The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

The Yiqi grass grows about ten feet below the cliff, where there is a protruding stone.

Hua Wu Ke wrapped one end of the whip around himself, while Ye Buhuo held the other end tightly in his hand, and then jumped onto the stone.

After pulling out the Yiqi grass, Ye Buhuo was about to pull Hua Wuke up when suddenly Hua Wuke cried out in surprise.

"Oh, this place is so weird!"

Hua Wu Ke found that the stone wall in front of her seemed a little loose. She reached out and pushed it. The stone wall trembled for a moment, then suddenly slid open, and a cave appeared in front of her.

"look!"

Hua Wu Ke raised his head and looked at Ye Buhuo in surprise.

Ye Buhuo jumped down upon hearing this, and then walked inside side by side with Hua Wuke.

The cave was originally pitch black, but Ye Buhuo took out a fire starter and lit the lamp on the stone wall, and the inside instantly became bright.

The two walked along the cave and soon reached the corner.

After the corner is a stone staircase that winds downwards.

The stone stairs were very narrow and the two people walked one after the other.

The cave was very empty, with only the sound of two people's footsteps echoing in the cave.

After walking for a while, the two seemed to have finally reached the bottom.

At the bottom was a small circular open space with a stone platform in the middle. On the stone platform was a box. Ye Buhuo used his sword to pry open the lid of the box, revealing some jade jewels.

The two men did not touch the box of jewelry, but instead surrounded the stone platform to examine it.

Looking from the outside, the stone platform is completely connected to the ground, forming a seamless whole.

Ye Buhuo knocked it gently with the hilt of the sword, and a twang-twang-twang sound came out, and one could vaguely hear that there were some holes inside.

Hua Wu Ke said:

“There should be some mechanism here.”

Ye Buhuo nodded, holding the edge of the stone platform with one hand, standing firmly on the ground with both feet. He exerted force with his hands and vaguely heard the sound of gears turning from the stone platform.

The 'boom boom' sound became more and more obvious.

Suddenly the stone platform moved. Ye Buhuo protected Hua Wuke, and the two retreated to a place farther away from the stone platform.

The stone platform began to move slowly, and in less than a moment, a black hole appeared under the platform.

Hua Wu Ke picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it into the cave. After a long time, the sound of the stone falling to the ground was heard.

Judging from the sound, the cave entrance is only about one person's height deep.

Ye Buhuo jumped in first and then lit the oil lamp on the stone wall.

Sure enough, there was a passage below that was about one person tall.

Hua Wu Ke jumped down and into Ye Buhuo's arms.

The two looked up and discovered the exquisiteness of the stone platform.

Fortunately, I didn’t pick up the box of treasure just now.

Once the box is picked up, the stone platform will fall down, blocking the entrance and it will never be opened again.

After Hua Wu Ke stood firmly, Ye Buhuo led the way with his head slightly lowered, and the two walked forward together.

The secret passage was a bit narrow, so the two men walked forward cautiously, guarding against any unexpected traps.

After walking for a while, the two did not encounter any traps.

The road ahead became wider and wider, and the light became brighter and brighter.

"There seems to be nothing in here."

Hua Wu Ke said as he looked at the cave entrance in front of him.

Ye Buhuo didn't expect that such a secret passage was actually empty.

“Maybe someone has been here.”

"Fortunately, I got the Qi-boosting grass."

The two put aside their doubts and walked towards the light.

Just as they were about to reach the cave entrance, the stones under their feet suddenly loosened.

The stone moved away and the two men fell down instantly.

Ye Buhuo held Hua Wuke tightly with one hand and held his sword with the other hand, trying to insert it into the stone wall to stabilize his falling momentum.

But the stone wall was not only smooth but also very hard, and even Ye Buhuo's sword could not penetrate it.

Seeing that he was falling faster and faster, Ye Buhuo turned over.

He lay on his back, letting Hua Wu Ke lie in his arms.

Suddenly, Ye Buhuo’s back seemed to hit hard on some branch.

The branch was bent down hard by the two people, pressed to the lowest point, and then bounced back, throwing the two people high into the air.

Hua Wu Ke opened his eyes and found that there was a very thick tree catching them.

Ye Buhuo sat up holding Hua Wuke and looked at the tree beneath them.

The tree was tall, but not tall enough to stop the two of them.

The two of them jumped down from the tree together.

When he landed, Ye Buhuo actually staggered a bit.

"You are hurt."

Just as he landed on the branch, Hua Wu Ke vaguely heard Ye Buhuo groan.

He fell from such a high place, with himself in his arms, and even if he fell on a tree, he would definitely be injured.

Hua Wu Ke quickly helped Ye Buhuo sit under the tree.

Ye Buhuo leaned against the tree trunk, meditated for a while to regulate his internal breath, and temporarily suppressed the pain.

But he could feel that the atmosphere inside was still a little chaotic.

While Ye Buhuo was meditating, Hua Wuke was looking at him worriedly.

His face looked even paler because of the injury, and his thin pink lips were tightly pursed.

Hua Wu Ke would wipe the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves from time to time.

Finally, Ye Buhuo opened his eyes.

Hua Wu Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

The two men stood up and walked around the cave.

The cave is not very big and is round in shape.

In the middle is the big tree, with a pond on each side of the tree.

One is a somewhat warm hot spring, and the other is an ordinary pool with many fish and shrimps swimming in it.

There is also a stone cave on the surrounding stone walls, inside which there is a stone bed and two books.

The only entrance in the entire cave is where Hua Wuke and Ye Buhuo fell.

Light came down from there and landed on the green leaves, and the entire tree canopy was glowing green.

The cave entrance is too high, and even someone with extremely advanced martial arts skills would not be able to fly up.

The Yiqi grass had to be delivered to Feng Mansion as soon as possible, and Hua Wuke couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Ye Buhuo picked two red fruits from the tree, wiped them clean and put them in Hua Wu Ke's hand, then smoothed Hua Wu Ke's slightly wrinkled brows.

"Those books are all martial arts secrets. Once you learn them, you can get out."

Just when he went to investigate the environment, Ye Buhuo picked up the book beside the stone bed and flipped through it. He could vaguely see that it was a very profound martial arts secret book.

Ye Buhuo's martial arts was already the best in the Ye Kingdom, but he couldn't understand this martial arts secret book at a glance.

So he concluded that by learning the martial arts from these secret books, he would be able to break into the cave.

Hua Wuke unconditionally trusts Ye Buhuo's judgment.

The two men caught a fish from the pond and picked some wild fruits from the tree.

After filling their stomachs, they went into the cave and began to practice.

The stone bed was very large, and it was more than enough for two people to sit five feet apart.

The two books are about different martial arts, one for internal cultivation and the other for external cultivation.

Not only are these two martial arts different, they also counteract each other. If one practices both of these secret books, one will definitely go astray.

The two of them read the book over and over again.

Finally, a decision was made.
