Chapter Thirty-Seven: Escape
Opening his heavy eyelids, Mu Yi only felt that his entire head was in pain.
Then there were scenes in my head of memories of before I fell into a coma. Shocked, Mu Yi immediately turned over and sat up to look at the place where the strange tree was.
However, in the place where the strange tree took root before, Mu Yi found that everything had disappeared at this time.
The strange-looking strange tree seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace at the moment, and under the stone where the strange tree was rooted, Mu Yi also didn't find anything.
Only the rock where the strange tree had roots was still full of cracks, lying there silently, telling me that none of this was an illusion, that everything that had happened before had actually happened.
Hurriedly turning his head to look at his side, Mu Yi found that Shangguan Qingwan was also lying on the ground, still unconscious.
Although Mu Yi was in unbearable pain at that time, he still clearly felt Shangguan Qingwan on the side holding his left hand.
Leaning down, Mu Yi hurriedly helped Shangguan Qingwan up, feeling that Shangguan Qingwan was breathing evenly, her pulse was stable, and there was no danger to her life, Mu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't know what happened before the two of them fell unconscious, Mu Yi felt that there was no discomfort in his body, and there was nothing unusual.
Despite this, Mu Yi was still helpless about Shangguan Qingwan's coma, so he had to wait patiently on the side.
It didn't take long for Shangguan Qingwan to open her hazy eyes.
The misty mist floated above the blue lake like a dream, and a deep black line of purple separated the incompatible water and fire on the left and right.
"Do you know what happened to that strange tree?" Mu Yi thought that Shangguan Qingwan had been a teaching assistant in the academy for many years, and she was with the dean of the academy, so she should know what happened to the two of them.
But to Mu Yi's disappointment, Shangguan Qingwan shook her head, indicating that she didn't know anything.
Although she didn't know, Shangguan Qingwan said that she would ask Wu Xueqing for advice when she returned to the academy.
Speaking of the academy, Mu Yi remembered that the two of them were still trapped in this underground cave, and the previous purpose of the two was to escape from this world through another dark river.
After resting for a while, when he felt the pain in his brain gradually disappear, Mu Yi even felt a cool feeling fill his eyebrows.
Thinking that this was an illusion after a coma, Mu Yi didn't pay much attention to it.
So the two of them crossed the cold blue lake and returned to the clearing under the cliff.
Looking back at the place where the strange tree grew, Mu Yi finally stopped paying attention.
Sometimes, things that he can't solve, if he keeps flooding his mind, will make Mu Yi very uncomfortable, so most of the time, Mu Yi will selectively leave it behind when he encounters such a situation.
Along the dark river with Shangguan Qingwan, Mu Yi and the two embarked on the journey home again.
There is no magma in this dark river, so the further you go, the darker it becomes.
Fortunately, on the top of the Dark River Cave, sometimes Mu Yi would see many crystalline filamentous things, trembling and slow, and the filamentous things glowed with a little blue-white light from time to time.
Therefore, with these lights, Mu Yi and the others don't need to worry about being completely blind.
The further up the cave went, the narrower it became, and the space for the two to walk under their feet became smaller and smaller, and finally the two of them had nowhere to step on their feet, so they had to go against the current, step on the deep water that did not reach the instep, and continue to walk upward.
Mu Yi judged from the trend of this cave and the flow of the river that this dark river should originate in a lake, so when the two of them reached the place where the water was drained below the lake, they would face a serious challenge.
But apart from this dark river, there was no other way to leave this underground cave, so Mu Yi and the others had no choice.
The water in the dark river is getting deeper and deeper, and Mu Yi also knows that the two of them are already close to the exit.
Finally, the cave came to an end, and a curtain of rushing water blocked the two of them.
The top-down water continued to flow towards the dark river, and through the water curtain, Mu Yi saw a huge water hole appear on top of the cave overhead.
The water hole is not much wider, and the lake above is constantly pouring down through the water hole.
Fortunately, this water hole is wide enough, otherwise, Mu Yi doesn't know if he can carry the water flow and swim out of the lake smoothly with his current uncultivated body.
They continued to walk a distance inside, and chose a place where the water was relatively slow, from which the two of them prepared to dive out.
Hugging Shangguan Qingwan's slender waist, feeling Shangguan Qingwan's delicate body trembling slightly, Mu Yi couldn't calm down in his heart.
But there is no other choice, if Shangguan Qingwan is allowed to swim up from here alone, it is basically impossible, not to mention the resistance of the water, the danger of suffocation alone makes it impossible for Mu Yi to make such a choice.
Although Mu Yi has now lost the ability to mobilize the power of qi and blood all over his body, the physical strength of the martial artist has not been lost, and with the physique of the martial artist who has reached the peak of the realm, Mu Yi still has the confidence to pass through this water flow.
Through the faint light, Mu Yi saw Shangguan Qingwan's slightly trembling eyelashes, and no longer hesitated, Mu Yi kissed Shangguan Qingwan's delicate red lips again.
Mu Yi only felt that he had touched a piece of cold and soft, and he held back the thoughts in his heart, and with the strength of his feet, Mu Yi hugged Shangguan Qingwan and jumped into the icy water.
The dark and cold lake water covered Mu Yi's cheeks, and Mu Yi tried his best to swim with all his strength.
"Whoa!" a sound of breaking water suddenly broke the calm water, startling a flock of waterfowl that were leisurely and idly foraging and playing on the water.
The panicked waterfowl flapped their wings and fanned across the lake, causing a large splash of water, and finally the embarrassed waterfowl swooped into the distant sky without looking back.
The moment he rushed out of the water, Mu Yi finally felt the warm sunshine that he had not seen for a long time.
The dazzling light was so dazzling that Mu Yi could barely open his eyes.
After getting used to it for a while, Mu Yi saw a round sun hanging high in the sky, hanging above the cloudless sky.
Under the full sun, there are mountains and mountains, and the huge snow-capped peaks that rise into the sky emit a faint bright light under the illumination of the sun.
Under the snow peak, a green and fluffy grassland appeared in front of Mu Yi's eyes again, and on the grass, tall and fat alpine takin were leisurely strolling on the flat grass.
I have never felt that the sun in the sky is so nostalgic, and in the dark world underground, there is nothing lacking, and the only thing that is lacking is this round sun.
Feeling the warmth of the warmth, Mu Yi sighed at the vitality of this surface world.
The lake is not very large, but sits at the foot of many snow-capped peaks, collecting streams of snow water that melt from the top of the peaks, and transporting this inexhaustible source to the huge underground cavern through the huge cave at the bottom of the lake.
Mu Yi and Shangguan Qingwan swam across this turquoise lake and went up to the shore of the lake.
Mu Yi picked up a lot of dead branches from under the lonely small trees in the field behind him, and then returned to the lake and lit a bonfire.
Subsequently, Mu Yi caught a few fat fish from the lake and put them above the flames.
Mu Yi and Shangguan Qingwan sat opposite each other, but they were relatively speechless, and the two of them just waited quietly for the fat fish on the fire to ripen thoroughly.
The bright sun shone on the vast land below, and the green barren grass hung down their tough waists, nestled together in a mess.
There was not the slightest wind in the whole field, not even the slightest hot wind, and there was peace between heaven and earth.
On the edge of the blue lake, under a large tree that grew luxuriantly, a bright fire flashed from time to time, and the straight smoke swirled upwards through the lush branches and leaves, until it drifted upwards and finally disappeared into the blue sky.
I don't know how many days I've eaten grilled fish, but none of them have tasted so sweet as they are now.
Although there are no accessories, Mu Yi still feels that this grilled fish is extremely comfortable, probably related to the relief that the two of them finally escaped.
Either way, it's thankful.
Maybe after bad luck, good luck began to favor the two.
After resting by the lake for a while, Mu Yi and Shangguan Qingwan set off and set off, chose a certain direction, and kept walking forward.
You must know that this is on the deserted land, if you go in the wrong direction, you will not necessarily come across a populated place if you walk tens of thousands of miles.
And after Mu Yi and Shangguan Qingwan left the lake, they didn't go far before they came across a snow-white galloping road, and the dazzling white light seemed to be able to melt the ice for thousands of years in an instant.
After taking a carriage galloping on the galloping road, Mu Yi's hanging heart finally let go at this time. As long as you can return to a capital town, it will no longer be a problem to return to the sister capital.
About a day later, the carriage arrived in a bustling town.
The town is called Sister Yuan Town, which is a small town under the jurisdiction of Sister Capital, located in the east of Sister Capital, Mu Yi only then remembered that he had been in this town when he entered Sister Capital from Fengdu.
Unexpectedly, he and Shangguan Qingwan actually wandered from the south of the sister capital to the east of the sister capital, but fortunately they did not stay away from the range of the sister capital, and the two did not make any mistakes.
Later, after inquiring, Mu Yi learned that the two of them had been lost in the underground cave for more than ten days. When I was underground, I didn't feel how fast time passed, I thought that only six or seven days had passed, but I didn't want time to pass so quickly.
I don't know if the two lecturers and other students of the academy have returned to the academy safely? Have the people in the academy given up on themselves and Shangguan Qingwan? I don't know what happened to Xue'er?
Thinking of this, Mu Yi suddenly wanted to return to the academy immediately, this mood was so urgent.
But Mu Yi also understood that it was impossible for him to fly back to the academy immediately, so he had to suppress the eagerness in his heart, find an inn, prepare to rest for the night, and set off to return to the academy the next day.
