Chapter 31: The Cycle of Cause and Effect

At the end of the tunnel is a station, with several old trains, loading platforms, huge turntables for dispatching trains, and even now, it is no easy task to build such a huge project hundreds of meters underground.

As far as I know, the little devil built this station back then, mainly to transport things underground, and as for what exactly was transported, it was not thoroughly investigated back then, and there is no way to verify it now.

Compared to the station, what is really huge and complex is the cobweb-like maze behind the station.

It is said to be a labyrinth, but in fact, it is also a military station and a warehouse, and the Japanese onmyoji participated in the design and construction, integrating the Japanese concept, and I don't know the exact route, even if I am proficient in the gossip of the nine palaces, I will be lost, which is why Dongfanghong has repeatedly begged me to lead the way.

In fact, it was a very funny thing for a Holy Realm Earth Master to beg a sword man to lead the way.

But here, he must beg me.

The situation in the labyrinth is very special, the corridor is made of giant granite, thick enough to isolate sensory exploration, the geomagnetism is also disordered, the compass has completely become an ornament, all the paths look the same, and there are designs such as the Hanging Soul Ladder and the Ghost Wandering Hidden in it, if you don't know the song, whoever comes in will be confused.

However, there are no weird traps here, probably because many ordinary Japanese soldiers have to go in and out of this place frequently, and designing things that ordinary people can't understand is tantamount to asking for trouble.

I took them around inside, wearing down Dongfanghong's patience.

If people are impatient, they are always more likely to make mistakes.

But I'm also counting the time, because I'm going to finish it all before it's over.

After about an hour of wandering, Dongfanghong was already breathing, constantly urging me.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the surrounding cookie-cutter environment changed, and a huge cavern appeared in front of us.

It is an underground space with a curved dome, about the size of a football field, and the highest point is seven or eight floors, with intricate ukiyo-e carved on the dome and gray and black carbonized stone bricks on the ground.

From the entrance where we stand, there is a square tens of meters long in front, the square is covered with totem poles in the shape of a Chinese table, there is one every twelve steps, and most of the carvings on it are rare birds and beasts that are only found in the Book of Mountains and Seas and the Book of Searches.

All the totem poles are evenly distributed in the square, and the circuit diagram-like character patterns carved on the floor tiles are matched together, just like the mysterious and primitive tattoos of the ancient demon gods, which makes people feel a sense of fear in their hearts at a glance.

Passing through the totem pole square, there is a building similar to a Japanese shrine in front of it, but at this time the shrine has been blown down, and on the original site, a giant pillar of the dragon and the sky rises from the ground, and the peak almost reaches the dome, and the majestic momentum makes people feel awe.

It was also the first time I had actually arrived here, and I was secretly amazed to see such a large and complex underground structure.

But Dongfanghong was overjoyed, couldn't help but run to the square to turn left and right, and from time to time took out a magnifying glass to carefully study those totem poles, and exclaimed while looking: "Look at it, this is simply a miracle!" ”

Xie Zhijian and I didn't have his excitement at all, we just followed him and stopped.

It wasn't until we approached the giant pillar in the middle that we stopped.

I glanced at Xie Zhijian, handed Xu Yujia to him on his back, and I followed Dongfanghong to the back of the stone monument.

"This is the stele you've always wanted?"

Dongfang Hong nodded excitedly: "That's it." Do you know that back then, for it, the leader of my Great Xuankong Sect worked hard and exhausted, and finally ran out of oil and died here, causing the core inheritance to be lost for more than 70 years! ”

I couldn't help but be surprised: "The price that Da Xuankong paid back then was so heavy? ”

"It's not so bad, it's bloody! Nominally, it is the Xuandao Buddha teaming up, but in fact, it is not for me to charge into the battle with Feng Shui Qimen, those fake compassion and fake benevolence and righteousness, it is just a matter of not working hard, but it is hateful that they even fell into the well afterwards! ”

I have heard of this matter, and the Great Xuankong Sect has been repeatedly excluded and suppressed by the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism over the years.

On the surface, it seems that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was the situation that cracked down on feudal superstition, and it was the trend of the times.

But the fact is that the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism are frantically expanding their power under the cloak of legitimate religion, trying their best to squeeze the living space of the Xuanmen, and want to carve up the cake occupied by the Xuanmen. Otherwise, how could an ancient discipline like Feng Shui, which combines complex knowledge such as practical science, psychology, astronomy, geography, and astrology, be labelled as feudal superstition?

It's a pity that once the original three-legged situation was broken, it was out of control, and now although the Great Xuankong Sect is still the leader of the Feng Shui Qimen, its momentum has long been much worse than before. Without the immortal realm, anyone can be bullied, and they have suffered a lot.

"Not only your faction, if you talk about it in detail, there are eighty-one lines of Xuanmen over the years, which line is not full of grievances and bitterness!"

Speaking of this, I looked at him with a smile: "It is precisely because of this that we in Xuanmen should be in the same boat even more!"

Dongfang Hong also smiled when he heard this: "That's exactly how it should be." ”

I cursed in my heart, the one who went to Nima should be like this, and the smile was more fake than Abe.

You know that I am a Xuanzi, and you still help the Daomen to make a black hand to Lao Tzu!

When you collect the money, why don't you remember the dispute between the Dao and Xuanmen, and why don't you remember the love of the same Xuanmen.

But no matter what I thought, I pulled out my phone and handed it to him.

"Your old phone is gone, just take a picture of mine. Rest assured, my phone is pretty good at taking pictures. ”

While he took over the phone, I hooked up with him further.

"You are an elder, I will take the liberty of calling you an uncle, in fact, you should have told me about it a long time ago, I am a junior of Xuanmen, and I am the landlord of this part of Dongning, I already knew that you always had this hardship, I don't need you to tell me, I will do it for you myself."

Maybe it was because I said this kindly, Dongfang Hong was slightly moved, but then calmed down.

"I'm really going to ask you a favor."

As he spoke, he handed the phone back to me: "Help me take a photo with this town spirit monument." ”

"No problem, but you haven't photographed the stele yet, why don't you shoot the stele first?"

"Hehe, you shoot first."

"Nacheng, you come and stand up."

The two of us went around to the front, and Dongfang Hong stood in front of the monument with his hands in his hands, and his already sparse white hair was windless.

"If you want to shoot the entire stone tablet, you stand far away and take pictures, Xiao Xie, don't block it here, go to Xiao Yang's side."

Xie Zhijian stepped aside as he said, and I turned on the flash of my mobile phone here, and took a few photos of him carefully.

"Well, how about you keep looking, if you can't I'll shoot you again." As I spoke, I walked towards him.

He squeezed his goatee and smiled: "This is not in a hurry, the so-called help to the end, Xiao Yang, can you help me again?" ”

I stopped and narrowed my eyes: "Let's hear it first." ”

"There is a mystery in the Zhenling Monument, if you want to see all the inscriptions, you need to use human sacrifices, and the blood that spurts out of the cavity of the living can stimulate the divinity in the monument ......"

As he spoke, he took out his compass, which already glowed with a faint red glow.

"Why don't you lend your blood to your uncle?"

Before I finished speaking, the stone bricks under my feet emitted bursts of scorching heat, and I felt as if the soles of my feet were stuck to the ground by 502, and there was an irresistible suction force coming from under the floor tiles, making my body extremely heavy and unable to leave the ground with my feet.

With me as the center, the totems on the four positive positions and four deviations around them lit up with a strange dark red in a click, and there seemed to be pus and blood flowing between the grooves of those totems, which were dim, but they exuded the unique fishy aura of bloodthirsty beasts.

These totem poles in eight directions are the ones he touched with his own hands when he pretended to be surprised and walked around.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but laugh.

I actually tried to impress him to give up his evil thoughts, and it seems that I was still too naΓ―ve.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this."

I didn't hurry to pull out the knife tube, and a breathtaking aura erupted, and the Seven Weapons rose to the sky.

The low whine of the Soul Whistle echoed again.

is as strong as Dongfang Hong, and when he hears this voice, he can't help but change color slightly.

Of course, I know very well that what really makes him change color is not the weapon, but my attitude.

He obviously didn't expect that, instead of begging for mercy as he had imagined, I drew my sword and went straight to me.

But he quickly returned to normal, smiling and nodding with his beard: "I should have thought that you kid was not so easily fooled." ”

When he said this, Xie Zhijian, who was stunned on the side, finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly ran to Dongfang Hong, shouting as he ran: "Old Hong, what are you doing here!" You ......"

Dongfang Hong gently shook the compass in his hand: "Idiot, stay aside!" ”

With the shouting, a floor tile under Xie Zhijian's feet suddenly warped.

He was already flustered, and while he was running, he was unexpectedly turned on his heels, and rolled to the ground with Xu Yujia on his back, and I don't know if Dongfang Hong moved his hands and feet, or happened to hit his head, and actually lay on the ground and didn't move after a muffled snort.

And Dongfang Hong sneered at me, and the originally kind eyebrows and eyes looked gloomy and vicious at this time.

"Didn't Yang Zhen tell you that if you meet the Great Xuan Empty Earth Master one day, you should run as far as you want?"

This was completely unexpected, listening to what he meant, it turned out that he beat my master's generation and made an enmity with them?

I clicked my mouth twice and thought about it carefully: "I haven't heard of it, I guess my master shouldn't treat you as a dish." ”

Dongfang Hong's old face became even more gloomy: "If he hadn't taken advantage of the fire to rob and snatch Lu Han's corpse eye, I would have already explored the immortal realm, why would I go into this hole like a rat and participate in the study of this town spirit monument!" ”

Now it's my turn to blush, dare to love is the old blacksmith's sin, sow the cause, and if it doesn't bear fruit, people will find me on the head.

Lu Han, I naturally know that it is a mercury body that has been lurking in Beijing and Tianjin for more than ten years, picking up sewers and hiding, lying day and night, injuring nearly 100 people, evading the search and arrest of the Xuandao powerhouse again and again, I didn't expect him to be guarded, and finally fell into the hands of my master.

But I guess my master didn't know whose Fulu he robbed until the end, otherwise he wouldn't have never mentioned Dongfanghong.

Listening to the resentment in Dongfanghong's tone, it was obvious that he didn't intend to let me go from the beginning.

Regardless of Lu Jun's commission, whether I can satisfy him or not, he will never let me see the sun outside the mountain again.
