Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Cave
Li Yu was about to talk to Qin Huang again, but Zhao Hongchen's call came from behind him.
"Senior Brother Huanyu, you come. ”
Li Yu came to Zhao Hongchen's bedside, only to see Zhao Hongchen trying to sit up, and everyone hurriedly comforted him.
Li Yu hurriedly said, "Second Senior Brother, you have just woken up, and your body is weak. If you have anything to say, just lie down and say it. ”
Zhao Hongchen looked at Li Yu and couldn't help but moisten his eyes, choked up and said, "There is Senior Brother Lao." If it weren't for my junior brother, I'm afraid I wouldn't have woken up. This... This is how I should repay you. ”
Li Yu said with a smile: "Senior brother, what is the return." In the future, just make a few more sugar steamed buns for me to eat. ”
Everyone was happy.
Yunxiao smiled: "Second Senior Brother, don't you know, Xiao Yu is very powerful now." Not to mention the three guys who were beaten away that day, they also went to the Shendanmen to worship Lu Danqing, the senior brother of the sect, and became brothers. After speaking, he looked at Li Yu, his eyes full of admiration.
Li Yu was embarrassed, scratching his head and smirking.
The disciples surrounded Li Yu again, and you and I started talking one by one. Only Qin Huang sat alone on the side, looking out the window.
It is said that on that day, Nie Chengfeng and Ren and Yi left the dustpan mountain, and the three of them did not stop, and returned all the way back to the Mending Heaven Sect.
As soon as Nie Chengfeng and the three of them landed, they went straight to a small building.
Nie Chengfeng stood at the door and looked at the door, silent for a long time. Behind him, Ren and Yi glanced at each other, and Jia Yi stepped forward and said, "Little junior brother, junior brother Bu is always going to see you." This time things messed up, and I suffered a lot of losses. It's not that we are not doing well, it's just that the news is wrong, which hurts us. If you want to blame only the kid surnamed Li, he is cunning. I don't think Senior Brother Bu will blame you for ruining the flying sword. ”
Hearing this, Nie Chengfeng took a deep breath, nodded, and pushed the door open.
When the three of them entered the building, they saw that step Qingyun was sitting cross-legged on the couch and meditating. Nie Chengfeng stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Senior Brother Bu, I'm back." ”
Bu Qingyun slowly opened his eyes and looked at Nie Chengfeng. He frowned suddenly, and said in a displeased voice: "You failed?"
Nie Chengfeng only felt that the sword wound on his face was hot, and he lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”
"Huh!
Nie Chengfeng suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
Behind him, Ren and Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said the matter again, and the words were pure prevarication.
"What? How could Li Yu be so powerful? That day in Linlang Pavilion, I hurt him with a shot, and he was definitely a waste. How could it be possible to win the ride?" Bu Qingyun wondered.
Nie Chengfeng said to him: "I'm afraid that Li Yu deliberately hid it at that time. Perhaps it was his master's hands and feet for this conference that spread rumors, just waiting for him to make a splash. When Renyi heard this, he hurriedly agreed.
Bu Qingyun heard this and nodded slightly. said to Nie Chengfeng: "Senior brother, it was the senior brother who said it seriously just now, don't blame the senior brother." Your flying sword is destroyed, I'll help you find one another day. For the wounds on your face, I have the best medicine for wounds, so it's good to use them. ”
Nie Chengfeng said: "Thank you for your care. But I'm going to keep it as it hurts. Always remind myself that one day, I will definitely repay that Li Yu a hundred times. ”
Bu Qingyun nodded, and then said hatefully: "Then Li Yu, I'll let him go for the time being." In this conference, all sects and factions came. There is also the Xizhou Brahman, presumably the Zhitong monk will also participate. There are many fierce opponents, and this is a matter of prestige for our faction, and there is no room for failure. At the moment, I am sprinting to the Heaven Breaking Realm with all my might, once I have been punished that day and ranked in the immortal class, these young people are not enough to worry about. And I will also be famous on the five continents, so that the world will know who is the head of the three masters! At that time, I will want that Li Yu and his star-picking faction to disappear in this Central Continent from now on!"
After that, Bu Qingyun laughed loudly. The two of them echoed, but Nie Chengfeng was expressionless and silent.
Dustpan Mountain, thousands of miles away, has been a few days since Li Yu came back. Zhao Hongchen's injuries have improved greatly and he can walk around on the ground. Qin Huang's injuries were already fine, but for some reason, he was a little silent these days, just blindly cultivating like crazy, and he couldn't even listen to Chenyu's persuasion.
On this day, after the morning class. Chen You said to the disciples: "You have cultivated so far, and I have taught everything I should teach. The so-called master leads the way into the door, and the cultivation depends on himself. After that, you will have to wait for your own efforts. Your second senior brother should be healed in a few days, and it's time for you to prepare for the teacher. ”
After speaking, Chen You said to Li Yu again: "Huanyu, in the past, the teacher was a little negligent to you, but I didn't know that your cultivation has far surpassed that of the same sect, and it was for the teacher's carelessness. At the moment, you are making progress too fast, and you are afraid that your foundation is not strong, so you should not blindly improve your cultivation, but should consolidate your realm more. ”
Seeing Li Yu nodding, Chen You said again: "I went out with your uncle before, and on an unknown mountain, I got a few pieces of red copper ore. As a teacher, I plan to use this to refine a few magic weapons for your two senior brothers and sisters. It's just that my sect is not good at fighting fire, and this red copper is very difficult to melt, so it needs to be assisted by a large amount of coke. Under the cliff behind this dustpan mountain, there is a cave, which is the ancestral ancestral hall of our sect. There is a charcoal smelting kiln outside the cave, you should go and prepare coke for a few days, and then go to refine weapons with you in two days. Li Yu took the order at the moment.
Later, Li Yu packed up the futon, followed Chen You's instructions, followed the trail behind the mountain, and went all the way to find the cave.
This dustpan mountain is like an inverted dustpan. The road up the mountain on weekdays is on the gentle side. But past the hilltop courtyard, it is a steep cliff, very dangerous. On weekdays, Chenyou also warned everyone not to go to the back mountain to play. The ancestral ancestral hall Li Yu had also heard of it before, and it could be regarded as a small forbidden place in the faction.
Li Yu went down the cliff steps, looking at the bottomless cliff on the side, Li Yu thought to himself: "I can fly thanks to it, otherwise I will be scared to death." Suddenly, he heard movement behind him, and when he looked back, it was the little fox following behind.
"Huh, didn't I let you stay in the house? Senior brother will come to bring you food, why did you come with me? I'll be back in a few days, so go back quickly. Li Yu was surprised, and then pretended to be angry and waved his hand to drive away the fox.
Unexpectedly, the little fox not only didn't look back, but also jumped back and forth between the cliffs and rocks, and actually ran in front of Li Yu.
Seeing this, Li Yu said helplessly: "Really, why have you become more and more disobedient since you came back?"
Walking about halfway up the mountain, Li Yu looked up and looked carefully, only to see that although the cliff was steep, it was a little incompatible with the overall mountain situation. It seems that this mountain is not like this, but it seems that something has knocked off half of it, and there is a piece missing.
There was a sound of chirping, and Li Yu looked down to see that there was actually a platform not far below. The platform is naturally made of rocks, jutting out from the cliff wall, but there is no road on both sides, leaving only a mountain stream to flow by. The little fox was smugly calling at himself on the platform, as if he was glad that he had arrived first.
Li Yu shook his head with a smile and walked quickly to the platform. Looking around, although this platform is not big, there are a lot of things.
The most conspicuous thing is the grassy earthen kiln, and there are many coal blocks piled up next to the kiln. Beneath a broken shed, there was a furnace with bellows, and by the furnace stood a rusty anvil with several equally rusty tongs and hammers.
Li Yu looked at these things, and couldn't help but wonder, and said in his heart: "Why do we and other cultivators still use mortal tools? These things seem to have been around for many years. ”
Then Li Yu turned around and saw the cave under the cliff. Li Yu came to the entrance of the cave and saw the words "Falling Star Cave" engraved on the cliff wall of the cave. Li Yu thought to himself, this should be the ancestral ancestral hall of Chen You.
When you enter the cave, the cave is not big, and you can see it all at a glance. Directly opposite the entrance of the cave is an offering table, on which are placed four spiritual seats, several candlesticks and an incense burner. There were a few futons on the floor, and a wooden bucket in the corner with cleaning items, and nothing else.
Li Yu wiped off the table, and saw a thick layer of ash on it, thinking that no one had been here for a long time. Immediately, he put down the futon, picked up the wooden bucket, fetched a bucket of water in the mountain stream outside the cave, and cleaned the cave.
After the hole was cleaned up, Li Yu cleaned up the platform outside the cave again. The little fox sat at the entrance of the cave and watched Li Yu go back and forth. It wasn't until Li Yu rebuilt the broken shed that it was already afternoon.
Li Yu looked around, patted the dust off his body with satisfaction, and turned around and entered the cave. In the cave, he put incense on the ancestors, Li Yu laid the futon on the ground, and then fell on the mattress, and said to himself: "The master said that it is enough to prepare more coke, so I will have to make do with a few ancestors for a few nights in the past few days." ”
Just as he was about to close his eyes and rest, there was a sound in his ears. Li Yu sat up and looked, only to see a plush red tail emerging from under the offering table, but it was the little fox under the table who didn't know what to do.
Seeing this, Li Yu said helplessly: "I said Xiaohong, you are not a mouse, how can you learn to make holes?"
Seeing that the little fox ignored it, Li Yu also got under the offering table, wanting to see what it was doing.
I saw that the little fox was twitching his nose and sniffing against the stone wall at the bottom of the table. "What are you doing?" Li Yu looked in the direction of the little fox, and saw that there was a bulge on the uneven stone wall, and there seemed to be three very small characters engraved on it.
Li Yu took a closer look, and it seemed that those three words were "Hidden Star Cave". Li Yu said strangely at the moment: "Isn't this cave called 'Falling Star Cave'? Why is it still called 'Hidden Star Cave'? The carving is so small that it can't be seen, and it is still engraved under the offering table." What for?"
At that moment, Li Yu reached out to buckle the three small words, but by chance, the three small words were pressed into the stone wall. Li Yu was shocked and hurriedly retracted his hand. I saw that the three small words protruded again, and it turned out to be a mechanism button.
There was a rumbling sound, and the entire stone wall under the offering table actually split inward, revealing a secret passage.
Li Yu and Little Fox were both shocked, and then they both showed excited smiles.
"I didn't expect there to be a secret passage here, could it be that Master Zu is hiding some treasure in it? It just so happens that I'm the only one, so it's better to go in and take a look." Li Yu thought.
If you want to stop Li Yu, you have to get into the dark passage, but the little fox "swished" and got into it first. Li Yu shook his head, remembered something again, retreated, bowed to the patriarch's tablet, and then drilled back again.
The dark passage was not long, and Li Yu came out of it in a few clicks. It was pitch black inside, and Li Yu pinched the magic trick in his hand, and a fireball the size of an egg appeared on his fingertips. The firelight illuminated the entire dark room, and it turned out to be a small cave.
Li Yu lifted the fireball into the air and looked around. There are no imaginary treasures in the cave, but there is a strange pit in the ground. The pit walls are rocky and seem to have been melted at one time. There is a small raised dirt bag at the bottom of the pit, and there is a pit on the top. Li Yu only felt that the shape of this pit was very familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while.
A chirping sound came, and Li Yu looked at the fireball, only to see that on the opposite side of the big pit, there seemed to be a figure sitting in the dark.
