Chapter 15: The Cave
The cave was very cold and damp, and the rocks under his feet were slippery, and even though he couldn't see clearly, he knew that he must be covered with moss.

The cave was quiet, with the occasional drop of water dripping and striking the stone with a crisp and ethereal sound that reverberated non-stop.
"It's a labyrinth, don't get scattered. Mo Wunian suddenly spoke.
Si Heng was taken aback by the sudden voice, and only then did he realize that it was Mo Wunian, and he couldn't help but be annoyed: "I don't know it's going to scare people to death!
"I used to spend a year in this mountain when I was cultivating magic tricks, and when I broke through this cave, I went around the labyrinth for four days, and when I was almost dying, I walked out inexplicably, and I was already on the other side of the mountain. Mo Wunian pondered for a while and spoke, maybe it was because of several common tribulations, and his wariness of Si Heng was also small.
"What? Aren't you a prince? Your father let you run here alone?"
"Escape. My father searched for a year and dragged me back from the mountain. Mo Wunian didn't want to talk too much about the past.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Si Heng noticed that Mo Wunian was depressed, and diverted the topic, "So you don't know how to get through this maze?"
"I don't know, it's pitch black, I don't even know where I'm going. Not to mention the fact that so many years have passed. ”
The cave fell silent again, except for the sound of dripping water and footsteps. As I walked, the footsteps seemed to be softer.
"Si Heng?" Mo Wunian suddenly realized that something was wrong and said loudly.
There was silence.
Mo Wunian's heart tightened and stopped. There was no other sound around.
"Si Heng!" Mo Wunian shouted, but did not answer, and the empty echo slowly subsided.
"How come!When did the footsteps disappear?" Mo Wunian was stunned in his heart, but he still kept his calm. This cave is not just a labyrinth, there must be another mystery, but now I don't have the time and energy to study, since I was able to get out of the beginning, I can also go out now.
Mo Wunian settled his mind and continued to trek in the darkness. The road in the cave is high and low, crooked, crooked, if it is an ordinary person, it is inevitable to bump and bump, Mo Wunian has a good perception of the environment, and it is quite smooth to walk. There is no concept of time in the dark, there is no sense of progress, I don't know if I am still advancing, it is also a big test for my mind, but Mo Wunian is also very human, and the cultivation of magic tricks makes his heart extremely resolute - or cold, in short, it is difficult to give birth to despair.
"Trapped. I don't know how long I walked, Mo Wunian knew that he really couldn't get out, and he was not annoyed, and continued to walk in the dark leisurely.
"Hmm...... Not...... It's so cold......" A soft murmur came from behind.
Mo Wunian was stunned for a moment, knowing that Meng Qianwu was a little awake, stopped, untied the rope and put down Meng Qianwu, and wrapped his arms around Meng Qianwu's shoulders to support her, Mo Wunian felt that Meng Qianwu's body was very cold and trembling slightly.
"No, her body is too weak, and the cold in the cave is too heavy. After hesitating repeatedly, Mo Wunian hugged her and hugged her into his arms.
The dress Meng Qianwu was wearing was not thick, her body fell softly on Mo Wunian's body, and her head leaned on Mo Wunian's shoulder unconsciously. Mo Wunian looked at Meng Qianwu, and there seemed to be a tenderness in his eyes. Hum. Mo Wunian's heart was shocked, and he used the magic trick, and after a while, his eyes returned to indifference and ruthlessness.
Meng Qianwu was groggy and seemed to be about to wake up but couldn't wake up, she only felt so cold and cold, as if she was imprisoned on a glacier and couldn't get rid of it, this feeling tormented her. Suddenly, a warm current poured into her body, not driving away all the cold, but steadily giving her heat, still lying on the glacier and unable to move, but like when she was a child, she hugged the warm stone that was heating at home, that kind of stability and calm. Snuggling up to the warmth, Meng Qianwu only felt very relieved, gradually stopped babbling, and her body slowly relaxed.
"Ah!!" Meng Qianwu opened her eyes, shocked to find that it was dark all around, and she was actually being held in her arms, so she instinctively exclaimed in surprise and struggled.
"You're awake, sorry. Mo Wunian naturally let go of Meng Qianwu and said calmly.
"You, who are you, where is this!" Meng Qianwu was a little flustered, but her intuition told her that it was better not to run around.
"I'm Mo Wunian, you saved me. Mo Wunian said flatly.
"Oh yes, I remembered. Where is this? What about Siheng? We ...... Escaped, why is it so dark!" Meng Qianwu was a little relieved, but did not completely let down her vigilance.
"No, it's not good. Mo Wunian quickly explained the current situation.
"That'...... What are I going to do?"
"Keep walking until you get out. Mo Wunian said, grabbing Meng Qianwu's wrist.
"What are you doing!" Meng Qianwu wanted to shake it off, but found that her strength was too small.
"Si Heng has been separated from me, and if I don't catch you, I'm afraid we'll be separated too. Mo Wunian's voice still did not fluctuate.
"You ......" Meng Qianwu wanted to say something, but Mo Wunian, who never had a trace of emotion, couldn't lose his temper, he couldn't beat him, and yelling was even more useless, as if he was punched in the air. But...... The warmth of his powerful palm seemed so familiar, so reassuring......
"Why are they chasing you?" asked Mo Wunian.
"This is our secret and we can't tell you. Meng Qianwu said categorically.
"So, are they trying to catch you, or are they trying to kill you?"
"If you can, the living are always worth more than the dead. But they must have killed me, too. ”
"That's trouble. ”
"What do you mean?"
"If the officers who command them are vicious enough, we will die with a single fire. ”
"No, once a fire breaks out in the mountain, it can't be extinguished, and then the mountain will die!"
"Don't doubt whether they have the courage to do so, the world is different now than before. Even in the past, in front of a secret that must be destroyed, some people are ruthless and you can't imagine it. ”
"Before...... Is it ruthless? And what about you?"
"Me?"
"I think you have something very heavy in your heart. Will you do something vicious for something?"
"I've done it before. Mo Wunian was silent for a long time, then said sadly, and his tone calmed down again, "Don't ask this." ”
"Oh, don't ask, don't ask. ”
The two men continued walking in silence. Mo Wunian was already silent, but Meng Qianwu didn't know what she was thinking, and was still pulled away by Mo Wunian.
“...... Thank you. Mo Wunian suddenly spoke, "I know something about the secret art of the Hidden Bamboo...... My Hurt ...... You ......"
"It's all about it, what are you talking about? I'm also doing it for myself. Meng Qianwu seemed to be indifferent, "Youzhu has a very good environment, and it has a much longer life than ordinary people, so it's not too much of a problem." If it weren't for the fact that you could withstand such a terrible injury, it would have been very powerful enough to take me away and leave you alone. ”
"I owe you five years. Mo Wunian said flatly.
Meng Qianwu was stunned, lowered her head, and seemed to have something more in her heart.
"But you know what...... I used such a secret technique once more than a year ago. Meng Qianwu said in a low voice, "He also promised that his life is mine." ”
