After climbing up a protruding cave wall, he could already see a few soldiers pulling on ropes. There were also a few scattered Mount Hua disciples, and Sha Qi was among them. Li Yijie knew that this little martial brother always cared about him and his body felt warm. Nangong Xue knelt at the entrance of the cave and stared at him without blinking. Her eyes were filled with tears, as if she was crying and complaining. When the two of them were a little closer, she called out, "Martial brother, give me your hand!" She put her hand into the cave and shook it anxiously.
When Li Yijie saw her white jade-like wrist, he suddenly dispersed the image of Shen Shiyun in his mind. He raised his head and tried to smile at her, thinking that she might have seen it. The sun had just risen and a ray of white light pierced his eyes.
On both sides of the cave, rocks and soil rolled down like a tide. Li Yijie swayed his body and continuously pulled the rope to avoid the falling rocks. He was about to raise his hand to Nangong Xue when he suddenly saw a big rock above his head loosen. After several vibrations, it rolled down and hit the rope above his hands.
Before Li Yijie could react, he heard a 'crack' sound. This rope had already borne the weight of many people and was made of clothes and belts, so it was not stable enough. Just now he had shaken it and then hit the rock. The edges were sharp and immediately cracked.
In a panic, Li Yijie grabbed the wall and carved a long white mark on the wall with his fingernails. Then he couldn't hold on any longer and fell down into the Hall of the Dead, landing heavily on the ground. Luckily he used his hands and feet to divert some of the force so the fall wasn't too heavy. But his waist and back still hurt. His whole body felt as if it had been broken into countless pieces.
A few rocks and soil also fell down with him, landing around his limbs. He only suffered some scratches. When he fell down, he was in so much pain that he couldn't move, but it was this that inadvertently saved his life. Otherwise, if he had been slightly off, his body would have been pierced by the rocks.
When he landed, he heard Nangong Xue call out in alarm, "Senior Martial Brother!" After that, there was no more sound. Could it be that he was too anxious and fainted? Just as he was about to shout and ask, he felt a burst of pain in his chest. Cold air rose from his chest and into his mouth.
Li Yijie moved his body with difficulty, knowing that it was not a good place to stay. Avoiding the rocks, he rolled to the side several times and hid in a small corner. Only then did he dare to move his stiff limbs to sit up. The corner was still not a safe place. Even if there were no falling rocks for the time being, it would still be difficult for him to push them all away if the main path of Hall Master Ming was filled with rocks. He would have to suffer for a few days and eventually die without food or water. However, with his current condition, he might not be able to hold on for too long, so the time he had to suffer would be shorter.
But then he thought that he was too useless to seek death before seeking life. He couldn't allow the Death Slash to fall into Jiang Liechen's hands. Nangong Xue was still waiting for him to take care of her. These beliefs supported him to maintain his consciousness. Supporting himself with his right hand, he suddenly bumped into a stiff arm. He was startled: Could it be that there was still someone in the Hall Master Ming that he couldn't save? To Li Yijie, if it was his own matter, he could only resign himself to fate. But if he couldn't save someone else, he would feel extremely guilty.
If the people above thought that he was dead and left, it would be impossible for him to escape with his own strength. His only hope was that they could think of a way to save someone. But he didn't have the strength to send out a signal. Who would continue to wait for someone whose life or death was unknown? Could it be that he was going to die here today?
Huo Zhe didn't know where he landed when he fell. He turned over with difficulty to identify the person's appearance. Because the hole in the Hall Master Ming was getting bigger, more light penetrated in. He could roughly make out the person's appearance. He saw that the person was Cheng Jiahua, lying on the ground lifelessly.
Ever since Li Yijie knew him, as long as he was awake, he would be bossy and domineering, unforgiving and unreasonable. This was the first time he saw him acting like an obedient child. He stretched out his hand to check his breathing. There was still some weak breathing. His desire to save someone gave him a burst of strength. He held onto Cheng Jiahua's shoulders, trying to pull him up. However, after several attempts, his hands still did not move.
Cheng Jiahua's body was thin and frail, how could he be so heavy? Following the momentum, Li Yijie looked down and saw that one of his legs was weighed down by several rocks. They were all large and heavy rocks, piled up at different angles, pressing down on each other, almost wrapping him from his knees down. No wonder he could not be moved at all.
Li Yijie smiled bitterly inwardly. This moment he really had the feeling of 'when it rains, it pours'. Helpless, he stooped down, trying to move the rocks down. But his hands were weak, the rocks were heavy, for a long time he didn't move at all. The surrounding situation did not relax because of this, the small corner was not peaceful either. A sharp rock fell and hit Cheng Jiahua's shoulder.
Cheng Jiahua clenched his fists, his eyelids opened a slit, slowly he opened his eyeballs. He struggled to move his body. His memory was still stuck at the time when the three of them were trapped inside the stone statue. Now he saw rocks rolling down all around him, smoke and dust everywhere, he was at a loss. Then he saw a black shadow in front of him. "Who is it?" he shouted. He pushed his palm toward the shadow, but because he was seriously injured, his attack was weak and powerless.
Li Yijie let the palm hit his shoulder. With a wry smile he said, "You really don't let your guard down. You're a good martial artist. Cough, cough, it's me. "Cheng Jiahua recognized Li Yijie's voice, but he still couldn't believe it. He frowned and asked," Alliance Head Li? "Li Yijie laughed bitterly, which was considered a tacit admission.
Cheng Jiahua caught his breath and asked, "What happened here?" Li Yijie said, "When you were unconscious, a lot of things happened. I don't have time to tell you the details right now. The tomb is about to collapse. Everyone else has already escaped, only the two of us are left."
Cheng Jiahua looked around and sneered, "Alliance Head Li, I was unconscious and that's why I'm trapped here. How can you, a dignified Alliance Head, end up in the same situation as me? Isn't that too cowardly? Humph, what's the matter? The righteous and chivalrous people only care about running for their lives when they're in danger. Unexpectedly, no one cares about the life or death of your Alliance Head? "As soon as he woke up and regained some consciousness, his words became aggressive again.
Li Yijie laughed bitterly and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I've already … escaped. Now I'm rushing back to save you. "Cheng Jiahua coldly snorted and said," Why? "Li Yijie didn't hear clearly." What did you say? "he asked. Cheng Jiahua repeated," Why? "
At this time, another rock fell down. Li Yijie wanted to throw him to the ground to avoid it, but the other side seemed to be stiff and didn't move. Li Yijie only had enough time to put his back in front of him before the rock landed heavily on his back. Fortunately, the rock was flat and didn't have any sharp edges. But the huge impact was like a heavy blow to his heart. He felt something sweet in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground. With a bitter laugh he said, "Why? Why did I get hit by a rock? Ay … "
Cheng Jiahua's face stiffened. "Why did you come to save me?" he asked indifferently. "You're the Alliance Head, but you saved a commoner like me. You didn't have any capital, and you didn't get the least bit of profit. Moreover, life or death is as easy as death. It doesn't seem to be worth it, right?"
Li Yijie said, "In my opinion, once people are born, there's no distinction between high and low. The hope of life must be fought for by oneself. Don't expect a low-level person to give up his life to a high-ranking person. Just now, the tomb was full of fainted Yellow Mountain Sect disciples. I saved them one by one. So what? "
Cheng Jiahua snorted and said, "Idiot. What if they die? You want to use this to make your reputation as the Alliance Head? "Li Yijie laughed bitterly and said," If they die, what's the use of having a reputation? I really only wanted to save people, I didn't think too much about it. "
Cheng Jiahua suddenly gasped for breath. His upper body suddenly leaned forward. "You can't die!" he said anxiously. "If you die, Miss Xue … Miss Nangong will be very sad! I don't want to see her sad tears. Don't worry about me. Go, go quickly! "He raised his hand and pushed Li Yijie's shoulder several times. He was so tired that he was gasping for breath.
Li Yijie said, "What's the point? We're all in this situation, we should help each other in the same boat. Looks like you really care about my Shimei. Thank you very much. You know, I can't watch people die in front of me. Others say that I'm too soft-hearted. "Cheng Jiahua said," If your heart is too soft, you're indecisive. You won't be able to achieve great things. "
Li Yijie sighed and said, "Xueer said that this is my advantage, but it's also my biggest shortcoming. If I only rely on my strength, I don't care about other people's lives. If I lose the people's hearts, how can I be in power for a long time? Do you want me to learn from Jiang Liechen? "
Cheng Jiahua chuckled and said in a soft voice, "Thank … you … very much." Usually if he wanted to pretend to be perfunctory, he would do it as soon as he opened his mouth. This time it was rare for him to sincerely express his gratitude, but his words were incomparably stiff. And then he said, "Hey, don't tell me you're just an armchair strategist? Why have you been busy for so long, but we still can't go out? What the hell are you doing? "
With a bitter laugh Li Yijie said, "You should ask yourself why your leg is pressed down by those stones." Right now his forehead was sweating profusely. He had been fiddling with those two stones for half a day, but he still did not find anything.
Cheng Jiahua raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh?" He asked. He tried to move his leg, and sure enough he felt a burst of soreness and numbness from his heel, spreading all the way to his waist, his whole body spasmed. Below his knee there was a heavy feeling, as if something was pressing down on his leg, as if his leg was no longer his own. When he thought about it again, he realized that he was the burden. Without saying anything, he pulled out his sword and chopped down on his leg. His movement was straightforward, without the slightest bit of sloppiness.
Li Yijie's hand was quick, and his palm hit his meridian. Cheng Jiahua groaned, his wrist was sore, and his sword fell to the ground.
Li Yijie forced a bitter laugh and said, "What are you doing? Are you going to chop off your own leg? "Cheng Jiahua coldly said," There's no need to keep a burden. "Li Yijie sighed and said," I've heard that this arm of yours was chopped off in the same way. " Cheng Jiahua cast a disgusted glance at the empty sleeve next to him and said, "If you don't, you won't even be able to keep your life. Everything has to be sacrificed in order to gain something, and now it's the same. Tell me, is one leg more important, or two lives more important, hm? "
Li Yijie forced a smile and said, "When you say 'two lives', you finally include me. I have to thank you. But you're really ruthless to yourself, to chop off your own leg without even a moment's hesitation. I admire you. I've seen a lot of ruthless people, but you're the only one I've seen who sees himself as an enemy. "
Cheng Jiahua said, "Can I take that as a compliment? You're wrong, I don't see myself as an enemy. Nobody would. True ruthlessness is not killing people without blinking an eye, spilling blood over a radius of several hundred li, and leaving no fowls or dogs behind. Instead, it's being ruthless to your own body. In order to achieve your goal, you don't hesitate to use the most vicious means to treat yourself. Only when a person is ruthless enough to himself can he achieve great things in the world. Just like an arm or a leg, if you lose it, then so be it. But compared to the whole world, which one is more important? Between gains and losses, the Imperial Academy won't know how to choose. Because of this, you can only hole up in the empty position of the Alliance Leader, unable to advance any further. "
Li Yijie said, "Nonsense, if you're ruthless to yourself, in the future you'll lose your life as well. How can you achieve anything? How can you establish anything?"
