"Let's go too, Cen Zhu. The fire is about to burn up. Your master and Qingsong are already down the mountain. They are waiting for you."

Cen Zhu looked up at the sky. Pieces of black smoke rose from the back mountain, like melted ink, slowly merging with the black clouds in the sky.It seems to swallow the whole mountain.

Li Jingchen looked at her beggingly, the eagerness in his eyes was almost as red as a mountain fire.

Cen Zhu is still in a state of letting go.Standing up slowly, he swayed his knees twice, and walked towards the cave with a twist and a limp.

Li Jingchen had no choice but to follow her, "General Zhou, please forgive me!"

Zhou Xiaochuan understood, walked in front of her and said, "Come on!" He picked up Li Jingchen on his back, and strode to catch up with Cen Zhu.

According to Yunzhong's information, the place where the fire broke out was in the Thorn Forest, and the other end of the cave might have become a sea of ​​flames.Li Jingxuan followed Cen Zhuo to the stone wall, see? She was going to drill under the stone wall, almost scolding: "What are you trying to do! Are you crazy?" Cen Zhuo turned a deaf ear and continued with his actions.Li Jingchen slid off Zhou Xiaochuan's back in a hurry, "Stop her!"

The guard hurried forward to stop him.Zhou Xiaochuan saw that Cen Zhu had something up his sleeve, so he reasoned: "Master Cen, it's not that I won't help you, the mountain fire can spread to the front at any time, the longer we stay here, the more dangerous we will be. Do you want His Highness to accompany you on an adventure?"

She seemed to hesitate for a while, then lowered her head and said, "I just want to go back and find something."

Hearing her speak, Li Jingchen was half relieved.But his face was still not very good-looking, and he said: "You can go, but I have to wait until I have cleaned up all the arrows underneath."

After all, let the guards bring the torch, and use the spear to sweep up and down the wedge-shaped bottom of the hole, drawing out many black lacquered? Crossbow|arrows.Carefully stack them in one place.After confirming that there is no more poisonous arrow left, she tied a rope around her waist and said, "I know you are feeling very uncomfortable now, so I will not stop you from doing anything. But you have to think clearly. , the dead cannot be resurrected, I will wait for you here on the stone wall."

Cen Zhu stared blankly at those poisonous | arrows, his eyes seemed to have flashes of water, and without saying a word, he lay down and slowly crawled towards the bottom of the cave.Due to the explosion of explosives, the bottom of the cave was a little wider than when we came here, but it was only a little bit more. Zhou Xiaochuan saw that her legs stopped in one place, and she stretched her feet in and moved forward tacitly. With a kick, her figure quickly disappeared at the other end of the hole.

After a long time, there was no movement there.Zhou Xiaochuan listened to the ear wall, and suddenly heard a regular sound of knocking on stones, coming from the other side.

Li Jingchen hurriedly said: "It's her, quickly pull her here."

Zhou Xiaochuan understood, but when he pulled up the rope, he found that the weight on the other end was very light, as if he was tied to something, but it was definitely not alone.After pulling it over, I found that the other end of the rope was tied with a piece of rag, and a round object was wrapped inside.She recognized that the rag was torn from Cen Zhu's clothes, and when she untied it, her eyes lit up. It turned out that the rag was wrapped with a blue pebble, glowing with a faint blue light, smooth and round, crystal clear and transparent. , Brighter than the night pearl.She was secretly surprised, is this what she was looking for?Entrust it to Li Jingchen.The latter's face changed instantly, becoming like a piece of pale paper.

Following her gaze, Zhou Xiaochuan lowered his head slightly, and suddenly found that there were two lines of blood characters on the rag. Because the color of the cloth was very dark, and the blood was scattered, the handwriting was already blurred and hard to read.But Zhou Xiaochuan still struggled to read the words "Give back Lan Que, don't wait for me" from the palm of his fingers.

She looked at the pebble, then at the blood book, and fell silent for a moment.No matter how you interpret these words, they seem to have the meaning of leaving a last word.She was not very sure, she kept shouting to the stone wall: "Master Cen! Master Cen!" Only the empty echo was left on the other side.

Li Jingzhu stood up suddenly, turned around and walked out, but just took a step, his body swayed twice, and then fell straight down in front of everyone.

"What's going on here?" Yun Zhong heard that Li Jingchen hadn't gone down the mountain yet, so he came all the way from Qixia Temple to find the cave.See? Seeing this scene, I was furious and yelled in anger, "You bastard, the fire is going to burn up the mountain. If she wants to die, she should die. Everyone listen to my order and retreat down the mountain immediately!"

After speaking, he picked up Li Jingbai and ran out of the cave.

Zhou Xiaochuan was worried, and tied the rope around his waist, "I'll go over and have a look."

Her stature is about the same as Cen Zhu's, and her martial arts foundation is much better than hers, so she crawled under the cave without using any strength.As soon as she entered, she smelled the smell of blood. She shone the torch into the cave, and there were human corpses and severed limbs everywhere, as if she had just experienced the baptism of a bloody? war.There was still an unpleasant smell of gunpowder smoke in the cave. As she walked and checked, most of these people had been dead for a long time. What was even more frightening was that there were a few small white snakes gathered under a certain mutilated corpse. , eating human corpses.Zhou Xiaochuan frowned. It was rumored that beasts that ate human flesh would surely cause disasters in the future, so he picked up these small snakes one by one, and cut them off one by one with swords dancing in the air.No future troubles.

There was no trace of Cen Zhu anywhere, so she continued to walk in, and soon reached the center of the heart.Then I witnessed the scene of thousands of water droplets seeping from the cracks in the stone wall, which was really shocking.I couldn't help reaching out to touch it, but it was bounced off by the ice. I was secretly surprised, but I didn't expect that the hinterland was as cold as an ice cellar while the flames were raging outside.

What's even more strange? The bloody smell disappeared halfway through, and the air became fresh and circulated.But after passing through the hinterland, the closer to the front exit, the hotter the air, and the smoke filled in, making it difficult to breathe.She thought it was almost the end.It was difficult to move forward, so I covered my mouth and nose and slowly backed away. Unexpectedly, after the black smoke entered the cave, it didn't go straight forward, but turned at a right angle and went up in a certain wide? Dome.There appear to be vents on it.Zhou Xiaochuan was even more convinced that there must be some kind of man-made factors in the design of this mountain road.

There are many large and small stone chambers and grottoes in the cave, and it is impossible for her to check them one by one. Besides, if the person is trying to avoid it, no one will find out anyway.Zhou Xiaochuan was worried that if the delay continued, the entrance to the cave on the other side would be sealed by the mountain fire, and he would be unable to leave.She had no choice but to turn back and ask for a few more torches from the person outside the stone wall, and scattered them all over the cave. She thought that if the person was still alive, he would definitely need this.Then he left the cave and went down the mountain.

Li Jingchen woke up crying on Yunzhong's shoulder a few times, begging in a sleepy voice: "Yunzhong, hurry up and get the fire|powder, or it will be too late."

While stepping down the stone steps, Yun Zhong clenched his gums tightly and kept silent.He dared not tell her that at this time, Qixia Mountain had already been burned into a sea of ​​flames, not to mention the stone cave, even birds could not fly to it.

Half an hour ago.

"How is it? Have you finished moving the books? The fire is about to burn up." Yun Zhong asked anxiously.

"There are so many books, how could it be possible to finish moving them, General!" The shirtless? His subordinates complained incessantly, their clothes made into book-wrapped boxes, staring at him in embarrassment.Who would have expected that the fire would rise suddenly, coupled with the wind of evil everywhere, there was only one place where the fire was originally, but now there is thick smoke everywhere.

Yun Zhong had no choice but to order: "Tell the soldiers, don't go up the mountain again. It's over after moving this batch." After speaking, he apologized to Master Qingyun: "I'm sorry, Master, this junior really has no intentions and no energy." They must protect the lives of their subordinates.

Qingyun looked away instead, "Amitabha, the general's ability to do this is already an immeasurable merit."

At this time, the gate of the temple was opened, and an elderly monk stepped into the gate of the temple. When all the monks saw him, they surrounded him and cried out, "Abbot!"

The person who came was Master Qinglian, the abbot of Qixia Temple.It is said that after the little monk Zhenwu reported the letter for Cen Zhu, he rushed to Wan'an Temple in the south of the city to invite Abbot Qinglian back.Unexpectedly, when he came back, Qixia Temple was engulfed in flames.

Qing Lian deserves to be the God of Dinghai in Qixia Temple. He first thanked the tribes of Yunzhong for their rescue of scriptures, and then called several eminent monks of the Qing Dynasty from the crowd, and told them to lead the Qixia monks in batches after they came down the mountain. Go to Wan'an Temple, Donglin Temple, Fojue Temple and other temples to live temporarily, waiting for the day when Qixia Temple is rebuilt.The monks who were at a loss suddenly seemed to have a backbone, and went down the mountain in batches in an orderly manner.

When Yun Zhong heard that he was going to the Sutra Pavilion, he tried to stop him.

Abbot Qinglian smiled and said: "In life there is death, and in death there is life. To get rid of life and death is what my Zen sect seeks. General, please go down the mountain as soon as possible. I still have some necessary? Schoolwork to do. No So easy to die."

He? These words seem to be comforting, and it seems that he has mastered some kind of golden cicada's method of getting rid of its shell.

Yun Zhong didn't understand the old monk's approach. Since he was forced to take his younger sister south to flee famine 20 years ago, there was only one belief left in him, that is, to live, which is more important than anything else.Maybe he is the generation Taifu Tan said, the generation that broke up with the bell 20 years ago?

Meeting Li Jingchen was the greatest luck in his life.

He? Sure and sure, there will be no second person, let him go through fire and water willingly.Therefore, no matter how the person on his shoulder begged or even threatened, he turned a deaf ear to it.To save her from the flames? The thought overwhelmed everything.

At the foot of the mountain, Yun Zhong was exhausted and exhausted, his face was as black as carbon ashes, and black smoke was coming out of his mouth.

When the imperial physician gave Li Jingchen the injection, he was puzzled all the time, "General, Your Highness has been muttering about going to get the gunpowder, is there something on your mind?"

No one can understand the corner of Yun Zhong's mouth? That wry smile, she didn't want gun|powder, she clearly wanted Cen Zhu to come back to her.Better now, right now.Even in the dream, she remembered that she finally got into the stone wall, and it took gun|powder to break through the barrier.

Yun Zhong choked out a puff of white smoke, now really? He really wants to do this for her, and then drag that person out and beat him to death.

Due to the rapid spread of the mountain fire, everyone came down from the mountain with a gray nose, except Zhou Xiaochuan's entire face was still white.It turned out that she has always been quick-witted. Seeing that the mountain fire had spread, she quickly retreated to the hinterland of the tunnel, took off her coat, soaked it on the water curtain and stone wall, and covered it over her head, making a fire and heat insulation hood.Therefore, on the way down, not only did she not suffer any damage, but she was a little more stable and calm than those who went down the mountain earlier.

At first, Yun Zhong was worried that she would not be able to get down, but when they met him, he couldn't help being very surprised, and wanted to ask Cen Zhu about his condition first.Li Jingchen called her into the tent one step ahead of time.Yun Zhong waited anxiously outside the tent. He was worried that Li Jing would misunderstand what he said earlier, so he said to Zhou Xiaochuan: "I went into that cave before, and it was dark and damp with water on the stone walls. Ordinary people stay in it." There is no problem for one day and one night." Zhou Xiaochuan had a half-smile, "You should tell His Highness what you said." Later he did say that, but when he organized a few warriors who had already been selected, he planned to take advantage of the night When I went up the mountain to search for Cen Zhu, what I got was an extremely indifferent? "No need"? Response.Yun felt that something had quietly changed beyond his expectations.Although this day came earlier than he? expected.
