Hearing Ginseng Sprite Yin Yin say this, Jiang Wen was naturally curious. He himself was helpless against this stone door, so what could the Ginseng Sprite do?
If it had a teleportation technique, he would have used it just now. Whether it was magic or physics, even digging a hole might not work. Although the Ginseng Sprite could enter on its own, that was after all its innate ability, and it certainly couldn't take him with it.
"Oh? You have a way?" Jiang Wen became interested.
"Of course, Yin Yin is very clever." The Ginseng Sprite said with some pride, then sat on Jiang Wen's body and pointed to the two stone lions not far away.
"Big guy, if you can't get in, just ask these two bad guys. They can definitely get in, otherwise why would they guard this door?"
Hearing the Ginseng Sprite's words, Jiang Wen's eyes lit up. He looked at the two stone lions huddled together and nodded in sudden understanding.
"That's right, if these two stone lions were useless, why would the owner who built this cave chain them here? It would be better to let them leave, to avoid others discovering the traces of the cave. It seems that these two stone lions must be related to opening this stone door."
Jiang Wen pondered in his heart, and felt more and more that what the Ginseng Sprite said was right. The opening of this stone door must be related to the stone lions, and even the key to opening it lies in the stone lions themselves.
He walked towards the two stone lions, and the stone lions' faces actually showed a human-like look of panic. They retreated behind them, stopping more than thirty feet away from the stone door. Then, no matter how Jiang Wen approached, they dared not retreat another step.
"It seems that these stone lions are imprisoned within thirty feet of the stone door, so there really is a problem." Understanding in his heart, Jiang Wen walked up to the two stone lions. The stone lions completely lost the sharpness they had at the beginning, and instead lay on the ground in surrender like pitiful puppies.
They also knew that they could not beat the other party, so they were unwilling to resist any further.
"Can you understand my words?" Jiang Wen asked. "Nod if you understand, shake your head if you don't."
Hearing this, the two stone lions hurriedly shook their heads.
Jiang Wen's face sank, and he looked at them coldly. The wooden whip reappeared in his hand, and his eyes were extremely sharp.
"I'll give you one more chance. Nod if you can understand my words, shake your head if you don't. You two must answer honestly. If I find out that you are lying, I will crush your bones to ashes, like this stone!"
As Jiang Wen spoke, he waved the wooden whip towards a boulder beside him. The wooden whip slammed **** into the boulder, and with a cracking sound, the entire stone turned into dust.
"This is the price of deceiving me. I hope you can answer honestly."
Where had the two stone lions seen such a situation? They were so frightened that they buried their heads in the ground and dared not lift them. Seeing Jiang Wen approaching, they looked at each other, and finally lay on the ground and nodded.
Seeing the stone lions like this, Jiang Wen was very satisfied. Holding the wooden whip, he stepped forward and reached out to stroke the stone lions' heads.
"Now tell me, were you imprisoned here by someone?" Jiang Wen asked.
"Then, can you open this stone door?" Jiang Wen pointed to the stone door and asked.
The two stone lions hesitated for a long time, and under Jiang Wen's pressure, they slowly nodded.
"It seems that's right, you are the key to opening this stone door. The formation on the stone door is probably just bait to attract the attention of others." Jiang Wen speculated about the situation of the stone door, and became more and more admired for the owner who built this cave. If it weren't for the Ginseng Sprite's reminder, he would probably have found it difficult to think of the relationship between the stone lions and the stone door. He would only think that the stone lions were gatekeepers, driving away those who came to explore the treasure.
"You're really amazing, Yin Yin." Jiang Wen looked at the Ginseng Sprite on his shoulder and praised it fiercely. The Ginseng Sprite was a little embarrassed by the praise, and shook its head while sitting on Jiang Wen's shoulder.
"Of course, Yin Yin is the smartest, Yin Yin is smarter than everything else." The Ginseng Sprite boasted.
"After exploring this cave, I will give Yin Yin a reward." Jiang Wen smiled, then looked at the stone lions.
"You two, go and open this stone door. If I finish exploring this stone cave, I will break the things that bind you and let you be free, how about that?"
Hearing Jiang Wen's words, the stone lions hesitated for a while, and then happily agreed to his suggestion. After all, they had guarded here for too long and were already tired of their days here. If they could be freed, what would it matter to open a stone door?
The two stone lions looked at each other, then stepped forward and came to the stone door. One stood on the left and one on the right, then stretched out their claws to touch the stone door.
In an instant, white light emanated from the two stone lions, and Jiang Wen couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
When the white light dissipated, he saw two stone lions appearing on the stone door.
At this moment, the huge stone door opened with a bang, shaking everything around it and causing the mountains and rocks to change.
"It seems it's open." Jiang Wen looked at the wide-open cave in front of him. After a pause, he walked towards the cave.
At first, everything was dark, but then it slowly brightened up.
What came into view was an extremely spacious stone cave, with a small river slowly flowing inside.
The banks of the river were covered with fragrant flowers, plants, and trees, and faint blue light insects were flying on those flowers and plants.
Walking to the river, he saw the stone piers in the river. They were used to cross the river, and there were hundreds of them.
Jiang Wen stepped on the stone piers and walked safely towards the opposite bank of the river. But before he could walk far, a huge wave suddenly rose in the river. The waves came in a hurry and surged towards Jiang Wen.
"Ah! A big flood is coming! Yin Yin is scared!"
The Ginseng Sprite shouted, but Jiang Wen looked calmly at the huge waves that were dozens of feet high. Holding the wooden whip, he waved it towards the giant wave.
Using Qi to control the whip, the giant wave was cut off in the middle. The huge river water crashed down, and Jiang Wen stretched out his finger and pinched a magic seal: "Control!"
Pointing at the water, the water obediently gathered to the side. Passing through Jiang Wen's sides, it finally subsided in the river.
"Big guy! You're so awesome!" The Ginseng Sprite looked at Jiang Wen being so powerful and couldn't help but exclaim.
Jiang Wen ignored its flattery, but instead held a ball of river water out of thin air. Placing it in front of his eyes to look closely, he could see glittering light spots in it.
"This river water is not simple either." Jiang Wen drew out the Chunyang Treasure Sword from his back and put it into the river water. Immediately, he saw the sword body being rapidly corroded, and finally turning into powder and merging into the river.
"Water of the Yellow Springs?" Jiang Wen looked at the small river with some surprise.
He had also heard about the Water of the Yellow Springs from Li Yunshang. This was an extremely strange and overbearing water. It could corrode magical treasures and destroy the physical body, just as the Yellow Springs accommodated the dead, hence it was called the Water of the Yellow Springs.
It was just that the Water of the Yellow Springs was hard to find, and perhaps only the Tai Shen Palace had a bottle. But in this cave, there was actually a river of Water of the Yellow Springs.
"This cave is probably not such a simple place." Jiang Wen looked at the depths of the cave again, only feeling that it was full of dangers.
"But since I'm here, I will definitely not return empty-handed."
He calmly stepped on the stone piers and walked slowly towards the inside of the cave.
