Chapter Eighty-Eight: Trapped
Returning the original way along the mark, the two turned around, and Zhang Tianduo found that the mark was lost at a fork.
"This ...... Why is there no mark here? I should have carved a mark. ”
"What? No markers? You won't forget to engrave it, will you? Qing Ling's face changed when he heard this.
"Impossible, I have an engraved mark every fork in the road, is it possible that we have a fork in front?"
"Ahh Then let's go back. ”
Seeing that there was only half of the candle left in his hand, Zhang Tianduo also began to get anxious, he turned around and walked back, and said, "Follow tightly." ”
The two hurried backwards, but they were stunned, because when they reached the next fork, the mark was gone.
"How so? Why is the mark gone? Qing Ling was young after all, and she seemed very frightened in the face of this strange and strange thing.
Zhang Tianduo suddenly understood something, he shouted loudly: "Senior, I know that the predecessor has been monitoring us, we have no malicious intentions, I hope the senior can show up." ”
Qing Ling's voice trembled a little: "What are you talking about?" ”
Zhang Tianduo waved her hand to signal her not to speak, and waited for a while, but there was still no response.
Zhang Tianduo was helpless, turned back to Qing Ling and said, "The mark was erased by the seniors. ”
"Huh?!" Qing Ling was shocked, if the mark was erased by the mountain, then he would not be able to get out, and the thought of being trapped in a labyrinthine cave, Qing Ling couldn't help but scold: "What kind of predecessor are you, you will make these third-rate methods, despicable, shameless, and obscene!" ”
Zhang Tianduo wanted to stop her too late, he smiled bitterly in his heart, offending Manshan in such an environment is tantamount to asking for his own death.
However, even though Qing Ling scolded very ugly, he still didn't get any response.
The candle in his hand was getting shorter and shorter, Zhang Tianduo knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to go out, he could only rely on Manshan, he said loudly: "Senior, we are the people sent by the Yin-Yang mother-in-law, and the Yin-Yang mother-in-law used to be called Mrs. Baihua. ”
After waiting for a while, he shouted again: "Now that the righteous path is facing an unprecedented calamity, we just want to ask our seniors to come out of the mountain to help, and there is no malice." ”
Still didn't respond, Zhang Tianduo paused slightly, and continued to shout: "The junior is Zhang Tianduo, a disciple of the Mai Sect, and my senior uncle is Zhang Shiyi." ”
He brought out Zhang Shiyi and Granny Yinyang, hoping to make some difference, but Manshan still didn't agree.
Zhang Tianduo scolded in his heart, this mountain is still a master, and even the two juniors don't dare to come out to see him, it's too much of a bastard.
After thinking about it, he carried Luo Zong out: "The younger generation is also the descendant of the crazy beggar of Shushan. ”
Luo Zong's name is definitely known to everyone in the righteous path, no matter what his style is, and no matter how senior those people in the righteous path are, once he meets him, he always has to give some face, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on people like Man Shan.
Qing Ling on the side saw that Zhang Tianduo's words didn't have the slightest effect, and the scolding was even more ugly: "You old bastard, shrinking turtle, hiding here and not daring to see people, what kind of master are you, coward!" Rubbish! Loser! ”
Zhang Tianduo heard her scolding more and more fiercely, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to stop: "Qingling, enough, we are here to beg for help, not to find fault." ”
Qing Ling's anger did not subside, he put aside Zhang Tianduo's hand, and wanted to scold some more ugly words, but at this moment, the surrounding firelight fluttered, and suddenly it darkened.
"Ahh The sudden darkness made the green spirit scream.
Zhang Tianduo was also shocked, although the candle was running out, it should still be able to burn for a while and a half, why did it suddenly go out?
With a slight movement of his hand, he immediately exclaimed, it turned out that his hand was empty, and the candle was gone.
"Stinky girl, scold again, Lao Tzu told you to starve to death here!" Suddenly, an ethereal voice was heard in the distance.
Zhang Tianduo woke up and shouted: "Don't misunderstand, seniors, we have no bad intentions, please show up and see you." ”
"Hmph, Lao Tzu wanted to scare and scare you two little ghosts, but the stinky girl's mouth is so poisonous, Lao Tzu has changed his mind now, Lao Tzu went out to drink, and came back in ten days, you have the ability to go out by yourself!"
"Senpai!"
No matter how loud Zhang Tianduo screamed, there was no response.
He sat on the ground weakly, smiling bitterly in his heart, knowing that the mountain was gone.
In the face of this darkness that could not be seen, Zhang Tianduo was already helpless, he couldn't help but want to scold Qing Ling a few words, if it weren't for her unscrupulous words, the mountain would just scare and scare them in the end, instead of abandoning them in this labyrinthine cave.
Ten days, Zhang Tianduo smiled bitterly in his heart, let alone ten days, even three days, they couldn't hold on.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianduo raised his head and glanced at the opposite side, but unfortunately it was pitch black, he couldn't see anything, and he didn't know what kind of expression Qing Ling had at this time.
Suddenly, a slender and soft hand was on the back of his hand, and Leng Buding startled Zhang Tianduo, and before he could react, Qing Ling's voice sounded beside him: "Tianduo, I'm afraid of ......"
Listening to her crying voice, Zhang Tianduo couldn't scold even if he wanted to, he clenched Qing Ling's hand with his backhand, and said, "Don't be afraid of me." ”
Qing Ling let out a slight "um" and was speechless.
The two of them sat quietly like this, Qing Ling's head suddenly rested on his shoulder, Zhang Tianduo was shocked in his heart, and wanted to push her, but heard Qing Ling mutter: "Tianduo, I'm sleepy, borrow my shoulder." ”
Zhang Tianduo immediately retracted his hand, not daring to move again, a faint fragrance came, Zhang Tianduo blushed unconsciously, he could even hear Qingling's slow breathing, which made him feel hot and unbearable, he pinched himself hard, and said in his heart: "Think about something else." ”
Zhang Tianduo forced himself to think about other things, and unconsciously, Zhang Tianduo also fell asleep.
It is no wonder that the two of them searched for a whole day in the Two Realms Cave, and they were hungry and tired before the water and rice entered, and as soon as they sat down, they were tired and soon fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Tianduo was suddenly woken up by a shaking: "Tianduo, Tianduo ......"
Zhang Tianduo stretched his waist, but he still couldn't see his five fingers around, he said "um" and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Tianduo, find a way to get out, I can't stand it anymore."
Zhang Tianduo smiled bitterly: "If I could think of a way, I wouldn't be sitting here." ”
"I have to think of a way, I can't just sit there."
"If you walk around, you may encounter danger."
"Then we're going to just sit and die?"
"Not necessarily, we can only wait now."
"Wait? What are you waiting for? ”
Zhang Tianduo sighed and said: "Wait for the senior Manshan to come back, I think he is just angry for a while, and he will come back when the anger is gone." ”
"And when will he get angry? We didn't eat or drink, and it was hard to hold on for even three days. ”
"So let's not waste our energy, although we may faint from hunger, it is not a problem to live for ten days."
Qing Ling was angry: "You said lightly, what if he doesn't come back in ten days?" ”
Zhang Tianduo was right to think about it, it was indeed stupid to wait like this, and if Manshan didn't come back, wouldn't the two of them have to be starved to death.
After thinking about it for a moment, he got up and said, "Alright then, let's walk around and hope to find something." ”
Qing Ling grabbed the clothes on his back and said, "Don't go too fast. ”
"Hmm."
Zhang Tianduo moved forward in the dark, and the two of them wandered around in the two realms cave aimlessly, and when they couldn't walk, the two sat down to rest, and if they were sleepy, they snuggled up to each other and snuggled to sleep.
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Tianduo felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker, and his mouth was maddening.
Qingling hadn't spoken for a long time, and Zhang Tianduo asked her a few times, but she only said "uh-huh" a few times.
Rounding a corner, Zhang Tianduo wanted to continue moving forward, but heard a "bang" sound behind him.
He turned around and asked, "Qing Ling?" ”
Qing Ling did not answer.
"Qingling? Where are you? Zhang Tianduo leaned over and touched it, and suddenly touched a delicate arm, he was shocked, and hurriedly helped Qing Ling up: "Qing Ling, what's wrong with you?" ”
After not getting an answer for a long time, Zhang Tianduo hurriedly stretched out his finger to probe his nose, and he was already angry.
Zhang Tianduo was really panicked, Qing Ling was obviously hungry and fainted, if she didn't eat something, she would be worried about her life.
If you wait here, as long as Manshan comes back, there may still be a glimmer of life, but if Manshan does not come back, then waiting any longer will undoubtedly make the situation worse, whether to continue to go or wait, Zhang Tianduo must make a choice.
Soon, Zhang Tianduo had already made a decision, he carried Qing Ling on his back, gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely take you out of here!" ”
He knew very well in his heart that there was little hope for waiting, but if he continued to walk, there was still a chance to find an exit, so he had to gamble that success would lead to life and defeat would die.
Carrying one more person, Zhang Tianduo's strength was consumed faster, and he almost ran the Qingxi Decision while walking, trying to recover some of his strength, but his weakness was caused by hunger, and the Qingxi Decision was useless.
Zhang Tianduo felt pain with every step, hunger made his stomach almost twist together, but he still persevered, he knew that once he fell, he would never be able to stand up again.
Tenacity and perseverance supported him, but unfortunately Zhang Tianduo was only a flesh and blood person after all, after he walked out of a thousand steps with Qing Ling on his back, he finally exhausted the last trace of strength, and even fell down with Qing Ling.
Zhang Tianduo, who fell to the ground, did not immediately faint, he didn't even have the strength to remove Qing Ling from his body, he just said angrily: "Qing Ling...... Right...... Sorry...... Now, we're ...... It seems to be ...... Dead here......"
An unprecedented tiredness struck, Zhang Tianduo was so tired, he slowly closed his eyes, and a figure appeared in his mind, it was Li Xiang, he actually thought of Li Xiang at the moment of life and death, Zhang Tianduo was miserable in his heart, and he didn't know what happened to her now.
Just when he was about to lose consciousness, a fragrance came into his nose, Zhang Tianduo's spirit lifted slightly, he gritted his teeth and looked up, but at the end of the darkness, a light loomed.
