Chapter 3692: The Sword of Damocles hanging over the head
Yin Kun waited in the car for a long time, but he didn't wait for Zhao Xu.
Because he and Zhao Xu were in a contract, they could not run around randomly.
Shortly after Xusheng and Xuzhi left the "Heaven and Earth Alliance", Yin Kun also came here.
He could feel that Zhao Xu was nearby, but where he was unknown.
After searching for a long time, I couldn't find Zhao Xu, so Yin Kun had to give up.
Yin Kun was not far away and kept wandering nearby.
At this time, Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu had already dug up a tunnel of nearly a hundred meters.
The two of them were like headless flies, and they could only dig based on their sense of direction.
I don’t know if it will reach the end or if there is hope of survival.
After digging, Zhao Xu and Xu Lingzhu were exhausted.
Although both of them are top-notch masters in the martial arts world, they are exhausted because they do not have the right tools and have no clear direction.
Fortunately, the soil below Qucheng is of good quality and is not easy to collapse. Otherwise, the two of them might have buried their lives.
Zhao Xu sat leaning against the wall, trying hard to regulate his internal strength.
Xu Lingzhu also rested and looked at Zhao Xu, who was covered in sweat, and felt very guilty.
Because your reckless behavior will ultimately harm others and yourself.
Xu Lingzhu wiped the sweat from her face with her clothes and said to Zhao Xu: "Mr. Zhao, let me dig for a while? You are digging again and transporting earth with me, I'm afraid you will be unable to bear it."
"I'm fine!" Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "Just adjust your breath!"
"I'm sorry, because I've caused you to be implicated. I..."
Zhao Xu interrupted Xu Lingzhu and said, "Miss Xu, you have not been sorry to me at least ten times. This may be a disaster in the end, and I don't mean to blame you."
When Xu Lingzhu heard the four words "The Tribulation of Destiny!", she was stunned.
The answer to the fate card "Houyi Shooting the Sun" she drew was revealed, which was Zhao Xu.
Could it be that I and Zhao Xu were trapped here and that I also responded to this disaster?
Otherwise, why would she be tied to Zhao Xu everywhere after she went down the mountain?
If this is the case, it is really something that is destined to appear. You can't hide it even if you want to; you can't escape it even if you want to.
In order to get rid of the relationship with Zhao Xu, Xu Lingzhu came to the remote Qucheng.
But unexpectedly, because of the wanted arrest of the "Heaven and Earth Alliance", the two of them were allowed to walk together again.
Thinking of this, Xu Lingzhu suddenly realized.
She was also a little excited.
Since it is a disaster in the end, it seems that you can't escape it no matter how hard it is to stay calm.
Xu Lingzhu stared at Zhao Xu and asked, "Mr. Zhao, are you here to help me from the Five Clan Village in Lincheng?"
Zhao Xu was stunned when he heard this.
I didn't expect Xu Lingzhu's reflection arc to last so long.
It's been so long and I'm still thinking about this.
Since everyone has mentioned this, Zhao Xu has no need to hide it anymore.
Nodded and said, "No, right! Xiaodao learned that you were wanted by the people of the Tiandi Alliance, so I rushed from the Five Clan Village. But I didn't expect that it would be worse if it was backfire. However, Miss Xu, don't think too much. You have kindness to my Five Clan Village. I, Zhao Xu, did this just to repay you."
"Actually, it's not that bad." Xu Lingzhu smiled slightly and said, "If you don't come, I'll be the only one who's locked up in this dungeon. Without your high imitation fish intestine sword, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to escape. At least, I have another companion now."
Zhao Xu smiled helplessly and said, "But the air here is getting thinner and thinner, and we probably won't last long."
"A person will die in the end! In fact, I have seen through life and death."
Zhao Xu glanced at Xu Lingzhu with a surprised look.
This statement was incredible when a girl in her twenties said it.
Xu Lingzhu has a high talent in martial arts learning, which is rare. Only those who have great enlightenment can have such wisdom.
"Miss Xu, aren't you afraid of death?" Zhao Xu asked.
"It's not that I'm not afraid, but that I've seen through life and death. When a person is born, he knows where the end is. What's so scary? In fact, strictly speaking, I'm pursuing an alternative way of living."
"What way to live?"
"Enlightenment!" Xu Lingzhu explained: "Like those who practice martial arts, there is only one way to enlighten the Tao, which can make our age transcend the natural confinement. Unfortunately, even my master has not realized it. Now there is no hope of survival, let alone enlightenment."
Seeing Xu Lingzhu's depressed look, Zhao Xu said, "Actually, you don't have to be too discouraged. As long as we can escape from heaven, with your talent in martial arts, it is very likely to enter the Tao. I have seen a person who practices Taoism. The man was named Li Gang, who is at least over four hundred years old. But I don't think he is very happy even if he enters Taoism."
"You... are you serious? There are really people who are enlightened in this world?" Xu Lingzhu's face was filled with shock.
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Yes! That Li Gang is known as the last person to practice Taoism on earth."
"Where is he?"
"In the Savage Shennong Valley, that place has always been listed as a restricted area by the state. I encountered many strange phenomena that I had never seen before, as well as various strange species, and almost died there."
Zhao Xu did not tell Xu Lingzhu that his alchemy skills came from the "alchemy classics" given by Li Gang.
I couldn't help but remember that Li Gang also gave him a book about practicing Taoism, saying that as long as he understood it, he could understand a set of martial arts secrets hidden in it.
With Zhao Xu's understanding, even if he read the whole article thoroughly, he still did not find any martial arts secrets.
Li Qingqing did not allow Zhao Xu to practice Taoism, so he temporarily sent the book of Taoism to his father Zhao Xiaotian.
Now that I think about it, I still have some trouble, so I can't understand that martial arts.
After hearing Zhao Xu's words, Xu Lingzhu's eyes burned with hope for practicing Taoism.
Now, I heard that there are really people who practice Taoism in this world. Xu Lingzhu ignited a keen thought about entering Taoism again.
Xu Lingzhu sighed: "Oh! It's a pity that we are going to be trapped here and we can never get out again."
"Miss Xu! There is no way to go. If God wants us to dig for the tunnel, then there will be miracles waiting for us. Don't be discouraged. For our beliefs, we have to work hard to survive."
"Then what is your belief?" Xu Lingzhu stared at Zhao Xu and asked.
Zhao Xu said: "My belief is to protect my tribe and my family! As long as I see their happy smiles, I feel that everything I have done is worth it."
"You may never understand the fate of our entire family being hunted down. If the people of our five major families do not have the ability to protect themselves, it seems like a sword of Damocles hanging on their heads, which will kill us at any time!"
"That kind of fear and anxiety makes us feel uncomfortable."
"But since the village of the five tribes and my protection! I saw their heartfelt smiles from the faces of the tribes."
