Seeing a glimmer of light appear in front of her, and the road in front of her gradually became wider, Qi Niang couldn't help but be surprised, she couldn't help but speed up her pace, and smiled at Jiang Qihan: "Pavilion Master Jiang, we may be about to get to the exit!" ”

Qi Niang broke away from Jiang Qihan's hand as she spoke, and strode forward. However, when they walked to the light source, they realized that it was nothing more than sunlight shining overhead, and there were still bare stone walls around them, and they eventually walked into another hole.

"This hole seems to be man-made." Jiang Qihan saw that the ground was flat, and the stone wall next to him was also very smooth, so he couldn't help but guess.

Then he circled around, touched a stone slab with his hand, studied it carefully, and said: "This stone door leads to the other side, but unfortunately, the switch is at the other end, and the sound of collapse we heard just now should be the sound of this door falling." Gao Li seems to want to trap us here. ”

"Isn't there any other way to open it?"

Jiang Qihan shook his head regretfully, "It seems that I am going to disappoint Meng Meng." ”

"It's me who has caused the Jiang Pavilion Master, and the Jiang Pavilion Master obviously doesn't have to fall in with me." Qi Niang couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Qihan smiled indifferently, "If I don't hold you, wouldn't Meng Meng be left alone?" Two people can also have one more person to figure out a way. Well, Meng Meng doesn't have to feel guilty, I'm glad that it was me and Meng Meng who fell. In fact, I've already figured out how to do it. ”

"What's the solution?" Qi Niang's eyes lit up.

"Since you can see the sun here, if something can light a fire, people outside will be able to see the smoke, but I don't know if they are out, can they see our signal?"

"I know stone can start a fire, but unfortunately there's no wood here." Qi Niang showed a hint of distress.

I saw Jiang Qihan pointing directly above Qi Niang's back, and said: "There is a vine above the stone wall, and it should be able to be taken down with Meng Meng's swordsmanship, but it is really not enough for my sown shirt to be used." However, they should still be looking for us in the church, and we will have a better chance of lighting a fire when it gets dark. As for whether we will starve to death without being found by them......" Jiang Qihan suddenly winked mischievously at Qi Niang, and said with a smile: "The fat and big lizard at the foot of Meng Meng may be able to fill his stomach a little." ”

Qi Niang looked at her feet in surprise, only to see a lizard stop at her feet, as if she knew that she was about to be in danger, she ran away, and as soon as Qi Niang drew her sword, she pierced the lizard through her intestines and inserted it into the ground.

"Meng Meng is very skilled, if there are a few more, we don't have to worry about starvation." Jiang Qihan joked.

Qi Niang snorted out laughing and said, "Pavilion Master Jiang is really not afraid of danger, we are all trapped here, and we are still so unflustered. ”

"Panic doesn't help, it's better to be normal, and I don't think it's a bad thing to be trapped with Mingming, maybe it's more dangerous for me to be out there where there are enemies, what do you say?"

Qi Niang nodded, agreeing with him, and then she looked back at the vines above her head, the vines hung about four people under the entrance of the cave, and the entrance of the cave was just enough for one person to enter and exit, and she didn't know where the top of the cave led.

Jiang Qihan guessed her thoughts and said, "Should Meng Meng want to go up?" ”

"Well, if you can get out of the hole, it's not a bad idea."

Jiang Qihan shook his head, "I just checked it visually, the entrance of the cave is too high, the stone wall is too smooth, and it is difficult to go up with light skills." And my internal strength has been lost, and I am afraid it will be difficult to perform light skills again. ”

"I'll give it a try." After speaking, Qi Niang found the right position and rose from the ground. As soon as her toes touched the wall, she slid down some distance, and saw a piece of rubble fall with a clatter, and she could not touch a single leaf of the vine. After several tosses and turns, Qi Niang finally chose to give up.

Qi Niang suddenly felt a trace of frustration and sat on the ground helplessly.

"Okay, don't bother with it, the more you consume, the faster you will get hungry, so let's save some energy." After that, Jiang Qihan sat down beside Qi Niang.

Qi Niang stared sideways at Jiang Qihan's injured arm, and said worriedly: "Pavilion Master Jiang, your arm is still bleeding. ”

Jiang Qihan smiled comfortingly at her, "Don't get in the way, don't worry about me." ”

But how can you not worry? Jiang Qihan's injuries were all because of saving her. And Qi Niang couldn't do anything about it. She always thought she was strong enough, but she couldn't protect a helpless person, and even let this person protect her in turn.

Qi Niang stared at the ground in front of her silently, falling into unparalleled self-blame.

Jiang Qihan's voice sounded softly in the cave: "When Fu Xin first entered the Hanjiang Pavilion, I asked him how a weak scholar could think of learning such a domineering sword technique, and he told me that it was to be able to protect the person he wanted to protect one day, and I never understood his thoughts. Life is already very fragile, and self-preservation is enough, so why still want to protect others. It wasn't until I experienced some of the most tragic things in my life that I realized that if a person is not strong enough, what he holds dear will be taken away by others. Later, I also met someone I wanted to cherish, hating myself for not being able to give her protection, I watched her live in dire straits, repeatedly in danger, but I couldn't stop her and take care of her, which made me feel very incompetent. However, I was very happy that I had saved her with the medical skills I had learned all my life, and at least I didn't have to worry about being worthless in front of her anymore. So, even though I'm hurt, I feel like that's what I'm worth. Don't be unhappy about this little thing. ”

Qi Niang looked at Jiang Qihan in a daze, but saw Jiang Qihan looking at her with a gentle face. In addition to being moved, there was more of a subtle feeling that gradually grew like a vine in her heart.

The two of them sat in the cave, seeing that the sky was gradually getting darker, and Qi Niang planned to try again. If you get that vine down, you'll never have a chance to go up again. So she drew several deep pits in the stone wall with her sword, and flew up again with great effort, and this time she finally reached the branches of the vines. She was overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed the vine and climbed up.

"Be careful." Jiang Qihan reminded below.

Caught a dead tree vine, the tree vine actually slipped down, Jiang Qihan was startled, and was about to reach out to catch Qi Niang, but saw that the tree vine slipped halfway and stopped in the middle of the stone wall, Qi Niang suddenly jumped to the ground in fright, and then drew his sword and waved, a small snake was split in half and fell on the stone wall.

Qi Niang knelt on one knee on the ground, looked down at her wrist, and there was a deep tooth mark, which was bitten by the little snake when she was climbing the tree vine.

"You've been bitten!" Jiang Qihan's eyes lit up, glanced at the snake, and then couldn't help but grab Qi Niang's hand and put her wrist to her mouth.

A tingling pain accompanied by a tingling sensation spread along her arm to all parts of her body, Qi Niang's body stiffened suddenly, Jiang Qihan's lips were warm and strong against the tooth marks on her wrist, but she felt that the lips seemed to be crossed on her heart flap.

Jiang Qihan didn't notice Qi Niang's surprise and shock, but quickly sucked out the venom from her hand and spit it on the ground. Three times in a row, it took her snake venom to clean up.

Jiang Qihan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's me who is not good, I actually let Meng Meng be bitten by a poisonous snake, and I will never do it again next time." After speaking, he looked up at Qi Niang and was about to ask her if she was okay, but saw Qi Niang staring at him incredulously.

"What's wrong?"

Qi Niang came back to her senses at this time, stared at her wrist and muttered, "My hand, I feel it......"

Jiang Qihan looked puzzled.

Qi Niang suddenly laughed, "Don't hide it from Pavilion Master Jiang, when I was a child, I had already lost all the sensation in my hands because of some things, but there was a faint tingling sensation just now, and I don't know if it was a precursor to recovery." ”

"No senses?" Jiang Qihan was a little stunned.

"I'm sorry, I've been hiding it from Pavilion Master Jiang and made Pavilion Master Jiang worry about my hand before."

Jiang Qihan shook his head, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he felt incredible, "How long has Meng Meng's hands been unconscious?" ”

Qi Niang estimated and replied, "It's been about ten years." ”

Jiang Qihan's brows furrowed even tighter, "Ten years, your hands don't feel pain, and you can't feel warmth and cold." ”

"It's nothing to me, I'm used to it, and it doesn't have any impact on my life." Qi Niang said indifferently.

Jiang Qihan's eyes were suddenly full of deep distress, how did the unconscious hands hold the sword, how did they grasp the strength, and they didn't even know if it hurt. No wonder Qi Niang's hand was so seriously injured before, but she never cried out in pain. He held Qi Niang's hand trembling slightly, and solemnly promised: "Meng Meng, when I go out, I will find a way to cure your hand." ”

A simple word, but Qi Niang felt that he would definitely do it.

Qi Niang wanted to adjust the suddenly heavy atmosphere, and said with a relaxed smile: "Pavilion Master Jiang, you see that I not only pulled down the vines on it, but also solved our hidden dangers. ”

Jiang Qihan sighed secretly, "This hidden danger has been solved, but it is at the cost of being bitten by a poisonous snake, which is really not cost-effective." Thankfully, the venom has been cleared. This time I'll go up first, and you'll be waiting for me below. ”

"Is it okay for Pavilion Master Jiang?"

"At such a low altitude, I can still go up." As he spoke, Jiang Qihan had already lifted his toes off the ground and firmly grasped the tree vine.

When they climbed out of the hole, they found that they were at the top of the Tianxuan Sect, and when they looked up, they could see the vast desert and water source. The night sky is vast and dotted with stars, like a huge curtain dotted with starlight. In front of him is a high steep slope, behind which is a black stone wall and an old tree.

"It seems that there is no way to go down, we can only look at the starry sky here." Jiang Qihan saw that Qi Niang was listless, and hurriedly quipped.

Qi Niang simply sat down, leaned against the stone wall behind her, and said, "It's okay, you can't see such a beautiful scenery below." ”

Jiang Qihan also sat down, smiled slightly, and seemed to be in a good mood, "The last time I watched the night sky with Meng Meng was in Anle Village, but now I am in this vast desert, and I have a different taste." ”

"It's just that I don't know if they escaped safely, isn't Pavilion Master Jiang worried about them at all?"

Jiang Qihan said quietly: "They all have strong martial arts, instead of thinking nonsense, it is better to worry about our current situation." But then again, Meng Meng never suspected that someone deliberately set up a situation when he came to Tianxuan Sect? ”

Qi Niang looked at Jiang Qihan in surprise, seeing Jiang Qihan looking ahead, her pupils were as if rendered by the night, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but she didn't feel any warmth.
