Chapter 4: Exploring the Secret Room at Night
In the evening, Yutang left with Yu Qingyan silently, and Lin Yi lay on the stone floor of the martial arts training ground, staring at the sky with empty eyes, without the slightest emotion.
The blue sky was crimson in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the fiery clouds changed their appearance in the air from time to time, as if mocking Lin Yi's incompetence.
Even though it was March Spring, the stone face was already cold, irritating Lin Yi's skin, and he longed for the biting cold to relieve the pain in his heart and dissolve his longing for Yutang.
"Young master, the master asked you to go to the study. Lin Kui's deep voice pierced the sky again, arousing Lin Yi, Lin Yi temporarily suppressed the sadness that kept bursting out in his heart, turned over and stood up, bent down and grabbed his thin clothes, and without saying a word, put on his shirt and went to the study with Lin Kui.
In the study, the rocking chair swayed slightly, Lin Tianyi carefully tasted the fragrant hot tea, and after a long time, Lin Kui knocked on the door and took Lin Yi into the study.
"Lin Kui, it's not too early, you go and rest first, I'll talk to Yi'er about something. Lin Tianyi put down the teacup and said.
"Yes, sir, then I won't bother you. Lin Kui bowed and retreated.
"Yi'er, today's events are a bit irritating to you. It's a little beyond my expectations, are you feeling better now?" Lin Tianyi's eyes became more worried, and he said to Lin Yi.
"Grandpa, after a period of venting, I'm much better. Lin Yi responded to Lin Tianyi's question, but there was still a faint pain in his heart, and the graceful figure of the girl kept appearing in his mind.
"If that hadn't happened nine years ago, it wouldn't have been what it is today, alas. Lin Tianyi let out a long sigh.
"Grandpa, let it be revealed, no matter how you think about it, it has become a memory, memories can be used for reference, can be appreciated, but after all, you can't start over, I can't always live in the past, people always have to move forward. Lin Yi's eyes already had a little brilliance, and he was no longer like the walking dead as before.
"Yi'er, do you hate him?" Lin Tianyi pondered for a while and asked.
"He, can't talk about hate, he was also forced to be helpless at the beginning, not to mention that he still ......" Lin Yi replied indifferently.
"I see. Lin Tianyi understood Lin Yi's words, he looked at the somewhat dark starry sky through the window, and said to Lin Yi kindly: "Yi'er, you should also rest early, relax your mind, don't put too much pressure on yourself." ”
Lin Yi nodded slightly and walked towards his small courtyard, Lin Tianyi looked at his grandson's distant back, frowned and muttered, "Is it a blessing or a curse?"
Under the deep starry sky, the small courtyard is still quiet and quiet, a ray of warm sunlight is replaced by a bright and soft moonlight, like a flash of water flowing slowly, Lin Yi bathed in the moonlight, wandering in the small courtyard, hoping that the moonlight can soothe the waves in his heart that have not yet calmed down.
Suddenly, the ground of the small courtyard trembled slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and then, the small courtyard shook more and more violently, Lin Yi felt the slightest tremor from nowhere, and his hands slightly supported the stone wall.
After a long time, the ground returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened, Lin Yi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, walked out of the courtyard, looked around, and found that only his own courtyard was trembling just now, the Lin family's courtyard was quiet, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, Lin Yi turned around and returned to the courtyard, trying to find the cause of the tremor.
Lin Yi carefully surveyed the surroundings, but the search was fruitless, at this time, the ground shook weakly, Lin Yi seemed to have captured something, and quickly leaned over to the ground, and the vibration sound in his ears was really much more obvious. Lin Yi's eyes smeared a fine light, constantly groping on the ground, suddenly, Lin Yi's hand touched the stone button hidden in the grass, gently turned, the floor tiles roared, a dark and dark hole was reflected in Lin Yi's eyes, Lin Yi stared curiously at this sudden mysterious hole.
After thinking for a moment, he walked out of the small courtyard again, looked for a long time, and saw no figure appear, gently closed the wooden door, tied the deadbolt, took out the sharp knife from his bosom, and went into the house to find the stick, slowly lit it with a candle, and then walked towards the entrance of the cave, not noticing a letter and a ring on the table in the room.
Lin Yi jumped and fell into the pitch-black hole, the wind in the cave was gusting, blowing the flames on the torch swaying, Lin Yi couldn't help but shiver, couldn't help but bring the torch closer to himself, feeling the heat from the flames, Lin Yi's face was much ruddy, temporarily resisting the cold wind that was cold to the bone.
Lin Yi looked around with the faint light of fire emitted by the torches, and there were stone walls all around, and there was a stone depression to form a platform, on which were placed two pieces of white paper, and a faint golden curtain like a waterfall hung in front of the platform.
Lin Yi stood the torch aside, stretched out his hand to the stone platform, and as soon as he came into contact with the light curtain, a huge spiritual power surged out, and Lin Yi was instantly slammed into another stone wall and fell to the ground. Lin Yi struggled to get up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, rubbed his slightly bruised limbs, brushed off the dust on his body, and stared thoughtfully at the light curtain, which not only did not fade, but became brighter and brighter, exuding amazing spiritual power fluctuations.
"I have lived in the small courtyard for nine years, and I have never felt such a strong shaking, and my grandfather has never said that there is a stone room under the small courtyard, I don't know or hide something, my grandfather's name is on the mainland, and his status is noble, I shouldn't be unaware of the existence of this secret room, is this earthquake just an accident that even grandpa didn't expect? This stone room is so simple, although the light curtain is peculiar, but no one touches it, it will not vibrate, so where is the source of the earthquake just now? Could it be that this stone room hides a mystery?" Lin Yi had one question after another in his mind, but he couldn't solve them, and he was a little upset.
Lin Yi reorganized his thoughts, stared at the two blank sheets of paper behind the light curtain, and couldn't help but think in his heart: The vibration from the earth should be from this stone room, and the source should be related to the two white papers behind the light curtain.
Lin Yi closed his slender eyes tightly, and his hand slowly stretched out towards the light curtain, the light curtain absorbed the remaining blood stains on Lin Yi's hands, became dull, and gradually dissipated, and Lin Yi, who closed his eyes, knew nothing about all this.
After waiting for a long time, there was no pain, Lin Yi opened his eyes suspiciously, looked at the place where the light curtain had disappeared and did not leave the slightest trace, he was slightly stunned, and said softly: "The light curtain has disappeared?
Immediately, Lin Yi first picked up a thin piece of white paper, and the words on the white paper jumped and poured into Lin Yi's sea of knowledge, "The old man traveled to the mainland, the four seas were his home, challenging martial artists from all over the world, learning martial arts, not to chase fame and fortune, but to continue to absorb the essence, abandon its dross, improve himself, and pursue the pinnacle of martial arts. Martial God, life is in a hurry, empty, if there are regrets, the old man is unwilling, so the old man is determined to make a desperate bet, try to impact the realm of the martial god again, if not successful, he will become benevolent, erase the regret or dissipate it, and live a chic life. The old man has now seen through life and death, but does not want to hide the 'cross formula' created by himself, and the old man absorbs the essence of the mainland's martial arts, and constantly improves and improves, although he does not expect the 'cross formula' to go to the next level, but I hope that those who are destined will not insult the power of the 'cross formula' and carry it forward. And the 'cross trick' condenses ten kinds of martial arts with their own merits, it takes a lot of time to really learn one of them, rather than learning ten kinds of martial arts at the same time, swallowing dates, it is better to break them one by one, so, after careful consideration, the old man summarized the ten kinds of martial arts into ten pieces of paper, scattered in ten places on the mainland, and selected ten people who are destined for the old man, ten pieces of paper or people who master one of the martial arts of the 'cross trick' have a sense within a certain range, if the final harvest and learning' Of course, the inheritance of the old man's true bowl also needs to meet some conditions, the old man as a dust controller, naturally needs to be passed on by the dust controller, otherwise it will not be able to play. In addition, there is a space stone seal that is a treasure obtained by the old man when he travels in the void, and now the old man has lifted the blood to recognize the master, and put it together with one of the pieces of paper, if the old man goes, the treasure is useless, so it is left to the old man's destined disciples, the origin of the stone seal is unknown, the old man has not been able to study it thoroughly, but always feels that its role is very great, and I hope that the destined person will continue to explore it. Well, for a thousand years, the old man is a little nagging, everything that should be said has been said, and the rest of the destined people should reflect on themselves, after all, cultivation needs to rely on themselves after all-Lin Yexiang. ”
The sonorous and powerful characters appeared one by one in Lin Yi's sea of knowledge, like a dragon out of the water, with a majestic momentum. The paper in Lin Yi's hand disappeared with the handwriting, and it had turned into a wisp of dust and ceased to exist.
Lin Yi picked up the second piece of white paper, this paper is a map drawn with complex patterns, and only a short paragraph is written next to the map: "One realm is one mark, one mark is a trick, one trick is stacked and one is heavy, and one is a realm." ”
Lin Yi took the blank piece of paper into his arms, and the doubts in his mind only increased, and he still couldn't understand where the epicenter came from.
Suddenly, there was a tremor in the stone room, Lin Yi took a step back, avoiding the falling stone chips and dust, for a long time, the stone room returned to its original quiet, Lin Yi stepped forward to carefully observe the stone wall, and found that the stone wall had a slight gap, and the gap faintly revealed a soft light.
Lin Yi attached the milky white spiritual power to his fists and smashed it against the stone wall, but the power of the qi vortex was only slightly greater than the strength of ordinary people, and it was the ultimate to be able to use the spiritual power to do some simple and incredible things, how could it be possible to shake the hard stone wall.
Lin Yi gasped and kept rubbing his red and swollen fists, Lin Yi couldn't help but think in his heart: I forgot about those daily tools when I was used to using spiritual power, and it hurt me to death.
Lin Yi stared at the stone wall helplessly, his spiritual power wrapped his feet, jumped up, held the stone bricks at the entrance of the cave with both hands, climbed out with some difficulty, breathed a breath of fresh air, ran to the house to get a pickaxe and rope, and returned to the stone room.
Lin Yi picked up the pickaxe, smashed hard against the stone wall, time passed quickly, the stone wall was already incomplete, Lin Yi waved his sleeves to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, and after a while, the stone wall was finally chiseled through by Lin Yi, Lin Yi exhaled a breath of turbidity, put the pickaxe aside, picked up the torch by the wall, and slowly passed through the stone wall, behind the stone wall is a deep dark passage, the dark secret passage made Lin Yi hesitate, now Lin Yi is exhausted, if there is the slightest danger, there is no resistance.
A glimmer of light suddenly flashed at the end of the dark passage, Lin Yi bit the root, raised the torch, and walked cautiously to the depths, the steps were covered with moss, Lin Yi felt soft and comfortable, and after a while, Lin Yi walked to the end of the dark passage.
