Book 1: Snow Ridge Maze Chapter 65: Qiankun Knife
After I caught up with Shanzi, Shanzi asked me first, and said in a tentative tone, "Brother Wu Nian, what were you talking about in the back just now?" God mysterious. ”
I smiled and said perfunctorily, "It's nothing, just a trivial matter for our brothers." Then immediately changed the topic, not giving Shanzi a chance to ask, "Shanzi, tell your people to be careful, just now my friend Uncle Jiu said that this cave is full of demonic spirit, don't take it lightly." ”
When I said the word "demonic energy", my tone was deliberately weakened a lot, because most people thought that the demon and monster theory was nonsense, and I was afraid that Shanzi would laugh at me.
But unexpectedly, Shanzi not only did not look at me with strange eyes, but agreed with Uncle Jiu's judgment very much, and only listened to Shanzi say, "It seems that your friend is not an ordinary person, looking at his extraordinary bearing, it can be seen that he is not shallow and is a master." Shanzi praised Uncle Nine again and again.
I smiled at Ying Shanzi on the surface, but in fact, I was thinking in my heart, "You kid is really not shallow, look at your water is really deep enough, and you actually know Uncle Jiu's Taoism at a glance." ”
After walking side by side with Shanzi for a short distance, I began to hear the sound of running water, which was very quiet, and sounded like a small spring gushing in the dark.
When Shanzi heard the sound of water, he agreed that the underground river of Mount Everest was flowing, which was good news for us, as everyone knows, where there is river flowing, there must be an outlet.
So we quickened our pace, and walked out of the cave in less than ten minutes, only to see that there was a huge space hidden in the hole, and the road in front of us had been broken, there was no way to go, in front of us was a cliff, and the cliff was dark directly below, and the bottom was not visible, and the wolf's eye flashlight could not shine on the bottom of the cliff.
Everyone looked down on the edge of the cliff, only to see that there was nothing in front of them except the darkness, and the bottom of the cliff was like a gateway to the underworld, deep and dark, and from time to time there was a yin wind blowing in the face, the wind was mixed with the smell in the previous cave, but it was certain that the sound of the underground river was coming from this cliff outlet.
I took a look at the four walls of the cliff with a wolf's eye flashlight, and found that there was a transparent layer of mica three points diagonally above our right, which was where we had seen the vault silver city earlier.
So it seemed that the vault silver city was around this cliff, so I hit a cold fire, and threw it towards the cliff, I wanted to explore the depth of this cliff, but to everyone's disbelief, we watched the cold light of the cold smoke and fire fall rapidly in the darkness, until the cold light disappeared from our sight into the darkness, and the bottom of the cliff was not visible.
I couldn't help but sigh, it seems that this is really an abyss, and there is no bottom in sight.
And Shanzi, who has been silent, is squatting on the edge of the cliff, touching the edge of the cliff with his hand from time to time, and then taking it to his lips and dipping it, and then picking up a few small gravel from his side and placing a figure on the ground, Shanzi is putting a gossip map, his actions suddenly surprised me, he is using time-sharing orienteering, I thought that only people who have watched "Hundred Ghosts and Evil Arts" understand, who has been like this Shanzi will actually be, who is this Shanzi and so on?
But the time-sharing orientation he uses is a bit special, I'm afraid that I'm just a little learned, and I read it wrong, so I approached Uncle Jiu and whispered to Uncle Jiu, "Uncle Jiu, do you see that Shanzi is using time-sharing orientation?" ”
Uncle Nine also replied with an incredulous expression, "That's right, but the time-sharing orientation technique he uses is the dragon search point point in the dragon vein crypt chapter of "Hundred Ghost Evil Arts", which is commonly used to find the entrance to the tomb." ”
Find the dragon point! Uncle Nine reminded me when he said this, I just used one glance and ten lines to read "Hundred Ghosts and Evil Arts" so I often forget the content inside, after Uncle Nine said this, I vaguely recalled such a passage in the book, the mountains and rivers are hidden in the dragon sand, yin and yang are combined to find the dragon vein, the dragon vein is not nothing, there is a distant look, there is no near look, the side view is dewed, the front look is blurry, and its ever-changing gossip is inseparable.
There is a saying in the book, dragon sand is a kind of soil and water quality, these terms in the book are dragon sand, yin and yang is time and wind direction, the thought in the book refers to the earth, mountains and rivers of the soil, water, wind, Chen, etc., but natural factors are closely related to the dragon vein, mutual influence, the ancients chose the tomb to see the dragon vein, and found the dragon vein by this dragon sand.
Shanzi should just be touching the water on the edge of the cliff, because there is an underground dark river under the cliff, which means that this place has five elements of water, judging the location of the dark river through the moisture of the water on the cliff, and the location of the dark river can be deduced The basic shape of the river, the shape of the river is formed by the direction of the dragon vein of the mountain and the river, then you can know the dragon vein, and it is not difficult to find the entrance to the tomb with the dragon vein, as long as it is combined with the gossip.
As soon as I figured it out, I looked around with a wolf's eye flashlight, these four rock walls, in addition to the cliff, there is a cliff in front of me, and the cliff surrounds the cliff and goes down, two forks on the way, at first glance there is nothing special, but in fact there is a hidden mystery.
There are clouds in the book, the mountains close to the water are the green dragon and Xuanwu, the mountains not close to the water are the white tiger and the vermilion bird, the left and right green dragons are against the white tiger, and the upper and lower seals are on the vermilion bird and the Xuanwu.
Here by the underground dark river is also water, is the dragon vein of the green dragon and Xuanwu, the green dragon is on the left, Xuanwu is below, the bottom left is the northeast direction in the bagua, and the northeast direction is almost in the direction of twelve to three o'clock on the time table.
Before I could find the specific location, Shanzi had already used a gravel in his hand to fall onto a rock wall at two o'clock in the northeast.
I have to admire Shanzi, it seems that he has eaten the secret technique of finding dragons and points thoroughly, and he can completely draw gossip to break the mystery.
Even Uncle Nine secretly praised Shanzi's dragon search point by my side, and he was completely out of his old man's house.
After finding the entrance, everyone moved to the opposite side of the corresponding Shanzi just stone, and hit the wolf's eye flashlight, which was about seven or eight meters lower than the cliff we are standing on, and the abyss in the middle is about ten meters wide.
When everyone looked at me and I looked at you, they were all worried about how to get to the other side, and Shanzi suddenly said, "Ah Wang, you and I jumped over." ”
What the! Sir, I heard you right, right? Jump over, what the fuck is this? I cursed in my heart, and Shanzi saw my concerns, so he shone a flashlight on the opposite rock wall and said, "You see that there are many cracks in the rock wall, don't you?" ”
I nodded, and Shanzi continued, "And the height on both sides is seven or eight meters, enough to jump to the opposite side." Besides, I've seen your skills, no problem. ”
Hearing Shanzi say this, I immediately understood, Shanzi wanted to use the principle of high-altitude parabola, I carefully watched the situation on both sides, spit on a mouthful of saliva, gritted my teeth and said to Shanzi, "Damn it, just do it!" You can do it, I'll do it. ”
After that, Shanzi and I each took out the ice axe from our backpacks, and then tied the hand that grabbed the ice axe with the ice axe with a medical bandage, so as to prevent the hand from falling into this bottomless abyss if we didn't grasp it firmly for a while, and then it would be useless for the Daluo Immortals to come.
Before leaving, Lan Xin grabbed me, and after hesitating for a moment, he still secretly whispered in my ear, "I warn you, don't fall to your death, the last night you drank at Commander Wang's house, what did you do after you got drunk, you haven't given an explanation." ””
Swallow also cares about me, let me be careful, seriously, even if I accidentally fall to my death, it's worth it, at least there are two beauties who care.
Shanzi asked on the side, "Are you ready?" ”
"Always ready," I gave a thumbs up.
The rest of the people gathered all the flashlights and illuminated them on the opposite cliff to illuminate me and Shanzi.
When the mountain took a few steps back, a sprint jumped over, I followed closely, after a sprint, I saw the position and jumped, gliding in the air for less than two seconds, I was already on the opposite side, and when I was about to hit the rock wall, suddenly I felt as if this scene was familiar to me, as if once upon a time, I also did this?
I put aside all distractions, picked up an ice axe in my hand, and slammed into the crevices in the rock wall, then put my feet on the protruding rock.
"Young man! It's really good, it's a good seedling. "The mountain next to me leaned against the rock wall and said this to me.
"What good seedlings?" I don't understand why Shanzi said this.
"Nothing, let's get to work!" Shanzi interestingly avoided my question.
At this moment, I heard the sound of rock cracking over my head, and I immediately looked up at the crack in the rock where my ice axe had been drilled, and I saw that cracks began to spread around the crack, and I secretly screamed in my heart, it must have been my pickaxe that had reached the entrance of the tomb.
Before I could change positions, I only heard a "boom", and all the rock formations that the ice axe had chiseled exploded all at once, and I slid down, and when my life hung by a thread, Shanzi shouted "Hand!" ”
I immediately stretched out my hand to Shanzi, and Shanzi grabbed it in time to save my life, and then I found a new rock as fast as I could and chiseled the ice axe in.
"Ngawang! How are you? The fat man on the opposite side asked anxiously.
After adjusting my posture, I responded with "It's okay!" Throw the climbing rope over. ”
According to the method we agreed in advance, after Shanzi and I got it done, the fat man used the climbing rope to find a solid rock layer, locked the rope with a climbing spike, and then tied a flashlight to the other end of the rope and threw it to me and Shanzi.
When the fat man was ready, he shouted at me, "Ngawang, catch." ”
Then I saw the pillar of light of the flashlight in the darkness rotating at a high speed of 360 degrees, flying straight towards me.
After I caught the rope, I used the climbing nails and threaded iron locks sent by the fat man through the rope to firmly fix the climbing rope, and then asked the fat man to slide over with the belt one by one.
Before the fat man and the others came, Shanzi and I had already cleared the hole into the tomb, because I had accidentally gouged a big hole before, so it was easy to clean it now, and Shanzi and I kicked off the remaining loose rock formations with a few big feet.
When they arrived, they plunged into the cave on the cliff, and in a short time they reached the other end of the cave.
What appeared in front of me was an abyss tens of meters high, but fortunately there was a dark lake under the abyss, surrounded by cliffs, and the only way to go down the abyss was to jump into the dark lake.
In order to ensure safety, I first threw a glow stick into the lake, and the glimmer of the fluorescent hand sank in the lake for dozens of seconds before hitting the ground, it seems that the depth of the lake is enough, but the area of the lake is not large, and I can only jump one after another.
Shanzi and one of them jumped down first, then Lao Jin, then Shanzi, and then me...... One after the other.
After everyone landed, we rested for a while, and during the break, I began to feel that this scene in front of me was so familiar, as if I had been here once upon a time.
Now we can clearly see the top mica layer that we looked at before the Dome Silver City, and the location of the Dome Silver City is very easy to identify.
After a cigarette, we continued to set off, and on the way, the fat man stumbled upon a skeleton under a cliff covered with stone thorns, but it was already a fossilized bone.
It is not difficult to see from the skeleton of this fossil bone that it is a huge animal, it is strange to say that it is an animal, it also has a pair of wings, and the skeleton is peculiar, not like a common creature on land.
Even more strange was that there was something on its chest that was extremely inconsistent with this bone, it was sharp, and it looked more like a stone thorn on this cliff.
No one could see what kind of creature it was, but Shanzi seemed to see a little eyebrow, only to see him take a closer look at it with a flashlight, and give the answer, "If I guessed correctly, this should be a creature from ancient times, called Qiqi!" And I guess it should be the knife in the neck that asked for this poor fate. ”
As he spoke, Shanzi pointed his finger at the neck of the bone fossil, and under the light pillar of the flashlight, he could really see a deep knife mark on the neck of the bone fossil.
I looked at the knife marks and saw that I was surprised, and Shanzi asked me curiously when I saw this, "What's wrong, Brother Wu Nian?" Do you have a different opinion? ”
"No, I just think this knife mark is familiar, as if I've seen it, and I see it often." When I said this, everyone also watched onlookers.
The fat man looked at it and said, "Ngawang, what kind of brain do you have?" Isn't this the mark of your scimitar, I think it is, I don't believe you can take it out and compare it. ”
As soon as the fat man said this, I immediately took out the scimitar with the broken handle from my backpack and compared it with the blade, which was really exactly the same.
"Qiankun Knife!" When Shanzi saw the knife, he was surprised and blurted out.
"Huh? What Qiankun knife? "I don't understand why Shanzi said this? Isn't this knife what I got from the mechanism of the haunted house, how did it become a Qiankun knife?
I looked at Uncle Nine blankly, Uncle Nine seemed to know something, but pretended to be calm and acted like he didn't know anything.
"Ngawang! Can you lend me your knife? Shanzi borrowed a knife from me, and after I handed the knife to Shanzi, Shanzi looked at it with a knife, and then said, "Actually, I haven't seen this Qiankun knife, but I have heard the older generation say this Qiankun knife, where did you get this knife?" Shanzi said and looked at me.
I was 1510, after telling the truth, Shanzi said, "I see, according to legend, 7,000 years ago, in ancient times, there was a demon man, carrying a sharpening iron like mud, subduing demons and subduing demons of the Qiankun knife, the blade of this knife is made of the ancestor of the Kunlun Mountain, the deep ground of the Kunlun Mountain, refined into steel, and the handle is made of Qiankun tube, and then the demon man disappeared for no reason, but he separated the body of the Qiankun knife from the Qiankun tube, passed it down, and waited for someone to reassemble it. ”
Shanzi said, with a long sigh, "It's a pity that the Qiankun tube heard that it later fell into the hands of Tao Hongjing, the founder of the Maoshan Sect, and since then the Qiankun tube has become one of the important tokens inherited by the descendants of Maoshan. ”
Shanzi said and looked at Uncle Jiu and asked, "Look at this eldest brother's lofty spirit, and there is a righteous and awe-inspiring aura between his eyebrows, dare to ask, but is he a descendant of the Maoshan Sect?" ”
Uncle Nine coughed lightly twice, nodded slightly, and then before Shanzi could ask the next sentence, Uncle Nine preemptively said, "You don't need to ask about the whereabouts of the Qiankun tube, it's on the kid next to you." ”
So I took the Qiankun tube out of my backpack and handed it to Shanzi.
After looking at it for a while, Shanzi said in a somewhat lost tone, "It's a pity that there is one thing missing." ”
I asked, "What is it?" ”
"Missing the Ugin Stone, a black stone with special runes." After Shanzi finished speaking, he couldn't help sighing, and when he was about to return the knife and the Qiankun tube to me, I promptly untied the necklace I had been carrying since I was a child from my neck and asked, "Is this it?" ”
After Shanzi took the appraisal, he was surprised and said, "Yes, yes, where did you get this chain of Awang?" ”
"This was originally a peculiar stone that my father brought back from Mount Everest when he was discharged from the army, and was later refined into a necklace by my uncle and carried it with me ever since." I asked, "What's the problem?" ”
"It's okay, I'm just curious." Shanzi said so, but his eyes were obviously thoughtful, and the way he looked at me was obviously different, as if he had a thousand words to say, but for some reason he didn't say anything.
After Shanzi took the necklace, he wrapped the necklace around the tongue of the knife, and then twisted it at a small twist at the other end of the Qiankun tube, and the Qiankun tube gave birth to a mouth, and then Shanzi inserted the knife body into the Qiankun tube, and then rotated it gently, only to hear a few clicks, like the sound of the machine locking.
"That's it! How about you try this knife now. Shanzi said as he handed me the knife.
I took the knife and swipped it in my hand, yes! The weight was just right, and I pulled out the blade with my hand, which was very tight and the seam was perfect, and I flicked it with my fingers, and the "bell" sounded straight, and the sound could not be dispersed in my ears for a long time, and then I swung two knives in the air, only to hear the "whirring" sound strong and powerful.
"Good knives." I couldn't help but sigh and like it from the bottom of my heart.
Shanzi patted me on the shoulder and said, "Good knife with hero, this knife should have been yours." ”
"Why do you say that?" Once again, Shanzi said something that puzzled me and was very incomprehensible.
But Shanzi didn't answer, just smiled softly, his smile made me feel that there was a lot of article in it, which reminded me of the last time in the ancient tomb of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the blood coffin was opened because of my blood, and at that time, Uncle Nine also asked me if I knew about the thousand-year-old curse, could it be that these two have nothing to do with me?
When I just wanted to continue to ask Shanzi, Shanzi seemed to see my doubts, but he didn't mean to answer, but just rushed ahead of me and said, "Let's go, I don't think this place is suitable for a long time, from this strange situation, there may be some ancient creatures in this place." ”
"This brother is right, the demonic spirit here is getting worse and worse, so it's better to retreat quickly." Uncle Nine also drove us away.
So the crowd continued to set off in the direction opposite the mica layer......
