Chapter 6 Out of the Mountain
Jiu Ge went through the whole cave in his mind, although there were dead ends, there were still two ways out, one was the bottom of the bluestone slab pool on the top of the cave, and the other was the underground river below. The rocks on both sides of the bluestone slab can withstand dozens of tons of water, and it must be not thin for so many years. The bluestone is located in the middle of the pond, and the pressure is the greatest, although it does not look thick, but with the part hidden in the rocks on both sides, the weight can be imagined. The mechanism can't be found, it's impossible to push it open, and it's even more impossible to chisel open the roof of the cave.
At the moment, you can only gamble on the underground river. The waterway has always been uncertain, if you are lucky, you will go down the water, if you are unlucky, it is difficult to say that you will encounter a cliff or something. But as long as you go beyond the mountain, everything is adaptable.
Thousands of people from the Seven Star Sect live on this isolated island, and all food and supplies need to be supplied from outside, and there must be a lot of ships coming and going. If you can get out of this mountain, you naturally have a way to cross the sea.
Jiu Ge briefly said what he thought in his heart, Xiao Jin'er did not object, and the two of them roasted all the remaining dead fish, drank some water, lit torches, and went down to the underground river towards the sewer.
It was autumn, and the groundwater was abundant after a summer of precipitation reserves, resulting in a large flow of groundwater, and there was no room in the river for two people to light torches. Within five meters, the torches were extinguished, and they had to follow the water to the bottom of the river. Fortunately, the drop of the river channel is small, there are almost no major fluctuations, and after swimming for about seven or eight minutes, you can see that there is a faint light ahead, and the speed of the water is much smoother. The mountains ahead are uncertain, and if you are not careful, you will be washed down. In order to prevent danger, Jiu Ge swam to the shallow water of the stone walls on both sides, and easily scooped up Xiao Jin'er, who was still in the water with her head covered, and climbed the stone wall and slowly moved forward.
Fortunately, there is no cliff ahead, but it is at the bottom of the cliff, and the stream above the ground gurgles down, forming a dense curtain of water, where it joins the underground river, and the lower channel becomes wider.
The two swam out of the river, and did not dare to stop longer in case of incident, so they walked to the broad-leaved forest next to them, all the way down the river.
Most of the trees at the bottom of the mountain are evergreen, and occasionally a few deciduous trees are interspersed to bloom in the unique colors of autumn. Originally, you could get to the beach faster with light work, but when you think that there are a lot of strange goods in the mountains, you can bring more if you can take them out.
Jiu Ge picks fruits all the way and puts them into the jade luan, just in case of emergency. The space of Yuluan is outside the original time and space, and the things put in will not deteriorate with the changes of time and space, and even the temperature and humidity of the things are no different from before they were put in, and the freshness is completely beyond imagination. Xiao Jin'er on the side was more knowledgeable than Jiu Ge, and all the medicinal herbs she encountered for various purposes were included in Yuluan. Jiu Ge watched him pick medicine, and when he was bored, he would pick some flowers and plants to collect them, and when he went out of this sea, it was the beginning of a new life, and he might not come back. Besides, Jiu Ge has also seen the effect of the herbs here, so he naturally has to bring more of them with him, and he may be able to sell them for a good price when he goes to sea.
At sunset, they arrived at the beach, and at this time the two were on the west side of the island, separated by a sandy beach more than ten meters wide between the dense forest and the sea. It was easy to be found without the cover of trees, and after thinking about it, he decided to stay in the woods, ate some fruit, and asked Xiao Jin'er on the side to sleep, and Jiu Ge kept the vigil by himself.
It wasn't until sunrise that a small fishing boat came to the seashore that Jiu Ge woke up the sleeping child next to him.
"In a while, we will pretend to be a disciple of the Seven Star Sect, pretend to be sent a mission out of the mountain, if you are afraid, just stand behind me, don't speak, you know?"
Xiao Jin'er rolled her eyes in her heart, let's climb out of the pile of dead people, okay~_~, what do you mean to be afraid of pinching? But she nodded obediently, this sister can still be trusted, after all, she has no better way.
So the two of them swaggered towards the beach with their hands behind their backs, and shouted a few times at the fishing boat in an extremely arrogant manner.
Hearing the sound, the boat sped up and docked towards Jiu Ge. Because there was no wharf, the fishing boat stopped not far from the shore, and then an old man with slightly white hair came down, and when he saw Jiu Ge and the two, he greeted him politely.
"Bring the goods here. Jiu Ge glanced at the boat, his tone sophisticated, decent.
When the old man heard this, he beckoned behind him.
Immediately, a young man, tall, carrying a bag of things walked towards Jiu Ge, put the sack down, glanced up and down at Jiu Ge, and then walked behind the old man and stood up.
Jiu Ge was heartbroken by his eyes for a while, but even so, he still made a calm gesture towards the other party on his face.
"There's Uncle Lao. The silver was first used to settle the money for the goods this time, and secondly, the mountain sent me and my brother and I to go out of the mountain to bother the old man's ship, and the rest was to invite the old man to drink. "The silver bars that Jiu Ge took out in the cave were all ten taels and one ingots, and at this moment he took out ten ingots, but he didn't hand them over, and when he saw that the other party's eyes kept glancing at the silver, Jiu Ge knew that the matter was half done.
"What about this..."
"You don't have to bother with this, someone will pick it up. Jiu Ge said as he handed over the silver.
The old man took the money and led the two to the boat.
got on the boat, and Jiu Ge's hanging heart also let go.
"What is the first thing Xiao Jin'er wants to do when she leaves the mountain?"
"Hmm~ have a good meal. ”
"Hahaha, me too, when I'm full, I'll get a good night's sleep. ”
The two of them sat on the deck, dreaming of the future. In this way, the wind is smooth, and when you go out of this sea, the world is big, and you can go happily. There is a body of kung fu, fairy grass, money, and a jade luan that can hold a lot of things.
"Yuluan... No, Xiao Jin'er, we're on the thief ship. Jiu Ge's heart tightened violently, and when he looked out, the ship was moving, but it was not getting farther and farther away from the island, and it was moving around the island. It's all because the idea of going out is too strong, and I didn't think of this.
There are a lot of good things in the mirage, although there may not be such an immortal product as Yuluan, but the storage bag is also the top on the market. The storage bag can hold everything, but it can't hold people, so the ship that comes must not be loaded with goods, but with people. These two people are in a boat, not only did they debunk Jiu Ge's tricks, but they also played with her, and even let them get on the boat, and the direction of the boat... In this way, there are only two possibilities, one is that these two people are from the mirage, and it is very likely that they are powerful, and the second possibility is that these two people are simply transporting goods and taking the two to the mirage to invite merit.
Either way, as long as they are brought back to the Mirage, the end will definitely be much worse than suffering in the Mirage. Thinking of this, Jiu Ge couldn't help but shudder, for the sake of today's plan, he could only explore the strength of these two people before making plans.
Jiu Ge made a calculation in his heart for a while, and was about to get up, when there was a pungent nose in his nose. The other party has already started, but it's a pity that the Seven Star Sect's identification training on poison is cruel but in place, Jiu Ge can not only survive among thousands of poisons, but also naturally not cover the identification of smells. Jiu Ge immediately held his breath, and took out a detoxifying herb from Yuluan and ate it, Xiao Jin'er on the side had already fainted because he was defenseless, Jiu Ge also stuffed one into his mouth, and then lay down and pretended to be dizzy.
If the other party has already used poison, it means that he is not sure, and his strength will not be too strong, that is, there is nothing to be afraid of.
