Volume 2 The Beginning of the Power Chapter 136 The Taoist Temple in the Mountains, the Remains in the Cave

Along the way, Luo Youcheng used the carving knife on the wrist saber to carve the number "1" and an outward arrow on the wall of the cave.

I didn't walk for two minutes, and there were two roads in front of me. Luo Youcheng chose the channel on the right and marked it as "1-1". "1-1" is a dead end, and Luo Youcheng quickly turned back. Next explore "1-2", this passage drives him crazy, there are actually six forks in the road.

The cave environment is intricate, the soles of the feet are slippery, and it is not realistic to explore on foot. But since he came, it was not his personality to turn around and leave. He thought about it and decided to try it with his mental power.

His mental power has always relied on his eyes and touch, and without his eyes or body, he doesn't know how to use it. The environment of the cave made him interested in giving it a try.

Mi Doudou was already frightened by this eerie and mysterious environment, and he trembled like a small motor on Luo Youcheng's back.

"Brother, why don't we go back?"

"Wait a minute, I'll use my mind to probe first."

Six strands of mental power probed into the six black holes, Luo Youcheng tried to touch the cave wall with his mental power, but at the same time, the six pieces of information fed back made his mind a little confused. He simply withdrew his five thoughts and concentrated his mind in a cave. The mind is like a blind man touching an elephant, groping forward little by little, and bypassing obstacles when encountered.

His mental power could stretch for nearly a mile without weight, in fact, it had only spread less than sixty meters in this passage before it had come to an end. He groped his mind for the opposite cave wall, but found no other exit. When he regained his mind, he had a rough idea of the shape and outline of the passage. In order to verify, he specially went in to verify it, and found that the discrepancy was not too big, and the difference was that the mental power in some places was not touched.

Luo Youcheng was overjoyed and felt that he had found another way to train and use his mental power. He tried five other passages, four of which were dead, and one of which had three forks. Luo Youcheng no longer has the interest to continue to explore downward, in this dark and invisible cave, if the daily monkey will go so far into the cave, he will not believe it.

"Sister, the cave is too complicated, I don't think this place is suitable for you, why don't I send you back to the hot springs, and I'll come back to find out?"

This sentence was like a natural sound to Mi Doudou, she nodded busily, and her forehead hit the back of her brother's head, and both of them squeaked in pain.

After sending Midoudou back to the castle, Luo Youcheng quickly returned to the cave with her superconducting backpack on his back. Without a cumbersome and abrasive sister, Luo Youcheng is very relaxed. This time instead of entering the channel numbered 1, he chose the middle lane, which he numbered 2.

Passage 2 was very deep, and the mind stretched forward for hundreds of meters, but it still did not come to an end. Luo Youcheng thought about measuring it with his footsteps. This passage is much wider than the forks in Passage 1, and the ground is relatively flat. After walking for about six or seven minutes, two holes appeared in front of me, and the hole on the right side was faintly bright. He immediately got inside.

This passage is not long, less than 100 meters, and the further you go, the brighter the light becomes. Luo Youcheng walked to the entrance of the cave, and was about to step out, but he took it back alive. In front of him is a huge natural cave hall, the entrance of the cave is about six meters from the ground, the ground is full of strange rocks, if ordinary people accidentally fall, they will lose half their lives if they don't die. According to the height of more than 30 meters on the ground, there is a small hole, from which the light slips in, and after the refraction of the gray and white stones, the cave hall is quite bright.

Luo Youcheng activated the flying boots and slowly fell below. There is a small pool in the corner, two or three square meters, the water is very clear, seeping through the crack in the rock, flowing out along the bottom of the cliff, and finally disappearing into a rock crevice.

The cave hall is about sixty or seventy square meters, and thick stone pillars or stone blocks abound. Luo Youcheng paid a little attention and found traces of monkey activities, such as monkey hair, monkey feces, fruit pits, etc. Turning a large rock, the object on the ground made his eyes shrink, it was a torn garment, not far away there was a skirt and underwear, covered with dust, no longer visible in its true color. Luo Youcheng quickly found the owner of the clothes in the corner of the cave hall, the skeleton lying on its back on the ground, its form intact, apparently undisturbed after death.

Luo Youcheng made a holographic video of the bones with a monocle, numbered each bone in the image, and then put the bones into a specimen bag and marked them according to the number in the image for later recovery. When he was done, he called Midoudou on a satellite phone, and Midoudou was so excited that he asked him to take some samples of the soil under the bones.

Collecting specimens was a laborious task, and by the time Luo Youcheng had finished the work, the light at the entrance of the cave had dimmed. He strapped his superconducting backpack and flew out of the hole. The entrance to the cave is the size of a manhole cover from below, but in reality it is not a problem to accommodate two or three people at the same time.

Out of the hole, Luo Youcheng saw the rising smoke, he suddenly thought of the small Taoist temple he had seen in between, I don't know who lived in this wilderness, he was curious, and flew in the direction of the smoke rising.

Flying to the small Taoist temple, I didn't see anyone in the temple. He did not enter the view, but lowered to the door and knocked on the mottled and dilapidated door.

There was no movement in the Taoist temple, as quiet as a cicada nymph still dormant in the ground. It was only when he knocked on the rusty knocker for the tenth time that he heard footsteps inside the door.

The door was opened by a middle-aged Taoist priest, wearing a badly faded cyan robe, the robe was not long, the hem was just up to the thighs, the lower body was a pair of loose cyan pants, and a pair of cloth shoes on his feet. The Taoist priest has a bun on his head, a beard, and a beard on his chin. The clothes are simple, but they are clean. It's just that the pupils of the eyes are cloudy, and the cornea is smeared with vicissitudes, which is incompatible with the face in the prime of life, and the pair of eyes seem to have been transplanted from an old man in his twilight.

The Taoist looked at Luo Youcheng in a daze for a long time before squeezing out a smile, "It turned out that Mr. Xiao came, and he didn't greet him from afar, so he was rude." ”

Luo Youcheng also learned to say in a crepe manner: "Dao Chief, I'm bothered." ”

The Taoist said that he was rude, but he didn't mean to sweep the door and entertain guests, his body was blocked at the door, but he took out a folded paper from his chest and handed it to Luo Youcheng.

"If Mr. Xiao has doubts, it is all in it, and whether he can understand it or not depends on Mr. Xiao's understanding."

Luo Youcheng wondered in his heart and took the paper. The paper is tough and soft, and it is a very rare rice paper in this era. Unfold it and look at it, and four lines of words are neatly written on it with a brush:

The prisoners of the Dian Sea are perverse.

Burmese mountains and rivers, the dragon is the king.

Thailand is not inclined to each other, and Mr. should go.

Noble and lowly colleagues, kill ghosts and males together.

Luo Youcheng is not familiar with the ancient language, but from the literal meaning, he can guess a rough idea. He looked up and was about to ask, but found that the Taoist at the door was gone, and the gate was closed.

"Please help me with my doubts." He said loudly.

After waiting for a while, a voice came from inside the gate: "Walking in the world, confusion will be solved naturally." ”

After that, there was no sound from inside. He tried to leap over the wall several times, but finally held back.

On the way back, the more he thought about it, the more he realized that something was wrong, that Taoist seemed to have been waiting for him here, and called him sir. In this day and age, how many people know the exact meaning of the word "sir"? It's really weird. He turned around and flew towards the small temple.

An even weirder thing happened, where is there a small Taoist temple on this mountainside?

Luo Youcheng carefully recalled the distribution and shape of the vegetation next to the small Taoist temple, but in the end he only found a clearing. He kept scratching his chin, and his brain felt like someone had been stuffed into a pulp. Is there really a land immortal in this world? He paced blankly up and down the clearing, until his foot touched a hard object in the grass.

It's a pyramid-shaped device, the size of a palm, and when you turn it over, you can see that there are burnt marks on the bottom. Looking at this self-destructing device, it dawned on him that he reached into the inner pocket of his jacket, and the piece of rice paper that he put in not long ago was indeed gone.

Luo Youcheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was actually deceived by a return to the real scene. But who bothered to lay out the mess here to deliver the message to him?

Thinking about it to no avail, Luo Youcheng put the self-destructing scene generator into the superconducting backpack. He did not return to the castle immediately, but after making a phone call to his old lady, he flew directly to the colorful waterfall in Xiling.

"The mountains and rivers of Burma, the dragon is the king." Literally, it means that the dragon is king in the mountains and rivers. Reminiscent of the scene when the Demon Monkey King retreated immediately after hearing the whistle, the Demon Monkey King was a dragon or a 魉 nine times out of ten. So, he decided to go to the cave near the Colorful Waterfall and explore it.

Since the Demon Monkey King left, there are many fewer monkeys in Xiling, and the situation observed through the plant sight distance is that within a radius of ten kilometers of the colorful waterfall, there are only a hundred or so monkeys, foraging, dozing, grooming each other's hair, or doing some intimate actions that make the opposite sex happy, and their behavior is not beyond the duty of monkeys.

Luo Youcheng ignored them and flew directly to the cave. The "monkey carnival" scene is no more, and the cave is empty. He turned on the monocle glow-in-the-dark mode, turned on the flashlight, and went directly into the passage at the back of the cave. The passage is not long, more than 20 meters, and behind the passage is a hall, which is divided into two by a natural stone wall. The small room is stacked with sharpened sticks, and the javelins that were distributed to the mad monkeys are supposed to have been taken from here.

The larger one was a bit more elaborate, with a large stone bed neatly stacked with stones in the corner, and the stone bed was covered with thick hay and animal fur on top. Just the sight on the fur makes people feel a little scary. There were two skeletons, one lying prone in the middle of the stone bed, and the other lying on its side against the cave wall. In the corner opposite the stone bed, there were still some scattered bones.

Luo Youcheng collected and sorted out the bone specimens, and tied the fur on the stone bed into a bundle.

When she returned to the castle, Mi Doudou, dressed in a bathrobe, was already in the hall to greet her, and the old woman was particularly excited to see the skeleton specimens. But when Luo Youcheng took out the specimens one by one from the large superconducting backpack, Mi Doudou's face stiffened.

"How can there be so many?"

Luo Youcheng pointed his finger, "This one is taken from the Wanfoshan Cave, and the others are all from the cave in Xiling." ”

He sighed and continued, "I didn't know who beeped at the beginning, and said that the Demon Monkey King was caught and let it not be lifted. ”

Mi Doudou shivered and couldn't help but run to the bathroom.

After Mi Doudou came back, Luo Youcheng glared at her helplessly: "The Demon Monkey King is long gone, are you scared to pee?" ”

Mi Doudou said aggrievedly: "But isn't it still alive?" ”
