Chapter 102: There is no cave
Thinking so, I still walked over and looked in the direction of Uncle Shi's finger, only to see more than a dozen bronze chains with the thickness of ankles entangled with each other to the top of the tree, saying that they were intertwined, but in fact, there were gaps between the chains.
I look at this structure a little familiar, but I can't think of it.
Where have I seen anything like this? After thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be, so have you ever seen such a graphic? It doesn't seem to be, and in my limited memory, I don't think there have been any shapes of this construction.
Since my uncle asked me to come and see it, he also said that he would test how many things I have mastered...... Could it be that the figure posed by these dozen or so bronze chains is a kind of dao array?
Along this line of thought, I quickly thought of a possibility.
It is a kind of Taoist technique recorded in the "Yellow River Road Classic", called "Longitudinal Cloud Ladder".
At that time, when I was reciting those Taoist scriptures, I specially asked my senior brother about two Taoist techniques that I thought were very strange, one was called "Heavenly Rope" and the other was "Cloud Ladder". The senior brother said that these two techniques are dedicated to ascending, and according to this method, you can use a rope or an ordinary wooden stick as a ladder.
I counted them, and there were thirteen of these iron chains, which happened to be able to use the Taoist method of "ninety-ninety-three, a few steps to the sky" described in the "Yellow River Dao Jing".
Of course, this coherent thinking was done in my head in one go, and it took less than a minute before and after.
"This can't be a 'ladder', right?"
After thinking of this, I was almost sure that the structure of these bronze chains was the "Cloud Ladder", and I was still a little proud in my heart, so I asked him with the usual expression of my uncle.
"Not bad! It seems that the senior brother's eyes are not completely blind! "Uncle Shi was very happy to hear me say the "Cloud Ladder".
"Then do you know how to use this 'Cloud Ladder'?" He asked me again.
I thought about it, and it seemed that there was no record of usage in those books, but looking at Uncle Shi's "good teacher" style, I didn't want to just admit defeat, so I replied casually: "Since it's a ladder, naturally go up step by step!" ”
Uncle Shi sneered.
"I don't know how to pretend to understand!"
Zhang Kailong and Chen Laosan would look at my face for a while, and look at Uncle Shi's face for a while, and the stunned expressions on their faces told me that they didn't understand a word.
Long story short.
Uncle Shi asked the three of us to follow him closely, and then walked up the bronze chain. I'm not exaggerating at all, that's really a step by step upward movement! I don't know how to describe the situation in words, we followed Uncle Shi to take a left step, a step to the right, and soon reached a height of more than ten meters from the ground, the evil door is that although we are walking on the metal chain that is inclined upward, but the body does not feel inclined at all, that feeling is really like walking on the gentle stone steps.
"Be careful not to bow your head, as long as you follow my footsteps, you will definitely not be able to fall!"
Uncle Shi's reminder, I quickly collected my thoughts, and stared at his steps with my eyes.
Those ten minutes or so were a very special experience! At first, I was a little scared, but after walking for a while, I found that it was so stable, and I was calm, but then I rose, and there was a feeling of soaring clouds.
The four of them seemed to be dancing Yangge, and in a blink of an eye, they reached the canopy.
When we came to the canopy, the four of us were stunned again, and in the center of the canopy, surrounded by countless branches, there was a very flat empty field.
I also thought that it was very spacious before, after all, it was such a big banyan tree, but I definitely didn't expect the tree to be so spacious, and the area was about the same as the square of our village, with 200 square meters.
In the center of the square in the canopy of this tree stands a small tower more than three meters high, which should also be bronze in color, and the thirteen bronze chains are connected to this tower.
"This should be the 'Demon Suppression Tower'! Your master once told me that the source of the Yellow River and the biggest secret in the Yellow River are under the Demon Suppression Tower. ”
With that, we walked over.
When I got closer, I saw that this so-called Demon Town Tower was similar to the tunzi of our village's grain, not tall but extremely wide, and it was a short and fat shape.
The whole tower body is bronze, has been rusted, the thirteen bronze chains are inlaid on the tower, the interface is integrated, there is not the slightest trace of welding.
We don't think it's strange that compared to the huge bronze door, this tower and the bronze chains are nothing more than magical.
There are also many strange totems carved on the tower, and I don't need to look twice to recognize these totems as the ones I have seen many times before.
"Why is it called the Demon Suppression Tower? Could it be that there is a suppression of monsters down here? ”
I also asked Uncle Shi casually, so as not to make everyone nervous and scared in such an atmosphere.
"I really don't know, fifty years ago, when we came here, my senior brother asked me to go to the river behind this big banyan tree to look for another thing, and then I also checked a lot of information, including asking a few worldly masters, but I found nothing."
Uncle Shi sighed, we Yellow River people are more familiar with the Yellow River, but all the information is from the era of Dayu's water control, there is no one in the Yu era, and all the ancient books about the Yellow River that he can find, the Dayu era also seems to be a boundary point, and the later ones are very detailed, and the previous ones are blank.
He originally thought that everything here was made by King Dayu four thousand years ago, but later learned that when Dayu came here, everything in this land was already like this, including the tens of thousands of graves and this huge banyan tree.
So he only knew that there was such a shape of bronze tower, called the Demon Suppression Tower, but who knew all this and why all this was made, Uncle Shi didn't know.
There is an arched door on one side of the Demon Suppression Tower, about three meters wide and two meters high, and inside the door is a layer of stone steps, extending downward, looking like marble.
Uncle Shi was about to step into the tower when he suddenly heard Chen Laosan shouting, "Who is Meng Fanzhong?" Who is Zhang Daoling? Zhang Sanfeng...... I seem to have heard of Zhang Sanfeng! ”
As soon as he heard Chen Laosan shouting like this, Uncle Shi was stunned, and hurriedly turned around and saw Chen Laosan staring at the side of the Demon Suppression Tower, and there were several names engraved on it. I have good eyesight, and I recognized it at a glance, and it turned out that Chen Laosan pronounced three of these seven or eight names.
After looking at it at a glance and seeing what was going on, Uncle Shi's face changed instantly.
