A few steps into the cave stands a stone tablet with the warning "Those who trespass will die" engraved on it. The light passed over the stone monument, and the cracks and passages between the rock walls were so winding that it was impossible to see what was going on inside.
Ning Tao felt a little worried, "Will there be any traps or magic circles?"
Emperor Xuan is so profound that even old demons like Yin Molan are very afraid of him. They even say that he has ascended to immortality. If his cave is equipped with traps, magic circles, etc., the danger index will be extremely high.
But we’re all here, we can’t just turn around and get out of the way just because we see the sentence “Those who trespass will die”, right
Ning Tao walked over the stone tablet with his mobile phone and walked cautiously deeper into the cave. The lights swayed and the footsteps echoed in the silent cave. Some rocks were like ghosts and beasts lurking in the darkness, ready to pounce on him at any time to give him, the intruder, a fatal blow.
At the beginning, he walked in a terrifying way, but gradually, after no unexpected incidents occurred, his tense nerves relaxed a little. Passing through the twists and turns of the gap passage, a cave inside the mountain appeared in front of him.
It is not big, just like a screening room that can accommodate hundreds of people watching movies. The space at the bottom is wide and the space above is very small. It is shaped like a pointed hat. The height between the bottom of the cave and the top of the cave is about thirty meters. Strips of stalactites hang down, like bamboo shoots growing upside down. Some are large and long, and some squeeze each other to form all kinds of strange shapes. There are many small holes cut into the stone wall going up, which are round and like honeycombs, but I don’t know what they are for.
"It seems there is no danger." Ning Tao thought to himself, and stepped from the end of the passage into the cave floor.
But with this kick, the ground beneath his feet suddenly sank a little. He subconsciously raised his head, and at that moment, the sound of something rolling suddenly came from the artificially dug round holes on the top of the cave, and then large and small stones fell down like raindrops!
Just now he was wondering what those round holes were for, but now he knew they were for dropping rocks.
In panic, Ning Tao moved his feet and jumped back.
Boom!
A huge boulder suddenly rolled out from the side of the passage behind him, blocking the way back.
Ning Tao's back hit the boulder and was bounced back due to the reaction force. His sense of crisis rose sharply to the critical point, spiritual power surged out from the Niwan Palace, and the spiritual power air bag was completed in an instant. At that moment, a rock several times larger than his head hit him on the head.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound, and he was hit so hard that stars appeared in his eyes, and his skull seemed to be cracked. In desperation, he pushed his waist back, and when the stone fell from his head, his back was pressed against the boulder blocking the passage.
boom!
Another stone hit his instep. His mouth opened, but no sound came out.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Pieces of boulders fell from the top of the cave, causing the ground to tremble. With that density and area, let alone a human being, not even a bird can escape this rain of stones!
If Ning Tao hadn't mastered the magical skill of being able to attack casually, his life might have been decided here.
The rain of stones stopped, but Ning Tao was still clinging to the boulder, with cold sweat on his forehead. The horrific experience just now also made him determined. If he ventures into a similar place again in the future, he must be fully prepared before entering. Just now, if what fell was not a stone, but a spear or something, he would have been dead. Who would he ask to redress his grievances
After being stunned for several minutes, Ning Tao moved away the stone that was still pressing on his instep and continued moving forward.
The ink in the Xuntu inkstone spilled out when he dodged the stone, but it was no longer needed. After entering the inner space of the cave, Ning Tao found a small field paved with spiritual soil, covering an area of at least ten square meters!
This situation is indeed normal. Xuanjizi is the owner of the Xuntu Inkstone. If he lived for a thousand or two thousand years, it would not be surprising that he used the Xuntu Inkstone to find so much spiritual soil.
There are several kinds of spiritual materials planted in the small spiritual field. He carefully identified it and found that there was a ginseng plant with colorful leaves. It was full of colors under the light, which was very magical. A wolfberry plant has dozens of black wolfberry trees on it, each crystal clear, like ink jade beads. A radish has white leaves, and the little radish exposed outside the spiritual soil is as green as emerald. There is also a green onion, which is blood red all over. Its color and texture are like the best blood coral.
However, this is only Ning Tao's judgment based on the shape characteristics. It is unknown whether these four spiritual materials are ginseng, wolfberry, radish and green onion. His cultivation knowledge is really lacking and needs to be recharged.
"The clinic has a small space and there is no place to put the spiritual soil when we move it back. It is better to stay here and let the spiritual materials grow here. The spiritual soil in the clinic can also be brought here to expand the planting area." Ning Tao thought like this. Thinking.
After walking past the "Spiritual Field" and walking forward for a while, a stone gate opened on the cliff came into Ning Tao's sight.
The stone door was closed tightly, so he tried to push it. I thought it couldn't be pushed, but with this push the stone door opened. When the stone door slid inside, he jumped to the side quickly to avoid the hidden weapons that might be ejected from inside.
No hidden weapons were fired from the stone door.
Ning Tao returned to the door and took a flashlight with his mobile phone. He was shocked when he saw it.
Behind the stone door is a room with a stone table and bookshelf. The bookshelf is filled with books and bamboo slips. There is also a stone bed, and a mummy is sitting cross-legged on the stone bed.
There was only a layer of skin left on the mummy's face, the eye sockets were sunken, and there seemed to be nothing behind the eyelids. His clothes had long been weathered, and there was a dent on his bare chest, which looked like his ribs had been shattered by a slap. He held a fan in his right hand. The fan was still in good condition, but a few of its ribs were broken, and the paper stuck to the ribs was also torn.
Ning Tao was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He carefully walked into the stone house and was thinking about a question in his mind, "Isn't he just a mysterious person?"
Yin Molan said that Emperor Xuan had transcended the tribulation and ascended to immortality. If the mummy sitting cross-legged on the stone bed was Emperor Xuan, then he had not ascended to immortality, but to heaven.
Ning Tao's suspicion soon became true. There was a jade pendant hanging on the waist of the mummy. The jade pendant was engraved with the words "Xuan Tianzi". That is to say, during the close inspection, he also determined that Xuan Tianzi's chest had indeed suffered a heavy blow. Three ribs were broken, and one of them penetrated into the heart.
Xuan Tianzi's death was apparently related to the injury to his chest.
Ning Tao took out the fan from Xuan Tianzi's hand, and it was heavy in his hand. The fan bones were made of spiritual metal, and it was freezing cold in his hand. Fan paper is not ordinary paper, but woven from plant fibers. After opening it, the words "Unbreakable" were written on the fan.
Ning Tao smiled bitterly, "What can't be broken? It's already broken like this. But this fan is cold. If you take it back and repair it with a broken cauldron, it can also be used as an air-conditioning fan. Fan it and you'll get a cool breeze."
I don’t know how Emperor Xuan felt when he heard Ning Tao say this.
Ning Tao inserted the unbreakable fan into the waistband of his trousers. Just when he was about to go to the bookshelf to see if there were any useful books on cultivation knowledge, he suddenly found that there seemed to be something sitting under Xuan Tianzi's buttocks, with only the exposed Got a horn.
"Senior Xuan Tianzi, I'm offended." Ning Tao reached out and grabbed the horn and pulled it.
Wow!
Xuan Tianzi's bones suddenly collapsed, his arms fell off, his ribs collapsed, his head rolled off his neck, rolled twice on the stone bed, and then fell to the ground.
Ning Tao opened his mouth wide, closed it after ten seconds, and then said, "I'm sorry."
What Xuan Tianzi pressed on his buttocks was a piece of spiritual paper used by cultivators to draw talismans. This kind of paper was made from the pulp of spiritual bamboo and would not weather for thousands of years. This kind of paper is extremely precious and is much higher quality than the special prescription signatures used by Tianwai Clinic to write prescription contracts.
Ning Tao opened the spiritual paper and looked up.
It was written on the spiritual paper: This Daoxuan Emperor lived his whole life, and was only one step away from overcoming the tribulation and ascending to heaven. However, fate played tricks on people, and he could only regret it for the rest of his life. In the ancient spirit era, the world was full of spiritual energy and spiritual materials. As long as cultivators had the understanding and worked hard enough, they would have the opportunity to cross the last barrier and enter the fairy world. But now the spiritual energy in this world is thin, and cultivation resources are extremely scarce. Even if the cultivators have the talent, they still have to cross the barrier and enter the fairy world.
What is even more hateful is the lack of spiritual energy and the rampant growth of desire demons, creating countless new demons and causing harm to the world. If things continue like this, the world will be in danger. I have killed countless demons and demons throughout my life and defended the right path in the world, but in the end I still failed. A group of new demons from the west set a trap, using the new demons as bait, and Bendao was ambushed. However, Bendao fought his way out of the siege, but he soon found out that he would be doomed.
This Taoist left this suicide note, and the person who sees this will be the successor of this Taoist Cave Mansion. I have only one last wish. The leader of the new demons is Adolf Cid. I hope you can get rid of it, so that the spirit of this Tao in heaven can find peace.
The stone forest on the mountainside is the magic circle left behind by this Taoism, but it is a pity that it has become ineffective due to lack of spiritual energy. There is a secret passage under the square monument, and there are secret passages under the stone bed. The entrance to the cave is closed, and a secret passage under the bed provides access to and from the cave.
The suicide note was signed by Emperor Xuan.
"Adolf West?" Ning Tao stared at the name of the new demon leader on the suicide note. He didn't know why he thought of a terrible figure, Adolf Hitler.
But he shook his head again, how could this be possible? Although Emperor Xuan did not specify when he died, considering the degree of weathering of his body, it must have been hundreds of years at least. How could the new demon leader who set up an ambush and kill Emperor Xuan be Adolf Hitler
Ning Tao picked up Xuan Tianzi's head and placed it on the stone bed, then bowed deeply to Xuan Tianzi's bones, "I am the owner of Tianwai Clinic, and it is my duty to do justice for heaven. If If the Adolf Sid that the senior said is still in this world, I will definitely avenge you and kill him." After a pause, he added, "I want to put the senior to his grave, does he have any objection? "
Emperor Xuan obviously wouldn't have any objections.
"Okay, I'll bury my senior another day." Ning Tao bowed to the bones of Emperor Xuan again, and then went to the bookshelf.
The books and bamboo slips on the bookshelf are all related to cultivation, and they are all handwritten.
Ning Tao took down a "Compendium of Spiritual Materials" and sat at the stone table to read through it. In the book, he found descriptions of the four spiritual materials grown in the "spirit fields" outside. The colorful ginseng was called colorful ginseng. Only canyons with frequent rainbows and abundant spiritual energy could breed colorful ginseng. The radish with white leaves is called jade radish, and it can only be produced in jade mines with spiritual energy. The blood-red green onions are called corpse onions, and they can only be produced in ancient battlefields where mountains of corpses are piled up. That wolfberry is called the devil's kidney, and it can only be conceived on the graves of those extremely evil people.
These four spiritual materials are extremely precious, and they are all top-quality spiritual materials for refining elixirs. Especially the devil's kidney. People with kidney deficiency can get rid of the deficiency syndrome and regain their prosperity by eating just one kidney.
After seeing this, Ning Tao was immersed in the knowledge of "Spiritual Materials Compendium". He didn't draw the blood lock and leave Xuan Tianzi's cave until his cell phone ran out of battery.
Now, the cave in Jiange Mountain is also his cave, and he doesn't take any secret passages under the bed at all.
