The people in Yaoguang City really didn't know about this mysterious cave.

Bingyang used a huge stone to seal the secret passage under the hot spring.

Ziling and Bingyang began the leisurely years in the cave.

The terrible wounds on Zi Ling's body were quickly healed by this friendly hot spring.

As if by magic, Bingyang turned out a lot of clothes and food.

"Did you plan to live in seclusion here before?" Zi Ling looked at the clothes that Bing Yang had prepared, a little surprised.

"I'm tired of dealing with the people in Yaoguang City, and I've been preparing in this cave. Bingyang explained, "I originally planned to go down the cave, hoping to find a way out of the Xuan Realm. ”

On Zi Ling's bald head, short hair has grown. She was pulling the clothes prepared by Bingyang, and was a little disappointed: "Why are they all men's clothes?"

Bingyang chuckled and said, "Do you want me to hide a woman in this cave?"

Zi Ling put on a wide suit of Bingyang, a little confused: "Why are your clothes purple now? Didn't you like to wear black clothes before?"

Bing Yang hugged Zi Ling and said softly, "Because when I see these purple clothes, I will think of you." ”

Zi Ling smiled lightly: "Put me on your body?"

The corner of Bingyang's mouth hooked: "Women are like clothes." ”

"Clothes?" Zi Ling was a little annoyed.

"Brothers and sisters. Bingyang hurriedly modified.

"Siblings?" Zi Ling was obviously not satisfied.

"Heart. "Bingyang is serious.

"Hmm. Zi Ling nodded, appreciating Bingyang's sweet words.

Zi Ling remembered something and asked, "On that day in the Qinguang Palace, you were already seriously injured, why are you still quite brave?"

Bingyang was a little angry: "I've always been quite brave, okay. ”

Zi Ling stuck out her tongue disapprovingly and said, "When you escaped, you were very brave. ”

Bing Yang sneered: "You and I were seriously injured at that time, and we didn't have the strength to fight, of course, to preserve our strength." ”

Zi Ling pondered for a moment and said, "Your half-virtual and half-real body style is very similar to the flower frame skills of the predecessors of the Kongtong Sect Fei Hongzi. ”

Bingyang blinked: "Exactly." ”

Zi Ling was dissatisfied: "Feihongzi's predecessors are so biased, why did they teach you the secret science of the Kongtong faction?"

Bingyang couldn't help but smile: "Because I'm more handsome." ”

"Cut. Zi Ling glanced at his mouth viciously: "It's a pity that you have broken the meridians, otherwise you will definitely be able to carry forward these escapees." ”

Bingyang also seemed to look quite sad: "Yes, if I wasn't seriously injured, I am afraid that you and I would have even practiced the Wuli Dual Swords." ”

"I'm leaving the Twin Swords?" Zi Ling's eyes widened and he said strangely, "How do you say this?"

Bingyang looked at Zi Ling and said, "Do you know what the name of this forbidden place is in the Xuan Realm?"

"I don't know. Zi Ling tilted her head and looked at Bingyang in confusion.

"Old trees. Bingyang blinked.

"Old trees?" Zi Ling muttered, "Looking for old trees in the South Mountain at dusk, and crossing the broken bridge and wildflowers." The frost is silent, the stars are scattered, and I don't know where the soul returns. ”

"You, you mean. Zi Ling grabbed Bingyang, and her breath was a little uncomfortable: "Here, this is the last place we have been looking for, the place where I have left the exercises?"

"Exactly. Bingyang looked at Ziling with a smile.

"Where?" Zi Ling excitedly let go of Bingyang and began to look left and right, turning in circles. It was as if the Ziqing Exercise was beckoning to her not far away.

Bingyang said softly: "You are injured, I originally wanted you to recuperate for a period of time, and then tell you." I never thought you were still in such a hurry. ”

Zi Ling pushed Bingyang away, jumped and jumped on the spot, and said disdainfully: "What are you cultivating? Look, I'm completely fine." What is that little injury? I'm a woman with a strong backbone!"

After speaking, this iron-clad woman suddenly fell to the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then she coughed incessantly.

Bingyang was shocked, and grabbed Zi Ling, and even his voice changed: "What's wrong with you?"

Zi Ling coughed violently again, and her face turned purple. She struggled to stabilize her mind, squeezed out a smile, and said to Bingyang: "Old wounds, don't worry." ”

Bingyang turned pale and said anxiously: "What old injury?"

Zi Ling wiped the bloodshot from the corner of her mouth, and said nonchalantly: "Not enough to worry about, not enough to worry about." ”

Bingyang stared at Zi Ling deadly, and said with a somewhat hideous face: "Say it quickly!"

Zi Ling seemed to be taken aback by Bingyang's appearance. Her gaze was a little wandering, and she cowered and said, "It was when I passed through the sinking waterfall that I asked Lin Yu for something." ”

"Lin Yu?" Bingyang's eyes seemed to erupt with fire. He snapped, "She's a poisonous lady, what did you ask her for?"

Zi Ling had never seen that Bing Yang had been so angry at herself, and she suddenly felt a little weak. She hurriedly explained: "I entered the Xuan Realm through the Sinking Waterfall. So he asked Lin Yu for a magical thing that would protect his skin from geothermal erosion. ”

Bingyang's heart tightened, grabbed Zi Ling's arm fiercely, and said quickly, "What kind of magical thing is it?"

Zi Ling only felt that her arm was grabbed by Bingyang and hurt fiercely, as if it was about to be broken. She lowered her head, as if in repentance, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "The poison of the serpentine." ”

Bingyang grabbed Zi Ling's hand, but suddenly let go.

He stood up, sleepwalking, and turned away.

Zi Ling was a little overwhelmed. She vaguely felt that she had done something terrible wrong. She had no choice but to stand up and silently follow Bingyang.

Bingyang walked slowly, and he came to a stop in front of a mountain wall.

Zi Ling followed behind with her head sullen and hit Bingyang headfirst.

Zi Ling raised her head embarrassedly, only to find that Bingyang's body was trembling slightly.

A closer look shows that Bingyang is actually facing the mountain wall, hiding his face and crying.

Zi Ling was shocked, this man with a strong momentum has always been happy, how could he ever be so weak.

She pulled Bingyang's hand and stammered, "Bingyang, you, what's wrong with you?"

Bingyang didn't answer either. With one hand, he covered his face and remained motionless, as if he were a stone statue.

Zi Ling was a little embarrassed, so she could only stand silently with Bingyang.

After a long time, I heard Bing Yang sigh heavily: "I should have thought about how you entered this Xuan Realm. ”

Zi Ling just wanted to answer, but saw Bing Yang turn around and stare at him tightly.

Bingyang's eyes were cold, which made Zi Ling shiver.

His voice was even colder: "If you want to leave me after all, then why do you bother to come to me?"

Zi Ling was stunned, she slurred: "I, I came to you, yes, because ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Bingyang: "Why are you trying to torture me like this?"

Ziling was a little dazed and at a loss.

Bingyang closed his eyes and fell into pain. He seemed to say to himself: "If you never get it, this kind of pain is far worse than getting it and then losing it." ”

Bingyang opened his eyes, looked at Zi Ling tightly, and said astringently, "Do you understand?"

Zi Ling had no choice but to nod carelessly: "I probably understand." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Zi Ling only felt that she was being hugged violently.

Bingyang's body trembled violently.

I only heard that Bingyang was in her ear, sobbing in a low voice: "I used to be able to endure the days without you." That's just loneliness and longing at best. But now, I can't bear it, and you're going to leave my fears. ”

This voice was so sad that Ziling couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

Bingyang hugged him tighter and tighter, which simply made Zi Ling breathless.

He seemed to mutter, "I'd rather die than see you risk for me." ”

Bingyang's tone became more and more sad, and he cried bitterly like a child: "Ziling, Ziling, I can die for you." But why do you want to punish my heart? How can I forgive myself for poisoning me? If you die, how can I live alone?"

Zi Ling sighed, could only pat Bingyang's back, and said warmly: "You and I are in the rivers and lakes, talking about life and death, what is so terrible." Don't cry. ”

Bingyang raised his head, stared at Zi Ling viciously, and said in a deep voice: "Tell you, a heartless person, that my sincerity is to play the piano to the cow." ”

Zi Ling, who was classified as a cow, was about to refute, but he heard Bingyang and said in a non-doubtful commanding tone: "From now on, your life is no longer yours." ”

Zi Ling's eyes widened, and he said strangely: "Then, whose life is my life?"

"Mine. Bingyang said, he looked at Zi Ling's eyes, as if he had realized it: "In the future, you will only belong to me." You must not die without my consent. In this life and this life, you and I are born, together, dead, and together. ”

.

.

Although Ziling's personal affiliation has changed.

It is said that she no longer belongs to herself.

However, this did not prevent Ziling from rejoicing as always.

She rejoiced because, in the depths of the cave, they had finally seen the legendary old tree.

An ancient tree.

A huge tree, standing alone in a quiet cave.

No sunlight, no sound.

I don't know how many thousand years it has been standing.

It seemed so out of place.

It's as if everything is so natural and harmonious.

The trunk was petrified and broken.

Zi Ling circled around the trunk of the tree several times.

She rubbed the trunk with her hand and found that there was a small seal carved on the trunk.

"This is the last part of the Wuli exercises. Bingyang walked behind Zi Ling and said softly.

"Why is it here? so lonely. "Zi Ling is still so old-fashioned and warm-hearted, worrying about the old tree.

"This tree is thousands of feet high, and its roots go deep into the ground. It is very likely that thousands of years ago, the descendants of Fusu Gongzi entered the Xuan Realm from here. Bingyang said contemplatively.

"Then wouldn't we be able to leave the Xuan Realm from the old tree?" Zi Ling shouted happily, while being deeply shocked by his own ingenuity.

"If the old tree could leave the Xuan Realm, I wouldn't be here a long time ago. Bingyang rolled his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Zi Ling couldn't hide her disappointment.

"The old tree is dead, the trunk is broken. Only the middle part of the cave remains, and it can't be used as a passage at all. Bingyang sighed, it was obvious that the old tree had been thoroughly studied by him.

"It's fine. Zi Ling's tone was very relaxed: "This cave has beautiful scenery and abundant products. You see, the leaves of the plants on the walls of this cave can be used to make soup, the fruits can be juiced, and the seeds can be dried for snacks. The fish in the river are very tender. The grilled fish is simply the pinnacle of this woman's work. If we can't go out again, it's good to live here for the rest of our lives. ”

Hearing that the ingredients in the cave were arranged as a gluttonous feast by Ziling, Bingyang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I only heard Zi Ling continue to say seriously: "I have found you, and now, I have found all the exercises of my departure." I think life is quite fulfilling. I don't care if I can't get out. ”

Bingyang's heart was hot, and his eyes blurred involuntarily. He muttered, "I'd like to stay here with you." However, the poison in you cannot be delayed any longer. We must leave the Metaverse as soon as possible. ”

Zi Ling said with a straight face: "Go, you can." But at least until we learn the Wuren exercises. ”

So in the following days, Ziling and Bingyang practiced swords day and night under the old tree. Grilled fish once in a while, soak in the hot springs.

The days are leisurely and peaceful.

The swordsmanship of the two of them improved by leaps and bounds.

If it weren't for Ziling's occasional coughing up of blood, such a day would simply fascinate the two.
