Chapter 135, Cangyu Mountain 6
The situation was urgent, and Xie Qingning had to use the power of time and space contained in the "Feng Ning Jade" to shrink the ground into inches and quickly escape from the pursuit of the black giant beast. Hearing Lan Yongzhi ask now, he could only look left and right and say, "Where is this?" The air is so humid, you see the moss on the walls of this cave, so thick, I don't know how many years it took to form. ”
Lan Yongzhi glanced at her, and after all, he didn't ask about Fang Cai, but let go of her hand and slowly looked at the surrounding environment.
Although the cold wind circulating in the cave was cold, it at least showed that this was not a place of execution, and Lan Yongyi clenched the silver Lian in his hand as he walked forward.
Xie Qingning touched his nose, secretly glad that Lan Yongzhi was a very knowledgeable person, if Xie Huazhao was here, he would definitely break the casserole and ask to the end, and he would not give up easily if he didn't force her to give the answer.
Everyone has their own secrets, since she doesn't say it, of course she has her reasons, Lan Yongzhi knows this truth very well, so he doesn't want this matter to become a knot between the two of them, he would rather choose to be silent.
The two of them each held their weapons and walked slowly in the dark space, the ground was very wet, and the sound of water as they walked seemed noisy and harsh in this extraordinarily silent air, and it was easy to notice.
But there is no one here, let alone people, not even the breath of snakes, insects, rats and ants.
"The horror of Cangyu Mountain is really beyond our imagination." Xie Qingning couldn't help but sigh, Lan Yongzhi just nodded and didn't speak, and the two walked side by side for a while, faintly seeing some red light looming in the depths of the cave, and couldn't help but slow down.
"Wait." Xie Qingning suddenly stopped, causing Lan Yongzhi's heart to rise.
She looked over at the red light that couldn't tell how far away they were, frowned, and said, "I always feel like there's something dangerous inside, so let's go back." ”
Lan Yongzhi thought about it, and did not object to her opinion, the two tacitly turned around and returned the same way.
But they didn't go far before they found that the road in front of them had become seven or eight, stretching out in all directions like a spider's web, and they didn't know which road was the exit.
Xie Qingning's face finally turned pale, she was in a hurry to escape from the black beast, she didn't have time to think about which direction to escape, she didn't expect that the path she chose casually would be so strange, it was really unlucky.
"Try your luck." Lan Yongzhi wasn't so worried, he even hoped in his heart that there would never be an end to this road.
It was rare to be alone with Xie Qingning, he hoped that the time could be longer, even if there might be something very dangerous hidden in this weird cave, but he didn't regret it.
Seeing that he chose a random path and left, Xie Qingning could only follow, after all, she had no way to judge which path was the real way out.
But Lan Yongzhi's luck was not too good, and the path he chose was a dead end.
Looking at the solid mountain wall in front of him, Xie Qingning stretched out his hand and pushed it, and after making sure that it could not be shaken, he could only say regretfully, "I chose the wrong one." ”
"Then choose another one, there is always one that can get out." Lan Yongzhi shrugged indifferently, looking a little happy, and couldn't help but let Xie Qingning look at him strangely.
Frightened by her gaze, Lan Yongzhi immediately turned around and walked towards the return, her slightly awkward demeanor amused Xie Qingning, she took a few steps to keep up with him, and asked without words, "Your childhood...... How did you live? ”
Lan Yong was stunned for a long time before he replied in a low voice, "I don't have a childhood, when I was three years old, my grandfather took me to his yard and raised me personally...... Martial arts. ”
"Huh?" Xie Qingning raised her eyebrows, although she could guess that an outstanding child like him, who was valued and cultivated by the family, did not live as loosely and freely as ordinary children, but she didn't expect him to have such a hard time, she thought for a while before asking, "What about your parents?" Won't they miss you? ”
Lan Yongzhi was silent for a moment before saying, "Father is rarely at home, and he needs to deal with the family property, so he is always busy, mother...... She would secretly come to see me, but as long as her grandfather found out, he would reprimand her fiercely, and she would not come anymore, but let the maid next to her, Dumpliu, send me some ginseng soup supplements, or send me some good tea and inkstones, until I was thirteen years old, she died of illness, and I did not have the opportunity to fulfill my filial piety to her. ”
Hearing this, Xie Qingning was stunned for a moment before remembering that in the winter of six years ago, she hadn't heard about Lan Yongzhi for more than three months, and he would usually take the opportunity to find Xie Huazhao to come to the bamboo courtyard to sit and beg for some wine to taste, or ask Bai Sheng, a personal clerk, to send her some exquisite little toys, such as what bead jewelry, what pastry and delicacies, and what spiritual herb elixir.
Within ten years, the gifts he gave had been filled with a large box of zither, but Xie Qingning had never used them, except for those pastries and delicacies that would spoil if she didn't eat them, and then the spirit grass elixir was used by her to refine the pill, and the rest of the things were stored intact in the firewood room in the backyard of the bamboo garden, and she rarely remembered it.
Hearing him talk about these things, Xie Qingning suddenly felt that he really didn't care enough about Lan Yongzhi, and he didn't know that his mother had already passed away, and she couldn't help but say apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't know......." ”
"It doesn't matter." Lan Yongzhi actually smiled, he looked up at the dark and damp cave roof, as if he wanted to visit his mother who had long passed away in this way, he said, "I have passed the most difficult days, and now I am not so sad to mention it again." ”
Xie Qingning understood his feelings, although she and Xie Lanying had not gotten along, she was still willing to do many things for her, such as investigating the cause of her poisoning, such as understanding her experience back then, such as avenging her blood hatred.
The family affection that blood is thicker than water cannot be measured by any value or gain, presumably Lan Yongzhi's mother also hopes that her son can live a happy and worry-free life in the spirit of heaven, instead of being immersed in the sadness and sorrow of losing his mother for a long time, unable to extricate himself.
Because of this heavy topic, the two fell into a long silence, until the second passage was once again blocked by the solid mountain wall, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time shook their heads helplessly.
"I've already chosen twice and I'm not right, so let you choose this time." Lan Yongzhi said deliberately, he wanted to re-arouse the topic.
But Xie Qingning was no longer in the mood to chat, the fact of being trapped in the cave made her feel depressed, and she didn't know what happened to Xie Huazhao and the others, so she took a deep breath before saying, "Let's divide the soldiers into two ways, otherwise I don't know when we will be able to get out if we continue like this." ”
Lan Yongzhi looked at her, his eyes obviously hiding his unwillingness, but he still did not object, and silently embarked on the third path.
After watching his figure disappear, Xie Qingning chose the fourth path, and his figure swept forward.
