Since the goddess moved out to live, Zhou Xiao still has to visit the goddess every day, and after the goddess recovers, she just cultivates every day and does not go to the county government to report Zhou Xiao has no opinion.

On this day, he came to the place where the goddess usually trains, and happened to meet Peng Wuya who wanted to ask the goddess for a favor.

"Five days later, the Jiazi Cave will open, I wonder if the Divine Maiden Senior Sister can enter the cave with me and Lu Ming?" Peng Wuya said.

"No, it's too dangerous there. Zhou Xiao categorically denied Peng Wuya.

Hearing Zhou Xiao's objection, Peng Wuya looked at the goddess, and the goddess said, "What is the place in Jiazi Cave?"

"Jiazi Cave, is a cave that will only be opened every sixty years, there are countless precious medicinal materials, ores and treasures in it, how much can be taken depends on the individual's ability, although there is a certain danger, but with the current cultivation of the senior sister should be able to deal with it. ”

"It's not that simple, I've heard that there is an artifact in the cave, and in order to compete for this artifact, many masters were buried in it the last time the cave was opened. ”

"Brother Zhou don't have to worry about this, the purpose of our entry into the cave this time is not the ethereal artifact, just to find some herb ores and other things, as long as we don't enter the legendary dragon room, there will be no conflict with other forces, there shouldn't be much danger, besides, we don't have a map, even if we want to go to the dragon room, there is no way to find a way." ”

"That's not good, wouldn't it be very passive if Sister Da Fei took action during the caving?"

"Zhou Zhutou, you are even more worried, didn't you notice that the surroundings of Bacheng are very peaceful these days, and the bandits are almost extinct? That's because the sects that are preparing to explore the caves have come to the southwest county one after another, and the heroes of the various sects are gearing up to try, if the bandits are active at this time, it will be simply a self-defeating net. ”

Hearing Peng Wuya say this, some of the doubts in Zhou Xiao's heart were solved. He thought to himself that it was no wonder that Peng Wuya was able to rush to support so quickly after learning that Lu Ming was in trouble, he should have arrived in Southwest County for the matter of Jiazidong. And in order to explore the cave, he did not return to the sect immediately after rescuing Lu Ming, but absorbed the goddess to join the sect and personally sparred, all of which was in preparation for entering the cave.

Zhou Xiao was thinking about the relationship, but the goddess suddenly said:

"No problem, I promised. ”

"Why? Don't you think about it again?" Zhou Xiao said.

"The cave only opens once in sixty years, and if I miss it this time, I will be old by the next time I open it. ”

Hearing the goddess say this, Zhou Xiao was a little ashamed, since he became a fast catcher, the bandit has become the whole of his life, and gradually changed his thinking, all the efforts are around the bandit, all the pros and cons also revolve around the bandit, the busy work has made him ignore that the world is very big, life should be more exciting and have more experience, and unconsciously he is using his utilitarian thinking to limit the goddess.

The goddess's simple words reminded him that he was still young, and he should be the age of squandering his blood, if he didn't have the courage to take risks and experience at this age, then when he hurried through his youth, what memories could he leave behind that was worth reminiscing after he was old?

"I'm joining too!" Zhou Xiao suddenly changed his attitude.

Peng Wuya was stunned for Zhou Xiao's transformation at first, but he immediately said happily: "Great, one more person will have more strength, in the next five days, let's prepare well." ”

"No problem, anyway, I'm the acting county magistrate now, and if there are any material needs, just pack it up to me. Zhou Xiao patted his chest and said.

At this point, Peng Wuya, the goddess, Zhou Xiao, and Lu Ming formed a caving team from the Kongyuan faction. Sister Da Fei, Liang Feng, Fatty Fish, and Ma Mian formed the Caving Detachment of the Thief Alliance. At the same time as they completed the team, all the major factions on the rivers and lakes also completed the formation of the caving detachment.

In the autumn equinox of 142 of the Han calendar, outside the Jiazi Cave of Dawu Mountain, when Peng Wuya and his party came, the various sects had already set up camp one after another.

Standing on the top of the hill and looking down, I saw camps of different colors dotted in the huge valley basin, like a sea of flowers, which was magnificent. In the camp, the polished shiny weapons and equipment reflect the sunlight, like a sea of stars falling in the sky, and the disciples wearing the uniforms of various factions are gearing up, ready to enter the most mysterious place in the Great Wu Mountain.

The Jiazidong camp seems to be chaotic, but in fact, the location of each sect's camp is determined by the heads of each sect after countless martial arts conferences, and the central location is Shengwu, Xuandu, Tianlong, and Yaotai, the territory of the four major sects. The strength of the sect gradually decreased from the center to the outside, and it was ranked in the empty distance, but it was closer to Jiazidong.

Outside the circle of the 72 sect camps, there are also scattered camps, the camp of the Thieves Alliance is among them, Cai Yong led more than a dozen elite soldiers to camp to help Zhou Xiao, but this time, although the king of thieves is in front of him, Cai Yong does not dare to catch it. Although they did not participate in the martial arts conference to make an alliance, it was obvious that the sects present did not want other forces to cause more trouble, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past. If he had a conflict with the King of Thieves, not to mention whether he could fight or not, the 72 sects would stop them first.

Peng Wuya led the goddess and others to the camp of the Kongyuan faction, and Lu Xuanyou, the head of the sky, personally took more than a dozen disciples to answer in the camp. Peng Wuya briefly introduced the goddess to him, and he was very happy when he heard that the goddess had joined the Kongyuan faction, and immediately took out a string of delicate turquoise bracelets and gave them to the goddess.

In recent years, the Qiongshan faction, which was very close to the Kongyuan faction, suddenly rose after changing its head, and the new head Wu Zhengfei carried out institutional reforms on the Qiongshan faction, and began to recruit disciples and strictly manage them, which achieved excellent results. The prosperity of the Qiongshan Sect led to the decline of the Kongyuan Sect, although there were geniuses like Peng Wuya, but after all, there was only this one exception, in fact, the Kongyuan Sect had no new disciples to join for a long time, and even many of the old disciples had left to join others. This time when I came to explore Jiazi Cave, the people of the Kongyuan faction were obviously much smaller than those of other sects, but this was already the combat power that could all participate in actual combat, so Lu Xuanyou would be so happy when he heard that masters like the goddess had joined.

After talking about the goddess, Peng Wuya introduced Zhou Xiao to the head again, saying that although he did not join the Kongyuan faction, he wanted to join the Kongyuan faction's cave exploration team. After hearing this, Lu Xuanyou also readily agreed, originally he was more entangled in the candidates for entering the cave this time, because there were too few capable people in the sect, and if they were all sent in, if something happened to the sect, it would be a huge loss to the sect.

After meeting the master, the four of them sat in the camp to rest, although they could be sure that it would be opened today, but they could not determine the specific time, and everyone could only wait patiently.

Now in front of the goddess is a huge cliff, the cliff from the valley straight into the sky, as if it is the wall of sighs that divides the two worlds of yin and yang, giving people a strong sense of oppression. There were all kinds of plants growing on the cliffs, and she glanced around and couldn't see any holes, so she asked, "Where is the hole? Why can't I see it?"

"The entrance to the cave is right in front of us, but it won't be revealed until it opens. Peng Wuya said.

"But there is a rock wall in front of us, how can a hole suddenly appear? Is the cliff hollow?"

The goddess was very curious, and was idle anyway, so she came to the cliff and struck it with her fist a few times. But her few empty punches did not have any effect on the cliff, and the strength did not penetrate the past, and it was obvious that the cliff was solid.

"Senior sister, don't bother, if this mountain wall was so easy to penetrate, those people from the big sect would have come to dig it through. Lu Ming said on the side, although his strength is far inferior to that of the goddess, according to the order of entry, the goddess is still considered a junior sister.

"The stone wall outside this mountain is very special, containing many metal components, tens of thousands of years ago here is a volcano, after countless eruptions, magma repeatedly flowed through the valley to form this cliff, so this cliff is like a shield made by the infinite power of nature, which cannot be chiseled by man. Peng Wuya added.

"Then the location of the Kongyuan faction is not bad, so close to the entrance of the cave. Zhou Xiao said.

Peng Wuya smiled bitterly: "It's not a good thing to be close to the entrance of the cave, and there will definitely be rocks rolling down when the Jiazi Cave opens, and our camps close to the entrance of the cave will be the first to suffer." ”

"It's no wonder that the four major factions set up the camp in the center, and it turned out that it was still out of interest considerations, that is, they would not be smashed by falling rocks, and they would not be too far away and lose the opportunity. Zhou Xiao said.

"In that case, why don't we wait for the rockfall to pass?" said the goddess.

"Hehe, although the territory is divided, but it is only a verbal agreement, if you come late, the position will definitely be occupied by other sects, and besides, if you are afraid of falling rocks and dare not camp, it will not be a loss of face for the sect. ”

As a few people were talking, the voice of their head of the Qiongshan Sect on the side came from the Qiongshan Sect, and the voice of the lecture was very loud, as if it was deliberately intended to be heard by the Kongyuan Sect.

"I'll be smart when the rocks fall, the four King Kongs and I will protect the main camp, and the other disciples of you must do your best to keep your own tents intact. Also, the impact of the falling rocks is strong, and if you fly over, you don't necessarily push forward, and it's okay to hit the camp next to no people. ”

Lu Ming was furious when he heard this, this Wu Zhengfei was obviously provoking with a lot of people, he immediately stood up and pointed at Wu Zhengfei and said:

"What do you mean by Qiongshan, are you deliberately looking for trouble!"

"Hmph, where did the yellow-mouthed child come from is noisy here, and the master doesn't know how to discipline him. ”

Wu Zhengfei glanced at Lu Xuanyou and said.

Of course, Lu Xuanyou was also angry in his heart, and replied: "Wu Zhengfei, don't deceive people too much, the successive heads of your Qiongshan have always been famous for their humility and courtesy, which makes the Qiongshan faction quite high, do you want to lose the reputation left by the previous heads of the past dynasties?"

Wu Zhengfei has always had the idea of completely eating the Kongyuan faction, and when he saw Lu Xuanyou return his mouth, he didn't give an inch: "Lu Xuanyou, you still have the face to speak, look at what people are left under your door, the old and the crippled, finally there is a healthy apprentice, a few days ago I heard that he was taken hostage by a female bandit, I think this Kongyuan faction will die in your hands sooner or later." On the other hand, my Qiongshan faction, now the people are prosperous and strong, you and I don't know who is ashamed of the heads of the past dynasties. ”

"You, you~ have the ability to come out and go heads-up. ”

Lu Xuanyou was scolded and didn't know how to respond, so angry he proposed to fight alone.

"Hmph, this time there is a covenant first, it is forbidden to fight privately during the caving, and those who violate it cannot enter the cave, you don't have the ability to explore the cave and want to pull us into the water, so I won't fall for you. ”

After saying that, Wu Zhengfei turned his head and continued to speak, although Lu Xuanyou was angry, he couldn't openly violate the law to find Wu Zhengfei to fight alone, only to hear Wu Zhengfei say to the doorman again: "Everyone understands what I said just now, I'm explaining to you so as not to understand the mistake, and when the falling rocks fly over, they will all block me from the sect next to me where there is no one else!"

"It's the master!", the people of the Qiongshan Gate shouted in unison, and the sound resounded through the valley.

Peng Wuya saw that Lu Zhangmen had lost a defeat, and he didn't feel good in his heart, he looked at the situation in the Kongyuan faction camp again, the number of people was much less than that of Qiongshan, and what was even worse was that Lu Ming was already the strongest in martial arts, so it seemed that he would lose again when he fell stone. His eyes looked at the camp again and again, but he could not see any hope, so he could only look at the goddess and said to her, "I may have to trouble my sister to help me a lot later." ”

"Well, no problem, it just so happens that I also think that Wu Zhengfei is very annoying. ”
