Two treasure maps

Chapter 143 Entering the cave

On the steep canyon platform, Guo Lingli, Leng Xing and Yin Jing watched the six-winged divine eagle disappear into the depths of the valley, their hearts filled with regret.

They had originally thought that they could rely on it to fly back to the top of the canyon, but now that had become a pipe dream. They could only helplessly adjust their breathing and adapt themselves to the strange phenomenon of the chaotic spiritual energy in this area.

Fortunately, the platform they were on was not affected by the suction force below, and the three were not injured. When everything was ready, they began to carefully observe the surrounding Grand Canyon.

I saw that the depth of the platform was connected to a cave, and the cave was shining with golden light, as if a treasure was about to come out of the world. Not far from the cave, another mountain wall was shining with rosy clouds, as if there were fairies practicing there.

The three of them did not rush into the cave to search for treasure, but looked around and discovered a strange phenomenon: there was a mirror-like mountain wall opposite the canyon, which cleverly reflected the golden light in the cave and the glow of the sunset next to it.

After several refractions, the two rays of light finally converge on the smooth mountain wall, and then refract above the canyon, bathing the entire canyon in dazzling light.

Under this wonderful mirror effect, the golden light and the glow of the sunset glow not only did not weaken, but became even more dazzling.

Yin Jing held a folding fan in his hand and gently waved it, frowning and asking doubtfully, "Do you think this is just a coincidence?"

Leng Xing said in a deep voice: "Whether it is a coincidence or not, there must be treasures here. The one that caught our eyes must be extraordinary."

Yin Jing looked up at the top of the canyon, as if thinking about how to get up.

Guo Lingli also looked up, her heart filled with worry: "The six-winged divine eagle has fallen, how are we going to get up there in the future?"

Silver Mirror chuckled and said, "Don't ask questions like this that no one can answer. Let's think about how we should divide the treasures here."

Speaking of the distribution of treasures, Leng Xing's expression became serious: "Guo Lingli's six-winged divine eagle is gone, so her share will naturally be reduced. As for you and me, I'm afraid we'll have to compete with each other."

Yin Jing glanced at Guo Lingli and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that we are all in danger. And if you want to go up, I'm afraid you still need to rely on us."

Guo Lingli's eyes moved between Yin Jing and Leng Xing, and she asked in surprise, "Can you go up?"

Leng Xing frowned and looked at the silver mirror in confusion.

Yin Jing laughed loudly and said, "Of course, it's just a waste of a few magic weapons."

Leng Xing and Guo Lingli stood together and said to Yin Jing, "Yin Jing, this is a bit unkind. Since we can go up, why should we go to the trouble of taming the six-winged divine eagle? Do you know the danger involved?"

Silver Mirror waved his fan and said, "You didn't ask me. Didn't you want to use the six-winged divine eagle? What does it have to do with me?"

Leng Xing sneered and said sarcastically: "It seems that I still underestimated you. I wonder what kind of explanation you are going to give us?"

Yin Jing said calmly, "What is there to explain? After entering the golden cave, everyone will rely on their own abilities."

Leng Xing glanced at Guo Lingli and said, "Each one relies on his own ability? What ability do you think she has to rely on our own ability?"

Yin Jing closed the folding fan and said, "There is a code of conduct for thieves. I guarantee that she goes up, and you guarantee what she gets."

Leng Xing thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay, give her some from me. But you have to make sure both of us get up safely."

Yin Jing said with a grin, "Leng Xing, how come I never knew that you were also a calculating person? I promise that if you go up, I will also give you a share of the pie. Isn't that too much?"

Leng Xing sneered and said, "If you want to get the things in the golden cave smoothly, be nice to me. Otherwise, I will mess with you, and I'm afraid that no matter what is inside, you will have a hard time getting it."

Yin Jing knew that what he said made sense, so he compromised and said, "Then let's make it a deal."

Guo Lingli finally understood their plan. She asked, "Do you mean I can take whatever I want in there?"

Leng Xing glanced at her and said, "How much can you, a person with such low cultivation, take? No matter how much you take, it's mine."

Silver Mirror also nodded in agreement: "That's right."

The three of them smiled at each other and walked towards the cave shining with golden light, each of them thinking about their next move in their minds.

The golden light at the entrance of the cave was like a brilliant firework, attracting the attention of people from outside. However, when they actually stepped into this mysterious cave, the once heart-moving light became unusually dim, as if swallowed up by the darkness inside the cave.

Yin Jing, Leng Xing and Guo Lingli all looked solemn the moment they stepped into the cave.

Silver Mirror first took out a night-shining pearl, the faint light it emitted swayed in the darkness, guiding the direction ahead.

Leng Xing stayed behind vigilantly, ready to deal with any unknown dangers that might arise.

Guo Lingli walked in the middle, her eyes carefully observing every corner of the cave in the dim light.

As he went deeper, Guo Lingli was surprised to find that the cave was littered with dried corpses.

These bodies had weathered to the point where they were almost unrecognizable, but from the remaining clothing on them, she could still tell their identities: there were Buddhists wearing cassocks, Taoists wearing Taoist robes, and those half-human, half-demon demons. These once powerful cultivators, now ending up like this, made Guo Lingli feel nervous.

She remembered the story she had heard twice before about a fairy who was reincarnated with a treasure map, and she couldn't help but have a bold guess in her mind: Could this also be a treasure place? After all, whenever a treasure map appears in the world, it will attract countless fights and battles. These monks may have died in the fight for the treasure map.

"There is a corpse ahead. Could there be corpse poison?" Guo Lingli said to Yin Jing.

But the silver mirror's answer surprised her: "Can you see a body inside? I can only see copper coins."

"What copper coins? Isn't it a corpse?"

Leng Xing also joined the discussion at this time, "It's not a corpse, nor a copper coin, it's a living creature."

The three of them stopped at the same time and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Yin Jing was the first to ask, "Xiao Haozi, can you first tell me what kind of corpse you saw?"

Guo Lingli described in detail what he saw: "The corpses had weathered to the point where they were almost unrecognizable, but their identities could still be seen from their clothes. There were Buddhist cultivators, Taoist cultivators, and demon cultivators."

After hearing this, Leng Xing turned to the silver mirror and asked, "What about you? What did you see?"

"What I saw was copper coins all over the ground. Those copper coins formed the shapes of various creatures, including copper coin horses, copper coin carts, copper coin trees and copper coin grasses." Yin Jing frowned, his expression becoming more serious.

Leng Xing hesitated for a moment and slowly said, "I didn't see anything. I just felt that there should be some kind of aquatic creature here, but I don't know what it is."

"Is it an illusion inside? We have to be careful." Yin Jing speculated.

After hearing this, Guo Lingli immediately took out a piece of rope from his arms: "Let's stay together and don't get separated."

Leng Xing, however, ignored her rope. He took out a smooth, radiant headband made of silk from the heavenly silkworm, handed it to Yin Jing and said, "Use this to tie our arms together."

Seeing this, Guo Lingli had no choice but to put away his rope.

She smiled bitterly in her heart, her rope was completely different from Leng Xing's Tiancan silk headband.

It seems that she can only rely on these two powerful companions in this adventure.
