The next morning, birds were singing and flowers were blooming.
As soon as Ji Xiuzhu woke up early in the morning, he smelled the aroma of barbecue.
So, unable to resist the craving for food, I headed towards the source of the fragrance.
Although she is now practicing fasting and does not need to eat anything and will not feel hungry, if there is something in front of her, she will feel greedy if she does not eat it.
Ji Xiuzhu followed the smell to the outside of the cave and saw Cui Yunshen roasting a chicken.
I saw that the roast chicken in his hand had been roasted to golden brown, the golden oil was sizzling, and the air was filled with fragrance from time to time.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Ji Xiuzhu's stomach started growling when he smelled the scent.
Cui Yunshen smiled when he saw this, and handed her a chicken leg: "Master, are you awake? Come and try it, it's a freshly killed pheasant, it's very fresh."
Ji Xiuzhu took the chicken leg, took a bite, and couldn't help but praise: "Delicious! You are worthy of being like this. Every meal you cook is based on my taste. Not bad, not bad."
The two of them ate roast chicken and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
At this moment, Ji Xiuzhu suddenly noticed the wound on Cui Yunshen's hand.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Ji Xiuzhu asked with concern.
Cui Yunshen looked down at his hand, then smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I just accidentally scratched it. It's inevitable that there will be some bumps and bruises in the mountains and forests, it's normal."
Ji Xiuzhu's heart tightened, and he pulled Cui Yunshen's hand and looked at it carefully.
I saw a long cut on his hand, which was obviously fresh because blood was still oozing out.
"Why are you so careless?" Ji Xiuzhu frowned, took out a bottle of medicine from his arms, and gently applied it on Cui Yunshen's wound.
Cui Yunshen looked at Ji Xiuzhu who was applying medicine to him and couldn't help but look at him twice more.
After applying the medicine, Ji Xiuzhu took out a piece of white cloth from his bag and carefully bandaged Cui Yunshen's wound.
"Thank you, Master." Cui Yunshen said softly.
"Be careful next time." Ji Xiuzhu warned, with a trace of heartache in his eyes.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, bringing a little coolness. Ji Xiuzhu looked up at the sky and found that the sun was already at its zenith.
"It's getting late, we should set off. Are you feeling better? Can you continue on your journey?" Ji Xiuzhu stood up and brushed off the dust on his body.
"Much better, Master. I can do it." Cui Yunshen nodded and stood up.
Ji Xiuzhu heard this and nodded.
So they continued their journey. Along the way, Ji Xiuzhu was very worried about Cui Yunshen's injuries and looked back at him from time to time.
Cui Yunshen followed silently behind him with a thoughtful look on his face.
In the evening, they finally arrived at the next treasure location.
As the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, Ji Xiuzhu and Cui Yunshen stood on a barren plain.
This was once a fertile land, but now only weathered rocks and dry riverbeds remain.
And the legendary treasure is hidden somewhere in this desolate place.
Ji Xiuzhu looked around, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
She knew that such treasures were often accompanied by dangers.
She turned to Cui Yunshen and said, "Little brat, be careful. The smell here is a little weird, we have to be careful."
Cui Yunshen nodded, his eyes swept around, and the sword in his hand was quietly unsheathed.
"Master, I feel a weak fluctuation of spiritual power. The treasure should be nearby."
So they began to explore the plain carefully, taking every step with extreme caution.
Ji Xiuzhu's spiritual sense was like a big net, covering an area of hundreds of meters around her. Any abnormal fluctuations could not escape her perception.
Suddenly, she frowned and whispered to Cui Yunshen, "Be careful, something is approaching."
Cui Yunshen immediately focused his attention and became alert, holding the sword tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any possible enemy at any time.
However, they waited for a while but did not find any movement. Ji Xiuzhu's consciousness did not capture any signs of life.
"Strange, I clearly sensed it just now, is it my illusion?" Ji Xiuzhu said to herself, but then she shook her head. Her intuition had never been wrong.
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook and a crack quickly spread under their feet.
Ji Xiuzhu reacted quickly, grabbing Cui Yunshen, and they both jumped up at the same time, avoiding the crack.
"It seems that we are not hallucinating." Cui Yunshen said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the crack, and saw an ancient stone tablet slowly rising from the crack.
The stone tablet was engraved with strange runes and emitted a faint green light.
Ji Xiuzhu and Cui Yunshen looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. This stone tablet was obviously related to the treasure they were looking for.
Ji Xiuzhu walked forward and gently touched the runes on the stone tablet.
She could feel the powerful power contained in the runes. This power was ancient and mysterious, and it made her heart beat faster.
"Master, I have never seen the runes on this stone tablet. How can we decipher it?" Cui Yunshen asked, his eyes full of anticipation.
Ji Xiuzhu pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "This is an ancient restriction. I have seen this restriction once before on the top floor of the Sutra Library when I was in the sect. We need to find the right way to activate it."
When she said she had seen it, she actually meant that the original owner had seen it when she was young, secretly learning martial arts on the top floor.
But only once.
It’s no wonder that the original owner was such a genius. She actually still remembered the method to break the restriction even though she had only seen it once.
She slowly closed her eyes and began to sense the flow of power on the stone tablet.
She slid her fingers lightly over the rune, and it began to glow a brighter green as she touched it.
Suddenly, the stone tablet made a low roar, and the entire plain shook.
Ji Xiuzhu and Cui Yunshen stared at the stone tablet closely, and saw it slowly rotate, revealing a hidden hole.
"It seems we have found the entrance." Ji Xiuzhu opened his eyes, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
Cui Yunshen followed closely behind, and the two of them stepped into the cave together, although they did not know what dangers lay in the cave.
Inside the cave entrance, there is a winding stone staircase that seems to lead to the depths of the earth.
Ji Xiuzhu and Cui Yunshen lit the fireflies in their hands. For a moment, the faint fluorescence jumped in the cave, reflecting the determined faces of the two men.
"Follow me closely." Ji Xiuzhu whispered. Although her voice was low, it kept echoing in the empty cave.
On the walls on both sides of the stone steps, there are some ancient murals carved, depicting some creatures and scenes that Ji Xiuzhu has never seen before.
These murals connected one story after another, but Ji Xiuzhu had no time to study them in detail at the moment. All her attention was focused on the possible dangers ahead.
