Fortunately, before entering the No. 1 mine tunnel, Meng Tao took out a pot of water for Shen Yu to drink. After Shen Yu drank it, he hung it on himself. After Meng Tao absorbed spiritual energy into the space, the space automatically closed. People could not enter and things could not be taken out. Now the two of them only have this pot of water.

Seeing Shen Yu's pale face, Meng Tao grabbed his hand and said distressedly: "It feels uncomfortable, right? You've worked hard! Next time I'll come alone..."

Shen Yu held her hand back and said, "It was very uncomfortable at first, but after holding on, I found that it was somewhat beneficial... But this spiritual energy is too strong and heavy. You can't do it alone. Wait for me to rest. Ten minutes."

Meng Tao hurriedly fed him two more sips of water: "Don't worry, half an hour will do."

"Ten minutes is enough. Drink some water too."

"Okay. Are you sure you're okay?"

"No problem! This is spiritual energy, right? I found that I can mobilize some of the spiritual energy, circulate it around my body, and then go out."

"Really? Isn't this, like what they say, drawing the Qi into the body? Awesome! You can practice without a teacher, you can go to Mount Wutai to become a Taoist priest!"

Shen Yu was so angry that he laughed. He pulled up his wife's messy braids and said, "I'm going to be a Taoist priest. What will you do?"

"I'll go with you. Taoist priests can marry wives."

"You know all this? Who told you?"

Meng Tao took a breath. She couldn't discuss Jin Yong with him, could she? It seemed that the martial arts craze had not yet spread to the mainland.

"I heard it from someone."

“…”

After a few casual chats, we arrived in ten minutes.

Shen Yu pulled Meng Tao up, and they adjusted their states seriously, preparing to absorb spiritual energy for the space again. This time, Shen Yu told Meng Tao that they could hold on for forty minutes.

Just like this, from thirty minutes to forty minutes, then fifty minutes, an hour...it was not until nine o'clock in the evening that the two came out of the No. 3 mine tunnel, supporting each other. They looked very tired, but in good spirits.

The bottle of water had been finished and the flashlight was dim, but fortunately there was still a bottle of water in the jeep. When Meng Tao was preparing for a picnic at noon, the small bamboo basket she had taken out from the space was still on the back seat, with two cucumbers and five or six small red tomatoes left in it.

It’s just right for dinner. Although it won’t fill you up, it’s enough to replenish your energy.

The guard at the gate was still the "familiar-looking" one. As Shen Yu and Meng Tao had not come out yet, he volunteered to take over as the replacement and continued to guard the gate. He felt a little uneasy and was thinking whether he should report to his superiors and arrange for people to search the mining area. In case they encountered any danger, he could not afford the consequences.

He was anxiously craning his neck to look when he suddenly saw a jeep approaching. He walked closer and saw the people in the car clearly. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened the iron gate.

Meng Tao really wanted to thank this young man, but the space was closed and she couldn't take anything out. She also told Shen Yu that everything was ready and there was no need to buy anything to put in the car. Shen Yu believed her quite a bit, but now, they both had no food to eat and were hungry.

Therefore, it is not a good thing to rely entirely on space once you have it.

Meng Tao said to Shen Yu: "Go ask him for his address and send him a thank-you gift later."

Shen Yu did not stop the car, but just waved to the young man and drove away.

After walking more than a hundred meters, he said to Meng Tao: "There will be a thank-you gift. He will receive it soon. I guarantee that he will be happy and satisfied."

The jeep drove from the concrete road onto the gravel road. Instead of turning back, it followed the border line and sped forward under the cover of night.

Shen Yu had told Meng Tao before that a small town called Huangyan a hundred miles away was a gathering place for smuggling and criminals both at home and abroad. Not only were there a large number of raw stones smuggled in from abroad, but there were also other crimes committed under the guise of the raw stone business. The criminals had no bottom line in killing and robbing for money. Now that Shen Yu and Meng Tao had come to this place, they planned to take advantage of Meng Tao's space to collect those raw stones.

It was dark at night, and Shen Yu was concentrating on driving, looking up at the rearview mirror from time to time. He had slowed down, hoping that Meng Tao could have a good rest in the back seat.

Meng Tao wanted to accompany him, but Shen Yu would not let her. He saw his wife dressed up beautifully in the morning to go out, worked hard all day, and turned into a homeless child at night. Her complexion was not so good. He felt very distressed and insisted that she take a nap.

Meng Tao was also a little worried about the space. She thought that the space was closed because it needed to digest the spiritual energy of the jade. As the owner of the space, it might be affected if she was too tired, so she didn't insist too much and went to sleep obediently.

The speed was not much faster than that of a horse-drawn carriage. After more than three hours of driving, at one o'clock in the morning, Shen Yu parked the car on the side of the road and turned off the engine and lights.

Meng Tao was probably used to the bumpy ride, so she woke up as soon as the car stopped. She opened her eyes to see darkness and quickly got up. Shen Yu turned around when he heard the noise and whispered, "Are you awake? I'm here!"

"Are we there yet?" Meng Tao also asked softly.

Shen Yu: "Yes. We parked on the slope, and Huangyan Town is not far away after going down the slope."

Meng Tao sensed the space, took out an apple and stuffed it into Shen Yu's pocket. Shen Yu was surprised: "The space is open?"

Meng Tao: “…” You thought it was a shop, open for business.

He said, "It's late at night now, dark and no one is passing by. I'll take you in to have a look?"

"Can I come in, too?"

"Can."

Shen Yu wanted to do it very much, but then he shook his head and said, "It's better to be careful. What if someone suddenly passes by? After all, this place is not like our inland areas. You go and I'll guard it."

Meng Tao felt that he was right, so she took out a pot of water, a plate of cooked meat slices, and a plate of pickles, and asked him to eat slowly while she slipped into the space.

Although the lights were not on, Shen Yu's eyesight in the dark was very good. He watched his wife disappear from the spot and was very surprised.

When Meng Tao entered the space and saw the changes inside, she was not only surprised, but also greatly shocked! The surging and bottomless sea of ​​clouds was still there, but they suddenly dropped like a horizontal line, and the whole thing dropped down...about the height of a ten-story building! So the stone platform became a real dangerous building in the sky, with nothing around it, and you could pick the stars with your hands, as if the wind would really fly away.

Meng Tao felt that her fear of heights might relapse. She was now unsure whether she dared to sit on the edge to pick fruits and vegetables!

Ten floors below, surrounded by a sea of ​​clouds, is a peak platform that looks like a fairyland.

The platform was very wide, measuring more than ten acres, with tall palaces with carved beams and painted buildings, as well as exquisite pavilions, strange trees and plants, a winding bridge, and lotus flowers blooming in the clear pond...

Next to this beautiful fairyland stands Meng Tao's stone platform, and on the platform is a messy bamboo rack. There are many sacks, gourds and the like hanging around the platform, and there is even a film fluttering in the wind!

Meng Tao covered her face, unable to bear to look at it.
