Chapter 044: A Way Out
"Then how do I get out?" asked Zhang Jiabao.
"There is a rock crevice near the original place, which leads to Longxin Lake. But there are a lot of murderous things in the lake, and you don't know how to be watery. So we asked for directions with the money. Li Bangcang said.
"Divination, the heart to reach the state of sincerity and interest, is the most spiritual. Generally, you have to bathe and change clothes and burn incense first, but you are in a hurry to do it, and you can't take care of it so much. Li Bangcang said, "Now you sit quietly, throw away all distractions, and concentrate on thinking of a way out." ”
Zhang Jiabao sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate.
After a while, Li Bangcang asked, "Have you calmed down?"
"Hmm. "Zhang Jiabao can perform magic through meditation and communication elements, and naturally master the knack of adjusting his mood.
"Okay, now hold the two coins in your hand, meditate on where the road is three times, and then throw them out. After landing, there is a literal upward for yang, and a non-literal upward for yin, two coins into a line, and what the yang refers to is where the road is. ”
Zhang Jiabao clasped his hands together, grabbed the treasure money and threw it up, and when he landed, he saw that it was all literally facing up.
"Where does this mean the road?"
This means that you have failed, and it may be that you still have distracting thoughts in your heart, and you are not pious and respectful enough. Li Bangcang said.
"Oh, then come on, brother. Zhang Jiabao picked up the two treasure coins and handed them to Li Bangcang. Li Bangcang threw it, and both of them were literally up.
"What's that?"
Li Wancang scratched his head, "Master said, don't occupy anything, don't take possession if you don't move, and don't ask repeatedly for the same thing." Try another way. In fact, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, he only learned Yi Shu from his master six years ago. I can't help but slander the master a little, because the master swears that this ancient treasure money is very effective, and no matter what method is used, the result can be asked.
Li Bangcang asked Zhang Jiabao to take out the third treasure coin, concentrate again, and throw it up together. Three coins fell, forming a triangle on the ground. He then drew a direction on the ground with a tooth stick pointing to the midline of a triangle with an acute angle.
"The road is going this way. ”
"Is it really accurate?" Zhang Jiabao muttered in his heart, but he didn't say it.
Li Bangcang re-tied the three treasure coins around Zhang Jiabao's neck, "Deal with our food first, so as not to be taken away by wild beasts." You give me a hand. The two of them worked for a long time, peeling off the skin of the lizard's corpse whole, disemboweling it, cutting off the internal organs, and removing the bones and flesh.
"Let's go. Li Bangcang used the lizard's skin as a blanket, dragged the untied pieces of meat and two thousand teeth, and the two of them walked along the marks on the ground.
"Prepare some stones to make a mark, and put a piece on the ground when you walk for a while, and look back to see if there is any crookedness. Li Bangcang instructed Zhang Jiabao. Not to mention, this lizard is heavy enough, even if you lose bones and internal organs, it will cost five or six hundred pounds.
The closer you go, the closer you get to the cliff on the other side of the abyss. After walking about seven or eight miles, the two hit the wall. As soon as the torch shines, the huge rocks in front of you are stacked.
"Could it be that the master has gone to Yingzhou?" Li Bangcang thought secretly. This cliff is on the Yingzhou side, and if Bao Qian asks for the right way, the master is likely to be in Yingzhou.
However, this is also reasonable, white people have bullied the imperial court for many years, no matter which state of the empire has intelligence, as long as they want it, they can get it from the government. Only Yingzhou was surrounded by the abyss of indignation, and because of the earthquake that year, a great plague broke out, and became an outcast of the empire. Master is safe there. Of course, the environment over there is also dangerous.
It's just that the way in front of you is a thick rock, and there are no holes or rocks. I searched left and right, but I didn't find it.
"Could it be up there?" Zhang Jiabao asked. Li Bangcang used light skills to climb the rock wall to search, and after a while, he saw him come down, shaking his head with a black face.
"Are you sure you're going in a straight line?"
"Hmm. Zhang Jiabao nodded, playing with the three treasure coins around his neck, "Is it difficult to climb up?"
"What do you say? When I first rescued you, the nine-character mantra was added, and it was dozens of feet long. But he didn't dare to climb the cliff in vain, because the upper part was too vertical, and once he fell and couldn't step on the point of gravity, he would be doomed. Moreover, this side is steeper than the other, and the arc in the sky is not above you, but near that side. ”
After looking for it again, but still couldn't find the way, Li Bangcang was a little shaken, the master wouldn't have fooled him with the tattered antiques he picked up casually for more than ten years, right? In a fit of anger, he grabbed a tooth stick and poked it against the rock wall, but it was a splash of rubble, and the tip of the stick sank into the stone.
"That's right! The road may be inside!" Li Bangcang held his tooth stick back, puffed up the true yuan, and knocked on the stone wall, the sound of "dong dong bang" continued to sound, but the stone wall did not react, but his own hand was a little numb, it seems that the stone here is very hard.
"That's not going to work. Li Bangcang changed his method, inserted a tooth stick into a corner of the rock wall, and used another stick as a hammer to knock it in five or six inches. Pull it out again, and make another hole in the side as you would. After opening several holes, a stick went down and shattered a corner of the rock wall.
"If the road is hidden deeply, it will take some days to ......do it," Li Wancang wiped his sweat, "Master, the things you give your old man must be treasures." ”
......
The two of them set up camp here, using a thousand teeth as hammers to dig mountains and open roads. In order to make it easier to swing the toothstick, the hole should be opened wider. Zhang Jiabao started and kept moving the gravel out. Fortunately, it should be early spring outside, and the rain is gradually increasing, otherwise it is also a trouble to find a water source.
This chisel is two months, and the lizard meat is almost finished. At the beginning, Zhang Jiabao's hands were often injured and bleeding, but later he practiced with rough skin and thick flesh, and he would not be able to. The two in the middle wanted to stop many times, doubting the reliability of Bao Qian asking for directions, whether it was too stupid to do this. However, giving up at this time is to ruin all the previous achievements, just believe in the guidance of treasure money, and move forward with your head down.
The two of them were numb and dry day after day, like coolies on the mine who didn't know when they would get out. Finally, after chiseling for nearly a hundred meters, with the ease of smashing the hammer, Li Bangcang knew that the tooth stick had penetrated the stone wall. I pulled out my toothstick and put my fist inside, feeling empty inside. Li Bangcang continued to dig calmly, and the high-intensity labor of more than two months also exercised his heart.
Breaking through the stone wall and entering, it was also dark and silent. Zhang Jiabao shouted, and heard a faint echo, and the space here seemed to be very large. The two lit torches and measured on foot. This cave is a hundred zhang in circumference, and dozens of zhang high, but there is no trace of any creature. On the other side of the cave, there is a natural passage that is more than a foot wide and high, and obliquely upward.
Li Bangcang accompanied Zhang Jiabao to walk in the passage, and there was nothing abnormal.
"Senior brother, if you follow this passage, you will definitely reach the ground. Senior brother is no longer with you, can you do it yourself?" Li Wancang hurriedly went back to guard the huge cave, and it has been more than two months since he came out, and he doesn't know if anything has happened.
Zhang Jiabao looked at the darkness ahead, and although he was scared, he still replied: "Yes!"
"Good. Senior brother will first make a divination for you. Li Bangcang took off Zhang Jiabao's three treasure coins, grabbed them with both hands and threw them six times, looked at the front and back of the treasure money, and recited the words in his mouth: "The first line, less yin, the second line, less yang...... The fifth, Lao Yin, the sixth, Lao Yin. ”
After thinking about it carefully in his mind, he said: "The upper shock and the lower hurdle, the thunder water solves the hexagram, and the hexagram is...... Li Southwest, nowhere to go, its back and forth, auspicious. There is a future, a dream. ”
"What do you mean?" Zhang Jiabao was confused.
Li Bangcang said solemnly: "It is auspicious to go to the southwest, remember, if there is a fork in the road, take the southwest direction, it will definitely be fine." ”
"Oh, remember. Zhang Jiabao felt that the senior brother seemed to be very powerful.
"Well, the treasure money will be returned to you. Do you remember the spell you used to escape?"
Zhang Jiabao read it again.
"That's right. Be sure to remember that you must not lose your money. Li Wancang said, untying the gourd on his waist, "This is also for you, Master's ghost collection weapon may be able to be used." He immediately told Zhang Jiabao the usage and mantra.
"Thank you, Senior Brother, I will definitely find Master. Zhang Jiabao hung treasure money around his neck, tied a gourd around his waist, held a torch in his hand, carried a bundle of firewood on his back, and carried a ten-pound piece of lizard meat on his shoulder.
"Be sure to stay safe and don't eat indiscriminately. Li Bangcang shouted from behind.
Completely unable to see the figure of his junior brother, Li Bangcang began to walk back. Go out and pile the excavated stones back into the passage, in case a fierce beast tracks down Zhang Jiabao according to the popularity.
After finishing everything, Li Bangcang wrapped the only remaining bit of meat in lizard skin and walked back, pondering what the master taught while walking, and suddenly remembered that the old yin and the old yang moved each other, and the change of the thunder water hexagram is the Tianshui litigation hexagram, but the litigation hexagram belongs to the fierce hexagram.
"Forget it, the junior brother and noble man have his own nature. Li Bangcang thought to himself, he didn't even touch the level of divination, so he couldn't do it accurately, just asking for peace of mind.
