The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 980: The Way to Escape Trouble

Ling Long nodded slightly: "Indeed, I have heard some things!"

But then she changed the subject and continued to ask: "However, what I want to know is about your childhood, like what the environment in your home was like back then, and what did your parents do?"

Ling Feng was stunned for a moment: "Shiyun and Jiaolan know all about this, haven’t you asked them?"

Ling Long’s eyes flickered: "How could I casually ask such things?"

"Oh, that’s true!"

Ling Feng nodded: "If you’d asked them, they would certainly think you like me!"

"..."

Faced with the direct probe, Ling Long shook her head: "It’s not that I like you. I am just purely curious about your family background; maybe it would clue me to why you could become the successor of Shennong."

"Uh..."

Ling Feng smiled wryly and then said: "Then you are mistaken. The family environment in which I grew up was actually very ordinary...."

In the time that followed, he told Ling Long about his childhood and how he unintentionally obtained the inheritance.

After hearing this, Ling Long felt puzzled and thoughtfully said: "This is indeed strange; you just obtained the inheritance so easily?"

"Yes, it’s quite puzzling to me too. And somehow, without noticing, I’ve made it to this point today!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.

"Do you think this was just a coincidence?" Ling Long asked him, looking into his eyes.

Ling Feng shrugged: "At first, I thought it was a coincidence, but thinking about it afterward, I felt that things might not be so simple!"

"Definitely not that simple!"

Ling Long nodded her head and then said: "How about this, when we go back, I will visit your home to take a look?"

"Oh? What do you want to see?" asked Ling Feng.

"If it’s not due to your parents or ancestors, then it might have something to do with the environment you live in!" Ling Long stated.

"Right! Shiliu Village is indeed a bit special. Since I obtained the inheritance, there have been quite a few incidents around, all happening within a range of ten miles or so!" said Ling Feng, nodding.

"So to unravel the mystery, we’ll need to take a look on-site!" Ling Long declared.

At this point, both became silent.

Ling Feng originally wanted to ask about her matters, but considering how Ling Long always seemed resistant, he thought better of it and gave up.

After a moment of silence, Ling Long stood up: "Sitting here is too boring; I’ll go take a look inside!"

Saying this, she was about to walk inside the cave, and Ling Feng called from behind: "I’ve already checked; there’s nothing in there."

"I’ll take another look, just consider it a walk!"

Ling Long said, already turning the corner.

Ling Feng sighed helplessly, thinking that if she wanted to go, let her be, as staying put was boring anyway.

The outside of the cave was entirely dark, with occasional gusts of wind blowing past, bringing waves of coldness.

Ling Feng felt a bit irritated, thinking that he and Ling Long might be trapped here for five or six days, making his mood ever more dismal.

By the time they returned, Zhou Yi and the others would probably have already come back, and they would surely complain about his lengthy delay.

After a while, footsteps sounded, and Ling Long hurried back: "Didn’t you go to the end of the cave?"

"No, I sent out my Divine Sense and found it to be a dead end as it was empty, so I didn’t walk any further. What’s up?" asked Ling Feng.

"There’s something at the end of the cave, come with me!"

Ling Long said and turned to leave.

Ling Feng was startled and immediately followed.

As they made their way to the end of the cave, he asked in confusion: "What’s there, what did you find?"

"It’s a Formation; you’ll see when you get there!" Ling Long said without looking back.

Ling Feng was baffled, quickly catching up, thinking how that could be possible.

But at this moment, she wouldn’t fabricate a lie to deceive him; she wasn’t that kind of person, and she wasn’t in the mood for it now.

The narrow cave was very winding. As they went further inside, the temperature of the air rose, and they could feel a damp breath approaching.

Having walked in the dark for quite some time, they finally reached the end of the cave, where Ling Long stopped: "Take a look."

Ling Feng muttered an acknowledgment and took out a high-beam flashlight.

The light illuminated the bottom of the cave, and complex patterns appeared on the stone wall in front of them.

"Oh my gosh!"

Seeing the entire stone wall covered with various patterns, Ling Feng’s eyes widened in shock: "It really is a Formation!"

Having learned the Compendium of Array Formations, he was now very familiar with such things.

Moreover, the Formation before him was a variant of the one he had set up previously in Shiliu Village, also meant to summon the wind and rain!

The only difference was that this Formation had no energy supply, the place where the energy source should be placed was empty!

Staring dumbfounded for a moment, Ling Feng turned his head to look at Ling Long: "Who would set up such a Formation in a place like this?"

"I’m not sure, but didn’t it give you any hint?" asked Ling Long.

"You mean..."

A flash of inspiration struck Ling Feng’s mind, and he instantly thought of something!

Then he slapped his thigh: "This is indeed a good method; we can give it a try!"

"If it works, we can start moving after daybreak!" Ling Long nodded in agreement.

Ling Feng smiled: "I think I understand, the person who set up the Formation here did so because they didn’t have a suitable energy source, so they placed it in the cave, drawing the faint Spiritual Energy from underground to operate the Formation!"

"Exactly, but you’re different; you have plenty of Spirit Stones!" said Ling Long.

"Right, so we can just set up the Formation at the entrance of the cave, whether it’s effective or not will be obvious!"

Ling Feng nodded his head and took her hand: "Let’s go, let’s hurry back and try it out!"

"Okay!"

Both of them quickly returned, and upon reaching the entrance of the cave, Ling Feng immediately started to set up the Formation, while bitterly laughing: "I really am stupid, not having thought of this method, if it weren’t for your discovery, we would have been trapped here for much longer!"

"I didn’t think of it either, both of our brains have rusted, it seems!" Ling Long said with a bitter smile.

The method they spoke of was actually very simple. Seeing the Formation, Ling Feng understood.

With the snow being so thick, making passage difficult, waiting for it to naturally compact under the effect of gravity to bear a person’s weight would take at least several days.

But by summoning rainwater through the Formation, the accumulated snow could be melted!

Even if the temperature is extremely low and the rain turns to ice mid-air, it didn’t matter; it would still help compact the snow.

Considering the potentially large area required, Ling Feng deliberately set up a large Formation, and then took out the largest Spirit Stone from his bracelet.

With the energy source in place, all that was left was to wait for the Formation to take effect.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, despite the piercing cold wind, Ling Feng did not retreat back inside but looked anxiously at the starlight in the sky, eagerly waiting.

Minutes later, a mist started to form in the skies, which gradually thickened.
