At this time, six people had successfully climbed up on the peak platform. Among them was Dunzi. Elder Yan Xin closed his eyes and sat cross-legged as if he had fallen into trance. When the last ray of sunset sank into the boundless darkness
, Elder Yan Xin suddenly opened his eyes, looked slightly at the thirteen people who had already arrived, rolled up his red sleeves toward them, and instantly turned into a red shadow and rushed towards the sect.
On a new day, the sun slowly rises, spreading golden light to the earth. It also shines in through a small crack in the cliff. A ray of warm sunlight shines on the still comatose Qingyun.
I don’t know how long it took, but maybe the warm sunshine had an effect. With a groan, Qingyun woke up. After waking up, I felt severe pain all over my body, as if my bones were falling apart. I gritted my teeth and got up with difficulty, and moved slowly.
He went to the stone wall and leaned down. Looking carefully at the place that was inexplicably sucked in, Qingyun smiled bitterly. The only exit he could see was the narrow crack that he accidentally kicked open. And looking inside, there was a darkness.
Huh, I can't see anything.
"What's going on? I was sucked into this damn place for no reason."
"Dunzi must have passed the second level. With his strength, passing the level shouldn't be a problem." Qingyun wasn't too worried about Dunzi at the moment. The two grew up together, and he was still very aware of Dunzi's strength.
"They should find me soon when they find out that I'm missing. The most important thing right now is to heal my injuries first. The sudden force of the suction knocked me unconscious. After my body can move, we can find out what happened.
Fortunately, there is water dripping from the top."
In this way, two days passed slowly.
"Why haven't you found it yet? It shouldn't be difficult to find this crack. I'm so hungry." In the past two days, Qingyun has not eaten anything except drinking a little water dripping from the ceiling. He also consumed a lot during the previous test.
I was really hungry now, so I struggled to go inside to see if I could get something to eat.
The cave is dark inside. No matter how brave Qingyun is, he is only a fourteen-year-old child after all. The further he moves inside, the more terrifying he feels, but in the face of hunger, fear seems to be infinitely reduced.
. I took a few more difficult steps inside, and found nothing but darkness, as if the darkness had no end at all.
"We can't go on like this. I might starve to death before I find anything to eat. It's better to go back to the entrance of the cave and have a look." Qingyun stopped walking inside and turned back towards the entrance of the cave.
Slowly approaching the entrance of the cave, the warm sunshine made Qingyun feel a little more comfortable.
One step, two steps, and just as he was about to approach the hole and peek out, the strange sucking force suddenly appeared again. Qingyun immediately stepped back regardless of the pain. He didn't want to be knocked dizzy again. After taking a few steps back,
The sucking feeling disappeared.
"What the hell is this place?" Qingyun leaned back to his original position dejectedly, feeling a little scared for the first time.
"Yes, I must have failed to reach the platform at the top of the peak. Dunzi and the elders thought that I had not passed the level and was sent back by Xia Peng and the others. And the people below must have thought that I had passed the second level and was sent back by Yan Xin.
The elder took him away... couldn't it be such a coincidence?" Thinking of this, Qingyun felt the urge to cry.
With no way out and no food, do we really have to wait here to die? We originally went through all the trouble to come to the Great Yan Sect just to find immortal magic to heal our bodies, but now we are inexplicably trapped in this desperate place.
Four more days passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, Qingyun's eye sockets were obviously sunken. He sat there motionless and seemed to have no strength to even raise his hands. Only those eyes seemed to be full of unwillingness.
With this unwillingness, time passed quietly for three more days. Qingyun's consciousness began to blur. Uncle Luo Zhu, Dunzi from Jishan Village seemed to appear in front of him, and Ah San, who often competed with him, and who often pestered him.
Xiao Yulan from the story in the book...even her parents, whom she had never seen before, appeared vaguely in front of her eyes.
"Tick tock, tick tock..." The clear water from the top fell down and hit the stone slab of the cave as always, but Qingyun even seemed to give up on the water that was the only one supporting him.
The early morning sunlight shines through the thick grass and vines, bringing a little life to this dead cave. Qingyun has not moved for a long time. He wants to live, wants to do many things, and wants to
I have figured out a lot of things. But in this ghost place that no one seems to be able to find, there seems to be no other way except waiting for death.
In the blink of an eye, in the afternoon, the light at the entrance of the cave suddenly disappeared, and the cave fell into darkness. Then a vague "click" of thunder was heard outside.
The weather in midsummer always changes at a moment's notice. A heavy rainstorm is coming, and soon, the sound of "swishing" sounds.
It might have been an hour, or it might have been two hours, but Qingyun could no longer sense the specific time. Just when Qingyun was about to enter a very beautiful dream, without any warning, several black bodies suddenly flew in from the entrance of the cave.
The thing hit Qingyun indiscriminately. The long-lost severe pain hit Qingyun again. The moisture contained in the black thing hit Qingyun's face, making him regain his consciousness with a jolt.
A smell of blood filled the air and went straight to his nostrils. Qingyun's almost withered stomach seemed to have suddenly been greatly stimulated and began to squirm. He almost instantly guessed what the black thing that hit his body was.
He raised his hand and groped around for a while before grabbing it in his hand. It was the corpse of an unknown bird and beast. Qingyun said nothing and was about to devour it. Suddenly he seemed to think of something again. He paused and put it in his mouth.
Bian began to slowly suck the bird's blood that was still a little warm.
Forced to suppress the disgusting fishy smell, Qingyun chewed some minced meat and swallowed it, then threw the bird carcass aside. He remembered that Uncle Luo Zhu taught that a person's stomach will be empty after being hungry for a period of time.
, avoid eating too greasy, avoid eating too much. What’s more, it’s still raw and cold poultry.
After taking the warm bird blood, I felt that my physical strength had recovered a bit. "Haha. God sent a few birds here when I was about to starve to death. It seems that I am still lucky after all. Hahaha" Qingyun laughed at himself.
Smile. There was not much flesh left on his face, and his smile looked particularly eerie and weird in this darkness.
After eating a few more mouthfuls of minced bird meat, I felt that my stomach was no longer empty. I sat there and thought about it for a while, and then Qingyun fell into a deep sleep. After this sleep, it was the early morning of the next day.
The sky after a heavy rain is always very beautiful, and a warm ray of sunshine lights up the dark cave again. Qingyun opened his eyes and saw the birds and beasts sucked in. There were dozens of them.
There were so many, but they were almost smashed to pieces, and the ground was covered with blood, which was shocking. "It seems that God has treated me well. All the food for this month has been brought to me." Qingyun stood up tremblingly, holding on to the stone wall.
, and then endured the pain and carefully gathered the bird carcasses into a pile.
More than half a month passed like this. When he was hungry, he would eat some bird meat. When he was thirsty, he would drink the water dripping from the roof of the cave. Qingyun's health gradually improved.
On this day, Qingyun stood up, stretched, and moved his muscles. He felt that his whole body was full of energy again. "I am finally alive again, haha." He laughed, walked away and walked into the cave.
Go. Since you can't get out, let's go inside and find out.
The further you go inside, the darker it gets. After walking for a while, you can't see anything anymore, so you can only feel your way forward.
After groping for an unknown amount of time, Qingyun felt that there seemed to be a faint light coming from the front. This cheered him up and he couldn't help but speed up his pace. But from the moment he saw the light, Qingyun felt that the cave suddenly became hot, and
The deeper you went inside, the hotter you felt. In the end, your whole body was dripping with sweat, and your tattered coarse cloth jacket was already soaked through. As the light became stronger and stronger, everything in the cave gradually came into Qingyun's eyes.
When he saw everything in front of him clearly, he was stunned.
I saw a huge copper tripod suspended directly in front of me. This tripod was not an ordinary three-legged tripod, but had nine legs. The upper part of the tripod was engraved with nine golden dragon heads, raising their heads to the sky as if they would escape from the tripod at any time. Throughout the whole
The forest-white flames below the giant cauldron were constantly swirling and burning. What was strange was that there was nothing underneath the flames, as if they had appeared out of thin air.
"Isn't it an illusion?" Qingyun stared at the flames and was puzzled. "Yes, this is inside the mountain belly of Tianzhuo Peak. Maybe it was caused by the magic laid down by some immortal from the Great Yan Sect." Qingyun could only say this.
Only after thinking about it do I think it makes sense.
He circled the cauldron several times, but still couldn't see any clues. So he tried to get closer, but was pushed back by a gentle force. After a long time, Qingyun felt that it was too hot.
Then he continued walking forward.
Just like this, I don’t know how long I walked with twists and turns. The feeling of heat became less and less, and even after walking forward for a while, I could smell a touch of water vapor in the air. This feeling immediately made Qingyun physically and mentally comfortable.
It was cool. After turning another passage, Qingyun suddenly found a large pool of more than ten feet in front of him.
There are stone tables and benches beside the pool. In the open space not far from the pool, patches of green plants are full of vitality. These plants include herbs that Qingyun does not recognize, and some have strange-shaped fruits.
The rich aroma penetrated his nostrils, making him hum in comfort. He looked up and saw a bead embedded on the top of the stone wall that continuously emitted a soft light, illuminating the cave brightly.
"The Immortal who arranged this place is amazing. He was able to create such a cave. If only I could learn this supreme Immortal Technique... Hey, I came to the Great Yan Sect to learn Immortal Techniques.
, Let alone learning the immortal method now, I think it would be as difficult to get out from here as it would be to reach the sky...Ah, no. There are stone tables and benches here, doesn't it mean that someone once lived here?" Qingyun suddenly said
Agitated, I quickly looked around carefully.
