Chapter 42: The Last Snow
Zong Yang cultivated the sword intent, that scene Su Ying did not see with her own eyes, when she woke up, the decapitated nine-eyed lava salamander had disappeared, only Zong Yang was meditating quietly with a sword pinned to his waist, and a small sun suspended behind him shone a few feet in a radius.
The corpse pattern Gu poison was still raging in the body, the color changed from demon red to dark purple, Su Ying knew that it would not be long before he would worry about his life, but what could he do if he was trapped in this underground cave. In fact, Su Ying had a more pessimistic thought, that is, this thing was so vicious, even if he was at the Ethereal Peak at this time, the master might not be able to drive away this corpse pattern Gu poison. Perhaps Zong Yang sensed Su Ying's movement, slowly opened his eyes, and asked, "How are you?" ”
Su Ying finally spoke this time and replied, "It's okay. ”
Zong Yang watched the dark purple corpse pattern Gu poison continue to loom on Su Ying's fair face, knowing that she was in danger, where did she come from, but he felt a pain in his heart for no reason, and said: "Maybe the Prajna Sun Essence Sutra I cultivated can drive away the poison in your body, and my two friends were saved by me when they were poisoned by the corpse horseshoe crab in the Yin Earth Ghost Ruins." ”
Hearing this, Su Ying also agreed with Zong Yang's point of view, Yin and Yang restrain each other, the corpse pattern of the Yan King is poisoned to the yin, and the Prajna Sun Essence Sutra cultivated by Zong Yang is the purest to the yang, and when it first emerges, it seems to be as good as the god-level exercises treasured in the Daomen giants. At this time, Su Ying had some other ideas, a high-grade sword and god-level exercises, where did Zong Yang come from? At least in the Yanlong Empire, I have never heard of such a disciple with extraordinary qualifications being born, and I don't know where the Dao Sect is so generous, even a disciple of the Awakening Spirit Realm can have a high-grade sword, isn't he afraid of being robbed? For example, the two major Zen sects of the Eight Great Daomen, for the super genius disciples who were born out of nowhere, although the whole body is a treasure artifact, but who doesn't hide them and protect them, how can they be let out and wander alone.
In fact, Su Ying underestimated a little, Zong Yang's lack of anger is not only a high-grade sword.
"It's like I don't have a choice." After some chaotic thinking, Su Ying said indifferently, there was endless helplessness in his words, but there was a little bit of contempt for life and death.
Zong Yang smiled slightly, embarrassed: "But the power of the sun in my body now is too little, I must leave here first to see the light of day, just now I used my divine sense to walk along the underground dark river, and found that there is an upward passage, but the distance is too far, I can't determine where this passage leads." ”
Su Ying was surprised when she heard this, what realm of divine consciousness is this, it's really a bit fantastical! With the fact that she was the Ten Directions Dao Monarch, she couldn't use her divine sense to such a subtle level.
Zong Yang completely embarrassed the genius disciples of the younger generation of the Ethereal Peak and even the entire Yanlong Empire, and for Zong Yang, who was accustomed to using his divine sense to perceive the fish swimming in the Lancang River under the mountain, this ability was a matter of course for him when he was promoted to the Enlightenment Spirit Realm.
Su Ying decided to sneak into the underground river with Zong Yang and go straight downstream, and then enter the upward passage, as for whether to escape alive or buried in the dark underground, it is up to fate, at least there are people to accompany them along the way, but they are not alone. The two gradually chatted with each other, although there were not many words, but they could dispel the loneliness, and as long as Su Ying eased some of his physical strength, the two were about to leave. During the period, it was mentioned that the demon beast was thrown into the underground river by Zong Yang and washed away, Su Ying sighed that it was a pity, even if the Yuan Dan of a demon beast was not used for alchemy, it was worth 10,000 gold just by selling it on the market, which was really a tyrannical thing. As for which blue light spots in the dark river, it turned out to be yin spirit leeches, which are some yin souls that are too deep to enter the underworld after the death of people remain in the underground yin water, and live by absorbing yang.
While chatting, the entire crypt suddenly began to shake violently.
On the ground hundreds of feet away from here, it is the Yin Earth Ghost Ruins.
At this time, the Yin Earth Ghost Ruins, the black clouds in the air above were like a giant dragon circling and rushing into the ancient city, the stone tablets at the four corners were full of green light, the ancient city was shaking violently, there should be some big array in operation, and the black clouds that rushed into turned into black dust and began to cover the entire ancient city.
And in the crypt, the top began to collapse violently, and after Zong Yang and Su Ying exchanged a look, they picked her up and jumped into the underground dark river, and after the rumbling sound in the rear was far away, the two had already swam a hundred feet away with the undercurrent.
Everything is quiet, for Zong Yang and Su Ying, the time to hold their breath can be very long, under the light of the faint sun, there are plankton like dust all around them, and on the periphery, it is the Yin spirit leech that is chasing after it!
Yin spirit leeches were very afraid of the sun's rays, and their faces were hideous, as if they wanted to vent all their grievances after death on Zong Yang and Su Ying. More and more Yin Spirit Leeches swam over, forming a huge cluster of blue light, and were washed along the undercurrent into the endless darkness.
Time is passing, but Zong Yang is facing a dangerous situation.
Because the undercurrent in the underground river is turbulent, it is necessary to carry it upstream when there is still some distance from that ascending channel, so that you can enter the ascending passage smoothly. If you go upstream, you will only hit the rock wall, and if you are late, you will be washed into the main road downstream, and you will really die.
But Zong Yang never expected that the crazy Yin Spirit Leeches would linger and form a ball of light, and Zong Yang's divine consciousness was actually covered by them.
Don't miss that upward channel!
Zong Yang originally walked side by side with his right arm around Su Ying's waist, but at this time he had to hold her into his arms with his left hand, Su Ying's face was attached to Zong Yang's chest, although the mood fluctuated and a few bubbles overflowed from the corners of his mouth, but he was still content with the status quo. Zong Yang's right hand pulled out the back of his waist, and after the big black sword appeared, he slashed towards the Yin Spirit Leech, who knew that these Yin Spirit Leeches quickly surrounded after dodging, and they never wanted to miss these two rare living people. Zong Yang used the power of the sun again in a hurry, and the sword qi with the golden black flame finally dispersed the Yin Spirit Leech extremely far, and when he probed it, he happened to find that the ascending channel was not far away.
Heaven will not kill me!
Zong Yang inserted his right arm and swung it with all his might, holding Su Ying and swimming towards the ascending passage, what made Zong Yang even more ecstatic was that his divine consciousness clearly perceived that the end of the passage was an exit full of light!
The Yin Spirit Leech who was scared away by the sword qi chased after him, Zong Yang no longer cared about them, and let them surround him, but there were unforeseen circumstances in the sky, just when Zong Yang was at ease, the Yiyang behind him finally disappeared out of thin air because of the exhaustion of the sword qi just now.
"Yin spirit leeches don't have eyes, they will only be attracted by yang energy, and hundreds of yin spirit leeches only need one breath to suck the yang energy of a mortal."
Su Ying's words echoed in Zong Yang's ears.
The next moment, the shadow that felt safe in Zong Yang's arms was violently sent forward by Zong Yang, and Zong Yang bit his finger away, and the bright red blood made all the Yin Spirit Leeches go crazy.
The distance between the two was widening, and Su Ying watched Zong Yang in the distance being wrapped in thousands of Yin Spirit Leeches.
……
When the rumble was deafening again, Sukage finally breathed in the fresh air, and finally found herself in the long-lost light, not far ahead of her was a waterfall, she climbed a reef in time and climbed to it, looking at the exit with a lost and sad heart.
In the sun, the water of the underground river gushed out from the outlet, but there was no such figure.
Su Ying's cut of autumn water was covered with mist, and her poignant face made the world's merry and talented people lament, just when this woman who was all over the city and the country was sad, she broke into tears and laughed, because she saw a hand that appeared on the water, and then the face of suffering and life and death.
On the Ethereal Peak, who has ever seen Su Ying's smile.
When Zong Yang climbed the reef, Su Ying had already wiped away his tears and put on a lonely and cold mask.
……
On both sides of the waterfall is the primitive mountain, endless, Zong Yang came to the bottom of the waterfall with Su Ying on his back, here the water mist is shrouded, there is a boulder exposed to the water, and behind the waterfall, there is a stone statue of the same height as the waterfall, it is a Taoist who sits cross-legged, the surface of the stone statue is covered with moss, I don't know how many years have passed.
The corpse pattern Gu poison in Su Ying's body has turned black, and there is no need to delay, the two of them found a round boulder in the center and prepared to expel the poison, before starting, Su Ying only said weakly: "If I am not here, bury me here." ”
……
As the sun set, Zong Yang sat motionless on the boulder, leaning on Su Ying on his shoulders, the twilight sun swayed on them, and it snowed quietly, and the picture was extremely beautiful.
Su Ying's fair and flawless face no longer looms corpse pattern Gu poison, she was weak, she was angry, she wanted to watch the sunset, but she leaned on Zong Yang's shoulder and fell asleep, and Zong Yang has been maintaining this action for an hour, even if it is a hundred years and a thousand years, she will not feel tired.
Looking at the snow and sunset, Zong Yang's heart was peaceful, so quiet that he asked himself how good he was with her in his life, but he didn't know that although the snow scene was beautiful, it was the last snow.
After dark, the two lit a fire in the arms of the stone statue and spent the night without saying a word. The next day, Su Ying walked away with his sword.
