Chapter 72: Still Afraid of Death
“This is it!”
Looking at the familiar cave in front of him, Xie Mingzhu tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart.
Seeing that the people behind him were still carefully looking at it, and they didn't dare to enter immediately, Xie Mingzhu urged: "The rich spiritual energy is coming from inside. I think there must be good things in the cave. Let's go in quickly, otherwise others will snatch away the good opportunity."
You have to know that in her last life, she was just a step slow, which allowed that bitch Princess Luo to seize the opportunity. This time, she will never let that person get any chance again!
Thinking of this, Xie Mingzhu prepared to dive into the cave.
But as soon as she took a step, Qiu Yu stopped her: "Junior Sister Xie, please wait a moment. This cave looks very deep. Who knows what dangers are hidden inside. We should discuss it again."
This was originally just Qiu Yu's good intention, but as soon as she gave the reminder, Xie Mingzhu's eyes suddenly turned red and tears started to fall.
"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Qiu Yu. I just want everyone to have a good opportunity. I didn't mean to make you angry. If you are not satisfied with my suggestion, we can all follow your arrangements." Xie Mingzhu said timidly.
Qiu Yu frowned when she heard this. She was about to explain, but someone spoke before her:
"Mingzhu, don't cry. This is not your fault. You are only thinking about our chances. Unlike some people, they are obviously cowardly but still want to drag you out to take the blame."
The person who said this was Xiao Chi, who had always been protecting Xie Mingzhu.
He originally had a good impression of this soft-spoken senior sister, but now seeing her targeting Mingzhu again and again, Xiao Chi couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, the other people rushed forward to try to stop the fight, fearing that the team would be dispersed within less than a day of entering the secret realm.
"Xiao Chi, don't talk nonsense. Senior Sister Qiu is doing this for our safety. Don't misunderstand me." Xu You, who is a disciple of the same generation as Xiao Chi, quietly pulled his companion and told him to shut up and stop talking.
Senior Brother Tong Wenkang, who was the deputy leader, said, "We are all from the same sect. There is no need to hurt the harmony over a small matter."
Qiu Yu pursed her lips, trying to suppress the anger in her heart and asked the two people: "What do you think, do you want to stay or take the risk in the cave?"
"This..." Xu You and the other man looked at each other and hesitated to speak.
But seeing the two's behavior, Qiu Yu could no longer understand that they had long been fooled by the "opportunity" that Xie Mingzhu mentioned.
Qiu Yu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, since you all want to go into the cave to search for treasure, I won't stop you. But if you encounter danger inside, I hope you won't blame me."
No matter how gentle Qiu Yu is and doesn't cause trouble, she has been bullied to this extent. She is not made of dough, so how can she allow these people to knead her?
She made a harsh statement first and had already made up her mind that she would not lead this team!
Xie Mingzhu was overjoyed at how things turned out, but her expression was aggrieved and pitiful: "Sister Qiu, don't be angry. This is all my fault. I will never make random suggestions again."
Seeing that she was about to cry again, Xiao Chi quickly comforted her: "Mingzhu, don't cry, this is not your fault. The spiritual energy emanating from the cave is so rich, it must be a great treasure. Let's go in quickly and don't let others get there first."
After being surrounded and coaxed by the three male cultivators, Xie Mingzhu finally burst into laughter. The group of people went into the cave while chatting and laughing.
Qiu Yu, who was left behind, clenched the hilt of the sword. She felt a little uneasy. After thinking about it, she activated a defense talisman before going in and quietly placed it on her chest.
This cave was really big. The five people groped forward for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, a little light appeared at the end of the dark corridor.
Several people ran quickly towards the place where the light was, and saw that a large area inside the mountain suddenly became empty. A white light from the top of the mountain shone through the hole in the cave, allowing the five people to clearly see this tall and empty cave.
On one side of the cave, a tall stone Buddha without a head sat quietly, with tufts of moss growing on the Buddha's body, making the stone Buddha that they had to look up at appear even more desolate and lonely.
The ray of sunlight from the top of the mountain fell directly on the stone Buddha, illuminating the cracks on the Buddha's body.
This scene was truly shocking, but before Qiu Yu and the others could get over the magnificent scene, they heard Xie Mingzhu scream, "Oh, look what that is?!"
Awakened by her voice, several people looked in the direction Xie Mingzhu pointed, and sure enough, they saw a bunch of beautiful white flowers growing at the feet of the stone Buddha.
The little flower has no leaves, only green roots that grow straight up, holding the flower high.
It stands to reason that the monks would not even look at such an ordinary-looking little flower.
But after seeing the flower clearly, the five of them opened their eyes wide with surprise on their faces.
"It's the Rotten Bone Stone Orchid!" Xu You couldn't help but shout out.
Tong Wenkang ran towards the bunch of flowers as soon as possible, looking extremely anxious.
Everyone else could understand his attitude, after all, that was the Rotten Bone Stone Orchid!
The most difficult elixir to cultivate in the world of cultivation, and the most important ingredient in refining the Limb-Breaking Pill!
It is said that the price of the Rotten Bone Stone Orchid in the market has soared to 100,000 Spiritual Stones per plant. There are so many here, and if they take a portion out, it will be a considerable income.
Realizing this, Xiao Chi glanced at Qiu Yu, who also had a happy expression on his face, and his bad mouth immediately came out again: "Humph, some people were unwilling to enter the cave earlier, saying that they were worried about our safety, but they are just afraid of death!"
"If Mingzhu hadn't fought hard and brought us here, I'm afraid this opportunity would have been taken away by someone else!"
It is obvious who this is referring to.
Qiu Yu's expression suddenly turned ugly, and all the joy he had felt before was gone.
The other two peacemakers were silent now. Compared to their previous secret support for Xie Mingzhu, this time they made their attitude clear and were leaning towards the other side.
At this time, Xie Mingzhu spoke again: "Achi, don't say that. Senior Sister didn't mean it. Besides, my cultivation is not as good as Senior Sister's, and I entered the sect later than Senior Sister. It is reasonable for her to distrust my judgment."
Qiu Yu opened her mouth. She really wanted to explain herself. It wasn't that she didn't trust Xie Mingzhu's judgment, nor did she want to use her seniority to pressure the other party. She really felt that there was danger in this cave!
Qiu Yu's perception has always been sharp, and it is because of this that she was chosen by her master to be his personal disciple with the qualification of three spiritual roots.
But Xiao Chi did not give Qiu Yu a chance to explain, and once again blocked her words: "Mingzhu, don't speak for her. We have all seen her jealous behavior today. When we get out of the secret realm, we will tell the elders about this matter, and then let them judge right and wrong."
Having said this, Xiao Chi did not forget to glare at Qiu Yu again.
The two of them left Qiu Yu and headed straight for the clump of rotten bone orchid.
But before the two men could get close, a huge shadow slowly fell, completely covering the four people surrounding Shi Lan.
At that moment, Qiu Yu's fear reached its peak.
