Chen Ran put down the goose and followed it to the front, followed by the rotten master, me and the old wine. I was worried about whether Lao Jiu's physical condition could go down, after all, age was there. Unexpectedly, I thought too much, although the old wine was old, but the body was very light, and one foot was firmly on the stone slab.

We walked very carefully along the way, first probing the front with our toes and then stepping on it. After walking a few steps, he fell into endless darkness.

I opened the wolf eye in my hand and shot it downward, and the beam of light was swallowed up by darkness. I don't know how deep it is.

No one spoke on the road, and everyone remained vigilant. I walked slowly down the wall of the well, keeping an eye on the old wine behind me.

Suddenly, the line stopped. I pulled the old wine over and asked loudly, "Why did you stop?" ”

The words of the rotten master came: "It seems to be the end!" His voice echoed in the small space.

There was a sound of rustling in front of me, I didn't know what Chen Ran was doing, and I didn't hear the cry of the goose. I was a little frightened, and my body began to tremble unconsciously.

I gritted my teeth and struggled to overcome the feeling. I found that the more nervous I was, the more I shivered, and then I adjusted my mindset, took a long breath and spit it out, and the situation was much better.

Lao Jiu should have also seen my discomfort, he kept patting me on the back to comfort me, and when he saw that I was getting better, he withdrew his hand.

After a while, Chen Ran's voice sounded: "There is a cave underground, everyone walk slowly." ”

With his words, the team began to move again. I don't know if it's because the space is too small, or because of my own psychological suggestion, but the winter is underground, and I actually break out in a cold sweat.

I walked a few steps before I stepped on the ground. I let out a long breath, and finally the tension disappeared.

Everyone was shooting around with flashlights, and I looked around, it was indeed a little wider than I expected, and even the four of us standing here did not seem crowded, and a faint gust of wind swept around us, suggesting the existence of other spaces.

In front, Chen Ran followed the footsteps of the goose and said to us, "Here." ”

When I looked at the place, the hole was very round, as if it had been dug the day after tomorrow, and it was so narrow that I had to bend down to get through.

Saying that, Chen Ran bent down and went in, and the rotten master was unloading his things and preparing to go in, but he put his head out of the hole and said to us: "You wait, I'll go to the front to explore the way first." ”

Then there was no figure, and the rotten master wanted to stop him, but he didn't catch up, so he had to wait anxiously at the entrance of the cave.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Ran's voice came from the front: "It's safe, you can enter." ”

Then we stooped down and walked in. As soon as I entered, my eyes were caught by a rock.

I saw a red character "Dan" written on the stone, and there were also symbols drawn around it, as well as several characters similar to lotus flowers.

Lao Jiu stepped forward to look at it, touched it and said, "This is the place of alchemy." ”

I also stepped forward and looked at Lao Jiu: "Since it's alchemy, why do you want to be in such a hidden place?" ”

Lao Jiu shook his head and felt a little strange, he said: "There is a Buddhist temple above, and there is a Taoist alchemy below, what is the connection between this?" After saying that, he took out his little notebook and wrote it down.

We were still struggling with the problem here, and Chen Ran suddenly shouted: ", I'm scared to death, come here!" ”

As soon as we heard that something was wrong, we immediately walked over. I saw a place where there were a lot of rocks, and there was a dry corpse sitting in the middle, and there was a Dan furnace next to it.

I swept over with a flashlight to see that he was dressed as a monk. This is even more strange, how can a monk know alchemy?

I strode forward, ready to take a closer look. Just as I was about to step into the rocks, the old wine grabbed me.

I turned my head to look at him puzzled, and he nervously explained to me: "I can't go, I can't go, this is a formation." ”

Hearing this, I quickly gathered my feet. Chen Ran also came over and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?" ”

Lao Jiu rolled up the small notebook and held it in his hand, quite the taste of Mr. Private School in ancient times, shook his head and said: "These chaotic stones look messy, they are really gossip arrays, and if you go in the wrong direction, you will lose your life." ”

The gossip array is rested, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and open the eight doors. This is a cave, and if it is a formation in itself, then what is in the middle of it? And what is it telling me? I thought to myself.

Chen Ran asked again: "How can this formation be broken?" Lao Jiu touched his beard and thought for a moment: "Enter from the "Shengmen" in the east, "Humen" in the southwest, and "open the door" from the north, this formation can be broken. ”

Chen Ran came to the front of the battle and looked at it for a long time, picking his head and looking depressed: "What are you talking about?" I didn't understand a word. ”

Lao Jiu didn't explain when he heard Chen Ran's complaint, just smiled, and then changed his face again. I opened my mouth to say something, but I didn't say it

I suddenly remembered that I hadn't left a mark for Brother Wu just now, and took out a marker pen from my bag to leave a mark on the wall of the well, but when I turned around, I found that the original hole was gone. The rotten master also looked at me: "Hey, where is the entrance to the cave?" ”

As soon as they said this, everyone looked over there, not knowing when the entrance to the cave was gone. I went over and knocked on it, and it was a stone door. I thought about it carefully, but I didn't have any image of Shimen.

I held my forehead and thought: It seems that I can't do it without breaking the formation this time.

I walked over to Lao Jiu, and while everyone was not paying attention, I whispered in my ear, "Lao Jiu, you didn't finish what you just said, did you?" ”

He seemed to have some appreciation for me and nodded: "I just looked away, this is a chess game." But I'm not sure either. ”

I'm a little ashamed, after all, I'm just a dead reader, I'm good at history and whatever, and I really haven't dabbled in chess. When he was at a loss, Chen Ran thought about it and thought about it, and said uncertainly: "I don't think this seems to be a gossip array, but a chess game." ”

His words attracted the attention of me and Lao Jiu, and I patted my head, forgetting about this Chen Ran, who likes to study the left side of the door. It's not that he is disparaged, but that he is really interested in those strange things.

Lao Jiu and I saw the plasticity on Chen Ran's body, and I pulled him over and said, "Come and see if there is a way to crack it." ”

Chen Ran observed carefully and said: "The game of this is to throw points, the movement of the chess pieces is determined by the number of points of the dice rolled, and the first player to move all the chess pieces off the board will win." ”

This piece is a backgammon, which means that there are six pieces on the left and right boards, and the number of points thrown determines the direction of the pieces, so there will always be dice. I counted them, and there was indeed one stone with seven sons, and the shape was different from the others.

I walked over and took a look, and found that the other six sons all had small lines underneath, but the one in front of me was not. Squatting down and taking a closer look, the stone is not very square, but it does have six points.

I called Chen Ran over for him to see, and he said he had to give him time to think about it. So we all took a step back and gave him enough space to think, but Chen Ran's next move made me a little confused.
