Chen Lin and his companion followed the river and easily found the waterfall.
It can be said that the waterfall is thousands of feet high and extremely spectacular.
"Master, this is a good place. Why don't we develop it and use it as a base?"
Hua Ruyu soared into the air, flew around the waterfall, and came back with a look of satisfaction.
"Well, the scenery is indeed beautiful, but whether to build a base or not, let's first see what's behind the waterfall!"
Chen Lin replied, took out the crow puppet, and controlled it to fly behind the waterfall.
This place is nice, but if you want to get here, you need to first enter Li Fuyao’s dilapidated courtyard and then pass through the county town. It is not very convenient to travel back and forth.
Not to mention that something unexpected might happen during the process of coming in, once you encounter danger here, it would be troublesome to leave.
If he projected it in, he would appear directly in the county town, but he didn't have the courage.
County Magistrate Xiong and so many people have been searching for nearly a thousand years, but have not been able to find a way out. If he were to project himself in, he would be trapped here to death as well.
According to Xiong Ziqi, you can use guides or other means to enter other scenes in the projection state, and it will be fine as long as you do not return to reality. But when you want to return to reality, you must complete the tasks in all the scenes you have visited. As long as one of them is not completed, you will be considered to have violated the rules.
It can be said that the more scenes you visit, the greater the chance of death.
Therefore, even though Xiong Ziqi had the fourth-level pass authority, he had spent most of his time here over the years and rarely explored other scenes.
If you go to other scenes, you must complete the departure mission before you are done. Otherwise, you will never continue to the next one, so as not to forget the places you have been to.
Chen Lin had only guessed about this restriction before and didn't know about it.
He couldn't help but think of the cat-headed monster. Every time the other party appeared, it was basically its true form. This must be the reason.
The real body can enter the ordinary scene and leave without completing the task. As long as you have the coordinates, you can move freely between different scenes.
Even if you encounter a special scene that requires you to leave the mission, such as the silver scene, you will just be unable to leave, but you will not die without knowing it.
The gap between the two is huge.
In comparison, entering in person is more advantageous.
Of course, the Demon Realm could only be entered through projection. Entering in real body was a loophole caused by something unexpected. As the Demon Realm slowly recovers, this loophole may be repaired.
Chen Lin was thinking while paying attention to the crow puppet.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he said to Hua Ruyu: "There really is a cave behind the waterfall, and it seems to be quite large."
"I'll go take a look first!"
Hua Ruyu threw down a sentence, flapped her wings, and flew towards the waterfall.
Chen Lin opened his mouth, but didn't have time to stop him.
But he was not worried, because through the shared vision of the crow puppet, he had already discovered that there was no danger in the cave.
Soon, Hua Ruyu flew back holding the crow puppet.
He landed beside Chen Lin and said, "Master, there is only a cave, and I don't see any secret room."
Chen Lin nodded and said, "Since it is called a secret room, it must be very hidden. Let's go and take a look first."
As he spoke, he spread his soul wings and entered the cave behind the waterfall with Hua Ruyu.
The cave is a natural cave with no signs of human excavation. Although it is very large, as Hua Ruyu said, there is nothing unusual except for some peculiarly shaped stones.
There was no trace of the so-called secret room.
Chen Lin took out his flying sword and controlled it to pierce through the rock wall piece by piece to investigate the situation.
The rock wall was very hard, but under the attack of the spiritual treasure-level flying sword, it was as soft as tofu. It didn't take long for the sword to pierce all the rock walls.
"Do you feel any unusual fluctuations?"
Returning to the cave entrance, Chen Lin looked at Hua Ruyu and asked.
Hua Ruyu closed her eyes and shook her head, retracted the white light on her wings and said, "The space here is very stable, it doesn't look like there is any formation.
Chen Lin frowned when he heard this, then took out the green stone slab.
"Keep an eye on the outside for me while I try this thing out."
After giving the instruction, Chen Lin mobilized his innate talent and activated the stone slab.
A dazzling light suddenly burst out from the stone slab, and lines began to appear and converge together, eventually forming a complex pattern.
As before, there are no graphical changes.
"Buzz!"
But at this moment, the space trembled.
The moment the pattern was generated, lines emerged in the void inside the cave, forming an identical pattern in the middle!
This scene greatly surprised Chen Lin, and he stared at the pattern floating in the air with a curious look in his eyes.
The body retreated towards the cave entrance little by little.
He was worried that this was a summoning method, and would summon some terrifying creature.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. Instead, due to the insufficient supply of the source of talent, the pattern on the stone slab began to collapse, and the pattern in the void also faded little by little and disappeared.
After the strange sign completely dissipated, Chen Lin tentatively walked to the location where the pattern was condensed to check, but he didn't see anything.
No matter whether using divine thoughts, magic power, or soul power, no abnormalities were found.
Hua Ruyu also inspected the cave again. The white light on her wings continued to flash, sensing every inch of the space.
Finally, he shook his head.
Both of them fell silent.
It is obvious that there must be something abnormal, but their strength is not enough to detect it.
"Do you think this diagram is a teleportation array?"
Chen Lin asked.
Hua Ruyu has the ability to control space and is very sensitive to spatial fluctuations. She is much better than him in this respect.
But Hua Ruyu shook her head and said, "It doesn't look like it, but it's hard to say. After all, the pattern was condensed from the void, so there must be spatial fluctuations. But even if it is a teleportation array, it is not the conventional method we understand. It is hard to say where it is connected. Master, you'd better be careful and don't try it rashly."
Needless to say, Chen Lin also knew this.
He would never come into contact with such a strange phenomenon if he couldn't ensure his safety.
However, he was more inclined to believe that this pattern was a teleportation array, because he did not find the secret room mentioned in the text on the wall. Perhaps the secret room was at the other end of the pattern.
"Let's go back first and try to figure out what this pattern is."
The purpose of the stone slab has been found, so there is no need to stay here any longer. Chen Lin said goodbye and left Taiqing Mountain with Hua Ruyu.
After returning to the county town, he chose a location facing the street and hired local natives to build a house.
No matter whether you can use it or not, just prepare it first. After all, it’s the land given for free, so why not use it
This time, Chen Lin helped Xiong Ziqi kill Zhu Sankui and obtained a large amount of magic coins. He simply hired a housekeeper and some servants to take care of all affairs. Hua Ruyu stayed here to supervise temporarily. He returned to the dilapidated house, looked at the scroll where Li Fuyao was hiding again, and returned to the real world through the node.
"How is it, is there any new news recently?"
Liu Shengyuan was still guarding the node, and Chen Lin immediately asked.
"Reporting to the Lord, there is nothing else. It's just that Elder Xue sent a message saying that he wants to see you for something."
"oh?"
Chen Lin looked surprised.
Elder Xue is Xue Honglan. What could the other party want from him
Then he thought of something, nodded, and said, "You and Wu Wanshan continue to take turns guarding here. If there is anything, call me immediately."
After saying that, he used the teleportation array and left the underground space.
In the secret room inside the Yucai Sect mountain, Chen Lin appeared, glanced at the puppets around him, and returned to the cave.
Then he summoned Xue Honglan.
"Why, is Connie showing up?"
After Xue Honglan met with him, Chen Lin asked directly about the exit.
The other bird egg was on the other person's body. He was the one who asked the other person to help keep an eye on Connie. The other person must have come to him because of this matter.
Sure enough, Xue Honglan nodded and said, "Yes, Master. Three days ago, after I entered that scene, I met the lady Connie that Master mentioned. She asked me to tell your Master that she had contacted that person and the matter was resolved. She wanted to meet you to thank you in person."
