Volume 1 On Earth 076 - Hope in the Dark

Yun Luochen can't remember how many days it was.

In this dark place, people's perception of time has become dull, and perhaps in fact only four or five days have passed, but the clouds and dust feel like a year and a half have passed.

For the first two days, both men were still full of energy, each digging into the ground with their own weapons, and then using internal forces to transport the earth and rocks out. But gradually, as time passed, hunger and exhaustion enveloped them like a haze, and gradually devoured their remaining fighting spirit and hope.

Yun Luochen only knew that there must be a tunnel leading to the outside under this underground, but he didn't know where that tunnel was, he could only continue to operate Ying Longtang's unique internal martial arts, and use his extraordinary perception to feel every strange fluctuation underground.

The tunnel is for people to walk, as long as someone passes by, even if it is just a mouse crawling by, there will definitely be movement.

At first he was confident, but as time went on, he became more and more skeptical of his judgment.

Facing the darkness in front of him that seemed to have no end, Yun Luochen was still struggling to dig forward, although the movements of his hands had not stopped, but in his heart he felt more and more that his efforts were so futile.

"Are we really trapped here?" The light of hope faded away, but despair grew in his heart.

But he didn't dare to show this, because he was afraid that Luan Yeqiu would also lose hope of survival because of his emotions.

Luan Yeqiu's internal injuries are getting worse and worse.

When she fell from the cliff, she was invaded by a wisp of cold air from the ice circle, and later she was injured when she tried to break out of the barrier. There is a lack of spiritual energy in this underground, and they have no medicine to heal their wounds, and they have to work in this damp and dark environment with hunger, and her body is not as good as day by day, and now it is a little difficult to even walk.

At such a time, Yun Luochen really couldn't bear to hit her again.

"Senior sister, you can eat something. ”

Yun Luochen took out the last small half of the baked cake in the baggage in his arms and carefully sent it to Luan Yeqiu's mouth.

Luan Yeqiu leaned against the stone wall half-lying down and shook his head slowly.

"Little junior brother, you can eat it yourself, you have to continue digging forward. ”

"It's okay, I still have it. Yun Luochen secretly picked up a piece of soil and stuffed it into his baggage, and put the burden into Luan Yeqiu's hand.

"Senior sister, you touch it, there is such a big piece, I will eat it myself in a while. ”

Luan Yeqiu smiled reluctantly, opened his mouth and took a small bite gently, chewing very carefully, for fear of spilling even a little bit of flour.

She swallowed with some difficulty, a smile on her face, "It's so fragrant," she stretched out her index finger and wiped the corner of her mouth, "it's just a little hard." ”

Yun Luochen also squeezed out a smile and joked: "When I got to such a situation, I realized that people like Senior Sister can also eat baked cakes." ”

The corners of Luan Yeqiu's mouth curled slightly, "I also loved to eat baked cakes when I was a child, but I didn't eat much later." ”

Yun Luochen laughed and said: "I guess it must be like those pampered rich ladies, just eat the filling inside of the cake, and vomit the cake outside." ”

"It's even more excessive than you say. Speaking of this, Luan Yeqiu's expression began to become a little embarrassed, "When I was a child, I only gnawed off the layer of oily skin that the cake and the filling touched, and I was too tired of the filling to eat it." ”

She sighed and said, "People are really hungry to a certain extent, everything they eat is fragrant, and even the soil can be eaten as baked cakes." ”

A hint of strangeness flashed in Yun Luochen's eyes, and the hand holding the burden stiffened slightly.

"I know this is the last piece," Luan Yeqiu said, handing the rest of the baked cake back to Yun Luochen, "Little junior brother, give it to you to eat, save your strength, promise me, you must leave this place, we can't die here!"

Man is truly a wonderful creature.

When he is in a desperate situation, if there is only one person, he may easily feel hopeless. But as long as he has a companion, in order not to despair for his companion, the man may become stronger.

When Yun Luochen was a child, he heard the old man say that the structure of the word "person" was originally mutually supportive, and it was not until today that he truly realized the meaning of this sentence.

Now he felt empowered again.

As the days passed, Mrs. Luan often stood anxiously at the door of Luan's mansion, looking forward to her daughter's safe return.

Many times, Lisheng also accompanied Mrs. Luan, and prayed silently for them in his heart.

At dusk on this day, Mrs. Luan, as before, once again came to the door of Luan's mansion. It was already the third day, and a trace of worry appeared on Mrs. Luan's face, she turned her head to look at Lisheng beside her, and asked casually, "How is that Meng Gongzi now?"

Li Sheng said: "The residual poison has almost been cleared, but the body is weak and still in a coma." ”

Lisheng asked again: "Madam, do you really plan to let Steward Crane take people to Pingqiu Valley?"

Mrs. Luan sighed, "I shouldn't have taken such a risk. To be honest, I had a hard time these three days, and that in itself was a contradictory decision, wasn't it? If I want to save Qiu'er, I should send someone as soon as possible. ”

Lisheng nodded, "I can understand you, as the head of the family, you should put the whole family first, but as a mother, ......"

Mrs. Luan showed a look of pain on her face, and interrupted Li Sheng's words, "At this point, I can't take care of it so much, I also know that doing so will put the entire family in danger, so let my mother be willful once." ”

Soon, Crane Immortal Weng took two agile Luan family guards, disguised as a hawker who delivered goods to Luan Mansion, and quietly left through the back door.

All this seems to have gone unnoticed by anyone around. On the street at the entrance of Luan's mansion, there were only a few broken bones left on the board of the meat butcher that no one wanted, and the blind fortune teller next to him had a cold business, and a group of children were laughing and playing nearby.

Night has fallen, and it is destined to be an unquiet night.

A black shadow flew on the roofs of countless houses in Pingqiu City, walking on the ground, like a ghost who came and went in the dark night in the legend.

This is definitely the top light skill in the world, but anyone who has seen such a skill should not be willing to choose to be his enemy.

Suddenly, the shadow stopped.

For a tall figure stood on an eaves in front of him, which happened to be where he would land next.

Then the tall guy jumped slightly, and in the next moment, he was already in front of the black shadow.

From such a close distance, the black shadow finally saw the face of this person clearly, it was the face of a handsome middle-aged man, coupled with his tall and straight figure, he must have been a beautiful man who fascinated thousands of girls when he was young.

It's a pity that this black shadow is not a woman, on the contrary, his voice is hoarse and low, such a person obviously will not be interested in a man.

"Why do you want to be my way?" asked the dark shadow coldly.

The middle-aged man smiled, "You misunderstood, this is not a road, it is a roof." ”

The black shadow snorted coldly: "No matter what it is, as long as you step on people's feet, it is called a road." ”

"Oh?" the middle-aged man stared at the other man's face and said, "Then if I put my foot on your face, wouldn't your face also become a road?"

The black shadow's tone was suddenly full of murderous intent, "You're here to find death?"

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "To be precise, I came to fight with you, but it is not necessary to look for death." ”

The Shadow burst out laughing, "Do you know who I am?"

The middle-aged man also laughed, "Of course I know, if I didn't know who you are, I wouldn't be standing here." ”

The black shadow suddenly stopped laughing, he stared coldly at the man in front of him, and asked with some disbelief, "Do you really know?"

The man nodded very seriously, and then said slowly: "Your Excellency is the fourth-ranked leader of the Iron Cloak Gang among the top ten masters of the Great Wilderness, Silver Iron Cloak. ”

The black shadow's expression suddenly became gloomy, and his eyes like poisonous snakes stared at each other gloomily.

The man didn't seem to care, and still said unhurriedly: "Everyone thinks that you are still in the southern Xinjiang, because there are countless pairs of eyes staring at your residence, but no one has ever noticed that you have left, they would never have thought that the leader of the dignified iron-clad gang would disguise himself as a small trader and secretly come north here." ”

"Your Iron Cloak Gang's cultivation skills, your skin will turn a strange blue-gray, especially if you have cultivated to the highest level, this kind of skin color that is different from ordinary people is especially obvious, a person with such obvious appearance characteristics, no matter how he dresses, it is easy to be recognized. ”

"But it is precisely because of this that no one would think that you would choose this seemingly stupid method to sneak away, and you are taking advantage of this psychology of people and doing the opposite. ”

"Although you can't disguise yourself as a normal person with your skin tone, people forget that it's hard to lighten your skin, but it's easy to get darker. ”

"So, you painted the skin of your whole body black, put on a strange robe and costume and dressed up as a foreign trader, and sat at the door of Luan's Mansion in a grand manner. I have to say that this trick is really clever under the light. ”

The man didn't seem to notice the murderous intent between the other party's eyebrows at all, and still smiled and asked, "I don't know if what I just said is correct?"

The dark shadow's tone turned very calm, "It seems that you know a lot, but why did you wait until now to debunk me?"

The man smiled: "The Silver Gang Master is still too exalted to me, and I also deduced it when I saw you leave from the gate of Luan Mansion and just saw your light skills." ”

Yin Tieyi raised his eyebrows, "It turns out that you have also been secretly monitoring the Luan family, it seems that your relationship with the Luan family is very unusual." ”

He looked at the man again and said coldly: "Since you know my identity, how can you dare to stand in my way alone? In the entire Great Wilderness, there are only three people who are my opponents, and you are obviously not one of them. ”

The man twisted his neck somewhat casually and said, "I just want to see and see, the so-called fourth-ranked master, is it a waste of fame." ”

The corners of Silver Tieyi's mouth gradually revealed a cruel smile, "You're not the first person to say such things to me. ”

The man nodded, "I believe that." ”

"But you must be the only living person who has ever said such a thing to me. ”

The man continued to nod, "I believe that too. His expression finally became serious, "But I really want to beat you up before you know who I am." ”

"Oh, is it?" the killing intent in Silver Tieyi's eyes suddenly dissipated, and he laughed a little playfully, "What if I knew who you were?"

The man sighed and said, "If you know who I am, then we may not be able to fight this one." ”

"Why can't you fight?"

"Because if you know who I am, you're going to run away in fear. ”

Yin Tieyi suddenly laughed, he laughed loudly, and sat on the ground with a smile on his ass, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.

"I know who you are, you are Mu Yiqing, the leader of the Green Knife Gang. Yin Tieyi said with a smile: "Now I also know that in addition to being the leader of this unpopular small sect, you are also a big idiot. ”

He slowly stopped laughing, slowly stood up, and then looked at Mu Yiqing with idiot-like eyes and said, "Look, now I know who you are, but I haven't been scared away by you." ”
