Chapter Twenty-Six: Avoiding Disaster in the Cave

"Let's go, let's go see them, I seem to have heard the voice of Lingyao girl just now......"

"Yes, yes, yes!" After being reminded by the old lady, Nangong Yi suddenly remembered that when she was holding Tang Jue in the room just now, she heard Ling Yao's call, but then she was busy dealing with those people in black, and then she found that so many people had died at once, so she forgot about it. Now that he thought about it, he said: "Tang Jue fainted just now, and I don't know what happened now, let's go and take a look." ”

To their disappointment, Ling Yao still hadn't woken up, while Tang Jue sat on the ground, lying on Ling Yao's bed, also unconscious.

Nangong Yi carefully picked up Tang Jue, put him on the small bamboo couch in front of the window, probed Tang Jue's pulse, and found that he was just tired and out of strength, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. I went to see Ling Yao again, but I was just stimulated, and Ling Yao's pulse was a little short.

Nangong Yi told Chunhai about the situation, and Chunhai sat aside and held Ling Yao's hand to talk to her, full of memories of the past, and the soft and warm voice seemed to have magic, stretching the time long and long.

Nangong Yi couldn't have imagined that this masculine man who killed people with a knife just now would have such a tender side.

At dusk, the sky was floating up and raining, the old lady was holding bottles and cans to arrange various formations and traps, Chunhai was accompanying Ling Yao, and Nangong Yi had to act as a temporary coolie.

After helping the old lady set up the trap, he also used the talisman and some other materials to arrange a Xuanjian Gate's evil warding formation.

Then they rushed to the mountains with Tang Jue and Lingyao with the people in the village.

After passing through the tea plantation in the back mountain, the road suddenly became rugged and bumpy, or it could not be called a road at all, it could only be said to be a beast path. Only the brave herb pickers occasionally walk by. There was a section that was only about a foot wide, with thousands of walls on top and a steep abyss below, allowing only one person to pass with his back against the mountain wall.

And Chunhai carried Ling Yao on his back, Nangong Yi carried Tang Jue on his back, and he had to eliminate the traces of walking on the road all the way.

Fortunately, it is obviously not the first time that the people in this village have gone to the secret stronghold in the mountains, everyone has a division of labor and cooperation, and it is orderly, don't look at Aunt Wang and his wife and some old men and old ladies are very old, and they are powerless, compared to the young men who carry food on their backs, it is not much better, which makes Nangong Yi quite embarrassed.

The rain was pouring down, and the rocky road was quite slippery, but with the help of each other, no one had any accidents.

Soon the crowd came to a huge banyan tree. The branches of this banyan tree are luxuriant, the roots are intertwined, the radius of nearly a thousand meters is all under the cover of this tree, the roots on the branches hang down to the ground, and break the soil and take root, open branches and leaves, it is actually a single tree into a forest, which makes people think of the famous "bird's paradise".

But apparently they weren't here to enjoy the view, and a few of the villagers, young and strong, under the command of the old patriarch, walked through the banyan grove and cleared a weedy vine from the main trunk, revealing a huge hole.

At this time, Tang Jue had already woken up, and Nangong Yi helped her sit down on a big stone under the banyan tree. In fact, Tang Jue woke up early in the morning, but I don't know why, the warm breath on Nangong Yi's body made her linger very much, and she could feel that the aura was slowly recovering, and she was slowly converging from the limbs to the dantian, so she didn't move.

Nangong Yi put a clean bag on the boulder, and carefully pulled up the skirt for Tang Jue to avoid getting dirty. Tang Jue sat down and asked, "Where is this?" ”

"A cave in the back mountain." Nangong Yi told Tang Jue about the people in the village going to the cave to avoid trouble.

Tang Jue nodded, and asked again, "What about Ling Yao?" How is she? ”

"She's fine, just hasn't woken up yet." Nangong Yi pointed to the spring sea on the side, where Ling Yao was sleeping in his arms.

Tang Jue said: "Actually, she has woken up, but she only has a wisp of divine consciousness, and she is very weak, and her brain activity is infrequent, I guess she should be due to incomplete soul." ”

"Soul incomplete? Could it really be that the soul has been detained? Nangong Yi thought of what Chunhai said earlier about the old lady's dream.

Tang Jue was also thinking about the same thing at this time, she didn't believe in any ghosts and gods, people's souls were not all but frightened or something, but she had too little experience, and even such a thing as seizing the house could happen, so it was better to believe it when it came to detaining souls.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but nodded: "If you want to make Ling Yao wake up, you can only find her detained soul, otherwise her vitality will only be exhausted little by little, and her vitality will become weaker and weaker." ”

"Hmm." Nangong Yi agreed, thoughtfully.

Tang Jue suddenly said, "What kind of place is that?" She pointed to a place with gorgeous mountain flowers.

"I don't know, but it's beautiful, do you want to go over and have a look?" Nangong Yi hooked the corners of his mouth, a warm smile bloomed on his face, and his eyes were as bright as a morning star.

Tang Jue's heart suddenly pounded in this warm smile, as if a pool of blue waves had opened up layers of ripples. Without even thinking about it, she nodded in agreement.

On the one hand, he secretly scolded in his heart: Beauty harms people, harms the country and the people!

Nangong Yi naturally took her hand, his warm and dry palm was close to hers, different from the wide and powerful palm of Long Teng's hand, his fingers were slender and slightly soft.

Tang Jue struggled, Nangong Yi's fingers tightened, and he turned his head sideways and asked her, "What's wrong?" There was a smile on his lips, so gentle that he seemed to be able to drown people.

Tang Jue shook his head and stammered, "No, it's nothing." ”

Nangong Yi's eyes were full of smiles, he lowered his head and blew the broken hair in front of his forehead, calmly stepped forward, and said from time to time "Beware of slipping", "Be careful of your step" and the like. As if these concerns were all too commonplace.

It was a large bush of wild roses, red, yellow, purple, white, and blooming brilliantly, like rushing to a grand ball, scrambling to be the first. A drizzle fell on the petals, like crystal dew rolling, making it more and more that the flower bloomed smartly and vividly.

The rich fragrance rushes to the face, mixed with the smell of the earth, not like autumn, but like late spring in March.

"It's beautiful!" Tang Jue couldn't help but admire.

"Do you like it?" Without waiting for Tang Jue to answer, Nangong Yi had already bent down to pick one and handed it to her.

When Nangong Yi picked the flowers, Tang Jue's eyes also fell, and she caught a glimpse of a few green grasses growing under the flowers, her eyes lit up, so she didn't pick up the flowers handed over by Nangong Yi, but squatted down and pulled the flower branches, and sure enough, she saw a few cypress leaf-like flower-like plants trying their best to stretch their curled leaves.

Nangong Yi also saw these little grasses, and couldn't help but cry out in surprise: "Soul Rejuvenation Grass? ”

Tang Jue's eyes smiled crookedly and nodded: "We are so lucky, maybe Ling Yao can rely on it to return to the soul." When she got closer, she could feel the faint aura fluctuations on these Soul Rejuvenation Grasses, thinking that the year was already incomparable, and it was not comparable to the kind of instant products sold on the market.

The scientific name of the Nine Dead Soul Grass is Juan Bai, also known as Huiyang Grass, "Medicinal Materia Medica" says that it can cure corpse scabies, making "a hundred evil ghosts cry".

Nangong Yi put aside the flower in his hand and said, "You wait here, I'll go find a shovel." "He was originally a free and easy person, just picking flowers and sending flowers was just a whim, and now that he is in business, he naturally put those jokes behind.

He turned around and left, but he didn't notice the flicker of loss in Tang Jue's eyes.

After a while, the two of them dug up the Nine Dead Soul Rejuvenation Grass, and the villagers over there almost cleaned up the cave, and the food and personal belongings they brought were also moved in, and Tang Jue and Nangong Yi also followed everyone into the banyan tree.

The old patriarch beckoned someone to camouflage the entrance of the cave, and Ling Yao's uncle and grandmother also made a warning arrangement at the entrance of the cave.

This hole is divided into two parts, the hole outside is not big, about 100 square looks, it is dug out by hand, it looks like an air-raid shelter during the Anti-Japanese War, but the villagers take it as a way to avoid disaster, there may often be people to take care of it, it is dry and clean inside, and there are even beds made of simple wooden planks and some living utensils on the ground.

The cave was lit by bright torches, and it didn't feel stuffy at all.

Chunhai and a few young people took buckets and beckoned Nangong Yi to go inside, saying that they were going to fetch water. Nangong Yi responded and asked Tang Jue, "Can you also go and have a look?" ”

"Okay." Tang Jue still has some dependence on Nangong Yi in his heart, although he is young, he feels calm and reliable, and his life is saved by him, if he wants to harm himself, he doesn't have to save him at the beginning. It was better to be with him than with a group of strangers, and it was the first time she had been with so many people since she was born. What's more, these people are all the most mysterious people of the Miao Gu tribe, she has been plagued by poison for so many days, and she is already very afraid of Gu and things in her heart.

Passing through a section of the road is a naturally formed large karst cave, the cave is surrounded by stalagmites, stalactites hang down, and there are some stalagmites and stalactites to form a thin stone pillar with two thick ends in the middle.

The cave can be heard ticking and ticking, and some vines are wrapped around the stone pillars, and over the years, they have all grown to the thickness of an adult's arm. In the faint light of the torches, these stalactites reflect a little bit of light like stars, which is a spectacle.

In the center of the cave, there is a small pool, and the pool is filled with white mist, like a fairyland.

Tang Jue took a deep breath, only to feel refreshed and full of energy. I just feel that the aura seems to recover faster in this place than outside.

Chunhai and the others brought water out of the pool and invited Nangong Yi and Tang Jue to taste it, the pool water was crystal clear, the entrance was clear and sweet, and it was much better than the mountain spring water sold outside.

Nangong Yiqi said: "How can this little pool of stagnant water not deteriorate over the years? ”

"Brother Nangong, don't underestimate this water." Hearing Nangong Yi say this, some people in the crowd were suddenly dissatisfied, and the person who spoke was a man in his thirties, named Lu Dongshan, but he injured his right leg when he went into the mountains to hunt in his early years, and he was lame all the time, and he couldn't enter the mountain.

Chunhai laughed, there was a bit of smugness in his eyes, and said: "This is not some stagnant water, there is a spring below this, it is the holy water of Longtan people, drinking it all year round to strengthen the body and prolong life, every year on the holy bath festival, the village people will come in to take water to take a bath, after taking a bath, the body is light and healthy, and there is no disease." And there is a skylight on top of this one, which is said to be able to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. ”

"So amazing?" Nangong Yi's eyes lit up, and he looked up at the top of the cave.

Tang Jue also raised his head, only to find that on the top of the dome-like cave, there was indeed a faint light penetrating in, because it was too high, it looked only the size of a basin.

"Of course! Let's get the water out of here. Chunhai picked up two buckets of water and left, and the rest of the people also went out, Nangong Yi winked at Tang Jue, and also went out. The firelight faded, Tang Jue glanced at the misty pool nostalgically, and had to go out.

In addition to the skylight on the top of the cave, there is only one exit to this cave, as long as it is properly arranged at the door, it can be described as "one man is not open", easy to defend and difficult to attack, Tang Jue and Nangong Yi can't help but admire the wisdom of the people in the village.
