Qin San's sister-in-law ran away. Seeing that Cheng Zhan was not in a hurry to chase after him, Si Ye knew something about it and must have made complete preparations. So, like Cheng Zhan, he focused all his attention on the cave.
According to their previous judgment, Si Jiayi can be found almost where Qin Laosan can be found. In the same way, Qin Sansao was taken away by Qin Laosan, so Qin Sansao is most likely to be with Si Jiayi.
The grass outside the cave was quite stubborn, and I didn’t know what kind of plant it was. The word "flexible" only reflected "toughness". It made Siye's hands and feet hurt when he scratched it. Cheng Zhan didn't feel much better when he looked at it, but a small person like this
The scratches come and go, but it seems that his front foot was scratched and his back foot recovered immediately.
This ability to self-mutilate and heal at any time made Si Ye envious. Cheng Zhan looked at Si Ye's scratched hand and said softly, "It's not a bad thing to bleed sometimes."
How to say this?
Cheng Zhan chopped off the weeds with a knife, "If you can bleed, it means that the cells can be regenerated. Once the cells in your body have been replaced with a new batch, you will no longer be you."
Si Ye was speechless.
Cheng Zhan, Cheng Zhan, if you don’t know how to comfort people, then don’t comfort them. I really know how to thank you.
Unexpectedly, there is a unique scenery in this cave.
It is not an ordinary cave. The terrain is all the way down. There is no haze and mold in the cave. On the contrary, it is warm and dry, and the smell that hits your face is very clean, like the smell of grass mixed with pine wood.
After the two of them entered the mountain, they had not used their mobile phones much because there was no signal, but now they came in handy. They used their mobile phones for lighting. In the small cave, the light from their mobile phones was enough.
What you enter is a long and narrow passage with stone walls on both sides, which is about the same width as two people walking side by side. The stone walls are not smooth, but there are many plants growing there, and there are even flowers that cannot be named. When the light shines through, everything you see is gorgeous.
, it is really a garden hidden in the darkness.
There were bright red berries next to it, and he didn't know what they were. Si Ye thought they were quite cute, so he reached out to touch them. The next second, Cheng Zhan grabbed his wrist, "Be careful, it's poisonous."
Si Ye finally came to his senses and said with a smile, "I almost forgot, in these wild mountains and mountains, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are."
Cheng Zhan let go of his hand and reminded him to be careful.
Si Ye became interested and said to him again, "You think so? It's just like you, you are pretty, but you have a cruel personality."
"There are exceptions." Cheng Zhan said calmly and without anger, "I think you are very naive and simple, especially when facing spirits, so you are naturally harmless."
These words were full of insinuations, and it was not that Si Ye didn't understand, but he still thought about it and said with a smile, "So what you mean is that I am both handsome and compassionate, right? Brother Zhan, in fact,
You don’t need to beat around the bush to praise me. I can stand praise. If you want to praise me, just do it freely."
Cheng Zhan glanced at him and said, "Well, being thick-skinned is also your advantage."
Si Ye chuckled, he didn't think there was anything wrong with being thick-skinned. If he couldn't show off his face, how could he tempt Cheng Zhan to come here?
The terrain goes all the way down, and it can be said that there are flowers all the way.
Si Ye was worried, "If Si Jiayi is really here, the body will probably be..."
The rest was left unsaid.
Cheng Zhan understood what he meant. No matter how good the conditions here were, a corpse was still a corpse, and it was still uncertain what it would look like after so long.
"Can't you summon ghosts?" Cheng Zhan said.
Si Ye was speechless, "Thank you, Brother Zhan, for raising my ability to a higher level. I can dream about ghosts, but only under extreme conditions can I summon those with low energy..."
He swallowed the words "it's not of much use". People have their own abilities, and ghosts are the same. It's not good to curse people because they have low energy.
"But having said that, Si Jiayi doesn't come to my dreams these days. I don't know why." Si Ye felt strange.
In the past, she would always come to him in his dreams from time to time, and he would cry miserably. But now it's better, he has reached this stage, and Si Jiayi doesn't even face her.
Cheng Zhan thought for a while, "Maybe it's because we are getting closer and closer to her... body."
There was no reason and no basis. Cheng Zhan was just guessing, but Si Ye felt that it might really be the case. As for why he didn't show up when he was close to his body, Si Ye had no way of knowing.
The time on the phone showed that after walking for about ten minutes, what came into view was the cave!
There were no longer rocks under the feet, but stones glowing with colorful lights, half hidden in the water. Si Ye took a closer look and saw that it was not the light coming from the stones, but the sparkling light floating on the water surface.
There are strange-shaped stalactites above the head, and the occasional water droplets are also glowing. Looking from a distance, it looks like fireflies are flying around.
I never expected that this seemingly inconspicuous cave would be so beautiful inside.
I can no longer use my mobile phone, the light here is enough to support my vision.
They saw Si Jiayi!
To be precise, it was Si Ye who recognized Si Jiayi. Cheng Zhan had never seen Si Jiayi before, so when he saw a girl lying opposite him, he asked Si Ye if it was her.
Si Ye looked over and was so surprised, "It's Si Jiayi, but..."
but!
Why is it still alive?
When the two of them got closer, they realized that the living thing was real, but not alive.
No breathing.
But it was as if she had fallen asleep. The skirt on her body was not rotten, and her hair was shawl-length. Siye knelt down to check her carefully, and even reached out to touch her face. He took a breath, and his skin was elastic.
It's just that the body temperature is very cold, the kind that has no temperature at all, the body temperature of a dead person.
"How could this happen?" Si Ye was shocked.
This was indeed beyond their expectations. After such a long time, even if it wasn't so rotten that only a skeleton was left, the whole body would still be horrible to look at.
Still so alive?
Generally speaking, even if there is such a well-preserved body, it must be under absolutely sealed conditions. And this is a cave with flowers, grass and running water. How can it not only not rot but be more like a living person?
?
Cheng Zhan couldn't answer, so he knelt down and took a closer look. Like Si Ye, he even reached out and touched her face, and even touched her carotid artery with his slender fingers.
He's dead, that's right.
"Are you sure it's Sijiayi?" Cheng Zhan asked again.
Si Ye nodded, Si Jiayi, how could he admit his mistake? It's not like he had never seen her before. He would not be able to recognize her if she was turned into withered bones, but the girl in front of him had clear features and could not be easier to identify.
Cheng Zhan didn't say anything else and stood up and looked around.
Si Ye did not get up, but was still carefully looking at Si Jiayi in front of him. He was really alive, and there was no rancid smell at all.
"Brother Zhan." Si Ye called softly.
Cheng Zhan looked back at him.
"Didn't you collect the soul before? Can you use it back on her?" Si Ye asked.
Cheng Zhan answered simply, "It works, but she is a walking corpse." He paused and added, "After all, she is dead and her soul is gone."
Si Ye sighed, there was nothing he could do.
"There's something wrong here." Cheng Zhan said immediately.
After hearing the words, Si Ye stood up and stood with him. He did not ask further questions, but looked around like Cheng Zhan. If something was wrong, there must be something wrong. The air was clearly circulated here, so how were the bodies preserved?
But he knew that was not what Cheng Zhan wanted to say.
"There is water here, but it's not humid." Si Ye said with a frown.
This is what I felt when I first entered the cave. It was warm and dry. But as I continued to go down, a cave appeared here. Not to mention the strange things, the temperature still felt so comfortable, which really made people hesitate.
Even if there is no water flowing in a cave deep underground, the temperature will be much lower than above.
Cheng Zhan nodded, this is indeed one of them.
He took out his cell phone again and turned on the flashlight. The light shone on the surrounding vegetation. "Do you think these plants look too lively?"
It's quite lively.
For example, when he first entered the cave, those berries were really cute. If Cheng Zhan hadn't stopped him, he would have picked two of them.
But just because I thought of this, I suddenly realized, yes, it is too vivid.
There are plants that don't like light, but they can bloom without sunlight? This is quite puzzling. Siye followed the light to the mountain wall, and the sparkling light on the water surface reflected on the petals in front of him, and even the flowers in the petals.
The veins can all be seen clearly.
I don't know what kind of flower it is. It is pure white, with petals as big as a bowl, shaped like a snow lotus, and very green leaves. Si Ye looked at the flower in front of him, then turned to look at Si Jiayi.
Surprise, yes, it's all too vivid.
So before Cheng Zhan could react, Si Ye reached out and touched the bowl-sized flower in front of him without saying a word.
Unexpectedly, a shocking scene appeared!
The flower was alive and blooming one second, and then suddenly changed the next second. Before Si Ye even put his finger down, he saw that the flower in front of him was rapidly withering, and even turned into a star of light and disappeared in an instant.
"This..." Si Ye was shocked.
Cheng Zhan understood immediately. He narrowed his eyes slightly, then stretched out his hand, and suddenly the red light suddenly lit up the entire cave.
Si Ye raised his eyes and took another breath.
I saw that everything in front of me was twisting and deforming, and those lights were flying and hitting each other, like headless flies. This was nothing, but I saw that the stalactites above my head were also looming, and the surrounding vegetation was just like before.
They look like flowers, and some are beginning to wither.
Looking at Si Jiayi again, the dress on her body has also changed, and it is also looming.
"Brother Zhan!" Si Ye gestured.
After Cheng Zhan saw the change in Si Jiayi's dress, he suddenly pulled it back together, and the red light suddenly disappeared.
Then everything returned to normal.
However, the stalactites have been transformed into their original appearance, and the newly withered flowers are no longer there, including the bowl-sized flower that Shino just touched.
The hem of Si Jiayi's skirt seemed to have been burned, but fortunately Cheng Zhan stopped his hand quickly and was able to save her skirt. Si Ye knelt down and said to Si Jiayi, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I definitely didn’t mean to take advantage of you.”
