Chapter 9: The Secret Cave

At night, Su Muyu opened his eyes slightly, and a drowsy trick hit the sleeping Yuliu, and then after putting on a black robe and a mask, he opened the door and went out, and followed the road during the day to bring the pond beside the water, the chaos bead was getting stronger and stronger, and Su Muyu slowly entered the pool.

Su Muyu looked around, flew over the pool lightly, and landed behind the waterfall, the chaos bead in his hand sparked brightly, Su Muyu clenched his fists and knocked on all parts of the stone wall, and finally found a place with a different sound, and slowly searched around in this direction, but did not find any clues.

She thought for a moment, stepped on the protruding stones around her and came to the upper side of the waterfall, looked down and looked down, it was pitch black, only the sound of the waterfall smashing on the stones, just when Su Muyu found nothing and was about to give up, the space inside the waterfall seemed to be a little distorted.

After Su Muyu flew to the waterfall, he gently brushed aside the vines on the stone wall, on the smooth stone wall, a small stone appeared abrupt, Su Muyu turned the stone slightly, and the stone wall on one side slowly rose, revealing a hole.

Su Muyu took back the mirror, removed the spiritual power on the water, the pool water returned to its original calm, Su Muyu entered the cave in a flash, and the stone gate also fell the moment she entered the cave, and the waterfall continued to fall, as if nothing had happened.

Su Muyu borrowed the faint light of fluorescent stone in her hand, carefully moved along the tunnel, and suddenly stepped on something under her feet, making a clattering cracking sound, she lowered her head, raised her feet, and a piece of white bones lay at her feet, at this time Su Muyu found that there were many white bones scattered on the road ahead, and several of them were intact skeletons.

Su Muyu carefully avoided those skeletons and continued to move forward, the deeper he went, the lower the temperature around him, a thin layer of mist faintly appeared on the ground, and gradually the stone wall also appeared frost condensed at low temperatures, Su Muyu ran the exercises to mobilize the aura to keep out the cold, but despite this, he could still feel the biting chill around his body.

Su Muyu didn't know how long he had walked before he came to a closed stone room, and dust was scattered around the stone room, and in some places it was even piled up into a pile of dust. The ground of the stone chamber is engraved with a complex formation similar to the five elements diagram, the formation extends to the edge of the stone chamber, and there is a circular pit in each of the five directions, which coincides with the formation, and I don't know what it is used for.

At the center of the formation was a sitting skeleton, the tattered clothes drooping on the bones, and just when Su Muyu wondered whether she should step forward to check, the chaos bead in her hand broke out of her control and kept shaking around the bones, like intimacy.

When Su Muyu saw such a situation, he immediately understood that this skeleton might be the former owner of the Chaos Bead, but for some reason, he sat here, and the Chaos Bead fell to the bottom of the sea.

But this place has been the territory of the Nine Swords Sect since 10,000 years ago, if it had been sat down before, it would have been difficult for so many years of no one to find out, but if it was later, it would be even more unreasonable, one of the five major factions of the hall was actually entered by outsiders and did not notice it? No one would believe it.

Su Muyu nodded her chin and began to walk around the stone room, some corners of the stone room were thick enough to drown a knuckle, Su Muyu looked at the stones found from the dust, the cut surface was smooth, it didn't look like it fell off naturally, and then looked at the walls of the stone room, some small traces could be faintly seen, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

Su Muyu pinched a dust removal trick, and the stone room was suddenly much cleaner, and all the things that were originally hidden under the dust were exposed at this moment, and the walls of the stone room were covered with scars, which really didn't look like a place for monks to practice. And the corners of the stone chamber were instantly filled with rotting wood.

Su Muyu walked to the corner and took away the rotten wood, and found that there were all kinds of porcelain tiles left under the wood, and some large or small beads were faintly seen in the porcelain.

Su Muyu picked up the blue color, and it was a jade slip. Su Muyu separated a wisp of divine sense and probed into the jade slip, and the content of the jade slip kept pouring into Su Muyu's mind, and after a long time, Su Muyu's face was pale and he couldn't hide his surprise to come back to his senses, and the jade slip in his hand collapsed.

The content of the jade slip is a piece of the original owner - that is, what happened to the skeleton before his death, the owner of the skeleton was originally the peak monk of the cave void Hongyun Yuanjun, who lived before the establishment of the Nine Swords Sect, he was the master of the Chaos Bead, and Su Muyu was the same as the Five Spirit Root, with the Chaos Bead, he successfully broke through to the Cave Void Period, but he encountered a bottleneck when he advanced to the Mahayana.

However, this Yuan Jun is a genius in the formation, and he has set up two new formations according to the principle of the five elements of mutual growth and mutual restraint and the ancient formation that was once occasionally mutilated, one is the Five Elements Array in the stone room, and the other is the phantom array outside the cave - the Four Elephant Array.

As long as the Five Elements Array places the Five Elements items with sufficient spiritual power in the five directions of the formation, and the monk sits in the array and cooperates with the Chaos Bead to compress and refine the spiritual power in his body ninety-nine times, he can advance to the Mahayana period.

Hongyun Yuanjun's experiment was successful, and the five mediums he used at that time were the Earth Spirit Bead, the Beast Pill of the Fire Cloud Lion King in the late stage of Lian Xu, the Autumn Water Sword, the high-grade spiritual weapon of the water system, the meteorite sand of the refining material, and a five-hundred-year-old Divine Cultivation Tree.

Such a configuration can be regarded as high-level, and Hongyun Yuanjun did succeed in compressing and refining the spiritual power by ninety-nine turns, but he made a mistake in the last step, because the monk who sent him a new Divine Cultivation Tree betrayed him at a critical moment.

The reason why this cave has not been discovered by the powerful monk for so long is that the Four Elephant Array outside the cave can only see through the illusion outside the cave by holding the Chaos Bead or with his approval, otherwise it will be just an ordinary stone wall in others.

The spiritual power required in the void period of the cave is huge, and the five materials have been changed again and again, and the monk who helped Hongyun Daojun change the materials entered the cave through the gap of changing materials, and was recognized by Hongyun Daojun, and then imagined that it was common in the script, and the monk took advantage of Hongyun Daojun's cultivation to assassinate him with one blow.

Su Muyu was not surprised here, what surprised her was that the monk did not immediately destroy his Yuan Shen, but used the soul search technique, but obviously the result of the soul search did not satisfy him, and then he rummaged around, and even hit the wall with the spirit technique, as if he was looking for something important.

After a long time, the monk gave up such a move, but scavenged Hongyun's storage bag and some other things, smashed and burned all the things he didn't look at and couldn't use, and finally left the cave with the Chaos Bead, but he didn't notice that when he was concentrating on the soul search, a wisp of Hongyun Daojun's divine soul floated into the empty vase, and there was a jade slip lying quietly inside.

This jade slip can only be read by those who have already dripped blood with the Chaos Bead to recognize the master, and the others can only read it as a blank space, and it is precisely because of this that the doom of being destroyed is avoided.

The remnant soul in the jade slip dictated the mantra for the opening of the Four Elephant Array and the Five Elements Array, and burned the incomplete ancient formation together, and then left this world with infinite regret and remorse.

Su Muyu got up and walked to the front of the skeleton, looking at it uncertainly, and after a while, Su Muyu knelt down in front of the skeleton, and solemnly kowtowed three times, "If that person is still in this life, the younger generation will seek justice for the senior." ”

The bones seemed to be aware of this, and instantly crumbled into dust.

Su Muyu looked at the Chaos Bead floating beside him, put it away before slowly walking out of the cave, the outside of the cave was still the same as it was, Su Muyu pinched the recipe with both hands, and silently recited the mantra in his heart, and the formation that was about to lift the illusion because of the imbalance of spiritual power was stabilized again.

Su Muyu stepped away, but at the moment when he was about to step out of the pool, he bumped into the young man he saw in the daytime, only to hear the sound of the long sword unsheathed, the simple and dark blade stabbed towards Su Muyu, Su Muyu immediately dodged to avoid it, and then turned over and came behind the young man, leaving without looking back, but was dragged by the young man's shoulder.

"Who are you?!"

Su Muyu waved his backhand, Taiyin True Fire jumped out from his fingertips and ran towards the young man, the young man seemed to notice the special nature of this flame, and immediately flew back, and swung down with a sword, the black sword was accompanied by a trace of thunder and split the flame in half, and the true fire that lost the support of spiritual power disappeared in the air, and when the young man looked again, there was no trace of Su Muyu.

There was silence in the courtyard of the outer disciples at this time, only two black petite figures fell quickly, and these two people seemed to be surprised that there were people other than themselves going out at this time, so they stopped in front of the courtyard one after another, just looking at each other through the two masks.

Su Muyu looked at the other party quietly, most of the people living in this courtyard are new disciples today, among these disciples, remove mortals without spiritual power, and there are only a dozen or so people left, although they don't know who the other party is and what their purpose is, but if there is a conflict at this time, it is not good to attract others.

Su Muyu nodded slightly to the other party when he thought about it, and then flew into the courtyard. The man seemed to have the same idea, and without further trouble, turned and went into his courtyard.
