Chapter 169: Searching for Medicine 4
"Hum Hum ......Hum Hum T
As soon as Little White Fang finished eating the piece of jerky that Ding Ke'er fed him, he stretched out his long pink tongue and licked the little minced meat left at the corner of his mouth, and his two bright eyes looked at Ding Ke'er with a blank look, as if he wanted to eat another piece of jerky.
Ding Ke'er smiled, took out a piece of jerky from the baggage and put it to Xiao Baiya's mouth, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that this little guy hasn't eaten for a long time, so pitiful." ”
Long Chao wiped the wolf blood on his dark iron heavy sword, and said with some displeasure: "Sister-in-law, what is there to pity this little wolf, if we pity it, now it will not eat jerky, then it must be us who eats." ”
Le Wen smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's go back to the grass pavilion first." ”
Lewen was afraid that White Fang would see the wolf corpses on the ground, so he covered his eyes with his hands all the way, and returned to the grass pavilion to find that the bonfire that had been raised had been burned out, and only a few sparks remained.
When Long Chao walked into the woods just now, the torches he lit had not yet burned out, so he picked up some dry firewood, and after lighting them with torches, several people sat around the bonfire again.
"Ding Ke'er, since you have studied the third uncle's I Ching gossip, then it's up to you below." Lewen put the white fang beside him, picked up a branch and picked it on the bonfire a few times, the spark in the bonfire rose slightly, he glanced at Ding Ke'er, and then said with a smile.
"Okay, then the woman will show you both hands."
Ding Ke'er said as she took out a feng shui compass from her baggage, holding the outer disc with both hands left and right, and her feet slightly apart. Place the compass in a position between the chest and abdomen, keeping the compass horizontal. Then sit with her back to her and face her in the direction. Start the orientation.
At this time, the four positive positions of the cross-fish-silk grass pavilion on the compass coincide with the front, back, left, and right, and after fixing the position of the cross-fish-silk, she used the thumbs of both hands to move the inner disk, and when the inner disk rotated, Tianchi rotated with it.
Ding Ke'er looked down at the compass in her hand, and when the inner disc rotated to the point where the magnetic needle came to a standstill, overlapping with the red line in the Tianchi, she slowly raised her head and looked due east again. Said thoughtfully: "Due East, Lihuo, Meridian, Maoyou, Four Positive Directions, Kun Er, Lijiu, Xun Four." ”
"What? Ding Ke'er, what do you mean? ”
Lewen looked at the compass in Ding Ke'er's hand, but he couldn't understand it at all, what Ding Ke'er said, he only understood Zhengdong, and the others couldn't understand either.
Ding Ke'er saw that Le Wen looked at the compass in her hand like a fool and only blinked, she raised her willow eyebrows slightly, and said with a smug smile: "Fifty zhang to the east, the front case mountain." Back against the mountain, the left green dragon, the right white tiger, Zhongmingtang. The dragon and phoenix yin and yang are entwined with each other, surrounded by mountains behind them, and the water follows the mountains. The imperial spirit gathers here for thousands of years without dispersing, and it is a rare imperial treasure. ”
"Fifty feet to the east? Is it near the ancient temple in front of you? ”
Lewen heard it so close. Through the light of the bright moon in the sky, the shadow of an ancient temple in Panlonggang can be seen from a distance here. He put the white tooth into the basket where the dry food was stored, put the dry food in the baggage, and everyone rode towards the direction of the ancient temple of Panlonggang.
The road was too quiet, the original sound of the wind and the sound of crickets seemed to have disappeared, only a few bird whimpering sounds diffused from time to time in the empty air with the smell of blood, which seemed to be the last struggle of life, and seemed to be a cry for help before death.
I don't know when the dark clouds appeared to cover the bright moon in the sky, as if it was in the final brewing, the whole land was shrouded in darkness, and the original teeth and claws of the woods were also soaked in a dead light, looking so depressed and powerless.
In the night sky, a ray of light shot through the dense dead branches and leaves of the trees, reflected in the pupils of an owl, and then the dark clouds gradually began to withdraw from the sky, little by little, the moon appeared to be worrying, and the moon somehow turned red, red with blood.
Lewen and several people rode to the ruined temple, and found that this ancient temple was the size of two football fields, dilapidated, and seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, there were many strange trees growing around the ancient temple, which seemed to be thousands of years old, rattan and tree roots had wrapped a corner of the ancient temple, the wooden gate had no color, it was covered with moss, and there was a big circular spider web hanging on the door, and a black spider crawled back and forth on it.
"Huh? How can this be......"
Ding Ke'er took out the compass and looked at it again, and found that the place where the dragon qi gathered was under this ancient temple, which felt a little strange.
"Aiming ......"
Suddenly, a wild cat with a broken leg quickly scurried down from a withered branch, although the wild cat had a broken leg, but its speed was as fast as lightning, limping past Lewen and the others, jumping to the temple wall in the blink of an eye, and then looked at the little white fang in the basket with its breathtaking eyes, as if provocative, as if teasing, and then jumped down as soon as he turned around.
"Hum Hum ......Hum Hum T
Lewen put the basket for the white fang on the horse's back, and the little white tooth seemed to feel the danger, his body trembled slightly, and he hummed again.
The night was thick, and the white banyan tree, which was as rotten as white bones, was beheaded, and the paper money hanging on the branches was blown down by the wind and fell on Long Chao's masked black face.
Long Chao didn't care about grabbing the paper money that fell on his face, and threw it away casually.
"Ding Ke'er, what's wrong with you?" Lewen looked at Ding Ke'er and kept looking at the dilapidated temple in front of him, with a strange look in his eyes, and asked puzzledly.
"No, it's okay, for some reason, the imperial dragon's qi is actually under this ancient temple." Ding Ke'er used the compass in his hand to check it several times, and found that the qi of the imperial dragon was indeed under this temple, and said with some doubts.
"Whatever, let's go in and have a look!"
"Puff ......"
"Ahem......"
Long Chao kicked the gate of the ancient temple open as soon as he spoke, and at the same time as the gate was kicked open, a dust and a foul smell came to his face, choking Ding Ke'er covered his mouth and lowered his head and coughed a few times.
"I don't know how many years no one has been here in this broken temple, why is there so much dust." Long Chao squinted his eyes slightly and shook his hand in front of him. I want to dissipate the unpleasant smell.
He drew the Darkiron Sword in his hand and swung it casually at the weeds in the threshold that were more than half a man tall. Then he took the torch in one hand and the dark iron heavy sword in the other and walked inside. Several people behind him also walked in.
It's strange that not long after Lewen and the others walked in, the unpleasant smell just now seemed to disappear.
They walked around the ancient temple for a while, and they were dizzy, but they didn't see any signs of the ancient tomb at all, but they saw the door panel of the main hall that was sealed by layers of wooden strips, as if it was sealed and airtight, I don't know why the wooden door of the main hall was sealed, Lewen felt a little strange.
"This main hall is sealed with layers of wooden strips. Could it be that there is an ulterior secret in it? Lewen looked at the wooden door sealed by wooden bars and said noncommittally.
"What's it to be sealed with a wooden bar, let me cut him open." Long Chao said and raised the Xuantie heavy sword in his hand to slash.
"Bell...... Bell"
However, the Xuantie heavy sword in his hand only cut a crack in the wooden strip, and it was not directly cut off, which made several people a little dumbfounded.
You must know that the Xuantie heavy sword in Long Chao's hand is not made of ordinary steel, it is a thousand-year-old Xuantie, and the wooden strips on the door panel are constantly chopped, could it be that this wooden strip is an unusual thing?
Lewen took out the black gold sword on his back and helped to cut it. The two of them cut the wooden strips sealed on the door panel for a while before finally cutting off these wooden strips, but the wooden door was not damaged at all, which is really strange.
When Lewen pushed open the door of the main hall in the temple. Then there is a faint fragrance that reaches the nose, this fragrance is very strange, a bit like the fragrance of peony flowers. It's a bit like the musk on an animal.
"It's really strange that the peony flower is far away in Luoyang, how can there be a peony flower fragrance here." Ding Ke'er asked a little strangely.
"I don't know. However, it is best to cover your mouth and nose with a strip of cloth, and it is better to smell less of this strange smell. ”
But he finished speaking. The aroma also disappeared suddenly, as if the fragrance that remained in the main hall was emitted by Lewen and the others when they opened the door, and it dissipated after opening the door.
"Huh? What is it? ”
"Tom......!"
“…… Yes......! ”
"Long Chao! ……”
Long Chao saw something that looked like a dragon's head and a bit like a horse's head, he moved it with some curiosity, but he only felt that the soles of his feet were empty, and he fell down all of a sudden.
Originally, a few people thought that Long Chao had moved some mechanism, and they were shocked into a cold sweat, but when they looked over, it was just a deep pit more than one person high, and there was a steep staircase under the pit, Long Chao fell down the stairs, picked up the torch with one hand, and rubbed his ass with the other hand and scolded twice.
"Damn, I thought this was going to be the end......"
"Whoever told you to move, stand still and wait for us to go down." As he spoke, Lewen jumped down with a few others and walked down the stairs.
Le Wen and the others walked to Long Chao's side, and walked down the stairs together, but the fire in Long Chao's hand could only shine on a small area under his feet.
"What's the matter, just now the torch can still illuminate a large area, but now how can it only shine on this small area under your feet?" Long Chao stopped, knocked on the stairs under his feet with his Xuantie heavy sword, and said strangely.
Le Wen felt that this staircase was a little strange just now, but now that he was prompted by Long Chao, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and said in his heart: "Could it be that the wall of this staircase has a light-absorbing effect?" But this ancient temple is thousands of years old, how can there be such a thing? ”
"Brother, what are you thinking?" Long Chao turned his head to look at the thoughtful Lewen and asked suspiciously.
"It's nothing, this wall is made of absorbent material, so the fire is absorbed." Lewen said what might have come to mind.
"What? Will the walls absorb light? Long Chao was a little disbelieving and used the Xuantie heavy sword in his hand to knock on the wall next to him a few times, but the Xuantie heavy sword knocked on the wall, as if it was knocked on an iron plate, and the bell rattled.
"Alright, don't knock, let's move on."
The sound of "bells and ......" knocking on the wall, ringing back and forth in the corridor, and the piercing echoes are endless, making people uneasy.
"Oh, what is this?"
Sirou seemed to have stepped on something, slipped on the sole of her foot, she bent down a little strangely and picked up the thing she had just stepped on, "Ah......" sound, she hurriedly took a step back and threw the thing in her hand on Long Chao's head.
Long Chao put down the Xuantie heavy sword in his hand, stretched out his hand and grabbed it, it turned out to be a white bone, and at first glance it was a human bone, he thought it was something, and he was startled by Sirou, it turned out to be a human bone, he laughed and threw it away.
The white bone rolled down the stairs, and after a moment it was silent.
"Listening to the sound, it seems that you can go down for a while to get to the end, if you really can't go back, just go out from the entrance just now."
Lewen made up his mind, originally they came in to see where they could get to the bottom of here, if it was a dead end, it would be okay to go out again, it was nothing at all.
But they walked down the stairs, but they couldn't reach the end, which made Lewen a little confused, he scratched his head, turned around and said, "It seems that this staircase is a little weird, let's go back." ”
A few people also felt incredible, if they continued like this, they would have to starve to death if they didn't get tired to death, so they should go back.
Something that made Lewen and the others even more depressed appeared, they walked back according to the path they had just taken, but they couldn't get to the entrance they had just entered.
"Lewen, are we lost?" At this time, Ding Ke'er also lit the unlit torch that she had brought with her when she entered the ancient temple just now, and then asked with some concern.
"No, is this the legendary Soul Ladder?" Lewen also lit a torch, and saw a very strange symbol carved on the wall, which seemed to be a totem of a wolf, and he was slightly stunned when he saw this totem.
At this time, Lewen seemed to think of a very strange ladder mentioned in a foreign magazine he once saw, that is, a quadrangular staircase with four 90° corners in the form of two-dimensional graphics, because it is a continuous closed loop diagram that never rises or falls, four stairs, the four corners are connected, but each staircase is upward, so it can be infinitely extended and developed, and it is a staircase that needs to be seen at a certain angle in the three-dimensional world.
This design principle has been lost for thousands of years, and many mathematicians and scientists are obsessed with it, some believe that it is a digital hypnosis method, deliberately leaving a mark or numerical information to confuse the walker, while mathematicians believe that it is a complex digital model, in which it looks like there is only one staircase, but in fact it leads in all directions.
But how to get out made Lewen a little difficult. (To be continued.) )
