Volume 1 Chapter 4 Heaven and Earth Cave
On the dark mountain road, a pair of horse-drawn carriages were driving at high speed.
I slept soundly, and when I woke up again, the team was already on the way.
When the coachman saw that Zhiyi woke up, he hurriedly took out a hot steamed bun from his pocket, "You were still sleeping when you set off just now, so I didn't bother you, it's still hot, hurry up and eat." ”
Zhiyi took the steamed bun, "Thank you coachman, I've really troubled you along the way." ”
"Hey, it's nothing, it's just that seeing you is like seeing your former self, so I put more effort into it. The coachman drove the carriage quickly, and kept following closely with the carriage in front of him, "When you finish eating, you will get ready, and you will enter the cave of heaven and earth later." ”
"Heaven and Earth Cave?" Zhiyi solved the steamed bun in two bites, "What is the Heaven and Earth Cave?"
The coachman didn't answer, he looked straight ahead, and then the reins tightened, "Hold on!"
Suddenly, the sky was spinning, and the carriage was actually driving in a spiraling mountain road.
"What is this!" Zhiyi had just finished speaking, and a sharp turn threw him out of the carriage.
"Be careful!" the coachman quickly grabbed Zhiyi's collar with one hand, and quickly tied a rope to his hand, "It's urgent now, I can't take care of you, you come up slowly!"
Zhiyi pulled the rope tightly, but the violent shaking from side to side made it difficult for him to exert his strength.
"Hurry, hurry up, or you'll be thrown out of the next corner!" the coachman tugged at the reins, and he wanted to pull a hand, but the galloping horse wouldn't let him do it.
"Got it!" Zhiyi dragged his hands up desperately, and finally, he stepped on a stone, and then returned to the carriage safely.
"Haha, it's dangerous...... he gasped desperately, pressing the heart of the throat.
The coachman looked at Zhiyi and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay, just come up." ”
"Coachman, what's going on?" Zhiyi continued to look at the spiraling mountain road, and a chill instantly came from the soles of his feet, "This is the Heaven and Earth Cave you are talking about?"
"Yes, this is the heaven and earth cave set up by the Ninth True Son. As soon as the coachman pulled the reins, the horses instantly turned to the right, "The cloud-piercing hole that connects the sky and the earth, can go up to the sky and into the earth, or fall into hell!"
Zhiyi clasped the railing of the carriage with both hands, and his feet resisted hard, but his body was still swaying left and right under the action of gravity.
"I'm afraid this Ninth True Son is not a psychopath! Why are you setting up this hole!" Zhiyi didn't hold back this wave of sharp turns, and hit the wooden railing with one head.
"I don't know..... Hold on!"
With the sound of the coachman's grasp, the whole carriage spun again, and directly ahead was an uphill slope of nearly 90 degrees.
"This is not in accordance with scientific principles!" At Zhiyi's shout, the carriage flew out, "Newton, you are in charge!"
With this long and incessant wailing, the carriage finally drove safely on the road, but by this time, it was already daylight.
Zhiyi curled up behind the carriage, both hands tied to the wooden railing with ropes, "Woo, I'm most afraid of this, whether it's a roller coaster or bungee jumping, I'm afraid!"
"It's okay, open your eyes. The coachman said.
"You lied to me. Zhi Yi curled up in the corner and trembled.
"Lie to you, I'm a puppy, okay, come out and take a look, this is the beautiful scenery of Mingcheng. “
Seeing that the coachman said such a poisonous oath, Zhiyi dared to look at it, it was okay not to look at it, and he was startled when he saw it.
"Wow!" the voice was a compliment, "what's going on, we're crossing over?"
"Yes, it's crossed, but it's from night to day. The coachman was calm, as if all this was normal.
Zhiyi sat next to the coachman, "From night to day, that's why you said you want to go to bed early." ”
"Yes, time flies in the cave, like flowing water, that's why I have to travel at night. ”
"That's right, but what's the purpose of doing this?" Zhiyi looked at the blue sky and white clouds, as if the bump just now didn't exist.
The coachman took the reins and pointed to a forest, "You will arrive at Mingcheng through this forest, hmph, thanks to the Tiandi Cave, the journey of nearly two days and two nights has been shortened a lot." ”
"Yes, but although the journey is short, the journey is much more dangerous. He was still sighing, he almost fell off the carriage just now.
The coachman shook his head, "Haha, no, no, although this cave is steep, it is not the only road, there is also a road for travelers to walk, but even then it will take a day and a night." ”
"It's shortened, well, it seems that I misunderstood the Ninth True Son, which is a blessing. ”
Seeing that the woods were getting thinner and thinner, a high wall slowly appeared in Zhiyi's field of vision.
"It's here, when the capital city, Mingcheng!" the coachman watched, his eyes flashed, "Lord Han's carriage is going to rest in the capital for a morning now, and only go to the courtyard in the afternoon, what are your plans?"
Zhiyi watched the carriage slowly pass through the city gate under the high wall, and closed his breath, like a hillbilly entering the city.
"Wow, this is the capital of the dynasty, wow!" Zhiyi made a sound similar to "Wow, Oye" one after another, these quaint buildings and scenes that have never been visited before are so shocking, "Can I look around?"
Horse-drawn carriages slowly moved through the streets, pedestrians avoided them, and roadside vendors shouted one after another, so it was lively.
"Yes, but you can't run around, you have to know that the cruelty and dark side of this bright city is unimaginable. The coachman said, and then slowly followed the stagnation of the convoy and "called" the horse.
Zhiyi jumped out of the carriage and straightened the short clothes, "I'll go buy a decent shirt and take a look at this Mingcheng by the way." ”
"Go ahead, anyway, you'd better come back before the morning, I see that the sun is almost hanging in the center, and I don't think there is much time left." The coachman said, holding on to the reins.
"Yes, it won't take me long to buy a dress. Domineering took his small bag of luggage and set off to buy clothes.
The three money bags are all intact, and the amount of these money is enough for Zhiyi to live a prosperous life in the Hengshan Bodhisattva Temple for a year.
He walked out of the stable of the Mingcheng Post Station and came to the bustling Mingcheng Street through a narrow alleyway.
"Wow, this is the aura of the ancient capital in the costume drama, it's not too lively. He looked at the endless crowd and then at the street full of vendors, "I like this kind of crowded feeling, it's not too cool!"
Zhiyi walked down the street, looking at the stalls along the road.
In a short time, he walked out of a clothing house, and by this time he had changed into a matching dress with his name, blue and white patterned style, the hem looked vigorous, and the fist sleeves and trouser legs were properly elasticated.
"This black shop, knocked me half a bag of silver when I came down, it's really black. Zhiyi distressed and put the money bag with only half of the silver back in his pocket, "Ha, let's go back, it seems that this is not a place for poor people to consume....."
Zhiyi, who changed his outfit, looked much more pleasing to the eye, Zhiyi didn't say anything, just walking with a gust of wind.
At the corner of the street, around the corner, many people gathered in a pile, as if they were making some fun.
The curious Zhiyi also took a look, "What are you looking at again, crowding so many people." ”
