Discovery 31

  Autumn had always been thinking about the rabbit hole, but never had a chance to take a closer look. After the exam ended, Yu Shui Zhen Ren lectured all his disciples, those who performed poorly were naturally punished, while those who excelled were rewarded. Jing Yue received a precious sword, said to be an excellent magic tool, while Jing Lan got a protective magic tool called the Seven Treasures Bell. Just by its name, one could imagine what it looked like. Jing Lan immediately put it on and as she walked, the sound of the Seven Treasures Bell jingling could be heard from afar.

  Qiuqiu always wanted to laugh, she had thought of putting a bell on Da Bai and Erbai before, but considering that they would easily encounter fierce beasts when going up the mountain, having a big bell on their bodies would be purely asking for death, it's simply like loudly inviting wolves, leopards and tigers to come and have a meal.

  It turned out they didn't get hanged, but the master sister got herself hanged instead.

  Qiu Qiu understood her feelings, and said that wealth and honor are not as good as returning to one's hometown, just like wearing brocade at night. Jing Lan wouldn't have hung the bell on herself, who would have known she made a big splash in this exam? Who would have known Master valued her, giving her such a protective treasure?

  It's understandable, but Qiuqiu would never do something like this.

  She and her son learned a lesson together: never let your opponent know how many trump cards you have. If everything is clear to others, what advantage can be gained?

  Everyone has their own ambitions, let Jinglan show off if she wants to, anyway, no matter how arrogant she is, it has nothing to do with Qiuqiu.

  Yu Shui Zhen Ren handed over the affairs of Lian Hua Peak to Jing Yuan and began his closed-door meditation.

  This closure, when to come out can't be guaranteed, may be three or two months, but also may need ten or eight years. The Liushui Sword Sect had a talented and young disciple hundreds of years ago, who suddenly closed himself without saying goodbye to others, and was closed for fifty or sixty years. His master and fellow disciples all thought he was dead, but one day he came out shining brightly...

  It's okay, in Shu's world, nothing is unusual.

  Qiu Qiu found an empty hole and drilled into the rabbit cave again.

  After the two whites were born, they had been raised for a few days and had almost recovered. Autumn had just entered the cave when Da Bai led his wife out with a flutter.

  "Is your body okay, Er Bai?" Lin picked up Er Bai and stroked her long ears. Er Bai comfortably rubbed against her hand a few times.

  "Take me to see what's inside the cave."

  Dai Bai understood her meaning and very diligently led the way in front.

  A group of little rabbits are like white furry balls rolling all over the ground, chasing and following them.

  Qiu Qiu waved her hand at them: "This time I won't take you guys, go back and find Er Bai instead."

  A few big ones with spirituality stopped hesitantly and didn't follow, but the smaller ones were not so obedient and still followed closely. One of them even grabbed the white tail of a big one and hitched a ride, dangling from its buttocks, swaying back and forth, making people's hearts ache.

  The father finally put on a stern face and let out a loud roar, shouted a few times, then swung his hips and threw that unknown ranking son to one side.

  The little fur balls finally saw the situation clearly and reluctantly accompanied each other back.

  Qiu Qiu patted Da Bai's head: "You're quite stylish, huh."

  Dabai was very pleased with himself and continued to lead the way ahead with a flick of his ear.

  Qiu Qiu used the Ruyi ring to shine a light. However, even without the Ruyi ring, it wasn't pitch black here. The soft glow emitted by the luminous stones on the wall was enough to illuminate her path.

  The faint green light seemed eerie - Autumn suddenly thought of classic horror stories like "The XX Lantern" and "The XX Notes".

  Autumn was originally a timid person, knowing that these books were quite scary, but couldn't help wanting to read them. After finishing reading, she didn't dare go to the toilet alone at night and had to call someone from her dormitory to accompany her.

  Is this self-inflicted punishment? No, Qiuqiu thinks that everyone probably has a dream of grave robbing hidden in their heart. Think about it, what's inside an ancient tomb? Treasure, ancient corpses, danger, mystery, excitement...

  Qiu Qiu of course knew she wasn't walking in an ancient tomb now, but she felt quite thrilled.

  No matter what she gets in the end, she already has this process full of novelty and fun.

  Some places on this road are very spacious and can accommodate three to five people walking together without any issues, while others are very narrow. The road is piled up with rocks, but fortunately, Dabai and Qiūqiū's combined height is less than half that of an average adult, so it doesn't take much effort for them to pass through these areas.

  It's been many years since then.

  The Zhi Xing Tai has been around for many years. If this stone cave was left behind at the same time, it might have been left by the ancestors of that generation as well.

  A faint light appeared in front of her, and Qiuqiu's spirits lifted. She picked up Da Bai and quickly walked a few steps forward.

  As she turned around, everything suddenly became clear before her eyes.

  Qiu Qiu's eyes widened and she held her breath at the same time.

  It's another village beyond the willows and flowers.

  Autumn didn't expect that this end of the stone cave would be such a beautiful place.

  Outside the cave entrance, countless rare flowers and grasses grew, rich and delicate blooms covered the mountains and fields, green trees reached for the sky, lush and dense, it was unknown how many years they had been growing here. Not far away was a lake, with a faint mist floating on its surface. The night sky was a deep blue that was hard to describe, a full moon hung in the air. Everything was so peaceful, yet so beautiful.

  Qiu Qiu took a slow step forward in the morning, unaware of what she had stepped on, and made a faint rustling sound. She hastily stopped her foot, fearing that her carelessness would ruin this beauty.

  The big white head turned left and right, as if two eyes were not enough.

  "You're so ungrateful." Qiuqiu tapped its forehead: "Why didn't you tell me about this great place earlier?"

  Dai Bai let out a discontented snort and jumped down from Qiu Qiu's arms, jumping up and down and gesturing wildly as he tried to convey his meaning to Qiu Qiu.

  Fortunately, there was a connection between this person and the rabbit. If not, with such a big difference in species, it would be unlikely that they could understand each other's meaning even after several lifetimes.

  "You said you've never been here? That's impossible."

  There was nothing to stop them here either, and Da Bai came over smoothly with her. Hadn't Da Bai come before? This really wasn't very likely.

  But the spiritual connection between them told Qiū Qiū that Dà Bái wasn't lying, and Líng Chǒng couldn't possibly lie to his master.

  What's going on? Is this an illusion?

  Qiu Qiu squatted down and picked up a blade of grass, pinched it, and then brought it closer to smell.

  A faint scent of grass.

  If it's an illusion, it's too real.

  The big white ran two steps forward and then straightened up and turned around to look at her, as if urging her to hurry up and follow.
