Chapter 3 Penglai Immortal Cave (3)
Although it is also a karst cave, Ding Lingxiu never expected that the temperature in this Penglai Immortal Cave is not cold, but it is a little refreshing, not like a karst cave like Benxi Water Cave, and you have to wear a military coat when you enter it in summer.
Ding Lingxiu looked at the colorful and magnificent lights in the cave and joked about Xia Xianyao:
"Sister Xianyao, it seems that the decoration of your house is more luxurious and magnificent than I imagined, I'm afraid that even the private villas of some rich businessmen and tyrants can't be compared with your home."
Xia Xianyao glanced at him and said:
"What's the use of decorating no matter how good it is? Would you like to have hundreds of people in your family come in every day? ”
"What's that, the more people there are, the more lively it is." Ding Lingxiu smiled and lit a cigarette.
Several people walk along the path, follow the tourists together, although the stone wonders in the Penglai Immortal Cave are magical, but do not feel abrupt, and the path in the cave stretches and twists, up and down, and the various forms of condensed stone in the cave wall, the light shines, and intertwine with each other.
Because there are many tourists, walking on the path in the cave feels slightly slippery, but it is not cold. Kong Shengchun also asked Ding Lingxiu to help her and Xia Xianyao take a lot of interesting and personalized photos while walking, and the two of them were like they were really on vacation.
Ding Lingxiu didn't go far and found that he saw a huge stalactite that was particularly spectacular, so he curiously pointed to this huge stalactite and asked:
"Sister Xian Yao, this big stone looks very strange, like a bell."
"You are stupid, didn't you listen to the tour guide in front of you just now, the name of this stalactite is called'Landing Golden Bell', this stone is nine meters high, five meters in diameter, like a big golden bell on the ground, when I was a child, people in the sect said that this stone was originally the golden bell in the heavenly court, when Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he was beaten down by Sun Wukong with a stick, so it was named 'Landing Golden Bell'." Xia Xianyao replied triumphantly, as if she instantly felt that she was so knowledgeable.
"Hey...... Don't talk about this rumor as a historical allusion. Ding Lingxiu pursed the corners of his lips helplessly.
"Believe it or not, this palace kicked you in the golden bell."
After speaking, Xia Xianyao raised his fist, and Ding Lingxiu quickly turned his head to the side.
Walking in the cave, they could clearly hear the sound of the water rushing underground, Ding Lingxiu held on to the railing on the side of the road, and saw a clear spring flowing under his feet, although the sound of this spring water was crisp and pleasant, but the flow speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Ding Lingxiu stared at the river, and suddenly a strange feeling came to his heart, this spring water should obviously come from the underground river in the fourth layer of Penglai Immortal Cave, but it was bubbling and flowing, but intermittently, as if it could move on its own. I feel that there is an indescribable spirituality in this water.
"Sister Xian Yao, your home is called Yaochi Cave, and it is inside this Penglai Immortal Cave, which means that there is another hidden hole in this Penglai Immortal Cave!" Kong Shengchun asked.
"That's right, after a while, we will take the path from the Jade Mother Yaochi in front of us, and we can come to the Yaochi Cave." Xia Xianyao whispered.
Xia Xianyao couldn't help but be a little curious when she saw that Ding Lingxiu had been staring at the flowing water, and even her walking pace had become a little sluggish.
"What do you see?" Xia Xianyao asked.
"Huh? Oh, I just feel like there's something strange about this water. Ding Lingxiu came back to his senses and said.
"Hee-hee, that's right, don't you see that this is 'flowing water'."
Ding Lingxiu also suddenly realized, and muttered:
"It's really confusing, I didn't even see that this is 'flowing water', it seems that there are still Wen ray fish in this hole."
"Nonsense, this palace has told you, Wen Ray is a demon that my mother subdued, and this palace's favorite demon is it."
Ding Lingxiu nodded, shook the cigarette on his mouth, and suddenly became stern. At this moment, Ding Lingxiu's mood was very complicated, because this Wen ray was a ghost-level demon, and it was also very restrained in terms of its own attributes, so Xia Xianyao's mother should have had a chance to defeat Huoqian Fang. But Xia Xianyao's mother, an experienced demon hunter, still failed, and now the two of them are fledgling newcomers, and they have to protect a voice that has no experience in demon subjugation, I am afraid that this trip will be even more auspicious.
The reason why he agreed to let Kong Shengchun go with him was not really because he was greedy for the two of them. A large part of it is also because Ding Lingxiu has not yet thought of a countermeasure to the battle with Huo Qianfang. And his worst plan was to do his best to defeat Huo Qianfang and let Xia Xianyao submit. If this strategy is really completed, then Ding Lingxiu will probably be seriously injured, so if Kong Shengchun is by his side, it is possible to save his life. But this is only a better result, if Kong Shengchun is injured first, or if an accident occurs, the situation will become extremely dangerous.
While Ding Lingxiu was thinking, several people had already unconsciously passed through a door, and according to Xia Xianyao, they had already entered the middle cave after passing through this door. At the junction of the entrance of the cave and the middle cave, there are many scenic spots, and the names are also related to the scenes and ritual weapons in the mythological stories, such as "Lotus Terrace", "Canopy Umbrella", "Lotus Pond", "Dragon Palace of the East China Sea", etc., Ding Lingxiu is not interested in these gimmicky attractions, but Kong Shengchun and Xia Xianyao are having a lot of fun, and take all kinds of funny photos on these attractions. Ding Lingxiu had no choice but to follow the two, and he actually felt that his current self was a little more dazzling than these colorful light bulbs.
"Ah Xiu, come together, let's take a group photo with the three of us." Kong Shengchun stood on a strange big stone like Lingzhi and shouted at Ding Lingxiu to come over.
Ding Lingxiu reluctantly walked over with his mobile phone, and found that the place where they stood was a perennial dripping hole bed, and with the gradual condensation and growth, it became a Lingzhi tower with a Lingzhi shape on the surface.
After the three of them took a group photo, they didn't go far up the stairs in the middle cave, and they passed through the South Heavenly Gate and came to the Heavenly Cave. The tour guide in front of him took a megaphone and introduced it, saying that this Tiandong was only discovered when it was developed in 1984, because there were spiral-shaped stalagmites blocking the way at the mouth of the "South Heavenly Gate", and this place was named "Shenluo Lock Heavenly Gate".
Ding Lingxiu listened to the group of tourists in front of him pouring out their admiration and snapping pictures, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in fact, once something ordinary is endowed with a certain spiritual level of meaning, it will immediately double its value. This is no different from a high-end hotel that decorates a dish with some coriander, and it will immediately become classy.
Because the location of the Heavenly Cave is relatively high, and he has to pass through an extremely complex attraction such as the Maze Immortal Palace, Ding Lingxiu is a little dizzy, and he is going to have a lot of fun with Kong Shengchun, and he is not tired at all. Ding Lingxiu almost forced his consciousness to drive his body forward, and finally followed the two to the most beautiful cave hall in Penglai Immortal Cave, which is what Xia Xianyao called the "Queen Mother Yao Pool".
As its name suggests, this "Jade Mother Yao Pond" is one of the three unique Penglai Immortal Caves, and the moment you just step here, you will immediately feel the extraordinary terrain here, and Ding Lingxiu feels that the aura in his body has suddenly doubled. This jade mother Yao pond is crystal clear, and there is also a "purple bamboo forest" around it, the bamboo forest is green branches and green leaves on the top, the purple bamboo pole in the middle, and the fairy bamboo shoots below. In front of the bamboo forest are countless transparent calcite crystals as white as jade. This kind of crystal clear shield-shaped stalactites forms a "Luo yarn tent" with silk silk. And the so-called jade mother Yao Chi is in this "Luo yarn tent", Yao Chi itself is a circular side stone dam body, the dam side is white like jade, such as gem inlay, the structure is exquisite, exquisitely clear, the pool drips jade liquid, clear and thorough. Because the location of Yaochi is at the highest point of Penglai Cave, the groundwater containing calcium carbonate seeped out from the rock first condenses calcium carbonate here, and this pure calcium carbonate body crystallizes into calcite, so it can be white and flawless, forming a rare "Yaochi Wonderland".
"Sister Xian Yao is so happy to be able to live in this kind of place since she was a child." Kong Shengchun looked at this beautiful scenery and couldn't help but sigh.
"It was when you first arrived, and it must have felt fresh. For example, I was born here since I was a child, practiced and practiced, and after a long time, I didn't think there was any interest here, but now I haven't been back for a long time, and I will feel a little fun when I come back suddenly. Xia Xianyao said with a smile, but when she suddenly said this, her smile froze suddenly.
Ding Lingxiu saw this detail, in fact, he also knew very well in his heart that although Xia Xianyao talked and laughed as usual along the way, this was all to make her closer to Kong Shengchun, and let Kong Shengchun do her best to treat her mother. And the pain in her heart has never been relieved. At this moment, touching the scene, she may no longer be able to suppress the sadness in her heart.
"Oh, yes, let's ...... here."
Kong Shengchun was just about to take a group photo together, Xia Xianyao's frozen smile suddenly became more solemn, Xia Xianyao glanced at Yumu Yaochi in amazement, and muttered:
"It's getting late, we need to hurry back to the cave with me."
Kong Shengchun saw that Xia Xianyao's expression had changed, and he also realized that he was out of place, so he nodded and said:
"Okay, let's go."
Xia Xianyao nodded, and hurriedly walked into a secluded path next to her, and Ding Lingxiu and Kong Shengchun also followed. The path is located behind the Yumu Yao Pond, and because it is almost untouched, the ground is full of groundwater and damp moss. Ding Lingxiu and Kong Shengchun followed Xia Xianyao along this path for a long time, and only then did they come to an extremely spacious stone platform, which was the size of a small theater, but unexpectedly, under this stone platform was an endless abyss, surrounded by dark rock walls, and there was no road at all, let alone any Yaochi Cave.
Just when Ding Lingxiu and Kong Shengchun were at a loss, Xia Xianyao reached into his backpack and took out his pink gourd from his golden clothes.
"Gourd? Sister Xianyao, are you going to summon demons? Kong Shengchun asked in surprise.
"Yes, that's right." Xia Xianyao nodded.
The pink gourd turned translucent again, and a faint glow emanated from the surface, Kong Shengchun still saw the demon hunter summoning the demon with his own eyes, and couldn't help but be very excited, and watched with round eyes.
With the incantation, the pink demonic energy slowly floated out from the mouth of the gourd, constantly condensing and forming on the ground, in fact, Ding Lingxiu was also the first time to see Xia Xianyao summon demons from the gourd, before they surrendered to the Sun Devouring Demon in the Yellow Emperor City, Ding Lingxiu also thought that Xia Xianyao was a peerless demon hunter.
It didn't take long for the demonic qi to condense, and a huge and gorgeous monster appeared in front of the three of them. R1058
