Fragrant willow catkins

The Third Master squatted down and carved something on the stone in front of him with the Feather Sword. "I can chisel a hole in this stone, write some words on it, and pass it down with a rope. Mr. He will search for us along the river. When he reaches the waterfall at the end of the river, he will definitely leave someone to guard it. I hope they can see it."

Ningxu curiously held the cup and walked behind the Third Master, and saw a sentence carved by the Third Master - There is a cave in the forest, leading to the waterfall, and a rope is prepared to rescue people at the cave entrance.

After carving, the Third Master returned the Feather Sword to Ningxu, tied the rope, and lowered the stone down the waterfall. The rope was made up of several pieces of rope tied together, and it was unknown whether it would reach the bottom.

Not long after, San Ye felt that the stone seemed to have sunk to the bottom. To ensure that the stone could be seen, San Ye pulled the rope upwards again and placed the stone in the air so that it could be discovered.

Ningxu: "So we are going back to the cave entrance now?"

The Third Master was still pulling the rope, "Meng'er, you and Xiaowu go back to the cave entrance first. When they rescue you, ask He Lao to send someone to notify me."

Ningxu: "No, if you want to go, let's go together."

They hadn't eaten for a day, and had just drunk two sips of water. When they fell off the cliff and were washed ashore, their clothes were all wet. It was autumn, and it was easy to catch a cold, so she would never let anyone fall behind.

San Ye was not sure. He was not sure how far the terrace was from the shore. If the terrace was in the center of the waterfall, the hanging stone would also be in the center of the river, and it might not be seen by anyone. If this method didn't work, he thought about jumping off the terrace himself. He was sure that Mr. He would leave someone at the end of the river. Although he didn't know if his life would be in danger if he jumped, Meng'er would be saved.

Ningxu would never agree to this method, so the Third Master could only send her away.

The Third Master walked up to Ningxu and comforted her softly, "We need someone to watch over this place. If the rope gets old and breaks, I can stay here and think of other ways to lead them to the cave entrance. You go and wait for them first, and then send someone to rescue them as soon as they are rescued, isn't that enough? Hmm? It's okay."

He spoke softly, just to coax Ningxu away.

Although Ningxu usually fell for his show of weakness, she would never compromise on matters of principle, "I won't!"

"Oh!" Mo Xi couldn't bear to listen any more, "Don't argue. If the stone door is closed, we can't go back to the cave where we fell. The door can only be opened from that side. You guys can just hope that they will send someone down to look for us. Don't be stupid enough to just wait there at the cave entrance."

Considering that they had searched for the three of them in the mountains all night and failed, there must be a fool in the team.

The argument continued, and both Sanye and Ningxu wanted to save their energy, so they found a way out and went back to their previous annoying ways.

San Ye could only guard the rope beside the waterfall, and only by holding the rope with his hand could he make sure whether there was anyone pulling it below.

But the place was close to the waterfall, and water would still splash onto San Ye. Ning Xu found an oil-paper umbrella from somewhere, a small and exquisite one, to block the splashing water for San Ye.

The sun was about to set, and the light coming in from the waterfall turned orange-red.

Ningxu was leaning against the Third Master with her eyes closed to conserve her energy, when suddenly the Third Master sat up straight and Ningxu opened her eyes to check the situation. "What's wrong?"

The Third Master listened carefully to the noises around him. It seemed that in addition to the sound of the waterfall, there were also human shouts coming from outside.

Third Master: "Is someone shouting?"

Ningxu: "What are you shouting for? Is someone coming to rescue us?"

The Third Master shook his head. "It's not coming from the passage, it's coming from outside the waterfall. It sounds like Mo Xun's voice."

After hearing this, Ningxu and Moxi stood up, stood closer to the waterfall, and put their ears close to the outside to listen to what was happening.

Ningxu: "I can't hear clearly. But why is he here? Shouldn't he be rescuing people at the cave entrance?"

Mo Xi couldn't hear clearly. She was already annoyed by the dirty clothes, and now she was even more annoyed by having to get close to this annoying waterfall in order to survive. "Hey, don't you have the Yuluo Sword? Try to see if you can split this waterfall with the sword!"

Ningxu looked at Moxi in shock, "What are you thinking about? This is water. What effect will it have if I chop the water with my sword?"

Mo Xi: "You can summon a sword out of thin air, so why can't you use your sword energy to split water?"

Ningxu frowned. What she said seemed to make sense. "I'll try."

Summoning the Feather Sword, Ningxu got into position, took a deep breath, used his internal energy to raise the sword and slashed at the waterfall. As expected, the water flow was instantly blocked, and a crack appeared in front of the three of them, allowing them to see the scene outside clearly.

As the sun sets, the terrace faces the viewing platform halfway up the mountain where we had climbed before.

And right below the sun was Mo Xun, who saw them jump up, wave his hands and shout.

Mo Xun: "Big brother! Little Five and Little Six! I see you!"

The water flow quickly returned to its original state, and Ningxu had no choice but to use his sword energy again to split the water flow again.

Mo Xun: "There are people helping at the cave entrance! Go quickly!"

Hearing this, the three of them smiled for the first time in a long time. Fortunately, Mr. San and Mr. He had a tacit understanding and could think of the same idea. Otherwise, who could find the abnormality just by looking at the rocks hanging above the waterfall?

Ningxu winked at Moxi, who understood. Ningxu swung his sword again, and the two of them replied in unison, "Okay!"

After confirming that there was rescue at the cave entrance, the three of them didn't waste any more time talking to Mo Xun. They put out the fire, drank the water in the cups to make sure they wouldn't be thirsty later. After all, they still had to get out of the mountain, so the three of them got up and returned.

After walking out of the master's bedroom, the three of them bowed towards the door, then pushed the door back to its original state, took a reluctant look at the exquisite safe, and turned and left.

The three of them went around and around and returned to the stone gate. The door had not been opened yet. Ningxu knocked on the door in confusion. The person on the other end heard the sound and ran to the stone gate in panic.

"Master! Miss! Is that you?!"

Ningxu: "Yes, it's us, open the door."

"Miss! How do you open this door?!"

Ningxu: “…”

Ningxu was still very confused. They had found where they were, but why had no one come to greet them along the way? It turned out that they didn't know how to open this mechanism...

After telling them how to open the door, they heard the sound of a disc turning from inside, and the stone door opened after a while.

As the three approached the door, they saw the guards kneeling down in front of the Third Master in unison, "I have failed in my duty, please punish me, Young Master!"

The Third Master sighed helplessly, "Get up, go up first." He had hoped to bring secret guards to ensure their safety, but who would have thought that their safety was not guaranteed, but it was his Meng'er who helped him ensure it.
