Chapter 124: So that’s it

This question is really a bit of a rogue, but the Taoist monk is very calm, as if it is a matter of course to play such a trick.

On second thought, if the Snow Mountain Sect starves me to death here, it would be ridiculous to say it out loud, and it would be a big joke… After all, it is impossible to keep a secret, because my elders and my friends are all here.

Don’t forget, there is also a Jenny sister-in-law standing there, can this be allowed to happen?

Obviously, no one expected the Taoist monk to be such a bad loser, including my soul from the future… Sure enough, after a moment of awkward silence, the very patient guide became angry again, shouting in a low voice, “Chen Chengyi, what are you doing? Do you want to stay in the underground cave of the Snow Mountain Sect?”

“It’s better to live than to die. What’s the big deal if I stay? You made such a mysterious and meaningless cave, and the more I walked, the more scared I got. But you still wouldn’t give me an explanation. What if the prayer drum is something that anyone can break, and you just set up a trap? Wouldn’t that be a big loss for me?” As the Taoist priest spoke, he lightly lifted the white robe of the Snow Mountain lineage that he was wearing, making him even more eloquent and relaxed.

But he was so angry with the contact that he said, “Chen Chengyi, what is your purpose? You are not the master of the Snow Mountain Sect yet!”

“Why does this underground cave exist?” The Taoist boy did not hesitate for a moment.

“I can’t tell you now.” The contact person didn’t hesitate at all.

“So how does this sword work? Are you going to tell me or not?” As he spoke, the Taoist boy took out the copper coin sword and suddenly raised it into the air, his voice urgent and fast.

“So that’s what you’re after?” The person above him sounded somewhat frustrated.

At this point, I fully realized the will of the Taoist boy. He didn’t want to know what secrets the underground cave of the Snow Mountain lineage hid. From beginning to end, all he wanted to know was the specific usage of the copper coin sword. And asking directly might not get a definite answer.

The Taoist monk adopted a very simple, but extremely effective method. When he wanted a candy, he would ask for ten candies, and when the other person thought that was unacceptable, he would say that he only wanted one candy.

Psychologically speaking, this is indeed a tortuous but extremely effective method.

I didn’t realize that Daotongzi was so deep-minded beneath his seemingly calm surface.

But didn’t Daotongzi know how to use this sword? I still remember how he used it to subdue the gourd eagle in the second cave. But here, he stopped, went to great lengths, and asked again what the use of the sword was.

“I will only ask once.” In the face of the person above’s puzzled tone, Dao Tongzi said only this sentence, then turned and sat on the bed in this cave, as if preparing to enter a trance.

“Forget it, I’ve already given you the sword, so I don’t care if I tell you how to use it. Even though the Snow Mountain Sect has its own teachings, if you think about it carefully, there are no restrictions on the method. This sword contains yang energy, but the real use of it is not to use this yang energy to kill spirits. In fact… it is to exhaust this yang energy. To be more specific, the real use of this sword is to summon.” The voice from above did not hesitate this time, and it was clear that the Taoist boy’s psychological tactics were very effective, which is why it had such an effect.

“Can you be more specific?” I felt a sense of surprise for the first time in the Taoist boy. In fact, anyone would be surprised. If it is a summoning, how can it be done with a copper coin sword that is so full of yang energy? You have to know that copper coins can suppress the existence of spirits (naturally, copper coins that are contaminated with human energy).

Let’s leave that aside for now. If that’s the case, why go to all the trouble of exhausting the sword’s yang energy? And how does the sword’s yang energy get exhausted? And how does summoning work?

I realized for the first time that I had as many questions as the Taoist boy, so all of his questions became one question. Can you be more specific?

But the contact person above seemed to have been scared by the Taoist boy… There was no sound from above for a long time, and the Taoist boy was a little impatient, looking up… There was already a slight light in the cave above, and it was clear that the mysterious contact person was no longer there.

“Really…” the Taoist boy said softly, with a hint of complaint, but he quickly suppressed the emotion and returned to his calm state. He then repeatedly measured the copper sword.

My will once again fell into a state of almost dormancy in this silence. I don’t know how long it was, but I felt that the Taoist boy suddenly had a flash of enlightenment and then stood up.

“It hasn’t been long,” I said, because I could still feel a hint of warmth from the food bag strapped to the Taoist boy’s back. If it had been longer, it would have cooled down long ago. In such a short time, what did the Taoist boy realize? I didn’t know.

As always, Daotongzi could feel my confusion, but as always, he didn’t answer me at all.

Instead, he walked up to the four gates and suddenly transmitted a thought to me: “The four gates are a bit difficult to choose. I hope you can also concentrate with me at this time and just think about which gate we should choose.”

“What do you mean?” Although my will was already at a disadvantage, it did not affect my conversation with Tao Tongzi.

“My descendants are so stupid, don’t you understand? It’s by chance that we can get out of this cave, but we must have our own support. What is our greatest support? You tell me? High-level skills, exquisite magic?” Tao Tongzi’s words may express strong emotions, but in fact his tone is flat and indifferent.

Faced with Tao Tongzi, I subconsciously wanted to choose the most exquisite magic, but before I could make a decision, my will suddenly and clearly expressed one thing: “That is naturally spiritual awareness.”

After this thought was expressed, I realized that this answer was extremely accurate, whether in the past or present… My greatest reliance is definitely this. After I gave the answer, I suddenly realized that this choice did not need to be jerky at all.

For me and the Taoist boy, as long as we concentrate and follow our own feelings, we will be fine.

“It seems that you have finally come to your senses… Combining all of these factors is the secret to truly getting out of this cave. However, the power of intuition is not infinite. When there are more choices, intuition can also be wrong. Moreover…” Daotongzi even had a hint of unease.

This Taoist monk, who is always so sure of himself, is actually feeling uneasy? I have always known Taoist monk, and if I don’t ask now, he will keep it a secret, so I expressed my doubts very strongly: “What else?”

“Moreover, I feel that at some point, I will definitely make a mistake… As for what kind of mistake, I don’t know. When I used this sword, I felt that this sword was definitely not that simple. It seemed to have its own consciousness. But how could a sword have consciousness? Even the place where I am can’t do this… So.” The Taoist boy stopped talking here. Obviously, in his opinion, this explanation was already exceptionally clear and clear.

“So, for this feeling, you think you’ll take a gamble and see where the sword is really useful, right?” I said angrily, but I also secretly thought that the Taoist monk was amazing, being able to grasp every detail and come up with this method to guard against unknown dangers.

“Right, don’t ask. I don’t want to waste too much time. The deeper I penetrate, the less time I can give you to wake up. I’m afraid I won’t be able to guarantee three days.” The Taoist monk answered very directly, but it seemed that he didn’t want to be wordy either.

Three days? For me, these are three precious days… I definitely don’t want to lose them, so I didn’t ask anything else at the moment, and I concentrated with Daotongzi to start sensing my own problem, which door should I go through.

Soon, I came to a conclusion: the second gate must be the second gate.

At the same time, the Taoist boy also got the same answer… Then, without hesitation, he walked toward the entrance of the second gate…

The patterns on the gate were more exquisite here, but the Taoist boy was already unwilling to waste any more time, so he pushed open the gate and walked in.

As soon as I entered the cave, I could already feel an indescribable heat emanating from it, much hotter than the previous cave… But the Taoist boy didn’t care about this at all, and just walked straight ahead.

But at this moment, a hoarse thought entered the sea of chaos between me and the Taoist boy: “It’s not easy to get here, but once we get here, it’s over, right?”

What does he mean? Will the underground cave end here? If so, then the heroic exploration of the underground cave is a bit too childish.

At the same time, a giant snake spirit climbed up from the bottom of the cave.
