Chapter 16 Chapter 16 "We've Already Kissed"
Cultivate secret methods?
Or is it the secret art of cultivation?
Ye Yunxi looked left and right, but nothing seemed right. The last word was unrecognizable.
"It could be some kind of magic." Ning Shuangchen frowned as he spoke. If it was really some kind of magic, they would not be able to practice it now that they have lost their cultivation. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see. Maybe there will be other clues."
Ye Yunxi didn't bother to think about it any more. She just nodded and turned her eyes away from the line of small words.
They then checked along the cave wall again, but found no other traces except some messy sword marks.
However, no body was found.
This gave them a glimmer of hope.
There are no corpses, which means that the two people who were trapped at the time probably left this place in the end.
Of course, it is not ruled out that they went to other places later. After all, this forbidden area is complicated and it is all a maze set up by Master Jiyue back then. No one knows whether new illusions will appear.
Both of them were tired from searching, and they found no new traces or exits, so they simply found a place in the cave to stop and rest for a while.
Since entering the forbidden area, they have been entering and breaking illusions. Although they are monks, they have lost their cultivation and are no different from ordinary people. Their bodies are always tired.
Ye Yunxi found a slightly flat stone a little further away from the acacia tree and sat down. Just as he put down his sword, Ning Shuangchen also sat down on the stone opposite him.
There was a distance between the two of them, neither far nor close.
Ye Yunxi was still thinking about the writing on the cave wall. He said thoughtfully, "Who do you think was trapped here?"
As he examined the cave wall, he recalled carefully and found that he had not heard of any disciple going missing in the Qingxu Secret Realm in the past few hundred years.
Moreover, anyone who can use these two moves is definitely not an ordinary disciple. Even within the sect, he should be ranked among the famous ones.
If he really went missing in the Qingxu Secret Realm, someone in the sect would have mentioned it.
Ning Shuangchen took off his storage bag, took out a water bag from it, unplugged the spout, and after listening to his words, he said slowly, "Only inner disciples can learn to drink the frost dew. This senior sword cultivator must have been trapped here four hundred years ago."
Ye Yunxi asked curiously, "How can you be sure it was four hundred years ago? Not eight hundred years ago?"
Ning Shuangchen said slowly, "Frost Dew is a sword move that the eighth leader of the Shuanghua Sect, Zhenhan Jianzun, comprehended during his retreat six hundred years ago."
Yes, how could he forget!
Both of these sword moves are older than eight hundred years.
Ye Yunxi glanced at the water bag in his hand, then looked away and said, "Liulan Tingxue was also created by our great-grandmaster Qiliu Jianzun. In this way, they were all disciples of the sect four hundred years ago."
I don’t know whether he has passed away or ascended to heaven.
Ning Shuangchen took a sip of water from the water bag and was wiping the corner of his lips when he caught a glimpse of Ye Yunxi moving his throat slightly and passing the water bag in his hand to him.
"Drink it."
Ye Yunxi glanced at the spout of the pot, his eyes revealing a hint of disgust, and did not take it.
Ning Shuangchen knew that this Young Master Ye had a cleanliness obsession, and thought that he thought the water was not clean, so he added, "The water under the waterfall is clean."
Ye Yunxi still frowned. He even felt uncomfortable wearing clothes that Ning Shuangchen had worn, not to mention sharing a water bag with Ning Shuangchen.
Ye Yunxi frowned and said, "You've drunk it."
It turned out that she disliked him for drinking.
Ning Shuangchen couldn't help wanting to laugh. She raised her eyes to glance at him and raised her lips lightly: "We've already kissed each other."
"!"
This person also said!
If it weren't for him, how could he...
Ye Yunxi stared at him and glared at him fiercely, but her ears felt hot and she didn't know how to refute for a moment.
In Ning Shuangchen's eyes, he looked like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Although he looks angry and fierce, he somehow exudes a cuteness.
Huh? He actually thinks Ye Yunxi is cute...
Thinking of this, Ning Shuangchen couldn't help but narrow his dim eyes.
On the other side, in order not to see that annoying face, Ye Yunxi turned her head away. Thinking of the water bag full of water, she couldn't help but pursed her dry lips.
I thought Ning Shuangchen would pass the water bag over, but there was no movement for a long time.
He was just thinking that this man was not giving it to him sincerely, when suddenly a bowl filled with clean, clear water appeared on the stone in front of him.
Ning Shuangchen's voice came from the side: "Is it okay now?"
Ye Yunxi raised his eyes and glanced at him. An inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. Although he was satisfied in his heart, he said, "Just barely."
Looking at his awkward expression, Ning Shuangchen felt helpless and unconsciously curled the corners of her lips slightly.
He then took out a bag of food from his storage bag and placed it in front of Ye Yunxi, "Eat it, it will fill your stomach."
The food was carefully wrapped in tree leaves, and a faint fragrance wafted out from the gaps, making my stomach, which was not hungry at first, a little hungry.
Ye Yunxi held the bowl and asked, "What is this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ning Shuangchen peeling off the leaves. Looking closely, he saw a bag of roasted dried fish.
Ye Yunxi took a look and immediately became disgusted, thinking that it must have been roasted by Ning Shuangchen when she was in the cave.
He frowned and said, "Nothing else?"
The dignified Shuanghua Sect has this kind of food in its storage bag?
This is too shabby.
Ye Yunxi couldn't help but ask, "When you came down the mountain, didn't you pack some edible food in it?"
Ning Shuangchen shook her head: "No."
"What about your father?" Ye Yunxi asked again: "Doesn't he care about you?"
When he went down the mountain, his parents wanted him to take everything from the Yunlan Sect with him.
Ning Shuangchen was silent for a moment after hearing this, still shaking his head.
Come to think of it, if there really was something else, Ning Shuangchen should have been taken out as soon as he found the storage bag.
When Ning Shuangchen mentioned his father, a strange color flashed in his eyes. Ye Yunxi glanced at the word "寕" woven with gold thread on his eye bags, and couldn't help but think of some rumors about the current leader of the Shuanghua Sect.
Rumor has it that the leader of the Shuanghua Sect lost his wife at an early age and was heartbroken. After he woke up, his temperament changed drastically and he became cold, cruel and severe.
At that time... Ning Shuangchen was about six or seven years old?
My mother just passed away and my father doesn’t love me.
One can imagine their situation.
Thinking of this, when Ye Yunxi looked at Ning Shuangchen again, there was a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
As if noticing his direct gaze, Ning Shuangchen turned her head to look at him and said abruptly, "I'm already fasting, so I can't use it even if he gives it to me. It's better for him to bring more elixirs and magic tools."
Then he raised his eyebrows and said, "You haven't completely fasted yet, have you?"
Ye Yunxi: …………
He knew that he was overthinking it.
Ye Yunxi frowned and said unhappily, "What does it have to do with you?"
Ning Shuangchen was already used to his temper and was not angry about it. Instead, she found Ye Yunxi's angry look very interesting.
But don't tease them too much. Even cats will bite when their fur gets angry.
Thinking of the pain still on her lips, Ning Shuangchen softened her tone, looked at the small fish on the leaves and said, "Do you still want to eat?"
"Eat, of course I have to." Ye Yunxi grabbed all the dried fish and said, "Who said I don't want to eat."
After leaving the bottom of the cliff and returning to Yunlan Sect, he filled his storage bag with all the delicious food.
Even if he is fasting, he still wants to eat!
Ning Shuangchen stared at him from the side, as if he was looking at a cat guarding its food, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.
I thought the dried fish didn't taste very good, but it tasted better and better the more I ate it. In a blink of an eye, Ye Yunxi had eaten most of it.
Of course, he didn't finish it, and thought he was quite good at leaving some for Ning Shuangchen.
Don't blame him, it was Ning Shuangchen himself who said that he was fasting.
After they had rested, they prepared to go and take a look under the albizzia tree.
This was the only place in the cave that they had not checked.
Before walking towards the love tree, Ning Shuangchen poured out two pills from the jade bottle, took one himself, and placed the other on the palm of his hand to the person next to him.
Ye Yunxi asked: "What for?"
"Pingxiang Dan." Ning Shuangchen explained in one sentence: "The fragrance of the albizzia tree also has an aphrodisiac effect."
Ye Yunxi understood the effect of the pill instantly and swallowed it without waiting for Ning Shuangchen to finish speaking.
After taking the pills, the two of them started walking.
Looking up, I saw tall tree trunks reaching up to the top of the cave, and the trees were full of albizzia flowers blooming vigorously. The air was indeed filled with the faint fragrance of flowers.
Before they could get close, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the face, shaking off the albizzia flowers, and the petals gathered like a dark cloud and brushed towards their faces.
Ning Shuangchen hurriedly said, "Be careful."
Upon seeing this, Ye Yunxi hurriedly raised his arms to block it. After a moment, the wind blew the flowers away, and the surroundings slowly returned to peace.
The gust of wind came so strangely that it made people feel weird. He was about to ask Ning Shuangchen, but when he turned around, the snow-blue figure was gone.
In an instant, he was the only one left in the empty cave.
He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and shouted, "Ning Shuangchen?"
No one responded.
Strange, am I entering into an illusion again?
Ye Yunxi was just thinking to himself when a soft and gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"What a handsome young man."
The sound echoed slowly and resonated between the cave walls and sounded particularly familiar.
Ye Yunxi immediately looked around: "Who? Who?"
The owner of the voice didn't seem to hear what he said. As if she had thought of something interesting, she smiled and said, "Oh~ Two more sword cultivators."
