403, the fairy cave, the village side of the big seclusion
In Xiao Yang's view, the leader of the association led another team to take a detour and make a big circle in the mountains, although they arrived at the destination, they did not see the toad stone. In Cheng Tianle's view, his hike with the mountaineering team is a bigger circle. In fact, Yu Daoyang's predecessor was in the cave back then, he had already found it in the news report on the Internet a few years ago, but he didn't dare to believe it, so he had this mountaineering trip.
Where is Yu Daoyang's cave mansion? If you follow the prompts in the divine message, you will be on the right side of the wordless heavenly book, in the direction of the boulder shaped like a monster's head. Passing through the rolling hills, three wavy hills in succession, halfway up the last hill on the edge of the mountain, opposite the monster boulder.
Cheng Tianle didn't know where the wordless book was, so he found a place to look in the direction and looked into the distance, and outside the mountain was the Taishan Street of Sanshilipu Town, Puwan New Area, which was under development. He took the bus from there in the morning to get to the climbing site, and walked back through Anzi Mountain from a place called Datou Lizi Mountain.
During the National Day holiday, Cheng Tianle searched for relevant information on the Internet at home, and accidentally read a news report from the year four years ago, titled "A rare stalactite cave was found on the southern slope of Taishan Mountain in our city's thirty libao". The so-called discovery is actually just the reporter's own discovery, and the local villagers have long known that there is a cave there, called Taishan Ancient Cave.
According to reporters, he entered the cave on August 10, 2012, when the temperature outside was more than 30 degrees Celsius. The hole is not big, but the internal shape is like a gourd, the mouth is small and the belly is large, and the space inside is very open. There is stagnant water and silt everywhere in the cave, and the stalactites and stalagmites on all sides are also covered with yellow-brown mud. But where the water washed away, there are many beautiful stalactites revealed.
The passage that can be walked in the cave is twisted and undulating, and there are all kinds of stalagmites and stalactites on all sides, and the highest point is more than ten meters. The shortest part can only be drilled through by a cat's waist, and the stalactites occasionally exposed in the mud cover show various colors such as golden, milky white, and jet black under the light of the flashlight. The reporter, accompanied by the villagers, walked more than 300 meters and found another fork in the road at the end. It is a stone gap more than one person high, and it is even deeper when you look inside, but it is full of stagnant water and the terrain is complicated, so you can't go in again.
According to local villagers, the locals have long known that there is a cave in the mountain, and the old people call it Taishan Ancient Cave. Once upon a time, it was just a mud cave, and the entrance was so small that no one could get in. In the rainy season. There will be yellow-brown mud flowing down the hillside at the entrance of the cave, and it will feel very sticky and delicate to the touch, and there is a faint fragrance. Therefore, there is a legend here that there is fairy energy in the ancient cave, and mud can cure diseases. In ancient times, if someone in the local village had a stomachache or discomfort, they would come here to ask for a little mud to bring back and let the patient take it as medicine.
In another local legend, the cave is also known as the Old Wolf's Den, and it is said that the villagers saw wolves here a long time ago. Fairy Cave and Old Wolf's Den. The gap between this legend is too big! Therefore, the locals are in awe of this cave, and no one will approach it if nothing happens, and no one will go into it to see what it is.
Until the nineties of the last century. There was a lot of construction and development all over the country, and several mines were opened nearby, and the rumbling blasting in the distance shook the mud down, and the hole became bigger and bigger, so someone drilled into it and discovered the space inside. A local villager surnamed Huang once contracted this barren mountain, and he also opened a winery in a nearby town, and he didn't think there was anything unusual when he entered this mud cave, but the constant temperature here was warm in winter and cool in summer, so he used it as a wine cellar.
The cave is so deep that the cellar is only a small part of the cellar not far from the entrance. The villager surnamed Huang and the reporter who later entered the cave did not bring this cave to the end, and it is estimated that there are still many wonders of the stalactite cave inside.
When Cheng Tianle found this past news on the Internet, he also wondered if it would be Yu Daoyang's cave mansion, but he felt that the possibility was very small. How could the cave of the master be in the wine cellar of a modern villager? And according to the divine message, the cave is very secretive. How could it be so lightly discovered and made it to the local news? So Cheng Tianle didn't go to that place in the first place, but still joined the mountaineering team according to the guidance of the message, starting with the search for the Toad Stone and the Wordless Heavenly Book.
As a result, Cheng Tianle stood under the wordless book of heaven and looked in the direction of the message, passing through the undulating hills, beyond the mountain is Taishan Street, which originally belonged to Jinzhou District and is now included in Puwan New District, according to the tips of Yu Daoyang's predecessors and the news reports a few years ago, the cave is where it is located! In fact, it has been discovered a long time ago, and Cheng Tianle has also found out the relevant information, but he has gone around in such a big circle.
In the era of Daoyang's life, beyond the edge of this mountainous area was a wild jungle infested with fierce beasts, but today it has become a town with a large number of people.
But the toad stone and the wordless book of heaven are definitely not in vain, if Cheng Tianle does not take this trip but goes directly to the cave, I am afraid that he will miss the opportunity to have synesthesia with all things in heaven and earth, and appreciate the artistic conception of the years. In his cultivation, he has experienced the process of refining the form, refining the weapon, refining the god, the imperial weapon, and the imperial form, and he also secretly thinks in his heart - to break through the realm of Dacheng Zhenren, is the next road to the god? What kind of realm is the so-called god?
With this kind of thinking, Cheng Tianle did not follow the bus of the mountaineering team to go back to Dalian that night to disband, but went into the mountain overnight to find the wordless heavenly book. The way of the royal form is unhindered, and he has long seen the terrain of the mountains and rivers, he did not take any road during the day, but went through the mountains to the destination, and arrived at the place in less than half an hour.
A round of clear moonlight is shining on the stone wall known as the wordless book of heaven, Cheng Tianle sat quietly in front of the stone wall, with a flying stone bracelet on his right wrist, the three Hetian jade seeds vaguely reflect the bright moon since ancient times, with the hair on his knees, the one in the green silk such as snow-white hair looks so eye-catching in the moonlight.
In the past few days, no mountaineering team has come to disturb, and no one else has been here, so Cheng Tianle sat quietly in front of the wordless book of heaven for three days and three nights. With the rise and fall of the sun and the moon, I feel the artistic conception of the feelings of the years from ancient times to the present, not only in refining the original spirit, but also washing and refining the magic weapon of the hair. The magic power of the dusty sword was finally successfully refined completely and clearly, but the way of the gods explored by Cheng Tianle, although he had some understanding, always seemed to be a little behind and could not be completely broken.
It seems that he has indeed cultivated to the point of being a true person, but he still hasn't gotten the natural enough supernatural powers, and he lacks a trace of fire after all. Three days later, at midnight, Cheng Tianle finally stood up, put the dust in his backpack, and walked down the hill towards the cave.
Coming to the last hill on the edge of the mountain, over the hill is the village outside the town of Thirty Miles, and the entrance to the cave is halfway up the slope. The news report of the discovery of a large stalactite cave a few years ago did not cause much of a sensation and was gradually forgotten by people not long after.
Although the reporter called for it in the report at the beginning, it is believed that this ancient cave has a very high ornamental value, and if it can be developed, it will become a very good tourist resource. But after all, this is too far from the metropolis, and there is no tourist area nearby, who would come all the way to drill such a mud hole, if large-scale supporting development is obviously not worth the loss.
So a few years later, it's still a barren mountain and wilderness, and almost no one comes. The local villagers have known that there are holes here since they were children, and they will not be bored to drill holes to play; And except for Xu Xiake, a generation of earth masters in ancient times, ordinary people would not go so far to see an undeveloped cave, even Xu Xiake would not come to drill every day.
Cheng Tianle followed a path in the bushes to find the entrance to the cave, and it was actually locked by a simple iron fence door, and the black hole inside was missing. Of course, this door can't stop Cheng Tianle, and he opened the lock and went in, he is really bold, and he doesn't feel scared at all, for ordinary people who dare to drill this kind of place in the middle of the night, and he didn't even hit the flashlight.
The dozens of meters inside the entrance of the cave have obviously been cleared, and as you go further and wider, there is a cave hall in the mountains, with various stalactites hanging down on all sides, and the color is not clear in the dark, but the divine sense can detect that most of the mud covered on it has peeled off, and there are wooden slats and other debris on the ground, which used to be used as a wine cellar but is now abandoned. After all, the cave is too remote, and the cost of moving things around and transporting them is too high, and after being reported by reporters, it is better to rent a warehouse in the town.
As he walked on, the water and mud were getting bigger and bigger, and the ground was undulating, and Cheng Tianle also found footprints in several dry places, which were left by reporters when they came to explore the cave a few years ago, and no one has gone into the depths since. Walking in the depths of the cave is absolutely dark, and you can't see anything with the naked eye alone! There is no possibility of lighting here, but since Cheng Tianle broke through the Demon Realm Tribulation, the Yuan Shen can sense the surroundings instead of ordinary five senses, even if he only hears the echo of his footsteps to know the terrain and landform. At this moment, his footsteps were silent, but he unfolded the exterior of the Yuan Shen and tried not to touch any breath in the environment.
It took about 300 meters to walk around the stalactites in different shapes, and in the end it was actually equivalent to walking through the stalagmite gaps. When the passage comes to an end, there is a fork in the road on the right, which is a small hole that allows only one person to pass through the guò, and the footprints left in the cave end there. This was the same place where the reporter last turned around, and at least in recent years, no one has gone deeper.
