113 Episodes of the road ring, explain to me the reason

Hearing this, I also worried about this kid, don't you really have any accidents, this is not an ordinary place, this is a chaotic white dragon locked under this hidden dragon abyss. I asked Qu Ling, "Why is this cave called Longquan Cave?" Is it a name given by the locals?"

Qu Ling shook his head: "You can see at a glance that there is a stone tablet at the entrance of the cave, and there is a stone tablet that falls there, I don't know what age, there are three words Longquan Cave on it." This cave may have existed in ancient times, and the mud and rocks washed down by the flash flood later covered the entrance of the cave, and the cave entrance was washed away by the flash flood last year. The situation inside is said to be complicated, bottomless, with roads crisscrossing and underground rivers. ”

"Isn't it dangerous for you to go in like this? "I heard that this is the case, and I am worried about Qu Ling again. If it's just an ordinary cave exploration, it's okay to say, and there are likely to be other dangerous spirits in this place, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for an ordinary person to detect and deal with. Although I didn't come here for this matter, since I met her, there is no reason not to help her.

Qu Ling: "I know I'm a little reckless in entering the cave like this, but I can't help it, Ding Ding is a little later, and if he is in the cave, the situation will be dangerous." Will you help me? I'm sorry to let you take the risk. ”

"Don't be embarrassed to be friends with me. And you also know my identity, I may be a member of the special operations group of the special department, specially trained. Why don't you wait for me outside the cave and I'll go in and take a look?" I mean to say that. I didn't plan to run into the cave and look around, but I was going to go into the cave and search to see if anyone was inside. Of course, this is inconvenient for Qu Ling, an ordinary person, to be around.

Qu Ling: "How embarrassed is my family's affairs, you take risks for me." I know you're special, but we're disciplined, and even if we see you in the future, the Einsatzgruppen, don't talk about the mission or your identity. Or you can go in with me, and the two of you can take care of each other. I know you've got what it takes. ”

One thing that suddenly came to my mind was my recent situation. My recent condition has not been very good, except for the Golden Dragon Lock, Jade Pillar Talisman Kung Fu, there is no problem, the Yuan Shen Yuan Qi has been very weak, and it is very difficult to cast some spells. In such a situation, it is very dangerous to travel to an unknown place rashly. I'd better accompany her into the cave for a walk, if I can't find the child, I'll find a way to go back, or ask another master to help. When I encountered this one, I put aside the matter of finding the white dragon for the time being. Let's accompany Qu Ling to find Ding Ding first. With mortals here, I can't call the white dragon.

The two of us entered Longquan Cave one after the other, and Qu Ling's preparation was quite sufficient, and he kept the rope around his waist and walked for a while. She gave me a metal triangle clasp. Meaning that I also buckled on the rope, I smiled and said I don't need to. I really don't need my talisman skills, I'm not afraid of ordinary injuries, and my yin eyes can see clearly in the dark.

What is the most important thing about cave exploration? The most important thing is that you can't get lost. The second is to always pay attention to the lighting situation. Although it is inconvenient for me to travel with the Yin God, the more ordinary the Divine Sense, the possibility of people getting lost in the cave is very small. I don't have to worry about the lighting situation, so I can rest assured that Qu Ling will go in. A few steps away from the entrance of the cave, I saw that the stone tablet was more than half a person high, lying on one side of the cave wall, and there were three inscriptions of Longquan Cave in seal script.

At first, the cave stretched like a road zigzag, and the ground beneath your feet was flat. Gradually, the scene changed. The walls of the cave around it began to become strangely shaped, with large and small pores, and all kinds of stalactites hung above them. In ancient times, it was supposed to be an underground river, but the course of the river changed with the movement of the mountains and became the karst cave it is today. After walking a distance of more than a few hundred meters, the rope was already nearing its end, and suddenly it dawned in front of us, and we actually walked into a hall in the belly of the mountain!

Who would have thought that there would be such a big hole in the mountain? It is at least a few tens of meters high and two basketball courts in a circle. The surrounding lava rocks are in a variety of forms, some look like silkworms spinning silk, some are like white dragons around the pillars, look into the distance, for the different tones of the rock formations, there is actually a shape like layers of terraces. The light of the flashlight in Qu Ling's hand is almost endless, and under the illumination of the light, all kinds of stalactites hang out colorful lights, which are the reflections of mica crystals contained in the rocks. It's a beautiful view, it's like a dream, and if we weren't looking for the missing child, we would definitely stop by and enjoy it.

"Qu Ling, you shine the light over there, it's the place you just illuminated, there are words on the cave wall!"

Not far from my eyes, I saw a relatively flat white patch on the wall of the cave, with a few regular rows of black dots on the surface. When I got closer, I saw that it was actually a poem written by someone with a brush. Probably due to the age and moisture fumigation, some of the handwriting has become blurry and illegible, but I can still see the final signature - Xu Xiake. (Xu Gongzi's note: This is not completely apocryphal, I did see the ink left by Xu Xiake in a cave, but unfortunately I can't make out the handwriting at that time.) )

Xu Xia's guest name is Hongzu Zizhen's number Xiake. The children of the family are studious and well-read, especially proficient in geographical charts, footprints, and have traveled all over half of China, leaving a huge work of 600,000 words "Xu Xiake's Travels", which is an outstanding traveler, geographer and writer in the Ming Dynasty of China. When I saw the inscription on the cave wall, I knew that there were people here six hundred years ago, and it was the famous Xu Xiake. Looking up again, there are traces of smoke on the stalactites nearby, and it seems that the ancients came to this move with pine torches. Qu Ling had words on the cave wall, and thought it was some clue, but as soon as I explained, she was a little disappointed. Now is not the time to be nostalgic, it is still important to find someone.

Now people travel in the caves, dangerous places have been paved, roads and bridges have been erected, and handrails have been erected, and there are lights all the way. But when he arrived at an unopened cave, he climbed up and down with his bare hands. It is a very dangerous thing, and it is absolutely impossible to get off the rope, otherwise if you are not careful, you will not know where to slip and worry about your life. We saw three forks in the hall, one parallel to the right. I don't know where it leads, and the sound of water can be faintly heard in front of me, and it is getting narrower and narrower diagonally downward. There is also a place hovering in the left rear direction, surrounded by stalagmites and stalactites, which is beautiful!

Where are we going?, Qu Ling and I glanced at each other, and we both walked up into the most beautiful hole. This is probably a mental judgment, and if a child walks in, it is most likely to climb into such a cave. I climbed up for a while, and then I walked into another hollow hall in the belly of the mountain. This hall is smaller than the previous one, but the space is the size of a building. When he walked here, Qu Ling's waist tightened, and the last rope came to an end! At this time, only the sound of "dang" was heard, like the morning bell in the temple, ringing in the belly of the mountain, echoing for a long time.

What's going on? My head hit the stone bell! right above this hall. A huge rock hangs down. This rock is different from ordinary stalactites, and the surface is smooth and symmetrical, like an upside-down hill. The lowest part of the rock was only one man above the ground, and my head was just right to touch me, and I hit it head-on, and there was a strange bell, and as soon as the bell rang, I felt the whole surface of the rock trembleβ€”such a large upside-down rocky mountain. It's a completely hollow natural stone clock!

How could a cultivator like me, who has a keen sense of consciousness and has a natural yin eye, hit the stone bell with his head? Because I was distracted, and when I walked here, I suddenly felt something nearby. Of course, this thing is not a stone or a cave, but a kind of divine consciousness fluctuation, I don't know what it is, in short, a living form is nearby. As soon as the stone bell rang, Qu Ling was also startled, and hurriedly asked, "Shi Ye." What's wrong with you?," I didn't answer her because I looked ahead and froze.

I saw the figure of a woman in white appear in the air in the cave in front of me, and she appeared at the same time as the bell rang. Her facial features are dignified and beautiful, like a fairy in a painting, her expression is respectful, and her eyes are full of sparkles. I didn't see it too clearly for a moment, I just felt that her skin was very white, but not the kind of miserable white that did not see the light of day, but close to the purity and softness of the white clouds. There was no wind around, but her clothes were windless in mid-air.

As soon as she appeared, she saw me in the air, motioning to me, and said, "Who rings the stone bell to call me?...... It turned out to be Shi Zhenren...... I've been waiting for you for a year, Childe?"

How could a woman in white appear? Listen to her tone and know me! She said that she had been waiting for me here for a year, could she be the white dragon? How could she become a woman? And the son she said in her mouth was definitely not me, and she was referring to the wind gentleman. I didn't know how to answer for a while, and Qu Ling pushed me next to me: "Shi Ye, what are you doing? ”

I came back to my senses and asked Qu Ling, "Did you see anything, did you hear anything?"

Qu Ling: "Don't scare me, how can there be anyone else in this black cave...... Did you hear the sound of Tintin?"

As soon as she spoke, I realized that the woman who appeared in front of me was not a human being, nor was it an ordinary form, and Qu Ling could neither see nor hear. I didn't want to talk to the air and scare her, so I just pointed at the woman, Qu Ling shook his head, meaning that there are ordinary people here, and it is best not to communicate in this way, so as not to shock the world!

The woman didn't understand what I meant, didn't see my gesture, her expression was puzzled, and then she waved her hand, only to hear Qu Ling exclaim. Qu Ling's right hand had been holding the lamp tightly, and his left hand was on the rope around his waist, when suddenly his hand shook, the lamp fell to the ground, and he didn't know where to roll. The surroundings suddenly darkened, and it seemed to her that it was pitch black, and she couldn't see her fingers.

"It's broken, it's over, I've been very careful, how did I lose the lamp, look for it, or we won't be able to get out! Ishino, I'm so stupid, I'm sorry. Qu Ling's voice was about to cry. It's no wonder that everyone knows what it means to lose the light in the depths of the cave, even if there is a rope to guide the way, but in this cave full of obstacles and traps, a single misstep can be injured or even killed, and it is difficult to walk back in the dark. This is not Qu Ling's fault, it is clearly deliberate by the woman in white just now.

"Why are you doing this, so bad. I said to the woman in white.

The woman replied in mid-air, "Sister Green Snow once told me that it is best not to use illusions to meet ordinary people after taking shape. ”

Qu Ling also replied on the side: "I didn't mean to, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to, what should we do?"

I said to the woman in white, "She can't see you, you don't have to. ”

Qu Ling: "Who can't see me? How can we get out when we can't see anything?" You follow me, we touch the rope and climb out little by little. ”

Oh my God, the more they talked, the more they screwed up, and they couldn't figure out who was talking to whom. It's better to persuade Qu Ling first, so I quickly grabbed one of her arms in the dark and persuaded: "Don't worry, you can't see it, I can see it." I'll send you out now, and I'll find a way to find that kid later. ...... I'll come again, let's go first. ”

This was said to Qu Ling, and it was also said to the woman in white. Qu Ling calmed down a lot when he heard this, and clung to me like a life-saving straw: "Can you see it? You can see it in the dark? This is so good, I almost thought I had burdened you." ”

I secretly said in my heart: It's not the first time that you have even affected me, but I don't blame you this time. I took her hand and walked backwards, walking in the dark, it was really inconvenient, and she just took two steps before she twisted her foot with a groan. Then I heard the woman in white say behind me, "Did you come in looking for a child? I know where he came with me." After saying that, he waved his hand and floated in the other direction.

Qu Ling couldn't hear her, just squatted on the ground and said, "I'm really useless, what should I do if I can't walk?"

What to do? It's a bit confusing. Qu Ling's eyes were pitch black, but I saw the woman in white, and she told me that she knew where a child was. And this woman in white seems to not know how to communicate with people, and after speaking, she will lead the way in front.

I have no way to tell Qu Ling what happened, and I can't talk to the woman in white in front of Qu Ling. In a hurry, I thought of the most simple way, that is, to take Qu Ling and follow the woman in white, anyway, Qu Ling couldn't see anything. "It's okay, I'll carry you on my back, so it's more convenient and careful...... Forget it, if you can't see me, be careful. Before Qu Ling could answer, I had already carried her on my back, followed the figure of the woman in white, and strode to the other side of the cave. This is not the way we came, but Qu Ling is not divided into east and west, north and south at this time, she is frightened, and she can only lie on my back honestly.

It is said that in the dark and mysterious cave, I saw such a woman in white who did not know the origin, and it was close to the existence of ghosts and gods, and under normal circumstances, a person would not follow her. But I still followed her, and I probably knew who she was, and she begged me. Second, as soon as I saw her, I could feel that she was not threatening me, her real body was locked under the Hidden Dragon Abyss, and now what appeared was just a phantom. Third, the purpose of my entry into the cave was to save people, and this woman knew where Tintin was.

This road is really not short, the caves are full of twists and turns, strange rocks are everywhere, some places are very open, you can almost run a car, and some places are very narrow, and you can only bend over to pass. I had to be careful not to touch Qu Ling on my back all the way. Qu Ling couldn't stop asking on my back: "Shi Ye, you are really amazing! In this way, you can actually see that you can be careful, this hole is not easy to walk, pay attention to your step." ...... Is this your special ability?...... What else are you capable of?...... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked that. ”

Women can't help but be wordy, and they can't always be gagged. I could hear that Qu Ling couldn't see anything, so I was very nervous, and I wanted to calm myself as much as possible by constantly talking, and I hummed without a word, and kept paying attention to the woman in white in front of me. Walking and walking, the terrain is now downward. In the far distance, the cave seemed to come to an end, and a wide fissure appeared, and in the center of the cavern there was a stone pillar that closed together, and from top to bottom, both ends of the mountain submerged into the mountain. When I got closer, I saw that there was a low cliff under my feet, and under the cliff was actually a slowly flowing underground river, and the stone pillars stood in the river, reminiscent of Sun Wukong's Dinghai Divine Needle.

The woman in white beckoned to me on the other side of the underground river, and looked closely, and there was a path to stay on the other side of the rock wall. It's about four or five meters away. As soon as I jumped over, Qu Ling hurriedly put it on my back and said, "Don't go so quickly, be careful about falling, how can I hear the sound of water?

"Come on, come on, you don't have to worry about me. I replied. While walking briskly along the path for a few steps, a hole appeared on the mountain wall, and a woman in white turned into the hole, and I followed. This Longquan Cave. It's really a hole in a hole, it's complicated. This section of the cave is very narrow at the beginning, and the more you go, the more spacious it becomes. Gradually, I walked into a large space and heard the sound of water again.

"There was a kid by the river. He fell from here and was injured. My real body was locked in the Hidden Dragon Abyss, and there was no way to save him, so I had to cast a spell as much as possible to keep him asleep and wait for someone to save him. If no one comes in a few days, the child will be in danger. The woman in white finally stopped and spoke.

Looking in the direction of her finger, there was a stream flowing in front of her. The underground river came and went without a trace, intermittently flowing through the cave. The water is not deep, only knee-deep, and you can see the pebbles at the bottom of the river. Due to the long-term current cutting the riverbank, the rocks on both sides of the river bank are very high, and more than one person is more than one person who walks here, and it is indeed easy to fall down if you are not careful.

On a large rock by the river lay a little boy about six or seven years old, with a flashlight falling in the water not far from him. This kid was naughty enough to hold a flashlight, and he could run so far empty-handed, and I don't know how he got here? It seems that he accidentally slipped and fell here, and the flashlight fell into the creek and was extinguished.

"Qu Ling, I'll let you down first, you just sit here, don't move. I saw a kid fainting over there, probably the Tintin you're looking for. Tell me if Tintin is wearing a vest with a rabbit on its chest?"

"Yes, yes, that's Tintin! How did you find Tintin? Did you go the wrong way? Save people first. ”

I ignored what Qu Ling said, put her down and walked to the stream. Tintin seemed to be unconscious, I tried his snort, fortunately, his breathing was stable, and there was no life-threatening situation for the time being. The child had obviously cried, and there were messy tear stains on his face, and I saw that one of his legs seemed to have been broken, and I reached out to check the broken calf.

I picked him up and returned to Qu Ling's side and said to Qu Ling: "Ding Ding, I found him, his life is not in danger, but his lower leg is broken and needs to be rushed to the hospital." ...... Just in my arms, you touched him, and now he is unconscious...... I'll hold him, you're still on my back, and we'll go back." Don't worry, I remember coming and going out soon. ”

I carried a big one on my back, hugged a small one, and was about to turn back and walk back and forth, but the woman in white stopped me: "Shi Zhenren doesn't have to turn back, there is a shortcut in front, you come with me." I saw her walk across the stream to the other side.

Walking forward, the cave gradually narrowed and turned into a winding road, this time walking less than 200 meters, suddenly cheerful in front of him, and actually returned to the place where he came - the hall with Xu Xiake's inscription. Looking back at the hole we came out of, it was the hole on the right side of the hall that we saw when we entered, and we turned around and came back to this place, so much closer. It seems that the boy did not run far in the hole, he entered the hall first, and entered the hole on the right side, and fell and injured himself. Qu Ling and I found the wrong way, but the caves in the mountains are connected to each other.

The woman in white sent me here, stopped in mid-air, and said, "Shi Zhenren, I can only send you here." There is no fork in the road ahead, you go out with two people. I'll be waiting for you here. I hope you will come back to me as soon as possible, and I will know that someone is looking for me, as long as I ring that stone bell. ”

I nodded at her in acknowledgement, turned around and walked out, and when I saw the light at the entrance of the cave in the distance, Qu Ling let out a cheer. Out of the hole. I felt that the sun outside was exceptionally bright. Qu Ling got down from my back and checked Ding Ding's condition, and when he saw that he was not in a worry, he still asked worriedly, "Why has he been unconscious?"

"It's okay, it's just that I've been in the cave for three days, and I've collapsed with fright, and I'll wake up tomorrow, I promise you. Let's go back to Qingquan Town. ”

Qu Ling wanted to go by herself, but she sprained one of her feet, and it was inconvenient in the mountains, so I still carried her on my back. took off his coat, wrapped the child's body, tied it to his chest, and carried a big girl like Qu Ling on his back. After passing through Baimang Mountain, at dusk, I saw Qingquan Town under the mountain from afar.

"Ishino, you're working too hard, so put me down. I'm so embarrassed to let my acquaintances see it!"

I don't need to say I'm embarrassed. I walked such a long way with a big girl on my back on a hot day, and although I didn't sweat much, she was sweating all over. I felt the heat on her body dripping with sweat. The two elastic soft flesh on my chest were still massaging my back. I can control myself and try not to think about it, but the sound of my current Qu Ling's breathing is already very messy, so it's better to put it down early. I put Qu Ling down. Holding the child in one hand and supporting her in the other, she did not go back to her sister's house and went directly to the town health center. When her sister and brother-in-law heard the news, they saw that the child was saved, and they thanked me very much. Qu Ling had to leave me at her sister's house to rest, and I reasoned that I wanted to leave immediately. Then I couldn't help it, so I came up with a killer trick – I told her I was on a mission. She didn't keep me.

......

When I went back to Longquan Cave, it was already that night. I tapped the stone bell with my hand. The figure of the woman in white appeared in front of me again.

"Now there are no outsiders, what do you have to say. ”

The woman in white: "Shi Zhenren should have guessed who I am." ”

"Yes, you are the white dragon I saw in Liqiao Wei last year. How did you come to be in the form of a woman?"

Woman in White: "Actually, we've met twice. Last year, Gongzi recited the Book of Heaven 'Transformation Chapter' in Zhaoting Mountain, and at that time, Shi Zhenren was guarding the door, and I had eavesdropped on it in the sky. Speaking of which, it's my fault first, and I hope Childe and Shi Zhenren can forgive. When I heard about the transformation chapter, I realized the way to change the form. After the dragon ascended to heaven, I turned into a human form, and I could have turned into a * human body, but unfortunately my real body was locked and there was no way to get out. ”

"Are you looking for me to ask the gentleman to let you go?"

The woman in white: "Who is the Wind Gentleman?"

"The one who locked you in the Hidden Dragon Abyss?"

The woman in white: "Isn't his place name called Gongzi?"

I laughed, and then I remembered that I wasn't talking to a real person, she was a white dragon, and even if she was incarnated as a woman, she would be a dragon girl. The dragon girl doesn't seem to know much about human affairs, she probably heard Lu Xue call Feng Junzi Gongzi, and thought that his surname was Gongzi. I smiled and said, "Feng Junzi is what you said about the son of the earth, do you want to beg him to let you go?" In fact, he asked me to come, and he asked me to ask you what you wanted, and if you can do it, I will meet you." ”

The woman in white: "I do have a request, I hope Shi Zhenren will tell it for me." ”

"If you say it, I'll tell you. ”

Woman in white: "I don't have a name, I want you to ask Gongzi to give me a name on my behalf." ”

"You mean to say -- let him name you, not let him let you go?"

The woman in white nodded: "Yes, that's what I requested." I hope that Shi Zhenren will be fulfilled!"

"Is that simple? I think it's okay, and I'll promise you for the Wind Gentleman now. How can you not have a name? Can you tell me where you came from?

The woman in white was overjoyed when she saw me agreeing so happily, and immediately stopped hiding anything from me and told me her story. She was originally a silver silk fish released by someone 800 years ago in the Hidden Dragon Abyss. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, Qianlong Yuan and Longquan Cave are all blessed places for cultivation, she is fortunate to feel the opportunity to practice as an aquarium body, you can understand her as a silver silk fish essence. As a human being, I am afraid that cultivation will eventually become an immortal and become a Buddha, right? Then, for the Scaly Armor Water Tribe, the realm of cultivation is to transform into a dragon and ascend to heaven. With her cultivation, she is still far from reaching this realm, at least it will be another two hundred years.

However, coincidentally, last year, she overheard the wind gentleman reciting the book of heaven "Transformation Chapter", and actually learned the way of change, which became the climate in advance, so there was the later Qingyi River flood. This flood was provoked by the wind gentleman himself, and the white dragon let him lock him back, which was really unpleasant for the first reason and consequences. Hearing this, I also vaguely felt that Feng Junzi was probably really sorry for her, and she asked me to ask Feng Junzi to agree to such a simple request, and there should be no problem with her.

......

"This little fish is quite shrewd, and he doesn't ask for anything else, just ask me for a name. The Wind Gentleman muttered thoughtfully to himself.

He heard that I went to Bai Mang Mountain to find Bailong, and the next day he took the initiative to find Lu Xue Mingjian to ask me about this matter, and I told him the process in detail, including Qu Ling's matter. After listening to this, the Wind Gentleman did not answer very simply, but pondered there.

"Isn't it just a name? It's a gesture for you, and you can give her a nice name...... Agreed. ”

The Wind Gentleman turned his head to stare at me: "Shi Ye, do you know the meaning of the name? I don't know if it? ”

"Parents name their children, owners name their pets, owners name their property, that's what parents or owners do. ”

Wind Gentleman: "That's right! Only the giver of life and the giver of the giver can give a name, which is not as simple as a random nickname. For cultivators, names are not given casually, but are often given by the master. The white dragon begged me to give me a name, either to recognize me as the lord or to worship me as a teacher, so I said that she was shrewd. ”

"Then why didn't she just beg you to let her go. ”

Feng Junzi: "If she wants to be a dragon, I will accept her as a Dharma protector, and if she wants to be a person, I will accept her as a disciple." Anyway, am I embarrassed to lock her in the Hidden Dragon Abyss? I'm going to let her go, so I don't have to ask for it. In her opinion, worshipping an immortal who can recite the Book of Heaven as a teacher is of course much better than her practicing dragon alone! ”
