The air is dirty.Mai Mai unscrewed a bottle of water and wet the cloth covering his and Shao Jing's faces again.But even so, the air sucked into the lungs was still like a stone, causing a dull pain in his chest.

Wheat knows this is due to lack of oxygen.In fact, his temples are hurting like they are about to burst, and there are stars flashing in front of his eyes from time to time, and his hands and feet are as heavy as lead. It took a lot of effort to even unscrew a bottle of water just now.

They have been digging for 48 hours.Everyone just took turns sleeping for three hours, and these three hours were divided into six sleeps, because they didn't dare to stay in place for more than half an hour, for fear that the soil behind them would grow over.But even so, the speed of their digging was getting slower and slower. The tunnel they were sheltering in was originally about [-] meters long, but now it was only about ten meters long, and ten meters away was the slowly growing soil.There's food and water, but the air -- it's almost gone.

Shao Jing tried his best to insert the engineering shovel into the sand, but he didn't have the strength to dig it out.He spends most of his time digging in front, expending even more energy, and now his chest seems to be about to explode.And as they excavated, the soil became harder and harder. It was pure mud at first, and now there are stones, and there may be large rocks further forward.Mai Mai pulled him from behind: "Come back, I'll dig for a while." In order to save energy, they dug the tunnel even narrower, and now it is impossible to even half-kneel, and they can only lie on their stomachs.

Shao Jing squirmed his body back a little, and stretched out his palm that had a string of blood blisters.A faint golden light appeared in the palm, not as bright as the pearl of the Ye Mingzhu.Xuanyuan Mirror faithfully fulfilled its duties, reflecting a brilliant golden glow, and the growing soil shrank back slightly wherever it went.But this effect can no longer last. In the beginning, each irradiation could inhibit the growth of the soil for nearly an hour, but now it can only last for 10 minutes, and they can't even advance five meters in these 10 minutes.

There were strings of blisters on Mai Mai's hands, and the hard shovel handle rubbed against her palms, causing excruciating pain.But at this time, everything was trivial. The pain of hypoxia and suffocation made him not even feel the pain in his hands, and he only knew to mechanically wave his arms to dig.It is said to be digging, but in fact it is just poking the shovel back and forth on the soil. Although the soil is not very hard, the wheat has no strength.For the last time, he inserted the shovel five or six centimeters into the soil, but he couldn't pull it out. It seemed that the two arms were not his own, and he couldn't feel any upper limbs at all.Mai Mai was lying in the tunnel, her face stuck to the damp soil, and she was really desperate.

There is still an unknown number of meters thick mountain wall to be dug through, but the soil behind them is chasing after them violently, compressing the space they can accommodate again and again.This is even more desperate than in Gu Dao, where he can at least see the blue sky and white clouds, at least he can escape, but here - there is no escape, no escape...

Shao Jing gently tugged at his ankle: "Tired? I'll do it."

Mai Mai shook his head: "No need, we can't dig it out." Shao Jing had already lost his strength, otherwise how could he rest.

Shao Jing was silent for a few seconds before trying to climb forward: "Don't talk about being discouraged, I will dig."

Mai Mai didn't move, and when he crawled to his side, he stretched out his hand and grabbed his hand: "Stop digging, there is not much time, let me see you again. Although there is still hell to go to after death, but who knows that?" What will the time be like, if I forget you as soon as I die?"

Shao Jing stared at him sideways: "How dare you!" He dug a few times on the top of his head with a sapper shovel, making the tunnel a little higher, half lying and half sitting, holding the wheat in his arms, "Okay, don't dig Alright, let's talk."

Mai Mai rested her head on his shoulder, gently stroking his worn-out palm: "Shao Jing, do you regret it later? If you didn't know me, you wouldn't have come to this kind of place."

Shao Jing kissed his hair that was covered with dirt and dust: "What are you regretting? If I didn't know you, I would still be stuck in the memories of my previous life and couldn't get out. Even if I could live for 100 or 200 years, what's the fun? "

Mai Mai smiled: "200 years? Can you live that long?" Sitting like this, he could already feel the soil growing under his body.The night pearl was thrown four or five steps away from them, and at the end of the pearl's light, Xi Yang was catching up - their shelter had changed from ten meters to seven meters, and it would soon become five meters , three meters, until all gaps in this tunnel are filled with ever-growing soil.Maybe their corpses will be discovered by later generations in a few hundred years, and maybe until they rot into dust, no one will know that there are actually two people buried in the mountainside.

Shao Jing hugged him even tighter: "I can't live, so it doesn't make much difference whether we die now or later. Anyway, we are together, and we will hold hands when we enter the gate of hell. You say, you are not allowed to go back on your word. If you want to reincarnate, we will also be together .”

"What if people don't let it go?" Mai Mai was deeply worried, "Who has the final say on this matter?"

"The King of Wheels." Shao Jing said lightly, "If he doesn't agree, at worst we won't go to reincarnation, and we can just wander around in the underworld."

"Hey, there's also the baby." Mai Mai suddenly thought of the little God Lord of the baby on her neck.Because Shao Jing has been using the Great Sun Tathagata Golden Wheel Curse non-stop, the baby can only hide in the god master, so he hasn't come out since entering the cave.

"We can take him to the underworld to see the flowers of the other side."

"The Bana flower..." Maimai imagined for a while, then shook her head, "I don't know what it looks like?"

"A piece of bright red, covering the sky and covering the earth, blooming all over the underworld."

"Looking at it for a long time will make your eyes tired, and it will have a bad impact on your eyesight."

Shao Jing laughed: "I've never heard of ghosts being nearsighted."

Mai Mai disagreed: "What about myopia in life? Could it be that it will be repaired automatically after being a ghost?"

The two were laughing and laughing, trying not to look at the soil growing up in the tunnel behind.The shelter is only five meters long, and the backpack thrown behind has been swallowed up by the mud. In five or six minutes, even the night pearl will be buried, and the place will turn into darkness.In another hour, it is estimated that the soil will fill all the gaps.However, it is hard to say whether the air here can last for an hour.

Mai Mai wanted to pull Ye Mingzhu over: "It's too dark, it's not good--" It's just that the tunnel is low, and when he leaned over, his head hit the top of the tunnel, like a sharp stone, which made his eyes stare, and he stretched out his hand to wipe it. Hey, blood was on his hands, "Where did you get the stone?"

Shao Jing casually raised the engineering shovel and shoveled upwards, only to hear a local sound, not like a stone, but rather like hitting some metal object.Shao Jing was startled, stretched out his hand to grope upwards, and suddenly raised his engineering shovel and chiseled vigorously.Maimai watched him digging for a few minutes in perplexity, and actually pulled a rectangular object from the top of his head. Regardless of the dirt, his face fell off, and he wiped the object vigorously with his sleeve a few times, and immediately pulled it off. There was a light golden luster in the ashes.Mai Mai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood: "This, this is the cover of the golden box!"

Shao Jing stared at the lid of the box for a few seconds, then turned around suddenly, picked up the engineering shovel and started digging wildly.Wheat also squeezed up and dug.The golden box cover, this is the golden box cover that Costin used to dig through the tunnel!Haidongqing can only discard this thing when the tunnel is dug through. Since the box cover is here, the front should be dug through soon!

Only the heavy breathing of the two could be heard in the space.The air quality is already too bad, breathing in it basically doesn't work, and the arms are as heavy as if they were filled with lead.There seemed to be a rock wall ahead, and the engineers could only shovel down a few pieces of gravel when they shoveled it down.Shao Jing was slightly better than him, but his speed couldn't get any faster. It was more like gnawing with his teeth than digging.The soil behind was gradually approaching, the Ye Mingzhu was buried under the soil, and no one had time to turn around to get it, the surroundings gradually darkened, like a tomb.

Mai Mai felt his head feel heavy and his eyelids drooped. He wondered if it was an illusion caused by lack of oxygen. He felt that Xi Yang had caught up to his feet and was slowly climbing up his calves.For a moment he doubted, can the front really be dug through?Could it be that Haidongqing found a better tool halfway through the digging, so he dropped the lid of the box?Or the front is really not far from digging, but their physical strength is not enough to support it?Will they die just one step away from the exit?

With a crash, a ray of light penetrated into the small dark space with fresh air.Shao Jing turned around in ecstasy: "Mai, it's done, it's done!"

Wheat looked up.The dug hole was about the size of a football, and was colored golden by the light, covering Shao Jing's head just like a round of Buddha's light, making his dusty face surprisingly handsome.Mai Mai jumped forward, hugged his neck, and kissed him thoughtlessly: "Come out, we're out!"

Shao Jing followed him, their lips were covered with mud, and they kissed eagerly without caring too much.It wasn't until Mai Mai was a little suffocated that he pushed Shao Jing away: "It's finally come out, I don't want to suffocate to death! Dig quickly, or the hole will die forever, right?"

The place where they stopped turned out to be only half a meter thick from the side of the dug-through mountain. At this time, the two of them were full of energy, and it took only 10 minutes to dig out the exit, dragging their backpacks and gold box lids to get out.Here is a small hillside, surrounded by dense shrubs, I don't know what species it is, the leaves have turned golden yellow, and there are small bright red fruits, which cover the entire hillside, and it looks very beautiful in the sunset.A little far away is a mountain stream, the water flow is small but crystal clear.Mai Mai ran over excitedly, scooped up cool water to wash her face and hair, then took a handful and splashed it on Shao Jing's face.He took a deep breath, feeling that the air was so fresh that it was a little sweet, but it wasn't enough.

Suddenly, Xiaomai felt something hugging his leg, and his excited body threw forward uncontrollably, and fell a dog eating shit.At the same time, there was a gunshot, and the wind sounded sharp in his ear, and the bullet almost flew past his head.Mai Mai glanced down in her busy schedule, only to see a pair of small hands disappearing in a blink of an eye: "Baby?"

Shao Jing reached out to drag the backpack.In order to dig the tunnel, they lightened the burden as much as possible, and only brought two pistols, which were still in the backpack.He had just grabbed the backpack when another bullet hit his feet, and a hoarse voice came from behind the tree: "Don't move! Put your hands up and step back!"

Wheat fell so badly that his knee was broken, he managed to stand up to look, and immediately drew a bullet: "Don't move too!" Xie Qi came out from behind the tree, holding a gun in his hand, pointing at Wheat for a while. Facing Shao Jing, "You are not allowed to move, whoever moves, I will kill him!" The clothes on his body were torn, and one ear was covered with blood scabs, which dried up on his face, so it was scary.

Shao Jing stood still and raised his hands higher: "We don't have any weapons on us, so you don't need to shoot." He really didn't expect that Xie Qi had escaped from the cave two days earlier and still hadn't left. Overwhelmed with ecstasy, his vigilance inevitably dropped, and he became passive.

Xie Qi wiped the bloody scab on the side of his face with his sleeve, and stared greedily at the night pearl on the backpack and the golden box lid next to it: "I never thought you would bring something good. What about the gold box? Where did you hide it?" ? Why is there only one Ye Mingzhu? Did you guys hide it? Tell me!"

Shao Jing said coldly: "The two of us escaped by digging a hole, do you think we would carry those heavy things with us?"

Xie Qi stared at him in disbelief, until he saw the not-closed hole on the hillside before he believed it: "This hole leads to that cave? Then you go back and get me the golden box and the night pearl!"

Shao Jing sneered: "Go back by yourself. Don't you have eyes? Can't you see that the hole is getting smaller? Let me tell you, the passages inside have been filled with soil, and the soil will grow."

Xie Qi couldn't believe it anymore.Shao Jing raised his chin: "Can't you see it yourself? How big is the hole now? Can the two of us get out?"

The hole has now returned to the size of a football. Obviously, even if the wheat is split in half, it is impossible to get out of such a small hole.Xie Qi carefully walked over to have a look, the inside was almost filled with soil, it looked like a small cave.Even though he thought it was unbelievable, after all he had gone through the adventure in the cave, he still had to believe it, and immediately spit out resentfully: "It's my bad luck, millions are gone. Okay, it's something, better than nothing! You two, take the lid of the box and the Ye Mingzhu, and go forward. Give me the backpack, be careful, don’t drop anything!" He opened the backpack while talking, took out the food and swallowed it, it seemed that the two I didn't find anything to eat for a long time, and I was so hungry.

Mai Mai got up from the ground, picked up Ye Mingzhu, and glanced at Shao Jing.He hasn't reached a populated place yet, Xie Qi needs them to move things, so he won't move them for the time being.But once he walks out of the underworld, he will definitely kill people to silence him, so what should we do?

Shao Jing pondered for a moment, then looked back at Xie Qi.Xie Qi stopped swallowing vigilantly, pointed his gun at him: "What are you looking at? Go!"

Shao Jing turned his head slightly, motioning Mai Mai to look at Xie Qi's face.Mai Mai looked over from the corner of her eye and found that Xie Qi's face was stained with blood again.When he just came out, there were dried blood scabs on his face. At that time, Xiaomai thought it was a wound on his face.But after he wiped it with his sleeve, there was no wound on the side of his cheek.But now there are blood stains on his face again, where did the blood come from?Mai Mai looked carefully for a while, and found that the blood seemed to be flowing from his ear. The blood did not come out quickly, and a small piece of blood spread slowly, and then slowly dried up on the side of his face. After being wiped off by him, it slowly bleeds again. Open--Xie Qi's ears are bleeding all the time!

Mai Mai recalled it, and remembered that Xie Qi was attacked by a snake when he was in the cave. At that time, a small snake flew past his face, and its sharp scales scratched his ear.But the wound was very small, why was it still bleeding after two days?

Xie Qi obviously didn't realize that he was bleeding all the time, but just wiped it randomly with his sleeve from time to time.He swallowed half of the remaining food in the backpack before stopping, pointing a gun at Shao Jing: "Do you know the way? Where are you going?"

Shao Jing rolled his eyes: "How did I know each other, aren't you a guide?"

Xie Qi became angry from embarrassment: "If I knew my way, I would have gone out long ago! No matter how I go to this ghost place, I will only come back. Is it some kind of ghost hitting the wall? Aren't you a celestial master? Hurry up and chant a curse!"

Shao Jing frowned and looked up at the sky.Calculated according to the time, it should be in the afternoon, when the sun is the most abundant, and there are obviously not many tall trees here, but the sunlight shining down is like dusk.Shao Jing pondered for a moment, took Maimai's Xuanyuan Mirror in his hand, and swayed it up and down, left and right, reflecting the sunlight.Xiaomai only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and the scene in front of him seemed to have changed suddenly, but he couldn't tell where the change was.Xie Qi pointed to a tree next to him: "Here, this tree has moved! It wasn't in this place just now! I walked by it three times, and I clearly saw it next to that stone--"

"This is the underworld, and the yin energy is so heavy that it becomes an illusion." Shao Jing put Xuanyuan Mirror in his arms lightly, "Let's go, you should be able to get out now."

Sure enough, after walking for three hours, the woods were sparse, and the mountain road in front of him could be seen from a distance suddenly leveling off, and the sunlight falling on that section of the road was also exceptionally bright. There was no doubt that it was the Yang Realm.

Shao Jing stopped suddenly, and Xie Qi immediately pointed his gun at him: "What are you doing?"

"Relieve." Shao Jing turned around expressionlessly, suddenly raised the lid of the golden box and threw it at Xie Qi.Xie Qi dodged to the side, and was about to shoot when Mai Mai also threw Ye Mingzhu in his face.Xie Qi instinctively reached out to pick it up, and Shao Jing had already pulled Mai Mai and quickly ran into the woods along the original path.

Xie Qi narrowly caught Ye Mingzhu, a layer of sweat broke out on his back, and when he went back to look for Shao Jing and Mai Mai, he could not find them.He looked at the cover of the golden box under his feet, then at the luminous pearl in his hand, and then at the Yang Realm not far away, so he stopped chasing people, put the luminous pearl into his backpack, and dragged the cover of the golden box to the outside of the woods. Walk.

Mai Mai and Shao Jing were lying in the bushes not far away, Mai Mai whispered: "You are too risky, what if he shoots?"

Shao Jing sneered slightly: "He only has this little treasure left, can he be willing to smash it? Now that the Yang world is in front of him, he can already walk out by himself, it doesn't matter whether he kills us or not. And we are running into the Yin world , he didn’t dare to follow in again. If he couldn’t get out by himself if he killed us, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket?”

Mai Mai was a little annoyed: "Let him run away! When we go out to meet Brother Shen and the others, we must arrest this guy!"

Shao Jing snorted: "Maybe you don't need Brother Shen yet, look!"

Xie Qi has already stepped out of the Yin Realm, and his whole body is bathed in the sunlight of the Yang Realm.At this moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand and scratched his ear, as if it was itchy.Mai Mai could see clearly, he just scratched it, but his ear fell off.

Xie Qi was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that the thing that fell was his ear.He looked down and unconsciously touched the original position of the ear with one hand.I saw that the fallen ears rotted as soon as they touched the ground, like fungus with blisters, and rotted into a ball of purple-black mucus in a few seconds.At the same time, the place where the ears originally grew also began to turn purple-black, and rapidly expanded towards the face.As soon as Xie Qi stretched out his hand, he touched a mass of mucus. The mucus stained his hands, and the skin on his hands also began to turn black and rot.When the sun fell on the wound, it sizzled and smoked slightly.Xie Qi howled and threw everything to the ground, and wiped his face with his hands like crazy.Mai Mai couldn't help turning her head away, only to hear the heart-piercing howl and then gradually weakened.In a few minutes, Xie Qi disappeared, leaving only a puddle of purple-black mucus on the ground, which gradually dried up under the sun.

"He, he is--" Mai Mai's voice trembled a little.

"Being poisoned by the snake venom in the Yin realm, when you reach the Yang realm, you will die at the sight of light." Shao Jing said coldly, after a short pause, he added four more words, "Whoever sends it dies."
