Chapter Twenty-Five: The Call of the Great Master and Ancestor Cheer for the absence of meat
Zeng Shizu actually communicated with me again, which made me very excited, from the first time I went up the mountain to be in distress in the black pine forest, to the almost falling into the abyss just now, I experienced near death and survival again and again, and finally had the exact news.
Finding our great-master will have something to rely on, and the shadow of my short life will hopefully be broken, which is very likely to be a major turning point in my life, and success is already within reach.
But what does Zeng Shizu mean by "I am below", is it just under this huge crack in front of me?
Lin Mei and I used the light above our heads to shine down, unable to see the bottom, unable to perceive the situation below with Xiaoxue's ability, and unable to penetrate too far in a small and complex place.
The old camel was still lurking nearby, and if we both climbed down with the rope, it would come over and break the rope, and the consequences would be devastating. It's not a good idea to stay on it alone, because it's extremely dangerous to explore the unknown area below and consumes a lot of physical strength, so I can only go, how can Lin Mei stay on it alone is the opponent of the old camel? In turn, I will stay on top, and Lin Mei will go down, what if the old camel is below, or if there are other terrible monsters below? I definitely don't feel at ease to let Lin Mei go down.
I hesitated, Lin Mei said: "Let me go down, this cliff goes straight up, it can't go down without a rope, so it must still be on it." ”
"No, we must get rid of this scourge before we can go down!" I am very resolute, my great-master has been here for decades, it doesn't matter if we stay for a few more days, if we are a little negligent, we will lose our efforts and put our lives into it, I must not do anything reckless.
Xiaoxue asked, "Can you set up a formation here to stop it from approaching?" ”
I looked back and forth a few times, and finally shook my head in denial, the cave outside extends in all directions, it cannot be completely blocked, and the structure of this cave we are accommodating is too simple, the earth and fire are strong, and it is impossible to gather water, wood and gold, and the five elements are incomplete, and the formation cannot be arranged. What's even more headache is that I can't be sure whether the old fan is a human or a monster now, I'm afraid that the Yin Array and the Yang Array can't trap him, and I can't use the advanced formation with a compound effect.
Lin Mei asked, "Big brother, do you think that monster has a lot of strength?" ”
I didn't understand what Lin Mei meant for a while, but I still answered her as much as I could: "The Lost Camel itself is short like a dwarf, with thin arms and legs, and no strength. Chen Youyuan used to be pampered, good at scheming, and not very strong, so the combination of the two is theoretically not good at liliang. If its liliang was big and agile, it might have started attacking us a long time ago. ”
Lin Mei smiled and pointed to the entrance of the cave: "Then let's go and carry the stone that two people can lift and block the entrance of the cave?" ”
"Brilliant plan!" Xiaoxue and I were stunned for a moment, and then both opened their mouths to praise Lin Mei. There is only a small hole here, and the old camel can't get in if you block it with a boulder, and the boulder that Lin Mei and I can move together will definitely not be able to move. If the old camel is under the big crack, it is a head-on encounter with us, and it is impossible to break our rope.
People who think they are smart often want to defeat their enemies in clever ways; People who are good at spells will also think of using spells to defeat the enemy first, Xiaoxue and I are like this, and the same is true of the old camel. Lin Mei may not have much strength since she was a child, so she will think of her liliang and the enemy's liliang first, such as the last time she was in the well cave, she first considered her lack of physical strength and took measures first.
Lin Mei and I immediately set to work, looking for boulders nearby that could be moved, which seemed easy, but it was difficult to do, because there were not many boulders we could move. We found only two large stones in the vicinity, which were not enough to block the hole, so we had to run away again, and with great effort dragged back one, and then with great effort we stacked three boulders on top of each other to block the hole, so that even a child could not get in.
It took us more than an hour to block the door, and it has been more than three hours since we entered the hole, and the power of the two batteries that were already insufficient for electricity has been left, and the brightness of the lights has decreased. If we can't find our great-master ancestor in a short time and turn back immediately, the battery will be exhausted before we have time to get out of the hole, and the consequences will be quite serious.
Not only is this problem, but in such a deep underground there is not enough oxygen, and it is easy to get tired from strenuous physical labor, and Lin Mei and I are already quite tired.
We drank some water, turned off the lights and rested for a while, and Xiaoxue jumped out of my head and ran to the opposite bank, putting all the gold, silver and jewelry scattered on the ground into the Qiankun bag. It's not a treasure cave on the other side, it's just that the old camel scattered some gold and silver jewelry to create illusions to deceive us, so the amount is not much, but now the value of jewelry and the like is rising, and it should be able to sell for a lot of money.
I guess the treasure location is somewhere in this cave, not too far away from us, but now we don't have enough time to find it, the old lost camel is still lurking in the dark, there are many dangers, it is really not the time to find the treasure, it is still important to find the great-master.
I fastened the three long ropes and fixed them on the edge of the cliff, I grabbed the rope and went down first, found a foothold and then stopped and waited for Lin Mei to come down. This great rift valley is definitely cracked because of the earth's crust changes, straight up and down, with no end in sight, and only three or four meters wide, which gives people an extremely oppressive feeling, and there is always a terrifying feeling that the two sides will suddenly close and break us.
There are very few places to step on the stone wall, but fortunately, the surface of the stone wall is dry and rough, and the foot is not easy to slip. It didn't take long for me to feel that the temperature inside was even higher than above, and the heat was rising, and the heat was coming from below!
The further down the temperature becomes, the lower it is about 200 meters, and the bottom is still not visible, the stone wall is hot, and the air is also hot, in my estimation it has exceeded 40 degrees, and normal people can't stand it for long even if they stand still. I can adjust the balance of yin and yang in the body, and I can still hold it, Lin Mei's breath is short, and her face is flushed, but she doesn't sweat anymore, because the sweat has been dried before it has gathered.
I was surprised, could it be that there really is lava underground? In a place with such a high temperature, it was roasted and dried up in a few days, how could Zeng Shizu have stayed down for about fifty years? Maybe I'm in the wrong place.
I finally found a place where I could stand, I used the negative aura to cool Lin Mei, and said to her: "It's hotter down there, you stay here, I'll go down and take a look......"
"No, I'm going with you, you said you wouldn't leave me anywhere, I can hold on!" Lin Mei said firmly.
"I'm afraid that Master Zeng is not here, Xiaoxue, what do you see?"
Xiaoxue said: "I don't know, I don't have telepathy with your great-master, or you can try to communicate with him." ”
I adjusted my breath, calmed down, and meditated with all my heart: Where are you, Great Master? Where are you......
A few minutes passed, and there was no induction, so I asked Xiaoxue again: "Your induction has always been very sensitive, can you sense that there are living people below?" ”
"......No," Xiaoxue looked a little uncertain, "maybe the environment here is not good for me, I can't sense too far away." ”
"So did you sense the old camel?"
"No, maybe when we were at the entrance of the cave, I sensed its threat, and it knew about my existence, and then it used some kind of spell to prevent me from sensing it."
I was secretly frightened, the old camel's ability seemed to be higher than I thought, could three boulders really stop it? If it cuts the rope on it, we don't want to go up again.
Just when I was nervous, I suddenly felt the call of my great-master again: It's almost here.
This kind of telepathy is a thought that suddenly arises, and it can also be said that it suddenly understands a simple meaning, and it is not really to hear the voice or communicate with each other, before today, I didn't know that there was such a way of communication on this shijie, it seems that the cultivation of the great master ancestor is close to the level of an immortal.
Coming soon means that we are on the right track. Lin Mei and I cheered up and continued to go down, the three ropes were at the end or not to the end, fortunately we brought a lot of ropes, and the ropes were tied with iron buckles, and they were directly buckled. After descending another thirty or forty meters, the space suddenly opened up, and it felt like it was on the top of a mountain, and there was a faint red light.
From the beginning of drilling into the hot hole, we passed through a thick granite formation and arrived at the lava cave, as if we were in another shijie. Then I came here from the bottom of the lava cave through a large crack up to 300 meters high, but it was on the top of the mountain, which is really underground and ground, and there are mountains under the mountain, which is hard to believe. Judging by the height, we may have reached the depths of the Genting Mountain, at the very heart of the mountain.
Where the red light is emitted, I can't see the light source directly because of the angle, the red light is not very bright, dark red, like a touch of zuihou before dark stained red shijie, it looks solemn and lonely. Although the light is not bright, I can already see most of the places with my eyesight, and on the top of a lonely cliff less than twenty meters away from me, there is a person sitting cross-legged, with his hair combed in a bun, wearing a Taoist robe, his eyebrows are high, his nose is like a hanging gall, and he has three strands of black beard, like a fairy man.
Sure enough, it was the great-master ancestor, exactly the same as what I saw on the portrait of the ancestor, except that his eyes were slightly closed and he was motionless. I'm really excited, I've gone through countless difficulties and dangers, and finally met my great-master, my future is hopeful, I don't have to worry about being hunted down and bullied anymore!
I walked forward quickly, and Lin Mei followed closely behind me, a little surprised: "Zeng Shizu looks so young, huh?" ”
"yes, why are you so young?" Xiaoxue was also a little puzzled, "Didn't you say that he was more than a hundred years old?" ”
I didn't feel good and said: "You are more than 800 years old, you look younger, he was only in his fifties when he went up the mountain, his cultivation is profound, and he will not be old when he enters the turtle breath state later, it is normal!" ”
Explaining to Lin Mei and Xiaoxue in my mouth, I was also shaken in my own heart, the great-master ancestor in front of me was indeed too young, but it was the great-master who saved my life with telepathy, and then guided me to get here, there could be no fake.
