Chapter 112: Take off your pants

Yi Xingchen's head turned quickly, and he thought carefully about every hexagram of Lei Shan and the biography of the interpretation of the Book of Changes, but he still didn't have any ideas.

His thoughts involuntarily returned to the sentence in the scripture of this hexagram, which was the sentence he thought of just now: "The sound of the bird's legacy is not suitable for going up, it is suitable for going down, and it is good luck." He pondered, if there is no passage on the ground, will there be a passage in between?

That's right, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, the "down" here is not necessarily the ground, if as far as the entire cave is concerned, from the top to the bottom of the passage more than 100 zhang deep, all the way to the bottom of the corpse cave, it should be looked at as a whole, just like a long-necked flask, for the flask, of course, the ground is considered to be down, but for the entire long-necked flask, the middle and below should be counted, isn't the passage not on the ground, but in the lower part of the entire long-necked flask?

At the thought of this, he suddenly felt a rush of enthusiasm, and hope that might exist in the lower part of the cave.

Thinking of this, Yi Xingchen smiled happily.

Tang Xiaoqi laughed very happily when she heard him, as if she had found a way out of trouble, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, holding his arm, looking up at his face, and having a trilling voice in his voice: "Brother Hexagram, you have thought of a way to get out of trouble, haven't you?" Tell me, what to do? ”

Yi Xingchen said: "I can't say that I thought of a way, I should say that I thought of how to find a way to get out of trouble, I calculated a hexagram, and the words in it prompted Yixia, Daji, so, just now I looked around the ground at the bottom of the cave." But I didn't find the passage, and I ignored that the whole cave is a whole, and should be looked for from the whole cave including the middle of the passage. Perhaps somewhere in the passage, somewhere below the middle of the cave that falls vertically downward, we may be able to find our way out. ”

Tang Xiaoqi said, "Okay, let's go quickly." ”

Tang Xiaoqi stood up and wanted to pull Yi Xingchen up, but he didn't. If only usually. She lifted it lightly, and Yi Xingchen would be pulled up. Now, after being clicked on the acupoint, her whole body can't help but be discouraged.

Yi Xingchen smiled and said, "You're still not motivated?" You'll have to rest for a while until your acupuncture points are unlocked. I regain my strength, and then you climb up to look for it, I don't have the strength to climb up, everything depends on you. ”

Tang Xiaoqi said: "No problem, but that old point is full of energy, I estimate that it will take a long time to unravel it, we have to wait." ”

"There's no way, I'll have to wait, and you'll just take a break. Recharge your batteries. It's all about success or failure. ”

So Tang Xiaoqi sat down and hugged his arm again, and now that there was hope, he felt much better. Even the choking stench of corpses is not so suffocating.

The two sat for a while, and Tang Xiaoqi couldn't help but hold Yi Xingchen's arm and said, "I'm hungry." ”

Yi Xingchen smiled bitterly and said, "There is nothing here except the corpse, is it possible, I will go and cut a piece of meat on the corpse for you to eat?" ”

"Nasty!" Tang Xiaoqi tapped lightly on Yi Xingchen's shoulder. I remembered that there were hundreds of corpses next to me, many of which had turned into white bones. Feeling scared again, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, hugged Yi Xingchen's arm tighter, and wanted to hide in his arms, but Yi Xingchen didn't understand the amorous feelings, just sat there honestly and didn't hug her, Tang Xiaoqi still couldn't afford to be cheeky and get into his arms.

After a moment, Tang Xiaoqi suddenly thought of something and said, "Why did I forget Songhua Candy, you didn't eat it last time I gave it to you, give it to me, and I just ate a piece." Tang Xiaoqi said, reached into his arms, took out a small bag of pine candy, took a piece and handed it to Yi Xingchen.

Yi Xingchen shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, and I don't like sugar very much, you can eat it!" ”

"That's not good, this is not for you to eat and play, this is to eat, we don't know if we can get out of trouble later, come, the two of us will eat a piece of cushion for the stomach first, and we can't eat more, lest we can't find the passage later, but we won't have to eat."

Tang Xiaoqi stuffed a piece of sugar into Yi Xingchen's mouth, Yi Xingchen chewed it, and Tang Xiaoqi also ate a piece, perhaps because he was hungry, and ate it very sweetly.

It's just that this piece of candy was eaten quickly, and Tang Xiaoqi wanted to eat another piece of candy, but in the end she held back and put a small packet of candy back in her arms.

After Tang Xiaoqi ate the piece of candy, he felt that his body seemed to have regained some strength, so he sat cross-legged and said to Xingchen: "I will breathe, so that the recovery speed will be faster, you can help me protect the Dharma." ”

I just said this sentence and felt a little funny, I used to say this when I practiced martial arts with my master, and I was used to it, but now, in this closed cave, I still find a way to find a place to go out, not to mention that others can come in, who will come to hurt her? How can you need others to support the Fa? Besides, Yi Xingchen is just a weak young man, let him help him protect the Fa, does he have that ability?

However, Yi Xingchen straightened his chest, patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, with me, everything is fine." ”

Tang Xiaoqi burst out laughing, but when he said this, he remembered that if it wasn't for Yi Xingchen this time, they would have fallen to their deaths, so although Yi Xingchen had no martial arts, he was even more powerful than those who had martial arts. I feel warm in my heart, as if I have taken a reassuring pill, and as if I am leaning against a big tree, I feel very down-to-earth.

Tang Xiaoqi meditated for more than an hour. Suddenly, his body shook, and he shouted happily: "It's done, my acupoint has been opened, ha, I have recovered my strength again." ”

In the dark, Yi Xingchen couldn't see her happy smiling face, but he heard infinite joy from his voice, and couldn't help but say happily: "Okay, let's start looking for the passage immediately, I hope we can find the exit this time." ”

Tang Xiaoqi smiled and said, "I will definitely be able to find an exit, Brother Gua'er is the most capable." ”

Yi Xingchen didn't dare to have big hopes for himself, mainly because his previous hexagrams were all disrupted by accidents, which showed that this hexagram was really fierce, and he didn't know if he would encounter such a thing this time in his prediction.

Yi Xingchen said, "Quickly take out the flint and light the strips of cloth." ”

As soon as he said this, he remembered that the clothes on the little Taoist priest and the strips of cloth that he had wrapped around his hands had all been used to light the fire, and they had all been used up when he was looking for the exit of the cave just now. And the corpses in the cave are all bare, and there are no clothes, and the only clothes that can be burned now are his own pair of pants and Tang Xiaoqi's clothes!

And he only wore a pair of pants, and in ancient times, he had no underwear, and he was directly put on his trousers, so if he wanted to take off these trousers and light the fire, then he would be naked, he didn't care about himself, he was afraid that Tang Xiaoqi would not do it.

So when Tang Xiaoqi was about to light the flint, Yi Xingchen hurriedly pulled her and said: "The clothes on my upper body have been burned by ignition, I have no more clothes to burn, if I want to burn yours, okay?" ”

"No way!" Tang Xiaoqi was ashamed and said angrily, "Of course not! I'm going to take off my clothes, won't that give you a free advantage? ”

Yi Xingchen had a big head and smiled bitterly: "Grandma, the two of us are looking for a way now, and if we can't find a way out, the two of us will starve to death here, do you want to die here, or do you want to leak out of the spring?" ”

"Not anyway!" She blushed and lost her temper.

Yi Xingchen said: "Okay, then I'll just take this pair of pants anyway, if you want, then I'll take off my pants to burn, I'll start to take them off." ”

"No, you can't take it off!" Tang Xiaoqi suddenly blushed at the thought of facing a naked man.

Yi Xingchen said: "You refuse to take it off, and you won't let me take off my pants." There is nothing to burn, and if there is no torch, where can we find an exit? Auntie and grandmother. ”

"Touch it with your hands."

"Okay, if you have this ability, then, you can go up and touch it, I'm waiting here, I can't climb anyway."

Tang Xiaoqi gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go if I go, who let you go?" Anyway, I have to go, I don't need torches, I can find it, you wait. ”

Tang Xiaoqi groped his way up the corpse mountain and grabbed the chain. Then she quickly climbed up the chain, and she would rather stay in the sky than step on a mass of corpses.

She reached out to both sides as she climbed, because the diameter of this vertical downward cave is relatively wide, so sometimes it takes the help of the shock of the iron chain to touch the cave wall.

She touched her surroundings with her heart and climbed up at the same time, until she reached the end of the chain, and could not go up again, but her heart sank to the bottom, because she had touched all the way just now, and there was still no passage in the whole cave. Not to mention being able to enter a hole the size of a human, even if it can get into a small hole for a mouse, I haven't found one.

And the whole process is very slow, it took nearly an hour, although Tang Xiaoqi's skills are good, but now he is exhausted, his back hurts, and he can barely grasp the chain, so he has to go down the chain.

Yi Xingchen was afraid of disturbing her attention, so he didn't say a word below, quietly listening to the movement above, and didn't wait for Tang Xiaoqi's exclamation and surprise cry, he knew that Tang Xiaoqi had found nothing.

When Tang Xiaoqi panted and groped his way back to Yi Xingchen, Yi Xingchen didn't ask him what the result was? Tang Xiaoqi didn't say it himself, and both of them were silent.

After a long time, Tang Xiaoqi finally waited for Ai Ai to speak, saying, "I took off my shirt and lit a torch, but you are not allowed to look at it!" ”

Yi Xingchen smiled: "No problem, I'll bury my head and cover my eyes with my hands, it's okay, right?" If you still feel uneasy, you can tear off a strip of cloth and blindfold me. ”

"There's no need to be blindfolded, I believe that your brother is a good man, and he won't bully me, and if you say you don't look at it, you won't look at it, but you really don't want to look at it."

Yi Xingchen said solemnly: "Okay, I won't look at it, now I turned my body around, turned my back to you, and then blindfolded my eyes, now you are relieved, right?" ”

"I'm going to rest for a while, I've been exhausted to death just now, and I'll have to rest for at least half an hour." (To be continued)
