Chapter 9: Accidental Discovery
The Black Magic Mountain in the morning light was like a huge ancient beast, crawling there quietly. A faint layer of mist made the Black Magic Mountain even more mysterious at this time.
In a valley, a silver-white waterfall fell from a cliff more than 20 feet high, making a roar. Below the waterfall is a waterhole with a radius of ten zhang, and as the waterfall falls, a large number of bubbles rise from the bottom of the pool, which is eye-catching in the morning light.
At this moment, a figure stood quietly on the edge of the waterhole. His cheeks are thin and immature, but he is handsome, his eyes are full of aura, faintly shining in the morning light, and his long hair is scattered on both sides of his shoulders, which looks natural and free. This is Zhuang Xuan, who has just come out of the house.
Looking at the foam tumbling in the pool, Zhuang Xuan felt more and more uncomfortable, and he didn't hesitate, he quickly took off his animal skin skirt, only to hear the sound of "plop", the person had already plunged into the pool, and only after a long time did a head poke out from the other side of the pool.
Although it is now a cold winter, the water in the pool is steaming, and Zhuang Xuan has broken through the middle stage of the blood refining realm, and he is no longer afraid of the cold and heat. At this time, Zhuang Xuan in the water only felt refreshed, and hummed involuntarily in his mouth. After a while, when the interest came, he plunged into the waterhole again. It's just that after a long time, Zhuang Xuan didn't surface. About half an hour later, there was a sound of water, but it was Zhuang Xuan, who had sunk to the bottom of the water for a long time. It's just that at this time, there was a trace of doubt on Zhuang Xuan's face.
Just now, Zhuang Xuan was very playful after diving into the water, and he wanted to see how deep the pool was, so he dived all the way to the bottom of the pool. But after moving in about ten zhang, Zhuang Xuan still did not dive underwater. After looking around in the water, Zhuang Xuan found that the surrounding space was several times wider than the surface of the waterhole, and when he looked down at the waterhole, he was still bottomless. Zhuang Xuan wanted to continue diving, but the oxygen was insufficient, so he quickly floated to the surface.
Zhuang Xuan's body was soaked in the water, leaning against the rocks by the waterhole, his sword eyebrows furrowed slightly. He had thought that the waterhole had been formed by the impact of a waterfall, but judging from the depth of the dive, the cause of the waterhole became mysterious.
Suddenly, Zhuang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he slapped himself on the head fiercely, how could he forget this? It is inconvenient for him to go down, but his divine consciousness is not affected. Since Zhuang Xuan fused with Baiguzi's energy light cluster, he felt that his divine sense power was already very strong, but how strong it was, Zhuang Xuan had not yet tried it. Just do what you say.
Zhuang Xuan closed his eyes, separated a wisp of divine sense, and leaned towards the bottom of the pool. In an instant, I was at the position where I had dived just now. Zhuang Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart, he really guarded Baoshan before and didn't know it.
Zhuang Xuan controlled the wisp of divine consciousness and continued downward, and everything in the water was clearly presented in his brain. The fish swimming in the water, the aquatic plants growing on the rock wall, and some unknown aquatic creatures were colorful, which surprised Zhuang Xuan a little. When Zhuang Xuan's divine consciousness penetrated into the bottom of the pond for about twenty zhang, he encountered obstacles, and it turned out that he had reached the bottom of the pond at this time.
It's just that Zhuang Xuan's heart is very uncalm at this time. Because judging from the picture fed back by the divine sense, the area at the bottom of the pond is five or six times the size of the mouth of the pool. But other than that, Zhuang Xuan didn't find anything else.
Zhuang Xuan was a little unwilling in his heart, so he controlled his divine sense to explore the bottom of the pool for a week. Suddenly, Zhuang Xuan, who was closing his eyes, looked happy, because his divine sense found a two-meter-sized hole in the rock wall around the bottom of the pool. So he hurriedly probed his consciousness into the cave.
"Huh?" Zhuang Xuan sighed softly. He found that the inside of the hole was gradually upward, and it did not look like a natural formation, but rather a man-made tunnel. Zhuang Xuan's body was shocked, and he was secretly excited in his heart, could it be that he accidentally discovered a cave mansion of his predecessors?
Thinking like this, he worked harder to control the power of his divine consciousness and explore the situation in the passage.
Due to the low terrain of the cave entrance, there is still water in the passage inside the cave entrance. At a certain moment, Zhuang Xuan felt that the scene in his mind had changed, but his divine consciousness had already arrived in a stone cave. It is not accurate to say that the stone cave is actually true, it should be said to be a stone temple. Because this stone hall is too big, there are 20 zhang square circles, and there are obvious traces of artificial excavation in the cave.
The stone walls of the temple are inlaid with unknown beads, emitting a glowing light. There is a stone bed in the middle of the stone hall, and there are several bookshelves around the stone hall, and some books are placed on the shelves, most of which are rotten, probably because of the dampness in the cave. Zhuang Xuan sighed in his heart that it was a pity. The divine sense searched carefully in the stone hall, and suddenly, Zhuang Xuan found a few lines of handwriting on the wall of the stone hall, and after looking at it carefully, Zhuang Xuan's whole body suddenly trembled.
I saw that the stone wall wrote: "The younger generation Zhuang Han, the catastrophe will not die, the inheritance of the predecessors here, in his lifetime, he must work hard to cultivate in order to repay the great kindness of the predecessors!"
Zhuang Han? Isn't that his father's name? The great calamity does not die, does it mean that his father did not die after falling off the Baizhang Cliff back then? At that time, he only had the cultivation in the early stage of the Blood Refining Realm, and he was already injured, and he fell down from the Baizhang Cliff, how did he survive such a serious injury?
Thinking of this, Zhuang Xuan's nose was sour, and he almost cried. Although he has the memory of Baiguzi's previous life, he is only a twelve-year-old child in this life after all, besides, when his father was there, he loved himself so much, and he was still very close to his father in his heart.
It's just that if his father is fine, why hasn't his father returned to the village for so many years? Zhuang Xuan couldn't help but complain a little in his heart. But immediately he forced himself to calm down and control his divine consciousness to continue exploring. On the other side of the stone hall, a dim passage stretched straight ahead, and at the end of the passage, Zhuang Xuan saw a misty scene.
"Could it be that this is Baizhang Cliff?" Zhuang Xuan said in his heart. It turned out that one of the entrances to this cave was actually on the cliff wall of Baizhang Cliff. No wonder it has not been discovered by the village hunters for so many years. The owner of this cave is also down, although he doesn't know his specific cultivation, but just looking at him digging such a cave on the cliff wall, it is not something that ordinary people can do. Zhuang Xuan was happy for his father, with the inheritance of such a senior, his father's current cultivation must be very strong!
Zhuang Xuan's divine sense turned around on the cliff wall, wrote down the location of the cave entrance, and when he had the opportunity, he also went to Baizhang Cliff to see where his father had stayed.
After recovering his senses, Zhuang Xuan climbed ashore and sorted out his thoughts. I can't tell anyone about the discovery of this cave today, it's not that I don't believe the people in the village, but if others ask how they found out, how should they explain it? Also, should I tell my mother that my father is still alive? After so many years, my mother must have slowly accepted the fact that my father died, just like herself. Wouldn't it be more annoying to tell her that her father was alive at this time, and that she didn't know where he was?
"Forget it, let's hide these things first, and talk about it when the time is right!" Zhuang Xuan made a decision in his heart.
Packing up his thoughts, Zhuang Xuan put on his clothes and walked back slowly.
What he experienced in the past two days was something he had never imagined before. Although he has awakened the memories of his past life, he only has memories. In his previous life, he didn't know how to do the exercises at all, everything had to start from scratch, but this was exactly what Zhuang Xuan was glad about.
If he had all the skills of his previous life overnight, how would he deal with himself? Will Lin'er, Ah Hu, and Cang'er alienate themselves? Will the people in the village still spoil themselves as before? What Zhuang Xuan didn't know was that if he had the skills of his previous life in an instant, there would be only one end, and that would be to explode and die, and there would be no scum left.
At this moment, the sky was already bright, and the sun slowly revealed its fiery red face from the eastern canopy, gilding the Black Magic Mountain with a layer of mysterious color. Zhuang Xuan looked at the sun, took a deep breath, and put an innocent smile on his face again.
It's just that his heart has flown to the world outside that he has never been to.
