Chapter 14: The Remains of the Mine
As he expected, the speed of the water in the pool was getting faster and faster, and it didn't take long for the entire stone hall to be completely submerged, and the water level was still rising, and it soon flooded to the place where Tang Yun was.
Tang Yun, who was taken aback by the sudden rise of the water, immediately turned around and ran back, picked up two blue crystals and walked towards the heights.
But what he didn't expect was that the water would rise so violently, and in just a few minutes, the entire cave would be submerged, forcing him to burrow into the ground and brave the heavy rain to climb to a large tree with lush foliage to take shelter temporarily.
Tang Yun, who was hanging on a tree branch, looked at the stone cave that was constantly spraying sewage with a painful face, which was supposed to be the gate of his house, but now it had become a fountain!
Although Tang Yun was so anxious that he wanted to scold his mother now, but in the face of the natural power of this heaven and earth, he was helpless, and he sulked for a while, so he no longer paid attention to it, but spit out the two blue crystals in his mouth and put them in a wide place on the branch.
After staring at the two blue crystals for a long time, Tang Yun turned his heart sideways and swallowed one in one bite.
As before, as the blue crystal entered his stomach, a scorching energy suddenly appeared in his stomach, and as the meridians of the stomach spread rapidly throughout his body, constantly burning his flesh and blood.
Tang Yun, who had had an experience, did not hesitate, and hurriedly controlled his true qi and began to operate in his body, constantly devouring this energy that burned flesh and blood, and after a while, the scorching energy in his body was swallowed up, and his dantian unexpectedly felt a feeling of expansion.
Feeling that the true qi in the dantian was too abundant, Tang Yun didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly controlled the true qi to condense the tricks on the kidneys. He needs to consume this cheap true qi as soon as possible, otherwise what awaits him will not be an adventure, but a life-urging Lord Yama.
Just like the true qi generated by the crystal before, this time Tang Yun also successfully condensed the two points on the kidney, making the number of points on the kidney reach one hundred and five.
"Hey! This time I really met a baby, and I actually condensed four tricks at once, if I was allowed to condense like before, I am afraid that it may not be possible in ten days and half a month. ”
Tang Yun thought as he swallowed the remaining crystal.
Not surprisingly, he once again condensed the two points on the kidneys, and only needed to condense the last point, and his kidneys could be considered to be completed in his cultivation, and he could start the last step of the cultivation of the five organs, the condensation of the liver points.
However, at this time, Tang Yun, who did not have the blue crystal, could only refine his own qi and blood step by step, and then accumulate true qi, and wait until the amount of true qi was sufficient, before he could start to condense the last trick point above the kidney.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.
Tang Yun had gone through several extravagant cultivations, and when he hadn't obtained the blue crystal before, he felt that his speed of refining qi and blood to accumulate true qi was still passable, but now that he was back and painstakingly polishing his qi and blood, he felt that the accumulation speed of true qi was like a snail crawling, and it was outrageously slow.
Glancing at the stone cave that was still spraying water, Tang Yun sighed again, no matter how crazy he was now, it would be useless, it was better to calm down and slowly accumulate true qi, and see if he could condense the last trick point on his kidneys before the flood receded.
Tang Yun, who calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, returned to his old life, the only difference was that his old nest was moved from the cave to the top of the big tree.
The heavy rain fell intermittently for more than ten days, until Tang Yun condensed the last trick on the kidney, and then slowly began to clear up.
However, although the sky was clear, the flood still did not recede at the first time, thinking that it was because the water source of this swamp was still raining, Tang Yun was not too anxious, anyway, he had waited for such a long time, and he was not in a hurry for the next day or two now.
The water lasted for more than half a month before slowly receding, but for a while, Tang Yun didn't dare to go back to the cave, for fear that the water would suddenly flood again, if he couldn't come out in time, even if he had nine lives, it wouldn't be enough to play, this was not a game, and he couldn't run the soul resurrection if he hung up.
Hanging his body on a big tree, basking in the sun for three days, seeing that the sky was still clear and there was no sign of rain, Tang Yun also relaxed at this time, and went into the cave where he had lived for more than half a year.
The cave that had been ravaged by the flood had now become very dirty, and the soft dead leaves that Tang Yun had collected as mattresses had now been soaked in the flood and had experienced three days of hot weather, and had begun to rot and stink, and just when he entered the cave, a pungent swamp smell gave him a dismount, so frightened that he quickly got out of the cave again, and waited until the next morning to re-enter.
At this moment, the smell of swamp in the cave has faded a lot, and a faint but real wind blows from the depths of the cave, not only blowing away the poisonous gas in the cave, but also bringing fresh air to the cave.
Drilling into the cave, Tang Yun didn't have the energy to deal with the ubiquitous rotting leaves, but quickly slid towards the depths of the cave, enjoying the abundant true qi brought by the blue crystal, and now letting him slowly refine the qi and blood, but he felt impatient.
After more than ten days of flooding, more than a foot of mud was deposited in the cave, and Tang Yun slid between it, just like in the mud of a swamp, he only felt that there was no place in his body that was comfortable, if it was normal, he would never come to this kind of place.
Soon, Tang Yun came to the stone hall where the big lizard had bitten to death, and as soon as he entered the stone hall, a pungent stench hit her, so frightened that he quickly put away the snake hyacinth, and no longer dared to sense the smell around him.
Under the investigation of thermal vision, Tang Yun soon discovered the source of the smell, which was the corpse of the big lizard that he had bitten to death before!
After more than half a month of sewage soaking, the body of the big lizard was already in a semi-decomposed state, and it was soaked in sewage to swell, like a balloon that had been blown up, and there were body fluids oozing out from time to time in the cracks of the epidermis, which was really disgusting.
"Your uncle's ......"
Tang Yun scolded secretly. As soon as he came, he encountered such a thing, which made him feel that the whole snake was not good, as if it was a sign that he was going to have bad luck all day today.
After a few curses in his heart, he dragged his body and rolled up some broken stones to bury the body of the big lizard, after all, there was a passage leading to his lair from this stone hall, and if he left it alone, if the smell reached the outside one day, then he would have to move.
After burying the body of the big lizard, Tang Yun had the leisure to explore the rest of the stone hall.
Soon, he found the clue - in fact, there was a pit the size of a bathtub in the middle of the stone hall, which led zigzag deeper into the ground. Judging from the traces of the current washing, the great flood that flooded his lair before came out of this hole.
Tang Yun put his head into the hole, spit out the snake letter and sensed it, but he didn't find any peculiar smell except for the breath of water, so he was relieved to boldly drill in.
He didn't go far in the pothole, he found a piece of blue crystals that were half-buried in the sediment, and after carefully looking at the location of the sediment and crystals, he suddenly found that these blue crystals should have been washed by the flood from the other end of the pothole, that is to say, there should be a lot of blue crystals at the other end of the pothole.
With such thoughts, Tang Yun's heart couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly accelerated his speed, and soon came to the end of the pothole.
At the end of the crater was a narrow crack that looked just over twenty centimeters wide.
"I don't know how the big lizard got through this crack in the first place. Tang Yun looked at the narrow crack and was a little surprised, and after sighing, he drilled the crack out.
As soon as the crack came out, Tang Yun exerted his heat sensing ability to the extreme, and the infrared rays emitted by the surrounding environment were immediately captured by him, and restored to his own understandable appearance in his brain.
Tang Yun was a little dumbfounded by this investigation, he found that he was in a cave with very obvious traces of artificial excavation, and there were some metal supports engraved with strange runes around the cave, so that the cave would not collapse.
The appearance of this cave is not unfamiliar to Tang Yun, it is clearly the appearance of those pits he saw in his previous life!
"Anyone?"
Tang Yun was taken aback by the traces of human activity, for fear that a human would suddenly jump out of nowhere, and then beat himself to death with a shovel, and then stew it into a pot of snake soup, and eat it beautifully.
As soon as he thought of this, Tang Yun immediately stood up vigilantly and spit out the snake letter, sensing the smell around him with all his strength. After a while, he realized that there was no smell of any living creatures around him except for the smell left behind by the flood - there was no one in this pit!
Not perceiving the existence of human beings, Tang Yun's heart also calmed down, and at this time, some details of the surrounding environment were also noticed by him.
Although the traces of artificial excavation of this pit are very obvious, the traces of being washed away by floods many times are also very obvious, and some places have not been repaired after collapse...... In short, this place is simply an abandoned mine.
Seeing clearly that this place was just an abandoned mine, and there would be no more human activities, Tang Yun was also greatly relieved, and searched around the narrow crack for a long time, but did not find the kind of blue crystal, so he burrowed back into the crack without looking back.
