Killing God

Chapter 57Search

The violent storm still has no intention of stopping. The dark clouds in the sky are gathering and drooping. It looks like ferocious beasts roaring and roaring at the world. .

Herring Six Island is specially developed by the Lingxiao Sect for new disciples, including past Qi-refining disciples, to live and practice. In addition to the large number of Qi-refining disciples, there are also a large number of Lingxiaozong's direct disciples stationed here on the island.The worst Taoism of these direct disciples has also been cultivated to the Yuan Condensation Realm, and there are even a few outstanding people who have already cultivated to a further level of spirituality. Even within the Lingxiao Sect, they are already not to be underestimated characters.

Among the many direct disciples, Wang Gen, who is now the most powerful and one of the "Three Swords of Ling Xiao", is naturally the head. In fact, Wang Gen was indeed appointed by the sect to preside over the Six Islands of Herring. All matters big and small.In addition to Wang Gen, there are also many outstanding disciples of the Lingxiao Sect on this Herring Island. Some of them assist Wang Gen in handling various affairs on weekdays, some are assigned by many important disciples of the Lingxiao Sect to handle newcomer tasks, and some People were appointed by the sect to guard some important places on the six islands of Qingyu, with various purposes, but at this moment, except for a few important places that cannot be separated from people, all the direct disciples on Qingyu Island have already passed on. Summoned by Wang Gen to the Herring Jixuanyue Hall.

Even apart from these direct disciples of the high-level gods, even the disciples of the Qi Refining Realm who have not yet broken through their cultivation on the island, many of them were called over by the strong wind and rain.

The hall of Xuanyue Hall is full of people at the moment, including many direct disciples. This scene is very rare after the opening of Qingyu Island. Many Lingxiaozong disciples who know each other but are separated They all stood together in twos and threes, looking around each other, talking in whispers.

As for the main seat in front of the big house, Wang Gen, who is the focus of everyone's attention, has a stern expression on his face, and his usual calm and majestic appearance seems to be even more faintly aggressive today. Many of his personal disciples It was a little shocking, not to mention those young disciples who were not noble and in the qi refining state. In fact, they still haven't figured out why Wang Gen suddenly called these dozens of them to come to Xuanyuetang.

Wang Gen is tall and burly, standing there is naturally the focus of the crowd, imposing. At this moment, he is standing by a table that has been moved temporarily. There is a large picture spread out on the table in front of him, which looks like the topography and orientation of Herring Island. Jian Tu kept waving his hands to call people up, usually his direct disciples who were above the Yuan Condensation Realm, and then he drew a range on the map one by one and told them to go and search for someone.

The personal disciples who were called all nodded and agreed. Although the storm was raging outside, for them whose Taoism was above the Condensation Realm, as long as they didn't really fall into the center of the storm that was said to contain the huge power of heaven and earth, the wind and rain outside the ordinary Big waves, in fact, did not pose much threat to them.

In addition to Wang Gen who was frowning coldly and meticulously arranging the arrangements one by one, Zheng Zhe also stood beside him, telling his fellow disciples who came over from time to time.In addition, there were two other direct disciples standing beside them, but neither of them said a word. Wang Gen ignored their intentions and let them stand beside them from the very beginning. Both are ugly.

Under the Xuanyue hall, there were many direct disciples who had not been called there whispering and talking in low voices, one of them whispered: "What's the matter with Zhong Qingshan and Xu Baichuan in the hall, they have been standing there On the other side, you still have a black face like someone dead at home?"

Someone nearby sneered, and said, "Nonsense, the one who lost this time is the new disciple under the formation hall. Senior brother Wang Gen is furious, so there is no good fruit for the two of them to eat."

The other Lingxiaozong disciple standing with the two of them looked shorter, but it was the disciple surnamed Lin who made a mistake when he posted the storm notice in front. At this time, he glanced forward, clicked twice, and said : "It looks like they were taught a lot by Senior Brother Wang Gen."

The disciple who spoke first looked at it, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Lin Hu, didn't you meet Senior Brother Wang Gen this morning? After such a big battle, I think ten out of ten of the direct disciples on the whole island have been called here to find someone?"

The others snorted, and said: "You are stupid, don't forget that in the past, all the elders and uncles in the sect presided over the affairs on this Qingyu Island. Only from this year, the sect has decided to let our generation An outstanding disciple from the school came to preside over the affairs of Qingyu Island. This is the first time that something has never happened before, and if it were you, you would be so angry that you can't stand it!"

The person who spoke first suddenly realized, nodded and said, "So that's the case, I forgot about this one." After finishing speaking, he seemed to have remembered something again, and secretly glanced at Wang Gen in front of him, with a look on his face. Quietly, with a slightly strange expression on his face, he whispered to the two people beside him, "By the way, I still remember that some senior brothers and sisters in the sect fought openly and secretly for a long time in order to fight for this position. ?”

Lin Hu chuckled, with a bit of sarcasm on his face, and said: "Who says it's not, the three of Ling Xiao Three Swords, I heard that they are all interested in this position, and senior brother Sun Hongsun's reputation is extremely high. Needless to say about family background, I was very enthusiastic a while ago, but in the end the head teacher still chose his own disciple, Senior Brother Du. But after all, Senior Brother Wang Gen was lucky, it was clearly a certainty However, Senior Brother Du did such a wrong thing and angered the real person in charge, so this matter fell on Senior Brother Wang's head."

The disciple of the Lingxiao Sect next to him smiled and said: "Nowadays, no one in the sect knows that the head teacher values ​​practical work the most, plus the position of presiding over the affairs of Qingyu Island, waiting for the new and outstanding juniors and sisters in the future With the friendship of a half teacher, both connections and prestige, plus the name of the younger generation who is the first choice to preside over major events, the status of senior brother Wang in the sect will definitely rise in the future, and no one can stop it. But who knows, it will appear this kind of thing..."

Lin Hu next to him sneered again, and was about to say something, when Wang Gen suddenly called out, "Lin Hu."

Lin Hu's body was shocked, and the expression on his face instantly changed to a respectful expression. He ran to Wang Gen's side in a short trot, with a cautious and respectful appearance, which made the two Ling Xiaozong disciples behind him a little stunned. One said: "Hey, Lin Hu, his face changes really fast."

Wang Gen didn't talk nonsense with Lin Hu either, he directly pointed out a beach on the map for him to search immediately despite the wind and rain, Lin Hu readily agreed, Wang Gen nodded and went to call the next personal disciple, Lin Hu Just as he was about to leave, he was grabbed by Zheng Zhe, who was standing beside him, and gave him a few careful instructions.

After ordering them one by one, Wang Gen dealt with them quickly and meticulously. He quickly arranged all the direct disciples and asked them to go out to look for them. Almost all of them are disciples of Qi Refining Realm.

These people are not rookie disciples who just entered the island this year, but old disciples who entered the island to cultivate before but have not yet made a breakthrough. When they were on the island, Ling Xiaozong arranged for the newcomers to be those who supervised the senior brothers.

Wang Gen turned his head and looked at the crowd with a stern face and stern eyes. Frightened by him, everyone lowered their heads for a moment, but no one dared to look at Wang Gen.

Wang Gen didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "You are all senior brothers who have the responsibility of supervising and guiding. Now go to the Baiyuwan Newcomer Cave Mansion, knock open the cave mansion one by one, and check all the newcomer disciples under your respective names. If there are missing people, come and report to me immediately!"

At the end of the sentence, his tone was already a bit harsh.

Everyone quickly agreed, and they didn't care about the heavy wind and rain outside, they all rushed out and headed for the White Fish Bay.

※※※

In the Xuanyue hall, everyone gradually dispersed, including Zhong Qingshan and Xu Baichuan, who had been standing beside Wang Gen with dark faces before, also went out to search with them. In the big room, only Wang Gen and Zheng Zhe were left. people.

It was at this time that Wang Gen's expression relaxed a bit, showing a bit of exhaustion. He rubbed his brows and sat down on the chair, but the deep anxiety on his face was still lingering. go.

Zheng Zhe walked to his side and said softly: "Senior brother, you sent people to Baiyu Bay, is it because you are afraid that besides Zhong Qingzhu, other new disciples will also get lost?"

Wang Gen nodded, and said: "I was negligent in the first place. I only looked at those entrances, but forgot that there were mostly children from aristocratic families there. Tasks, in case I missed a few..." After finishing speaking, his face became gloomy again.

Zheng Zhe didn't know what to say for a while, he hesitated for a while, but still comforted him: "No one who can worship into the sect to practice is not a fool. Ordinary people will go back to the cave early to avoid the wind and rain, senior brother Don't worry too much."

"Don't be afraid of [-], just in case." Wang Gen let out a breath slowly, feeling a little depressed, and suddenly clapped the back of the chair beside his hands, and said in a hateful voice, "That Lin Hu is such a waste, even a small notice is worth it." If you don’t do well enough to cause such a disaster, after this time, you must be punished.”

The corners of Zheng Zhe's mouth twitched, and he mourned for that Lin Hu for a moment in silence. He was still thinking about whether he should bite the bullet and beg for Lin Hu's mercy again, but Wang Gen stood up abruptly, as if he had made up his mind, with a firm expression on his face, and said: "You are here waiting for everyone to report back. I will go to the sea outside the island to search."

Zheng Zhe was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Brother, this is absolutely impossible. Now the storm is raging, and the wind and rain are blowing. The island is fine. If you go outside the island indiscriminately, you may stray into the center of the storm. If you are not careful, you will be killed." Life is in danger!"

Wang Gen paused slightly, but still said in a deep voice: "I have the magic weapon 'Tianlong Cauldron' to protect me, so it should be fine, and the lost person..." He took a long breath, his eyes were like knives, and said sternly ,

"No matter what, if you live you want to see people, if you die you want to see corpses!"

In the cloudy sky, the violent storm has been raging for a whole night, but there is still no sign of letting up.Heavy wind, heavy rain, turbulent waves, and still a day seems to be endlessly washing Herring Island standing silently and suffering in the deep sea.

But under Wang Gen's resolute and resolute decision, under the seemingly calm appearance of the miserable wind and rain, the whole Herring Island was already churning. The front of the newcomer's cave was also full of noise and hustle and bustle, all the stone gates of the cave were called open, and the stern-faced supervisors and brothers also braved the wind and rain to check carefully and point out the number of people.

At the same time, at the bottom of a remote, narrow and deep tiankeng, after the initial excitement, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu finally had to face a desperate situation that might not be able to escape.

This road, obviously chose the wrong direction.

In the darkness deep in the cave before, the two crawled all the way and even saw the fluorescent stone tunnel at the back. Along the way, although the terrain was uneven and potholed, there were no other forks in the cave. Basically, the two of them walked all the way. Standing here, it is clear that they chose the wrong direction in the first place.

The cliff is more than a hundred feet high, soaring into the sky, and the rock wall is smooth and steep. Given the current situation of the two of them, they don't have any Taoism in them. After all, they are just newcomer disciples who have just started to practice. It is impossible to escape from here anyway. .And at the bottom of the tiankeng, with the gloomy light in the sky, you can see that there is a radius of about ten feet below, except for a pool in the front that occupies about half of the area, surrounded by hard rock walls, that is, a cave behind them, except In addition, there are no other exports.

Looking at the scene in front of them, both Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu couldn't say a word for a long time, their faces were both pale, and the excitement and strength that they thought they were about to be saved just now, like a discouraged ball, quickly disappeared from the scene. The body dissipated.

Tiredness and pain, like the darkness deep in the cave, screamed from every corner of the body, swarming in, making the two of them powerless.

Zhong Qingzhu couldn't bear it at first, and slowly sat down on the ground leaning against the stone wall, biting her lips tightly with her white teeth, her face was already drained of blood.Shen Shi looked a little better, but his face was also extremely ugly. No matter who faced the desperate situation of life and death, it was difficult for him to keep calm, let alone he was only a teenager after all.

After a while, he also sat down slowly beside Zhong Qingzhu, lowered his head, and did not speak.

Zhong Qingzhu turned pale, glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "Stone, what shall we do?"

Shen Shi slowly raised his head and glanced at the surrounding towering cliffs, shook his head and said, "I can't get out of here."

Zhong Qingzhu gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's go back?"

Shen Shi glanced at her, but didn't speak. After Zhong Qingzhu asked this question, he smiled wryly to himself, and didn't say anything more.

The two of them survived by chance in the depths of the cave. Both of them were injured in many places. Although they were not fatal, the combination was not easy to bear. Among them, Zhong Qingzhu's left hand was even broken.Under such circumstances, the two supported each other, groped in the dark, crawled for a long distance in the puddles, and persisted to this place. It is a miracle beyond their age, even if it is done again, or It's really hard to say whether they can come out of that darkness alone.

And if you turn back at this moment, will you be able to walk back to the previous entrance in another direction? Not to mention, in that deep, terrifying and completely dark cave, will there be any danger, will there be poisonous insects and monsters? There is no fork in the road, so when you go in that direction, there must be no fork in the cave?

More importantly, the two of them struggled to this point almost exhausted all their strength. If they walk back again, can they return to the middle of the cave where they woke up? Not to mention, how much is there in the dark ahead? Do you need to feel your way through the long corridor?Can the two of them really survive?

No one is a fool, at least Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu are not. The joints here are dangerous, even if they are young, but after thinking about it, how could they not think of it, can't figure it out?

If you don't go, you will probably be trapped to death here; if you venture back, you will almost certainly die in the dark and eerie depths of the cave.

In front of the two of them, there were actually two hopeless paths.

※※※

Shen Shi leaned against the stone wall and looked at the sky blankly. The mountain pass that was closed by the cliff and only exposed a small area was still covered with clouds and the wind and rain were still blowing. , the originally raging and violent wind and rain calmed down a lot, and turned into long and floating rain, slowly falling down, wetting their hair and clothes, but neither Shen Shi nor Zhong Qingzhu had the strength to pay attention to the rain at this time up.

It is quiet under the tiankeng, perhaps because there is a pool here, the stone wall at the bottom looks very wet, moss can be seen everywhere, the raindrops falling from the sky, falling in the clear pool, swaying waves Ripples, intertwined with the silent sorrow of the drizzle.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Shi suddenly said, "Do you want to go back and walk again?"

Zhong Qingzhu leaned against the stone wall, her body seemed to feel a little chilly, and she couldn't help but move closer to Shen Shi. When the shoulders of the two were close together, she seemed to feel a little relieved, and her face relaxed a little.After hearing Shen Shi's question, Zhong Qingzhu sighed softly, and said, "If we go back, can we go out?"

Shen Shi was silent for a moment, then said: "I don't know."

I don't know, naturally I am not sure, looking at his face, I know that even Shen Shi himself is pessimistic about the way back.Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and said: "If I must die, I would rather die here than go back to the end."

Shen Shi didn't say anything more, just leaned against the stone wall, and at the same time felt the faint warmth and inexplicable fragrance from Zhong Qingzhu's shoulder leaning on him, and suddenly felt better in his heart.

Then he thought of something, suddenly moved his body, Zhong Qingzhu quickly noticed his strangeness, turned around and asked: "What's wrong?"

Shen Shi seemed a bit hesitant, and after a wry smile, he said: "Just now I suddenly remembered the thing I wanted to ask you but forgot again."

Zhong Qingzhu said: "What is it?"

Shen Shi took a breath, and said: "Didn't you talk about the spirit crystal as a meal earlier, I wanted to ask you at that time, do you have a spirit crystal on you now?"

Zhong Qingzhu's expression moved, and his eyes suddenly became brighter. Both of them are newcomers who have started to practice. As long as they have spirit crystals on their bodies, they can recover their physical strength once they start practicing, even if they are trapped here, with spirit crystals The replenishment of spiritual power will not risk starvation to death. After all, they have just started to practice, and the required spiritual power is extremely small. Even a single spirit crystal can sustain them for several days.

With this time, maybe you will wait until the rescuers arrive!

Thinking of this, Zhong Qingzhu immediately became overjoyed, with a bit of anticipation in his eyes, and said: "I, I didn't bring the spirit crystal when I went out to pick up shells, did you bring it?"

Shen Shi put his hand on his forehead and said with a wry smile: "I am also afraid that if I lose it with me, it will delay my practice, so I also put the spirit crystal in the cave, and I am going to go back to practice at night."

Zhong Qingzhu was speechless, and after a long while, he finally bowed his head in disappointment, Shen Shi was also silent, looking up at the stormy sky, he felt that all the roads had come to an end, and there was no way out, so he couldn't help but take a long sighed.

※※※

Under the cliff, the wind is not strong, and it is raining.

The moss is dark green, the pond water is secluded, and there are a few clumps of weeds by the water, surrounded by three or two wild flowers. In this deep and uninhabited valley, it expresses a touch of spring alone.

After sitting for a long time, the fatigue on his body finally seemed to subside a little, and he barely recovered a little bit of energy.After the initial desperate blow, Shen Shi still tried his best to cheer up his spirits. With a one-in-ten-thousand chance, he circled around the bottom of the tiankeng and inspected it carefully, hoping to find some ways to leave .

But in the end, Shibi Sensen finally cut off all his hopes.

Standing by the pool, he turned around slowly, at the entrance of the cave, Zhong Qingzhu also stood up supporting the stone wall, and was looking up at him.

Facing Zhong Qingzhu's gaze, Shen Shi just shook his head slowly, a look of disappointment flashed across Zhong Qingzhu's face, but it was obvious that he had already expected this result in his heart, and he didn't have much reaction, just slowly come over.

The rain fell on her sideburns, taking advantage of her paler face.

Shen Shi frowned, and said: "The injury on your hand is still not healed, you'd better go back to the cave where there is no rain and take a rest."

Zhong Qingzhu's eyes fell on the pool next to the two of them, looking at the clear water, he said softly: "So what if you take a break, don't you just wait for death?"

Shen Shi was silent.

Zhong Qingzhu looked back at him, his gaze was soft, and after a while, he said, "Stone, why don't you go to the cave and come out later, okay?"

Shen Shi frowned, and said: "I'm fine, I don't need to go to hide from the rain."

Suddenly, a faint blush seemed to flash across Zhong Qingzhu's pale cheeks. Even in this desperate situation, she still felt a little ashamed, but she seemed unwilling to blame the boy in front of her, so she just said softly: "If you must If I want to die here, I also want to die cleanly. I crawled in the water all the way here just now, and my body is so dirty, I want to wash in this water..."

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. What Zhong Qingzhu meant was that he wanted to wash his body in this pool before dying and wait for his death in peace. After a burst of sadness, he took a deep look at Zhong Qingzhu, then nodded, and said, "Understood, I'll go there right away, call me when you're done washing, and I'll come out."

Zhong Qingzhu blushed, and only nodded in response in a low voice, without speaking.

Hearing the sound of footsteps walking away slowly behind her, Zhong Qingzhu felt her face was hot like a fever. Looking at the clear pool of water in front of her, she seemed a little crazy for a while. After a while, she sighed softly With a sound, he raised his uninjured right hand, stretched it out to his chest, slowly undid the first button, and then stretched out his hand to untie the second button.

Suddenly, at this moment, behind her suddenly came Shen Shi's exclamation:

"oops!"

The sound of footsteps sounded, and it was Shen Shi who ran over quickly from behind. Zhong Qingzhu was taken aback, blushed instantly, and subconsciously covered her chest with her hands. Although only one button was unbuttoned and did not reveal much of her skin, at this moment her heart Inexplicably bumping around like a deer, but at the same time feeling a bit angry and ashamed, he turned his head and glared at Shen Shi, thinking that this bad guy might have some strange ideas?
