The night passed in uneasiness, when the dawn appeared in the sky, there was a sense of relief in the center of Lou Jing, after many years of wandering the rivers and lakes, this was the first time to feel the strength of insects, perhaps, this is just the beginning, Lou Jingzhong turned his head to look at the quiet cave mouth not far away, and there was always a premonition in his heart.
Xia Yuxin got out of the tent, stretched her waist hard, fully showing her beautiful figure, Fang Shi's eyes were involuntarily attracted to it, until she glared at her fiercely, Fang Shi retracted his gaze and turned his gaze to the mouth of the cave.
When the sun rises just now, the transformation of heaven and earth qi is accelerating, the yang energy begins to expand on a large scale, and the yin energy is introverted, according to the general situation, the cave is mostly a place where the yin energy gathers, when the sun rises, the yin energy converges, and the breath should flow inward, but Fang Shi did not observe this phenomenon just now, and there is no breath flow at the entrance of the cave, if it is not close at hand, Fang Shi will even think that the mouth of the cave is an illusion drawn by people.
Qi stagnation is carbuncle, and the breath does not flow indicates that there is some kind of powerful aura in the cave, it is said that this is the ancestral witch ancestral hall of Lijiazhai, and it is normal to have a preset array or other means, and it is reasonable to form an aura, but this completely closed aura gives people a bad feeling, and there is a kind of lifeless gloom.
After eating breakfast and packing up his things, Lou Jingzhong went around again to take a look and replenish some medicinal powder around. The provincial camp was invaded by poisonous insects.
When the sun shines into the valley. They stood in front of the cave. Because of the shade of the trees, although the place faces east, the sunlight does not shine in, and only the sunlight reflected from the waterhole gently sways on the stone wall and inside the hole, which looks very strange.
Lou Jingzhong pursed his lips: "I'll go and see it first, right?" ”
Fang Shi said: "Take a torch, don't worry, I guess there must be a lot of small animals in here, and the strange thing is that these small animals never seem to come out of the hole." The small animals outside the cave don't go in, is this a dead old and dead don't get along? ”
Xia Yuxin squatted down and looked at the ground carefully in disbelief, and sure enough, there were no traces of animal activity on the ground, and even the ordinary ants nearby did not walk beyond the hole, as if they were avoiding the entrance of the cave.
Xia Yuxin raised her head: "Then how do you know that there are many small animals in the Dao?" ”
"Hehe, guess."
Xia Yuxin pursed her lips, but after thinking about it carefully, she was actually inclined to think that there were a large number of poisonous insects in the cave.
Lou Jingzhong nodded solemnly, he had already prepared a piece of pine wood to make a torch. Hearing Fang Shi say this, he lit the torch. When the fire was burning, he pushed the vines with a wooden staff in one hand and put the torch in the other, and the torch swayed, and the flame was a little shorter, but the burning was still normal.
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the air inside, Lou Jingzhong walked in slowly, carefully paying attention to the ground and the top of the cave, the height of the cave entrance was more than three meters, and the further you went in, the higher the height, this was a cave with a small belly, and the cave was cool and dry. Lou Jingzhong was not in a hurry to leave, but stood in place and waited for a while, making sure that the air would not poison people or anything, and then slowly walked towards the cave.
Fang Shi waited until Lou Jingzhong walked more than ten meters before waving his hand and walking towards the entrance of the cave with Xia Yuxin and Li Shuya.
The four of them kept the formation and slowly moved forward, walking along the same road in an arc for about thirty or forty meters, the cave has become very huge, the situation of the dome in the cave is no longer visible, Fang Shi has to use a strong flashlight to irradiate it to see clearly, every step, Fang Shi They have to carefully observe the surrounding environment, but the strange thing is that they can't even see an ant, isn't it said that there are many small animals?
"Look, what's that?"
Lou Jingzhong pointed to the right side of the cave, the cave is closed and turned here, the square stone keeps up a few steps, shines with a flashlight, it is a memorial arch, limited to the environment of the cave, the height of the memorial arch is only more than two meters, there is a gap of more than one meter from the top of the cave, the memorial arch is written in big red characters 'Li clan ancestral hall' four words, and the stone pillars on both sides are written respectively, 'morality is the first blessing of all generations, and the wealth and wealth are long'.
A few people came to the bottom of the archway, Xia Yuxin turned on the flashlight and looked at it carefully for a while, and then said with certainty:
"Han Dynasty Lishu, this archway has been a long time."
Fang Shi looked at Xia Yuxin: "Can't modern people write official letters?" ”
"Cut, I don't understand, the evolution of the font is regular, this writing method should be written between the Tang and Song dynasties, and the current official book is different, you don't think that the official book has been unchanged since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, there is still a big difference."
"Well, that is, this place was built in the Song Dynasty at the latest, and it may be the end of the Tang Dynasty at the earliest? So this is a real monument? This should be returned to Lijiazhai. ”
Fangshi has a shallow foundation, how can it be compared with Xia Yuxin, a well-cultivated family elite, in order not to continue to make a fool of himself, he had to quickly change the topic, Xia Yuxin smiled secretly, and finally found a place where Fangshi is not as good as himself, in fact, Fangshi's dynastic is still wrong, and later generations can also imitate the official books of the Tang and Song dynasties.
Lou Jingzhong also said in confusion: "It's strange why didn't the old man Li Shangui hand over this place to Li Jiazhai back then?" Don't you want your descendants to come to the priests of your ancestors? ”
Fang Shi thought for a while, pointed to the archway and said, "The answer may be inside." ”
Lou Jingzhong thought about it, the torch flickered, and he was about to cross the archway when he raised his legs, and Fang Shi hurriedly shouted: "Don't move!" ”
Lou Jingzhong was frightened, his raised legs were frozen in the air, and as a result, his center of gravity was crooked, and his body naturally staggered forward two steps.
Fang Shi stretched out his hand, accurately buckled Lou Jingzhong's shoulder, and threw Lou Jingzhong directly behind him, Fang Shi's flashlight shone on the ground behind the archway, under the strong light, there was a dignified reflection, everyone took a closer look, and couldn't help but gasp, there was a large piece of poisonous insects.
These poisonous insects appeared silently, when everyone approached the archway just now, there were no animals on the ground, how could there be so many insects in an instant?!
"Look at the ground, there are some thin grooves on the ground, and these grooves are probably reserved for insect activity."
Fang Shi's words woke Xia Yuxin up from the shock, and after a closer look, he saw the vertical and horizontal winding grooves on the ground on the other side of the archway, the width of these grooves was only about three or four centimeters, and the depth could not be seen.
Look at these insects again, mainly a kind of mountain ants of about two centimeters, black and swarthy reflecting the light of the flashlight, it seems that they are not good stubble, and there are some large centipedes with a length of more than 20 centimeters, and there seem to be a few gray-black snakes wriggling in the side of the cave.
Xia Yuxin subconsciously leaned towards Fang Shi: "Hurry up and get the anthelmintic medicine"
"Don't!" Fang Shi hurriedly drank Xia Yuxin, and reached out to grab her wrist: "You pay attention, these snakes and insects don't have the intention of attacking across the archway, let's talk about it."
Fang Shi raised his flashlight and let the speed of light shoot down the cave to the depths: "We don't know how long the remaining distance is, let alone how many insects and snakes there will be here, in case we anger them, I don't think a few of us can stop the huge number of insects and ants." ”
Lou Jingzhong also stepped forward again at this time, standing half a step in front of Fang Shi, as a subordinate, he had to block all dangers for his master's family.
"What then, do you want to use magic?"
Xia Yuxin let Fang Shi grab her wrist, so that she seemed to feel more at ease.
Fang Shi shook his head: "You pay attention to the breath inside and outside this archway, and you are surprised. ”
Fang Shi reminded her like this, Xia Yuxin came to her senses, she was scared just now, and she didn't even observe the environment carefully, she calmed down, carefully observed the surroundings, and then found that the breath of the cave formed two non-interfering areas on both sides of this archway.
The breath of the archway is quite normal, although the fluidity is not very good, and the yin qi is thick and evil, but it is still within the range of understanding, but it is different on the side of the archway, the breath on the other side of the archway is very vast and condensed, giving people a feeling of being like a mountain and an abyss, and it is like a raging thunder that does not start, and the dangerous meaning is terrifying.
"This, what is this, why is it so evil?"
Lou Jingzhong also frowned, his perception of the breath and the feng shui bureau was much worse, but his sensitivity to danger was much stronger than Xia Yuxin's, just now it was just a moment of carelessness, and now as soon as Fang Shi said it, he immediately felt the monstrous killing intent opposite the archway.
"Fang Shi, what's going on with this huge killing intent? Is it a killing array? ”
"No, it's not, it's willpower, or it should be called resentment, it's a collection of willpower caused by pure resentment, the ancestral hall is originally a place to gather willpower, not to mention that this place has been designed as a place where yin and yang nourish wishing power, although it is exquisite, but they may not think that the most nourishing thing will be endless resentment."
"What about these worms and snakes"
"You're trying to say why don't they come out and attack? The small animals that have lived in this powerful breath for a long time will definitely feel uncomfortable once they leave this environment, so they are reluctant to leave, and at the same time, there is also this archway, which has a powerful insect repellent effect, and this is the door to close these poisonous insects. In addition, these poisonous insects have been nourished and infiltrated by these powerful breaths for a long time, and they must have strong offensive and offensive power, behind this gate, there is a Huangquan Road! ”
Lou Jingzhong and Xia Yuxin both looked at the swarthy cave behind the archway with some fear, and a cold air slowly rose from their hearts, gradually penetrating into the whole body, as if they were about to freeze the whole person.
"So, what do we do now?"
"Retreat! Exit the 龗 to go. (To be continued......)
