This section of the mountain wall, Du Fei had observed it more than once in the past two days while trapped in Xiao Liang Mountain, aside from his first visit.
The pattern on this mountain wall that looked somewhat like an eye did indeed emit a warm current into his body when he first touched it with his hand.
But that was all there was to it. No matter how long he touched it afterwards, there were no other changes.
However, this time, in order to appease the giant, Du Fei had spent extra effort, meticulously examining it from top to bottom, from left to right.
But in the end, Du Fei found nothing.
"See, you've seen it too. I really searched every inch this time, but there's nothing on this mountain wall."
Du Fei, feeling he had spent enough time and should be able to fulfill his duty, turned around and shrugged helplessly at the giant.
"Wuwuwu."
The giant began to mumble again, and this time, he acted directly.
He used his palm, as large as a palm leaf fan, to feel around Du Fei's body, as if searching for something.
"Stop, stop, stop."
To prevent his thin arms and legs from being accidentally broken by the giant, Du Fei quickly stopped the other from continuing to grope him.
"What are you looking for on me? Tell me, and I'll look myself."
After being stopped by Du Fei, the giant began to gesture with his hands.
They went back and forth, guessing each other's intentions.
After a full half hour of gestures, Du Fei took out the milky white small sword from his body.
"Are you looking for this thing?"
Seeing Du Fei take out the milky white small sword, the giant became as happy as a child, dancing with joy.
Du Fei was both surprised and unsurprised that the giant was looking for the milky white small sword.
What was surprising was what the giant intended to do with the milky white small sword now.
It wasn't surprising because, in his previous interactions with the giant, he had felt a sense of familiarity with the milky white small sword.
The last time he was tricked into Xiao Liang Mountain by Master Fei, if it weren't for this milky white small sword, Du Fei would have likely met his end.
Taking out the milky white small sword, Du Fei was about to hand it to the giant, but the latter retreated repeatedly, waving his hands incessantly.
Du Fei found the giant's strange behavior very difficult to comprehend.
If the giant didn't want it, why was he looking for it?
Could it be?
A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Du Fei.
At the same time, the giant pointed to the milky white small sword in Du Fei's hand, and then pointed to the mountain wall in front of them.
Just as he had guessed.
The milky white small sword was to be used on this mountain wall.
However, Du Fei now had a new question: the mountain wall was very smooth, with no place to insert the milky white small sword.
When he looked at the giant, the latter pointed to the eye in the pattern on the mountain wall.
What was special about this eye?
But since the giant said so, there must be a reason, because in Du Fei's opinion, he would never lie to him.
Du Fei placed one hand on the eye in the pattern on the mountain wall, while holding the milky white small sword in the other hand and slowly bringing it closer.
At this moment, the giant stood beside Du Fei, holding his breath, as if afraid that his breathing would be too loud and disturb Du Fei's actions.
The milky white small sword approached the mountain wall bit by bit, and finally, the sword tip touched the mountain wall.
Originally, according to Du Fei's expectation, with the milky white small sword being so sharp, the mountain wall in front of him would surely be cut open like tofu.
However, what happened next was something Du Fei found incredibly magical.
As the milky white small sword touched the eye-like pattern on the mountain wall, a dazzling beam of light shot out from the wall.
Du Fei instinctively closed his eyes.
But the beam of light was fleeting and disappeared quickly.
Then, when Du Fei opened his eyes, he was astonished to find that the milky white small sword had been completely inserted into the mountain wall, leaving only the hilt outside.
This is possible?
Du Fei was so surprised that his jaw dropped at this sight.
Seeing that Du Fei didn't move for a long time, the giant beside him quickly nudged him with his hand.
Du Fei came to his senses, then reached out and grasped the hilt of the milky white small sword.
With barely any effort, Du Fei twisted his hand, and the mountain wall in front of him slowly parted from the center to both sides.
After opening, a secret chamber the size of a few square meters was revealed.
Upon seeing the secret chamber, the giant beside Du Fei immediately knelt down and bowed his head with great reverence.
Inside the secret chamber, there was a prayer mat, and on it sat a cross-legged 'person.'
Actually, it wasn't accurate to say it was a person, because the person meditating had died an unknown number of years ago, and only a skeleton remained.
Beside him were placed a small Buddha statue and a white porcelain bottle.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
Du Fei glanced at the giant beside him. Seeing that the giant's head was buried in the ground and he was not moving, Du Fei instinctively dug a hole and buried the person sitting cross-legged on the prayer mat, who was now just a skeleton.
"Please forgive me, I don't know who you are, but I imagine you have a close relationship with the giant. This is all I can do."
After burying the skeleton, Du Fei bowed towards the mound.
Then, after a while, Du Fei decided to pick up the remaining two items to examine them.
Boom.
However, the moment Du Fei's hand touched the Buddha statue in the secret chamber, his head went blank with a 'boom.'
Du Fei entered another dimension, and then a person wearing a kasaya with white hair and beard appeared before him.
Because he was completely enveloped in a milky white light, Du Fei could not see his face at all.
"Fated one, I am..."
Before Du Fei could react further, the person wrapped in milky white light began to speak.
It turned out that the person before Du Fei was named Monk Pujji, a Buddhist cultivator whose cultivation was earth-shattering. He had once been only one step away from achieving Buddhahood.
However, in the end, he could not withstand the ninety-nine eighty-one heavenly tribulations, and Monk Pujji failed to withstand them. Knowing that he would not live much longer, he chose to come to Xiao Liang Mountain to pass away.
Before his passing, Monk Pujji sealed a portion of his immortal arts and his lifelong learning within this Buddha statue, leaving it for the fated one.
As for the origin of the giant, Monk Pujji also briefly explained. It turned out that the giant was a savage who grew up in the mountains since childhood.
When Monk Pujji arrived here, seeing his pitiable state, he took pity on him and used his immortal arts to enlighten him, and also taught him some cultivation techniques.
After fully listening to Monk Pujji's explanation, Du Fei finally understood that the milky white small sword in his hand was one of his swords from when he walked the world, which was why it could open this secret chamber and why the giant treated him so specially.
