Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Secret Buried for Twenty Years
Take a risk or give up, it's a dilemma.
If you take the risk, if you encounter the purple-eyed storm bear head-on, if you don't have the same luck as Xiao Wu last time, you will be buried under the bear's paws.
And if you give up, with Muyang's current cultivation speed, not to mention whether he can successfully break through to the Innate Mirror, even if he can really become an Innate Mirror, he doesn't know how long it will take to cultivate to achieve it, and in such a long period of time, if something happens, then Muyang will never be able to get these few pages of Heavenly Book Annotations.
Thinking that as long as it was a sunny day, it had been sleeping in the sun outside the cave during the day, and once when it was tempted to lure it, Muyang accidentally made a noise, but the purple-eyed bear was not awakened, so after weighing it in his heart for a long time, Muyang decided to take a risk.
Muyang's decision Zhao Yuanbai and Mo Xiaoqi did not agree, after all, this is too risky, once it is found that the chance of survival is almost zero, but with Muyang's stubborn and stubborn character, once a decision is made in his heart, no matter how much they persuade him, it will have no effect.
In desperation, Zhao Yuanbai and Mo Xiaoqi could only give up persuasion, they decided to hide at the entrance of the deep valley together, and at the same time set up several large obstacle traps ready to respond at any time, if Muyang was really found by the purple-eyed violent bear, they would take action to attract its attention, so that Muyang could get out of danger.
Everyone was in no mood to talk that night, the whole atmosphere was extremely dull, there was still about half an hour before dawn, under the worried eyes of Zhao Yuanbai and Mo Xiaoqi, Muyang quietly dived into the deep valley alone.
The huge deep valley was extremely quiet in the night, there was not even a trace of insect chirping, and a person strolling through it, obviously the movements were very gentle and careful, and the extremely slight friction sound caused by the rubbing with the blades of grass seemed to be amplified countless times at this moment, and it was like a burst of gongs and drums in the ears.
It was as if I had experienced countless thrilling journeys along the way, looking at the entrance of the cave in front of me that was completely covered by long weeds, and if I hadn't known in advance that there was a deep cave behind the weeds, I wouldn't have been able to see it from the outside.
And I don't know what is strange in this cave, Mu Yang had carefully explored it with his soul power on the first day he came, and his soul power couldn't even extend into the hole, as if it was isolated by an invisible force, if it wasn't for Xiao Wu's accidental intrusion at that time, I'm afraid I don't know when it will be discovered.
At this moment, Mu Yang closed his lips tightly and was expressionless, his eyes kept flashing with anticipation, fear, excitement and even a trace of nostalgia for the inexplicable emotions, because his fists were too tight, his shoulders trembled slightly, showing the extreme unrest in his heart.
Standing in front of the cave for more than a dozen breaths, Mu Yang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, opened his eyes and grabbed the protrusion of the rock wall of the deep valley, carefully crawled to the hidden place above the cave, skillfully came to the hidden place, took out a breathing pill and took it, he began to wait quietly.
The sky gradually began to turn white until it was bright, and after the red sun gradually rose and the warm sunlight shone into the deep valley, the purple-eyed violent bear, who was never late, appeared outside the cave on time.
As always, in the deep valley to find a place where you can comfortably bask in the sun and sleep in, the purple-eyed storm bear closed its eyes and began its day's sleep, although Mu Yang didn't understand why it never foraged for food, and never did anything else, but as long as the purple-eyed storm bear could not wake up, then he had a great chance to enter the cave and get those pages of heavenly book annotations.
Patiently waited until the wind blew in the deep valley, with the help of the rustling sound of the wind blowing the grass blades, Mu Yang climbed down quickly and cautiously and dexterously, half-squatting in the grass to look at the purple-eyed storm bear that was still asleep, Mu Yang gently picked up the weeds that covered the entrance of the cave, and walked in in a flash.
Because the sunlight could not shine in, the cave looked very dark, and took out a fluorescent stone wrapped in layers of black cloth, and with the light that was not very bright, Mu Yang looked around a little.
The space in the cave is not too big, judging from the size of the purple-eyed violent bear, it should be just enough for it to pass, what makes Mu Yang feel strange is that there are several phantom iron crystals that can isolate soul power exploration on the wall at the entrance of the cave, which should be the reason why this cave can isolate soul power exploration.
"There are actually phantom iron crystals here, but I don't know if these phantom iron crystals are naturally formed and placed like this, or if someone deliberately inlays them here, if someone deliberately inlays them here, then what is his purpose, is it to cover up this cave, or is it because there is something unsightly in the cave, and how did this purple-eyed violent bear come here. ”
All kinds of questions kept popping up in Mu Yang's mind, but this was not the time to think about these questions, there was a purple-eyed violent bear outside that might wake up and enter the cave at any time to kill him, so Mu Yang had to put these questions behind him, and now the most important thing was to find out the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book Annotation.
"I remember that Xiao Wu said that after going deep into the cave for a long distance, he found a few pages of Heavenly Book annotations scattered next to a corpse, and there is no fork in the cave, just in case those pages were accidentally taken to other places, I searched along the way, and I believe I will find it soon. ”
Having made up his mind in his heart, Mu Yang quickened his pace slightly, and kept looking left and right on the ground while walking along the passage to the depths of the cave.
At the entrance of the deep valley, Zhao Yuanbai and Mo Xiaoqi hid on the branches of a big tree, using the dense branches and leaves on the branches to hide their figures, from the moment Muyang walked into the deep valley, the frowning brows of the two of them never let go, and the eyes staring at the deep valley were full of worry and anxiety.
"Xiaobai, it's been so long, I don't know if Brother Yang has entered the cave, have you found those pages, if the time drags on too long, you will be found by the purple-eyed violent bear...... Bah, no, definitely not!" Mo Xiaoqi knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly slapped himself in the mouth.
"Now the purple-eyed bear is still sleeping, whether Muyang enters the cave or not, at least it proves that he is still safe at the moment, let's not be careless, if there is any wind and grass, go up and help immediately. Zhao Yuanbai poked his head and stared at the purple-eyed violent bear lying on the ground, not daring to take his eyes off for a moment.
"Ahh
Seeing the purple-eyed storm bear who was sleeping suddenly swaying and standing up, Mo Xiaoqi couldn't help but exclaim, the two of them each clenched the weapons in their hands, and when they stood up and were about to rush forward, they found that the purple-eyed storm bear was just because the sun couldn't shine in the place where he was lying down, so he went to find a sunny place and lay down again.
The two of them took a long breath together, wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, looked at each other and smiled, put back the hearts that were lifted at that moment, and continued to stare at the purple-eyed violent bear, and the time they waited outside was also tormented.
After walking in the cave for nearly half a pillar of incense, nothing happened along the way, at this time, Mu Yang's mood relaxed slightly, and he continued to walk a few steps, and a humanoid silhouette sitting against the wall faintly appeared at the edge of the light range, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
That's what Xiao Wu said, he met the place in the cave where the bones of the Heavenly Book annotation were scattered around him. ”
Mu Yang was a little excited, his heartbeat involuntarily became much faster, he had been walking slowly, no longer caring about anything else, and immediately ran towards the corpse at a speed almost trotting.
When he came to the bones, Mu Yang really found that there were pages scattered next to the bones, and hurriedly picked up one and took a closer look, and the familiar words on it immediately made him smile: "It's really a commentary on the Book of Heaven! Hahaha! Great! Great!"
"One, two, um? According to Xiao Wu, there should be four pages here, why are there only two here, and the other pages? The page with the words written on it is not here, could it be that Xiao Wu broke into this place, and he was thrown somewhere else in a panic?"
Finding that the number of pages on the ground was not right, Mu Yang frowned, put the two pages in his arms and carefully put them away, looked around and did not find the existence of the pages on the ground around him.
"Could it be that it fell under the bones and was blocked?"
Seeing that the corpse was still covered with a set of clothes that had been torn, Mu Yang felt that when the pages of the book were thrown down by Xiao Wu, it was very likely that they would fall under the clothes and be covered, so they couldn't see it.
"Offended!"
Bowing to the bones sitting on the ground, Mu Yang put the fluorescent stone in his hand on the ground and rummaged carefully on the bones.
I didn't find the pages of the book, but found a palm-sized token between the two pieces of clothing on the skeleton, a jade slip, and an unknown animal fur covered with small characters that seemed to be written in blood.
Some puzzled picked up two things to check it, the token is like the shape of a palm, the whole body is emerald green, it is very cold to start, I don't know what material is made of, look closely, the middle of the front of the token is engraved with the word "pick the star", there is a star in the middle of these two words, and the back is engraved with the three big characters of "landlord's order".
"Star Picking Tower's Command, Star Picking Tower! Could it be that this corpse on the ground is Cui Cheng, the original owner of the Star Picking Tower, who has been missing for twenty years! How could he die in this place?"
Having come up with this guess, Mu Yang couldn't help but exclaim, and then thought that he was still in danger, so he hurriedly covered his mouth, listened quietly for a while, and found that there was no abnormal movement, so he put down his mind and continued to check the fur with the blood book written on it.
"I am Cui Cheng, the owner of the Star Picking Building in Gutai City, because I received a summons from a friend, he was invited to go out to visit, who knew that this summons was forged by others, and I was ambushed by traitors halfway, I tried my best to resist, but because of the sudden and outnumbered, although I desperately escaped from the encirclement of the traitors, but because of serious injuries, I was unable to return to Gutai City. ”
"In a panic and escape, I entered this deep valley and inadvertently discovered this hidden cave, after escaping into the cave, due to the exhaustion of the two forces of the Yuan Soul, the injuries in the body can no longer be suppressed, I know that I have no power to return to the sky, and when I am dying, I can only leave the last style of my secret ancient martial arts of picking the star tower on the back of this fur 'I can pick the stars by hand'. ”
"Someone who is destined, if you find this place and find this fur, please help me send this fur to the Star Picking Tower in Gutai City, I believe that there will be a good reward up and down the Star Picking Tower. ”
"There are also two traitors who designed to harm me in Gutai City, Jiang Yunnian, the sect leader of the Sword Rain Sect, and Sikong Yu, the head of Taixu Yuan, these two villains, they are afraid that I am too strong, and they are afraid that I will be the only one in the Star Picking Tower, and as a result, I will be so vicious, please let the Star Picking Tower be careful with these two people, and don't act rashly until you don't have enough strength. Cui Cheng is here to bow his head and thank you!"
After reading the blood words written on the front of the fur full of endless unwillingness and hatred, Mu Yang sighed faintly, he didn't expect that the seemingly harmonious Gutai City secretly hid so much bloody rain.
