Chapter 9 – When the Hole is Drilled

In the midsummer night sky, there are countless stars, there is not a single floating cloud, and the crystal bright stars twinkle again and again with people's smiles.

Ling Yun left the mountain village and dived into the stone crevice.

He was now half-kneeling on the ground, his hands constantly wiping the stone slabs under the bones.

In order not to arouse suspicion as much as possible, Ling Yun did not use any tools and kept digging down. If there is a hoe and a hammer at this time, it will undoubtedly make the work much easier, but in this way, it is easy to expose the purpose, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Whether it's inside out or outside in, it's the details that often make the difference between success and failure.

Prudence is the basic guarantee for life in this world, and patience is a criterion, a criterion for making the right choice.

"Hoo ....." Ling Yun sat on the ground and wiped the sweat from his head, he was indeed a little tired.

He wiped the sweat from his head and stretched his legs as he moved his shoulders. Because of squatting for a long time, a tingling sensation kept coming from his legs at this time.

Knock knock.

Ling Yun got up and knocked on the bottom again to see how his progress was now.

Listening to this voice, his heart was slightly happy, knowing that he was getting closer and closer to what he wanted.

"Keep trying, it's almost over. Ling Yun gritted his teeth and stretched out his right hand again to pick up the dust.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ling Yun's hand suddenly paused, and he was pleased to find that a small hole had been broken in the stone wall.

Stand up, move a large rock, and smash it over. Then step on it with one foot.

Boom, boom, the hole suddenly opened, as if it was the size of a bamboo basket.

Ling Yun cautiously took a few steps back, feeling a dull gas emerge from it and then fill the cavern.

Quickly ran out and jumped into the stream, and after a while, the smell slowly weakened.

Back in the cave, it was already much better than before, and Ling Yun continued to widen the entrance of the cave, finally widening the entire cave to a size that could accommodate his own free entry and exit.

Inside is a zigzag passage, not wide at first, but the further you go inside, the more spacious it becomes.

It was surrounded by a strange dark red soil, emitting a dim red light, and the passage was about three hundred meters long.

But Ling Yun didn't plan to go directly inside, but stood outside motionless.

The inheritance of power is not the same as inheritance, that is, it is not something that can be obtained directly, and those who discover the inheritance of their predecessors are often able to obtain all the things of that inheritance. The inheritance of power is different, it is hidden on the edge of danger, and it is more about choosing the successor who suits you.

If the descendant can pass the inheritance of strength and pass these tests, he can obtain all kinds of improvements, which can prove that he has obtained a complete inheritance of strength and has been recognized by his ancestors.

Since in reality there is a distinction between the right path and the evil path, the inheritance is also divided into the right path and the evil way.

The inheritance of the righteous path is usually carefully designed by the predecessors, and even if it fails in the middle of the way, there is no fear of life.

And the inheritance of the evil path is usually set by the people in the demon path, and those inheritances will be designed according to the ideas of the demon path, and it is impossible to estimate how many people will die in the demon path inheritance.

What's more, the inheritance of some demonic paths is simply a lie, and the purpose is not to pass it on, but to harm those who want to obtain it.

Ling Yun didn't know what the inheritance in front of him was, it was very likely that it was the inheritance of the Demon Dao, so he had to be more careful.

Picked up a palm-sized stone, threw it into the hole, and stumbled and hoped that it was safe.

Ling Yun still didn't believe that there were no traps in this obviously dangerous place.

Back in the village, he bought a live chicken, tied a bell and threw it in.

It doesn't matter if there are no monsters, let's throw the live chicken in it and explore the way.

The bell kept echoing in the passage all the way, and it was clear that the chicken was constantly swimming in the passage.

After half an hour, the chicken still didn't come out, and when he was about to give up, the chicken jumped out and Ling Yun pinched it to death, spilling blood at the mouth of the passage.

He took a deep breath, and after some temptation, he cautiously stepped into the passage.

Although there was a live chicken pathfinder just now, there may still be a lot of organs, which are specially set for the human physique, and Ling Yun has to guard against it.

However, even though Ling Yun was cautiously advancing along the way, there was no trigger from any mechanism. I can only guess that this ancestor died here before he had time to lay down the mechanism.

When Ling Yun walked to the end of the passage, he found that a huge stone was blocking the entire passage, like a landslide, and this boulder blocked the direction of the passage.

There was nothing but this boulder. Ling Yun didn't carry any tools, and it was impossible for him to dig a passage and get around here from somewhere else.

There are always unexpected things happening in life.

Ling Yun could have borrowed tools to open this place, but this would attract attention, and even expose the existence of this place, and some banging sounds would come out.

After all, if someone else found out about it, all the hard work and sacrifices he had done before would be meaningless. More likely to die yourself at the hands of some greedy person.

Ling Yun sat on the ground, thinking about how to solve the current dilemma.

Look at this boulder, it is round and smooth, with a protrusion in the middle, like a Maitreya.

"This boulder blocking the way is a little too deliberately smooth and deliberately rounded. There was no damage at all, which means that it was deliberately processed. ”

"In other words, this inheritor threw the clue on this stone?" Ling Yun pondered, looking around.

The floor of the passage is level, and all sides are covered in dim dark red dirt. Ling Yun squatted down and touched the ground, it was wet, as if there was water.

"Where does the water come from in such a closed passage? There must be something underneath. ”

There must be something hidden directly underneath the boulder.

As Ling Yun continued to dig the pit, the contents of it were gradually revealed.

"Sure enough, that's what I wanted. ”

A small golden bag was revealed inside, which was opened to reveal only a cheatbook.

Ling Yun looked at this secret book and couldn't help but think of his first encounter with his master.

......

"Boy, you and I don't know each other, there is no injustice or hatred, why do you want to harm me?" the old man looked at him coldly.

"I don't, this, this, and this are all medicines that can cure your injuries. ”

"Carrying the old man home from the side of the road in the middle of the night, are you not afraid of these barren mountains and mountains, are you not afraid of these thousands of mountain insects, and are you not afraid that I am the ghost and ghost?" the old man's hand grasped tighter.

"How is that possible, you don't have any ghostly spirits, how can you be ghosts. I was lost in the mountains and forests today, and now I have found my way home, and I saw you fainting on the side of the road, so I saved you. ”

The old man laughed instead of being angry, and the strength of his hands was greater. It's like two iron tongs.

"Sure enough, it's a demon path material, haha, you really were born to cultivate demons. The old man stared at Ling Yun and said word by word, "Are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"

"No, I don't want to, it's because you're a devil, you go quickly, they'll come to arrest you later. ”

"Haha, I can't help you!"

......

came back to his senses and opened the secret book, on which there were a few big characters written on it, "The Law of Longitudinal Life", and the joy in Ling Yun's eyes flashed.

It seems that he needs to find a quiet place to practice.

In the lush mountains and forests, Lingyun walked cautiously, and the sunlight shone in through the gaps in the trees.

The grass is green under the feet, and the mountain flowers are brilliant.

Ears are either insects chirping, or the sound of running water.

The further you go into the mountains, the more dangerous it is, whether it is wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, or birds and animals, if you are not careful, even if you are a strong Lingbo, you may die somewhere.

Beasts, poisonous insects, these things are mobile, and it is difficult to find their whereabouts.

To practice this kind of exercise, you must also be in this kind of place, and you must improve your own exercise progress in the face of constant danger.

Suddenly, a beast path came into view in front of him, and his intuition told him that this was the trace of a wild boar.

Ling Yun's spirit was shocked, and he followed this trail into the mountains and forests.

The moss-covered ground was covered with gloomy stones, and the trees in the sky obscured the sky, but it looked deep and terrifying.

Tearing open the grass in front of him, several mountain deer who were grazing were suddenly startled, facing Ling Yun, and quietly retreated.

The four slender and sturdy long legs left Ling Yun's field of vision in a few jumps.
