Now that everyone had seen the crack in the stone, they were all excited. The most excited was, of course, Guru Luoba.
He was anxious to go in and see what was going on. He was a devout follower of the Bon Sect, and he was extremely eager to worship the legendary profound Buddhist cultivation of his sect. He only wanted to see the true appearance and kneel down to worship.
The Miao girl also had her own plans. The Miao girl was not interested in money. If she wanted money, it was easy. What she wanted was something that money could not buy. It was the most expensive thing in the world, the dream of everyone-eternal youth.
Ever since she found out that there was really a type of Gu worm in the world, the King of All Gu, that could make its recognized master stay young forever, she had left the mountain and traveled the world to find the magical King of Gu.
After so many years, there was no trace of him. From the secret manual passed down by the ancestor of Miao Gu, he found some obscure information. Miao Gu and hidden Gu had a deep relationship. He immediately traveled thousands of miles to Tibet, hoping to find something in Tibet.
Coincidentally, he had arrived in Tibet and was invited to participate in this Tibetan adventure. He wondered if the treasure buried thousands of years ago in front of him had something he had dreamed of.
Huo Jiakai was about to step on the stone and jump into the crack in the mountain when Old Wang pulled him back." I don't know what's going on inside. I'll go in and take a look first." Take good care of them. Wait until you're sure there's no danger inside before you go in.”Huo Jiakai was worried about leaving Lu Yue outside. He nodded and stepped aside.
Old Wang stepped onto the rock and nimbly stuck to the crack in the rock, then turned his body sideways and entered. The two sides of the stone crack were very flat, as if it had been chiseled by someone. Lao Wang groped his way forward. The air inside was a little fishy, but he could breathe normally. Lao Wang felt as if he was walking down. After walking for about fifteen minutes, the stone crevice gradually widened. He could freely pass through a person.
As they walked further, they came to a huge cave in the middle of the mountain. The ceiling of the cave was very high, just like a colorful starry sky. Countless " stars " were shining with colorful light, silver, red, yellow, and blue. It was indescribably magical and gorgeous. There was wind in the cave, so there should be a gap connecting it to the outside.
Old Wang's eyes had already adapted to the darkness. He did not immediately turn on the flashlight. It would be very dangerous to do so without knowing the surroundings. Now, Lao Wang did not find anything aggressive. He turned on the flashlight and realized that the cave was connected to another passage. He did not know how big the passage was, nor where it led to.
Just as Old Wang was hesitating whether he should go and investigate, he heard Ping 'an's voice. It turned out that everyone saw that he had come in for such a long time and did not turn back. They were afraid that something would happen to him, so they decided to come in together. Everyone was attracted by the magical beauty of the cave ceiling. "Are these all gems? Is this the treasure you were talking about?”
Guru Loba said that there must be other treasures. Old Wang pointed out the passage to everyone and said," Since this place is so secretive, if the treasure is really hidden here, there shouldn't be many exits.”
Just as everyone was about to enter the passageway, they felt a tremor under their feet and heard a dull buzzing sound.
Huo Jiakai was the first to protect Lu Yue. The others squatted down and covered their heads, thinking that it was an earthquake. A few minutes passed, and there was no more movement. At this moment, everyone thought that the stone crack had closed.
Lao Wang realized that the crack was divided into two parts. The first part was designed by humans using nature and could be opened and closed. The latter part was naturally formed.
Now, he could only go to the passageway to investigate. The passage was still a slope, but the ground was paved with stone slabs and curved forward. After walking for nearly 20 minutes, Lao Wang estimated that they had descended another few dozen meters. As they were walking, Huo Jiakai cried out in displeasure. He picked up Lu Yue and retreated.
After Huo Jiakai and Lu Yue retreated a few feet, Old Wang Pingan also felt danger approaching. A strong gust of fishy wind blew in his face. Lao Wang shone his flashlight over and saw a giant python entrenched in the middle of the passage.
The passage was only about the width of a person. The python's huge body blocked the passage, and it could not move. Its large head stood up high, hissing threateningly.
The python had a black base with white patterns, and the patterns looked like huge eyes. His eyes were like copper bells, emitting a fierce light.
In this narrow space, snakes and humans could not act rashly because there was no space to dodge. The human-snake hybrids were in a stalemate. Lao Wang decided to attack because this was the giant python's territory. The longer they fought, the more disadvantageous it would be for Lao Wang and the others.
Lao Wang held the dagger and leaned forward. Lao Wang's plan was to stab the dagger into the python's mouth. As the python's body was thick and its scales were like armor, stabbing its body did not have much lethality, and it was easy for him to be entangled.
However, the giant python seemed to understand Lao Wang's intentions. It tilted its head and quickly coiled around him. There was no place to move around, so Lao Wang could only retreat quickly. He was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. Being entangled by the giant python was fatal.
As time passed, the giant python raised its head provocatively, as if it was saying that it would attack together. It did not matter if they were outnumbered. Old Wang wanted to attack together, but the passageway could only accommodate one person.
At this moment, he heard the Miao girl say," Let me try.”
The Miao girl had raised snakes since she was young, so she was very confident in taking down this giant python. The Miao girl took out a piccolo from her cloth bag and played the tune of playing the snake.
Sure enough, the python was much more docile. Its raised head slowly lowered, and its mouth no longer hissed.
The Miao girl was a little proud of herself. Just like how she used to play with snakes, she walked closer and wanted to tame the snake so that she could make way for it. Unexpectedly, when the Miao girl approached, the giant python suddenly stood up and issued a warning. The Miao girl was shocked. This had never happened before. No snake could resist her bragging.
Lu Yue was also curious when she saw the Miao girl playing the flute and preparing to tame the python. She moved forward. Although Huo Jiakai still blocked her, she was finally closer and could see the python clearly.
Just as the giant python was warning the Miao girl, the giant python-elephant smelled something and kept shaking its head as if it was looking for something.
It slowly lowered its entire body and moved forward slowly. It moved very slowly, as if it was afraid of alarming someone, but everyone still retreated. The python looked at Lu Yue and slithered towards her.
Huo Jiakai saw the python charging at Lu Yue and was ready to kill it. Huo Jiakai did not attack first because his mission was to protect Lu Yue. He did not care about the other obstacles that others could remove. He did not want to waste his energy and only wanted to save his strength to remove the danger for Lu Yue. Now that the python was targeting Lu Yue, he naturally wouldn't hold back.
Lu Yue suddenly stopped Huo Jiakai and said," The python has no ill intentions. Don't hurt it."”
Lu Yue walked forward. When the giant python saw its master, it rubbed its head against its leg. The Miao girl was too familiar with this action. The python submitted to Lu Yue. Everyone could tell that there should be no danger, but everyone was very suspicious. The giant python straightened its body and slowly led the way to the other end of the passage.
" What's going on?" Old Wang asked.
Lu Yue said," These are guardian pythons. Their duty is to protect this place for generations. It didn't know how many generations it was.”
Everyone felt extremely strange when they heard her words. "Did it tell you all this?"
Lu Yue said helplessly under everyone's suspicious gazes," I can understand what it means.”
The Miao girl suddenly asked," Why did it submit to you? What did you use to control it?"
Lu Yue said honestly,"I don't know." I'm not controlling it."
Miao Nu denied it immediately." Impossible. If we don't control the python, it won't be tamed.”
Lu Yue could only remain silent because she had nothing to say.
After following the python for a while, they arrived at a wide stone room. When the python stopped, everyone stopped as well.
The python looked at Lu Yue and shook its head. Lu Yue said not to wander around and to follow its tail.
Everyone knew that there must be a trap. Following the python through the stone room, everyone was once again shocked speechless.
Gemstones were nothing. All kinds of gemstones were like sand on the beach. There were thumb-sized and fist-sized gemstones everywhere.
Pearls the size of pigeon eggs were nothing. There were boxes full of egg-sized pearls.
Gold was nothing. Large pieces of gold were piled up all the way to the top of the cave.
Jade was nothing. Jadeite and flawless white jade were enough to fill a huge wooden barrel.
There were also countless golden and jade Buddhas…and also well-preserved ancient books. Luoba had already started chanting the prayer scripture to the ancient scripture.
The Miao girl did not look at the gold, silver, and jewelry. She carefully searched for what she wanted.
She found a strange place. All the treasures were placed very casually. Perhaps this place was originally very safe, but there was an inconspicuous stone handle on the wall of the cave. It should be used to open the secret door. What was worth hiding like this? It looked more precious than anything else here.
The Miao girl reached out to touch the stone handle, but the python rushed up and blocked it with its upright body. Lu Yue hurried over, and the python moved aside. Lu Yue went to pull the handle. There was really a secret door, but it was very small. There was only a compartment the size of a dressing box. There was only a small ebony box in the compartment.
The Miao girl's eyes lit up when she saw this. She wanted to snatch it immediately.
Everyone had come over. Luoba was also looking forward to it. Lu Yue had seen this ebony box before. It was in the big ebony box that Huo Jiakai had found. The red crystal that he wore on his chest was hidden inside. Could there be another red crystal stone in this box?
"Hurry up and open it. Don't dawdle." The Miao girl urged.
Lu Yue opened the ebony box. Everyone's eyes were focused on it. Then, they revealed an incredulous expression. The box was empty.
Write every word seriously, as if the whole world is watching
