Ma Shuai was relieved to fall into the city, when suddenly the pool water was boiling, constantly surging upward, and after a while, it had overflowed the instep of his feet. His mind moved, and he jumped to his feet and laughed.

Allure said secretly: "I really don't know whether I live or die, I'm dying, and I'm so happy?" Seeing Qi Tian coming, he finally remembered Ma Shuai's admonition and couldn't help but say it.

Qi Tian frowned and said, "This water is rising so rapidly, I'm afraid that it won't be long before there will be no place in the cave." ”

Ma Shuai stood and watched excitedly, not knowing the worries, he took a step back when the pool water rose, and always refused to give in, until he retreated to the end, seeing the rise slowing down, he stomped his feet and said: "Don't stop, continue to rise for me!" But let him shout and scold, the pool water slowly fell, and after a meal, the tide receded.

Ma Shuai's whole person seemed to be out of the air, and after that, in addition to urging Qi Tian to practice, he stood by the pool without saying a word. Allure knew that he was looking forward to the rising water, and asked a few times to no avail, so he had to give up, catch fish and barbecue for three meals a day, and serve him wholeheartedly.

On the twenty-sixth day, the three of them had lunch, and Qi Tian was about to practice as usual, when he was suddenly stopped by Ma Shuai: "Although 'Imagination' has taught you, the way of martial arts is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat." A person is blessed with deep fortune, and he may be able to turn evil into good fortune, but in life, it is difficult to go smoothly forever. ”

Ma Shuai said solemnly: "As long as you are still in the rivers and lakes for a day, you must practice diligently, this is the way to survive." As for Master's other skills, they can be described as branches, so there is no need to study them, so as to save too much distraction. ”

Qi Tian was overjoyed: "Master has thought of a way to get out of trouble?" Ma Shuai muttered: "Under this cave, there must be a dark river flowing, and for the teacher these days, waiting for the water to rise day and night." It was hoped that when the pool was full, the water would overflow and the pool would be able to swim out. ”

Qi Tian pondered: "After a while, when the rainy season begins, maybe you will be able to do it in one fell swoop." Ma Shuai shook his head and said, "It's too late." Qi Tianleng said: "The golden carp here has not been extinct, and it wants to reproduce endlessly, as long as it is not hunted and killed, it should not be a problem to support it for a period of time." ”

Ma Shuai asked, "What if it doesn't rise for a long time?" Qi Tian said gloomily: "Everyone has a life." That's just going to have to be the way it is. ”

Ma Shuai said: "Although going with the flow is a good way to deal with the world, a person is in a desperate situation, and only by never giving up can he find a turning point." Qi Tiangong responded.

Ma Shuai continued: "As a teacher, I also thought just now that since the high tide can get rid of difficulties, the water in the pool will not rise, and we will rise it." Pointing to the hole on the other side of the pool: "As long as the water inlet is blocked, the water in the pool will not drain down, and it will naturally rise upward, so that it can float out." ”

Allure was overjoyed and hugged Ma Shuai: "Jiang is really old and spicy, and now he can finally escape." Qi Tian thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Then wait for the disciple to block the entrance of the cave here." Allure hurriedly let go of Ma Shuai and pulled Qi Tian's wrist: "You stay here alone, no one blocks the hole for you, how can you get out then?"

Ma Shuai stopped and said: "This matter is so decided, after the teacher's cushion, you go first, and when you go out, you will find a way to rescue." "Qi Tian is still to be said. Ma Shuai secretly glanced at Allure. Allure said: "If you ignore your master's orders as soon as you get started, if you are a girl and my apprentice, you will not be expelled from the door wall, but you will also have to be beaten well, so that he can understand what it means to 'respect the teacher'." ”

Qi Tian snorted for a while, and finally stopped talking. Ma Shuai pointed to a fan-shaped rock in the upper left: "Whether this thing is successful or not depends on whether you have learned kung fu these days or not." ”

The rock was two feet high and three feet wide, like a fan stuck across the cliff. Ma Shuai walked under the rock, took a horse step, palms up, and said horizontally in his lower abdomen: "Wait for the teacher to help you." Qi Tian had no choice but to take a breath, spread his body, and rushed over. He stepped on his left foot a little, and stepped on the palm of Ma Shuai's right foot. Ma Shuai shouted: "Go." "Hold on.

Qi Tian took advantage of his strength to rise into the air, seeing that the castration did not stop, and he was about to hit the top of the hole, he suddenly bowed his body and shrank, kicked his feet back, and shot backwards, volleying the "Ten Thousand Horses Galloping" in the "Heavenly Horse Fist", and the internal strength of the limbs and hundreds of bones surged to the fist like a tide. I just listened to the loud bang, which slammed firmly on the rock, and with a "click", the rock shook twice, broke off at the root, and rolled down.

Ma Shuai was afraid that the stone would fall to the ground and shatter, so that the "overlord lifting the crown" was held upward. The weight of the rock itself is as little as two or three hundred catties, and with the tendency of rolling down, I am afraid that it will be more than a thousand catties. With Ma Shuai's cultivation, even if it is doubled, it will be easy. But since he interrupted his qi, his strength has been nine out of ten, and at this time he forcibly operated, and the internal breath of the disorder in his body lost his suppression, and he immediately went up, and the meridians spasmed, and his strength was exhausted, and the rock fell down, crushing him to the ground.

Qi Tian fell down, supported himself on the ground with one hand, jumped up one backward, hurriedly stepped forward to knock the stone over, and helped the master to sit down with his back against the stone wall. Ma Shuai gasped: "Quickly move the stone to the entrance of the cave." ”

Qi Tian said uneasily: "Master, are you okay?" Ma Shuai urged: "Don't be verbose, hurry up and do it." Qi Tian had to follow his words, straddle the horse and sink his waist, put his arms together, close the stone, and with a little force, he picked it up effortlessly, lifted it and floated over, and stood next to the hole.

Ma Shuai followed behind, holding his hands on his hands. Qi Tian saw that the master's face was pale, his face was haggard, and even his body was shaking, and he said with tears: "You are like this, how can the disciple bear to abandon it." ”

Ma Shuai knew that the oil was running out and the lamp was dry, and his life was in an instant, so he said sharply: "The eldest husband made a decision immediately, how can the kindness of a woman be successful? If you don't leave, you and I will have a master-apprentice relationship, and this is the end of today." Qi Tian wept and said, "Then when Tian'er goes out, come down immediately to rescue you, Master." ”

Ma Shuai freed up a hand and gently stroked the top of Qi Tian's head, his face full of love: "You value love and righteousness, if you are an official, you are a blessing to the people, but in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that it will become a fetter." He saw Allure coming, and continued: "Fortunately, now there is a girl by your side, she is clever and clever, and she will never be fooled, but let the teacher be relieved." The future is uncertain, and you two are doing everything for yourself. He closed his eyes and waved his hand.

Allure's eyes were sour, and tears swept away. She was afraid that Qi Tian would see it, so she was suspicious, so she didn't look back, and pulled Qi Tian into the hole with her backhand.

Qi Tian had to hold his breath and dive upwards with Allure. I don't know how long it has been, but I feel that my chest is getting tighter and tighter, but my vision is getting brighter and brighter. He knew that the water was imminent, cheered up, struggled to swim, and suddenly the sound of water in his ears was loud.

Qi Tian and Allure looked over, only to see a white Lian falling from the sky. The two of them let out a long breath in unison, avoiding the frontal impact and floating aside. After a while, I felt that the water level was slowly rising, and it was obvious that the hole below had been blocked by Ma Shuai. The two glanced at each other, and for the rest of their lives, there was no joy in each other's eyes.

After a while, the sky became brighter and brighter, and the rising water level dropped sharply as the mouth of the pool was imminent. Allure was shocked: "The entrance of the cave is pouring out, go up quickly." The two of them took a breath and plunged upward, but there was nowhere to borrow their strength in the water, and although they jumped out of the water to a height of a zhang, they were still about a foot away from the mouth of the pool.

Allure's heart turned: "After sacrificing the old man Ma, he can't escape after all, is he destined to die at the bottom of the cave." As soon as she thought of this, she simply closed her eyes and did not struggle.

Qi Tian's other hand probed upwards and rested on the stone wall. The stone wall has been soaked with water and covered with moss, smooth as a mirror, how to grasp it? Suddenly my wrist hurts, as if it has been cut by something.

Qi Tian didn't have time to think about it, his five fingers were like hooks, and he grabbed a protruding rock and hung his body, and the stone shook under the load. He changed his breath sharply, sank his dantian, penetrated the instep of his foot, and instantly kicked out five feet, embedding his toes into the stone wall.

Another sharp pain came from the back of the foot, and I don't know how many toes were broken? Fortunately, the force under my feet reduced the weight, and the stones I was holding were no longer loose for a while.

Qi Tian lifted the Allure City and threw it upward, kicked hard, and then jumped out of the pool, didn't have time to catch his breath, and said urgently: "You guard here, I'll go find the rope." ”

He grabbed it and said, "Don't bother." Qi Tian shook off her hand, turned his head, and looked at each other angrily: "Such ungrateful words, can you say it?"

Allure said quietly: "Shigong said before his death that it was very quiet below, and his old man was very satisfied, so let him bury his bones there, and don't go down to disturb his rest." ”

Qi Tian said sharply: "What did you say?" Allure pointed to Hantan and said, "With the love of the master for you, how can you give up halfway and let the cave collapse?"

Qi Tian's forehead was bruised: "But why?" Allure said loudly: "That's because he is no longer there." A wave of sorrow surged over his heart, threw herself into his arms, and wept bitterly.

Allure cried for a while, and then Ma Shuai knew that the deadline was approaching, and said the original: "As for whether you follow his old man's last wish? or insist on going down? You decide for yourself, and I won't stop you." If you want to go down, then I'll go down with you. ”

When Qi Tian heard her say, "Then I'll go down with me", although her tone was light, the meaning of life and death was overflowing. He was silent for a while, knelt down towards Hantan, and kowtowed four times.

Seeing that his forehead was cracked and blood was flowing for a long time, Allure City tore a skirt and bandaged him, and then bowed four times and said: "Master, you know what you have under the spring, and you still look forward to Mingjian: if it is not that Allure is not filial, he will not come down to collect the funeral for you." But if I come down, they will go with me. In this way, two lives will be affected, and you will be buried in the cave, and your old soul in the sky must be heartbroken. ”

Qi Tian knew that she was obviously saying it to her master, but in fact, she warned herself that she had to dispel the idea of going down. Looking back at the loneliness of the green mountains, thinking of the days when I got along with Ma Shuai, I still remember it vividly, and I couldn't help but feel gloomy for a while.
