Sora Xuanzi smiled and took a few steps back with the lantern. Although the light of the lantern could only shine under his feet in the cave, he could still vaguely see Yi Xingchen's figure, and he guarded the only passage, so he didn't worry about what Yi Xingchen was doing.

Tang Xiaoqi cried and said, "Brother Hexagram, what do you want to tell me?" ”

Yi Xingchen took off the belt on his body, took off his shirt again, and wore a thin upper body. Turning around and squatting down slightly, he said to Tang Xiaoqi: "Come, I'm carrying you on my back, I want to die, let's die together, and we won't be separated if we die." ”

"Hmm!"

Tang Xiaoqi lay on her back with all her body weak, this was the first time she really hugged a man, although it was a naked back, such an intimate contact made Tang Xiaoqi's heart pound, and thinking that she was about to die, she was very sad in her heart, hugged Yi Xingchen tightly, and cried with a whimper.

Yi Xingchen tied Tang Xiaoqi tightly to himself with a belt, and then tore the shirt in half and wrapped his hands tightly.

Yi Xingchen turned around and said to Tang Xiaoqi, "Hold me tight and close your eyes." Rest assured, I'm here, and everything is fine! Hey hey"

Tang Xiaoqi knew that death was coming, so she cried out loud, hugged Yi Xingchen tighter, put her entire petite body on his back, and closed her eyes tightly.

Yi Xingchen identified the direction, facing the southeast direction, took a deep breath, prayed silently in his heart, and then jumped forward and jumped down.

In mid-air, Yi Xingchen folded his hands forward. Grab a chain and immediately hold it tightly with both hands. But he fell too hard, sliding them down some distance. That's when it stopped.

He held the chain in both hands and clung to it. The huge impact of the fall made it swing violently, and it slammed into the cave wall, causing him to have gold stars in his eyes.

This collision happened to hit a loose boulder, which fell off the wall of the cave. Fell into the cave.

After a few moments, a dull echo was heard below.

Above, Kongxuanzi saw Yi Xingchen and they jumped down. I heard a dull voice again, and I couldn't help but show a smug smile on the corner of my mouth, and I pressed the mechanism, and the entire huge mountain wall fell down. Seal the hole. Then he took the lantern and walked away.

Yi Xingchen hung in the air in the vertical downward cave, holding the iron chain deadly, and there was a kind of ecstasy in his heart that he had come back from the dead.

In fact, he didn't know that there would be a life-saving chain in the passage where the cave fell, which was estimated from the hexagram.

The hexagram he counted was a small hexagram, and it was in the fifth. One of the sentences reads: "Gongyi, take the other in the hole." Translated, it means, "Prince." Shoot birds with arrows tied to a rope and earn money from the cave. Yi Xingchen changed his hexagram twice, but he was disrupted by celestial phenomena and unexpected events. When he failed to change the hexagram and could not change the consequences of the great murderer, he thought of this sentence in this epigram. Therefore, when he decided to throw himself into his own death, he hoped that there would really be a rope in the cave as the proverb said, to help them save the day.

When he reached the mouth of the cave. I was still thinking about the hexagram in my head. It suddenly occurred to him that the Xunmu hexagram had the meaning of a rope. And it represents the southeast in the gossip. Earlier, when Xuankong Xuanzi carried the lantern to the edge of the cave, he had already found that the hole was very large, and if there was no clear direction, he was afraid that he would not be able to find the rope for a while. And if your falling speed is too fast, and you don't have time to grab the rope before the initial speed increases, even if you find the rope behind, you are afraid that you will not be able to grasp it with both hands, or that the huge falling force will break your hands after grabbing it.

Therefore, he decided to take a risk and look to the southeast. Sure enough, when he jumped, he put his hands together and grabbed the rope. The distance he fell was not far, and the force of the fall was not great, and although his hands were in severe pain, they were not broken.

He grabbed the rope and slid down some distance, but luckily he had covered his hands with his clothes beforehand, and the friction had not hurt his skin.

Yi Xingchen's heart was full of ecstasy, and he really put it to death and came back to life! The viciousness is worse than the fiercer, but it becomes a good omen. He put himself to death and then lived, grabbed this life-saving chain, and although he didn't know if he could escape the ascension to heaven later, at least for the time being, he avoided the tragic consequences of falling to pieces.

Tang Xiaoqi hugged Yi Xingchen tightly and closed his eyes tightly, Yi Xingchen grabbed the iron cable and swung violently under the impact, Tang Xiaoqi's back of the head hit the wall of the cave, and he fainted suddenly.

Therefore, after Yi Xingchen stabilized his figure, he didn't make any sound, and Tang Xiaoqi fainted, of course, there was no sound, so the empty Xuanzi above didn't realize that they were actually hanging in the air and didn't fall to their deaths, so they closed the door of the cave and left.

The iron cable in the cave was left when the door mechanism of the boulder cave on the top of the corpse cave was built, because the Taoist priest of Yunshan Pass killed all the craftsmen and threw them into the cave in order to keep the secret. At that time, a few craftsmen had already guessed that they would kill people, but they were so strong in martial arts that they couldn't escape, and they couldn't resist, so they secretly left this iron rope as a life-saving straw, hoping that if they were lucky enough to survive, they could climb out of the cave along the iron cable. Unexpectedly, none of the craftsmen could escape the poisonous hands of the Taoist priest, and the corpses were thrown into the cave after all of them were killed, so the craftsmen who built the escape iron cable were not able to escape for their lives, but left them to Yi Xingchen and them.

Kong Xuanzi and other Taoist priests could not imagine that the craftsman would leave such a hand, the cave was pitch black, the five fingers could not be seen, and the place where the iron cable was close to the entrance of the cave was hidden in the mountain wall, so it could not be seen from the mouth of the cave at all. After leaving the mouth of the cave for a certain distance, he broke away from the mountain wall and hung in the air, just when the tragic Xingchen jumped down, he caught it, which is really the will of heaven in the dark.

Yi Xingchen clutched the chain tightly with both hands, wrapped his feet around it, listened to the movement above, and when he heard the mountain wall close, he breathed a sigh of relief. After waiting for a while, he was sure that the empty Xuanzi above had left, but Tang Xiaoqi behind him did not react, he screamed nervously and shouted a few times, but he did not hear Tang Xiaoqi's answer.

Yi Xingchen was a little nervous, he estimated that Tang Xiaoqi should have hit his head with the swing just now and fainted. Fortunately, she was tied to herself with a belt beforehand, so that she would not slip and fall.

But Yi Xingchen was thin and weak, carrying a person on his back, hanging on the chain, he felt that his physical strength was soon a little exhausted, and he had to ask Tang Xiaoqi to help him, otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on for too long, and he would still fall.

But he didn't know how to wake up Tang Xiaoqi, in a hurry, he lowered his head, bit Tang Xiaoqi's arm holding his neck, and bit hard.

The severe pain finally woke Tang Xiaoqi up.

Yi Xingchen heard Tang Xiaoqi wake up with a sigh, and the painful moan from his mouth couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "How is it?" Are you okay? ”

Tang Xiaoqi hugged Yi Xingchen with one hand, touched the back of her head with the other, and found that there was a big swollen bump, which hurt her to tears, and suddenly remembered that she was not carried by Yi Xingchen to jump into the cave? Surprised, he hurriedly said: "We ......, didn't we die?" ”

"We're fine, I grabbed a chain in mid-air, I don't have enough strength, I can't hold it anymore, can you help me quickly?"

Tang Xiaoqi knew that the two of them had escaped death, and couldn't help but be ecstatic. laughed, and then realized that he was in danger and couldn't alarm those damn Taoist priests, so he quickly covered his mouth again and whispered, "Then what now?" ”

"Help me, I can't hold it anymore."

Tang Xiaoqi hurriedly reached out and touched it, and sure enough, he touched an iron chain. Reach out and grab it. But after she was clicked on the waist acupoint by Kong Xuanzi, her whole body couldn't use her strength, so she didn't have much strength, but in the end she helped Yi Xingchen.

Yi Xingchen took a breath and said, "Let's climb up together to see if we can climb out of the hole." ”

So the two of them slowly climbed up together. Fortunately, both of them are relatively light, although both of them are not strong, but the iron chain is a ring and a ring, and it is easier to hold it with your hand to make it stronger, and it is easier to grasp it, so as not to slide down. In addition, their position was not far from the entrance of the cave, and it took a lot of effort to finally climb to the end of the iron cable.

Yi Xingchen asked Tang Xiaoqi to grab the rope and control it, and then stretched out a hand to touch everywhere, but all the places that his hand touched were hard stone walls, without any gaps or passages.

The two of them worked hard for a long time, but they didn't find anything, they couldn't find any exit, they felt that their physical strength was almost gone, and they had to slide down and think of other ways.

So, after Yi Xingchen told Tang Xiaoqi, he asked her to let go of her hand, his own hands were wrapped in clothes, so he wouldn't hurt his hands, and he slid down slowly, which was more effortless.

After slipping down for a while, Yi Xingchen and Tang Xiaoqi both smelled a huge stench, which became more and more intense, and it was almost breathless.

Yi Xingchen knew that it was the smell of corpses in the cave. Tang Xiaoqi hurriedly tore off two pieces of fabric from his hands and blocked himself and Tang Xiaoqi's noses, so that he could barely block a little smell, but it was still disgusting, and he couldn't breathe.

In a drowsiness, Yi Xingchen and the two of them slipped down for a distance. Eventually, his feet stepped on a pile of soft things.

He had already estimated that there must have been piles of bones, and they must have stepped on them.

He had been worried about stepping on a pile of rotting bones, but fortunately, there were twenty or thirty bones of the old men he had killed a few days ago, and they had basically covered the rotting bones underneath, so they were actually stepping on the slick corpses. It's relatively easy to do.

Yi Xingchen was not in a hurry to let go of his hand, and asked Tang Xiaoqi: "Do you have a fire sickle with you?" ”

Tang Xiaoqi doesn't cook at home and can't walk the rivers and lakes. So he didn't have a heavy fire sickle on his body, so he shook his head, and then thought that Yi Xingchen couldn't see it at all in this dark hole, and quickly said, "I didn't bring it, did you bring it?" (To be continued)
