Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 464
Li Wenxuan didn't have any evil thoughts at this time. He really wanted to give Mingzhu medicine very simply. Squeezing Mingzhu, Mingzhu who had finally calmed down let out a shriek, ashamed and indignant, naturally a wave of fists greeted her.

The two frolicked for a while, but in the end, Li Wenxuan spread his hands and was hammered several times by Mingzhu, Mingzhu finally calmed down, and soaked a pair of white and tender feet in the hot spring, looking at the cave that almost swallowed him just now, He said casually, "It would be great if the cave could lead down to the mountain."

Mingzhu's unintentional words made Li Wenxuan's eyes light up. If this cave can really be connected to the bottom of the mountain, even if it can only reach halfway up the mountain, wouldn't the two of them be able to avoid the siege on the mountain without anyone noticing it? The Xixia soldiers, just get away?At that time, even if there are several times more Xixia soldiers on the mountain, they will be helpless.Thinking of this, Li Wenxuan was elated, clapped his hands and said, "Mingzhu, wait for me! I'm going to go down and have a look, this cave might be your life gate!"

For Li Wenxuan's excited reaction, Mingzhu was taken aback for a moment. She didn't quite believe it. After all, she was frightened just now. To say that this cave could allow her to get away from Li Wenxuan, she couldn't help but feel a little whimsical, because although this small mountain is not It’s too high, but it’s just such a cave that popped up out of nowhere. As for where it eventually leads, it’s really not sure, but seeing Li Wenxuan’s high spirits, it’s not easy to spoil his interest, so he can only nod his head and follow along. Li Wenxuan went to the side to check.

At this time, because of an extra cave below, the water level in the hot spring has dropped a lot.Li Wenxuan dived into the water again, took a closer look at the situation around the cave, and found that the stone walls around the cave entrance were very thin. With a little force from Li Wenxuan's palm, he immediately broke off a palm-sized stone from the side, and the cave entrance also became larger. Li Wenxuan didn't stop. After a few moments, the entrance of the cave was already quite spacious, almost twice as big as before, which was enough for him to walk in parallel with Mingzhu, and looked down under the dim light. Spacious, it should be more than enough for a person climbing down the rock cave.

Li Wenxuan was very happy, as if the escape route was in front of him, he pulled Mingzhu and said, "Maybe we can escape, after the water level goes down, how about you and I go down this cave?"

Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said: "This stone cave...is it a little... so dark, and it's so far from here to the bottom of the mountain. It's indeed spacious at the top, but maybe it will be very narrow at the bottom. It is okay for us to pass through, and the bottom is narrower. We can use weapons to widen it, but if the bottom is directly blocked, it will be bad. I think we should forget it and climb up here. In two days, maybe there will be a turning point for the Xixia soldiers."

Mingzhu's worries are not superfluous, after all, no one is sure what will happen in such a deep cave, Li Wenxuan also nodded slightly, but after thinking about it, he said: "I know your worry is not unreasonable, but you and I Trapped here now, to be honest, if I rush out of the cave, I have no confidence at all, and the Xixia soldiers have not relaxed or reduced their manpower in the past these days, so if we continue to stay, I am afraid After all, we will be trapped here to death, but now we accidentally discovered this hole, maybe it is a passage? Even if there is a dead end below, it can't be worse than the situation you and I are in right now? Since this is already a Jedi, So it’s good to give it a try, at least there is hope of getting out, otherwise it’s really just waiting to die.”

"This..." Mingzhu rubbed her little hands, hesitated to speak, and still hesitated. Knowing that she was afraid, Li Wenxuan took her to his side, took her hand and said in a warm voice: "Don't be afraid, at worst, I will go down to explore the way first. If the following If it works, how about calling you up again?"

"No!" Mingzhu replied very simply this time: "Absolutely not like this, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to go up and down here, and the traces of the spring water in the cave don't appear only in the past two days, but seem to have been accumulated for many years. The traces accumulated must be very smooth, and it is not easy to go down just once, if you go back and forth, if... if there is something bad or bad in the middle, what will you do if you call me?"

"Then what do you think we should do?" Li Wenxuan asked with a wry smile.

Mingzhu sighed, and said: "Forget it, you are my man, no matter what you do, I will follow you, even if there is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den down here, I will walk with you, even... even if we die, we will die together !"

Li Wenxuan patted Mingzhu on the forehead lightly, then rubbed her face lovingly, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, we are going down to make a living, what is dead, it's unlucky, if you talk nonsense again, I'll kill you." You are punished."

"Bah, bah, bah..." Mingzhu also smiled, and said, "Okay, when shall we go down? I'll just listen to my husband."

Li Wenxuan looked at the water flow in the cave. At this time, the water in the hot spring was still pouring into the cave, because there were still springs flowing out from the side, the water flow in the cave was still relatively fast for a while. Going down the cave, I was afraid that it would be slippery, so I said: "Don't worry, you and I will take a good rest for a while, get enough energy, and then go down, but before going down, I will go outside the cave for an interview. Live well, at least within three to five days, there will be no idea of ​​entering the cave to investigate. These are also the spare time left for you and me after going down the mountain. With two days of work, we can make them never find it again. To you and me."

"Mm! I'll listen to you!" Mingzhu nodded with great confidence.

The cave is relatively dark, and the stone cave under the hot spring is even more black, so dark that you can't see your fingers.So for Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu, there is no such thing as day and night, anyway, no matter when they go down, it is always dark.Immediately rested for about two or three hours, looking at the sky outside the cave, it should be noon, Mingzhu wrapped the remaining dried meat, wound medicine and some odds and ends in the cave, and tied them on her body, Li Wenxuan Then they went outside the cave again to try to break out of the siege. When the Xixia soldiers saw Li Wenxuan, they naturally rained arrows down again.

This time, Li Wenxuan only wanted to let Xixia soldiers see that he was still alive and well, so that he could give Xixia soldiers a few days to spare after going down the mountain, so that Xixia soldiers would find out later that he and Mingzhu had left the cave, so he did not do anything to go out this time. Desperately planning, he just showed his face at the entrance of the cave, and the Xixia soldiers shot some arrows, and then retreated.

At this time, Mingzhu also took care of everything, and the water level in the hot spring had almost dropped to the bottom, only a very thin stream of water remained slowly along the cave.

No matter how long you wait on it, the flow of water will not stop, after all, there is a spring next to it that keeps flowing out.So the two didn't hesitate anymore, Li Wenxuan tied the Qingshuang Sword around his waist, and took a step forward, followed by Mingzhu. The distance between the two was less than two feet. Put it on the bottom, even if Mingzhu is a little careless, at least it won't cause her any danger.

The stone walls in the cave are indeed very smooth. The raised stones have become extremely round after years of washing by the spring water. They are no more angular than the stones on the cliff, and a thick layer of stone has grown on the surface. The moss, when grasped with one hand, is sticky and slippery, a little disgusting or not, the key is that it doesn't take much effort, as soon as you reach out and grab it, it will slide to the side, and there is almost no place to focus on the entire stone wall.

As soon as Li Wenxuan entered the cave, he almost slipped and slipped, which shocked Li Wenxuan. Unexpectedly, the situation in this cave was much more difficult than he expected.

Mingzhu was very close to Li Wenxuan from above, but because the light in the cave was too poor, he couldn't see Li Wenxuan's situation below. However, Li Wenxuan almost missed a few times, but the rustling movement in the cave was very real. He said: "Li Lang, what's the matter, is it... Could it be that the water hole is not working, if it is really not working, we might as well go back."

Li Wenxuan took a deep breath, and said slowly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a slip of the hand, it's okay."

The two walked down a few feet. Compared to Li Wenxuan, Mingzhu walked much more easily. It didn't mean that Zhu was more capable than Li Wenxuan, but because Mingzhu's body was light and she didn't bear as much force as Li Wenxuan.Hearing Li Wenxuan's movement below, Mingzhu became more and more worried, and said, "No, let's change, you are on top, and I will open the way ahead!"

"No!" Li Wenxuan answered very simply. Mingzhu wanted to come down and change to the front with Li Wenxuan, but Li Wenxuan leaned his body and stopped her in the middle, saying nothing. Shen slides down and hits Mingzhu, but Mingzhu can't bear it.

The two walked down the road like this, Li Wenxuan missed several times, bumped and bumped a few times in the cave, but fortunately, the stones in the cave are round, Li Wenxuan felt that he must have bumped a lot on his body There are bruises, but there shouldn't be any serious scratches, so I don't really care about it. After all, compared with such a possible way out, the bumps on the head are nothing.

It's just that this made Mingzhu tremble on the top, for fear that Li Wenxuan would slip, and it would be terrible if he fell directly, and his life might be in danger.

Li Wenxuan groped forward, turned his head and looked up from time to time, and could still see the faint light in the cave above. Only then did he realize that the cave was almost straight up and down, but as he went down, the cave was wide and narrow at times, and the narrowest It is difficult for one person to pass through, so you can only wave your sword and break the rocks. Fortunately, the Qingshuang Sword is very sharp, and it is not too much trouble to break the rocks to open the way.

The two walked down for a while, and Li Wenxuan stopped suddenly. Mingzhu couldn't see the situation clearly from above, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is there no way down?"

Li Wenxuan shook his head and said, "It's not that there is no road, but...but the road is too wide."

"Too spacious?" Mingzhu didn't know why.

Li Wenxuan stretched out his feet to touch the surrounding stone walls, and then said: "The cave below is much wider than the place we passed above. Even if you open your arms, you can barely reach the sides, but in this way, You can only stay in the middle of this place, if you want to go down step by step, it is a bit difficult."

The two of them were silent for a while, although the cave was pitch black, but feeling the distance they traveled, I am afraid that they have already reached the halfway up the mountain, and it is not easy to turn back now, but they still meet in front of them. In such a situation, whether to advance or retreat is indeed embarrassing.

Sensing Li Wenxuan's silence, Mingzhu walked down the stone wall a little bit, because she was a little anxious, and she wasn't too careful about her footing. Unexpectedly, a box just stepped on the back of Li Wenxuan's hand. It was already too late for Li Wenxuan to stop here. It was very difficult, Mingzhu's kick immediately made Li Wenxuan let go of his hand, and then fell down with a cry.

The situation changed so suddenly, Mingzhu didn't expect it to be like this, felt that Li Wenxuan fell down, Mingzhu just thought that if he had something good or bad, she would die, let alone because of her own carelessness, she didn't care about it. With so much, he immediately let go of his hands and followed Li Wenxuan to fall down. As for what would happen after falling, he couldn't even think about it so much.

Li Wenxuan was even more terrified at this time. He reached out his hand several times to grab the stone wall next to him, but the round stone was too smooth. He couldn't stop, and he heard Mingzhu shouting his name from above, and he could clearly feel that Mingzhu was also falling down with him.

Seeing that they couldn't stop, if they kept falling like this, at least the two of them would have broken tendons and fractures. Li Wenxuan kept kicking on the stone wall, on the one hand, he wanted to slow down the force of his fall, and on the other hand, he wanted to take advantage of it. In order to get a chance, if I borrow enough strength from my feet, I just need to stop for a while, and then Mingzhu bumps into her and pushes her, at least it can prevent Mingzhu from being seriously injured when she falls.

It's just that the stone wall is smooth and spacious. Li Wenxuan either kicked the air again and again, or slid over the stone wall, and finally stepped on a larger stone mountain. After finally waiting for an opportunity, Li Wenxuan never dared to miss it. , stepped on it hard, and his figure immediately stopped in the middle, but before Li Wenxuan jumped up, he felt the wind whistling around him, and the pearl had fallen beside him.

"Catch me!" Li Wenxuan shouted.

At this time, the surroundings of the two of them were pitch black, and they couldn't see each other's situation at all. As for whether the other party was facing him or his back was facing him, it was all based on guesses and voices.

Mingzhu heard Li Wenxuan's call, and hurriedly responded, and felt that her back should be facing Li Wenxuan now, and she wanted to pull him sideways, but she had nowhere to turn, and Li Wenxuan was the same at this time, also out of reach Pearl.

But by coincidence, neither of the two could pull the other, but there was a bang, and the backs of the two unexpectedly leaned together. It would have been nothing if they just bumped into each other like this, but because of the sound coming from Li Wenxuan's feet, With all the strength, under the collision of the two, Mingzhu's body was immediately forced to hit the opposite stone wall.

Although she couldn't see her eyes, Mingzhu also knew that if she hit her head like this, she might have a bloody head, so she immediately used her hands and feet to firmly support the opposite stone wall. At the same time, Li Wenxuan was not idle, and also supported her The stone wall on his side.

Just like this, the two of them supported the stone wall on their side back to back and slid down for more than ten feet. The castration finally stopped, followed by a sigh of relief, and they were silent for a moment, but Li Wenxuan laughed. , Said: "You shouldn't die, you can't even die like this."

Mingzhu was also in shock, and whispered: "Li Lang, I'm sorry, if I hadn't stepped on you just now...it wouldn't be like this."

Li Wenxuan didn't care, and said, "If you don't step on me, we'll still be stuck on it now."

"You...you don't blame me?" Mingzhu asked.

Li Wenxuan sighed softly, and said: "Mingzhu, you are my wife, and you still say these unreasonable things, don't you make me sad?"

"I..." Mingzhu's heart warmed, and she said, "Okay, I won't talk about it in the future." Then she also laughed.

The two maintained a seemingly awkward movement, rested for a while, and then Li Wenxuan counted the rhythm, moving down step by step, very regular, and walked for almost a cup of tea. The cave below It finally narrowed again, and there was no need for two people to walk down with back-to-back postures.

Here the two paused for a while, Mingzhu took out some dried meat, and the two shared food to replenish some energy, and then continued to walk down.

Afterwards, the road went unimpeded. Although the stone wall was slippery, it was not a major obstacle, at most there were only two bumps. Compared with the previous part of the journey, it was much better, and at least there would be no danger of life.

The cave was dark and dark, and Li Wenxuan couldn't figure out where he was now. He just felt that he had spent a lot of effort. When he looked up before, he could still see a glimmer of light at the entrance. Looking at it now, it might be Because the cave is too deep, or is blocked by rocks, there is no light at all.Even the bright pearl that is close at hand is able to distinguish the direction by sound.

After walking a short distance, Li Wenxuan suddenly stopped listening, and put his ears on the stone wall to listen carefully. Mingzhu felt that Li Wenxuan stopped moving, and hurriedly asked: "Li Lang, what's the matter, is there something wrong with the road below?"

"No... there is a sound below, it seems to be the sound of water, the sound of water flow!" Li Wenxuan said while listening.

Mingzhu also leaned against the stone wall and listened, confirming that Li Wenxuan's voice was true, and then said: "There is the sound of water flowing here, so isn't it below..."

Li Wenxuan suddenly smiled and said, "Do you still remember the small river we passed before going up the mountain?"
