Chapter 15: Dongfu (Part II)

Little Tom couldn't open his mouth with something in his mouth, and he whimpered and triumphant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tang Chen's face showed a different color, squatted down and beckoned the kitten to come over, took off the things in the kitten's mouth, and brought it to the front for observation. After a while, he asked the thing to put it down, and whispered: "I thought I was wrong, but it turned out to be really ......."

It was a rectangular jade artifact, about half a foot long, with a few broken spots on the top, but Tang Chen could still immediately tell that it was a jade slip. Jade slips are widely used in the cultivation world, mainly used for recording, words, pictures, and images can be stored in jade slips, the capacity and reading convenience of jade slips are beyond the reach of ordinary paper, a small jade slip, can hold a lot of content.

The reading of jade slips relies on divine consciousness, and the strength of ordinary people's divine consciousness is usually very low, and the vast majority of people do not even perceive the existence of divine consciousness throughout their lives, and the users of jade slips are usually monks. This jade slip has a simple shape and is very well polished, but unfortunately because it has been broken, even if there is a record in it, it cannot be read.

There is a jade slip, which means that there are people in this cave, at least there used to be!

"Where did it come from?"

The kitten stretched out one of its front legs and pointed to the corner of the road.

"How did you find out?"

Without waiting for the kitten to answer, Tang Chen had come back to his senses, and said with a dumb smile: "Look at my memory, you are the eye of the night." ”

After the kitten brought back the jade slip, Tang Chen's desire to explore the cave became even more urgent. After instructing the kitten not to go deep for the time being, Tang Chen slid directly down from the rattan rope more than 30 meters long, rushed back to the camp, made a few simple torches with wooden sticks and dry branches, and hurried back to the cave. Light a torch with the fireball technique, and the darkness at the corner of the corridor is dispelled by the firelight, and the deep corridor leads nowhere.

"Tom, get out of the way!"

"Meow!"

The kitten happily obeyed, and ran leisurely past Tang Chen's feet with small broken steps, and took the lead in entering the corridor, followed by Tang Chen with a torch.

The road is deep, and there is still no end in sight after walking for ten minutes, and there are many turns. Fortunately, there is no fork in the road, so there is no need to worry about the danger of getting lost for the time being, and the ventilation in the cave is good, and there is no feeling of sullenness when walking inside.

Maybe it's been in the valley for too long, and suddenly comes to a new environment, and the kitten seems very excited. Its eyes were wide open, and it ran wildly in the corridor with its super night vision. It's just that Tang Chen has been walking unhurriedly, the kitten is quite impatient, lurking in the dark in front of him from time to time, as soon as Tang Chen comes over, he jumps up like a cheetah to launch a surprise attack, pounces on Tang Chen's feet with his teeth and claws, pretends to grab a few times, and quickly runs away, looking for the next ambush point in front.

Although the torch was lit, Tang Chen's eyesight was greatly reduced in the dim corridor, Tang Chen had been paying attention to the four walls of the corridor and the ground, so he had no idea what the kitten was doing, plus the kitten's speed was too strong, the kitten's ambush was almost accurate, even if Tang Chen released his divine sense, it would be useless, and he was powerless to stop the kitten's teasing behavior. However, there were times when the kitten died, and was accidentally stepped on by Tang Chen, although Tang Chen immediately retracted his strength after finding out, the kitten still couldn't help but scream.

After stepping on it, Tang Chen thought that the kitten would stop a little, but this guy has a good scar and forgot the pain attribute, the kitten loves this game very much, or after a while, he will rush out to show off his might.

Although the road has not yet reached the end, along the way, nothing has been discovered.

Of course, it is not that there is no gain, Tang Chen can feel that although Yongdao has been going around and around, it is generally showing a downward trend. In addition, the tunnel is relatively humid, and the dampness at the entrance of the cave can also be understood as the original vegetation locks in the water, and now that it has been deep into the tunnel for so long, it is naturally inappropriate to use vegetation to explain the water vapor, Tang Chen speculated that there is likely to be a water source in the depths of the tunnel. This also confirms the conclusion that it is going deep into the belly of the mountain, because the only water source in the valley is the Wang Qingtan.

"Meow!"

Tang Chen's spirits lifted, and the kitten made a discovery!

Tang Chen walked a few steps quickly, and the kitten was squatting in the middle of the corridor, and a black thing was in front of it.

Lower the torch and keep your eyes on it.

On the ground is a bronze mirror, the oval mirror lines are simple and bright, the mirror body can see a small amount of bronze, but more black, everywhere is dense black patches, by the air water vapor oxidation is very serious. Tang Chen picked up the bronze mirror from the ground, and his divine sense swept by, but he couldn't find the spiritual reaction on the bronze mirror.

Tang Chen didn't need the bronze mirror, so he casually threw the bronze mirror back to the ground.

Although the bronze mirror was also useless to him, it was certain that there were people in the cave who were once haunted.

patting the kitten's head, Tang Chen got up and continued on the road.

Another 10 minutes passed, and the corridor was still stretching forward, the downward trend slowed down significantly, and the moisture in the air became heavier and heavier. Tang Chen changed a torch and continued to move forward unhurriedly. He secretly calculated that the distance he had walked should be close to a kilometer, but he still didn't see the end, and the depth of the corridor was amazing.

"Meow!" Tom had another catch.

Tang Chen immediately quickened his pace, turned another corner, and suddenly found that it was no longer pitch black in front of him, and some light came. The light was soft and gentle, not like sunlight and firelight, and in Tang Chen's eyes, the faint glow was as bright as a lighthouse, allowing the lost sailors in the sea to find their way.

Tang Chen's face was overjoyed, he had been walking for so long, and he was finally here!

The further you go, the more visible the light becomes.

When Tang Chen saw the light source clearly, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

A copper lamp is obliquely inserted into the stone wall on the left side of the road, and in the disc at the top of the copper lamp, it is not the wick and the lamp oil that are placed, but a night pearl with the size of a dragon's eye. The bright light that I saw in the distance before was emitted by this night pearl.

The night pearl usually does not contain spiritual power, and its greatest value lies in its decorative use, but in the eyes of the monks, things that have nothing to do with cultivation are basically no different from garbage, except for the female monks who love beauty, few monks will deliberately collect them.

Of course, Tang Chen is an exception.

Although he has been diligent in cultivation for a period of time recently, he was only forced by the environment, and he had to desperately improve his strength in order to get out of trouble as soon as possible, but he has not changed in his bones, and he is still the foodie who loves life. Judging from the perspective of his experience in two trade fairs, this night pearl is impeccable in size and condition, and can be sold for a good price, and if he is lucky, it should be okay to solve a year's supply.

Tang Chen suppressed the urge to put the night pearl into the Qiankun bag, and beckoned the kitten to continue walking forward.

Trapped in the Jedi for so long, Tang Chen's mentality has calmed down a lot, the most urgent thing in front of him is to find a way out, if he can't find a way out, he can only wait for death in this valley, no matter how valuable things are, they will rot in his hands. The ladder project was difficult, and he hoped that the cave would surprise him.

The appearance of the Night Pearl Lighting indicates that he is close to the core area, and he decides to take a look first.

The pearls of the night guided the direction, and Tang Chen simply extinguished the torches.

He soon came to the end of the corridor, which was a half-hidden stone door.

Pushing open the stone door, the eyes suddenly opened up.
