The two began to prepare to go deep into the cave.
Monks have a high psychological endurance for such adventures. They know very well that no opportunity can be easily obtained and is there for you to take. The process is always bumpy.
It's just one of many hardships.
He handed over a finger cicada and said, "I am in front, you are behind, and the distance is no less than ten feet." The finger cicada lightly clicked three times to stop standby, two clicks meant that there was an abnormality and could be approached for support, and one click meant that the speed was in danger and the speed could not be controlled.
Leave.
Junior brother, I am much older than you and have much more experience. I have had many similar experiences. I know that you are very skilled in swordsmanship and fearless, but in the world of cultivation, there are too many things that we cannot control with our level of cultivation.
In this situation, sometimes it is better to take a step back and call someone than to have both of you fall here.
This expedition was called by me, and of course it will be led by me. You must remember that trusting my judgment is the first principle. Are you willing to agree to it?"
Hou Tseta smiled and said, "How can I hide thirty feet away? You see, am I the kind of person who doesn't know what's going on?"
Xiang Zhiwen shook his head, "It's not that you are ignorant, you just don't believe in evil. But you have to understand that in such a narrow environment, if you cooperate with the formation trap, even people from the Three Realms of Tongtian may not be fully capable.
Unless you know how to escape, can you?"
Hou Tzu was ashamed, "You can only get in half, and maybe half of your butt will be left outside..."
Xiang Zhiwen was relatively reassured. Mentally, this junior brother was a standard swordsman who didn't panic when faced with problems, was quite quick-witted, and had quick reactions. This was why he only asked him to help him when he knew so many friends.
reason.
Apart from anything else, this kind of attitude of being covered by the sky is falling, as if you have never known what nervousness is. This is a rare trait.
"You protect my back and leave the front to me. The most critical factor for a successful expedition is mutual trust. I trust you, what about you?"
Hou Zi nodded, "Okay, I also believe in your judgment."
Xiang Zhiwen nodded with satisfaction, holding a sword in one hand and an unknown treasure in the other, and crawled into the hole.
After he had walked nearly twenty feet, Hou Zi followed him gently.
He has never experienced any adventure, and the one in Jingyang Mountain is not considered at all, because he simply went to visit; he has no interest in the various weird and fascinating treasure hunting adventures in the world of cultivation, and has never been interested in them.
I think this is an essential part of spiritual practice.
What kind of spiritual mentality would lead one to place one’s future on inexplicable underground treasure hunting? Those who hunt for treasures are fools who want to get something for nothing, and those who leave treasures must be traps with ulterior motives. This is a logic that normal people can understand, but this
There are still many people in the world of cultivation who are keen on this, but their minds are not on the same page.
Of course, Xiang Zhiwen's adventure this time is somewhat different. It is a magical exploration of nature. Such behavior will last throughout a monk's life. Going out and seeing the world is the correct way for a practitioner to grow.
When asked by Xiang Zhiwen to go ahead, he didn't argue, even though he had been here before; this was not a question of familiarity or unfamiliarity, but a question of responsibility.
As he walked, he played with the finger cicada in his hand. It was a high-end product that could transmit messages over short distances. It was obvious that Xiang Zhiwen had put a lot of effort into this exploration.
This is an object that does not transmit messages through spiritual fluctuations. It relies on the life connection between cicadas. It is especially suitable for use in narrow places, such as the underworld, mazes, tombs, etc. It cannot transmit messages that are too complex.
Information, because cicadas cannot understand human thoughts, but if agreed in advance, they can hit each other to warn each other.
With the strength of the two of them, they will not be afraid of anyone below Tongxuan; but the joy of practice lies in asymmetry. In addition to fighting, there are many other aspects, which are enough to control a person firmly, even if they are unable to exert their power.
What you are good at.
The last time he came in, he walked in for half an hour and went back and forth for an hour before exiting the cave because he remembered to end the meeting with Xiang Zhiwen hastily. This time he went deeper, and the two of them had the intention of not giving up until the end.
.
Because the cave was too dark, Xiang Zhiwen, who was in front of him, embedded a bead in his hat, which shone brightly. Theoretically, this would be harmful to completely exposing himself, but considering the inevitable emission of the two people walking through the deep cave,
It doesn't really matter whether there is sound or not. Anyway, it can't be truly silent, so it's better to be generous and generous.
This is a typical underground banyan cave structure, with a comfortable temperature. However, the space is becoming increasingly turbid. Fortunately, they can now hold their breath for a long time and obtain the necessary air through spiritual energy conversion, otherwise they would have been unable to go on.
After going deep into the cave for an hour, they didn't know how much they had descended. It felt like the place was almost close to the bottom of the mountain, but the spiritual power faintly revealed in the spring water made them feel that all their hard work had paid off.
After an hour of depth, a spiritual spring finally appeared. However, due to the structure of the banyan cave, the water from the spiritual spring could not leave the cave entrance, so no sign of spiritual power could be detected outside.
But now the intensity of the spiritual spring is very low. If it is present, it may be beneficial to ordinary mortals, but for them, this intensity is not enough. It is like soaking a few spiritual stones in a bucket of water.
The spirit stone is still insoluble.
What makes Hou Ting admire is that after discovering the spiritual spring, the speed of asking questions has slowed down. There is no sign of impatience at all. This is the quality of a psychologically mature monk. The closer he is to the destination, the closer he becomes.
It's about being calm.
Behind him, Hou Zi showed a puzzled expression. He felt that the current situation was a bit familiar. It seemed that it was also the case in Jingyang Cave. There was a faint inspiration in the spring water, but the real mystery lay in the stalactites hanging upside down above his head.
.
He wanted to speak to remind Xiang Zhiwen to pay attention to the situation above his head, but he didn't know how to speak. Friends were friends, but he would not reveal the secrets of seniors like Gusou easily. This was the most basic respect in the world of cultivation.
You can only pay attention to the top of your head, and if you find anything unusual, let me know.
Moreover, he is not sure that this place is a replica of Fei Lengquan. There are no two identical people in this world, and there are also no two identical spiritual springs.
Fortunately, if you continue, the truth will eventually come to light.
His judgment was accurate, Xiang Zhiwen was indeed experienced, and he noticed the abnormality above his head without his reminder.
‘Da, da, da…’ The cicada struck three times in a row, and Hou Zi understood that it was time to stop.
