Chapter 26

As soon as he stepped into the cave, Lu Tianyu realized something was wrong. With the keen sense of smell of a cultivator, he detected a faint trace of blood in the damp and dark cave.

Perhaps due to the long time that had passed, the smell of blood was very light, but Lu Tianyu still caught it.

"Xiao Yi, do you smell the blood?" Afraid of scaring his mother, Lu Tianyu did not shout but communicated telepathically with Lu Yi behind him.

"Yes, Brother Tianyu, someone must have entered this cave before, and that person was injured," Lu Yi nodded and replied telepathically.

"Right, I think so too. Xiao Yi, stay behind and protect Mother. I'll go ahead and investigate the situation," Lu Tianyu thought for a moment, made a decision, and then sped up, heading straight for the depths of the cave.

The entrance of the cave was small, but the deeper he went, the larger the cave became. At a glance, the bottom of the cave was a natural cavern of about a hundred square meters.

Countless white crystals hung from the ceiling, continuously oozing blood, which dripped to the ground with a pitter-patter sound, echoing loudly in the spacious cave.

Stepping on the slightly damp sandy ground, Lu Tianyu opened all his senses. The divine sense of a cultivator always enveloped a three-meter radius around him, ready to react immediately to any changes.

However, even when Lu Tianyu reached the bottom of the cave, the hundred-square-meter cavern showed no signs of abnormality, and there was not a single person in sight.

"Strange, the smell of blood is stronger here. Someone must have been here not long ago. Could it be that the person came in and then left?" Lu Tianyu frowned, immediately intensified the circulation of his dantian, and channeled all his battle qi to his eyes. Instantly, his eyes emitted a faint red glow in the dark cavern, like two red searchlights, quickly scanning the area.

Suddenly, Lu Tianyu's gaze stopped at a small crack on the east side of the cavern. The crack seemed to have been artificially created, with clear signs of polishing. Moreover, on the ground below the crack, there was a faint trace of dark purple blood.

Lu Tianyu moved quickly and rushed to the crack, peering inside.

Seeing the situation inside the crack, Lu Tianyu was greatly surprised. Deep in the crack was a small stone cave, and in the corner of the western side, a person covered in blood lay on the ground. The blood had long since soaked into the person's clothes, turning them black and purple.

"Who is it?" Lu Tianyu shouted, his voice echoing in the cavern for a long time.

But Lu Tianyu's shout had no effect. The person in the cave remained motionless, eyes tightly closed, as if dead.

"Is it a dead person?" Lu Tianyu's heart sank.

"Brother Tianyu, who were you talking to? Is there someone else in the cave?" At this moment, Lu Yi, supporting Li Xianghui, slowly approached.

"No, Xiao Yi, you take Mother to rest outside the cavern. I'll check it out first to make sure there are no venomous snakes or wild beasts that might scare her," Lu Tianyu immediately turned to Lu Yi and said.

"Okay." Lu Yi nodded and obediently helped Li Xianghui sit on a large rock outside the cavern to rest.

Lu Tianyu pushed with his right hand, and the rocks blocking the crack fell with a clatter, pushed into the small stone cave ahead.

Lu Tianyu bent down and squeezed through the crack, brushing off the damp mud on his body, and rushed to the person lying on the ground in the western corner of the stone cave.

As he approached, Lu Tianyu saw that the person was young, about his age, but his face was deathly pale, devoid of any vitality.

Lu Tianyu suddenly pressed his right hand on the person's heart and immediately discovered that the heart was still beating, albeit extremely weakly and intermittently.

"He's still alive." Lu Tianyu was overjoyed and immediately lifted the person from the ground, sitting behind him in a cross-legged position, placing his hands on the person's shoulders, and continuously channeling battle qi.

As soon as the battle qi entered the person's body, Lu Tianyu's face changed dramatically. His battle qi detected that the person's internal organs were all out of place, with fragments scattered randomly, clearly shattered by a powerful force, and his life was hanging by a thread.

Lu Tianyu's heart sank. To be honest, the person's injuries were too severe, and with his current strength, he could not save him. Only someone with the late-stage strength of a warrior, like his grandfather Lu Bingwei, might be able to勉强接驳此人体内断裂的经脉，使他的五脏六腑复位。

但自己虽然救不了他，却能让此人暂时苏醒片刻，也就是俗称的“回光返照”。如果此人还有什么未了的心愿或者遗言，自己或许能帮其带给他的亲人朋友。

想到这里，陆天羽立刻毫不犹豫地加大了战气输送。在他的战气刺激下，原本奄奄一息的年轻人终于张开了嘴巴，发出一声轻微的痛呼，随即缓缓睁开了紧闭的双目。

“兄台，你醒了。”陆天羽立刻从地上站起，奔到年轻人前方，关切地问道。

虽然陆天羽与此人素不相识，但他天性善良，此刻猝然遇到这么一个将死之人，自是不能袖手旁观。

“你……你是谁？”见到陆天羽，年轻人眼中顿时冒出极度警惕的光芒，厉声喝问起来，只因重伤在身，所以发出的声音也很是微弱。

“兄台，你别紧张，我没有恶意。只是在洞内见到重伤的你，这才出手帮你治疗了一番。但很抱歉，由于我实力有限，无法救活你。你若有什么心愿未了，或者有什么遗言要交代的，请快说出来吧，或许我能帮你将临终遗言带给你的亲人和朋友。”陆天羽立刻面带悲色地说道。

“这么说，你不是来抢夺我的流云符的了？”年轻人见陆天羽言辞诚恳，不似作假，立刻缓缓说道。

“流云符？”陆天羽闻言不由一愣。

年轻人察言观色之下，顿时更加相信了，看来陆天羽的确不是来抢自己东西的人。

“兄台，谢谢你。”年轻人挣扎着从地上爬起，艰难地“咳咳”了两声，立刻盯着陆天羽疑惑地问道：“不知兄台如何称呼？”

“陆天羽。”陆天羽立刻据实相告。

“哦，你就是陆家镇那个有名的废……少爷？”说到“废物”二字，年轻人发现自己说漏了嘴，很是失礼，顿时脸色微微一红，省去了这两字。

“不错，正是我。不知兄台尊姓大名，为何重伤流落此地？”陆天羽也不见怪，毕竟以前的自己，的确是废物一个，也没什么好讳忌的，只是心中很是疑惑，这年轻人为何认识自己？

“对不起，陆兄，在下失礼了。看来传闻有误，陆兄你并非无法修炼之人，现在的你，实力丝毫不下于我。我名赵天笑，乃是这浠水城赵家武馆馆主之子，只因遭遇歹徒袭击，这才落到如此悲惨境地。”年轻人不由幽幽一叹，恨声道。

“啊？赵兄，那你可要我帮什么忙呢？不妨直言。”陆天羽闻言微微一惊，赵家武馆，他以前倒也听四叔讲过，这个武馆乃是堂堂四大家族之一的赵家在浠水城开设的一个分支，实力很是不弱。

没想到堂堂赵家武馆馆主之子，竟然沦落到如此悲惨的地步。

“陆兄，小弟自知时间无多，也不再啰嗦了。小弟之所以遭到了歹徒袭击，全是因为此物的缘故。”赵天笑说到这里，立刻艰难地抬起右手，按在了腰间储物袋上，伴随着一阵耀眼的红色战气闪过，手中立刻多出一物。

此物乃是一个巴掌大的令牌，陆天羽一眼望去，立刻见到，令牌正面雕刻着“流云派”三个苍劲有力的大字，反面则是无数七彩云朵图案。

“这是流云派的信物流云符？”陆天羽见到此物，顿时忍不住脸色微变。此物，他以前虽未见过，但却在闲暇之时，听四叔讲过。

神荒大陆，除了势力庞大的四大家族外，还有三门六派。

三门，分别是混沌门、妖门、神门。

六派，乃是流云派、音波派、神行派、阴阳派、古道派、妖媚派。

这三门六派，每一个都是大陆赫赫有名的大门派，他们的势力错综复杂，雄踞在大陆各个地方，可说是一方之雄。

而流云派，则是这六派中，势力处于中坚的一个大门派，不容小视。

传闻只要持有这流云符之人，便可拥有参加流云派弟子选拔的资格。若资质绝佳，有幸成为流云派内门弟子，那么，日后前途定不可限量。

对于陆府那样的小家族来说，根本无缘获得流云符。流云派的流云符，也只会在每年一次的弟子选拔之前，派发给那些大家族，让他们在家族中选出优秀的子弟，参加流云派一年一度的弟子选拔。

因此，陆天羽以前听四叔讲起这流云符，也只有暗暗羡慕的份，根本无缘得见。没想到今日机缘巧合之下，救了一人，竟然身怀流云符。

“这么说，赵兄你是因为身怀这流云符而遭遇歹人袭击，流落此地的了？”陆天羽立刻追问了一句。

“不错。”赵天笑闻言，咬牙切齿地恨恨点了点头。

“那你可知那歹人是什么来头？”陆天羽继续问道。

“这个我不是很清楚，因为那袭击我的歹人，面罩黑布，将整张脸都蒙了起来，看不清容貌。但小弟在战败潜逃之际，撕下了他右臂衣袖，在他的右臂上，发现了一块指甲大小的暗红胎记。若能找到这胎记，便能寻到仇家了。”赵天笑缓缓道。
