When the stake was tied, the rain that had been accumulated in the thick clouds in the sky for a long time finally began to fall, but it was not very heavy, and it was dripping. Jiang Shun helped me towards the Kunlun faction's kitchen building, because the distance was not very far, and in just a while, we rushed to the foot of those attics. There are not many kitchen buildings in this area, although there are only four exquisite white stone attics standing in clusters, but the area is quite open, the size of a small half of the martial arts training ground, the four attics are surrounded by mountains and forests, and the terrain is also very good, from here you can overlook the entire martial arts training ground and accommodation houses of the Kunlun faction.

We ran past the front door to the back of the attic, and through a grove of trees, we saw a faint pool of cold springs in front of us, surrounded by a wide field and a circle of dense trees behind the four attics.

This pool of spring water is not very big, the left is wide and the right is narrow, the surrounding is surrounded by the smooth bluestone that is washed, faintly like a gourd shape, there are seven or eight springs in the pool are surging upwards and stopping, the spring water goes down the mountain, goes straight to the place that resembles the gourd mouth below, and flows into a circular grotto the size of a water tank.

Standing on the edge of the grotto, I looked inside and said, "Senior, is this the passage to the Fire Tree Gorge?"

The grotto is a smooth slope, so deep that it is pitch black at a glance, and you can't see anything clearly. Jiang Shun nodded, and said: "This is the place where the Kunlun Sect cooks get water, this spring is also a living spring, the spring water gushes out of the pool, and flows from this hole to the bottom of the mountain, we can reach the Huoshu Gorge from here, not only that, if we have been drifting down the river, with the help of the water potential, we can be sent directly out of the Kunlun Mountains and reach the territory of Tubo." ”

I was taken aback and said, "Can you go this far?"

Kunlun Mountain is already located in the hinterland of the Western Regions, thousands of miles away from Tibet, and this small pool of spring water actually leads directly to Tibet?

Jiang Shun didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "What's so strange about this, Brother Gu, do you know that since the Kunlun faction is one of the seven major sects in the Central Plains, how can it gain a foothold in the Western Regions?"

When he suddenly asked about this, I couldn't react for a while, and blurted out: "Senior Su once told the younger generation that the Kunlun faction has a long history and rich heritage, and the martial arts in the sect are also broad and profound, and the successive heads of the Kunlun faction have taken the people's livelihood in the Western Regions as the foundation and treated the people of the tribe with each other, so the Kunlun faction can gain a foothold in the Western Regions." Senior Jiang, what does this have to do with this pool of spring water?"

Jiang Shun smiled and said, "If you think so, then you are very wrong. ”

I was surprised, "Why? Isn't it?"

Jiang Shun exhaled, and was about to say something, but at this moment, a heart-rending roar suddenly came from the top of the mountain in front of us.

The Kunlun Sect's kitchen was originally located on the slope of the main peak of the Kunlun Sect, and the end of the mountain above us was the Wangtian Temple, and the roar was also coming from the Wangtian Temple. Looking up, I saw that under the drowsy sky, the behemoth of the Wangtian Temple stood upright on the top of the peak, around the main hall, the figures of numb people were jumping back and forth, the sound of sword collision and killing shouts were deafening, as if they were close in front of our eyes, and on the roof of the Wangtian Temple, seventeen or eighteen huge mandrills were struggling and biting with another group of huge things, and that roar people couldn't make it, that was what they came from.

Has the army of the Immortal Hall already attacked the Heavenly Temple?

I looked up, trying to see what I was biting with the dozen or so mandrills, but after all, it was still far away, and I didn't see what it was, but they were covered with tentacles, which was very weird, but they could compete with the mandrills, and they thought it was a kind of amazing ghost boy. Their bodies were very large, and they were so attached to the Wangtian Temple that they were brutally biting, and there was also a burst of rubble on the Wangtian Palace, as if they were crumbling.

At this time, Jiang Shun pulled me and said, "Brother Gu, without further ado, let's escape from Kunlun Mountain first." ”

I knew that I couldn't delay any longer, so I didn't say much, I glanced at the grotto at my feet, and my right foot just took a step forward and jumped down.

As soon as he jumped into the grotto, the screams and shouts around him disappeared, and all that greeted his ears was the sound of running water and the echoes of the hollow. I thought that even though the slope in the grotto was smooth, I could slow down the decline if I spread my feet against the stone walls on both sides, but in fact I thought wrong, whether it was the slope under me or the stone walls on both sides, it was unusually smooth, no matter how I stepped on it, it didn't have any effect at all.

In the darkness, my body seemed to be pushed by a strong force, and the person seemed to have fallen from a great height, rushing straight down with the current.

It was only then that I understood why Jiang Shun had to find a stake and a rope. Although the passage in this grotto is smooth, and the water level is almost up to my neck, it stands to reason that if I have nothing to do with the water, I can be washed to the bottom of the Fire Tree Gorge, but I am seriously injured, my left arm is already unable to move, and it is inevitable that I will be bumped and injured again, and now my left arm is tied to a stake but it makes me a lot easier, and the collision between my body and the surrounding stone wall is also resisted by the stake.

I was surprised and delighted, and the whole person was huddled tightly by the stake, so that I would not have more collisions with the stone walls on both sides, but fortunately, the passage of this grotto was not filled with water, and with the buoyancy of the stake, I could breathe normally.

The water here is just too fast. I can't see it, I feel like I'm sliding rapidly, and this passage is not straight, sometimes left and sometimes right, for a moment, I even feel like I have slipped a big circle in the passage, but then the passage turns, and straight down, this feeling under the turn makes me want to breathe, indescribably happy, it is really like circling in the air, but now I am in the grotto passage.

I don't know how long it took to slide, I only felt that it was a long time, and I didn't know how many turns I made in this passage while holding the stake, there are really a lot of bends here, although I was very careful, but I couldn't help but drink a few sips of water when I was hit by the current, but the spring water here was originally for people to drink, and I didn't care much.

I rushed down a little further down the current, made a turn, and suddenly there was a bright light in front of me, and I just wanted to look up, but at this moment, my body was light, and my body seemed to be thrown high and slid upward.

I looked down and saw that I had been swept out of the passage by the current, and below was a pool of spring water. Like a pebble, I was thrown into the pool as fast as I could, but my left arm kept around the stake, but I didn't go deep into the water, and I fell into the water and floated up again in the blink of an eye.

Now, I've been swept up in the Fire Tree Gorge, right?

Out of the passage, the water is no longer so urgent. I hugged the stake and looked around, but there were only two straight cliffs in sight, these two cliffs were very high, only two or three feet apart, and they extended up for an unknown distance, and even reached the top of the sky with only a gap in the sky.

When I first came to Kunlun Mountain, I once overlooked this undercurrent at the bottom of Huoshu Gorge, and when I looked at it from above, I already felt that this river was a bottomless abyss, but now when I look up at the past, I feel that it is deeper than from above, and if people fall from above, even if it is a river underneath, I am afraid that they will be shattered.

I was looking around, and there was a "poof" behind me, and another sound came, and when I turned my head to look, Jiang Shun was also rushed out of the passage. Jiang Shun's light skills are excellent, at this time I am not so embarrassed, as soon as I enter the water, I immediately jumped like a fish, rushed straight out of the water, only two feet on the water surface twice, swinging two circles of water waves, people like a mustard, gently and skillfully flew to me.

As soon as he landed next to me, Jiang Shun stretched out one hand and grabbed the stake, and wiped his face with the other hand and said, "It's safe to get here, we don't need to use force, just follow the water." ”

When I came out of the passage, I had already turned a lot of thoughts, this abyss is very deep, the cliffs on both sides are like knives, the Immortal Hall and the Seven Great Sects are fighting on the ground, it is impossible to capture from here, and the masters of the Heavenly Sky want to kill me, and they will never think that we will escape from here. If nothing else, Jiang Shun and I can really leave Kunlun Mountain safely along the water.

Jiang Shun has done so much, it is all for the sake of my safety, I don't know how to thank him, I just sighed and said: "Senior Jiang, why do you take such good care of the juniors?

Jiang Shun was still kind and pleasant, but when he heard my words, he was silent for a while, and raised his head to look at the abyss and was silent. At this time, the army of the Changshengtang has attacked Kunlun Mountain, and Huoshu Gorge has not been spared, although we can't see the situation on the ground clearly at the bottom of the abyss, but we can also see the fire above, the sound of killing continues, and the corpses and rain together, from time to time fall from above, fall into the water, and are rushed forward by the rapids.

After pondering for a long time, Jiang Shun breathed a long sigh of relief before saying: "I have been wandering in the rivers and lakes for most of my life, and I have been living a life of exile, but I don't have many true friends, and the reason why I saved you is because Jiang thinks you are worth one." ”

I don't know why, but when he said that, I was a little afraid to look at him.

I haven't known Jiang Shun for a long time, I met him from Youyun Villa, I just heard his name before, the name of the Golden Flower Thief resounded throughout the Central Plains, Jiang Shun's own martial arts are also very high, a Golden Flower Dart is known to everyone and no one knows, I didn't know him when I didn't know him in the past, I knew that he was a thief, but since I stepped into the Western Regions, I don't see him that way, although he is a thief, but many times I feel more like a hero, temperament and Baili disciple as heroic, but in the bones is not so reckless and brainless people, very clever。 But I have always admired him and was a true friend, but I never thought that I would not dare to climb high as a junior.

I didn't know what to say, but I said, "Thank you seniors for your love." ”

Jiang Shun didn't know what I was thinking, and was still saying: "You don't have to thank me, the world is like chess, this river and lake is no longer the rivers and lakes of the past, there is no morality at all, don't look at me as a thief, but sometimes I really think they are worse than thieves, the veins are full of sour thick water, you have a chivalrous heart at a young age, that is rare and valuable, sometimes even I feel ashamed of myself, and I don't know how many times better than those people who are vain and disguised." This time the competition between the Seven Great Sects and the Immortal Hall, I could have avoided it from afar, but when I thought that you, an outsider, were caught up in the conspiracy of the two realms, it was a pity that you died like this. ”

Listening to what conspiracy he said, I couldn't help but feel a slight pain in my heart, and said: "Senior Jiang, I am not a traitor, the Great Master of Benkong is really wronged." ”

Jiang Shun sneered: "If you are a traitor, you will really see a ghost, you are all being used." ”

I was taken aback and said, "Senior Jiang, do you know everything?"

Jiang Shun said slowly: "I don't know very clearly, but this battle of Kunlun Mountain is by no means as simple as it seems. ”

I frowned, and continued: "It's really not that simple, first the Weideng Dao people were found out, and then the master of Benkong pointed out that I was a traitor of the Seven Sects, and it was even more coincidental that the Immortal Hall followed after that, and Yang Zhixing was also ...... at that time."

As soon as I said this, Jiang Shun suddenly interrupted me and said, "Brother Gu, you may not understand what I mean, what I said is not simple, it is far from that you were framed, but that this battle between the righteous demons and demons will affect the entire Western Regions. ”
