Chapter 16 Deep in the Cave

Lu Zhicheng's face turned slightly red, knowing that his junior sister was smart and could not make things boring, so he hurriedly avoided the topic and said, "Junior sister, I heard that this cave is very secretive and has many mechanisms inside. You and Mr. Le are still waiting outside the cave. You don't have to go in with us to take risks."

Le Yiyang originally wanted to go in and see Lu Zhicheng's eyes. When he saw that Lu Zhicheng said this, he was unwilling to accept it. He stepped forward and said, "I have a narrow understanding in Taiyuan. Now that I have come to Central Plains, I originally wanted to open my eyes. If I could enter this Miyun Cave to find out today, it would be a lot of insights."

When Ji Yun heard the conversation between the two, he thought to himself: "I have been in Youyun Villa for more than ten years. I have only heard of the name of Miyun Cave. I have never seen it in it. Since so many people in the world are going to risk their lives to go in, I believe there must be no secrets inside. Today, the master and the senior brother are there, and Mr. Le are by their side. Even if there is any danger, the master and the others will try their best to rescue him. The opportunity must not be lost, and if you don't go in today, it will be difficult to go in in the future." Thinking of this, she said reluctantly, "You have all gone in, and it's not interesting to stay outside the cave alone. Why don't you take me with you and your master. Good senior brother, how about it?"

Lu Zhicheng wanted to protect his junior sister, but he knew that she had always been stubborn. Now she wanted to go in with her. If she didn't agree to her, she wouldn't give up easily. Besides, there was no one outside the Miyun Cave. If she encountered a wild beast or a scum who did evil martial arts, the junior sister would not be able to fight it. This would leave her alone in a dangerous place. However, the Miyun Cave was not known in depth, and there were hidden weapons left by her predecessors. If she was not careful, she would die in the cave. While he was hesitating, Xian Yunhuan said: "Since Mr. Le and Yun'er wanted to go in, let the servants in the village stay here. If there was any accident, they could serve as our support."

When Lai Jiyun heard the master's words, he knew that his senior brother did not dare to disobey his master's order. He was filled with joy and said coquettishly: "Thank you, Master and Senior Brother for your success." Lu Zhicheng had no choice but to explain his way out to the servants around him, and then took the three of them into the cave.

The Miyun Cave was in a barren mountain, and the road inside was as twisty as the road just now. Lu Zhicheng and others entered the cave gate and found that there was only one crevicle inside. The crevicle was less than one foot wide and could just allow a person to move in sideways. Lu Zhicheng walked in the front and carefully used the sword in his hand to inquire both sides of the crevicle, worried that hidden weapons would come. Xian Yunhuan, Lai Ji Yun and Le Yiyang, then his face almost fell on the wall of the cave. Le Yiyang walked carefully while thinking in his heart: "I don't know who built this mysterious cave. It must have taken a lot of effort to dig this steep road. What secret is hidden inside?"

Everyone walked about fifty or sixty meters before they reached the open place inside. Looking at the empty flat ground in front of them, Le Yiyang sighed: "The entrance to the Miyun Cave is so gentle, just like its name, but there is another scene inside. If the people who come across an emergency here, it is not an easy thing to escape from the cave immediately."

Lu Zhicheng nodded and said, "It's true. In recent years, there are countless heroes who have come in secret. As far as we know, only a very small number of people can go out alive. So everyone should be extra careful." He also said to Lai Ji Yun: "Junior sister, you and Mr. Le can take care of each other when you walk together."

Lai Ji Yun responded, smiled at Le Yiyang, then turned around and looked at the silent cave, and a hint of chill flashed through his heart.

Everyone looked carefully in the cave for a while and confirmed that there was no danger before they dared to continue walking forward. After only a dozen steps, they came to a pool. The pool was about twenty or thirty meters wide from the opposite bank, and a layer of faint white mist was covered on the water surface. The scattered stone slabs could be seen vaguely on the water surface, each stone slab was about five or six feet apart. Looking along the stone slabs, you could see a giant door opposite. Except for the pool in front of you, there was no other road leading to the opposite bank.

Le Yiyang looked at the other side, constantly searching for ways to cross the pool. Suddenly, she saw Lai Ji Yun beside her that had already walked to the edge of the pool. She was about to step onto the stone slab. Le Yiyang hurriedly called out: "Miss Lai, please stay, it seems something strange here." Lai Ji Yun was about to stretch out his legs, but then he all shrank back, turned around and looked at Le Yiyang with a puzzled expression on his face.

Lu Zhicheng and Xian Yunhuan were looking for hidden weapons on the side of the mechanism. At this time, they both heard Le Yiyang's words and walked to the two of them. Le Yiyang said: "Leader Xian, Mr. Lu, I wonder if you have discovered that the water quality here is different from the outside world?"

Lu Zhicheng looked at the pool in front of him and shook his head and said, "The same water, is the water here different from the water in other places in my village?" Of course, there is no shortage of water in Youyun Villa. Huijing Lake is in the villa. Miyun Cave and Huijing Lake are not far away. There should be no big difference in the waters of the two places. Lu Zhicheng has never entered Miyun Cave, and now they are all speculations.

After hearing his words, Le Yiyang said calmly, "Along the way, I have been thinking about why this place is called Miyun Cave? Where did the people who came before go? I finally have some clues." Lai Ji Yun walked to Le Yiyang at this time and said with a smile: "Young Master Le, what's going on?"

Le Yiyang did not answer her words immediately, walked up to the pool, picked up a stone the size of a palm on the ground, and threw it into the pool with force. He only heard a stream of heat coming from the lake, but he did not hear the sound of the stone falling into the water.

Everyone was surprised to see this. Le Yiyang explained: "This should be the legendary bone-soluble pool. The water in the bone-soluble pool is more than a hundred feet deep, and ordinary objects will melt when they enter. This is because the water in the pool is extremely hot. The heat in the water covers the pool, covering the earth like a dense cloud, so this is called."

After hearing Le Yiyang's words, Lu Zhicheng suddenly realized and said, "Young Master Le is very true. Now I finally understand. The person who trespassed into the Miyun Cave before may be buried here, so we came in without seeing any traces of the corpse." Le Yiyang pointed to the other side and said, "It's not entirely true, Mr. Lu, I don't know how many skeletons are hidden behind the door."

After hearing this, Xian Yunhuan sighed: "No matter what, it is a pity that the good seven-foot skin bag ends up at the bottom of Zangsheng's cave. What treasure is there in this cave that makes people in the world go on and on, regardless of life or death."

Lu Zhicheng said: "The disciple has been trying to figure out this matter for many years. Even if he loses his life today, he still needs to find out. However, the urgent problem now is how to cross this pool. I wonder if the stone slabs here can still bear our weight."

Le Yiyang thought to himself: "Since he has come in, he must not return without success." At this time, he remembered the rope he carried with him and said: "Everyone, there is a way to fall down. I wonder if I can try it?" Everyone was worried that there was no way to go. When they heard his words, the anxious face on their faces was slightly relieved. While speaking, Le Yiyang had already taken out the rope behind him: "You can fix this rope on both sides of the pool and then cut it over the rope."

Xian Yunhuan said, "Although this method is wonderful, it is difficult to do it. The four of us, only Mr. Le has no martial arts skills. How can we get over it?" Lu Zhicheng understood what the master said, so he volunteered to say, "The disciple is willing to take one step first and fix the rope on the other side." Xian Yunhuan said, "The only way to do this is now. Cheng'er, you must be more careful." Lu Zhicheng said, "Master, wrap it on me at this time." After that, he took the rope from Le Yiyang's hand, carefully unfolded the long rope, tied one end of the rope to the huge rock in the hole, and then stood up.

Lu Zhicheng pulled the long rope hard and made sure to fix it firmly. He even took the rope straight to the pool. He jumped into the pool alone, and before he could land on the water, he pointed to the stone slab with the sword in his hand. Then he jumped up again and saw the stone slab slowly sinking. In just a few rounds and turns, Lu Zhicheng arrived at the other side safely. Looking at the water surface, the stones had already sank into the water one after another, and in the end there were only seven or eight.

When Lai Jiyun saw this scene, he said thoughtfully, "I think there were many stones in this pool before, and they were all stepped into the water by others." Le Yiyang said with a smile: "Miss Lai, a person as skilled as your senior brother, will naturally not be able to defeat him." During the conversation between the two, Xian Yunhuan also jumped into the pool, stepped on a stone slab on the water surface, and then jumped up, and arrived at the other side. He didn't touch a long rope throughout the whole process.

Le Yiyang and Lai Jiyun were both amazed. They carefully slashed the pool along the rope.

Seeing that everyone came over safely, Lu Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thanks to Mr. Le reminded me that those stone slabs were floating on the water. If you don't pay attention and step on them rashly, you will even have a burial pool, and you don't even have time to have luck." Le Yiyang replied, "These are all talks about by the elders when they were in Daizhou before, but I didn't expect to meet them here today. Zhongyuan is really amazing."

Xian Yunhuan looked around and said, "The yin energy here is so irritating that we can't stay for a long time. We'd better finish the work early and leave quickly."

Everyone agreed with him and walked towards the Jumen. After approaching, they realized that the door was made of green iron. Although it had no key, it was extremely strong. Lu Zhicheng touched the iron gate with his hand and said helplessly: "For such a strong iron gate, it seems that Qingyun Xuankong Sword is powerless." Xian Yunhuan looked around the iron gate and said calmly: "Cheng'er, don't be depressed. I think there must be an open mechanism when this door is built. Let's search carefully around the door."

Le Yiyang walked forward and looked at the iron gate carefully. Suddenly, he found a small hole in the rock beside the iron gate, and said, "Leader Xian, if it is not as expected by your old man, the Iron Gate mechanism is here, but I don't know where the key of this mechanism is now." Xian Yunhuan said, "Everyone is looking around to see if there is any on the ground."

So the four of them searched near the iron gate for a while, but found nothing. Le Yiyang said to himself, "Is the key not in the cave?" After hearing this, Lai Ji Yun said, "If it is not in the cave, why do this mechanism do? No one can open it anyway." Le Yiyang was about to answer, but heard Lu Zhicheng say calmly: "Junior sister, there is always someone who can open it. Who is it?"
