Cold wind, cold water, quiet night.

A stream meanders through and joins a huge pool. It is surrounded by stones of various colors, red and black, white and blue, and of various sizes. Surrounded by thousands of cliffs, several unknown trees grow in the corners of the cliffs, and a person is lying under the tree, slowly waking up.

Yes!

A wail of pain echoed across the land. Qi Mu reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at the scene next to him.

Where is this? How did I end up here?

Qi Mu only felt a splitting headache and wanted to raise his hand to pat his head, but found that he couldn't lift his arm. I want to get up and walk around, but I can't get up. It was as if he was completely paralyzed, and his limbs had no feeling.

He twisted his head with all his might, and when he looked down, his arm was limply hanging on the ground, and his wrist was folded horizontally in reverse, apparently broken. Look at the leg again, there is also a broken one.

"What's wrong with me?" Qi Mu muttered to himself, said a word, and suddenly reacted: "Ah, I, can I speak?" ”

With the mouth open to speak, all the memories began to come to mind.

Late at night, the top of the bright moon, the four statues, Yuejialing, jumped off the cliff.

These images appeared in my mind, and I began to spell together the previous things. Qi Mu finally remembered that night, he was taken out by King Qing, met Yuejialing in the deep forest, the four besieged the two, and after the two fled to the top of the bright moon, Yuejialing killed Lan Hou, and he himself was humiliated, and finally died.

Originally, Qi Mu himself was also going to die, but when he thought of Qin Rouyi and Zhang Tiansheng, his will to survive forced him to rush out of the cliff on the top of the bright moon at a critical time and fall straight down from a thousand feet in the sky.

Liu De, a farmer who was strong at the land farmer conference, once said to Qi Mu that in order to steal treasures, he had found a back and forth in Daming Mountain, and mentioned at that time that there was a pool under the cliff of Daming Mountain.

Qi Mu just held the idea of surviving in death, jumped and escaped from the strangulation of the three statues. Now it seems that what Liu De said is indeed right, there is indeed a waterhole here. It was this waterhole that saved him and washed himself to this side.

Even so, Qi Mu is no different from a waste at the moment. He was on top of the bright moon, and tried his best, but he was still beaten and crippled, with a broken hand and a broken leg. Falling off the cliff again, even with the buffer of the pool, he still almost stoned himself to death.

Qi Mu recalled everything, and then looked around, surrounded by mountains, thousands of peaks towering, covering the sky and the sun, all around were gloomy, I don't know day and night. I can vaguely hear the murmuring of the stream around me, turning around and merging into the pool not far away.

This time he escaped from death, and it did coincide with Jiang Yixian's calculation of nine deaths, Qi Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly, even if he didn't admit it, he still had to say that Jiang Yixian was really an old immortal, and he was too accurate.

Qi Mu secretly thought: Although Jiang Yixian is accurate, my life is greater, nine deaths, and this life is also preempted by me. I have to live, the old Taoist priest hasn't been rescued yet, and Xiaorou is still waiting for me!

He is an optimistic character, and he has experienced wind and rain, and his heart has become more and more tenacious.

Qi Mu first closed his eyes and looked inward, but he felt dizzy, and he couldn't even do the method of inward vision, let alone look at the state of Yuan Ying, but seeing that there was no Qili now, presumably Yuan Ying was also seriously injured.

Qi Mu opened his eyes, hesitated, and said to himself: "The top priority is to let me stand up first and see how to get out." ”

He made up his mind, turned over hard, and then leaned against the tree to get up, but then slipped down again, and couldn't get up at all. After repeating it several times, I couldn't get up, but my whole body was in pain, and my flesh and bones were cracked.

Qi Mu was so tired that he was out of breath, and he lay down and rested for a long time, listening to the sound of running water in his ears, and had an idea again. He rolled over, fell right into the stream, and then held a wooden stick with his right hand, which had not yet been broken, and pushed the bank, using the buoyancy of the stream to move his body forward.

The creek was so narrow that it could only accommodate one person to lie down, and the river was shallow, and the rocks under the water were craggy, so that Qi Mu kept screaming. Finally, the stream reached a corner, Qi Mu pushed hard, and with the power of the current, he stood up at the corner at once, and then staggered, and was about to fall, but he supported the ground with a wooden stick, and then he barely allowed himself to stand.

Only his right hand and left leg still have strength, and everything else is broken, especially in his body, the burning sensation like flames continues to impact, but his whole body feels very cold. Qi Mu walked forward step by step, and the lawn in front of him was obviously only ten steps away, but he walked for half an hour.

Qi Mu walked to the lawn and sat down slowly. The grass and seedlings here are abundant, and it is much more comfortable than the strange rocky place just now. He found a slope, lowered his feet and lay down slowly, and suddenly felt much more comfortable, and gradually fell asleep.

Qi Mu dreamed of Qin Rouyi for a while, Zhang Tiansheng for a while, and the battle on the top of the bright moon for a while. Everything in the past keeps coming back to me like a marquee.

I don't know how long it took, Qi Mu woke up from his sleep, only to feel cold sweat and water on his face. He tried to get up, but found that his physical strength was exhausted, like a stone stuck in a quagmire, and kept going down.

The grass beneath me was so soft that it was the most comfortable bed I've had in recent times, but the more comfortable it was, the easier it was to sink in. Qi Mu knew that he was in a dangerous situation, and he had to fight his spirit at any time, otherwise he would definitely not be able to escape.

He gritted his teeth, supported his body with his own spirit, and stood up from the soft grass, and a feeling of dizziness followed.

Without Qili's body protection, coupled with injuries all over his body, Qi Mu is already inferior to ordinary people, and what's worse is that now there is no food, so he must replenish his physical strength.

He limped to the stream at last and then threw his hand into it. The cold irritation of the stream struck his bones and kept him awake. It's just that the water seems to be a little too cold.

After touching it for a long time, there was nothing to eat, Qi Mu could only lower his head and bite the grass, and then chewed, at this moment, a smooth small fish swam past his fingertips, so fast that he didn't catch it.

Qi Mu was surprised: "There are fish? That's great! ”

He forcibly lifted his spirits, groped in the stream again, and another fish swam by and was caught by Qi Mu. Before he could catch it, the fish got out of Qi Mu's hand again and fell into the stream again.

Qi Mu didn't give up, continued to put his hand on the stream, and finally another small fish swam by, this time he just grabbed it, grabbed the small fish and caught it, the small fish tossed twice on the grass, and no longer moved.

Qi Mu was overjoyed, moved his body to grab the little fish, and rubbed it on the grass, which was cleaned, but he still felt cold in his hand, and when he grabbed the finger of the little fish, snow-white ice crystals appeared.

Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, hurriedly threw away the small fish in his hand, and then looked down again to take a closer look, and suddenly realized that this fish was nothing else, it was actually a yin fish!

It is recorded in the "Taoist Code of Conduct" that the Yin Fish was born in the Yin and Yang branches, and is the only creature that leads from Yin to Yang and from the underworld to the world. But where the yin fish is, it is the place where yin and yang meet.

I didn't know how to catch two yin fish before, Qi Mu followed over to see, in the mountainside of the Xuantian Sect Courtyard, there was a hole, and there were indeed traces of Yin fish.

It's just that now this place should be a cliff of 10,000 zhang behind Daming Mountain, and it is far away from the Xuantian Sect Courtyard, how can the Yin Fish swim here?

Qi Mu thought about it carefully, and suddenly it dawned that although the two peaks were a little far away, at the foot of the mountain, the flowing water in the ravine should be the same branch. In other words, this is where yin and yang meet.

Qi Mu sighed: "It's not good to jump, but I jumped here." Where yin and yang meet, isn't this what it means for me to go to Hades and go down to the Yin Cao? Anyway, I didn't eat or drink, I just died. ”

He said and lay down on his back, and after a sigh, he still barely got up, grabbed the yin fish, gritted his teeth, and stuffed it directly into his mouth. The entrance is cold and cold, but fortunately the fish is not hard, and it is swallowed after three or two strokes.

For some reason, a yin fish went down to the stomach, and the pain of Qi Mu's internal organs turning over the river and the sea suddenly eased a lot. He climbed to the river again, and with great effort, he grabbed two more yin fish and swallowed them directly.

The three yin fish went down, and their bodies were full of coldness, as if cold water was flowing back and forth in their stomachs, but the pain inside them really dissipated.

He struggled and looked inward again, but there was still no miracle, and he couldn't see the state of the infant. Qi Mu staggered forward along the stream, and after a few turns, he arrived in front of the waterhole on that side.

The waterhole is only a few feet in radius, and there are no branches other than the stream flowing in at your feet. Qi Mu looked down and saw that the water in the pool was already a turquoise abyss, and he couldn't see the bottom, much like the deep pool behind Cangyun Mountain.

Qi Mu sat down next to the waterhole, and then looked around, there were few trees, all rock walls, and the sky was jagged.

"This time, I'm afraid I will fall below the bottom of Daming Mountain. Even if you have miraculous power, it will take some effort to go up, let alone now. Qi Mu looked up and said with a wry smile: "If I don't have any miracle power, I will really die of old age here." ”

He crossed his leg with one hand, and then re-cast the method of inner vision, this time he managed to gather some miraculous power, and then disappeared again.

Qi Mu tried a few more times, but it was all the same, he was immediately deflated, and then looked around, and could only climb back to the top of the mountain by his own ability.

He found a few pieces of wood, and finally found rattan, wrapped the wood around his arms, legs, and feet, and then wrapped a thick wooden stick around his back, and he barely managed to move freely.

Qi Mu looked around and made sure that there was nowhere else to go, so he found a cliff with a slight slope and began to climb.

It's not easy. Qi Mu climbed two steps, then fell down, climbed up again, and then fell down again, and finally took a few steps, and suddenly stepped on the air, and fell down again.
