The two filled their stomachs with the remaining food at will, and then sat down to rest. With the old woman around, the two of them didn't say much.

After the old woman breathed very smoothly, Shui Chenbi took a branch, glanced at Xue Jingying, and slowly wrote on the ground: There is an exit in the cave.

Xue Jingying looked down and saw the joy on his face, and was about to open her mouth to ask him, when she suddenly thought that the old woman behind her closed her mouth again, and also picked up a branch and wrote: Where is it?

The two communicated with each other with branches, and Xue Jingying found out that Shui Chenbi had checked the surroundings by the way when she went out to look for food just now.

When the old woman led them here before, they had already discovered that the dungeon at the bottom of the lake was very large, but just now when the water sinks the jade and explored it by themselves, they found that it is not only large, but also the terrain is very complicated. There are hundreds of all kinds of forks inside , and they are all very narrow, densely packed like a huge beehive, and they don't know where the road leads.

Shui Chenbi chose a road at will, and encountered many dead ends. He marked all the roads he passed, and followed the wind direction in the side road, and he really came to a place.

As soon as you enter that place, the side road opens up into a curved high triangle, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, with stone walls on both sides, like a narrow moat squeezed out by two towering mountains.

It was very dark underneath, but there was a ray of sky-like light on the top.

Shui Chenbi climbed the stone wall and used her internal strength to jump up. She used her strength to jump up between the two stone walls. It took half a quarter of an hour to climb to the top of the line of sky. Standing on the top and looking down, the bottom is like an abyss .

As soon as he came up, he found that there is indeed an exit here, but it has been sealed. There is a thick black iron stone slab on the exit. Four heavy iron chains are hung on the stone slab. The ends of the chains are firmly embedded in the stone walls of the two mountains. Inside, standing still, a thick layer of dust had already accumulated on the upper layer of the chains.

There is a seam on the edge of the stone slab. I don’t know whether the stone slab has been worn or deviated over the years. A ray of light shines through the seam. Looking out through the seam, you can see the open world outside, as well as the blue sky and white clouds.

Shui Chenbi climbed on the wall and tried to push the black iron stone slab, but because he didn't have a strong point under his feet, he couldn't use much strength, and the slate stone didn't move at all.

He sent another three layers of internal force to hit the stone slab, and the slab moved a little, but it fell down again because of the four chains locked, making a loud noise.

Shui Chenbi stopped his hand immediately, he frowned and thought for a while, if he used all his internal energy, he would definitely be able to blow away the failure, but when the chains were pulled, the loud noise would definitely startle the old woman.

Thinking about it, he still planned to find a chance to get rid of the old woman and then bring Xue Jingying here to open it. With such a plan, he absorbed his inner strength and jumped down.

Because of the movement of the stone slab just now, the incoming light has deviated. When the water sinks to the bottom, there is actually a stone gate under the sky. That stone gate is no different.

He frowned, and immediately stepped over. When he got closer, he found that it was exactly the same, but there was a dark eye on the side of the stone door. He had a guess in his heart, so he pushed hard at the dark eye.

Sure enough, the stone gate opened in response to the sound, Shui Chenbi looked up, this stone gate was exactly the cave where he and Xue Jingying swam up from the bottom of the lake before.

It turned out that he went around the cave and entered the stone gate.

Seeing him gesturing on the ground what he found in this dungeon, Xue Jingying was also very surprised.In my mind, I remembered that the old woman had sworn to them that there was nothing to say.

Xue Jingying frowned, since Shui Chenbi could be found easily, he didn't believe that the old woman would not know after staying here for more than 20 years, so why did she lie to them?

Xue Jingying frowned more and more, but they didn't know anything about this old woman. He really couldn't guess who she was just based on conjecture. He had suspected that she was from the Snow Mountain School and Fenqing Valley before, but her martial arts moves And completely different.

And who did she offend, she was able to build such a large prison under the lake, and kept the old woman behind closed doors for so many years without killing her? Is there a grudge or something hidden in the old woman? What about the secret?

He speculated in his heart and came to no conclusion, so he could only press it and not mention it.

In the next two days, the old woman was bossing Xue Jingying and Shui Chenbi for a while. Whenever she had the opportunity, she would try her best to question them or attack them from the side, but Xue Jingying couldn't tell the truth, and Shui Chenbi But always keep silent, or can't deny it, making people confused about the truth.

The old woman's temper became increasingly irritable, and she had the faint intention of using Xue Jingying to force Shui Chenbi to speak.

And Xue Jingying and Shui Chenbi were always looking for opportunities facing her, but the old woman was very cautious, and it was very difficult to drug the old woman in the food.

After a few days like this, the atmosphere on both sides became increasingly tense, almost imminent, and Xue Jingying felt a little restless in her heart. It was not until the fourth day that they finally waited for an opportunity.

Xue Jingying and Shui Chenbi had a bitter taste in their mouths even after eating the blue fish and sea fruits at the bottom of the lake for many days.

Xue Jingying and Shui Chenbi became bored after eating for a few days, thinking that the old woman had stayed here for more than 20 years, eating these things every day, both of them couldn't help frowning.

The three of them had just finished eating some sea fruit that day, the old woman began to close her eyes and adjust her breath again, Xue Jingying and Shui Chenbi had just sat down, when suddenly there were a few small creaking sounds from the cave.

Xue Jingying was wondering, when suddenly she saw the eyes of the old woman who was in meditation opened, and there was a burst of light in her eyes, she saw her suddenly make a move, and when she retracted the iron chain, Xue Jingying saw a beaten intestines pierced on the ground Fat mouse, Xue Jingying frowned.

When the old woman saw the mouse, her eyes lit up for a while, and she immediately raised her eyes to call out to Xue Jingying: "Go! Roast it for the old man."

baked?Why did you bake it?

Xue Jingying looked at her, frowning, and there was a hint of disbelief in her eyes.

The old woman understood what he meant, she snorted coldly: "You have only stayed here for a few days, you can still eat these bitter fish and sea fruits, wait for you to stay here for a while like the old man Years, five years, ten years, 20 years, when the time comes, not to mention the rat meat, I am afraid that even seeing an earthworm, I will be more excited than my old body."

As he spoke, he shouted to Xue Jingying, who had a look of disgust in his eyes: "Why are you still standing there, hurry up and pick it up for the old man!"

Xue Jingying: "..."

Although Xue Jingying was not pampered since she was a child, she was still aloof. When would she go to pick up rat meat? He frowned and took a moment to move.

As soon as he got up, he was held back by Shui Chenbi. Shui Chenbi glanced at him, stood up, and said to the old woman: "Senior, let me do it."

After saying that, she got up to pick up the dead mouse. The old woman snorted and said, "Your junior loves him dearly. Unfortunately, you are affectionate and righteous to him. You treat him with all your heart and soul. You little lover treats you so dearly." Ah, I'm afraid I'm heartless."

Hearing this, Shui Chenbi paused for a moment. After a while, he picked up the dead mouse, raised his head and smiled at the old woman, and said, "Senior was joking."

The old woman snorted coldly when she heard the words, and turned to one side.

Shui Chenbi took the rat out, cleaned it by the lake and came back to roast it. He moved neatly and cleanly, just like handling those fish before, as proficiently as he did it countless times.

Xue Jingying looked at him and frowned.

He didn't know why he wanted to help him like this, they were obviously sworn enemies before, and they were also tit for tat during the Western Demon Cult, but now that his poor martial arts were gone, he defended them instead.

Moreover, he was obviously the young master of the Demon Cult before, and the teacher of a country later, no matter which one he was, he was honored and served by others.Now he is doing all this so proficiently, just like gathering firewood to make a fire in the cave before.

As Xue Jingying thought about it, she was inexplicably angry.

Several people thought in different ways, the mouse had been roasted on the fire and smelled of oil, it was indeed very attractive, but no matter how tempting it was, Xue Jingying thought it was a mouse, and she lost her appetite.

Only the old woman couldn't wait any longer, as soon as Shui Chenbi was baked and handed over, she couldn't wait to chew on it.

It must have been a long time since I saw meat. The old woman ate so delicious that she even forgot the drug test. As she ate, her movements became slower and slower, and finally stopped, and then The rat fell to the ground with a thud.

Shui Chenbi stood there without moving, and softly called out twice: "Senior, senior?"

The old woman slumped limply in the wheelchair without any response.

Shui Chenbi walked up to the old woman, quickly touched her acupuncture points, and then gestured to Xue Jingying, who quickly followed him out of the cave.

The two of them followed the road signs marked by Shui Chenbi two days ago and arrived at the moat in Shui Chenbi's mouth. Xue Jingying looked up and saw that it was indeed a thin line of sky, only a little light leaked from the top.

Xue Jingying didn't have martial arts, and Shui Chenbi couldn't hold him even if he wanted to use his kung fu to shake the stone board away later, so he let Xue Jingying lie on his back, and then carried him all the way up with light kung fu.

With a personal speed slower than before, it took more than a quarter of an hour for the two of them to reach the top. Xue Jingying looked up and saw the stone slab as described by Shenbi.

Shui Chenbi glanced at him, told him to hold on tightly, and then moved his kung fu to the palm of his hand, with ten percent of his internal force, he slapped the stone slab with a palm, and there was a boom on the top of the cave, and the stone slab flew away with four chains attached to it, and the two people's heads It was bright in an instant.

Shui Chenbi was overjoyed at the moment, and he was about to fly out with his feet, but as soon as he stood up, he heard a sound of piercing the sky, and then lightened his back, Shui Chenbi looked back, and saw a black iron chain pulled up from below , wrapped around Xue Jingying's waist, and pulled him down violently.

Shui Chenbi quickly flew down and grabbed the end of the chain. He spread his legs apart on the stone walls on both sides, tightened the chain, and the chain was straightened at once, and Xue Jingying was entangled in the middle of the chain.

The old woman at the bottom also tightened the chain, looked at the two of them and sneered: "I told you that there is no way out, but you still want to look for it, and you promised to stay here as an attendant for me, but you backtracked. Since you don't take the old body seriously, then don't blame the old man for being ruthless."

As he said that, a chain swept across, Shui Chenbi quickly dodged and jumped to the other side of the stone wall, and the chain followed.

Shui Chenbi dodged all the way, the chain whipped randomly between the stone walls, there was a rumbling sound in an instant, and large pieces of rubble fell down.

The old woman seemed to have decided to die together, but she didn't care, she herself was also underneath, but she just kept sweeping the chains, watching the sky almost collapsed under the gravel she picked up, and then no one could get out, Shui Chenbi frowned more and more, and finally shouted to the old woman to stop.

He let go and jumped down, stopping not far from the old woman.

The old woman also retracted the chain, grabbed Xue Jingying's neck and looked at him.

Shui Chenbi held the long sword in her hand, and watched the old woman's voice turn cold: "Senior is so cruel, is he planning to die with us?"

The old woman looked at him and smiled: "The old man asked you to stay with me, so naturally I can't let you go."

Shui Chenbi frowned: "It seems that senior knew that he could go out here."

The old woman snorted and said, "Of course I already knew it, but so what if I knew it, I can't leave, and neither can you, you have to stay with me!"

As he said that, another chain was pulled towards Shui Chenbi, Shui Chenbi quickly turned over and dodged, the old woman hurriedly chased the chains, the faster Shui Chenbi's feet moved, a few sweeps of the long sword also let the The old woman can't avoid it.

The old woman turned cold in the end, and had no intention of fighting him openly, she directly grabbed Xue Jingying by the throat, and said to Shui Chenbi: "If you don't want him to die, you can catch him without a fight."

Shui Chenbi glanced at her, fell in front of her, and said: "Your junior can be arrested without a fight, but before that, please ask senior for a truce. This junior wants to ask senior to answer. Senior has been imprisoned for so many years, it is impossible not to want to go out, but You knew the exit but didn't leave, senior, do you have any unspeakable secrets or difficulties?"

The old woman glanced at him and sneered: "So what if I tell you? Can you still help the old man get out?"

Shui Chenbi looked at her: "Nothing is necessary, this junior will do his best."

The old woman narrowed her eyes: "Okay, since you, the younger generation, have asked, I will tell you that the reason why I don't leave is not because I don't want to leave, but because of the chains and wheelchair on my body. Both of them are made of black iron. It is indestructible, except for the key, there is only a magic weapon stronger than black iron that can be opened. The key has been thrown into the bottom of the lake and disappeared without a trace. As for the magic weapon, I have never heard of anything stronger than black iron in my old age. , since the old man has no hope of getting away, and finally saw you two alive before he died, how could he let you go!"
