Chapter 102: A Visit Here
Ye Shuying was hugged tightly by Hua Wuniang, her body fell into the bottomless pit, and she didn't know that she had fallen dozens of zhang deep, and her body occasionally touched the stone wall, sometimes her left arm, sometimes the sword in her hand, and sometimes her feet tripped on the stone wall, bumping and falling all the way, and she understood that she had fallen into a deep hole, although this cave was deep, it was not spacious.

He endured the severe pain, pushed out the Yintai sword, and the blade of the sword was inserted into the stone wall. The Yintai sword was extremely sharp, sharpened like clay, and was inserted in the stone wall to bear the weight of two people, so it cut all the way down the stone wall like cutting tofu.
Although Ye Shuying's body was still falling, its speed had slowly slowed down. It's just that his right arm is straining, pulling the muscles in his right chest, and the wound that pierces his chest hurts sharply, and the blood can't stop flowing.
He came to his senses, and his left hand broke Hua Wu Niang's arms tightly around his body, only to feel that as soon as Hua Wu Niang's body left him, the speed of the silver sword cutting down the stone wall slowed down a little, but it still couldn't stop falling.
Hua Wuniang had died of exhaustion, and when her body fell, Ye Shuying only heard the whirring wind and the sound of her body stumbling against the stone wall coming from the bottom of the cave, the sound became weaker and weaker, farther and farther away, and gradually became silent, but she could never hear her body falling to the bottom of the cave. It seems that this bottomless pit is really difficult to see the bottom.
Ye Shuying stepped on the stone wall with both feet, then pulled out the Yintai sword, turned the direction lightly when the body popped back, and then quickly inserted the sword body into the stone wall, and the body hung firmly next to the stone wall.
At this time, the pain in his chest was unbearable, and his right arm was almost weak, so he changed to his left hand to hold the hilt of the sword, gradually released his right hand, and turned out the fire fold from the placket of his clothes, bit the lid with his teeth and pulled it open, and with a slight flick, the fire fold ignited. It was only by the faint light of the fire that he could see his surroundings clearly.
This bottomless pit is not very large, only wider than an ordinary ancient well, and the stone wall is pitch black and cold, and it is difficult to find a protruding rock as a foothold.
Ye Shuying couldn't see the entrance of the cave when he looked up, and couldn't see the bottom of the cave when he looked down, and said in his heart: "Isn't this the bottomless pit in the forbidden land of the back mountain that Hong'er said?" and looked at the blood-stained clothes on his chest again, feeling his physical strength weakening a little bit, and he was really helpless.
If he was at the peak of his skill, he repeatedly struck the stone wall obliquely downward with the power of his palm, relying on the rebound force of the stone wall to the oblique upward, and turned up in a zigzag shape, and went straight to the entrance of the cave with all his might, so that he could leave this bottomless pit, but with his current physical condition, this only possibility became impossible.
Ye Shuying supported for a moment, he really couldn't think of any way, he was almost desperate, his right hand suddenly trembled, and the fire fold fell. He secretly screamed in his heart, losing this faint light, the cave was pitch black, he could not see anything, and there was no possibility of getting out alive.
Ye Shuying only watched the faint firelight get farther and farther away from him, and he couldn't see it immediately. Who knew that the glow stopped suddenly, like a firefly lying on the stone wall, flashing and flashing, flickering and dimming, but no longer moving.
Ye Shuying was surprised in his heart, he couldn't see what was below, and he was really curious, so he slammed his knee into the stone wall, pulled out the Yintai sword with the force of rebound, and let his body fall, until he was about to fall to the place where the fire fold was, and then inserted the sword body into the stone wall flat.
At this time, the fire fold was not far from the toes, Ye Shuying looked down carefully, and saw that it was a rock that was tilting upwards and protruding, and just caught the fire fold.
Ye Shuying was overjoyed, pulled out the long sword from the stone wall again, turned around lightly and skillfully, and landed on the protruding stone, standing still. He breathed a sigh of relief, sat down against the stone wall, put his sword aside, and tapped a few times on his right chest to stop the bleeding. He took out the gold sore medicine that Shen Yuhong gave him, untied the white handkerchief on his shoulder, poured the gold sore medicine on the handkerchief, covered the wound on his chest, and after a while, poured some medicine powder on the handkerchief again, and covered his back with his backhand.
Ye Shuying took a deep breath, only to feel a coolness on the wound, and the pain was slightly reduced, so he put away the handkerchief, picked up the fire fold, and took a closer look at the cave scene.
It turns out that although this bottomless pit is bottomless, it is not completely vertical, near this protruding stone, it is the twists and turns of this cave, the amplitude of the twists and turns is not large, ordinary objects fall here from the hole, even if they encounter these small bends, they will never stop, and even the speed of falling will not slow down, but it may cause bumps, or from falling to rolling or slipping.
Ye Shuying moved the fire fold behind him again, wanting to see if the texture and structure of this stone wall were possible to climb up, but found that there were three lines with a total of twelve words on the smooth stone wall behind him, which read: "Crazy Luyan, buried here, dead without looking away." ”
Ye Shuying was surprised when he saw this: "It turns out that the 'Scholar Sword' Lu Yan also rested here when he fell here. But if he had died on this stone, which was not very large, if he had sat on his back against the stone wall, as I had done now, he would not have fallen again. ”
Ye Shuying rested for a moment, and then thought: "Listening to the conversation between Zhang Xuan and Yang Ming that day, the 'Scholar Sword' Lu Yan was manipulated by Hu Jie of the Qiyun Sect in the food, and it should have been beaten into the bottomless pit when he was fighting with Zhang Xuan. I might as well go down and take a look, if I can find his body, and die with this generation of famous swords, I won't die alone. Thinking like this, he carved seven words next to the twelve words with his long sword: "Ye Shuying is here for a visit." ”
He looked at these seven words, and said to himself: "We are all dying in this bottomless pit, you were framed and unjustly died, but I have many unfinished things, although I can't turn a blind eye, but I can't live up to the little time left." ”
As he spoke, he jumped off the rock, and his whole body slid downwards involuntarily. Although the cave down is not vertical, it is also close to vertical, the declination angle is extremely small, Ye Shuying's feet only slip faster and faster, and he can't control the balance at all, and the entire back also slides down against the stone wall, and the skin on his back is rubbed so hot that it almost smokes. After a few moments, it was so uncomfortable that he stuck his sword against the stone wall again and stopped.
After sliding down several times, the bottomless pit became vertical again, but the stone wall was not as smooth as the top, but uneven, and Ye Shuying took those protruding rocks as a foothold and jumped downward.
After going a few feet deeper, the cave became more spacious than the top, and the rocks protruding from the stone wall became more and more and larger, and gradually some small caves that could accommodate them appeared.
Ye Shuying took a closer look at these caves and found that they were all shallow, and the "Scholar Sword" Lu Yan was not "buried" in those small caves, and this bottomless pit was still close to vertical and bottomless. He continued to explore and went a few feet deeper, only to find a small cave that was very deep horizontally, and he couldn't help but walk in.
This horizontal small cave twists and turns, after going deeper than ten zhang, it turns and goes up, not far away, and turns left and right, up and down, it seems that there is no end.
This cave can no longer be called a cave, it should be regarded as a naturally formed hole, but I don't know where it will lead. Ye Shuying thought to herself: "If Mr. Lu, the 'Scholar Sword', discovers this passage, maybe he will also come in and explore." He took advantage of the faint light of the fire fold and kept walking along the passage, and he didn't know how far he had walked, let alone whether he had gone up or down, when he suddenly heard the sound of some water flowing in his ears, and he rejoiced in his heart: "Could it be that there is no other way out of this bottomless pit?"
Ye Shuying walked briskly along the hole for more than ten zhang away, and this hole really came to an end, and the outside of the hole was particularly spacious.
Ye Shuying jumped down from the hole, only to feel that the place where he landed was damp and cold, and a few steps further was the murmuring water, but all around were concave and convex stones, and he couldn't see a little soil, nor did he see a single flower or tree, and it was dark all around, even if it was a dark night, it was not so dark, not to mention that the moonlight was excellent when he fell into the bottomless pit.
Ye Shuying was puzzled in her heart, held up the faint light of the fire, and couldn't help but be taken aback when she looked up, only to see that there was not a starry sky overhead, but countless upside-down stalagmites, of different sizes and lengths. Looking around, there are also stalactites of different forms, some are still dripping with water, and some have touched the water, and the stones of the river are integrated, and there are thousands of postures and uneven forests.
It turned out that he did not come out of the bottomless pit, but went to the course of an underground dark river.
The river is more than four feet wide and more than three feet high, but the water level is not high, and the deepest part is only about two feet deep, and there are bare rocks on both sides.
Ye Shuying said in his heart: "Although I haven't gone out yet, there must be an exit from the underground dark river, as long as I follow the flow of water, I will definitely be able to go out." ”
An underground river is an underground river channel formed by the collection of groundwater, with a certain range of underground catchment basins, often with outlets but no inlets.
If Ye Shuying can walk out along this underground river, it is the only way out at present, he has to go up from the bottomless pit and get out of the fall, unless he heals his injuries first, but there is no food in this underground river, it is still difficult to save his life, how can he talk about recuperating his injuries? Therefore, he must take advantage of the fact that he still has the physical strength to get out of this underground river as soon as possible.
Seeing that the fire was about to burn out, Ye Shuying blew it out, put it away, and touched the stone wall of the riverbed in the dark to follow the direction of the water.
