158. Caves

"Tick answer" "Tick answer", the sound is endless.

Lingyu felt something gently brushing her face, bringing a slightly moist coolness, as if someone was wiping her face with a damp cloth.

The body was in severe pain, but his consciousness gradually cleared up. She slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing that caught her eye was a stalactite dripping with water not far away.

"I ......" moved his mouth, but no sound came out.

"Awake?" An indifferent voice sounded, just to the left.

Lingyu looked sideways slightly, and saw Xu Zheng holding a jade cup in his hand, slowly approaching.

She blinked, a little confused.

Xu Zheng half-knelt down, reached out to support her back, and brought the jade cup over: "Take a sip." ”

The sweet breath came to his face, with an incomparably rich aura, Lingyu involuntarily opened his mouth and drank the liquid in the cup.

The slightly thick transparent liquid slid down from the dry throat and fell into the abdomen, and a cool and warm aura slowly dispersed into the limbs, and the pain suddenly subsided.

What is this? The best panacea she had ever seen had no such effect.

Probably because she had been staring at the cup for too long, Xu Zheng said, "Is it so good-looking?" ”

Lingyu was startled, she had just woken up, she was still a little confused, and she intuitively looked up.

Xu Zheng probably didn't expect her to look up, and was about to let go and retreat, when her head was tilted, and her chin slammed into Lingyu's forehead.

The two of them snorted at the same time, covering their chins and covering their foreheads.

After staring at the big eyes for a while, Xu Zheng put down his hand in annoyance, got up and walked away with the jade cup.

"Ahem!" Lingyu cleared her throat and adjusted to the voice, breaking the embarrassment, "Thank you." ”

Xu Zheng snorted and didn't speak.

Taking advantage of this time, Lingyu observed the environment. where they are. It is a karst cave, about a dozen zhang square, very spacious. The roof of the cave, the rock wall, and the stalactites are everywhere, with various forms and colors, under the reflection of the moonstone. Shimmering with the ultimate in magnificence.

The cave is artificially separated and becomes an enclosed space. The place where Lingyu lies is a flat stone platform, which looks like a stone bed, and next to it is an irregularly shaped stone table, which is more than a zhang long, and there are books, papers, inkstones, pen holders, and jade slips on it...... Miscellaneous things, covered with a thick layer of ash. On the other side of the stone table, the rock wall is hewn into the shape of a bookshelf. Piled up full of books and jade slips.

Lingyu's gaze shifted to the other end. There were two pools of water droplets, one large and one small, the big one was more than square, like a bath, and the small one was only two or three feet. It can only be regarded as a pit. Next to the big pool is a small Danding, and there are many bottles and cans next to it.

Xu Zheng washed the cup in the big pool, put it back in the Qiankun bag, and then took a damp cloth to wipe his hands.

Lingyu watched. I thought to myself, he really wiped his face just now? I can't see that Xu Gongzi would still do this kind of thing.

Xu Zheng didn't know what Lingyu was thinking. After doing this, he turned around and asked, "Are you alright?" ”

Lingyu moved his hands and feet, and found that the pain was already very slight, and it did not affect his movements, but the dantian was empty, and the meridians were also quite damaged. She grabbed the sword beside her and sat down on the spot.

"Are we safe? What about the other two? She asked.

"I don't know." Xu Zheng replied while checking Danding, "When I woke up, I didn't see them. ”

Lingyu frowned, and then asked, "Where are we?" What's going on? ”

"Do you think I'll know?"

"......" is really an unpleasant guy, Lingyu pouted and stood up.

I don't know how long no one has been coming to this place, and it has accumulated a thick layer of dust. She performed a dust purification technique to wipe all the dust off the stone table.

I don't know how many years have passed, the ink has dried up, and the brush has withered, but the paperweight, inkstone and other things are neat and new, faintly shiny, and they don't look ordinary.

Facing the stone bench, there was a copy of "Overseas Strange Flowers", Lingyu carefully picked it up, flipped through it, and put it aside. There is a thick stack of paper underneath the book, densely filled with words, some of which are also drawn, which looks like a stamping technique.

After flipping through it for a while, Lingyu pressed the book back. It's all alchemy, and she is confused.

"Could this be the place where the Medicine King's predecessor made alchemy?" She looked at the dense collection of books on the shelves and muttered to herself.

"Eighty percent of the time." Xu Zheng actually answered her.

Lingyu thought about it carefully and felt that this thing was very strange: "When you woke up, were we here?" ”

Xu Zheng casually said "um".

"Before we came here, we entered the Ten Thousand Swords Heart Refining Array, right?"

Xu Zheng didn't answer, probably thinking it was unnecessary.

Lingyu didn't expect him to answer, and continued: "Ten thousand swords were fired together, we were almost shot into a honeycomb, and then, I threw out the sword sealing box, and after that, the aftermath was too big, and it threw us out......"

After speaking, she looked at Xu Zheng: "What about the sealed sword box?" ”

Xu Zheng shook his hand casually, and the sealing sword box was thrown over.

Lingyu took it and let out a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not lost, a high-grade magic weapon, it is expensive!

Thinking like this, she squinted at Xu Zheng: "I said Xu Gongzi, if I didn't ask just now, wouldn't you just know?" ”

Xu Zheng glanced at her and said coldly, "Do you think I'm so tasteless?" ”

Lingyu spread her hands and didn't answer. Well, she has a villainous heart, how can Xu Gongzi be as small as her? I really didn't want to give it, so I wouldn't have traded it in the first place.

"It's strange, how did we get thrown here? Could it be that the wooden houses and waterfalls we see are fake? ”

Xu Zheng didn't answer, and he couldn't answer. He had thought about these questions for a long time, but unfortunately he couldn't think of a reason.

couldn't get an answer, so he had to put it aside first, and Lingyu flipped through the sealed sword box in his hand: "...... Why do you know that the sword sealing box can hold the sword qi of the Ten Thousand Swords Refining Heart Array? Hey, so much sword qi can be put in, isn't it very powerful to seal the sword box? For sword cultivation, wouldn't it be good to throw it out directly? ”

"You're thinking too much!" Seeing her excited appearance, Xu Zheng said coldly, "The reason why the sealed sword box can contain the sword qi of the Ten Thousand Swords Refining Heart Array is because no one manipulates those sword qi, and they want to use it to fight the enemy and collect the sword qi of others." Let's talk about it after you get married! ”

Lingyu was splashed with a basin of cold water, and her excitement subsided slightly. After a little thought, you can understand what the truth is. She only has a foundation and can't use the sword sealing box, so the current sword sealing box is equivalent to an ownerless state, and can only contain the ownerless sword qi. Not. With this thing, wouldn't she become a sword cultivator nemesis after Yudan?

Thinking like this, Lingyu looked at Xu Zheng's gaze becoming more and more weird, what was this Xu Gongzi thinking? As a sword cultivator himself, how could he give such a thing to others? Is there something hidden in this......

"Since it's okay, it's better to think about how to get out." Xu Zheng had already finished reading the alchemy furnace and walked towards her, "There must be a zài prohibition here, I don't know how to open it." ”

Lingyu nodded: "It's a pity that I don't know anything about the forbidden formation. Xu Gongzi, what about you? ”

"I know I need to ask you?"

Lingyu was silent for a few breaths, and finally couldn't help it, and looked at Xu Zheng with her chest crossed: "I said Xu Gongzi, answering other people's questions head-on will not drop a piece of meat." Is it so hard to give a good look? It's not a rhetorical question, or it's disdainful to answer, it's awkward, you know? ”

Xu Zheng's face suddenly turned ugly, and he stared at her without speaking.

"What? Not convinced? You think I love to talk about you? If I hadn't had to face you now. I'm too lazy to say it! ”

After a while, Xu Zheng retracted his gaze: "Say me?" How good is your attitude? Don't think I don't know, when you called Xu Gongzi. He was laughing at me in his heart. I don't have a correct attitude, and I say that others are a set of things! ”

"Heh......" Lingyu smiled angrily, "No one has ever said that I have a bad attitude, why don't you reflect on yourself, why do you have a bad attitude towards you?" ”

Xu Zheng replied very smoothly: "I never embarrass myself, and when I am bitten, I have to think about whether my meat is too delicious!" ”

"......" Lingyu had many words tumbling in her throat, and she almost couldn't control it, but fortunately, she still had her senses and reluctantly swallowed it, they weren't shrews scolding the street.

She tried to say in a calm tone: "Young Master Xu, the teenage boy Lang is awkward, and he can still be said to be cute, are you...... Don't you feel too old? ”

Xu Zheng's face was so gloomy that he was about to flash and thunder, and just when Lingyu thought he would turn his face, he snorted and turned his head: "I don't care about women!" ”

Lingyu really smiled now: "Okay, I was wrong, in fact, you are a true young man in your heart." ”

Xu Zheng suddenly turned back and glared at her.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Lingyu put on a serious and stern appearance, ignoring his anger, "You and I don't know the art of prohibition, how can we get out?" ”

The two of them continued to stare at each other, unable to answer.

Lingyu slapped his forehead: "Next time you hunt for treasure, you must bring a formation mage or something, a group of sword cultivators really have no future." ”

“……”

Having said that, the two of them took a serious look at the cave.

"Nothing." After touching everything around and finding nothing, Lingyu gave up.

"No, there's something." Xu Zheng stood on the stone table, looking through the stack of papers. The paper is slightly yellowed, but it is very well preserved, and the ink on it is clear.

Lingyu approached: "These are all alchemy, can you understand?" ”

"The alchemists don't understand, but that's not the only thing here." Xu Zheng pointed to the paper he had placed on the table after reading it.

Lingyu picked it up suspiciously.

On the top of the paper, neat small letters were written.

Before I knew it, it had been three years since I left the sect, and I finally found the seven-leaf phoenix flower in the East China Sea. This flower grows under harsh conditions, and as soon as it moves out of the East China Sea, it will wither, so I thought about it and simply built Beppu on top of the East China Sea.

…………

Xingduanjian's heart is broken, his dantian is broken, and his cultivation is lost, no different from a wasted person, if it weren't for my medicine to forcibly save his life, I'm afraid that he would have already died. These days, he is occasionally sober, but he does not move. I know that his heart is like ashes, and if it weren't for me, I'm afraid he would have broken himself. A sword cultivator who has lost his sword heart, and without cultivation, he can't even pick up a sword, what kind of sword cultivation is it? Especially for people who are as talented as Xingduan and should be born to cultivate swords......

Xingduan, Xingduan, even if I exhaust my efforts and gamble on the name of the Medicine King, I will repair the sword heart for you and restore your cultivation! (To be continued.) )

PS: Let's give a notice in advance, it's been a few days since I went to court, and I won't be able to keep updating every day for the next week, so please understand.
