Chapter 624: Secret Cave

readx;

Zuo Shaoyang thought that this Xianyun had been cultivating on the mountain with his master for several years, and he should be used to everything on the mountain, and he should not be overly attentive, so as not to say that he had any intentions, so he put the single knife beside her: "Okay, I'll go back, if you need help, you can come to me." www.biquge.info I took those two tigers with me, anyway, you don't kill people or eat meat, give it to me. ”

After that, Zuo Shaoyang didn't go back, came to the entrance of the cave, and carried the two tigers back to his cave.

He skinned the tiger skin, and the old nun's sword cut the tiger's head, but there was no injury on the body, so the two tiger skins were very intact. The tiger skin bed is very warm, although he is not afraid of the cold, but he does not reject a more comfortable bed, of course, the tiger skin bed is the best. The tiger meat of the two tigers is enough to eat for a while.

By the time I was done, it was already afternoon. Set up a stove and grill tiger meat. He's already very good at barbecuing now. When the condiments entered the mountain, Bai Zhihan prepared them for him.

Soon, the scent wafted out of the cave.

Zuo Shaoyang tore off a piece of meat and was about to send it to his mouth when he heard a rustling sound.

His ears were now very sensitive, and he could immediately distinguish the sound of the wind blowing in the treetops and the sound of animals walking by. However, the sound did not sound like a beast. It's like a human being.

Zuo Shaoyang's heart moved, put down the tiger meat, got out of the cave, and saw a pretty figure under the mountain slowly coming up the mountain. Sure enough, it was Xianyun.

Zuo Shaoyang did not go down to greet him, but sat on a stone in front of the cave and waited quietly.

Finally, Xianyun carried a bed on his back, a package on his back, and the ring knife on his back, panting and going up to the top of the mountain. She was dozens of steps away from Zuo Shaoyang, standing on a stone and looking around. She didn't know where Zuo Shaoyang's cave was, at this time, the sun had already set, and after a while, it would be dark. Xianyun was obviously a little anxious, but he didn't dare to shout loudly.

Zuo Shaoyang finally spoke: "Xianyun! ”

Xianyun's delicate body shook, and he almost fell off the big stone, his eyes followed the sound, and he saw Zuo Shaoyang who stood up from the stone: "Zuo Gongzi!" ”

Xianyun parted the thorny bushes and dwarf trees, and came to Zuo Shaoyang, his eyes were already swollen from crying, and there were tears on his face: "Zuo Gongzi, can you send me down the mountain?" ”

"Okay, where are you going?"

Xianyun was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and said: "I am an orphan, I have followed the master since I was a child, and now that the master is gone, I don't know where to go, if only I could find a temple to enter the temple to practice." ”

"That's fine, I can help you find a nunnery."

"Thank you so much!" A smile appeared on Xianyun's tearful face, "I don't even know how to thank you." ”

"You're welcome, you saved my life."

Xian Yunqiao blushed and said in a low voice: "No, you are so capable, you were just scaring me to play." ”

Zuo Shaoyang took her from the treetops to the tops, and she already understood that Zuo Shaoyang was very powerful, and the so-called cliff jumping must have been to amuse herself.

Zuo Shaoyang smiled, he didn't want to go down the mountain now, the last month was definitely the craziest time for the emperor to find himself, and the surname of the person who went down the mountain to show his feet was too big, so he said: "However, I have to cultivate for three months before I can go back, and now there is still a month, when I finish my cultivation, I will go down the mountain together, okay?" ”

Xianyun was stunned for a moment: "That ......, that ......"

Zuo Shaoyang knew what she was worried about, and said, "I have a cave here, you live in the cave, and I will build a grass hut to live outside." All right? Of course, if you're worried about what bad I'm going to do, then you should go back to your cave with Master and I'll call you in a month's time. ”

Xianyun hurriedly shook his head: "How can it be, Zuo Gongzi is a good person, and my master also said it." ”

"Oh? Did your master still say good things about me? ”

"Well, Master said that you are a righteous gentleman. Reliable. The last time you sent the food, after you left, Master still asked me to bring it in, saying that you have a good heart. ”

"Hehe, just rush this sentence, I'll help you, okay, since you're not worried, then you can live in a cave, I'll build a grass hut outside."

So ......, what's so embarrassing? Why don't I live in a grass hut and you live in a cave? ”

"Listen to me! I've been cultivating for many years, and I'm not afraid of the cold, but now it's very cold in winter, so it's warmer for you to live in a cave. You're in trouble when you're sick, I want to cultivate, I don't want to take care of a sick person! Zuo Shaoyang said half-jokingly.

A reluctant smile appeared at the corner of Xianyun's mouth, and he nodded: "Thank you, Big Brother Zuo!" - Can I call you big brother? ”

Zuo Shaoyang is already in his forties, and Xianyun is only in his teens, so he should be called uncle, but after Zuo Shaoyang practiced the Returning to Void and Vomiting Technique, he greatly delayed aging, so his appearance and body are almost the same as when he was in his twenties.

Zuo Shaoyang didn't bother to explain, seeing that she was quite pitiful, and it was okay to recognize a girl, so he smiled and said: "Okay, let's become brothers and sisters, it's more convenient to live together this way." I'll call you little sister in the future! ”

Xianyun was overjoyed, and said, "Little sister meets my brother!" ”

"Hehe, we will be brothers and sisters in the future, so we don't need to see each other."

"Hmm!" Xianyun smiled and nodded with tears in his eyes.

Zuo Shaoyang took out the single knife he brought, and immediately began to cut down trees to build a simple grass shed.

This grass shed is really simple enough, four brackets on all sides, the roof is horizontally on the top, and the thatch is tied, and even the four sides are not sealed, it is simply a gazebo.

The bed is even simpler, two straight branches are tied to the pillars, and the hammock is tied in the middle, and the hammock was prepared for him by Bai Zhihan.

Xianyun helped him build a grass shed, and when he saw that the four walls were empty, he hurriedly said, "Brother Zuo, what should I do with these four walls?" ”

"It's so empty, it's cool!"

"Huh? It's cold at night now, and it's going to snow! ”

"It's okay," Zuo Shaoyang said, when he was in the Western Regions, he had to go out to cultivate every year, and he also cultivated in the wild, with snow drifting, he was not afraid at all. It's much warmer here than in the Western Regions.

After arranging the grass hut, it was already completely dark. Fortunately, there was a fire in the cave, and the light could be seen, and the two sat around the campfire.

Xianyun is a monk, so naturally he does not eat tiger meat. So Zuo Shaoyang helped her bake two white flour buns.

Xianyun ate very little and barely spoke. I still cry from time to time. Zuo Shaoyang will not persuade, and he knows that the more he persuades this kind of thing, the more sad he becomes, so he can only let time slowly smooth out.

After eating, Zuo Shaoyang tied a firewood with firewood and used it to block the entrance of the cave for Xianyun. Then went to the hammock and slept.

On the fifth watch of the second day, Zuo Shaoyang practiced as usual, and finished at dawn. At this time, the cave firewood had been opened. Xianyun had already made breakfast, boiled a pot of porridge, and cooked the white flour buns, but she didn't move the venison.

Zuo Shaoyang lit a fire in the open space not far from the cave, and then roasted the tiger to eat. In this way, stay away from it, so as not to smoke the monks.

Xianyun washed the dishes after eating, cleaned up the cave, and then went with Zuo Shaoyang to collect firewood and mushrooms. Seeing the prey, Zuo Shaoyang was going to fight, but seeing the unbearable look in Xianyun's eyes, he didn't fight after receiving the bow and arrows. Just fast.

The rest of the time, Xianyun was chanting scriptures in the cave. In this way, the two lived peacefully on the top of the cave for several days.

On this day, Zuo Shaoyang and Xianyun went to the back mountain to collect firewood and mushrooms. Xianyun suddenly stood up and burst into tears.

Zuo Shaoyang was very strange and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xianyun pointed into the distance: "That's where Master's eyes are blinded by miasma." ”

Zuo Shaoyang knew that when Xianyun and the old nun were looking for a place to cultivate on this Huashan Mountain three years ago, they found this cave, and the old nun entered and was blinded by the miasma. If she hadn't been blind, the two tigers wouldn't have been able to hurt her. I can't help but feel gloomy in my heart. He looked up at the cave in the distance. The cave was in the middle of a gently sloping stone wall, and a giant pine stretched out and poked into the air, which was really beautiful.

Early the next morning, after Zuo Shaoyang finished practicing, Xianyun was doing morning classes in the cave, and he was wandering alone. Somehow, I wandered to the place where Xianyun's master was blinded. With nothing to do, he decided to check it out.

This cave was very hidden, and if Xianyun hadn't pointed it out to him, he wouldn't have imagined that this would be the mouth of a cave. The slope is still steep and overgrown with thorns.

It was difficult for the ground to reach the entrance of the cave, so he used the trick of going high and high to go through the treetops and came to the entrance of the cave.

There's nothing out of the ordinary. He threw a stone into it, and nothing happened. He wasn't going to go on an adventure, curiosity would cost him his life. He sat at the mouth of the cave and looked at the stone wall opposite.

Zuo Shaoyang's eyes fell on the opposite mountain wall, his mountain peak was opposite the mountain wall, looking at the mountain wall was like looking in a mirror.

There he had climbed countless times, searching for the secret treasure, but to no avail. His gaze panned and fell to the Evian Temple deep in the dense forest next to him. From the temple to the mountain wall directly opposite, it was exactly three hundred zhang, where he searched many times, but found no treasure.

Where will the treasure be?

He wondered, and sat there staring at the opposite mountain wall in a daze. ――If only the opposite mountain was the same as the mountain I was on, and I could walk freely!

The same?

Yes, why does the treasure have to be on the opposite hill wall? My own mountain is also a cliff. It's just that this cliff is a little gentler than the other side. He remembered that the original sentence hidden in the Analects was: "The rock pine in the middle of the cliff"

It's also a cliff on my side, and the location of this cave is also in the middle of the cliff here, and there is also a rock pine!

Could it be that the treasure is not on the opposite cliff, but on the cliff where he sits on this side?

He jumped up with excitement at this thought, and measured the distance, and sure enough, the cave here happened to be the same distance from the mountain wall of Evian Temple that he had measured at that time! In other words, this cave is also 300 zhang away from Evian Temple!

At that time, I only paid attention to the word cliff, and I was paranoid that the cliff was a steep cliff, and the relatively gentle stone wall where the cave was located was a hillside, so I didn't pay attention to this side. Actually, it's a cliff -- just a cliff with a gentle slope!

His eyes looked back at the slope of the mountain where he was, and suddenly, his heart moved, there are two peaks on this slope that are not very obvious, and the top of the mountain is round, is this the so-called "Twin Peaks"?!

Looking back at the steep mountain wall opposite, the top of the mountain is curved and curved, and it doesn't look like a twin peak.

I only pay attention to the word "cliff" and ignore the "Twin Peaks"! In fact, this mountain is the Twin Peaks, and the location is also to the right of Evian Temple!

Find the wrong place yourself! The treasure burial place is actually in this cave hidden under the stone wall rock pine here!

Zuo Shaoyang was overjoyed by his discovery.

But he was at once not glad again, for there was a miasma in this cave, which had blinded the old nun's eyes! How to break through this miasma?

Three years have passed, has the miasma in it disappeared?

Zuo Shaoyang decided to give it a try.

Of course, he would not have taken any risks himself, so he went back to the cave where he was staying and took a rope and caught a monkey to act as a sentry. This Huashan is full of monkeys, and it is sparsely populated, and the monkeys are not very afraid of people. And with his current ability, it is still easy to capture a monkey alive.

He tied the monkey with a rope and put him into the cave, and struck the wall of the cave with a stone to intimidate the monkey, and the monkey was so frightened that he drilled into the cave and kept pulling the rope to go inside.

The rope was released for more than ten zhang, and then stopped, Zuo Shaoyang pulled, did not move, and quickly recovered the rope. Pulled the monkey out.

The monkey is dead! There were no external injuries on the body, and the skin did not fester, but the eyeballs turned grayish-white!

There's a miasma in there! And this miasma can cause damage to the watery eyeballs!

It's no wonder that in a place where such an important treasure is hidden, it's strange that there are no mechanisms.

How to break through poison gas?

It would be nice to have a gas mask. No, make one yourself? He studied medicine, but he didn't learn how to make a gas mask.

What about making an oxygen cylinder? If you don't breathe the air in the cave and the oxygen in the oxygen cylinder, won't you be able to escape the poison gas? This should be more suitable than the manufacture of gas masks.

Now it is necessary to make a sealed oxygen mask and then a large jar bottle, which lacks a compression device, but a large bottle of air should also last for a while.

The material is naturally made of skin, and the tiger skins of the two tigers killed by Xianyun's master last time have been peeled off to make the bed, which can be used as a breathing utensil!

What about the eyes?

He couldn't think of a good way, so he could only try to close his eyes first.

He returned to the cave, Xianyun had finished his morning class and prepared his meal, of course, there was no meat. So don't pick either.

After eating, he asked Xianyun to help him sew two large water bags with tiger skin, and connect a one-foot-long tiger skin hose, which must be sealed and not leaking.

Needlework was an essential skill for women in ancient times. Xianyun is no exception. The flying needles were routed, and the two bags were sewn in no time.

Zuo Shaoyang tried it with water, and sure enough, it didn't leak, and he was very happy.

While Xianyun sewed the bag, he made a simple pump out of bamboo and tiger skin.

In the afternoon, Xianyun chanted and practiced, Zuo Shaoyang took two bags and bamboo tubes, as well as ropes, and came to the cave again.

He first tested how long a bag of air lasted. After testing, it was about enough to last a meal, and from the time the monkey was in, a bag of air was enough to keep him in and out for one trip. Peace of mind.

He still didn't want to go straight to it himself, so he decided to do an experiment with monkeys first.
