Chapter 162 The Cave Opens

The rumbling sound lasted for about half an hour. The twelve people who were going to enter the ancient cave this time stood at the door of the stone chamber on the west side of the valley with different expressions, looking at the center of the valley.

After the rumbling sound stopped, the center of the valley had been cracked from all sides, and a square foundation stone was slowly rising from the ground. In the floating dust, Wu Yan noticed that the foundation stone was made of some kind of stone. The color was dark green, vicissitudes and simplicity, and there were countless mottled marks on it. It was unknown whether it was chopped by magic tools or natural.

The strange foundation stone was rising slowly, and it was unknown when it would stop. Among the crowd, the three people, Bai Du San Ren, Liu Ye Fei, and Bai Mei Gong, all looked confused at this moment, and obviously did not know the layout here. Wu Yan looked deeply at the rising foundation stone. The foundation stone was square, and the length and width were about twenty feet. According to the information provided by Senior Brother Mo Ao, when the foundation stone stops rising, four stone caves of about ten feet in diameter should appear on the four sides of the foundation stone. The stone cave is a door leading to the Four Symbols Seven Stars Stone Array Gate.

However, among the Four Symbols Seven Stars Stone Array Gate, only the White Tiger Seven Stars Stone Array Gate was broken, and you can enter the cave below through this passage. The other three stone caves, even if they can lead to other Seven Stars Stone Array Gates, are useless.

"Daoyou Duomu, seeing that the door of this cave has been opened, you have not yet explained the specific situation below to us. It's not that I am suspicious. If we encounter some troubles below, I don't know how we can resolve them." An old man with white eyebrows and beard, leaning on a Panlong crutch in his hand, bowed to the old Taoist Duomu, with a look of dissatisfaction in his expression.

"Yes, Taoist Duomu, I was invited here, but I don't know the situation here at all. How dare I go down later?" Liu Yefei of Qianhuan Sect also raised doubts.

"Daoyou Duomu, I also find it strange. Why didn't you reveal any information about this cave to us before? What is your intention?" What surprised Wu Yan was that the old woman, Madam Jing, who was analyzed by his senior brother as a possible disciple of the demon house, also stood up to question. On the contrary, the Hundred Poisons Pagan stood aside with a blank expression, saying nothing, and no one knew what he was planning.

The rest of the people, except for Boss Hu and Xiu Yuan, also echoed. Wu Yan and Mo Ao looked at each other and felt very strange. Before, everyone was waiting quietly in the stone chambers of the cave on all four sides, and many people had asked Duomu Laodao about the specific circumstances of this trip. However, Duomu Laodao always made excuses and did not answer. Now it is the critical moment of entering the cave. If he still doesn't say anything, I'm afraid some people will back down.

"My fellow Taoists, it's not that I'm hiding this from you. Actually, I've only been down there once, and I only remember the passageway, but I don't know the mystery. Even if I tell you, it's probably useless. However, you can rest assured. Just follow me, don't barge in randomly, and don't touch the things inside. You'll be fine. We'll go directly to the Green Ox Tomb inside the cave, dig it up, take the things inside and leave. You'll be fine." Seeing that everyone was questioning, the old Taoist Duomu seemed unable to withstand the pressure, and explained to everyone helplessly.

His reason was too far-fetched, and several people showed dissatisfaction. Even the White Eyebrowed Man, who spoke first, paused the Panlong Cane in his hand and was about to leave angrily.

Wu Yan noticed that when Hu Lao Da and Xiu Yuan heard that the White Eyebrowed Man said he was leaving, their faces changed, as if they were about to do something, but they were stopped by the old Taoist Duomu with a look.

"Haha, if fellow Daoist Baimei doesn't want to go down, I naturally dare not stop you. However, I have already set up several forbidden arrays in and outside the valley. I think I have quite some experience in forbidden arrays. Without my guidance, even the senior masters in the Jindan stage may not be able to get out of these forbidden arrays easily. In order to prevent accidents, I have to ask fellow Daoist Baimei to wait outside for a while. After I and others dig up the Qingniu Tomb and take the things left by the Qingniu Immortal, I will send fellow Daoist Baimei away, and I will also give you a lot of spiritual stones as compensation for your wasted trip. What do you think?"

"You... well, it's not that I don't believe fellow Daoist Duomu, but I don't even know the specific situation of the place I'm going to. I'm worried about it, haha..." Baimei Gong moved his long eyebrows, laughed dryly, and said no more.

After he made such a fuss, no one paid attention to the terrain below, and many people showed expressions of excitement. If it was just speculation before, then now that Taoist Master Duomu said this, everyone was thinking that maybe there really was some treasure left by Qingniu Zhenren hidden in the Qingniu Tomb below.

Who is Qingniu Zhenren? He was a great cultivator in the God Transformation Stage who was feared by the entire Great Zhou Xiuxian World more than a thousand years ago, and he was the only great cultivator in the God Transformation Stage who successfully ascended to heaven in the past thousand years.

Everyone knows that when a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage ascends to heaven, he will definitely leave some things that cannot be taken to the upper world in the lower world, find a place to hide them, and leave them to the predestined people in the lower world.

Qingniu Beast was the favorite spirit beast of Qingniu Zhenren before he ascended to heaven. He died here to help Qingniu Zhenren pass the calamity and ascend to heaven. Qingniu Zhenren finally ascended successfully, and he must have buried his spirit beast remains properly. It is normal to place some things in it.

Thinking of the chance to get the treasure left by the great cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage, everyone didn't care about anything else. They all became excited and eager to try.

Wu Yan and Mo Ao looked at each other and saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes. This Duomu Taoist priest was indeed not simple. With just a few words, he made this group of people forget the danger of breaking into the ancient cave below. The two brothers who were familiar with the terrain below knew the strangeness inside.

There were many strange things in the underground cave. Although the entire cave seemed to be abandoned, there were several places that were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. If you don't pay attention, you may still encounter unknown dangers.

If Wu Yan hadn't eavesdropped on the conversation between Duomu Taoist priest, Hu Lao Da and Xiu Yuan, he might not know whether this Duomu Taoist priest would do something weird.

You know, since the demon palace discovered this underground cave more than ten years ago, and also discovered the damaged ancient teleportation array in the underground cave, and has been studying how to repair it for more than ten years, then this underground cave must have been occupied by the demon palace disciples and turned into a long-term secret base. How could there be no one inside?

This time, I don’t know if the demon palace disciples have re-arranged some powerful forbidden array inside. If I am not careful at all times, I may lose my life inexplicably.
