Chapter 17 The Sky Full of Stars
Legend has it that the Heavenly Star Cave is the place where the world's heroic spirits return after their deaths, and all those who are disrespectful to the heroic spirits will be engulfed by ghost fire if they want to enter the Heavenly Star Cave. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Back then, there was a master of the Nine Rank Vajra Realm, relying on his own strength, and wanted to enter the cave to collect the blood of bloodthirsty bats for his soon-to-be-born child, and wash the essence of the child's future martial arts foundation.
Unexpectedly, he was engulfed in ghost fire the moment he entered, and he wailed in the cave for three days and three nights before he died of exhaustion.
At this point, Tianxing Cave has become a forbidden area for martial artists in the rivers and lakes, and no one dares to break in by force.
But is that really the case?
Of course not, if Hou Ping'an was here, he would definitely know that the so-called ghost fire is nothing more than phosphorus reaching a certain natural critical point and burning. According to the composition and density of phosphorus, there are several different colors of the burning ghost fire.
The bloodthirsty bats on the mountain field began to rush in again after the fire was extinguished. By the time Yue Laoqi was about to go in again, they were barely visible outside.
The sky was white, and the bloodthirsty bat, which had just bared its teeth at the entrance of the cave to warn the intruders, gradually disappeared after the light came out.
By the faint light of the early morning, a few people at the entrance of the cave could see the appearance of this.
It turns out that there are two roads in the Sky Star Cave, one straight inside, this is the lair of bloodthirsty bats, and they all came out of here.
There is also a straight down, deep and no light can be seen.
The people at the entrance of the cave were full of curiosity. But there were no Hou Dahai brothers among the people who were talking, because they had long known the topography of this cave.
That straight road, they used to go in.
The crowd that had been busy all night in the mountains and fields gradually gathered to see what was going on here and why so many people gathered. But without exception, they were all blocked by the people of the Cui Hou family a hundred steps away.
Yue Laoqi tried to shout, wanting to see if Hou Ping'an could hear it. But as soon as the shouting began, the sound of wings flapping could be heard from the straight passage.
I entered again with a torch, but there was another fire like last time.
As a last resort, they had to find someone with a rope tied to their bodies and go down to the hole to see.
But the hole was so deep that I couldn't get to the end of the rope several times.
A group of people could only gather around the entrance of the cave and there was nothing they could do.
After the daylight finally brightened, Hou Dahai could only leave unwillingly. While continuing to lengthen the rope, he planned to gather men and search the mountains to see if there was another exit.
Cui Yu had the same plan as Hou Dahai, and after leaving a few people here, he also left. However, he did not immediately gather his men, but went to interrogate a few people who remained at the inn to see if he had guessed wrong, and that someone else had kidnapped his daughter.
The busyness outside was unknown to Hou Ping'an at this time.
At this time, he had just been woken up by a burst of crying.
The voice sounded familiar to him, but he couldn't remember who it was.
He knew that the owner of the cry was the burden he had in his arms last night.
He also knew that the person who could fit this burden would only be a child.
But he didn't know how to deal with this child.
Darkness brings fear, but also helplessness. If Hou Ping'an wasn't quite strong, maybe he would cry as loudly as the owner of the crying voice at this time.
But he knew that crying was the most useless emotion.
Hou Ping'an told himself that if God could let him survive the car accident, he would definitely not let himself die here.
Hou Ping'an stretched out his hand and put it on the body of the crybaby beside him, intending to say a few words of comfort.
But as soon as his hand was put on it, it was as if something had fallen off it.
Hou Ping'an didn't know if that thing would fall on him, but just in case, the hitchhiker immediately turned into a hug.
Wrap your arms around the crybaby and roll around.
As soon as he rolled away, he heard the sound of heavy objects falling. Hou Ping'an exclaimed happiness.
If I had woken up a little late, or if I had hesitated a little longer, I might have been able to go on a date with Yama.
Hou Ping'an didn't know whether it was a person or an object that fell, but he knew that it was definitely not something to save himself.
The crybaby in his arms didn't know if he was frightened by Hou Ping'an or the falling thing, and he had stopped crying at this time.
Although this is what Hou Ping'an wants to do, he knows that it is not a good thing for a child to be really scared silly.
Hou Ping'an slapped the child next to him, at this time, he was extremely expectant, and the cry that made him so annoying just now sounded again.
The voice did sound, but it was not the cry that Hou Ping'an was expecting, but a moan similar to pain.
Hearing this voice, Hou Ping'an was cold.
How did this man, who just used himself as a weapon, get here?
Hou Ping'an didn't dare to move, let alone make any sound. Holding the child in his arms vigorously, looking for a trace of psychological comfort.
But what you hope for is often what God doesn't want.
While Hou Ping'an was quietly waiting for his fate, the child in his arms cried again, crying louder than just now.
The cry was loud but did not bring hope, only the oozing laughter of the heavy figure.
The laughter pierced through the eardrums and into the brain, filling the heart with infinite fear. Despair is spreading.
The man finally moved, as if he was slowly standing up, as if he was slowly approaching.
Just as Hou Ping'an was waiting for his fate to come, he heard the sound of the other party falling.
Faint hope is lit.
Hou Ping'an didn't care whether his body could stand it at this time, and he didn't care about the children around him. As soon as he pulled it up, he walked on.
It doesn't matter if the dark hole will hit the wall, and it doesn't matter if there are demons in the netherworld.
As long as he can live one more second, he is willing.
Hou Ping'an didn't know how long he had been gone, and the child he was holding slowly stopped crying.
When he finally saw a little light along the cave wall, the feeling of being rescued almost caused him to collapse to the ground.
Gritting his teeth, he moved forward step by step. The light also became round little by little. It wasn't until the round light filled his eyes that he couldn't hold it anymore and fainted again.
Coma is a form of self-protection of the brain for bodily functions. Shrinking and huddling together is also another kind of protection for human beings.
When Hou Ping'an woke up again, there was a small figure shrunk into a ball lying in his arms.
It was only after blinking his eyes hard that he could see who was in his arms.
What if you just see it clearly?
After perceiving that there was no danger for the time being, Hou Ping'an tried to stand up, but this time he failed to succeed. The section of the road in the cave just now can be said to have exhausted the last of his essence.
At this time, he only felt that his whole body hurt everywhere. If possible, he really wanted to lie down in the ICU and have the doctor do a big check-up for his whole body.
Hou Ping'an, who couldn't stand up, tried to observe the surrounding environment. Only to realize that he seemed to have just walked from a small cave into a large valley.
There are stone walls on the left and right, and at the foot is a shallow stream paved with gravel, and the head is ...... Overhead are the stars in the sky.
