Chapter 209 Is this an illusion?
Shui Lian'er understood and didn't ask any more questions.
But Baicao Valley is so big, and their sect, together with the disciples of the Jishen Sect, has only about forty people in total. Let alone two days, even if it takes twenty days, they may not be able to find the reincarnation grass.
It would be nice if there was some guidance...
Just as she was thinking about it, Shui Lian'er bent down and searched in the bushes while walking forward aimlessly.
Jiang Liqian frowned slightly when she saw her like this. Just as she was about to remind her that the terrain in Baicao Valley was complicated and she should be careful, Shui Lian'er disappeared with a "plop".
After being stunned for a second, she immediately stepped forward.
Qin Beiyao had already pounced on her, but the next second, he disappeared from her sight.
Ye Anan and she hurried over.
Only then did they discover that in the dense bushes, there was a bottomless pit with no visible bottom, and the entrance was just big enough for one person to pass through.
"Shui Lian'er, Qin Beiyao!" Ye Anan tried calling their names.
Jiang Liqian carefully observed the situation inside the cave, then tore off two strips of gauze that isolated the poisonous miasma from the plants and wrapped them around her hands.
Then, he grabbed the climbing vines at the entrance of the cave and prepared to jump down.
"What are you going to do?" Ye Anan held her back.
"I've used up all the wind-controlling talismans I brought. This is the only way to save them."
Ye Anan was a little angry. She took out two wind-controlling talismans from her storage bag and gave one to her.
"You don't have any, but I do, exactly two."
Jiang Liqian opened her mouth, stuffed the wind-controlling talisman she gave her into her sleeve, and as usual, pulled the vine and went into the cave.
Ye Anan wanted to follow, but she stopped him.
"We need someone to guard the cave entrance just in case. I'll just go down."
Ye Anan was so angry that she kicked the stone next to her.
She did it on purpose. Why wasn't she guarding the entrance to the cave and letting her go down?
Perhaps the people inside the cave heard the sound of her kicking the stone, but after a moment of silence, they explained to her, "We don't know how deep this cave is. The Wind Control Talisman has exhausted its spiritual power and may not even reach the bottom, so it's useless."
Ye Anan became even more angry.
Is this what made her angry?
But Jiang Liqian was used to being the first to charge into battle no matter what happened. She had no idea what Ye Anan was thinking. After explaining, she thought the other party should understand, so she quickened her pace and climbed down the vines.
She fell very quickly, and if the thin gauze dress had not been protected by her spiritual power, it would have been torn.
Even so, it took Jiang Liqian about half an hour to get down into this bottomless pit.
Unlike the cave entrance, the space inside the cave is very large. Although it has reached the bottom, this deep cave does not end. The dark cave entrance seems to be connected to somewhere else.
They clearly came down one after the other, but Jiang Liqian looked around but couldn't find Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao.
She looked at the cave that led to nowhere and immediately decided to go in and look for them.
Before going in, she used her spiritual power to conjure up a purple paper crane, which flew towards the cave entrance above to inform Ye Anan of the situation below.
Then she summoned the Soul-Suppressing Pearl, lighting up the room while being on full alert.
Ye Anan, who was guarding the cave entrance, received the paper crane from Jiang Liqian, and a flash of worry flashed in her eyes. She wanted to go down and look for Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao with her, but if the cave entrance was attacked from both sides, it would be a disaster...
Just as he was hesitating about what to do, a rustling sound suddenly came from behind. Ye Anan turned around vigilantly and drew his sword.
Seeing something "whoosh" rushing past in the grass ahead, she subconsciously chased it. When she realized something was wrong and wanted to turn back, a bottomless hole suddenly appeared on the ground under her feet.
Caught off guard, she didn't even have time to summon the little phoenix before she fell down.
At the same time, other disciples also accidentally fell into the bottomless pit for various reasons.
Gu Chengxue was the first to notice something was wrong. Just as he was about to remind his teammates to get on the aircraft, his companions disappeared one after another. In desperation, he could only take the initiative to enter the cave to chase them.
Yun Ruyi stepped into the cave entrance, then reacted very quickly and escaped. However, seeing that her fellow disciples were missing, she had no choice but to go back the same way to look for them.
The huge group of people entered the valley and disappeared in less than an hour.
-
The depth of the cave was beyond Jiang Liqian's imagination. She walked inside for a long time but still couldn't see where the exit was. What was even more strange was that the Zhenling Pearl was an object that could drive away evil spirits and filth. The light it emitted was enough to illuminate the surrounding area ten feet away, but in this cave, she could only barely see the road within the distance of one foot.
There is weirdness.
She stopped and input more spiritual power into the Zhenling Pearl.
The light of the Zhenling Pearl brightened, allowing her to see the stone wall of the cave.
The stone wall is not marked with traces of potholes and holes, but is engraved with murals.
She approached the stone wall and looked carefully at the murals, and found that they all told the same story.
Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs.
Legend has it that Shennong climbed the Jianmu tree for the benefit of the people of the world, entered the Yaochi Lake, took the Yao grass, obtained the magic whip, tasted all kinds of herbs, and wrote the "Shennong Herbal Classic" to leave behind. Later, he died a martyrdom after accidentally tasting the Gelsemium elegans, and was revered as the God of Medicine by the people.
Ancient legends are vague and difficult to determine whether they are true or false. What is the meaning of these murals being carved here?
Jiang Li frowned slightly and looked at the mural again.
Suddenly, she discovered that the carvings on the five images of Jianmu, Yaocao, Shenbian, Baicao Jing and Duanchangcao were particularly heavy, as if they were deliberately reminding her of something.
She raised her hand and tried to place it on Jianmu.
The next moment, the stone wall trembled violently, a green light flashed, and a fan-shaped door appeared on the stone wall.
Jiang Liqian reached out, pushed the door open and walked in.
Large patches of dazzling white light flashed before her eyes, and she found herself stepping into a door and coming to a suspension bridge made of wood and vines. On both sides were towering mountains, and under her feet was a bottomless abyss.
At the end of the bridge is the highest point of the mountain, leading straight into the sea of clouds.
Is this an illusion?
Speculations flashed through her mind.
The suspension bridge was very unstable at high altitude. Even a slight breeze could cause it to swing violently, as if it could shake her into the abyss below at any time.
Jiang Liqian pursed her lips slightly, held the Soul-Suppressing Pearl, and walked firmly towards the sea of clouds in the distance.
Since there is no way out, she is not afraid.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to hear a voice every time she took a step.
There are second junior brother Xuan Ling, third junior brother Jiang Huaizhou, fourth junior brother Meng Jiuan, fifth junior brother Yun Qingyan, and she can also hear the voice of youngest junior sister Shen Qingqing.
She was shouting.
Senior sister, wait for me.
Senior Sister, it hurts so much.
Senior sister, please look back at me. I can’t walk anymore. Can you carry me on your back?
