"What the hell is that dark shadow? Has anyone seen it? Uncle Xu asked.

"Some of my men vaguely saw it...... It looks like a toad,......" said Lu Daxun, the captain of Moji's team.

"Toad?"

"That black shadow is swimming on the surface of the water, only partially exposed, and it does look like a toad......"

"There are two or three meters above the water, how big is this toad?" Uncle Xu exclaimed.

Mo Ji said: "It doesn't matter how old it is, we won't go back anyway!" Why bother with it? ”

"Again, we don't need to waste too much time here." Uncle Xu said. He was always thinking about Xu Yunshu's illness in the United States. No one knows how long Xu Yunshu can survive, and it is good to be able to find a cure a minute earlier.

At this time, Mo Ji's eyes looked at me on the other side again: "Mr. Xu, I didn't expect the Yunmen people you were looking for to be so young!" ”

Uncle Xu and I were both surprised: "How do you know?" ”

Mo Ji's gaze glanced at the other person and said, "Of course, you are not the only one who has invited Cloud Gate!" The person he was looking at was Master Liang.

"You're from Cloud Gate too?" I looked at Senior Liang in surprise and said.

Senior Liang was not surprised by my Cloud Gate identity, as if he had known it for a long time: "Stratus Cloud, Master Liang!" As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of jade from his trouser pocket. There is a layered cloud engraved on that piece of jade, which should be the mark of the vein of stratus.

No wonder he can use that strange secret method, what is it called the method of combining beasts, it turns out that he is a stratus person. Isn't it said that the Stratus vein is the most mysterious, and what it is good at is the method of inviting immortals?

"When did you know that I was from the Xiangyun lineage?" I asked Mr. Liang.

"In Xiushui Village!" Master Liang said, "You inadvertently exposed the piece of jade on your chest at that time, so I can recognize you at a glance!" ”

"I heard that the number of people in your stratus lineage is extremely rare, is it true?" I asked.

"Indeed!" Master Liang said, "Our Stratus One Vein is not like the other three veins, which are already sparsely populated, and they will never accept apprentices easily, so they need the so-called chance. If the opportunity is not reached, even if it is death, it will not accept the doorman. You see, my nephew has wealth, although he is my own nephew, but he has no chance to be included in the stratus gate. ”

"Serendiity? What chance? I asked.

"This ...... Not enough for outsiders too! Liang said.

Since it's someone else's secret, I'm not interested in inquiring any further: "I didn't expect you to have so many rules...... By the way, I want to know, at that time, the four of us saw the words on the stone wall at the same time, and after that, we had a lot of effort to find this place, how did you decipher it? "Now I know that Master Liang is also a disciple of the Cloud Gate, so I don't call him Master Liang anymore.

Master Liang smiled slightly and said: "It has been nearly forty years since I entered the Cloud Gate, and the three columns of numbers can be seen at a glance to be the number of the nine palaces, but only one 'one' is missing. Now that you know this, it is not difficult to understand what follows. 'The ancestor of a thousand dragons, the source of ten thousand shows' refers to this 'one' naturally......"

"Why do you say that?" I asked Mr. Liang.

Liang Shiyou glanced at me: "Xiangyun is good at using the art of feng shui, and the art of feng shui is derived from the Book of Changes, and Confucianism and Taoism are inextricably linked. That's why I said that this 'one' is 'the ancestor of a thousand dragons, the source of ten thousand shows'! ”

I nodded secretly, feeling that what Master Liang said was indeed very reasonable.

Liang Shiyou continued: "Since it can be called Qianlong and Wanxiu, of course it will not be limited to a certain place, and the text refers to the entire land of China. Knowing the front, this 'there are stars in the sky, and there are no mountains on the earth' is of course easy to understand. There are nine stars in the sky, and of course there must be nine mountains and nine dragons on the earth to echo it, but the text says that there is no echoing mountain in 'one'. As for the rest, it's easy to say. ”

"So you found Mo Ji and asked him to send someone to 'One' to investigate?" I asked.

"Nope!" Master Liang said, "I directly found Mr. Mo and asked him to come to Hidden Fog Mountain." ”

"Then how did you know that this 'one' is in the Hidden Misty Mountain?" I was surprised how Mr. Liang was able to know the exact location of "One" at once.

Master Liang smiled: "Have you ever heard the story of a warlord of Cao Xuan who led his troops into the Hidden Fog Mountain to hunt for treasure?" ”

"I've heard this rumor before when I was in Wangu." I say.

"That's not a rumor, that's true!" Liang Shiyou said.

"But I heard that after Cao Xuan led his troops into the mountain, he never went out again. It seems that they should all have died in the Hidden Misty Mountain. ”

Master Liang shook his head slightly and said: "The people here have always rumored a saying that 'Hidden Fog Mountain, the ghost gate is closed, and the black and white impermanence stands inside, as long as you step into the mountain gate, ten people will not return when they come in.'" It is said that no one can get out of this Hidden Fog Mountain, but as far as I know, there are really people who got out alive, and this person is one of the soldiers in Cao Xuan's army. ”

"Who is it?" I'm curious, too.

Master Liang didn't answer, but then said to himself: "Not only did he go out, but he also saw the legendary Luo Palace!" ”

"Is there really a Luo Palace?" The altar and I were surprised. Tanzi then asked Master Liang: "Then how do you know?" ”

Master Liang said: "Because the person who got out alive is my grandfather!" Liang Youcai interjected next to him and said, "That is, my grandfather!" ”

"What happened to the Naluo Palace, did your grandfather tell you?" I then asked Mr. Liang.

At this time, the people around gradually gathered around and listened to Master Liang's story, including Uncle Xu and Mo Ji.

Master Liang smiled and said, "It was my grandfather who said it, but he didn't say it." ”

"What do you mean by that?" We all looked at each other.

Liang Shiyou said: "At that time, although my grandfather escaped from the Hidden Fog Mountain, he went crazy. When he returned to our hometown, no one knew how such a madman walked back to Hebei from the junction of Guizhou and Guizhou. When my grandfather came home, he was crazy and babbling all day long, and often sat up when he slept at night, shouting the names 'Hidden Fog Mountain' and 'Luo Wanggong'. ”
