Xiang Tian spent a few days in the cave. During this time, the old monk often came to visit him and brought him food and water. Xiang Tian gradually felt grateful to the old monk. At the same time, he was curious about this mysterious cave and the old monk.
One night, when Xiang Tian was lying in the cave and preparing to sleep, he suddenly heard some sounds. He felt that something was wrong and quietly walked out of the cave, looking towards the source of the sound. Not far away, he saw a few armored soldiers searching for something. They even had the royal seal on their bodies.
Xiang Tian didn't dare to show up, so he hid behind a big rock and watched them. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice."" Xiangtian." It was the old monk. He looked exhausted and haggard.
Xiang Tian rushed out and asked the old monk what had happened. The old monk told him that ever since he brought Xiang Tian into the cave, the royal family had been looking for them. Some time ago, they were captured in a temple at the foot of the mountain. Some of them were arrested to protect Xiang Tian. The old monk revealed that the royal family was not hunting Xiang Tian because of him, but because he had a magical item that could make people immortal.
Xiang Tian was shocked. He had never heard of such a legend. The old monk told him that such magical objects would only appear in extremely remote places, and this cave was one of them. He said that he had obtained this cave from his senior. It was said that the entrance could only be found at a specific time and place. At the same time, one had to have a sincere heart to enter.
Xiang Tian was very surprised and curious. He was filled with yearning for the mysterious identity of the old monk and this cave. The old monk said that they had to leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, once they were discovered by the imperial family, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thus, Xiang Tian and the old monk packed their luggage and began their journey.
They took a detour and followed the direction the old monk pointed to. They finally found the stone door. He groped along the stone wall, trying to find a way to open the door, but everything seemed so tricky. Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from behind him. He turned around in fright, only to find that it was the old monk.
The old monk frowned and said,"They are already here. We have to go."”He took Xiang Tian's hand and decided to take him out of the cave. He walked to a stone wall and pushed it hard. The wall actually tilted inward, revealing a narrow passage.
The old monk said to the sky,"This passage leads to a secret path. We can leave this place through it."”Then, he pulled Xiang Tian and quietly walked into the passage.
This secret passage was very long, and it was winding along the way. Xiang Tian even felt dizzy. However, the old monk's comfort made him feel a trace of warmth. He knew that he finally had a chance.
At the end of the passage, they finally reached a cave. There was a lamp in the cave. The flickering light illuminated the entire cave. It was a small space with some simple furniture and daily necessities.
The old monk told Xiang Tian that this was their temporary residence. They could rest here for a while. Xiang Tian's feet were already worn out. He sat beside a small wooden table and panted. The old monk poured him a cup of tea and said,""These are the tea leaves I picked on the mountain.”
Xiang Tian took a sip and felt the fragrance of the tea assail his nose. A warm current slid down his throat and warmed his heart. He suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen this old monk somewhere before.
The old monk looked at Xiang Tian and said,"Child, I know you have a lot of questions, but now is not the time." We have to leave this place as soon as possible, or else it will be dangerous.”
Xiang Tian looked at the old monk's expression and knew that the old monk must know his identity, but he did not know why the old monk would help him.
Xiang Tian felt as if he was in another world. He had spent three days and three nights in the cave and did not know what had happened in the outside world. He was afraid of being discovered and worried about the safety of his father and sister.
Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, a strong fragrance wafted over. Xiang Tian could smell it. He walked out of the cave and saw a man in a loose robe praying to a plate of incense offerings. The old man saw Xiang Tian and walked towards him with a smile, asking him why he was hiding in the cave.
When Xiang Tian looked carefully, he saw that it was the old monk who had saved him. Xiang Tian did not dare to hide his identity. He told the old man that he was a wanted person and was currently on the run. When the old man heard this, he did not show any surprise. Instead, he smiled indifferently."Child, don't worry. It's fate that you came to find me.”
This old man was called Li Daoming, a famous Taoist priest. He told Xiang Tian that he already knew his identity and experience, and he also knew the safety of his father and sister. Hearing this news, Xiang Tian was overjoyed. He felt like he had seen hope.
Li Daoming told Xiang Tian that they were now in an ancient mysterious mountain range. There were many hidden caves and ruins here. He said that they could hide from the pursuit of the royal family here. At the same time, they could explore these mysterious ruins and find the power to resist the royal family.
Hearing this plan, Xiang Tian was extremely excited. He felt that he finally had a purpose. He decided to follow Li Daoming's footsteps and search for the mysterious power to fight for the fate of himself and his family.
This plan was filled with unknown risks and challenges, but Xiang Tian's conviction told him that he had to walk on bravely and face everything in the future.
Xiang Tian felt an inexplicable sadness surge into his heart. He had been wandering the world alone and had no one to rely on. He had always been suspicious of his own background. Now that he heard the old man say such words, he was even more confused.
"What do you mean?" Xiang Tian asked doubtfully.
The old man smiled and did not answer his question. She looked up into the distance and said,"There are some things in this world that cannot be explained. Some secrets can only be revealed when the time comes. However, believe in yourself and believe in fate. Your chance will appear when you least expect it.”
Xiang Tian's eyes widened. He felt like he understood the old man's words, but he didn't quite understand. A thought appeared in his mind. He decided to follow the old man to find the answer.
He followed the old man out of the cave. Along the way, the old man introduced him to a lot of knowledge about cultivation and martial arts. The old man told him that as long as he had confidence and perseverance, anyone could become an outstanding martial artist.
They headed east, passing through the vast desert, crossing steep mountains, and finally arrived in front of an ancient temple.
The temple was built on the top of a tall mountain. It was deserted and the air was filled with a mysterious aura. Xiang Tian could feel his body trembling uncontrollably.
"What is this place?" he asked.
The old man smiled mysteriously and didn't answer his question. He just let him follow him into the temple.
There was a huge stone tablet at the entrance of the temple. Ancient characters were carved on it, but Xiang Tian didn't recognize them. He followed the old man into the inner part of the temple. The atmosphere here was even more mysterious than the door. It was dark all around, and only a small amount of light seeped in through the windows.
After walking for a long time, they finally arrived in front of a huge bronze door. The old man took out a key from his sleeve and turned it gently. The door opened.
There was a spacious space inside the door. There was a stone table and a few stone chairs. On the stone table was a very old box.
