Chapter 52: The Old Man of the Deep Valley
Ling Bo fell more than ten feet, the momentum was large, and the water was deep, and he unconsciously choked a few mouthfuls of water. But fortunately, it fell into a pool, otherwise it would have fallen into a mess of meat sauce. It's even more thanks to the fact that she grew up by the sea since she was a child, and she has excellent water nature, and she quickly poked her head out. It wasn't a lot of space, but there was still a big rock to climb on.
But deep underground, it was winter, and it was cold to the bones, and Ling Bo's body was wet, and it was even cooler to the bone. It's just that she has deep internal strength and strong self-luck, so she can barely suppress this cold air.
Then she looked around, and found that except for a few rocks, it was flowing water, and said to herself: "It's strange, this pool of water should be connected to the cold pool under the bright roof outside, but why is it not indicated on the map?" ”
She was talking in a low voice, but suddenly there were two laughs of "haha", which startled her and almost fell into the cold pool again. But soon someone spoke: "You girl is extraordinary, but the secret path was built by people, and later generations improved it, how could the predecessors know and draw good pictures?" ”
Ling Bo heard the sound and saw a faint light in a large rock on the southwest side, so he asked in a loud voice, "But is anyone there?" ”
I only heard the man: "This little baby talks so interestingly, it's not a human, is it a ghost?" The old man hasn't gone to the Netherworld yet. Ling Bo said in his heart: This person speaks so strangely, rudeness is not rudeness, but it is also foggy.
I became more and more curious, and I wanted to go over and take a look, but I saw that the rocks were widely spread over there, and it was not worth it to swim in the past, and it was not worth scratching myself. But if you use light skills to fly over, there is a distance of five zhang between them, although her light skills are good, but they have not reached the realm of floating on water. After thinking about it, he simply dragged off the big puff on his body and threw it into the water. Speaking of which, when they entered the secret path, Ling Bo was worried that Lu He or Yang Buregret would not have enough internal strength and would not be able to withstand the cold, but he didn't expect it to be used in his own place. The left foot was a little above the rock, and it had flown into the pool. When he was about to fall, he stepped on the big rock with his right foot again, and he jumped in relay and landed successfully on the small rock on the southwest side. She was afraid that it would be strange, so she climbed the rock with her left hand and pulled the big fish back with her right hand. Apparently he thought it was food, and was about to bite and eat it!
Ling Bo couldn't help but relax a little with joy in her heart, but the stone pool was soaked in steam, and the cave was wet and slippery, so she was also extremely careful to follow the light slowly to the southwest and even crawl, so she walked a few feet, and sure enough, there was a cave behind the huge rock. There was an old man with long hair and beard, and his clothes were almost rotten.
The place where he sat was a naturally occurring grotto, with no end in sight, and there was a large square hole on the top, through which the sunlight shone in, but the big hole was more than 100 zhang above the ground. Perhaps because of the sunshine, there are still a few trees growing here, but they are all low, because a pine tree is extremely tall and thin, and it cannot be said to be more than ten zhang high.
This scene greatly surprised Ling Bo, but fortunately, she reacted very quickly and asked, "Old man, did you talk to me just now?" ”
The old man nodded, but suddenly his body trembled, and he stammered: "You, you, you're back"
Ling Bo was inexplicable and said, "What did you say?" The old man immediately calmed down and said, "It's nothing, the old man is dizzy, he has seen the wrong person, and he thinks it is the old man who is visiting." ”
Ling Bo said in his heart: "I don't know how long I've been here, and I haven't seen you again, so naturally I recognize the wrong person." Suddenly, he thought again: "No, when those people in Mingjiao saw me just now, they all said that I looked very similar to my mother, could it be that he had also seen my mother?" That must also be a Mingjiao person. ”
However, Ling Bo has always had a lot of ghost eyes, and he doesn't ask questions directly. Instead, he said respectfully: "Is the old gentleman a member of the Ming Sect?" It is said that this secret passage is a sacred place for the Ming religion. Only the sect leader can enter, but the former sect leader Yang Dingtian has been missing for twenty or thirty years. ”
The old man's hair covered his face, and Ling Bo couldn't see his joy or anger, but just listened to him: "It's indeed stipulated in the canon, but little girl, are you the new leader of the Ming Sect?" Why else would it be here? ”
Ling Bo was stunned, and for a moment, he couldn't think of how to answer, but he heard the old man laugh again, "Don't be surprised, children, the old man has been here for too long, and he has been accompanied by these fish, shrimp and crabs, and it is rare for someone to talk, so he made a joke with you." Seriously, isn't there something wrong with Mingjiao, you had to come here and escape, but unfortunately inadvertently touched her transformation mechanism, and accidentally fell down. ”
Limbo never thought of him again. What happened these days was guessed by this old man in just a few words, if it weren't for the shrinking of his legs, he would never have been able to get out of here, just as he saw it with his own eyes. He immediately thought that he was already trapped here, could he get out, or five or five, why hide it anymore? So he nodded and said: "The predecessors have seen thousands of miles, and this is indeed the case." It is also in the concise language of the collection that Yang Dingtian is called divided after his disappearance and some misdeeds. What's more, this time the six major factions came to besiege Guangmingding, although although some of the Mingjiao themselves were uncomfortable, but more of them were provoked by Cheng Kun.
The old man listened, and suddenly said: "Wronged, wronged, Yang Dingtian is really a sinner of Mingjiao!" ”
Ling Bo felt that it was hard for him to say whether Yang Dingtian was a sinner of the Ming Sect, but for his mother, it was definitely a big disaster in his life, so he said, "The old-timers said it was over there, right?" It's just that you should also be a member of the Ming Sect, otherwise you wouldn't understand it so clearly. Suddenly he thought: "There are not many people in the high-level of the Ming Sect who have seen Guo Ruji, and he asked cautiously, "Is the predecessor the head of the legendary Four Dharma Kings, the 'Purple Shirt Dragon King'?" ”
The old man smiled and laughed at himself, "If I am the Dragon King, how can I stay in this cold pool for more than 20 years, so that my legs are crippled and I can't swim out?" ”
Ling Bo heard that his words were actually gloomy, and he was sad about his life experience, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of pity, and said: "If the seniors don't say it, the juniors don't ask, it's just that, but there is food here, I'll bake this big soup and put it on for you." ”
"You're a kind boy, and it's okay to make a fire here, but it's not easy. To learn from the ancients to drill wood for fire or ......" He may have not spoken to people for too long, and he didn't know how to communicate with people for a while, so he simply picked up a small pebble and slid violently between the gaps in the stones behind him.
Ling Bo was so shocked that he quickly brought some hay and branches, propped up a shelf to dry his clothes, and kept himself warm. After a while, the rice was already dry, and it exuded a thick warmth. Ling Bo didn't discuss with the old man, and immediately draped him behind him and tied him with a belt. The old man trembled again and said, "Girl, you and I just met in the water, and we don't even know each other's names, why are you so good to this old man?" ”
Ling Bo said bluntly: "I'm not a bodhisattva-hearted person, but I think that there is also a master at home, and when I see an old-timer, I think of him." "But he firmly believes that Zhang Sanfeng will not fall into such a situation." However, if the seniors want to know, the little woman has nothing to hide, and she is Yu Lingbo in Xiawu. ”
I was afraid that I would be scolded for being too bloody, so I shrank up
