The cliffs are high and the white mist covers the deep streams.
The mountains are green and the water is beautiful, and the insects and birds are hidden.
After an unknown amount of time, Ren Hailuan finally woke up slowly. Hearing the seemingly non-existent "whistle" of the stream, I slowly opened my eyes, only to find that I was lying in such a mysterious place where the sky and the earth were not connected.
Although she had woken up, her head still hurt so much that it even made her feel like she was dreaming. What did you do before? She couldn't remember it at all. Why are you here? She is equally unknown.
She felt that her body was extremely heavy, as if her whole body was filled with lead, and it was no longer her own. She tried hard to struggle, but then she realized that her body was actually soft, as if there was something cushioning it. Ren Hailuan looked down and was shocked again. It turned out that the object under him was Tang Zhong, the eldest young master of the Tang clan, and she was lying on top of him.
Ren Hailuan still felt like he was dreaming, and then he slapped himself in the mouth with his right hand, but it hurt like a knife. It seemed that it was not a dream at all, but a real reality.
Ren Hailuan shook his head violently, then closed his eyes, trying to recall what had happened before, and finally slowly understood.
She was previously rescued by the Four Ghosts of Western Sichuan. She thought she was out of danger, but unexpectedly she met Taro Kimura on the Iron Chain Bridge. So in order to protect themselves, the Four Ghosts of Western Sichuan started fighting with Kimura Taro. Just when the Four Ghosts were about to be defeated, Tang Zhong suddenly appeared and fought with Kimura Taro on the cliff.
Tang Zhong's martial arts were unpredictable. He had already rescued himself, but unexpectedly his internal strength was so strong that he caused the mountain on the cliff to collapse. Ever since! Tang Zhong, Kimura Taro and themselves fell into the cliff along with the large pile of rocks.
Ren Hailuan finally slowly figured out the cause of the matter, then struggled hard and glanced around, only to realize that he and Tang Zhong were still separated by this steep and unreachable cliff.
The place where they are now is a sunken mountain, but it is also a piece of flat land suspended in mid-air. Ren Hailuan looked up and couldn't see the top of the mountain at all. He didn't know how high it was. Looking further down, the bottom is also an extremely fast and dangerous rapids with many strange rocks. If you go down from here, it is still dozens of feet high. Without falcon-like wings, there is no possibility of going down.
As for her eyes, there were clusters of smoke-like clouds lingering, and they were very close to her, as if she could reach them at her fingertips.
When Ren Hailuan saw this wonderful mountain clouds and mist, she suddenly felt as if she was in a fairyland surrounded by clouds, mountains and mist. Her mind had already flown out of her body, and she couldn't help but pick these "clouds". Just when she took a step, she suddenly felt that one of her legs was hanging in the air, so her nerves tightened, and she immediately came to her senses. Only then did she remember that there was an abyss in front of her, so she hurriedly stepped back.
Ren Hailuan secretly thought, "What a danger." If he had reacted slower, he would have fallen into the deep stream.
"Hey! It seems that I fell unconscious." Ren Hailuan said, then he remembered that Tang Zhong was still unconscious until now, so he leaned over and pushed Tang Zhong's body a few times. Tang Zhong was pushed by her and immediately spit out another mouthful of blood, but he still didn't wake up.
"Oops! When I fell down earlier, Brother Zhong must have been afraid that I would get hurt, so he put his body under me, but I fell directly on top of him, so I only suffered a small injury when I fell here. He was injured, but he was crushed heavily. So, Brother Zhong must have suffered extremely serious internal injuries." Ren Hailuan muttered to himself, not daring to touch Tang Zhong's body easily again, for fear of aggravate his injuries.
Ren Hailuan looked back and saw a cave on the cliff behind him. The entrance of the cave is circular, with three characters "Shadow in the Stream" written above it. The diameter of the entrance is about two people high. The inside of the cave is pitch black and extremely deep, and it is impossible to see clearly what is going on inside.
It was getting late, and Ren Hailuan didn't want to spend the night on this cliff, so he carefully dragged Tang Zhong towards the cave.
Ren Hailuan slowly dragged Tang Zhong to the cave, but found that it was not as invisible as he imagined. There were cracks everywhere else in the cave, allowing some light to penetrate, and it was barely possible to see things inside.
What surprised Ren Hailuan was the situation inside the cave. Because this place doesn't look like a natural cave in the mountains at all, but more like the secluded residence of a certain martial arts senior.
The first thing that surprised Ren Hailuan was the four neatly arranged round stone tables in the cave. There are four stone benches placed around the stone table in up, down, left, and right directions, which are also circular. There are many spare stone benches lined up on both sides of the cave, as if grand gatherings are often held here.
"Is it possible that there are still people living in this place where birds don't poop? It seems that this person's martial arts may be higher than grandpa!" Ren Hailuan found it incredible.
The cave was not as deep as Ren Hailuan imagined, but it was connected in all directions. Ren Hailuan turned around a few times and felt a little confused for a moment. Fortunately, this is not a maze and the path is not very difficult to find. Ren Hailuan turned around a few times, and she discovered something even more surprising. It turned out that there were not only stone tables and benches in the cave, but also several bedrooms. Not only that, there was actually a stone bed in the bedroom, and many animal skins were spread out on the stone bed.
Ren Hailuan hadn't seen the entire cave yet, but he had already discovered six such bedrooms closer to the main cave, and each stone bed was also covered with animal skins. Those animal skins all seemed to belong to the same species. If they were not wolves, they must be wild dogs.
Seeing that there were so many bedrooms here, Ren Hailuan became even more certain that a certain mysterious master definitely lived here. But what Ren Hailuan can't figure out is that even if there are people who can live in this place where the sky and the earth are not connected, such people are very few. There can only be one or two every hundred years, which is considered good, but why does he still want to live there? So many bedrooms in the cave?
"Is it possible that there is not a mysterious master living here, but a group of people?" Ren Hailuan simply did not dare to think any further.
Because after her rough calculation and the fact that she didn't look carefully, there were at least ten bedrooms like this in the cave, and there were a few bedrooms with two stone beds. If two people sleep on a stone table, then even thirty or forty people should be able to stay here. Moreover, the stone tables and benches here weigh hundreds of thousands of kilograms. How much skill does it take to move them here?
In Ren Hailuan's view, there is no such person among all the masters he knows in the world today, including his grandfather Ren Xiaoyao and Tang Zhong who just saved her life.
In this way, the people who live here can really be regarded as the true worldly masters in the world.
Ren Hailuan made a rough inspection and was too lazy to study such a complicated problem. He hurriedly returned to the main cave, then tried his best to lift Tang Zhong up and moved very carefully towards the nearest bedroom.
After much effort, Ren Hailuan finally helped Tang Zhong onto the stone bed, but he was also half exhausted.
"Water! I want water!" Tang Zhong still didn't wake up, but he asked for water in a daze. It seemed that he was really thirsty.
Tang Zhong didn't say it before, and Ren Hailuan didn't feel it either. Now when he heard the word "water" mentioned in Tang Dynasty, Ren Hailuan felt that his mouth was as dry as fire, as if his throat was about to burn.
Ren Hailuan quickly left the bedroom and looked around for water. Then, in the middle of the mountain, where is the water source? Ren Hailuan searched for a long time, but couldn't find a drop of water at all.
"It seems that if you want to get water, you can only go to the mountain stream below. But if your martial arts are so bad, how can you get down there?" Only then did Ren Hailuan regret, why didn't he learn martial arts from his grandfather before?
When the book is used, it will be less regrettable.
Ren Hailuan's regret now has no effect at all and is just adding to his sorrow.
Tick!
When Ren Hailuan was feeling upset, he suddenly seemed to hear the sound of a drop of water. Ren Hailuan was overjoyed and hurried towards the sound, finally finding the source of the sound of water dripping at the end of the cave.
This is a stone chamber next to a cliff, and there is a gap as big as a fist in the stone wall. Not only does sunlight shine through from the outside, but there is also a stream of mountain spring water on the cliff, slowly moving towards the inside of the stone chamber. Come. Although the water flow is small, it is endless. At the bottom of the stone chamber where the spring water flows, there is a stone jar, which just catches the mountain spring water flowing in. At this time, the water in the jar is almost full.
If no one is using it, the water in this stone jar must be full. Now there is only half of the tank with water. Someone must be using the water in this tank frequently.
Ren Hailuan walked into the stone room. When she was worried that there was nothing to get water, she found that the stone room was not as simple as she imagined. It turned out to be a kitchen with complete kitchen utensils.
Not only are there all kinds of pots, bowls, ladles, and basins, but the chopsticks are also more exquisite than those on the market outside. They are covered with crystal white light, as if they are made of some kind of animal bone. As for the stove, it is even more perfect. It is built directly on the protruding part of the stone house. The entire stove is not only flat and solid, but also connected to the wall of the stone house as a whole. Compared with the stoves made of mud and tiles in ordinary homes, it is simply I don’t know how much better it is. The entire stone room is made of marble, and this stove is built on marble. It is equivalent to being entirely made of marble, and there is not even a single gap. It is absolutely perfect. Although Ren Hailuan didn't like cooking very much, when she saw such a perfect kitchen, she couldn't help but want to cook.
In the stone chamber, there were even fire-making objects such as flints and fire sickles, and firewood was piled in a dry place far away from the stone jar, but there was no food. Ren Hailuan originally wanted to make something to eat, but because he couldn't find food, he had to give up regretfully.
