it more risky?" Zhao Ming shook his head, he denied Zhao Fei's suggestion.
"Because we don't know, we need to explore. My idea is that I'm going to go in first, and you're waiting for me here. ”
"No, it's too dangerous, you can't risk it. Everyone disagreed with Zhao Fei's idea.
"I'll go in first, and I'll come back if there's any danger. I have now reached the Refining Realm, and I believe in my strength. Zhao Fei insisted on his opinion.
Everyone couldn't convince Zhao Fei, so they had to agree to him to go on an expedition.
After months of sedimentation, the stream is now clear, but there are still many places along the way.
Zhao Fei jumped into the stream and swam towards the cave with the stream.
The cave was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers, and the only sound in my ears was the sound of running water.
Zhao Fei was always holding a long stick in his hand, which was more than two meters long. As he swam forward, he tested the depth of the water with his long stick.
Sometimes I can get to the bottom of it, and sometimes I feel unfathomable below.
From time to time, you can encounter fish scurrying around you in the stream, and you will occasionally encounter some small water recklessness. But these are basically no threat to Zhao Fei now.
Half a day passed, but it still didn't come to an end, which made Zhao Fei very anxious. If the cave is too long, they won't be able to swim out, after all, everyone's physical strength is limited.
When he was desperate to give up, he thought of his sister and them, thought of Grandpa Wang and his grandfather, and his faith supported him to move on.
After another hour, there was a light in front of him, Zhao Fei was overjoyed, and he swam forward quickly.
Swimming out of the cave, the scene in front of him made Zhao Fei stunned, this is still a canyon, but the stream diverges in three directions.
Zhao Fei didn't know which way to go, but he could be sure that this place was getting closer and closer to the outside.
He quickly found some wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and he had to swim back again to bring Yu'er and them out first.
When you come out, you go downstream, and when you go back, you go upstream, and you can imagine the hardships. Therefore, Zhao Fei must maintain enough physical fitness, because it will take longer to swim back.
Zhao Fei rested for a while and then jumped into the stream and swam upstream along the cave.
By the time Zhao Feiyou returned to Zhao Ming and the others, it was already late at night, and the time to come back was three times the time it took to go out.
For more than a day, Zhao Ming and others were anxious. They were worried that Zhao Fei would have an accident, and they had been waiting anxiously here.
When Zhao Feiyou came back, everyone burst into tears of excitement.
"Big brother, you're coming. If you don't come back, we're all going to go down to you. Zhao Yuer hugged Zhao Fei and didn't let go.
"Get me something to eat, I'm hungry. ”
Zhao Fei was lying on the ground, he was very tired now. He wanted to have a warm bed and sleep on it.
"Brother, here you go, this is the grilled fish we left for you. ”
Zhao Fei picked up the grilled fish and devoured it, he was so hungry.
"Hurry up and rest, I'll take you out tomorrow morning. ”
He didn't talk much, for he was now sleepy and tired, and in a few moments he was lying on the floor and falling asleep.
No one bothered him, knowing that he must be very hard and tired.
When Zhao Fei woke up, it was already the next morning, and Zhao Ming had already prepared breakfast and had been waiting for Zhao Fei to wake up.
Zhao Fei picked up a rabbit leg and ate it in a big gulp.
"Eat quickly, all of you, and when we are done we will swim back down the cave. The cave is about a hundred miles long, and it takes a few hours to get out, and we all have to keep our strength up. ”
After hearing this, everyone was very excited and immediately began to eat meat, and they were full of anticipation to be able to get out of the mountain.
After breakfast, Zhao Fei took them to swim forward along the cave.
In the cave, they followed Zhao Fei closely, and Zhao Fei was still holding his sister in his arms.
A few hours later, Zhao Fei finally swam out of the cave with them.
The sun is so good here today, and they are lying on the ground greedily inhaling fresh air.
"Let's go find something to eat now, and we'll rest for a while before we set off. ”
"Big brother, the stream is divided into three streams, which one should we take?" Zhao Ming asked.
"We followed the stream in the middle, and my instinct was that we might be able to get out of the mountains. ”
The big fish in the stream became their delicacy, and after they were full, Zhao Fei took them on their way.
There was laughter and laughter along the way, after all, everyone felt that they were getting closer and closer to the mountain.
They walked along the creek for another six or seven days.
Although the road was overgrown with bushes and thorns, they slowed down. But it's still much better than walking in the mountains and forests.
As everyone is full of hope and their steps are becoming more and more relaxed, they believe that home is not far ahead.
