Chapter 1025: Directions (3)
After another 15 minutes, song qingxiao estimated that it was about time.
Sure enough, after a few minutes, uncle Xiang gasped in excitement.
Song qingxiao followed his gaze and looked up at the sky. The moon should be bright tonight. Between the walls on both sides, a string of starry lights formed a faint blue light.
The concave shadow of the hanging wall cut off the chain of stars and moon, making it look like a full and round pearl necklace.
The moment the light chain was formed, it was like a guiding light that pointed towards the hanging wall in front.
When song qingxiao saw this, she immediately understood and verified her previous guess.
Uncle Xiang might not be familiar with the terrain of the nine Dragon cave, and his previous random turns were just a cover.
Although he didn’t know the way, he knew the secret of entering the nine Dragon cave.
From the fact that he only entered the nine Dragon cave once a month, he knew that on a certain day of the month, at midnight, the moonlight and Starlight would shine down and form a path in the nine Dragon cave.
This guide was the real key to the yulun illusionary realm, which could lead people to that mysterious place.
As she thought of this, uncle Xiang immediately shouted, ”
“Time to work!”
His tone was a little excited, and the gloominess from before was gone.
In the eerie, dark, and strangely quiet environment, uncle Xiang’s sudden opening of his mouth was like a thunderclap, waking the young people up.
“What is it? what is it?”
The young man, who had his head raised and was leaning against the bowstring, suddenly sat up. His heart was pounding against his chest, so loud that everyone on the boat could hear it clearly.
He had just woken up and thought that uncle Xiang’s sudden voice meant that something serious had happened. He was quite frightened now. The echoes of his shout and uncle Xiang’s voice reverberated back and forth in the cave, forming the sound of air flow, which hurt his eardrums.
“Time to work!”
Uncle Xiang reminded him again. The young man finally realized that there was no danger, and he couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
Only then did he notice that he had fallen asleep. He didn’t know how long he had slept, but the young man felt that it had been a long time.
Although the light in the river had always been dim, the darkness at night was different from the darkness in the day. The feeling of oppression and eeriness was much more terrifying than the darkness in the day.
“Strange.” The young man scratched his head and muttered to himself, “”Why did I fall asleep?”
The atmosphere was not right, and the environment was creepy. There was a chill that seeped from the soles of his feet and spread to his limbs and bones. In such an environment, he thought that he should be uneasy, but he did not expect that he would fall asleep without realizing it.
She slept very peacefully and didn’t even have a dream.
When he woke up, he even felt refreshed, as if most of the foul air in his body had been emptied. The fatigue caused by the previous rowing and tension had all disappeared. At this time, he only felt full of energy, and it was even more comfortable than when he had slept at home for a night.
He didn’t know that it was because he was close to song qingxiao and was affected by her spiritual power. After explaining it, he didn’t think about it anymore.
When the other two young men heard his words, they were both envious and jealous.
The two of them were shocked and scared. They also felt that the yin Qi had entered their bones and they could not stand the cold. They leaned their backs against each other and wanted to use each other’s body temperature to keep each other warm, but they did not succeed.
The dusky and oppressive environment, the terrifying legend, the humidity, the cold wind in the river, and the echoes that were everywhere all created a mountain-like pressure that pressed on the two’s hearts, making them shiver.
Five to six hours was like several months to the two of them. They couldn’t hold on any longer, so they just gritted their teeth and endured.
Now that they finally heard uncle Xiang say that they could go, the two felt as if they had been pardoned. They immediately reached out with trembling hands to grab the wooden oars.
After being frozen for so long, the blood in their bodies seemed to have frozen, and their hands were shaking uncontrollably.
As soon as uncle Xiang finished speaking, he did not care about the others. He took the oars and pushed them against the stone wall.
With a creak, the ship’s speed of retreat suddenly stopped under his great force, and it glided forward a bit.
The young men also started to move. This time, song qingxiao realized that the boat did not go the wrong way.
After 12 O ‘clock, uncle Xiang had indeed found the real’ path ‘and started to head towards the center of the nine Dragon cave.
The deeper they went, the heavier the yin Qi became. It even formed a solid Yin fog, almost blocking the brilliance of the stars and moon.
About an hour and a half later, the young men were exhausted, especially the two young men who had not eaten, drunk, or rested for more than ten hours. Uncle Xiang looked up at the faint moonlight and said in a low voice,
“We’re almost there.”
His words were undoubtedly a shot in the arm, and the young men immediately became full of energy.
Song qingxiao could also feel that she was already in the middle of the yin Qi. The whistling wind was like the wailing of ghosts, making people shiver.
At this point, it was clear that uncle Xiang really knew the way. He no longer needed Starlight’s guidance. He instructed the young people to row the boat forward together.
After entering the center of the nine Dragon cave, there were not as many branches as there were in the outer area.
About ten minutes later, a gust of cold wind whistled in front of them, carrying the ship forward.
“Heyha! Use more strength!” Uncle Xiang was shouting a call to arms, and the few young men were panting like Bulls. They used the wind to push the boat forward.
The boat glided away with a ‘whoosh’, and then the body of the boat seemed to rise into the air like an arrow released from a bow. Before they could react, it carried them and fell back into the water with a’ splash’.
With the sound of water flowing, a large amount of water splashed up. It was so cold that the young people gasped. Before they could scream, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
