There were more and more dark clouds over Yunshan, and the sky was getting darker and darker.

I don't know why, but in this kind of sky, a sense of uneasiness gradually appeared in my heart.

"Where's the toad?" After the seventh master finished eating, he finally found that the toad was not among us.

"Toad ......"

I smiled bitterly, and told the seventh master what I had said to the pig head and the cloth bag monk before, and the seventh master was not surprised, but frowned, and sighed softly: "There are already many people who have died, and if you go further, I don't know how many more people will die......"

Everyone suddenly entered a depressing atmosphere, and after the seventh master rested for a while, he got up and continued to walk up. Soon, we came to the fourth floor.

The Seventh Master stood outside a stone house, paced two steps, stretched out his hand and gouged the ground a few times, dug out a black thing, pinched it with his hand, and his face showed joy.

The pig head was about to open his mouth to ask something, but the seventh master straightened up and walked into the darkness in the stone house, and with a "snap", he lit the flashlight in his hand.

We hurriedly followed, flashlights lit up the entire stone house.

The fourth-floor stone house is almost 40 square meters in size, and there are several low walls, which divide the whole stone house into several small rooms, and it seems that there is a preliminary functional division.

"This place, if the archaeological team comes, won't it just climax?!" The pig's head said something that was not rough.

"That's right, this place can take a big step forward in many fields of Huaxia." The seventh master continued: "It has high archaeological value. However, I wonder if Gaozu Liu Bang was here in person back then......"

"Seventh Master, what did you find?" Liang Ruoyi asked.

The seventh master stretched out his left hand, and the palm of his hand was the black thing he had just found outside, Liang Ruoyi reached out and picked it up and looked at it carefully: "Iron? This must be some kind of iron fragment, right? ”

"That's right." The seventh master nodded: "The appearance of iron tools with this process should be in the late Qin period, and it can almost be concluded that it was brought by the people of Gaozu Liu Bang, of course, it may also be the later people...... Anyway, a certain team of people who have been here before must have transformed this place to some extent. ”

The seventh master suddenly stopped when he said this, and turned his head to look at me: "We still need the help of the second shopkeeper." ”

With that, the Seventh Master glanced at the empty stone house and walked out.

I followed behind the Seventh Master: "Seventh Master, what are you talking about?" ”

The outside of the stone house was also very dim, and it was impossible to see through the Seventh Master's mind.

"The box containing Hanjia is in the backpack of the second shopkeeper." The seventh master said softly.

"How about waiting up there?" The cloth bag monk, who had been speechless, said coldly.

The Seventh Master looked up at the seventh-layer stone palace that was not far away, and muttered: "Okay, if the second shopkeeper arrives, he should also go up as soon as possible." ”

The time has come to eleven o'clock at noon, the sun has been completely covered by dark clouds, the seventh master seems to be a little impatient, turned around and was about to continue forward, but was stopped by the pig's head: "Seventh master, it seems that something is wrong!" ”

"What's wrong?" The seventh master turned his head to look at the pig's head and asked with some puzzlement.

"I don't know ...... either," the pig head frowned with a bitter expression: "Anyway, I just feel that something is wrong." I stood on the mountainside and looked around, and I always felt that something was abnormal, but I couldn't see anything for a while......"

Hearing this, the seventh master glared at the pig's head, but he didn't leave in a hurry, but turned around and stood on the mountainside to look around.

I've always been skeptical about the level of the pig's head, but judging from the level since the operation, there is no bottom line for him, and the upper limit may be able to break through the sky. The second uncle once said to me that most of the things like Kanyu art depend on talent, and some people have studied with teachers for many years, and they have been cultivating behind closed doors in the deep mountains and old forests, but they still don't know the essentials; However, there are also a small number of people who can read through the mandate of heaven with a little guidance, and this kind of person is born with a peculiar sense of smell.

I don't see the old clam, this pig's head sometimes looks like a second kind of person.

"The center of the circle." The pig's head murmured on the side: "Seventh Master, isn't the position we are in now the center of this big circle?" And this hill itself is a huge stone pillar! ”

Liang Ruoyi and I glanced at each other, did not understand the meaning of the pig's head, the cloth bag monk on the side closed his eyes slightly, twisted the Buddha beads in his hand, and looked like he had nothing to do with himself.

The seventh master didn't seem to understand what the pig head was talking about, so he was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

The pig head was happy: "I don't know, I just feel a little awkward in my heart, the world in front of me seems to be incomplete." ”

The Seventh Master took a deep breath, looked up at the gloomy sky, and pondered.

Liang Ruoyi and I were completely confused, we didn't know what the master and apprentice were talking about, so we could only stand aside and observe the surroundings boredly.

As the dark clouds gathered, the surrounding fog began to slowly become thinner, and in some places the fog had even disappeared, and at this rate, it might take another hour for the fog that had been shrouded in the Yunshan valley these days to disappear completely.

"That's right! You're right! The seventh master suddenly shouted: "Pig head, you are right!" ”

I looked at the Seventh Master: "Seventh Master, what did you find?" ”

"Stone pillar, center of the circle!" The expression on the Seventh Master's face looked like excitement and nervousness, and he said with some words: "Look, if this stone pillar under us, oh no, this hill, is also counted as one of the stone pillars, what will it be?" ”

Liang Ruoyi and I looked at each other, not understanding what the seventh master meant: "Seventh master, what do you mean?" ”

"We're in the center of the circle, right?" Seeing that we couldn't understand it, the Seventh Master was suddenly a little anxious: "And where did this circle come from?" ”

"Surrounded by stone pillars!" I was even more puzzled, and looked at the seventh master and the pig head with wide eyes, more anxious than the two of them.

"That's right!" The seventh master clapped his hands: "Without the stone pillar group, there will be no circle!" If the giant stone pillar under our feet is counted as a member of the stone pillar group, then doesn't it mean that if there is no stone pillar group, this circle center does not exist at all! ”

"This, this ......" I listened to it messily, and said with a wry smile: "Seventh Master, you are a philosophical question, matter determines consciousness or consciousness determines matter?" It's not possible as you said, the stone pillar group, as well as this Nanpan Shrine built by the mountain, are all real existence! ”

"Oh, I'll just say I don't understand with you!" The pig's head suddenly seemed to have an idea, turned to the seventh master and said, "Seventh master, what do you mean, is it related to the three potentials of heaven, earth, and dust?" ”

"That's right!" Only then did the Seventh Master breathe a sigh of relief: "If you explain it like this, everything makes sense, and today, something big will happen." ”

"What's the big deal?" I was about to cry: "Seventh Master, what are you talking about, I don't understand at all." ”

"The heavens are gathering in all directions; topography, round swallowing roots; Dust, man and beast repel the fog. The seventh master frowned slightly: "Use the three potentials of heaven, earth, and dust to apply where we are now, which just coincides with the four elephant gossip, plus in the summer season, if it rains today, it just happens to become the trend of water and heaven and earth, we should be lucky, at this juncture, we can find some of the mysteries of Nanpan Divine Palace, if it comes at other times, it is estimated that we will not be so lucky......"

Still listening in a fog, I stammered, "So, what do we do now?" ”

The Seventh Master turned to look at the Budai monk: "Master, what do you say?" ”

At this time, the Seventh Master, who is a master-level figure of Kanyu, asked the cloth bag monk who knew almost nothing about Kanyu for the first time? ! Liang Ruoyi and I were stunned for a moment, but I quickly reacted: This is the seventh master testing the old monk, a few months ago, the seventh master once followed the old monk to the Yuecheng Ridge, and then lost it, since that day, the seventh master has always doubted the relationship between the old monk and the Nanpan Divine Palace, so he tried it from time to time.

The cloth bag monk always has a face that does not see joy and sorrow, twists the Buddha beads in one hand and puts them on his chest, and gently recites the Buddha name: "Old monk, I listen to the respect." ”

This is quite funny, and I am happy in my heart: yes, these two old foxes, in the end, I don't know who will test whom!

"Then let's move on!" The seventh master nodded and said: "Just like just now, no matter what, anyway, we have to go to the highest point of the stone palace in the end, we will go up first, at least, we can't let the mountains and fields take the lead." ”

Everyone walked up again, everyone actually understood in their hearts, saying that they couldn't let Shanping Daye and that old man in the valley take the lead, in fact, we were asking them to help us explore the way, if there was no danger on it, there was an immortal elixir, and the seventh master and the Budai monk would have been desperate with Shanping Daye and them a long time ago.

By the time I got to the fifth floor, it was nearly one o'clock at noon. It was still overcast, and we entered a dark stone house, which was no different from a four-story stone house except for its larger size.

At this time, we were already on the mountainside almost sixty meters high, looking down on the past, we could see the huge group of stone pillars, but there was still no trace of the second uncle......

"Let's eat lunch before we go." The foodie pig's head couldn't stand it anymore, so he took something out of his backpack and ate it as he spoke.

The Seventh Master had just eaten a big meal, he was not hungry, he was biting a ham sausage, and seemed to say to himself: "I don't know what the ancestor Liu Bang has done since he came here......

As soon as the words fell, the cloth bag monk who was biting the dough cake said softly: "The rain is coming......
