I can gather experience beads

Inside the cave.

Cao Rui held the dagger tightly and followed the young man in front of him to explore the cave quietly.

The cave is about 1.5 meters high. Cao Rui is less than 1.5 meters tall at this time, which is just enough for him to stand upright and walk in the cave.

Cao Rui did not find the fork in the road. The six entrances should lead to completely different directions.

And it's unfathomable.

Cao Rui followed the young man in front of him for a long time, but he didn't reach the end.

Suddenly, the young man in front stopped and let out a cry of surprise.

"Did you find anything?" Cao Rui stepped forward quickly.

I saw that the cave passage in front had reached its end.

A dried-up corpse, with only dry bones left, was sitting cross-legged at the end of the cave.

The young man from before began to feel around for something on the dry bones and soon got something in his hand.

"Have you found anything?" Cao Rui walked slowly forward and asked the young man.

The young man was startled at first, but he was slightly relieved when he saw that it was Cao Rui.

"There is a dead body here."

"I only found a booklet on him, and I haven't had time to read it yet." The young man looked innocent and spoke frankly.

Cao Rui scanned the scene and examined the body.

The corpse looked extremely tall when he was alive, and the entrance at the bottom of the river could not accommodate him at all. It is unknown how he entered the cave.

"Let me see the booklet. I believe you have also seen the relationship between me and Protector Yang." Cao Rui shook the dagger in his hand, taking advantage of the power of the other side.

The young man recalled the scene on the boat where Yang Ping presented Cao Rui with a dagger, and finally handed over the booklet in his hand reluctantly.

Cao Rui held the book in his hand.

The booklet was already yellow and old, but the material was still in good condition and it had not completely rotted in the damp cave.

Cao Rui opened the booklet.

There were only a few big words written on the first page: "Ming Yu Gong".

Thanks to an old scholar who returned to the village to live in seclusion, Cao Rui learned basic characters.

After joining the Luoshui Gang, he spent time consolidating his knowledge of the writing system of this world, so he could naturally understand the writing.

Cao Rui continued to turn to the next page.

“Spiritual energy is the essence of heaven and earth, and the soul of all things. It comes without form and leaves without a trace, but as long as it exists, all things can grow and mountains and rivers can be beautiful…”

The first page is an explanation about Reiki.

The second page is about the practice method of guiding spiritual energy into the body.

“Meditation can sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the human body…”

"This is a completely different way of practicing martial arts!"

"Why do I feel like this is the cultivation method of the immortal cultivators in my memory?"

Relevant information about the literature of immortal cultivators in his previous life emerged from Cao Rui's memory fragments.

It completely matches the cultivation content of the twelve-level [Ming Yu Gong].

If it really was a method for cultivating immortals, Cao Rui calmly put away the booklet and stuffed it into his arms.

"What's your name? Where do you serve?" Cao Rui looked at the young man beside him.

The boy answered obediently: "My name is Zhang Xian, and I serve in the Herb Garden!"

Cao Rui nodded, "Have you read the contents of this booklet?"

Zhang Xian shook his head: "I can't read yet, I haven't read the booklet yet!"

"That's the best. I will give this booklet to Protector Yang after I get out. For now, you have no objection to keeping it in my hands?" Cao Rui said.

The boy shook his head repeatedly: "I have no objection!"

Cao Rui nodded slightly, "That's good."

Cao Rui observed the scene again and found nothing, so he left the cave with Zhang Xian.

It is impossible for Cao Rui not to be tempted by the Ming Yu Gong, which is suspected to be a method of cultivating immortality.

However, Cao Rui also knew that when he swam back to the boat, he would only be wearing a single layer of clothing, and it would be impossible to hide the ancient book.

The only solution now was to rely on his memory again and hurry up to memorize the entire book of [Ming Yu Gong] in the cave.

Ming Yu Gong's booklet is very thin. Although it has twelve pages of content, they are all short sentences like classical Chinese.

With Cao Rui's current memory, it is very likely that he memorized it.

Cao Rui took out the [Ming Yu Gong] as he walked and began to recite it silently in his mind.

Zhang Xian saw it, but didn't dare to say anything.

Not long after.

The two returned to the original cave.

"Some people have returned from this cave. Now no one has returned. The only one left is the largest cave." Cao Rui and another person had just walked out of the cave.

Then a short adult errand disciple spoke up.

This adult errand disciple was a dwarf, about 1.4 meters tall, forty years old, and had practiced martial arts, so he became the leader of the cave in a short period of time.

A young servant asked, "How many people went into the largest cave?"

"I haven't been in yet. I've been counting outside. The number of people who have entered this big cave is the highest, about a dozen or so," the dwarf replied.

All the menial disciples were silent. Could there be something terrifying in the cave?

"You two, have you reached the end of the cave? Have you found anything?" The dwarf looked at Cao Rui and the other man and asked.

Cao Rui shook his head: "There's nothing inside."

Zhang Xian opened his mouth and finally nodded.

The dwarf had sharp observation skills and looked at Cao Rui meaningfully.

However, considering the act of Protector Yang giving Cao Rui a dagger, he did not choose to delve into the details on Cao Rui's side.

The dwarf turned to everyone and said, "Of the six caves, five have been confirmed to be empty."

"More than a dozen disciples went to the Great Cave, but not a single one came out."

"There must be something wrong inside."

"I suggest that we all go into the cave and take a look."

“Perhaps the treasure the elder is looking for is inside.”

As soon as the dwarf finished speaking, a chores disciple objected, "My purpose is to get the internal skills and martial arts secrets that are rewarded as long as I enter the cave. I am not here to die."

"After exploring one cave, my mission is complete. I won't go to the big cave."

The words of this menial disciple were also recognized by many people, including Cao Rui.

Of course, there are also menial disciples who are more ambitious and choose to explore the truth with the dwarf and try their best to make greater contributions.

For a moment, the disciples in the cave split into two groups.

There are two groups, led by the dwarf servant disciple, who continue to explore, and there is another group, who choose to leave the cave immediately.

"What is that? It smells so good." The errand disciple with a keen sense of smell suddenly sniffed.

"It came from the big cave." Cao Rui sniffed and looked at the two-meter-high cave that was bottomless. He had a bad feeling in his heart.

clap clap.

At this time.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the river surface in the cave.

Then the river water suddenly began to boil.

Surprisingly, big fish began to jump out from the water like crazy and flew towards the surface of the water.

The exit was completely blocked by a large number of fish, and now there was no way to leave even if I wanted to.
