As I walked, I listened vigorously to Master's footsteps, and around me, there was a boundless darkness, and the spiritual spring that emitted an aqua blue light was the only source of light, but it could not illuminate the road in front of us, it could only illuminate itself, and I could only identify the direction of Master's walk by listening to Master's footsteps.

As I continued to move forward, I gradually had a strange feeling, I seemed to feel time flowing along the skin on my neck, I knew that time could not be seen or touched, but I just felt it, when it passed over my neck, there seemed to be a layer of non-delicate sand gently rubbing against my skin, I really can't describe that feeling, because I feel relaxed at the same time, but also inexplicably have a sense of heaviness.

It was at this time that Master suddenly said to me, "It's here." ”

I stopped, and then I felt that Master was a little farther away from me.

Not far in front of me, there seemed to be a wall, on which Master seemed to be groping for something, and after a while, a faint yellow light suddenly lit up in front of me.

My eyes had adjusted to the darkness, but when the light appeared, I felt my eyes shake for a moment, and it took a long time for me to recover.

Only then did I realize that there was a quaint stone door directly in front of me, and on the door frame on the left, there was a copper oil lamp.

The flickering light of the fire illuminated only a small area of the stone door, and by the light of the fire, I could see some strange totems carved into the door panels, which looked like sheep faces, arranged in an irregular manner.

But except for this small area that is illuminated, there is still boundless darkness around us, and it is precisely because of the appearance of this light that I suddenly feel that the dark space seems to be extremely vast, and I don't know why I feel this way.

Master beckoned to me, "Youdao, come here." ”

I came to Master, Master grabbed my hand and stabbed my finger lightly with the green steel sword, the sudden pain made me can't help but pout, Master ignored me, he raised my injured finger and dripped a drop of blood into the oil lamp.

The light of the oil lamp was disturbed by the blood, and it crackled and flashed a few sparks, and after a few moments, it was back to normal.

Master said to me, "You are not the head of the upright line now, and it stands to reason that you cannot establish a blood contract with the Sansheng Stone. However, your situation is relatively special, and I am afraid that only you can open this three-life stone door. ”

As Master spoke, his eyes kept on the stone door, and there was an indescribable enthusiasm in his eyes, and I knew that Master seemed to want to go to the other side of the door.

I asked Master, "Master, is this the secret door you mentioned earlier?" ”

Master nodded, "This door hasn't been opened for a long time. Youdao, you can try it. ”

I walked to the door and stroked the door panel with my hand, on it, I could not perceive any spiritual charm, it seemed to be an ordinary stone door, the feel from the door was rough and heavy, conveying a sense of vicissitudes that only belonged to the years.

I don't know why I'm touching the door, I just feel like I have to, and when I touch the door, I vaguely feel as if some memory has been awakened in the depths of my mind, but it's fleeting, I want to capture it, but I don't.

Next, I untied the Fantian seal on my waist, held it in my hand, thought about it for nine days, and took a step.

When the soles of my feet landed on the star position of the canopy star, the majestic Qi field from the stars instantly covered my whole body, and the Fan Tian Seal greedily devoured the Qi field on my body at the same time, along with my physical strength and mental power.

I couldn't interrupt the devouring process, and after about three seconds, my mind was almost completely drained, and the Fantian seal stopped, and I sat on the ground panting, unable to move at all.

Master kept holding the cigarette stick and staring at the stone door, and after a long time, the stone door still showed no sign of opening, and Master finally sighed, but didn't say anything.

But just after I regained my strength a little, things took a turn for the better.

When I stood up with my hands on my knees and gritted my teeth, there was a sudden "click" sound at the stone door, and then the junction of the two door panels shook suddenly, revealing a fist-sized square groove, which could fit the shape and size of the Fantian seal.

My master hurriedly picked up the Fantian Seal and wanted to put it in the trough, but the moment the master touched the Fantian Seal, the groove disappeared without warning.

Master frowned, and handed the Fantian seal back into my hand, and the groove appeared again.

My master sighed helplessly: "It seems that this door still recognizes people." ”

As he spoke, he shoved me from behind and pushed me to the door, and I was so weak that it took a lot of effort to inlay the seal of Fantian in the groove.

That's right, Fantian Yin is the key to this door, when it completely fell into the groove, the stone door was a violent shock, a few seconds later, the shock stopped, this quaint and heavy stone door, finally slowly opened.

It wasn't until it was completely open that a pale blue stone path appeared in front of us, and at the end of this stone path, there was a pure white glow.

The master looked a little excited, he pointed to the direction where the light came from, and said to me with an excited face: "That must be the light from the sky lantern, there is a way, walk through this stone road, we can enter the cabinet." ”

I kept panting and couldn't speak, just smiled at Master.

Master was not in a hurry, and waited until I had recovered most of my strength before asking me if I could walk, and I nodded to Master, and then stepped out of my feet and stepped onto the stone path.

On both sides of the paved road, there is still no boundless darkness, and when my feet step on those stone slabs, they will sink some distance with my weight, and I feel that these stone slabs seem to float, and under the stone slabs, there is still a bottomless darkness, if I accidentally step on them, it may be doomed.

My legs were still a little weak, so I could only walk cautiously, and after Master stepped on the stone path, he took the Fantian Seal from the stone door and reattached it to my belt.

This time, even though the seal was removed, the stone door was still quietly open, and I could see the flickering light of the oil lamp when I looked back at the door.

All the way down, Master has been supporting me behind me, for fear that I will have an accident, the road is not long, but we have walked for a long time.

When we came to the end of the stone path, the world before us suddenly opened up, and a huge study appeared in front of us, this study had no doors, no walls, and countless bookcases stood there so steadily, with darkness under our feet, and above our heads, there was a huge chandelier, which was emitting a gentle and bright white light.

Being in such an environment, I feel as if I have come to a space that is detached from reality, we do not belong here, this place does not belong to the Soul Village, and it does not belong to anyone, but those ancient books that have been aged for thousands of years without a trace of dust belong to me.

Master looked up at the chandelier above our heads, and couldn't help but sigh, "This is the legendary Ceiling Lantern!" Alas, the wisdom of the ancients is far beyond our imagination. ”

I don't know if the "wisdom of the ancients" in Master's mouth refers to the lamp or this strange space that is almost completely detached from reality.

I didn't ask, and the master didn't explain, he just carefully extinguished the smoke pot, and then walked over to the bookshelf, took out a bamboo slip, and looked at it carefully.

Liang Zi had asked me to check the matter of Kyushu Ding before, although I hadn't decided whether to agree to him or not, but anyway, I also had a deep curiosity about Kyushu Ding, so I planned to find relevant ancient books.

But when I came to a bookshelf with my still sore body, I found that I had thought things too simply, in this place, there were at least a thousand similar bookshelves, and each bookshelf was stuffed with bamboo slips, which were not marked on them, and it was impossible to know what was written on them if I didn't take them out and look at them.

In such a huge sea of books, how can I find clues to Kyushu Ding?

As I thought so, I pulled out a bamboo slip and unfolded it little by little, the contents of the bamboo slip were written in a mixture of seal script and official script, the font was small, but I could barely read it.

Most of the things recorded on this bamboo slip are some folk strange tales in the Qin and Han dynasties, and I read it from beginning to end, and I didn't find any information related to Kyushu Ding.

However, the content on this bamboo slip is not completely useless to me, for example, it records some of the origins of Fantianyin.

The bamboo slip said that the Fantian seal of our Soul Village was found by the ancestor Zhuang Junping in the area of Zhongnan Mountain, when "the fire covered the sky, the first-class light fell from the dome and sank to the valley", when the ancestor went to the valley to look for the streamer, he found a fist-sized jade seal, and a wordless tablet was erected next to the jade seal.

Later, the ancestor picked up the jade seal and the stele together, and it was not until the jade seal was passed to the hands of the first ancestor that it was named "Fantian Seal" by the first ancestor, and the wordless stele was also built by the first ancestor in the ancestral hall of the Soul Village.

In addition, the bamboo slips also roughly mentioned that the first ancestor had used Fantian Seal to suppress the thirteen golden scales, but as for what these "golden scales" were, there was not much mention.

I stuffed this bamboo slip back, and took out the second bamboo slip, just unfolded it a corner, and a small line of words at the beginning caught my attention: "Luo Yun, the word in the line, when he was young, he was filial piety, and then entered the mountain gate, repaired Shiquan Avenue, and could pass the ghosts and gods......"

Line in word? Luo Yun, Luo Zhongxing! There is also Shiquan Avenue in the back...... Could it be that Luo Zhongxing is a perfect Taoist? But why did this Shiquan Daoist, who almost burned down the Soul Village in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, appear in the books of the Qin and Han dynasties?

I hurriedly ran to the master with the book and asked the master, "Luo Zhongxing is a person of the Ten Perfections?" ”
