Chapter 62:

Chapter 61 Lucky
Under the cliff tiankeng, on the shore of a clear and secluded pool.
Shen Shi stared at Zhong Qingzhu who was still standing in the water, looked at it several times from top to bottom, and said, "Don't you really know how to swim before?"
Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and asked, "Then I can swim like this, stone?"
Shen Shi was at a loss. After thinking about it, he couldn't be sure, and said, "Probably it is. When I watched the starfish swimming in the water, it looks like you just now, but of course she is more proficient and comfortable than that."
With a hint of joy on Zhong Qingzhu's face, he smiled and said, "Really, then this swimming is quite simple."
Shen Shi rolled his eyes, thinking that you are hitting someone in the face desperately...
Zhong Qingzhu fluttered in the pool for a while again. Shen Shi stood on the shore to remind her to be careful, but gradually he also noticed that Zhong Qingzhu really seemed to have an inexplicable talent here, just listening to word of mouth. Coupled with a few attempts by myself, it seems that I have really learned it. This makes it really embarrassing for a certain famous teacher to give pointers and to study hard for a long time but still can't see the hope of success.
Seeing Zhong Qingzhu, who is becoming more and more comfortable in the pool, Shen Shi has a little doubt about his natural assets for the first time, and at the same time he truly realizes that there is indeed a shocking genius in this world.
Zhong Qingzhu seems to be getting acquainted with the water quickly, even if she is still hurting her left hand at the moment, but there is a certain degree of advancement and retreat between the traveling and swimming, and after a while, she suddenly turned her head and shouted at the sinking stone standing on the shore Road:
"Stone, wait for me, I will try to dive and see if there is a way out?"
"Huh?" Shen Shi was taken aback, but before he could stop him from being born, Zhong Qingzhu took a deep breath and dived into the water. After a while, his figure disappeared.
Shen Shi was quite worried in his heart, frowning and looking at this quiet pond, and said: "What anxious, do you want to run before you learn to walk! Uh..."
His voice suddenly became quieter, and he curled his lips: Well, she seems to have learned to "walk".
Cultivating for only a short period of time, the physical body is almost the same as a mortal. He took a breath and dived into the water. Zhong Qingzhu did not support it long before he surfaced, beckoning Shenshi from a distance, looking at the expression is nothing special.
Shen Shi was a little worried and waved: "Why don't you come up and rest first?"
Zhong Qingzhu gently wiped his face in his hand and said: "The water is not in a hurry, it's okay, I will look at it and come up." After that, he took a deep breath and dived.
This time it took a little longer to dive into the water than the previous one. After Shen Shi waited, his eyes fell on the surface of the water, and he was thinking about whether he wanted to go down and flop twice. Maybe he would get started and learn to swim. It's...
After hesitating, time passed without knowing it, but Zhong Qingzhu never came up. Shen Shi gradually became a little worried. He couldn't help but walked two steps to the water's edge, looking nervously down the water surface, thinking about it. Nothing will happen?
Fortunately, at this moment, with only a sound of "crash", the water was rippling, Zhong Qingzhu broke through the water like a small fish, but this time she did not stay in the water, but used her hands and feet together, swimming towards the shore. .
Shen Shi looked at her with a tired look, and quickly walked a few steps forward and stepped into the water. When she came over, he caught her, helped Zhong Qingzhu to the shore, and walked back to the cave without rain. Sitting down at the place, the two of them were relieved.
Zhong Qingzhu exhaled and said: "I've been there to see..." He looked up and saw Shen Shi's hopeful eyes. Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, as if hesitated for a while, and whispered: "There is no way out." of."
Shen Shi didn't look cheered when she came up before, so he guessed that it was mostly the result, and then listened to her to say it personally. Although she was a little disappointed, she was expecting it. He sighed and said nothing.
Zhong Qingzhu glanced at him and said, "However, I found this under the water."
Shen Shi looked up and saw Zhong Qingzhu stretch out his hand and spread out his palm. At this moment, there are two beautiful crystal clear stones in the white palm.
Shen Shi's eyes lit up, he stood up abruptly, and said, "Lingjing!"
※※※
Crystal clear and radiant, even in this somewhat gloomy cave, there is a faint brilliance. The two crystalline little stones lying quietly in the palm of Zhong Qingzhu's palm are the spiritual crystals that are indispensable to the monks.
Zhong Qingzhu also has a happy color on the surface, but he looks calmer than Shen Shi, and smiles: "Yes, I didn't see a way out to the outside world after I got under the water, but I just saw a corner under the water. Once there were such two spirit crystals, I took them back."
"Good luck." Shen Shi picked up a spirit crystal from her hand and sighed authentically.
Jinhong Mountain is the first celestial mountain in the south of Hongmeng. The spiritual veins in the depths of its mountains are even more famous for dragon veins. It is huge, long and rich in spiritual energy, rich in spiritual crystals, and only such a huge spiritual vein can support such a huge cultivation power of Lingxiaozong Therefore, for any cultivating sect in the world with a slightly larger scale, there must be a large or small spiritual vein where the mountain gate is located. This is the fundamental foundation of the sect.
The spirit vein of Jinhong Mountain is hidden deep in the fairy mountain, and naturally it is closely guarded by the Lingxiaozong, but this spirit vein is really amazingly large. It traverses the sea of ​​Xianshan Mountain. Except for the main vein in the depths of Jinhong Mountain, the branches of the remaining veins are deep underground. It also spreads, and the islands and oceans surrounding the Golden Rainbow Immortal Mountain will be affected by this spiritual vein.
Although at the end of the branches of the spiritual veins, the spiritual power of heaven and earth is already weak, and it is impossible to produce spiritual crystals every day like the main vein, but as time passes, a few spiritual crystals will occasionally condense and scattered on the islands around Jinhong Mountain. One or two spirit crystals can be found by accident. Those Red Clam people often dive in the sea and occasionally find a few spirit crystals in the deep water. This is the reason.
It’s just that the Lingxiao Sect established a sect in Jinhong Mountain for thousands of years, and the human races rarely go in the sea. Most of the many islands around here have been set foot, so there is basically no such thing as a roadside. Good thing about Lingjing. As for the scene before him, it must be under this cliff and secluded pool, inaccessible, and affected by the end of the spiritual vein somewhere. A few spiritual crystals have condensed over time, but it is really an unexpected joy.
Zhong Qingzhu also seemed to be happy, saying: "With these two spirit crystals, we will be able to last for at least 20 days."
Shen Shi nodded, suddenly thinking of something, and hurriedly asked: "Right, is there still under the water?"
Zhong Qingzhu hesitated for a while, glanced at Shen Shi, shook his head, and said: "I haven't seen any other spirit crystals, so I will find these two. If no one comes to rescue us after a while, I will Go down and look for it?"
Shen Shi nodded, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, but then he was happy, and looked at the spirit crystal in his hand with a smile, after all, this is the real life-saving baby, can find this thing in this desperate situation, what else Are you complaining?
Zhong Qingzhu looked at him with a smile, his lips squirmed a few times, he stopped talking, and finally smiled and said, "Or, let's practice quickly. I hope that in these twenty days, all the seniors and sisters in the door. We can find us."
Shen Shi nodded, and subconsciously raised his head and forgot to look at the narrow sky on the cliff outside the cave. The wind and rain were still there, but the strong wind was blocked by the cliff, but the rain was still not small, and it fell from the sky. , The whole world is still gray.
※※※
I don’t know when the cave began to calm down, Shen Shi held the spiritual crystal in his hand, and only felt a warm and cool breath coming from his palm. He raised his eyes and found Zhong Qingzhu sitting on the other side of the cave. Leaning against the stone wall, sitting with his feet crossed, his eyes closed and his complexion deep, he seemed to be practicing, absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth from the spiritual crystal.
He retracted his gaze and fell back to the spiritual crystal in his hand, thinking that he could only use a spiritual crystal for ten days, but now it seems that he should save it, not to mention, practice once a day.
Thinking of him, he also calmed down, closed his eyes, immersed his mind in the palm of his mind, and began to perceive the weak spiritual power of heaven and earth.
The process of cultivation was the same as before, calm and stable. He smoothly sensed the spiritual power in the spirit crystal, and then led the spirit into the body, slowly running along the qi veins around the body for a week. When the spiritual power stabilized in the body, He only felt a little drowsy, that was the inevitable mental exhaustion after practicing.
Shen Shi slowly opened her eyes and found that Zhong Qingzhu was still practicing with her eyes closed. It seemed that she had been practicing for a bit longer than herself, and she didn't know whether she was perceiving spiritual power or attracting the spirit into the body or other practices. The joints are slower than yourself.
Sitting where he was hesitated, Chen Shi closed his eyes again, and the spell of the Heart-Clearing Curse slowly flowed through his heart, and a cool and gentle breath began to wander slowly in his body. A very familiar feeling, the spiritual power that had just been inhaled in the body, it seemed to be driven by some nameless force, and suddenly awakened, and began to swim slowly again.
Passed through the chest and abdomen, swam through the Tiantu Baihui, and finally stopped silently at the center of Shen Shi's eyebrows. There are already some weak spiritual powers gathered here. That was Shen Shi's cultivation of Heart-Cleaning Curse a few days ago. the result of. Now he practices twice a day, during which he uses the Heart-Cleaning Mantra to regain his spirit. The spiritual power gained from the second practice is no different from that of ordinary people. They are scattered randomly in the whole body's vital energy, which is almost imperceptible and only In the future, when the cultivation base advances to the Ning Yuan realm and the Qihai Jade Mansion is opened, the spiritual power of the whole body can be gathered to the Yufu Dantian. From then on, the monks have made great progress, and they can start to drive all kinds of magic weapons and practice various divine channel skills. .
In addition to these spiritual powers that are indistinguishable from ordinary people, there is another part of spiritual power in Shen Shi's body. It is because after practicing the Heart-Clearing Mantra, it strangely gathers at the center of his forehead, and the ordinary spiritual power scattered around the body. It is different. The spiritual power at the center of his eyebrows seems to be gathered in one place. After each practice, the spiritual power naturally gathers and merges. Although Shen Shi's cultivation time is still short now, the spiritual power at the center of his eyebrows is still weak. Incomparable, but in the feeling, it is already thicker than the scattered and scattered spiritual power.
And today’s spiritual power, after reaching Shen Shi’s eyebrows, there is no sign of struggling, and it submissively merges with those spiritual powers originally here, and it feels as if this spiritual power is a little thicker. Condensed a little bit.
Chapter 62—Salvation
At the beginning, he escaped by chance, trudged hard in the dark cave, struggling out of the cave with hope, and found himself in the Jedi again, with great joy and great sadness, but the following days seemed to be much calmer.
Because Zhong Qingzhu was lucky to find two spirit crystals under the water, Shen Shi and she were able to survive in this tiankeng Jedi. Although there is still no hope of salvation at present, it is finally Temporarily get rid of the threat of death.
In the days that followed, the two of them often looked at the sky, hoping to see the magical figure of the brother and sister in the door descending from the sky, but I don’t know if this cliff tiankeng is too secret or inconspicuous. The disciples of the High Heaven Sect never found this place. After five days, even the sea storm had receded, and the sky was blue and clear again, but there was no sign of a figure on the cliff, even if it flew across the sky. .
From the initial hopefulness in Shen Shi's heart, he gradually became a little anxious. You must know that they only have two spirit crystals in their hands. Under the split use of the two, they can only support each other for at most 20 days. Someone came to rescue them, I'm afraid they are really going to die here.
So at the evening of the fifth day, Shen Shi discussed with Zhong Qingzhu: "Qingzhu, I don’t think it’s hard for anyone to come here again. Or we can try to walk around from under the cave, maybe we can also go out. ?"
Through these few days of cultivation, Zhong Qingzhu has attracted the spirit into the body, and the spiritual effect is magical. The injury on his hand has been much better. It is no longer so painful, but still cannot easily move. After hearing what Shen Shi said, she hesitated for a while, and seemed to be thinking about it. After a while, she looked up and said, "I think we should wait here for a few days. The cave underneath is completely dark. What is there? It's weird that we don't know it, it's always dangerous."
Shen Shi slowly nodded his head. Zhong Qingzhu's words were indeed reasonable. It seemed that she was not as careful as her as a man. Since Lingjing was in hand, she really didn't need to be so urgent, so she agreed immediately.
Zhong Qingzhu saw that he didn't insist, her face relaxed a lot. After a few light chats, her gaze swept across the secluded pool outside the cave accidentally, her gaze was slightly stagnant for a moment, but then her face was expressionless. The ground turned away.
※※※
After three more days, every day begins with peace and anticipation. Every twilight and evening ends in disappointment. The rescuer never appeared. Shen Shi calculated the days in his heart and felt that such a long period of time only The seniors on Herring Island might have thought that the two of them had been swept away by the huge waves, so they gave up the rescue.
His mood gradually became a little irritable again. Although he was actually a calm and cautious personality on weekdays, he was in desperate situation, seeing the hope of rescue getting smaller and smaller, how could he not be anxious, by contrast, it was Zhong Qingzhu. It's been quiet as before, and he doesn't show much anxiety in weekdays, which makes Shen Shi quite surprised.
It’s just that the days of waiting are really tough. Besides, if it’s impossible to go back to the cave, of course, the more the remaining use of the spirit crystal, the better, so on the ninth day, Shen Shi finally couldn’t bear it, and asked Zhong Qingzhu again. A suggestion was made to try to go out under the cave.
Zhong Qingzhu hesitated for a long time this time, but in the end he softly asked Shen Shi to wait a few more days. Shen Shi was puzzled and asked why she didn’t want to go back. Zhong Qingzhu hesitated and asked Ai Ai to say she was afraid of the dark. It is not a last resort that I really don't want to dare to go back to the bottom of the dark and terrible cave.
Shen Shimang was speechless, but it was impossible for him to leave Zhong Qingzhu alone. So after all, he stayed and made an appointment with Zhong Qingzhu to wait a few more days. If the rescuer still does not come, then Unable to play, I can only try to go back.
But perhaps it was the patient waiting that finally moved God. In this painful waiting and suffering, on the tenth day, this almost impossible day, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu first saw the original blue sky in the morning. Suddenly, several strange rays of light flashed through the middle of the sky, criss-crossing, long-lasting, shaped like a skynet; at noon, there were more and more strange lights above the dome, and finally a huge light curtain was formed, covering the entire Herring Island. , Extremely magnificent and fantastic.
When the mask was fully formed, dozens of gentle white lights fell from the sky. The white lights were like mountains and mountains, and the weather was infinite and daunting. They slowly moved from the edge of Herring Island to the island. Seeing the huge brilliance of the action trail, it was connecting the island I didn't miss a single trace of the last place, and I swept over.
In the afternoon, a white light glided across a rock wall somewhere in the mountain and shone into the cliff tiankeng.
The calm white light passed over the surprised faces and bodies of Chen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu, and suddenly stopped, and at this moment, the strange and magnificent mask of the sky suddenly uttered a deep and sharp sound. sound.
As if awakened in their hearts, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu looked at each other, and they both saw the uncontrollable excitement and desire in each other's eyes. They ran to the middle of the bottom of the sinkhole, looking up at the huge miraculous light in the sky. The curtain, shouted loudly.
Half an hour later, several sword beams broke through the air, hovering in a circle above the cliff incomparably quickly, and immediately under the rush, the leader was Wang Gen. Behind him, Zheng Zhe and several other disciples of the Ling Xiaozong also followed, with a strangely surprised look on their faces, as if they had never expected that Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu would still live tenaciously under this cliff.
saved……
At that moment, when Wang Gen’s resolute face appeared in front of them, leading everyone to fall under the cliff, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu finally confirmed that they had really escaped from birth. This time of disaster, they finally broke through. .
Zhong Qingzhu's eyes were red, as if he wanted to cry again, Shen Shi also gritted his teeth, staring blankly as he watched the burly Wang Gen strode in front of him.
Although Wang Gen’s expression did not have such a surprised expression from Zheng Zhe and others, it could still be seen that there was a bit of excitement and excitement that rarely appeared on his face. Looking at the two young men and women under the cliff, their clothes were broken. With a tired face, the girl's left hand was still tied to her side by a cloth belt, looking like she was injured by a broken arm. Not to mention how they struggled to escape and ascend to heaven, but it is conceivable how much hardship they both suffered.
Wang Gen took a deep breath, stood in front of the two of them, nodded gently, showing a slight smile, and said: "Okay, let's go home."
"Um..." With a low sob, thinking from the side, it was Zhong Qingzhu that finally couldn't bear the excitement, and hid his mouth and choked.
※※※
A raging storm over the sea was lost, and at this time, the curtain was finally over. Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu were rescued by Wang Gen and others on the herring set. They first received treatment. They were trapped in the cliff's deep valley for more than ten days. They were exhausted physically and mentally, but because of the support of Lingjing, they finally got married. No special wounds were left.
Zhong Qingzhu’s injury was a bit more serious, especially the fracture of his left arm that dragged on for so many days, and he went into the water several times without knowing the severity of it. Although the spirit crystals were cultivated to attract the spirit into the body, it made the body feel much better, but After inspection, Wang Gen and others told her that this was a sign that the treatment did not cure the root cause. The broken bone in the arm had not been connected. After so many days, the broken bones inside were misplaced and the injury was more serious. Up.
If it is in the mundane world, this arm would be difficult to save, but where the Lingxiao Sect is, naturally there are miraculous medicines and magical methods. Although these spiritual materials and Taoisms are usually valuable, at this moment, Wang Gen naturally uses it unceremoniously. Zhong Qingzhu’s body was quickly rescued from her arm. It was just because the delay was too long. After all, there would still be some minor effects. In the future, the movements of her left arm will be slightly different from those of ordinary people, but she doesn’t take it seriously. It can't be seen, and at the same time, it will not affect the future cultivation of Taoism. It is already a great fortune in misfortune.
In contrast, Shen Shi is basically fine. Some minor skin injuries have been healed in those ten days, but the saddest thing is the suffering in those days. After he was saved, he was sent back to the cave house, and after a good rest for a day or two, he almost recovered.
During this time, Wang Gen visited him once, and several other new friends he met on weekdays also came. He Xiaomei, Jiang Hongguang and even the starfish girl from Hongbang Village got the news and went to visit his cave. . But of course, the friend who treated him most kindly was Sun You, who went to his cave to talk to him almost every day for the past few days, and Shen Shi couldn't bear it because of his cold and warm appearance.
It was only when Shen Shi asked him why, Sun You said that after the incident, he was also very worried about Shen Shi’s safety, but when Shen Shi was rescued, Wang Gen and others also asked him and Zhong Qingzhu about the disappearance of him and Zhong Qingzhu. It turned out that on the day of the storm, Shen Shi went to find him and accidentally entered the Caibei Beach. This was when he was in danger, and Sun You felt a little sad, so he came here daily.
Of course, Shen Shi would not care about this with Sun You. He smiled and told him not to say too much. Sun You also smiled. However, during two days of chatting, Shen Shi learned from Sun You some of his disappearance on Qingyu Island. What happened.
When the sea storm struck, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu were missing. No matter what went wrong in the process, Brother Wang Gen was furious in Xuanri Hall that day. He trained all the seniors, and then regardless of the storm. Before that, they sent everyone out to search for the whereabouts of the two.
It’s just that no one would have thought that the two of them would be rushed into the ground by a huge wave, and then struggled to crawl to that remote cliff and deep valley that no one knew, so even if Wang Gen and others searched carefully, the land on the island almost turned three feet over. But they were still not found.
Over time, everyone's heart gradually became desperate, mostly guessing that they were afraid that they were on the coast before the storm, so they could not find anyone when they were swept away by the wind and waves. It's just that among the crowd, only Senior Brother Wang Gen insisted, even after so long, he still refused to give up the search and rescue.
In fact, when things have reached this point, the Lingxiao sect has naturally received news. Although the disappearance of the new disciple on Qingyu Island is not a huge wave in the sect, there are many undercurrents behind it. How many people secretly waited to see Wang Gen's ugliness, but they did not ask.
"Fortunately, thanks to Senior Brother Wang's persistence, I was able to save you." Sun You sighed, and at the same time, he glanced at Shen Shi and smiled, "By the way, I can save you this time, thanks to that day. Daoguangshi, do you know what it is?"
Shen Shi was startled. On that day, the magical light curtain flicked across the sky, all kinds of visions, and then Wang Gen and others went deep into the cliff to save people. Obviously from beginning to end, the white light was the source of his salvation. Sun You said so and quickly asked:
"Ah, is that thing really weird, what is it?"
