Wuxia: An Immortal Taught Me Scientific Martial Arts Training

Chapter 17 A Message Left on the Wall

"Eight of twelve, move up one space! Success!"

Now that the night has gradually faded, the images on the stone wall no longer flicker so frequently.

The group managed to seize the last bit of time and successfully restored the entire painting.

A rumbling sound came from the valley, and the frame in front of everyone, along with the entire painting, began to move backward.

Wei Ziheng was overjoyed, his efforts of more than twenty years had finally paid off, and he had finally cracked the mechanism.

The others were also extremely excited, anticipating the treasure hidden behind the stone wall.

While Xiao Xuan appeared excited, he was actually very nervous. He glanced at Su Qing and noticed that she had her arms crossed over her chest, making it impossible to see the subtle movements in her hands.

At this moment, Mai Shuangji's gaze met Xiao Xuan's, and both of them looked somewhat at a loss.

Rumble~

Just then, the stone wall stopped moving with a crack, leaving a long passage in front of everyone.

"It's stopped! The stone wall has stopped!"

Sha Peng shouted and was about to leap up when he suddenly shuddered and turned to look at Lei Long.

"Chief Lei..."

Lei Long snorted coldly and stared at the seemingly endless passage in deep thought for a moment.

"Please, everyone!"

Seeing Lei Long's instruction, Sha Peng immediately leaped up and used the cliff face to take three steps to reach the passage.

Immediately afterward, Wang Hong also jumped up. Although his lightness skill was much better than Sha Peng's, he still managed to gain some leverage from the cliff face.

Riko Furukawa and Shuangji Mai also jumped up at the same time, with the latter clearly holding back some of his skills.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan did not use his full strength, and took two steps on the cliff before climbing onto the passage.

When it came to Wei Ziheng, he simply used his long staff to prop himself up and then brought himself over.

Lei Long was even more ferocious. He grabbed Su Qing, gathered his strength, and leaped up using the explosive power of his true energy.

As the group entered the passage, they discovered that it wasn't completely dark all around.

A faint emerald green light emanated from the other end of the passage.

If you had to describe this light in four words, it would be "glittering with pearls and jewels".

"Please, everyone!"

As they got closer to this point, Lei Long became more cautious, fearing there might be other traps, so he told the others to go first.

Sha Peng, a man who is greedy for money and lacks cunning, was naturally the first to rush in.

He ran straight towards the green light, and after passing the end, he immediately called out to everyone.

"Come quick!"

"What? Did you find something?"

Lei Long was also very anxious. Seeing that there was no danger, he rushed over immediately, and the others quickened their pace as well.

Xiao Xuan, who was walking at the back, thought for a moment and then decided to follow.

"Where is this place?"

"Island Master Wei?"

"I don't know either!"

At the end of the passage was a semi-circular stone chamber. There were no gold or silver treasures inside, and apart from a jade statue in the middle of the cave, the surroundings were visibly empty.

Soon everyone's attention was focused on the statue.

"This woman..."

"It's so beautiful..."

Unlike valleys, rocks are not exposed to as much wind and sun, so this jade carving is extremely well preserved, with delicate features that look just like a real person.

Unlike Su Qing's vulgar beauty with her seductive charm, the woman in the jade statue has a half-smile, and her eyes reveal a compassion that sees right through people, making people feel sorry for her while also being afraid to get close.

As Su Qing carefully observed the jade statue, a strong sense of jealousy suddenly arose in her heart, and her gaze towards the statue became angry.

"It's that woman again! Who is she anyway? She's such an eyesore!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Long raised his hand, intending to smash it towards the jade statue.

"No, Chief Lei!" Wang Hong immediately stepped forward to dissuade him. "This is a sculpture made of mutton-fat jade, and the craftsmanship is so exquisite. It must be priceless. It wouldn't be a wasted trip to bring it back!"

"Pooh!"

Lei Long gave Wang Hong a disdainful look.

"Do I lack money? I need the blueprints! The legendary Thunderbolt Hall firearms blueprints!"

Wang Hong's lips twitched slightly, and he took several steps back, genuinely feeling sorry for her.

"Oh shit..."

At this moment, Wei Ziheng had already circled the room once and stopped in front of the jade statue.

"Chief Lei, don't be anxious. This must be the second trial left by the Ingenious Immortal."

"Is there a second level?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Long became even more agitated, clearly not having considered this point, and quickly began to discuss it quietly with He Suqing.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan's gaze also swept around, as if he had seen something extraordinary.

The arched stone wall was covered with many characters, now entirely covered in moss, extending all the way to the top.

At the top are seven holes the size of large bowls, through which one can even see the starry sky. The green light inside the room is the moonlight shining through the holes and reflecting off the jade statue.

"Island Master Wei, have you discerned anything?"

Lei Long and Su Qing discussed something, and judging from his attitude, he seemed to intend to have Wei Ziheng solve the mechanism again.

Wei Ziheng also saw through the mystery of the hole on the top of his head, and answered directly:

"Judging from the marks on this wall, there should be some inscriptions behind it. Please clean it up."

Now that things had come to this, no one had any more complaints and immediately began cleaning up.

In a short while, all the writing on the cave walls appeared before everyone's eyes.

These inscriptions are divided into three parts. The first part has a lot of words and is written in the style of a letter.

The second part is a poem, and the last part is strange symbols that no one has ever seen before, but Xiao Xuan understands the meaning of these symbols; they are lowercase English letters.

In addition, there is a tightly closed stone door on the wall, and next to the stone door is a jade pendant-shaped groove.

"Another jade pendant. This must be a shortcut left behind by the ingenious immortal."

"That's the only way to think about it." Wei Ziheng looked up and read, "We still have to start with these things."

"This is... a letter left by the Mechanical Sage?"

Everyone fell silent, each reading the words left behind by the ingenious immortal.

"This letter was written forty-nine years after the three of us came into this world."

Who would have thought that three teacher trainees would change the world?

Knowing my days are numbered, I can only leave behind various traces to tell future generations about my love for you.

That despicable Zhou Renjie, knowing our intentions, always deliberately misinterprets the meaning of my words when relaying them.

What's even more hateful is that he bribed Kong Ruzi to forge my notes, sow discord between us, and hurt Xia Xiaomei.

I am no match for him in sweet talk and cunning schemes, nor am I nearly as good as him in martial arts.

Now that he has become emperor, he has trapped me on this small island, where I can only yearn for him every night.

I hate myself, I bless you, and I curse him!

"The king is not to be trusted. If it is truly you who has come to see me and reads these words, please leave him, not for my sake, but for your own."

The two hundred-odd characters on the stone wall reveal a great deal of information.

Xiao Xuan stood there stunned, never expecting that there were not two, but three time travelers. The woman carved on the jade statue was the third time traveler, in addition to the Ingenious Immortal and the Emperor Taizu.
