Chapter 1001: No, it’s better
Whether or not it was the opposite, he would know after he tried the right last kick and treated it as the first. Xu Cheng took the last step of shadow fist as the first step and stepped down. When he saw that the traps and hidden weapons did not react, he knew that he had guessed correctly. The hourglass was a hint that you should go back in the opposite direction. Xu Cheng was very familiar with the steps of the shadow fist, and he performed it backward. Then, the stone door closed, and when it opened again, Xu Cheng saw the ancestral tablets of the ancestors. He ran over, knelt down, and kowtowed.”Thank you for the things that our ancestors left behind.” But this time, there was no movement from the stone gate. Xu Cheng blinked his eyes, a little startled. He had indeed activated the mechanism by kowtowing. There was nothing wrong with doing it this time, so why didn’t the stone door move? Xu Cheng kowtowed again, using a little more force, but there was still no reaction. He was puzzled. It felt like the schemes and intrigues outside weren’t as scheming as the ones inside. Xu Cheng stood up. He could only look around again to find the problem. The entire imperial residence was rather dark. He couldn’t light up the entire room with the fire rack in his hand, but Xu Cheng didn’t want to let go of any clues. With his experience in criminal investigation, he looked for any clues or flaws. However, he did not find any clues or hints like the hourglass on the fourth floor. Xu Cheng took a look to make sure he didn’t miss out on any details, and he just stood there in a daze. To be honest, he didn’t really believe that the mechanism would be on those memorial tablets, because the person who designed it must be a Xu family member. Then, there was no way he would use the memorial tablets of the deceased to design the mechanism, that would be disrespectful to the ancestors. So, Xu Cheng immediately gave up on the idea of moving those tablets. However, he inadvertently slipped into the Imperial Hall’s big red cloth table. After flipping over the red cloth, he looked for any mechanisms under the table. Then, he also groped around the four legs of the table and the bottom of the table. Feeling a little defeated, Xu Cheng saw the Golden Ash jar on the red cloth table. There was a stick of incense stuck in it, and Xu Cheng tried to turn the incense ash jar. Seeing that the stone door didn’t respond, he lifted the incense ash jar again, but there was still no reaction. Finally, he focused his attention on the incense stick. After hesitating for a moment, he pulled it out. However, there was still no response from the stone door. Xu Cheng was confused. Just as he was about to turn around and continue searching in other places, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to stare at the incense stick. An incense that had not been burnt out? There must be a reason for this! Xu Cheng looked at the fire rack in his hand. After a moment of silence, he reached out to pick up the incense stick and lit it up. Then, he put the fire to the side and sincerely bowed to his ancestors. Then, he put the incense stick into the ash jar. The next moment, the force he used to stick the incense seemed to have touched the mechanism inside the incense jar. The stone door closed heavily and then opened again, and Xu Cheng saw the Arsenal on the other side. He took a deep breath. Finally, they reached the second floor. He lifted the fire rack, carried his backpack, and walked to the Armory on the second floor. Then, he reached out for the saber that had opened the stone door before. The stone door closed again and then opened. Then, Xu Cheng saw the bones outside and the path to the waterfall, because as the stone door opened, he heard the sound of the huge waterfall. After Xu Cheng successfully walked out, he directly walked towards the passage of the waterfall. It turned out that the white light outside was already shining brightly, and it seemed like it was daybreak. He had been inside for a whole night, and time really passed by quickly. But as for how to get out of this waterfall cave, it gave Xu Cheng another problem. That was because the books in his backpack could not be wet. The paper, which was not durable after being stored for too long, would not be worth it if it was wet and torn. This kind of martial arts emphasized one less word. Even the artistic conception could be misunderstood and cause Qi deviation. Therefore, he really could not afford any loss. Thinking of this, Xu Cheng had no choice but to let himself feel the feeling of walking into hell again. How to get in and how to get out. He made use of the explosive point of his genetic ability to rush out of the waterfall and ensure that he wouldn’t fall into the water. This way, his bundle would be able to prevent itself from getting wet. Thinking of this, Xu Cheng quickly fed himself some organic food, indicating that he was going to be in so much pain again from the damn blood poison. It was early in the morning, and Xu banxian was looking for Xu Cheng around the waterfall with a cane. Just as he was looking around, all of a sudden, the middle part of the waterfall seemed to have broken off, and an unknown object rushed out like a cannonball, jumping out of the stone towards sun Wuzi. Xu Cheng’s whole body flew in the air and rushed towards the steps on the opposite cliff. However, because of the blood poison, he couldn’t control his consciousness and freedom, so the inertia was too strong, and his whole body slammed into the stone wall. Without the tortoiseshell, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted. Fortunately, not long after, Xu banxian rushed over and called for people to carry him back to the village. When Xu Cheng woke up, he saw that there was only the old man Xu banxian in the wooden house. He was curled up like a dog, holding a cane in both hands, and looking at the back of his relatives working in the distance. “You’re awake? Are you poisoned?” Xu banxian asked him curiously. Xu Cheng saw that his head was blown up and he felt a little dizzy, but he didn’t forget to answer Xu banxian’s question. “Old man, do you think there’s a way to live forever in this world?” The old man laughed.”How is that possible? so many emperors in history wanted to live forever. I’ve heard that the oldest one was the Taoist of Taichi, but he passed away at only 150 years old. There is no way to live forever in this world, and it’s impossible. As long as you can’t get rid of your body, your body will be a burden. It will age and decay, and it will exhaust you. That’s why some people practice internal energy to nourish their internal organs first, so that they can maintain a strong state. That’s why there are martial arts. However, it was still unable to make one’s physical body immortal. Thus, those preachers began to cultivate their consciousness. The so-called art of nurturing the spirit, they wanted their consciousness to live forever in this world, but that was all nonsense. There is no such thing as immortality in this world. ” Xu Cheng: “but I met someone who’s 200 years old, but still looks like a child. This time, I was injured by him, and I don’t know if I can survive. So, I came here this time to see if there are any descendants of the Xu family. I haven’t really seen a real family member in my life.” Xu banxian sighed and looked at his relatives.””Sometimes, it’s a good thing to have nothing. At least you don’t have any ties or concerns.”
