The cave below is similar in size to those stone chambers above, the difference is that the cave below has not been meticulously carved and built, but such an area has been excavated from the mountain, due north is a stone statue, there is an incense case under it, there are a lot of utensils placed on the incense case, the left side is the stone niche bookshelf, there are a large number of bamboo slips and stone slabs sealed on it, the living utensils such as tables and chairs are located in the right area, there seems to be a passage on the right side of the cave, because there is no going down to the cave, it is not sure whether the right side of the cave is a passage, or just slightly concave in the mountain。

The lotus stone group that the two said is located in the middle of the cave, in the south of the incense case, and the small mill that crushes the rice is somewhat similar, this thing is naturally not used to crush the rice, but a Dharma seat for people to sit on the plate, the Taoists believe that the jade has spirituality, daily use, but after Buddhism was introduced to the eastern soil, this kind of outer lotus petal decoration of the throne is rarely used by Taoist priests.

The lotus stone group, or it may be the jade group, the jade, the beauty of the stone, there is no clear difference between the two, the south wind is from a humble background, does not distinguish jade, only when it is a stone, there is obvious blood stains on a petal on the south side of the stone group.

The bloodstains were left by friction, and it was obvious that it was dry, and the reason why Yuan Anning was sure that it was fresh blood was not to look at its dryness and wetness, but to distinguish its color, the fresh bloodstains were red, and the old bloodstains were black.

Seeing the bloodstains, Nanfeng immediately thought of Gao Pingsheng, if there is really a passage on the right side of the cave, its direction should be the area leading to the collapse of the mountain, Gao Pingsheng may have taken another passage, but the two passages are likely to be connected.

However, after thinking about it, he immediately ruled out this possibility, he had found a rice bag on the way here, there were blood stains on the rice bag, the location of the rice bag was three or five miles away from the collapsed area, and only the self-explosion of the scattered power could explain the blood stains on the rice bag and its location.

Since it is not Gao Pingsheng, who is the one who left the bloodstains?

Doubtful, the south wind was careful and walked down.

As soon as he took a step, Yuan Anning reached out and grabbed him.

Nanfeng turned around, and Yuan Anning shook his head at him, signaling him not to move.

Nanfeng looked at Yuan Anning, looked down at the sleeve that was grabbed by Yuan Anning, and then raised his hand to break away from her and continue to descend.

Yuan Anning didn't know if he felt embarrassed Nanfeng, because he didn't look back, but he felt comfortable in his heart, and he flattened out.

There were sixty or seventy steps to descend the stairs, and when they found the bloodstains, the two of them walked to the center, and went down a dozen more steps, and the south wind stopped, and from here they could clearly see the details in the cave.

Due to the closure for many years, the ground was full of dust, and the purpose of his descent was to look for possible footprints, but to his surprise and confusion, there were indeed traces of friction on the ground, but not footprints, but some very strange traces, there were three traces, the middle was a curved and coherent indentation, and the marks on both sides were slightly scattered, like bird paw prints.

"What's left?" asked Yuan Anning in a low voice.

Nanfeng shook his head, no matter what traces were left, it was certain that this thing was not very large, there were two traces, one from right to left, and one from left to right, so it can be seen that the thing entered through the passage on the right, and after staying in the cave, it turned back.

"Could it be a lizard?" Yuan Anning guessed.

"It could also be a snake bug. Nanfeng said.

No matter what kind of anomaly it is, as long as it is not big, it is not to be feared, at least that's what the south wind thinks, and after a short stay, he steps again, walking downward.

After going down to the cave, the first thing he did was not to look for tortoise shells, but to look to the right, he guessed correctly, there was indeed a passage on the right side of the cave, the passage was the same height as a person, about five feet wide, and there was a heavy evil gold iron gate at the entrance of the passage, the iron gate had been seriously deformed, convex inward, there was a gap in the lower right corner, the gap was caused by the fall and squeeze of the rock, and he could see the corner of the rock opposite the iron gate, and the slight blood stains at the gap also verified his guess, the anomaly came to this cave from the opposite side of the passage.

Regardless of what left the bloodstains, it was certain that it was not large, and it was also injured, so it would not pose a threat to the two.

Confirming this, the south wind moved his gaze back and walked towards the stone statue on the north side.

"Which way is this immortal?" Yuan Anning stood in place and did not follow.

"Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun. Nanfeng said, as a person in the Daomen, he naturally recognized the Sanqing Patriarch Fa.

While speaking, Nanfeng walked to the incense table on the south side of the stone statue, and there were many utensils on the incense table in addition to the incense burner and candlestick.

The incense burner is in the center, the left side is a fluorene board, long ruler Xu, two inches wide, with a golden luster, do not ask whether it is made of gold, similar things he has seen in the stone room of Taiyin Mountain, this fluorene board is very similar to the one in Taiyin Mountain, it is also divided into two sides, there are cloud patterns on the back, the front of the six-character Dingwen, the front four do not recognize, the last two are also real people.

On the left side of the fluorene plate is a rectangular gold plate, the upper part of the gold plate is carved and cast a dragon head, the lower part is the inscription area, there are more than 100 small characters, this kind of vessel-shaped thing is mostly seen in the royal reward, usually records the reason for the reward.

Previously, he had been to other places where Taoists lived in seclusion, and there was also found a fluorene plate there, but this gold plate was the first time he had seen it, so it can be seen that the Taoist who lived here back then should be the leader of the nine people, so he was able to keep this thing, this thing has to be taken away, and after going out, he will slowly study it, and once he learns Dingwen, he can know what happened back then.

On the right side of the incense burner are two boxes, one large and one small, the small one is a wooden box, square in shape, less than a foot high and wide. The larger one is a copper box, which is larger than the wooden box, and it is also square.

How long the wood can be preserved is not unrelated to the environment, but the main thing depends on what kind of wood, although this wooden box lasted for thousands of years but is still well preserved, wipe off the dust on it, you can see the Taiji pattern on the lid, the Taiji pattern on the lid is not a mechanism, but a decoration made of white jade and black jade inlay, which seems to be unpretentious but is actually luxurious and hidden.

Carefully remove the lid of the box, the things in the wooden box are revealed, the first thing to see is the bundle of bamboo slips, after untying it found that there are a lot of tripod texts written on the bamboo board, he knows the tripod text is afraid that there are not even ten, naturally I can't understand it, so I put down the bamboo slips to see the things inside.

Yuan Anning was curious, "What's inside?"

Nanfeng turned around when he heard the sound, only to see Yuan Anning still standing in the distance, "Why are you so far away?"

"I'm a little tired. Yuan Anning took a step back and sat down on the bottom of the stairs.

Seeing her like this, Nanfeng understood that Yuan Anning always stood in place to avoid suspicion, and he didn't mean to touch anything in the cave.

"Come and see. The south wind waved to Yuan Anning.

Yuan Anning shook his head and didn't go over.

Seeing that she didn't come, Nanfeng reached out and picked up the wooden box.

When picking up the wooden box, I vaguely heard a slight clicking sound from the copper box on the right, and if I listened carefully, it was gone.

After waiting for a moment and seeing no movement, Nanfeng came back with the wooden box, sat on the steps and took the things in the wooden box out one by one, "This guy may have been a carpenter before he cultivated......
