Chapter 221 Broken Stone Gate
The fourth brother, Zhao Han, volunteered to be the first to step forward and deal with the monk on guard.
He was seen approaching the man slowly and nimbly from behind, and under the guidance of Wang Zhuo and others, he successfully avoided the alert area of the sentry monks.
Sneaking behind the sentry monk, Zhao Han took out a talisman and suddenly cast it at the sentry monk. Suddenly, a entanglement spell appeared in front of the monk, and the green vines breaking out of the ground attracted his attention.
At this moment, Zhao Han stabbed the monk on guard with the iron spear in his hand quickly, hitting him directly in the heart, and the monk died instantly.
Zhao Han carefully pulled the body of the sentry monk into the forest, and then gestured to Mo Juren and the other five to go and meet him.
Then Zhao Han raised something in his hand and said to everyone,
"These two notes are the sound transmission notes that the sentinel monk put in his arms. They should be used to notify the people inside."
Wang Zhuo took it and looked at it, then said,
"This is a long-distance sound transmission note. I'm afraid Diao Yuanzheng and the others have already gone deep inside and started looking for treasure."
Mo Juren was even more anxious, because the Nuan Yang Jade in his arms was emitting light and heat frequently, one after another, which made him suspect that several formations had been triggered in the place of inheritance.
Fortunately, Wang Zhuo made a prompt decision and said,
"In this case, there is no need for us to hide it. Even if we go in openly, it is reasonable for us to get a share of the pie based on our strength. Let's go!"
After saying that, Wang Zhuo took his five friends and Mo Juren and went straight to the top of Yuntai Mountain.
When they reached the mountainside, they indeed spotted another monk on sentry duty.
Six people suddenly appeared in a swagger. Seeing this, the man hurriedly wanted to take out the sound transmission note to warn, but Wang Zhuo shouted,
"How dare you! If you dare to send a telepathic message, our Mengshan Five Friends will surely die on the spot!"
The man was stopped and was obviously stunned.
Wang Zhuo and others took advantage of the situation to surround him, and the second brother Xie Hong said,
"They are looking for treasure inside, and you are the only ones left to keep watch. Why would you risk your life for such a small gain? Put down the sound transmission talisman quickly. We will not kill you."
The man didn't know whether he was inspired by his second brother's words or heard the name of the Five Friends of Mengshan, but he knew that he would die if he resisted, so he immediately put down the sound transmission note and pretended to surrender.
Wang Zhuo and others put away the talisman for transmitting sound, and really let the sentry monk go.
Mo Juren saw that behind the man, a stone door had been opened in a smooth stone wall on the mountainside.
There were a lot of rubble scattered on the ground, which showed that the stone gate was completely covered by stones before. Only after someone broke the surface stones did an entrance appear.
The two stone doors were only the size of the door frames of an ordinary room. They were tightly closed at this time, and I didn't know whether they were locked.
The location here is exactly what Mo Juren saw when he came to investigate before. The back of the mountain is the ancestral land of the Mo family, and where the secret passage is located.
It seems that Diao Yuanzheng really got there first. If he could go directly into the innermost part with his foundation-building skills, he would most likely obtain the inheritance of the Medicine Sect, and Mo Juren would definitely be heartbroken.
After all, he was the only one in the Mohist school who had succeeded in cultivating immortality for so long, and he was only one step away from building a foundation. How could he be willing to let the Mohist legacy that was right before his eyes be taken away by people like Diao Yuanzheng!
Next, Wang Zhuo and the others asked the captured monk who surrendered, "What is this place? What's the situation inside? How long have Diao Yuanzheng and the others been in there? Talk to us, and if you cooperate, we won't make things difficult for you!"
The monk on guard let out a sigh of relief and answered honestly.
It turned out that Diao Yuanzheng had really brought people in.
This place was originally a barren mountain and wilderness, but Diao Yuanzheng set up a strange formation on the spot and after a few divinations, he quickly pointed out the stone wall.
After ordering his men to smash the stones on the surface, the stone door was opened. Diao Yuanzheng and his men, together with more than twenty independent cultivators, all went in, leaving only three people to keep watch.
As for where that place was, Diao Yuanzheng only vaguely said it was a legacy left by predecessors, but did not elaborate.
These wandering cultivators were all deceived and forced to come here by Diao Yuanzheng using both soft and hard tactics. Many of them were unwilling to take the risk. After all, even if they got the treasure, they would definitely not get a share. However, they were all forced to come in by Diao Yuanzheng and his men.
At the beginning, there was the sound of a large amount of mana bombarding inside, but now it is getting farther and farther away. I'm afraid they have gone deep inside.
Fifth sister Qin Xiaorong listened while groping around the stone gate with Zhao Han, and then said in surprise,
"Brother, this stone door doesn't seem to be closed and can be pushed open at any time!"
The second brother Xie Hong took action immediately and knocked the monk on guard unconscious with a palm, then went forward with everyone to look at the stone gate.
Now that they were already here, there was no reason not to go in, so the eldest brother Wang Zhuo asked everyone to prepare their magic weapons and be prepared to deal with disputes at any time. Then he pushed open the stone door and rushed in first.
Mo Juren had explored the road once before and knew the situation inside. It was full of formations that blocked anyone entering, which was also a test.
As long as he gets inside, Mo Juren can easily pass through these formations with the Nuan Yang Jade, and then he can respond flexibly to prevent Diao Yuanzheng and his group from taking the treasure.
After the six people entered the cave, they saw that there was fire lighting inside.
This is a passage opened up between rocks. There is a row of eternal lamps hanging on the wall. They should automatically ignite when they come into contact with air, and they are still burning.
They formed a battle formation, with Wang Zhuo, Zhao Han and Xie Hong in the front and the others at the back. They divided into two groups, front and back, and slowly moved forward.
After passing through the passage, everyone came to the first large space. This should have been a huge porch with double stone doors.
The first one was a double stone door. The stone was thin and light, and now it had been broken and pushed to the ground. It was obvious that it had been broken open by a huge force, and even the door hinges were broken.
The second one is a sliding door that opens and closes. It is made of a very thick and heavy stone. It was originally supposed to be fixed on the ground, but now it has been lifted into the air, leaving the lower half of the door for people to pass through.
It seems that these two stone doors should be the first checkpoints to enter this cave, and they have been successfully broken open by the people in front.
The three leading people were not very interested in the two doors. They just took a casual look and continued to lead the team forward.
Mo Juren, who was lagging behind, stepped forward to take a closer look, then lifted up the lighter stone door that had been flipped over. He saw words written on the front of both doors, which read "Look, Listen, Ask, and Feel" and "Medicine, Witchcraft, Divination, and Medicine".
It really is worthy of being the place where the Medicine Sect’s inheritance is passed down. It gets straight to the point right from the start, Mo Juren thought to himself.
