Chapter 34: A Broken Door
Passing through the ancestral hall of the Gao family, an ancient fan-shaped city gate stands in the backyard of the Gao family, connecting Wuyun Mountain.
Unlike the two city gates at the door of the Li family and the Zhao family, this city gate is not big, less than two meters high and less than half a meter wide, and it is more appropriate to say that it is a wall than a gate, because the city gate is closed, connected to the city walls on both sides, and it is a dead gate.
The city gate is made of thick thousand-year-old agarwood, thick and strong, more than 300 years have passed, this wooden gate has not the slightest trace of damage. There were some strange runes painted on the door, and it was impossible to tell what was written. In the middle of the door is a large Tai Chi Bagua diagram, with yin and yang fish located on the left and right.
Different from the previous Taiji diagram, there are five big characters distributed around the periphery of this Taiji diagram. These five words are written in an archaic font. The five characters "metal, wood, water, fire, earth," are evenly distributed around the Taiji circle. It's the same as the arrangement of Wuyun City. On the top is gold, on the left is earth, on the right is water, on the left is fire, and on the right is wood. And there are golden lines connecting the words between them.
Everyone wondered, how could such a sealed wooden door be opened? Cheng Yifan stood relatively far back, not knowing what was happening in front of him, but only saw that the person in front of him was in a daze at the ancient gate.
Jin Lanlan, Bai Quan, Ye Feifei, and Bai Su were relatively far ahead, and they could clearly see the strange runes and graphics of that door.
Because Jin Lanlan is a girl, she has never entered the ancestral hall of the Jin family, nor has she seen the gate of the Jin family, so she is also quite curious about the strange gate of the Gao family.
Jin Lanlan pulled the corner of Gao Yunliang's clothes in front of her and said, "Why is this door of your house so strange?" How do you open this? ”
Gao Yunliang turned to Jin Lanlan with a smile and said, "Don't worry, the mountain people have their own clever plans, just don't peek at them for a while, haha." ”
"Who breaches the door of your house?" Jin Lanlan regretted it a little after speaking, she didn't rarely see this door, but she rarely had someone from the Gao family, if she really became the daughter-in-law of the Gao family in the future, then this broken door would be hers, Jin Lanlan laughed secretly in her heart.
"Hahaha, you're right, this is indeed a broken door." Gao Yunliang smiled and made a gesture on the door like a chess game. The mouth whispered: the left fire, the right wood, the gold, the earth, the water, the five elements face each other, and the mirror image is broken.
Jin Lanlan didn't see Gao Yunliang's movements clearly, and she couldn't hear what Gao Yunliang was talking about. But at this time, the Tai Chi pattern on the city gate was shining and dazzling, illuminating the dark passage in front of Cheng Yifan and them. Cheng Yifan really wanted to squeeze to the front to take a look, since the awakening of the bloodline, Cheng Yifan's curiosity has increased unabated, and the heart of digging into the bottom has become stronger. But there were too many people in front of him, and the passage was too small, so he really couldn't squeeze through, so he could only tiptoe and stretch out his head to look into the distance.
The light of the Taiji diagram did not last long, and it gradually dimmed, and it didn't take long for the Taiji diagram to disappear. First, the outside font disappeared, followed by the circle of the Taiji diagram, and then the yin-yang fish, which first dissolved into one, and then disappeared together.
Ye Feifei, who was standing not far from the gate, Bai Su, could see it clearly, and they all showed a look of surprise, feeling that they could return to the old country after crossing this city gate. It's like the time tunnel in a science fiction movie that can travel through time and space, which is unpredictable and makes people want to go in and find out right away.
"Yunliang, this can't be a time tunnel, where are you going to take us through?" Jin Lanlan asked with a smile.
If there is really such a door, then she is willing Gao Yunliang to take her away, away from the rights and wrongs of the Wuyun City and Gao Jin families.
"You've said it all, it's a broken door, haha" Gao Yunliang smiled and pointed to the city gate.
Ye Feifei and Bai Su looked again in the direction of Gao Yunliang's finger, only to see a large hole less than half a meter in diameter broken in the middle of the original fan-shaped city gate, and the entrance of the cave was the same size as the Taiji diagram that disappeared before.
It's really a broken door, Bai Su shook his head and said with a smile, his expression was very cute, and it made people feel pity.
The others were also amazed, and didn't think too much about it, they just thought that the previous door should be equivalent to a blind eye or something, maybe this broken door was his true face.
"Let's go," Gao Yunliang was the first to get in.
Although everyone thinks this action is a bit indecent, there is really no way, who said that this is the only way to enter the mountain.
When Kuroko was the last to cross the city gate, Cheng Yifan looked back at the city gate. The hole in the gate had been repaired, and there was a complete wooden gate in front of me. Cheng Yifan guessed that the door should have returned to its original appearance.
Cheng Yifan curiously asked Zhao Yawen behind him, "Yawen, have you ever entered this mountain?" Why is this door so strange. ”
"I've been in, I've been in when I've been very young, and I've been in with Gao Yunliang, Heizi, and Li Wenjing. At that time, Gao Yunliang knew for the first time how to open this door. He's sneaking a few of us into the mountains, hehe."
"What's in there?" Cheng Yifan asked.
"What nature is in it is that I can't tell you now, it's a bit mysterious, and the journey is exciting." Zhao Yawen smiled at Cheng Yifan.
"Then do the people in this Gate Wuyun City know about it?" Cheng Yifan digs the roots and plows the bottom road.
"As long as you have entered the mountain, you know, and this door can't be removed, it's not worth any money, no one cares, hehe." Zhao Yawen smiled mischievously at Cheng Yifan. I guessed that he would definitely ask reluctantly. Just tell him everything you know.
"In fact, the shape and structure of the three dead doors in these five cloud cities are similar, but the size is not the same. And the method of opening the city gate is not the same, the method is only known to the gatekeepers of each passage, which is equivalent to the password to open the door, nothing strange. "Those who enter the mountain can only enter the mountain with the permission of the gatekeeper and burn the borrowed incense."
"Didn't Jin Lanlan go in with you, I just saw her as surprised as I did." When Cheng Yifan said this, he deliberately leaned into Zhao Yawen and lowered his voice, for fear that others would hear it.
Zhao Yawen also leaned on Cheng Yifan's ear and said: "The Jin family is patriarchal, and even very rejects women, and their daughters can't get close to the ancestral hall, let alone enter the mountain. Sister Lan has been obedient since she was a child, and she refused to disobey her father's wishes, so she never followed in. ”
Cheng Yifan now finally understands why when Gao Yunliang and the Li family's grandmother heard that Jin Zhengyang asked Jin Lanlan and Jin Shipeng to enter the mountain together this time, the first thing they thought of would be the "blood sacrifice".
Usually the ancestral hall is not allowed to approach, but this time let her enter the mountain, if there is no purpose, who can believe it.
Cheng Yifan had rarely had contact with girls before, let alone leaning together so closely. The slightest fragrance wafted in, Cheng Yifan woke up from his contemplation, and smiled at Yawen with some embarrassment.
Zhao Yawen also seemed to have discovered something, and smiled a little shyly.
Kuroko was behind at this time, patted the embarrassed Yawen, and motioned for them to follow the team.
The passage in front of me is so narrow that only one person can walk. Thorny thorns on both sides. Coupled with the weeds on their feet, Cheng Yifan and his group walked very slowly, slowly moving forward one after another.
Bai Su's physique is relatively poor, and he feels sore all over his body after walking for a long time. She stopped and gasped and asked Gao Yunliang in front of her, "Gao Yunliang, can you rest, I can't walk anymore." ”
Huang Shengnan wanted to come over to help Bai Su, but the road was too small, and there was no way to get two people. Huang Shengnan threw the bag to Li Tieshan, and then motioned for Bai Su to put it on his shoulder.
Bai Su shook his head and said that he could hold on for a while.
"Miss Bai Su, hold on for a while, and there will be open land not far ahead." Gao Yunliang said to Bai Su behind him. Gao Yunliang knew that under this dark and dreary dark cloud, fog could rise at any time, and once it was foggy, it would be troublesome to enter the mountain.
"Hey, I said that your Gao family is short of money, can you tell our Jin family if you are short of money, look at your family's broken road and don't repair it, can you leave?" Jin Shipeng wanted to show off in front of Bai Su to show that their Jin family was rich. Unexpectedly, these words made Bai Su even more disgusted with him.
Everyone looked at him quietly, and continued on his way without saying a word.
Jin Shipeng was a little proud, and followed energetically.
At this moment, Cheng Yifan felt a heavy aura flash behind him, and hurriedly turned around. When he turned around, he happened to see the Kuroko at the back also looking back.
Zhao Yawen was startled by Cheng Yifan's sudden turn, and asked timidly, "What's wrong?" ”
Cheng Yifan searched for it to no avail, and glanced at the sunspot who turned his head back. Kuroko shook his head and seemed to tell Cheng Yifan, "There is nothing." ”
Ren Hong was relatively close to Cheng Yifan, although he didn't feel the murderous aura, he felt that Cheng Yifan and Heizi were almost at the same time. Guess if they saw something?
Ren Hong asked, "Did you see anything?" ”
Ren Hong's question attracted everyone's attention. Especially the high clouds in front of them, as if danger was coming, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Kuroko smiled and said: "I feel that there is something behind me, but I don't see it when I turn around, maybe it's snakes, insects, beasts and the like hiding in the grass or thorns, such a narrow road, it shouldn't be a person." ”
Gao Yunliang said to everyone: "Everyone be careful, there are many snakes and insects here, we have to hurry up."
After listening to Kuroko and Gao Yunliang's words, everyone felt that danger was slowly approaching them. Everyone didn't say anything, but accelerated the pace of moving forward in unison.
