Chapter 519 The three siblings finally reunite in the secret realm
There are eight symbols on the stone house wall, including the first one that was discovered.
These eight locations are at different heights and with varying spacing, seemingly chaotic, but Wenwen understands that their presence here is anything but simple.
She looked at Aying and pointed to the eight symbols. "Guess what these mean?"
"I don't know." Aying spread her wings and shook them, tilting her head as she said, "I can't guess."
Wenwen really wanted to retort to its blunt tone. She was supposed to be helping it find its former owner, but how could it act like such a hands-off manager? It knew nothing about anything, what a waste of its ancient identity.
Since Aying's guess was unhelpful, she decided to guess it herself.
So Wenwen circled around these symbols, standing in front of one symbol for a while, looking up at it, then squatting down in front of another, studying it with her head down. She went up and down, high and low, back and forth several times.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and an image popped into her head.
That was a game that Master Zhou played in the bamboo courtyard classroom in the valley when he was introducing the basic knowledge of formations to everyone.
It seems that everyone is just arranging a very simple formation for distinguishing directions, going up and down and back and forth.
Before Aying could react, Wenwen flashed into the space.
"Aying, I think I know."
Before she could even get a foothold on the earthen slope, she ran towards the small courtyard. Once inside, she hurriedly went to find the basic array book that she had placed aside.
After much searching, I finally found that tattered book.
"Oh! I found it!" Wenwen exclaimed happily.
"What did you find?" Aying asked, puzzled. "Is it related to my portrait?"
“Of course!” Wenwen said excitedly, “So your former owner left you some clues, but it overestimated your abilities!”
"Hehehe, thank goodness I came, thank goodness Master Zhou taught us the basics of formations, and thank goodness I still remember a little bit..."
Wenwen rattled off a bunch of "thank goodness," her voice brimming with smugness and self-satisfaction.
Aying gave her a perfunctory compliment, "Master, you're amazing!", before she stopped.
Wenwen opened the book and carefully reviewed the simulation demonstration until she was fully prepared before leaving the space.
Sure enough, following the method in the book, they quickly found the clues left by the previous owner. The general idea was to go 100 miles north to find a cliff cave. There was a spiritual herb next to the cave entrance, guarded by a third-tier demon beast. They were to kill the demon beast and enter the cave to find the clues.
Since this is a clue left by Aying's former master's family.
Since she promised Aying, let's go find her!
Wenwen resigned herself to her fate.
So, Aying once again took her through the secret realm's high mountains, forests, lakes, and plains.
They found the cliffside cave, killed the monster, deciphered the clues inside, and then headed to the next location.
Unbeknownst to them, the man and the bird had spent more than a month in the secret realm.
For more than a month, I was either on the road looking for clues or on the way to solve them, over and over again, day after day, looking for clues, solving clues, looking for clues, solving clues.
They climbed cliffs, traversed piles of rocks, scaled tree hollows, crossed swamps, slew monsters, and obtained precious spiritual plants and medicines.
Of course, these were all unavoidable demonic beasts. Once the demonic beasts were killed, the spiritual plants and herbs they guarded would naturally belong to her.
So, I've gained quite a bit in the past month or so, and at least my efforts haven't been in vain.
On this day, Wenwen and Aying arrived at the last clue location—the cave to the north.
"Huh, why are there no traces here?"
Wenwen searched the cave walls carefully several times, but still couldn't find those special symbols. "Aying, you start from that end, and I'll start from this end. Let's walk together to the middle and search carefully again."
"I refuse to believe it. We're already here, how could we just disappear?"
Next, the master and servant meticulously searched every inch of the stone wall, almost as if they were missing a magnifying glass.
Just as she and Aying were about to meet up, Wenwen unconsciously patted a protruding rock with her palm.
Suddenly, the stone shrank back.
In the blink of an eye, Wenwen put Aying back into her spatial dimension.
The next second, a beam of light shot out from the crack in the rock, quickly enveloping her. In an instant, she vanished from the spot, and the cave returned to silence, empty and devoid of anything.
Wenwen felt as if she had been pulled into a deep, dark hole. The weightlessness of her body made her realize that she was falling rapidly, falling.
Instinctively, she wanted to immediately circulate her spiritual power to protect herself, but to her surprise, her spiritual power could not circulate smoothly and she could not cast any spells.
OK?
She refused to believe it and tried several more times, but nothing changed.
Now my life is in danger!
As Wenwen was lost in thought, the descent was nearing its end. She looked down and seemed to see the ground, and then, with a thud, she lay on the ground.
"Ouch, my back, my diaper rash—"
Although the fall hurt a bit, a few meters from the ground, she could feel a sudden surge of energy lifting her up and relieving some of the force of her fall; otherwise, the pain from the fall would have been much greater.
Just as Wenwen was still in a daze, two pleasant voices came from the darkness.
"Sister! Is that you?"
This is heavenly music! Isn't it!
"Big brother, second brother? Is that you?"
Wenwen looked around in the dark cave, but unfortunately, it was pitch black and there was no light at all.
In a moment of quick thinking, I managed to retrieve my phone from my spatial storage. Thank goodness, I could take out the items from my storage.
She turned on her phone and the flashlight, and saw Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin not far away.
The three siblings actually met up here. They were originally supposed to meet in the cave to the north, but who knew they would meet in the underground cave below the cave.
Is this considered a vulnerability? Is it considered a bug?
Who cares what it is, what matters is that the three siblings have finally reunited in the secret realm.
"Big brother, second brother, how did you get in here?"
“Little sister, let me tell you,” Wen Chengbin interjected, “You have no idea how terrified I was after I fell here. I couldn’t circulate my spiritual energy, and I couldn’t use any spells. I was truly screaming to the heavens…”
Before he could finish speaking, Wen Chengjian interrupted him, "Wen'er is asking how you got in here? By the way, you still haven't told me how you got in here."
"Oh, this?" Wen Chengbin said mysteriously, "Well, that's a long story."
"Then let's get straight to the point!" Wenwen and Wenchengjian said in unison.
"Uh...okay."
However, before getting to the point, Wen Chengbin dropped a bombshell.
"Big brother, little sister, I have some news to tell you. I heard it from someone else. Do you want to hear it?"
"Speak your mind, or shut up!"
Wen Chengjian grew impatient. What time was it? His second brother was still acting mysterious and dawdling. He glared at Wen Chengbin.
The latter swallowed hard and said, "Chu Yiren said she saw her grandmaster and Uncle Ye here."
"What--"
