I smiled, weighed the frighteningly heavy black iron plate in my hand, and said.
"Old Cao, your confidence in my master is greater than that of my apprentice!"
He looked at me with a smile.
"What? Don't you have confidence in your master, Xiao Wu?"
I shrugged.
"That's not true...it's just that the master's past and strength have always been mysterious. I, the disciple, don't know anything about it. If you don't tell me, how do I know how powerful she is?"
Madoka, that fat bird, seemed to have regained a little energy, fluttering its wings and landing on my shoulder again, chirping.
"Anyway, your master is a female devil! It's so scary. When I hit Master Bird on the head, he hit me harder than you. It's so cruel!"
Both Lao Cao and I couldn't help laughing.
After getting this mysterious black iron plate from the "Yellow Spring Pool", we should have basically unearthed half of the "secret" in the back hill of Lianghe District Middle School!
But I still have some worries - that is, the existence of this "underground yellow spring" will still slowly corrode and destroy the auspicious Feng Shui pattern of Lianghe District Middle School [Three Stars with the Moon].
Although as Lao Cao said, this is probably not the main purpose of the evil cultivator who caused trouble here, but it will still affect Lianghe District Middle School as a "side effect".
If this "eight evil spirits" Feng Shui pattern is allowed to continue to exist, it can take as short as seven or eight years, or as long as more than ten years... the excellent Feng Shui of Lianghe District Middle School will slowly decay and be destroyed, and eventually it will become a small school. An ordinary junior high school in town!
By then, it is estimated that the results will not be comparable to schools in other towns, let alone those in the county.
I have been studying at Lianghe District Middle School for two years. I am actually very emotional and do not want to see such a thing happen.
The considerate Lao Cao seemed to have noticed my concerns...
He patted my shoulder and said softly.
"Xiao Wu, don't think too much. Now we can't even protect ourselves, let alone destroy the Feng Shui pattern of the Eight Evils and Yellow Springs here."
I nodded, indicating that of course I understood.
Lao Cao continued.
"But, as you said before, the art of Feng Shui, especially the Feng Shui pattern that involves large-scale borrowing of mountains and terrain, takes time to work, no matter it is good or bad. Even if it destroys the three stars accompanying the moon, It must take several years, right?"
"You are the most talented young man I have ever seen. It has only been just two years since you officially embarked on the path of spiritual practice, and you have already reached your current situation. You can even compete with me, an old man in the world!"
"In a few years, your cultivation will be higher. Then we can solve the feng shui situation of the Eight Evils. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? So now, we'd better concentrate on thinking about how to get out of here safely and alive."
Lao Cao's comfort and persuasion made me let go of my worries and relax.
So, he put the strange black iron plate in his hand into his backpack and put it away. Then he cheered up again and looked for a way out with Lao Cao Xiaoyuan...
But the three of us searched around and finally determined that this underground cave was completely sealed!
The raging yellow underground river is the only way out!
That is, if we want to get out. Just like before, you have to take the initiative to enter the main channel of the underground river, and follow the flowing water all the way forward - trying to merge into the Sichuan River.
There is only a glimmer of hope!
But now my talisman paper has been completely wet, and there is no way to draw the [Breathing Talisman] anymore.
If there were no spells to increase the underwater survival time, the danger would definitely increase greatly!
I raised my hand and slapped Xiao Yuan on the head and asked.
"Big Fat Bird, do you know any magic that can make people breathe underwater or extend their survival time?"
"No! And boy Wu, I've warned you again, don't hit me on the head again."
Madoka glared at me.
I pursed my lips.
"You can't do it... Miss Bai Su can do it. It would be great if she were here."
At this moment, I miss Bai Su's magic that can create a bubble and envelop people in it.
It seems that without my [Breaking Talisman], the situation in front of me seems to be unsolvable...
It’s really just a matter of trying your luck!
Lao Cao seemed very calm.
"Xiao Wu, don't think about it. Anyway, this is the only way out, there is no other choice. For people in the Xuanmen Jianghu, it is common to sometimes try their luck between life and death. Now that we have embarked on On this road, remember to be mentally prepared to face such dangers at any time.”
His eyes looked at me, gentle and wise.
I was stunned.
Then he also laughed.
"You're right! Since you have chosen this path, the difference between life and death is normal. Why worry about it anymore? Okay! Let's just hold our breath this time and try to rush into the Sichuan River in one breath. But to be honest, I actually I'm more worried about you and Xiao Yuan, Lao Cao."
For me, the practice of internal boxing will greatly improve various physical qualities - naturally including lung capacity!
For those great masters of Huajin in history, their heartbeat and pulse speed would become extremely slow, and their lung capacity would be very strong. He can even hold his breath once and not breathe for ten minutes - it is simply more powerful than using an ordinary basic [Breathing Talisman].
I am still one step away from the peak of Ming Jin... I have not reached the level of Dark Jin, and the realm of Transformation Jin is as far away as a fantasy to me.
Of course, even so, I am much better than Lao Cao and Xiao Yuan.
"Oh, Mr. Wu, don't worry about me and Old Man Cao. It will definitely be fine! I am a super lucky star. Maybe we are already on the edge of the Sichuan River now. Just rush a few dozen meters ahead. , just like the Chuanjiang River."
Madoka, this fat bird, always has a kind of honey confidence and incomparable optimism.
"Okay! Then let's get ready to go there."
I stopped nagging and walked together toward the main channel of the turbid earth-yellow underground river that was still flowing ahead...
This time, life or death depends on fate!
"Are you ready?"
call!
I took a deep breath and tried to store as much air as possible in my lungs so that I could last longer.
Then, the three of us jumped into the rolling underground river together.
Suddenly, the soundless silence and darkness enveloped me again!
Although the underground river is rushing with rapids and sounds roaring outside. But the transmission of sound requires a medium, so we can’t hear it with our ears and can’t see it with our eyes in the water...
I can only feel my body moving forward with the current. From time to time, you will encounter a few whirlpools, be swept up, and then be thrown out by strong centrifugal force...
This feeling is really uncomfortable!
This time, I don’t know how long it took.
I felt like I was about to reach the limit of my breath-holding, and suddenly everything around me suddenly became empty - it was a very strange, indescribable feeling of emptiness.
The water flow also immediately slowed down.
I knew we had succeeded!
We were successfully rushed from the underground river into the Sichuan River...
