Zhou Shaobai and Mu Ningzhi walked up to check carefully and saw that the stone statues were carved extremely exquisitely, like living people. However, they were covered with a thick layer of dust, and some details on the stone statues were blurred. Some of them collapsed on the ground due to earthquakes and were broken into several pieces.

These stone statues are not repeated in terms of appearance, figure, or clothing and movements, and their expressions are different and lifelike. Mu Ning's heart is meticulous and counts it, and there are thirty-six stone statues in total.

After seeing the stone statue, the two of them continued to walk towards the hall of the temple. Not far away, they saw a plaque falling to the ground.

Zhou Shaobai approached with a fire note and reached out to brush away the dust on it. He saw that it was the four big words "Performing the Way for Heaven".

As he was thinking, Mu Ningzhi spoke out, "Do you still remember that before we set out, the old man next to the sign said that there might be an imperial tomb in the Duantou Valley, and then he was scolded by the official. Look at the objects in front of you, is it really an imperial tomb?"

Zhou Shaobai shook his head: "No. Look at this plaque, the words on it are about to act for heaven. It is absolutely impossible for the plaque with such words to appear in the imperial tomb. And if it is an imperial tomb, the scale here would be too small."

Mu Ningzhi nodded: "What you said makes sense."

The two of them looked carefully inside and outside the temple, but found nothing else.

At this time, the fire broke out, so Zhou Shao picked up a wooden stick and used the same trick again, and made another torch.

After struggling for a long time, the two of them were exhausted, so they sat on the temple steps to rest.

Zhou Shaobai looked at Mu Ningzhi with the raging fire, and suddenly burst into laughter.

Mu Ning Zhiqi said: "Why are you laughing?"

"I have always regarded you as a fairy Linfan in my heart, but now, look at yourself, haha..." Zhou Shaobai said, unable to help laughing.

It turned out that Mu Ningzhi had just had a fierce battle with the giant insects in the grotto. A lot of giant insect body fluid was splashed with it, his clothes were burned to pieces, and he fell into a deep pit and crawled into the secret passage. His hair was dispersed and his cheeks were covered in dust, and he was in a mess.

"You are like a beggar woman now, haha!" Zhou Shaobai smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth.

Mu Ningzhi pouted and said, "Hmph, how good do you think you are now? If I were a beggar woman, you would be a beggar man!"

As soon as he said that, Mu Ningzhi felt something was wrong, and his face became hot. Fortunately, he could not see clearly in the fire.

Zhou Shaobai was not a very careful person either. He rubbed his stomach and sighed, "Beggar's mother, the beggar's male womb is hungry and thirsty, but what should we do?"

When he was fighting with the insects in the grottoes, he lost his bag. Mu Ningzhi looked at it and reached out to take out a steamed bun from his bag and handed it over: "Save some food, I only have two steamed buns in my bag."

Zhou Shaobai took the steamed bun with gratitude and ate it all in a few seconds. Mu Ningzhi saw him eating voraciously, and suddenly thought in his heart that if the two of them were trapped here for the rest of their lives, it would be great to watch him eat every day.

She quickly shook her head and thought to herself, am I really confused? Why do these strange thoughts always come up!

Zhou Shaobai ate all the steamed buns, burped a few times, lay on the stone slabs to rest, and suddenly said, "You say, Junior Brother Li, Senior Brother Zhang, Miss Yu and others, you should be looking for us at this time."

When Mu Ningzhi heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "Maybe we are the only one who survives."

"No, they must be alive and will definitely come to save us." Zhou Shaobai murmured.

But Mu Ningzhi thought blankly, would this really happen?

Sleepiness came and the two fell asleep.

When I woke up again, I don’t know how many hours it took.

When Zhou Shaobai opened his eyes, he saw that it was pitch black. He slapped his thighs and was extremely upset: "Oh no! I'm too careless!"

"What's going on?" Mu Ningzhi's voice was heard.

"I slept to death, but forgot to build a fire, and the torch was burned out."

Mu Ningzhi said, "Then order another one."

"It's gone, the fire brokers are used up." As soon as Zhou Shaobai said this, both of them were silent.

In the endless darkness, hope becomes extremely fragile and is most likely to be lost, while fear and fragility grow and spread unscrupulously through the cover of darkness.

After a while, Mu Ningzhi suddenly said, "I'm afraid."

Zhou Shaobai stretched out his hand in the voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Mu Ningzhi also reached out his hand, and he tried to touch the darkness for a long time, and finally held it together.

Zhou Shaobai found Mu Ningzhi and sat down next to her: "Say something, otherwise we might really not be able to hold on to them to save us."

"Do you really think we still have any help?" Mu Ningzhi asked indifferently.

"It will definitely be, I won't lie to you." Zhou Shaobai heard this and was afraid that she would have a life of death again, so he hurriedly said, "Anyway, there is nothing to do. Let's chat. Let's talk about whatever you think of. I'll ask first. Uh, why are you so afraid of insects?"

Mu Ningzhi said quietly: "When I was a child, she once learned swords from my master. She demonstrated that move countless times and explained it countless times, but I still didn't understand it. The master was angry and ordered someone to lock me in a small house. The hut was very dirty, and all kinds of terrible little bugs crawled around. Some even climbed onto my feet, bite me, and bit me. I was very scared, and I cried. I asked my senior sister who was guarding me to plead with my master, but the senior sister sneered and said, "Aren't you very respected by your master? Now how can you be proud of it?" At night, the hut was dark and cold, and there were little bugs. I was afraid, I was really afraid... Woo woo..."

As he said that, Mu Ningzhi actually started crying again.

Zhou Shaobai secretly scolded himself for asking such a question. He stretched out his arm, took Mu Ningzhi into his arms, and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, am I still here? With me with you, you don't have to be afraid of insects or darkness. If it's cold, I will hold you."

"What you said seriously?" Mu Ningzhi asked quietly.

"Every sentence is true." Zhou Shaobai hugged Mu Ningzhi even tighter, but unexpectedly his stomach started to scream again.

Zhou Shaobai had an idea, pinched his nose and coughed twice, pretending to be an old voice and said, "Oh, the beggar's man is hungry again, beggar's mother, what should you do if you think this is done?"

Mu Ningzhi was amused by him and laughed out loud. Zhou Shaobai said, "I finally waited until you smiled for the third time, but unfortunately I can't see you now."

"Don't make fun of me." Mu Ningzhi groped and took out the last steamed bun from his arms and handed it over: "For you."

Zhou Shaobai was stunned: "Give it to me? This is the last steamed bun, you haven't eaten it before."

"It's not bad, I'm fine. You're so hungry, so eat it quickly." Mu Ningzhi said without saying a word and put the steamed bun in his palm.

Zhou Shaobai felt warm, and his hand holding the steamed bun trembled slightly, and he didn't know how to reply.
