Shenwu Yutianlei

Shen Yun and Li Xiangyuan looked at each other, and a strong curiosity surged in each other's eyes.

Shen Yun thought to himself that the fox scorpion beast might have been hiding here. The pattern on the surface of the fox scorpion beast's body was very similar to the pattern of the blood vine, and it was difficult for ordinary people to discover the cleverness of its camouflage.

Looking at the dark cave entrance, Shen Yun looked at Li Xiangyuan solemnly and said, "Mr. Li, what do you think? Should we go in and take a look?"

Li Xiangyuan thought for a moment, "I saw that the fox scorpion beast was a little different from the others before, and I guessed that it must have had some adventures. I guess the answer must be in this cave."

"In that case, we must go in and take a look. There is no reason to pass by a treasure mountain and return empty-handed. Since we have met, it is fate." Li Xiangyuan's answer made Shen Yun more determined to go into the cave and take a look. Alas, men, more or less, have some interest in digging holes.

However, the two of them were not in a hurry. They just saw Shen Yun pick up a stone from the ground and throw it into the cave. He listened carefully. There was no sound of the stone hitting the wall directly, but only the faint sound of the stone falling to the ground, which showed that the entrance of the cave was straight and deep. The two waited for a while until they confirmed that there was no abnormality. Shen Yun nodded to Li Xiangyuan, indicating that they could enter.

The two walked into the cave carefully. The light inside the cave was dim and it was pitch dark. Shen Yun took out a fluorite from his storage ring for lighting. This fluorite was found in the storage ring of the three Greedy Wolfs he had killed before. They had been doing robbery for a long time, so they had enough supplies for outdoor life. They didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment.

With the help of the light of the fluorite, they continued to move forward slowly. The cave was filled with a damp smell, and the ground was slightly rugged. Shen Yun carefully used his feet to test the way forward, occasionally stopping to listen to the movements in the cave.

As they went deeper into the cave, the space gradually became drier. Shen Yun could clearly feel that they were slowly moving upwards. He stopped and turned to Li Xiangyuan and said, "It seems that the center of this cave should be in the center of the mountain." Li Xiangyuan nodded slightly in agreement.

After about a cup of tea, a faint light gradually appeared in the dark place ahead. The light was inconspicuous at first, like a spark flickering in the darkness. As the two continued to move forward with firm steps, the light became clearer and clearer.

Finally, the two came to the end of the cave. However, the scene before them shocked them so much that they even froze in place for a moment. This turned out to be an extremely hidden cave! The cave was surrounded by fluorite stones that emitted a faint glow, dotted like stars throughout the space. These fluorite stones were obviously carefully arranged, and their presence not only provided lighting, but also added a mysterious and charming atmosphere.

The cave is simple and elegantly decorated, with a heavy stone table and several unique stone benches. The stone table seems to still have the atmosphere of the former owner meditating and studying here. The air is filled with a sense of tranquility and simplicity, as if time flows very slowly here. Rows of yellowed classics are neatly placed on the bookshelf, which are the precipitation of years and the accumulation of wisdom.

As their eyes moved, a decayed skeleton appeared in their sight. The skeleton was pale and paler, as if it had lost all its vitality. The surface of the skeleton was covered with tiny cracks, as if they were marks left by the years.

The corpse sat cross-legged quietly on the stone bed, with only a cushion under him. His posture seemed particularly solemn, as if he was telling the vicissitudes of life and the glory of the past. Even after death, the corpse still exuded a kind of majestic momentum, which made people feel awe.

This power also shows that this person must have had considerable cultivation in his lifetime.

In front of the corpse, a jade slip was quietly placed, as if waiting for future generations to discover it. It emitted a faint glow, as if it was the last breath left by the monk.

Shen Yun walked forward cautiously, his eyes fixed on the jade slip. He was full of curiosity, and whispered to himself: "This jade slip may be able to solve the mystery of this senior's life experience."

This jade slip looked like the most common message-retaining jade slip. Shen Yun reached out and gently picked up the jade slip, carefully placing it between his eyebrows, then concentrated his mind and let his spiritual consciousness penetrate into the jade slip.

Instantly, a large amount of information flooded into his mind like a tide, and Shen Yun's face showed astonishment. It turned out that the elder who passed away was named Wen Shengquan. He came from Qingyun Sect, one of the three sects of Liuyun Empire. He was of extremely noble status and was once one of the elders of Qingyun Sect. Wen Shengquan was born with outstanding talent. At the age of 88, he broke through the limit of the foundation-building stage at an astonishing speed and successfully became a Jindan master.

However, since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beauty. By chance, Wen Shengquan met the contemporary saint of the Lotus Sect. As the two spent more time together, their feelings became deeper and deeper. However, the Qingyun Sect and the Lotus Sect were enemies, and their relationship was strongly opposed by their respective sects.

Shen Yun was filled with emotion, as if he saw the scene of the past. Wen Shengquan's eyes were full of pain and struggle. He loved that woman deeply, but he could not go against the wishes of his master.

The elders of Qingyun Sect naturally did not want to let the resources they invested go to waste, so they planned to kill the Holy Maiden of Lotus Sect in an attempt to make Wen Shengquan focus his attention back on the development of the sect.

After the Saint was murdered, Wen Shengquan was devastated. He was filled with despair and helplessness. On one side was the woman he loved, and on the other was the master who raised him. He wanted to avenge his beloved, but he could not violate the etiquette of loyalty and filial piety and attack his elders. He hated himself for not being able to protect his beloved; he hated himself even more for being weak and unable to avenge his beloved.

Frustrated, Wen Shengquan resolutely resigned from his position as the elder of the sect, announced that he would withdraw from Qingyun Sect and no longer care about the affairs of the martial arts world. His back looked extremely lonely and desolate, as if he was the only one left in the world. In the end, he chose to spend the rest of his life in this secluded cave, isolated from the world, and eventually died alone here.

Shen Yun digested this information silently, his heart full of admiration and regret for Wen Shengquan.

What is it that makes people live and die together?

Shen Yun handed the jade slip to Li Xiangyuan. After reading it, Li Xiangyuan was also deeply moved. Although Li Xiangyuan has always been a bachelor, this does not affect his admiration for Wen Shengquan.
