Chapter 38: Treasure Hunt in the Secret Cave
Wen Yu touched the bracelet on one hand, feeling a little embarrassed: "Junior Sister, I have never worn such beautiful jewelry before. It's too expensive!"
Ye Qingyan pursed her lips, a charming smile blooming on her face. She said in a gentle voice: "As long as Senior Sister likes it!"
The two chatted happily...
…………
Leng Jiuyuan sat in the carriage, feeling happy: Xiaoqi, you will never escape from the palm of my hand!
The carriage drove towards the capital...
An San came to the branch of the Seven Killing Palace to find Feng Yi.
Feng Yi was surprised when he saw An San arrive. "An San, why are you here? How is the master?"
An San said seriously: "Master, you are fine. I have told the steward, please pack up and follow me.
The master assigns you a task. You have to sneak into Qingyang Sect to protect a woman named Ye Qingyan, also known as the divine fortune teller Xiaoqi.
Her medical skills are very impressive. She cured the master's poison, and the master is very fond of her."
Feng Yi was a little puzzled: "Everyone in Qingyang Sect knows martial arts, does she still need others to protect her?"
An San shook his head helplessly: "Rather than protecting her, it's better to say that you are the master's spy by her side.
If you see anything, pretend that your eyesight is poor; if you hear anything, pretend that you are deaf.
Be careful when replying to your master, otherwise you will be thrown back to the secret guard training camp for retraining.
Also, you must be cautious in what you do, and not reveal any flaws that would ruin your master's good deeds. Think about how you are going to sneak into the Qingyang Sect!"
The two began to discuss...
On this day, the weather was beautiful and Ye Qingyan went for a stroll in the back mountain alone. She wanted to explore the surrounding environment.
See where benches need to be placed for tourists to rest; where some entertainment facilities are suitable for people to have fun.
After the inspection, a little white fox suddenly ran over. The fox was snow-white all over, without a single stray hair on its body, and its eyes were shining. It was obvious that it was a smart fox.
Ye Qingyan immediately became interested and muttered, "Little white fox, be good and don't move. Follow me and you'll have meat to eat!"
She began to approach the little white fox step by step. When the little white fox saw someone trying to catch her, it ran forward.
Although he was running, he stopped and started, as if he was deliberately leading Ye Qingyan to a place.
Ye Qingyan thought that it would be boring in the mountains, and it would be nice to have such a beautiful little white fox to play with her, so she kept chasing it.
As I was chasing, I unknowingly passed by a stone tablet with four large black characters engraved on it: "Secret Realm in the Back Mountain".
The little white fox continued to run forward, and Ye Qingyan chased after it.
At this moment, a blank stone tablet suddenly appeared in front of him, and the little white fox stood in front of the stone tablet without moving.
Ye Qingyan took a look and asked, "Little White Fox, do you want to bring me here?"
The little white fox seemed to understand human language, nodded, then stood up and tried to rotate the stone tablet with its two paws.
Ye Qingyan frowned, "You want me to turn the stone tablet? You won't trick me, will you?"
The little white fox nodded, then shook his head and ran to the side to watch.
Ye Qingyan's first reaction was that there was a mechanism here.
She came to the stone tablet and began to turn it according to the instructions of the little white fox.
The ground suddenly shook, and the mountain in front also began to shake violently. Two doors appeared in front of the mountain, and the doors were covered with dirt and weeds.
There is a small hole above the door, which is about the size of a fist.
Ye Qingyan began to talk to herself: "I seem to have seen this shape somewhere."
She suddenly remembered that she had taken a small Taotie from the Sutra Library. She thought it was very cute at the time, so she took it home as a toy.
As soon as she stretched out her hand, the little Taotie appeared in her hand.
She looked at the small hole again, took a few steps forward, and placed the little Taotie directly into the hole.
Suddenly, the two doors made a heavy sound, then opened, and Ye Qingyan took out the little Taotie.
The little white fox rushed in and Ye Qingyan also walked in.
The door creaked shut.
When we got inside the cave, it was pitch black.
Ye Qingyan took out a searchlight from the space.
There were many boxes on the ground. She opened one of them and found it was full of gold ingots, sparkling under the light.
She opened another box, and there were still gold ingots inside.
She was completely stunned: "Fuck, the Qingyang Sect is guarding a mountain of gold and they don't even know it. They are so poor that they are almost selling everything they have."
She shone the searchlight around.
In the middle of the cave, there are four statues, with tablets in front of them and two boxes under each tablet.
The statues were covered with a thick layer of dust.
She came closer and looked at the first tablet, which read "Master Puye, the first generation leader of Qingyang Sect."
She looked at the other tablets, on which were written: the second generation leader of Qingyang Sect, Master Wuchen, the third generation leader, Master Yuanqing, and the fourth generation leader, Master Xuanzhen.
Ye Qingyan suddenly understood why there was no fifth generation ancestor.
The Great Elder said that the fifth generation sect leader, Master Kongkong, died of a sudden illness in the Sutra Repository, and the little Taotie should be his.
Everyone who went to the Sutra Library thought that the little Taotie was an inconspicuous ruler, but they didn't know that it was the key to open the secret cave.
The secret realm is a forbidden area of Qingyang Sect. Disciples are not allowed to go there according to the rules of the past generations. Even if they come, it is useless because the cave door cannot be opened.
The treasures in this cave should have been passed down orally from the old sect leader to the next one.
As a result, the fifth generation leader died before he could pass on the throne.
The Great Elder said that since the founding of Qingyang Sect, the first five generations were the leaders of all major sects and were quite glorious. All the buildings were also built at that time.
Later, each generation became worse than the previous one, and now it has reached the bottom of the sect list.
She began to mutter to herself, “I guess even the Nameless Patriarch and Master don’t know about this secret cave.”
She came before the first ancestor and knelt down devoutly: "I am Ye Qingyan, the eighteenth generation disciple of Qingyang Sect. I accidentally entered here today and disturbed the quiet cultivation of all the seniors. I kowtow to you all.
The Qingyang Sect has fallen on hard times and is almost starving to death. I will use these treasures to prevent the sect members from starving to death."
After saying this, he kowtowed three times to each of the ancestors.
She waved her hand and the boxes on the ground disappeared.
She came to the tablet of Master Puye and opened a box, which was full of martial arts secrets.
There are "Teleportation Technique", "Inviting the Moon Light Kung Fu", "Demon Sword to Kill Immortals", etc.
The other box was slightly larger, and inside it was a Demon-Slaying Sword engraved with ancient runes, a Wind-Thunder Whip, and other items.
Ye Qingyan picked up the sword and drew it out of its sheath.
The sword body is made of black iron, as thin as a cicada's wing, extremely sharp, and emitting a faint cold light. It is engraved with "The Sword of the Demon Slayer".
A wild purple lotus is engraved on the hilt of the sword.
Ye Qingyan curled the corners of her mouth and said, "Good sword!" Then she put it back into the box.
She picked up "The Art of Teleportation," sat on the ground, and read it carefully...
