After listening to Xiang'er's persuasion, Lin Shan pretended to be puzzled and asked: "I was invited to collect treasures in the maze cave. Why did you persuade me not to go?"
Xiang'er bit her lips lightly and said hesitantly: "I just think that the maze is too dangerous. I heard people say that it is like a maze. If someone who is not familiar with it goes in, they may not be able to get out."
"how?
Are you worried that if I can’t come out, no one will treat you?”
Lin Shan hugged her into his arms and joked.
Xiang'er felt the embrace of this man, and it was also her first man. She really didn't want him to die, but she didn't dare to disobey the order from the head of the family. After all, she had obeyed orders for more than 20 years, and the order from the head of the Pei family was
The prestige has been deeply rooted in her heart.
"It doesn't matter if your slave lives or lives."
Xiang'er said hesitantly.
Lin Shan patted her jade back and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine.
Besides, I am your master’s distinguished guest, how could he harm me?”
Xiang'er didn't say anything more, she lowered her head in silence and walked out the door to prepare breakfast for Lin Shan.
Breakfast had already been prepared in the kitchen, but Xiang'er personally prepared a richer and more delicious breakfast for Lin Shan.
Not long after breakfast, the head of the family, Pei Huaien, came to invite Lin Shan to collect earth spirits.
Before leaving, Xiang'er grabbed Lin Shan's hand and shook it tightly, like a newly married couple.
But Lin Shan saw worry in her eyes.
"Master Lin, did you have a good rest last night?"
Pei Huaien asked with a smile.
Lin Shan chuckled and said: "These twin sisters are really the best, especially that Xiang'er, who naturally has a charming fragrance, which is really haunting.
My old back can’t stand it this morning.”
"Haha, Master Lin is really good at joking.
You are a master of alchemy, how can such a small problem be so difficult for you?"
Pei Huaien showed a smile that every man would understand.
"Does the Pei family master need this kind of elixir?
I can refine it for you for free, and I’m sure to satisfy you.”
Lin Shan smiled.
"I don't have to, Master Lin, this is the maze of our Pei family."
While talking, the group of people came to a stone gate in the mountain behind Pei's house.
There are disciples guarding the door at all times, and the stone door looks very heavy and solid.
But from Lin Shan's point of view, it's just a matter of one sword.
He couldn't even withstand a blow from the Dragon Sword.
"Master Lin, please follow closely for a moment and don't move around randomly, otherwise I may not be able to find you."
Pei Huaien said alarmistly.
"oh?
This maze belongs to your Pei family, as the head of the family, don’t you know what’s going on inside?”
Lin Shan asked curiously.
Pei Huaien said with a candid expression: "To be honest with Master Lin, although this maze belongs to our Pei family, it is naturally formed. It is crisscrossed with many roads. We have not explored it all for several generations.
, on the contrary, the more I explore, the more I find myself at a loss.”
"Hiss! This maze is huge."
Lin Shan took a deep breath in cooperation.
"It's big and deep.
Some places are connected to underground rivers.
Our Pei family has organized several large-scale exploration operations. The longest one even lasted half a year. In the end, due to insufficient supplies, we returned without success and could not explore the end at all."
Pei Huaien said.
"The Pei family has really found a natural safe house.
If something happens, just hide inside and no one will be able to find you."
Lin Shan sighed.
"That's right.
But what we can use in the maze is less than one thousand percent."
As the two chatted, they had already arrived in front of the stone gate.
The gatekeeper disciple opened the stone gate, and a large hole appeared.
There are gusts of cool breeze blowing inside. In this hot southern Xinjiang climate, it is quite comfortable, just like a naturally air-conditioned house.
"Master Lin, please!"
"please!"
The two walked into the cave together. The front section was artificially repaired. The walls were built with bluestone, the road was paved with bluestone slabs, and wall lamps were hung on the walls on both sides.
But after walking for more than an hour, this kind of road disappeared and completely transformed into its original form.
"Master Pei, how far do we have to go?"
Lin Shan asked.
"We're almost there, not far ahead."
This is the third time that the head of the Pei family has said this.
Lin Shan continued walking patiently. He was not worried about being trapped, but he still had to put on a show.
I walked like this for more than an hour and still didn't reach the place.
Lin Shan's expression suddenly became impatient, he stopped and said, "Master Pei, are you lying to me?
I just said we were almost there, it’s been so long, why haven’t we arrived yet?”
"Master Lin, please be patient. It's really coming soon. If you don't believe me, feel it for yourself."
The head of the Pei family laughed along and explained.
Lin Shan was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "There seems to be a strange smell in the air. It seems sweet and a little milky, like bread."
"This is a ten-thousand-year-old stalactite, which is also very beneficial to spiritual practice.
That treasure grew in that place.
Let’s go quickly, we’re really almost there.”
The head of the Pei family continued to lead the way.
Lin Shan glanced at Jennifer, who was following behind, and then continued to walk forward.
About ten minutes later, the head of the Pei family stopped, and in front of Linshan, a very empty underground cave appeared, with countless stalactites, and shining lights from nowhere, which reflected the space very well.
Fantasy.
"Master Lin, look, that treasure is right there."
The head of the Pei family pointed to a huge rock in front of him and said.
The dark tree roots came out of the ground and burrowed into the boulder, like a black python plotting on the boulder.
Lin Shan quickly ran forward, with a look of joy on his face: "Yes, this is the treasure!"
The dark tree root-like thing in front of me is the earth spirit.
But what surprised Lin Shan was that there was no spiritual energy in this place, and there were no conditions for the growth of earth spirits.
"Sir, they have all left."
Jennifer had been watching the movements of the Pei family, and when she saw them leaving furtively, she alerted Lin Shan in time.
Lin Shan still looked at the earth spirit and said without hesitation: "Let them go. We came here just to fall into the trap."
"Sir, is this thing really a treasure?"
Seeing what Lin Shan said, Melina naturally had nothing to worry about and focused her attention on the earth spirit.
It's just that this thing is dark, and if thrown on the ground, it will probably be regarded as rotten firewood, and it has no characteristics of a treasure.
Lin Shan stroked the torso of the earth spirit and said: "This thing is born from the essence of heaven and earth. It is a rare treasure in the world. It may not be possible to find such a thing for thousands of years. It is especially of great significance to practitioners.
With it, my strength can be increased dozens of times, don’t you think it’s a treasure?”
