At a glance, the cave is narrow and long, with a faint light flickering at the bottom of the unfathomable cave, and the faint sound of the wind mixed with the sound of water rises faintly.

"Isha, the stone walls here are slippery, and there is no place to stay, how can you get down?" Jing Mo glanced at the stone cave like a sheep's intestine, and the little hope that had just risen in his heart was extinguished again.

Isha Wan'er smiled and took the vine that Jingmo had tied to her waist just now: "Sister Pharmacist, do you know how the well water is salvaged from the bottomless underground?" ”

Jingmo understood, put the long vine down in the stone cave, she helped up the painting thirteen, and before sliding down the vine, she turned around and told Changling: "The cave is narrow, you and Isha follow us, take care of each other, be careful." ”

Chang Ling nodded heavily, Isha stood on tiptoe and grabbed Chang Ling, who was two heads taller than her, patted him on the shoulder and said like a little adult: "Squinting little brother, after a while, you just grab my arm and slide all the way, if you are afraid, just shout out." ”

Isa's slender wrist rested on Chang Ling's shoulder, but Chang Ling felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, he couldn't help but nod obediently, and shook his head fearlessly, his tongue seemed to be knotted.

Soon, they all climbed the vines and got ready, and Jingmo used all the cloth belts and ropes he could find to entangle her and Hua Juju. She looked at the bottom of the deep cave, took a deep breath, tightly protected the unconscious Hua Thirteen, closed her eyes and slid down with a "whoosh", and the sound of the two winds quickly passed through the mountain, and suddenly there was a scream that resounded through the sky:

"Ahh

Chang Ling hugged the screaming Isha tightly, and opened and closed his lips and teeth with difficulty in the rapid glide: "You, are you okay?" ”

"Ahhh

Isha's voice pierced the ears of Chang Ling, who was close to her, like an arrow piercing through the clouds, but he couldn't let go of the hand that was tightly holding Isa to cover his always sharp ears, so he had to let his ears be tormented, and he couldn't help but think sullenly: This little girl, she is not afraid of the ground before going down to the cave, and she is not afraid of tomorrow, but now it is good, just count her to be happy!

In the blink of an eye, accompanied by a terrible scream, the four of them followed the smooth stone cave closer and closer to the exit of the bottom of the gorge. Jing Mo saw that a little ethereal glimmer in the distance in his line of sight was constantly magnifying, magnifying into a large pearl and a pill of the moon, and finally becoming a clear and bright world.

"Oh my God, isn't this the paradise in the book?" Jingmo looked around, although it was the middle of winter, the bottom of the gorge was full of plants and trees, flowers and fruits, and a thin stream meandered out from behind the mountain. But when Jingmo caught a glimpse of the color of the water, he immediately frowned, and was about to take a closer look, but was hurriedly pulled forward by Isa.

Isha looked left and right, and soon ran to a corner full of thorns, and she carefully and skillfully tore open a mass of thorny grass blades, and another hole was exposed.

Jingmo was dumbfounded again, this place is not so much a miracle of creation, but an unusual sense of weirdness, she has a faint sense of foreboding in her heart, but she stroked the forehead of the thirteenth flower, and any doubts in her heart suddenly gave way, and all her safety was not as good as saving him first.

"Isa." Jing Mo suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Isa's wrist, and said with a serious look and a resolute look: "Let me ask you, is it possible for me to treat him when I get to your town?" ”

Isha looked at the bloodless painting thirteen, lowered her eyes slightly, blinked, and then raised her head and smiled: "Of course you can." When you get to town, it'll be fine. ”

Jingmo nodded, but her inexplicably uneasy heart was still difficult to calm down, she glanced at the deep and dark cave entrance, and found that it was also narrow and smooth, just like the stone cave she had just passed, but the problem was, just now, it was down, and it could still slide along the vine, but how to go up? Even if this girl flew away from the mountain wall like a gecko, they couldn't get up. Jing Mo was suddenly vigilant, turned his head and whispered: "Changling, prepare your sword at any time, if necessary, I hope to strike faster than when you visited me at night in Qinyuan." ”

Chang Ling was stunned for a moment, and seemed to faintly feel that the surrounding environment was unusual, nodded emphatically, and clenched his hands.

And Isha was putting her hands up and down in the entrance of the cave, groping for something, Jingmo helped Hua Thirteen to slowly retreat behind Changling, her eyes were vigilant and cautious to observe Isa's every move, when she took out something from the hole and was about to turn around, Jingmo suddenly shouted:

"Chang Ling! Now is the time! ”

Suddenly, Chang Ling grasped the sword with lightning speed, and he couldn't even see the action of drawing the sword clearly, and in the blink of an eye, it reached Isa's throat, and if it was nearly half an inch, he would definitely see blood sealing his throat.

Isha was startled at first, and the bright and innocent smile on her face suddenly disappeared, and she suddenly burst into tears, which frightened Changling. Then, Isha took a big step sideways and bit Changling's sword-holding hand.

"Ahh

"Isha!" Jingmo tried to stop it, but saw Isha biting Changling's arm, and her eyebrows and eyes were squeezed together due to the fierce force, until Changling's hand was bitten out by her with a deep red tooth mark, Isha slowly relieved her hatred.

Jingmo examined Changling's wound while protecting Painting Thirteen, and looked at Isha with vigilance: "What exactly did you take out of the cave just now?" ”

Isha pursed her lips, her temper still not dissipating, and threw out a white round object stained with mud from behind her, rolling to Jingmo's feet.

Jing Mo has been a pharmacist for many years, of course, she can recognize a person's skull at a glance, her feet are numb, but she asked calmly and quietly, "Isha, what do you mean by this?" Whose skull is this? ”

Isha glared fiercely at Chang Ling, who was pointing the sword at her just now, and looked at Jingmo dissatisfied: "This is the skull of my people, sometimes some dead people have nowhere to bury, so they will be thrown to the bottom of the gorge along this acupoint, so as to leave a whole corpse, I was afraid that you would be scared so I secretly took it out and threw it aside." Hmph, you Han people are really big bad guys! I helped you cross the Leigong Gorge, and you pointed your sword at me! ”

Jingmo handed the painting thirteen to Changling, she stared intently at Isa's stubborn but clear eyes, and after a while, she walked boldly to the hole where the skeleton was pulled out, she wanted to see for herself what tricks this quirky exotic girl was playing.

"Ahh Jingmo couldn't help but shout, but then she calmed herself down and calmed down, she saw that there were indeed scattered white bones around the cave, and even some debris was left, probably eaten by the fierce beasts or birds at the bottom of the gorge.

Jing Mo froze, recalled what Isha had just said, turned around and took a deep breath and said, "Isa, we just want to save people, not bad people, I believe that you are also a good boy with a good heart." Can you tell me why your people would die if they weren't thrown down? ”

Isha looked down at her fingers tangled and fighting, hesitated for a moment, and then raised her head and asked, "Sister Medicine Master, if I told you, would you not come to town with me?" ”

Jingmo returned to Hua Thirteen, gently wiped the fine sweat oozing from his pale forehead, looked at Hua Thirteen's face with infinite tenderness and replied, "Isa, you don't have to worry about this. We're here, and there's no way back but to go with you to town. As long as I save him, even if there are many skeletons in front of me, I will go. ”

With Isa's current cardamom age, she couldn't fully appreciate the tenderness and resoluteness overflowing in Jingmo's eyes at this time, she frowned sadly, and pouted: "Hey." Sister Pharmacist, I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that Storm Town really needs a pharmacist right now. I promise, you won't be in any danger! ”

The clouds of suspicion and sorrow in Jingmo's brows were intertwined, and she suddenly understood why Isha had been so happy to invite them to town at first, and then hurriedly pulled them forward with some concealment. Jingmo glanced at the darkening sky and the high mountain walls on both sides, and she promised Isa, "If the town needs me to save people, I will define it as a pharmacist." Can you tell me what disease your people are suffering from? ”

Isha was about to speak, but faintly heard a few ethereal calls from the mouth of the stone cave: "Isha? Isa? Are you back? ”

Jingmo was stunned for a moment, only to see Isha pull out her legs and run to the cave**, shaking her arms and patting the stone wall inside, "popping" three times suddenly along the dead and quiet mountain to the top of the cliff, and then, she raised her head and shouted: "The melons and fruits are sweet, there is no danger!" ”

Jing Mo didn't understand what she meant by this sentence that sounded like a melon farmer's shout, but she secretly wrote it down. With Isha's words, he went around the stone cave in a flutter, and after a while, Jingmo couldn't help but be even more surprised when he saw a soft ladder made of vines hanging down from the entrance of the cave.

Isha winked at Jingmo obediently and motioned for them to climb the soft ladder together: "The person on top will pull the soft ladder up." Soon, Sister Pharmacist, you don't have to worry. ”

Jingmo looked at the soft ladder suspiciously, and found that some places have even been rubbed by rubbing, which can be seen to be used often, and according to the length of the stone cave, this soft ladder may be as high as the ladder, and there is no place to use it elsewhere, so why do they frequently come to the bottom of the gorge? Jingmo glanced around the bottom of the gorge and found that there was nothing unusual except for this scarlet gurgling river, so she hid her doubts in her heart, called out to Changling to help Hua Thirteen together, and followed Isha up the soft ladder.

"Isha, do you know where these caves came from? Who found out? Jingmo remembered that even the Peach Blossom Source recorded in the book had a origin that could be traced, and these stone caves were too coincidental to appear.

Isha recalls: "When I was very young, I heard about the existence of the cave, and at first I only knew that there was a mountain wall near the town, but then the people dared to go down to the bottom of the gorge and found the cave on the other side. ”

"Are there only these two caves that run through the mountain?" Jingmo felt more and more incredible.

"Yes." Isha nodded affirmatively, but then shook her head again, "Only these two can be found in a cave like this that leads from the bottom of the gorge to the top of the mountain. However, the tribesmen also found many half-hanging stone caves, all of which lead to a dead end halfway up the mountain. ”

Jingmo's doubts and uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger, she gently rubbed the stone wall, but found that in addition to being smooth or smooth, there was no trace of artificial chisel.

Jing Mo pondered for a moment, thought of a doubtful point and continued to ask: "Isha, you just said that there are many half-hanging stone caves, are there different stone caves in the mountains on both sides of the canyon?" For example, the caves on this side start from the bottom of the gorge and break into the mountains, while the opposite side is diametrically opposed? ”
