Volume 1 The Years of the Mountain City Chapter 38 The Celestial Master Token
The seven of them cautiously followed the rope, dodged the rocks, bypassed the trees and grasses, and landed on the platform that Long Tian said.
The platform is not big, only three zhang square, except for some gravel, dead wood and fallen leaves, there is nothing else. The platform is covered by a tall canopy of trees on all sides, and it's hard to imagine a place like this without looking closely.
The platform is very flat, as if it has been repaired by man. In the center of the platform, there is a square altar the size of one zhang, which is made of square stones, and I don't know how many years have passed, the entire altar has been dilapidated, and I can't see what it looked like.
It was only briefly mentioned in the information, so everyone took a closer look, and didn't bother to study it anymore, turned around and walked to the cave behind.
The entrance to the cave is oval and symmetrical, allowing three people to walk side by side. The entrance to the cave is covered with moss and weeds, but as long as you look closely, you can vaguely see that there are chisel marks on it, but it is estimated that it is only a small processing, and there are many natural formations.
The section in front of the cave was very straight, about five or six meters, before it began to bend and have two branches. So the two teams separated from each other on the left and right, and found that the further they went, the more obvious the chisel marks became.
After walking for about ten meters, the eyes suddenly opened up, and the bifurcation was connected here, and the two groups of people met together. But there are three more forks in the road.
"This is the fork in the road, and the middle one is presumably almost entirely artificially carved out, and is relatively wide and straight. The left and right sides are naturally formed and relatively narrow and tortuous. Our mission is to take care of the two caves. Right now, the dragon group is on the left, and the four of us are on the right. After Long Tian finished speaking, without waiting for the three of the dragon group to agree, he led people to the right fork.
"Long Tian, didn't the above say that they would act together?" Kong Qingyan looked at the deep and dark entrance of the cave and asked.
"One team is in charge of one, and they meet here by three o'clock in the afternoon, so that the task can be completed in one day, and we will leave and prepare to descend the mountain, without spending the night here. Before he finished speaking, his back had disappeared into the hole.
"This ......," Kong Qingyan paused.
"Forget it, Swallow. People don't want to come with us. Why should we bother to get up. The fat man said indignantly.
"Ling Lang, what do you think. Kong Qingyan turned her head sideways and asked Ling Lang's opinion.
"Let's eat something, refuel ourselves, and then we'll take the left road. As soon as you reach the required distance, you will immediately turn around and return here to meet. For some reason, Ling Lang always felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.
"Okay, that's it, let's all be careful later. Kong Qingyan is no longer entangled.
I ate some dry food and drank the water I had brought in. The three men got up and walked into the hole on the left.
This fork hole can only barely allow one adult to enter. Change the width and smoothness of the section I walked before, and some narrow places have to be passed on my stomach. Some places that are too narrow often have traces of artificial excavation, and others are basically naturally formed. The fork is winding and unfathomable, and I don't know where it leads.
"Eh, you say, we've been walking for nearly an hour, how can you feel that the air in here isn't a little dull?" The fat man seemed to be a little puzzled, it stands to reason that although the three of them stopped walking, they had already gone a few hundred meters deep into the mountain. Without vents, the air will definitely become very thin and difficult to breathe.
"There must be a vent, or an exit that leads to the other side. Kong Qingyan looked at the cave in front of her, which was composed of more stones and less soil, and touched the water vapor seeping from the cave wall. He replied with a frown.
"Kong Qingyan, do you feel that we have come all the way, although there are high and low, it is not very obvious, but we have actually been going down. Ling Lang opened his mouth and asked Kong Qingyan, who was walking in front.
"According to the data, the terrain of the cave in the middle is upward, but here it is downward. What do you mean?" Kong Qingyan tilted his head and thought about it, but before he could figure it out, he turned his head and asked.
"I suspect it's a dragon's den. Ling Lang said his guess.
"Looking for the dragon's lair? Looking for the dragon and dividing the gold, look at the winding mountain, a heavy entanglement is a heavy pass...... "The fat man hehehepi a little bit.
"You shut up, don't talk to no one when you're dumb. Kong Qingyan glared at the fat man.
"In fact, there is nothing wrong with the fat man's words, but it should be read as 'Looking for the dragon must be seen in the winding mountain, and a heavy entanglement is a heavy pass.'" You see, in addition to the beginning, there are now more and more small dark holes around, although they are only fist-sized and different, but this can also be seen as a lot of veins. ”
"Ling Lang, how do you still understand this. ”
"I saw it in a miscellaneous book. ”
"What miscellaneous books?" the fat man blurted out.
"The Book of Shaking the Dragon. ”
"What, wow?"
"The masterpiece of Yang Yunsong, a master of feng shui in the Tang Dynasty, is the most authoritative sacred text of dragon vein feng shui, and is known as 'the best of ancient Chinese surveying and mapping'. ”
"Hey, Yanzi, you know that too?" the fat man scratched his fat ears and snorted.
"You think everyone is like you. There is a collection of this book in the Dragon Group Archive. Kong Qingyan glanced at the fat man with contempt again.
"Sure enough, it's a 'mobile database'. Ling Lang couldn't help but admire. When I was still bored at my third uncle's house, I accidentally saw such a book on the table, so I flipped through it.
In fact, the latter sentence is more interesting. If there are a thousand locks on the door, there must be a prince living here. Ling Lang groaned again.
"You mean this could be a group of burial mounds?"
"I'm not sure about this, but the mound on the slope, I suspect that it used to be a fake tomb, and it is called the Ming Tomb in Feng Shui, also known as the Tomb Eye. Most of them appear in places where there are catacombs. Plus the altar outside, and the layout of the cave here. Very illustrative......"
"The layout of the hole?" the fat man didn't understand again.
"One life is two, two is three, three is everything, and the meaning is inexhaustible. The terrain of this valley is a dragon land, and the Qinling Mountains have been the main dragon veins of China since ancient times. With endless energy, the sun and moon absorb and seize at all times, and eventually become a dragon-devouring force. Ling Lang felt that he might have been influenced by Xu Xudong and began to become a "people's teacher".
"Ling Lang, I think you look like a 'mobile library' a lot. Kong Qingyan couldn't help but admire.
"Cut ,......". Seeing the swallow in front of himself, he praised other men. The fat man was a little unhappy in his heart, and he just wanted to express his "unique" opinion.
"Ah......h
It was Wang Feng's voice. Walk. Kong Qingyan didn't think about it, and immediately ran forward.
Ling Lang and the fat man glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed.
The deeper the entrance of the cave, the more small bifurcations you can see. When the three of them came to the fork in the cave that was about the same size in several places, they didn't know where to go.
"There's a soul that can be in turmoil, go, this way. Ling Lang suddenly felt his soul body tremble, said hello, and took the lead in rushing in.
I don't know how far I went, even the fat man felt the abnormality of the soul body, and it became stronger and stronger.
"Be careful. Kong Qingyan suddenly reminded him, but before Ling Lang could react, the soles of his feet were empty, and he rolled down.
It turned out to be dozens of stone steps. Ling Lang didn't care about the pain on his body, and hurriedly stabilized his body, so he didn't keep rolling to the end.
The three of them fixed their eyes and were scared, it was a big underground palace.
This underground palace is ten zhang high, square in shape, and nearly thirty zhang each has the front and back, the left and right. The small cave along the way makes people feel that it is more grand and open.
The roof of the cave and the walls of the cave, inlaid with something, emitted many faint fluorescents, shining on an altar in the innermost part of the underground palace. There is a tomb on the altar with a large stone tablet in front of the tomb. In front of the stele, there are twenty-one steps, which are much higher than ordinary stone steps. If you look closely, it turns out that the entire mountain is connected and dug up. At the base of the altar, there are also four stone statues nearly two meters high.
On Ling Lang's right hand, there is also a stone step, the size is similar to that under Ling Lang's buttocks, but it is much steeper, at the bottom of the stone steps, three of the four people in the Dragon Soul Group are lying, only Long Tian is still sitting diagonally.
In the dungeon, the vitality is full of vitality, and the soul can be agitated. Ling Lang seemed to have thought of something immediately, and hurriedly sat cross-legged.
"Open. "When you look at it, you can see it all.
In the soul domain, I saw Long Tian holding a peachwood sword, his clothes were torn, and the corners of his mouth were bloody, and he looked as embarrassed as he was.
There were four tall figures in front of Long Tian, which turned out to be the image of an ancient general. Wearing a crown and wearing a square piece armor, he knew at a glance that he was dressed as a Qin fashion.
The four Qin generals were all born tall, majestic, and vigorous. One of them had a square face, three short beards, and a long halberd, one had a round face, had a beard, and held a spear, one had a white face and no beard, and held a sword, and one had a black face and a beard, and stood in the front, and even made an eight-fold gourd hammer, as big as a bucket.
"Ha, there are three more, Zhai is just not enjoying the fight, but he is still too weak. It's a pity, it's a pity. The black-faced bearded general seemed to be smacking, as if he was facing a few plates of rare delicacies.
"Zhai Tu, don't talk nonsense, wait until you alarm the adults, see how to punish you. The white-faced general said coldly in the back.
"Sima Fei, don't know all the time to use adults to press me. The black-faced and bearded Zhai Tu seemed to be at odds with the white-faced general, humming and chirping in his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"Okay, Sima didn't plant it. I won't tease you, what means are there, just use it. Don't wait, you can't do it if you want to. Zhai Tu turned around again, threw the gourd hammer up, caught it again, and then pointed at everyone, and the sound of the wind brought by the huge hammer formed a mighty soul energy airflow, rushing to the face, only to feel that the soul body was vibrating, like fluttering in the wind.
"Lotus. Ling Lang hurriedly sacrificed the soul lotus and blocked the front, which made him feel better.
"Ling Lang, you and Kong Qingyan hurry up and take Fang Cheng and them away, I'll block here for a while. Long Tian began to cut his fingers again, dripping out three drops of Diamond Blood Yuan in a row.
The black-faced Zhai Tu on the opposite side didn't seem to care, and looked at Long Tian with interest and smiled.
"Up. "Long Tian's blood element turned into a fire dragon with a thick body, and the flames were steaming, as if it could melt gold and iron.
"Block, see how you block?"
"Go. With a loud shout, the eight-fluted golden gourd hammer grew in the wind, became the size of a table, and the light flew over.
"Ang ......" The dragon's groan was not finished, and it stopped abruptly halfway. The fire dragon only blocked the golden hammer slightly, and then turned into a sky full of sparks and disappeared completely.
"Well, it's not bad, that's kind of interesting. The golden hammer flew back upside down, but it didn't look like it was repulsed, but it looked like the other party took it on its own initiative.
"Let's go. Long Tian snorted and vomited another mouthful of blood.
Ling Lang, Kong Qingyan, and the fat man knew that at this time, they couldn't take care of it too much, the other party was too powerful, like a cat playing with a mouse, and it was not something that they could compete with at all. Hurriedly retracted the soul body, and wanted to run over and pull up Fang Cheng, who was lying on the ground and was almost silent.
"Do you want to go?" Zhai Tu swung the big golden hammer and smashed it into the ground of the soul domain, and the soul power scattered out like a wave, and the three of them only felt that their souls were about to be blown away all of a sudden, and they could still move there.
Just when the three of them wanted to control the resistance of the soul body, a scene of blue light suddenly blocked the soul wave that came from the impact.
"What?Celestial Master Token?"
