Chapter 181 Entering the Cave
Yan Moying extinguished the torch, put it together with the other luggage, and said to Yin Ruchen, "This is it. Put the small jade flute into this groove, and we will enter the cave hidden in this mountain, and then..." As he spoke, he gradually moved away from the peak wall, and Yin Ruchen followed him away from the peak wall, walking beside him and waiting for him to continue. He and Yin Ruchen walked on the thick snow in the open space. He looked at the moon in the sky and continued, "Then travel back to our life more than 700 years ago. By then, you will not be Yin Ruchen, and I will not be Yan Moying." When he said this, he stopped and turned his eyes from the moon in the sky to Yin Ruchen's eyes. Yin Ruchen also stopped, looked at him with nostalgia, and said, "Do you think this is... a farewell? Do you want to say goodbye before you travel back?"
Yan Moying clearly thought that this was a farewell to Yin Ruchen, but he could not suppress his emotions and said stubbornly: "Of course not! There will be no farewell between you and me! We... should never say goodbye!"
"Well... never say goodbye!" Yin Ruchen said firmly.
After looking at each other for a while, Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying opened their arms and embraced each other. The sky was vast, the sea of snow was vast, and the moonlight was bright. This was their first time to embrace each other in this snowy land. At this moment, there was no sound. When thousands of words lingered in their hearts, the other party understood. Time flowed quietly, and under this bright moon, it seemed as if a sacred song was gently playing.
After hugging each other, the two of them used their strength to push the snow on a large area of open space around them to all directions. For a while, the white snow was flying in the low sky, and some of it stuck to Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying. After a while, a large area of open space was no longer covered with snow. In this way, not only did the footprints left by the two of them on the snow disappear, but because the area of the open space no longer covered with snow was large, it was not easy for others to be led to the side of the peak wall with grooves. In fact, Yan Moying knew that even if an unrelated person approached the groove, he would not be able to enter without the little jade flute, because He Taichu told him that when they entered the cave in the peak, the little jade flute would also enter the cave. Yin Ruchen and Yan Moying did this just to be more secure and prevent other unexpected situations.
The two held hands and used Qinggong to reach the peak wall and picked up their luggage. Yan Moying put the small jade flute into the groove at the bottom of the peak wall. With a "click", the small jade flute fell into the groove. The two instantly entered the dark cave and kept sinking. The moment they landed, the lights on the cave wall suddenly lit up.
There are two doors at the bottom of the cave. The left one is open, but the fog is so thick that you can't see what's inside. The right one is tightly closed. In addition to the two doors, there is a larger stone platform. The small jade flute that was previously placed in the groove on the peak wall is now in the groove in the center of the stone platform. It seems to be sucked by the stone platform and cannot be removed.
There was another groove on the cave wall that was exactly the same as the one at the bottom of the peak wall before they entered. The two knew that if they took the small jade flute from the groove in the center of the stone platform and placed it in the groove on the cave wall, they could go out of the cave. However, if they wanted to take out the small jade flute from the groove in the center of the stone platform, they had to wait until they came back from the life more than 700 years ago.
