The dark and damp cave was illuminated by Jun Lanyue's Divine Firmament Sword. A winding path stretched out into the unknown distance. Although Jun Linyue walked very slowly, his steps never stopped. On the other hand, Yang Xi'er, who was behind him, stopped after three steps, and then stopped after five steps.
Yang Xi'er's voice trembled as she asked him: "Hey, it's so cold in here, haven't you arrived yet?"
In order not to appear awkward, Jun Lin Yue summoned up his courage and said, "We'll be there soon." Just as they finished speaking, a staircase appeared in front of them. The steps were also covered with moss, but it was clearly much less than what they were currently standing on. From this distance, the steps looked even older.
The staircase was black, and it slowly extended towards the ground. Jun Linyue also looked back at Yang Xi'er, and took a step forward. In fact, Yang Xi'er could see that Jun Linyue didn't seem to be very familiar with this environment, but since he said that it would be different every once in a while, it shouldn't be wrong to compare them.
Thus, the two of them slowly moved forward with small thoughts in their minds.
He walked down the stairs. The first step, the second step, the third step … The rocks above his head jutted out in all directions, and water droplets hung down from them. Under the illumination of the Divine Firmament Sword, these droplets glittered brightly.
As they neared each other, Yang Xi'er could also hear Jun Linyue's heartbeat. "Putong! Putong!" At this moment, the two of them finally finished descending the stairs and let out a long sigh of relief. However, the scene before their eyes had completely stunned them.
In front of him was a karst cave, and around a platform formed by a large amount of rocks were slowly flowing water. However, the speed of this flow was extremely slow, so slow that it was almost impossible to see. The water was like a mirror, reflecting the rocks hanging from the ceiling.
Some of the stones were very long and some looked very strange, but there was not a drop of water on the stones above. The most important thing was that in the center of the water, at the top, there was a round hole. From the outside, there was a bright moonlight shining, illuminating the surroundings, making it seem dark and quiet.
Suddenly, with a 'bam' sound, a drop of the book fell onto the stone in front of him. The sound was so clear that it came close to them. Jun Lanyue felt that he had never heard the sound of a drop of water dripping down so clearly before. To think that there would be something in this one second of sound.
There was even less of a need to talk about Yang Xi'er. She closed her eyes and slowly savored the environment and sounds, as if she was drunk. Jun Lin Yue looked to his two sides, which were filled with uneven mountains and rocks. Not far from the surface of the water, there were a few round stone surfaces. Although they were not particularly flat, it was still very suitable for one person to meditate and cultivate atop them.
Could it be that this place was a place to cultivate in mystical arts? However, Jun Linyue also felt that something was amiss. In his impression, his eldest uncle wasn't like this.
But now, he couldn't care so much anymore. He held Yang Xi'er and slowly walked towards a stone platform that was caved into the mountain, that was the perfect place to rest. Looking back, there are many such grooves on the walls.
Jun Lanyue frowned. Was this for the coffin? Although he thought this way, he still couldn't tell Yang Xi'er about his thoughts. After all, scaring him wasn't good for him either.
With a "Pa" sound, another drop of water fell on the rock. But after making a slight mistake with time, he heard another light and distant drop of water fall into the pool. After a while, a thin and soft ripple slowly came from the mirror-like surface of the water.
Before the ripple could hit the pool, it lost its momentum and disappeared into the water.
One after another, they expanded and disappeared into the distance.
Yang Xi'er didn't care about these things. With the support of Jun Lin Yue, she sat down in the stone groove.
The length of the groove was very suitable for a person to lie in. However, it was much larger than a person's space. Both ends were roughly cut marks. It was extremely cold on the stone slab. After Yang Xi'er sat down, she couldn't take the cold any longer and stood up with the support of Jun Bluemoon.
Jun Linyue frowned as he surveyed his surroundings. There was nothing to rest on. Thus, he decisively took off his robe and placed it on top of his head.
Inside, he was wearing some silk and cloth clothing. It wasn't too cold. However, that purple marquis robe was extremely warm.
Yang Xi'er looked back at him laying down the bed, and smiled at herself foolishly, feeling extremely touched in her heart. At this moment, her body was still weak, and she stubbornly said to Jun Lin Yue: "I'm telling you, I usually … Available... It's not like that, I'm in good health, I... Jun Linyue … "Thank you."
Jun Lanyue laid her down with a smile on his face. "You're still being stubborn." "When you're well enough to rest, I'll treat your wounds. You're too weak right now, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it."
Yang Xi'er smiled as she closed her eyes. Her lips were pale, but her breathing was very even.
At this moment, it was as though Jun Lanyue could hear the sound of something shattering as it rumbled through the entire Azure Continent. He shook his head, but found nothing. Perhaps it was due to him subconsciously still being in the Black Tortoise Mansion, and he was extremely worried about whether or not Qingzhou City would be slept in by the three great sects. If that was the case, if he hid here and didn't fight against the enemies, even if the Azure Continent repelled the enemies in the future, he wouldn't have any right to speak.
If that was the case, then all his efforts along the way, including taking control of the entire Black Tortoise Mansion, would truly be in vain. However, he still calmly sat beside Yang Xi'er. The Divine Firmament Sword used its own profound energy to float in the air not far from them as a light source.
The entire cave was quite spacious. Although there was water all around, the grooves seemed wind-proof and warm. Yang Xi'er quickly fell asleep, and her body's vitality, as well as her mystical Qi, recovered very well.
In the blink of an eye, the night passed.
When he woke up in the morning, Yang Xi'er felt that the surroundings were quite bright. She slowly propped herself up on her arms and found that there wasn't just a single spot of light in the cave. Sunlight was flowing on the surface of the water.
Yang Xi'er took a deep breath and felt cool and comfortable. Looking around, she didn't see Jun Lin Yue, but around her, there were two layers of soft hay. Below her, there was also a thick layer of hay.
A warm feeling rose in her heart. At this moment, she tried to sit up, but her body felt like it was filled with lead. It pulled on her, causing her to feel very tired.
After struggling for a while, she gave up and sat on the warm "bed", quietly waiting.
