Chapter 164: The Shocking Secret Behind the Strange Stone Gate
The group stood before the massive stone door, bewildered by the eerie laughter emanating from behind it. Liu Yu mustered his courage and stepped forward, pushing hard against the stone door with both hands, but the door remained as immovable as a towering mountain.
"Why can't I open this door?" Liu Yu muttered, her face full of doubt and resentment.
Xu Xian, trembling behind Bai Suzhen, said in a shaking voice, "Perhaps this door shouldn't have been opened at all. Let's hurry and leave. Who knows what terrible things might be inside... what if..."
Xiaoqing glared at Xu Xian, hands on her hips, and said, "You coward! All you ever do is run away. How will you know what's inside if you don't go in and see? Maybe there's some treasure that can help us!"
Just then, the jinx came over with a grin, his little eyes darting around: "Let me try, maybe I can do something." As he spoke, he circled the stone door a few times, then closed his eyes, shook his head, and muttered something under his breath, looking quite comical.
Suddenly, the stone door creaked open, revealing a narrow crack. A pungent odor immediately wafted out, and everyone instinctively covered their noses.
"What's that smell?" Liu Yu asked, fanning herself frantically with her hand while peering inside curiously.
Inside the door was a huge cave, shimmering with strange, colorful light, like a dream. The Celestial Hound excitedly rushed inside, barking happily, its tail wagging like a propeller.
The group followed cautiously into the cave. Inside, all sorts of rare and precious treasures were piled up like mountains, dazzling the eyes.
"Wow, so many treasures!" Liu Yu's eyes lit up with excitement. Like a child, she ran over and picked up a box inlaid with dazzling gemstones.
But as soon as she opened it, a fat toad jumped out with a "poof," its bulging eyes staring out. Liu Yu screamed in fright, her hand trembling, and she threw the box away.
Looking at Liu Yu's disheveled appearance, Bai Suzhen couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Her smile was as gentle and beautiful as a spring breeze.
Just then, the God of Wealth from Heaven suddenly appeared before everyone. Dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, wearing a golden crown, and holding a golden abacus, he exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear, this is my precious cave! How did you all get in?"
Everyone quickly offered their own explanations.
The God of Wealth shook his head helplessly, sighed, and said, "Since you're here, take a look, but don't touch anything. These treasures are all spiritual; you might cause trouble if you're not careful."
Hearing this, Xu Xian, driven by curiosity, secretly reached out and picked up a crystal-clear jade pendant. But the moment he held it in his hand, the jade pendant instantly transformed into a fuzzy caterpillar, slowly crawling around on his hand. Xu Xian turned pale with fright and quickly threw it away, shaking his hand frantically.
Seeing this, Xiaoqing picked up a sharp sword in a fit of pique. She had only swung it a few times when, with a "crack," the sword broke in two.
Inside the cave, everyone scrambled and grabbed at each other, touching and bumping into things, creating chaos and laughter.
Just then, the cave suddenly began to shake violently, and large and small rocks began to fall from the ceiling.
"Oh no, it's going to collapse!" the jinx shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice distorted.
Everyone panicked and scattered like headless flies. Xu Xian tripped over a stone, and Xiao Qing quickly helped him up. Liu Yu, panting heavily, kept muttering, "What are we going to do? What are we going to do!"
Will they be able to escape the cave successfully? What is causing the cave to shake? Did they accidentally trigger some mechanism, or is there some mysterious force at work? This leaves the next chapter full of suspense and unknowns.
