After leaving Fenglin, Lu Jing told Xia Huai and Yang Tao what he had learned from Ye Gongmei. Of course, it was only the part related to biting iron.
As for Amu's secret, Lu Jing made up his mind and would not tell anyone easily before he had enough information.
Speaking of which, he would also like to thank the black cat. If the other party hadn't appeared and passed the judgment of the Pixiu instead of Amu, Lu Jing and the little wooden mannequin might have been in big trouble in the Star Observation Tower.
However, because there were a lot of things going on recently, one after another, Lu Jing couldn't care about the black cat for the time being. After confirming that it could suck luck, he left it alone for the time being.
Even the homework assigned to him by Ye Gongmei, asking him to think carefully about how to use the black cat's ability, he didn't have time to complete.
Until he saw Ye Gongmei again this time, Lu Jing was thinking about whether he should reward the black cat a little and take it for a bite to see who had bad luck recently.
It can be regarded as a favor for helping Amu get through.
However, the top priority right now is to resolve the matter of [Xin Zi Three Hundred and Thirty Seven] first.
After all, this matter is related to all three of them, and they have been busy for almost three days.
Seeing that he was about to see the dawn, Yang Tao was also shocked. He immediately pulled Lu Jing and Xia Huai and rushed towards the residence of senior Chi.
The three of them searched among the cliffs on the west side of the forest for a long time before they found a cave that looked like it was inhabited.
There are two stone doors outside the cave entrance. They are said to be stone doors, but it feels like they randomly found a big stone and split it in the middle. Therefore, when the stone doors are closed, it is difficult to find the cave as long as they are a little further away. .
Finding the cave was only the first step. After seeing the location of the cave, Lu Jing understood why Ye Gongmei said that people with poor Qinggong skills could not get through.
Because the rock wall where the cave is located is very steep, with almost no footholds, and the rock wall is covered with moss and extremely slippery. Lu Jing even suspected that the guy named Chi who lives here is not obsessed with Refining weapons, but unable to leave the house at all.
Of course, this is just a joke. With his body shape and skill, he can climb to the top of the mountain, which means that there should be a secret passage in and out of the cave.
Unfortunately, Lu Jing and the others didn't know where the secret passage was, so if they wanted to visit Chi, they could only walk on this cliff.
Yang Tao glanced down, his expression not very good.
Although it is still some distance from the top of the mountain, it is still a few hundred meters high. If you really lose your footing and fall, it will be difficult to survive.
And among the three, his Qinggong is the worst. Although it can have a magical effect when combined with marksmanship, it is not suitable for the current situation.
Climbing and jumping on cliffs, the most important thing is to control the details. The angle and strength must be perfect.
"How about I go find a rope? It will be safer." Yang Tao suggested.
However, Lu Jing shook his head when he heard this, "You shouldn't be able to find such a long rope in the academy for a while."
"How many knots are tied together?"
Xia Huai pointed at the large piece of slightly raised stone wall above the cave, "It looks like it has been specially polished by someone. It looks sharper than a knife. If your rope touches it, I'm afraid it will soon be cut." Grind it off.”
"Then what should we do?" Yang Tao looked quite distressed, "Last time you went to Biyoudongtian, you left me outside. You won't ask me to be your lookout again this time, right?"
"If you really want to go, there is nothing you can do." Lu Jing said leisurely.
"any solution?"
"Climb over."
"But there is no place on the rock wall that can be used to borrow strength?" Yang Tao looked at the moss-covered rock wall and asked worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, just follow me."
After speaking, Lu Jing did not explain any more, and directly tied the meteorite iron Zen staff to his back, and then climbed towards the cave using his hands and feet.
He maximized the internal force in his meridians, then stretched out a hand and pressed it on the stone wall. However, after a few breaths, he saw a five-finger-wide deep groove appear on the originally smooth stone wall!
At the same time, Lu Jing's foot also used force to create a small hole where the sole of his foot could be placed.
Immediately afterwards, he repeated his old trick and stretched out his other hand and leg, also leaving a deep groove and a small hole on the rock wall.
Xia Huai and Yang Tao on the cliff were both stunned by this scene.
They didn't expect that there were people in this world who could just use their flesh and blood to carve out a path for climbing on the extremely hard stone wall!
You must know that for ordinary internal masters, being able to make a shallow footprint on a stone slab is already very impressive, and can be called a show of skill.
Even if they have advanced to the second-rate realm, it is difficult for them to make more than one inch of footprints with all their strength.
Not to mention the state when the body is still hanging in the air, the difficulty is much higher than standing on the ground.
Each of the deep grooves and small holes dug by Lu Jing was more than two inches deep.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be hard for Xia Huai and Yang Tao to believe that someone could really do such a thing.
And there is a full fifty feet between here and that cave! From the look of Lu Jing, he seemed to be planning to dig all the way to the finish line.
While Yang Tao and Xia Huai were stunned, Lu Jing had completed almost a third of the project.
The reason why he chiseled so fast was not only because of his deep internal strength, but also the body-protecting divine skill of Fire Lin Armor, which could make his fingers harder than the stone wall in front of him and penetrate it easily.
In the end, it only took Lu Jing half a stick of incense to climb to the cave. His face was not red, his heart was not beating, and his breathing was still even and strong.
He waited for a while, until Yang Tao and Xia Huai climbed down smoothly following the footprints and handprints he had dug, and then he knocked on the stone door in front of him.
However, there was no answer behind the door.
So Lu Jing had to knock again and said loudly, "Academy disciples, Lu Jing, Xia Huai, and Yang Tao have come to pay homage to Senior Chi and want to borrow his gripping iron."
This time there was finally movement behind the door, and a hoarse voice came from inside, "I won't borrow it!"
The voice refused very simply, leaving no room for maneuver.
Xia Huai and Yang Tao couldn't help but feel chilled in their hearts. Lu Jing was also a little helpless, but fortunately he was prepared for this and said again, "Senior Chi, it was Senior Ye Gongmei who asked us to come."
Although Ye Gongmei herself said that she and Chi were not very familiar with each other and had only met once a few years ago, since Chi had gone to Ye Gongmei and asked her about issues related to iron biting, Lu Jing felt that Ye Gongmei had The big flag of Gongmei should still have some effect.
And things were half as he had guessed. After waiting for a while, the two stone doors were finally pushed open slowly from behind.
