5272. Chapter 5272: A Trip to a Foreign Land 158
Seeing this, Leng Xuan moved his steps and walked straight in along the entrance. However, the moment he walked into the entrance, he suddenly felt something vibrating in his arms. At that moment, he reached into his arms and took out a wooden box. When the wooden box was opened, the key inside was vibrating slightly and glowing with a faint green light.
"This is..." Leng Xuan's eyes lit up and he said to himself, "So it's here." This key was given to him by Uncle Zhang. The key is now mutating, which means that what Uncle Zhang wants him to find is here. After putting away the wooden box, Leng Xuan picked up his spirits and continued to move forward along the passage. After walking forward for two minutes, Leng Xuan saw an arch bridge in his sight. Under the arch bridge, water flowed continuously. In addition, Leng Xuan also noticed that there were several frozen corpses lying in the flowing water. Those corpses have been here for unknown years, and their appearance has not changed at all. Moreover, there were still painful expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they had struggled violently before death. Leng Xuan took a few glances and couldn't help but be curious about the identities of these cultivators, and he didn't know how they got here. Shaking his head, Leng Xuan put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and walked towards the other side of the bridge. However, when he reached the middle of the bridge, he suddenly felt an invisible force restraining his legs, making it difficult for him to move forward. Seeing this, the true energy in his body moved to resist the invisible mysterious power. However, the more he resisted, the stronger the mysterious power became, making him unable to move at all.
At the same time, the flowing water under the arch bridge began to gradually rise. After a while, the flowing water had already submerged on the bridge deck. Seeing that the running water was about to touch his body, Leng Xuan's expression couldn't help but change. "What should I do?" As he was thinking, he suddenly remembered the wooden box that Ruan Hewu gave him. At that moment, he quickly took out the wooden box and opened the lid. Suddenly, a square jade piece appeared in his eyes. In the middle of the jade piece, there was also the word "Ruan" engraved on it. Leng Xuan took out the jade piece from the box and took a closer look. He saw that the jade piece was ordinary and did not seem to have any special effects. However, at this moment, a faint purple light suddenly emerged from the jade piece, and then, before Leng Xuan could react, the purple light instantly enveloped his whole body. When the purple light possessed him, Leng Xuan immediately discovered that the mysterious power that trapped him disappeared, and the water under the bridge also receded.
Seeing that the crisis was over, Leng Xuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then, he looked at the jade piece in his hand, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart. If he guessed correctly, it is estimated that only people with the blood of the Ruan family can enter here, and those corpses lying in the water should be the cultivators who found this place by chance. If it hadn't been for the jade piece that saved him just now, he would have become one of those corpses. Putting away the jade pieces, Leng Xuan speeded up, jumped over the arch bridge and walked towards the stone gate in front. When he came to the stone door, Leng Xuan reached out and pushed it, and the thick stone door slowly opened. When Leng Xuan entered the stone door, a human-shaped stone statue suddenly appeared in his sight. The stone statue is an old man, with long hair shawl, hands on his back, and a loose robe with wide sleeves. He looks majestic and imposing.
