Chapter Seventy-Three: Hunger, Thirst, and Fatigue

At this time, Mingyue Yu, who was beside him without saying a word, spoke: "Uncle Shi, you are too angry, why can't you let it go?"

Hua Yinong heard the voice of Mingyue Yu, and said sharply: "You should ask your master about this, and let her tell you why I am so angry and can't let go of it." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Mingyue said: "I don't know what happened between you and my master, but the master has always cared about you, last time she heard that the people of the Qingfeng Sect had found the Xingyue Slow Palace, so she hurriedly sent me to help you, after all these years, don't you feel a little bit?"

Hua Yi said: "I can't tell you these words, when will your master come and tell me in person, but for the sake of you just called me uncle, I can spare you from dying, as long as you are willing to send a letter to Qiu Qingman and ask her to hand over the Heart Sutra." ”

Mingyue said: "The Wunian Heart Sutra is only passed on to the master, and it is impossible for the master to hand over the Wunian Heart Sutra to you, so don't dream anymore." ”

Hua Yi said: "Your master has accepted a total of two disciples, your little junior sister is not yet an adult, this Wu Nian Heart Sutra will be passed on to you sooner or later, if you die, then this Wu Nian Heart Sutra will have no one to pass on, is she so ruthless, watching you die?"

Mingyue said: "Even so, I won't write this letter." ”

Hua Yi said: "Don't be stubborn first, when you feel better, think about it inside, whether to die with them or let Qiu Qingman hand over the Wunian Heart Sutra to live, and tell me when you figure it out." ”

Everyone was in a hurry in the stone cave, and Zheng Yu said: "Why don't we find out if there are other exits." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Brother Zheng is right, there is no other way now, anyway, I can't get out here, or I will look elsewhere, what if there is?" So everyone looked around inside with torches, but they turned around for a long time and returned to the same place, still without any clues. It took a lot of effort to open the three stone gates before, but now they have been walking around the stone cave for a long time, and they have no energy, they are exhausted, and there is no water or food in them, and they are hungry and thirsty. Shu Lianyi couldn't help but shout: "I'm starving to death, I haven't eaten for a day, what should I do, everyone think of a way, are we going to sit here and wait for death?" Jing Xining suddenly stood up and walked inside, Chai Rong said, "Big brother, what are you going to do?"

Jing Xining said: "I'll look for it again to see if there is any water, I can't die of thirst here." ”

Chai Rong said: "I'll go with you!" Jing Xining saw that Chai Rong was also tired, his lips were chapped, and said, "You just sit here, I'll go back." ”

Jing Xining held on to the stone wall and walked forward slowly, there was no day in this cave, only relying on this fire fold to illuminate the road, Jing Xining looked up for a while, bent down and touched the ground for a while, and suddenly found that there was a shadow in the place of the fire, Jing Xining turned back to shine over, it turned out that it was Mingyue Yu who followed, Jing Xining said: "Yue Yue, didn't I let you rest there, why did you come?"

Mingyue said: "It's boring to sit there, it's better to walk around." ”

Jing Xining said: "Moon Song, no matter what, it is your uncle, if you intercede with her, maybe she will be able to read the old love network and open up." ”

Mingyue said: "My uncle has always been full of hatred for Master, so every time she sees me, her eyes are also full of hatred, the reason why she didn't kill me several times is just to use me to blackmail Master to get the Wunian Heart Sutra, how can she let me go." ”

Jing Xining said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, it's all my fault, I involved you, and let you suffer such a crime for no reason." ”

Mingyue said: "You sacrificed your life to save me from my uncle's palm, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died under her palm, and finding the treasure with you is just a gesture, what is it compared to your life-saving grace?"

The two of them talked as they walked, and they had walked far inside, Jing Xining suddenly called out with an "ah", and Mingyue Yu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Jing Xining touched his back with his hand and said excitedly: "It seems that a drop of water fell from above into my clothes just now." At this time, it was late autumn, the weather was cool, and the dampness in the stone cave was heavy, and it was even colder, and a drop of water fell on his back coldly, Jing Xining only felt a chill, but the unexpected water droplets made him completely forget the cold. Mingyue asked, "Really? Where, let me take a good look." Jing Xining raised the torch high above his head, shone on it, looked up, it was close to the stone wall, and suddenly a drop of water dripped down, Mingyue said: "Xining, there are really water droplets, look!"

The two of them looked at the top in amazement, and the droplets of water dripped from the top, one at a time, but they did not stop. Mingyue Yu pointed to the ground and said, "Xining, look, there is a small water vortex here, which should be formed by this water droplet dripping down for many years. ”

Jing Xining looked at it and sighed: "This is what people often say about the water droplet stone wearing, I didn't expect it to really let us see, this water should be soaked down from the top through layers of rocks, a small water drop can have such tenacious vitality, how can we be discouraged, just like this small water droplet, as long as you don't give up, don't admit defeat, there will always be a miracle!"

Mingyue said: "Xining, you are right, God in the dark is to let it give us strength, so that we will not give up easily and admit defeat easily." ”

Jing Xining said: "Go back and tell them the news, although there is no food, at least you can drink some water to quench your thirst first." ”

Just as Mingyue Yu and Jing Xining were about to leave, Chai Rong said, "Why hasn't the eldest brother come back after going for so long." It's dark here, could something happen?"

Shu Lianyi said, "Why hasn't Sister Ming come back yet?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Maybe they are together?" Shu Lianyi heard Zhao Kuangyin's words, her face immediately sank, Zheng Yu touched Zhao Kuangyin with her hand, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly reacted and said: "I mean don't worry, the eldest brother and Miss Ming should be back soon." At this moment, Jing Xining's voice came from a dark corner in the distance, "I found the water, I found the water."

"Found water?" Zheng Yu asked in surprise.

"Great!" Shu Lianyi suddenly stood up from the ground, and her mood suddenly improved again. Chai Rong and the four of them stood there, waiting for Jing Xining, and after a while, Jing Xining and Mingyue Yu returned from the darkness, Jing Xining said: "I found the water! Jing Xining and Mingyue Yu led them to the dripping place, everyone was hungry and thirsty, although there was nothing to eat, but it was good to be able to find the droplets. There was no utensils for holding water in the stone cave, everyone lined up to catch the water with their hands, held the water in the palm of their hands and drank it around, quenched their thirst, and their hearts suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, as if they had more strength. When they came to the door, everyone still knocked on the door and shouted and scolded Hua Yinong, but Hua Yinong ignored it completely, and stayed outside with Meng Siyou and others, sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed to cultivate their spirits.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "No one has responded to the scolding for so long, will it be gone?"

Zheng Yu said: "You think too much, Huayi is trying his best to trap us here and then take away this batch of treasures, how can it be easy to leave, it is estimated that we still have the strength to listen, and we want to come in when we can't move, let's rest more and save some energy." "Everyone really lost their spirits, although they didn't know the sky outside in the cave, but at this time it was already deep, and the people outside the cave also fell asleep on the ground, and the people inside did not eat for a day, so they had to go to sleep and enjoy a good meal.

On the second day, a few rays of sunlight penetrated through the ground and penetrated from under the stone gate, shaking everyone's eyes, and everyone rose from their sleep. Jing Xining said: "At this time, it is estimated that it is dawn outside. ”

At this time, Meng Siyou seemed a little impatient, and said to Hua Yinong: "Master, they have been trapped inside for a day and a night, and they have no resistance anymore, so why don't we attack it now, and wait here until when?"

Hua Yi said: "Jing Xining's kid's martial arts are unfathomable, Mingyue Yu and a few others are also extraordinary, this is just one day they are not as bad as you think, there is no light in it, we rush into it like this, it is easy to fall into their ambush, this is what they want us to do the most, you can be patient and wait." Meng Siyou bowed his head and said, "It's still the master who is thoughtful." ”

After another three days, everyone's bodies did not have any energy replenishment, all leaning against the stone wall, staggering, speaking weakly, the voice finally came out of the mouth without a little middle breath, Shu Lianyi said: "That old witch, do you really want to starve us to death here? I am already so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I think we are afraid that we will die silently guarding the treasures inside, and when the time comes, Hua Yinong will steal the things inside, and thousands of years later, when the descendants discover us, they will definitely rack their brains to study why we died here." ”

Zheng Yu said: "It's all at this time, you still have the heart to laugh." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "It's because it's like this, if you don't talk and laugh with everyone, you won't have a chance in the future." ”

Jing Xining said: "None of us can say sad words until the last moment, even if it is really unfortunate in the end, we can all die together without regrets." ”

Chai Rong said: "Big brother is right, with everyone together, why be afraid, I believe God will not bear to abandon us like this." ”

Zheng Yu said: "This time with everyone has made me really feel what true love is, and I Zheng is fortunate to be able to meet you." ”

At this time, the voice that had been silent for three days suddenly sounded from outside, "Mingyue Ballad, you shouldn't have been starved to death yet, I advise you to agree to me, anyway, I am your uncle, only you have this chance to come out alive from inside, you don't want to cut off your own life." ”

Mingyue replied in a hissing voice: "Uncle Shi, don't you want to pay attention to the Heart Sutra, hurry up and break this thought!"

Hua Yi said: "Why do you bother, the people inside are not related to you, why do you want to die with them, if you let Qiu Qingman know how sad she is." ”

Mingyue said: "People like you will never understand, it is useless to say more, Master will be pleased if he knows." ”

Hua Yi said angrily: "You are as hypocritical as your master, I don't believe that there are people in this world who are not afraid of death, and after two days, you will die." ”
