Chapter 22, The Secret Passage

The master brought me and the little monk a cup of tea, looked at Xiao Yun'er and said, "This child is so cute."

The little monk took a sip of tea and said, "Since you are so cute, you should give birth to one yourself!" Oh, forget you're a Taoist."

I smiled and said, "What's wrong with the Taoist priest, the Taoist priest can marry a wife and have children."

Nini glanced at the little monk with a smile and said, "I see that your little flower monk is underwhelmed, and you can't be clean after six monks."

The little monk said disappreciatively: "You don't understand this, this young man reaches a certain time, no matter how clean the six roots are, there will still be changes in some places."

Nini looked puzzled: "What change" But after understanding, she suddenly glared angrily at the little monk, and the frightened latter shrank his neck and quickly shut up.

I saw that the master walked to the backyard by himself, leaning on the railing and looking at the undulating mountains in front of him, the opposite side of the undulating mountains seemed to have no end, and I could only see the white mist in the mountainside with clear layers, so that it gave people a mysterious atmosphere.

I don't know what to look at feng shui, but when the master saw that he was so fascinated, he asked him: "How do we go into the mountains to find the king of Bashu."

The master said: "At that time, the king of Bashu did not hesitate to spend financial resources to build this mausoleum, to a certain extent, some of the protection is naturally in place, but unfortunately the huge project of the Nine Dragons Arch Bead betrayed his position, it is not difficult to find the tomb, the difficult thing is how to enter the tomb, and now all the clues have to be found from those words."

While we were talking, the old man brought the prepared meal, and after we had eaten, the master asked the old man about Rattle Mountain.

The old man glanced at us and said, "What are you going to do on Rattle Mountain?" This rattle mountain is covered with poisonous mist, and ordinary living people dare not go up? “。

When the old man asked like this, he still asked us, and he couldn't tell people that we were going to demolish the tomb of the King of Bashu! .

As I spoke, I had an idea and said, "My eldest cousin has a strange disease, and the doctor said that if he can pick a herb from Rattle Mountain and use it as medicine, this disease will also rise."

After listening to this, the old man nodded and said: "A group of people have also entered the rattle mountain in the front time, and they have not come out for two or three months, what herbs are missing, I advise you to look for another one, this rattle mountain is a terrible place!" “。

As soon as he heard this, the master asked tightly: "Do you mean a group of people who went in two months ago?" Who are the people? ”。

The old man looked back and thought for a moment and said, "There are about a dozen people!" One of them was an old monk, a man dressed as a merchant, and six men in black and a couple of strong men, oh yes, and an old lady, who was old."

Hearing this, I suddenly didn't understand, didn't we just see the old lady and the six men in black at the inn two days ago, and they appeared two months ago, could it be that they have already been there?

Why is it that all this is suddenly a little confused, and we don't see a light or a golden abacus at the inn, could it be that they have been killed? I didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I turned my head to look at Nini and the little monk, who looked at Zhang Daoyi nervously.

Nini was a little teary-eyed: "Master, my father he? “、

Zhang Dao paused for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I just met that group of people some time ago, your father and the old monk should be fine."

The old man seemed to be a little confused by our topic: "I said that you guys are really going to collect medicine?" I don't sound like that! “。

I smiled and said, "You misunderstood, we came to collect medicine, and we also came to find someone, the old monk you said was his master" I pointed to the little monk as I said.

The old man shook his head and said, "Hey, I don't care so much about you, anyway, the rattle mountain is full of poisonous insects and beasts, if you are not careful, the poisonous fog barrier alone can kill people, and no one in our locals wants to go up" After speaking, the old man packed up his job and left.

We also know this, if you go up the mountain, the poisonous snakes and beasts can still avoid it, but what to do with the natural fog barrier formed by this.

These questions stopped us for a while, what should we do?

The little monk said, "Even if it's something, don't they go up too?" If it's not okay, we'll do the same."

Nini gave him a blank look: "You really think that the one you are carrying on your shoulders is a filter!".

Zhang Daoyi thought for a while and said: "It is definitely not possible to go up directly, they are descendants of the Wu clan, and they are good at using poisonous insects and so on, we don't have that kind of ability."

Just when we were at a loss for what to do about it, the old man turned around and said, "I think this should be Maoshan's Daoist brother, right?" “。

Zhang Dao was stunned for a moment, but slowly nodded and admitted.

The old man said: Actually, I know that a secret passage can lead directly to the mountain, but the cave is not clean, since you are from Maoshan, you should not be afraid of those things.

Hearing this, we immediately came to our senses and hurriedly asked the old man about the specific location of the cave. The old man told us that there is a local legend that there is a large tomb in Rattle Mountain, but we don't know who is buried.

However, after digging dozens of meters, the entire belly of the mountain is empty, and the crisscrossing road is disorienting, and the group of people who dug the tunnel never come out after entering a road.

Then someone went to look for it, but the cave was like a demon that devoured life, and as long as the living entered it, they never came out.

In the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, a county lord knew about the treasure buried here, so he recruited a group of people to explore the treasure, but more than 100 people went in and didn't come out.

Since then, it has been called the entrance to hell by the locals, and it has been blocked with stones, but in recent years, some people have coveted the treasures in the mountains, and they have never come out after digging up.

Anyway, the more it spreads, no one has been in it recently, the old man told us that there are no more than five people who can know about this cave now, and he almost couldn't help but go in when he was young, but in the end because of some delays, and the person who went with him never came out again, he completely interrupted this thought.

The old man finally told us that although this road is a shortcut, it is full of dangers, and it has always been a place where there is no way to enter and exit, and if we are really not afraid, we can try it.

Now there are two roads in front of us, one is a fog barrier full of poisonous snakes and beasts, and the other is a secret path that can only be entered and exited from ancient times to the present, which means that no matter which path you choose, it will be fatal if you are not careful.
