This karst cave has quite a bit of space, the top is round and the ground is elliptical, and it occupies a large area. In the middle of the cave lies a very conspicuous waterhole, which occupies nearly half of the cave's area. At the top of the cave hung a large number of stalagmites, which hung all over the top of the cave, sharp like a piece of sharp teeth, and one of them hung from the top, its pointed head facing the waterhole below, almost touching the surface of the water.

Around the waterhole stood a dozen or so boulders that had been worn off, and the ground was covered with gravel and a little blackened dirt. I went into the cave, raised the torch a little higher, and looked around, only to see that the stone walls on all sides of the cave were filled with passages of many feet in size. Looking at the appearance of the cave, it is made of the sky, and those passages seem to have been dug out artificially, and the culvert slope used to be a gathering place for unicorns, and probably these passages were drilled out by them.

I don't know why, after seeing this cave clearly, I always feel that this place is a bit similar to the wormhole under the Chenzhou City Prison, but I don't feel like it, this cave is not as big as the wormhole under Chenzhou City, and the wormhole in Chenzhou City does not have a waterhole.

Thinking of this, I don't think it's funny, it seems that for a few days, I have been associated with underground caves, always running around in the passages to find the exit.

I looked around, turned my head to look at He Erniang, and said, "There are so many passages, which one should we take?"

He Erniang was not so anxious now, and said as she walked towards the waterhole: "This cave has more than a dozen exits, and there are two exits on the opposite side. ”

She stretched out her hand and pointed to the two large and small passages directly opposite the pool, but as she spoke, she was already squatting on the edge of the pool, brushing the pool water with her hands, and began to wash the sludge on her body. I said, "Then let's get out of here quickly, I think we will chase this place soon after Ban Huailing." ”

He Erniang wiped her face and said, "Gu Shaoxia doesn't have to be anxious, Ban Huailing intercepted after the outer detour, I don't know which passage I will come from, we will wait here for a while, hear the movement and then choose the road." ”

I was a little surprised, and said, "These passages are so long, how can we hear them coming in?"

He Erniang turned to my side, began to clean up her long hair, pursed her lips and smiled: "Gu Shaoxia doesn't know, this is an echo cave, even if there is any wind and grass at the entrance of the cave, you can hear it here." Unicorns are cowardly and alert by nature, and these strange passages are dug to facilitate their escape. ”

She was afraid that I wouldn't understand, so she explained the latter sentence to me. However, she said that this cave is an echo cave, and there is something peculiar about the passages, and I don't see anything special about them, and no matter how you look at them, these passages are just ordinary mud and stone passages. However, what she said is not unreasonable, there are so many passages, Ban Huailing is chasing and blocking outside the cave, I don't know which passage will come in, rather than us blindly choosing a desperate one, it is really better to listen to the movement before making plans.

Without further ado, I found a clean stone and sat down, and stuck the torch in the dirt beneath my feet. The cave was noticeably more damp than the passage we had walked through, and the stone on which I was sitting was covered with a thin layer of water, but the fur clothes on my body were already soaked, and I was not afraid that it would not be clean. I patted the water stains on my body and watched He Erniang clean up the sludge on her body little by little.

He Erniang and Zabal are old acquaintances, I thought silently. It's just that her age doesn't seem to be the slightest bit different from Zabal, and even her demeanor and speech are not the slightest bit old, the Death Swamp used to be thriving, and there are countless precious and precious materials, and she is a deacon of the Eternal Life Hall, and her status is quite high, did she take any rejuvenating herbs? I still know some of the herbs for rejuvenating the face, the Wudang faction and the Kunlun faction have this kind of elixir, and the Shaobai Dao people look very young because of taking the anti-beauty elixir, when they are in the market, I often hear that the concubines and ladies in the Great Song Palace also take the anti-beauty herbs all day long to maintain their youth, speaking of which, this kind of thing is not unusual, and it is everywhere on the street.

It's just that in my opinion, I don't think it's necessary. Isn't it true that people live for a lifetime, birth, old age, sickness and death are all according to the destiny of heaven, and the old state is the old state, so what is the matter? Perhaps, if I have this kind of thought, I am destined to be a rough person. Compared with He Erniang, she knows how to cherish life more than me, and I am not as good as her in this regard.

The glow of the fire illuminated the cavern. The boulders around the waterhole were illuminated by the fire, and the black image was a demonic living thing, swaying slightly on the walls of the cave, but there seemed to be a stuffy feeling in the air. He Erniang had cleaned the sludge on her face and hair at this time, but she couldn't wash off the sludge on her dress, the pool was slightly rippling, and she squatted sideways by the pool There was an indescribable beauty.

I was watching boredly when suddenly there was a sharp pain in my right arm.

It's the injury that has flareed up.

I was taken aback, and hurriedly grabbed the animal skin package behind me and took out the five-flavor syrup.

He Erniang also saw my abnormality, and no longer washed her dress, staggered to my side, looked at my arm with a little dodgy eyes, and said, "Gu Shaoxia, ...... are you?"

I endured the pain in my arm and said, "It's nothing, the old injury has flare-up, just apply some medicine." ”

Saying that, I had opened the animal skin bag containing the five-flavor pulp, He Erniang took the animal skin bag and said, "I'll help you." ”

She looked at my right arm. The medicine cloth on my right arm had been snapped off after receiving a water balloon from Ban Huailing, and now the entire right arm was exposed, and the thin red scales on my arm and the pointed black nails on my five fingers looked like ghost claws in the dim cave at this time. He Erniang looked at my arm and said a little timidly: "Do you apply the liquid medicine inside to your entire arm?"

"Yes. ”

Gritting my teeth, I grabbed another piece of cloth from the animal skin package and handed it to her. He Erniang took the medicine cloth, poured the five-flavor slurry from the animal skin bag and poured it on it, and began to apply it to my right arm. After only applying it once, I felt that the pain in my arm had disappeared for the most part, but I knew that it was the fragrant black powder in the five-flavor pulp that had taken effect, and it had only temporarily paralyzed my arm.

He Erniang smeared the five-flavor slurry on my arm, her eyes widened, and she said, "Gu Shaoxia, is this the Heaven Opening Exercise you cultivated?"

Has the matter of my cultivation of the Heavenly Cultivation Sect already spread to the Immortal Hall? I was a little surprised, and said, "You also know?"

He Erniang's expression was a little unnatural, and she said, "The special exercises you practice have spread in the rivers and lakes, and I listened to what my altar master said." I heard the altar master say that Gu Shaoxia is a strange person in the world, he is a man of steel and iron bones, and his martial arts are rare in the world......"

I don't know what's going on, but when I heard her say this, I was a little apprehensive, and said casually: "What else did Yang Zhixing say?"

He Erniang was still smearing five-flavor pulp on my right arm, as if she had something to say, but she couldn't say it. I said, "He Erniang, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, why hide it?"

He Erniang's hand stopped, and she suddenly stood up, and said, "Gu Shaoxia, you can't go back to the Central Plains, and you can't be found by other people in my Immortal Hall!"

If you don't get found by the people of the Immortal Hall, won't you be found by them? What did she mean by this, I couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Why?"

He Erniang took a step back, bit her lip and said: "Gu Shaoxia, you have foreign blood, you can detoxify the poison, you have been invisible to the Miluo clan for the past two months, this matter has been spreading in the rivers and lakes, don't you know yet?"

I couldn't help but be speechless. Where did she still tell me about this matter, even if she didn't say it, I could already think of it, and even this matter, as early as when I was still in Youyun Villa, the people of the two realms of righteousness and demons already knew about it. But what she said now made me a little baffled, and said, "What does this have to do with whether I can go back to the Central Plains?"

He Erniang looked me up and down, and said, "You have already offended the Seven Great Sects by helping the Hall Master and the Altar Masters escape from the Death Swamp, if you return to the Central Plains, how will the old thief of Benkong and the old Dao of Tianyi spare you?"

He Erniang is now scolding Master Benkong and Tianyi for being thieves, and I don't care much anymore. She was right, when I helped the people of the Immortal Hall to escape into the Shenlong Cave, it was already a big plan for Master Benkong and Tianyi to grow up, and the two realms of righteousness and demons are incompatible, and if I act like that, the people of the Seven Great Sects will definitely not spare me, and I am afraid that when I return to the Central Plains, I am afraid that I will throw myself into the fire pit. I have also thought about these things, but in my heart, I haven't forgotten to promise Cheng Fuhai about refining the antidote to the poison, I still have to go back, which can be regarded as an explanation to Cheng Fuhai.

I said, "Maybe, but I'm going back." ”

He Erniang laughed mockingly, and said, "Do you think that you will still be alive by then?" Gu Shaoxia, I don't know how deep the relationship between you and the Seven Great Sects is, but because of your close relationship with my family's holy aunt, many disciples of my Immortal Hall have regarded you as their own, and even the hall master and the two Dharma protectors have praised Gu Shaoxia endlessly. It's just that...... Just ......"

She said a little bit of a preface, and at the end of the sentence was a little confused, and I couldn't help but whisper, "What the hell do you want to say?"

She was a little panicked by my shout, but she seemed to be ruthless, and said loudly: "It's just that despite this, the hall master still issued a death order, to see people in life and corpses in death, no matter how kind Gu Shaoxia is to my hall, I must also get all the blood on Shaoxia's body!"

As she spoke, she seemed to be deflated, and her left hand flung down, and a pitch-black chela needle was thrown out of her cuff, and with a "poof" sound, it was nailed into the dirt under my feet.

Just now, she actually tried to kill me.

My heart jumped, and I stood up straight, drawing the Shadow Chaser Sword in my left hand, and I couldn't care about my right arm now that it was still exposed. The long sword pointed directly at her face, and I said coldly, "You want to kill me!"
