Volume 1 The Mystery of the Big Dipper Chapter 39 Breaking the Takeo Pass (I)

Last time, it was said that after Shen Yifan and Murong Wan'er escaped from Yinglong's cave, the two stayed on the Qianlong Ping to rest and wait for the convergence with Jin Zhuyu and others, during which they saw a stone tablet with Ying Long's news recorded, and at this time, the black shadow man appeared and told Shen Yifan that Jin Zhuyu and others were heading to the pass between the two mountains and would encounter great danger.

Shen Yifan is in Wuqu Mountain, strictly speaking, he and Murong Wan'er have entered the two mountains of Wuqu and Pojun, and have avoided the middle pass of the dense organs, maybe this Yinglong Cave In a sense, the ancients thought that whoever went in would die, so in terms of anti-theft methods, Yinglong Cave was ignored.

Shen Yifan also felt curious, so he asked the black shadow man: "Since Qi Chungang is a person who is well-versed in the past and the present, why does he want to keep this hole?" Doesn't that leave a back door to his tomb? ”

The black shadow man laughed and said: "You can come out of this cave intact is also creation, this cave is not only Ying Long's lair but also the tomb of the dragon trainer, Ying Long's loyal servant will never find a second master in his life, once the master dies, he must guard the tomb of the master for life, and outsiders are not allowed to enter the master's tomb." In a sense, the white-backed cold snake helped you, otherwise you would have become Ying Long's snack long ago. ”

Shen Yifan said to himself again: "White-backed cold snake? ”

The black shadow man said: "Another main reason why Qi Chungang didn't seal Ying Long's lair was that they were very afraid of the white-backed cold snake in this cave at that time. Although this snake has no toxin, it has a very strong sense of territory and aggression, and is a very rare cold-blooded snake that does not hibernate. It can also be said to be a long-hibernating snake. ”

Shen Yifan was a little depressed by the black shadow man, what does it mean to have no hibernation for a while and then become a long-term hibernation, isn't it a contradiction? The dark shadow man asked Shen Yifan: "Do you want to save your friend?" ”

Shen Yifan said without thinking about it: "That's naturally going to go." ”

The Shadow Man said, "Then come down the mountain with me, and I'll explain to you on the way what this white-backed snake is?" ”

Shen Yifan wanted to wake up Murong Wan'er, who was sleeping, she was really tired these days, and she was injured by the Five Elements Corpse not long ago, just a little better, and after a toss in Yinglong Cave today, the whole person was already tired, and she fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

The Shadow Man said, "It's very safe here. Let her rest here. Her injuries weren't healed yet, and she couldn't help. ”

Shen Yifan also heard some truth, but after all, he was not at ease, and finally added enough hay to the bonfire on the Qianlong Flat before he was relieved to leave with the black shadow man, and left a note for Murong Wan'er before leaving.

The black shadow man looked at it and sneered: "Gentle Township Hero Mound." That's pretty much what shackles you. ”

Shen Yifan ignored it and left with the knife and the black shadow man, and saw that the black shadow figure was like the wind on the ninety-degree cliff stairs that went straight up and down, and it was actually jumping down several floors, as if the whole person was jumping down. Shen Yifan, who watched it, was also stunned.

You must know that Qianlong Ping is a cliff in Wuqu Mountain, although it is not very high, but once a person stumbles and falls, it is naturally crushed, although there are steps on this cliff, but as mentioned above, this kind of step is carved out on the cliff, strictly speaking, it is not a step, it is a pit a few feet long that allows people to step on the force hand and foot, and ordinary people want to go up and down from this kind of step, naturally like rock climbing, but I didn't think that the black shadow man jumped down directly.

Although Shen Yifan is good, he is not confident enough to be like the black shadow man, and he can only use his hands and feet to go downward, like a gecko sticking to the wall, the speed is naturally not comparable to the black shadow man, but it is also fast. This is actually a kind of martial arts light skill, called "gecko hanging on the wall".

After Shen Yifan and the black shadow man went down to the Qianlong Ping together, they rushed directly towards the two mountain passes, and on the way, the black shadow man told the white-backed cold snake and those crystal hanging coffins and the bronze jar where the white-backed cold snake was stored.

This matter should start after Wu Zetian became the emperor, Wu Zetian called the emperor and let the national teacher Wuji Taoist go to Beidou Mountain to preside over the alchemy, this Wuji Taoist has some ability to go to Beidou Mountain to look at the excellent feng shui here is Tianji Mountain, before this place has not been named 'Tianji' Wuji Taoist people built Wuji Temple here and named it 'Tianji Mountain', the project of Tianji Mountain is also a very large project, including the royal palace, so the requirements for feng shui are very strict. The feng shui of Tianji Mountain is the feng shui of yin and yang and the compatibility of the five elements, which is very in line with the concept of Wu Zetian at that time, but the only deficiency is that Tianji Mountain is the feng shui pattern of the golden dragon flying abyss and the phoenix dancing homecoming. On weekdays, this feng shui pattern is a good place, but the situation was different at that time, Wu Zetian was able to climb the treasure by overcoming all the differences, and those old ministers all shouted to let Wu Zetian return to the Li family, this Li family is naturally a dragon, and Wu Zetian is born in the harem, which is naturally a phoenix, Jinlong Feiyuan didn't let the Li family come out here to be the emperor, and the phoenix dance homecoming is a bit of a meaning for Wu Zetian to return to his hometown, so he violated the taboo. According to the situation at the time, this Wuji Daoist must be accused of killing the head, but what kind of character is this Wuji Daoist, since the feng shui pattern violated the taboo of long live at that time, then change the pattern, so the Wuji Daoist searched the entire Beidou Mountain, and found a place of extreme yin and a place of extreme yang are two caves, these two caves coexist in the Beidou Mountain like the sun and the moon, and the intersection of the straight line of these two caves is Tianji Mountain, so it has become the pattern of the golden dragon flying abyss and the phoenix dancing homecoming. Wuji Dao people understand that if you want to change Feng Shui, you must break the extreme yin and yang of these two caves, so how to crack it? The Taoist is also powerful, using foreign things to balance the yin and yang in the two holes, so that it becomes not the extreme yin and the yang. That Yinglong Cave is the land of extreme yang, so the Tianji Taoist people use crystals and other yin things plus corpses to balance the extreme yang qi of Yinglong Cave, so there is a five-element corpse and the dragon trainer fighting to the death, in fact, it is to fight for the control of the Yinglong Cave, and this time the Tianji Daoist seems to be a chess trick to kill the two dragon trainers, and snatched the control of the Yinglong Cave, and buried the crystal coffin in the way of hanging coffins on the top of the cave that is like the wall of the well, and let people cast forty-one bronze cylinders, and there is a peculiar snake egg in the tank, which is the egg of the white-backed cold snake, It is used to clamp down on the dragon in the cave and prevent it from destroying the layout of the cave.

This white-backed snake is also a rare species in the world, the white-backed snake is an inert cold-blooded animal that does not need to hibernate, the speed of action is very slow, the sense of territory is very strong, although it does not need to hibernate but does not move on weekdays, if there is no intruder, this snake can basically sleep from birth to old death, but once there is a foreign invader, it will wake up and tear the intruder into pieces with its three rows of sharp teeth, and what is more peculiar is that this snake is hermaphroditic, which means that it can lay eggs by itself, so it will be endless. In addition, this kind of snake will form a group of itself, and in order to maintain the survival of the group, they will strictly control the number of snakes to prevent them from overflowing, which is not the ability of other animals. In order to control the number of snakes, they will devour the eggs and wait until the next time to lay eggs, on the contrary, once the number of snakes falls below a horizontal line, they will speed up the number of eggs to reach the number of groups, which means that as long as there is a white-backed snake, there will be thousands of white-backed snakes.

The white-backed cold snake is called ' because it is white and is a snake that has been in hibernation for a long time. White-backed cold snakes', don't look at their movements are very slow, but attacking the intruders, that is not ambiguous at all, fast as a white lightning, although he is very small, only half an inch long, but three rows of sharp teeth and amazing bite force, more than a dozen white-backed cold snakes can bite a buffalo to death in an instant, and then there is the white-backed cold snake has no fear, as long as it is in its territory, they will no matter what it is, they will not be afraid, not to mention hundreds of thousands of white-backed cold snakes attack at the same time, in fact, there is almost no opponent in the world. Therefore, the white-backed cold snake is the best guardian deity to guard the tomb and underground palace.

After the destruction of the extreme yang feng shui in the dragon cave, the Wuji Dao people knew that there was a well above the cave where the locals often put food called 'Feed the Dragon Well', and heard the good words, because the name was very suitable for Wu Zetian's appetite at that time, only people who could not take care of themselves needed to be fed, and the dragon needed someone to feed him, and the world naturally wanted to choose a new master to settle the people's life, so the Wuji Dao people called this platform 'Qianlong Ping', so the name is the meaning of the dragon trapped in the shallows. This move was really appreciated by Wu Zetian, not only saved his head, but also received a reward of 10,000 taels of gold.

And when Qi Chungang built his mausoleum, it was estimated that he was also afraid of the white-backed Han Snake and Ying Long in the cave, so they bypassed this cave, allowing Shen Yifan and Murong Wan'er to reach Wuqu Mountain without passing through the pass.

There is also a place where the Extreme Yin Land Wuji Dao people do it even more absolutely, this is also what the Black Shadow Man heard, and others said that he had not really heard of it, so the Black Shadow Man was always skeptical about this matter. It is said that there is a Tianxue Xuan Ice Cave in the Beidou Mountain, and the temperature in the cave is more than 100 degrees below zero all year round. The Xuanbing Cave is the place of extreme yin in the Beidou Mountain, and the Wuji Dao people actually use the local volcanic magma to guide into the Xuanbing Cave to balance the polar yin, so there is a magma flow on the ice, and the ice and fire blend into a strange scene where the fire walks on the ice and the ice stops in the fire, and the Tianxue Xuanbing Cave is renamed the Tianhuo Xuanbing Cave, so the feng shui of the polar yin land is changed. Of course, the Black Shadow Man said that he had never seen this Tianxue Ice Cave, so he didn't quite believe in the wonders of ice and fire blending, so Wuji Dao dared to let Tianji Mountain build a lot of construction. I'll talk about the Heavenly Fire Ice Cave in detail in the later chapters, so I won't spend more time here.

It is said that Shen Yifan and the black shadow man came all the way and saw a very vague huge shadow in front of them, which looked like a high wall, Shen Yifan guessed that it was estimated that they would soon be able to reach the pass, and the black shadow man suddenly stopped and said: "The front is the pass." I'll help you in secret. The man had already left, and after a while, he disappeared into the darkness.

After the black shadow man disappeared, Shen Yifan looked at the pass in the distance, and looked at the pass on the Qianlong Ping of Wuqu Mountain very clearly, but he didn't expect that it was actually foggy now, and the thick fog almost reduced the visibility around him to zero, Shen Yifan could only see the distant things in front of him, and could only move the fog slowly with both hands, and at this time he heard a 'whoosh' sound, and I didn't know what was passing through Shen Yifan's ears at a very fast speed, and then heard 'whoosh, whoosh, The sound resounded as if it were all in the fog.

Shen Yifan has good skills and better ears, so he can hear the swishing sounds, and his body flexibly dodges these sounds, but in the dense fog, there is still a fear mentality, and he always wants to know what is what. At this moment, he heard another 'whoosh' sound in his ears, approaching, Shen Yifan reached out and grabbed the flying thing firmly, and saw that it was actually a grasshopper the size of a thumb, and the grasshopper pierced its two hind legs into Shen Yifan's palm in Shen Yifan's hand, and then bit Shen Yifan with the pliers on his mouth. Don't look at this thing, it hurts to bite it down, Shen Yifan shook his hand and didn't shake it off, and after a closer look, it turned out that there were countless barbs on the back legs of the grasshopper, and when it was stuck in the flesh, the barbs popped out and hooked firmly, and if you didn't pull it out, you couldn't shake it off at all.

Shen Yifan cursed secretly in his mouth, pulled out the grasshopper with force, and saw that the grasshopper's stomach had sucked Shen Yifan's blood, Shen Yifan pinched it to death with a hard pinch, and cursed in his mouth again, I didn't think that there were more and more grasshoppers in the dense fog at this time, even if Shen Yifan had good hearing, he couldn't avoid all the grasshoppers' attacks, and he was shocked to see that the grasshopper would also suck blood, and secretly thought that it wouldn't be a blood grasshopper, right? Just thinking of this, a few grasshoppers hooked Shen Yifan's neck and face in shock, Shen Yifan screamed in pain, and hurriedly pulled off these grasshoppers, looking at the menacing grasshopper, there was no way to use his own scabbard to block his face, rushing all the way to hundreds of meters away, and he could hear the sound of bells on the scabbard, fortunately, Shen Yifan's clothes were thick, so he didn't suffer from it, but after rushing out of hundreds of meters, he couldn't bear it, looked at a broken wall next to him, and hurriedly waved his hands to slap away those grasshoppers, and hid in the corner of the wall to avoid the attacks of the grasshoppers.

There are more and more grasshoppers sweeping in, and there are more and more grasshoppers in the air, and when I look up, I see that the black pressure on the top of my head is all these grasshoppers, densely packed and countless, regardless of rushing forward, there are many grasshoppers hitting the broken wall, and I hear 'poof' and turn into a mess of worm mud.

Shen Yifan was quite safe, he hid in the corner of the wall and then blocked the front with his clothes, but it worked wonders, those grasshoppers only cared about flying forward, none of the grasshoppers landed at Shen Yifan's feet, Shen Yifan was also happy to listen to the grasshoppers constantly crashing into the wall and dying, listening to the sound of 'poof' and 'poof' in his heart, he was a little curious. Curious where do so many grasshoppers come from? But soon he heard the sound of hitting the broken wall that something was wrong, as if something very hard had pierced directly into the broken wall.

This broken wall is made of pieces of bluestone, although it has gone through hundreds or even thousands of years, it is still strong, but what can be directly rooted into the wall, take a closer look at the things flying past him, Shen Yifan gasped, it turned out that what appeared next to Shen Yifan now was no longer a grasshopper, but a feather arrow, dense like a storm.

Shen Yifan asked himself in surprise: "Where did these feather arrows come from?" ”

Before the answer to this question could be given, Shen Yifan heard a very familiar voice, that is, Jin Jiyu, and heard her shouting: "Hide behind the wall." When these grasshoppers have passed, we will be in no danger. ”

When Shen Yifan heard that it was gold inlaid with jade, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't come out, there are arrows behind you." "Maybe Shen Yifan was in front of Jin Zhuyu and the others, so he was the first to come into contact with the rain of arrows, but no matter how Shen Yifan shouted, he could only hear Jin Jianyu's shout, and his own cry was quickly muffled by the sound of 'whooshing' arrows. Shen Yifan was in a hurry and beat his chest, and there was nothing he could do.

At this time, I heard a sentence from the distance of about two or three meters away from him: "Damn!" Where did the arrows come from? ”

Shen Yifan heard the voice of an expert and shouted, "Is it an expert?" ”

But not everyone's ear power is as good as Shen Yifan, Shen Yifan shouted but no one responded, so he heard: "Don't go out." Be careful to shoot your pear blossom with rain. ”

Because Shen Yifan's hearing was so good, they could hear them talking, but they couldn't hear Shen Yifan calling them, just when Shen Yifan was anxious to feel the fire in his heart, he heard Ah Bing shout: "Old-board-"
