According to Imukai's original statement, if Lu Jing and Xia Huai wanted to return to the other side of the cave, they would have to wait until the sun rose the next day at the earliest.
However, there is still quite some time before sunrise.
Lu Jing was simply treating a dead horse as a living horse, because with the death of the old man with white hair and white beard, he could feel that this place would not last long, let alone dawn, even half a cup of tea would be lost. Can't hold on.
So instead of hiding away, he pulled Xia Huai and jumped into the crumbling cave.
As for drinking it and falling into the mortal world, it was just in case.
Because Imukai once said that the time ratio between this place and the outside is about one to one hundred, that is, if he stays here for one day, one hundred days will pass outside.
But Lu Jing didn't know how the mechanism worked.
When he returns outside the cave, will it be his lifespan that has changed, or the internal energy in his Dantian that will also be refreshed crazily.
If it was the former, Lu Jing certainly didn't need to worry much, but if the latter was the case, he would be in big trouble.
Because although he stayed on the other side of the cave for less than five hours, in the real world, it was nearly forty days.
And this also means that the total amount of internal force in his body will reach forty times that of his Dantian at the moment he comes out of the hole.
This is far beyond the lethal dose!
Theoretically, even if he drank all the contents in the gourd and fell into the mortal world, he would only be talking about human affairs.
But now Lu Jing has no choice but to take this gamble.
With a rumble of falling rocks, the entrance to the cave was completely sealed by rubble!
The eyes of Lu Jing and Xia Huai also fell into darkness at this moment.
Lu Jing could hear the breathing of the girl next to him gradually becoming more rapid.
After all, no one knew whether the two of them would be trapped forever in the dark heart of the mountain as the cave collapsed.
But perhaps because of the warmth coming from the other side of his palm, Xia Huai's heartbeat gradually slowed down.
In the end, their hands touched each other, their fingers intertwined, and they held each other tightly.
A strange emotion arose in the girl's heart. She felt the ups and downs of breathing coming from around her, but even the fact that she was in danger was forgotten by her.
Xia Huai suddenly felt that even if the two of them were buried here today, it would not be as bad as imagined.
If someone accidentally finds their bodies in future generations, they may be mistaken for a pair of miserable mandarin ducks who died in love.
And for some reason, Xia Huai had a faint expectation for this result.
Thinking of this, the tension in the girl's heart has subsided a lot, even though the surrounding lands are still falling apart.
Lu Jing was a little surprised and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Xia Huai shook his head and did not immediately answer Lu Jing's question, but turned around and talked about another matter.
"You know, actually, I didn't tell you the complete truth about my brother before. His death also had a lot to do with me...
"The grandma who took care of him asked me to keep an eye on him when she went to relieve herself. Although I agreed, I was obsessed with the chivalrous painting book at that time and didn't listen to the grandma's words.
"After grandma left, the picture book in my hand happened to be finished, so I told him to let him play by himself for a while. I went to dad's study to get a new picture book and came back. I asked him not to tell Mammy.
"He nodded obediently, but he didn't expect that he fell into the well shortly after I walked away with my front feet. For several months after his death, I would have nightmares every night when I closed my eyes.
"I dreamed that he appeared in front of me all wet and asked me why I left at that time...
"Although my parents and my grandma did not blame me afterwards, but took the initiative to enlighten me. They told me that the deceased was gone and the remaining people should live well, but this made me feel even more uncomfortable.
"I would rather they loudly accuse and curse me. I even hope that the person who fell into the well was me instead of him. I am willing to use everything I have in exchange for a chance that he is still alive in the world.
"So when he appeared in front of me again, I did think about staying here, because this is what I owe him...
"I have even chosen our future residence in the village with him. However, when I saw the fire in the mulberry forest and thought that you might be in danger, I... almost without hesitation, I started to rush there. .
"But at this time, my brother burst into tears and asked me if I was going to abandon him again. It was at that moment that I suddenly understood that I had actually lost him forever. It was in that afternoon, at that moment …
"No matter what I do after this, I can't really change what happened. I stay here not because I love him, but just to make up for my guilt for him. It's... another kind of selfishness.
"And if I abandon you again because of him, it will be like repeating what happened many years ago. Then I have not made any progress in the past ten years. I will not let that happen."
Lu Jing did not expect that the girl would tell him all the secrets hidden in her heart. In fact, he could understand why those who had entered the otherworld were unwilling to tell others what they experienced inside.
Because except for people with bugs like him, it must be the most fragile and soft place in everyone's heart. It is a place that cannot be easily shown to others, just like the belly of a hedgehog.
The only place not protected by spikes.
And Lu Jing didn't know until this moment that the girl had experienced such a fierce battle before finding him, which was no less fierce than when he faced Gu Zhongling. Although from Xia Huai's mouth now, it was only a few. sentence.
However, Lu Jing knew that the reality was not as light as Xia Huai said, especially when the girl had to choose between her brother and saving him. This process must have been full of pain for her.
Xia Huai said so many words in one breath, and her courage gradually grew. She didn't know if it was the darkness around her and the imminent threat of death that gave her courage.
After a pause, she continued, "You asked me why I wasn't afraid. It was because..."
Just in the middle of her words, the light suddenly returned to her eyes, and then Xia Huai found that she and Lu Jing were in the school building of Huang Prison again.
The latter was staring at them with an unprecedented serious expression.
Normally, the expression on the prison guard's face is enough to make the students of the academy on tenterhooks, but this time, his Chinese-character face was almost written with the words "You are causing big trouble."
Looking at it, Xia Huai couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, and then he heard Huang Supervisor speak.
"You two...can anyone tell me why Biyoudongtian disappeared?!"
