Chapter 43, the end of the day
If you don't leave home, you don't know the world, you don't see the way of heaven, and a picture is so strange that it's really a wonder in the world. Those who don't know the 'Tao' and don't know the dangers, those who leave this picture are not right-hearted.
Tang Bai drew his long sword and slashed at the pattern on the wall, bursting out one after another sparks, and the sound of 'squeak, squeak, squeak' was piercing.
This wall was very hard, and under Tang Bai's sword, there was not even a single scratch, as if Tang Bai's power was completely absorbed by the patterns on the wall.
Yan Feifei couldn't hear this sound the most, and smashed it against the wall with a hammer.
The huge force impacted, the whole hall was shocked, and I don't know what kind of stone the walls are made of, such a huge force, except for some small cracks, it is not broken.
The patterns on the walls emit a faint glow, and they are actually repairing the cracks in the walls.
Yan Feifei was excited, without waiting for Tang Bai to speak, she opened her bow left and right, hammer after hammer, only to hear the sound of 'boom', the wall was like glass shattering, and the gravel was like an arrow, shooting indiscriminately through the air.
Tang Bai pulled Yan Feifei and was about to retreat, but he saw a fist-sized stone flying, anxious and fast.
He made the move of 'lying in the clouds and looking at the sky', leaning back, like a bridge, but just happened to see a huge stone falling from the top of the temple, smashing towards the two of them, if they were smashed, the two of them would be smashed into flesh.
Tang Bai used his hands and feet at the same time, flipped to the left, it was the body of the 'Inverted Seven Stars', his body was like an arrow, and when he couldn't make a move, he crashed into Yan Feifei, slamming her into the broken wall with a hammer, and then there was a loud 'boom', and the whole world fell silent.
Yan Feifei reacted, her face was terrifyingly pale.
Tang Bai stood up, his tense spirit relaxed slightly, only to find that a cold sweat broke out on his back.
He once heard Tang Ruting say: "The traces of the way of heaven must be protected by heaven, and if they are destroyed, there will be heavenly punishment." β
Weidao has traces of the Heavenly Dao carved on the pattern?
It's scary to think about!
No matter how the pattern defies the sky, it will disappear at this moment.
He calmed down and found that the place he was in was another boxy stone room.
The stone chamber is simple, with a stone table and a stone bench, and a stone bed, and a bronze mirror on the table, which is full of patina, and on its side is a box made of crystal, but it is covered with a thick layer of dust and becomes obscure.
The two of them carefully opened the box, there was no imaginary mechanism, the box put some gold hairpins and silver and other ornaments, and a well-preserved purse, with a white lotus flower embroidered with silver thread on it, and the word 'lotus' embroidered with gold thread below, thinking that this is the boudoir of a woman named 'lotus' in the name, but I don't know how many years no one has been here, and the ornaments and purses in this crystal box can still be preserved so well.
Tang Bai put away the ornaments in the box, picked up the purse again, and found that the material of the purse was actually made of heavenly silk, which shows that this woman called 'Lotus' has a very high status in the Tianji Sect.
He looked round about again, and saw a crack in the southwest, and with a strong push, he saw another stone chamber, in which there were many signs of fighting, and a blackened dry skeleton, lying in the east corner, and beside it, a fine dagger, a worn-out ancient book, and a half-open stone door.
The two walked over cautiously, only to see a dagger engraved on the ground: "Tianji Sect, rebelγγγγγγ The words have not been written, and I don't know what to say later.
Yan Feifei said, "This is the Heavenly Machine Sect. β
Tang Bai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you know the Heavenly Machine Sect?"
Yan Feifei nodded and said, "A miscellaneous record has recorded that more than two hundred years ago, the most powerful and mysterious sect on the rivers and lakes was the Tianji Sect, and no one knows where the Tianji Sect is located until now? After speaking, he remembered something again, and said, "I heard that the "Lotus Sutra" came from the Tianji Sect. β
When Tang Bai heard this, he was shocked, the "Lotus Sutra" was on him, only he understood how amazing this scripture was, as the rumors in the rivers and lakes said, this could really be an immortal scripture, what kind of sect is this "Heavenly Machine Sect"? He looked at the handwriting on the ground, sighed and said: "Birds burn fish rotten, the fortress is the easiest to attack from the inside, not to mention the establishment of the sect with heavenly machines, the heavens will send it." After speaking, he picked up the ancient books on the ground, only to find that most of the ancient books were missing, and there were only three or four pages of paper left, but the cover was still there, and the four ancient characters of "Heavenly Machine Sword Technique" were written on it.
It turned out to be a sword scripture.
Tang Bai loves swords, and swords are gentlemen in weapons, although he is not a gentleman, it does not affect his liking of swords.
On the first page of the book is written a verse, saying: "If you want to talk about the wonders of heaven, the avenue is indispensable, and you are only afraid of being confused, silent, and who is asked in your heart." "Then the last three pages each draw swordsmanship; one sword is called 'Tianji Xian', which depicts a Taoist man holding a sword to the ground; the second sword is called 'Tianji Change', which depicts the same Taoist person, looking at it with a flat sword, and the third sword is called 'Heavenly Machine'; the sword points to the sky, which seems to be higher than the sky.
The three swords are simple, simple like a child's play.
Tang Bai shook his head, this is also called swordsmanship? Just about to discard it, he found that the Taoist in the book seemed to have a change in holding the sword, and the tip of the sword seemed to have a circle, and there was a strange feeling of 'turning Taiji in the circle, Taiji giving birth to all things', he rubbed his eyes, and then looked at the writing, but it was the sword diagram of the first sword, the Taoist held the sword to the ground, and there was no change; what he saw just now was like an illusion. So I turned to the first page of the verse, and I couldn't understand it for a while.
Yan Feifei was impatient and walked out of the stone gate next to her alone, and not long after, her voice came from outside.
"Tang Bai, Tang Bai, come here. β
Tang Bai took a few pages of the Sword Sutra into his arms and walked out from the stone gate.
Outside the stone gate is a long tunnel with more dry bones and rusty arrowheads, which was once a secret passage.
Yan Feifei stood in the tunnel barefoot, and when she saw Tang Bai coming out, she turned around and walked out of the tunnel in three or two steps.
There were some gold leaf and silver ingots exposed in the tunnel, and Tang Bai picked them all up and packed them with the lotus embroidered with 'lotus'.
At the end of the tunnel, there is a stone wall, which is covered with green vegetation like a creeper, and the sky light is shining through the vegetation, and the wind blows in from outside.
The two men looked at each other and rushed out like arrows, digging through the cracks through the vegetation and seeing an empty valley.
There is a flat land in the valley, but half an acre, the green grass is young, it is in the prime of life; the flat land is in all directions, the forest is deep and dense trees, the bushes are mang, the original Yao grass and strange flowers, the late spring has arrived, there are a few left, and the flowers are not seen; it is a 'desolate grass and dense trees, red and purple fall and flourish, turn into mud and fragrance and eventually pass away, do not appear in summer and autumn and winter. β
Goodbye to the day, like a new life, looking back at the sun and moon in the cave, like a dream, like a strange journey.
Not far away there was a babbling stream that flowed out of the mountains and went eastward. A fat white rabbit came out of the bushes, and when he saw Tang Bai, he was stupidly stunned, and turned around and wanted to drill into the bushes. In the end, it was half a beat slower, Tang Bai used the long sword as an arrow, and nailed it to the ground with a sword. I went to the mountains to hunt some game, and the two of them had a full meal, and they only felt that life was happy, but that's it.
The two rested for a while, walked out of the valley, outside the valley, the branches and vines were like nets, thorns were everywhere, there was no mountain road, I thought that there were no people for many years, the original path was flooded by wild grass, and there was no trace of it.
Tang Bai went back to the tunnel, found a half-cut knife, polished it on the bluestone by the stream for a long time, and then tied the sword with mountain vines, hung it behind his back, and cut thorns along the stream to clear the road. Yan Feifei followed, she was barefoot, her feet were heavy, and she stepped on one footprint after another. She doesn't like this kind of unusual performance, she concentrates, carefully controls the strength of walking, and feels the weight of her feet with every step, and the journey is very slow.
It is difficult to walk, and it is even more difficult to open the way! Chopping all the way, at first it is not difficult, but the more time passes, the more difficult it becomes, as if there are thorns on all sides, and the clothes are torn apart by thorns, and the hands and feet are even more bloody. He calmed down, and integrated the martial arts he had learned into the chopping, so that the originally unfamiliar martial arts would become more flexible. This made him more aware of the meaning of the realm of craftsmen, that is, the skills are constantly integrated into life, one line at a time, every move, there is the shadow of skills everywhere; craftsmen are not only inherited, but also need to constantly discover their own shortcomings, continuous improvement, and continuous innovation on the basis of their predecessors.
When it was dark, Tang Bai looked for a mountain, looked in all directions, and only felt that the high mountains were like pillars, the sky was dangerous and difficult to walk, towering ancient trees, and the forest was as deep as the sea; The stream flows, and there is no end in sight. He frowned, guessing that the underground cave might pass through the bottom of the lake of Heifeng Mountain, and he didn't know how far away it was from Heifeng Mountain, if he deviated from the direction, he was afraid that he would go farther and farther away from the road back to Liancheng. If you change the place to open the road, the fierce birds and beasts in the forest are fine, but I am afraid that insects, snakes and ants will be difficult to prevent. Looking back, I found that there was a knife-like cliff not far away, not far from the creek, but it was also a place to stay.
At this time, Yan Feifei also came to help, Tang Bai said: "You woman, don't come to make trouble, if you are strained by thorns and leave scars, it will be difficult to find someone in the future." β
Yan Feifei said angrily: "Who is looking for someone." After saying that, she smashed a hammer at the small tree in front of her; her strength was great, how could this little tree withstand her hammer smashing, and it was broken off with a 'click', and fell on the thorn canopy on the side; I didn't want a small green snake on this tree, the size of a thumb, with a triangular head, hidden in the leaves, and couldn't distinguish it at all; at the moment when the tree fell, the little snake was frightened, and flew like an arrow at Yan Feifei's face.
Yan Feifei could react to this sudden change, and was about to scream, when she saw a flash of the knife, the little snake broke into two; she just breathed a sigh of relief, how could she think that the head of the snake that had just landed at her feet could still move, biting towards her toes.
