Chapter 138, Cangyu Mountain 9
Xie Qingning was woken up by the pain, the constant heartache in her right arm woke her up from her peaceful sleep, and there was only endless darkness and dampness in front of her eyes, and the ticking sound of water droplets on the ground made her realize that she was still in that spider cave, but there was no disgusting smell nearby, and there was also a thick layer of weeds behind her, so she didn't lie directly on the cold ground, so she couldn't help but shout, "Lan Yongzhi." ”
When the call sounded, she realized that her throat was dry and astringent as if it had been burned by a raging fire, and the voice that came out was hoarse and unpleasant, like that of an old woman who had broken her voice.
However, even though she screamed so low and hoarse, Lan Yongzhi, who was leaning against the nearby cave wall and pretending to sleep, still heard it, Xie Qingning heard a slight sound of clothes rubbing, and then heard his footsteps slowly approaching, and the slight soaphorn breath on the young man's body drifted into the tip of her nose, making her spirit tremble slightly.
"But is it too cold?" Lan Yongzhi asked softly, and pulled up the robe covering her.
Xie Qingning found that he was covered with his dark blue robe, but there were slight blood stains on the clothes, which looked a little worn, fortunately, the smell on it was not unpleasant, but it was too thin, and it was indeed a little cold and panicked.
"I'm fine, where is this?" Xie Qingning pursed his somewhat chapped lips, reluctantly sat up with his uninjured left arm, leaned against the cold and hard stone wall, and looked in the dark for a while before asking.
"This is the deepest part of the Spider Cave, and the snow spider that led us here before it died, must have been its own cave." Lan Yongzhi looked at her with some concern.
"And how long did I sleep?"
"It's been more than two hours."
Xie Qingning breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't sleep for three days and three nights, otherwise he didn't know what would happen outside.
She reached out and took out two third-grade "Huiyuan Dan" from her pouch and swallowed them, then closed her eyes and silently waited for the medicine to melt. It's a pity that she is still only a third-rank pill master, if she can be promoted to the fifth rank as soon as possible, and if she uses a five-rank pill, she will definitely be able to recover from her injuries as soon as possible, at least not so that the entire right half of her body will be stiff and sore, and she will not be able to move at all.
"Just while you were asleep, I went to explore the road for a while, and walked along this road all the way, about five hundred meters later, there is a small exit, and there is a big mountain behind it, presumably the entrance used by the snow spider to enter and exit, and we can go out when you are rested." Lan Yongzhi's words made Xie Qingning slowly open his eyes and said with a smile, "I can finally go out, otherwise I don't know how long I will be trapped here, but I don't know what happened to the third brother." ”
"With Xie Tan and Ling Feng here, as well as a few people from Yunshui Villa to help, they will be fine."
Xie Qingning smiled, thinking to herself, even if Xie Huazhao felt unreliable with the three women's army, but there were still Xie Tan and Xie Lingfeng, in the past ten years, Xie Tan has been helping herself, she has become more and more experienced and reliable, and she is also very steady, but there is nothing that does not reassure her.
The two of them rested in the cave for another half an hour, and after Xie Qingning felt that the medicinal power was almost volatile and his right arm could barely move, he and Lan Yongyi went on the same road, with the help of the faint light of the fire spirit across the cave, and found an exit the size of a dog hole in the deepest place, the two of them didn't mind crawling out of the hole, anyway, there were people around, not even the shadow of a snake, insect, rat and ant, of course they were not afraid of losing face.
However, to Xie Qingning's extreme surprise, she actually found a large patch of herbs in the back mountain at the exit, these herbs were born and raised, self-contained, and grew extremely luxuriantly, so that she had all of them in her pocket, and her heart was full of joy.
On the way down the mountain, Lan Yongzhi found a thick branch for her to temporarily fill the crutches, and when he carefully helped her forward, he still couldn't help but ask her, "You have been collecting herbal venom all the way, but you want to make alchemy?" ”
Xie Qingning glanced at him and didn't want to continue to hide it from him, after all, they still had a long way to go through together, and he would find out about it sooner or later, so he nodded honestly and replied, "Not bad." ”
Lan Yong was stunned, as if she didn't expect her to answer so briskly, and asked after a while, "You...... Are you planning to cultivate the Dan Dao? ”
"There doesn't seem to be a conflict between the Dan Dao and the cultivation path, I think it can be parallel." Xie Qingning said with a smile.
"But ......," Lan Yongzhi said hesitantly, "if you spend too much time in the Dan Dao, you will definitely delay the progress of your cultivation, wouldn't that be more than worth the loss?" ”
Xie Qingning said disapprerovingly, "I don't seem to have delayed my cultivation. ”
Remembering that she had now reached the realm of foundation building the Great Perfection, which was four years shorter than herself, Lan Yongyi was a little speechless for a while, and only asked after a while, "Then how many Dan masters are you now?" ”
"Three products." Xie Qingning answered truthfully, but Lan Yongzhi was dumbfounded, and asked for a while, "You...... Have you ever told the people of the Xie family? ”
"Of course not."
Lan Yongzhi nodded knowingly and didn't say anything more.
The two of them went down the mountain in relative silence, and found a clean grass in the still endless woods to rest for a while, seeing that the sunset was in the west and the sunset was about to be late, and if they didn't meet Xie Huazhao and the others, I was afraid that tonight would be another difficult night, so they had to speed up their pace.
Fortunately, the luck of the two was not bad, just before the sky was about to get dark, they heard a low flute sound from the right front, the voice was faint, low and gentle, like a woman crying, listening to people for no reason some nostrils sour, almost about to cry.
Xie Qingning looked up at the source of the sound in surprise, only to feel that it was red, as if there was a fire cloud, and when he felt strange, he heard a piercing but neat baby cry resounding through the sky, tearing the sky above the woods, which made people feel creepy.
"I'll take a look, you're waiting for me here," Lan Yongzhi said with a slightly gloomy expression and a feeling that something was wrong.
"No, let's go together." Xie Qingning rejected his kindness, took out the red blood with his left hand, and swept forward side by side with him, about half a mile deep in the dense forest, he saw a red and bright thing in the distance, they swayed from side to side, it was like a blood-colored ocean, which was shocking.
When they got closer, they found that the sea of red was actually thousands of small red snakes, although they were only as thick as a baby's arm, they were all bright red, as if they were all dyed with a layer of red paint, and it was a little strange to look at.
At this moment, they were holding their heads high, staring at a group of humans who were heavily surrounded in the center, almost all of them were scarred and embarrassed, but they still formed a circle back to back, each holding a sharp sword, vigilantly observing the surroundings, lest they be attacked by the red snakes, so that they were powerless to resist.
And in the middle of them, Yu Mandong, a young man in sackcloth, was playing the flute, and the sound of the weeping flute was played from his cyan bamboo flute, so that the patches of red snakes stood still, and they were completely submerged without rushing up.
