Chapter 220: Harvest (Part 1)
Early in the morning of the second day, after a hurried meal of dry food, the 'Shangluo Sanxiong' couldn't wait to leave, and went down the mountain to recruit craftsmen happily, causing a shock and boiling in the town below the mountain.
Although the Quanzhen Ancestral Court has been destroyed by fire for hundreds of years, the prestige of the Quanzhen Sect is still spread in the mouths of the nearby people, and they revere and yearn for those fairy-like legendary figures, and they do some worship activities more or less every year, otherwise Lin Sha and his party will not find out where the ruins of the Quanzhen Ancestral Court are so easily.
At present, since someone has hired workers to clean up the ruins of the Quanzhen Ancestral Garden, and they are going to build a large number of buildings in the vicinity to establish a sect, the good men and women in the town are very happy, and the people who are poor and have nothing to live are even more happy, and even the local squire Baozheng was alarmed and took the initiative to contact the 'Shangluo Sanxiong' to discuss the employment of workers.
After Lin Sha sent away the three younger brothers, he brought enough dry food and ropes and other utensils, and turned around and walked towards the mountain behind Chongyang Palace.
Yesterday he had roughly figured out the direction, and today he easily rushed to the deep ditch, and made a big circle around the deep ditch along the nearby hills, directly bypassing the dense forest where he encountered a swarm of bees yesterday, and flew down from the cliff at the other end, and easily came to the huge earthen bag where the ancient tomb was located.
He first walked around the neighborhood and found that there were indeed no signs of human activity here, so he stood at the entrance of the ancient tomb that was tightly blocked by trees, weeds and vines.
Then he spent a little more effort polishing the sludge that had accumulated over hundreds of years on the wall of the ancient tomb door, and at a glance he saw the famous broken dragon stone.
First, I collected a handful of dead branches and rotten leaves and piled them under the broken dragon stone. Ignite the fire and burn the raging flames to dry and harden the sludge attached to the broken dragon stone, and then pour enough internal force into the blade surface of the long knife in his hand. With a concussive force, it slammed into the hard mud, and after a loud bang, the dirt splashed to reveal the swarthy true face of the Broken Dragon Stone.
The tip of the long knife gently slashed across the surface of the dragonstone. In the choking sound, sparks splashed on the broken dragon stone, leaving an inch-deep scratch, and the broken dragon stone was not as hard and stubborn as imagined.
Think about it, after hundreds of years of wind and rain, even steel has to corrode and become brittle, not to mention such natural boulders.
Drink!
Lin Sha stood in front of the Broken Dragon Stone, his nose was full of fishy rotten smell, and he suddenly let out a muffled voice, and the internal force in his body was rapidly circulating in the special meridian channel, and the power of the right palm implied that the power of Wudang's Mianzhang was lightly imprinted on the Broken Dragon Stone.
No sound came out, and nothing unusual appeared. Lin Sha was satisfied with the retraction of the palm, and then the wrist turned over the internal force of the internal force trajectory changed instantly, changing the cotton palm to the ancestral palm of the Lin family in Fujian Province.
Bang!
The gravel splashed and the dust was everywhere, and Lin Sha waved the wide sleeve of his left hand, and suddenly the gravel dust was swept away, revealing a deep pit the size of a head on the Broken Dragon Stone.
Seeing the effect, Lin Sha did not hesitate, and simply danced with both palms. One hand of Wudang cotton palm and the other hand of the Lin family's ancestral palm, only to hear the sound of the bang endlessly, the gravel is flying and the dust is filled, and the surface of the 10,000-jin broken dragon stone is concave inward at a speed visible to the naked eye. Lin Sha also slowly piled up a circle of gravel around his body.
In the eyes of a top master of the rivers and lakes like Lin Sha, the Broken Dragon Stone is really nothing.
Before he came, he had a doubt in his heart, did Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu really live in seclusion in the ancient tomb?
Guo Xiang's feelings for Yang Guo are not a joke. With her 'little East Evil' knowledge, has she really never heard of the location of the ancient tomb?
She searched all over the world and found no trace of Yang Guo, so she cut her hair and created the Emei faction for Ni.
Yang Guo's strength at the peak was only stronger than Lin Sha at this time. There is also a Xuantie heavy sword known as a divine soldier in his hand, and the ten thousand catties of broken dragon stone are not a fart in his eyes. As long as it takes a little time, it will only be faster and better than Linsha.
When Lin Sha saw the Broken Dragon Stone that had endured the vicissitudes of time, he realized that the hermitage of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu was definitely not an ancient tomb, and he couldn't guess where it was.
It took a full day, and the internal force in the body was almost exhausted, and only then did it blast out a narrow passage for one person to enter and exit on the Broken Dragon Stone, which was more than one meter long.
At this time, it was getting late, although he had enough tools with him, he did not rush into the ancient tomb to explore, but stuffed all the tools into the blasted passage, and covered the hole with weeds and vines, and then returned to the site of Chongyang Palace full of exhaustion and panting.
The ruins of Chongyang Palace have now become a large construction site, the ground is full of disorderly building materials and tools, some of the ruins of the palace have been cleaned up, some young and strong hired workers have set up a straw hut near the construction site to rest, and the rest of the people have stopped working early before the sun goes down and returned home.
Seeing Lin Sha come back, the 'Shangluo Sanxiong' came over to ask for merit and reward with an excited face, and Lin Sha did not hesitate to praise them, and asked them to make persistent efforts not to slack off, set up the shelves of the refining hall as soon as possible, and then eat, wash, and sleep.
Early the next morning, while a large number of townspeople had not yet gone up the mountain, Lin Sha got up early to have a hot breakfast, and after a few casual explanations, he would not go to the back mountain.
Picking up the cover on the broken dragon stone at the entrance of the ancient tomb, Lin Sha prepared enough things to ignite the fire, holding a lamp in his left hand and a knife in his right hand and slipped into the ancient tomb.
Black, really black!
When I first came in, it was fine, and I could see the road clearly with the light outside. But when he went deep into the main road of the ancient tomb, it was only about ten zhang away, and it was pitch black in front of him, and he could barely see his five fingers.
Light the oil lamp and continue to move forward, from time to time you can see one or two arrowheads or hidden weapons that have long been decayed and rusty on the ground, and you can faintly see the traces of the fight through the thick dust, which further confirms the guess in his heart that Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu did not return to the ancient tomb after living in seclusion.
Walking all the way along the main passage, I saw a stone room, so I opened the door and went in to take a look, some were empty, some were piled up with some debris that had changed color and decay, and some rooms had one or two weapons and so on.
The inside of the tomb is like a huge labyrinth, and those who don't know the details of it may lose their way after taking a few steps. Lin Sha was prepared, and every time he turned a corner, he would carve a number on the wall on his right, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, it was clear at a glance that he would not be confused.
He didn't know how long he had been wandering around the tomb, and when there was not much oil left in the oil lamp in his hand, he finally encountered the legendary trap of the tomb trap.
Shout!
At this time, he was walking in a relatively remote passage, and he did not know what he touched but heard a 'click' sound, and then two sharp arrows shot at once.
Choke! Choke!
Lin Sha waved the long knife in his right hand in the air, only to see two flashes of swords, and easily knocked the two sharp arrows to the ground, and when he raised the oil lamp, he saw that there were two short arrows with rusty wooden poles that had decayed.
Although such a hidden weapon that has been unmaintained for a long time does not pose a threat to him, it also reminds him to be careful, don't prevent the gutter and capsize the boat will not be beautiful.
It wasn't until the oil lamp in his hand was about to burn out that Lin Sha walked out of the dark and silent ancient tomb along the passage he had just walked through.
When I came out, I was shocked to see the sky, Nima's day was already noon, and I didn't expect that a single investigation would take a whole morning!
For the next five days, he kept exploring the ancient tomb passage, marking all the passages he walked through with numbers, and marking them in the simple tomb passage map he carried with him, just looking for the past one by one, the secret room with the cold jade bed, the room with the advanced martial arts of the ancient tomb school engraved on the roof, and the hall where the five coffins were placed at the core of the entire ancient tomb were searched out by him one by one, and the ancient tomb passage map drawn by himself in his hand was gradually improved, at least most of the ancient tomb passages were marked.
In the following three days, he found the mechanism in the fifth coffin, and followed the secret passage under the coffin to find the stone room where the fragments of the "Nine Yin True Scripture" were burned, and it took almost a whole day to record all the words that had been somewhat blurred after years of precipitation.
At this point, most of his purpose of coming to Zhongnanshan has been achieved.
The cold jade bed was a good thing, but he didn't move it all out of the tomb, he just cut a small piece with a sharp weapon in his hand, enough to make five futons. This is the treasure of the town sect that he intends to use as the refining hall, and if he wants to sleep as luxuriously as the ancient tomb, he can lie on it and dream.
While he was busy searching for treasures in the ancient tomb, the clean-up project on the site of Chongyang Palace was also in full swing. With a large amount of silver scattered and a large number of townspeople under the mountain to help, it took only five days to roughly clean up the entire Chongyang Palace ruins.
The busy work is over here, and the 'Shangluo Sanxiong' is not going to rebuild on the Chongyang site, but it doesn't take a long time and effort to clean up, to be honest.
However, the building next to the refining hall is more troublesome to build, but fortunately, there is enough manpower and there is no shortage of basic raw materials such as wood and stone around, and the foundation has been laid in just five days and the building has been built.
Lin Sha checked the progress of the project, praised the 'Shangluo Sanxiong', thought that the construction site on the mountain was too noisy, and the ancient tomb was too cold and lifeless, so he simply filled the tomb door to cover it up, and then took the Nine Yin Fragments of the Ancient Tomb Secret Book and Relics down the mountain, and slowly pondered the martial arts in the Nine Yin Fragments in the inn.
What he values most is naturally "Yi Muscle Forging Bones", this kung fu is like yoga, which has an obvious effect on exercising the body's bones and muscles, and can also play a part of the effect of washing the meridians and cutting the marrow, which can be said to be the most suitable martial arts for him to practice at present.
After carefully studying and pondering the content of the "Yi Jin Forging Bone Chapter", I was glad that the previous preparations were not in vain, and I felt that I had been upgraded from a semi-literate person to a cultural person when I looked at the Taoist words that were only a few hundred words in the whole text......
