Chapter 47: Ling Bo's Gentle Steps

  "Terrible!"

  Wu Ming shouted "Not good!" and saw that the stone gate had already closed tightly. He could only hold onto Xiao Shi, who was almost frightened silly, and with a backward flip of his legs on the stone gate, he jumped over the trap and arrived at the front.

  Without any hesitation, Wu Ming swiftly pressed down Xiao Shi's soft acupoint and put her on the ground. He first observed the trap at the cave entrance and discovered that it was actually a natural large crevice, cleverly set up as a mechanism by someone. The crevice was bottomless, and if one fell in, even with exceptional martial arts skills, trying to climb back up would be extremely difficult.

  Thinking of the consequences, Wu Ming let out a cold sweat and had a clearer understanding of Wang Furen in his heart. This woman was indeed ruthless and cruel, no wonder those women who were close to Duan Zhengchun all died at her hands.

  In addition, Wu Ming also began to reflect and realized that his Jianghu experience was too lacking, and he was particularly dependent on the Book Immortal system, which was extremely undesirable.

  After finishing the trap, Wu Ming looked around and found that there was a crescent-shaped hole at the deepest part of the cave, so he immediately walked over.

  After cautiously entering the crescent-shaped entrance, Wu Ming found that it was surprisingly bright inside, and the furnishings were also exceptionally elegant.

  Raising his head, Wu Ming discovered that the top of the cave was inlaid with glowing pearls, which should be the legendary night pearls. No wonder it wasn't dark at all inside here.

  Wu Ming counted them casually and found that there were actually seven night pearls, inlaid on the top of the cave according to a certain rule, which was extremely luxurious.

  Apart from the Night Pearls, the cave walls were smooth as jade. Under the illumination of the Night Pearls, they emitted a soft glow, looking extremely enchanting. Inside the cave, rows and rows of pear-wood bookshelves were arranged in an orderly manner, with various classics placed on top of them. Wu Ming's heart sank immediately, confirming that this was indeed the "Luminous Jade Cave".

  When Wu Ming approached the bookshelf, he indeed saw that each bookshelf was plastered with tags, on which were written the names of various schools and factions. There were Kunlun, Shaolin... In short, all the famous martial arts schools' classics in the world were almost all here. Only under the tag of Shaolin, it was written that "Xi Jin Jing" was missing; under the tag of Beggars' Sect, it was written that "Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms" was lacking; and under the tag of Dali's Duan family, it was written that "Six Pulses Divine Sword" was missing.

  Since you have come, make yourself at home.

  Wu Ming thought of the previous task 【Liang Yan Yu Dong】, so he decided to browse through it first and complete the task before thinking about going out, believing that there must be a way out.

  It is said that all martial arts in the world originated from Shaolin.

  Wu Ming first looked at the classics of Shaolin, which included the 72 ultimate skills of Shaolin and many secrets that were not passed down. If you add the Yi Jin Jing, then the martial arts classics of Shaolin here can be said to be almost comparable to the Zangjing Pavilion.

  Of course, the scriptures in the Scripture Pavilion are not only martial arts classics, but also various Buddhist scriptures.

  Wu Ming's kung fu had long since reached a very high level, and now the most important thing was not to learn martial skills, but to understand the world of martial arts, which was even more important for him.

  Wu Ming was originally a fast reader, and now that he only needed to roughly understand the martial arts of various schools in the world, it went even faster. In no time at all, he finished reading the main classics of Wudang and Kunlun, then moved on to other sects.

  After finishing the Shaolin classics, Wu Ming actually grasped more than half of the world's martial arts. Other schools had a great deal of origin with Shaolin, and as he continued to read, each school was roughly just reading one main classic, then moving on to the next school.

  It was also unknown how long it took for Wu Ming to finish reading all the main classics of the various sects in the Leng Xueyu Cave, and at the same time, a clear prompt sound was heard in his ears.

  "Ding Dong!"

  "Congratulations, you have completed the Book Spirit System task [Liang Yan Jade Cave], and obtained a mysterious treasure chest."

  What's inside? Wu Ming opened the mysterious treasure chest with great joy.

  "Ding Dong!"

  "Open the mysterious treasure chest and you will obtain the extraordinary lightness skill 'Lingbo Wei Bu'."

  As the prompt sound fell, Wu Ming suddenly felt that his mind was filled with some mysterious knowledge, and then he grasped the subtlety of Lingbo Weibu. However, wanting to flexibly apply it required a period of practice and rehearsal.

  Lingbo Weibu can be said to be the most wonderful lightness skill in Tianlong, Duan Yu had used this skill several times to escape from powerful enemies. Now Wu Ming saw that he had mastered such a wonderful lightness skill, his excitement was palpable.

  So Wu Ming immediately began practicing in the cave.

  Lingbo's subtle steps were incredibly mysterious, and Wu Ming spent some time slowly grasping the true essence within.

  The lightness skill of the Ancient Tomb Sect was already abundant, but it lacked mystery. Now that Wu Ming had grasped the mysterious aspect of the Lingbo Micro Step, and combined it with the lightness of the Ancient Tomb Sect's lightness skill, it was truly like a fish in water, and his lightness skill suddenly reached a whole new level.

  With a light leap, Wu Ming floated to the top of the cave, exerted his internal force, and continuously dug out more than half of the Night Pearls embedded in the stone at the top of the cave, then put them into the Book Spirit's storage box.

  "Heh heh, Lady Wang, you've been plotting against me like this, taking a few of your luminous pearls isn't too excessive, is it?"

  In ancient times there were no electric lights, in Wu Ming's view, this night pearl was indeed the best lighting equipment.

  Having learned the Lingbo Micro Step, Wu Ming naturally wanted to find a way out, so he quickly arrived at the outer cave.

  Xiao Shi saw Wu Ming walking over, his face suddenly revealing a terrified expression, but his mouth was silent and didn't utter a sound of pleading.

  Xiao Shi was fifteen or sixteen years old, small and lovely, with a terrified look that easily moved people.

  However, Wu Ming had been taken in once before, and this time he wouldn't be so lenient.

  Wu Ming smiled coldly and ignored Xiaoshi, leaping over the trap to arrive at the stone gate.

  After careful observation and probing, Wu Ming found that with his current strength, he wanted to use brute force to open the stone gate, but it was beyond his power.

  But how to open the stone gate, there must be a mechanism inside, but Wu Ming searched everywhere for half a day and didn't find any suspicious place.

  At this time, Wu Ming's heart was somewhat anxious and uneasy, so he went back to Xiao Shi's side, picked up her weak body, and coldly asked: "Xiao Shi, tell me the truth, do you know where the mechanism to open the stone gate is?"

  Xiao Shi shook her head and said, "Young Master Wu, I'm just following the orders of the mistress to bring you here. As for this Luanxu Jade Cave, I've never been inside before, so how would I know where the mechanism is?"

  Wu Ming half-believed and half-doubted, saying in a low voice: "What about the previous trap? And how did the stone gate suddenly close? If you don't answer honestly, don't blame me for being rude to you."

  Xiao Shi said: "The method of opening the trap and stone gate was previously explained by the lady to Xia Bi. As for how the stone gate suddenly closed, this Xia Bi is also unclear. If the young master does not believe it, he can kill me."

  Lingyuxi Cave is a forbidden place in Mandala Villa. Xiaoshi is just a maid, she doesn't know if the mechanism inside is still normal or not.

  Furthermore, the little poem didn't seem like a lie, so Wu Ming instantly believed it 90%, but to be on the safe side, he still deliberately raised his palm and said in a cold voice: "Do you think I dare not kill you? I'll ask you again, where is the mechanism to open the stone gate?"

  Xiao Shi closed her eyes, raised her head and said: "Wu Gongzi, Xiao Bi really doesn't know, you might as well kill me."

  Seeing Xiao Shi's determination, Wu Ming couldn't bring himself to strike the final blow. He could only shake his head and sigh, putting down the hand he had raised: "Forget it, if you can't get out this time, you'll live no longer than I will."

  Xiao Shi slowly opened her eyes and said: "Thank you, young master, for sparing my life. In my humble opinion, the madam is not trying to kill you, she will definitely come later, and when that time comes, as long as you follow her wishes, you can leave."

  The poem had just ended, and the sound of footsteps could be heard coming from outside the stone gate. Wu Ming then heard Wang's wife coldly laugh and say: "Hmph, Wu Ming, do you know the consequences of offending me? This time entering the 'Liangxuan Jade Cave', no matter how strong your martial arts are, you won't be able to come out alive... unless..."

  Wu Ming coldly asked: "Unless what? Madam Wang, don't be mysterious."

  Madam Wang said coldly: "Your skills are quite good, if you can be used by me, then I will let you out, otherwise, you'll just have to wait and starve to death."

  Wu Ming was not a stubborn person, he knew that for now he could only pretend to comply and then leave, so he immediately replied: "Madam, why didn't you say so earlier? Being able to do things for madam is my honor, how could I not agree?"

  Madam Wang smiled and said: "Very well, from now on you will follow my orders."

  "Please speak, madam," said Wu Mingdao.

  Madam Wang said: "First, unblock Xiaoshi's acupoints."

  Wu Ming replied: "No problem." Then he quickly released Xiaoshi's numbness point.

  "Milady, the maid's acupoints have been unsealed."

  "Very good." Madame Wang first praised, then said: "Wu Ming, since you agreed to do things for me, naturally I want to test your loyalty. Now let Xiaoshi seal your acupoints."

  Wu Ming immediately replied: "No problem, I'll let Xiaoshi seal my acupoints right away."

  After finishing speaking, Wu Ming beckoned to Xiaoshi, who nodded slightly and quickly pressed his soft acupoint.

  "Madam, Wu Gongzi's acupoint has been sealed by Xiaobi."
