C4 The Cliffs

Speaking of which, the environment of the flat green mountain was indeed not bad. Although the mountain road was a bit rugged, the air was filled with water vapor, causing Shibao to feel refreshed and exhausted as he walked.

The breeze brought him a refreshing feeling. He didn't feel tired at all like when he was rushing down the mountain.

Shibao stopped and walked, and from time to time, took out the map that Lin Yuanfu had given him. Occasionally, he would meet a few mountain people who were chopping wood together and ask them the directions on the map. After turning around, it took him almost an hour and a half before he could see the destination he was looking for.

At this time, the sun was a bit glaring. Shibao stood on a one-meter-high boulder on the mountainside. He covered his forehead with his hand and squinted his eyes as he looked at a place that was less than three hundred meters in front of him. He could vaguely see a circular stone wall, and from afar, there seemed to be some patterns drawn on it.

Shibao smiled knowingly and wiped the sweat off his face. He thought to himself, Finally found it.

Immediately, Shibao jumped off the boulder and stabilized his body. He tightened the grip on the bamboo box behind him, took a deep breath, and ran towards the round stone wall.

After around half an incense stick of time, Shibao arrived in front of the circular stone wall. He panted heavily as he looked at the strange round stone wall in front of him.

The entire circular stone wall was a grayish green color, and it was covered in moss. Other than some pebbles and some weeds, there was nothing else.

But the strange thing was that the center of the circular stone wall was divided into two parts by a curve, like the shape of two little fish, with a head and a tail, which looked strange.

The two fish had one eye on each head, but there was a dark red stone bead on the head on the lower left. It was covered with mud, but if you looked at it closely, you could still see the red.

On the right side of the fish head, there was only a shallow gap. There was nothing like the beads on the head of the fish.

Overall, the feeling this round stone wall gave Shibao was that it was ordinary, but it gave off an indescribable strange feeling, as if it was very simple and unadorned, but not too attractive.

However, all of this didn't mean anything to the current Shibao.

Shibao frowned, a hint of struggle in his eyes, as if he was trying hard to recall something, but he couldn't think of anything in a short period of time.

After a while, Shibao's brows relaxed, and a light bulb lit up in his mind. Then, a figure appeared in his mind - the fortune-telling old man.

By the way, that old fortune-teller had a strange pattern on his clothes, exactly the same pattern on the stone round door. Could there be some connection between the two, and what did the mysterious pattern represent?

After a moment of doubt, Shibao could not think of anything. Unable to figure it out, Shibao threw it to the side and for some reason, he suddenly thought of something serious.

Shibao fumbled around in his clothes and took out an item. When he flipped open his hand, it was the green and black bead that Lin Yuanfu had given him yesterday.

He looked at the Green Ink Pearl in his hand and then looked at the small hole on the round stone door. Shibao seemed to be about to put the Green Ink Pearl on it, but his face was filled with hesitation.

He was worried that if he put the Green Ink Pearl into the hole and couldn't take it out, wouldn't he also lose the Green Ink Pearl?

However, even though Shibao's movements were a little slow, he still gritted his teeth and gently placed the Qing Mo Pearl in the gap of the round stone door. His expression was tense, but at the same time, it was also filled with anticipation.

Just like that, a few breaths of time had passed after Shibao had placed the Qing Mo Pearl in the hole in the fish's eye. However, there was no movement at all from the round stone door. A cool breeze blew past, and Shibao couldn't help but become anxious.

He thought to himself: Why is it different from what the old man said?

Seeing that there was no reaction from the stone round door, Shibao did not care about anything else and hurriedly reached out his finger, wanting to dig it out.

However, just as Shibao's finger was about to touch the Green Ink Pearl, both the Green Ink Pearl and the red pearl suddenly released a dim light, which lit up strangely. A red and a green light overlapped each other.

As the green and red lights faded, some strange patterns appeared on the stone round door. It dazzled Shibao, and was quite strange.

Seeing this, Shibao could not help but be startled. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly felt that something was amiss. Just as he was about to turn around and retreat, he felt as if a huge force had suddenly invaded his body, pushing him back a few feet, causing him to be in an extremely sorry state.

Shibao hurriedly rolled over and stood up, only to see that the two fish-shaped stone gates were slowly turning. The green light and the red light kept appearing, and the two halves of the stone gates seemed to come to life as they spun faster and faster. It was as if the two halves were about to fuse together.

After a few breaths of time, the stone door began to spin slower and slower. Shibao stared unblinkingly at the spinning stone door, as if he was afraid of missing something.

When the stone round door slowly stopped spinning, the red light and the green light disappeared.

After a series of "Ka Ka Ka" sounds, the round stone door flashed and slowly turned away from the curve in the middle.

After three breaths, the stone door was completely opened, and the body of the door shrank into the stone wall.

Seeing this scene, Shibao was bewildered. He straightened his body and looked into the cave. After looking for half a day, he only saw that at the entrance of the cave, there were many unknown green vines and some weeds. There was no end to the faint cave.

Shibao didn't know what to do now. Should he go in now, or...

Suddenly, Shibao thought of what Lin Yuanfu had told him yesterday.

"Little Bao, tomorrow you go to the western side of the Green Mountain ancestral tomb of Earth City, a place called'Snow Wall'.

When you get there, you will notice that there are two openings on the Twin Fish Wall. One of the openings is embedded with a dark red pearl, while the other one is not embedded with pearls.

Don't be surprised to find out that you'll be there tomorrow. Just place the Green Ink Pearl I gave you on the stone wall of the hole, and after that, don't think about anything else. Once the stone wall is open, you can go in and find the treasure that I told you about in the deepest part of the hole."

"Really? Elder Lin, you can't be lying to me, right? Also, if there really was a treasure placed in the cave like you said, wouldn't the stone wall have already been chiseled open and your treasure taken away?"

"Humph, you don't know what's good for you! How would you know that the stone wall was a treasure that weighed ten thousand pounds? The wall of fish was not something that could be opened by human hands. Unless you were a god, no one in the world could open the wall except for the Black Green Pearl in your hand.

Whether it's true or not, it's up to you whether you believe it or not. "

Shibao was about to ask who built the wall of fish, and what the reason was. But just as he was about to ask, he was interrupted by Lin Yuanfu, so he had no choice but to give up.

Now that he thought about it, there might be something that Elder Lin was hiding from him. Perhaps not only was there a treasure in the cave, there might also be another hidden treasure.

With this thought, Shibao finally made up his mind. He stood up with slight anticipation and walked towards the cave entrance step by step.

Perhaps it was because there was still some fear in his heart that he hesitated and slowly walked towards the cave entrance.

Shibao carefully stepped through the stone door as he suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Suddenly!

Boom!

The two halves of the stone door closed in an instant, and the surroundings instantly turned pitch black, without the slightest bit of light.

At this moment, Shibao was really a little stunned. He stood there for a long time without speaking, and his mind was buzzing, as if it was a mass of paste, and he was at a loss for what to do.

After a long time, when Shibao regained his senses, he hurriedly turned around and used his hands and feet to knock on the stone door.

However, only after a while did he truly realize what Lin Yuanfu had said. If it wasn't for the Qing Mo Pearl, the stone door might not have been able to be opened.

At this moment, Shibao was extremely afraid and could not help but curse: "You damn Elder Lin, turtle Lin, I... I'm not done with you ... I was wrong, let me out quickly, this place is too dark, I beg you, I was really wrong, I won't talk back to you anymore... "

...

He had scolded and threatened, and he had begged and begged. After more than an hour, there was still no movement. He could not help but wonder if he had guessed wrongly. Lin Yuanfu was not in the dark, or he did not come at all.

Just like that, Shibao's head went blank, and he thought about it for a while. It was not a good idea to continue like this. It was dark here, and it was quite scary to stay here for too long.

Shibao calmed himself down and slowly helped himself up from the stone door. He carried the bamboo box on his back and took out the fire piston to light it up. He walked carefully step by step, afraid that he would bump into a stone wall or trip over a stone.

Shibao walked with great difficulty, and in the time it took to make a cup of tea, he had only taken twenty or so steps.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Shibao gradually realized that there was a faint light in front of him, which gave him hope. Perhaps that was the exit.

"Damned Elder Lin, how dare you play with me like that? When I get out, I'll definitely get even with you. Hmph, I'll definitely get even with you!" Shibao muttered resentfully.

The further Shibao walked, the brighter the light became. Eventually, he could barely see his surroundings clearly.

Although it was much brighter than the places he had been at before, Shibao found that there was still a distance between him and the source of the light.

As a result, the anxious Shibao could no longer hold it in and began to run towards the end of the light.

As he ran, the flames of hope in Shibao's heart grew brighter and brighter.

Finally, Shibao saw that he was still more than ten meters away from the cave entrance where the light came from.

With that, Shibao sped up.

He had arrived, he had arrived!

As the bright cave entrance continued to enlarge in his eyes, Shibao was already shouting in his heart.

It was only natural that anyone who had been in the dark for so long in a dark place should suddenly see an exit in the light, let alone a child.

Shibao kept running towards the entrance of the cave.

The moment he rushed out of the cave, before he had the time to be happy, his eyes couldn't help but narrow, and his face was already green to the point that it was about to turn green. He was so scared that his soul was about to disappear.

[I was right! There must be something else!]

Shibao hurriedly stopped and retreated in panic. He accidentally tripped over a stone, and even the bamboo box he was carrying on his back fell to the ground far behind him.

Shibao did not care about any of this, and looked ahead with a face full of shock and doubt. He saw that there was a cliff twenty meters away from the cave entrance. When he got closer and looked down, he saw nothing but a hazy and unfathomable abyss.

And where Shibao was now was at the top of the cliff. It was neither big nor small, and was about a dozen meters in circumference.

Shibao gradually regained his senses and looked around the cliff with lingering fear.

There were some rocks of different sizes at the edge of the cliff, and the sides of the cave entrance were also covered with green vines.

There were green and red fruits on the vines, and they looked a bit weird. They were oval-shaped and looked like pears, but if one looked closely, they would find that they were very different from pears.

At this moment, Shibao was feeling quite uncomfortable in his heart. He originally thought that he had seen the end of hope, but who would have thought that his own hope would turn out to be a abyss of despair?

Suddenly, Shibao saw something.

He narrowed his eyes and saw a letter pressed against a rock on the edge of a cliff not far ahead. The breeze was gentle enough for Shibao to notice it.

Shibao got up stiffly, and carefully walked to the edge of the cliff. He picked up the letter, and quickly retreated, afraid that if he was careless and fell into the abyss, then his death would be too unjust.

Shibao flipped the letter over and looked at the cover. Shibao's face darkened. On the cover of the letter, there were three words "To Shibao."

That's right, this was definitely the handwriting on Elder Lin's head. Shibao would never mistake it.

Shibao hurriedly opened the letter and saw the words:

Ha, ha, Little Treasure, when you read this letter, I know how many times you've been cursing me in your heart, old man, but it doesn't matter, and I'll tell you something serious next, and you have to look at it.

I suppose you know by now that the story about Baby is a lie, and yes, Baby's story is a lie, and the purpose is to get you into this cave.

And the main reason why I tricked you into this cave was to let you learn some martial art, but you can choose not to learn it. Fifteen years from now, someone will set you free, and I mean it, don't think I'm joking with you.

You don't need to worry about food. You've seen it yourself, the green vines around the cave have fruits growing on them, and the fruits on the vines bear fruit once every seven days, enough for you to eat.

In fact, in general, it is very simple. You just need to practice the martial arts that I have prepared for you. When you reach the fourth stage, you will be able to break the stone door open with your own strength.

However, if you want to get out of this cave as soon as possible, then you have to be more diligent.

Finally, you take out everything in the bamboo box. There is a book about ancient characters in it. What you need to practice is the blue book on you.

However, you have to do the work of comparison yourself. I don't have time to translate it for you. Just do it yourself.

Remember, you have to endure the pain to be a great man. You have to be able to endure the loneliness! "

Shibao's face changed countless times as he read the letter. If there was a mirror, he would have been able to see how black his face was.

Shibao was already furious!

Damned Elder Lin, I'm not done with you ...
