Sea Mountain Bright Moon

Holding Liu Mengli in her arms, she slid down the rope to the bottom of the cave. When she stepped on the soft soil under her feet, Han Lingsha let go of her hand immediately, walked aside, took out a firefoil and lit the turpentine torch that she had prepared earlier in the morning.

"Miss Liu, when I come down this time, I only have five torches, and one can burn for half an hour. When the five torches are burned out, it's almost time for the rooster to crow. It doesn't matter if you or I find out by then. What, you have to leave immediately, understand?"

With the light of the fire, Han Lingsha looked around the cave. It was about ten feet above the ground, and the dome was like a covered bowl. It seemed that there was no trace of artificial decoration. It should be made naturally. There are different openings, the big one can accommodate three or four people walking side by side, the small one is no more than the size of a bowl, and countless plant roots and stems are crowded and growing in it, densely packed. Looking at the cave, it is empty around, only the ground is covered with a tree. There was a thin layer of soil, and some dead branches and leaves that fell from the hole above. Now that she entered the hole, the smell of blood became more and more pervasive. She could no longer tell where the smell of blood came from.

After a pause, Han Lingsha saw that Liu Mengli was only looking around the cave without paying attention to herself, so she said again: "Miss Liu, there are many caves here, you can smell where the bloody smell is coming from." of?"

Liu Mengli didn't answer, just waved her hand slightly, and walked to the entrance of the cave silently, stretched out her palm as if sensing something, then put down her hand after a while, and walked to another cave entrance, she repeated this movement for six There are seven cave entrances. Finally, she stood in front of a cave entrance that was one person high and three feet wide. Then she turned her head and said to Han Lingsha: "Miss Han, the caves here extend in all directions, and there are rumors about everything. I can tell the difference for a while." If we don't know the source of the bloody smell, how about we start to explore from here?"

"En." Han Lingsha responded, walked in front of Liu Mengli, took out a piece of inkstone from her treasure bag, drew a mark on the entrance of the cave, and then turned her head and said to Liu Mengli: "Let's go, you follow Me, watch your step."

Liu Mengli looked thoughtfully at the mark drawn by Han Lingsha, responded, and followed behind Han Lingsha.

Taking the lead into the dark tunnel in front of her, Han Lingsha raised the torch a little higher so that Liu Mengli behind her could also see it. As she walked forward, she could feel a breeze blowing on her face, and the smell of blood mixed in it was stronger than the smell outside. It is much thicker, it seems that it is not unreasonable for Liu Mengli to choose this path first.

It's just that I don't know where the wind in the cave comes from, and it feels a bit cold and bone-chilling when it blows on the face.

"Miss Liu, I don't know something."

"Miss Han, please tell me."

"This female Luoyan haunts and injures people, but no one has ever seen her true colors?"

"Well, because so far, those who have seen that beast have turned into corpses."

After a slight pause, Liu Mengli continued: "About two months ago, some people who came to Nvluoyan to collect grass found a corpse. It seemed that its body was torn apart by sharp claws. Within a few days, the corpses of several incense makers who often came to Nvluoyan to pick grass were found. Find out what kind of beast was injured.

"Oh? The matter is so serious?"

"Yes, for this reason, my father had to send government servants to seal off this female Luoyan, prohibiting the common people from entering the mountain to pick herbs. At the same time, he summoned a large number of hunters to enter the mountain, but even though he had hunted all the beasts around, he still couldn't stop the wounding. Every ten days, corpses are still found in Nvluoyan."

"According to what you said, is the scope of the accident limited to Nuluoyan?"

"Yes, that's why Mengli has a suspicion in her heart, and she just needs to find that hurtful beast to prove it." When Liu Mengli said this, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Because Han Lingsha's wrist was tied to her with the fairy rope, she was also pulled to a halt at this moment, so she turned her head and looked at Liu Mengli and said, "What's wrong? Miss Liu found something?"

Under the swaying flames, Liu Mengli's expression flickered, her pair of Jianshui Qiutong stared straight at Han Lingsha, and said, "Miss Han, are you unhappy? Did Mengli annoy Miss Han because of her inappropriate words and deeds?" ?”

Those eyes were full of mid-autumn waves, which made Han Lingsha's chest tighten.

Yes, she did get down into this hole, no, she always felt unhappy when she was up there, but she didn't quite understand why she was unhappy.

Liu Mengli poisoned herself, this was something she knew from the beginning, and it was also the foundation of the relationship between the two of them, but she never expected that Liu Mengli really poisoned her.

No matter what, she couldn't hate Liu Mengli, even if the poisoning she said just now was true.

The matter has come to this point, in fact, this time to accompany her to Nu Luoyan, Han Lingsha felt that half of it was voluntary, otherwise with her own ability, she could have tied Liu Mengli by her side for three days instead of letting herself He was bound by Liu Mengli's side for three days.

So what are you angry about?

I really couldn't figure it out, so I didn't want to think about it anymore, Han Lingsha sneered, and said: "Miss Liu, I think anyone who is poisoned and forced to help others will feel unhappy, but I have been living Breathe, from, afternoon, afternoon, to, now, at."

"No, you were upset just at the beginning." Liu Mengli shook her head and said, "You were only angry in the afternoon, but you weren't unhappy. Now you are unhappy, I know."

"Aren't being angry and being unhappy the same thing?" Looking at Liu Mengli's serious face, Han Lingsha felt that the sneer was a bit unbearable, so she simply turned around not to look at her, and said, "Besides, it doesn't matter whether I am angry or unhappy." It's my own business, why should you care about it."

Why should you, the culprit, care.

But Liu Mengli still refused to let go and said: "It's different, you are not really angry when you are angry this afternoon, it is just that you are really unhappy when you are unhappy at the moment."

"I said Miss Liu," Han Lingsha looked back at Liu Mengli helplessly. This Liu Mengli usually cherishes words like gold, but now she talks too much.She took a deep breath and said: "I have never met you before, if I hadn't been dazed for a while, I wanted to see what Miss Liu, who everyone in Shouyang City envied, looked like, I wouldn't have fallen It was in your hands to cause all these disputes. Now that we meet by chance, I made it for you and did this for you. I hope you will remember the promise earlier and let your father withdraw my wanted notice. After these three days, we went our separate ways, you are still the daughter of an official, and I am still a bandit, and we will never meet again in this life, so why should you care whether I am happy or not now."

That's right, thinking about it, I am almost completely different from her. Speaking of which, if I hadn't been forcibly tied to my side by her Lihunxiang, I wouldn't have interacted with a celestial figure like her.

But seeing Liu Mengli's pure and flawless pupils, Han Lingsha turned her head again, gave a dry laugh, and said, "That's all, I'm just like this, Miss Liu, don't take it to heart, let's check it out quickly." It is serious to find the source of the bloody smell, here is ventilated from all sides, be careful that the smell will dissipate after a long time, and it will be even more troublesome to find it."

Liu Mengli just stared at Han Lingsha in a daze, her thin and small lips parted slightly, she seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just shook her head and said: "Miss Han said yes, let's move on."

After the conversation just now, the atmosphere between the two became weird. Although Han Lingsha was used to Liu Mengli's reticence, but now that the other party was quiet, she felt a little unspeakably uncomfortable. It would be even better if the seemingly endless cave can be walked quickly, and the source of the bloody smell can be quickly found.

It's just that even if the problem of wild beasts hurting people is solved now, she still has to stay with Liu Mengli for these three days. When she thinks that she will always face Liu Mengli's dull face, Han Ling loves it more I feel sick.

Just now she said that she had already guessed about the beast hurting people, and she didn't know what she thought of, but she seemed to be such a smart person, she must have thought of things that she couldn't think of.

Moreover, she said that she was not happy, she was also preoccupied since she came out.

Thinking wildly in my heart like this, I don't know how long they walked. The first torch in their hands has been extinguished, which shows that the two of them have walked forward in this cave for nearly an hour. Gotta take a break.

To put it bluntly, I don't know how big this underground cave is, and I have traveled so far without seeing the end.

Han Lingsha is a martial arts practitioner, she didn't feel anything wrong after walking for an hour, but she was still worried about Liu Mengli's frail body, and she didn't know if she could bear it.

"Drink some water." He took off the water bag at his waist and unplugged it and handed it to Liu Mengli. Han Lingsha glanced at her quietly by the light of the fire. Fortunately, she looked at ease and did not seem tired.

"Thank you." Liu Mengli didn't refuse, took a few sips from the water bag, handed it back to Han Lingsha without putting the plug back, and said softly, "Miss Han, drink some too."

Han Lingsha took back the water bag without thinking too much, just took a few sips and tied the water bag back to her waist.

"Miss Han."

"Ok?"

"...Mengli knows very little about this underground thing, so I wonder if there is anything strange about Miss Han seeing this cave?"

It is your conscience not to say it directly because I am a tomb robber who is good at digging tunnels.

Han Lingsha put her hands on the wall, pondered for a while, and said, "...it's too dry here."

"dry?"

"Well," Han Lingsha took a breath, and turned her face forward again. The cold wind she felt before has gradually become stronger now, "When we came down just now, we were ten feet away from the ground."

As she said that, she untied the water bag again, squatted down and poured a little water on the ground, and observed the direction of the water. It was indeed flowing forward slowly, so she stood up, clapped her hands, and said, "There is air flowing here." , there must be other exits, we have been walking forward and down at the same time, there are plant roots growing on the wall, the strange thing is, why is there no trace of water vapor here?"

Liu Mengli also stared at the flowing water on the ground, and said: "Yes, there are lush plants in Nvluoyan, so the groundwater should be quite abundant, not to mention the rainwater, now that we have entered the depths of the ground, why don't we see any springs at all? ?”

Han Lingsha sniffed again, and said, "Your nose is better than mine, so you must have smelled it. Apart from the smell of mud and blood, there is no moisture at all."

Liu Mengli nodded, and stretched out her palms to face the front again. After closing her eyes and meditating for a while, she slowly opened them and said, "The wind blowing in front is strange."

"How to say?"

"I noticed this gust of wind just now when we were outside. Now that we have been advancing for a long time, the direction and force of the wind have not changed. It's just that the further we move forward, the heavier the chill will be. If it blows from the outside entrance This is definitely not the case with the night wind." Liu Mengli said: "And... the chill in this wind is not the cold of the night wind, but like the cold of ice and snow... I think the cave is so dry because of the wind. reason."

Han Lingsha was stunned for a moment. Although she also noticed the wind blowing in the cave, she didn't think as much as Liu Mengli. From what she said, she must also be aware of the fact that there is no water here just now. I thought of it early in the morning, but I don't know why I still have to say it through my own mouth.

"No matter what's ahead, I don't know how long it will take to get to the end of this road. I think we will go back the same way after this torch is burned out, and find another way." Han Lingsha shook the torch in her hand, saying yes Liu Mengli said: "Are you still able to walk?"

"I'm fine." Liu Mengli shook her head and said, "Time is running out, let's move on."

Han Lingsha could see that Liu Mengli was a little anxious, but I don't know if it was because of her slow temper, but she didn't show it obviously. She wanted to let her rest for a while, but seeing her like this now, she definitely didn't want to Those who wasted too much time nodded and walked to the front to lead the way again.
