Mu Jingyu was shocked and quickly turned around and ran back, but the stone door was already tightly closed. Moreover, no door opening mechanism was found on the surrounding stone walls. Obviously, this stone door can only be opened from the outside. Once inside, it cannot be opened from the inside.
"Mu Jingyu, Mu Jingyu, if you can't find the blessed land of cave heaven here and practice the supreme magic skill, you will be trapped and die here..." Since he can't get out, he can only enter the depth of the stone road. Got it.
After walking about a dozen feet, there were three forks on both sides of the stone path. Two of them, like this one, are slightly narrow. There is only one stone path on the right hand side, which is much wider than the others.
"Which way should I go?"
Mu Jingyu held up the torch and inspected all the stone paths. Suddenly, he discovered that there were deep sword marks on each of the stone walls of the stone path.
These sword marks were obviously carved by someone with a sharp sword. Among them, the stone path he was on and the other two slightly narrower stone paths all had the word "forbidden" written in ancient characters. There was only one line of characters carved on the slightly wide stone path.
Mu Jingyu felt happy and worried at the same time. Fortunately, since there are sword marks left here, it means that someone has entered here before. What's worrying is that I don't know if that person walked out. And have you taken away the genius treasures that may appear here?
Knowing that he was overthinking it at the moment, Mu Jingyu secretly thought, "I don't care whether there are any genius treasures here, let's check them out in person."
Along the way, new forks kept appearing on both sides of the stone road. Some of them are wide and some are narrow. Fortunately, there are sword marks pointing the way at every fork in the road, just in time to prevent Mu Jingyu from going astray.
After walking about three or four miles, a different sword mark finally appeared on a stone path. Mu Jingyu examined it carefully and found that it was exactly the character " enter" engraved on it.
As his mind raced, he realized that this should be the place where the person who carved the words entered. Out of curiosity, I entered this stone path and wanted to see if there was an exit.
But at the end of the stone path, a huge stone door also appeared, blocking the way. However, it was different from the stone door he entered. This stone gate is not embedded in the stone wall. Instead, it seems to have been transported here later and specifically used to seal the stone path.
Seeing that the only way out was blocked, Mu Jingyu suddenly panicked. After calming down, he had no choice but to return to the stone path and then walked inside.
I don’t know how long I walked, but the palm tree torch was almost burning out. Just when Mu Jingyu's mood became heavier and heavier, a light suddenly lit up in front of his eyes. After rubbing his eyes vigorously to make sure it was not an hallucination, Mu Jingyu unconsciously quickened his pace.
After walking in the stone path for a long time, he was already a little uneasy.
A breeze blew from the light, blowing out the last trace of fire. Mu Jingyu threw the torch aside and secretly carried the Shaoyang Scripture to prevent any ferocious beasts from suddenly rushing out. Then, he held the stone ax tightly and walked out of the stone path.
A burst of fragrance hit my nostrils, and what I saw was a valley that was not too small. There are many trees and plants growing in the valley that Jingyu has never seen before, and many insects, birds and other various creatures live in them.
Seven or eight strange-shaped stone houses seem to be scattered in the valley. The walls had already been covered with vines, and a few mottled stone bricks were exposed.
In the middle of the valley is a tall palace with a strange shape. It is said to be a palace just because it is much larger than the other stone houses. On the tall roof, there is a stone statue that looks like a wolf's head.
Mu Jingyu put away the stone ax and walked out of the cave along the steps covered with weeds.
"Unexpectedly, there is such a mysterious place hidden inside Jiuhua Mountain. Judging from the shape of these stone houses, I am afraid they are the residences of ancient ancestors."
According to the unknown ancient book Shan Hai Jing, thousands of years ago, ancient ancestors already lived in this vast land of Jiuzhou. Just over two thousand years ago, many tribes living in Kyushu suddenly broke out in melee for unknown reasons. Countless powerful people with divine power lead their respective tribesmen to conquer each other and fight in melee. In the end, they all died together. Only a very small number of ancestors were left, hiding in the mountains, lakes and seas, and escaped the disaster.
After the world gradually stabilized, they came out of hiding and began to reproduce again. However, this time of hiding lasted for nearly a hundred years. Those ancestor tribes had long since perished, leaving no one alive.
Some old people who experienced the great heroes of Jiuzhou compiled these ancient legends into books based on what they heard from the elders of the clan when they were young, as well as their own personal experiences, and passed them down for future generations to know.
According to what is recorded in the book, the cultivation of those ancient powers has far exceeded everyone's knowledge. Not to mention the many strong men in the innate realm today, even cultivators who have reached the peak of innate immortality have no power to fight against them.
He can really be called a legendary immortal, saint, and god.
However, the deeds recorded in these ancient books have really become legends after thousands of years have been passed down to the present. Not only the general public does not believe it, but also the various sects of the righteous path and the spirits of the Demon Underworld Palace do not believe it.
Several elders from various sects with the highest cultivation level over the past thousand years agreed that this was just an exaggeration made by those old men. It is extremely difficult for ordinary creatures above Kyushu to cultivate immortality. Not to mention the ability to live for thousands of years, call the wind and rain, split mountains and seas, and other magical powers that are unimaginable.
The origin of Jiuhua Mountain naturally has ancient legends. Mu Jingyu once saw some legends about it in Shaoyang Peak. Originally, Mu Jingyu only regarded it as a rumor from ancient ancestors. However, today I entered this hidden valley by chance and was shocked when I saw these strangely shaped stone houses.
"Perhaps, the things recorded in those ancient books are all true?"
Mu Jingyu was thinking while looking around the valley, trying to find some traces of the existence of ancient tribes.
After descending the stone steps, as soon as he landed on the ground, Mu Jingyu was surprised to find a stone tablet half a head taller than him standing next to him. Because it was surrounded by weeds, I couldn't find it at the entrance of the cave.
After wielding the stone ax and clearing away all the weeds, the entire monument surface was exposed. I saw that the stone tablet was also carved with a sharp sword. Mu Jingyu checked it carefully and found that the font was the same as the one in the cave. It must have been left by the same person.
"It's hard to tell the strategy of heaven, and every day there is a secret! Now our Jiuhua Mountain is declining day by day, and the forefathers of the sect have sacrificed their lives to protect the mountain. And the remaining disciples, in order to protect themselves, most of them changed their sects and took off their robes. , abandoning my Jiuhua Mountain and fleeing from Jiuzhou."
"I, He Xiaozi, was originally a grassroots man. Fortunately, my leader, Master Wuweizi, saved my humble life from the bandits and brought me back to the mountain to raise me. Now I see that the mountain gate has been destroyed and all the disciples have been killed and fled. Although I have a heart and a weak body, Protect Jiuhua Mountain from loss. However, my cultivation level is low and it is difficult to achieve anything."
"Accidentally, I learned many secrets about Jiuhua Mountain from the ancient books secretly stored in our sect. I learned that there is a secret valley hidden in Yuntai Peak behind Tianjue Peak. In it, there is hidden the ancient tribe Chu Li Yimai, a hidden spiritual stone. Obtaining it can greatly improve your cultivation, and thus reach the innate state in a short period of time."
"Although this ancient story is considered by everyone to be a rumor. But now, Jiuhua Mountain is at a critical stage of life and death. As a disciple of Jiuhua, and I have been rescued and taught by Master Wuweizi, I should take the responsibility to save the master. When the time comes."
"Gu sneaked into Yuntai Peak alone. After more than a month, he was protected by all the ancestors. He found this legendary secret realm and obtained this ancient spiritual stone. Since then, he has been cultivating in the valley for several months, and finally broke through to the innate level. Realm. After leaving the valley, I wiped out the little monsters in one fell swoop and restored peace to my Jiuhua."
"It's just that this secret valley is the location of the ancient Chu Li altar, and it cannot be easily known to outsiders. Since I have obtained the spiritual stone, I cannot tell outsiders the location of this place, so as not to disturb the tranquility of our ancestors. Now we will make the stone cave Block it up and burn the ancient books contained in the sect to prevent outsiders from entering this place by mistake."
Mu Jingyu read it carefully, and the more he read, the more frightened he became! Unexpectedly, the legendary Chu Li tribe actually existed. I just don’t know if the legend of splitting Mount Hua into nine sections with one sword is true.
Moreover, according to the person who carved the monument, he was He Xiaozi who saved Mount Jiuhua from danger eight hundred years ago! Unexpectedly, he also found this place back then, and after obtaining an ancient spiritual stone, he greatly improved his cultivation and took the other peaks of Jiuhua Mountain under his sect.
Although Mu Jingyu has only been practicing for three years, he is very clear about the extraordinary significance contained in an ancient spiritual stone.
The people of Jiuzhou are able to cultivate supreme magical powers only by absorbing the spiritual energy from heaven and earth. After constantly forging their bodies and building foundations, they can use this spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use, and then they can reach the innate realm.
And every living being has some thin spiritual energy since it is born. It's just that some people's spiritual energy is thick and some people's spiritual energy is thin, which leads to different levels of qualifications.
After practicing, you can slowly extract the spiritual energy from your body and store it in your Dantian for your own use at any time. When all the spiritual energy in the body is expelled and enough spiritual energy is gathered in the Dantian, one can break through the acquired state and reach the innate state. During this period, the spiritual energy extracted from the body is not pure, so it is called true energy.
After breaking through the innate realm, you can directly absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth. The power that can be controlled is naturally much stronger than the day after tomorrow.
However, the spiritual energy in many living beings is already thin and mixed, making it difficult to meet the requirements for breaking through the innate realm. In addition, without the treasures of genius to assist oneself, one can only stay in the acquired realm throughout his life, and it is difficult to advance even half a point.
Throughout the ages, countless sects and aristocratic families have been built in some famous mountains and rivers, perhaps because the spiritual energy here is sufficient, which can help their disciples quickly stimulate the spiritual energy in their bodies and increase the speed of cultivation.
Like Nanjian Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Wugong Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain, Emei Mountain, etc., they are places full of spiritual energy. Only in this way can these famous sects become the most powerful sects in Jiuzhou after a thousand years.
Mu Jingyu was both happy and worried now. Fortunately, he accidentally stumbled down and found the location of the ancient Chu Li tribe through another secret passage. Worryingly, He Xiaozi had sealed the exit of the other secret passage, and the stone passage was also blocked by the stone gate on the day he entered, so it might be difficult to open it from the inside.
What is even more regrettable is that the only ancient spiritual stone in the valley was taken away by He Xiaozi eight hundred years ago. Now, I'm afraid there are no more treasures except a few ancient stone houses.
"Oh my God, am I, Mu Jingyu, destined to never achieve anything in my life and not be able to cultivate the supreme magical power? I finally found a blessed land in the cave. I thought I could soar into the sky from now on. How could I have imagined that it was just an empty joy? !”
Mu Jingyu couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart, he raised his head and let out a long roar, which shook the ceiling and the fallen leaves fell one after another, adding a bit of sadness.
Now, I am trapped here and I can't get out even if I want to. I'm afraid, I might be trapped here forever.
After Mu Jingyu lamented, he had no choice but to accept the reality sadly. Since I can't get out, I have to stay here first. See if you can find other ways to get out of here.
After gathering up his lost and helpless mood, Mu Jingyu walked towards the nearest stone house with heavy steps. Anyway, it's getting dark, so let's find a place to sleep first.
