The night sky in early summer was beautiful.
There were no clouds in the sky, and the sparkling stars shone with a moving light.
The sandalwood crickets took the place of the dragonpill crickets. They sang lyrical songs in the grass, by the mountain streams, and on the branches.
The Guyue village was lit up with lights, as if reflecting the starry sky.
Green bamboo buildings stood tall in the night wind, and under the starry sky, there was a peaceful and quiet atmosphere.
Fang Yuan was not in the village, but had snuck into the secret cave in the rock crack.
He half-knelt on the ground, his right hand on the screen wall, his palm emitting a ball of blue moonlight.
On the screen wall, the original image had disappeared, and it was no different from the surrounding stone walls. If not for Fang Yuan clearly remembering the location, who would know that the Flower Wine Monk's inheritance was hidden under the screen wall?
On the night of a month ago, the screen wall changed, and the Flower Wine Monk's secret treasure suddenly appeared. The screen wall first showed the Flower Wine Monk's blood-soaked body, threatening to leave behind an inheritance. Then there was a line of words in blood, reminding people that if they broke the screen wall, the cave would appear. After that, the words disappeared, and the power of the Photo-audio Gu on the screen wall was completely dissipated. The screen wall also returned to being a normal mountain wall.
Although he knew about the Flower Wine Monk's inheritance, Fang Yuan did not have the time to explore it.
Because of this accident, he killed Jia Jin Sheng on the spot, and that night he was busy cleaning up the scene. Then, to deal with the upcoming interrogation, he carefully set up a trap, and his activities were limited to the village.
Until Jia Fu left, the academy elder stopped the secret investigation. After more than ten days, the rumors died down, and Fang Yuan secretly snuck back here.
The Bronze Sea in his aperture slowly descended, and Fang Yuan mobilized waves of primeval essence, pouring it into the Moonlight Gu in his right palm.
The Moonlight Gu emitted a ball of gentle moonlight, and the moonlight flickered continuously. Under its effect, the stone wall was continuously shaved off, and large amounts of stone powder fell.
This was Fang Yuan's exquisite control of the Moonlight Gu. When he first opened the stone, he used this method.
Compared to stone opening, this method was rather crude. However, this method was a little too gentle when it came to breaking through this thick stone wall.
This was the sixth consecutive day that Fang Yuan had used the Moonlight Gu to grind the stone wall.
There was already a thick pile of dark red stone powder on the ground.
Logically speaking, the soil of Qing Mao Mountain was all green mud. However, the soil here was strangely crimson and emitted a dark light.
Fortunately, with this source of light, Fang Yuan did not need to prepare a torch.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Fang Yuan did not use any tools. Iron hammers and pickaxes were undoubtedly more convenient for him to break through the stone walls, but this way, the sound of the wall breaking would echo in the summer night.
Regardless of whether it sounded weak or loud from the outside, Fang Yuan had to put an end to these suspicions.
Details often determine success or failure.
For Fang Yuan, being cautious was more of a habit than a virtue.
In his previous life, he had been careless, but he soon learned a painful lesson. It is often said that the older a person is, the more timid he becomes. Actually, it wasn't that he was timid, but he was cautious and patient. After five hundred years, the word 'cautious' had been engraved into his bones.
"Huff …" Breathing heavily, Fang Yuan slowly stopped the infusion of primeval essence.
He sat down on the ground, he was really tired.
The entire image wall that was half a person's height had already been grinded away by him by three inches.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead, moving his shoulders and stretching his legs. Because he had been squatting for a long time, waves of numbness could be felt from his legs.
Dong dong dong.
Fang Yuan clasped his fingers and knocked on the stone wall.
Hearing this sound, he was slightly happy, knowing that the stone wall was getting thinner.
He then closed his eyes to calm down, feeling the situation in his aperture.
There was less than twenty percent of the green copper primeval sea left.
"Continue to work hard!" Fang Yuan gritted his teeth and stretched out his right hand again, touching the stone wall.
The aqua blue moonlight continued to shine for a quarter of an hour, and Fang Yuan's movements suddenly stopped. He moved his right hand away and happily found that there was a small hole in the stone wall.
He immediately stood up and kicked with his foot.
With a swoosh, the hole immediately expanded to the size of a bamboo basket.
Fang Yuan cautiously took a few steps back, he felt a stifling air gradually spreading out from the entrance of the cave, before spreading into this secret cave.
The ventilation of the secret cave was not good, so Fang Yuan thought for a while and chose to drill out of the crack, returning to the outside world.
After a long while, he finally turned around.
The stifling air in the secret cave was much better than before. Fang Yuan continued to widen the hole, sometimes using the Moonlight Gu, sometimes using his hands to pull, and sometimes using his feet to kick. After a while, he finally widened the hole to a size where he could easily enter.
Looking from the hole, there was a straight tunnel that slanted downwards.
The tunnel was not wide at the start, but it got wider the further down it went. When a person entered the tunnel, they had to bend their waist and lower their head, but when they reached the latter half of the tunnel, they could straighten their bodies and walk with large strides.
The four walls of the tunnel were also made of strange red soil, emitting a layer of dim red light. This allowed the scene in the tunnel to be clearly seen.
But the tunnel was very long, extending beyond his field of vision. Because of the angle, Fang Yuan could not see what was at the end of the tunnel.
He stood at the entrance of the tunnel and did not immediately step in, but squinted his eyes and stood on the spot.
Strength inheritance was different from inheritance.
Inheritance referred to the things left behind by a Gu Master after he died. The person who found the inheritance would usually obtain all the things on the corpse at once.
Strength inheritance referred to the Gu Master who was on the verge of death, did not want his own path to be extinct, or to benefit his descendants, or to leave a final mark in the world, and so on, and so on.
Taking the Flower Wine Monk as an example, the reason why he set up this inheritance was very clear, it was to nurture an avenger, to help him take revenge on the Guyue clan!
If the person in the future could pass these tests, they could obtain all sorts of benefits. The person who passed the final test would mean that he or she had obtained the complete strength inheritance.
According to the division of the strength inheritors, strength inheritances were naturally divided into righteous and demonic inheritances.
Righteous inheritances were usually designed to test the person's character and character. Those who failed midway would not have to worry about their lives.
Demonic inheritances were complicated.
Demonic cultivators were often crazy and stubborn, or cold and emotionless, or they killed people like flies, and could not be judged by common sense.
Some demonic inheritances were designed to test one's mind. There were many riddles, and many people would be stuck in it for their entire lives, thinking hard but to no avail.
Some demonic inheritances were extremely simple, just a secret room with Gu worms and Yuan stone placed inside.
Some demonic inheritances were extremely cruel, and failure midway often meant death.
What's more, some demonic lords' inheritances were simply lies, and were a huge trap in itself. They followed the principle of harming others without benefiting themselves, and even before they died, they would try their best to set up a trap for others.
"This inheritance of the Flower Wine Monk, what kind would it be?" Fang Yuan pondered.
He had his previous life's memories, and he was very clear about many famous demonic inheritances in the future. But this inheritance was not discovered by anyone in his previous life, and he knew nothing about it.
"Logically speaking, the possibility of it being a trap is not high. Otherwise, the Flower Wine Monk would not have designed this image wall. But would there be a trap? "
Fang Yuan picked up a piece of rock and threw it into the cave.
The rock bumped against each other in the tunnel, and quickly rolled out of Fang Yuan's sight. He could only hear a series of sounds echoing in the tunnel.
Fang Yuan was deep in thought. The result of throwing the rock to test the road seemed to be safe.
But he still did not enter the tunnel, and instead took out some stone powder, and evenly scattered it near the entrance of the tunnel that he had just opened. At the same time, he sprinkled a thin layer at the entrance of the secret cave's stone crack.
Then he drilled through the narrow stone crack at the entrance, and left this place.
In an extremely hidden bush a few hundred meters away from the riverbank, he found the green bamboo wine that he had brought with him this time. He opened the wine jar, and fiercely drank a mouthful, and then purposely spilled some of the wine, wetting his clothes and making him smell of alcohol.
Carrying the wine jar, he returned to the village. When he reached the dormitory, it was exactly midnight.
If he often did not return for a night, it would arouse suspicion. This was very good, going out in the first half of the night, and returning in the second half of the night.
When he was looking for the Liquor worm, Fang Yuan had already done this. With a previous record, this kind of behavior was not out of the ordinary.
The stars disappeared, and the sun rose. The night was silent.
