5. Out of the valley
After enough rest, Lu Bowen put the fat junior brother on his back again, let him hold the night pearl, and he held on to the cave wall, winding all the way down the rough stone stairs, and the more he walked, the more surprised he became: how could the road out of the valley go down? Shouldn't it go up?
However, although he was full of doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to ask more, the senior in the stone seemed to be a little irritable, and he was scolded for everything.
After walking down for a long time, Lu Bowen stepped out of the narrow passage, and suddenly felt spacious, it should have entered a large hollow, but the hole was dim, and the boundary could not be seen, anyway, the light of the night pearl could not see where the edge of the void was. I didn't dare to walk around in this kind of place, and who knew what kind of traps there would be, so I had to stop and wait for the seniors in the stone to show me the way.
"Stick to the wall on the left. Du Yusheng's prompt sounded at the right time.
Lu Bowen looked at his feet by the light of the night pearl, there seemed to be a thick layer of black ash in this hollow, like the remnants of something burned into ashes, he took a step forward, the black ash was quite thick, and it didn't even reach the instep. He walked for a quarter of an hour against the wall on the left when he saw another hole in the wall.
"If you go all the way through this hole, you can get out. ”
Du Yusheng's words were like giving Lu Bowen chicken blood, he suddenly felt that he was full of energy, and the two hundred pounds of fat junior brothers on his back seemed to be much lighter, and he walked down the cave stairs for nearly an hour, and when he was almost exhausted, he finally saw the bright light from the entrance of the cave, and the sound of rushing water sounded in front of him.
The fat junior brother said excitedly: "Senior brother, there is the sound of water ahead, are we going on the right track?"
Lu Bowen said "um", carrying the fat junior brother to the light, after a flight of stairs, the cave came to the end, the water vapor came to the face, the sound of the water slapping the stone in his ears, and when he walked out into his eyes, there was a small stone platform covered with moss, which was like a rough stone platform left after cutting off half of a boulder, and outside the stone platform was a curtain of waterfalls, which fell down from the top of the head and fell down from an unknown height, hanging outside the stone platform like a curtain.
There are many stone steps on the side of the stone platform to form a winding down road, but those stone steps are covered with moss, which is very unfriendly to Lu Bowen, who is burdened.
But it's better to have a road than no road, no matter how difficult it is.
Lu Bowen climbed down almost backwards, and it is conceivable what Du Yushang will dislike this way.
"Do you still look like a monk? Well, you actually use crawling? You won't throw your junior brother down, and then wait for you to go down and then pick him up? He's fat anyway, and he won't sink into the water! He's just poisoned, not dead, you see he still has the strength to eat and break his mouth, and he still has the strength to walk?......
"Senior, if you say it again, I'll throw you down first!" Lu Bowen couldn't bear it.
Du Yushang was so angry that she couldn't breathe, oh, no, she didn't have to breathe. She was so angry that she simply didn't look or listen, but secretly ruthless in her heart: When my cultivation is exhausted, I will definitely drain the soul of this stinky boy who doesn't know how to respect the old man and break his bones and ashes!
Lu Bowen finally got a moment of purity, so he climbed from the middle of the waterfall to the edge of the pool at the bottom of the waterfall. He found a dry boulder away from the waterhole and unloaded the load.
"Senior Brother Mingyuan, let's change our clothes and hurry again, wet clothes are uncomfortable to wear, and it is easy to get sick. ”
A little cultivator like them in the Qi refining period has a physical fitness that is not much better than that of mortals, and if they eat whole grains, they will naturally have birth, old age, sickness and death.
The two brothers each took out the clothes they had prepared in their storage bags and changed them all in a hurry.
After cleaning up, Lu Bowen took out dry food and dealt with two mouthfuls casually, and was about to carry the fat junior brother on his back to continue on his journey, when he suddenly remembered that there was still a senior in the stone, so he called in the sea of knowledge: "Senior, thank you for the kindness of the seniors for guiding the way, now the juniors and juniors have left the Phoenix Fall Valley, if the seniors agree, the juniors will cancel the contract with the seniors." ”
Du Yushang couldn't block this kind of soul-like call, so she had to reopen the five senses, and then she saw Lu Bowen and the fat junior brother's newly changed unified robe of the sect: a white undershirt, covered with white long shoulders, the shoulders were open, half of the left and right were embroidered in dark blue, and in the swirling fairy aura, a magnificent and exquisite door opened from the placket, taking the meaning of "there is a fairy gate in the chest".
Chong! Immortal!
If he had teeth, Du Yushang would definitely be able to bite out his teeth with hatred.
Chongxianmen, that's really a place that doesn't match your own eight characters, no, not only does the eight characters not match, but also fiercely restrains yourself, and you have no way to enter the heavens and the earth.
All of her unhappy life turns are related to Chongxianmen, from Chilian Fairy to Chilian Witch, because Chongxianmen, who was besieged and killed in Fengyuan Valley, blew up the Yuan Shen, and died because of Chongxianmen.
Chongxian Gate!
Du Yushang didn't respond to Lu Bowen's call for a while, at this time all her mind was on self-restraint, she was afraid that she couldn't help but curse the two white-clothed young men in front of her with the most vicious words - the only thing she could do now was to scold.
Du Yushang said to herself as if hypnotized, and after a long time, she finally calmed down and said calmly: "Young man, I remember that you swore that as long as I didn't make a request, you couldn't break the contract, remember? ”
Lu Bowen was a little sluggish, he naturally remembered the Heavenly Demon Poison Oath he made clearly, and he would not forget a word, "Once the seniors want to cancel the contract, I can't refuse for any reason", it seems that it can indeed be understood as "The seniors can't cancel the contract if they don't want to", it turns out that the word game can still be played like this? ?
What kind of ancestor did he contract, he didn't do anything, and he scolded him every once in a while, and he couldn't unbind him! The old man of other people's family gave him exercises and pills, and there were still a lot of resources to inherit, so look at his own portable ...... Stone spirits, really stone, smelly and hard!
Before, which tendon didn't match correctly, I actually felt that I didn't lose money by signing the contract, but now it seems that the blood is a loss.
Forget it, the poisonous oath I made, I have to keep the covenant with tears. What else can I do, of course, is to bring this portable stone spirit home.
Lu Bowen picked up the fat junior brother and the "stone spirit" and went on the road again, and after walking east for half a day, he finally saw a market town, spent money to hire a carriage in the market town, and finally came to a small town two days later.
Du Yushang recognized this city, and after the master rescued her from others, he brought her to this city to buy clothes and heal her.
What Shizun said back then had warmed her for half her life: "Yushang, don't blame yourself for other people's mistakes, it's not your fault that you have a pure yin body, you are yourself, not anyone's furnace, you worship me as a teacher, from now on, the teacher will definitely protect you, you just follow your avenue, and everything else is a teacher." ”
Du Yushang felt that when the master said these words at that time, he should have been sincere, and the master at that time had no other intentions for her, it was the real and simple master's care and care for the apprentice.
But why did it change?
