Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly approached the stone wall, and carefully scraped off the moss on the text with a peachwood sword, and the words on it were immediately legible, and they were clearer than the poem just now, obviously engraved later. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info sugar hua is updated quickly, the website page is refreshing, there are few advertisements, and I like this kind of website the most, so I must praise it. The update is so fast.

It is still a big seal text, the handwriting is neat, Wu Zhiyuan carefully identifies it, and there is such a poem written on it: "People don't know for a thousand years, and the peach blossom spring rises and the door of the cave is closed." ”

The meaning of this poem is also relatively easy to understand, the first half of the sentence "Take a break for a thousand years people don't know" and just read the poem "I came to get drunk and lie down for three thousand years, and I am glad that no one knows the world", which means that this person has lived here for three thousand years, and no one has ever seen him. In the understanding of the ancients, the millennium can refer to a thousand years, and more often refers to thousands of years, and here it obviously refers to the "three thousand years" in the poem just read.

The second half of the sentence "Peach Blossom Spring Rises Cave Gate", Wu Zhiyuan pondered for a long time, he didn't know much about ancient poetry, he only read the three-character classic and thousand-character text when he was a child, and he also read a lot of Tang poems and Song poems, but he never studied its meaning. After meditating for a long time, he vaguely understood the meaning of the second half of the poem, which may mean that when the peach blossoms bloom in spring and the lake rises, the door here will be closed.

If that's what it means, it's very much in line with reality. At this time, it is late winter, and it is also the dry period of Poyang Lake, the water level drops, and the door of this cave in Shizhong Mountain will be revealed, and in the spring season, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the water level will rise after the dry period, and the cave will be submerged below the lake surface, which is the "cave door closed" in the poem.

At this time, that question returned to Wu Zhiyuan's mind: after the dry period, this place was completely submerged in the lake, and how did that person "lie drunk and lie here for 3,000 years".

This is too incredible, Wu Zhiyuan stared at the two poems on the stone wall, in order to see the whole picture of these two poems, he involuntarily took a few steps back, but inadvertently, his right heel kicked down a clay pot, Wu Zhiyuan shrank his foot suddenly, but it was too late, the clay pot fell to the ground instantly, because it had been soaked in water for thousands of years, and it fell to pieces.

I thought that there would be a swollen corpse of a dead baby inside, but to Wu Zhiyuan's surprise, the clay pot was not filled with a dead baby, but a pile of yellow things that had condensed into lumps, which looked like gold at first glance.

Wu Zhiyuan was not greedy for money, but there was no fluctuation in his heart, he just squatted down, used the peach wood sword to play with the pile of yellow things, and poked hard, and actually poked a piece down. Curious, he took the small piece of yellow thing in his hand and twisted his fingers slightly, only to realize that this thing was not gold at all.

For although pure gold is softer than copper and iron, it is definitely harder than the thing in the hand, and this thing becomes a powder when twisted.

"It's sulfur" Wu Zhiyuan put the powder in front of his nose and smelled a pungent smell.

Wu Zhiyuan is very familiar with this smell, because sulfur is also a traditional Chinese medicine, and the fifth uncle's family has a little, and he never allows the children in the village to move, but Wu Zhiyuan still secretly opened the jar and smelled it once.

"There is actually sulfur here" Wu Zhiyuan was surprised and puzzled, what kind of place is this, if it is an ancient tomb, who will put sulfur in his tomb, is it for embalming Even if it is to play the role of anti-corrosion and insect prevention, the sulfur should also be sprinkled around the tomb, not encapsulated in a clay pot.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't get an answer, his eyes swept to the other clay pots on the stone platform, thinking that if he wanted to get the truth in them, he might be able to find clues by opening a few more clay pots.

Thinking of this, he no longer cared whether there was a dead baby's body in the clay pot, he walked to a nearby clay pot, bent down and grabbed the neck of the clay pot, and was about to lift it up and break it.

However, a strange thing happened again, Wu Zhiyuan grabbed the neck of the clay pot and lifted it hard, but he didn't lift it. He thought that the pot contained something very heavy, so he bent down and tried to exert himself again, but no matter how hard he tried, the pot seemed to grow on the ground, and remained unmoved.

After going through so much, Wu Zhiyuan can already see the strangeness in the abnormality of this clay pot. He looked around the stone chamber and saw that everything was normal, so he crouched down to examine the clay pot closely.

This is an open-necked clay pot, the upper abdomen is bulging, the lower slope is closed, the upper waist has symmetrical striped horizontal stripes, the belly of the clay pot is decorated with floral patterns, the lines are thick but realistic, and the shape looks like peach blossoms.

Wu Zhiyuan carefully observed the clay pot for a moment, and suddenly understood, he put the peach wood sword aside, grabbed the mouth of the clay pot with both hands, and rotated it to the right, and the clay pot suddenly turned in the direction of his force, accompanied by a "creaking" sound.

Wu Zhiyuan knew that he had found the mystery of this clay pot, so he continued to rotate hard, only to hear a sudden "boom" sound on the stone wall opposite the stone platform.

Wu Zhiyuan looked up and saw that the stone wall on the opposite side had left an opening, and it turned out to be an invisible stone gate.

With the rotation of the clay pot, the stone door on the opposite side slowly opened, and a passage appeared behind the stone door.

Wu Zhiyuan was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly got up and jumped off the stone platform, and walked quickly to the stone gate, he looked up and saw that there were two large seal characters engraved above the passage in the stone gate, and Wu Zhiyuan recognized the two words at a glance, which was written with the word "Danfang".

"Danfang" Wu Zhiyuan muttered, the Danfang is a place for Taoist alchemists, and the Maoshan faction is a Fu Seal Taoist sect, not alchemy. However, some Taoist sects have the practice of alchemy to cure diseases and seek immortality to help them practice, and it is not uncommon for such Taoist sects to have existed since ancient times.

However, there is a Dan room for Taoist alchemy here, which is by no means unusual.

Wu Zhiyuan turned around and looked at the large and small clay pots on the stone platform, and the sulfur and dead baby corpses in the clay pots were also explained, these were all medicinal materials for alchemy.

Although it is a little appalling, in ancient times, some Taoist priests would do everything possible to refine the elixir in order to seek immortality, or to satisfy the immortality of the rulers of the current dynasty.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan sighed, he didn't want to explore the dusty past that had happened here, he just hoped to find Zixu Pingshi as soon as possible. So he didn't hesitate anymore and walked into the passage inside the stone gate.

The stone walls on both sides of the passage are also embedded with luminous sand, which is also relatively bright, and the feet are covered with stones, although there is a little moss attached to it, but it is not slippery.

This passage is not narrow, it can accommodate four people walking side by side, the passage is not long, only a dozen meters, and there is no stone door at the end of the passage, but another stone room.

Wu Zhiyuan stood at the entrance of this stone chamber and did not venture into it to prevent potential dangers in the stone chamber.

He carefully looked at the layout of the stone room, and found that this stone room was very large, about five or six times the stone room where the clay pot was placed, and at the westernmost end of the stone room was a huge bronze Dan furnace, and there was a jade bed not far from the Dan furnace, and there seemed to be a person lying on the bed.
