Chapter 24: Reminiscences of where they came from

East Mountain, surrounded by green hills, gurgling streams. Unlike the previous time, at this time, the mountain like a huge barrier was shrouded in a thick white mist, looming and ethereal like a dream.

Under the leadership of Li Zhifeng, Shan Zhuokun and Yu Chi Baolin were climbing up the rugged mountain trail with difficulty, and the craggy rocks on the left and right sides kept flashing, and if one was not careful, their hands and faces would be bruised. Raising his head and looking up, the narrow line of heaven and earth seemed to divide the heaven and earth into two different parts, giving people a great sense of shock. None of the three of them spoke to anyone, and their breathing became more and more rapid with the constant beating pace, and the dense sweat all over their bodies and their hearts beating violently like small drums in their clothes also revealed their super exhaustion at the moment.

"You know what? My brother came here through a cave in the first place. ”

Suddenly, the three of them who were panting and sweating profusely found a smooth bluestone in a relatively gentle place and sat down, and took out the cakes and water bladders they carried with them to replenish their strength, Shan Zhuokun said in a relaxed tone while staring ahead. His voice was a little slurred due to the stuff of food in his mouth.

"Caves?" Yu Chi Baolin and Li Zhifeng glanced at each other in surprise and said in unison.

"That's right." Shan Zhuokun nodded, because the cake was very dry, he picked up the water bladder beside him, and after taking a big sip of water, he was about to continue, "If it is placed in our era, my brother will be crossed." ”

That's right, to this day, Shan Zhuokun still feels very untrue every time he thinks about it. Since it was his birthday on the day he entered the tomb, he also agreed with a few buddies through WeChat group message the night before that when he came back, everyone would go to the bar to drink together and have a good get-together. Who knows, this has become an unattainable wish.

Alas, when will I be able to go back? Although the master said that it was a very memorable trip, he did not tell himself the specific date of the end, which also made Shan Zhuokun, as the person concerned, extremely uncertain. Every time he woke up from a dream, he would silently ask himself in his heart, when is the return date? A month, a year, or ...... Lifetime!

Speaking of which, this experience is really exciting, just like a person who has never bought a lottery ticket, but one day inexplicably received a grand prize from the sky, in a heartbeat at the same time, but also accompanied by a huge sense of confusion.

"Do you remember where that cave is?" Li Zhifeng looked at Shan Zhuokun in amazement and asked curiously.

According to her understanding, every family has a door, so as long as she can find the door that brought Shan Zhuokun here, she will naturally be able to go back.

Shan Zhuokun squinted his eyes slightly and fell into the memory, and as his mind gradually became active, the hazy scene in front of him became clearer and clearer.

On that day, Shan Zhuokun was supposed to go down to the ancient tomb with his master Yuan Lintao according to the agreement, but because the other party had something to do temporarily, and he couldn't miss the best time calculated in advance, he could only go down to the ancient tomb through the safety rope first.

After entering the tomb, Shan Zhuokun first looked at the map prepared in advance by the faint light of the flashlight, according to the above, this should be the royal tomb of the early Tang Dynasty. Since it has not been developed before, it is believed that the layout is still in the same layout as it was a thousand years ago. This tomb is very large, divided into two floors, four burial chambers in the east, west, north and south, and Shan Zhuokun is going to the main tomb in the east.

After using the compass to make a clear positioning, Shan Zhuokun put the map in his backpack, and with the faint light source of the flashlight, he was engrossed in touching forward.

The tomb is typically a 'ding' shape, with a wide passage at the beginning and a narrower passage as you go inside. When he reached the middle, facing the narrow hole surrounded by protruding strange stones, Shan Zhuokun had to grit his teeth and lie on the ground, use his limbs as support points, and enter the cave by crawling.

The cave was a different story, and although the air here was extremely thin due to its strict isolation from the outside world, it was only a few steps forward that made me feel dizzy. But the space inside was very large, enough for Shan Zhuokun to stand up straight and return to his normal state.

Because it was pitch black inside, the sound of ticking water filled his eardrums, invisibly adding a kind of life power. And the slippery feet remind him in a special way that he is still living in this world.

Shan Zhuokun was still using the flashlight to illuminate the road in front of him weakly, and a heavy and quaint stone gate suddenly appeared in the place where the light pillar was projected in the haze.

"Stone Gate?" Shan Zhuokun's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said to himself, "If you guess correctly, this should be the main tomb." ”

He quickly came to the stone gate, and by the light source, he saw a portrait of an official wearing a black veil and wearing a Tang Dynasty official uniform hanging on the door. The person in the painting looks extremely handsome, and if he is put in modern times, he is definitely a sunny handsome guy.

Wait, it seems that something is not quite right.

Shan Zhuokun stared at the portrait with suspicious eyes for a moment, and suddenly, he quickly touched his face with his hand, and said in surprise:

"Why does this man look so much like my brother? Could it be my brother's previous life? ”

The man in the painting did not answer, but just looked at him quietly. After can't help but get closer, Shan Zhuokun saw that there was a line of brush handwriting next to the portrait. This line of writing is written in italics, which is extremely vigorous and powerful, which shows that the writer is quite skilled in calligraphy.

Shan Zhuokun stared at the handwriting with both eyes, and read word by word: "Twenty-five ministers of Lingyan Pavilion." ”

Well.....? No, didn't the history books say that after Tang Taizong Li Shimin realized the rule of Zhenguan, he specially built the Lingyan Pavilion in order to commend the heroes, and hung the portraits of the most important twenty-four people? How could the portrait of the twenty-fifth man suddenly appear? Could it be that the later history books made a mistake? What is the truth behind this?

The more Shan Zhuokun thought about it, the more confused his heart became, as if he had some kind of invisible connection with this matter, and he couldn't help but be deeply attracted by this strong mysterious power.

In order to calm himself down as soon as possible, Shan Zhuokun decided to go to the tomb through the stone gate. However, at the moment when the stone door was slowly opened, a dazzling white light suddenly seeped in through the crack in the door, shooting straight into his eyes. With a frightened scream, Shan Zhuokun suddenly fell to the ground and fell into a coma.

"Dengzi, you haven't answered my question yet." Li Zhifeng waited for a long time, but saw that Shan Zhuokun was just looking ahead, and he was even more stunned.

Shan Zhuokun shook his head, trying to sober himself up. However, he did not directly answer Li Zhifeng's question, but said with a smile:

"How can I remember all this time? We're almost done, and it's time for us to go. ”

After speaking, Shan Zhuokun stood up and walked straight forward. Li Zhifeng and Yu Chi Baolin glanced at each other, stood up back and forth, and continued to walk after him.

After a rush of one foot deep and one foot shallow, the three of them finally stopped in front of an unknown cave.

"Look, this is it." Li Zhifeng pointed to the cave and said, "I'm sure those who were arrested are all locked up here, but the strange thing is that I can't find the location of the cave entrance. ”

Shan Zhuokun and Yu Chi Baolin both raised their heads and carefully looked at the cave wall. I saw that this place was completely integrated with the mountain, and the mountain wall was covered with green vines and weeds, and there was no place for the cave gate at all.

"This ......," Wei Chi Baolin looked at Xu Xuan and said in surprise, "This place is indeed very strange." Immortals, look ......"

"A hole in a hole." Shan Zhuokun didn't look at Yu Chi Baolin, who was already looking sideways at him, but just stared at the cave wall and said.

Yu Chi Baolin and Li Zhifeng glanced at each other, their eyes full of doubts.

"Shangxian, what is a hole in a cave?"

Shan Zhuokun smiled sideways and glanced at Yu Chi Baolin and Li Zhifeng, who were standing on his left and right sides, and slowly walked forward to the vicinity of the mountain wall, and after reaching out and touching the rock hanging overhead, a determined look appeared on his face:

"That's right, it's a hole within a hole."

Speaking of this, he turned around and looked at the two behind him calmly: "Every cave must have its own door. And the cave in the cave is no exception, but the demon cultivated in it has become the climate, and the demon method is used to create a layer of enchantment in front of the cave wall, hiding the original cave door behind the enchantment. Ordinary people don't have such a profound Taoism, so they can't see it. ”

When Li Zhifeng heard this, he suddenly realized: "Oh, no wonder I didn't find the entrance to the cave after searching for a long time, but it turned out to be like this." Dengzi, do we have a way to get in? ”

A confident smile appeared on Shan Zhuokun's lips, he slowly walked to the position where he was standing just now, and said half-jokingly:

"Don't worry, my brother is a professional warlock and a senior talent, what kind of situation has you never encountered? How could such a trivial matter stump me? You two take a good look, my brother is going to start performing now. ”

After speaking, Shan Zhuokun took out the green bone sword hanging from his waist, closed his eyes tightly and silently recited the magician's mental method in his heart. Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, and with a loud shout, he 'got up'. The Blue Bone Sword suddenly came out of his hand and slammed into the thick rock of the stone wall with great force. After an earth-shattering sound, the rocks fell from a height and tumbled to the ground in an irregular state, and a cyan stone door appeared in front of the three of them.

"This ......" Yu Chi Baolin looked at Shimen dumbfounded, and only after a while did he come to his senses, looking at Shan Zhuokun's eyes full of admiration, "Shangxian's skills are really extraordinary, and Yu Chi Baolin admires it very much." ”

Shan Zhuokun laughed loudly, and then said to the two: "General Wei Chi, Miss Zhifeng, please." ”

With that, the three of them walked into the cave, and the door was slowly closed behind them.
