Chapter 21: The Pursuit

In the early morning, Lin Weiyin and Luo Zhengding hid in the reeds by the river. Behind him is a dense reed thicket, like a strong city wall, and in front of him is a wide river, rippling water, like a calm ocean.

The two who were being chased were short of breath, sweat dripping down their foreheads, and their bodies were covered with wet mud and water vapor. The approaching footsteps of the officers and soldiers were already felt, and they knew that it was impossible to hide any longer, and they had to find a way to get out of pursuit.

Suddenly, Lin Weiyin caught a glimpse of a small boat docked not far away, she immediately took Luo Zhengding's hand and whispered to him, "Quick, we can take a boat back!" Luo Zhengding followed her gaze, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

The two quietly walked to the boat and boarded the oars that the boatman in front of the boat had forgotten to take with them. As soon as she stepped into the boat, Lin Weiyin was about to prop up the oars, but suddenly, a commotion came.

They looked over the river and saw the Cao gang driving a large boat, quickly approaching from a distance, chasing them. The Cao Gang's boat was tall and fast, forming a formation that locked the two of them.

Lin Weiyin held the oar tightly and rowed forward with all her might, and the boat made a wave in the water. She kept her eyes on the front, always on the lookout for the approaching ships.

The shadow of the pursuing ship is getting closer and closer, and the paddle hand of the big ship waves its long oars and makes a powerful sound of oars. They approached with ill intentions, trying to push them into a corner. The gang shouted, "Sink the boat." ”

Lin Weiyin felt the sweat scalding, and the fierce wind behind her blew her flower-like face. She closed her eyes tightly, immersed in a transcendent realm, feeling the strength and courage of her heart.

At that critical moment, Lin Weiyin suddenly opened her eyes, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She shifted her direction and turned into a narrow channel. The big ships didn't expect her to change direction suddenly, and hesitated a little, giving them a precious opportunity.

The boat crossed the narrow river like an arrow, and Lin Weiyin skillfully steered the boat, nimbly avoiding the dead ends. The big ship was jolting in the narrow river, and the hull of the ship turned inflexibly so that it could not catch up for a while.

At this critical moment, Lin Weiyin saw an opportunity. The boat sprinted toward a gentle slope, and she concentrated all her strength and slammed forward. The boat successfully broke into the river bank, and they managed to get out of pursuit. After the two of them went ashore, they looked at the big boat that was getting farther and farther behind them.

"We succeeded." Lin Weiyin muttered to herself, her voice revealing a hint of joy.

Lin Weiyin and Luo Zhengding walked into a strange mountain forest with the soft sound of falling leaves. It was already getting dark, and she hurried to find a place to hide, because she knew that the restless Cao gang in the mountains and forests had been chasing them for a long time.

Finally, she stopped in front of a cave. The cave is deep and dark, and seems to hide endless secrets. Lin Weiyin listened slightly, and there was a faint echo around her, as if something was staring at her secretly.

She hesitated, then resolutely entered the cave. Darkness enveloped her body for a moment, but instead of being afraid, she found the courage to survive.

As she walked deeper, a dark light began to spill in through the cracks outside the cave. Only then did she realize that the cave was far more peculiar than she had imagined. The rock wall is covered with various winding rock patterns, like mysterious patterns, reflecting the faint light, like a fairyland.

Lin Weiyin approached the wall and accidentally touched a seemingly ordinary stone. Suddenly, there was a low roar in the cave, and Lin Weiyin was so frightened that she hurriedly took a few steps back.

However, she didn't go far before she heard a strange voice: "Lin Weiyin, Luo Zhengding, you are hiding in the cave." ”

Lin Weiyin stopped and looked at the entrance of the cave in surprise. She didn't know where the voice was coming from, but she felt a strange attraction that drove her on.

She pulled out a handful of fire folds, lit the way in the cave, and continued to move forward. The further you go in, the more exaggerated the rock patterns on the cave walls become, and the haunting light becomes brighter.

Suddenly, she saw a huge stone statue, like a patronus standing inside the cave. She approached the stone statue and saw that the stone statue was clutching a dark blue two-leaf superpower grass in her hand, "I didn't expect there to be an unexpected harvest here." She reached out and gently touched the superpower grass, but she didn't expect the stone statue to suddenly come to life.

The stone statue slowly opened its eyes and looked at Lin Weiyin. His voice was low and majestic: "You have intruded into my territory, what is the matter with you?" ”

Lin Weiyin was a little frightened, but she didn't flinch. She calmly replied, "Excuse me, who are you?" Is that voice in the cave yours? ”

The stone statue bowed slightly: "I am Abani, I have been cursed in this cave for hundreds of years. Legend has it that a woman who was destined to come here and help me lift the curse. It seems that you are the woman. ”

Lin Weiyin was slightly stunned, but she quickly calmed down: "I am an ordinary martial arts warrior, but I was hunted down and forced to enter here. ”

Luo Zhengding smiled slightly: "Maybe all this is fate." Since you have come, I will use your hand to break the power of this curse. ”

Lin Weiyin felt a firm determination in her heart, she knew that only by helping Luo Zhengding lift the curse could she gain her freedom. So, she unsheathed her sword from her waist and swung it at the statue.

A ray of light emanated from the sword, illuminating the entire cave. Lin Weiyin swung her sword vigorously and cut off a shining gem on the stone statue's chest. The statue froze instantly, then faded into thin air.

Lin Weiyin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the pressure on her body dissipate in an instant. She turned around and wanted to leave the cave, but at the entrance of the cave, she met a group of Cao Gang disciples besieging Luo Zhengding.

The swordsmen looked at Lin Weiyin and showed a disdainful smile: "Little girl, do you think you can escape just by rescuing Luo Zhengding?" Today, you will surely die! ”

Lin Weiyin pursed her lips, her body shook, and the sword in her hand stabbed out like lightning. She single-handedly fought many swordsmen, crisscrossing the caves. The two sides came and went, the sword light was staggered, the swords resounded, and for a while, the entire cave was filled with the sound of swords.

Lin Weiyin dodged the attack while looking for a flaw. She caught a glimpse of a slight peeking out of a stone wall, and she immediately seized the opportunity, deftly dodging the enemy's attack, turning and leaping, stepping on the stone wall and pushing open a secret door.

Behind the secret door was a tunnel to the outside world, and Lin Weiyin quickly passed through it, and finally escaped from the cave. She gasped and took a deep breath, feeling herself free again.
