I didn't expect that I had reached the end of the cave, and the exit suddenly opened.
Life and death had changed in an instant.
It was only at this moment that I truly realized the significance of sunlight to this world.
I was ecstatic and ran out of the cave desperately, out of the demon's palm. I don't know where I got my strength from. I haven't eaten for a day and a night, carrying a heavy sword and silver on my back, and being frightened for a long time...
I thought I should have collapsed, but I didn't. I desperately panted, my eyes shining with a golden light. He turned around and found that the exit was closed.
I composed myself and looked around. Oh my god, where am I! Behind this cave was a quiet and serene place. The fragrance of flowers filled the air, the birds chirped, and a stream flowed in front of them. My heart also gently danced with the stream. I dragged my exhausted body over and squatted down to drink the stream water. I only stood up slowly when I felt my throat become moist and a long-lost energy rush to my head. I looked around and suddenly felt my eyes light up. This fairy-like valley was actually full of wild fruits and vegetables. I used the last bit of strength in my life to rush over. Regardless of whether it was poisonous or not, I plucked a few and stuffed them into my mouth. Finally, I couldn't hold on any longer and slowly fell down…
When I woke up, I was extremely happy. Firstly, it was because I was still alive. Secondly, there were many wild fruits here. I wouldn't starve to death even if I lived here for many years.
I felt hungry in my stomach, so I picked some wild fruits from beside me and chewed them in big mouthfuls. This taste was sour with sweetness, and it was very delicious. I thought, isn't this like a person's life? Although there was too much bitterness and bitterness, there was always joy and happiness mixed in, which could make a person's life interesting. If there was only one taste, only pain or only happiness, it would be dull and uninteresting. Was it not so?
Thinking of this, my confidence increased. I firmly believed that there was a surprise waiting for me ahead. Thus, I borrowed the power I had accumulated and began to explore this valley. I found that this valley was surrounded by mountains and was extremely remote. If I wanted to leave, I would have to return from the cave I came from. When I came, I found that there were many rare plants in this valley. I couldn't name them, and it was obvious that no one had cared about them for many years.
Occasionally, larks and wild tits circled above their heads. Their voices were very pleasant, accompanied by dream-like streams flowing past, playing a beautiful sound like nature, reminding people of Wang Wei's "Journey to Peach Blossom Land" in Tang Dynasty: At that time, I only remembered that I entered the deep mountains, the clear stream reached the cloud forest several times, and the spring was full of peach blossom water. I couldn't tell where to find the immortal source.
I suddenly had a thought, if I spend the rest of my life in this secluded valley, detached from worldly affairs, wouldn't it be carefree and comfortable? But at the same time, another will controlled me. I had a family feud and failed to achieve fame. Was life so unfair to me? I haven't enjoyed all the joys and sorrows of the world. If I were to live in seclusion, what's the point of coming to this world?
Under the influence of these two thoughts, I hesitated and continued to search forward.
After walking about a hundred feet, I stopped. I realized that this valley seemed to be closed and narrow, but it was extremely wide. If I continued walking like this, I would be further and further away from the cave entrance. Moreover, the terrain here was chaotic. If I got lost and couldn't find the cave I came from, I would never be able to leave.
I sat down on the spot, wanting to experience the atmosphere of this secluded valley for the last time before leaving.
At this moment, a gust of mountain wind blew past, and the sand on the ground slowly floated up. I suddenly opened my eyes wide because I seemed to have seen something. As if I had gained something, I moved the sand in front of me with my hand. Layer by layer, I finally saw clearly that under the sand was actually a piece of old-fashioned wood. On it were engraved these red words--
I carefully tried to figure out the meaning of these eight words, and "Three Shots of Floating Life" soon came up with an answer. "Three shots in a floating life" meant that a person's life was as short as the distance between three shots."All paths return to one." Whether you were rich and noble, or poor and destitute, whether you were a dignitary or a commoner beggar, no matter where you came from, you would eventually go to one place-death. The Ten Thousand Dao Return to One referred to death. If the person who left the words wanted to point out a place, then the 'Ten Thousand Dao Return to One' referred to a stele or a tomb.
When I wrote a poem on the stone wall, the cave door automatically opened. I guessed that someone had deliberately set this up to lead others to discover something. This time, I was 100% sure of my own conjecture. Looking back, the cave entrance that I came from had long disappeared from my sight. I was determined to reveal this secret, even if I could never walk out of this valley.
I looked at my steps and stepped forward. I was about to reach the place of three shots. Sure enough, a stone tablet appeared in front of me. I was extremely surprised and welcomed it. The stone tablet was as tall as a person, and there were these words carved on it-"Tomb of Lu Qinglong".
"What is it? Say it again!" At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly exclaimed. The atmosphere in the room was finally broken.
"What's wrong? You know this 'Lu Qinglong'?" Xiang Tiange asked.
Xu Xiaoxiao pouted. This Lu Qinglong is my late father's grandmaster. My late father once mentioned him to me. This person's martial arts level was rarely seen in a hundred years. Unfortunately, this person appeared and disappeared unpredictably. He lived in seclusion in the mountains and rarely showed his face in the martial arts world. He had spent his entire life studying all kinds of strange martial arts and weapons, creating many secret manuals and new methods, integrating the strengths of various sects. This person was harsh and eccentric. He only took in one disciple in his life, and that was his father's master, Yin Tianhe. My father's golden ring was passed down from Lu Qinglong to Yin Tianhe, and Yin Tianhe passed it down to my father. Senior Leng Ruiwu's was the same. However, his father did not understand the use of the gold ring until his death.”
Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up and exclaimed,""Big brother Xiang, the valley you entered must have been set up by Senior Lu. You were guided by the heavens and accidentally discovered it. It can be seen that you and Senior Lu are fated. By the way, what secret did you discover?”
Xiang Tiange nodded and said," At first, I didn't understand what was so strange about that stone tablet, so I paced back and forth around it. I noticed that there was a mark of a sword on the other side of the stele. I thought that there must be research on it. Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind. I took down the long sword behind me, the long sword that your father gave me. With a mentality of trying, I carefully pressed the long sword in my hand into the mark on the tablet.
What shocked me was that the size and shape of the two were exactly the same. At the same time, with a boom, the stone tablet slowly moved to the side, revealing an underground tunnel.
My heart was filled with amazement. I gently retrieved my sword and carefully examined the passage hidden at the bottom of the stone tablet. The faint light and the narrow steps looked more and more mysterious.”
"Yes, that must be the case!" Xu Xiaoxiao muttered to herself.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Tiange hurriedly said.
Xu Xiaoxiao stared at Xiang Tiange with bright eyes and said solemnly,""That sword was also passed down by Senior Lu. It's just that my father never knew what kind of divine power it had. He only knew that it was an ordinary weapon, so he placed it on the wall in the sect. It turned out to be the key to open the monolith door.”
"Oh, I see. It was really fate! Gang Leader Xu gave me that sword, and I happened to come to that place.”Xiang Tiange slapped her thigh and couldn't help sighing. Then, he looked at Dragonfly and Wu Sanxiu, hoping to gain their resonance. Seeing that the dragonfly was grabbing the oranges on the table and stuffing them into its mouth, he turned to look at Wu Sanxiu.
Wu Sanxiu stroked his beard and said in a clear voice,"Speaking of Lu Qinglong, I'll interrupt for a moment. This person's behavior was strange, and it was said that he had never fought with anyone in his life. However, those who knew a little about him in the Jianghu said that his martial arts were unfathomable. It was said that this person lived in seclusion near Pingding Mountain in Henan Province. I've never heard of him taking in a disciple before, and I didn't know that his disciple was Sect Leader Xu Yu's master. He only knew that this person was self-proclaimed and called himself 'Scholar Tian Xi'. Presumably, anyone who could be chosen as his disciple must be extraordinary! " Otherwise..." Wu Sanxiu suddenly stopped when he saw Xiang Tiange's surprised expression and grave gaze."Hero Xiang!"
Xiang Tiange was shocked and asked anxiously,"Senior, what did you say Lu Qinglong called himself?"”
"Scholar Tian Xi."
"Yeah!" Xiang Tiange's smile blossomed and she glanced at the three of them." Do you still remember the poem I wrote on the stone wall?”
The three of them nodded and looked at him in confusion.
"The reason why I was able to open the stone door was because of his secret signal.”Xiang Tiange said.
