Just remember

"Are they done talking?"

"Maybe not."

"But it seems to be going well."

"Hopefully, I've put up with them for a long time."

"Who isn't? It's so awkward that a good companion insists on having a cold war."

"I think that's not what Young Master Qing is enduring."

"Master Dingchen is also a transparent person."

"The heart is outside the world, but people are in the world. Everyone in the world suffers. My Buddha is merciful."

"In fact, every time you speak, master, we understand less and understand more."

"If you understand, you don't understand. If you don't understand, you understand. Everything depends on fate, and there is no need to force it."

"Master Dingchen, I can bear them, but you and I can't bear it anymore..."

With the end of the cold war between Chun Jinran and Pei Xiaoyi, the young heroes of the Central Plains can finally calm down and take a real break.

But everyone dared not rest for too long. After all, there was no light ahead and no entrance behind. This feeling of unreliability hanging in the middle was more tormenting than hunger and exhaustion.

So after a short nap, Xia Houfu came to Hang Mingzhe's side.The latter also just squinted, and quickly opened his eyes when he heard someone approaching. When he saw that it was someone coming, Hang Mingzhe smiled like a flower: "Mr. Xiahou, what's the matter?"

Xia Houfu's expression was dignified, and he lost all intention of being polite, and said bluntly: "Calculating the time, I feel that I have been away for almost a day, that is to say, if we can't get out within the next half day, we will have to go back home."

Hang Mingzhe didn't understand what he meant: "so?"

Xia Houfu said bluntly: "I feel that I can't get out. Rather than staying for half a day, it's better to turn back now."

Hang Mingzhe looked at him thoughtfully for a while, then his smile suddenly became playful: "Mr. Xiahou is afraid?"

Xia Houfu's complexion became not very good, although he was indeed scared, but he was still very uncomfortable to be told so bluntly by the useless Hang Mingzhe, and there was a thorn in his words: "It seems that the third young master Hang has a plan. "

"I don't know, let's take a look."

Hang Mingzhe acted like a rascal who let Er wind from southeast to northwest.Xiahou Fu was angry, but there was nothing he could do.

The conversation between the two was not long, but they quarreled with the Lord Qi who had finally fallen asleep.As a result, the host prayed that he could no longer fall asleep, and the two fell asleep separately.Qi Wanguan was depressed, but also felt uncomfortably wet and cold, so he simply got up, ready to walk around to drive away the cold air.Unexpectedly, after walking, he turned into another long and narrow cave.

At first, Qi Wanguan was just curious and didn't think much about it, he just wanted to see where this narrow road, which is only one person wide, leads to.As a result, walking to the end, it is not appropriate to say that it is the end, but the upside-down stone pillars blocked most of the way, leaving only a gap like a dog hole.Qi Wanguan extinguished the torch, put it back in his arms, and in the darkness, bent down and groped through the obstacle by feeling.

The surroundings became more and more silent, and even the sound of water droplets falling to the ground almost disappeared.

Qi Wanguan didn't dare to act rashly, so he maintained the posture of a cat's waist, held his breath, took out the fire fold again, and then ignited it with a stab.

The flame gradually rose, and it slowly illuminated Qi Wanguan's eyes.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Since Chun Jinran said categorically that he would be very sad if Pei Xiaoyi died, Pei Shaoxia was in a very delicate state.Chun Jinran didn't know how to describe it, because this kind of subtlety did not have any obvious characteristics, Pei Xiaoyi's expression was still calm, his eyes were still light, and his breathing was still soothing.But it seems that there are many small emotional sparks hidden in this calmness, lightness, and soothingness. Chun Jin can't see it, but he can feel it.

Then Pei Xiaoyi raised his hand.

Chun Jinran was startled, and immediately took out the thing that had just been put in his arms. Because of his flustered movements, the bell slid from the fleece and fell to the ground, making a jingling sound.

Pei Xiaoyi's hand stopped in the air, his face darkened faintly.

Chun Jinran only realized later that Pei Xiaoyi's hand was clearly coming towards him, not to touch the whip.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Ha, ha ha..." Chun Jinran quickly picked up the bell, rewrapped it and put it back on her body, then showed her innocent smile and snow-white front teeth towards Brother Da Pei and his hands that were still in mid-air, "Come on ,Go on."

In fact, Chun Jinran doesn't know what Pei Xiaoyi wants to do, but it doesn't look like a lethal thing, at most, pinch the face or hit the head, and the worst is to return the original punch , so he decided to let go of his heart and face it calmly.

Pei Xiaoyi remained motionless, but the heaving chest and the blue veins on his forehead revealed his mood.

It doesn't matter what you want to do before, but Pei Shaoxia really wants to beat someone up now.

It was at this time that the scream of the Lord Qi came.

It is said that there may be no way to show the ability of the Lord Qi, it should be called, resounding through the cave.

The two young heroes Da Pei and Xiaochun put aside the difficult construction of the bridge of friendship, and rushed to the source of the screams together with the other young heroes!

After a while, as Guo Pan was the last one to get through the narrow opening, the scene inside the cave appeared before everyone's eyes.

Dead body.

A mess of dead bodies.

The flesh had rotted and disappeared completely, leaving only tattered clothes hanging loosely on the white bones with almost blackened blood stains.Some clothes have been torn into rags, some bones are even missing arms or legs, everything is quietly telling the tragedy that these people suffered at the last moment of their lives.

"It's not a sword wound," Ding Ruoshui squatted next to the bones, not daring to touch them, but only observed closely, "It's more like being bitten by a beast."

"Can you tell just by the bones?" Guo Juan was dubious.

Ding Ruoshui rolled his eyes at him: "You can't see the bones, don't you know how to look at the clothes!"

Guo sentenced to black line.

Qi Wanguan still has lingering fears. The dead bones are not scary. The scary thing is that when the flames light up when he is unprepared, his eyes are full of skeletons.Who the hell can bear this!He definitely forgot to burn incense when he went out...

Hey?and many more!

Qi Wanguan's eyes lit up, ignoring the fact that his little heart was still beating wildly, he walked briskly to the corner of the cave on the left front, where there was a corpse sitting alone, sitting against the rock wall, inconspicuous... Uh, If you don't count the half piece of gold leaf protruding from his arms.

Lord Qi is not a brave person, but when faced with real money, he will be possessed by a god without fear.So the next moment, he quickly searched everything on him.It's a pity that this senior who passed away was not a man with a lot of money. All that was left to Lord Qi was a gold leaf, a white jade waist pendant, and a feng shui compass.

The young heroes of the Central Plains were not interested in the belongings of the three melons and two dates, so they stuffed them into their arms along with the landlord, but the feng shui compass was not something ordinary people would use, and it was usually only carried by the feng shui master.But Mr. Feng Shui always looks at the mountains and rivers on the ground, or moves to a new house, or chooses a private house. What do you do here underground?And why did he die tragically in this cave?

Countless questions linger in everyone's minds, but there is no answer.

"Look, there seems to be words on this waist pendant." Originally, Qi Wanguan just wanted to take a closer look at some "harvests", but unexpectedly made a new discovery.

Everyone gathered around and looked carefully, and they saw a small "Zhu" character carved on the bottom of the oval waist pendant, which was very concealed.

The underground cave leading to Wuqi Daze, the waist pendant surnamed Zhu, even a fool can think of it——

Qingfeng: "Are they the Zhu family?"

Hang Mingjun: "But I haven't heard that Zhu Fanghe has any descendants."

Chun Jinran: "It may be that the person who came to bury Zhu Fanghe encountered misfortune on the way back; or it may be a descendant of the Zhu family that we don't know who wants to find the treasure secret book of our ancestors again."

At this point, everyone fell into silence by coincidence.

It's not that what Chun Jinran said is wrong, but on the contrary, what Chun Jinran said is probably the truth, otherwise who would deliberately bring a feng shui compass to this far southwestern place.But it is also because of this that it makes people even more unhappy.After all, what they are doing now is the same thing as these people, so these people a few years ago have not survived, and they will really be able to escape unscathed a few years later?

The dense white bones are like Zhu Fanghe's ghostly warning to them, the gangsters who try to disturb his eternal sleep.

"Listen, what's the sound?" Fang Shulu suddenly asked vigilantly.

Chun Jinran hastily pricked up his ears, and sure enough, some hurried sounds like some kind of beast running were approaching from far to near in their direction!

"Not good! Something is coming!" Hang Mingzhe suddenly screamed, "We can't let them trap us here, crawl out!"

After being reminded by Mr. Hang San, everyone also realized that although they didn't know what was outside, they ended up standing still, and the bones behind them had already given them a clear answer.Death is already terrible, and what's even more terrible is that there may not be a whole body!

The young heroes of the Central Plains didn't dare to dawdle anymore, they almost fled out one by one with their buttocks on their backs!

Seeing that most of his companions had already left, Guo Pan, who was determined to prepare for the rear and hadn't moved, angrily slapped Ding Ruoshui, who was stunned, and pushed him out with one palm, before he followed him!

Outside the cave, the terrifying sound of beasts running became clearer!From the other side far away from the dark river, from the underground darkness that everyone didn't even want to set foot in, evil ghosts rushed towards us!

"Forward or backward?" Lin Qiaoxing asked anxiously.

This is also the choice that everyone faces. Going forward, running farther and farther, no one knows what will be encountered, it may be the exit, or it may be more unknown dangers, and going backward means this trip to the Wuqi Daze The journey can only end here!

"I don't care anymore—" Xia Houfu yelled, and Sa Yazi ran back!

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Hang Mingzhe stomped his feet angrily, and chased after him: "You have to get a fucking book!!!"

The guide who held the topographic map of mountains and rivers and the most honored young master all chose to retreat, and the others no longer persisted, and rushed to the return road with all their strength!

The faint Huozhezi couldn't illuminate anything at all while running fast, and Chun Jinran, who was running in the middle, bumped his head several times.But the voice behind him was getting closer and closer, and the low cave couldn't perform lightness kung fu at all. He was almost running out of breath, but he didn't dare to relax a bit!

"Depend on!"

At the end of the team, Guo Pan's roar suddenly came.

Chun Jinran's heart trembled, and just as she was about to ask loudly, she heard Ding Ruoshui's scream again.

Chun Jinran couldn't ignore it anymore, she stopped and turned around!

Bailang Qiuyang, who was running behind him, did not collide with him, because they were already one step ahead of him, fighting with the unknown beast that was chasing up!

It was a group of gray and black animals that couldn't be seen at all!Its wide and long tail is like a fish, but it has four short legs. It moves very fast and bites anyone it sees!The frightening thing is that they didn't make any sound, even if they were chopped off by Guo Pan with an axe, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere, they were still silent!

"what--"

One jumped up and bit Chun Jinran's tiger's mouth fiercely!

Chun Jinran let go of the pain, the torch fell to the ground and went out, he didn't care to go up to pick it up, he shook his arm violently trying to shake it off!But that thing bites deeper and deeper!Chun Jinran used the other hand to pull it, but unexpectedly it was sticky and slippery, like a fish without scales, it couldn't bear the strength in his hand, and he couldn't catch it at all!

Snapped!

With a sound of the whip, flesh and blood flew everywhere!

Chun Jinran didn't bother to bandage the wound, because more and more monsters gathered at his feet!Many even jumped over him and chased Hang Mingzhe and the others in front of him!

"If you can't finish it, run away!" Pei Xiaoyi's voice was quick and cold.

Guo Juan Bailang on the other side had also discovered that confronting head-on was simply asking for their own death, so they ran resolutely and used weapons to kill a bloody path.

Seeing Guo Pan pulling Ding Ruoshui, Chun Jinran hurriedly exhorted loudly: "Guo Pan, take care of Ding Ruoshui!" After finishing speaking, he raised his knife and killed a monster that was trying to jump up. !

As soon as he ran, he ran in the dark.

The last time he ran like this, he was hunted down by Guo San, but even during the three days and three nights of running for his life, Chun Jinran was able to take some time to catch his breath. After all, it was a human being who was chasing him, not a monster.But this time, he was really running with his life.

Huozhezi couldn't take care of anything, and the fifteen companions also dispersed in the darkness and panic. In the end, only Pei Xiaoyi was left by Chun Jinran's side.The two ran along the sound of the dark river, but fortunately, they finally saw the light at the entrance.

As soon as he walked out of the cave, Chun Jinran could barely open his eyes.

The Central Plains young heroes who ran out before him lay on the ground staggered, bruised and dying.

After a long time, Chun Jinran finally got used to the sunlight, and the joy of the rest of his life was like sunlight, slowly enveloping him warmly.Then Chun Shaoxia said something from the bottom of his heart——

"Which bastard suggested we come to Chiyu, I really want to kill him."

Master Qi struggled to sit up, with piercing eyes: "Although I don't kill, this one can help you."

An hour after this, Qiu Yang and Bailang, Guo Pan and Ding Ruoshui, also in groups of two, escaped with both feet, and saw the light of day again.

So far, fourteen partners have returned safely.

Duque, Xiahou Fu.

"Didn't you... chase him?" Chun Jinran asked Hang Mingzhe, his voice trembling slightly due to a bad premonition.

Hang Mingzhe also looked at a loss: "I, I didn't catch up with him at all, he ran too fast, and then the monster bit me, so I couldn't care about anything..."

Chun Jinran pursed her lips tightly and said nothing more.

Everyone's expressions also became heavy.

"Maybe, he will come out soon..." Hang Mingzhe said so, but his voice was too weak to be convincing.

Fourteen companions waited from noon to evening.

No one came out of the dark and dark cave.

Ding Ruoshui couldn't hold back any longer, and asked the sentence that had been circling in everyone's mind for a long time with a crying voice: "Is there something wrong with him?"

There is no light, no companions, only a little dry food left, but there are countless monsters to face.Every hour that passes outside the cave is the consumption of life inside the cave.

"What should I do? Go back and look for it?" Guo Pan said with a little helplessness.

Someone has to ask this question, whether it is based on conscience or justice, or to give an explanation to Xiahou Villa.

but--

"There is no fire or food, we can't protect ourselves, how can we find it?" Qingfeng's response was tinged with anger.

Someone needs to be loyal to objective reality based on conscience and morality.

In the end, everyone agreed to leave Guo Pan, Bai Lang and Fang Shulu who were only slightly injured and physically strong enough to wait in place. If Xiahou Fu came out, it would be easy to respond, and the rest of the people would go through the jungle together and go back to the stockade Dry food and water, by the way, briefly heal the wound, and then return with these water and food. If Xiahou Fu has not come out at this time, everyone will go back to the cave to look for it.

A day and a half later, the partners who returned to the village brought sufficient food, water and torches to rejoin the three guards at the entrance of the cave.The three of them were already hungry, and they immediately ate to their heart's content.It's just that they were looking forward to food, but they still didn't look forward to the last companion.

With flaming torches, everyone returned to the cave again.

I don't know if it was luck or the light and heat of the torches were too intense, this time they didn't meet the army of monsters again, only a few sporadic ones were cut down by their swords.

Another day and a half, the partners who were almost desperate to give up finally found Xiahou Fu in a remote corner far away from the dark river.At that time, he had been bitten so that there was not a single piece of good flesh on his body, his eyes were wide open, and he held his breath for a long time.
