Lu Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "The Spirit Tree has not matured yet. Even if it was cut down, it would only be worth a few Spirit Stones. What a pity. Forget it, let it stay here for a few more days. "
Hong Chuan was slightly surprised. After looking at him, he nodded.
After the two of them rested for a while, they began to try to find a way out. Just now, they had accidentally fallen down from the cliff. At this moment, the cave entrance was at least twenty feet away from the cliff. The middle was almost all rock walls. It would be very difficult to climb up. After looking around for a while, the two of them could only turn back to look at the cave.
Needless to say, with just a glance, he discovered that this seemingly small cave was actually a completely different world.
Lu Chen pulled a few pieces of mountain wood and lit them with a match. Then, he and Hong Chuan walked into the cave. After going around a few rocks, they saw a small winding path in front of them. It actually extended forward into the mountain.
The two of them looked at each other. After a while, Lu Chen said, "Let's go. Otherwise, we'll just be waiting for death here."
Hong Chuan agreed, and the two of them walked forward.
As they went deeper, the depths of the cave were soon plunged into darkness. The torches illuminated the nearby stone walls, and they could see many sharp stone edges and rocks. As they went further, water droplets began to drip from the stone walls. Some places were covered in moss, and occasionally, they could see some small insects crawling about in the light of the fire.
The surroundings were very quiet. There was almost no sound. Soon, the passage became so narrow that only one person could walk.
Lu Chen looked around and said to Hong Chuan behind him, "It seems like no one has been here before."
Hong Chuan nodded. There was some worry in his eyes. He said, "I don't know if we can get out of here."
Lu Chen said, "It depends on luck." After saying that, he turned around and continued walking forward. At the same time, perhaps to liven up the atmosphere and make the two more relaxed, he even said with a smile, "I remember when I was young, I often heard stories told in some teahouses and taverns. Every time there was a crisis like this, the bad guys would be unlucky, while the good guys would turn misfortune into fortune, or even gain fortune from misfortune. For example, they would suddenly see some immortal's cave, or obtain some peerless opportunity. Haha."
Hong Chuan's face was originally solemn and serious. However, after hearing these words, he could not help but laugh. He shook his head and said with a smile, "Now that you mention it, it seems to be true." After a pause, he smiled and said, "I just don't know if we're the good guys or the bad guys."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Yeah, who knows."
…
In life, it was easy to say good guys and bad guys, but in fact, it was not necessarily that easy to distinguish. And at this moment, in this Sky Cavern in the wilderness, in terms of luck alone, the "good or bad" of Lu Chen and Hong Chuan did not seem to be very clear.
They walked for a long distance. They felt that they had walked in this strange and natural mountain path for a long time, but they actually did not reach the end.
During this process, they were quite lucky that they didn't encounter any accidents. But similarly, there weren't any immortal's abodes, peerless Dao techniques, Divine Ability manuals, or powerful fortuitous encounters that suddenly fell from the sky in front of them.
From this point, it seemed that these two people … were neither good nor bad?
"I think I'm a good guy." Hong Chuan, who was walking at the back, said with some difficulty and panting. After walking in this dark and narrow mountain path for a long time, he still felt a little tired. Moreover, the surrounding was too dark and too quiet, which always made people feel a little strange. Therefore, he wanted to talk to Lu Chen, "You see, after walking for so long, nothing happened to us, so it must be okay."
The torch in Lu Chen's hand was almost burned out. He looked at the last bit of burning flame with some worry and said at the same time, "Is that so? You can't decide who is good or bad by yourself. When you were in the Kunlun Party, what did your fellow disciples think of you? Were you good or bad? "
Hong Chuan thought for a while and said with some uncertainty, "Uh … it seems that no one really said that before, no matter good or bad. Who would say others are good or bad for no reason? "
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Is there not even one person who said it?"
Hong Chuan shook his head and said, "No."
Lu Chen said, "Then in your heart, have you ever thought about who is good and who is bad?"
Hong Chuan was startled and said, "I think … it should be us righteous people who cultivate the Celestial Way and uphold justice, are good people; those evil people who kill innocent people indiscriminately, are bad people."
Lu Chen's body paused for a while, as if he wanted to say something, but for some reason, he stopped.
Hong Chuan followed behind him, seeing him stop, he also stopped behind him and said, "Brother Lu, what's wrong?"
Lu Chen turned around and looked at Hong Chuan. When he opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, suddenly, the two people's eyes suddenly darkened. The torch had burned to the end, the last bit of flame was also extinguished.
The cave in the belly of the mountain was suddenly plunged into darkness. Both of them fell silent. Darkness surged in from all directions in an instant.
Silence reigned all around … ….
Not knowing when it started, in the silence that seemed to be able to hear the heartbeat, Lu Chen's calm voice suddenly sounded, "Let's continue walking."
Hong Chuan was shocked, because at this time, he could hardly see Lu Chen's figure in front of him, let alone continue walking. He couldn't help but ask, "It's so dark, can you see the road? If only there was a torch. "
Lu Chen slowly turned around, walked forward and said, "Let's go."
Hong Chuan hesitated for a moment, but still slowly groped his way forward. But in that instant, he seemed to suddenly see a blurry figure in front of him in the darkness, it seemed to be Lu Chen's back. The strange thing was, when he saw Lu Chen walking, that posture was still the same as before, one of his hands was still holding the torch, as if there was still light guiding him forward.
But it was clearly dark all around, there was not the slightest bit of light.
That blurry figure was still walking forward, his hand was still held, as if there was really a fire burning.
Silently burning, even the fire seemed to be black, black flames.
In the legends, whenever such a situation was encountered, there would often be a major event, or a fortuitous encounter, or an encounter with a hermit expert, or a rare treasure. In short, the critical moment to test whether a person really had great luck to become the main character of fate had arrived.
