Su Jinyue ran out of the village and sat down under the old locust tree outside the village. If the man in black was coming for her, then she definitely couldn't go back tonight. But what she didn't expect was that Song Yiren was already related to the man in black. She really underestimated Song Yiren.
Sighing, Su Jinyue looked up at the sky. The stars were shining brightly in the dark night sky, and they looked particularly bright in the darkness.
I still remember the last time I watched the stars, it was with Yi Han. That was also the last time they met in their previous life.
That day happened to be her birthday. Mo Feiheng had originally agreed to celebrate her birthday with her, but she waited and waited, but Mo Feiheng never showed up. She called Mo Feiheng, but he didn't answer.
Just when she was about to go find Mo Feiheng, Yi Han called. Every year on her birthday, Yi Han would call to congratulate her.
From chatting, she knew Yihan was in the city where she lived, so she asked him to go to the mountain to watch the stars. Looking back now, the stars that day seemed particularly bright, as if they could be caught with one's hands.
Su Jinyue let out a faint smile. "What a fool." Only now did she realize that Yihan's presence in her city on her birthday wasn't a coincidence. It wouldn't have been such a coincidence, but she hadn't thought much about it before. From now on, she would celebrate her birthday only with Yihan.
He stretched out his hand, as if trying to catch the stars, and caught a glimpse of a dark shadow in the distance, running towards him.
Su Jinyue was startled and quickly stood up and ran. Although she didn't see clearly who the person was, she was sure that it was definitely not a villager from Shangxin Village. It was most likely the man in black.
The black shadow also discovered Su Jinyue and quickly chased after her.
Turning back to see the shadow chasing after her, Su Jinyue panicked even more and ran up the mountain along the path. She no longer cared whether there was danger on the mountain or not; escaping was the most important thing.
Su Jinyue kept running, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid, her strength dwindling, her legs feeling as if they were filled with lead. Hearing the footsteps approaching from behind, a wave of despair rose in her heart. Was she going to die at Song Yiren's hands again after being reborn? She was unwilling to accept this, so unwilling!
At that moment, she tripped over a raised rock and stumbled forward a few steps, but still couldn't keep her balance and rolled down the hillside. This was okay, at least it was better than dying at Song Yiren's hands. It was just a shame that she couldn't be with Yihan in this life!
The man in black came to the place where Su Jinyue rolled down, looked down, smiled coldly, turned around and walked towards Shangxin Village.
Song Yiren couldn't sleep, so she simply sat on the bed and read, waiting for the man in black to come and give her news. Logically speaking, Su Jinyue and Brother Zhan had been separated for a short time, so it shouldn't have been possible for them to meet in private again, but where would Su Jinyue go so late at night?
"Knock knock knock!" There was a soft knock on the window.
Song Yiren put down the book, stood up and jumped to the window. She pushed it open and saw the man in black outside and asked hurriedly, "Where is Su Jinyue?"
"She rolled down the hill." said the man in black.
Song Yiren was shocked, "Is she dead?"
"The chances of survival are slim," the man in black said. Even if he didn't die from rolling down such a high slope, he would be crippled.
Song Yiren was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I understand." If Su Jinyue really died, it would be her bad luck that could be blamed.
As the night gradually faded, a faint fish belly white color appeared in the eastern sky. As a ray of sunlight shone through the sea of clouds, it seemed to inject a bit of vitality into the earth, making everything look so vibrant.
As the sun continued to rise, the whole world became brighter and brighter. The brilliant sunshine slowly dispelled the clouds in the mountains, making the mountains in the distance become clearer.
Su Jinyue groaned, slowly opened her eyes, and looked around, finding herself in a cave. Didn't I just roll down the hill? How did I end up in a cave? Whatever. Being alive was just luck.
I tried to move my body and found that apart from some pain in my back, I had no other injuries.
She stood up and carefully looked at the cave. It was not very big, only about five or six square meters. There was an opening at the top of the cave, covered with weeds and trees. It seemed that she had fallen into the cave from that opening.
"Master! There is spiritual energy here." The little demon's voice sounded.
"Really?!" Su Jinyue was extremely surprised. Could this be what people say, that those who survive a great disaster will be blessed in the future?
"Master, use your eyes to see through it. That thing should be behind the cave wall." said the little demon.
Su Jinyue nodded and scanned the surrounding cave walls with concentrated attention. Soon, she found a small black wooden box behind a raised wall. "I found it."
Walking forward happily, Su Jinyue carefully looked at the protruding cave wall for a while, then picked up a rock from the ground and started smashing the wall.
Ten minutes passed and only a small hole was made in the cave wall. Su Jinyue rested for a while and continued to hammer.
Half an hour... an hour... Su Jinyue gritted her teeth, hammering away at the raised cave wall. Her palms were scratched by the rock, blood staining a corner of it red, but her eyes grew more determined. The opportunity was right before her, and she absolutely could not give up because of a small obstacle.
"Click!" A light sound.
Then, Su Jinyue saw the raised cave wall slowly sinking inward. After a while, a small hole appeared on the cave wall, and the small black wooden box was slowly pushed out from the hole.
Su Jinyue's eyes lit up. She reached out and took the small black wooden box. She looked at it carefully and saw that there was no mechanism on the wooden box. She opened the box. Inside the box were a book, a letter, three white crystals and a white porcelain bottle.
Su Jinyue picked up one of the white crystals and said, "The spiritual energy on it is so abundant." It was several times richer than the spiritual energy on the snake gall she got yesterday.
"Master, you are rich. This is a spirit stone." The little demon shouted excitedly.
"Spirit stone?" Su Jinyue looked at the white crystal in her hand in confusion. This was the first time she had heard of such a stone.
"Anyway, it's a stone that contains spiritual energy, which is good for improving your eyesight." said the little demon.
Su Jinyue smiled and nodded, then picked up the letter from the wooden box and opened it. Since the owner of the wooden box had left this letter, he must have left some information.
When the letter paper was unfolded, the font on it was elegant and graceful, and the words and lines were written in one go, like the endless Yangtze River.
I am Tiandaozi of the Tianji Sect. Hunted here by my enemies, I have opened this cave to heal my wounds. However, my injuries are too severe to be revived. If anyone can obtain the wooden box I left behind, I will give them the three spirit stones, the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and the Heavenly Cultivation Sutra. However, I hope the black wooden box will be returned to the Tianji Sect. I have left a map of the Tianji Sect on the back of this letter. I hope someone will fulfill my wish. Thank you very much!
