Chapter 475: There is no cave
Xiao Jiang kept squeaking, and kept pointing towards the mountain wall with his little paws, Gu Yan couldn't help but say a little funny: "You little thing, when did you change to digging ditches and stealing holes?" ”
Lan Xiang said with a smile: "The Cloud Swallowing Beast is said to not only be able to break the formation, but also has the natural talent to find the spiritual veins of underground treasures, probably because it is more sensitive to spiritual energy. I heard that the cloud-swallowing beast raised by Zi Lin's real person has a lifespan of hundreds of years, and it is very sensitive to aura, and she has stolen a lot of the elixir she usually refines, which makes the disciples there have a headache. ”
Gu Yan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she remembered that Xiao Jiang had devoured the Purple Flame Crystal in large chunks before, but it was the first time she knew that in addition to being able to break the prohibition of the formation, the Cloud Swallowing Beast actually had the function of treasure hunting. He groaned and said: "Look at the treasure light looming inside, that Han Qianyu has been hiding underground for a long time and has not come out, maybe there will be some secrets hidden, let's go over and take a look." ”
The mountain wall had been completely broken by the battle just now, and large areas of rubble were exposed, but of course this was not difficult for them, Lan Xiang cleaned up all the rubble around him, revealing a passage leading to the depths of the mountain. When the two of them entered the belly of the mountain and saw the scene inside, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, Lan Xiang said, "Isn't this the cave mansion they arranged?" ”
In the deep belly of the mountain, the power emitted by the explosion of the Zhuyan Mirror directly destroyed the mountain wall several zhang thick, revealing the huge internal space of the mountain. When the wind penetrates, there are dozens of ever-bright lamps that spontaneously combust in the wind, illuminating the inside as bright as day.
Lan Xiang whispered, "This is not the light here. It should be a unique moonstone, look at the history of this mountainside. It should be at least thousands of years old, and it is really quite a lot of money to put these spirit stones here for lighting. It has not been damaged by the passage of time. ”
Gu Yan listened to Lan Xiang's words, but remembered that when she was in Luodi that time, she participated in the battle of the Fan family due to fate, and their hall was once covered with moonstones. It's just that compared to the belly of this mountain, it's still a drop in the bucket. In the middle of the mountain. Like the stars in the sky, they are so dotted that you can barely see the edge at a glance.
In the spare space of the moonstones, with very simple strokes, carved frescoes, most of which are scenes of monks fighting. Gu Yan looked at it carefully, and felt that it was very similar to what he had seen in the underground palace in Meridian Valley. I couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Could it be that this place was opened before the Dao Demon War?" ”
The two men continued to walk forward. I feel that the terrain is getting more and more xiangxia, and it has reached the ground, not far ahead. There is a white jade platform, and below it are pale cyan stone steps, Lan Xiang said in surprise: "It is paved with Qingtian jade, the owner here, it is really generous!" ”
Qingtian jade is similar to moonstone, both are a kind of spirit stone, but unlike ordinary spirit stones, Qingtian jade has the effect of calming the mind, which can make the chaotic aura become quiet, and is usually used to suppress the eyes of the spirit gathering array. It is used here to pave stone steps, and it is really a big deal. Gu Yan looked at it, the stone steps were winding Xiangxia, and he couldn't see the end at a glance, and he didn't know how far it stretched. I couldn't help but think in my heart: Digging up all the Qingtian jade here and selling it is probably enough for the expenses of a medium-sized sect for more than ten years, right?
On the white jade platform, there are four rows and eight vertical railings, each row of railings are carved with extremely fine patterns, but it does not look chaotic, only feels that the atmosphere of high glory is full, and the pen blade reveals the simple and gorgeous atmosphere from ancient times. Seeing this, the two of them could probably conclude that this should have been built before the Dao Demon War. Just looking at the carvings on the stone steps and on the surrounding stone walls, it seems that they were not made in the same period, and it seems that after they were built here, someone slowly added them.
Lan Xiangqi said: "Although this building is hidden deep in the belly of the mountain, it is not so difficult to find that the two of you have been collapsing and revealing its true form at one time, why haven't you heard Zhenzhen mention it, has it been that their Danxia faction has not discovered this place for so many years?" ”
Gu Yan groaned and said: "Maybe things are not so simple, at the beginning we estimated that the Danding faction used the method of making shapes according to the place, just to raise the nine-tailed leeches, and now it seems that they are outside with the Nine Dragons Lock Beads, the Seven Stars Gathering the Moon and other formations, most of them also have factors that are forbidden here." ”
She saw that Lan Xiang was a little confused, so she explained in detail: "This place is full of cold, it should be forbidden here with the power of the Taiyin Yuehua, they have created such a formation, on the one hand, they can extract the Taiyin Qi here to break the ban, and on the other hand, they can use the extracted Taiyin Jinghua to nourish the nine-tailed leech, which is a good calculation to kill two birds with one stone." Han Qianyu is a person with great intentions, and the layout is also very deep! ”
Lan Xiang is not very familiar with the science of formation, so Gu Yan did not elaborate, in fact, this kind of arrangement is by no means a simple statement in her mouth, she needs to have a deep attainment in the science of formation, otherwise she will not be able to rely on both ends, not only will she not be able to kill two birds with one stone, but she will not even be able to complete a goal. Han Qianyu is a person who is really the only person Gu Yan has seen in his life when it comes to far-reaching thinking.
Gu Yan pointed to the mountain wall again and said: "This place is sealed by the Taiyin Qi, if it is not sucked by the Nine-Tailed Leech, and it is shocked by our fighting method today, I am afraid that it may not be able to see the light of day in a few thousand years." As you said, the Danxia Sect has been declining for thousands of years, and the traces left here are at least thousands of years ago, and probably no one has entered this place since then. She gently tapped her forehead with her hand and said, "Master Bimen may know about this, but she may not take it seriously, so she didn't remind us, and she probably has her reasons." ”
Lan Xiang nodded, "Let's go down and take a look first, maybe there will be unexpected gains!" Speaking of this, her expression couldn't help but be a little excited. Although Lan Xiang is the elder of the Bixia Sect, speaking of which, with the strength of the Bixia Sect, what she, an elder does, is not much stronger than those scattered cultivators, unlike those elders of the Great Gate Sect, people like them are very interested in treasure hunting. I've always been very enthusiastic. If you can find an ancient monk's cave, then it is equivalent to picking up a treasure.
Gu Yan patted Xiao Jiang's head. Let it explore the way more than ten steps ahead, and then the two of them walked down the steps, the steps were very slow, Gu Yan also used the Zhu Yan mirror to look around, for fear that there would be some ambush inside, and he didn't know how many circles he had turned, Lan Xiang said stammered: "I'm afraid it's already deep into the belly of the mountain, and if you go down, you will go to the depths of the leylines!" ”
Fortunately, it is in the excavated road. The four walls are covered with moonstones, so you don't have to worry about lighting. Xiao Jiang has always been very cheerful, and the further down it goes, the more excited it becomes, and the fur all over its body is constantly shaking, looking extremely happy, as if it is constantly absorbing spiritual energy in the chaotic space. Looking at its appearance, Gu Yan estimated that there would be no danger below, so he walked down boldly.
I don't know how many times I went around. The green jade stone steps continue to spiral down. Gu Yan estimated that he had probably gone deep into the ground for nearly a hundred zhang, and then Xiao Jiang finally stopped. There was no way in front, only a white jade wall blocked the way, Xiao Jiang gently patted the wall with his little paws, and nodded to Gu Yan excitedly.
This wall seems to be carved from white jade, with reliefs on it, like a woman in a five-colored xia dress sitting there preaching, and below are all her worshippers. When it comes to the place where it rises, there are heavenly maidens scattering flowers, fragrant roads, and the whole jade wall, all carved are such scenes.
Gu Yan saw that there was a diamond-shaped mark on the woman's clothes, so he said, "I think it's the ancestor of the Danxia Sect, let's make a salute here." ”
Lan Xiang also saw the same pattern on Bi Zhenzhen's robe, but the shape was slightly different, so together with Gu Yan, he respectfully made three gestures against the relief on the wall.
After they walked three times and then raised their heads, the jade wall silently parted to both sides, and then revealed that there was a world inside.
At first glance, the space doesn't look very large, but the road inside is twisting and turning, and it looks like a hole. Along the middle of the road, on both sides are a stone room, in the whole space, it seems to be an octagonal distribution, like a huge beehive, and when Gu Yan walked near the center, he found that there are eight doors here, that is, there are eight jade walls with reliefs, each jade wall passes through the road, there is a stone chamber group, in the center is an octagonal pattern, on each corner there is a Dharma altar, on the altar stands a half-human statue, the carved appearance is different, But the clothes are similar, but the colors are different.
When Gu Yan saw these eight altars, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and said: "This is the Eight Extremes Chaos Altar, what is set up in the center must be the treasure of isolating yin and yang!" ”
The Eight Extremes Chaos Altar is an extremely powerful magic array, more powerful than the Zhuxiantai she has seen in the underground palace, according to the shape of the gossip, the four dimensions between heaven and earth, known as the immortal catastrophe, eternal and difficult to sell. Because there is no movement in the stillness, its momentum cannot last long, so there must be a treasure with both yin and yang in the middle as a suppression.
Drawing a straight line along the eight altars, you can intersect at one point, that is, the center of the entire eight poles, where a white jade shrine is quietly placed, in the jade niche, there is a Dharma body the same size as a real person, it is an extremely dignified and beautiful woman, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, one hand pinching the Dharma to stand in front of the heart, the other hand is placed horizontally in front of the lower abdomen, a pair of eyes are deep and far-reaching, there is an indescribable light and quiet beauty, looking luxurious and solemn.
Gu Yan saw her appearance, and the magic robe she was wearing, which was the same as the one engraved on the relief outside, and said: "This should be the Dharma body of the ancestor of the Danxia Sect back then, but I didn't expect that after she was destroyed, the Yuan Shen did not ascend, but sat here." ”
Lan Xiang sighed: "She was able to single-handedly create the Danxia Sect, and she was probably a great person at that time, but unfortunately she was not able to break the day when she turned into a god, and she finally had to be trapped in Yuanying and sit down." There was a sudden sense of depression in her heart, throughout the ages, there were as many monks as carp crossing the river, and there were many cultivators who had become primordial infants, and how many people could break through the void and turn into gods? The road of cultivating immortals is really lonely and seeking up and down!
Gu Yan walked to the jade shrine and bowed to show his respect for this Danxia Patriarch. When she bowed nine times, she suddenly felt a strange aura around her, and then saw a spiritual rune pasted on the jade shrine, which began to flash with five-colored brilliance. Then a voice sounded slowly, "The person below is my first generation of Danxia Sect disciples. Breaking into the underground palace jade niche for some reason? ”
Gu Yan was taken aback, could it be a monk ten thousand years ago. And the original god can survive? You must know that monks who generally do not have a baby, after they die, the Yuan Shen will also become the most primitive aura, automatically dissipating between heaven and earth, Gu Hongye in the Red Leaf Valley, it is because of the unique power of the Zhu Yan Mirror that it can preserve its Yuan Shen, which is still spiritual, but after Gu Yan took the Zhu Yan Mirror. A trace of Zuihou will melt with the wind, leaving no traces at all. Even if it's a monk in his infancy. I've never heard of a god that can be preserved for 10,000 years. Could it be that this ancestor of the Danxia Sect really has unique merits?
She looked around intently, but the voice came from the mouth of the statue, and she kept repeating the words: "It's my disciples for generations, why did you break into the jade shrine of the underground palace?" ”
After repeating it several times in a row, Gu Yan realized that no matter whether it was a divine thought or not, this remaining divine thought did not seem to exist consciously. I just kept repeating what I said. She said, "Disciple Gu Yan." He was good friends with the master of the Danxia Sect, and he strayed into this place because he was looking for medicine, which disturbed him. Thank you for your understanding. ”
The voice didn't seem to hear it, and after repeating it several times, he continued: "According to my last orders, unless the Danxia Sect lives and dies, you can't open the jade shrine, as soon as the jade shrine is opened, the heavenly wind will invade, and my jasper dharma body will fly away." The outside dungeon is made of green jade, and there is an eight-pole chaotic Yuan Array to protect it, which can resist the siege of less than ten Yuan Infant Monks for several days without falling, if there is no turnaround, I will use the remaining Heavenly Spirit Runes in my Dharma body, teleport away, and take refuge far away! ”
These words were repeated three times in a row. Only then did Gu Yan understand that this trace of divine thought was probably sealed here by the ancestor back then with that spirit rune, and it was not a divine thought that was connected to her own heart, but just to transmit information. According to her, if she arrives here, unless the Danxia Sect has already had a big calamity, the head of the sect will open the jade shrine. Presumably, there is another set of unknown methods to open the underground palace outside, otherwise there would not be so many traces of entering the underground palace in the previous thousands of years. But here's the first time someone has come in.
According to the information left by this divine thought, the whole body here is made of green jade, and there are eight extremes of chaos Yuan array to protect each other, and the eight jade wall reliefs are the eight entrances of the jade niche of the underground palace. With the Eight Extremes Chaos Yuan Array, those eight entrances could be completely sealed, so even the Yuan Infant Cultivator would not be able to attack them in a hurry. As for what she said, she could withstand the attack of ten Yuanying monks for a few days, it was a bit taken for granted, after all, the formation presided over by a Jiedan monk, no matter how powerful it was, it was impossible to withstand the siege of so many high-level monks.
After these words had been said three times, an extremely gentle smile appeared on Fa Body, making people look like a spring breeze, and then a puff of green smoke rose into the air, drifting into the air, and scattered. The Dharma body also disappeared as the green smoke dissipated, and only a golden jade box remained on the ground, engraved with a few ancient characters: Seeing this Dharma body, it is like me coming in person.
Lan Xiang said with some hesitation: "Are we in trouble, this jade box, do you want to open it and take a look?" ”
Before she finished speaking, this jade box had already opened on its own, and there was only a shallow layer inside, with a jade letter on the top, and a piece of rune paper on the bottom, engraved with fine lines, probably what she originally called the Heavenly Spirit Rune.
Gu Yan picked up the jade card, and there were only a few words on it: "Danxia Sect has encountered a great disaster, and it can get out of the Biling Cave Heaven, which was obtained from overseas caves in the past and refined. Those who get this Cambodia can hold the position of the head of Danxia Sect. There is also a line of small words below, "The Heavenly Spirit Rune, refined from the spirit of the Ten Thousand Years Divine Jiao, can travel thousands of miles and come in an instant." ”
Gu Yan looked at the talisman seal below, and couldn't help but be surprised, the gods traveled thousands of miles, wasn't that equivalent to a teleportation array? With such a sharp weapon, it is equivalent to a portable teleportation array, she remembered what Gu Hongye said to her when she first stepped into the path of cultivation: "If you can't beat it, you can run!" "And this Heavenly Spirit Rune is the most powerful weapon for escape!
Just looking at the following annotation again, her heart cooled a little, this Heavenly Spirit Rune must be destroyed once with one hundred and twenty middle-grade spirit stones, and the location where she can go is also limited, it must be the place where she has arranged the magic circle in advance. Gu Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Do you old man know that the current immortal cultivation realm is no longer the immortal cultivation realm you were at that time, at that time, you could eat the intermediate spirit stones as food, but now it is very difficult to find a few pieces!" ”
But Rao is so, this Heavenly Spirit Rune is indeed a priceless treasure, especially for those major sects, it takes a lot of effort and manpower to arrange a teleportation array, and there is also the danger of being damaged, and this Heavenly Spirit Rune can be carried around, and it can bring many people at a time, which is far more convenient than the teleportation array. Gu Yan put the Heavenly Spirit Rune in again and said, "Let's go back and leave this to the Bimen Master to dispose of." "It's not her thing, she doesn't want to be greedy, after all, it's a master's thing, and it's not of much use to herself, so it's better to leave it to Bi Zhenzhen to have a headache.
At this time, Lan Xiang suddenly pointed to the back of the jade shrine in surprise and said, "Look, there is still handwriting on it!" ”
Gu Yan looked up, and sure enough, on the jade niche that was originally as smooth as a mirror, rows of dense small characters suddenly appeared, she looked at a few lines, and said in surprise: "This is the talisman making technique of the Danxia Sect!" At the top of the row of small characters, there are four words written - Neidan Fu Dao.
Lan Xiang let out a sigh, "No wonder she said, the person who gets this jade box can be the head of my Danxia Sect, it turns out that she wrote the runes of the Danxia Sect on the top of the jade shrine, probably only after the Dharma Body soars away, these words will emerge." ”
Gu Yan nodded while reading line by line, these are all written in ancient characters, and the words are very short, and some even have to be read several times to understand the essence. When I saw Zuihou, I suddenly found a few lines of text that are popular today. It just seemed to be a little different, so she called Lan Xiang over to take a look.
Lan Xiang glanced at it a few times and said, "These words are variations of Jinwen, and few people use them like this now, probably thousands of years ago. She looked at it, and suddenly exclaimed, "These are left by the Biling Fairy!" ”
Gu Yan didn't know what she was talking about, and looked at the words seriously, which read: "Yu has practiced for thousands of years, and he has quite an understanding of the art of Inner Dan, but he is different from the same way. "Here are some of the densely packed alchemy paths.
The art of alchemy has something in common with the study of Fu Seal, but the Dan Dao written on it makes Gu Yan look very familiar, which is mostly the same as what she saw in Jiuzhi Ding, seeing Zuihou, there are two small words "Bi Ling" in the corner. Only then did she remember that the Biling Fairy was the ancestor who founded the Bixia Sect!
Gu Yan is accustomed to those Dan Dao engraved on the Nine Peaks Ding, zuihou is also embellished with this name, it is not that Gu Yan is forgetful, but she has not been able to connect the founding patriarch of the Bixia Sect with the forbidden land of the Danxia Sect thousands of miles away!
Lan Xiang said in shock: "Looking at it like this, it seems that after the Biling Patriarch left the Danding faction back then, he inadvertently came to this underground palace, and saw the Inner Dan Rune Dao left behind the jade shrine, and then he comprehended it on the Dan Dao, and only then did he leave these small words on the jade shrine under the confirmation of the two phases." ”
Gu Yan nodded, the facts should be correct with Lan Xiang's speculation, it's just how the original Biling Fairy entered this underground palace, and how did she come to this forbidden place that no one has broken into for 10,000 years, and left those small words on the jade shrine, and it didn't alarm the rune left by this Danxia patriarch. It's probably always a mystery.
She took a closer look around and said, "This jade shrine should be the magic weapon that suppressed the Eight Extremes Chaos Yuan Array. If I'm not mistaken, this entire underground palace is a cave house that was moved from overseas by the Danxia patriarch back then, and she wrote on it that she can transfer the entire cave with the help of the Heavenly Spirit Rune, and even if it is not transferred, with the protection of this cave, it can also guard the attack of the vast majority of monks. (To be continued)
