The rain curtain was cut off in the middle, the rockery slowly moved away, and behind the stone door was a dark cave.
Long Xing took a step back, a little surprised. It turned out that the protruding stone pillar was really a trap. The removed stone door retracted into the mountain on one side. Rainwater hung directly from the top, and streams of water still covered the entrance of the cave.
Long Xing raised his spirits and looked behind the water curtain with his purple pupils. Stone steps extended downward from the rockery stone doorway.
"Go down and have a look. The good stuff is down there, I can feel it."
The voice of the ancient jade spirit sounded again.
Long Xing suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, raised his feet and entered the stone cave door under the rain curtain, and went down the steps. Although the cave was dark, Long Xing's eyesight could almost see at night, and he could see everything under the steps.
Long Xing walked for nearly half an hour and finally reached the end of the stone steps, where a larger stone door was tightly closed.
This place is deep underground, dark and humid, but very quiet. The sound of rain has long been left at the entrance of the stone gate. Long Xing looked at the dark doorway in front of him, with many runes carved on it. It's not like words in reality, it's more like a Taoist priest's talisman.
"This door is weird. It's not easy to open it."
The voice sounded in Long Xing's mind.
"I've never seen such talismans before. It's not like oracle bone inscriptions. It's similar to the patterns on the clothes of Maoshan Taoist priests." Long Xing's first impression was the patterns on the Taoist robes.
"The Maoshan Taoist priests you are talking about are not all fake spiritual people with no Taoist practices at all. I have lived for thousands of years and have seen many Taoist priests. I don't know this pattern."
The voice in Long Xing's mind conveyed the message.
"You don't even know how to open it. There's something good inside the door. It's not in vain."
Long Xing responded with some disappointment.
"Don't worry, let me think about it. I'm very weak now. It's really difficult to open this stone door. Remember that you have a scrapped Mu Xin Huang Jing on you. Take it out first and stick it on the talisman in the middle."
After a pause, the ancient jade spirit continued to pass on the message.
"First of all, I'd like to remind you that after opening this door, I will enter a period of weakness and may not be able to communicate with you. When you enter this door, don't be surprised by anything you see. There are many things you have never been exposed to."
"There is a box with strong spiritual energy inside. After you get it, put the contents in the box together with my body. Maybe we will meet in the future."
Long Xing carefully understood the information in his mind, and he had a good impression of this inexplicable ancient jade spirit.
After pondering for a moment, Long Xing no longer hesitated. He took out the woodlotus essence on his body, joined the ancient jade pendant around his neck, and pasted it on the talisman pattern in the middle of the stone door.
He also secretly transferred the spiritual power in his Dantian to his arm. Due to his eyesight, he gently placed his palm on the ancient jade.
Suddenly, a faint luster lit up, and a green circle of light began to center on the pattern, condensing towards the central talisman.
Faintly, Long Xing could see that the talisman pattern was spreading light around it in circles. Long Xing felt that his Dantian was stuffy, and his spiritual energy was instantly empty.
He didn't dare to withdraw his palm, so he could only grit his teeth and desperately squeeze out his potential. In the end, his teeth bit his lip until it bled.
There were also circles of Qi and blood flowing in Long Xing's chest, forming a regular pattern, reflecting the talisman pattern.
When the talisman pattern at the center of the stone gate glowed with dazzling light, Long Xing, who was already close to collapse, suddenly felt waves of dizziness welling up from the depths of his mind.
Immediately afterwards, his purple pupils became bloodshot, and after the reflection, there was no trace of light anymore. He was horrified to find that he actually appeared in a foggy and dark space.
There is no light here, the silence is terrifying, and the sound of a drop of water seems to penetrate people's hearts. Dark, damp, cold.
The sudden change made Long Xing fearful. No matter what, without the consciousness of the ancient jade spirit, he was only a nineteen-year-old young man.
"Chi!"
A black shadow flew in front of him. Long Xing's heart tightened and his pores stood up.
He touched it casually and saw a shelf touching his fingertips, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this is the space behind the stone door? Otherwise, how could there be anything like shelves?
At this time, Long Xing was filled with fear and could no longer see clearly what was in front of him.
He touched the tentacle lattice and moved forward step by step.
The subtle sound was particularly terrifying in the silent space, and Long Xing's ears were also buzzing.
Long Xing's expression was numb, and his heart was filled with fear and uneasiness. He groped forward little by little along the shelf he touched.
"What is this?"
What he touched in his hand was a slender, soft thing, which was cold and smooth at the beginning. Long Xing squeezed it with his hand, and it was as soft as gluten.
Long Xing pursed his lips tightly to prevent his blood from flowing out. At this time, Long Xing felt very hungry and tired. The thing he suddenly held in his hand made his desire even stronger.
The desire in his heart was struggling, I was hungry, I wanted to eat, and the things in his hands strengthened his desire. He raised his hand to pinch the soft and slippery thing and stuffed it into his mouth.
The gluten-like thing seemed to be psychic. It slipped into Long Xing's intestines and stomach, and he didn't even have time to chew and taste it.
If this situation were normal, it wouldn't be a big deal, but here is such a dark, damp and cold space, full of fear and danger.
Long Xing just couldn't control his desire, so he subconsciously put the gluten-like thing into his mouth.
Overwhelmed for a while, Long Xing felt a living thing moving around in his intestines and stomach. After a short while, he was paralyzed on the cold and wet ground.
Long Xing's face was pale, but fortunately the space was dark and he couldn't see his face. Sweat was flowing down his face. The gluten-like thing that entered the intestines and stomach finally coiled in the Dantian, replacing the empty area.
A faint trace of spiritual power grew in the Dantian.
Long Xing felt that his physical strength was rapidly recovering. When the cold spiritual power rushed to the top of his head, Long Xing's eyes lit up, his purple pupils glowed with dark green light, and everything in front of him appeared clearly in front of him.
Looking up, this is a huge underground palace-like airspace, with countless rows of shelves filled with all kinds of strange and unnamed things.
What Long Xing could identify were tiger bones, deer antlers, ginseng, and the unknown Gastrodia elata, Eucommia ulmoides and Ganoderma lucidum, as well as piles of white bones and faint blue grass.
What surprised Long Xing was that there was a shelf with a pile of things that looked like stacked blocks. Due to the loss of taste, Long Xing couldn't smell a trace of smell here.
Looking at the blue or white shelves with ghostly light in his eyes, Long Xing speculated that this might be the underground warehouse of the Mo family.
While he was in a daze, a shadow shone directly on Long Xing's head.
