Li Huanzhen and the others moved forward slowly with the help of a little light in the darkness.
I don’t know how far I have walked like this, but this ancient and deep cave seems to have no end. Although it is still very spacious, it is winding and twisting. In addition to probably tilting towards the ground, it is almost distracting. Not sure of direction.
There was a faint rustling sound at the mouth of the cave. In this darkness, there were no other sounds except the footsteps of people. Li Huan really felt that the humidity around him was getting heavier and heavier, and he didn't know how deep he had gone into the ground. .
After a long time, they came to a stone room and everyone searched around.
"Have you discovered anything?" asked a young man named Er Zhuang who was the leader of the companions.
Everyone shook their heads. Just now, after they entered the cave with the flow of people, they found that there was a different cave here. It turned out that there were stone chambers inside one another. As they went deeper, there were more and more side roads, and the stone chambers became more and more numerous. The more people there are, the less people there are around them.
In the end, Li Huanzhen's team was the only one left to search this stone chamber. They had already searched three or four similar stone chambers, but they were all empty.
"Damn it, it's a lie again. Let's sit down and take a rest." Erzhuang said. The five people in the group sat down and rested. And they started chatting with each other.
"I'm going to relieve myself." At this time, a young man named Ximao said to his companion, and walked to the corner of the stone room. After a while, there was a pattering sound, and suddenly, there was a bang in the cave. , the whole stone room shook, and the sounds in the corner suddenly stopped.
Everyone stood up and looked at Xi Mao in the corner, and the voice came from him.
"Ximao, what's wrong with you?" Erzhuang asked tremblingly towards the corner.
At this time, a black shadow stretched out from the corner with two long beards in front of everyone. In the dimness, Li could really see the black shadow clearly. It was a huge centipede, as thick as an adult's waist. It was green and had some... There are faint black lines, and there is a pair of large claws on its front, which are holding fine hairs. The fine hairs look like they are not sure whether they are alive or dead.
This giant insect, which was about 10 feet long, immediately raised its head at Li Huanzhen with vigilance, waving its two long and thick tentacles non-stop, and made a strange hissing sound, which made people very frightened to see it. Trembling, suddenly the giant centipede's claws split the hairy body into two with a sudden force, causing blood and water to splash everywhere.
Then, the giant insect rushed towards everyone, and they fled in all directions. In the panic, Li Huanzhen saw the opportunity and used the blind spot of the giant insect's vision to hide in the corner behind the giant insect to avoid becoming the giant centipede's first attack target.
At this time, Li Huanzhen discovered that there was a big hole in the corner, and the centipede climbed up from here. When Li Huanzhen really hesitated whether to escape from here, several screams were heard not far away, which was like the sound of death. The death knell, Li really knew that the giant insect would definitely come looking for him after killing others, so he might as well give it a try and jump down from the hole.
When Li Huanzhen arrived below, he discovered that it was more open, with more stone chambers and naturally formed stalactite caves. He believed that the caves mentioned by the real person must be among them. He looked at the entrance of the cave above and thought that the centipede might come back at any time. , and quickly left this dangerous place and explored the depths.
"Is this the cave that Zhenren said?" After about two hours of walking, Li Huanzhen stood on a black rock half a person's height, looked at the cave entrance not far away, and said to himself. This cave is there alone, there are no other cave entrances or passages next to it, it looks very different.
"It doesn't look like anything special!" Li Zhenzhen didn't rush in rashly, but carefully observed the area for a moment. Although time is very tight, don’t put yourself in danger because of carelessness!
The cave that Master Shen was talking about looked very inconspicuous from the outside. It was exactly the same as the several stalactite caves that Li Huanzhen saw on the road, and there was nothing eye-catching about it. I don’t know how the cave owner discovered this place in the first place. This really made Li Huanzhen admire him a bit!
After a cup of tea, Li Huanzhen was convinced that there was no danger lurking nearby, and then he carefully walked towards the entrance of the cave holding the torch.
The entrance to the cave is completely natural, and the entire body is made of light blue rocks, with no trace of artificial drilling. As soon as Li Huanzhen entered the cave entrance and glanced at the cave walls on both sides, he came to this conclusion.
Then, Li Huanzhen's figure flashed and he quietly disappeared into the cave. But after walking only a dozen steps, the last flame on the torch finally went out. Li Huanzhen stopped because after passing one or two corners, the area was already dark. Li Huanzhen saw this. Shaking his head helplessly, he could only walk in the dark.
Not long after, in front of him, two forked roads suddenly opened in the cave ahead. It was deep and dark, and he didn't know where it led. It seemed like a monster's open mouth. He silently chose a path in his heart and walked quietly. Got in.
The cave was very long and narrow. After walking for half a quarter of an hour, Li Huanzhen still didn't see any sign of the end. This made him start to murmur in his heart, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was looking in the wrong place, and what kind of fake stalactite cave he found.
Fortunately, Li was really worried. After walking another tens of feet, a big corner flashed in front of my eyes, and finally the problem was solved, because from that corner, several rays of white light were faintly revealed.
When Li Huanzhen saw this, he felt happy and touched it quietly.
The front is indeed the end of this cave. And it is a large stone hall. Not only are there many sparkling stalactites, but there is also a wooden box placed on a stone table in the innermost part.
The wooden box was very simple. It looked unremarkable and was not locked. After Li Huanzhen looked around, he confirmed that there was no danger and then gently opened the wooden box. There was a roll of jade in the wooden box. Jian, it was the jade slip painted in the painting displayed by Shen Zhenren. Li Huanzhen was overjoyed and grabbed the jade slip. The moment Li Huanzhen touched the jade slip, the jade slip seemed to come alive and emitted a huge light. , illuminates the entire cave, and floats into the air to automatically open,
Li Huanzhen looked over involuntarily. On the first side of the jade slip was a young man, dressed in a white cassock, with an immortal air, and holding a silver-white spear in his hand. He was the man in Li Huanzhen's dream. The silver spear they saw was also the spear that Master Shen wanted them to look for.
In Li Huanzhen's impression, he seemed to have seen this person before, but it was not the person he saw in his dream. The person in the dream was wearing a golden armor and had twelve swords beside him.
Li Huanzhen's thoughts were confused, trying to figure out the connection between the white-robed man in the painting and the figure he saw in his dream. He still remembered that the woman in the dream seemed to call him "Qing Feng", and Qing Feng should be The name of the figure in the dream, Li Huanzhen thought, but Li Huanzhen couldn't help but think too much. The jade slips in mid-air began to turn over quickly. Except for the first page, which was a painting, the rest were all simple words.
Although Li Huazhen had studied with the old village chief for several years, Li Huazhen couldn't recognize all the words written on it. He could only roughly read the four simple big characters "Yanchu" written on the second page. True Dharma".
Li really couldn't recognize all these words, but the entire content of the jade slip was clearly imprinted in his mind, and he could never forget it.
Just when Li Huanzhen was marveling at when he had the ability to remember photographs, the jade slip in mid-air suddenly spontaneously ignited in mid-air after turning the last page, and finally turned into a wisp of smoke. There was no time to grab it, and the black talisman given by Immortal Shen in his arms was also inexplicably hot. Li Huanzhen took out the black talisman and threw it on the ground. A stream of black smoke floated out from the talisman, and then disappeared without a trace. When the jade slips were burned, a voice suddenly echoed in the cave
"Haha, you're finally here. I've shocked you. Don't be afraid. You will see me in the future and you will be even more shocked. Am I Chu Tianyi or Qing Feng? Am I afraid of myself? Haha. Haha." The sound dissipated in the laughter, and the cave returned to calm. The sound just startled Li Huanzhen. Isn't it his own voice? The more Li Huanzhen thought about it, the more frightened he became. He picked up the black talisman and left in a hurry. This cave.
