Chapter 652: Promise

Uncle Xiang's words made several young people who were lucky and wanted to see the living people as soon as possible, and their hearts suddenly cooled.

This river is really eerie and terrifying, because the yin qi is dense, ordinary people's bodies can't support it, and after staying for a long time, they already feel cold and shivering.

In particular, there are many forks in the criss-crossing rivers, and the light is really dim, and after staying in such a cramped environment for a long time, they feel more and more that the sun is like a year, and there is a kind of idea that they can't survive for a moment, and they want to escape immediately.

It's a pity that when everyone came in, although they didn't calculate how much time had passed, they also knew that they should have entered the Nine Dragons Cave.

Even if someone wants to exit at this time, the crossing river is like a tangled mess, and even if you turn around, you can't find an exit without a guide.

On this ship, Uncle Xiang was the only one who was familiar with the path of the Nine Dragon Caves, and at this time, none of the three young men dared to ask for a desire to turn back, for fear of provoking the anger of this one-eyed old man with a strange temper.

The crowd was silent for a moment, and after there was no one to support the paddle, the boat went along with the washed current, stumbling into the reef, making a 'clang' echo, and then through the twisting mountain wall, echoing far away, and it was terrifying to hear.

A young man only felt that when he heard the impact and echo of the ship, the blood vessels in his mind were beating violently, and after enduring it for a long time, he finally couldn't stand this strange silence and asked:

"Uncle Xiang, if no one supports this boat, will it be washed out of the Nine Dragon Caves?"

As soon as his voice fell, the hearts of the other young people moved.

After the curiosity passed, fear surged into their hearts, and everyone was tormented by this oppressive environment for the legendary Yulun Realm, and they had already retreated at this time.

It would be great if the boat could only be swept out of the Nine Dragons Cave by the current.

"Rush out?" The shadow sitting on the bow of the boat moved slightly, and 'hehe' sneered: "We have entered the Nine Dragons Cave, there are many bends here, and the water flows down from the inside of the mountain peak, and there is no regular circulation in the Nine Dragons Caves." ”

His hoarse voice is even more eerie in this narrow environment, and with the surrounding temperature, it gives people a feeling of not having any temperature at all:

"If there is no one to lead the way, if you want to leave here just by the speed of the current, if you are lucky, you can leave quickly, if you are unlucky, you will have to go around in it for ten days and half a month."

The temperature here is extremely low, and the yin qi is heavy, and after staying in it for a long time, people can't withstand the corrosion of yin qi, and they can't survive for several days.

If you are unlucky, you can't drift out automatically for ten days and half a month, and even if you bring enough supplies, you will die inside.

Uncle Xiang has the deepest understanding of the Nine Dragon Caves, and his words are authoritative, and when several young people heard this, they couldn't help but despair and didn't dare to ask any more.

Song Qingxiao didn't care, her body was strong, the yin qi had little effect on her, and after her cultivation reached the peak of the middle level of the Infant Transformation Realm, she no longer needed the weak energy ingested by food.

Therefore, from the time she entered to the present, she had been estimating the approximate time, and knew that it had been about two hours since the ship entered the Nine Dragon Caves.

At the same time, she also distracted her mind to observe the route, the terrain here is complicated, but her sense is strong, and these complex labyrinthine terrain will not be a problem for her.

She found that after the ship entered the Nine Dragons Caves, it had not actually gone deep into the Nine Dragons Caves.

For more than two hours, they were just going back and forth not far from the entrance, and even a few times Uncle Xiang led the rowing, and rowed farther and farther away from the center of the Nine Dragons Cave, and on two occasions they almost retreated not far from the exit.

The other three young people didn't notice this, but Song Qingxiao 'saw' it clearly with his divine sense.

She even wondered if Uncle Xiang, who was the leader of the way, claimed to enter the cave once a month, and had been cold and hot for decades, so he didn't know the way.

However, this person seems to have a firm attitude and is not in a hurry, and I don't know if it is a trick, for fear that a few people will remember the path.

Song Qingxiao was also silent, letting the boat drift.

After about half an hour, someone finally couldn't help it anymore and said in a trembling voice:

"Me, how long have we been in the cave?"

His teeth were chattering with cold, but as soon as the words fell, the other two young men were shaking, and there was no one to answer his words.

After a while, he took out a mobile phone, and his fingers poked it a few times in disobedience, making a 'click' sound, but the phone didn't move at all.

Obviously, as the young man said before, the magnetic field in the Nine Dragons Cave is different, and the modern facilities have lost their role here.

After the mobile phone failed here, it meant that the five people on the ship were completely disconnected from the outside world.

Without the time display of the mobile phone, everyone didn't know how long they had been in this place, and after a long time, they began to panic.

"I remember, when we came in, it was, it was afternoon, and it was ...... hiss" The young man who spoke said as he shook his mouth, and took a big sniff: "Three, about half past three, right?" ”

"It's been almost three hours."

Song Qingxiao spoke lightly, and when several people heard her speak, they couldn't help but have a strange feeling in their hearts.

Her tone was calm, her voice was light, as if she was not affected by the eerie and terrifying environment, the strange cold temperature, and the strange legends, and her speed of speech was not hurried or slow, like a clear stream, and she could even accurately tell the time when everyone entered the Nine Dragons Cave when several young people were so panicked that they had no master, which inevitably made several young people look sideways.

Not only did the young people subconsciously turn their eyes to the place where she spoke, but even the uncle instinctively turned his head to look at her.

The young man who had spoken to her before endured the strange feeling in his heart, and let out an 'oh' in some disappointment:

"Is it only three hours?" How he felt as if days had passed.

'Shhh After stopping their activities, several people felt as if they were getting colder, and the young man rubbed his arms together.

At this time, he already regretted entering the Nine Dragons Cave very much, he knew that this was the result, and he didn't want to earn more money for him.

After actually entering the Nine Dragons Cave, those appalling rumors of the year surfaced in his mind one after another.

The legendary ghost of the dragon, the dragon king who sucks the essence of people for his enjoyment, the missing tourism workers who disappeared in the Nine Dragons Caves decades ago, and the explorers who died in the Nine Dragons Caves......

If you continue to be silent and only listen to the echo of the boat and the current, I am afraid that after a while, if you continue to think wildly, everyone will be driven crazy.

Therefore, the young man simply started chatting with Song Qingxiao:

"You, you're here, what's you doing?"

This person has answered a lot of her questions before, solved some of her doubts, and indirectly made her explore some of the clues of the task.

As soon as he opened his mouth to ask at this time, Song Qingxiao glanced at him and said:

"I'm here to find the Dragon King."

As soon as she said this, the breath of several young people suddenly froze.

Even the one-eyed old man sitting on the bow of the boat paused for a moment, and time stood still, which made Song Qingxiao feel a little interesting, and the first to speak was Uncle Xiang:

"The Dragon King?" His tone was gloomy, as if he had some fierce rebuttal: "In this world, there are no gods and dragon kings, it's just a deceptive legend." ”

Song Qingxiao heard him say this, but couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth: "Legend? What is the legend of the Dragon King? ”

She had heard the young man mention the Dragon King before, and it was just a passing mention of it.

But I didn't expect Uncle Xiang to have such a big reaction after hearing the 'Dragon King', it seems that the so-called 'Dragon King' is indeed in this Nine Dragons Cave.

Uncle Xiang didn't expect that she didn't know the legend of the Dragon King at all, and after thinking about it carefully, when she was in Heishui River before, the young man really didn't mention the Dragon King to her, at most he just mentioned the intimidation of his mother when he was young.

At this time, I didn't notice that I had leaked my words for a while, and I immediately regretted and got angry, thinking that this female doll was really annoying.

He was unhappy in his heart, and he didn't even want to say anything more at the moment, and sat on the bow of the boat with a gloomy face.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, and Song Qingxiao's gaze moved towards the young man who had spoken to her earlier.

In the darkness, although the young man could not see her movements, her gaze was like substance, which suddenly made the young man feel a lot of pressure.

He looked in the direction of Uncle Xiang instinctively under Song Qingxiao's gaze, and he was keenly aware that Uncle Xiang was a little unhappy about this topic.

However, the young man was very surprised, this is just a legend known to the locals, even on the Internet, there are all kinds of rumors, if Song Qingxiao has a heart, he will find out after going out, why is Uncle Xiang reluctant to say it?

He thought of his previous plan, after entering the Nine Dragon Caves with Uncle Xiang this time, he had already found that he was not suitable for eating this bowl of rice.

Instead of dealing with corpses all year round in such a scary place as the Kowloon Caves, it is better to be a tour guide for outsiders, and you can make money to make a living, which is much easier and safer than picking up treasures and delivering goods.

After talking for a long time before, he hadn't mentioned the matter of money, but he was interrupted by Uncle Xiang, and at this moment, the thought in the young man's heart in the darkness came alive again, anyway, now the boat doesn't have to row, and he is temporarily trapped in this ghost place, it is better to talk to people, disperse and disperse fears, and then take the opportunity to mention money to Song Qingxiao, and count it in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, the young man immediately suppressed the worries in his heart and said:

"Miss Song, don't you know, we do have a legend of the Dragon King in our local area."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt Uncle Xiang's shadow move, and then a cold gaze fell on him, making his back chill and shiver.

But the next moment, before the young man could turn his head, Song Qing urinated and looked in the direction where Uncle Xiang was, and suddenly Uncle Xiang shrank his head.

The young man only felt that something was wrong, and before he could raise his head, the strange feeling had disappeared.

He immediately reached out and scratched his head, and 'hehe' laughed dryly:

"Actually, it's not a secret, it's just that after the Yellow Emperor killed the evil dragon, he placed the bones of the Nine Dragons here and guarded them personally, but the powerful resentment of the Nine Dragons Yin Soul woke up the Dragon King."

He paused for a moment, then added:

"When the dragon king saw that his people were slaughtered, he was immediately furious, and cast a spell to send down the water of the heavenly river, which flowed out from the top of this Yulun Mountain, nourishing the dry bones of the Nine Dragons."

"Nourish the dry bones of the Nine Dragons?" Song Qingxiao asked, and then remembered one more thing: "This dragon king, is it the dragon king you mentioned before?" ”

"yes." The young man was a little embarrassed, when he mentioned Uncle Xiang's past to Song Qingxiao before, he questioned Uncle Xiang's legend back then, and mentioned it by the way, as soon as she mentioned it at this time, he was afraid that Uncle Xiang would hear it, and he felt a little guilty of being a thief, so he quietly glanced in the direction of Uncle Xiang, and lowered his voice a lot:

"According to my grandma, the dragon king has infinite mana, has extraordinary spells to bring the dead back to life and control the cycle of life, he will collect people's spirits to nourish the Nine Dragons Yin Spirit, once the soul collection is enough, it can reverse the reincarnation and resurrect the living souls."

Song Qingxiao frowned, "Bring the dead back to life and control the cycle of life?" ”

"How can there be such a spell?" What answered her was Uncle Xiang's cold voice:

"It's just a rural legend, that is, it is used to scare visitors from other places."

The young man said weakly:

"That doesn't have to be ......"

"What is not necessarily!" He shouted loudly, and the sound reverberated back and forth in the cave, forming an echo of the madman through the mountain wall, and piercing through the ears of several people one after another:

"If there is such a cycle of life and death, I am afraid that the door of the Nine Dragons Cave has been broken down." He retorted viciously: "How could the mystery of immortality, which even a figure like Qin Shi Huang couldn't get, appear in this place? I've lived most of my life, what kind of scene have I never seen? How many times have you been in and out of this Nine Dragons Cave? If there is a dragon king, if there is reincarnation, can you still not know? ”

Uncle Xiang scolded angrily:

"The young boy doesn't know the height of the sky, and he opens his mouth indiscriminately, it's really hateful, if you talk nonsense like this again, I'm going to drive you off the boat!"

He had an eerie and intimidating aura, and even more so when he got angry.

This man has an eccentric temper, usually lives alone, has no relatives, no family, no children in the village, and never interacts with people.

He didn't seem to be joking when he said he was going to get people off the boat.

If he was driven off the ship in such a place, I am afraid that it would be difficult to live, and the young man was a little dissatisfied when he heard the one-eyed old man interrupt him so rudely, but at this time he was suppressed by his fierce attitude, which made him panic, and he suddenly felt like a cicada, and did not dare to say anything more.

Song Qingxiao heard the conversation between the two, but she had her own thoughts in her heart.

For ordinary people, it is indeed not credible to bring the dead back to life, but for a cultivator like Song Qingxiao, the so-called reincarnation of life and death is not absolutely impossible.

Just like Su Wu, who lives in her divine soul, after being strong enough to a certain extent, she can cover her divine soul on the god destroying technique, and want to be reborn through the secret technique.

If he succeeds, wouldn't it be a kind of reincarnation?

What's more, what the young man is telling is just a legend, and the locals should know about these rumors, why did Uncle Xiang react so much?

What is hidden in the Yulun Void of the Nine Dragon Caves? What exactly does his deal with the people who live in the Yulun Void consist of? made him pay out of his own pocket for decades to buy livestock subsidies, what benefits can those 'people' who live in the Yulun Realm give him?

"The cycle of life and death-" She took these words in her mouth, tasted them carefully, and combined with Uncle Xiang's attitude, thinking of how he was lucky to not die back then, she already vaguely felt that there was probably some connection between the two.

Song Qingxiao was silent, Uncle Xiang was angry and stopped the young man who was talking, and the other two saw that there was a lesson from the past in front of them, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent again, and the boat retreated down the water, drilling indiscriminately in the Nine Dragons Cave.

After about ten minutes of touching again, the young man seemed to sit a little stiff, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and move his arm tentatively.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Uncle Xiang seemed to fall asleep after losing his temper.

After all, he is old, although he is old and strong, but after such a long time, he should be tired, and he said that there is still a long way to go after that, and he still has to leave some strength to row, it is estimated that he is recuperating.

The other two companions didn't know if they were scared silly, or if they fell asleep and didn't move.

He moved his stiff neck left and right, looked at it, and after seeing that no one else was responding, he bit his lip, boldly moved a little more in the direction of Song Qingxiao, and reached out his elbow to touch her:

"Hey, hey."

"How?" Song Qingxiao saw his sneaky movements, but he didn't dodge, just asked.

The young man was a little embarrassed at first, and then he didn't know what he thought, and he was confident again, and lowered his voice and said:

"I've been telling you about these legends for a long time, and after you go out, you have to give me some ......" He rubbed his thumb and index finger together, and made a gesture to ask for money, but he thought that the light was dark here, and he was afraid that Song Qingxiao would not be able to see such a small move, so he said:

“…… Give me some good, right? ”

"Benefits?" Song Qing laughed and laughed.

When the young man heard her tone, he suddenly became a little anxious:

"Of course!"

He talked to Song Qingxiao about the local legend for a long time, and his mouth was dry, and he didn't drink half of the water, and he had no merit and hard work.

"What's more......" When he said this, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced in the direction of Uncle Xiang, his voice was as thin as a mosquito and fly, as if he was afraid of waking up the one-eyed old man with a strange temper sitting on the bow of the boat:

"Look at it, in order to tell you these stories, I Uncle Xiang, so it's reasonable, I can't ask for too much money, right?"

The more he spoke, the more justified he felt:

"What's more, what I told you is not inferior to those tour guides and the like, right? I don't charge a high fee for a tour guide, but you have to give a meaning, don't let me waste my words, okay? ”

"I don't have any money."

Song Qingxiao shook his head, the young man may have been too surprised when he heard her words, and he gasped with a 'hiss' and trembled.

She couldn't help but laugh:

"But you did help me."

It seems that the blow suffered by the young man is too great, I am afraid I did not expect her to say that she is 'poor' so bluntly.

I don't know what kind of 'high roller' she was assigned by the mission before entering the trial, which made this young man want to get oil and water from her.

Song Qing smiled and said:

"I can't give you money, but I can save your life, that's my promise."

The double is more in one, and the big change of 5,000 words is oh~~~
