Chapter Twenty-Eight: Eight Scenes of Tranquility
[The book continues from the above, the last book said that the East and West Protectors of the Immortal Dao worked together to kill the giant python on Dragon Mountain, retrieved the place buried in the sealed dragon iron, and buried the charred snake bones under the ground together, covering up the traces left by what they did here. The north and south protectors of the Changsheng Road, after taking the address and key, went down from the West Mountain to the foot of the mountain, and came to the entrance of Longmen Village, which is just below the Longmen Grottoes. Drawing out the north and south protectors, he easily found the stronghold of the Immortal Dao hidden in the village, quietly hid in it, and prepared to set off after the night, crossing the Dianchi Lake to investigate Mu Qingming's disciples in the city. And the Dharma Protector who spent the night in the mountains is thinking about going to see the famous Eight Scenes of Tranquility at dawn tomorrow. 】
"Do you know where the stronghold is?" The Southern Protector, who asked this, also followed, and walked forward with the Northern Protector into the quiet village.
The houses in this village are simple, there are no mansions or abandoned houses, and it is still a thriving village.
"Hmm." The Northern Protector, who nodded, did not stop and continued to walk forward.
The road in the village is narrow and tortuous, and it is basically between the courtyard walls of each house, and the open space left is the road surface. Such an intricate road is not very easy to walk.
In addition, there are many courtyard walls on both sides, so it is inevitable that walking in them will be a little depressing. In addition, where you sometimes pass by the trees, there is a canopy overhead, and the trees are also full of shadows due to the dense branches and leaves, which is always a little gloomy.
And a lot of the road is not paved with floor tiles, the day before yesterday it rained a little, walking on the still damp mud, no matter how high the north and south Dharma Protector Paths are, they always feel like there are a lot of little hands under their feet pulling their shoes.
However, the two Dharma Protectors didn't care about this, and continued to walk between the chaotic courtyards in the village, which had no rules and regulations.
They just wanted to find the Immortal Dao stronghold as soon as possible.
Even though they are dead and resurrected corpses, and they are not shallow, they are not very willing to wander around strange places in the middle of the night.
After a while, the two men, who had walked around the village for most of the time, stood at the edge of the village, on the edge of a well far away from the dense courtyard.
On the edge of the well fence carved from smooth bluestone, not far away stands an old locust tree with lush leaves. The twisted crooked neck trunk of this old locust tree feels awkward no matter how you look at it.
And the branches that make up the dense canopy, intertwined, like the wizened fingers of a demon silently poking out in the dark night.
It seems that if it is going to fall from the sky, it will grasp something.
There were also clumps of tree nodules scattered irregularly on the bark, like one with wide eyes in the dark night, looking curiously at everything in the night.
This tree gave them two profound Dharma protectors, and they also had an uncomfortable feeling.
They always felt that since they stood on the edge of the well, it was as if hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at them in the night, and they were full of the discomfort of being watched.
But this discomfort was not threatening, but in order not to think about it, the Southern Protector took a step forward, stood on the edge of the well railing, and looked down. She wanted to use this to divert her attention, but in the dark night, under the leafy branches, she did not see the clear water in the well, but saw that it was pitch black.
There seems to be something wrong with the well water, the water is so dark that even Nan Protector's demon eyes that can see night vision can't see the waves in the water.
"The note said that the stronghold of Changshengdao is not in the well water."
The northern protector walked over, and after seeing that the southern protector was always staring at the water, he pointed to the old locust tree not far away, and said: "The note said that the stronghold was hidden in the old locust tree by the well, and that there was a hole in the tree under the canopy that was not easy to find, and the hole was narrow, and only one person could pass through, and that was the entrance." We'll probably have to climb up and go down that hole in the tree. ”。
The Southern Protector retracted his gaze, slowly raised his head, and after glancing at the thick and sturdy trunk of the old locust tree, he said to the Northern Protector with a roll of his eyes, "Isn't it more convenient for us to use the wall piercing technique to go in?" ”。
Then he lowered his head and looked at the dress on his body, and after a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, he said: "Why do you have to climb a tree and do something that is so easy to hurt your clothes and pants?" ”。
I was also curious about what I was thinking, but what method was applied to the bottom of the well? Why is it so dark that I can't see anything clearly?
"Also, I'm not going to make such a hassle." As soon as he said this, the Northern Protector walked towards the old locust tree, and at the same time he had already made a trick in his hand.
The Southern Protector looked at the trunk of the tree, and when he saw the Northern Protector Technique pinched out, a black aura suddenly rose out of thin air on the trunk.
Soon, a thick black gas enveloped the entire trunk like a thick mist.
The eye-like nodules were no longer visible, and along with the trunks, they were submerged in black air.
Without saying a word, the Northern Protector rushed into the black qi and disappeared in front of the Southern Protector.
This is the unique wall-piercing technique of the demons; If Mu Qingming was here at this time, he would definitely be able to recognize that the Northern Protector was a member of the Demon Race. Not only because the other party's corpse qi was mixed with demonic energy, but also because he thought that since he was a child, he had seen his mother perform this trick through the wall countless times.
This is a strange wall-piercing technique that only demons can learn, and it can also be used as a trick to confuse the enemy.
And at this moment, the Northern Protector who was staring at the black fog secretly thought in his heart: Anyway, I can only spend the night here tonight, so it is better to go to the stronghold first.
So, after a moment, without hesitation, she opened her legs and strode after her.
After passing through the black fog, the black fog behind him immediately closed up and disappeared. Behind the North Protector was a tightly knit wall of tree trunks, and under her feet, a line placed in the trunk of the tree, swirling up and down through the center of the trunk.
The two Dharma Protectors had entered the trunk of the tree.
However, because the middle of the trunk is not wide, the stone steps erected in it are also very narrow.
The Northern Protector had already taken a few steps down, standing around the corner and waiting for the Southern Protector.
The Southern Protector looked up at the top of his head; The spiral staircase beneath her feet went up to the top of the trunk above her head, a hole in the top of the trunk shrouded in dense foliage under the canopy.
In the blink of an eye, the Southern Protector withdrew his gaze and stepped forward again, following the Northern Protector down the swirling stone steps......
Outside the city, on the peaceful Dragon Mountain.
The birds that had been frightened before returned to the nest in the forest again, and the smell of blood and snake in the woods had dissipated, and after there was no danger of it, the forest was quiet.
It was almost dawn, and the pre-dawn darkness continued to envelop the heavens and the earth. In the woods on Dragon Mountain, there are countless dark shadows of tree shadows, and you can't see everything in the forest clearly.
The East and West Protectors of the Immortal Dao were still in the mountains and forests, and they had no place to go for the time being, so they found a clearing in the forest, went to collect some firewood, set it up, and lit a bonfire.
A subtle crackling sound emanated from the wood licked by the flames.
The hot wind swept in the flames, and the sparks that rose from the fire swirled and rose with the wind thinking about the high sky.
After a while, it turned into cool ashes and slowly fell from the sky.
Across the bonfire, the two Immortal Dao Protectors sitting opposite each other had nothing to do.
I can only use the branches in my hand to gently stir the charcoal in the bonfire.
The wine they brought with them, and they drank very little, and they were even more bored.
Fortunately, it was almost dawn, and once it was dawn, they could go somewhere else to play, and they didn't have to stay in the mountains anymore.
Boredom, the East Protector continued to fiddle with the charcoal covered in the flames in the bonfire in front of him, and asked the West Protector who was sitting on the ground and sitting opposite him, "West Protector, where are you going to play when it's dawn?" ”。
The flames lit his face red.
"A few days ago, I borrowed a few books from the disciples of the Immortal Dao in that secret passage, and one of them mentioned that there are eight scenes of tranquility, and I am still interested in these eight scenes." After taking a sip of the little wine left, the Western Protector burped and recalled that he said slowly, "As mentioned in the book, one is the curling jade. It is said that it is an Anning hot spring and also called jasper spring, bathing in the spring, people are like white jade. ”。
"Hmm." The Eastern Protector replied softly, raising his eyes to look at the Western Protector, who was already disappointed.
"It's a pity, you and I have a different skin than ordinary people, and we can't soak in this hot spring." Speaking of this, the West Protector looked at the purple-black skin on the back of his hand: "Even so, Yunyan Yufeng can't see it." ”。
When he withdrew his gaze, the look of loss in the eyes of the Western Protector disappeared without a trace.
"The second is the dragon cave to take the cool, it is said that there are stone caves such as Huanyun on the left side of Anning Hot Spring, which is extremely cool in summer, and it is extremely refreshing to escape the heat. It can be said that it is a cool dragon cave, so why not be afraid of the sun. The Western Protector said this, looking at the eastern sky.
Through the gap between the canopies of the trees overhead, he saw the Taibai Star that only appeared in the eastern sky in spring, and said disappointedly: "It's a pity that it's not summer, and we don't need to escape the heat." ”。
"Hmm." The East Protector on the opposite side nodded yes and continued to listen patiently.
"The third is the peach blossom in the spring garden, saying that there are many peach trees in the Longshan area, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom in early spring, like a few miles of sunny glow." The West Protector couldn't help but take another sip of wine, and continued: "I saw it when I went up the mountain, although it was dusk at that time, but I saw Taoxia. By the way, I also saw the fourth scene - Qingjiang Evening. At that time, the mantis river was vast under the sunset, and the peach blossoms bloomed all over the mountains, and when I walked under the trees, I felt the fragrance of peach blossoms. ”。
"Hmm." The nodding East Protector thought in his heart that the memory of this West Protector was so good, and he chanted leisurely in his mouth: "The peach blossoms have no owner, and the cute crimson loves light red." ”。
"You're still going to recite poetry?" The West Protector on the opposite side suddenly had excitement in his eyes, and looked at the East Protector curiously.
"I didn't write it, it was written by an ancient poet." The East Protector, who smiled, raised his hand and motioned for the West Protector to continue.
"So the third and fourth have seen it, and there is no need to watch it a second time." Putting away the excited West Protector, he continued: "This fifth scene is the smoke embankment listening to the warbler, saying that it is the willow dragging smoke on the bank of the river near Jasper Spring, and the ancient trees are shady. Early morning and dusk, spring flowers and autumn moon, warblers and birds, not different sheng springs; The spring water is turbulent, the water is colorless, but there is a sound. Insects and birds are full of life. After descending the mountain, the first thing I want to see is it. ”。
Before the words landed, the excitement in his eyes returned, mixed with a little yearning.
After a pause, he continued: "But what I want to see most is the evening photo of Fahua. ”。
Why does the Western Protector want to see the evening photos of China? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
[Lock Dragon People's Small Theater Yunyan Wind - After soaking in the hot spring, feel the thin clouds, the rain stone has a slight moss, the air is filled with a faint earthy fragrance, the cool breeze is in the arms, and the air is cool. Overlooking the beautiful and colorful, the smoke drifts for a long time, as if the feather has turned into a fairy, and the soles of the feet can go straight to the sky by stepping on the smoke. 】
