Chapter 12: The Mysterious Cave
Lin Xingyu watched the two disappear into the forest, and after observing it again and again, he dared to take a big gulp of fresh air, and a feeling of dizziness came from his brain.
What does it mean for Wu Yixiu to compare that one before leaving?
Running together?
A quarter of an hour?
Come back in a moment?
I'm going to have to hide everything anyway.
He broke many branches in all directions, built a small barrier in front of the dirt slope, and hid himself, poking a small hole in the middle, and looking around with both eyes through the small hole. I was so nervous just now, I didn't feel sleepy, so I hid here and waited in peace.
A quarter of an hour had passed, and the forest had returned to its normal state, and the sound of insects was resounding.
An hour passed, Lin Xingyu's energy was exhausted, and his upper and lower eyelids fought.
Two hours passed, and Lin Xingyu fell asleep in the barrier.
I don't know how long it took, I was tapped on the shoulder, sat up, raised my fist nervously, and saw that it was Wu Yixiu, and relaxed.
Wu Yixiu's face was as white as paper at the moment, his hair was a little scattered, and there was a trace of undried blood at the corner of his mouth, but everything else looked normal, and he didn't speak, pulling him up and limping towards the depths of the forest.
The sky was slightly bright. I don't know what method Wu Yixiu used to get rid of the old man in plain clothes, although he hasn't caught up until now, Lin Xingyu still feels uneasy in his heart.
This kind of uneasiness has nothing to do with the old man in plain clothes, but the fog in the forest, straightening his arms, his palms are almost invisible, and there is a faint whistling sound all around, I don't know if it is the sound of the wind or what, the moist water vapor in his breath infiltrates his lungs, and he feels extremely uncomfortable.
The two of them twisted and turned, going around and around, even Wu Yixiu lost his sense of direction, couldn't distinguish things, and completely let Lin Xingyu help him walk around, and never heard the sound of birds and insects, as if this forest was isolated from the world.
In order to alleviate the uneasiness in his heart, Lin Xingyu found some topics to chat with Wu Yixiu.
"Who's that guy chasing us?"
"Chen Tiancheng, Chen Junxiong's father, cough cough cough. Wu Yixiu coughed up another mouthful of blood.
"Then what realm are you?"
"Barely in the little grandmaster"
"You said it earlier, you said it earlier, I already said that I had already apprenticed, I couldn't ask for it, why bother to kidnap me and make me so embarrassed. ”
"If I had known you were so unproductive, I wouldn't have said it earlier, ahem. ”
"Phew!"
The two talked in a whisper and walked slowly, there were no beast attacks along the way, and they didn't know where Chen Tiancheng went, and their tense hearts relaxed a lot.
Walking and walking, Lin Xingyu stepped on the air, fell to the ground, and collapsed some weeds, and suddenly, there was a feeling of dampness and heat from the palm of the hand holding the ground, and when he looked sideways, it was actually a cave that was hiding from the shadows, and the surrounding weeds were overgrown, completely blocking the entrance.
Lin Xingyu picked up the weeds with both hands, and yelled twice at the cave, there were no beasts, and there was no response, so he happily helped Wu Yixiu to walk in, the weeds slowly closed, returned to their original state, and no trace was seen anymore.
The two walked a few meters into the cave, found that there was no abnormality, sat down against the wall of the cave, completely relaxed, one old and one young, and fell asleep.
When Lin Xingyu woke up, his whole body was filled with an indescribable sense of comfort, as if he hadn't slept so soundly for many years. Looking up, Wu Yixiu was still asleep, and he was so seriously injured that it was rare to survive until now.
Lin Xingyu didn't bother Wu Yixiu, put the package next to Wu Yixiu, and quietly walked to the depths of the cave, wanting to see what was inside, the Xuan Qi in the body slowly flowed along the meridians, his eyes had adapted to the darkness, everything around him could be seen vaguely, the four walls of the cave were clean and smooth, as if someone lived here and cleaned it regularly.
About 100 meters ahead, the air began to become unusually dry and muggy, and the four walls of the cave became narrower and narrower, which aroused Lin Xingyu's great curiosity at this time, stabilized his mind, and continued to explore deeply, the cave was very long, and he didn't know how far the end was.
Another 100 meters, on the wall on the right side are engraved some exercises mantra [sit with your eyes closed, hold and meditate on God, follow the qi thirty-six, and hold the Kunlun ......... with both hands].
On the wall on the left side are depicted a series of sword-dancing villains, and as Lin Xingyu moves forward, the villain's movements seem to dance a set of swordsmanship.
Lin Xingyu felt that it was very magical, and then walked back, and the villain's swordsmanship played a set in reverse, with an awkward feeling, he walked back and forth several times, without figuring out the way out, and continued to walk deeper after memorizing the exercise mantra and swordsmanship.
After another 300 meters, the cave space was even more cramped, and it was no longer possible to stand upright, so I had to bow my waist.
The feeling of heat in the air became more and more intense, and a wave of heat came to his face, and his face could not see the problem, but he knew that he was sweating like rain all over his body, and how many times his clothes and pants were soaked, but as long as the hot wind blew twice, his clothes would inevitably be dried, and only the feeling of stagnation when his skin touched reminded him at all times.
After a while, Lin Xingyu's lips were chapped, his eyes were dry, and his mouth and tongue could no longer secrete saliva to moisten his throat.
I don't know how far there is to reach the end, and I don't know what vision lies ahead, in such a state, Lin Xingyu can hold on for another moment or three is the limit, if he continues to go deeper, he must leave enough time to return according to his physical strength.
After walking for so long, I don't know if Wu Yixiu woke up or not, and when he saw that he was not by his side, he would think that he had run away.
If you go a few hundred meters further, you will have to turn back if you don't reach the end.
"Smack!" An already broken skull was flattened by Lin Xingyu's foot, brittle like a dry branch, and two hollow eyes were looking at him. Lin Xingyu stretched out his hands and bowed quite tabooly, and stepped over cautiously.
With the skull as the dividing line, the burning sensation inside gradually weakened until it disappeared, and when he looked up, he could vaguely see the end of the cave, and the little light flickered and dimmed, Lin Xingyu was a little excited in his heart, and it was finally coming to an end.
At this time, the soil in the cave has turned into yellow-brown gravel, and when you step on it, it is soft and soft, and there is no discomfort.
After a few steps, the clothes on his body were like long-weathered parchment, cracked and broken piece by piece, fell to the ground, and turned into dust. Lin Xingyu was shocked, and hurriedly used the Xuan Qi to protect his body, if there was no Xuan Qi kept running, the breaking speed of the clothes slowed down a lot.
There were only 100 meters left at the end, and the soil gradually became dark and abnormal, and there was a sense of flow in a trance, I don't know if it was an illusion or if it was really flowing.
Lin Xingyu stretched out his right foot and touched the ground lightly with his toes, everything was as usual, the shoes were not corroded and damaged, and the ground was even harder.
"Bang".
Thousands of catties of force adsorption, Lin Xingyu fell to the ground on all fours, luck resisted, slowly stood up, and looked at the faint light at the end, but it was only a few tens of meters, and now it would be useless to retreat.
Lin Xingyu gritted his teeth, took a step with all his strength, and took a step, and the Xuan Qi in his body was rapidly drained. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked solemnly ahead: "There are still more than forty meters on the black ground, and then there is a stone step, which is more than enough to walk back and forth with my current Xuan Qi." ’
One step later, the adsorption power increased a little, which was not obvious, and Lin Xingyu didn't care.
One more step, one more addition, another step, another step, and more.
In just twenty-seven meters, a full hour and a half of walking, Lin Xingyu was under thousands of catties of adsorption force at the moment, like a duck in the water, sweating all over his body kept dripping to the ground, his breathing sound was like pulling a dilapidated bellows, there was not much Xuan Qi left in his body, and his physical strength was about to be exhausted.
No, I can't go back now, I have to change the plan, first fill up the Xuan Qi in the dantian, and then go, anyway, I am not in a hurry.
Sitting on the ground, condensing the Xuan Qi, the slightest Xuan Qi enters the body from the Baihui acupoints on the top of the head, and merges with the Xuan Qi in the meridians, circulates around the body, and gathers in the dantian.
In the next second, Lin Xingyu looked like he was about to cry, he didn't dare to move, the original speed of condensation was far from the speed of consumption, in order to resist the power of adsorption, a part of the Xuan Qi to protect the body, the Xuan Qi in the dantian was getting less and less, and in the current situation, when the Xuan Qi was exhausted, it would definitely be shattered.
"Help, old fellow? Are you awake? Can you hear me?"
"Old fellow, your precious apprentice is going to die!"
"You're going to have no successor!"
"Help"
"Help"
"Save"
"Save"
From shouting at the beginning, he was full of anger, and transitioned to only daring to shout one or two words, he could save a little bit of Xuan Qi, and he could save a little bit of physical strength, maybe Wu Yixiu would rush in to save him in the next second.
Lin Xingyu stared at the silent darkness in the direction of the exit, hoping that the familiar footsteps sounded, if Wu Yixiu rushed in now, he would definitely kowtow immediately, and he would never mess with his nickname in the future, if Wu Yixiu rushed in now, let alone poison, he could recognize his godfather.
If Wu Yixiu rushes in now, forget it, it's useless to rush in now.
Lin Xingyu fell to the ground, the last trace of Xuan Qi in his body was emptied, the Xuan Qi of the body was dissipated, and the force of a thousand catties tore his body downward, he felt that the blood began to flow out of the pores, the skin opened and the flesh opened, the bones were deformed, the hands and feet were stiff, the internal organs were squeezed and breathless, the whole person could not move for half a minute, and his mouth could no longer be opened.
It's over, and it's just dead. ’
'Father, children are not filial. ’
'Xinghe, Xinglan, take care of yourself and do your filial piety on my behalf. ’
At the moment when Lin Xingyu's consciousness was about to fall into chaos, he suddenly felt that there was still a trace of mysterious qi in the dantian, which was very subtle, too little, too little.
Even so, Lin Xingyu involuntarily guided this trace of Xuan Qi to run along the meridians, even if he was given a chance to shout 'It hurts too much' to vent.
The subtle Xuan Qi flowed to the meridians like a silkworm peeling silkworm, and it was endless, until it spread throughout the entire meridians, and the pressure around the body suddenly decreased.
"Poof" The blood in my heart spurted out.
This trace of Xuanqi, starting from the dantian, circulates the meridians and returns to the dantian, without increasing or decreasing, no more, no less.
Lin Xingyu sat up strongly, feeling the strange aura in the meridians.
