"I'm fine!" Li Mu hurriedly reassured his wife.
Everyone gathered around, asking questions about what had happened.
Li Mu stabilized his mind and spoke, "What did you all see down there?"
What do you see?
Just saw you jump out of nowhere in good time, nothing else.
The crowd was unsure, and Lin Wan replied, "I didn't see anything, I only saw that after you ascended the high platform, you let out an ouch and jumped straight down."
The others nodded their heads, saying they saw the same thing.
Lin Wan asked, "Hubby, what's wrong with you, why did you jump down?"
"There's a mystery up there!"
The third aunt pursued, "Son, what did you see?"
"I saw a cave, surrounded by cliffs, and that cave was directly in front of me, and I feared a trick, which is why I jumped down."
"Illusion Formation!" Second Grandpa concluded, "There is an illusion formation on top of the high platform, it seems that the answer to opening the entrance to the treasure should be in the illusion formation."
"I'll go!" Third Auntie took the initiative to say, "The ancestor's illusion formation shouldn't make things difficult for the Shen family, it's safer for me to go."
"Mother, I'll accompany you, so we can take care of each other." Li Mu immediately said.
"Alright, son accompany me up there, let's see our ancestors together, mother and son."
The two of them going to break in together was considered a strong team, and the crowd didn't have any other suggestions but to agree to take their chances.
Climbing up a high platform more than ten meters high was not a difficult task for the third aunt.
But the old lady doesn't want to go through that trouble, so why not use her son?
The third auntie was contentedly lying on Li Mu's back, carried by Little Brother Li, and ascended to the high platform.
The mother came up and immediately both froze.
But see, the high platform is still a high platform, the stone beast is still a stone beast, there are no cliffs, not to mention that so-called cave.
The two men looked at me and I looked at you, and the third aunt asked in a low voice, "Son, are you mistaken?"
"Impossible, I'm sure I'm not mistaken, it's so strange how it's back to normal."
Lin Wan shouted from below, "Hubby, how's it going?"
"Nothing has changed, all the visions from earlier have disappeared."
The crowd was puzzled, and Master Handle asked Master Two, "What's going on here, Second Brother?"
"It's hard to say, let me think about it." Second Grandpa said with a frown.
Then he shouted to the duo on the high platform, "Third sister, you guys go check out that stone beast!"
Hearing the instructions from below, the Third Aunt and Li Mu began to carefully approach the stone beast, their movements slow and ready to escape at any time.
The stone beast had been lying there, always motionless, with a harmless appearance, until they came to their side, there was still no reaction.
Reimu reached out and kicked its ass and couldn't help but eep.
"What's wrong?" The third aunt asked.
"Why doesn't it feel like stone, it's soft, could it be a living thing?"
The third aunt also kicked it with her foot, and it was hard, clearly a rock.
"Nonsense, it's just stone, how could you feel that way?"
"I don't know, maybe my shoes are soft!"
Without caring, the third aunt turned to the front of the stone beast and looked down at it carefully.
"Son, come here and see what this is."
Li Mu went over to inspect it, and after half a day of scrutinizing it, he didn't see what kind of animal it was.
Those below began to ask what was going on up there.
Li Mu shouted to them, "There is something strange about the shape of this stone beast, I don't know what kind of animal it is, say a cat is not a cat, say a dog is not a dog, especially its ears, they are long and pointy, I have never seen such long ears before."
Lin Wan asked, "Could it be a long-eared fox?"
Li Mu scrutinized it for a while longer and shouted at her, "No, the Long-eared Fox's ears are erect, its ears are too long and droop down next to its head, like two braids."
"Third sister, did you find anything unusual?" Second Grandpa asked from below.
"No, apart from a stone beast, there's nothing special, and the vision that Brother Mu saw just now didn't appear either, everything is normal here, there's no mystery."
There was a lot of talk and no one could figure out what was going on.
Just as they were puzzled, the unexpected happened again and there was a new change on stage.
The change came from Little Brother Lee, who, simply put, had his bad hand again.
While the third aunt was communicating with someone, Li Mu kicked the stone beast's shoulder with his foot, and it still felt soft, not like a stone at all.
He found it so strange that he couldn't help but reach out and touch the stone beast's ears.
It's soft, it's long, and it looks like two ribbons in your hand.
I don't know if Little Brother Li's brain is out of whack or not, he somehow managed to tie a bow.
After completing the maneuver, he stood and admired his work of art, thinking that the look was quite nice and much smoother than two large braids.
As it happened, the third aunt looked back and immediately screamed in terror.
The people below were taken aback and rushed to ask what had happened.
The Third Aunt instructed Li Mu, "Go, get down there!"
Little Brother Li was also a little nervous by her, not sure what was wrong with the old lady.
However, Niang was an expert in arts and crafts, and what she felt afraid of was definitely not a good thing, so without saying a word, he directly picked up his third aunt and jumped down from the high platform.
The crowd gathered around and Second Grandpa nervously asked, "Third sister, what's happening up there, why are you so nervous?"
The Third Aunt's palpitating heart said in horror, "Guess what I saw?"
The crowd looked at each other, who knows what you see, this stall, you old man still hang what appetite ah!
"Third sister, say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush."
"A bow, I can't believe I saw a bow, the stone statue's long ears turned into bows!"
The crowd was shocked, the ear of the stone statue turned into a bow, how is it possible, how can a stone change, this is too unbelievable!
How could they know that the culprit was Little Brother Li.
This is still the result of not enough time, if there is enough time, he can weave out a Chinese knot.
Li Mu did not dare to say anything, wanting to admit his mistake, but afraid of being scolded, he simply chose to shut up and not say anything.
In his heart, he was horrified.
It seems that Mother sees something very different from what I see.
In her eyes it was a stone beast, in mine it was an oddity, not a stone anyway.
Second Grandpa frowned and asked, "Third sister, did you see it wrong?"
"Ask my son if you don't believe me, he saw it too."
"Moo, is your mother right?"
"Ah, yeah, I didn't pay much attention, it looks like a bow."
This whole thing gets weird, it's unbelievable how the shape of a stone statue can still change.
"You guys wait here, I'll go up and take a look!"
After the second grandfather finished speaking, he climbed up to the high platform alone, and after looking at it for a few moments, he slid down the pillar, and the expression on his face became serious.
Master Handler asked, "Second Brother, how is the situation?"
"Third sister wasn't wrong, the stone beast's two ears were tied in a bow, it was inexplicable."
Several other family heads felt curious and went up to inspect.
When they came back, they were all amazed and simply couldn't figure out what the change meant.
After pondering for a while, Second Grandpa asked Li Mu, "Brother Mu, repeat what you saw the first time."
Li Mu took the scene he saw for the first time and retold it, he said it very carefully and did not add to it, trying to restore the situation as real as possible.
"Second Brother, you have a judgment?" The third aunt asked.
"There's probably something, that illusion formation is only effective for Brother Mu, or rather, it's only effective for the first person who ascends to the high platform, and unless something happens to Brother Mu, then he's the only one among us who can see the entrance to the illusion formation."
"Does Second Brother mean that only one person can break through at a time?"
"Yes, that's what I meant."
The crowd seemed to understand, and they all turned their gazes to Li Mu.
The latter nodded, "I'm not hiding anything from you all, I think so too, I was the first one to go up to the high platform and the only one to see the vision, perhaps, I'm also the first one to have the qualification to break through the barrier."
"Moo, go back up there yourself and make sure that the illusion is still there?" The Third Aunt instructed.
Li Mu agreed and went up to the high platform in a few steps, then rolled down.
"There it is, the same cave, surrounded by cliffs, exactly as I first saw it."
Everyone stopped talking, Lin Wan tugged Li Mu to the side and whispered, "I forbid you to go!"
"Wife, if I don't go, other than the Shen family, all the other families will see us as enemies, don't forget that the Lin family's oldest is still eyeing us, once we have another feud with another family, I'm afraid that it will be hard for us to escape death even if we run back to the continent."
"I... I don't trust you!"
"There's nothing to worry about, don't forget that I have my advantage, I can stay awake in the illusion formation, that's my guarantee to get out of this, the seven realms in the Valley of Dreaming Specter can't even be difficult for me, this illusion formation won't be able to stop me either."
Seeing that the couple had been muttering for a long time, the crowd was not at liberty to take a stand, but only patiently waited on the side.
After a while, Li Mu pulled Lin Wan back.
He said to everyone, "I'll go up and give it a try, if I don't come back, I hope you all will leave immediately, it's not that I'm looking down on all of you heroes, if I can't break through the illusionary array, you all can't break through it either."
The General nodded his head and said, "We'll listen to you, don't worry, nephew, we have our own measure and won't joke with our lives."
"One more thing, in case something happens to me, please keep my family safe for the rest of my life."
"Good, in case something unfortunate happens to Shiyi nephew, I, the Feng family, will keep your family safe for the rest of your life."
"My Zhao family too!"
"Count the Shaw family!"
......
After the crowd took their stance, they all used their eyes to look at the Lin Family's Eldest with intentionality and a threatening undertone.
From the beginning of the treasure hunt, the Lin family's oldest had always kept his mouth shut, and now, even after being threatened in public, he only coldly grunted.
With the arrangements in place, Li Mu leaped onto the high platform once again, took a deep breath, and took a step towards the cave.
Under the stone pillar, the crowd only saw smoke rising above them, surrounding the high platform, and they could no longer see him.
