Chapter 743: Shifting Mirror Heaven
The young man was rather verbose, but Yu Yao, Xiao Ying, and Lin Fengcao did not interrupt, and they all wrote down the name of Muwugang.
"When we went to the village, the people in the village were very welcoming, but not many people knew Mandarin, and most of them spoke in strange dialects. But there are also people who can speak Mandarin, and this village and that mountain have the same name. ”
The three of them thought to themselves, this was like a minority village.
"We bought some cheese in the village, and we bought some interesting little copper ornaments, and when we were leaving, an old woman took out this jade seal. She said she dug up wild vegetables by the river. My favorite thing about Chinese antiques is seals, and the jade quality is also good, so I bought it. The boy stopped at this point.
"Did this old lady tell you that she had dug up anything other than the seal?" asked Yu Yao.
The young man thought for a moment, "According to what she said, there is nothing else, just a seal." ”
After separating from the backpack couple, the three of them did not continue to visit and returned to the B&B hostel in Tajiang Town.
After dinner, the three of them got together again.
"I have already sent this seal to the masters of the Daomen to see if I can identify it. Xiao Ying said, "Taoism in the Ming Dynasty was mainly Quanzhen and Zhengyi factions, but even Zhengyi Sect had many factions and branches. ”
Lin Fengcao interface, "The Ming Dynasty was an important period for the spread of Taoism in Yunnan Province, in addition to the Han people, many ethnic minorities were also affected, such as the Naxi Mushi Tusi also believed in Taoism. ”
Yu Yao thought for a while, "This Taoist priest, if he has a law seal, then he has a conferral of urns, and the place where he often stays should not be a cave mansion, but a Taoist temple." ”
Xiao Ying nodded, "Well, this clue is for backup." We'll wait until we've checked the Crescent River Beach. ”
The next day, the three of them did not go out to wander again, but explored Xianding Mountain again.
"Now, the crescent river beach is located in the southeast of Xianding Mountain, from the perspective of innate gossip, Qiannan Kunbei, one day and one place, and the southeast is the exchange position, which is exchanged for a yin line on the top and two yang lines on the lower ······." Xiao Ying groaned repeatedly after probing.
What he said, Yu Yao and Lin Fengcao seemed to understand whether they understood or not, but they couldn't interrupt it, for fear of disturbing his train of thought.
Fortunately, Xiao Ying finally explained, "If this Xianding Mountain is really the place where the female disciples of the Interception Sect practiced during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, then this crescent river beach is indeed very likely to be the gateway to the cave!"
Lin Fengcao nodded, "In this way, when we get to this place tomorrow, you two stay, and I will let Liu Dali sail farther away, and call me when I am done." ”
That night, Liu Dali called as promised, saying that the people from the 8665 Research Institute had left at noon and had not even eaten, and that he had also made arrangements for going out of the ship, and that he would meet at the small side gate of the Jinjiang National Geopark at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Everything went smoothly from meeting to getting on the boat, but this morning, there was fog on the river, and Liu Dali said that he didn't dare to go to the center of the river, so he could only walk close to the river.
"Yes!" Yu Yao said in his heart, fogging was not a bad thing for them, the visibility was low, and if they were a little farther away, they couldn't see what they were doing on the river beach. As for the boat that can only stick to the riverside, after arriving at the place, Lin Fengcao asked Liu Dali to sail away.
So, at the place of the crescent river beach, the three of them had a "dispute", Yu Yao and Xiao Ying wanted to come down to "play", but Lin Fengcao "suddenly" felt bored and wanted to walk under Xianding Mountain.
In the end, Liu vigorously played a round game, saying that as long as the boat could be collected before eight o'clock, the river under Xianding Mountain was not far away, so it was better to play separately. He is seeking money, so naturally he doesn't want the three of them to quarrel.
This "proposal" was unanimously agreed upon by all three.
After Liu Dali drove Lin Fengcao away, Xiao Ying and Yu Yao began to explore the Crescent River Beach.
The two corners of this "crescent" are actually the mountain wall, and the "crescent" can be formed because the mountain wall here is concave and forms an arc similar to a small semicircle.
The beach is full of sand and gravel, and the further you go, the higher the terrain is, nothing special.
On the mountain wall, there are scattered weeds, and there are a few wild trees in the high places, which seem to be irregularity at first glance, but Xiao Ying still found clues after careful inspection.
In the middle of the mountain wall, an area about one meter wide and one and a half meters high on the left and right sides of the mountain wall seems to be a little strange with clumps of wild grasses.
Comparing the surrounding area, Xiao Ying immediately understood that the "weeds" in this area were "reversed" by the weeds in the upper, left, and right directions around it! In other words, this area, like a mirror, formed the illusion of weeds. When you touch it with your hands, you can feel the weeds, but wherever you touch it, the real weeds reflected in the "mirror" move at the same time!
Not only clear, but also exciting!
"This is the formation created by the ancestors!
"So, this place may be a formation outside the secret vault?!" Yu Yao listened, and was a little at a loss for a while!
"Break the formation first!" Xiao Ying took a deep breath, took out the compass, and compared it first.
Yu Yao didn't dare to come out, so he suppressed his heartbeat and watched.
Although he couldn't understand how Xiao Ying operated, but in the end, Xiao Ying took a mouthful of river water and spurted it into the middle area of the mountain wall, and the mountain wall and wild grass were gone!
A semi-circular hole appeared!
The entrance to the cave is not high, only one and a half meters, but it is diagonally downward, and the first step is half a meter deep, which is more than enough for a person.
Yu Yao rubbed his hands, looked at Xiao Ying, and was about to ask a question, but suddenly found that there was blood flowing from the corner of Xiao Ying's mouth!
"Are you alright?!"
"It's okay, it's just a little bit of blood on the tip of the tongue!" Xiao Ying waved his hand, "ventilate first." ”
Yu Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and said instead, "This must be the cave mansion of the master of the sect, Xiao Gong closed it with a formation, and used a certain place in the cave mansion as a secret place, it is indeed very ingenious!"
Xiao Ying frowned, "However, what I predicted before was an ordinary Five Elements Formation, not this unique Formation Illusion Mirror Heaven. ”
Yu Yao had been in excitement, and Xiao Ying's words were like a cool breeze, which made him sober up a little, "This ······ Many of our previous inferences were based on reality. ”
After a pause, "For example, we speculated that the formation set up by Xiao Gong was a large area outside the secret vault!, but with the increase and deepening of the clues, we have a new understanding, and it should be a relatively adjacent 'array within a formation' ······."
Xiao Ying thought about it, but didn't agree or object, "Let's go and see it first!"
After feeling that the breath in the cave was normal, Xiao Ying and Yu Yao went down to the cave one after the other. Less than two meters into the cave, Xiao Ying found symmetrically carved symbols filled with cinnabar on the left and right sides of the cave wall, and he took out two black discs, and he didn't know whether they were paper or cloth, and pasted them separately.
"In this way, you can't see the outside and you can't enter the hole. ”
The passage in this cave has been diagonally downward, but after going to the end, a circular arch appears, and through the arch, the eyes suddenly open up!
