"The first time I fell off the cliff, I was more excited." Shen Qingyi said.

Xiao Yan burst out laughing.

The smile almost broke off, and the right hand inserted into the cliff almost slipped off, and she quickly collected her thoughts.

"Down." Shen Qingyi's lips pressed against her ear.

Xiao Yan snorted.

Shen Qingyi's construction is very suitable.

The place where she was injured was still bleeding, and it was very exhausting to stabilize her body in the sandstorm by picking at the cliff like this, if she was alone, she would not be worried, but her left arm was still holding Shen Qingyi, Xiao Yan was worried that she would be exhausted if she hung like this, even if she was not exhausted, as long as her right hand was weak, she would fall down with Shen Qingyi, it was better to fall on the protruding rock when she was strong, so that she could have a foothold to breathe back.

She did as soon as she answered, picking at the cliff with her right hand and her feet. Alternately kick the cliff and slowly descend.

The most violent tornado has passed, but the sandstorm is wide, the sand wind is still raging, Xiao Yan moved down for a while, steady for a while, and stepped on the protruding stone after more than a dozen breaths.

She suddenly said "Huh", and Shen Qingyi asked, "What?" ”

"There's a cave here." She lifted her foot and kicked it in, turning her body to the right so that Shen Qingyi could see it with her side eyes.

It was a narrow hole, big enough for a man to walk in with a hunched body.

Shen Qingyi said, "I'll go in and take a look." ”

"No, in case of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects......"

"And you go in?" Shen Qingyi chuckled in her ear.

Xiao Yan didn't worry about leaving her alone on this rock that could only be footed, what if she was blown away by the wind?

Shen Qingyi let go of his hand, took out a silver needle from the cuff of the narrow-sleeved beard, and shook it in front of Xiao Yan's eyes, "Don't worry, I can't help it when I meet a master, I still have the power to protect myself when I encounter snakes and insects." ”

Xiao Yan saw her make a move in the medicine room, and with a wave of her hand, the silver needle was very accurately pierced into the wooden acupoint three feet away, even if she encountered a strong man, Xiao Yan would not worry, but this would be different, the hole was so small, and it was dark inside, in case there was something...... She didn't want to say yes.

Shen Qingyi saw that she was silent, and said, "I'll just go in a few steps, and you can come in and sit." ”

Xiao Yan thought to himself, just a few steps should be fine, so he said, "Okay." ”

She retreated to the right back, only one foot on the stone, her right hand picked at the cliff wall to make room, and her left hand protected Shen Qingyi, letting her bow in.

Shen Qingyi hunched over and walked a few steps inside, and with a startled sound, the person fell.

Xiao Yan was startled, bowed in, and found that the cave inside was hanging down suddenly, she jumped down without thinking about it, and made a jack drop to make the fall faster.

This fall is extremely deep, but fortunately, the cave is also wider, otherwise Xiao Yan would have to worry about falling and stepping on Shen Qingyi's head.

After seven or eight breaths, she caught up with Shen Qingyi's decline and shouted, "Sister! The right hand was propped up on the cave wall, so that the body fell to the outside of Shen Qingyi, the hand was loosened and continued to fall, and the left hand copied, holding Shen Qingyi's waist, and the two bodies continued to fall, Xiao Yan's right hand inserted into the cave wall to stop the fall, and said eagerly: "Is my sister injured?" ”

"Nope."

Her voice was still like a cold spring stream, calm and cool, and she didn't hear the slightest hint of fright, presumably the sudden exclamation before was also a warning.

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good if you don't have it." ”

Shen Qingyi stretched out her hand to touch the cave wall, she felt that it was very damp, when she first fell, she reached out and touched the cave wall, and she felt a little damp, but it was already very wet here, and there were water stains on her fingers.

"There may be a river underground." She speculated.

It is very strange that there is a river underground in the Gobi Desert, but there are all kinds of wonders in the world, just like there is a lake in the depths of the desert that will not dry up for a hundred years, and the creation of heaven and earth is always magical.

Xiao Yan didn't care about the underground river, she felt that Shen Qingyi's body was cold, and her cheeks were also cold, and she felt that it was too wet and cold in this cave to be bad for her, so she said, "Let's go up first?" ”

Shen Qingyi didn't answer and asked her, "Where are you hurt?" ”

Xiao Yan hesitated and said, "Left rib, abdomen." ”

Shen Qingyi reached out and touched her ribs, and the blood was sticky with one hand.

She felt a slight pain in her heart and said, "Let's go down." ”

She was worried about Xiao Yan's injuries - it was obviously more laborious to grasp the cave wall upward, but it was easier to fall down, "The humidity here is so heavy, it's probably not far from the river." There should be a place to settle by the river, you breathe first to stop the bleeding, and then we will go up. Don't worry about your fourth brother, the hidden guard has already gained the upper hand, and he will be fine. ”

Xiao Yan responded: "Okay." The right hand left the cave wall, and the two fell down again.

It fell seven or eight feet downward, and the humidity became heavier and heavier. After a few feet of landing, I could faintly hear the murmuring of the river, and the clammy and cold wind with a slightly fishy smell. Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and picked at the cave wall, the cave wall here had hardened, not the kind of gravel that had chips when he grabbed it, but a very hard rock.

A few feet later, the sound of water was close to my ears. Further down, it suddenly becomes clear. It's not the kind of sudden opening in the light, but the kind of sudden opening that comes out of a cramped hole to an open place.

The two hung at the mouth of the cave.

Xiao Yan squeezed his right hand on the rock at the entrance of the cave, listening to the sound of flowing water, there should be a long river below. She wasn't sure if it was already under the cliff, but judging by the distance, it must have been forty or fifty feet from the hole where they had fallen. It was all dark, there was no light, only the sound of the river flowing and the creeping of insects.

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if there are insects crawling, it means that there is a place to settle, and there is not much sound of rustling, which means that the place where it falls will not be a nest of insects.

Shen Qingyi said: "Don't go down yet." She picked the sandalwood beads on her left wrist and handed it to Xiao Yan's left hand that was holding her waist, "You use these beads to determine the direction." ”

Xiao Yan said: "Sister is so smart. ”

With the force of her left hand, she broke the silk rope of the beads, and the beads shot towards the place where there was a rustling sound, and she heard a deep sound when she landed, "It should be a rock." "I flicked seven or eight beads around that direction, and there was the sound of falling water, which was estimated to be the size of the rock." Sister, we went down. With his left arm in his arms, he swept in that direction.

The landing was very hard, and sure enough, it was rock. Xiao Yan walked a few steps cautiously, feeling like a big rock by the river sloping downward.

Shen Qingyi said, "Let me down." ”

Xiao Yan heard the sound of rustling around him, and he didn't know what kind of insects and pigs it was, and remembered that there were insects that gnawed human flesh and blood in the "Chronicles of Foreign Objects in the Mountains and Seas", so he didn't dare to let Shen Qingyi go down, and said, "There may be foreign bodies." ”

Shen Qingyi chuckled and said, "I'll stand by your side and don't go anywhere else." You let me down first, pranayama and heal my wounds. If you lose too much blood and faint, if there is a foreign body, you will not be able to save me. ”

Xiao Yan thought for a moment, "Okay. Stretched out his feet and took a few steps forward, feeling that there was nothing unusual, so he put Shen Qingyi down, but his arms were still around her waist, and said, "Sister, you just stand still like this." I'm lucky to breathe every week. ”

Shen Qingyi said: "Okay, I won't move." ”

Xiao Yan closed his eyes and breathed.

Her internal strength is not limited to posture, sitting, lying, walking, and boxing can be, but walking to be distracted, the effect is not as good as sitting, lying and standing, the most important thing is to calm the mind, no distractions, you can settle down.

Shen Qingyi listened to her breathing long and soft, worried about disturbing her, her still body remained motionless, treating herself as a stake, and her breathing was suppressed and became gentle.

It was very quiet in the darkness, except for the murmur of the underground river and the rustling of insects.

The cold fragrance on Shen Qingyi's body and the agarwood incense on Xiao Yan's body lingered together, adding a bit of quiet fragrance to the lightness.

The aroma was so tranquil that even the darkness around her made her feel at ease.

But there was a kind of dryness in this tranquility, not heat, but a restlessness, indescribable, but her heart was beating very steadily, as slowly as her breathing.

Shen Qingyi closed his eyes and silently recited "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing: Su Wen".

Her mind calmed down.

Before she finished reciting the first volume, Xiao Yan's voice sounded in her ears, "Sister." ”

"Okay?" Shen Qingyi opened her eyes and raised her hand, only then did she feel that her fingers were cold, the temperature of the underground river was already low, and her body temperature was also low, she had not moved for too long, and her legs and feet were numb.

Xiao Yan said: "Okay, there is no more bloodshed." However, her internal qi only recovered by three points, and she was afraid that there would be danger in this darkness, so she did not dare to breathe for too long.

Shen Qingyi stretched out his hand and touched her left rib first, the blood on her clothes was half dry, and no new blood came out, and then touched her abdomen, there was a large patch of half-dried blood, but there was no new blood coming out, so he was relieved and asked again: "Did you bring the blood tonic pill?" ”

Xiao Yan said: "I only brought the bottle for internal injuries." Everything else is in the bag. ”

Shen Qingyi frowned, "In the future, internal injuries, blood supplements, external injury hemostatic creams, and antidote pills will all be carried with you." ”

Xiao Yan said casually, "Okay", and was scolded by Shen Qingyi, "Don't be perfunctory!" ”

Xiao Yan had no choice but to respond seriously, worrying about how to fit in his sleeve pocket.

Shen Qingyi moved his numb foot and said, "The hidden guard should follow your dripping blood to find here, and we will wait here." She was worried that if Xiao Yan exerted her strength, the wound would burst again.

Xiao Yan felt that this was fine, and responded. She leaned over, picked up Shen Qingyi's leg with her right hand, and hugged her horizontally.

Shen Qingyi was surprised, "What are you doing?" ”

Xiao Yan said: "My sister has been standing for so long, motionless, her legs should be numb." As he spoke, the left palm that was holding her shoulder moved to her vest, and a stream of internal qi was infused into it, walking through her meridians.

Shen Qingyi felt that her cold and numb legs gradually warmed up, and pressed her palm on her shoulder, "Okay, don't be too strenuous . ”

Xiao Yan's cheek was pressed against her face, "It's still cold." ”

Shen Qingyi smiled, "It's also cold in the summer." "She was born with this physique, no matter how hot the summer is, it is cool and sweatless.

"This is qi and blood deficiency." Xiao Yan said seriously.

Shen Qingyi didn't answer this, and slapped her, "It's really warm." ”

Xiao Yan retracted his internal force, wrapped his left arm down around her waist, and still hugged her.

Shen Qingyi's breathing was a little short, and he pressed his palm on her shoulder, and said, "Ah Yan, let me down." ”

Xiao Yan felt that it was black and numb here, and he didn't know what was in the dark, maybe there would be strange things jumping out of the river, such as crocodiles or something, it was safer to hold Shen Qingyi, so he said: "There are insects here, don't climb into your boots." When someone comes down, I'll let my sister go. He also emphasized, "Just now I let go of my sister, and my sister fell." ”

Shen Qingyi: "......" Is this an accident?

Xiao Yan was extremely stubborn at this time.

Shen Qingyi said that he couldn't move her, sighed lowly, and leaned forward, letting Xiao Yan hold her with less effort.

The breath of the two lingered, and the aroma lingered together.

In the dark, this sense is countless times clearer.

Shen Qingyi suppressed his breathing and heartbeat, but his calm mind was still chaotic.

Xiao Yan suddenly said, "Someone has come down." ”

In an instant, a voice came from above the entrance of the cave: "Young lady, Seventeen Langjun?" I'm Xiao Song. Is it below? ”

Xiao Yan heard the voice of Xiao Song, the deputy leader of the hidden guard, she had heard his affairs beside the fourth brother, so she put down Shen Qingyi and raised her voice: "I and the fourth sister-in-law are below." There is a river below the entrance of the cave, be careful. ”

And the light of the fire came through.

Xiao Song jumped down with a torch, and was relieved to see that Xiao Yan and Shen Qingyi were safe and sound.

Shen Qingyi had already taken a few steps away from Xiao Yan in the light of the fire, and asked with concern, "Shilang Ke'an?" Can the thief be returned? ”

Xiao Song approached and replied, "Lang Jun'an." Four thieves ran away, and the rest were executed. ”

"Fourth brother is fine." Xiao Yan laughed, and then he was completely relieved.

Xiao Song said: "Lang Jun knows that you have fallen off the cliff, and he is very anxious. Young lady, Seventeen Langjun, let's hurry up. ”

Xiao Yan had already looked around in the light of the fire, and was about to respond to the "okay" when he sighed and said, "There seems to be someone over there." ”

Xiao Song was startled, his right hand had pressed the knife, he only heard two breaths, where was the third person?

Shen Qingyi also saw it, "It seems to be ...... Corpse? ”

Xiao Song held a torch and shone it over, and saw a skeleton in clothes leaning on the stone wall in the corner of the stone wall more than ten zhang away.

"Let's take a look." Shen Qingyi said.

She knew that Xiao Cong was safe and sound, so she didn't rush to go up, at least to find out who died here.

Xiao Yan was also very curious, so he walked over first and said, "Sister-in-law, be careful." ”

Shen Qingyi followed her, and Xiao Song took a step behind with a torch to light Shen Qingyi's way.

In terms of seniority, Xiao Song is the uncle of Xiao Cong and Xiao Yan, but in terms of clan blood, he has been outside the five suits, and he was only included in the hidden guard because of his martial arts talent, and he enjoyed the treatment within the five suits.

The three approached.

The skeleton sat under the stone wall, wearing a blue wide-sleeved robe with no belt around the waist, which was worn by scholars in their homes, and was not usually worn outside. There is also a possibility that this is a robe, and the style of the two is similar. The robe worn by this skeleton has a three-inch wide edge, and the straight coat of the scholar is generally not edged, so it should be a Taoist robe.

Is this a Taoist priest who died?

Or is it a layman who practices as a layman?

Xiao Yan saw a black sign hanging from the skeleton's neck with a black rope, about three inches long and wide, and the sign was engraved with three seal characters.

She sighed in her heart, turned her head to look at Shen Qingyi, and said, "Sister-in-law, the card is engraved with ...... 'Dao Xuanzi'." ”

Shen Qingyi stood on the ground in shock.

Her face changed suddenly when she fell off the cliff.

The author has something to say: the author's three views are very positive, you have to be patient when you read the text, the world is wonderful, and the fate is also wonderful, you don't know when it will be tossed and how it will turn, so the protagonist in the fate must be resolute in order to face such a fate, and those who read the text must also be resolute (haha)
