Idle game leads to another world

Deep in the bamboo forest, there is a thatched hut, a few acres of thin fields, and gurgling springs.

It can't be called a fairyland on earth, but it is also a quiet place to live.

I could still feel the biting ghost air in the previous second, and the next second I came to this quiet place. The change is a bit too big.

Several people walked forward slowly, and soon they found a short stone tablet buried by weeds next to the pebbled road, with "Qinglan Valley" written on it.

Not far away, several white skeletons of large animals appeared in the grass, which should be cows.

Further forward, after passing the well, there is a thatched hut.

The house is not big. Except for the animal shed behind it, it is estimated that only one or two people can live in it. However, the preservation of this thatched house is much better than the buildings outside. The roof is basically still there, but part of the mud brick wall has been transparent.

Standing here and turning to look at the lake, the fairy air is curling and the waves are shining, which is particularly dazzling.

"No one has been here for a long time. Go inside and take a look. Remember not to touch anything that looks weird."

Magic power is unscientific. It allows a highly concentrated ruin to be preserved for tens of thousands of years and still maintain its general appearance.

The same is true for spiritual energy. Perhaps because the spiritual energy here is relatively strong, the thatched house and the cow skeleton outside are still well preserved.

The doors and windows of this thatched house are tightly closed, but they are just tightly closed, not locked.

Qin Yan took the lead and quietly opened the door. Yang Yiyi and Ning Xian'er guarded on both sides and could pull her back immediately if there was any danger.

The door panel made a tooth-grinding noise. After waiting for a while, if there was someone inside, there would definitely be movement, but there was only silence in response.

Qin Yan pushed the door open from the side, glanced inside, and finally walked in.

This thatched house is the same as what you see outside. It is not big. It is not the kind of space expansion that looks like a toilet on the outside, but has a palace inside.

At first glance, the first thing that caught my eye was the straw raincoat and straw hat hanging on the wall, and there were farm tools such as hoes leaning against the wall.

There was a small shelf on the wall on the left side of the door, on which were placed some woodworking tools. There was a stove under the wall next to the door, and the fire smoked the wall black.

On the other side of the stove was a wooden bed filled with straw as a mattress, and a straw mat was laid on it.

Thick dust pressed everything down, almost one finger thick, but apart from the fact that everything was covered with a layer of dust, it was too ordinary and too plain, so plain that people forgot that this place might have been inhabited by immortals.

Before entering, I thought it was a dragon's den, but after entering, I found it was just a thatched house.

Li Chengxi observed through the monitor and was sure that this was not an illusion, it was really a thatched house.

"It doesn't seem to be anything special."

Yang Yiyi also followed in and looked around. The house was just neglected to clean, and it could still be lived in if it was cleaned up properly.

"This is indeed a thatched house, but it's too early to say that there is nothing special about it."

The jade scepter flew out of Yang Yiyi's arms and pointed to the bedside as if Li Chengxi himself:

"There should be a secret door on the ground next to the bed if you chisel it open here."

This thatched house is actually a wooden floor, but the dust is too thick for everyone to see.

Yang Yiyi used the scimitar as a shovel, and with a few swipes, she pushed away the dust at the position where Li Chengxi pointed, revealing something that looked like a trap door, and then she went up and slapped it.

The wooden board broke with a sound, revealing a square hole that was large enough for one person to pass through, and a slightly rotten smell floated up from below.

I turned on the flashlight and shone it down, and found that there was a not-too-deep staircase in the hole.

Everyone walked down the stairs, descended about three or five meters, and stepped back on the ground. This was a small basement.

And once they came down, the most conspicuous thing was a 'crystal ball' placed in the center of the basement.

At first glance, it looked like a crystal ball, but when you get closer, you find that it is actually a glass ball as big as a round fish tank, placed on a mahogany base.

The glass ball seemed to be able to glow by itself. When you stare at it, the faint light began to combine into an image, turning into a mountain range covered with snow.

Qin Yan identified it and said in surprise:

"Isn't this Erlang Mountain?"

The image displayed in the glass ball is exactly the Erlang Mountain Range, as if the entire mountain range was shrunk and stuffed in, and every detail can be seen clearly.

Yang Yiyi was about to raise her hand, but Li Chengxi stopped her and said:

"Don't touch it, didn't I just say, don't touch anything weird?"

While saying this, Li Chengxi was typing quickly, asking Lei Lei what this thing was.

The identification function of God is not omnipotent. Li Chengxi opened the item attributes and only wrote "glass ball full of mana".

What's the use of not writing it at all.

Since only Li Chengxi can see the picture displayed on the monitor, and he can't take pictures with his mobile phone, Li Chengxi relies entirely on text descriptions, and is a little worried that it is not accurate enough.

Fortunately, Lei Lei was reliable and sent a message back quickly.

"This is a mountain and river ball."

It sounds like a very powerful treasure, but in fact it is a remote control for controlling the cave...

The snake demon cave that Yang Yiyi had visited before was actually a poor peasant cave. The real cave of the cultivators would be very large.

And the cultivators rarely share the cave with others, usually alone.

It is very troublesome for one person to manage a huge cave, so there is a thing like the mountain and river ball.

Lei Lei said that the Mountain and River Ball is very fragile. Its main function is to manage the energy flow in the cave.

And if the cave is not managed for a long time, the energy flow will certainly have problems. When it reaches a certain threshold, the Mountain and River Ball will turn into a handful of clear water and disappear.

Oh, yes, it looks like glass on the outside, but it is actually a ball of water.

Erlang Mountain has been deserted for at least a thousand years. The immortals who once lived here had left even earlier. The Mountain and River Ball is still there, which means that the energy flow in Erlang Mountain has always been relatively stable, so it has been preserved.

However, this is not monitoring, nor is it a shortcut key that can move mountains and seas through it. It is just a remote control for convenient energy adjustment.

So don't expect to see things like the activities of people in the valley through it.

"In short, don't touch it. You don't know how to control it. Touching it randomly may cause big trouble."

The monks pay attention to the balance of the five elements. Although Erlang Mountain is not a small world opened up independently, it has been isolated from the outside world by magic.

The natural balance of the outside world cannot affect here, so the Mountain and River Ball needs to be adjusted artificially.

If someone who doesn't know how to do it tries, the most likely result is an energy imbalance, which will not cause a big explosion, but the failure of all the magic in Erlang Mountain.

Hearing Li Chengxi say not to touch it, everyone stepped back and shone the flashlight in other directions.

Coincidentally, a set of bamboo tables and chairs appeared in the corner, which looked like they had been used for a long time and were covered with patina.

On the table were several pen holders, inkstones and ink blocks, as well as a bamboo slip that looked extraordinary.
