Chapter 52: The Mysterious Cave

The body began to slide again, and the cliff wall below became narrower and narrower, but it was always able to accommodate two palms wide.

Just descended for a while, Mo Wen felt empty under his feet, and the next moment his body suddenly accelerated and fell, and the space below suddenly became larger.

Mo Wen's face changed, and he twitched the dagger from his leg and stabbed it fiercely against a rock wall, and the sharp blade rubbed against the rock wall with a long spark.

He seemed to have fallen into a large space, but fortunately it was not deep underneath, only about ten meters.

As soon as Mo Wen rolled to the ground, he dissolved all the force of the fall, got up and looked around, and it happened that this was a karst cave inside the mountain, and it seemed that there was a lot of space. A ray of moonlight on his head pierced through the crack, giving the cave a glimmer of light.

Is that?

Mo Wen's pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw a large net hanging in the air not far away, and the two ends of the net were tied to the rock wall, which seemed to be artificially built nets.

But that's not the point, the point is that there is a person lying on the net at this time, although he is curled up, but Mo Wen recognized it as Qin Xiaoyou at a glance.

Mo Wen let out a long breath, and a stone in his heart fell.

I don't know what shit luck Qin Xiaoyou has taken, and he will fall on a net if he falls off the cliff. Otherwise, the friction of the rock wall reduces the strength of the fall, but if it falls on a hard stone, it will not die or be broken.

He walked over, turned over and climbed onto the net, the net was very soft, I don't know what material it was made of, and it was very pleasant to the touch of his fingers.

One turned over and crawled to Qin Xiaoyou's side, picked her up and checked her, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after finding that there was no serious injury.

However, she seemed to be overly frightened and had fainted.

Although there were no internal injuries from Yan zhòng, the external injuries were not small, there were scratches on the arms and thighs, and a large piece of wear and tear on the military uniform in five or six places, and a lot of blood stains coagulated on it.

It must have been caused by the constant friction of the narrow cliffs on both sides when he fell from the cliff, but fortunately, Qin Xiaoyou was wearing a special military uniform, if it was ordinary clothes, such a high-speed friction, I am afraid that the bones would be exposed.

Touching Qin Xiaoyou's slightly pale face, Mo Wen was slightly distressed, but fortunately, there was no danger.

He glanced at his surroundings, and with his eyesight, he could only see a distance of about ten meters in the mountain cave, but he could see that this cave should be full of human activity, and there were many traces of man-made behavior.

The big net under him that caught Qin Xiaoyou was probably similar to the furniture of a bed.

He rolled out of bed, walked around the cave, and found that there was a one-zhang square pool not far away, and the clear water in it was rippling, reflecting the cold moonlight, like a layer of glass.

"What a pool of stalagmite water."

A flash of surprise flashed in Mo Wen's eyes, and he looked up at the top of his head. Sure enough, it was full of rows of stalactites, and clear water droplets would fall from the tips of the stalagmites from time to time.

It may take tens of thousands of years for a large natural karst cave to form, and each one is a wonder of nature.

The pool of water seeping out of the stalactites is not ordinary water, and for some brewmasters, it is definitely something that is hard to find.

For Mo Wen, the effect is not small, when boiling some medicines, the use of stalagmite water often has a very magical effect.

In addition, if you drink stalagmite water for a long time, you can even strengthen your body and prolong your life.

The person who can find such a cave house is probably a feng shui master.

Mo Wen just glanced twice, and continued to walk into the depths of the cave, although the stalagmite water is a good thing, it can't be carried away now.

The further you go, the smaller the space of the cave becomes, and at the end, an artificially dug passage attracts Mo Wen's attention.

He cautiously wandered back outside the passage for a while, and only after noticing that there was no mechanism did he enter the passage.

After walking less than 50 meters, I noticed that there were three forks in the road ahead.

Mo Wen hesitated for a moment, walked directly into the middle fork, and advanced about twenty meters, when a stone gate suddenly appeared in front of him.

The stone door was covered in dust and cobwebs, and had apparently not been opened for a long time.

"It should be an ancient cave mansion."

Mo Wen thought secretly in his heart, although it was not ruled out that there were masters who would live in seclusion in the mountains, but there were obviously no traces of human activity in this cave mansion for a short period of time, and it should be an ancient cave mansion that had been sealed for a long time.

He walked to the stone gate, glanced up and down, and found that there was a protruding stone ball on one side of the stone door, so he naturally pressed his palm on it.

The next moment, the heavy stone door began to rumble upward, revealing the stone chamber inside.

Mo Wen stood outside the door and glanced inside, and after finding that there was no danger, he stepped in.

The furnishings in the stone room are very simple, with stone tables, stone benches, and stone beds...... The furniture is all stonework.

In the center of the stone room is a stone table with objects on it. It seems to be some pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a few sandalwood boxes.

Directly east there was an offering table with the remains of some offerings, and on the stone wall in front was a portrait of yellowed, apparently some age.

To the west of the stone room are two bookshelves filled with paper books, and under the shelves there are several large boxes that also seem to be filled with books.

On the north side was a stone bed, and at the top of it sat a snow-white skeleton, which sat cross-legged, what appeared to be a monk.

"It's been sitting for years."

Mo Wen glanced at the skeleton and guessed secretly.

The owner of the stone chamber was obviously the owner of the skeleton, but looking at the skeleton, it should have been dead for hundreds of years. Even so, the skeleton remains intact and shiny, unlike ordinary bones that decay over time.

Ice Muscle Jade Bone!

A flash of surprise flashed in Mo Wen's eyes, the owner of that skeleton should be a senior with a very advanced cultivation, at least the cultivation is still above Mo Wen in that life.

For ancient warriors, as their cultivation becomes more and more profound, constantly refining their bodies and tapping their own potential, their body bones will be far different from ordinary people.

Legend has it that some powerful monks can cultivate a pair of ice muscles and jade bones, and even after death, their physical bodies will not decay and wear out.

Although it is an exaggeration to say that the ice muscle jade bone is still bright, it can be seen from the bones that are still bright in color hundreds of years later that the cultivation of the owner of the skeleton must be extremely profound. Maybe he stepped into the legendary Jindan realm.

Mo Wen solemnly saluted the skeleton, he still respected the seniors very much.

Today's accidental invasion of the widow of a senior master is also a fate.

Mo Wen walked to the stone table in the middle of the stone room, no one had cleaned it for hundreds of years, and the stone table had already been covered with a thick layer of dust, and many things were even buried in the dust.

He reached out and lifted the dust open, revealing a pamphlet, presumably a codex of notes.

Hundreds of years have passed, but the codex is still intact, except that the paper is a little yellowed and fluffy.

Mo Wen opened this codex that had been sealed for hundreds of years and read it carefully.
