Chapter 0025: A Hole in a Cave
Practice against the rising sun, absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and the moon. This is Xiao Qiong's most ideal state of life. If it weren't for something in his heart, he really wanted to stay in Sanqing Palace for a while longer.
"Brother Xiao Qiong, where are we going now?"
Dai Xiaoxiao's eyes seemed to have a layer of fog. It can be seen that this girl is homesick. After agreeing with Zhang Ye to go back in three or five days, Xiao Qiong would not be able to stay in Sanqing Palace for many years. "The ideals are very rich, and the reality is very backbone." Xiao Qiong thought of a ridiculous word, and just wanted to tell Dai Xiaoxiao that she was ready to go down the mountain and return to Daijiaping now. didn't think that Xiao Hei seemed to have the function of "his heart", and before Xiao Qiong's words came out, Xiao Hei bit Xiao Qiong's trouser leg and dragged him towards the back mountain!
Since Xiao Qiong unexpectedly harvested the Shenpan and "Zhengyi Jing", she no longer regards Xiao Hei as an ordinary dog. Xiao Hei must know more secrets of the Sanqing Palace. Thinking of this, Xiao Qiong decided to give up the idea of going down the mountain. What is the secret behind the Sanqing Palace that I see so far, which has fallen to such an extent? Blackie may be the only living spiritual animal?
Xiao Hei led the way in front, and Xiao Qiong and Dai Xiaoxiao followed behind. Xiao Hei seemed to be very satisfied with their understanding, and sprinkled joy all the way, walking and stopping, shaking his head and tail. They walked through two rows of houses with a door at the back. This door is hidden, the door frame has rotted, Xiao Qiong pushed it casually, and the entire door frame fell apart. It turned out that out of this gate, there was a forest path that led to the depths of the dense forest.
After climbing more than 100 meters to a height, there was a boulder in front of him, the size of three football fields. Blackie stopped under the boulder and barked at a puff of wild artemisia. Wang, Wang, Wang, Wang, Wang! That look seemed to be in a hurry. Xiao Qiong came to the wild artemisia with understanding, opened the wild artemisia and looked inside, it turned out that there was a hole hidden here. Xiao Qiong poked her head into the black hole, it was so black that she couldn't see anything. He picked up a stone, threw it in, and put his ear to the ground, but he didn't hear the sound of the stone falling.
Xiao Qiong touched Xiao Hei's head, and Xiao Hei let out a mournful sound. There must be something strange in the cave! They searched for it, but they saw nothing. Now it's Xiao Qiong's turn to be anxious, and she must find a way to enter the cave before she can figure out the secrets inside.
"Xiaoxiao, you and Xiao Hei will wait here, and I'll come when I go."
Xiao Qiong had an idea, and quickly ran back to the "Sanqing Palace" to find ropes, firewood knives, sticks and hemp rods. Lighters are readily available. With these things, it will be much easier to enter the cave.
"Xiao Hei, I've wronged you, you go first."
Xiao Qiong tied the rope to Xiao Hei's stomach, tied a slipknot, and told Xiao Hei that when he got inside, he used his mouth to pull open the slipknot. Xiao Hei muttered a few times obediently, indicating that he understood. Then, Xiao Qiong moved the rope inch by inch, and after a few minutes, she felt that Xiao Hei had landed. Xiao Qiong shook the rope a few times, pulled the other end of the rope up, judging by the length of the rope into the hole, the depth of the hole was only twenty or thirty meters. Blackie's barking in the cave was faintly heard, and it was heard vividly.
"Brother Xiao Qiong, can we not go in."
At this moment, Dai Xiaoxiao was really scared. Xiao Qiong's divine plate and "Zhengyi Jing" are of little significance to Dai Xiaoxiao, and of course he can't understand Xiao Qiong's mood at the moment.
Xiao Qiong said: "I think so, you stay outside the cave, if Xiao Hei and I go in and don't come out for a long time, you call the police." Ask for help outside the mountain. All right? ”
"Do you have to go in? What does this have to do with you looking for dragons and caves for my family? ”
Dai Xiaoxiao almost cried.
"Xiaoxiao, I can't say it for a while. By feeling, we have inadvertently touched upon the truth of a great conspiracy. So, I wanted to try my best to uncover the secret. ”
"Is it that scary?"
Xiao Qiong nodded firmly. The look in his eyes was resolute. To be honest, he didn't feel at ease when a girl like Dai Xiaoxiao was put outside. But it's safer outside the cave than inside. Inside the cave is a completely unknowable world.
"I'll go with you."
Just as Xiao Qiong drilled into the hole, Dai Xiaoxiao changed her mind. Her pitiful appearance is a little touching. Barren mountains and mountains, it's really not good for such a girl to be protected without people. Xiao Qiong checked the rope tied to the tree pole again, and made sure that it was all right, before starting to climb. Xiao Hei called out in the hole, screaming vigorously.
A few minutes later, Xiao Qiong and Dai Xiaoxiao came to the cave and found that the cave was actually very narrow, except for a few bats flying around, which made some horrors from time to time, there was really nothing worth exploring. Xiao Qiong held a torch and searched the cave wall non-stop. Eventually, he found traces of man-made on the walls of a cave. Someone has pasted the location of a door with cement, which is similar in color to rock, and it is too old to tell if you don't look closely.
Is there a hole in this? Fortunately, with a firewood knife, Xiao Qiong asked Dai Xiaoxiao to hold a torch, and then hit the wall with the back of the firewood knife, and there was an echo of "dong dong", proving that it was empty. Xiao Qiong excitedly brandished the firewood knife and desperately knocked on the cement surface, sparks splashed everywhere, and the cement fell off piece by piece, and there were neatly stacked bricks inside. Xiao Qiong pried open one of the bricks, and the rest of the bricks were like tearing down the fence, and they could be pulled open by hand.
A larger cave appeared in front of Xiao Qiong.
There are many stalactites in it, and the shapes are varied. There are also many practice diagrams carved on the stone wall. Bodhidharma I Ching tendons, marrow washing sutra, thunder heart palm and so on. The practitioners of different forms come to life. The ground was still dry, with a few piles of embers from charcoal fires, indicating that there were once people living here.
Xiao Hei led the way in front, Xiao Qiong held Dai Xiaoxiao in one hand and a torch in the other, and walked up the steps. After about fifty meters, a larger platform appeared. Looking from afar, I saw a tall Taoist priest meditating and practicing. When I got closer, I saw that it was the statue of Zhang Tianshi again! The base of the statue is about two meters high, and nine yin-yang fish made of granite are placed on the flat ground. These yin and yang fish are arranged in an orderly manner, forming a nine-palace diagram.
"Wear nine shoes one, two or four for the shoulder, three on the left and seven on the right, and six or eight for the foot." Of course, Xiao Qiong understands the hidden mystery in the Nine Palaces Diagram, this acquired Bagua Diagram, regardless of the horizontal number, vertical number, oblique number, and the line segment formed by three points, the number of the three hexagrams is equal to fifteen. This means that no matter where the enemy attacks from, as long as he hides in the Nine Palaces Diagram, he will be attacked by the same force. The nine palace gossip moved at the same time, and the strength increased exponentially, and if you want to break through the encirclement, the hope will become very slim.
Xiao Qiong respectfully knelt down in front of the statue of Zhang Tianshi, while Xiao Hei hid far away, humming and whimpering. In front of the statue of the Heavenly Master, there is a small altar, on which incense, paper and other offerings are placed. After Xiao Qiong worshiped the Heavenly Master devoutly, she got up and walked to the altar, wanting to see the truth closely. I didn't want to step on the yin and yang fish, and the ground under my feet actually rotated for no reason!
