For the sake of safety, Zhang Guozhong did not venture out of the hole, but put a flare into the "big opening" outside the cave in advance. Under the strong light of the flares, Zhang Guozhong took a look at the big hole inside, it turned out that the spatial size of this cave was far less than the "Rock Pond", and even smaller than the "lobby" of the treasure cave in the Later Jin Dynasty, and the underground lake where the statue was located was not as large as imagined, and the visual area was not even a thousand square meters.

"Didn't you say this is bigger than that 'Bang Pond'?" When the strong light of the flare was not extinguished, Lao Liu Tou also drilled out a small hole.

"I don't know why I feel that way...... Zhang Guozhong kept looking around with a flashlight, "Senior brother, have you found out?" The stone walls of this...... It seems to have grown a layer of something! ”

"Got a layer of something?" Lao Liu Tou shone it with a flashlight, and saw that there was indeed a layer of black hawthorn on the rock wall behind him, "What can this look like?" Moss? ”

"Moss?" At this time, Qin Ge and Dashou Liu also drilled out of the stone cave, simply put a high-power searchlight at the entrance of the cave, turned on the power, and a beam of strong light rushed straight to the top of the cave, only to see that the rock wall on the top of the cave seemed to have a layer of the same thing.

"This is not moss, moss can't be born in this place!" Zhang Guozhong stretched out his hand and wiped it on the stone wall behind him, feeling that his hands were wet, as if he had wiped a handful of rotten cotton, he put it in front of his nose and smelled it, there was no smell, "The first time I came, I didn't find this ......"

"So, this thing is the ...... you grew up after you left?" Old Liu frowned, and also reached out to wipe it on the rock wall, and took a careful look at the palm of his hand with a flashlight, "What the hell is this?" How much can it grow in two or three days? ”

"It's possible that it was there before. I didn't notice it the first time I came! Zhang Guozhong said.

"This is supposed to be a fungus plant!" At this time, Qin Ge also noticed what was growing on the wall, "In the Maoshan Technique, there is only one kind of fungus plant that can grow in this kind of place!" ”

"What?" Old Liu was stunned.

"Rush grass!" Qin Ge smiled slightly, it seems that this person has indeed studied the Maoshan technique for a long time, and he can even recognize the "rush" that even Lao Liu Tou and Zhang Guozhong don't know. "Don't you know?"

"Rushes?" Zhang Guozhong's heart moved, he heard Dai Jinshuang mention this thing back then, according to the understanding of the old man Ma Sijia of Maoshan back then, this thing has the effect of spreading resentment, and the Japanese 'Peace and Co-prosperity Society' also used this characteristic of rush grass to create a plague in the Xuzhou War Zone, could it be that the Japanese have entered this hole?

"Rush grass!? Could it be ...... Really...... That array? Old Liu's voice seemed to tremble a little. Guozhong, hurry! Where's that statue you're talking about? ”

"Right in front of us!" Following the direction of Zhang Guozhong's finger, Qin Ge adjusted the angle of the searchlight, only to see a black shadow standing gloomily in the water, very terrifying under the cold blue light of the searchlight. "Senior brother. What kind of array do you say? ”

"This hole has nothing to do with Zhao Jinzhou!" Old Liu Tou didn't answer Zhang Guozhong's question, but raised the seven-star sword in his hand and walked cautiously towards the statue, "Zhao Jinzhou is a disguise!" This array is not for him! ”

"Brother Liu, if there is any situation, use this to cut!" Zhang Guozhong handed the Juque Sword to the big hand Liu, and he picked up the Qingtai Sword and followed behind the old Liu, "Senior brother." What do you mean by that? ”

"Guozhong, did the master tell you back then that there was a 'Hundred Steps Soul Returning Array'?" Old Liu Tou said.

"Nope!" Zhang Guozhong looked around and didn't seem to move. "Why is it called the Soul Returning Array? Rejuvenation? ”

"Wrong!" Old Liu Tou said, "The key to this town is not to return to the soul, but to Baibu!" ”

"Hundred steps?" Zhang Guozhong subconsciously looked around, a hundred steps are about a hundred meters long, and the diameter of this cave is really about the same at this time, "What is this array for?" ”

"Cheng ...... Immortal! Old Liu said word by word. Zhao Guanshan*, have you heard of it? ”

"Zhao Guanshan!?" Zhang Guozhong was stunned. The sword in his hand almost didn't fall to the ground......

The biggest goal of cultivating truth and entering the Tao is nothing more than "becoming an immortal". In addition to the traditional theories of cultivating immortals such as "cultivating truth" and "alchemy", there is also a widely recognized theory of becoming immortals is "ten virtues for immortals", which means that the good people of the tenth world can cultivate immortal fruits, this statement is tantamount to greatly reducing the threshold for becoming immortals, and the implication is that even ordinary people, as long as they are good people for ten lifetimes, they can also become immortals, as far as the cultivation circle at that time is concerned, this statement is undoubtedly crazy and very "reactionary". Its nature is almost like the theory that "you can go to heaven if you don't believe in Jesus" in medieval Europe, but the person who put forward this crazy theory is the legendary Zhao Guanshan.

After putting forward the "crazy" theory of "ten lives as immortals", Zhao Guanshan began to confirm this theory under pressure from all sides, but how could a person use the life of one life to confirm the results that would happen after the "tenth life"? Just when the whole Daomen was paying attention to Zhao Guanshan's experimental results with the mood of watching jokes, this Zhao Guanshan actually announced that this theory had been verified, and invited more than a dozen Daomen pillar-level figures, including his teachers Xiao Baozhen*, Wang Chongyang*, Li Xianzhen*, etc., to go to Cangyan Mountain to watch the fruit, three months later, these more than a dozen Daomen masters affirmed Zhao Guanshan's experimental results without exception, and unanimously gave the conclusion that "it is reasonable, irrefutable", which means that this is indeed the case, and there is nothing to discuss.

When the news came out, the Daomen were shocked, and everyone was shocked that this ridiculous theory turned out to be true, and secondly, they were surprised that Zhao Guanshan was really able to verify what happened after the tenth generation in a short period of time and was unanimously approved by these Daomen leaders.

In addition to being shocked, the rivers and lakes were also speculating about Zhao Guanshan's "experimental methods", and even Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, who was unanimously obsessed with Taoist research at that time, did not hesitate to issue an edict three times to announce that Zhao Guanshan entered the palace to see what was going on, but he never found Zhao Guanshan himself.

However, at this time, in stark contrast to the commotion of the outside world, it is the tight-lipped grandmasters who were invited to leave the scene, these people are obviously unwilling to disclose the details, the reason is without exception "the shortcut to the non-Tao, not to the true cultivation of the Tao", the implication is that Zhao Guanshan's experiment is indeed able to prove that "the tenth world is an immortal" is a shortcut to become an immortal, but the experiment itself should not become an excuse for people in the Daomen to be opportunistic. It only takes a few months of cultivation to complete the deeds of the tenth life, who will still cultivate the Tao in the future? Of course, this is just the words of these grandmasters, and later generations have even speculated that these grandmasters may have only seen the "test results" and not seen the test process with their own eyes, and some "angry youths" even guessed that these grandmasters and sages were likely to watch the test process from beginning to end, but the level was limited, and no one understood it, and they were embarrassed to say that they couldn't understand it, so they were forced to recognize Zhao Guanshan.

All in all, until the end of these grandmasters returned to the immortals one by one, Zhao Guanshan's specific method of verifying the theory of "ten virtues for immortals" was always a mystery.

According to legend, soon after the theory of "ten evils for immortals" was verified, Zhao Guanshan took advantage of the victory to pursue and put forward the supporting argument of "ten evils for demons", just like Chen Jingrun first confirmed "1 + 2 = 3" and then hit "1 + 1 = 2" again, but unlike the theory of "ten evils for immortals", "ten evils for demons" did not get as strong verification as the former in the end, and even Zhao Guanshan himself disappeared from the rivers and lakes after putting forward this conjecture. However, because the theory of "ten evils for immortals" has been verified, although "ten evils for demons" is still in a state of "conjecture" until now, it has been put together with "ten virtues for immortals" and has been passed down as a formed theory for thousands of years.

"Hundred-step Soul Returning Array, could it be the formation that Li Guanshan experimented with?" Zhang Guozhong has almost guessed.

"That's all it said!" Lao Liu Tou said, "This name is the late Qing Dynasty Longhu Mountain's Youfang Sanren Tong Kuzhan, Daoguang in the Daoguang period when he found a cave when he traveled Cangyan Mountain, there is an inscription poem on the rock wall of the Taiyi sect ancestor Xiao Baozhen, it is clear that Zhao Guanshan verified the cave of the 'Ten Generations as an Immortal', the cave is a hundred steps in circumference, it should be similar to this hole, and the cave is the same as here, there is also water, and there are a lot of 'rushes'!" ”

"That cave also has a statue and a pool of dead jade?" Zhang Guozhong asked.

"I haven't heard of that!" At this time, Lao Liu Tou had already walked to the statue, "If this cave is also covered with a 'Hundred Steps Soul Returning Array', then the secrets should be in this statue!" After that, Lao Liu Tou put the seven-star sword behind his back, took out his flashlight and began to look for it inch by inch on the statue.

"Senior brother, what are you looking for?" Seeing that Lao Liu Tou was looking for the jade piece of "jade clothes" with his hand, Zhang Guozhong couldn't help but follow a piece to find it, but he didn't know what to look for.

"Fool, this statue can't be a solid iron lump!" Old Liu Tou said, "There must be something inside, and it must be put in after the statue is cast!" I'm looking to see if there's a secret door or something, I can put something in it! ”
