Li Muchan's heart ached sharply, and he felt a faint fragrance entering his nose. Suddenly, darkness surged in, sweeping over his entire mind, and he fell into coma in an instant.
When he woke up, he didn't open his eyes in a hurry. When he looked down with his eyes in the void, he saw that he was in a cave, so dark that he couldn't even see his fingers.
A touch of fresh water vapor came to my nose in waves, coming from the river not far ahead. There was also a faint fragrance in the water vapor.
He was lying on a piece of hay, with a woman sitting cross-legged next to her. She had a graceful figure. Although he was in the dark, he could still see clearly that this woman was Jin Qiaoqiao.
Li Muchan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that it was her who saved him. He thought it was someone from Xinghu Xiaozhu. It seemed that Xinghu Xiaozhu worked with her. He was really lucky!
He smiled bitterly to himself, and felt lucky that his life was finally saved. He secretly examined his injuries, and luckily the knife missed his heart.
At the critical moment, I moved a little, and the flying knife was shot close to my heart. If I hadn't moved, the knife directly penetrated the heart, then I would have been reincarnated now.
They both use flying knives, but although his own flying knives are ruthless, they are not as sophisticated as the old man. He uses the flying knives just like his own fingers, freely and without hindrance.
Although his flying knife is fast and fierce, it is a fatal blow, which is completely different from his.
With one's own body, tempered by the indestructible power of the Vajra, as long as one does not die directly and has his heart and head cut off, he can always heal on his own.
He looked down at the surroundings with his void eyes, and found himself in a cave on the mountainside.
There is a cliff above the head, and an unfathomable mountain stream at the foot. The mountain wall is as straight as a knife, and the cave is located halfway up. The outside of the cave is surrounded by green vines, covering the entrance of the cave. It is difficult for outsiders to discover the cave.
There was no one within five miles around, except for Jin Qiaoqiao. She was crossing her legs and regulating her breath. Her breathing was long and even, showing her profound internal strength.
Although he was curious about how she saved him, he did not wake up in a hurry. Instead, he began to enter samadhi, enter the picture of observing the sky and the gods, and began to recover his body.
When he came back from the Observation of the Gods and Gods photo, he only felt itchy on the left side of his chest. He wanted to scratch it hard, but he held it back. He was recovering and couldn't move.
He felt thirsty, moved slightly, opened his eyes and looked around, it was dark, and the outline could be vaguely seen.
"Are you awake?" Jin Qiaoqiao opened her big round eyes and shouted in surprise.
Li Muchan sighed and smiled bitterly: "Miss Qiaoqiao, you saved me, right?"
Jin Qiaoqiao came to his side and chuckled: "You are really lucky, just a little bit, your little life will be decided!"
Li Muchan sighed: "Thank you so much, Miss Qiaoqiao, for saving my life, I can't repay you for it!"
"No, no, you don't have to thank me. If you want to thank me, just go and thank Sister Su!" Jin Qiaoqiao waved her hands hurriedly.
******************************************
Li Muchan was startled and asked quickly: "Su Yunyun?"
"Yes, Sister Su asked me to save you!" Jin Qiaoqiao nodded.
Li Muchan frowned and tried to sit up with his arms. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his eyesight turned black, as if he was going to faint again.
He groaned and lay back down again. Jin Qiaoqiao stepped forward, gently held the back of his hand with her right hand, slowly helped him sit up, and said with a smile: "You can't move around. If the wound wants to heal, it won't take more than a month."
It won’t work.”
Li Muchan frowned and thought for a while, confused as to why Su Yunyun asked Jin Qiaoqiao to save him. Could it be that she guessed his identity?
This is of great importance. If she guesses her identity, things will be bad for Canghaishan. If Sanxiaotang catches up to Canghaishan, it will be a disaster.
"Are you injured too?" Li Muchan said suddenly.
Jin Qiaoqiao smiled sheepishly: "I didn't expect that old guy to be so powerful. After one slap, he suffered some internal injuries and is almost healed."
Li Muchan sighed: "It's hard for you."
Jin Qiaoqiao said: "You are also lucky. I was about to jump down while I was holding you, but I didn't expect there was a cave halfway up, so I happened to jump in."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "There is really no end to the road!"
He immediately outlined the situation at that time in his mind. Although Jin Qiaoqiao was strong in martial arts, he was no match for the old man. He hugged himself and escaped, and finally escaped here.
She didn't have her own Eye of the Void, and she might not be familiar with the terrain, so she finally ran to the edge of the cliff and had no choice but to fight the old man.
Her martial arts skills were no match for the old man's, so she failed in the end and had no choice but to die. When she jumped down with him in her arms, she discovered the cave and jumped in.
Jumping into this cave from mid-air is by no means an easy task, and she may be injured even more.
Thinking of this, Li Muchan sighed. He felt that this kind of kindness was too great and it would be difficult to continue thinking about it. He could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
"What are you doing by shaking your head?" Jin Qiaoqiao asked.
Li Muchan said: "Qiaoqiao, did Su Yunyun say anything?"
"Sister Su didn't say anything. She just asked me to take care of you. Don't let you be stupid and seek your own death. Help me at the critical moment." Jin Qiaoqiao shook her head.
Li Muchan understood that Su Yunyun had indeed guessed his identity and knew what he was going to do. He did not expect that she would have such an order, and he felt a little warm in his heart.
*******************************************
Li Muchan sighed: "Is your injury okay?"
"It doesn't matter, I won't die." Jin Qiaoqiao smiled.
Li Muchan said: "It's really hard to fall into this situation after being implicated by me..."
Jin Qiaoqiao smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang, please don't say this. Sister Su has given orders, how can I disobey you? If you really have any shortcomings, I will have no shame in going back to see Sister Su!"
Li Muchan said: "Su Yunyun has a very high status in Yuhan Palace?"
Jin Qiaoqiao was startled and said with a smile: "Sir, don't you know?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "I met her and didn't ask about her life experience. I only knew that she was from Yuhan Palace, but judging from her behavior, she didn't look like an ordinary disciple."
Jin Qiaoqiao thought for a while and said: "Sir, you don't know that Sister Su is the Young Palace Mistress."
"Hmm -?" Li Muchan raised his eyebrows, smiled, shook his head and sighed: "It turns out he is the Young Palace Master, no wonder..."
He had already guessed Su Yunyun's identity before, and now it was finally confirmed that Su Yunyun was indeed the Young Palace Master. From this point of view, his fate with her was over.
Li Muchan said: "Isn't the Palace Master unable to get married?"
"Well, the palace master cannot get married." Jin Qiaoqiao nodded.
"Why can't we get married?" Li Muchan asked.
Jin Qiaoqiao said: "Men are not good people. You can't believe it. If the palace master marries someone, he will be affected by her husband and lose his shrewdness."
Li Muchan laughed, laughed twice and coughed violently. Jin Qiaoqiao hurriedly channeled an internal force and carefully smoothed his breath.
Li Muchan tried his best to calm down his cough, shook his head and said with a smile: "It's really amazing! Who said this?"
"It's the words of our founder who built the palace." Jin Qiaoqiao said with a smile.
Li Muchan shook his head: "What do you think, Miss Qiaoqiao?"
Jin Qiaoqiao smiled and said: "I think what the founder said is reasonable, men really can't believe it!"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Qiaoqiao, beating a bunch of people to death with one stick is a bit too extreme, isn't it?"
Jin Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "I have met many men in Tanchun Tower, and I have the deepest understanding of men's virtues. I feel more and more that the founder's words are correct, men are not good things!"
Li Muchan touched his nose and shook his head silently.
Jin Qiaoqiao looked at him with a smile: "Are you not convinced, sir?"
Li Muchan sighed: "Miss Qiaoqiao has seen too many ugly faces of men. It's useless for me to say more."
Jin Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "Qiaoqiao also knows that there are always some good men in the world, but the opportunities you encounter are very few, so it's better not to expect too much!"
Li Muchan smiled and shook his head and said, "If we get married, will we no longer be the palace master?"
"Yes." Jin Qiaoqiao nodded and said, "If the palace master gets married, he will step down and will no longer be the palace master. This is the rule."
*******************************
Li Muchan was silent. He couldn't talk about his relationship with Su Yunyun, otherwise he would be implicated in Su Yunyun, which would make him uneasy.
Jin Qiaoqiao looked at him with a smile. After thinking for a while, she stopped her curiosity. She was really curious. Sister Su always treated men without pretense.
Unexpectedly, she asked for help for a man. For her, who was proud and proud, it was really unusual, just like the sun rising in the west.
She vaguely guessed that this Mr. Jiang was probably not just a friend, but also had a very close relationship. Otherwise, the young palace mistress would never ask for help at will based on her arrogance.
Previously, she thought that Mr. Jiang was quite young and there was nothing surprising about him. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be the one she had guessed.
But while she was escaping with him on her back, she felt that Mr. Jiang was not very old. His appearance might be due to the disguise technique, but he was actually a young man.
In this way, her guess was very close. This Mr. Jiang was actually the young palace master's sweetheart!
Regarding this speculation, she was shocked but also a little excited. She really didn't expect that the young palace master who was like a fairy would actually have a mortal heart!
If he hadn't been seriously injured, she would have taken advantage of his unconsciousness to find out his true identity and see what the young palace master's sweetheart was like.
"Sir, is your injury okay?" Jin Qiaoqiao asked.
She desperately wanted to ask about Li Muchan's relationship with the Young Palace Master, but she held it back, knowing that he would not tell her if she asked. For the sake of the Young Palace Master's status, he was afraid that he would not admit it.
Li Muchan nodded: "It's okay to rest for a while. How about you Qiaoqiao?"
The relationship between the two suddenly improved, and she was grateful for his survival, and Li Muchan was no longer polite.
Jin Qiaoqiao said: "I'll be fine if I meditate for a while. It's no big deal. Fortunately, there is a small river here, otherwise we will starve to death... Are you hungry?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "I'm not hungry yet, is there a way to escape?"
Jin Qiaoqiao sighed: "We can only use Qinggong to get out, and then slowly climb to the top of the cliff. We don't know how deep the cliff is, and we can't go down."
Li Muchan nodded: "As long as you have something to eat, let's heal your injuries first. Qiao Qiao, you'll leave first after your injuries are healed."
"Well, I'll go back and send a message first." Jin Qiaoqiao nodded.
She hesitated and asked, "Sir, did you kill Mr. Lin?"
Li Muchan nodded: "Well, when I left the city, Mr. Lin led people to block the road and insisted on killing me. I had no choice but to kill him!"
Jin Qiaoqiao smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, this is just a hornet's nest!"
Li Muchan said: "You can't just sit back and wait for death, right?"
"Oh... that's true. Mr. Lin is looking for death himself and he can't blame anyone else!" Jin Qiaoqiao nodded slowly. Although she thought that Lin Ping would cause trouble, she didn't expect it to be so soon.
*************************************************
She was just curious about what kind of amazing skills Mr. Jiang had that could actually kill Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin was also a good fighter, and not just anyone could be killed. Moreover, he was accompanied by two guards, both of whom were extremely skilled in martial arts.
Far better than ordinary masters.
Li Muchan sighed and shook his head: "Let's just heal the wounds. I don't know when they will stop."
"It won't be long. Once they can't find it, they won't be able to keep looking." Jin Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "Young master Lin is the young altar master. Master Lin will go crazy. Sir, please be careful."
Li Muchan said: "If I don't sit down and step into Baiyun City again, he will naturally not be able to find me."
Jin Qiaoqiao shook his head and said, "I'm afraid he will send people to chase you non-stop."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Don't pay attention, it depends on their abilities!"
The two talked for a while, and Li Muchan got a little tired, so he began to meditate and perform the exercises separately.
Li Muchan entered the picture of observing the sky and the gods, his body appeared on the lotus, bathed in the essence of the sun and moon, nourished the body, felt indescribably comfortable, and had endless wonderful taste.
When he woke up, a day had passed. He fell into meditation on the body. Time passed extremely fast, as if he had soaked in a hot spring. As soon as he opened his eyes, a day passed.
Jin Qiaoqiao had already stood up and was walking around in the cave. After Li Muchan woke up, he sat up. Although it was difficult, he was better than before.
"Qiaoqiao, is it better?" Li Muchan asked.
Jin Qiaoqiao turned to look over and smiled happily: "There are so many, the fish here are really wonderful, they seem to be able to increase your internal strength, try it!"
She said and handed over a bunch of fish, and Li Muchan took it and tasted it carefully. It was tender and fragrant, but not fishy at all. It tasted really good.
Three fishes entered the stomach, and soon a burst of hot air rushed out from the stomach, spreading in wisps all over the body. It was as warm as the spring breeze blowing, and the energy was greatly increased.
Li Muchan praised: "What a fish!"
Jin Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "Sir, let's eat one bunch first. Don't hold back after eating too much. I will bake more tomorrow."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Why roast it? Just eat it raw."
"That's not possible." Jin Qiaoqiao shook his head.
Li Muchan looked around and saw a small river not far away, flowing straight through the cave and into a small crack below, with a quiet and quiet sound.
Li Muchan frowned, this didn't seem to be a naturally formed cave.
"Qiaoqiao, this is the only place in the cave?" Li Muchan asked, putting down the wooden branch with the fish on it.
Jin Qiaoqiao nodded: "Yes."
Li Muchan said no more and said: "If Qiaoqiao recovers from his injuries, just leave early. Don't arouse people's suspicion and cause trouble for you."
Jin Qiaoqiao smiled and said: "I saved it, I can leave tomorrow."
The next day, Jin Qiaoqiao grilled more than a dozen skewers of fish, scooped some water and put it next to Li Muchan, which was enough for him to eat and drink for five or six days. After five or six days, he could get up and walk without relying on these.
At Li Muchan's urging, Jin Qiaoqiao left the cave uneasily. Li Muchan observed with the eyes of the void that she left safely, and no one was waiting above.
It seems that they have believed that they and Jin Qiaoqiao jumped off the cliff and died. There is no bottom under the cliff, and there is faint water vapor rising. It must be a big river.
If they jumped down, there would be no bones left. They would have been washed away by the river and would be difficult to find, so they just believed it.
After Jin Qiaoqiao left safely, Li Muchan was relieved and began to use the Observation of Heaven and Human Spirits Sutra. He remained in trance to speed up the repair of his injuries.
Within three or four days, he was able to get up and walk. He came to the river and saw the fish swimming inside.
These fish are quite spiritual. It may be that Jin Qiaoqiao kills them very hard. There are few fish, occasionally two or three, but they are black, the same color as the stones under the spring water, so it is difficult to find them.
It's not because Jin Qiaoqiao has good eyesight that he might not be able to catch these fish. They are spindle-shaped and extremely fast. They look lazy and their movements are like lightning.
Li Muchan stood by the one-meter-wide river, watching the river water pouring out of the cracks in the rocks and flowing into the cracks below. He always felt that there were traces of artificiality.
He stretched his arms, and the wound on his chest was no longer in the way. The effect of observing the sky, humans, gods, and scriptures was extraordinary, and it became more apparent at this time.
He decided to explore the cave and came to the stone wall due north. He stretched out his palm and knocked on it. He didn't notice anything strange, but his intuition told him that there was something wrong with this direction.
He thought for a while, took out his long sword, and made a sharp slash with the sword. There was a crisp "ding" sound, sparks flew away, and the long sword bounced away.
Logically speaking, this sword is enough to break through the stone and cut down two or three inches without any problem, but now it was bounced away without leaving any trace.
Li Muchan was surprised and reached out to touch it. He felt that the stone was extremely hard, as if it were made of iron. He had not noticed it before.
Li Muchan thought for a while, then activated his sword intent again, and struck down with a sword. The speed was not fast, but it was extremely powerful. The sword intent of this sword was stronger and more powerful.
"Ding..." Sparks flew everywhere again, and the long sword bounced further, almost missing. Fortunately, Li Muchan was prepared and released the strong elasticity in advance.
Li Muchan put down his long sword and thought for a while. He felt that if he could not attack hard, there must be a trick. He was even more sure that there was a mechanism on the wall and it was not an ordinary stone.
*********************************
He pressed his hands against the wall, closed his eyes slightly, and channeled his inner energy. Then he opened his eyes and looked at the stone wall in front of him in surprise.
After the internal force entered, he found it difficult to move even an inch and couldn't let go at all. His spirit was originally meant to be attached to the internal force and wander around, observing the reality of the stone wall, but now he naturally couldn't do so.
Li Muchan then stroked it little by little with his palms, closed his eyes slightly, and felt every inch of the stone wall with his palms, appreciating its differences.
The stone wall was very wide, and Li Muchan explored it bit by bit. It actually took him a day and a night to completely explore every part of the stone wall.
I touched every place, but there was still nothing strange, and no mechanism was found.
Li Muchan was curious and aroused his interest. This further showed that this stone wall was not simple. There must be something mysterious about it, but he just didn't realize it.
He relied on his intuition, coupled with the Eye of the Void, and his meticulous gaze, to go anywhere, but he hit a wall here, and he was extremely unconvinced.
He closed his eyes and recalled the situation of the stone wall he touched. The entire appearance of the stone wall flashed before his eyes, as if it was burned into his mind, extremely clear.
Sometimes, the touch of the palm was clearer than vision. He could see every shape of the stone wall, even the ups and downs, and the concavities and convexities, all with incomparable clarity.
He thought for a while, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. He used the palm of his hand to slap a palm above his head, and another palm at his knees, then to the left side, and then to the right side, and slapped a palm in each of the four directions.
, the inner strength is deep, making a loud sound.
"Rumble..." There was a muffled sound and the ground trembled. Li Muchan took a step back and looked up, only to see a round hole appearing in front of him.
It was about half a person tall. If you wanted to get in, you had to bend down and climb in. Li Muchan hesitated for a moment and smelled the air, which was fresh and full of moisture.
Li Muchan closed his eyes and thought for a while, then followed his intuition.
Then, he bent down and climbed in. The cave was winding and climbed for about ten meters. His eyes lit up. He slowed down and slowly moved forward until he came to a stone house.
This stone house is bright and soft, but there are several luminous pearls placed there, which illuminate the whole room.
Sitting on the stone couch in the middle is a middle-aged man, with handsome eyebrows and eyebrows, sitting with his eyes closed, his blue shirt with silver threads on it, shining brightly.
Li Muchan was startled at first glance, thinking that he was a living person and that he was an extremely skilled person, so he could hide it from his spiritual sense. However, when he took a closer look, he found that he had no breath.
He took a step forward and observed carefully. He saw that this person was lifelike, his face was lifelike, and his flesh and blood had not dried up, just like usual. He was curious, so he gently reached out and touched this person's hand.
It's cold to the touch, but smooth and fine, like silk and satin. It doesn't feel uncomfortable to the touch, and it's also elastic, just like real skin.
***************************
Li Muchan frowned and thought for a while. He didn't know who this person was. He had probably been dead for a short time, but he could still be alive and his body was immortal. It was really unusual.
Looking around, there are seven luminous pearls hanging on the roof, forming the shape of the Big Dipper. There is also a stone table and a small iron box on the table, which is dark and dull. Next to the iron box is a jasper wine glass. Opposite the stone table is a small pool.
It is about the size of a water tank, and the clear spring inside is like a mirror.
Li Muchan walked to the pool, and his face reflected in the water was still that of a middle-aged man.
He pondered for a moment, came to the iron box, stared at it cautiously for a while, closed his eyes for a while, then slowly stretched out his hand and opened the iron box.
He was afraid that there were some mechanisms in the iron box, but his intuition told him that it was very safe without these.
After opening it, inside the iron box was a yellowed silk book, thin, with only a dozen pages, and nothing else, it was clean.
Li Muchan did not rush to look at the silk book, but looked around. There was nothing else, a stone couch, a stone table, no bedding, and no daily necessities. It was really strange.
