most charming

Before Lin Tao came to the cave, he heard the sound of "huhu". He realized that there is still a larger interior space in the cave, otherwise there would not be such a strong air flow.

The Kongling sword became longer in his hand, Lin Tao poked it on the ground and found it was solid, so he stepped on it.

The entrance of the cave is only about one and a half meters, and Lin Tao has to bend over to get in, but even so, it is much more comfortable than walking the path between the cliffs.

Walking a few steps into the cave and turning left, a gap naturally formed by the extrusion of the mountain appeared in front of Lin Tao, requiring him to walk sideways again.

The cave was pitch black, but with Lin Tao's eyesight level, he could barely see clearly.The Kongling sword retracted to its original size, Lin Tao moved his shoulders, took a deep breath, and slowly squeezed sideways into the gap.

There are protruding rocks on the front and back, which make the back and chest very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Lin Tao is "invulnerable". If he were to be replaced by an ordinary person, it would take only a few meters, and he would have to cut a few big gashes on his body.

Lin Tao moved forward little by little, and there was a little light in the distance. He even wondered if he had gone around the mountain, otherwise how could there be light on the back of the mountain?

Lin Tao has spent a lot of time on this journey, and he doesn't intend to waste too much time in the gap between the mountains.So, no matter how long the gap existed, or whether it was of historical significance, when he turned his wrist, the silver light flashed in front of his eyes, and the protruding rocks on both sides were flattened.

Walking all the way and cutting all the way, Lin Tao's forward speed suddenly increased, and he was getting closer and closer to the bright light ahead.

The farther you go, the brighter the light becomes. It turns from a bright spot into a ball, and then continues to expand. When Lin Tao comes close, there is an exit with a height of about two meters.

At the same time, Lin Tao was also stunned by the mirror image in front of him.

Surrounded by icy rock walls, various grotesque lines have been formed due to the extrusion of the mountain.Tens of meters above the head, an oval-shaped opening can see the outside situation, and the bright stars and the bright moonlight are clearly visible.The bright light seen in the gap is formed by the moonlight, and the angle that the moon is pointing at now is just in front of the hole, so it looks abnormally bright.

This is basically a tiankeng, deeply embedded in the mountain of Genshan, and it is difficult to find it from the outside.

And these are nothing, Lin Tao is surprised that the area of ​​the tiankeng is quite large, almost as big as two or three football fields, the bottom of the pit is full of birds and flowers, and the trees are lush, it is a summer scene, and it is completely two seasons with the outside .

There are steps slanting down from the entrance of the cave, which are rough cut, but enough for people to walk to the bottom of the pit.

As soon as he came to the bottom of the pit, a damp breath rushed towards his face, and he stepped on the thick soil. Lin Tao couldn't believe that this was a natural sinkhole, and it was basically formed by man.

But since it is man-made, who has such a large capital to dig such a sinkhole in the mountain?

Unless it is using modern technology, it is difficult!

Lin Tao searched the bottom of the pit and saw two monkeys and some unknown birds. They were not afraid of people at all, and the two monkeys stared at him cutely, their eyes full of curiosity.

But it was just curiosity, and after a while, I felt bored, and soon left with my companions.

Lin Tao turned more than half a circle counterclockwise, and a "rumbling" sound suddenly sounded in his ears, not far away from him.

After walking forward for tens of meters, Lin Tao got out of the small woods, and his eyes suddenly brightened. It was a flat land of tens of square meters, covered with flowers and plants, and a stream of water as thick as an arm crashed down from the cliff and hit the pool below. There, the drop is five or six meters, forming a natural waterfall.

With water flow, the air humidity in the vicinity is even greater. Lin Tao stepped forward. He was standing by the edge of the pool, was there any water droplets splashing on his body?

The water pool is clear, almost one meter deep, with dark stones of difficult size underneath.

There are dug channels on the walls on both sides of the pool, which flow along the walls so that the water in the pool will never overflow.

Since there are traces of excavation, it is obviously artificial. Lin Tao is more and more sure that his judgment is correct, and this tiankeng is artificially formed.

Could it be a monk?

If it is really a monk, then this tiankeng was formed a long time ago, and there may even be some traces of Taoism.

Thinking of this, Lin Tao carefully looked around, except for the flowers and plants, there was really nothing worth noting.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed in the corner of his eyes so that he couldn't open his eyes. Lin Tao squinted his eyes in disbelief, and immediately stared at the light.

Among the many flowers and plants, there is a strange flower and plant that is only less than ten centimeters high but covered with more than a dozen leaves. The outermost leaves reflect dazzling light under the moonlight.

Lin Tao bent down and changed the angle so that the reflection of the moonlight was not so strong, so he walked slowly.

It's really just like what Yuan Lao said, this strange herb should be the star grass, it really grows in the crevices of the raised stones, not in the soil like other flowers and plants.

The gap between the rocks was wide enough, and Lin Tao stretched out his fingers to poke in it for a long time, but he couldn't touch the roots of the star grass. Could it be that after decades, the roots of the grass have been deeply embedded in the rock?

Lin Tao shrunk the Void Spirit Sword to the size of a screwdriver, and slowly cut off the surrounding raised rocks, being careful not to let the blade touch the Star Grass.One dug down more than ten centimeters, and finally saw the roots deep in the soil in the crevices of the rocks.

Lin Tao was more careful, and finally pulled out the roots of the star grass. In order to ensure the efficacy of the medicine, he also deliberately left some soil on the roots.

Wrapping the Tianxing grass in silk, Lin Tao put it away next to his body, stood up and searched around, but still found nothing special.

"Shouldn't be!"

Lin Tao felt strange. Although Mr. Yuan's words were false, he allowed himself to find the Astral Grass after all, which proved the existence of this thing, which meant that at least he wasn't fooling around.

However, Lin Tao did not believe that Mr. Yuan could come here in person because of the danger of coming here. He must have seen it from ancient records, or passed it down by word of mouth from his elders.

If no one has been there, and the tiankeng is man-made, there should be some traces, and it is impossible not to find any.

Lin Tao was not reconciled, and he finally came here once, so he couldn't return empty-handed.

He continued to walk counterclockwise, searching for unknown areas.

Passing through a small forest again, Lin Tao stopped. There was a huge hole in the mountain in front of him, and there were words on it, but it should be very old, and it is already impossible to distinguish.

There are more than ten steps in front of the cave, Lin Tao went up step by step, he suddenly had a feeling, isn't this the "immortal cave" that often appears in movies and TV shows?

Lin Tao even wondered for a while whether this would be a dedicated venue for filming.

Then he was amused by his nonsensical thoughts, there was no such possibility in this kind of place where the birds don't shit.

Lin Tao walked inside, and the cave was very quiet. Suddenly, there was a "poof", and the torch on the left wall turned on out of thin air.

Holding the Void Spirit Sword tightly, Lin Tao felt more and more strange here, so he was always ready to fight.

A dozen or so steps forward, there was another "poof", and the torch on the right wall was automatically ignited.

Nine torches were lit along the way, and Lin Tao came to the end.

Inside is an extremely spacious stone room, with tables, chairs and stone beds cut from various stones, and some animal bones are scattered on the ground. Judging from the skeletons, they should all be ferocious carnivores.

On one side of the wall, there is a raised stone platform with a metal box on it. Lin Tao stepped forward to look carefully. It was a copper box with exquisite workmanship. Unfortunately, he was not familiar with ancient crafts, otherwise he would say It may not be possible to recognize which dynasty it is.

The metal box was 20 centimeters square, with a round top cover, locked with a large lock.

Lin Tao reached out and touched some of the boxes. His hands were cold, but other than that, he felt nothing.Regardless of whether it was left by the ancients or a true ascetic, it seems that there is no danger now.

With a flash of silver light, the Kongling Sword's iron-like mud-sharp blade chopped off the big lock. Before it hurt the metal box, Lin Tao controlled the force just fine.

He opened the lid with the tip of his sword, and inside was a crystal clear jade bottle with a stopper at the mouth and wax sealed around it.There are dozens of small dark brown pills inside the jade bottle, which look very round and have not become shriveled over time.

"Could it be the legendary pill?"

Lin Tao stepped forward to examine it carefully, thought for a long time, and finally reached out and took the jade bottle in his hand.

I don't know if I don't pick it up, but when I pick it up, I find that the jade bottle is so heavy. The things inside don't seem to be heavy, how can it be so heavy?

And just as Lin Tao picked up the jade bottle, an angry roar came from outside the cave.

Lin Tao was startled immediately, and then felt the ground trembling strongly. Could it be that he touched the jade bottle, but touched a certain mechanism instead?

Lin Tao knew that he could not hesitate at this time, so he put the jade bottle in his pocket and ran out of the cave quickly.

The tremor under his feet became more and more obvious. Lin Tao ran towards the entrance without hesitation. The gap in the mountain was so narrow that no matter what kind of monster it was, it would definitely not be able to get in. That would be the best place for Lin Tao to get rid of the pursuit.

"Hiss..."

The boa constrictor, which was more than 20 meters long and over 2 meters thick, went straight to the direction of the cave.

The whole body of the boa constrictor is snow-white, with only a red line between the eyes extending back to the end of the tail.

The boa constrictor is huge, and it leaves deep marks after coiling on the ground, and its speed is extremely fast.The poor flowers and trees were seedlings, they were pretended to be rickety, and some were even broken in the middle.

The boa constrictor came to the entrance of the cave at an extremely fast speed, coiled its body in a circle, raised its head high, spit out a huge letter, and shook lightly in the air.

Soon, as if it had discovered something, it immediately looked in the direction of Lin Tao's escape, opened its huge mouth and let out an even more angry roar, and then fell heavily on the ground, its coiled body suddenly bounced, and flew towards Lin Tao. Lin Tao chased after him.
