Chapter 019: The Scabbard
Mu Shuning rested for a long time, and when the pain in his body completely dissipated, he sat up, disgusted by the embarrassment on his body now.
When he saw that Luo Zhu was still fainting, he made the fire hotter and ran out of the cave to find a place to bathe.
He was lucky that there was a clear stream not far from the cave. The school uniforms of the inner disciples of the Jingqiong Mountain Sect were white embroidered with light green patterns, and if a group of people lined up neatly to that station, it would be a row of fresh and tender green onions.
Now, Mu Shuning's school uniform is almost earthy yellow.
He came here wearing only such clothes, and had no choice but to take off his dirty clothes first, soak his body in the stream, wash his clothes and throw them on the stones beside him, and then wash the dirt off his body.
Although clothes can be dried with spiritual power, Mu Shuning is now in a state of extreme lack of spiritual power, and he doesn't want to waste the spiritual power used to save his life at a critical moment.
So, as a result, Mu Shuning was wet, put on wet clothes, and when he returned to the cave, he curled up in a ball, sat by the fire and roasted the fire, looking like he had been fished out of the water.
When the sky outside was completely dark, Luo Zhu woke up leisurely, and at a glance he saw Mu Shuning, who was like a water ghost next to him, he was startled, and his soul instantly returned to its place: "Qin Yuxing?" ”
Mu Shuning raised his head, his lips were frozen white: "What are you doing?" ”
Luo Zhu couldn't help but smile: "How do you wear wet clothes?" ”
Mu Shuning lowered his head and continued to roast the fire, ignoring him.
Luo Zhu felt that his body had recovered eighty percent, but he was still a little dizzy and weak when he just sat up, he probed his spiritual sense into his spatial ring, rummaged for a long time, turned out a dark purple shirt, and threw it at Mu Shuning: "Put it on, don't freeze it anymore." ”
Mu Shuning's hair was scattered, and the ends of his hair were still dripping, he hesitated for a while, thanked him and ran to the corner to change his clothes, and he was far away from Luo Zhu.
Luo Zhu couldn't cry or laugh: "It's all men, why are you avoiding me when you change your clothes?" ”
Mu Shuning replied: "It's you who is hiding." ”
Luo Zhu shrugged his shoulders and sat down by the fire to continue the fire.
Regarding Mu Shuning's feeding him Dahua Dan, he couldn't be angry, he knew that if there was no Mu Shuning, he would have failed to let Wu Poison admit the master, and if it caused a backlash, he would even put his life into it, compared to no life, the result of being in a coma for a few hours was really nothing.
Luo Zhu has always been heartless, but he also understands that Mu Shuning has really helped him a lot. Luo Zhu rubbed his temples and sighed lowly.
When Mu Shuning came back after changing his clothes, Luo Zhu raised his head: "That, I have a ...... Poof......"
Before Luo Zhu finished speaking, he was amused by Mu Shuning, Mu Shuning was thin and small, he was fifteen years old but a head shorter than him, his clothes were extremely ill-fitting on Mu Shuning's body, there was a sense of déjà vu of a child stealing adult clothes, and the trouser legs and cuffs were pulled several times, revealing a short section of wrists and ankles.
After these days of recuperation and cultivation, Mu Shuning no longer looked malnourished, and her exposed skin looked fair and delicate, even better than some women's.
Mu Shuning twisted his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" ”
Luo Zhu finally adjusted his mood, and he took out something from his arms: "This is a non-poisonous scabbard, I gave it to you." ”
Mu Shuning was puzzled: "Scabbard, what are you sending me for?" ”
In the cultivation realm, the sword is different from the sword, the scabbard only has one function, the sword is put into the sheath, preventing the sword from being exposed and hurting people, and it also has the effect of protecting the sword. And the scabbard is completely different, the scabbard is not used to hold knives. If a knife has a scabbard, then the scabbard will play a role in protecting the owner, and it will be several times smaller and easier to carry, which is equivalent to the owner's second life.
And it just so happens that it is a knife with a scabbard.
Luo Zhu handed the small scabbard to Mu Shuning: "My life is not so brittle, not to mention that you have helped me a lot, this is a thank you gift." ”
Mu Shuning looked at him.
"And I can sense the direction of this scabbard, if you are in danger in the future, I will know if you ask the scabbard for help, and if I am idle, I will rush to save you."
Mu Shuning didn't say a word, he pursed his lips, his thin lips became a line, his eyes were lowered, he silently took the scabbard, and waited until the scabbard felt Luo Zhu's order completely disappear and merged into Mu Shuning's body, then he raised his head and looked at Luo Zhu, and said solemnly and firmly: "Thank you." ”
Luo Zhu didn't take it seriously, and hooked Mu Shuning's neck: "Say thank you or not, who will follow whom." ”
As everyone knows, Luo Zhu's move has caused a lot of waves in Mu Shuning's heart. Mu Shuning saw that Luo Zhu's kindness to him was completely sincere.
Maybe it was this time that Luo Zhu's status in his heart was unmatched.
The two spent the night in this cave, and the next day, they turned to the peak and rushed to the mountain.
Because the piano was called the ghost abyss, they both felt that Fengjue Mountain must be an eerie place comparable to a mass grave, but standing at the foot of the mountain, they realized that they were mistaken.
The peaks are beautiful, the peaks are cloudy and mist, not high, but the aura is very sufficient.
Luo Zhu took a deep breath of fresh air: "This is the peak? ”
Mu Shuning nodded.
Luo Zhu smiled dryly: "It doesn't look like it matches the ghost yuan." ”
Mu Shuning said: "I think too." ”
The two of them just sighed, this road is dangerous, and they will not be confused by appearances.
There is a peak cave in the peak, and it is so big on the bright side, as if I am afraid that others will not pay attention.
Luo Zhu raised his chin towards the peak cave: "Go in and slip around?" ”
Mu Shuning was a little hesitant and didn't know how to deal with it.
"Why, don't you dare to go in?"
"The front is dangerous, do you really want to go in with me? Moreover, it was not worth it to die in order to help me get the piano. ”
Luo Zhu snorted: "If I'm afraid of death, can I team up with you?" Oh, don't think about it, go quickly, don't waste time. ”
Mu Shuning saw that Luo Zhu was indeed not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and the unknown emotions in his heart rose again. has experienced life and death together, which is probably the friendship of life and death.
The Peak Cave is not as gloomy as the tomb of the Ling Immortal, on the contrary, it is spacious and bright, and it is an excellent resting place.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Mu Shuning's nerves did not relax at all, but were very vigilant. If it weren't for the Ling Immortal Transformer's advance reminder that the path to the Ghost Abyss was extremely dangerous, they were really afraid that they would only be confused by the scene in front of them.
It's like boiling a frog in warm water, letting down the fortifications in a comfortable atmosphere, exposing weaknesses, and finally dying under the illusion of safety and comfort.
Suddenly, Luo Zhu stopped: "Wait a minute." ”
Mu Shuning looked at him suspiciously.
"Did you feel anything?"
After being reminded by Luo Zhu, Mu Shuning stopped and stared. Suddenly, all the sounds in the peak cave were still.
Under the peaceful sight of the cave, they faintly sensed that there was a dead air waiting for them in front of them.
Luo Zhu is a teenager, and Mu Shuning has to get this piano, so the two of them have a tacit understanding to open their legs at the same time and walk forward.
The Peak Absolute Cave was not as mysterious as the tomb of the Ling Immortal, but it was a little rough, but the few wisps of death in the air made them care very much.
Walking along the cave, I didn't go far, and suddenly a snow-white light flashed in front of me.
The two of them looked at each other and walked towards the place where the light was shining.
When they walked out of the cave, the sight in front of them completely shocked the two.
This is the interior of the mountain, the whole mountain has been hollowed out, and there is a pillar of light on the top of the mountain, which shines directly on a floating platform in the middle of the sky.
There was a piano in the middle of the floating platform, and Mu Shuning knew that the piano must be a ghost abyss.
Luo Zhu shouted: "My god ......"
The pontoons are connected by eight narrow hanging paths, which lead to the mountain wall and correspond to the eight cave entrances. And on the whole mountain wall, densely packed with dark holes, neatly arranged, horizontal and vertical, Mu Shuning roughly counted, there are hundreds. It looks weird and mysterious. And the place where Mu Shuning and them are should be the entrance to this mountain wall.
The most unbelievable thing is that Mu Shuning is only about three feet wide on the flat ground they are on, and after this three feet wide, the middle is actually suspended, Mu Shuning looked down with courage, and below is the boiling hot magma.
Just the two of them, if they leap directly from the sky to the top of the floating platform, it is completely impossible. If you want to force your way up, you will only end up with one result, burying yourself in the magma.
Luo Zhu struggled to look up, and somehow, a sense of worship spontaneously arose in his heart. If it was excavated artificially, then the wisdom of the ancestors in ancient times was enough to be admired by future generations. The interior of the whole peak is empty and vast, and the two of them are in it, very small, and once compared, these wonderful things inside seem quite magnificent and magnificent. And if this is a natural formation, then it has to be said that the power of nature is awe-inspiring.
Mu Shuning said: "It seems that there are only eight correct exits. If we want to get the piano, we can only try it one way at a time. ”
Luo Zhu said: "What's so difficult about this, it's just a matter of time before we mark along the way and find the right way." ”
Mu Shuning shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not so simple, it can make the Ling Immortal jealous, it's not simple here, and if you're not careful, I'm afraid you will fall into the magma." ”
"However, the road has to be walked, and so are the markings."
Luo Zhu smiled: "Just waiting for your words, then let's find a cave to go into?" ”
Mu Shuning looked at it, chose the cave on the left hand side nearby, and drew a simple crescent-shaped mark at the entrance of the cave.
The two didn't communicate much and walked straight in.
It was dark inside the cave, but as they approached, a dim light would automatically light up on the wall, about every fifty paces, so that even if there was a light, it was really dim and it was not easy to see.
The two of them were silent, and walked slowly forward, not far, and under a lamp, they saw a flight of stairs at the same time.
Luo Zhu said: "Let's go." ”
For the sake of prudence, Mu Shuning drew a crescent moon at the entrance of the stairs.
On the top of the stairs, there were a lot of dead skeleton corpses, Mu Shuning was quite calm, Luo Zhu was almost scared away when he stepped on a skull at the beginning: "How can this still be dead?" ”
Mu Shuning's heart directly mentioned his throat, and he was always on guard, for fear of any danger.
The two of them kept walking the stairs, the stairs were not high, and they were very wide, and if they only took one step at a time, the steps were too broken and annoying, and if they took two steps at a time, it would be too difficult, so the two of them walked quite uncomfortably just by taking the stairs.
Every other flight of stairs there would be a short landing, and the two would take a break on the platform each time.
The two of them didn't know how many times they rested, how many steps they walked, and finally on a platform, Luo Zhu shouted boredly: "When will this broken staircase be finished!" ”
Suddenly, Mu Shuning's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he grabbed Luo Zhu.
"Look at that."
Luo Zhu looked over and stiffened.
Under a light that is clearly extinguished, the crescent-shaped mark is very conspicuous.
