Chapter 185: Hunger

After that period of powerful nonsense, I don't know if Xu Chen's body was originally strong, or Tang Yan's persuasion had an effect, the high fever that had been going on gradually subsided, Xu Chen slowly regained consciousness, and he was awake, but the illness was still not light, and most of the time he was still lying down and resting.

On this day, Tang Yan wandered around the cave with nothing to do, and finally walked to the four sentences, looked at them carefully, and couldn't help but sigh. Xu Chen sat next to him and couldn't help asking, "What are you sighing for?"

Tang Yan snorted and said, "I sigh for the immortals, I am an immortal and a sage, but I am regarded by the world as a invincible demon, how unworthy it is!"

Xu Chen was dumbfounded.

Tang Yan read these words carefully, and suddenly said "Huh", but found a strange place, the last point of the word "heart" was a little dented, deeply dented.

She rolled her eyes, reacted almost immediately, reached out and picked up the jade slip on her waist and compared, sure enough, the size was just right, and she couldn't help cheering.

Xu Chen said behind his back: "What's wrong?"

Tang Yan turned back to him and smiled, "It's saved!"

Xu Chen was taken aback, and immediately came to his senses, and said happily: "Really?"

Tang Yan inserted the jade slip, saw that there was no response, and tried to turn left and right, after a while, suddenly the "click" sound sounded in the stone cave, the stone wall shook, Tang Yan was shocked, and hurriedly retreated with the golden bell, only to hear the sound of "boom", the originally smooth stone wall actually collapsed a layer down, revealing a layer inside, and the text was also engraved on it like the Heavenly Book of the Demon Domain in the inner room.

Xu Chen was happy at first, but then he looked around the stone wall, but his face gradually became ugly, it seems that this mechanism is just for the immortals to cover up the words on the stone wall, and there is no way out, this time he is extremely frustrated.

Tang Yan was staring at the words on the stone wall, the things left by the immortals were so tightly hidden, they must not be ordinary things. After a long time, the expression on her face was cloudy, but her sigh was particularly serious, and she said in a low voice: "It turns out that this is the peerless mantra. ”

At a glance, he knew that this was a vicious spell in the evil way, but seeing Tang Yan's expression, he was mostly happy, and couldn't help but snort and said, "Is there any way out here?"

Tang Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "No." ”

Xu Chen said lightly: "Then what's the use of you learning?"

Tang Yan was silent, and said after a while: "You don't know the origin of this Hades curse, this spell has been handed down from ancient times in our Demon Sect, but legend has it that no one has ever wanted to use it?"

When Xu Chen heard this, he became curious and said, "What?"

Tang Yan sighed and said, "This spell legend was comprehended by a wise female ancestor from the "Demon Domain Heavenly Book", but it can only be cultivated by women, I heard that this is a woman's essence and blood, turned into a powerful spell, and the power is overwhelming......"

Before she finished speaking, Xu Chen had already interrupted her, with contempt in his eyes, and said, "Sour rot." ”

Tang Yan's face changed, but then he was stunned again, and said in a low voice: "You are right, even if you are like an immortal, he is an old man, isn't it useless in the end." ”

Xu Chen ignored her.

The two of them spent a few more days here, and Xu Chen went to see the "Demon Heavenly Book" in his spare time, but Tang Yan was often stunned by the words on the stone wall that she called "Hades Mantra".

In the first volume of the "Demon Domain Heavenly Book", there is actually no actual cultivation method, and the whole text is difficult and profound, which can be regarded as a general outline. But Xu Chen has learned the true methods of Buddha and Taoism, and he can still understand this text, but he can only understand it. I always seem to understand the ancient anecdotes mentioned in the "Demon Heavenly Book".

Although he knew that there was little hope of survival, there was always some temptation in his heart, Xu Chen quickly tried to cultivate in the direction stated in the "Demon Heavenly Book", but it was not easy to use these two true methods at the same time, and in a moment he was already surging with qi and blood, so he had to stop suddenly. For several days, there was no progress at all.

But then came the bigger problem that faced the two of them - there was no food.

Cultivators, although they can go to the sky and enter the sea, but after all, they are also ** mortals, and the legendary predecessors who are advanced in Taoism practice the art of opening the valley, do not drink or eat, but no one has ever seen it. Since entering this cave, Xu Chen's dry food has been lost, although fortunately there is still water to drink in this cave, but the dry food is only brought by Tang Yan alone, where is there enough to eat? Even if the two of them saved again and again, they quickly ran out.

I don't know how long I stayed in the cave, but I was afraid that it would only take two days, so Xu Chen and Tang Yan looked at the empty food bag in a daze.

"Alas!" Tang Yan sat on the platform, next to the pile of dry bones, but there was no discomfort at all, it seems that the woman of the Demon Sect is really not the same as ordinary people. But now, she has a sad face.

Xu Chen's condition improved quickly, the fever had almost subsided, and except for the fact that his body was still a little weak, there was nothing else serious. At this time, he heard Tang Yan sigh and turned his head to look at the woman of the Demon Sect.

What caught his eyes was that the woman in the water green dress was sitting on the edge of the platform, with a pair of feet in the air, swaying for a while, and even the jade slip around her waist "jingled", if it weren't for this environment and knowing her identity, Xu Chen would almost think that this was still an innocent and immaculate girl.

It's just that looking like this, Tang Yan is much haggard than when they first met. Her daughter's house still goes to the small water curtain every day to wash and comb, so she still looks beautiful and doesn't feel dirty, but these days, she has obviously lost weight. Thinking of this, Xu Chen's heart moved, since he was a child, he had heard that everyone in the Demon Sect was selfish and hateful. But now in this cave Jedi, why would this Demon Sect woman give half of the only food to herself?

Xu Chen was thinking in his heart, but he didn't notice that Tang Yan looked over, and when he saw that Xu Chen didn't know when he began to look at him blankly, his face suddenly turned red, and he said angrily: "What are you looking at?"

Xu Chen was startled, quickly turned his head, and said, "No, nothing." ”

Tang Yan was behind him, but he didn't scold him as loudly as he imagined, for a long time, but instead a sigh came, and said: "We are trapped in this cave and die, we are not far from death, and you don't have to be so restrained." ”

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, slowly turned around, and looked at Tang Yan, only to see that there was a faint helpless smile on her somewhat thin but still beautiful face, and she couldn't help but burst out: "Actually, when I was seriously ill, you didn't have to give me most of the dry food, so you could live a few more days, maybe you would ......."

"Maybe what?" Tang Yan suddenly interrupted him.

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Maybe you may be saved." ”

Tang Yan shook her head slightly, with a little smile on her face, and said: "I don't want to die, but I don't want to wait slowly in the silence of this cave, facing a skeleton and another corpse that is gradually decomposing, in that case, before anyone comes to save me, I am afraid that I will go crazy first." ”

Xu Chen couldn't help but shudder when he heard what she described, this is indeed not a human life.

Tang Yan glanced at him and said lightly, "What, are you scared too?"

Xu Chen immediately straightened his back and said loudly: "How can there be!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Tang Yan's mouth, and there was gradually a hint of tenderness in his eyes when he looked at him, and he said softly: "You promise me one thing, okay?"

Xu Chen frowned and said, "What?"

Tang Yan smiled faintly and said, "We have eaten all the dry food now, and there is nothing to eat except some water, I am afraid that we will starve to death in less than seven days." ”

Xu Chen was silent.

Tang Yan's face was calm, but what she said next made Xu Chen feel like a ghost and shocked: "In a few days, if you see that I can't do it, kill me first." ”

Xu Chen opened his mouth wide, pointing at her and was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect that Tang Yan still said unbelievable and earth-shattering words with a calm face: "After I die, my body is still there, if you are bent on survival, you will eat my flesh, and you will probably be able to live for a longer time." ”

Xu Chen almost fell to the ground.

After a long time, he recovered from this huge shock, and immediately said to himself in his heart: "The people in this Demon Sect are really demons, and they can even do such things!"
