Chapter 22 Underground River
Author: Heart is hard to imprison ink
Although Li Yuan said it was too late to explain, looking at Li Yuan stuck in the sarcophagus and the bottom of the sarcophagus missing, Xiao Longnu couldn't understand it for a moment.
She froze on the spot, a puzzled look flashing in her big eyes.
However, Xiao Longnu is not only very talented in martial arts training, but also has very quick reactions when thinking about problems.
She looked at the passage at the bottom of the sarcophagus and combined with what Li Yuan said just now, she immediately realized it.
"Is this the way out for Wang Chongyang when he stayed in the ancient tomb? Yes, Wang Chongyang was a great hero. The Dragon-Breaking Stone was just to stop the Jin soldiers at that time. He had no intention of trapping himself in the ancient tomb for the rest of his life.
The bottom of this sarcophagus must be connected to the back road leading to the outside of the ancient tomb! Now that the senior sister has fallen in, doesn’t it mean that she can leave the ancient tomb? Oops!”
If Li Mochou found a way out and left before, Xiao Longnu would have no objection.
After all, Li Mochou had broken the rules of the ancient tomb and was an abandoned disciple of the ancient tomb. Logically speaking, she should not stay in the ancient tomb anymore.
And Li Mochou didn't seem to like living in ancient tombs.
But now Li Mochou has mastered the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, which is the supreme heart method of the ancient tomb.
As the current owner of the ancient tomb, Xiao Longnu could not let Li Mochou, an abandoned disciple of the ancient tomb, leave the ancient tomb with the Jade Girl Heart Sutra.
If Li Mochou spreads the Heart Sutra of Jade Girl, then Xiao Longnu will become the sinner of the ancient tomb.
After thinking of this, the rest of the doubts on Xiao Longnu's face quickly disappeared, and then she jumped directly into the dark corridor with Li Yuan.
This corridor is made of smooth stone bricks, showing a slightly inclined angle, and goes all the way underground.
Li Yuan and Xiao Longnu slid down the corridor quickly. After sliding for about tens of meters, they landed on the ground.
The end of the corridor is connected to an underground tomb.
Xiao Longnu and Li Yuan looked around, but did not see Li Mochou in the underground tomb.
"Senior sister must have guessed that this is the escape route left by Wang Chongyang back then. There are footprints here, let's chase them!"
Xiao Longnu was a little anxious.
Li Yuan then followed Xiao Longnu and chased her all the way forward in the underground stone chamber.
After a while.
The two followed the footsteps left by Li Mochou and chased them all the way to the end of the underground tomb.
The end of the tomb is connected to a pool of water.
The water pool looks extremely deep, and the overall color is pitch black, but there are little ripples on the surface of the water.
"Someone just jumped into this pool, it should be Master Li. She just jumped in not long ago, and the water waves haven't dispersed yet."
Xiao Longnu said anxiously: "Hurry up and chase her! We should still be able to stop her!"
"Master, can you swim?"
After all, Li Yuan knew some of the plot of the World of Divine Condors, and the underground river and pool passage left by Wang Chongyang seemed to be extremely long and impossible for ordinary people to pass.
Even people with excellent water properties may drown in it without the blessing of deep inner strength.
Not to mention a landlubber like Xiao Longnu who has lived in ancient tombs since she was a child.
"I can't swim, but I can't control that much now, I can only chase!"
Just as Li Yuan raised his head, he saw Xiao Longnu jumping directly into the pool.
He shook his head helplessly and quickly jumped into the pool.
Plop!
This pool is an underground river that never sees light all year round and is extremely cold.
As soon as Li Yuan jumped in, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and the coldness instantly penetrated deep into his bones.
If he hadn't been practicing on the cold jade bed for more than a year and his body had adapted to the cold environment, he would have suffered the moment he entered the water.
Li Yuan quickly held his breath and activated his Nine Yang internal energy to expel the chill from his body, then raised his head and looked forward.
At this time, Xiao Longnu was also holding her breath and working on her internal energy.
But there was something wrong with her appearance.
After all, this was his first time diving. Li Yuan could vaguely see Xiao Longnu's chest rising and falling, as if she had choked on several large mouthfuls of water.
As she choked on the water, Xiao Longnu's body soon became uncontrollable, and she almost hit the surrounding sharp rocks several times.
After all, this was her first time in the water, and it was really difficult to swim in such a cold pool.
So Li Yuan hurriedly swam to Xiao Longnu's side, hugged Xiao Longnu's waist, and then motioned her to breathe with her belly and try to control her breath.
After a while, Xiao Longnu was able to slowly swim underwater with the help of Li Yuan.
The two of them swam forward along the underground river.
Along the way, not only did the river become more and more turbulent, but there were also many jagged and strange rocks around, making it easy to get stabbed if you were not careful.
Moreover, the entire underground area is covered with river water, and there is no place to take a breath. This is the most important thing.
From the beginning to now, four to five hundred meters have passed, but this underground river has no intention of ending.
Li Yuan's condition is not bad.
After all, he is a man. After practicing Qigong, his lung capacity has become very large, and with the blessing of Jiuyang's internal energy, it doesn't matter if he doesn't breathe in a short period of time.
But Xiao Longnu's face looked a little pale due to lack of oxygen.
When she first entered the water, she choked on several large mouthfuls of river water. It took her a while to adapt to the diving environment, and she could no longer hold on for a breath.
But at this moment, a slim white figure appeared in front of him.
"Li Mochou!"
Both of them were overjoyed.
Li Yuan moved forward and found that Li Mochou was just like Xiao Longnu, her face was pale, and she could no longer hold back any longer.
"It turns out that Uncle Li's water properties are not very good either."
Li Yuan took Xiao Longnu and swam to Li Mochou.
Xiao Longnu immediately stretched out her hands, grabbed Li Mochou, and wanted to take her back to the ancient tomb.
But Li Mochou finally found the way out of the ancient tomb, so how could she give up so easily?
For her, the free world is her world, and the ancient tomb is more like a prison. Now that she has a choice, she will never choose to stay in the ancient tomb.
Li Mochou suddenly waved her palm away and slapped away Xiao Longnu's outstretched hands.
But the two of them were the same. They were both holding their last breath to support themselves. Now they started fighting fiercely, which inevitably caused a large amount of river water to enter their mouths and noses.
Li Yuan also wanted to give some advice.
But after dozens of moves, Li Mochou and Xiao Longnu were discouraged at the same time. A large amount of river water poured into their mouths and noses, and they both fainted for a moment.
Li Yuan looked at this scene helplessly, and quickly stepped forward, hugged Li Mochou with his left hand, and Xiao Longnu with his right hand, and then tried his best to swim outside.
During this process, Jiuyang's internal energy continued to circulate, supporting Li Yuan to swim several hundred meters with the two unconscious women.
Only then did I finally see a glimmer of light and arrive at a lake at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.
