The two returned to the town, planning to go to the Lijiang branch of the Yashan School again.

The town was a little deserted, most people went to the pier to watch the excitement, and there were only a few scattered people in the shop looking at the shop.

The morning breeze is cool, carrying scattered fallen leaves.In order not to disturb the residents, the two chose to walk out of town instead of Edgeworth.Xi Zhaomu walked in front without haste, and Lin Xishi followed behind her, curiously looking at the shop products with ethnic characteristics.

A peddler was chewing melon seeds, sitting carelessly on the side of the road, holding a straw stick in his arms, with a few bunches of crystal clear candied haws stuck on it.Beside him is a modified small trolley, which contains a lot of weird gadgets.

Seeing two little girls passing by, he was overjoyed, and shouted: "Miss! Do you want candied haws?"

Lin Xishi looked for the voice and looked at him, then at Xi Zhaomu who was walking in front.Just as Xi Zhaomu turned his head, a pair of watery eyes looked at her tenderly.

Her pretty side face was lost in the twilight, hazy and poetic.

Xi Zhaomu said, "Want to eat?"

Lin Xishi nodded very honestly while spurning his foodie attributes.

Xi Zhaomu took out his wallet out of nowhere and asked the vendor, "How can I buy candied haws?"

The peddler shook his two fingers, showing his white teeth: "You ladies look like fairies, I count you two pennies for one string, and five pennies for three strings."

Xi Zhaomu said: "Take a bunch, please." She opened her wallet and was about to give the money, but suddenly stopped, and even frowned.Lin Xishi leaned over, took a look at Xi Chaomu's arm, and was immediately speechless:

The wallet was full of silver and gold ingots, but there was not a single copper plate.

Xi Zhaomu hesitated for a moment, but still took out a broken piece of silver and said, "There's no need to look for it."

The peddler had been waiting for her a long time ago, quickly took the money and put it in his pocket, and handed over the biggest bunch of candied haws: "Thank you miss, thank you miss."

Lin Xishi didn't bother to argue with him about changing money anymore, she reached out to take the candied haws and was about to take a bite when a person bumped into him suddenly.

The man didn't know what happened, but suddenly bumped into Lin Xishi's shoulder.Lin Xishi staggered, and the candied haws fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.Xi Zhaomu grabbed her swiftly so that Lin Xishi would not fall down.

Lin Xishi managed to stand still, rubbed his shoulders and said, "Hey, what's going on?"

The woman who bumped into her was panicked, as if she was about to cry: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I, I..."

The woman's face was pale, and her white robe was scratched and torn, covered with leaves and dirt.Her eyes were red, and there were obvious tears on her cheeks, and she explained in a hoarse voice: "I didn't mean to..."

Lin Xishi looked her in the eyes, felt very familiar, and thought: Strange, isn't this the white robe of the Yashan sect?

Xi Zhaomu supported her shoulders, shook her, and said, "Calm down."

Lin Xishi also patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "It's okay, just calm down and talk about what happened."

The woman stared blankly at the two of them, and when she came to her senses, she burst into tears, "Senior Sister Xi!"

.

From her intermittent explanation, Lin Xishi finally figured out the ins and outs.It turned out that the Red Butterfly Twins kidnapped many immortal disciples and locked them all in a cave.I don't know if he is planning to use this to blackmail the immortal sect to redeem people, or if he is planning to simply kill people to silence them.

The woman's name was Lu Guo, and she was an inner sect disciple of Hexuan Peak of the Yashan School. After using the fake death elixir, her body was thrown into the pool, and she swam out through the underground river.Her spiritual power was exhausted, and she was hungry and afraid all the way and rushed to the town to find help.

Several people simply sat down by the roadside.Lu Guo cried and wiped his tears and said (please add Junyang: [-]): "Senior Sister Xi, many disciples were imprisoned in that cave, as well as mine, my friend..."

Lin Xishi patted her on the shoulder repeatedly, and comforted her: "Fortunately, you came out to report, those disciples will be fine."

Xi Zhaomu asked, "Can you take us to that cave?"

Lu Guo hesitated to speak, and finally said nonuo: "I, I know the general location, but shouldn't we go back to the branch first to find more people?"

Xi Zhaomu shook his head and said, "It's too late now, send a letter back first, and we'll set off right away."

Lin Xishi also agreed, after all, Jin Li's sister is still missing, and it's only a matter of time.

But Lu Guo finally escaped from that ghostly place, how could he want to go back?The two acted both hard and soft, and Lu Guo finally let go and agreed to take the two to the exit of the underground river, but she was determined not to go in together.

The two had no choice, so they let her walk back by herself, preparing to find the entrance of the cave through the underground river.

Lin Xishi, as a water spirit root, certainly has an advantage in this kind of place.The two dived into the water, Lin Xishi slowed down the rushing water, and led Xi Zhaomu to swim to the water source.

.

The underground channel is unexpectedly long.It was dark all around, and the walls were covered with greasy moss.The river water filled the pinnae, bringing strange echoes.

Even though there is no need to breathe through the spell, the pressure of the river still makes people feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, very uncomfortable, as if being pressed by a huge boulder on the chest.

Time seemed to pass very long, I don't know if it was an hour or two, the system suddenly reminded: "Take a look at Xi Zhaomu, there seems to be something wrong with her."

Lin Xishi said weakly: "How long have we been swimming?"

The system said coldly: "It's been exactly 65 minutes since you entered the water."

Lin Xishi wailed: "No way! I think we've been swimming for at least five or six hours."

The system explained: "In an extremely dark and depressing situation, you will feel that time passes very slowly, but in fact it is only a few 10 minutes."

Lin Xishi sighed, and was going to check on Xi Zhaomu's situation.She psychically asked, "Senior Sister Chaomu, are you okay?"

After a while, a slightly tired voice sounded in my mind: "Yes."

Lin Xishi asked, "Would you like to take a break?"

Xi Zhaomu said resolutely, "I'm fine...the most important thing is to rescue those trapped disciples."

Lin Xishi frowned, she turned around involuntarily, and grabbed Xi Zhaomu's slender wrist in the dark.Using her spiritual power secretly, she opened up a small but dry space in the turbulent river.

Lin Xishi took a few breaths and lit a torch.Under the burning fire, Xi Zhaomu's complexion was pale.

Regardless of the moss on the wall, Xi Zhaomu slightly leaned against the wall to support his body.She smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, I let you see a joke."

Lin Xishi poked her on the forehead and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, just say it. Why are you holding on. Chaomu, you are an ice spirit root, and there must be a lot of inconvenience in moving in the water."

Xi Zhaomu shook his head, took the Huozhezi from Lin Xishi's hand, and said, "It's not about the river water, the river is too dark, I'm not used to it."

Lin Xishi frowned and said, "Then why didn't you say it earlier? What if you stop eating before you meet the Chidie Twins?" She said angrily, "Take a good rest, okay if you don't have a rest?" Ready to go."

Xi Zhaomu let out a "puchi" laugh, her brows and eyes were crooked, and a smile overflowed from the tip of her brows.She said: "Thank you, Junior Sister Xishi, for caring about me so much."

Xi Zhaomu melted an ice ball, wrapped the fire pocket, and said, "It should be better with some light."

The thin ice covers the firefoil like a cage, and the firefoil burns quietly in it. The firelight reflects various colors through the ice surface, illuminating the deep river bottom.

Although it is very unscientific, it is beyond common sense that they can swim in the river for an hour without breathing.So it doesn't seem so strange to burn fire in ice.

In the end, the two each held a hockey puck and dived into the river again.

.

After harassing the system countless times, the two finally got close to the exit.But when Lin Xishi saw a little bit of light seeping into the water, he wept with joy.

With a "crash", she poked her head out of the water, climbed onto the bank wetly, and pulled Xi Zhaomu up.

The two arrived in a dark and damp cave, and the sound of water splashes when they landed startled the bats hanging from the dome, and an overwhelming shadow passed over their heads.Odd-shaped stalactites can be seen everywhere, and water droplets hanging from the tip of the stone fall into the pool, spreading circles and ripples.

After drying the clothes with spells, the two prepared to walk along the cave.

Stepping on the loose gravel, I heard the continuous sound of water droplets, and the whole cave was a little ghostly.Lin Xishi inexplicably thought of the incense ash floating all over the sky in the ghost market, and couldn't help feeling a little scared.

The two had just walked two steps, but the cave lighted up strangely——

I don't know what mechanism was touched, and with a "huh", the torches fixed on the wall lit up one after another, and the faint blue flame illuminated the cave, as if pointing a direction for the two of them.

Lin Xishi tightly grasped Xi Chaomu's sleeve, so she didn't yell out "there is a ghost" in her mouth.

Xi Zhaomu was also taken aback, but she quickly calmed down and said with concentration: "It's the Green Soul Fire! As long as there is a little sound, it will light up one after another. It is usually used by demon cultivators to illuminate their homes. It seems that we have found the right place. .”

Lin Xishi trembled and said, "With such a big commotion, the Chidie Twins wouldn't be aware of us, would they?"

Xi Zhaomu pulled her carefully along the firelight, and said in a low voice, "There is no other way, let's take one step at a time."

Lin Xishi nodded, and followed behind her as lightly as possible.

The light of the fire turned and turned, but the way forward was from the narrow aisle at the beginning to become more and more spacious.Not long after, the two heard voices coming from the corner ahead, but when they walked in, they found that the entrance was blocked by layers of vines.

Xi Zhaomu took out his sword, and cut off the vines blocking the way neatly.The vines crackled and fell to the ground, and the original voice stopped abruptly.

One person said loudly:

"Who's there!?"
