The three of them rested here for a while, and then went straight to the temple of the witch god on the top of the mountain.

After this platform covered with stone tablets, the three of them were greeted by a stone gate, behind which were covered with nearly 100 stone pillars, each of which was carved with patterns.

Hu Yiyi acted as a guide again and began to explain the origin of these stone gates and stone pillars to Xiao Yao and the eldest lady.

Legend has it that after the death of the great god of Chiyou, in addition to the great witch god in the tribe, there is also a ghost, that is, one of the ancestors of Zhu Youke, this ghost candidate specializes in cultivating various mysterious spells, and later part of his descendants developed into the current Wei family, and the other part stayed in Phoenix Mountain with King Miao and the Witch Temple, but they did not live in the Witch God Temple, but lived in other caves in this Phoenix Mountain, these people are called curses, that is, the meaning of people who can spell and hide in the mountains.

And this stone gate is the original curse to stand in, symbolizing the cursed door, behind the door there are a total of 100 pillars, each pillar is engraved with a spell, each spell can reduce a person's life span of a year.

Anyone who is disrespectful to the great god Chiyou after entering the Phoenix Mountain will be cursed by these spells. A hundred pillars means that whoever is disrespectful to the great god will die quickly under these curses, so this place is also known as the Forest of Curses.

Then up is the highest part of the Phoenix Ridge, the ups and downs, the scenery is beautiful, but the witch temple is not at the top of this mountain, but in the top of the mountain a karst cave to the underground, who would have thought that there is such a huge temple under the Phoenix Mountain?

The three of them came to the entrance of the cave at the top of the mountain, and looked down, and there was no bottom.

According to Xiao Yao's visual measurements, this karst cave is 30 zhang wide and 20 zhang high, and the downward extension is along a dark river in the cave, the river surface is about five zhang wide, and each side is a 10 zhang wide Yongdao. There are pontoon bridges on the river from time to time, but there are no boats in the river.

Legend has it that this river leads straight to Hell, so you can't take a boat in it, or you will fall into Hell with a boat.

The three of them walked along the road on one side for about two miles, and the terrain gradually flattened, and the river turned into a smaller cave, and the remaining space was the storage of the Witch Temple.

As far as the eye can see, this witch temple is mainly decorated with dark purple decorations, and is divided into five floors, but it is different from the temples in the Central Plains. Because it is underground, many of the buildings here are built in the open air, and the temple is lined with huge stone pillars, which shows the grandeur of the temple.

There are many torches placed on each stone pillar, which illuminates the entire underground shrine in all directions, and the lights are bright, which has a unique sense of mystery.

The first floor of the temple is used to receive believers in the outer hall, the ground in front of the hall is paved with bluestone, next to each huge stone pillar, have built a row of three-story bamboo towers, for the believers to rest, but here and the Central Plains temples are very different.

The temple is mainly used to train shamans to preside over sacrifices, so there are not many believers who come here, and believers only come to the temple when they encounter difficulties or encounter witchcraft that cannot be solved. The worship of the shrine is provided by the four major toasts, so the food and lodging of the devotees here are free.

The three of them walked through the outer hall, and saw this real witch temple, a row of lofty stone pillars, a huge temple made of stones, each stone is carved with strokes and stone carvings, recording the history of the ancestors of the Miao people, using a classification similar to the ancient songs of the Miao people, which is divided into four parts: "Open the World", "Maple Song", "Flood Flood" and "Trekking through Mountains and Waters", and the surrounding text is the lyrics of this ancient song.

There is a huge statue in front of the stone hall, which is a woman dressed in white with a black mask, this is the mother of the great god of Chiyou, the first generation of the great witch god of the Miao people, and there are many stone tablets behind the statue, each stone tablet, representing a great witch god.

Bypassing the statues and steles, there is a huge stone temple. At this moment, the stone hall is empty, and there is not much furnishings, and it is said that people only come here to set up it during major festivals.

There are many stone pillars on the left and right sides of the main hall and bamboo towers built on stone pillars, which is the outer organization of the witch temple. Further to the three-story stone hall inside, only people inside the Wushen Temple can enter, even King Miao and the four great toasts can only enter the main hall on this floor.

Hu Yiyi took Xiao Yao and the eldest lady to the bamboo shed on the side and asked people about some things, and then they were led back to the outer hall and arranged for the three of them to wait in a room.

It turned out that King Miao had arrived at the Witch God Temple, but he had not seen the Witch God yet, but he only lived in the exclusive bamboo building on the side of the main hall. The other three messengers of Toast have not yet arrived, and the Witch Temple is organizing wizards to study the prophesied results of this witch and ghost conference.

It is not difficult to meet King Miao, but it still needs all the gifts sent by the Poison Dragon Sect to meet King Miao before he can go to meet him. At the same time, the Witch God Temple is forbidden to outsiders, so Xiao Yao and the eldest lady can't see the witch god of the Witch God Temple.

According to Xiao Yao's understanding, Hu Yiyi only completed the reservation procedures for meeting King Miao today, and then he needs to wait for the money to be collected before he can redeem the Huàn tickets and meet King Miao.

After the three of them settled down in the bamboo building, they couldn't help but wander around this underground cave world.

This huge karst cave is called Jiuli Cave by Miao people again, the bell ru stone in the cave is lined up, full of colors, crystal clear, thousands of postures, full of fun.

All kinds of stone flowers, stone curtains, stone birds, and stone beasts can be seen everywhere and are lifelike. Among them, there are dozens of stone pillars of the bell ru that are four or five zhang high, the highest one is as high as ten zhang, and the thickness is about four zhang, and many stone pillars in the cave are made of local materials, and these stone bells are directly made into stone pillars.

Walking around this large-scale underground cave, Xiao Yao was amazed from time to time.

That dark river is called the Yin River, and there are many small stone caves in this stone cave square, leading to everywhere, among them, because the dark river water gathers in one place, it becomes a dragon pool, the sound of the water is murmuring, hundreds of underground karst caves, or Linqing River, or the cliff, grand and deep, there are holes in the holes, the caves are unique, majestic and wonderful, and there are many wonders.

And this dragon pond is not inferior to the one on the ground.

The graceful rising mist on the surface of the lake makes people feel refreshed and refreshed, like a fairyland. When the three of them came to the lake, they couldn't help but hold their breath, calm down, and couldn't bear to break this tranquility.

The beauty of these caves is a natural beauty, a peerless beauty, the beauty of heavenly creations, the beauty of ghosts, the beauty of unadorned.

Under the illusory firelight, the cave was dazzlingly displayed in front of the three people.

Anyway, they had to wait for King Miao's summons, so the three of them walked around one by one in this countless caves, enjoying the unique scenery.

In order to prevent everyone from getting lost, all the caves that have been discovered, torches are named along the way, placed on the cave wall, and the stone wall is also engraved with instructions to return to the direction of the stone hall, so as long as there are torches and instructions, you will never lose your way.

Hu Yiyi was obviously playing freely in these caves for the first time, and Xiao Yao and the eldest lady were also attracted by these magnificent scenery.

The witch temple is also a world of its own here, but it does not produce food here, and all of it has to be transported from the outside world, which is a bit cumbersome.

But I heard Hu Yiyi say: "The grain is not transported in according to the road we just came in, but through the river outside the mountain directly along some karst caves and some dark rivers in Guò, as long as you don't take the Yin River." ”

The rivers in the cave are almost all over the nearby peaks, and it is very easy to hide in the event of an invasion of foreign enemies, which is one of the reasons why the Miao ancestors chose this place as the location of the temple at that time. Even if the other party has thousands of troops and horses, and can't figure out this spider-like road, they can't find the hiding place of the Miao people.

The three of them played in the cave for two hours before returning to the arranged bamboo building. The room was divided into two rooms, inside and outside, the eldest lady and Hu Yiyi lived in one inside, and Xiao Yao lived in the outside one.

After the three of them had dinner, Hu Yiyi immediately took the eldest lady to take a bath in a waterhole in the cave, but Xiao Yao was refused to come back by the two.

Xiao Yao watched the two leave, with nothing to do, so he took the little monkey to other caves to continue playing and sightseeing.

The underground karst caves are criss-crossed, the holes are heavy, the caves are supported by the holes, the holes are pierced, and the large and small karst caves are intertwined with each other, forming a huge underground karst cave group.

Xiao Yao chose a Qinglong Cave that he had only seen a few times before and walked inside.

Although this karst cave is only a branch karst cave, the cave is connected layer by layer, the whole is through, and there are six large branch caves, a dark river, a number of small holes, twists and turns, the hole is set in the hole, confusing.

There are many beautiful scenery in the cave, forming different bell stones: stalagmites, stone curtains, stone curtains, stone waterfalls, stone pillars, stone flowers, stone fruits, stone flows, stone pipes, stone pearls, stone towers, stone people, stone bamboos, stone mushrooms, stone grapes, beautiful; Stone birds, stone beasts, and stone Buddhas are vivid and realistic.

I heard Hu Yiyi explain before, this Qinglong Cave has three uniques: one unique, colorful, splendid. Generally, the bell rue stone, stalagmite, stone pillar, stone flower, and stone curtain in the karst cave are all ru white, and the Longtan karst cave is magnificent and magnificent because of the colorful rocks. Moreover, the landform is peculiar and precipitous, such as the snow-capped mountain lion, the ice forest flower tree, the jade mountain towering and other cave scenes, in a thousand postures, the whole dragon palace is decorated with gold and color, just like the mythical world, which can be called a superb view.

Two unique, one hole and two palaces, there is no fun. The front section of the cave is connected with dragons everywhere, resembling a dragon palace; In the later section, Yuyu Guanghan, Xianshan Qiongge, like a heavenly palace.

There are many waterfalls. There are waterfalls outside the cave and waterfalls inside the cave, both the water waterfalls that flow straight down and the ice waterfalls that freeze and do not move. It is a wonder that there are so many waterfalls of all kinds in the cave. The waterfall in the cave is like a bead curtain hanging in the sky, ups and downs. Longtan Four Waterfalls: Herringbone Waterfall, Yingbin Waterfall, Tianhe Waterfall, Nulong Waterfall, all kinds of romance, each leading the way.

The little guy got out of Xiao Yao's arms, stood on Xiao Yao's shoulder, and followed Xiao Yao towards the depths of the Qinglong Cave. Hu Yiyi said that the reason why this cave is called the Green Dragon Cave is that in addition to the Dragon Palace, there are legends that the great witch god who came here raised a green dragon of the Miao people in the dark river of this cave.

In this underground world, Xiao Yao faintly felt that the Getaway was running much faster than the outside world, and from time to time, the kind of air flow that made him very comfortable was attracted into his body, slowly moisturizing the whole body, and finally gathered into the liquid ball at the dantian.

After a few days of continuous reference, Xiao Yao knew that this liquid ball was his own sea of qi.

It's just that other people's qi sea is true qi, but their own qi sea is this liquid ball. Although it was always absorbing the special air currents in the surrounding air, Xiao Yao couldn't feel any changes in his true qi, and after this liquid sea of qi appeared, his true qi could only revolve around it outside, but he couldn't enter it.

Xiao Yao and the little monkey strolled casually, while Xiao Yao walked in the direction of the strong breath absorbed by this sea of qi.

Unconsciously, Xiao Yao came to the edge of a dark river. I saw that this dark river stretched along a branch of the Qinglong Cave, I don't see the source, and I don't know how far I have to go before the end, and the river water is extremely clear, and you can see fish swimming in front of you from time to time.

Xiao Yao couldn't help but fantasize that if there was really a green dragon in this dark river, then it would live up to the name of this green dragon cave, hehe.
