Chapter 168: Fangcun Realm
Only when they stood on the cliff did the two men breathe a sigh of relief.
"Safe for now."
Feng Tianning closed her eyes and realized that there was no spiritual power left in her dantian. The previous attack had exhausted all her strength.
Pei Duyan patted his chest with lingering fear and asked with some concern:
"Inspector Feng, what should we do now?"
Without waiting for Feng Tianning to answer, he spoke again:
"It's all my fault for insisting on following you down here. If I had stayed up there, the exit to the previous tomb might not have disappeared."
He smiled bitterly and continued:
"Plus my strange physique, Inspector Feng, it's me who has implicated you."
Feng Tianning patted his shoulder soothingly and said:
"Don't blame yourself."
But the more she said this, the more guilty Pei Duyan looked.
"Perhaps...there is always a way out."
Feng Tianning's gaze fell behind them.
Just now, she was only worried that her spiritual power would be exhausted and she would fall down with Pei Duyan, so she flew over directly when she saw a place where people could stand.
She hadn't looked closely just now, but now looking back she realized that this was not a cliff at all, but a cave.
Pei Duyan followed her gaze and looked back, and also saw the deep cave.
He swallowed involuntarily and said:
"Should we go in?"
Feng Tianning approached the cave entrance and suddenly felt as if something inside was calling her, attracting her to go in.
"If you go down and fight the stone man now, I may not be able to take you away alive."
Feng Tianning was not lying. Her spiritual power was exhausted. There was no resentment here, and her ability to replenish spiritual power with resentment was ineffective. She could not recover to her original state in a short time.
If she continued to fight, she would have to use the divine power that she had accumulated with great difficulty.
But there were countless stone men below. Even if she killed one group of stone men, the next group would quickly replace them.
"Just now down there, I couldn't find the exit."
For some reason, Feng Tianning couldn't see any small words around him the first and second time he went down.
"So our only way out now is to go in?" Pei Duyan said tremblingly.
Feng Tianning nodded and stepped into the cave first. Pei Duyan gritted his teeth and followed her, holding the corner of her clothes.
The cave was not long, and they reached the end quickly without encountering any danger.
Looking at the dead end before him, Pei Duyan said in despair:
"Are we hopeless?"
"The food in the bag is enough for us to eat for three days, Inspector Feng. Are we going to die here after three days?"
Feng Tianning shook her head. With her level of cultivation, she was already able to practice fasting. Even without food and water, she could survive by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The only one who might die is Pei Duyan, but Feng Tianning will not let him die.
She closed her eyes and carefully felt the direction of the power that was tempting her.
Seeing Feng Tianning didn't say anything, Pei Duyan thought she had no other options and sat helplessly on the ground.
After a while, Feng Tianning opened his eyes, walked towards their left rear, and placed his hand on the stone wall.
"It's right here."
"What?" Pei Duyan asked in confusion.
Feng Tianning pressed lightly, and the stone wall did not change, but the entire cave suddenly began to shake.
Pei Duyan hurriedly stood up and held onto the wall, looking at Feng Tianning in confusion.
After an unknown amount of time, the cave finally stopped shaking, and a door suddenly opened behind the dead end.
Feng Tianning walked to the door and found that there was a space of about 40 to 50 square meters inside.
"How is this possible?"
Pei Duyan looked at the stone bed, tables and benches inside in disbelief.
"Has anyone else lived here?"
He approached the stone table cautiously and suddenly found a set of exquisite tea sets on it.
Pei Duyan's occupational disease suddenly struck. He didn't care about the environment he was in at all. He picked up the camera and started taking pictures of the tea set frantically.
"This is an antique! And it's at least several thousand years old."
Feng Tianning ignored him and looked around at the layout inside. For some reason, she always had a familiar feeling.
She walked to the stone bed and pressed her hand towards a certain place almost subconsciously. The next second, a box suddenly popped out from the wall.
Pei Duyan was also attracted by the movement and looked at the box and Feng Tianning curiously.
"How do you know there's a trap here?"
He suddenly realized that since Feng Tianning entered this ancient tomb, he felt as familiar as if he had returned home.
She could see through their puzzled mechanisms at a glance, and she could find the secret cave just now. She could even guess the whereabouts of the other agents.
Pei Duyan thought of the face on the mural that looked a bit like Feng Tianning, and said half-jokingly:
"Inspector Feng, this ancient tomb doesn't really have anything to do with you, does it?"
Feng Tianning nodded honestly.
"I felt very familiar as soon as I came in, and I subconsciously looked for this mechanism."
The smile on Pei Duyan's face froze and he looked at her thoughtfully.
Feng Tianning didn't know what Pei Duyan was thinking, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
She picked up the box that popped out and opened it nervously. There was only a gourd lying quietly inside.
Pei Duyan's eyes lit up, and he threw away his suspicion of Feng Tianning and asked hurriedly:
"Is this the Fangcun Realm you mentioned?"
Feng Tianning was also a little surprised. He didn't expect to find this treasure in this cave by accident.
She nodded and said:
"That's it."
"Then can we go in and find the other detectives?"
Pei Duyan's face showed a little more joy, and he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart:
Maybe He Tao and Lu Quan were also brought into this gourd and were waiting for him to rescue them.
Unlike his excitement, Feng Tianning looked at the Fangcun Realm with a complicated expression.
She was a little nervous. Thousands of years had passed, and she didn't know what the world in the gourd would look like now.
Will it develop to the same extent as the mortal world today?
She thought of the commotion she and Fuxi had caused in there, and wondered if the people in there still remembered them from a thousand years ago.
"Detective Feng?" Pei Duyan asked with some confusion.
"Should we go in?"
Feng Tianning hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. She didn't know whether Xuan Gou Chen and the others were alive or dead, and she couldn't leave here now. The best way was to enter the Fangcun Realm.
Pei Duyan's face was full of excitement. He had never heard of such a magical weapon, let alone another world.
If they were all photographed, it would be a miracle in the archaeological world.
Feng Tianning chanted a few spells, and as divine power was injected, a golden light flashed, and the mouth of the gourd suddenly opened. They only felt dizzy.
When he opened his eyes again, the scene before him was no longer a cave.
