Chapter 8 Panyuntai and the Beggar's Cave
"Brother Nangong, I have good wine and meat in my bag, come, have a drink!"
"Actually, I don't like the name Nangong Yu, it's just that my mother doesn't allow me to change my name and surname, when I was in Luolong City, my brother was called Big Beggar, I was called Little Beggar, I really like the name Little Beggar, you just call me Little Beggar." ”
Baili Zixuan hesitated slightly, and then said, "Little beggar...... Well...... It's a very down-to-earth name, relatives and friends often call me Xuanzi, you can also call me Xuanzi!"
Baili Zixuan took out wine and meat, the two sat cross-legged by the stream, and Xuanzi and the little beggar touched a glass!
"It's delicious, I've never eaten such good wine and meat, it's better than the wine and meat that my brother stole back from other people's wedding banquets when I was a child, I remember that time my brother was reluctant to eat it for me, and now I really regret that I was so greedy at that time and didn't give my brother a taste, because I stole other people's wine and meat, and my brother was beaten later!" Nangong Yu said, his eyes were gloomy, and he poured a big sip of wine.
"Where's your brother?" Baili Zixuan handed Nangong Yu a piece of sauced beef.
"I died, I was bitten to death by this poisonous snake today, and my brother was bitten to death by this poison to protect me. Nangong Yu gulped and drank the remaining wine in the pot.
"Drink!" Baili Zixuan took out another pot of wine and threw it to Nangong Yu.
Baili Zixuan couldn't help but feel a burst of pity in his heart, such a deeply affectionate brother, one died in order to save the other, and the one left behind must be living in self-blame, what a sad thing! He suddenly remembered that he had never met his brother, Baili Zixuan also had an elder brother, he was abducted when he was very young, he was not born at that time, these years, his father often went out to run business, on the one hand, he was doing business, on the other hand, he also had the intention of secretly checking his brother's whereabouts, but unfortunately there was no news of him for many years, and he didn't know if his brother was still in the world.
Bless my brother to be safe and alive! Baili Zixuan prayed silently.
"Xuanzi, didn't you ask me if there were people living in this mountain before, I, like you, am also an outsider, when I was a child, I and my brother inadvertently groped here, there is a cave in this mountain, warm in winter and cool in summer, we have no home in Luolong City, the streets, the wilderness, and the broken temple are our homes, after discovering this cave in the mountain, my brother and I often come here, for us, this is our best home. I'll show you later!"
Nangong Yu took a sip of wine and said: "Xuanzi, you should be a rich child, is it a big family in Luolong City?" This Yungen Mountain is a forbidden land, there are many fierce beasts and poisonous insects in the mountain, no one dares to come in, my brother and I didn't know the danger when we were young because no one cared about it and no one asked, you are really bold, you are not afraid of danger when you venture here?"
"I'm not from Luolong City, my family is in Foye Town, far to the west, and my father is a wealthy merchant in the town, so he can be regarded as a son of a rich family. Hehe, I like to explore and hunt by nature, begging my father to promise to run out, I came here for a purpose, to find a place to create, I saw in an ancient book, this mountain is called Tongtian Peak, there is a Panyuntai in the south of this mountain, according to ancient records, here to gather heaven and earth aura, the cultivation of vitality is twice the result with half the effort. According to the route recorded in the Xuankun Atlas, I entered the mountain from Yungen Mountain in the south of Luolong City, and all the way to here, I was also scared, but curiosity still drove me here. ”
Nangong Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I don't know what the name of this mountain is, and I don't know what Panyuntai is, but there is a cave in this mountain, and there is a stone platform that protrudes outwards at the south exit of the cave. ”
Baili Zixuan was pleasantly surprised: "No wonder you are at your age, the vitality level is so high, it turns out that you have the help of a treasure." ”
"Xuanzi, you are about the same age as me, and the Yuan Body level is higher than me!" Nangong Yu glanced at him and said.
"Hehe, I have another reason for this, by the way, how did such a big mountain go to the south?"
"You don't have to go over the mountains, there are hidden roads. After speaking, Nangong Yu got up.
The two packed up, each carrying some packages and a small kitten, and walked towards Tongtian Peak Mountain.
The peak was very steep and overgrown with vegetation, and the two of them climbed up the mountain for about two or three miles, and then walked about four or five miles to the east. There is a big bluestone here, Nangong Yuyungong moved the stone, and below it is a hole of one meter thick, pitch black, I don't know the depth.
Nangong Yu signaled to follow him, and jumped down, and Baili Zixuan jumped down with the cat in his arms.
As soon as he jumped down, the big bluestone at the entrance of the cave seemed to have spirituality, and it was automatically covered again, and Baili Zixuan felt incredible.
The speed of the fall is getting faster and faster, about more than 2,000 meters down, Baili Zixuan felt that there was an invisible force on the bottom of his feet to support him, and then slowly fell to the bottom of the cave, Baili Zixuan was secretly surprised. He lit the torch and found that there was a stone cave of the same size connected to the south of the bottom of the cave, Bailizi Xuanxin Dao, starting from the cave under the big bluestone, plus the stone cave connected, the whole is estimated to be a tortuous dark passage in the mountain. You can see clearly in this cave, but the surrounding area of the cave is bare, and there is no lighting, which is very mysterious. The cave slopes upwards at about 50 degrees, straight and not bent, with no end in sight.
Baili Zixuan was puzzled, Nangong Yu smiled slightly, leaned down, and drilled into the cave, and there was an invisible magical force supporting him to fly towards the cave.
Baili Zixuan also followed, about 8,000 meters away, the stone cave became a straight direction to the south, the two of them were horizontal down, their heads were forward, and they flew more than 20 miles, this force disappeared, the two stopped, they could only lie on their stomachs, crawling forward, the front of the end of the stone cave became wide, and there was a stone gate in front. There are two handprints carved on the left and right sides of the door.
Nangong Yu said to Baili Zixuan: "You put your hands on the handprint and try it!"
Baili Zixuan put his hands together on the handprint, and Shimen did not react.
Nangong Yu smiled: "Look at me!" He put his hands on the handprint, and a white light appeared at the handprint, and then the stone door opened.
Baili Zixuan had an unbelievable expression on his face!
"When my brother and I stumbled into this place by mistake, my brother put his hand on the stone door and didn't open it, it seems that only I can open this stone door. Nangong Yu smiled slightly.
"You must have something to do with this stone gate. ”
"Perhaps. ”
After the stone door is opened, suddenly it is open, there is a cave in front, the hole is five or six meters high, the width is more than ten meters, the bottom of the hole is relatively flat, the top and both sides of the strange stones stand in a forest. Like the dark tunnel stone cave just now, there is no lighting in the cave, but it can be seen very clearly.
"This is the cave I told you about. "Nangong Yudao.
When the two entered the cave, the stone door closed automatically, and they walked forward along the cave for dozens of meters to reach the southern cave entrance, which originally led directly to the south of Tongtian Peak.
Below the entrance of the cave there is a square stone platform that protrudes outward.
"Yes, that's it, this is Pantiantai!" Baili Zixuan said excitedly.
The south side of Tongtian Peak is a huge pool, surrounded by mountains on all sides, it is the purple pool contained in the "Xuankun Atlas", the water of the pool is incomparably clear, slightly purple. Panyuntai is about 5,000 meters away from the water surface of the Purple Water Pool.
There are a few auspicious clouds below the Panyun platform, as if holding it in general! Standing on the platform, the mountains in front of you are continuous, the sea of clouds is rolling, the purple water pool below is steaming, the sky is vast above, the field of vision is high and majestic, giving people a feeling of relaxation and joy, just like a fairyland!
The south side of Tongtian Peak is extremely steep, as if it is cut vertically from top to bottom, almost into a plane, Panyuntai is like a square platform raised outward in the middle of this plane, Baili Zixuan secretly sighed, if it weren't for Nangong Yu to lead the way, even if he detoured to the south of the mountain, the surrounding area of this Panyuntai was so steep, and he couldn't go up to Panyuntai.
"Little beggar, how did you discover the authenticity that leads from the north of the mountain to here?" asked Baili Zixuan suspiciously.
"Once, my brother and I were playing on the mountain, accidentally fell on the big bluestone, my head was knocked on a big bag, I was crying there nose, my brother in order to coax me, said to be angry for me, a lesson to the big bluestone, and then the big bluestone was removed, the result was found that the hole, I want to go down to see, my brother is afraid of danger, do not let me go down, I begged but, he made a rattan tied to the entrance of the cave, he went down first, he just went down, the big bluestone automatically closed again, I was not strong enough to move, scared to cry there, after a while my brother came up, it turned out that the hole was about to land when there was a magical power to followWhen you come up, as long as you jump up, a force will naturally lift you up, and the big bluestone will automatically open the door, and later, the two of us will go all the way here. If we return to the north of the mountain from the secret path in this mountain now, the magical power that holds us will bring us back in the opposite direction, I don't know why, maybe the gods have cast a spell here, or the magical creation of heaven and earth. Nangong Yu recalled.
Baili Zixuan found that as long as the little beggar mentioned his brother, his habitually cold face became much warmer!
Baili Zixuan closed his eyes on the stage and meditated and practiced for a while, and it was really twice the result with half the effort.
"I practice on this platform on weekdays, rest in this cave, the stone tables, stone benches and stone beds inside are already there, and I also bring some broken pots and pots in it, sometimes I don't go out of the mountain for a long time, I just hunt some game in the mountains to eat. I don't have a home, this place is home to me, so I don't want people to bother me by knowing about this place, so when I see you, my first reaction is to beat you up and scare you away. Nangong Yu said very seriously.
"This is definitely your home, no one else can take it away, only you can open that stone gate, here must be heaven and earth for you, heaven and earth must build a cave for you, you must be a celestial, the stars are descending to earth!" Baili Zixuan gave a thumbs up.
"My brother also said that only I can open that stone gate, I must be a star, and I will definitely become a big man in the future. Nangong Yu looked up at the sky and said.
"Well, it must be, your brother should also be a star, you have to protect the star, and now he is back in the sky to protect you, watching you from the sky. ”
"Thank you!" Nangong Yu secretly soured his nose.
"Your home is good, the land of heaven and earth is much more magnificent than those mansion compounds! It's an honor to be a guest at the little beggar's house! I want to stay for a while, borrow your treasure land to increase my vitality, you can give more rent, don't drive me away, hehe!" Baili Zixuan said with a hippie face.
"You can stay as long as you want!"
"Thank you, little beggar, and I'll calculate the rent. Baili Zixuan said playfully.
"Count yourself in on the head!"
Then, Baili Zixuan was punched in the shoulder.
"By the way, little beggar, this cave doesn't have a name yet, you and your brother are called big and small beggars, and the cave was discovered by you, so call it the beggar's cave!
"Beggar's Cave...... Well...... What a name! In my eyes, it's nobler than any name!"
"Baili Zixuan has seen the second cave master of the beggar cave!" Baili Zixuan hugged his fist towards Nangong Yu seriously.
"You're welcome, Baili Gongzi, please come in!" Nangong Yu also returned the salute with a fist.
There was a burst of hearty laughter from inside the cave!
