57.can't get out of here

In the overcast sky, the storm has been raging for a whole night, but there is still no sign of stopping. The wind and rain are heavy, and the waves are still storming the herring island standing in the sea silently and patiently.

However, Wang Gen was decisive and determined. Under this seemingly calm appearance, the whole Green Fish Island has been turned upside down. Lingxiao Sect disciples are everywhere searching for people. They fly into the water against the wind and rain. There is also a lot of noise in front of the new cave in White Fish Bay. Stone gates of the cave are called open. The stern looking senior brothers also braved the wind and rain to carefully check and point out the number of people.

At the same time, at the bottom of a remote, narrow and deep sinkhole, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu finally had to face a desperate situation that might be impossible to get rid of after their initial excitement.

This road is obviously in the wrong direction.

Before, in the dark of the cave, the two people crawled all the way and even saw the fluorescein tunnel behind them. They walked all the way. Although the terrain was uneven and pitted, there was no other fork in the cave. Basically, they walked all the way, and when they were here, it was obvious that they had chosen the wrong direction at first.

The cliff is more than one hundred zhang high, towering into the sky, and the cliff is smooth and steep. In their current situation, they have no morality. After all, they are just new disciples who have just started to practice, and they can't escape from here anyway. At the bottom of the sinkhole, by the dark light of the sky, we can see that it is about ten feet around. Except for a pool in the front, which occupies about half of the place, there are hard stone walls around it, that is, a cave behind them. In addition, there is no other exit.

Looking at the scene in front of us, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu could not say a word for a long time, and their faces were pale. Just now, because they saw the excitement and strength of hope that they would be saved, they quickly dissipated from their bodies like frustrated balls.

Tiredness and pain, just like the darkness in the deep cave, screamed from every corner of the body and swarmed in, leaving them unable to support.

Zhong Qingzhu could not support her at first. She slowly sat down on the ground against the stone wall, with Beichi biting her lips tightly, and her face was no longer bloody. Shen Shi looks a little better, but his face is also very ugly. No matter who is facing the desperate situation, it is difficult to keep calm. What's more, he is only a teenager after all.

After a while, he also slowly sat down beside Zhong Qingzhu, bowed his head and did not speak.

Zhong Qingzhu looked at him pale and whispered, "Stone, what can we do?"

Shen Shi slowly looked up at the towering cliffs around him, shook his head and said, "I can't get out of here."

Zhong Qingzhu gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go back?"

Shen Shi looked at her and said nothing. After Zhong Qingzhu asked this question, he smiled and said nothing more.

Both of them survived in the deep cave. They were injured in many places. Although they were not fatal, they were not easy to feel together. Zhong Qingzhu's left hand was broken. Under such circumstances, the two people support each other, grope hard in the dark, crawl in the puddles for a long distance, and stick to this place. It is really a miracle beyond their age. It is difficult to say whether they can walk out even if they do it again, or if they are alone in the dark.

But if we turn back at this moment, will we be able to walk back to the previous entrance in the other direction? Without saying, will there be danger and poisonous insects and monsters in that deep, terrible and completely dark cave? There is no fork in this way, and when we go in that direction, there must be no fork in the cave?

What's more, they both struggled to get here with almost all their strength, and walked back again. Can they go back to the middle of the cave where they woke up, not to mention how many long corridors need to be crawled in the dark front? Can they really sustain themselves?

No one is a fool, at least Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu are not. Even though they are young, how can they think of the dangerous joint?

If you don't leave, you will probably die here; It is almost certain that you will die in the dark and terrible cave when you venture back.

The two of them were faced with such desperation.

Shen Shi leans against the stone wall and looks at the sky blankly. The mountain pass, which is closed by the cliff and only shows a small area, is still covered with clouds and the wind and rain are still blowing. But because the mountain wall blocks them, the originally raging wind and rain at the bottom of the sinkhole is much calmer, turning into a leisurely rain, slowly falling down, and wetting their hair and clothes, but whether Shen Shi or Zhong Qingzhu, At this time, I have no strength to pay attention to this rain.

There is a quiet place under the Tiankeng, perhaps because there is a pool here. The stone wall at the bottom looks very wet, and moss can be seen everywhere. The raindrops falling from the sky are swirling and falling in the clear pool, rippling and interlacing with the silent sadness of drizzle.

After a long time, Shen Shi suddenly said, "Do you want to go back again?"

Zhong Qingzhu leans against the stone wall with her back, and seems to feel a little cold. She can't help but approach Shen Shi. When the two people lean on each other's shoulders, she seems to feel a little relieved, and her face is also relaxed. After hearing Shen Shi's question, Zhong Qingzhu sighed softly and said, "If we turn around, can we go out?"

Shen Shi was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know."

I don't know. Of course, I'm not sure. Looking at his face, I know that even Shen Shi is pessimistic about the way back. Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and said, "If I must die, I would rather die here than go back to the end."

Shen Shi didn't say anything more, but he just leaned against the stone wall. At the same time, he felt the light warmth and inexplicable fragrance of Zhong Qingzhu's shoulder, and suddenly felt better.

Then he thought of something, and suddenly he moved. Zhong Qingzhu soon noticed his abnormality and turned to ask, "What's wrong?"

Shen Shi seemed hesitant. After a wry smile, he said, "I suddenly remembered the thing I wanted to ask you before and forgot."

Zhong Qingzhu said, "What is it?"

Shen Shi took a breath and said, "Didn't you mention Lingjing as a meal? I wanted to ask you at that time, do you have Lingjing with you now?"

Zhong Qingzhu looked a little brighter. Both of them were newcomers to the cultivation of Taoism. As long as they had a Holy Crystal on their body, they could recover their physical strength once they started the cultivation. Even if they were trapped here, with the Holy Crystal's Holy Power supplement, they would not be afraid of starving to death. After all, they had just started the cultivation, and the Holy Power required was extremely small, even if only one Holy Crystal could support them for several days.

With this period of time, maybe we will wait until the rescuers arrive!

As soon as Zhong Qingzhu thought about this, he immediately became happy, and his eyes took a few moments. He said, "I and I didn't bring Lingjing when we went out to pick up shellfish. Did you bring it?"

Shen Shi put his hand on his forehead and said with a wry smile, "I'm also afraid that if I lose it with me, it will delay my cultivation. So I also put the Lingjing in the cave to go back to practice at night."

Zhong Qingzhu was speechless. After a long time, he finally dropped his head in disappointment. Shen Shi was also silent. Looking up at the storm, he felt that all the roads had come to an end and there was no way to live. He could not help sighing.

Under the cliff, the wind is not strong and the rain is falling.

The moss is dark green, the pool is quiet, and there are a few weeds near the water, surrounded by three or two wild flowers. In this deep and deserted valley, there is a light spring feeling alone.

After sitting for a long time, my fatigue finally seems to subside, and I can barely recover my spirit. After the initial despairing attack, Shen Shi managed to perk up his spirits. With one tenth of the luck, he circled around the bottom of the sinkhole and carefully examined it, hoping to find some ways to leave.

But in the end, the stone wall was dense, and finally all his hopes were cut off.

Standing at the edge of the pool, he slowly turned back. At the cave entrance, Zhong Qingzhu also stood up on the wall, looking up at him.

Confronting Zhong Qingzhu's eyes, Shen Shi just shook his head slowly, and Zhong Qingzhu's face flashed a hint of disappointment. But it was obvious that this was the result that he had expected for a long time, and there was no big reaction. He just walked slowly.

The rain fell on her sideburns, and her face became more and more pale.

Shen Shi frowned and said, "Your hand is still hurt. You'd better go back to the rain free place in the cave to have a rest."

Zhong Qingzhu's eyes fell on the pool beside them, looked at the clear water, and said softly, "What can we do if we have a rest

Shen Shi is silent.

Zhong Qingzhu looked back at him with a soft look. After a moment, she said, "Stone, why don't you go into the cave and come out later?"

Shen Shi frowned and said, "I'm fine. I don't need to go to shelter from the rain."

Zhong Qingzhu suddenly seemed to have a faint blush on her pale cheek. Even in this desperate situation, she still felt a little ashamed, but she seemed unwilling to blame the boy in front of her. She just said softly, "If I must die here, I want to die more cleanly. I've been crawling in the water all the way, and my body is dirty. I want to wash it in the water..."

Shen Shi stayed for a moment before he realized that Zhong Qingzhu wanted to wash his body in this pool before he died. For a moment, he felt extremely embarrassed. At the same time, he felt a sense of sadness. He took a deep look at Zhong Qingzhu, nodded, and said, "I know. I will go there now. Call me when you have washed, and I will come out."

Zhong Qingzhu blushed, nodded and answered in a low voice, but said nothing.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind her, Zhong Qingzhu felt that her face was burning with fever. Looking at the clear pool in front of her, she seemed to be crazy for a moment. After a moment, she gently sighed, raised her uninjured right hand, extended it to her chest, slowly unbuttoned the first button, and then extended her hand to unbutton the second one.

Suddenly, just at this moment, Shen Shi suddenly shouted after her:

"Alas!"

When the footsteps sounded, it was Shen Shi who ran quickly from behind. Zhong Qingzhu was shocked. She blushed and covered her chest subconsciously. Although only one button was unfastened, she didn't show her skin, but at that moment, she felt like a small deer bumping in her heart. At the same time, she also felt a little angry and embarrassed. She turned back to Shen Shizhu and stared at him. She thought to herself that the villain had some strange ideas?
