early morning.
The sun rises.
On the lake, the mist is thick and the waves are faint.
In the huge cave, two young people sat quietly on the shore of the lake.
Yu Ye had changed into a blue gown and combed his hair into a bun. He looked clean and fresh, but his face looked a little tired. He put his hands on his knees and rested his chin, silently looking at the endless lake.
The Angelica dahurica beside him was protected by true energy. Not only was it unscathed, but even its clothes were not stained by a drop of water. At this time, she was holding her chin in one hand and holding the ends of her hair in the other. She was also silent, with a hazy light shining in her eyes.
No matter how much the arguments are fought, the dilemma remains.
After daybreak, Bu Yi did not show up. Maybe he had given up the pursuit, or maybe he was on the way to pursue him. However, he had no idea where the cave and lake here were located, and what the dangers were.
Another thing is that Yu Ye's cultivation has been exhausted, and the armor-breaking talisman he relied on to escape is gone. Now he is no match for any monk, and he has no strength to swim out of this big lake.
"Let's go!"
After a long silence, Yu Ye spoke up.
"Why don't you leave with me?"
Bai Zhi asked softly.
"I don't want to be a burden!"
Yu Ye smiled.
He doesn't like to drag others down, and is even more afraid of being manipulated.
A hand reached out and patted his arm gently, as if to comfort him, but suddenly grabbed his wrist vein like lightning.
Yu Ye raised his eyebrows and raised his head.
A beautiful face came close to his eyes, staring at him closely. But he still sat still, not hiding or evading, making no sound, and his face was calm. He seemed to still be that simple young man, without any scheming and harmless to others, but there was a faint yet palpitating black energy between his eyebrows.
Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment and let go of her hand.
She sighed with relief and said: "Oh, I thought you were lying to me, but I didn't expect that you really exhausted your cultivation!"
At that moment, as long as she wanted to, she believed that she could easily kill Yu Ye, or see clearly every meridian in his body and all the secrets in his Qi sea. However, she finally let go of her hand, even her spiritual consciousness did not go beyond it.
"To be honest, my master left me three amulets before his death. They are the sword talisman and two Xuanwu talismans that she has treasured for many years. Now I only have one Xuanwu talisman left on my body. It is difficult to protect myself. How can I deal with divination?" As for Yi, in that case..."
Bai Zhi's expression was a little tangled, and she was a little more worried when she spoke. She considered and said: "When I go out to find out the way out, it can take three days or five days, and I will definitely come back to pick you up. If I don't come back overdue, , you go to the woods outside Lingjiao Valley to retrieve your mount, and then go to the Tianzi B guest room of Feilong Inn in Lingjiao Town to wait for me for seven days. If you still can't wait to see me, you don't have to wait. Nine times out of ten, I will Something unexpected has happened!"
Yu Ye nodded.
This is the eldest lady of the Bai family. This is the first time I have seen her speak so patiently and explain everything in detail.
Bai Zhi clapped her hands and stood up.
Yu Ye stood up and had an extra package in his hand.
Bai Zhi took the package and said in surprise: "You picked up my package?"
She was busy running for her life, so she threw the package away without wanting to return it, which surprised her.
Yu Ye took out a storage ring and a flying sword.
"Sent to me?"
Bai Zhi's eyes flashed with a smile, and she reached out to grab the gift ring and the flying sword. She couldn't help but said with joy: "The flying sword, the jade slip of the martial arts, the Lihuo Talisman, the Dragon Subduing Talisman, and three spiritual stones..."
"You help me kill the masters in Qizhou, and according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, each person will get half of the proceeds!"
Yu Ye said this with some regret: "The wild wolves were ferocious last night and the situation was critical. Although one person was killed, nothing was caught."
"puff--"
Bai Zhi laughed out loud, her beautiful face even more charming. Her smile did not diminish, but she pretended to be angry and said: "You are greedy and have no idea how precious the spiritual stones are. With these three spiritual stones, I can improve my cultivation by one level!" She played with the flying sword for a moment, and then The package was put into the storage ring together, and he put the ring on his finger, his face full of joy.
Perhaps because her true nature was revealed, she seemed more real at this time.
Yu Ye seemed to be teasing him and asked casually: "As a direct disciple of Xuanhuang Mountain, shouldn't your master give you a gift ring?"
"Well, what you said makes sense!"
Bai Zhi smiled noncommittally, took a few steps back, and waved her hand: "Be more careful here and wait until Senior Sister comes back to explore the way for you!"
She turned around gracefully, leaped into the water, and disappeared into the mist-covered lake light as easily as a fish.
Yu Ye stood alone on the shore.
The misty skylight and the fog-covered lake surface were just like his mood at this time, which was uncertain and dark.
He couldn't forget every time Bai Zhi quarreled, and he couldn't forget her sweet smile when she left.
Of course, I can't forget the look in her eyes when she grasped her veins. In a daze, she returned to the cliff cave in Xuanhuang Mountain. She was still the unpredictable, cold and ruthless Taoist disciple, and he was still a stupid boy who allowed himself to be manipulated.
However, her expedition this time was extremely dangerous...
Yu Ye shook his head and turned around.
In the huge cave, there are still rapid waterfalls, roaring waves, surging lake water, and rising mist. It was unnerving to be in such an empty and turbulent place.
The dilemma is still there, good or bad is uncertain, and we can't wait for Bu Yi to catch up.
Where should we hide?
More than ten feet away, the lake is connected to the stone wall of the cave. There seems to be a hole under the stone wall, but I don't know where it leads.
Yu Ye took off his clothes and boots and put them into the iron hoop, then jumped into the water naked. He held his breath and swam past the entrance of the cave. There was still no end in sight for about ten feet. He was about to return when he suddenly saw a faint light flashing in front of him. He swam hurriedly and his head finally surfaced.
"puff--"
Yu Ye shook his head and wiped away the water stains on his face.
It is a closed cave. There is an entrance below that is connected to the cave outside, but it is submerged in the lake, making it extremely secretive.
Yu Ye grabbed the stone and jumped up, already in the cave.
The place that is several feet in radius is uneven. There is a crack in the stone on the top of the cave, from which a ray of skylight shines.
Yu Ye found a flat place, put on his clothes and boots, and then sat down cross-legged, his anxious mind gradually calming down.
If Bu Yi can find this place, it can only be said that he is unlucky. He really had nowhere to go and this was his only hiding place. But it is a blessing, not a disaster, but a disaster that cannot be avoided. Before that, you might as well hurry up and practice, restore your cultivation, and save some capital for your hard work!
Yu Ye raised his hand and waved, and there was a spiritual stone, a jade slip and a talisman in front of him.
Running around all day long, he could only find time to practice on the way, often absorbing spiritual stones and studying Kung Fu books at the same time. Over time, I gradually developed the habit of multitasking.
Inside the jade slip is the "Forbidden Technique" left by Qiu Bo. The talisman is the dragon subduing talisman. Two Dragon Subduing Talismans were seized the day before yesterday, one of which was given to Bai Zhi. He didn't hide anything from her, and it wasn't easy to miss her alone. The remaining Dragon Subduing Talisman is reserved for reference.
The power of the Dragon Subduing Talisman made him fearful. The technique of trapping and confinement seems to be similar to the "Tianjin Technique". If you can learn a thing or two from it, it should be of great benefit to the practice of "Heavenly Forbidden Technique".
Yu Ye gathered his thoughts, picked up the spirit stone and pressed it into his palm. A wisp of pure spiritual energy poured into the palm of the hand, and then flowed along the meridians to the limbs and Dantian Qi sea. He reached out and picked up the jade slip again, slowly closing his eyes...
"Snapped--"
The spiritual stone in his palm shattered softly.
If people lose their vitality, they will decay. The same is true for vegetation and creatures. Just like this spiritual stone that has exhausted its spiritual energy, it will eventually lose its brilliance and shatter into dust.
Yu Ye opened his eyes from sitting quietly and let out a long breath.
At this time, the Qi in the body is full.
Cultivation has been restored to its original state.
How many days have passed?
Previously, it took five days to absorb a spiritual stone. In other words, he has been practicing here for five days. But he didn't see Bu Yi chasing him. Could it be that he had escaped this disaster?
Yu Ye dropped the spirit stone fragments in his left hand and turned to look at the jade slip in his right hand.
After pondering for five days, I have no clue about the "Heavenly Forbidden Technique". The seven methods of trapping, confinement, confusion, gods, ghosts, refining, and killing are too advanced. Without some hard work or opportunity, it is difficult to understand the mystery.
And before I knew it, five days had passed. If Bai Zhi comes back and can't find anyone, she will be anxious!
Yu Ye looked up.
A ray of skylight shines on the puddle next to it, and the water in the puddle is clear and waveless.
Without further delay, Yu Ye put away the jade slips and talismans and jumped into the lake.
The moment he entered the water, a layer of cyan light emerged from his body. As he moved his hands and feet, he was like a dragon in the abyss, just waiting to soar into the sky.
In the blink of an eye, we were back the way we came.
Huge cave, everything is just like yesterday. Looking around, he saw Bu Yi chasing after him, and Bai Zhi was nowhere to be seen.
Hey, could it be that when she returned to this place, she couldn't find herself and went somewhere else?
Yu Ye wandered in place.
I remember Bai Zhi said before leaving that she would definitely return in three days or five days at most. It has been five days now and she has not shown up. Maybe something has delayed her and she needs to wait another half day?
Yu Ye wanted to leave, but was afraid that Bai Zhi would come looking for him.
He simply sat on the shore and continued to wait. While waiting, I was thinking about "The Forbidden Technique". But once you focus on training, you forget about time. When he recovered from the obscure formulas and thousands of sets of talismans, the huge cave and the vast lake were already shrouded in twilight.
Another night, another day.
Bai Zhi also said that if she didn't come back overdue, she would go to the inn in Lingjiao Town to meet her. As long as she was safe and sound, that was all. But he was afraid that something bad might happen to her, otherwise he would have a troubled conscience for the rest of his life!
Yu Ye couldn't help but feel worried.
He walked to the lake and jumped into the water, paddling hard with his hands and feet. Above the lake, a wave of water suddenly split. With Zhen Qi protecting his body, he was able to castrate extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already a hundred feet away.
Looking back, the sky is dim, the peaks are towering, the lake is filled with smoke, and the waves are undulating.
Where the mountains and peaks are located must be Lingjiao Valley. On the contrary, it should be the direction away from Lingjiao Valley.
Yu Ye turned around and walked forward, heading straight into the vast depths...
