Chapter 29 The Strange Jade Statue (Page 1/1)

On the night of the first day of the new year, the night was a little gloomy, a crescent moon hid behind the clouds, and the endless sky was like thick ink, so deep that it could not be dissolved, enveloping the entire mountain.

The climate of Qigao is not as good as that of the Great Zhou, which has entered December, but it is similar to the weather in September in the capital of the Great Zhou. At night, the leaves are rustling in the cool wind. The rivers and streams in the mountains are rippling with waves.

Yu Mingxi and Ruoping changed into night clothes and sneaked into the first line of the gorge.

The originally gloomy canyon is even more eerie at night, and the towering stone walls on both sides seem to be ready to fall down at any time, and when you pass through the narrow stone crevice, you have a strong feeling of breathlessness.

Yu Mingxi had already explored this valley in advance, and had a certain understanding of the situation inside, but despite this, it was not an easy task to walk through with a dozen iron bumps and a large bundle of leads. The two walked for almost an hour before they reached the other side of the lake.

Between the towering cliffs is a cave with obvious traces of artificial excavation.

"Be careful, there's a mechanism in here." Yu Mingxi lit the fire and whispered.

Ruoping walked in the footsteps he had walked, and he didn't dare to be careless.

It was only in front of the innermost stone door that Yu Mingxi stopped, and according to the information that Ah Ming gave him before, he turned the stone plate on the door.

The sound of "click" sounded, and Ruoping's heart tightened.

The time of a pillar of incense has passed, and Yu Mingxi's forehead is already oozing sweat.

"Can you do it?" Ruoping took a handkerchief and wiped his sweat.

Yu Mingxi tilted his head and glanced at her: "Remember, never ask a man if it's okay." ”

Ruoping was slightly stunned before he understood the meaning of his words, and his cheeks were suddenly stained with red clouds. Fortunately, the light in the cave was very dim, otherwise she really didn't know how to face this open-mouthed man.

Yu Mingxi leaned his head against the stone door, turning the stone plate while listening carefully to the movement inside. Finally, there was a sound of "Kata", and the stone door opened.

In front of him is a spacious hall, the ground paved with fine blue jade is smooth and recognizable, and the surrounding walls are regularly carved with many holes, and there is an ever-bright lamp in each hole, which illuminates the hall as bright as day.

Eight huge lacquered red pillars are supported all the way to the top of the cloud with sandalwood beams. Each pillar is carved with intricate patterns, which Ruoping has seen on the offering table of the goddess of Qubi Xia, which should be the totem of the Charon people.

On the ground in the center of the main hall is a large bagua-shaped stone step made of jade, and above the nine steps is a three-legged potbelly furnace. The furnace is glowing with a copper-colored glow, and in the center is a Bagua diagram, and two wings are listed on either side of the diagram.

On the long altar in front of the Bagua stone steps is a white jade statue with kind eyebrows. The stone statue is dressed in a small jacket and a brocade skirt, and a pair of bare feet stand on a lotus seat. Under the curved willow eyebrows are a pair of slightly slightly blistered eyes, a little vermilion dotted between the eyebrows, and the cherry red lips under the hanging gallbladder nose are slightly raised in a beautiful arc.

If you ignore the strange shape of the fork held in the right hand of the stone statue and a small flag held in the left hand, this image is very similar to the Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. It's just that this stone statue is a little weird no matter how you look at it.

On the altar is a ritual vessel that closely resembles the fork in the hand of the stone statue, and there is also a book written in the Chinese script.

"Let's get started." Yu Mingxi said in a low voice.

Ruoping nodded and observed the environment, no wonder Ah Ming asked to prepare ten wind and fire thunders, one on each pillar, and the remaining two were placed on the altar, which was just enough to blow up the entire hall.

She tied the wind and fire thunder to the lower end of the pillar, placed one on each side of the altar, put two more on the altar, and placed the rest in the place of the stone gate. Put on the lead and connect the lead cord again. Yu Mingxi let go of the rope a little bit, and the two retreated outside the cave.

According to the pre-measured length, the lead can be led all the way to the bamboo forest by the lake.

Yu Mingxi and Ruoping glanced at each other, took a deep breath, lit the lead rope with a fire fold, and then pulled Ruoping to quickly sweep into the bamboo forest.

The rope rattled like a letter spewed out by a snake, and the point of light with the line of fire rushed towards the cave at a rapid speed. The eyes of the two people moved closely with the point of light, and after the point of light entered the hole, Yu Mingxi took Ruoping's hand and shuttled quickly through the bamboo forest at a fixed pace.

The light skills of both of them were not weak, and they did not have the weight they were carrying when they came, and they were on the other side of the lake in just a few breaths. I heard a loud bang behind me, followed by a dozen continuous thunders, and the whole earth trembled.

"Hurry up!" Yu Mingxi held Ruoping's hand tightly, quickened his pace and rushed towards the first line of the gorge.

The mountains on both sides of the gorge are shaking, and stones fall from time to time. Fortunately, the speed of the two was fast enough, and they finally rushed out of the first-line gorge before the loud noise was over.

Yu Mingxi did not go directly out of the forest, but directly took Ruoping to jump up a big tree and hid his figure in the lush leaves.

The trees were very tall, and through the branches, you could see a group of people rushing out of the stockade in the distance, riding fast horses.

"The response was pretty fast." Ruoping muttered in a low voice, but was covered by Yu Mingxi behind him.

This action brought the two people squatting on the branch closer, and Ruoping was almost held in his arms by Yu Mingxi. The back is pressed against the solid chest, and the unique breath of a man lingers in the nose.

Realizing this, Ruoping was in a trance for a moment. It's a heart-pounding breath, but it's reassuring. For a while, I forgot about the situation of the two, and I just hoped to be in this arms for a while, even if it was good for another moment.

The sound of horses' hooves drew nearer, and the faces of the visitors became clearer and clearer under the light of the torches. At the head were Wazagha and several elders of the clan, followed by several young people from the village.

Amin was at the front of the line, running and running to the middle. The people in front of him were so anxious that they didn't have time to notice him at all.

Vazagha, the first to rush to the front, went straight to the first line of the gorge.

At this time, where can the first-line gorge still enter, the narrow mountain crevice has long been tightly blocked by the rockfall on the mountain.

"Patriarch, is it a landslide?" The person in front had already taken the reins of the horse, and an elder who was wandering at the mouth of the gorge blurted out.

"Quick! Move the stone out of the way! Vazagha no longer had the heart to answer other people's questions, and her eyes were red and dripping blood.

Several young men jumped off their horses and ran over to move the rocks at the mouth of the gorge. The first line of the gorge is so narrow that it can only be passed by one person, and it is so easy to remove all the rubble.

It took a while to move, but some of the gorge was cleared. Wazagha rolled over and dismounted, pushed a young man away, and went to move the rocks himself.

"Patriarch, calm down." An elder advised.
