Not long after, Yu Lianzhou saw a piece of clothing under the snow. It was Song Yuanqiao who was wearing the clothes. Seeing this, Yu Lianzhou was overjoyed and quickly dug downwards with strength in her hands.
Yu Lianzhou hurriedly went to check Song Yuanqiao's breath and found that his eldest senior brother was still breathing. Only then did he feel relieved, but he knew that this was not the time to relax. He quickly transferred some true energy to Song Yuanqiao and only then did Song Yuanqiao slowly wake up and slowly open his eyes.
"Where is this?" We're not dead yet. " Song Yuanqiao's eyes swept across the dark environment and saw his junior brother sitting beside him, speaking to Yu Lianzhou.
"Senior apprentice-brother, we fell into a cave. We didn't die."
When Song Yuanqiao heard this, he felt relieved. He slowly sat up, and with luck, a warm stream flowed out from his dantian and flowed around his body. After a while, he felt the coldness around his body lessen, and his fatigue subsided.
"Brother, let's search the cave to see if there are any other exits." Song Yuanqiao raised his head to look at the cave entrance that was several tens of feet high. It was already covered by snow.
When Yu Lianzhou heard this, she nodded her head. The two of them stood up, took a fire piston, and began to carefully set it up in large numbers in the cave.
"Senior, look, there's a passage here. There might be an exit."
When Song Yuanqiao heard this, he hurriedly walked towards Yu Lianzhou. Borrowing the weak flame in his hand, he saw a dark tunnel.
"Brother, let's go in and take a look."
After saying that, he walked into the passage first. He checked the passage first to make sure that there was no danger. He did not know how long he had been walking for. There were a lot of broken stones on the ground and it was very wet.
The two of them carefully walked along the passageway and stopped at a certain location. They realized that the road ahead of them had collapsed and blocked their way forward.
"Second brother, what should we do? The road is blocked!" Song Yuanqiao said anxiously.
"Senior, there is no way out from behind us. The hole we fell into is at least a few Zhang away from the ground, and we can't jump that high with our Qing Gong. We can only hope to get out by moving these broken rocks, but there aren't many collapsed areas."
After Yu Lianzhou finished speaking, she did not wait for Song Yuanqiao to do anything. She put down the fire in her hands, bent down, and picked up the broken rocks in front of her.
When Song Yuanqiao saw this, he did not say a word and also threw himself into the business of moving stones.
Fortunately, the two of them were martial artists, and their inner force skills were on the same level. It took them more than an hour of working together to clear a tunnel that only one person could pass through.
Seeing that the road was open, the two of them revealed an expression of joy. They looked at each other and started meditating. In less than an hour, they had already finished.
"Senior, let's continue moving forward. There's no end to our path. We will definitely be able to leave this place alive."
When Song Yuanqiao heard this, his face revealed determination, and he walked forward with Yu Lianzhou.
Before long, the two of them arrived at a wide area. They carefully searched around and found a torch on the wall. They lit it up and began to observe the scene inside the cave.
This cave had a circumference of thirty feet and a height of thirty feet. Beside a stone wall was a stone bed, and on the stone bed were three prayer mats. In the middle of the cave was a stone table, and on top of it was a tea set.
Yu Lianzhou discovered that the interior of the cave was very neat and tidy, and it was obviously inhabited. She was overjoyed and guessed that there must be an exit here, so she said, "Big Shixiong, it seems that someone lives here. There must be an exit nearby. Let's look around."
When Song Yuanqiao heard this, he said, "Yes, we need to quickly search."
The two of them immediately began searching the cave.
"Second Brother, there is a hole here. It might be the exit."
Yu Lianzhou hurriedly ran in the direction of Song Yuanqiao and saw a cave entrance in front of her. She said joyfully, "Hahaha, senior apprentice-brother, we can leave now."
The two brothers embraced and laughed. The feeling of surviving a calamity was really good.
The two of them hurriedly walked towards the cave entrance. Not long later, their expressions turned ugly. They saw a huge rock land outside the cave entrance and block the entrance.
"Senior Apprentice Brother, let's push it away together."
When Song Yuanqiao heard this, he walked to the side of the boulder with Yu Lianzhou. Their auras sunk into their dantian and they put more strength into their palms. Blue veins popped out on their hands and their faces flushed red, but the huge rock in front of them did not move at all.
Second brother, this boulder weighs at least a thousand pounds. With our combined strength, if it was in a normal situation, we would still be able to move this boulder. However, the boulder is not moving at all, and I'm afraid there is still snow on it. Song Yuanqiao's face was full of depression after he finished speaking. He leaned his back against the big rock and sat down.
Yu Lianzhou was also disheartened when she heard this. She sat next to Song Yuanqiao and had a thousand thoughts in her heart. She didn't expect herself to be trapped in a cave like this even before she had a good look at the world. Her past life's emotions were filled with unwillingness to fate and regret for the fragility of human life.
"No, I can't give up. Master is still waiting for me at Wu Dang, Wu Dang still needs me. I haven't lived enough in this life, and even if I had a sliver of hope, I can't give up."
When Song Yuanqiao heard this, he thought of his master and an old face appeared in front of his eyes. Only then did he remember that his master was already in his seventies, and after this year he would be his seventieth birthday. If he were to die here, how sad would his master be?
Song Yuanqiao's mind was spinning. Calming himself down, he said, "Right, we cannot give up hope. Master is still waiting for us to congratulate him."
When Yu Lianzhou saw the determination on Song Yuanqiao's face, she knew that nothing would happen to Song Yuanqiao in the near future. She was most afraid of losing her will to fight when she was in dire straits.
"Senior, I'm hungry. Let's go check if there's food in the cave."
When Song Yuanqiao heard Yu Lianzhou say this, he realized that his stomach was empty and hunger assaulted his entire body.
The two of them had not eaten in the water for half a day. The journey there had been extremely dangerous as their mental and physical energy consumption was great. If it were not for the fact that they had temporarily forgotten about eating in the water, they would have already collapsed.
The two of them returned to the cave and carefully searched. They didn't even mention that the original owner had left some meat here.
"Senior, with just this little bit of food, I'm afraid we have to save some food."
Song Yuanqiao also had a serious expression on his face. The two of them found some firewood in the cave and roasted the cold food in their hands on the fire. Only after drinking the snow water did they fill their stomachs.
Afterwards, the two walked towards the stone bed and sat cross-legged on the prayer mat. They began to meditate and rest.
