It was getting dark gradually, and apart from the sound of dripping water, there was no sound around. There should have been some poisonous monsters in this deep place. Perhaps because there was an old cliff ape here, these animals disappeared.
The three of them were practicing their qi. Unknowingly, when the time came, Lan Ling'er felt that her inner qi was full, so she stopped her practice and looked up to the canyon. She saw a ray of moonlight shining down from the canyon. She stood up. Through the faint moonlight, I could see not far away, Zhu Yu and Ling Yazi were still sitting cross-legged, with no intention of stopping the exercise. It seemed that Zhu Yu had not yet opened up all the tendons in his body, and the internal strength created by the ape blood had not yet risen. It’s over; and Lingyazi must not have healed his wounds.
Lan Ling'er didn't want to disturb the two of them, so she walked around quietly in the canyon. Now, she was most worried about Lan Tian, Zhao Li and Luo Lin. She was also worried about the safety of several masters of the Qingcheng faction. With such a huge disparity in strength between the two sides In this case, can they get out of trouble?
If they get out of trouble, they will definitely come to the canyon to find the three of them, but why haven't they seen anyone yet? Could it be that they were killed by Situ Yong, Northern Shaolin and Yingzhou Japanese monks? Clearly, this becomes more likely as time goes on.
Suddenly, Lan Ling'er heard someone calling her. Listen carefully, it was Master Wufeng.
Zhu Yu, who was practicing Qi not far away, also heard the voice of Master Wufeng calling him, Lan Ling'er and Ling Yazi. At this time, Zhu Yu just stopped his Qi and was about to get up.
"Zhu Yu, Lan Ling'er, Ling Yazi! If you are still alive, walk fifty feet east along the pond water. There is a cave there. Follow the cave and you can get out of the canyon. I will wait for you at the entrance of the cave." Wu Feng. The master repeated these words over and over again.
Not only did Zhu Yu and Lan Ling'er hear what Master Wufeng said, it was obvious that Ling Yazi also heard it. She opened her eyes, looked around and said, "Brother Zhu Yu, Sister Lan, did you hear someone speaking? "
"I heard it, this is Master Wufeng calling us! Lingyazi, how is your injury?" Lan Ling'er came over and asked.
"I feel nothing in my body now. Thank you for saving me. The strange thing is that I still feel that the energy in my body is full, stronger than every time I practiced before." Lingyazi asked strangely.
"You have to thank this cliff ape. It was the one who pulled us out of the pool. It was also the one who used its own blood to remove your internal injuries. It also allowed you to increase your skill for twenty years."
"Twenty years of skill, which means that if I continue to practice like this, I will have to be forty years old to have my current skill?" Hearing Zhu Yu say this, Ling Yazi became excited, but after a moment, she lowered her head and remained silent. language.
"Lingyazi, are you worried about the safety of your senior brothers and sisters?" Lan Ling'er asked with concern when she saw the sudden change in Lingyazi's expression.
"Yes, there are also your brother and two senior brothers. I don't know whether they are dead or alive." Lingyazi said slowly.
"We buried our benefactor first, this Yayuan, copied the Yi Jing, and then followed the path pointed by Master Wufeng. Don't keep the old man waiting."
"Yes, let's act quickly. We will know the result when we see Master Wufeng." Lan Ling'er walked towards Ya Yuan's body.
The three of them quickly buried the Yayuan, and then managed to light a few sticks of firewood. Using charcoal as a pen and lighting with the firewood, they wrote the I Ching on the stone wall on a piece of cloth torn from Lan Ling'er's clothes. Zhu Yu He solemnly folded the written Book of Changes and kicked it into his arms. "I will first read this sutra and try to practice the martial arts above. Once I have mastered it, I will teach it to you."
When everything was ready, the three of them started to use burning sticks to light up the situation and walked forward in the direction of the water flow. Before leaving, Lingyazi did not forget to run to Lao Yayuan's grave and kowtow three times, and then hurriedly caught up with him. Zhu Yu and Lan Linger.
The three of them followed the current and walked east for fifty feet, and sure enough they found a cave on the cliff. The entrance was not big, only about ten feet square, but the cave was very wide.
It was estimated that it would take a long time to get out of the cave, so Lan Ling'er retreated outside the cave and found some firewood washed down from the mountain. Ling Yazi gave Lan Ling'er a few sticks to carry, Zhu Yu carried the burning sticks, and the three of them He groped his way deeper into the cave.
The cave rises in a spiral with a very steep slope. However, after years of rain erosion, the cave is relatively flat, but some places are narrow and difficult to walk.
Perhaps because they were worried about the safety of others, the three of them felt very heavy, so no one spoke during the whole journey.
"Are you three still alive?... If you haven't reached the entrance of the cave within an hour, I will go back to the mountain first... and I will come to find you in the canyon tomorrow." Suddenly, Master Wufeng sent a message from a thousand miles away. The sound reached the ears of three people.
"Master Wufeng, we heard you talking before. We are in the cave now and will be able to get out of the cave soon. Can you hear it?" Zhu Yu tried to shout towards the exit.
"I can hear you, don't be anxious, be careful not to get hurt." After a moment, Master Wufeng's voice came from above the cave.
"Master Wufeng, do you know how my brother and the others are doing?" Lan Ling'er is most concerned about the safety of her own brother.
"They are all fine. I have sent them up the mountain to the sect." Hearing Master Wufeng's answer, the three of them let out a long sigh of relief.
After another half an hour, the three of them finally walked out of the cave entrance. Outside the cave, everything was silent. The moonlight hanging in the west brought the last ray of light, illuminating the surroundings brightly. The entrance of the cave was a trumpet mouth more than ten feet wide. The mouth of the trumpet is bare, with only jagged rocks and solid earth.
"I thought the three of you had already reported to the Lord of Hell, but I didn't expect that you are still alive." Seeing the three of them walking out of the cave, Master Wufeng jumped down from the top of a boulder and stood there to greet the three of them.
"Master Wufeng, please tell us first, how did my brother Lan Tian and several masters of the Qingcheng Sect escape from trouble?" Seeing Master Wufeng, Lan Ling'er asked anxiously.
"Speaking of which, Lan Tian and Ling Shanzi are both people with high auspicious stars. You know, their opponent Yuan Ying can compete with me, Wu Feng, and his martial arts is also top-notch. And those three Japanese monks, if they work together, Even if I start fighting, I may not be able to defeat them." Yes, this is what we worry about.
"Almost when you were knocked off the cliff, my younger brother Wuxin and Master Zhizhe arrived at Dishui Cave. Yuan Ying saw Master Zhizhe and fled down Wudang Mountain with Zhu Fake, Zhu Foke and Zhu Sengke. "
"What happened next? Those Japanese monks must have suffered at the hands of the two masters." Lan Ling'er felt much more relaxed when Master Wufeng said this.
"Yes, these Japanese monks are ignorant. They think they have learned a few sword skills, and they are collaborating with the Northern Shaolin. They have a large number of people and never take the Central Plains martial arts in their eyes. This time, they were defeated by the wise master. Taught him a lesson." After Wufeng finished speaking, he waved and said, "Let's talk while walking! Almost all the factions have arrived, and we need to strengthen the precautions on the mountain. We don't want to stay here for too long."
"My mother and the others are also here?" Yes, they arrived last night, and it is said that the journey was smooth.
"Master Wufeng, you should first tell me how those Japanese monks got into the path of Master Wise Man?" Lingyazi's curiosity is not much weaker than Lan Linger's.
"When I got to the mountain, I heard from the disciples of the sect who had escaped the disaster. They found that since Wudang suffered a disaster and the Sun God Sect left, there are often people of unknown origin wandering around the mountain. So, I am not worried. I came down the mountain again to welcome you up the mountain. By chance, I happened to see the wise master from a distance with dozens of Japanese monks. I saw that after he struck a palm, more than ten Japanese monks were killed and injured, so I had to join Situ Yong. Carrying the dead and wounded on his back, he went down the mountain in embarrassment."
"What happened next?" Lan Ling'er was like a child listening to stories around her parents, not giving up until she knew the outcome.
"Later, I learned that you were knocked off the cliff, so I guessed that you would probably be rescued by the old Yayuan. Then you would drink Yayuan's blood and practice Qi for eight hours. After recovering your strength, you would find a way out of the abyss." Wu Feng. What the master said was consistent with the three people's previous experiences, and the three people couldn't help but be surprised.
"Master Wufeng, how can you be so accurate?" Lan Ling'er asked in surprise.
"I have gone down to this cliff many times with masters Wu Xin and Wu Si in order to practice the I Ching on the cliff. But I don't know whether it was due to bad luck or because I just didn't know anything about it. I always couldn't practice well, and then I gave up. , However, during this process, I observed Lao Yayuan and found that he was extremely smart, as if he was waiting there for the right person. I think the three of you are the right person."
Listening to Master Wufeng's analysis, the three of them were amazed. They did not expect that such a strange thing would happen to them for the first time in Wudang.
