Chapter 21: The Choice

Like 10,000 years of time passing by, in a bottomless place that seems to be isolated from the world, a child's body lies quietly in the dark.

There was endless darkness all around, and sometimes there was a fire that rose out of nowhere, and in an instant the light of the world was brightened, and the darkness was said goodbye for a short time, and then in an instant, the fire gathered in the middle of nowhere, and then the darkness returned to the world.

Xiao Yi just lay quietly like that, as if this world no longer had anything to do with him, and the prosperity and decline of this world had nothing to do with him anymore.

I don't know how much time has passed, but there is no sound in the silence of the crypt.

In this extreme silence, Xiao Yi's stiff body moved slightly, and his eyelids slowly opened, looking at the world that had abandoned him.

For a long time, he didn't say a word, as if he already knew his fate.

There is a faint amount of heavenly light in the endless overhead, which is the world in which human beings live, and they are abandoned by human beings like this.

When he was suffering from heat poison, Ruan Wushan's rescue not only failed to make him feel better in the slightest, but backfired, forcing three small arrows into his meridians, making him suffer from the poison attacking the meridians.

His body was damaged by the spread of poison, his facial features were useless, and his limbs were useless, but the little clarity of his spiritual platform still struggled to support his life, and he felt it the moment Ruan Wushan threw him down the crypt.

He knew all this, and he thought he was going to leave this world forever.

But at this moment, his eyes brought him back into this world.

Am I still alive?, he thought.

He wanted to stand up, he wanted to lift his limbs, but he couldn't, his body didn't seem to be his own anymore.

He could only lie quietly like that, looking at this strange place with eyes that were still his.

But the only thing he could see was that the world was far above him, far above the head that had abandoned him.

His eyes were a little moist, but he stubbornly told himself in his heart, don't, don't be sad about any injustice in this world, because they don't deserve to be sad about themselves, even if they die immediately, this is a gift from God.

He just lay there, rolling his eyes to look as far as he could see, and all he could see was darkness except for the little light of the sky cast high up in the crypt.

He wasn't scared, but felt a little strange, what was this?

Perhaps it was the child's nature, and after a while, he closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly.

After a long time, he was awakened by a fierce hunger, and before he could open his eyes, he heard a series of gurgling sounds.

It's the sound of hunger coming from your own stomach.

I'm alive.

His first reaction was.

He slowly opened his eyes, and there was more light in the crypt, perhaps because of the fact that there was so much light in the sky.

I was so blind that I could see what was going on around me.

He wanted to turn his head, but there was an unbearable pain coming from his back, stretching straight to his head, he wanted to cry out in pain, but his throat was dull and could not make a sound, in the severe pain, his eyes were closed, and he fainted.

When he woke up again, he no longer felt hungry, but instead he felt a deep thirst, his lips as if they were dry, and that feeling extended to the depths of his life.

"Thirsty ......"

He finally spoke.

But there was silence all around, and there was no response.

He subconsciously moved his hands and feet, but this time he was surprised to find that his fingers could move slightly, but then the price was a series of pain.

The pain spread through his body instantly, but this time it was not as bad as last time, and he did not pass out.

He endured the severe pain, turned his head hard, and a sharp pain came again, as if the whole person was about to collapse.

But he still clenched his teeth and tried to move himself.

He had only one belief in his heart: I want to live.

Pity this child, while his peers are still living their own beautiful childhoods at home, he is experiencing a completely different world.

He thought, I still have to find my sister, I still have to find Brother Bai, I, I can't die yet.

He tried to move his body, but with every move there was an endless pain spreading through his body.

After a while, he was full of itching, and he knew that it was because of the lack of water in his body that he could not sweat.

It took him a long, long time before he could make out what was going on in the crypt.

From the endless darkness on the left, about two or three feet away, there was a hazy place, which seemed to be the ocean, but it didn't seem to be, and the light was dimly radiating outward, and only when the occasional fire rose inside, you could see that it was a flowing world, which seemed to be a burning fire. He had heard people talk about the scene in the crypt in Fushou Mountain before, and it must have been the light emitted by the jewel that suppressed the fire of the earth.

On the right side of himself, about a foot away, there was an empty place, but at the extreme corner, there was a fainter place, which seemed to be a cave, and other than that, there were stone walls and earthworks all around.

And above me, I'm afraid it's four or five feet above the ground.

He became familiar with his surroundings and wondered how to find a way out.

I can't shout in my throat now, it's impossible to call, even if I call for help, will anyone come to save me?

Other than that, do you still have a chance to live?

If you lie still and don't move, you will only die of hunger and thirst.

And a sea of treasures on the left, if you are buried in it, there is still a little bit of wealth and death.

And on the right side, there is nothing but the one that looks like a cave, is it really a cave? it could be a cave with a slight depression in the earthen hole, it could be a cave, but it could be a cave of some kind of animal, it could be an empty cave, it could be a ......

On a whim, maybe there was an immortal living in it?

It could or could be...... There may be many possibilities.

He struggled with his thoughts, he thought fiercely in his head, and he was afraid that if he stopped thinking a little, his thoughts would suddenly and forever leave him, and he would instantly become a real zombie, and from then on, buried in the dust, never to be alive again.

No, I want to live, I don't want to die, since I was poisoned by heat and didn't die immediately, since I was still in the mouth of the crypt more than five feet high and didn't die, it is God's favor for me, and it is the reason why I want to live.

Even if it was all of a sudden in the next moment, he suddenly couldn't support it and died, and he was willing. But now, I'm alive, and being alive is the only reason for me to challenge my fate, and I'm going to live.

In his mind, he recalled the past like a passing lantern, the white dust he met for the first time on the mountain, the talking willow father-in-law in Daliu Village, the demon fox who was hugged by himself and finally turned into blood, the four benevolent and righteous people who suddenly appeared in the Taixu Cave of Luoarc Mountain, the poor and lovely Shou'er on Fushou Mountain, the golden villain who shot small arrows, and the crypt that devoured him and was destined to become his grave......

He thought hard about it, and he was afraid that if he paused for a moment, his mind would leave him.

His throat was dry, his eyes were dry, and even his blood seemed to be dry, but his heart was still moistened like a flowing river.

A breath remains, never give up.

He turned his head to the right and moved resolutely to the right.
