The three of them were running in the woods. Although Zhu Shan and Zhu Shan were still young, because they were born in this mountain village surrounded by high mountains, they had received various physical training since they were young and adapted to the rules of survival here in advance. Therefore, even though they were not

Practitioners can also move quickly in the woods.

After about an hour, Skinny Monkey gradually slowed down and said to Lin Feng behind him: "Brother Lin, the cave should be not far ahead. Let's pay more attention to the surroundings!"

"Okay, Zhu Shan, please pay attention to your surroundings. If you find a cave, just say something. Keep the noise down a little, in case there are wild animals in the cave, so as not to scare the snakes." Lin Feng said after hearing this.

"Pihou, you have to look carefully to see if this is where it is. Don't even get the general direction wrong." Zhu Shan said with a hint of doubt.

"Don't worry, after living in the mountains for more than ten years, I still have this ability to recognize the mountains and forests." Shouhou replied to Zhu Shan in a positive tone.

The three of them searched carefully in the woods. After a while, Skinny Monkey whispered: "Brother Lin, Zhu Pang, I found it."

After hearing the words, the two people quickly walked to the thin monkey. They saw that in front of the thin monkey was a small bush, completely blocking the line of sight. The thin monkey opened a corner of the gap in the middle of the bush and saw through this corner.

The scene behind the bushes.

"Ouch" Zhu Shan was so arrogant that after passing by, he pulled the thin monkey aside to see the cave he mentioned. The thin monkey was not prepared and fell to the ground, letting out a small cry of pain.

"Ouch!" This time it was Zhu Shan's turn to shout. Lin Feng slapped Zhu Shan on the back of the head and scolded in a low voice: "I told you to be careful and don't make any noise."

"Oh!" Zhu Shan covered the back of his head and replied angrily.

Although Zhu Shan is naughty and mischievous and dominates the children in the village, he does not dare to provoke Lin Feng. After all, Lin Feng is older than him, and he was a bully in the family when he was a child. When it comes to punishing people, Zhu Shan is the best.

In front of him was a master of tricks, and it didn't take a few tricks to tidy him up.

Zhu Shan stepped aside, and Lin Feng stepped forward to take a look. Through the gap in the bushes, Lin Feng did see a cave.

It was a very ordinary-looking cave. Both the entrance to the cave and the trees and grass around the cave were ordinary. There was nothing special about it. It felt like it was naturally formed, and there were no traces of artificial excavation or digging by wild beasts.

But this alone cannot be sure that there is no danger in the cave. After all, even if it is naturally formed, there may be wild animals living in it.

"You guys wait for me here. I'll go in first and check if there's any danger." Lin Feng turned around and ordered the two of them.

After that, he did not stop, took the iron sword, walked around to the other side of the bush, and walked cautiously towards the entrance of the cave. During this process, Lin Feng kept paying attention to the surrounding environment and found that there was nothing special about it.

, just like an ordinary cave. Moreover, when Lin Feng looked at the cave through the gaps in the bushes just now, Lin Feng did not notice the bright light inside the cave that Shouhou mentioned.

At that time, Lin Feng just thought that the sun's rays were too strong and covered up other bright lights. But from the current point of view, there is indeed nothing surprising about this cave. The bright light may also be the thin monkey's illusion.

At this time, Zhu Shan also reacted, immediately grabbed the collar of Skinny Monkey's clothes, and asked in a low voice: "Skinny Monkey, you dare to lie to me, where does the light come from in the cave?"

Because Lin Feng was here just now, he didn't have time to see the cave. Now that Lin Feng left, Zhu Shan used this time to look at the cave carefully. Like Lin Feng, he didn't find any light inside.

"I'm not lying to you, I really saw it last time." Thin Monkey said hurriedly.

Although Shouhou and Zhu Shan are both "little bullies" in Lan Village, due to their size, Shouhou is no match for Zhushan, so he is usually a little afraid of Zhushan.

"Then tell me, where is the light? Apart from the sunlight, what other light can I see now? If you can't tell me a reason, I will let your head light up!"

"Maybe it's a matter of angle. Let's look at it from another place." Thin Monkey said with some uncertainty. He was also suspicious. He clearly saw a glimmer of light in the cave last time. Although it was a quick glance, he could see it.

True.

At this time, Lin Feng had already reached the entrance of the cave. He pressed his body against the mud wall outside the cave and stretched his head to look inside. Upon seeing this, Lin Feng immediately discovered that there was indeed light inside the cave, but it was relatively weak.

It's not conspicuous. I didn't see it just now because of the angle.

"Look, I didn't lie to you! There is really light inside." At this time, Shouhou and Zhu Shan also changed places and saw the light in the cave.

"Haha, good boy, I knew you wouldn't lie to me. I was joking with you just now!" Zhu Shan patted the thin monkey on the shoulder, changed his previous ferocious look, and said with a smile.

Shouhou pouted, having already scolded Zhu Shan several times in his heart.

Although Zhu Shan was talking and laughing here, Lin Feng was not so leisurely anymore, because he didn't know what the bright light was, and he didn't know if there was any danger in the cave.

Now, not only Slender Monkey and the others were curious about the inside, but even Lin Feng became interested in the bright light and wanted to see what illuminated the dark cave.

After checking that there was no danger around him, Lin Feng began to slowly move inside. Because the light outside was strong and there were glowing objects inside, plus Lin Feng was a monk and his eyesight was better than that of ordinary humans, so he was very cautious about the cave.

The scene inside can still be seen relatively clearly.

After walking a few steps forward, Lin Feng discovered that the source of the light was not far away, just a dozen feet in front. Moreover, there were no traces of animal life such as animal hair, excrement or animal footprints. Of course,

No trace of human life has been found.

He was a little relieved and began to continue exploring inside. At the same time, he did not relax his vigilance and continued to remain alert and move forward cautiously.

The whole journey was uneventful. In less than half a quarter of an hour, Lin Feng arrived at the source of the light. It was something that looked like a stone. It was not big in size, but it was brighter than the luminous pearl.

"Is this..."

From the moment he saw the stone, Lin Feng knew what it was. He had seen it in his family's treasure house before, and it was a spiritual stone that was regarded as a treasure by monks.

When a monk breaks through the body-forging realm and enters the Qi-gathering realm, he must begin to practice by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. In some places, when the spiritual energy is rich enough to a certain extent, it will turn into liquid, which is called spiritual fluid.

The value of spiritual liquid is far greater than that of spiritual energy, because it is the essence of spiritual energy. When the spiritual liquid becomes rich again to a certain extent, it will solidify and turn into spiritual stone.

It can be said that spiritual stones are what every monk dreams of. Using spiritual stones to practice can save a lot of time.

The Lin family where Lin Feng belongs is a big family in Luoyue City, but according to Lin Feng's understanding, the Lin family has not been able to get many spiritual stones in a year.

In this world environment where spiritual energy is becoming increasingly thin, there are only a few places where spirit stones can still be produced, and most of the spirit stones now are left over from ancient times.

However, resources will eventually be used up. After years of consumption, spiritual stones are now truly considered rare items.

Lin Feng picked up the spirit stone,

Rubbing it with his hand, the surface of the stone was very smooth, as warm as jade, without the roughness of the stone at all. The spirit stone was as big as an adult's fist, much larger than the spirit stones Lin Feng had seen in his family before.

"Why are there spiritual stones here?" After a brief surprise, Lin Feng thought of this question.

"Could this be a spiritual stone mine preserved from ancient times? No, the spiritual energy here is very thin, so few monks come here. If there is a spiritual stone mine nearby, the spiritual energy here should not be so little."

Lin Feng was talking to himself there, guessing the origin of the spirit stone: "Perhaps Shouhou and the others really guessed it right. This is where a senior buried his treasure?"

After Lin Feng thought for a while, he realized that there was no point in continuing to think about it like a headless fly. There was still a road behind the spirit stone. If he continued to delve deeper, he should be closer to the answer.

However, before that, Lin Feng had to return to the outside of the cave. Since there should be no danger inside, he took Zhu Shan and the two with him. If they were left outside and ignored, it might be more dangerous.

So, Lin Feng took the spirit stone and walked quickly outside. Because he didn't need to be as cautious when going out, Lin Feng returned to the cave entrance in a familiar way after only a moment.

"Brother Lin, you are out. How is it inside? Is there any treasure?" Seeing Lin Feng coming out, Zhu Shan and the other two rushed over in anticipation.

Lin Feng spread his hands, held the spirit stone and said, "You guessed it, it's true."

"Is this the glowing thing? Is it the Night Pearl?" The two of them stared at the spirit stone in Lin Feng's hand without knowing why.

"It's not a night pearl, it's a spiritual stone." Lin Feng explained.

"What is a spiritual stone and can it be eaten?" Zhu Shan asked.

Lin Feng slapped Zhu Shan on the head and scolded: "You are a melon boy, you only know how to eat it. Do you think you can eat rocks?"

"Oh!" Zhu Shan held his head and responded with an aggrieved voice, which made the thin monkey laugh at the side.

Zhu Shan's biggest characteristic is his thick skin. He instantly forgot his embarrassment and asked again: "What is a spirit stone?"

"Spiritual stones, to put it simply, are things that monks use to practice." Lin Feng knew that they wouldn't understand it if he told them it was complicated, so he explained it simply.

"Monk! This is actually for monks!" Zhu Shan and Shouhou were shocked.

Zhu Shan and his wife have lived in Lancun for generations, and it is difficult for monks to come out of Lancun, so they have a very vague concept of monks. In their understanding, everything about monks has nothing to do with them.

"Yes, it's for monks. This cave is very deep. I'm afraid it's dangerous for you to stay outside, so I came out and asked you to go in together. If it's not what I expected, there should be something deep in the cave." Lin Feng said.

.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly. I didn't expect that I, Zhu Shan, would be lucky enough to explore a cave related to monks. It's really exciting to think about it! Maybe I will soar into the sky and join the ranks of monks!"

Zhu Shan urged excitedly.

Not only Zhu Shan, but Shouhou was also very excited. Although they had never seen a monk, they had heard rumors about monks since they were children. In their eyes, monks are omnipotent beings who can go up to the world.

"Well, let's go, but be careful. Although I didn't find any danger inside, I haven't reached the end yet, so I can't be sure it's absolutely safe inside." Lin Feng reminded.
