readx;? Yang Jing didn't expect Shen Tu to become so violent, Xu Sun Erniang suppressed him for a long time, so that after Shen Tu woke up, he didn't recognize Yang Jing and Lu Baiyu at all. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info ε…«β˜…δΈ€γγ.β˜…βˆšβˆš.

The importance of Shen Tu is undoubted, when Shen Tu escaped, Sun Erniang and the others got up together, rushed out of the door and wanted to chase out!

However, at this moment, Yang Jing shouted in a deep voice: "Wait!"

Feng Ruochen and the others heard Yang Jing stop drinking, and immediately stopped, and heard Yang Jing say in a low voice: "The Bamboo King can't let us go like this, if we all leave, there will definitely be big trouble, you stay here, I can chase it alone!"

As soon as Yang Jing said this, everyone calmed down, and after thinking about it carefully, Sun Erniang didn't know martial arts, and without the care of Shen Di at this time, to put it bluntly, it was a burden, and Wang Buliu couldn't even walk very well.

And the Bamboo King will definitely monitor them, and if the movement is too big, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Bamboo King.

It's also a shame that Yang Jing can still think of these side details at such a critical juncture, Feng Ruochen has made light achievements, martial arts are not bad, and there are hidden weapons by his side, but Yang Jing needs her to stay and sit in charge.

Everyone knew Yang Jing's temper and trusted Yang Jing's ability, and they all nodded at the moment, and before they could tell Yang Jing to act carefully, the latter had already followed the gods and hid into the stone path on the mountainside!

Yang Jing left in a hurry and failed to bring the bronze ancient knife, and the knife was too heavy to pursue, so Yang Jing gritted his teeth and followed the trail of the gods.

Although it was already night at this time, the peak of the island in the middle of the lake was the center of the sinkhole, and the mountainside was not far from the top of the mountain, that is to say, the ground was above the head, the stars and the moon were shining, and the palace on the top of the mountain was like a lighthouse, shining on half of the peak, and Yang Jing did not need to worry about lighting.

Although the palace of the Bamboo King is not small, there are also many Luo Demon Palace maids and archers in it, and Yang Jing chased it all the way out without encountering anyone who intercepted it.

The god in front of him seemed to be very familiar with the terrain, and after going around and around, he actually escaped from the palace, ran on the mountain road, and fled down the mountain.

Yang Jing can't fully trust the Bamboo King, and he is also silently remembering the route and terrain along the way, he has just walked through it in the daytime, and he is not too unfamiliar now, but he can also follow the gods as if he was leaving the ground.

Xu is afraid that the all-night carnival will attract the attention of the ground, the Yelang people have rested early, the entire underground world is extraordinarily quiet, there is no one on the road, occasionally encountering some stone armor Luo Demon warriors, and the gods can avoid them one by one.

Yang Jing was also stained with the light of the gods, and followed the gods to the foot of the mountain without danger.

At the foot of the mountain are the Luo Mo people and Luo Zhi people of the cloth class, these people are the phoenix tails of the Luo Mo people and the chicken heads of the Luo Zhi people, and their status is not up or down, most of them are craftsmen.

Although Yang Jing already knew that Shen Tu was from Luozhi, he didn't know where Shen Tu was going to flee, originally he wanted to capture Shen Tu back, but now he saw that Shen Tu was not running around like a headless fly, his escape route was very clear, not like he was fleeing, but like going home!

So Yang Jing immediately changed his attention, but followed Shen Tu not far away, and Shen Tu seemed to be caught in some kind of obsession, and he didn't pay attention to Yang Jing who was hanging behind his buttocks, and just ran forward with all his strength.

Seeing that he had passed through the artisan area at the foot of the mountain, Shen Tu had no intention of stopping, and he did not know how to use a canoe, so when he reached the lake, he plunged into the water and swam to the other side.

At this time, it was already the tail of early winter, the night was cold, this ice blue lake was underground water, cold and biting, Yang Jing wanted to use a canoe to pursue Shendi, but he was afraid of losing it, so he gritted his teeth and jumped into the water.

It's also a shame that Yang Jing didn't bring the bronze ancient knife, otherwise he would have been dragged down by the ancient knife, but now he is relaxed, but he can also keep up with the gods.

This lake is very large, earlier the bamboo king took them to take a canoe, it took a little half an hour, and now Shen Tu actually uses the way of swimming, Yang Jing is also hot-headed, and he only shows that his physical strength can't keep up with halfway through swimming.

Seeing that the gods in front of him were getting smaller and smaller, Yang Jing was also anxious, but he was powerless, so he could only tread water slowly and try to save his physical strength, otherwise he should drown in this ice lake.

By the time Yang Jing landed on the shore of the lake exhausted, Shen Tu had already run away.

Yang Jing lay on his back on the pebble beach, panting vigorously, mobilizing the internal strength of Jin Guan Yusuo, and only then did he stabilize his breathing.

This lake beach is full of pebbles, and the gods can't leave footprints on it, even if they stay, this place has entered the dark area, the starlight and the refracted light of the palace can't shine, and the surrounding is pitch black, and Yang Jing can't see any footprints.

"I'm still lost..."

Yang Jing smiled bitterly in his heart, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, he was helpless, if he drove a canoe, his rowing skills were unreliable, and he was tired half to death from swimming.

After resting on the lake beach for a while, Yang Jing recovered his vitality, and it was impossible to continue to pursue the gods, but he couldn't just go back.

After thinking for a while, Yang Jing stood up and walked to the cultivation area, and soon found a small green crop.

In fact, Yang Jing had already noticed this crop as early as the daytime, because it was winter, the temperature in the sinkhole was very low, and the light was not good, these crops were abnormally growing so luxuriantly, Yang Jing was also surprised in his heart.

Moreover, Yang Jing didn't recognize this crop, and his curiosity was troublesome, and he was already itching in his heart, but he actually just wanted to explore.

After all, Yang Jing and Mu Zi only planned to promote sweet potatoes in Jiangling, this crop can help the Yelang people survive the long winter, it must be a cold-resistant crop, if you find some seeds to take out, maybe it can be like sweet potatoes, for the benefit of the people.

Yang Jing walked to the ground and pulled out a crop, but because of the excessive force, the cane was torn off, and Yang Jing had to use his hands to dig out the rhizome of the crop.

"Luck is really good!" Yang Jing also laughed when Yang Jing dug out the fist-sized rhizome, because he had actually eaten this thing!

This crop, called kudzu potato, is only produced in Guangxi, but there are also some in Vietnam, and it is generally grown at lower altitudes, in the shade of shrubs on hillsides and in the mud of rocks.

This thing is the same as sweet potatoes, it is a grassy vine of the lily family Dioscaceae, and the edible part is also a rhizome.

Different from sweet potato, its rhizome is wrapped with a layer of tough thick skin, peel off the thick skin, can be edible, the rhizome is sweet and juicy, can be eaten raw, can also be cooked, and can also be used as medicine, has the effect of cough and expectorant, swelling and poisoning, insecticide and carbuncle.

This thing can grow in the cracks of the stone, which shows how tenacious the vitality is, the thick skin on the outside of the rhizome also gives it enough ability to withstand the cold, and its maturity period is in autumn and winter, so it can adapt to the environment of the sinkhole, and even the environment of the sinkhole is more suitable for its growth!

Yang Jing couldn't help but think of the record in the old doctor's notes, the descendants of the Yelang people have gone through thousands of years, and the descendants are mostly distributed in Guangxi and Guizhou.

It's just that Yang Jing didn't think so much about it now, after washing the kudzu potato, peeling off the thick skin, and taking a bite into it, it was like eating a frozen pear, sweet and juicy, and very crisp, and a little more chewy than a pear, it was really a good thing to quench your thirst and fill your stomach!

After eating kudzu potatoes, Yang Jing's strength also recovered a lot, and he didn't plan to go home, so he walked through the crop area and came to the slum in the dark.

There are shacks and grass huts everywhere, and there are also some low houses made of stone, or buildings made of rattan and mud, which look like large graves.

These Luozhi people are the bottom of the bottom, they can't even afford to live in the caves on the cliffs, they are the bottom of the food chain, and they are also the group of people who live the hardest life.

Seeing this situation, Yang Jing also felt some pity in his heart, these Luozhi people were like the "Gollum" in the movie demon world, dirty and despicable, as if they had been abandoned by the whole world.

Because there is no sunlight here all year round, the temperature has become lower, and there is no fire, Yang Jing is soaked, and he can only use his internal strength to keep out the cold, and he does not dare to make a fire, for fear of provoking these Luozhi people.

And by the glimmer of the lake and the temple, he walked all the way forward.

It was so quiet that there were whispers from time to time in the low, tomb-like building, as if hundreds of ghosts were floating behind it.

Yang Jing only felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at him everywhere he went, and his heart was always furious, and when he was hesitating to return, his heart suddenly throbbed inexplicably!

This feeling is like an irregular heartbeat, which makes people suddenly wake up, as if something is faintly calling you in front of you!

When the environment becomes quiet and isolated from all kinds of interference, people's intuition will become more sensitive, and Yang Jing has stepped into the dual realm of Jinguan and Yusuo, and his perception ability is even stronger than ordinary people.

At this time, feeling this abnormal atmosphere, Yang Jing walked forward step by step, he no longer even paid attention to the surrounding environment, he simply closed his eyes, just like the song sings, and followed his feelings.

When he opened his eyes again, Yang Jing's eyes couldn't help but light up!

Because at the foot of the cliff not far ahead, he actually saw a little light!

This light is like a firefly in a winter night, it looks so lonely and helpless, but it gives people infinite hope!

Yang Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked hard, it should be a cave at the foot of the cliff, and the fluorescence should be firelight!

Although he didn't ask the Bamboo King, since these Yelang people can grow crops, they should know how to use vegetable oil, and there are fish in the lakes and wild beasts in the mountains and forests, so they should also be able to use animal fat to light fires.

It seems that although some things have been wasted, judging from the food provided to them by the Bamboo King, the Yelang people definitely have this ability, besides, the cave is dripping water everywhere, all of them are cold stone milk, and the Luozhi people in it should know how to live and keep warm, otherwise they will not be clothed, they will be stone skin protectors, and they will not survive the cold winter.

Thinking so, Yang Jing came to the cave not far away, but Yang Jing thought about it, but hesitated.

Although he is an atheist, Yang Jing trusts his instincts a lot of the time, because he believes that intuition is a person's instinct, especially in times of danger, intuition can often save your life.

And no matter how strong your instincts are, it's impossible to get here without any bumps with your eyes closed, and there's something weird about it.

The reason why Yang Jing walked with his eyes closed, in addition to the darkness when he closed his eyes and opened his eyes, was more to confirm the speculation in his heart.

By the time he had successfully made it here, he was already very sure that this was not his intuition, but the call of the gods!

And after Shen Tu escaped from the palace, he was able to evade the guards of the Luo Demon People and come here all the way unimpeded, which shows that he is very familiar with this place, and he is not even crazy, but deliberately wants to lure Yang Jing here!

Yang Jing didn't know what was inside the cave, maybe it was a god, or maybe it was some Luozhi people, and it might put him in a life-and-death crisis.

So he had to think about the question, should he go in or not?
