Fifty miles away from the western suburbs of Luoyang of the Thousand Buddha Grottoes, the scenery here is magnificent, there are mountains and rivers, on the mountains and cliffs, there are thousands of Buddha caves of large and small, there are tens of thousands of stone statues and pagodas in it, the momentum is magnificent, giving people countless reverie. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Mei Tingxue and Yan Shuangmeng couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration when they saw the grand scene in front of them.
Only Gu Chen took out a pen and paper on the side, as if he was recording something.
"What are you writing about?" Yan Shuangmeng asked.
Gu Chen said: "Oh, I'm painting this strange scene. ”
Yan Shuangmeng walked over to take a look, and he really drew a rough picture of the Thousand Buddha Grottoes on paper, which looked like wood and good painting.
"Why draw it?"
Gu Chen looked at Yan Shuangmeng, and a glimmer of light flashed in his deep eyes: "When I traveled around the world before, I liked to record the poems, strange people, and scenery I heard, and the girl I loved liked to read these pamphlets I compiled the most, although she is no longer there, but I will still record the beautiful scenery and beautiful poems I encountered along the way, and when we meet again one day, I can show her again." ”
"The girl you love?" Mei Tingxue smiled, "Isn't it the Yan Xiaoqiao you often talk about." ”
Yan Shuangmeng's eyes widened, when did Senior Sister Mei know, should this scholar tell Yan Xiaoqiao that she looks exactly the same as her.
Fortunately, Mei Tingxue said: "That girl is so happy, all men in the world are lucky, and it is not in vain that you have a deep affection for her." ”
It turned out that Mei Tingxue thought that Yan Xiaoqiao was dead, Yan Shuangmeng breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this scholar still didn't talk nonsense.
Gu Chen smiled: "Senior Sister Mei misunderstood, Xiao Qiao is not dead, but we are separated, I believe I will be able to find her one day." ”
Mei Tingxue said: "You have this concern, or it is not suitable for our Yuhua faction, the admonition of the Yuhua faction is that disciples need to abandon the red dust in the past, a pure heart, Xiuxian asked." If you just want to learn spells, it is better to go to the Cangyun Sect to find Senior Brother Xuanxin. ”
Gu Chen said: "This is a solution, thank you Miss Mei for reminding me." ”
Without further ado, the three of them immediately went up the mountain to find the Nine Dragons Halberd.
However, there are thousands of large and small stone caves here, and the stone statues are even more innumerable, and really finding the Nine Dragons Halberd is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Yan Shuangmeng said: "It is rumored that the Nine Dragons Halberd is a weapon of the Heavenly Realm God of War clan, and somehow it fell into the Thousand Buddha Grottoes in the mortal world. We don't know if we can follow this clue to find it. ”
Mei Tingxue nodded and said: "Yes, it is rumored that four hundred years ago, the Nine Dragons Halberd fell from the sky and turned into a stubborn stone in this Thousand Buddha Cave, and it is not easy to find it." ”
Yan Shuangmeng looked up at the surrounding mountains: "I checked before I came, although there are thousands of stone caves in the Thousand Buddha Grottoes, the most famous are the four large stone cave groups, namely the Yin and Yang Cave, the Medicine Master Cave, the Stone Lotus Cave, and the Guanjing Cave, and there are two places on the left and right mountains. Senior sister, why don't we check separately and notify each other if there is news. ”
"Good. Mei Tingxue took out two fireworks and handed one to Yan Shuangmeng, "The Medicine Master Cave and the Guanjing Cave are on the left, I'll check them out." You go to the Yinyang Cave and the Shilian Cave on the right, and you will find a connection with the fireworks signal. ”
"Okay, senior sister. "Yan Shuang's dream turned out to be a fireworks.
As soon as the two of them turned around and saw Gu Chen, Mei heard Xue just about to speak, Gu Chen said: "The two fairy girls don't care about me, it's important to be busy with business, I'll take a look around, and I will immediately meet you as soon as there is any movement." ”
Mei Tingxue took out another fireworks and handed it to him: "Give one to you too, in case you find out, you can notify us." ”
"Okay. Gu Chen took the fireworks into his sleeve.
Mei Tingxue and Yan Shuangmeng scattered left and right and flew out towards their respective mountains. Before Yan Shuangmeng left, she glanced at Gu Chen and whispered, "Be careful." ”
Her simple whisper made Gu Chen's heart bloom, and he couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth.
After waiting for Mei Tingxue and Yan Shuangmeng's figures to disappear, Gu Chen walked into a nearest cave, tapped his fingers on the ground, and said two sentences in his mouth.
After a while, the white smoke flashed, and the mountain god here came out of the ground, and when he saw Gu Chen, he immediately knelt down and said: "Your Highness is coming, Xiaoxian has missed the distance, please forgive your Highness." ”
"Alright, don't be polite, I have something important to ask you. Gu Chen said.
"Your Highness, excuse me. ”
"Where is the Nine Dragons Halberd hidden?"
"This ......" the mountain god's forehead began to sweat, "Your Highness, isn't that your weapon, where is Xiaoxian lucky enough to know where His Highness's divine weapon is......"
Gu Chen narrowed his eyes: "Bold, who gave you the guts to lie in front of me." ”
The Nine Dragons Halberd had been sealed by the gods as a murder weapon to murder the Heavenly Emperor at that time, and it should have been hidden in the depths of the Heavenly Realm, how could it have fallen into the mortal world? Who threw it down? Gu Chen frowned.
"Do you think that I don't dare to do anything to you now if I am not the prince of the Nine Heavens Purple Circle Palace, or do you want to turn back into an ordinary stone and be crushed under the Thousand Buddha Grottoes forever?"
The tenderness of the humble gentleman dissipated from Gu Chen's face, replaced by a quiet and cold look, and the heart of the mountain god fell into the ice cave with a thud, and he involuntarily knelt down and said: "Your Highness spares your life, Xiaoxian really doesn't dare to say it." ”
"Whoever commanded you should give it its name." Do you think that in the entire Heavenly Realm, there are still people I will scruple about?" Gu Chen's voice was no longer like a spring breeze, and the cold calm made the mountain god's teeth involuntarily begin to tremble.
"Yes, yes...... The Celestial Maiden of Yaozhu Palace...... Let me hide the Nine Dragons Halberd......"
"Yaozhu Palace?!The Queen of Heaven!" Gu Chen's eyes flashed with black flames.
The mountain god kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Your Highness is clear, Xiaoxian doesn't dare to lie." ”
Those who have the ability to obtain the Nine Dragons Halberd and hide it are indeed only the Queen of Heaven who can do it! Gu Chen's heart suddenly burned like a flame.
Seeing that his face was ugly, the mountain god was afraid that he would get angry and destroy the Thousand Buddha Grottoes, and then the mountain god would not even have a place to stay.
The mountain god hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Xiaoxian knows that the Nine Dragons Halberd is a weapon that His Highness once used, so he keeps it well and doesn't dare to damage it, except for me, no one knows where it is." ”
Gu Chenfu narrowed his eyes again: "Where are you hiding?"
"It's in the Stone Lotus Cave. ”
At the same time, Yan Shuangmeng rushed to the Yinyang Cave.
This hole is not artificially carved, but naturally weathered, half yin and half yang, the magic is amazing. There are incense candles and ingots at the entrance of the cave, and it seems that people often come here to burn incense and make wishes.
Yan Shuangmeng looked left and right in the cave and couldn't see anything special, and was about to leave, when two aunts happened to come outside the cave, carrying incense and candles, and were preparing to worship.
"Two sisters, there are no statues of gods and Buddhas in this cave, what are you worshipping?" Yan Shuangmeng asked curiously.
The two aunts looked her up and down and said, "Girl, you don't look like you're married yet, and there are some things that are not good to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?" Yan Shuangmeng was stunned.
An aunt covered her mouth and smiled: "This cave is a natural and earthly Yin and Yang harmony fairy land, of course, what comes here to pray is Yin and Yang to reconcile the love of husband and wife, by the way, there are many children and grandchildren, understand?"
Another aunt also said: "Yes, this place is very effective, and the nearby villagers know it." ”
"Okay, okay, let's hurry up and burn incense. As they spoke, they took out the incense candles from their baskets.
Yan Shuangmeng's face was slightly red, as long as he turned his head and left, it was better not to disturb others. She took three steps and made two walks, heading towards the Stone Lotus Cave.
The top of the stone lotus cave is carved with a huge relief stone lotus, which is artificially carved, the shape is beautiful, I don't know which dynasty the craftsman carefully carved.
Yan Shuangmeng raised her head and stared at the huge stone lotus, amazed by her magical workmanship. At the beginning, it was probably not easy for craftsmen to carve such a large stone lotus.
She looked up for a while, and suddenly remembered that she had come to find the Nine Dragons Halberd, and carefully checked in the cave, but there was only an ordinary Buddha statue in the cave, except for the stone lotus flower on the top of her head.
"Miss Yan, you are also here. Gu Chen appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Yan Shuangmeng turned her head and looked: "You're here too?"
Gu Chen smiled slightly and walked to her side, "I met a local old man at the foot of the mountain just now, and he specially came to see this stone lotus flower under his guidance." Although the Thousand Buddha Cave is famous for its many Buddha statues, the most powerful is this stone lotus. ”
He raised his head and stared at the stone lotus flower like Yan Shuangmeng had just done.
Yan Shuangmeng also raised his head and looked at the stone lotus again: "Beauty is beauty, but I didn't find any clues to the Nine Dragons Halberd after watching it for a long time just now." ”
Gu Chen said: "Miss Yan, have you counted how many petals this lotus flower has?"
Yan Shuangmeng was startled, turned her head to look at him, and really counted the petals of the lotus flower. The craftsman was ingenious, layer upon layer, and Yan Shuangmeng actually counted seven hundred and forty-nine petals. ”
Gu Chen suddenly sighed: "Such a ingenious workmanship, it is really unbearable to destroy. ”
Yan Shuangmeng frowned and said, "You mean that the Nine Dragons Halberd is hidden in this stone lotus?"
Gu Chen said: "What I mean below is that this stone lotus cave looks like it has been around for many years, but this stone lotus is so well preserved, it should be that people who watch her can't bear to destroy it......"
Yan Shuangmeng sighed, it turned out to be the sigh of a literati scholar. She said angrily: "You quickly take out your paper and pen and draw them, maybe you won't be able to see them later." ”
Gu Chen pretended to be surprised and said, "Miss Yan really wants to destroy the roof of the cave?"
