Chapter 61: Lucky
Under the cliff sinkhole, on the shore of the clear and secluded pool.
Shen Shi stared at Zhong Qingzhu, who was still standing in the water, and looked at it several times from top to bottom, and said, "Aren't you really able to swim in the water before?"
Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and asked rhetorically, "Then can I think I can swim like this, Stone?"
Shen Shi was dazed, and after thinking about it, he was not sure, and said: "It's probably okay, I look at the starfish swimming in the water when she looks similar to you just now, but of course she is more skilled than her." ”
Zhong Qingzhu had a hint of joy on his face, and said with a smile: "Really, then this swimming is quite simple." ”
Shen Shi rolled his eyes and said in his heart, who are you trying to hit in the face......
Zhong Qingzhu fluttered in the waterhole for a while, and Shen Shi stood on the shore to remind her to be careful from time to time, but gradually she also saw that Zhong Qingzhu seemed to really have an inexplicable talent in this, but after listening to word of mouth, plus trying a few times, it seemed that she had really learned. This makes it really embarrassing for someone who has the guidance of a famous teacher and has studied diligently and diligently for a long time and still has no hope of success.
Looking at Zhong Qingzhu, who was becoming more and more comfortable in the pool, Shen Shi had a little doubt about his talent for the first time, and at the same time, he really realized that there were indeed appalling geniuses in this world.
Zhong Qingzhu seemed to be quickly familiar with the water, even if she was still injured in her left hand at the moment, but when she walked into the swimming water, she had already shown a little advance and retreat, and after a while, she suddenly turned her head and shouted to Shen Shi who was standing on the shore:
"Stone, you wait for me, I'll try to dive down and see if there is a way out?"
"Huh?" Shen Shi was taken aback, but before he could be born, Zhong Qingzhu took a deep breath and dived into the water, and his figure disappeared after a while.
Shen Shi was a little worried in his heart, frowned and looked at the secluded pool that was gradually calming down, and said, "What's the hurry, do you want to run before you learn to walk......!"
His voice suddenly lowered, and he pouted: Well, she seems to have learned to "walk".
Cultivation is only a short time, and the physical body is almost the same as that of mortals, holding his breath and diving into the water, Zhong Qingzhu did not support it for long before he surfaced, beckoning to Shen Shi from afar, looking at his expression is nothing special.
Shen Shi was a little worried, and waved his hand: "Why don't you come up and rest first?"
Zhong Qingzhu gently wiped his face in his hand and said, "The water is not in a hurry, it's nothing, I'll come up after a look." With that, he turned around and took a deep breath and dived.
This time the time to dive into the water was slightly longer than the previous one, and while Shen Shi waited, his eyes also fell on the water, and he was thinking about whether he should try to go down and flutter twice, maybe he would also learn to swim at once......
After hesitating, time passed unconsciously, but Zhong Qingzhu never came up, Shen Shi gradually became a little worried, and couldn't help but take two steps towards the water's edge, looking down at the water surface a little nervously, thinking that something should happen?
Fortunately, at this time, only to hear the sound of "bang", the water rippled, Zhong Qingzhu broke out of the water like a small fish, but this time she did not continue to stay in the water, but used her hands and feet at the same time and swam towards the shore.
Shen Shi looked at her with a tired look on his face, hurriedly took a few steps forward, stepped into the water, caught her when she came over, helped Zhong Qingzhu to the shore, and walked back to the place where there was no rain in the cave and sat down, the two of them were relieved.
Zhong Qingzhu exhaled and said, "I went there to see ......" Looking up and seeing Shen Shi's somewhat hopeful eyes, Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, seemed to hesitate, and said in a low voice: "There is no way out." ”
Shen Shi didn't look jubilant when he saw her coming up before, and guessed in his heart that this was probably the result, and then he heard her say it in person, although he was a little disappointed, he was also expected, sighed, and didn't speak.
Zhong Qingzhu glanced at him and said, "However, I found this underwater." ”
Shen Shi raised his eyes and saw Zhong Qingzhu stretching out his hand, spreading out his palm, and in the white palm, there were two crystal clear beautiful stones at this moment.
Shen Shi's eyes lit up, he stood up suddenly, and said, "Spirit Crystal!"
※※※
Crystal clear and radiant, even in this somewhat gloomy cave, there is a faint light, these two crystal stones lying quietly in the palm of Zhong Qingzhu's hand are the indispensable spiritual crystals of cultivators.
Zhong Qingzhu also had a happy look on his face, but his expression seemed much calmer than Shen Shi's, and he smiled: "Yes, I didn't see a way out of the outside world after I went underwater, but I happened to see two spirit crystals in the next corner of the water, so I took them back." ”
"Good luck. Shen Shi picked up a spirit crystal from her hand and sighed.
Jinhong Mountain is the first immortal mountain in the south of Hongmeng, and the spiritual veins in the depths of its mountain range are even more famous for their dragon veins, which are huge and long, and are rich in spiritual crystals, and only such a huge spiritual vein can support such a huge cultivation force of Lingxiao Sect, so any slightly larger cultivation gate valve in the world, where the mountain gate is located, must almost have a large or small spiritual vein, which is the fundamental foundation of the sect.
The spiritual vein of Jinhong Mountain is hidden deep in the immortal mountain, and it is naturally closely guarded by the Lingxiao Sect, but this spiritual vein is really amazingly large, spanning the sea of immortal mountains, in addition to the main vein in the depths of Jinhong Mountain, the branch veins of the remaining veins also spread in the depths of the earth, and the islands and oceans around the Jinhong Immortal Mountain will be affected by this spiritual vein.
Although the spiritual vein branches are at the end of the place, the spiritual power of heaven and earth is already weak, and it is impossible to be as rich in spiritual crystals as the main vein every day, but over time, a small amount of spiritual crystals will occasionally condense and scatter outside.
It's just that the Ling Xiao Sect has been established in Jinhong Mountain for tens of thousands of years, and there are few human races in the sea, and most of the islands around it, large and small, have been set foot by, so now there is basically no such thing as a good thing that you can pick up spirit crystals by walking casually on the roadside. As for the scene in front of him, it must be under this cliff and secluded pool, inaccessible, and affected by the end of a certain spiritual vein, a little spirit crystal has condensed over time, but it is really an unexpected joy.
Zhong Qingzhu also looked happy, and said, "With these two spirit crystals, one of us each, we can hold out for at least twenty days." ”
Shen Shi nodded, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, is there anything under the water?"
Zhong Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Shen Shi, shook his head, and said, "I haven't seen any other spirit crystals, so I'll find these two, or if no one comes to save us later, I'll go down and look for them?"
Shen Shi nodded, a little disappointed in his heart, but then he was still happy, looking at the spirit crystal in his hand and showing a little smile, after all, this is the real life-saving baby, what is there to complain about if you can find this thing in this desperate situation?
Zhong Qingzhu looked at him with a smile on the side, his lips squirmed slightly, he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said with a smile: "Otherwise, let's hurry up and cultivate, I hope that in the past twenty days, all the senior brothers and sisters in the door can find us." ”
Shen Shi nodded, subconsciously raised his head and forgot to glance at the narrow sky on the cliff outside the cave, the wind and rain were still there, but the wind was blocked by the cliff, but the rain was still not small, falling from the sky, and the whole world was still gray.
※※※
The cave began to quiet down at some point, Shen Shi took the spirit crystal in his hand, only to feel a warm and slightly cool breath coming from the palm of his hand, raised his eyes, and now Zhong Qingzhu was sitting on the other side of the cave, with his back against the stone wall, sitting cross-legged with his feet crossed, his eyes closed and his face was dark, and it seemed that he was cultivating, absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth from the spirit crystal.
He retracted his gaze and fell back on the spirit crystal in his hand, thinking to himself that he could only use one spirit crystal for ten days, but now it seems that he has to save on it, or just practice once a day.
Thinking of this, he also calmed down, closed his eyes, immersed his mind in the palm of his soul crystal, and began to perceive the faint wisp of heaven and earth spiritual power.
The process of cultivation was the same as before, calm and stable, he smoothly sensed the spiritual power in the spirit crystal, and then attracted the spirit into the body, slowly running along the qi veins around the body for a week, when this trace of spiritual power stabilized in the body, he only felt a little drowsy, that is the inevitable mental exhaustion after cultivation.
Shen Shi slowly opened his eyes, and now Zhong Qingzhu was still cultivating with her eyes closed, it seemed that she had been cultivating for a longer time than herself, and she didn't know if she was perceiving spiritual power or attracting spiritual power into her body or other cultivation joints, she was slower than herself.
Sitting in place and hesitating for a moment, Shen Shi still closed his eyes again, the spell of the Pure Heart Mantra slowly flowed in his heart, and a cool and gentle breath began to slowly wander in his body, and with these already familiar feelings to him, the trace of spiritual power that had just been inhaled in his body was also like being stimulated by some nameless force, and suddenly woke up again, and began to swim slowly again.
Passing through his chest and abdomen, swimming through the Heavenly Sudden Hundred Meetings, and finally silently stopping at the heart of Shen Shi's eyebrows, where some weak spiritual power had already gathered here, it was the result of Shen Shi's cultivation of the Pure Heart Mantra a few days ago. Now he cultivates twice a day, during which he uses the Pure Heart Mantra to restore the spirit once, and the spiritual power obtained from the second cultivation is no different from ordinary people, all of them are scattered in the qi veins around the body at random, and they are almost imperceptible on weekdays, and only in the future when they cultivate to break through to the Ning Yuan Realm and open up the Qi Sea Jade Mansion, the spiritual power of the whole body can return to the sea and converge to the Jade Mansion Dantian.
In addition to these spiritual powers that are no different from ordinary people, there is another part of spiritual power in Shen Shi's body, that is, because after cultivating the Pure Heart Mantra, strangely gathered at the center of his eyebrows, unlike those ordinary spiritual powers scattered around his body, the spiritual power at the center of his eyebrows seems to be gathered in one place, and after each cultivation, the spiritual power naturally gathers and fuses together, although Shen Shi's cultivation time is still short, and the spiritual power at the center of his eyebrows is still extremely weak, but in the feeling, it is already thicker than those scattered spiritual powers.
And today's trace of spiritual power, after reaching Shen Shimei's heart, did not show any signs of struggle, and it was very obediently fused with the spiritual power that was originally here, and it felt as if this spiritual power was a little thicker and condensed a little bit.
Chapter 62: Salvation
After the initial escape, and the difficult trek in the dark cave, the hopeful struggle to get out of the cave and reappear in the Jedi, the joy and sorrow of the xù churning, but the following days, it seems to be a lot calmer.
Because Zhong Qingzhu was lucky to find two spirit crystals under the water, Shen Shi and her two were able to survive in this sinkhole Jedi, although there was still no hope of salvation at present, but they finally got rid of the threat of death temporarily.
In the days that followed, the two of them often looked at the sky, hoping to see the magical figure of the senior brother and sister in the door descending from the sky, but I don't know if it was because this cliff sinkhole was too secret or inconspicuous, and the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect who were searching for it in the outside world never appeared in this place, so after five days, even the storm in the sea had receded, and the sky was blue and clear again, but there was actually a figure on the cliff that there was no sign of flying through the sky.
Shen Shi's heart was full of hope from the beginning, and gradually became a little anxious, you must know that they only have two spirit crystals in their hands, and under the sharing of the two of them, they can only support each for twenty days at most, and if no one comes to rescue them in the future, I am afraid that the two of them will really die here.
So at dusk on the fifth day, Shen Shi discussed with Zhong Qingzhu: "Qingzhu, I don't think it's going to be difficult for someone to come over again, why don't we try to walk back from under the cave, maybe we can go out?"
Zhong Qingzhutong's cultivation in the past few days has attracted the spirit into the body, and the spiritual power has a miraculous effect, and the injuries on his hands have improved a lot, and they are no longer so painful, but they still can't be moved lightly. After hearing Shen Shi's words, she hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be thinking about it, and after a while, she raised her head and said, "I think if we wait here for a few more days, the cave below is pitch black, we don't know what is strange, we always feel very dangerous." ”
Shen Shi nodded slowly, what Zhong Qingzhu said did make sense, it seems that he is still not as careful as her as a man, since the spirit crystal is in hand, there is indeed no need to be so urgent, so he agreed immediately.
Zhong Qingzhu saw that he didn't insist, her face was much more relaxed, and after a few words of casual chat, her gaze inadvertently swept over the secluded pool outside the cave, her gaze was slightly frozen for a moment, but then she turned away expressionlessly.
※※※
So three more days passed, every day began in a peace and expectation, every dusk and evening ended in disappointment, the rescuer never appeared, Shen Shi thought about the days in his heart, and felt that for such a long time, I was afraid that those senior brothers on Qingyu Island might have thought that these two people were swept away by the huge waves, so they gave up the rescue.
His mood gradually began to be a little impatient again, although his temperament is actually a calm and cautious personality on weekdays, but in a desperate situation, seeing that the hope of rescue is getting smaller and smaller, how can he not be anxious, in contrast, Zhong Qingzhu has been calm as before, and he does not show much anxiety on weekdays, which makes Shen Shi a little surprised.
It's just that the days of waiting are really difficult, and if you really can't go back to the cave, of course, the more times the spirit crystal is used, the better, so on the ninth day, Shen Shi finally couldn't bear it, and once again proposed to Zhong Qingzhu to try to go out to the bottom of the cave.
Zhong Qingzhu hesitated and thought for a long time this time, but finally begged Shen Shi to wait for a few more days in a soft voice, Shen Shi was puzzled and asked her why she didn't want to go back, Zhong Qingzhu hesitated again and again before Ai Ai said that she was afraid of the dark, if it wasn't a last resort, she really didn't want to go back to the bottom of the dark and terrifying cave.
Shen Shi was dazed and speechless, but it was impossible for him to leave Zhong Qingzhu alone like this, so he stayed after all, and made an appointment with Zhong Qingzhu to wait a few more days.
But perhaps it was the patient waiting that finally moved the heavens, in this painful waiting torment, on the tenth day, this almost hopeless day, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu first saw several strange rays of light suddenly passing in the originally blue sky in the morning, crisscrossing and crisscrossing for a long time, like a sky net;
When this light mask is completely formed, there are dozens of gentle white lights falling from the sky, the white light is like a mountain like a mountain, the weather is thousands, it is daunting, slowly moving from the edge of Qingyu Island to the island, looking at the huge brilliance of the movement traces, but not even the slightest place on the island has been missed, and all of them have been swept over.
In the afternoon, a white light swept over a stone wall in a certain mountain and shone into the cliff sinkhole.
After the calm white light swept over Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu's surprised faces and bodies, they suddenly paused and stopped, and at this time, the strange and magnificent light shield in the sky also suddenly burst out with a deep sharp sound.
As if they had awakened in their hearts, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu glanced at each other, and they both saw the irrepressible excitement and eagerness in each other's eyes, and the two ran to the middle of the bottom of the sinkhole together, looking up at the huge light curtain of the sky like a miracle, and shouted loudly.
Half an hour later, several sword rays broke through the air, circled above the cliff with great speed, and then rushed down, and it was none other than Wang Gan. Behind him, Zheng Zhe and several other disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect also followed, with a bit of unbelievable surprise on their faces, as if they didn't expect Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu to still live tenaciously under this cliff.
saved......
At that moment, when Wang Gan's resolute face appeared in front of them and led everyone to fall under the deep valley of the cliff, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu finally determined that they had really escaped, and this time the catastrophe was finally overcome.
Zhong Qingzhu's eyes were red, as if he wanted to cry again, Shen Shi also clenched his teeth, and watched the burly Wang Yan stride in front of him in a daze.
Although Wang Gan's expression did not have such a surprised look from Zheng Zhe and the others, he could still see that there was also a little excitement and excitement that rarely appeared on his face, looking at the two young men and women under the cliff, their clothes were tattered and their faces were tired, and the girl's left hand was still tied by a cloth belt at her side, looking like a wound from a broken arm. Not to mention how they escaped the ascension and struggled here, but how much suffering the two of them endured during this can be imagined.
Wang Yan took a deep breath, stood in front of the two of them, nodded lightly, showed a smile, and said, "Okay, let's go home." ”
"Hmm......" A low sob, thinking from the side, it was Zhong Qingzhu who finally couldn't hold back his excitement and choked up.
※※※
A boiling storm of the sea was lost, and at this time, it finally came to a complete end. Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu were rescued by Wang Gen and others back to the herring fish set, and they received treatment first, and the two were trapped in the deep valley of the cliff for more than ten days, and they were already physically and mentally exhausted, but because of the support of Lingjing, they were lucky enough not to leave any special injuries in the end.
Zhong Qingzhu's injuries were more serious, especially the fracture of his left arm and had been dragging on for so many days, and he had swam into the water a few times in the middle, although because of the spirit crystal cultivation to attract the spirit into the body, the body felt much better, but after Wang Yan and others checked, they told her that this was a sign that the treatment did not cure the root cause, and the broken bones of the arm had not been connected, and after so many days of delay, the broken bones inside had been displaced, and the injury was even more serious.
If it is the mortal world, I am afraid that this arm will be difficult to save, but what is the place of Ling Xiao Sect, there is naturally a magic pill, although these spiritual materials and Dao methods are valuable on weekdays, but at this moment, Wang Gan naturally used it unceremoniously on Zhong Qingzhu, and quickly saved her arm, just because it was delayed for too long, after all, there were still some small effects, and in the future, there would be a slight difference between the actions of her left hand and arm and ordinary people, but if she didn't look carefully, she couldn't see it, and at the same time, it didn't affect her future Dao cultivation, which was already a great luck in misfortune。
In contrast, Shen Shi was basically fine, some small injuries outside the skin, which had been healed in those ten days, but the saddest thing was that he had suffered in a desperate situation in those days, and after being saved this time, he was sent back to the cave mansion and rested for a day or two, and his whole person was almost recovered.
In the meantime, Wang Gen has visited him once, and several other new friends he knows on weekdays have also come over, He Xiaomei, Jiang Hongguang and even the starfish girl from Hongbang Village have all received the news and visited him in the cave. But of course, the most cordial person to him is Sun You, who has been running to his cave almost every day to talk to him in the past few days, and Shen Shi can't stand it a little bit.
It was only when Shen Shi asked him why, Sun You said that after the accident that day, he was also very worried about Shen Shi's safety, but when Shen Shi was rescued and Wang Yan and others also asked him and Zhong Qingzhu about the matter before and after the disappearance, Sun You knew that on the day of the storm, Shen Shi was looking for him and strayed into Caibei Beach, so he was in distress, and Sun You was a little unhappy in his heart, so he came over every day.
Of course, Shen Shi would not worry about Sun You because of this, and asked him not to say much with a smile, and Sun You also laughed it off, but during the two days of chatting, Shen Shi learned something from Sun You about what happened on Qingyu Island after his disappearance.
The storm in the sea hit, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu disappeared, no matter what went wrong in the middle, anyway, Senior Brother Wang Jian was a big thunderbolt in the Xuanri Hall that day, and he trained all the senior brothers, and then regardless of the storm still not stopped, there were people sent out to search for the whereabouts of the two.
It's just that no one would have thought that the two of them would be washed into the ground by huge waves, and they struggled to crawl to that secluded and unknown cliff valley, so even if Wang Gen and the others searched carefully and almost turned over the land on the island, they still didn't find them.
After a long time, everyone gradually despaired, mostly guessing that they were afraid that they were on the coast before the storm came, so they were swept away by the wind and waves, so they couldn't find anyone. It's just that among all the people, only Senior Brother Wang Gen insisted on it, even after so long, he still refused to give up the search and rescue.
In fact, when things came to this point, the Lingxiao Sect naturally got the news, although the disappearance of the newcomer disciple on Qingyu Island was not a monstrous wave in the sect, but how many undercurrents were behind it, and how many people were secretly waiting to see Wang Gan's ugliness, but they didn't know.
"But fortunately, thanks to Senior Brother Wang's persistence, I was able to save you from it. Sun You sighed, glanced at Shen Shi at the same time, and said with a smile, "By the way, I can save you this time, thanks to the light mask in the sky that day, do you know what it is?"
Shen Shi was stunned, a magical light curtain swept over the sky that day, all kinds of visions, and then Wang Gen and others went deep into the cliff to save people, obviously from beginning to end, the white strange light was the root of his salvation, hearing Sun You say this, he hurriedly asked:
"Ah, is that thing really weird, what is it?"
