Although the cave entrance is large, the inside is a bit narrow. I walked around the cave twice and didn't find anything. When I went out, I saw the three words "Guigu Cave" engraved in gray on the rock wall at the entrance.
Ghost Valley Cave?
I remember when we were on the high-speed train, Su Xiaoniu mentioned that the Ghost Valley Cave in Tianmen Mountain was the secluded place of Ghost Sanniang, and that Mei Mingyou and the black-clothed madman were most likely here for Ghost Sanniang. So, were they all in this Ghost Valley Cave?
But this so-called Ghost Valley Cave is so small, it ends after just two steps. That shouldn't be possible, right? Although the layout inside, with the chess pieces, fire pits, and flowing water, does have a somewhat mysterious and immortal feel, my guess is that this cave is most likely fake.
I shook my head and was about to leave when I heard a dull roar from outside the cave, the sound of some unknown animal. Frightened, I quickly retreated to a hidden spot inside the cave. I poked my head out and peeked outside. I saw a giant python, the size of an eel, wriggling its striped flesh. It slowly blocked the cave entrance, its tongue lolling, and peering inside.
Its large, dark green eyes, like emeralds, swiveled around the cave, as if it had already spotted someone entering and was about to devour them. Terrified, I quickly took out my Qi-retaining talisman and applied it to my body. This python, having absorbed the essence of nature from Tianmen Mountain for years, might have attained spiritual power. If I didn't restrain my Qi, it would easily detect my presence. Damn it! I didn't want to fight a monstrous python like that, even though it wasn't guaranteed to defeat me.
But, after all, it's a psychic snake. Killing it would be detrimental to one's virtue, so I should release it if possible. — Actually, I was just scared and trying to comfort myself.
I watched the python scan the cave before suddenly resting its gaze on the rock in front of me. I jumped in surprise and quickly retracted my head, wondering if I'd been discovered. My heart was pounding. From afar, I could hear rustling sounds coming into the cave. I figured the python must have made its way inside. This wasn't a Ghost Valley Cave at all; it was a Python Cave! What a bummer!
Just as I was cursing inwardly, the python suddenly spoke, "Tianmen Mountain has a total of sixteen caves, all of varying sizes and environments. Only one is the true Guigu Cave. It's impossible for explorers to find the real Guigu Cave. This cave, along with the other fourteen, was dug by Guigu Master to confuse explorers. Each cave is guarded by various demons, zombies, ghosts, spirits, mandrills, and other monsters. Even if someone did find the real Guigu Cave, it would no longer exist."
My hair stood on end. The python actually spoke. Holy crap! I was so scared! But I was alone in the cave. Was it talking to itself? That couldn't be possible. So, was it talking to me? I carefully poked half of my head out, and two huge emeralds appeared before my eyes...
If this emerald is dug out and auctioned, it will definitely be worth a lot of money. Oh my god, this is not an emerald at all, it is clearly the eyeball of a python!
This python had already appeared in front of me, which scared me to death. I quickly took out the Seven-Star Sword from my backpack and said calmly: "If you are a fairy or a Taoist, don't scare me; if you are a demon or a monster, I am not someone to be trifled with!" As soon as the words fell, I stabbed it with a sword.
The python didn't move at all, and I stabbed the sword right into its belly. There was a "ding" sound, as if the sword had stabbed into a hard stone, and it had no effect on the python at all!
I was secretly amazed. If we could peel off the snake skin and belly and make clothes, it would be even better than a bulletproof vest!
The python spoke again: "Seven Star Sword? The item held by the Yin-Yang Fairy? Who are you?"
Only then did I realize that the python wasn't just talking, but communicating with me directly through its mind! Sure enough, this python was psychic! Moreover, it could force a person to communicate with it. However, many animals are spiritual, but most of us mortals haven't developed spiritual intelligence and can't communicate with animals. So, even if an animal were to speak to you, you wouldn't understand what they were saying.
Of course, some people are born with spiritual intelligence, which is different. Some people develop spiritual intelligence later in life and can also communicate with animals. As for me, under Su Xiaoniu's years of patient guidance, I also developed spiritual intelligence a long time ago. You could say that my spiritual intelligence was acquired later in life.
I replied, "I am an important person to the Yin-Yang Fairy, and I can also be called her disciple. Are you a human or a demon? How do you know her?"
