Volume 1 The Mystery Mountain of the Big Dipper Chapter 27 Inside the Castle (Part II)
Last time, it was said that Shen Yifan and the others were surrounded by a large group of spiders, and only then did they get out of the fire and come to a hill. Only here can everyone be considered out of danger, and Murong Wan'er raised a question, that is, some animals here are within the scope of everyone's knowledge, but some are like illusions and have never been seen.
Shen Yifan was asked by Murong Wan'er, and he didn't know how to answer for a long time. Indeed, everything in the Big Dipper is too weird and incredible. If you insist on explaining the animals they saw, you can only use the content of the ancient Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Everyone was already exhausted by the spiders, and when everyone relaxed for a while, they dozed off, Shen Yifan also took a nap in a daze, and when he was half-asleep, he was gently pushed by a person, and when he was half asleep, he opened his sleepy eyes and saw that a black shadow stood in front of him, and the black shadow made a silent gesture.
Shen Yifan rubbed his eyes and cleared his mind. Only then did he realize that it was the mysterious black shadow man, the black shadow man waved his hand and motioned for Shen Yifan to go with him, Shen Yifan saw that everyone was sleeping soundly, and then tiptoed away with the black shadow man.
When the two came to a clearing, the Shadow Man said coldly, "Give me your knife." ”
After the last two black shadow people's help, Shen Yifan also had trust in this mysterious person's black shadow man, and without asking too much, he handed the Yiwang knife in his hand to the black shadow man, and the black shadow man pulled out the Yiwang knife and said: "There is a knife in the world called 'blood drinking knife', this kind of knife will increase its power once you drink enough blood, and this Yiwang knife also belongs to this category." Once he encounters human blood, he will stimulate the vine king beast in the knife, this animal is demonic, if you are not strong willpower, you will be controlled by this monster, and it will strengthen your skills for a while, but it will also lose the nature of ordinary people. ”
Shen Yifan suddenly realized and said, "Then blame me for killing in Baitang's camp." ”
The shadow man didn't say anything, and suddenly slashed the blade on his arm, and a wisp of blood splashed directly on the back of the knife, and then saw that the blood was quickly absorbed by the back of the knife, and then the horse's eyes on the handle of the knife were red, but they quickly disappeared.
Shen Yifan didn't know why he was here, so he asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
The shadow man still didn't speak, just looked at the knife and said to himself, "Still no." ”
As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Shen Yifan's hand as fast as the wind, and slashed the blade, and suddenly the blood was also absorbed by the knife surface, but the difference at this time was that the handle of the knife was flashing red, but the wisp of blood along the knife surface, from the handle of the knife to the tip of the knife, began to spread throughout the knife like a blood meridian, and this situation quickly disappeared.
When the dark shadow man saw this, he actually laughed and said, "Sure enough, it's you, sure enough, it's you." ”
"I ...... What is really me? Shen Yifan hurriedly asked.
The Black Shadow Man suddenly suppressed his laughter and said seriously: "Have you basically guessed what the layout of Beidou Mountain is like?" ”
"Yes!" Shen Yifan replied.
The Shadow Man said, "Good. You should know how to get out of this maze, right? ”
"Yes!" Shen Yifan replied.
The Shadow Man said, "You have to keep in mind what I say below, this is the key to getting you out of Beidou Mountain alive. ”
Shen Yifan nodded.
The Shadow Man said, "After leaving this labyrinth, the first mountain is Tianji Mountain, which is the mountain you see. From the beginning of the Dimensity Mountain, everything in it will be beyond your comprehension. Remember! The Black Shadow Man said the word 'remember' very seriously: "After you enter Tianji Mountain, you must go all the way up the mountain road, no matter what you encounter, you can't enter any Taoist palace in the mountain, and when you reach the top of the mountain, you will see a bell tower, and the passage to Shouyang Mountain is under the bell tower." ”
The Shadow Man continued, "The way to open the door of the passage is to attribute the Seven Stars Diagram to it. Remember......" The Shadow Man once said the word 'remember' very emphatically: "Whatever is in the passage, you can't move." ”
Shen Yifan nodded clearly when he heard it.
The black silver man took out a medicine bottle and threw it to Shen Yifan and said: "There are two bronze mountains of more than 100 meters between Tianji Mountain and Shouyang Mountain, that is, the mountains formed by the accumulation of the seeds of the copper lotus and iron trees I mentioned before, where is the road to Shouyang Mountain after all, it is full of dormant vine king beasts. ”
"Ahh Shen Yifan had seen the power of the vine king beast, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
The black shadow man smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, the Yiwang Sword in your hand can deter these vine king beasts." I'm giving you a fake death pill. ”
Shen Yifan looked at the medicine bottle in his hand and said, "This is a fake death pill that can reduce the heart rate of the living?" ”
"The vine king beast determines the target of attack based on heart rate, so as long as the heart rate is lowered to a certain standard, it will not touch them." The Shadow Man said, "When you enter that tunnel, each person has one under their tongue. After speaking, he thought about it again and said: "When you arrive at Shouyang Mountain, you can see a canyon that is like spring all year round, where it is very safe." Camp there, and I will come to you. With that, the man had already left quickly.
When Shen Yifan returned to the camp, everyone was still asleep. He returned to his original position and squinted a little.
Early in the morning, Shen Yifan urged everyone to leave here, and everyone counted their equipment and set off. Follow the pre-recorded path and soon come to the edge of a drawbridge.
After the fire at night, the labyrinth town behind them no longer had the function of a labyrinth, as long as they walked according to the charred remnants, they had left the labyrinth town in a short time, and in front of them was a very long suspension bridge, spanning the two mountains, formed by nine iron chains, and covered with wooden planks.
Shen Yifan stepped on it with his foot, and the wooden board made a 'squeaky and rattling' sound, but he felt that he could bear the weight of a person, so he returned to the team and said: "This wooden board has been specially treated, it may have been soaked in tung oil, and there should be no problem for people to go up." ”
The expert looked down, about four or five meters away from the suspension bridge below is the turbulent river, the water is very turbulent here, the rolling waves are heading forward, and the length of the suspension bridge is estimated to be more than two hundred meters, looking at the suspension bridge in front of him and the river under his feet, his heart is still a little weak.
There is a very dilapidated city tower at the head of the bridge, it seems that it is not high to block the effect, there is a boundary monument on one side of the city tower, and you can vaguely see that "no entry, no forgiveness for killing" is very clear that this is a barrier to class division, and after crossing this bridge, it will really enter the ruling center of Beidou City.
Shen Yifan looked at it and said, "This bridge should be the only passage connecting Zuofu Mountain and Tianji Mountain." ”
Jin Zhuyu said: "It seems that this place and the opposite point are the shortest places of the two mountains, so the ancients should assume a suspension bridge here." ”
Shen Yifan said: "I'm the first." As he spoke, a man had already walked towards the drawbridge, and his steps were so heavy that no plank had to be stepped on hard before it passed, and once he encountered a rotten plank, he simply broke it, so that the people behind him would not step on the plank and fall.
There was no danger in going all the way, and everyone began to rush towards the bridge in the direction where Shen Yifan was standing, and Shen Yifan felt that there should be no problem for them to cross the bridge, so they got up in large numbers all around. Looking around, as Jin Jiyu said, the position he stood belonged to the lowest part of Tianji Mountain, surrounded by skyscraper cliff paintings, there was a winding mountain road in the middle, on both sides were gurgling mountain streams, and it looked like the small stream on the top of the mountain flowed down into the river.
Shen Yifan was immediately attracted by the cliff painting, the color of this cliff painting is very bright, just like the one that was painted not long ago, some of the paint seems to be dripping down in the water vapor of the clouds and mist in the mountain. The cliff painting extends from the bottom all the way up, and all the places as far as the eye can see are painted, the cliff painting is very vivid, it is a realistic painting, and it looks like it records an event.
At this time, everyone had already crossed the bridge safely, and they were all attracted by this skyscraper cliff painting, Fang Zi said: "This cliff painting has not been eroded by the wind? ”
"In ancient times, there was a secret pigment method that could preserve the color for thousands of years. The cave murals in Yunmeng Mountain also have this ingredient. But it's the first time I've seen it in such a humid environment. ”
The expert scraped it with a knife, but it didn't seem to have any effect, and looked up at the cliff painting and said, "The incident response on this painting is very important to the locals, so this secret pigment will be used." ”
The cliff painting is rich in ink and color, and the bottom is yellow and the top is black, which is very distinct. In yellow, you can see a group of people in animal skins worshipping it, surrounded by dead animals and withered plants, looking like a disaster. There are nine huge white circles on the black base, which stand out in the black tone, and below the white circle, there is a white figure slowly moving downward, with light all over his body.
Although the cliff paintings are large and the brushwork looks simple, many small details are very delicate, such as the death of the cattle can be seen to send out the plague and the like, the worshippers are wearing animal skins, and the plants are all withered. But on the black tone, the thing is very rough, except for the glow, there are circles and human outlines.
Shen Yifan said: "This painting should say that the earth suffered a disaster, and a god came down from the sky." It may be to save the world. ”
Murong Wan'er said: "It is possible that this painting is about the things before Beidou Mountain. ”
After watching for a long time, everyone couldn't see anything, so they could only go towards the mountain path. Winding all the way up, this mountain road is very easy to walk, all of them are paved with bluestone bricks into steps, and everyone walks along the steps without effort at all.
After walking for more than an hour, we found that there was a platform in front of us, on which an ancient pine was planted, the tree was inclined and densely foliage, and there was a pavilion under the ancient pine, and the branches and leaves of the ancient pine were just like a parasol covering the top of the pavilion. There are also stone tables and chairs on the side of the pavilion, and a trough passes by it, and the stream from the mountain flows slowly through the trough.
Everyone came to the platform and looked around, on the opposite side of the pavilion is the edge of the cliff with stone railings, you can see the clouds and mist in the distance, the mountains are stacked, the scenery is picturesque and beautiful.
Gu Jie said on the side: "This ancient man will really enjoy it. Under the beautiful scenery, you can play and drink, push the cup and change the lamp, and be leisurely. ”
Shen Yifan looked down at the cliff, there is also a huge cliff painting on this cliff, on which you can see a person dressed as a Taoist who is treating the people, and there is also cultivating farmland with the people, spinning and weaving. This cliff painting is more elaborate, and you can see the houses and fields in the distance, poultry and cattle ploughing, and the people wearing cloth clothes instead of animal skins.
Everyone wanted to rest in the pavilion, but was stopped by Shen Yifan, and everyone didn't understand why, but in order to prevent there from being hidden in it, they didn't enter, so everyone rested a little under the ancient pine, and walked up again.
Shen Yifan explained along the way: "We must be careful here, don't enter any buildings. so as not to touch the mechanism. ”
Everyone nodded. There was nothing to say all the way, everyone had been walking for nearly nine hours, and in the evening, before they reached the halfway point of the mountain, they heard the rumbling sound under the mountain, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw another scene in the distance, in the sunset, there was a in the distance, but the embankment had burst, and from the breach of the embankment, a large number of yellow waves poured in, and the yellow waves poured into the river like a yellow ribbon for thousands of miles, pouring into the river in the direction of the Juma ditch, and everyone could feel a heat wave coming out of the waves.
"This should be a sulfur tide." Shen Yifan said: "The embankment built here by the ancients. It is estimated that it is to resist the sulfur tide, and you see, the sulfur tide goes directly to the Juma ditch along the river surface, and the water conservancy in the river should also be artificially modified, and the sulfur tide will only enter the Juma ditch along the designated flow direction. I think that the Juma ditch is both part of the canal and part of the flood discharge. ”
Jin Zhuyu said: "It's about to get dark, why don't we camp here?" ”
Shen Yifan looked at it and said, "Let's walk for another two hours." ”
Everyone nodded, and began to head up again. Basically, at their speed, they can see a mountain platform every hour, and there are buildings on almost every platform, and there are skyscraper cliff paintings on every platform. The cliff painting is more and more fine, and when Shen Yifan and others walked for two hours, when it was dark, the platform was even wider, and there was a three-story Taoist temple on it.
The stone slabs zigzagged towards the courtyard gate of the Taoist temple, and the two rows were planted with green bamboos, which grew very densely. The Taoist temple in front is a three-entry courtyard, and the highest should be the Sanqing Palace, a three-story building. The arc door opening, straight and deep, can also see a column of begonia trees full of begonia flowers in the yard.
Everyone looked at this Taoist temple and fell into a trance, for fear that they would walk out of an old Taoist style of fairy bones from inside, and waved at them and said: "Amitayus Shouzun." ”
At this time, the expert said a word, which made everyone suddenly feel a cold sweat on the spine, and he said: "Have you noticed that we have taken care of both buildings and plants along the way, as if someone takes care of them every day." ”
When you hear about it, you also find out that if there is no one here, why the trees grow so justly, and why the buildings here are not damaged, and they are still spotless when they go to see it.
Shen Yifan said to himself: "Time has stood still? ”
