At this point, Sister Jenny was probably forced to have no room for maneuver by my words. She sighed and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn’t say anything. She just silently took a step back, expressing a certain kind of compromise.
At this time, Elder Bai looked at Sister Jenny and said: "Elder Ling, since Chen Chengyi is going to break into it by himself, what you just said about withdrawing from the Snow Mountain lineage was just a joke, right? Just kidding, right?”
Sister Jenny remained silent, but the leader suddenly said without thinking: "I never took it seriously. What did you ask her to do? I said she was the great elder of the Snow Mountain lineage, and she still dared to say no. ?”
Sister Jenny did not say no, but I was surprised. This cold old man I thought was actually so humane and a little bit cold-humorous? But Sister Jenny said to me at this time: "Chengyi, it is true that a firm determination to control one's own destiny is an unbreakable force. You must be careful... I will not accompany you to the underground cave. If you can survive When you return, I have a 'big gift' for all of you."
After saying this, Sister Jenny paid no attention to anyone, but turned around and walked towards the bottom of the stairs.
At this moment, Master, who looked a little haggard, suddenly stood up and said: "All of you, please follow Sister Jenny. She may have been in ups and downs many times today. Chengyi and I can't comfort her, so please give her some comfort. In my memory, she is actually a crybaby and fragile... It is always good to have more comfort. As for Chengyi, it is enough for me to accompany him alone."
"How is that possible?" Young Master Xiao was the most excited.
"Well, I have to follow my brother..." "I have to follow my brother..." Hui Gen'er and Qiangzi's excitement was not much different from that of Xiao Dashao.
At this moment, Brother Chengqing came over calmly. He, who was never good at expressing feelings, suddenly hugged me and said in my ear: "I won't go. You have three strengths and two weaknesses. I saw I’m sad, and I don’t know what I will do when the time comes. But I, Lao Li, have a heavy responsibility. Even if there is only one left, I have to continue. From now on until the end of the war, I have to cherish myself... Because I always want to I have to finish what I have done. I am actually thinking that if I am the unfortunate one left after finishing it, I will go to accompany you, no matter how many karma debts I have."
After saying this, Brother Chengqing let go of me, and turned back to the crowd calmly... He has always been like this, the most calm and calm one among us, or the second line of fortune telling, destined to count and see, or How can they see their fate clearly without being indifferent and bystanders
But this time, although Brother Chengqing's tone was so light, the meaning behind his words, the deep friendship, was self-evident... I am willing to bear the cause and effect of suicide and reunite with us! This is what he wanted to express... I just discovered that there is a volcanic side in Chengqing's heart that I never knew... Suddenly, I felt how much I longed for stability in this world, to understand the deeper things in the hearts of the people I love. ah.
"I think what I want to express is the same as Brother Chengqing. In fact, why is it difficult to live and die together? It's just that I can't do it now, and I am more willing to believe in you and Uncle Jiang." The smile on Brother Chengxin's face was warm and relaxed... . You have seen your direction clearly and know how to go no matter what, so you can have such a smile.
After Brother Chengqing and Brother Chengxin, no one said goodbye to me. Girls always cry easily. Ruyue, Chengyuan, and Chengzhen were already crying, but they didn’t want to cause any burden to me, so they retreated silently. Behind the crowd, the only calm person was Grandma Ling Qing. She suddenly held Master's hand, looked at me with a smile, and said: "I always trust Li Chun, so, Chengyi, wait Come back, don’t take too long.”
As for the other elders, at this time, they could not show any sloppiness or question my and Master's emotions. They all just said a simple sentence, waiting for you to come back. However, the various emotions revealed in his eyes are profound.
The most excited guys were all 'subdued' by the elders of the division. Finally, Lu Shan and Tao Bo were left. Tao Bo was a little anxious, shy and didn't know what to express... so he was anxious. , as for Lu Shan, he just said one sentence to me: "Chengyi, remember your agreement with me."
"Yeah." I nodded heavily, and he had expressed enough.
"Let's go." At this time, the head of the Snow Mountain Lineage actually took the first step, and Elder Bai followed behind... And my master and I almost didn't hesitate anymore, and followed the steps of the head of the Snow Mountain Lineage towards Walk down below.
At this moment, I suddenly thought of something, turned around and looked at everyone, and asked: "Where are Surou and Qinhuai?" They are not members of the circle of cultivators, and they are destined not to participate in these disturbances. The Snow Mountain lineage is also normal... But in this situation where I might die in the next moment, I always feel regretful if I didn't see them, so it's good to ask.
"They are in a safe place." Because it was too hasty, no one gave me any specific answer, but Master Chen stood up and said that.
I nodded, turned around and left... In fact, I still care about my family, but they are also ordinary people and should be very safe.
As for, there is another person, I really want to see her right now... But, how is that possible? If I die soon... in the Dragon Tomb, which is truly isolated from the world, will she sense it and shed a drop of tears for me? It's a pity that I can't wipe it off for her
---------Dividing line---------
I didn't expect that Master and I would be taken to a place that I was very familiar with.
That was the cave where the Fish Leaping Dragon Gate Conference was held... The leader walked in front, Elder Bai walked at the end. The footsteps of the four of us echoed in this empty venue, and I was in a trance.
I seem to still see the excitement of that day, I saw my high spirits when I defeated Zhang Han that day, I saw myself being bullied by the masters of the four major forces, I saw the people who came out to support me, I saw...
Nowadays, the venue is deserted, and all that can be seen are rows of empty seats, and the lifelike images of mythological stories and stories from the Chinese "Book of Mountains and Seas" carved around them.
Looking at these reliefs, my heart trembled inexplicably... I felt an ancient and tragic atmosphere coming towards me. It was similar to the first time I saw it, but completely different. It was the first time I saw me. I felt the weird pressure and thrilling feeling were heavier... And the second time, I also felt the vicissitudes of time.
It was difficult for me to explain how I felt in my heart, but I heard the somewhat cold voice of the leader of the Snow Mountain Lineage come into my ears. He said to me: "If I were you, I'd better not watch what I shouldn't. Now meditate with all your strength and prepare to break into the underground secret cave."
"Yes." Although I was surprised in my heart, I responded calmly on the surface and withdrew my gaze... What should not be seen? Could it be that if it is carved, it is not meant for others to see
When we were suspicious, we had already passed a side door on the side of the venue and walked into a downward staircase.
As soon as I stepped on the stairs, I felt a different aura. This feeling was so familiar. When I came here for the first time, I subconsciously thought that there must be something underground! Yes, I have been here. I once took a small test here and survived ten minutes in a cave full of ghosts!
I didn't expect that my life and death test would be here... Actually, I would have to pass a test here again, and this time it was no longer a small test!
In my memory, the last time I walked down less than ten meters, I stopped at the first platform... But this time, since the test is so severe, I should keep moving downward. Going in depth
The leader walked down silently, and I had no choice but to follow. It was difficult to ask these questions... But what I didn't expect was that he actually took us to the first platform again!
This place is still the same as before, a closed cave with a small cabin next to the cave. The cabin is also the same as that day, with the windows and doors closed, making it difficult to see what's going on inside.
"Go in, just say that you are here to break into the underground cave, and someone will naturally tell you what to do." When we got here, the leader stopped, looked at the small room, and said to me.
I thought of the old man guarding the hut that day, grumpy and unpredictable... Could it be that he was the one who told me everything
Thinking about it, I walked towards the hut, but Master called me from behind me. I stopped and looked at Master... Master signaled me to wait a moment, then turned to look at the leader and asked: "Where should I wait for my apprentice?"
