Chapter 55: Out of the Hole
Childe Qingqian and Rouxin survived for eight days in the stone room by eating wild fruits.
Gongzi Jinqian sat on the bluestone next to the wetland where the two of them had fallen and never moved.
Feng Yan beside him was so anxious that he was going crazy. Gongzi Jinyan only drank some water and ate a few wild fruits, but he didn't even say a word.
Yao Tong on the other side cries every day, he is even more feminine than a woman! If it weren't for Xuanfei guarding him all the time, Feng Yan would have to beat him up!
Chen Yi occasionally came over for a walk, but he didn't say anything. Feng Yan really hoped that he could persuade his son.
"What happens if you dig from here?" Gongzi Jin said in a hoarse voice.
"There's endless dirt down there!" Chen Yi sighed.
"Then dig up the dirt!" Childe Jinqi stood up. His tone was stubborn and cold, intimidating.
"That's right! I'm going home with my son! Yao Tong burst into tears again. Feng Yan's head "buzzed" wider.
"Good! I'm going to send in people! Chen Yi saw that Gongzi Jinqian was so resolute, so he had to follow his wishes. Only if he dies can he start again!
After noon, some soldiers began to dig the wetland with their tools.
The eyes of Gongzi Jinqi and the others looked at the pit that was being dug deeper and deeper, and their hearts were pinched. They wanted to see the shallow corpses of Rouxin and Childe, but they were afraid that it would be unbearable to see. While their hearts were tormented, a soldier suddenly fell.
Everyone looked at the pit in amazement, and it was so dark that they couldn't see anything clearly.
"There's a hole down there! Emma! The soldier crawled to his feet in pain.
"Get out of the way!" Gongzi Jinqi jumped down as he spoke. Fortunately, the soldier was shrewd and was not stepped on by Gongzi Jin.
"Come down! They may still be alive! Get a torch! Gongzi Jinqian said and took a few steps back.
Feng Yan broke the wooden shovels of the soldiers beside him, made a torch and lit it, and then he jumped down.
Yao Tong and Xuanfei also jumped into the hole one after another. Chen Yi ordered the soldiers to guard the entrance of the cave. Then he jumped off without hesitation. At this time, everyone noticed that there was mud falling.
"Not good! There's a corridor ahead, get in! Chen Yi shouted.
Childe Jinyan took the lead and entered the Yongdao. The cavern behind them was quickly filled with wet mud.
Childe is shallow and soft-hearted and is looking for a way out. Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded behind them: "You are still alive!" ”
When they looked back, everyone was here. They were stunned for a moment, followed by cheers and cries.
Rouxin walked up to Gongzi Jinyan and stared at him with a tired and tired face. His eyes were blackened, and his beard stubble was sticking out. There were tears in Rouxin's eyes.
Gongzi Jinyan hugged Rouxin, for fear that she would disappear again.
Gongzi Qingqian wiped his tears for Yao Tong while looking at Rouxin. Rouxin gently pushed Gongzi Jin's waist. But he was hugged tighter by Gongzi Jin.
"The Lingxiao Gong is engraved on the wall of the stone bed!" Childe took a shallow breath and said. Everyone came to the stone bed and bent down to take a look.
"Childe! Let's check it out, too! Feng Yan took the torch and walked towards the stone bed.
Childe Jinqian let go of his arm. Rouxin breathed a sigh of relief.
The light of the torches illuminated the writing on the stone walls. Everyone read and remember greedily!
Childe Jin Yan put his arm around Rouxin's shoulder and watched from afar. Childe stood at the head of the bed and watched Childe Jin. He was unmoved by this peerless exercise! This is something that Childe Qingqian did not expect.
"Hey! The word is gone! Yao Tong slapped the stone bed wall with his hand. Gongzi Qingqian pulled away Yao Tong and touched the stone wall himself. Although the word is gone, the exit has appeared. The stone bed slowly cracked.
Everyone looked at it, and a stone staircase stretched downward. Childe Qingqian took the oil lamp placed softly next to the bed and walked down first. Everyone went in turn. Feng Yan held the torch and watched his son-in-law pull Rouxin and slowly walk down, and he followed behind them.
There is still a hole in the ground under the stairs. In the far part of the cave is a tunnel. Everyone walked a long way down the tunnel before they reached another cave.
The scene in this cave made Gongzi Jinqian very familiar. He took the torch in Feng Yan's hand and shone it on the wall.
"This hole is the twelfth!" Childe Jin's words made everyone stop.
"You mean it leads to ......," Childe smiled.
"Let's go!" Childe Jinqi has already noticed the mark of the last time she came.
Soon, Gongzi Jinqi found the dead python that Xuanfei threw into the hole. An imperceptible smile appeared on his face.
Gongzi Jin Yan hugged Rouxin's waist and forcefully crossed the python to the inner cave lined with stone pillars.
"Watch out for the python under your feet!" Childe Jinyan deliberately lengthened his voice.
The oil lamp in Childe's hand almost fell off. Xuanfei grabbed his arm. He kicked the dead python out of the way.
The python landed on the stone pillar. Its head was directed at the young man who was coming out.
Childe was so frightened that he felt cold. Xuanfei reached out to block Childe's shallow gaze and dragged him out of the hole.
"You dead snake! It's not my son-in-law who can slaughter you! Don't you want to pester him! Yao Tong pointed to the dead snake head at the top of the pillar and scolded.
"It's just a snake! As for it? Chen Yi looked at the pale Gongzi Qingqian in confusion.
When everyone returned to the cottage, it was already dark at night. Everyone gathered around the fire and ate barbecue.
At night, Gongzi Jin fell asleep with a soft heart. Childe is destined to sleep badly.
In the morning, Chen Yi asked Rouxin to write "Lingxiao Gongfa" silently. But Rouxin can't remember everything.
Everyone looked at Rouxin with strange eyes. Gongzi Jin's eyes were also full of doubt.
"Didn't you read it too? Help think about it! Childe smiled lightly.
"Why can't I remember a word?" Yao Tong scratched his head and said.
Chen Yi felt that he had only memorized the first two sentences. What's going on?
Rouxin put down her pen and sighed. This exercise is amazing. Childe Qingqian didn't let her say that she had practiced this method. She knew he was protecting her.
It is an unprecedented miracle that even a person who has practiced this exercise cannot write. And this miracle happened. And it happened to a soft heart that was almost unforgettable.
Fortunately, everyone has experienced this together, otherwise Rouxin would not be able to tell even if she has eight mouths.
Although this trip was thrilling and dangerous, it was a vain job for Chen Yi and the others.
Gongzi Qingqian took out the ciphertext and read the next sentence: Gilt Underwater Nine Palace Tower Qianwen Confession Buddha.
"This treasure must be the Mahayana Sutra!" Chen Yi speculated from the Buddhist characters in the text.
"The scriptures are usually placed in the stupas! Where is this Nine Palace Tower? After speaking, Gongzi Jinqi looked at Xuanfei.
"There are no temples here!" Xuanfei said angrily. His internal injuries have not yet healed, which is all due to Gongzi Jin.
"You're not a grudgeant, are you? You're the one who started the trouble! Gongzi Jinyan said unceremoniously.
"So what? If you don't have a temple, you have to build one? Xuanfei sneered.
"Not here, maybe somewhere else!" Chen Yi interrupted the argument between the two.
