Shen Duo met a pharmacist surnamed Chen in the Dafang Mountains, the pharmacist Chen was very talkative, and soon chatted with him that there was a Ming Dynasty immortal city nearby, and legend has it that there was a Ming Dynasty immortal named Wuling King, who once left treasures in the mountains.

When it came to the Wuling King, Shen Duo was very interested in this topic, and Pharmacist Chen said to him: "There is a wild staghorn vine in the mountain ahead, and its branches are so thick and large, it is a rare high-grade medicinal material. Unfortunately, I am naturally afraid of heights and dare not climb down the cliff, so if you do me a favor, I will tell you the secret of the legendary Witch Spirit King's treasure. ”

Shen Duo felt that Medicine Master Chen was a bit interesting, and used the legend of the Witch Spirit King to exchange the antler vine with him, but regardless of whether the news was true or not, it didn't matter if he went to the mountains to take a look.

So the two took the climbing equipment, folding shovels, short-handled hoes, nylon ropes, miner's lamps and other things with a basket. The staghorn vine grows on the steep cliff, and it is indeed not easy for ordinary people to dig it out, but for Shen Duo, a master in the late stage of the Yellow Order, it is not difficult to climb the cliff to collect medicine.

Seeing that he was willing to help, Pharmacist Chen was so happy that he danced with joy and gave him two swarthy pills as a token of gratitude, called "Chen's Powerful Pill", which was said to be the ancestral secret recipe of the Chen family, which had miraculous effects on various incurable diseases.

Shen Duo didn't care, he took the pill, and the two set off with their equipment to dig for the antler vine.

Dafang Mountains is located in the southwest, lying horizontally in the east and west, called "Sifang Mountain" in ancient times, the legend is the fairy mansion of the fourth daughter of the Queen Mother of the West, Mrs. Antarctica, thousands of miles on all sides, thousands of feet high, there is sweet spring water in the mountain, can refine the elixir of immortality.

The two walked for more than ten miles, along the way Chen Yaoshi talked about the important dojos, Taoist temples, temples and palaces of Dafang Mountains, and said that people in the world only know that Shu Mountain is a Taoist holy land, but they don't know that Dafang Mountains have been immortal mountains for cultivation and ascension since ancient times, and many immortals in ancient times were ascended from here.

Shen Duo didn't think so, the aura of heaven and earth was lacking, how could it be so easy to cultivate immortals and ascend, although there were people who succeeded in ascending to immortals in ancient times, there were very few.

The northern foot of the Dafang Mountains is deep and precipitous, sparsely populated, and on the way, I met several groups of medicine pickers on the way back, and they were curious about carrying bamboo baskets into the mountains. Some people persuaded them that after the sun sets, the deep cliffs rise in mist on all sides, and it is said that there is an evil yin qi in the mountain, which specializes in captivating people's souls after dusk, and once they are charmed, there is no possibility of survival.

But the two of them had already entered the mountain, so they couldn't retreat at this time, so they had to continue to move forward.

At dusk, Shen Duo climbed a steep cliff and saw more than a dozen crooked trees, a deep stream chasm in front of him, and the mountains in the distance were even steeper and craggy, and a white mist was faintly floating up from under the deep stream.

Pharmacist Chen pointed to the cliff, and down from the edge of the hard rock, he could find a wild staghorn vine.

Shen Duo tried to probe to the edge of the cliff, but the cold wind blew up from the deep stream, and couldn't help but make people shiver. The cliff is bottomless, gray and foggy, and a stone is thrown down casually, and the echo cannot be heard for a long time, and it is not at all dozens of meters deep as Chen Yaoshi said.

If you accidentally fall down, you won't even be able to find the bones. Shen Duo couldn't help but question Pharmacist Chen, he understated that he tied a rope around his waist and climbed down the cliff to collect medicine, as if it was easy, but the actual situation was that floating in mid-air to collect medicine was completely a madman's method of practicing courage and playing with his life to find death.

Pharmacist Chen was a little embarrassed, and said apologetically: "No one expected the fog, so it's better for you to go down to explore the road first, find the exact location to make a mark, and wait for tonight, and then go to collect medicine early tomorrow morning." ”

He put all the equipment out and told Shen Duo not to worry, the folding shovel is the kind used by the German military, the shovel head is sharp and strong, the quality of the mining lamp is good, and it will not affect the use if it falls from a height of tens of meters, and the nylon rope has a length of more than 200 meters, which is enough to break a few back and forth.

Shen Duo knew that he couldn't dodge, so he had to bite the bullet.

He held a brand-new shiny short-handled hoe, tied to a big horn behind his back, one end of the horn was connected to a rubber tube, Pharmacist Chen said that the surrounding environment was closed, and the mobile phone had no signal, so he could only use the most primitive method to keep in touch, and use the loudspeaker to send news if something happened.

Shen Duo twisted the rope into four strands, tied it tightly to the trunk of a large tree on the edge of the cliff, and the other end hung down to the bottom of the cliff. Just in case, he tied auxiliary ropes around his waist and back, tried the tightness, and then cautiously walked to the cliff.

Before he could go down, a piercing scream rose from the bottom of the cliff, the sound was not like a human voice or an animal, there was an indescribable horror.

Pharmacist Chen also heard the scream, and glanced at Shen Duo, not knowing what was going on. Shen Duo took a closer look at the surroundings and found that the two huge mountain rocks were a little weird.

At this time, the dim remnant sun grew a circle of hazy black hair, and the two peaks of the valley, one on the left and the other on the right, both bent downward in an unnatural arc, as if looking down at the valley, feeling that they were about to close at any time.

Pharmacist Chen couldn't wait and persuaded him to act quickly, the fog in the valley was getting heavier and heavier, and he couldn't delay any longer.

Shen Duo took a deep breath of cold air, gritted his teeth and slipped down the rope. The cliff face was steep and smooth, and the wind around it was so noisy that the rope swayed. He tried several times, but he couldn't find a place to kick his feet, so he could only wrap his legs around the rope and fall from the swaying rope little by little.

Pharmacist Chen hung a bamboo basket with a rope and shouted loudly, if you find the antler vine, dig it out directly, it is easy to go down, don't waste two times.

Shen Duo secretly scolded the old boy for being cunning, and said that he would let him explore the way first, and then start digging medicine tomorrow. I shouldn't have believed this just now, but now he was hanging in the air, and if he couldn't find the antler vine, the old boy might let him hang on the rope forever to blow the wind.

He climbed down more than 20 meters, and there was a gray mist under his feet, which was very uncomfortable, and he couldn't see anything under the cliff at all, obviously far from the bottom of the valley.

After resting for a few seconds, Shen Duo stepped on a protruding rock wall, grabbed the crooked neck branch stretched out from the rock, and shook his body vigorously, and the whole person stepped on the trembling trunk with a rope.

This is an old tree that is about to die, exposed to the wind and sun all year round, and is blocked by the cliff wall and cannot be drenched in rain, and the yellow old bark has cracked, barely able to withstand the weight of Shen.

Steadying on the trunk of the tree, Shen Duo lit a prepared torch and used the firelight to shine into the mist under the cliff, and there was a blurred black shadow in the haze, and he couldn't tell what it was.

That black shadow may be a staghorn vine, Shen Duo has no experience in collecting medicine on the cliff, his feet are hanging in the air and there is nowhere to land, he will definitely not be able to step on the antler vine, and he will stop eating after digging.

At this time, the big horn behind him suddenly sounded, Shen Duo shook a spirit, and there was a chaotic sound in the horn, mixed with the sound of wind and air currents blowing in the valley, and the whining and chirping looked a little strange.

Shen Duo shouted "Old Chen" a few times into the loudspeaker, but heard the sound of ping-pong fighting, and then heard a howl from Pharmacist Chen: "Brother Shen, someone in uniform has gone down, hurry up and run......"

Shen Duo was extremely depressed in his heart, and Pharmacist Chen asked him to run quickly, where could he run in such a place. Are the uniformed police, how did they come here, is it illegal to dig up antlers?

He turned his head to look around, there was no way to climb up, and he couldn't survive if he jumped, at this time the last ray of light disappeared from the sky, and the heavy fog covered the cliff, and in the gloomy fog, even the face could not be seen clearly, and it was very dangerous to hang in mid-air all the time.

Just as he was thinking about what to do, the rope suddenly shook, and someone pulled the rope and climbed down. Shen Duo felt inappropriate, the four strands of nylon rope could support a person's weight, if it was more than a hundred catties, the situation would not be optimistic. He stood on the branch for too long and began to stagger, and then a man came down, either the trunk of the tree or the rope was broken.

He hurriedly raised the torch and shone it downward, and the dense fog seemed to have a devouring power, and the light emitted by the flames was cast into the fog, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The rope shook violently, sliding down two vague figures, pulling the nylon rope tightly, making a creaking and screeching sound, which could break at any time.

Shen Duo acted immediately, he didn't want to hang on the rope and die with two fools. He extinguished his torch, hooked a sturdy branch with his feet, and hung upside down to reach out to the dark shadow below.

Hanging the golden hook upside down is not difficult for the warrior, even if he really fights, with his skills, he will not lose to two policemen.

Shen Duo stretched out his arm and touched a handful of sticky things, I don't know if it was a staghorn vine. He didn't have time to ponder it, so he clung to one of the edges of the thing, let go of his legs, slid off the main rope, and then fell onto a pile of sticky objects.

When I got on my stomach, I felt that there was a soft body underneath me, as if there was still heat, unlike plants such as staghorn vines. Shen Duo stood up and stepped on his feet hard, nothing unusual, as solid as flat ground.

At the foot of the foot was a protruding clay platform, a raised vein growing mucus-secreting moss, and a scarlet clay platform extending from the cliff face, convex in the air. Shen Duo touched it, and it felt sticky and slippery.

The cliff face on the side of the mud platform reveals a dark hole, and large vines and plants spread out from the hole, covering the cliff face with rocks.

It was getting dark quickly, and nothing could be seen in the thick fog, so Shen Duo untied the rope and felt a cool air swishing in his back. He used his hoe to pluck through the vines and burrow into the dark and gloomy hole, and a sickening, wet stench came over his face.

Not long after, two men in black uniforms, one tall and one short, landed on the clay platform.

Speaking of this, Shen Duo stopped, glanced at Yunkang with his eyes, and said, "Do you know who that tall man is?"

Yun Kang didn't expect him to suddenly change the subject, shook his head and said, "How do I know who he is?

Shen Duo's expression was indifferent, and he said: "The tall one is Ge Fengdu, the deputy leader of the task force, and the other short one is called Cui Diao, who is also a special deputy captain. ”

Yun Kang was very surprised, why did the task force suddenly go to the cliff, he felt even more curious, and hurriedly asked Shen Duo to hurry up.

Shen Duo finished smoking a cigarette of herbs and continued to talk about the rest of the matter.

The two vice-captains saw a black hole in the cliff wall and discussed that it might be an abandoned Taoist cave. This Dafang Mountains is known as the holy land of Xianshan, with many cliffs and extremely steep mountains. The ancients cultivated immortals and alchemized pills in the deep forest valley, so the ruins of immortal caves can be seen everywhere.

They took pictures to take notes, and then used the walkie-talkie to contact the team members above, so that they were ready to enter the cave in batches.

Shen Duo heard their conversation in the cave, only to know that it was someone from the task force, and immediately felt very troublesome, Wumen is one of the martial arts sects, and there is a record in the task force, if the task force finds out that he is a martial artist, he will definitely have to interrogate endlessly.

For now, I can only climb into the cave and find a hiding place to hide first.

But the cave was damp and dark, cramped and oppressive, the air was muddy, and the stone walls were covered with lush vines, dripping with mucus that made him uncomfortable.

Afraid of revealing his position, he did not dare to light the torch, and crawled forward on his prostrates, his knees barely bent and moving, unable to turn around.

The two members of the task force also climbed into the cave, and the dense vines made a rustling sound behind them.

Shen Duo heard the soft sound of pulling the bolt of the gun open, and hurriedly hid in the dark, held his breath, and raised the folding shovel.

It was not wise to use a shovel against a pistol, but now he had the upper hand, and whoever dared to get his head in, he would fold the shovel and chop it down.

A dull bell suddenly sounded in the cave, Shen Duo calmed down, felt something in the darkness, and suddenly his brain twitched, and he swung his folding shovel and slashed into the air.

A fishy cool air swept past the bridge of his nose, and the shovel slashed at a slippery living creature like a catfish.

The cave was as dark as ink, and Shen Duo heard Cui Diao's screams behind him, as if he was entangled in a writhing thing, and it became tighter and tighter.

At this time, Ge Fengdu turned on the strong flashlight and illuminated the entire cave, Shen Duo couldn't help but look back and found a huge scarlet thing on Cui Diao's waist.

He had the feeling that it wasn't a catfish, but a long tongue!

But I didn't see what it was, and there was a violent shaking under my body, and the passage of the cave suddenly folded, and the stone walls on the front and back sides squeezed into the middle.

The passage suddenly narrowed a lot, and Shen Duo was the first to think that he would be sandwiched into a meatloaf by the stone wall, so he didn't even care about being stunned, and quickly waved his shovel and slashed at the stone wall that was squeezing towards him, and at the same time quickly drilled into the depths of the cave.

Ge Fengdu, who was behind him, took a rope and put it on Cui Diao's body and pulled him hard. Cui Diao rolled his eyes when he was strangled by the rope, stuck in the middle of the passage in a dilemma, pulled out a military three-edged bayonet with his backhand, and stabbed it fiercely on the scarlet tongue.

A stream of fishy pus and blood spurted out, splashing Shen Duo all over his body from a few meters away, drowning Cui Diao and Ge Fengdu in an instant. The three of them didn't care about nausea and nausea, and seeing that there was no way out, they all crawled forward with their hands and feet.

They crawled fast, and then a fishy smell rolled up behind them, chasing after the three of them, and in the blink of an eye, they wrapped one of Cui Diao's feet.

The stone walls on the left and right sides rumbled and swayed, closing more and more towards the middle, Shen Duo was anxious, and the stone walls quickly clamped his shoulders, and the next moment he could crush his skull. In a panic, he raised his shovel and slashed at the stone wall, which shook a few times, as if he was afraid of the shovel.

Shen Duo's scalp was numb at that time, and he intuitively felt that this was not a stone, but a living thing!

As long as it is a living creature, it is easy to do, because living creatures are afraid of pain, so he picked up the shovel and opened the bow left and right, and slashed on the stone wall with a shovel, forcing the stone walls on both sides to retreat a few inches, and he was so tired that he almost lost his strength.

Remembering that the task force had guns on them, then don't waste them, Shen Duo shouted loudly: "Shoot at both sides, hurry up!" Ge Fengdu pulled out his gun and aimed, a series of gunshots rang out, and the bullets shot into the stone wall, and then he grabbed Cui Diao, and the two of them desperately climbed into the hole.

Shen Duo took out the spare nylon rope and tied it with the hoe, turned his head to look back, a huge scarlet strip rolled in, and a fishy smell filled the entire cave. Cui Diao's mouth whined and roared, and the muzzle of Ge Fengdu's gun emitted green smoke.

Shen Duo threw the short hoe over and asked them to tighten the rope, Ge Fengdu reacted quickly, pulled the rope and pulled it hard, Cui Diao grabbed the hoe tightly and held it in his arms.

Shen Duo wrapped the rope around his waist and climbed forward with all his strength. The nylon rope crumbles to its straightest point, making a buzzing trill, which can break at any moment. Ge Fengdu made a buffer in the middle, grabbed the rope and dragged Cui Diao hard.

The fishy stench swirled forward quickly, and the scarlet strips fluttered through the cave passages, and the slime shook the faces of the three men.

Shen Duo was so tired that he gasped, and his waist was about to be broken by the rope. He picked up the short hoe casually, slashed a few times on the stone wall, and cut a thick piece of skin, and the slimy blood flowed down from the stone wall, like turning on a faucet, and the three of them were soaked in blood in an instant.

The three of them crawled forward in a panic, the huge hole was close at hand, and the blood and water were gushing over, making a rattling sound at the mouth of the cave.

Ge Feng and Cui Diao easily broke free, crawled out of the passage, Shen Duo suddenly loosened his strength, rolled backwards and fell out of the hole, and then pulled the rope outward, and the two of them pulled out of the soil like a bunch of turnips, and the bones rolled down a few times.

Ge Fengdu hit his head on Shen Duo's stomach, almost throwing him up, but he didn't slow down for a long time. The hoe in Cui Diao's hand flew out, and "dangchang" landed on the side of Shen Duo's head, and he was only two inches away from splitting his head into a flower.

The three of them fell miserably, and the height of the hole fell more than five meters, and their bones almost fell apart.

After a violent jolt, the narrow hole they had just climbed out closed in, leaving only an inconspicuous gap.

Shen Duo struggled, he fell down and landed on his back first, and the miner's lamp behind him almost didn't knock him out and vomit blood. The miner's lamp cracked a hole and shook it twice, and the strong light suddenly lit up, illuminating the surroundings.

The three of them were in a rocky cave, the outline of which was illuminated by the miner's lamp, and the roof of the cave was so dark that it was impossible to see how high it was. In the middle of the cave grew a large straight tree, the thick body of which was hugged by four people, and there was a bunch of branches at the top of the end of the tree, which spread out in all directions.

The three of them were so surprised that they couldn't keep their mouths shut, and none of them knew what this place was, they were trapped in a closed rock cave and might never get out.

Except for the cave that closed just now, there was not even a single gap in the rock walls on all sides, and it seemed to be a secret place isolated from the world. The rock walls were a pale grayish-white color, and the scarlet traces of blood flowing through them were shocking.

The three of them were panting, their faces were ugly, and their clothes were stained with a mixture of slime and mud and vine leaves, and they were very embarrassed. In order to save the light source, Shen Duo turned off the miner's lamp and replaced the lighting with a fire stick, and only three small black shadows were reflected on the empty gray ground.

Cui Diao lowered his head and wiped the gun, loading bullets one by one. Ge Fengdu tried to contact the task force using the walkie-talkie, and soon someone came to rescue them, so getting out should not be a problem.

After Cui Diao finished loading the bullets, he suddenly raised his pistol, aimed at Shen Duo's head, put his fingers on the trigger, and ordered him to tie his hands down.

Shen Duo secretly scolded the task force for revenge, but this was not the time to reason, he found that the light in the cave was very empty, and the only place he could hide was the big tree in the middle. So he glanced at the top of the tree and deliberately exclaimed, "There's something up there!"

Ge Feng and Cui Diao were startled at the same time, turned their heads to look up, Shen Duo extinguished the fire stick, the cave suddenly became pitch black, and his body rushed towards the tree.

Cui Diao pounced into the air, Shen Duo's figure had disappeared like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, he climbed to the top of the tree, threw down the dried corpse of a wild lynx, and then hit a huge bronze bell.

Cui Diao under the tree scolded loudly, and heard the sound of a "buzzing" bell from the top of the tree.

Shen Duo climbed on the top of the big tree, stepping on the intersection of the branches under his feet, and dimly saw eight branches of the same length extending outward in a ray shape, like an umbrella bone supporting it, and a huge black hollow bronze bell was hung on the top of each branch with an iron chain.

Shen Duo's vision was blurred, and he could only see an outline, the bronze bell was full of hollow patterns, the shape was very similar to Danding and the ancient incense burner, and the sound of a buzzing sound was made when struck. At this time, he looked up and saw three large forks above the top of the tree, densely stabbed with countless corpses.

Dozens of dried corpses, both animals and people, surrounded by ghosts, as soon as the sound of the bronze bell rang, the dried corpses shook and trembled, and fell down from the branches.

The corpse fell under the tree, and Ge Fenghe and Cui Diao shot upwards with a "bang, bang, bang". The bullet hit the top of the cave, and a few clusters of sparks flashed with a crisp "ping pong" sound, and then bounced out and shot against Shen Duo's scalp.

At this time, all three of them found that the top of the cave was metal, not rock.

One of the bullets went into the bell, and a burst of fire burst into flames, illuminating the entire cave. Shen Duo was very close to the bronze bell, almost burned by the sparks that splashed, and the thick black smoke drifted out of the bronze bell, making him cry.

The fire rushed to the top of the cave, and all three of them looked up, only to see that the trunk of the big tree was straight and hard, and the eight branches extended in eight directions, and the distance between the branches was completely equal. From Shen Duo's point of view, it looks like a lotus seat with eight petals spread out.

Eight large bronze bells hung from the top of the branches in thick black chains, and bullets entered through the openwork pattern, igniting gunpowder and splashing the flames with a snort.

The scorching air swirled up and down, and the branches crackled and cracked. The flames were burning at least a few hundred degrees, and there were no vents in the caves, so when the fire ran out of oxygen, they had to suffocate to death.

Shen Duo was on the top of the tree, and his situation was even more dangerous, if he didn't leave quickly, he would be roasted into a roast pig in a few minutes.

The roof of the cave is a semi-circular arc-shaped arch with a matte black glow reflected by the firelight, and the surface is engraved with diamond-shaped patterns, suspended by two large rings.

The whole bell was enveloped in fire, and the flames were restless, and soon burned into dark red coals, and the buzzing sound inside shook and swayed, struggling to break through.

Shen Duo was so frightened that his hair stood on end, feeling that this thing would explode, he hurriedly hugged the trunk of the tree and slid down, the dried corpse on the top of the tree crackled, emitting an unpleasant scorching smell in the fire, and the burning fur fell down.

Ge Fengdu and Cui Diao also reacted, the explosion is not easy to deal with, once the cave collapses, if you are not killed on the spot, you will have to be buried alive. The two of them didn't care about Shen Duo, and quickly ran in the opposite direction, and just ran a few dozen meters, a deafening explosion sounded.

"Boom!"

A dazzling flash of bright light flashed, the flames splashed in all directions, and the heat wave rose up, and a large hole burst into the roof of the cave, and powerful air currents were sucked in from the outside, and the earth, gravel, and trees fell into the cave with a clatter.

At the moment of the explosion, Shen Duo had already slipped to the bottom of the tree, and was swept away by the heat wave airflow, and the seven orifices were bleeding all over his body.

Soon another wave of heat swept over him and threw him into the air, and the cool breeze convected through the hole in the cave ceiling, and the debris and hail fell on his head like a hail of rubble, and he fell face down to the ground with Venus shining in front of his eyes.

Shen Duo's nostrils were bleeding nonstop, and he vomited two mouthfuls of black blood in a row, he covered his head with both hands, and the mess on the top of the cave was all smashed on his back, but fortunately, the miner's lamp behind him blocked it, and his spine was finally not broken.

After the rumbling explosion, the cave was in disarray, and there were burning flames everywhere. Shen Duo's ears hurt like pins and needles, his eyes were covered with a layer of black ash, the blood clots in his throat were mixed with dust, he coughed violently a few times, and his mouth spewed out scorching fireworks, and he couldn't speak at all.

After the explosion, the tree was intact, but an iron chain broke in two, and the bronze bell was swept away by the air waves, falling from the top of the tree, smashing through the ground and falling into the mezzanine below the cave.

The bronze bell like a black bucket was buried in the rubble, and Shen Duo touched it with his hand, almost jumping up hot. He looked closely at the black metal bronze bell, and the top cover of the hollow pattern had blown away, leaving an empty container, which was covered with a layer of black ash that had been burned at high temperatures.

The shape of this bronze bell resembles a wine jar, and the upper and lower ends are shrunk inward, carved with complex dragon-shaped thunder patterns.

Shen Duo had a sense of familiarity with the dragon-shaped thunder pattern, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. At that time, he had a mobile phone with him, so he took pictures of every line and kept it carefully.

"Wait a minute. When Yun Kang heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt him and asked, "What did the dragon-shaped thunder pattern you said look like, and did you bring the photo?"

He knew that Shen Duo had the habit of taking pictures at any time, just like the last time he was in the Xianweng Cave, as long as he encountered some ancient patterns, Shen Duo would take pictures of them all.

Shen Duo took out his mobile phone, opened a photo, handed it to Yun Kang, and said, "This is the big bronze bell with a dragon-shaped thunder pattern on it." ”

Yun Kang took it and looked at it, and suddenly his heart beat wildly, and he exclaimed: "This is not a bronze bell, it is a magnetic iron bell!"
