There is death in life, there is life in death, and it is impossible to design such a majestic formation with such great effort just to let people die in this small deep pool.

It's not that you can't die, but that death is too simple, no creativity, and no beauty, Xu You lives with himself, if he comes to set up a formation, but let everything come to an abrupt end here, it will inevitably be intentional and unfinished!

So, there must be an exit here, it's just that they haven't found it yet.

Qingming went into the water again, but still found nothing. Time passed quickly, the person's body temperature was quietly sucked away by the cold water, no one knew how long Xu You could last, he bit the root of his tongue, the sharp stinging pain kept the brain functioning normally, and suddenly said: "Qingming, you are proficient in easy counting, can you take a hexagram and take a look?" ”

"Good!"

Qingming answered, bent his fingers and pinched a strange handprint, and then moved lightly in the water, the calm water surface rippled slightly, and the whirlpool that appeared seemed to imply some kind of mysterious truth between heaven and earth, which could only be understood, not spoken.

Xu You could feel his movements, and said with a smile: "All things in heaven and earth are full of hexagrams, but it is very rare to make a hexagram like you...... How, what's the hexagram? ”

"*Tun, the hexagram of the dragon dwelling in shallow water, the image of the beginning of all things!"

Xu You's expression was greatly invigorated, and he said: "Tun hexagram, up and down." The hurdle is rain, which is dangerous; The earthquake is thunder, and the metaphor is moving. * Tun, it is the time when thunderstorms and dangers are numerous, but as long as you are brave and resolute, you can get through without hindrance. This is the image of the solution after the first difficulty, and it is good luck! ”

The hexagram gave the two of them great confidence, and many times, when they were in a desperate situation, what they were most afraid of was not the desperate situation itself, but the loss of the desire to survive and the belief that they could survive. * The Tun hexagram may not be so mysterious, but at this moment, it is the light that ignites life.

"If you look carefully, the empty door in the water is different from the flat ground, and the sound may be thicker. Also, this pool has no rancid smell, it should not be stagnant water, there must be a place to bring in living water......"

Qingming dived three more times, groped around the mountain wall several times, and finally found a secret door on the north side of the water. I don't know how thick this secret door is, and if I didn't feel the ripples of the water seeping out of the cracks in the wall, I wouldn't have been able to hear the flaw just by hitting it.

Finding the secret door is the first step, but the mechanism to open the secret door is more difficult to find than the secret door itself, and then Xu You had an idea, so that Qingming moved away from the stone at the bottom of the pool, and found a huge iron rudder not far from the secret door, and the iron chain with the thickness of the wrist was coiled into many circles, not surprisingly, this should be the key to open the secret door.

"Lang Jun, I tried, there is no other way but to turn the rudder by brute force."

Xu You nodded and said: "All the things before, I tested my wisdom, talent, courage and determination, and now I naturally have to test the force, in the final analysis, one force can reduce ten times......"

Five zhang, more than ten meters of water depth, the weight of the water alone is terrible, plus the iron rudder is useless all year round, rust and its own resistance and the quality of the secret door, it is impossible for someone to turn a minute.

Fortunately, Qingming has come to the mountain gate of Wupin, and everything can be achieved by breaking the law with force.

He dived underwater, and after ten breaths, the harsh noise of iron cables and stones rubbing sounded, and the north side of the bottom of the pool slowly opened a half-person-high exit, and tons of pool water surged out, and the powerful momentum made it impossible to maintain balance at all, Qingming hugged Xu You with one hand, grasped Yin Changsheng with the other, curled up in a ball, protected the head and chest from bumping, and rushed out from the outlet with the rolling of the water.

As soon as they arrived outside, they heard the sound of thunderous water in their ears, and before they could react, the three of them fell seven feet in the air and fell into the dark river that rushed deep underground.

The power of nature can not resist, this dark river is very turbulent at a 30-degree angle of inclination, Qingming tried his best to barely maintain the three of them together, not to be scattered by the rapids, in such a place, the deep heaven and earth do not see the sun and the moon, once separated, I am afraid that there will be no time to see each other.

I don't know how long it took, maybe dozens of breaths, maybe only a moment, and the dark river came to a bend of about one hundred and twenty degrees. Qingming arched his back and took the almost fatal impact with his flesh and blood, and in the muffled snort, blood flowed from his lips, and then he entered a relatively gentle river, which gave him a chance to breathe.

"Lang Jun, how are you?"

After so many tosses, Xu You's body was extremely weak, and he reluctantly smiled: "It's okay, I can't die...... What about Yin Changsheng? ”

"He's alive, but he's badly injured and won't last long!" Qingming's tone was still so plain and calm, and said: "I don't know where this dark river leads, does Lang Jun have a countermeasure?" ”

"Don't forget your trigram, if you are lucky, you will prosper. My countermeasure is to go with the flow and wait until Shengmen shows up! ”

"What does Lang Jun mean?"

"Again, although the formation in this Qingming Cave is extremely dangerous, there will be a door to life in every desperate place, as long as we can catch it, we will be safe and sound."

But in the middle of the river, he can't see his five fingers, and he can't even stop his body, so how can he find the extremely hidden door?

Da Luo Jinxian can't do it......

"Lang Jun, look!" Qingming suddenly shouted loudly.

Xu You looked up and saw two faint lights, and the closer he got, the brighter the light became. Looking at it closely, it turned out that it was not a lamp, but the same hanging beads on the two bridges in front of the Heavenly Master Palace, which were bigger, rounder, and brighter than those broken and small hanging beads!

These two hanging beads are inlaid on the left and right double horns of a huge dragon head, the dragon head is cast in copper, vivid, majestic, looking down on all beings, giving the people who have gone through the calamity waves with an incomparably shocking sense of oppression.

"Qingming, this is it!"

As soon as the words fell, the belt was thrown out and tied to the dragon's horns, and Qingming came out of the water, carrying Xu You and Yin Changsheng firmly on the dragon's head.

"Ahem...... Cough! ”

Xu You retched a few times, spit out a few mouthfuls of river water, his expression was sluggish, but his spirit was more excited, with the light of the hanging beads, he reached out and touched the surroundings, and said: "This is Jiao, not a dragon ......"

There are many different records of Jiaolong in ancient books, some say that it has horns, and some say that it has no horns. However, Jiao is a dragon genus, horns are more in line with people's imagination, its horns are different from dragon horns, straight and short, no forks, dragon horns are more like antlers.

Qingming agreed with Xu You's opinion and said, "This should be Jiaomu Jiao, the first Jiaosu in the Canglong Seven Houses!" ”

"Yes, there should be twenty-eight constellations on the twenty-four solar terms, and Qingming is diagonally opposite!" Xu You sat against the horns of the dragon and said: "The Heavenly Master Dao divides the world into twenty-four rules, the lower should be the solar terms, and the upper should be the stars, and the big formation of the twenty-four holes in the Heming Mountain is related to the twenty-four solar terms, naturally, there are also traces of the twenty-eight stars!" ”

He stood up, looked down from Jiaolong's mouth, could vaguely feel the flow of the wind, and said with a smile: "Let's go, the birth gate is so easy, it must have reached the end of this trip!" ”

At the moment, Qingming was carrying Yin Changsheng, first bent down and climbed into the dragon's mouth, Xu You followed behind, crawling forward, about half a pillar of incense time, finally arrived at the exit, Qingming drilled out first, Xu You followed, and then completely stayed in place.

They stand on a prominent stone platform in mid-air, behind them is exactly the same as the outside of the horned wood Jiao bronze cast beast head, but in front of them is an incomparably huge dome-shaped space, more than 30 zhang high, dozens of zhang wide, more than a dozen stone pillars of three people hugging each other support the top of the cave, the mountain wall is inlaid with countless fluorite, purple red, emerald green and light blue, full of colors, flashing glass luster, reflecting the water light, illuminating this space like a fairyland.

In the middle of the bottom, a deep stream of water surrounds a high platform, on which is a well, the outcrop of bluestone, which is stained with green algae, not unlike the wells used in ordinary villages and towns.

Next to the wellhead, there is an ancient sword with a quiet body and a luster like jade, with a five-section chain handle, and there are hidden runes, stars, sun and moon.

"This ...... Is it to quit the ghost well? Xu You involuntarily took a step forward, almost in disbelief what he saw, and said, "Three or five slashing evil female swords? ”

Qingming was also greatly dispatched, his voice trembled slightly, and said: "Legend has it that the ghost well is under the Heavenly Master Palace, could it be that this is the lonely peak where the Heavenly Master Palace is located?" ”

"We entered the cave from the cliff on the edge of the flat dam, and after many descent and crossing, we passed through the dark river to the bottom of the mountain and the place where the lonely peak was connected...... So you guessed it right, on our heads, it should be the Heavenly Master Palace! Xu You pointed to the surrounding mountain wall in the air, and said: "You see, from our side, there are Kang Jinlong, Di Tu Raccoon, Fang Ri Rabbit, Xinyue Fox, Tailed Fire Tiger, and Jishui Leopard, which is the bronze beast head of Canglong Qisu, located in the east; Look at the opposite side, Kui Wood Wolf, Lou Jin Dog, Stomach Pheasant, Pleiades Chicken, Bi Yuewu, Fire Monkey, Ginseng Ape, this is the White Tiger Seven Nights, located in the west; Then there are the Seven Nights of the Vermilion Bird, the Jingmu Rhino, the Ghost Golden Sheep, the Liutu Deer, the Xingri Horse, the Zhang Yuelu, the Winged Fire Snake, and the Water Worm, which are located in the south; Xuanwu Qisu, Doumu Hedgehog, Ox Taurus, Female Earth Bat, Void Sun Mouse, Weiyue Swallow, Room Fire Pig, Wall Water Pig, located in the north! ”

"In other words, the last entrance of the Qingming Cave is the bronze beast head of the horned wooden Jiao of Fang Cai, and the other caves also come in from their respective star beast heads?"

"Yes, in addition to the four holes of the stunning, mangzhong, cold dew, and Xiaoxue, they correspond to two constellations, and the other holes have one solar term, corresponding to one constellation, and the avenues are the same, no matter which hole you come in, the final destination is here - the ghost well!"

Qingming went to look again, and sure enough, there were two cast bronze beast heads at the entrance of the Mangzhong Cave, which were the Xinyue Fox corresponding to the Heart Shrine and the Tailed Fire Tiger corresponding to the Tail Residence.

If it weren't for the fact that fate had come to this point, who would have thought that the existence of the twenty-four caves known as the Ketong Immortal Mansion would actually be to protect the legendary ghost well that could ban ten thousand ghosts?

Heavenly Master Dao, what a big stroke, such a big spirit!
