The mortal self is the spiritual root of heaven

Chapter 48 The ruins of the deserted mountain
On the back of the bird, Xiao Cuier looked excitedly at the retreating scenery under her feet, pulled the old man's sleeves, and exclaimed:
"Grandpa, grandpa! Look! We are really flying. We are flying so fast and high."

The old man looked worried, fearing that Zhou Xun would blame him, so he quickly stopped him and said:

"Tui'er, please keep your voice down, don't disturb the seniors!"

Zhou Xunze looked at Xiao Cuier's innocent look with a smile on his face, waved his hand towards the old man and said:

"It doesn't matter, Cui'er is lively and cute, just let her play as she pleases."

When Xiao Cui'er heard Zhou Xun's words, she beamed with joy and said to Zhou Xun with a smile:
"Senior, you are so kind!"

Zhou Xun was also happy. The little girl's cheerful temperament infected him, and his temper, which was originally tense after several battles, became more relaxed.

Then he waved to Xiao Cuier:
"Do you like flying?"

"Of course I do, it turns out that flying is such a joy!" Xiao Cuier opened her round eyes and tilted her head.

"When you take me to the cave, I will give you a flying magic weapon. How about it?"

"Okay, okay, then I can fly by myself!" Xiao Cuier clapped her hands happily.

After flying west for about a day, a bare rocky mountain appeared in front of the three of them.

This mountain is only a few hundred feet high, and is covered entirely with huge gray-white rocks, with some low shrubs and weeds growing here and there.When he saw this mountain, Zhou Xun couldn't help but look surprised.

That skill is actually in such an inconspicuous little rocky mountain?
There is a lack of spiritual energy here and the mountain walls are steep.Immortal cultivators do not want to come, and mortals cannot go up.

If it weren't for the guidance of his grandfather and grandson, Zhou Xun would never have found this place.

Following the guidance of the two, they landed on a stone platform in the north of the stone mountain.

The stone platform is very small, only one foot in size, and can hardly even accommodate a person.

I don’t know how this little girl came here to play in the first place.

"Senior, this is the cave where the ancient book was found." The old man pointed to the cave next to the stone platform and introduced to Zhou Xun.

Following the direction of the old man's finger, I saw a stone cave as high as one person, slightly sloping downwards, so dark that I couldn't see the bottom.

Zhou Xun nodded, then patted his storage bag and took out three small black shields.

The mantra was typed out and mana was slowly injected into it.The shield instantly became half as tall as a man, spinning around Zhou Xun.

The grandfather and grandson looked at Zhou Xun's shield with envy. This was their first time to observe a top-level defensive weapon up close.

"You two had better use defensive techniques to avoid accidents," Zhou Xun said kindly.

"Thank you, senior, for reminding me," the old man said as he slowly recited the mantra.I thought to myself that this senior looks young but is so steady in his work. He might be an old monster who has good looks and has lived for hundreds of years.Thinking this way, his expression became more respectful.

After half a cup of tea, a light shield formed by diamond magic surrounded the grandfather and grandson.

Zhou Xun looked at the old man in slight surprise. He did not expect that this man could also perform intermediate spells, which was rare among casual cultivators.Then he took out a moonstone from his storage bag and held it in front of him, and then took out several talismans and clasped them in his hands.

Then slowly walked into the cave.

The cave has twists and turns, sometimes going up and sometimes going down.It took about a cup of tea.The space in front of me suddenly became larger.It turned out that he had arrived in a stone room.

The stone chamber was several feet in size, and there were obvious signs of someone digging inside.

"Is this where the ancient book was found?" Zhou Xun asked softly, looking down at the little girl who was no more than his own waist.

"Yes, yes, senior, I found that ancient book on this stone platform." The girl's clear voice sounded, and a green little finger pointed to a knee-high stone platform. "I opened it at the time, and a lot of dust fell on it, and it almost got on my face."

Zhou Xun looked at the stone platform, wondering what he was thinking, and suddenly used Yu Cai's flying sword to cut the stone platform into several pieces.

Nothing was found, and the stone platform was nothing special, just ordinary rocks.

"Is there nothing else but this book?" Zhou Xun looked at the empty stone chamber. There was no other exit except the way he came.

"There is only this book, nothing else," the little girl said honestly.

Zhou Xun nodded and said nothing.He looked around the stone chamber, inspecting it inch by inch.After researching for a long time, I found nothing.

Suddenly he turned around and said to his grandfather and grandson:

"You guys go out and wait for me," Zhou Xun said without doubt, facing the surprised looks in their eyes.

"Yes, senior!" the old man agreed, and then pulled his granddaughter along the way.

After seeing both of them go out, Zhou Xun took out the "Five Elements Forbidden Element Formation" from his storage bag and laid out the formation around the stone room.

After making sure that the two of them could not spy on him, Zhou Xun then took out an "Escape Talisman" and stuck it on himself.

Slowly inject spiritual power and inspire.Zhou Xun's figure was seen slowly disappearing from the ground.

Zhou Xun searched one place after another, going down one foot, two feet, three feet.
After searching down for more than a hundred feet, the sluggish feeling of escaping into the stone was relieved, and we came to a cave.

There is an archway-style portal dozens of feet into the cave.The three characters "Muyufu" were written in the letter.

On both sides of the portal are pillars as thick as a man's arms, with some birds and animals carved on them.

The door was tightly closed and covered with powerful restrictions. Zhou Xun looked carefully and found that he didn't recognize most of them, and at the same time, they exuded fluctuations that made his heart palpitate.

After pondering for a long time, I still didn't dare to take action. The restriction here was too strong, and I couldn't open it with my current cultivation level.So he took out a blank jade slip and wrote down the restrictions here one by one.

I will visit you again when my cultivation level is high in the future.

After going out, they came to Shitai. Xiao Cuier's grandparents and grandson were sitting on the ground chatting. When he saw Zhou Xun coming out, the old man hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Without mentioning anything about the cave, Zhou Xun secretly said that this old man was very measured and shrewd, but his cultivation level was a bit low.

He walked up to Xiao Cuier, looked at her with a smile, and said:
"Remember the flying magic weapon I promised you?" He said and took out the middle-aged man's mid-level flying magic weapon, which was in the style of a canoe, from his storage bag.

Xiao Cuier took it over in surprise, danced with joy, and thanked:
"Thank you senior!"

Then he was about to inject mana and try to fly. The old man hurriedly came over to stop him and put the flying boat into his storage bag.

Then he thanked Zhou Xun again: "Thank you, senior, for giving me the treasure."

"There's no need for this. I promised her before." He paused and then said:
"I promised to give you some thank you gifts. If you have any requests, feel free to ask. If possible, I will try my best to satisfy you. Do you want elixirs, magic weapons or talismans?"

Hearing this, the old man had a strange expression on his face. After hesitating for a while, he still pulled Xiao Cuier and bowed down together:

"We don't want anything external to us, but we have a heartless request and hope that our seniors will fulfill it."

"What request?" For some reason, Zhou Xun suddenly felt like he was in trouble.
