Chapter 595: Master Zu (Medium)
Hearing Wu Xia say that, I suddenly felt a little excited in my heart: "There is an earth fire on it? And that earth fire is probably the only way to get rid of the cold in my body? ”
"That's right, although that earth fire is not strong, it is very domineering!" Wu Xia said: "You think, the five elements are mutually reinforcing, the cold in your body is equivalent to water, although water is fire, but when the fire is strong to a certain extent, it will definitely be able to get rid of the cold in your body." It's like when it's cold, everyone has to warm up and get rid of the cold, it's the same thing. ”
"Oh!" I nodded, thinking that what Wu Xia said made sense.
Immediately after, I followed Wu Xia and hurriedly crawled towards the top of the altar.
There are more than ninety altars, although there are not many, but there are not many. Although the stairs to the altar were not very steep, it took several minutes to reach the top of the altar.
It was only when I got to the top of the altar that I realized that the so-called altar was almost close to the top of the cave. I stood on top of the altar and gestured with my hands outstretched, which were only about two meters away from the top of the cave.
It was only when I stretched out my hand that I realized that the top of the cave seemed to be very hot, and a hot sensation came from the top of the cave.
I didn't pay attention to it, and quickly looked around, only to find that there was only a rectangular stone table above the altar. On the stone table is someone's tablet. In front of the tablet, there is a small incense burner made of small bronze, and there are many thin bamboo sticks two or three inches long left after the incense burns one by one.
This is obviously someone worshiped by Master Zu, it may be Master Zu's master or something, otherwise Master Zu would not have lit him so much incense.
It is not clear what kind of material the tablet is made of, but it is pitch black, and it looks like it is made of both stone and wood. There is a line of small seals engraved on it, and although I know it is a small seal, I don't know a word.
My understanding of "Xiao Seal" was mentioned to us by Su Yuhan once when he was in a Chinese class. According to her, this font seems to have been derived from the policy of unifying weights and measures after Qin Shi Huang unified China, implementing the policy of "the same book and the same track". I still remember that Su Yuhan seemed to have said that at that time, Prime Minister Li Si was in charge of this matter, and he simplified it on the basis of the original Great Seal script used by the Qin State, canceled the other six languages, and created a unified Chinese character writing form.
Of course, I didn't have time to think about that at this point, because my attention was all on the corpse sitting cross-legged in front of the stone table.
The dry corpse had apparently been dead for years, but probably due to the dryness of the place, his clothes hadn't completely rotted yet. I saw that he was wearing a navy blue robe, and a Tai Chi Bagua diagram could obviously be seen on the chest of the robe.
His hairstyle, in particular, made me even more sure of his identity. Because he had long hair, and he had a bun on top of his head, and a hairpin was inserted in the bun.
Obviously, he is dressed as an authentic Taoist priest.
"Our ancestor used to be a Taoist priest?" I looked at Wu Xia a little blankly.
"Who knows!" Wu Xia shook her head: "Why are you still stunned, why don't you hurry up and meet our ancestors!" He is our ancestor, although he is not surnamed Wu, but our martial arts family can be today, all thanks to his old man to teach our martial ancestor a good kung fu. ”
"Oh!" I nodded, feeling that what Wu Xia said was quite reasonable, so I quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
After kowtowing to Master Zu three times, as soon as I stood up, Wu Xia asked me with a smile: "Why don't you ask me, where is the earth fire?" ”
"That's right, Sister Xia, didn't you say that there is an earth fire on it?" That's when I remembered about the fire of the earth. As I said this, I was looking around at the altar I was on. But I found that there was no place that looked like there was a ground fire, and the only thing that could have a ground fire coming out was probably in the incense burner. But there are still so many small bamboo sticks in the incense burner that have not been burned, and the ground fire obviously did not come out of nowhere.
Wu Xia looked at me with a blank look on her face, and suddenly smiled: "Haha, you are really stupid, does the earth fire have to come out of the ground?" Why don't you know to look up and take a closer look? ”
"Look up?" I exclaimed, and hurriedly raised my head to look around at the stone wall above me. Although there was a very hot air coming out of my head, I still couldn't find where the fire was.
"Where's the fire?" I said blankly. Although I still didn't see where the earth fire was, I already knew that the earth fire must have come from above. And not from under the feet where we are.
The reason why he thinks this way is because why did Master Zu build such a high altar back then, he definitely did not want to do anything to build the altar a little higher, but to get closer to the so-called earth fire on the stone wall of the cave.
My idea Wu Xia quickly verified it for me: "Do you know why Master Zu built such a high altar back then, isn't it just to get closer to the earth fire?" ”
"Sister Xia, don't sell Guanzi, where is the earth fire?" I asked.
"I said, are you really stupid or fake stupid?" Wu Xia said with a look of disdain: "Do you think that the earth fire I said can really see the fire?" A sucker! As I told you just now, this earth fire is likely to be the aura of heaven and earth, and when the aura is strong to a certain point, it will produce a very domineering thing like earth fire......"
"How do you know that?" I asked suddenly.
"Hehe, you don't care how I know, anyway, I just know." Wu Xia smirked.
Hearing her say that, I finally understood what was going on.
If she was able to break through the late stage of the realm of turning qi into power as soon as she fell, she must have obtained some inheritance from her ancestors, or she had obtained some kind of exercise cheats or something. It's just that she's hiding it now and won't show it to me.
Especially before he also said that the words left by the ancestor where the ancestor left are clear, and you can't go up here, but after I came up, I didn't see these so-called words left by the grandfather.
I didn't say anything, I just smiled and said, "Sister Xia, I think we still don't care about whether it's hot or not, let's find a place to go out quickly!" ”
"What else do you want to get out?" Wu Xia looked disdainful: "Master Zu has said it, don't think about going out when you come down, are you more powerful than Master Zu?" ”
"Not necessarily!" I suddenly smiled proudly: "Sister Xia, didn't you notice that there were many corpses under the water on the shore before?" ”
"I saw it, I saw it a long time ago!" Wu Xia said: "And I also know that these corpses must be the ones that sank into Wolong Pond after the battle of Wolong Pond that day when your grandfather and they went out from here last time." Don't think too much, I know what you're thinking, are you thinking, since those corpses can flow here from Wolong Pond, we can swim from here to Wolong Pond? ”
"yes, that's what I thought!" I said.
"Do you know how deep Wolong Pond is?" Wu Xia said with a disdainful face: "Didn't you hear your grandfather say that Wolong Lake is a thousand feet deep!" Do you know what the concept is? One meter and three feet, a thousand feet, at least two or three hundred meters deep. Do you think you can hold your breath for two or three hundred meters? ”
"Okay, don't think about it yet!" Wu Xia said: "Since you finally came here, you can stay here with me with peace of mind!" As for the outside world, don't think about it in your life. However, thankfully, maybe both of us can break through to the Mahayana period of turning qi into strength here, hehe, I heard that once we reach the Mahayana period, it will be a half-human and half-immortal existence. At that point, maybe we'll be able to fly off the wall, and if that happens, we'll be able to go back the way we came. You tell me? Hehe, when we go out, do you still look at Wushuang? She, a martial arts wizard who is rare to see in a hundred years of martial arts, will be just a waste who can take her life with a gesture in my eyes! At that time, I have to let all the martial arts families take a good look to see whether Wu Shuang is powerful or I am powerful, and who is the martial arts wizard who is rare to see in a hundred years! ”
"Hmph......" At this moment, a familiar woman's voice suddenly came from under the altar: "Sister Xia, when did you become so despicable and shameless!" After you stunned us all, you ran to the underground palace where the ancestor was sleeping alone! I said that in the past two years, why do you always feel that you seem to ignore me, it turns out that you are jealous of me! ”
