The Legend of the Immortal Part 1 Liao's Mysteries Chapter 23 The Gate of Heaven
"Don't be too happy!" Lao Liu's heart is moving, but there is still reason, even if someone in the Han Dynasty really came down, but first, it is a long time ago, and I don't know if the hole is still there, and second, even if the hole is still there, it must be dug in a corner, such a big cave, where to find a thief hole? Moreover, even if the hole can be found, how can it go up if it is dug on the roof of a house ten or twenty meters high like a thief hole when it comes down? "Qin Ye, you opened your mouth and closed your mouth Gu Tu, how much do you remember about that Gu Tu?" Thinking of this, Lao Liu Tou began to ask Qin Ge about the ancient picture, anyway, in his impression, he was upset when he looked at the dense ancient picture, how could he still have the heart to remember?
"I probably remember some!" Hearing Lao Liu Tou ask this, Qin Ge seemed full of confidence, he studied this picture if he had nothing to do, although he didn't study any doorways, but he remembered the details almost, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a passage on the rock wall in front!" At the scale on the map, it's about 50 meters, and then there's probably something like a staircase or a slope. Further up there is a hall, from where Gutu begins! So, it is likely that the people who came down from the Han Dynasty came down from there! โ
"So easy?" Old Liu Tou seemed to be a little unconvinced, and jumped to the bottom of the rock wall in three steps and two steps, and found that there was indeed a black doorway. The height is much wider than the "brick kiln door hole" on both sides, and it is higher, and the "iron bamboo road" on the ground is no longer at the door of the door hole, and it seems that it should be safe after entering the door hole.
"That's right! It should be here! Qin Ge followed Lao Liu Tou into the doorway, "From here all the way forward..."Before he could finish this sentence, Qin Ge froze on the spot.
"From here?" Old Liu Tou shone a flashlight on the front of the doorway, and glanced back at Qin Ge with a hippie smile.
"I want to... The passage may be below that! Qin Ge's tone seemed to be a little excited, and he looked forward along the flashlight, and the inside of the door was probably in the shape of an inverted bell, and the further he went, the more space there became. There is a stone wall on the left side of the twenty meters from the doorway, and there seems to be a square stone platform under the stone wall, the height is less than one meter, and the side length is about two meters, and there is no other passage.
"Be careful... Maybe there's a mechanism..."Old Liu Tou cautiously began to walk inside. Every step you take, you have to touch the wall and stomp your feet, so as not to have things like secret charms or traps, "There seems to be something here...", as the walk became wider and wider, Qin Ge walked on the other side of the passage, and also followed the example of Lao Liu Tou and kept stomping and touching the wall, at first it was nothing, but after touching it a few meters forward, he suddenly felt that there was a fine line on the wall that did not seem to be naturally formed, with previous experience, it should be a mural or inscription.
"Do you still have the heart to study that?" Old Liu Tou glanced at Qin Ge and continued to walk forward, while Qin Ge stopped in place and began to wipe the floating soil on the wall with his hands, "Strange..." At this time, Zhang Guozhong also followed, "Mr. Qin, what's wrong?" โ
"This dirt was deliberately put up! And it's not very long! Qin Yi said, "There are no murals or documents carved on the rock wall here, only here, the carving is very shallow, it seems to be very hasty, and there is a layer of soil on it, Yan sรจ is very similar to the rock wall, if I don't happen to touch it, it will be difficult to be found!" โ
"It's not dirt!" Zhang Guozhong also wiped the wall with his hand, then put his hand on the side of his nose and sniffed it, and looked at it carefully, it tasted like limestone powder, but Yan Sรจ was darker, as if it was mixed with something else. "The person who can use this thing is probably the one who stepped on a nail to come in!"
"Oh?" Listening to Zhang Guozhong say this, Lao Liu Tou also came over, at this time the stone powder on the wall has been wiped almost lightly, and several rows of crooked Han Yu are exposed, as expected, these Wenyu are not ancient characters, but modern traditional characters, each word is about the size of a child's palm, and the strength should be carved directly on the rock wall with a treasure blade, just like the old Liu Tou carved words in the tomb of the inverted Jinyu Pagoda in Egypt:
There is a danger in the pond that prevents people from going
It's not a miracle
The flesh is left with three inches of air
When I first saw the moon, my soul moved
Jasper stays until the red blood is washed
There is red mud in the Qingyan water stream
The digging was not intended
There is a way to ascend to heaven, and it is natural to leave
After reading all the poems, several people's heads invariably had a layer of cold sweat, looking at the literal meaning, the first four sentences are relatively easy to understand, roughly meaning: the pond is in danger, people can't get out when they come in, the poet came because of curiosity, and after coming in, he found that there was nothing, but he was seriously injured, and he knew that he would not survive that night. And the meaning of the last four sentences of this poem seems mysterious and unpredictable, making people scratch their heads, "Jasper stays until the red blood is washed, and there is red mud in the Qingyan water stream" These two sentences seem to involve some of the author's own ** problems, it seems that he has any grievances or deep revenge to revenge, and he is trapped here, somewhat a bit of a blind feeling, but the last two sentences "digging the grave three feet is not intentional, and there is a way to ascend to heaven" seems to be somewhat contradictory to the previous sentence, as if the author found some big secret in the cave before he died, which seems to be related to "ascension to heaven", So it's quite safe to die.
"Could it be... Do we really have to ascend to heaven here like this old brother? Old Liu Tou frowned and sighed, he really hated himself at this time, now the big guy is trapped here, it has nothing to do with him, if he listened to Zhang Guozhong when he came down and went back to think about it in the long run, there might not be this scene at this moment. And Zhang Guozhong thought that it was indeed his son Zhang Yicheng, if he hadn't gone up for too long, that kid would not be afraid to come down to find him, wouldn't it be self-defeating?
"I don't believe I really can't get out..."Qin Ge was quite calm, Bi Jing so far, this cave seems to be much safer than the treasure cave of the Later Jin Dynasty, "According to the mark on the ancient map, the route here is not very complicated!" The painters of the Han Dynasty not only retreated, but also touched the detailed structure of this place! After that, Qin Ge didn't bother touching the wall and stomping his feet, and strode to the edge of the stone platform, "Look, it should be possible to go down here!" โ
Although the poems on the wall are quite tragic, what Qin Ge said is not unreasonable, so everyone still has a little hope, and when they heard Qin Ge say this, they rushed to the edge of the stone platform like a swarm.
The stone platform is surrounded by four square stones, there is a square passage with a black hole in the middle, don't look at the side length of the stone platform, let alone two meters long, but the passage in the middle is not spacious, at most one meter square, there are steps in the passage, but it is very steep, shine down with a flashlight, "sparkling, as if there is water." There is a blocked water hole above the stone platform, the water hole is not large, depending on the angle, the water flow should flow to the inside of the channel before it is blocked. Above the eye of the water, there are two small seal characters: Tianmen.
"Heavenly Gate..."Old Liu Tou stared at these two words thoughtfully, "The poem just now wrote: 'Ascension to heaven has a way to naturally leave'..., what does the ascension he refers to have to do with this 'Heavenly Gate'?" โ
"Whatever..."Zhang Guozhong drew his sword and was about to go down the passage.
"Slow!" Lao Liu grabbed Zhang Guozhong. "The bare-bottomed one just now, and the thing with the iron chain, if it hadn't turned around, it should have gone down from here..."Speaking of this, Old Liu Tou pulled out the pistol from Qin Ge's waist. I'll go first! โ
Zhang Guozhong had also heard of the power of the "red nitrate sandwich bullet", so Lao Liu Tou wanted to take the lead, and he didn't stop him, and followed Lao Liu Tou with a sword and went down the hole.
The water in the cave was not just above the foot like the altar, and it didn't reach the waist after just a few meters, but fortunately, the water seemed to be only waist-deep, and the bottom of the passage was much wider than the entrance. It's about two meters wide, so it's not a hard way to walk. "It seems that the waterways on the edge of those underground caves outside are connected to this heavenly gate, and the water holes above are the water sources for replenishing water for these underground caves!" After going down the cave, Zhang Guozhong found that there were black holes above the water surface on both sides of the cave wall, about the size of a rat hole, and he shone it into it with a flashlight, and it was bottomless, "The ancients were really fucking capable, senior brother, how did you dig these holes?" โ
"You haven't seen anything more evil..."Old Liu Tou said, "The Egyptians dug a river under the desert, how do you say it was dug?" โ
"Zhang Zhangjiao, I want to ask you a question..."Qin Yi has been following Zhang Guozhong with a heavy heart, and suddenly spoke at this moment, "I have studied the history of Taoism, Taoism pays attention to ascending to heaven, that is, becoming an immortal, do you think, can people really become immortals?" โ
"Mr. Qin, there are no real immortals in the world." Zhang Guozhong turned around and smiled.
"Why?" Qin Yi couldn't believe his ears, the priests and priests in the West all firmly believed in the existence of God, and Zhang Guozhong, who was the head of a sect, actually said such a sentence, which had to surprise Qin Ge, who was deeply influenced by Western culture.
"If you kill someone in the city, there will be jวng cha to arrest it, and if you kill someone here, who will catch it?" Zhang Guozhong said.
"No one caught it!" Qin Ge said.
"That's what religion does!" Zhang Guozhong smiled, "Christianity teaches people to have love, and after death, they can go to heaven, otherwise they will go to hell." Buddhism teaches that if one does more good deeds, one can reach the Western Paradise after death, or receive good retribution in the next life. Taoism is the same, any religion is kind to people, he teaches people that no matter when and where, even in this barren mountains and mountains, there will be a pair of eyes watching you! In fact, the so-called immortals are in everyone's own heart! โ
"Zhang Zhangjiao, it seems that you are not only a Taoist person, but also a philosopher!" After listening to Zhang Guozhong, Qin Yi couldn't help but nodded, "But there are many legends about the ascension of Taoist priests, and there are many real people in history!" โ
"Mr. Qin, in fact, the so-called ascension of Taoism refers to the realm of thought, just like the Buddhahood of Buddhism..."Zhang Guozhong said, "The most valuable wealth left to us by our predecessors is not what magic weapon is the treasure, but thought!" The reason why Mu was worshiped by later generations is because his thoughts have influenced generations of believers, and Taoism is the same. He himself is not a Taoist priest, and he has not invented any Taoist techniques, which in later generations are all caused by the experience and wisdom of capable people in the past generations! And what guides these Taoist techniques to benefit the people of Li is Lao Jun's thoughts! โ
"Zhang Zhangjiao, according to what you say, the so-called 'ascension' in the poem is not real?"
"I can't say this well, Mr. Qin, there is only a line between immortals and demons, and his abilities are very great, the key is whether he uses these skills to do good or bad things..." Mr. Qin, some people pray to God, it is Yu Cheng's belief, but some people don't understand religion, but they also bow down to Yu Cheng, all because of selfishness, hoping that someone will bless themselves, and even say that the underworld will ask to worship the gods before robbing a bank.
Mr. Qin, do you think the gods will bless the people who rob the banks? Even if you succeed in doing bad things, is it really the gods who are blessing? โ
"Zhang Zhangjiao, you mean that people who write poems may become demons?" After hearing these words, Qin Ge couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Hearing Zhang Guozhong say this, not only Qin Ge, but even Lao Liu Tou was beating the drum in his heart, "Guozhong! I said don't scare yourself! I think that line of work may be looking at some inconsequential records in ancient times, and I have gone mad! If you really want to become an immortal, you can't be in this kind of place! Since he has the Iron Bamboo Array, he must know this! โ
As he was talking, there was a sudden noise on the water not far ahead, like a big stone falling into the water, and the frightened old Liu Tou immediately raised his pistol, and within a few seconds, the water waves were transmitted to the place where everyone stopped.
"What... What people!? "Old Liu Tou's voice trembled a little, there is a lot of water in this passage, in case there is something, even if it is a huge broadsword, the power will have to be discounted...
