After a moment of confusion, she realized that she was at the bottom of the cliff.
I'm still alive?!
She struggled to sit up and saw the unrecognizable body below her. She suddenly wondered how she had survived.
But even though the man holding the knife acted as a cushion, she felt extremely uncomfortable at the moment. She was in pain all over her body, and she broke out in cold sweats. She didn't know whether her bones were broken or her internal organs were bleeding.
After resting for a while, she gritted her teeth and stood up, only to feel dizzy and hurriedly hold onto the stone wall and walk slowly.
At the bottom of the cliff was an extremely narrow valley with only one way in and out. After walking in one direction for a while, Xiang Sheng's vision suddenly became clear. He came to a dark natural cave with only a flickering light in the middle of the cave. He didn't know what it was.
When Xiang Sheng got closer, she found that it was a spring. She was very thirsty, so she knelt in front of the spring and drank from it.
The spring water is cold and sweet. When I drink it, I feel a warm feeling in my stomach. It is very comfortable, and I even feel a tingling sensation on my shoulders.
She quickly lifted up the torn clothes and found that the wound on her shoulder was scabbing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This water can not only fill the stomach, but also heal wounds.
Xiang Sheng was greatly surprised and immediately drank several more big gulps until he could drink no more, then he lay down against the stone wall.
It was pitch dark in the cave, and Xiang Sheng lay quietly there, but his heart was extremely peaceful, a peace he had never felt since he came here.
No matter what happens in the future, at least she has survived successfully, and she can continue to practice and seek the truth.
Still, I can continue to look for him...
The sound of "tick-tick" from the spring water seemed to have a calming effect. Xiang Sheng gradually couldn't open his eyelids and fell into a deep sleep with fatigue.
Just after she fell asleep, the spring suddenly burst into light, and a suction force appeared out of nowhere, completely enveloping Xiang Sheng and sucking him into the spring, where he disappeared.
Bang!
Xiang Sheng was woken up by the fall from the sky and climbed up with a confused look on his face.
What I saw was a brightly lit stone chamber.
The interior furnishings were simple, with only a long stone table and a futon in front of it, clean and spotless.
How did I get here?
There is no door in the stone chamber, how can we get out?
Ever since she joined the Blazing Flame Sect, her bad luck seemed to have never stopped.
Sighing slightly, Xiang Sheng touched and knocked on the surrounding stone walls. A large area of restrictive patterns emerged, which frightened her so much that she stepped back repeatedly and dared not knock again.
Turning around and walking to the futon, Xiang Sheng looked at the empty stone table, hesitated for a moment, and sat down on the futon.
As soon as he sat down, he heard the sound of a mechanism turning on the stone table in front of him. A gap opened in the middle, and a jade box slowly rose up.
Xiang Sheng frowned slightly, took out the jade box and opened it. There was only an envelope inside.
It’s not that he was disappointed. Xiang Sheng opened the letter and took a quick look. There were only two short lines of words on it.
“There is a treasure left in this secret room, for the destined one.
If you can find it, it's yours. If you can't find it, you'll be trapped here and die. No need to say more."
A test...
He put down the letter thoughtfully and checked the jade box again, but found nothing unusual.
There were very few furnishings in the room, and Xiang Sheng didn't find any other mechanisms on the futon or the stone table. He could only use the crude method of knocking on the stone bricks in the room one by one.
Anyway, the letter asked her to find the treasure, so she wouldn't be shocked to death by the restrictions on the wall.
However, after knocking on all the bricks, Xiang Sheng still didn't find anything unusual.
Sitting down on the cushion again, Xiang Sheng frowned and looked around the stone chamber.
Fortunately, she drank enough spring water before coming in. Although a long time had passed, she did not feel hungry. The injuries on her body had mostly healed and no longer affected her movements.
But if she couldn't find the treasure and was trapped here, she would starve to death sooner or later.
How do I find it?
The senior set up the test simply because he didn't want the treasure to fall into the hands of fools, but the room was empty and there was nothing.
Could it be that this was a prank set by an evil cultivator, to play a cruel trick on her and then let her die in despair?
Xiang Sheng was thinking, knocking on the wall unconsciously, watching the forbidden patterns on the stone wall appear repeatedly, suddenly his eyes fixed, and he stood up.
The restrictive patterns that appear each time seem to be different.
She tried tapping again, but found that the pattern was the same.
Did I just see it wrong?
Looking at the bare wall, Xiang Sheng pondered for a moment, then walked to the first row of bricks on the left and tapped them gently.
The lines appeared and then disappeared after a while.
Xiang Sheng walked to the second row of bricks and knocked on them, and the patterns appeared again.
This time, it's a completely different pattern.
