The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 502 - 291 Extremely Yin Land_2

On a night with a black moon and high winds, she stood in front of the small courtyard in this mountain range amidst the howling night wind. She thought, all elements of a ghost story are present, dear author, do you really think this is the Lanruo Temple from "A Chinese Ghost Story"?

This journey westward truly broadened her experiences; otherwise, Ning Xiaoxian from Shallow Water Village would never dare to venture into such a creepy place.

She sighed softly and was about to step forward when Tu Jin shook his head and said, "No, something’s off!" She immediately retracted her footsteps. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"The Extreme Yin Cave should be within a few thousand miles of the most extreme yin area. If it were really here, even though it’s the height of summer in July, frost should have formed on the vegetation here. The saying goes that the earth here loses the warmth of the sun, and gold here generates cold yin, making it hard for all living things to thrive. But looking at the scenery here, the trees grow vigorously, and their canopies cover the sky, which does not resemble the characteristics of an Extremely Yin Land."

Changtian interjected, "Perhaps others think the same as you do, and that’s why this yin land is still under the name of Wu Mansion to this day. Otherwise, if the characteristics of Extremely Yin Land could be easily recognized, countless cultivators would have tried to seize it over the centuries."

Tu Jin’s expression changed: "What does the Divine Monarch mean?"

Changtian stated firmly, "Face Reading cannot be wrong, unless the cave has been tampered with by human actions. But since the Wu Family built the Manor here, they must have intended to guard it, not to destroy it. You two go ahead into the Manor, but be very cautious."

Tu Jin and Qi Zai, one in front and one behind, protected Ning Xiaoxian in the middle as they slowly pushed open the Manor gate and walked in.

The Manor had probably not had visitors for a long time. As the gate was pushed open, it emitted a long, hoarse "creak" sound. A gust of autumn wind blew by, rustling the fallen leaves on the ground. She couldn’t help but grip the Tusk tightly. Girls are inherently cautious about dark things, even if she has entered the realm of Cultivation and possesses Divine Skills.

Yet, Tu Jin was somewhat excited because he once again felt the aura from Mr. Wu that attracted him. "That must be the Extreme Yin Qi, right here. At least nearby."

The Manor possesses everything expected of a large mansion: entrance hall, bedrooms, side rooms, firewood room, kitchen, and of course, an ancestral hall. They went through each one but found nothing unusual, only emptiness and solitude everywhere. Mr. Wu said, the entrance to the cave was in the Manor, but where exactly?

After pondering for quite some time, Changtian decided to release the Ding Ning Bees. Over ten little bees flew around searching for the unusual spots. Unfortunately, their small size meant they couldn’t find anything unusual instantly.

She frowned and said, "It’s as if no one has lived here for over a hundred years. The Wu Family stays nearby every summer; why don’t they tidy up the Manor?"

Tu Jin shook his head, "This place is too heavy with yin energy; it’s uninhabitable. A mortal daring to live here would fall severely ill within half a year and surely die within ten years. It must be that the Wu Family, advised by an expert, built their mansion half a mile away, avoiding the yin energy here."

She, unconvinced, said, "Mr. Wu found the entrance to the cave when he was just a young child. If a little child could find it, how could we possibly not be able to find it?"

Thus, several people began to search separately. She almost turned the side rooms and the main bedroom upside down, but still found no useful clues. Now, the four-sided courtyard seemed too large, the rooms too many; with just the efforts of three people, how could they find a hidden entrance in this pitch-black night?

Wait, hidden? Mr. Wu’s memory of how he found the entrance to the cave was very vague, probably because he was too young at the time, so Tu Jin couldn’t find the way to enter the cave in his mind either. But to what extent would a child’s mischief unknowingly trigger this entrance?

The location of the entrance must be secluded, otherwise the original inhabitants would have inadvertently opened it. But what could children easily touch that adults might easily overlook?

She lightly leapt to the ridge of the main hall’s roof, overlooking the entire yard while activating her Seeing the micro and knowing the macro Divine Sense, her Divine Sense spread like a tide in all directions, not missing any minute detail.

The spiderwebs on the pillars, the sneaky geckos under the eaves, the torn window paper of the eastern wing room, the dewdrops falling from the grass leaves in the courtyard, the wind passing through the ancestral hall... In her mind, she reconstructed a model of Wu Family Mansion, sinking deep into thought, deciphering every unusual trace.

Among these places, which areas could a child reach?

She opened her eyes. In this silent building, only one roof was constructed higher than her position.

"The ancestral hall!" Changtian and she exclaimed in unison.

She gently floated down. Without waiting for her call, Tu Jin and Qi Zai had already appeared beside her, and the three entered the ancestral hall together. This place was usually off-limits to adults but had no constraints for children, who always fantasized about sneaking in for an adventure.

The ancestral hall of the Wu Family, like those of other families, appeared even more spacious and eerie in the deep night and was dusty due to long neglect.

The three began a thorough examination.

This place had a history of several hundred years, and the Wu Family’s ancestral tablets were neatly arranged on top of the hall. After a while, Tu Jin said softly, "Maybe it’s here." He pointed to a location right at the corner of the table, where a subtle arc-shaped imprint was slightly less dusty than the surroundings.

The three looked at each other in surprise and exclaimed, "Could it be a Mechanism?" Only mortals liked to set up mechanisms. But even Changtian had to admit that the old art of setting mechanisms was indeed suitable for hiding items because there was no Mana fluctuation at all.

Immediately, Qi Zai and Ning Xiaoxian stepped out of the ancestral hall, letting Tu Jin gently push the designated tablet. Perhaps, back then, Mr. Wu had also inadvertently bumped into the tablet, thus discovering the entrance to the cave?(To be continued.
