Jiang Chunian stood at the entrance of the cave and looked inside. It was pitch black without a trace of light, like a sleeping beast with its mouth open. It looked harmless, but it contained unknown dangers.
Jiang Chunian watched quietly for a while, then turned and walked to the side, found a clean stone to sit on, opened his backpack, took out bread and milk and started eating.
It took a lot of energy to circle around in the stone forest before. He didn't know what dangers he would face after entering. Jiang Chunian had to replenish his nutrition first and let the air in the cave circulate for a while, otherwise he would get hurt by the lack of air inside.
After Jiang Chunian finished eating, he put the garbage into the bag, packed up his backpack, and then leaned his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky.
To be honest, she had never imagined that one day she would be able to sit here so comfortably and watch the sky, the clouds and the scenery. She still remembered that in her previous life, she came here chasing the devil. Because she had no experience and was anxious when entering the stone forest for the first time, she got lost and almost capsized in the ditch.
Who would have thought that when she closed her eyes and opened them again, she would have arrived eighty years later?
Who would have thought that she could still rest so leisurely now?
This is what they call the impermanence of life.
The sun slowly sets in the west, and the clouds on the horizon are dyed red by the sunset glow, changing into various shapes.
There was a grass growing next to the stone. Jiang Chunian pulled out a leaf and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. He really felt like he was on a spring outing.
Oh, it feels so good to be alive.
When the sun had completely set, only a few gradually extinguished clouds of fire remained on the horizon. Jiang Chunian spat out the grass in his mouth, turned over and got off the rock, put on his backpack, and took out the electric baton and flashlight he had prepared earlier. Holding one in each hand, he slowly walked into the cave.
This cave is actually very deep, and it is not completely dark inside. There is a faint light on the wall, which can vaguely illuminate the way, but people can only grope their way in. Otherwise, if they step on empty air, they may fall into the abyss.
Because the roads in the cave are not all smooth, there are also narrow and steep ones. If you don't step firmly, you may really fall into the dark and bottomless abyss.
But now Jiang Chunian has a high-intensity flashlight in his hand, and the road is illuminated clearly, as is the surrounding environment.
Jiang Chunian walked down the rugged mountain road. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally reached a platform.
This platform is about 100 square meters wide. There is a cliff in front and a volcano below the cliff. Standing on the edge and looking down, you can see a sea of red below. The hot magma is flowing slowly, the flames jump from time to time, and the heat rises, dispersing the moisture in the cave. The platform is very dry and the light is much brighter than the previous mountain road.
However, Jiang Chunian still held the flashlight. She stood for a while before slowly walking onto the large platform. Without looking at the volcanic lava below, she turned to the other side. The flashlight beam fell under a large rock. Jiang Chunian stopped and looked at the skeleton leaning against the stone wall under the beam with an unclear expression.
A Taoist robe hung loosely on the bones, and a pair of cloth shoes lay on the ground.
What does it feel like to look at your own corpse?
Jiang Chunian walked over slowly, squatted down, and reached out to touch the bones.
The bones were as white as jade, dry and slightly cool to the touch.
So this is what her bones look like. So beautiful.
Jiang Chunian suddenly smiled.
Fate is so magical.
Eighty years ago, she died in this cave. No one knew and no one came to collect her body. Eighty years later, she came back to collect her own body.
She's probably the only one in the world who collects her own body, right?
Jiang Chunian smiled and sighed, "That's good. At least I can rest in peace. I won't have to stay here alone for a hundred or a thousand years. I don't know whether I will turn into dust or become a living fossil."
Because it was inconvenient, Jiang Chunian did not bring the jar when she came this time, but she brought a piece of cloth.
She took out a cloth from her backpack, spread it on the ground, and then began to pick up her bones, first her feet, then her legs, waist, and finally her head, just like a real person, without any mistake.
After picking up the bones, she wanted to pick up the clothes on the ground as well, but unfortunately the clothes had been weathered and fell apart at the slightest touch. It was fortunate that there was no wind on the mountain, otherwise they would have been blown away by a gust of wind.
Jiang Chunian said with some regret: "I really like wearing this dress, it's comfortable."
But she quickly cheered up: "But my current clothes are also very beautiful and comfortable. I can get a few new sets to be buried with them. No, I'm still alive. Even if I'm buried with them, I can't wear new clothes. It's a complete waste. Forget it, I came naked, and I will leave naked."
Jiang Chunian carefully wrapped up the bag, making sure it would not get loose or damaged when he carried it later, and then put it aside with his backpack. He then carried the clothes that had dried into dust to the edge of the platform and scattered them down.
The dust swirled in the air, and before it fell on the magma, it was burned to ashes by the scorching heat, but it did cause a spark.
Jiang Chunian cleaned up the dust before finally looking at the mirror and wooden sword beside him.
This was the purpose of her trip.
Retrieve the magical tool from her previous life.
The mirror is the Qiankun Mirror, engraved with ancient and complex runes, and can reflect yin and yang.
The wooden sword is a demon-destroying sword, made from the heart of thousand-year-old peach wood, which can destroy demons and eliminate evil.
These two magical instruments are the sect's treasures passed down by their Tianyi Sect, and have always been held by the sect's leader.
Although Jiang Chunian was only twenty years old in her previous life, she was the only successor of the 36th generation of Tianyi Sect and the head of the Tianyi Sect. Naturally, she was in charge of the sect's treasure.
It was a pity that in her previous life, she tracked down the big devil here. In order to prevent the big devil's evil plan from succeeding, she tried her best and finally killed the big devil. However, she herself died in this cave due to serious injuries. She did not have the time to continue to carry forward the sect and find a young apprentice to continue the inheritance of Tianyi Sect.
She felt quite regretful when she was dying, but she was also glad that this place was secret enough that ordinary people could not find it. Her body and treasures were here, waiting for the right person.
At that time, I never thought that I would be reborn as a little girl eighty years later, nor did I expect that it would be me who would collect my body in the end.
Jiang Chunian picked up the Qiankun Mirror and the Demon-Breaking Sword and gently wiped the dust off them. "Old friend, it seems we are destined to be together. You should continue to follow me."
"It's time for us, the Tianyi Sect, to make a name for ourselves in this world."
"Look, this way!"
Suddenly, an excited voice came from the other side of the mountain road. Jiang Chunian turned around abruptly, his eyes flashing like lightning.
Someone actually broke in?
