Chapter 53: The Charm of the Spirit
The big mountain on the back of the Yuntou urn under everyone's feet was completely moved to the back of the Yuntou urn through the refining technique of the Refining Sect through the refining technique and the addition of many magical powers.
Even in Xiancai Prefecture, it is very famous, and in addition to the land where the residence is carved, the Zheng family does not know what treasures are hidden in other places on the mountain.
Not only did he not know, but he didn't send someone to search inside.
If someone is willing to go inside to hunt for treasures, thinking that they are lucky enough to meet the treasure and make a fortune, then they only need to deliver the corresponding customs clearance documents and a certain amount of Hu fees to the Zheng family, and they can pass through the canal barrier under the leadership of the Zheng family mountain people, and then they can do whatever they want on the mountain.
Before that, there was a premise, that is, if something happened, they would be responsible, and the Zheng family would never bear any responsibility.
There are a total of five cloud-headed urns and three auspicious cloud dragons in Xiangyun City, the five cloud-headed urns are respectively responsible for the five families of Xiangyun City, the Zheng family has been working for the Zheng family for three hundred years, and this cloud-headed urn also has a history of nearly five hundred years, otherwise, it can't carry such a big mountain.
Five hundred years of cultivation is enough to cultivate into an adult and reach the heavenly realm when placed on any word and a cave beast.
But this Yuntou urn of the Zheng family is willing to serve the Zheng family for a hundred years as a beast, not only to repay the kindness of being rescued by the Zheng family, but more importantly, the willingness in his heart.
Only if you want to, can you live freely.
On this day, a group of treasure hunters gathered in front of the canal at the foot of the mountain.
There are about twenty treasure hunters, roughly divided into seven teams.
In the team of three, there was a shirtless stout man, nearly nine feet tall, with a mace on his back, and on either side of him, stood a thinly dressed woman with a seven-eight-point appearance, each holding a bottle in her hand, and a willow branch stuck in the bottle.
In the other two teams of three, there is a man in each of them, and the other two women are dressed in the same way, but the things in their hands are very different, there are dusts and seals.
There was also a team of five people, very peculiar, everyone was dressed in white, with a long sword hanging from their waists, and behind them were carrying a brown box, and the woman standing in the team wore a hat on her head, and a white veil was around it, covering her face and not being seen from anyone.
The rest of the team included a green-shirted swordsman with only one person, who also wore a hat, but his hat was full of sword marks, far less elegant and beautiful than the woman.
There is also a person with empty hands, with two long and short swords of different sizes hanging on his waist, the long sword has no sheath, the sword body is sparkling, there seems to be a small fish wandering, making a ding dong sound, there is a painting on the scabbard of the short sword, the immortal stands up and kills the demons.
There is also a two-person team, the man holds a bamboo fan, the fan is painted with an old man playing chess, gently shake the bamboo fan, you can feel a cool meaning from the dantian all over the body, wash the muscles and bones, cool.
There is also a sachet on the man's waist, and there is also a picture of an old woman's laundry on the sachet, which emits a faint mint smell and refreshes people's hearts.
The woman was holding a chicken leg and sugar gourd in her hand, and was eating it without hurry.
The aqueduct is a forbidden barrier that separates the connection between the mountain and the mountain, as long as you enter it, you must follow the law, once you violate the ban, you will be punished by the thunder, and it will not be tolerated.
The most important thing is that the Zheng family is also inextricably linked with a sect in Xiancaizhou, even if the treasure hunter does not look at the face of the Zheng family, he must weigh whether he is enough to plug the forces behind the Zheng family.
This is also the reason why the Zheng family's centennial worship of the magpie mother-in-law, why it is safe to rest assured that Zheng Xuan will travel to the mainland alone, not only because of the escort mission, but more importantly, she is from the Baoguanmen who is good at using various magic weapons.
There was a path in the canal, and in the middle of the path stood an old man smoking a dry cigarette, wearing a cloth shirt and a hat full of patches.
It has been more than 100 years since the old man was in charge of the operation of the canal in the Zheng family.
Every year, some people come to the mountains to hunt for treasures, but it is really the first time that so many people have entered the mountains together, and the old man feels very lively, and he laughs from ear to ear, and hurriedly asks everyone to move to his residence.
A fresh and elegant bamboo building, with two floors.
The bamboo building looks very ordinary from the outside, but there is a hole inside.
The bamboo building built next to a waterfall is surrounded by water mist all day long, so it has a sense of cold water, even in the hot summer, living in it will not feel any heat.
The furnishings in the bamboo building are very particular, there are three rooms on the first floor, which are the kitchen, bedroom and tea room, and there are also three rooms on the second floor, which are the study, the chess room, and the utility room.
The utility room is filled with some old objects, and they are neatly placed without a trace of dust.
In fact, there is more than one old man in this bamboo building, and now there is a teenager sitting in the study.
At the boy's feet was a bamboo basket with a pile of stones, and next to the basket sat a painted puppeteer, carrying some firewood.
The young man was flipping through an ancient book, with a cyan wine jug in his hand, and he took two sips from time to time, and soon, the study was full of wine.
The old man introduced the boy to the treasure hunters, and then led them to the back of the bamboo building, where there was a stone cave, through which they reached the mountain.
The mountain is a sad mountain, and the hole is not a small hole.
The old man instructed that this mountain peak is not big or small, it is five thousand miles, and it is spread out, which is enough for these people to walk for a year, so don't get lost in it because of some greed. There are many miasma in it, and there are some unknown creatures that inhabit here, but at the same time, they are also relieved, don't worry too much, as long as they don't take the initiative to provoke those cave beast elves who are cultivating here, they will not take the initiative to take action.
Another thing that must be remembered, that is, do not spend the night in the woods, especially when you are alone, be sure to find a cave before the sun sets, light a fire in it, if you can, you can also seal the hole with stones, remember, do not completely cover the hole entrance, so as not to completely seal the hole because of heavy rain, only in this way will not cause some night action cave beasts.
Zhou Tianshen was sitting by the window on the second floor of the bamboo building, and when he heard the old man's suggestion, he suddenly remembered the wild people he had met in Da Lei Mountain.
Now think about it, the reason why those wild people found them was because some people used their reasons for purification, and killed people in a rage, and that night kidnapping has not been answered accurately until now.
Yu Xiaodu had promised him that he would help him investigate this matter, he did not doubt Yu Xiaodu's efficiency, but as far as this matter was concerned, he didn't want Yu Xiaodu to be involved, he had an illusion that he was indeed too attached to one thing, so the more forces were involved behind it.
Zhou Tianshen is not a person who likes to trouble others, no matter where he is, it is the same.
After the old man finished speaking, those people said goodbye to the old man, and walked into the cave in an orderly manner, and when they all walked into the cave, the old man waited in place for a long time before leaving, and then returned to the bamboo building.
When the old man walked into the study, Zhou Tianshen had already put down the book, put all the books on the table on the shelf, put away the wine jug, and was about to leave the study, the old man hurriedly asked why.
Zhou Tianshen said that he had stayed here long enough, and if he didn't go into the mountains again, he wouldn't have much time.
The old man smiled and waved his hand, telling him not to be too anxious, the old man had already instructed him to change the route of this voyage, not to stop in Siyi Country, but to stop at a wharf in Heziyang, they had already contacted a big reef ship there, as long as they got on that boat, they could safely cross Heziyang and arrive in Xiancaizhou.
That sad mountain, Zhou Tianshen had already entered it once, stayed for about ten days, and encountered some interesting things there, as for what it was, Zhou Tianshen didn't want to say, and the old man didn't ask, just thought that he found some treasure there.
However, there is an unwritten rule in the sad mountain, that is, the treasure hunter can only go in once, if he comes out of the mountain, and wants to go in again, he must pay the entrance fee, Zhou Tianshen is a friend of Zheng Xuan, that is, the Zheng family's guest, this money naturally does not need to be given, but human favor is human favor, and rules are rules. If you want to enter the mountain for the second time, you have to wait five days before you can do it.
Yuntou urn is a well-known chronic son of Xiangyun country, not to mention that it is carrying a big mountain, which was originally a three-day journey, and it will take at least seven days to walk, plus a stop halfway, and the time to carry people, no matter what, it will take eight days.
It will take at least a month and a half from Xiangyun Country to Si Rong Country, and nearly a month from Si Yi Country to He Ziyang, so Zhou Tianshen can still afford to wait for five days.
After sitting down, the old man poured a cup of tea for Zhou Tianshen, picked up the cigarette stick himself, and began to swallow the clouds and smoke again.
The old man took two puffs of dry smoke, exhaled a large cloud of smoke, the smoke gathered into a ball in the air, and then exploded suddenly, like a meteorite from the sky, scattered everywhere, one of which fell on the top of the puppeteer's head, and the puppeteer fled in panic.
The old man smiled, rubbing his wrinkled face with his palms, "What did you encounter on the mountain?" To tell you the truth, the head of the family once wrote me a letter, explaining the specific matters along the way and the stakes on the mountain, including you, the guests from the Wuhe Kingdom, in which Li Menglan's noble status and Ren Tianhao's quirks, and even the Fuxi Gang's Heguan and the Jiu Emperor of Huanyuguan, all talked more or less about how to deal with them, but only you were missing. In fact, it can't be said that you are missing, but there is very little information about you, how can a teenager who has stayed in Laohuai Village since he was a child have the money to afford a golden wine jug, from the first time I saw you, I had an intuition, you are not a simple person. ”
The old man refilled the cigarette stick with some tobacco, and this time he only took a small puff, "I, Ge Sanliang, am not a person who likes to inquire about things, let alone chew the root of people's tongues behind my back, but there is one thing, love is more serious, you really haven't encountered some opportunities related to yourself?"
Zhou Tianshen said with a smile, "Senior, how can the opportunity that you hold in your hands not be related to yourself?"
Ge Sanliang smiled.
Zhou Tianshen took a sip of hot tea, felt that wine was better, opened the wine jug, brought two cups, and poured a glass for himself and the old man.
Ge Sanliang didn't take the wine glass, only said that he quit, but Zhou Tianshen insisted on letting him take a sip, Ge Sanliang took a small sip symbolically, swallowed the wine, and then felt a warm current flow down his spine into the tail vertebrae, and then he didn't feel anything.
By the time the old man woke up, it was already afternoon, and Zhou Tianshen was sorting out the bookshelves.
Ge Sanliang straightened up, the glass of wine on the table had bottomed out, the cigarette stick was hung on the wall, there was originally a long sword hanging there, but now there was nothing, only a smoking gun, the old man looked at the cigarette gun, as if he had seen an old friend, his cloudy eyes flashed with a touch of brilliance.
Seeing Ge Sanliang wake up, Zhou Tianshen stopped what he was doing and poured him another cup of hot tea.
Ge Sanliang seemed to be very thirsty and drank quickly, and it didn't take long for the teapot to bottom out.
Ge Sanliang still felt thirsty and was about to get up and go out to boil water, but was stopped by Zhou Tianshen and asked, "How do you feel now?"
What does it feel like?
Thirst, drowsiness.
What else could there be?
Ge Sanliang looked at Zhou Tianshen's eyes in confusion, and the latter smiled silently.
Ge Sanliang suddenly realized, trembling and stretched out his arm, the original black spot had disappeared, and the old man was shocked, "It's you?"
Zhou Tianshen sat on the bamboo chair opposite Ge Sanliang, took out a cyan wine jug, and threw it into the latter's hand, "This is what a friend of mine taught me, drinking a sip every day is good for your injuries." That adult four-return bear has been skinned and cramped by me, so you don't have to think about revenge anymore, as long as you heal the wounds on your body, you can pick up the sword again and get out of here. ”
Being told by Zhou Tianshen that he had been accumulating in his heart for a long time, but had never said it to anyone, did not embarrass the old man, but rather a relief.
Ge Sanliang put away the wine jug and said with a smile, "Thank you, little brother, I've been here for decades and don't want to go out anymore, as for that sword, hehe, I never dropped it, it just accompanied me in a different way." Well, I already know what I want to know, so I'm not going to stop you. If you want to go into the mountains, you must hurry, the previous group is menacing. If they really let them take away all the treasures, the Zheng family doesn't care, it's not ours anyway, but you won't feel distressed?"
Zhou Tianshen stood up, the puppeteer followed, walked out of the study with the old man, and walked down the bamboo building.
"I'm going to die of distress. ”
——————
The sad mountain is divided into three layers, one at the foot of the mountain, one layer halfway up the mountain, and one layer at the top.
After the treasure hunters came out of the cave, they parted ways.
The three three-person teams belonged to a family, all from the Broken Earth Valley of the Six Great Sects of the Village, and a total of nine of them were distributed at the foot of the mountain, relying on the treasures in the hands of the women to find other treasures.
This treasure hunt was the result of the unanimous decision of all the elders of the Broken Earth Valley, and for the great battle in the near future, they could be said to have worked hard, thinking that even if they couldn't eat meat, they would have to drink some fleshy soup.
Breaking the Earth Valley is the smallest of the six major sects, it has only been two hundred years since the establishment of the sect, and there are no Heavenly Realm masters under the sect, only a few Earth Realm powerhouses, plus two worshippers at the peak of the Earth Tibetan Realm, compared to other sects, the combat power is definitely pitiful.
Therefore, with the advice and support of the people behind them, they sent the three new generation of talented people under their door to this Yuntou urn, thinking that they would find some unborn treasures in the Sad Mountain, just to fill the emptiness of the sect.
The birth and belonging of every secret realm will cause a bloody storm, which has nothing to do with your status and identity, even if you don't want to fight for the secret realm, but as long as you are a little contaminated, it will lead to death.
The team of five people is a nursery house with twelve rooms, they are also secretly planning at the foot of the mountain, and soon there is a harvest, and the five of them found two fairy grasses, namely twisted tears and sweet night grass, which are rare treasures in the world.
The rise of the nursery house is related to the rice ear, and the previous transaction between Jiuxiang County and Meng Fan is also one of its suggestions, but people are not as good as the sky, this transaction has been considered to have died before it was implemented, but it did not give up, but turned its attention to Xiancaizhou.
It was originally a rice ear essence that had been cultivated for a hundred years, and it had no physical body, but it had already cultivated the three souls, and it also gave itself a name called a hundred years old spike.
Bai Sui knew that his qualifications were limited and he could not cultivate into a human form like Fan Fang and the old man, but he was unwilling to do so, and decided to achieve this plan by snatching other people's bodies, and his first target was Zhou Tianshen, but Zhou Tianshen was protected by Yu Xiaodu by his side, and he didn't give him a chance to do it at all.
The name of Yu Xiaodu can be used as a pass anywhere in the village, for example, this sad mountain secret realm is the Zheng family invited the lord of Wuhe to come forward, and Li Xiao went to find the Yu Xiaodu, and then the Yu Xiaodu and the sect related to the Zheng family in Xiancai Prefecture jointly created the escapist enchantment.
As long as he is young, no one can move Zhou Tianshen.
Luckily, it has a new plan.
The green-shirted swordsman wore a hat on his head, stepped on a long sword, jumped into the air, and the sword qi was like a silk horse, leaving a gorgeous tail in the air, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the halfway up the mountain, where there was a man and a woman who were watching me, not caring at all about the onlookers.
The woman had already eaten the food in her hand before she went up the mountain, and she had also used chicken bones to trap a small four-legged beast in a small hole.
The four-legged beast has a small sharp horn on the top of its head, six whiskers on its face, triangular eyes, and a spiral of sharp horns, on which there is a touch of brilliance, which attracts the girl's attention the most.
The man had already seen through the true body of the four-legged beast, a kind of phantom beast, and the real body shape was like a water tank in the world, which could cause others to fall into an illusion through the sharp horns on its head, and finally eat those cultivators who were out of tune, so as to improve their own cultivation.
The real body is far larger than the four-legged beast in the eyes of the woman, the real body is called Yitai Niu, it is one of the cave beasts that grow in a small hole, and it has not yet appeared, unlike other cave beasts, the small hole is its only hometown.
The man didn't break the trick of the Itai cow, but just thought that it would be a good choice for the woman to have a small pet by her side, so that he would save himself a lot of trouble.
Maybe the Zheng family didn't know that there would be so many treasures in their own home.
At present, the Tianshou Continent has developed a total of ten secret realms, which are in Cunzhou, Zhongzhou, Yazhou, Xiancaizhou, Babaoyang, Baiyang, Feiyu Prefecture, and Nanzhou, among which the one in Cunzhou is this sad mountain.
There are two in Zhongzhou and Baiyang.
The Tianshou Continent has a vast area, and there are still many undeveloped places, those thousand-year-old great sects and families usually call such places secret realms, and the nameless mountain behind Lao Huai Village itself is a huge treasure house, if you use special formations and means to trap it, it can definitely become a secret realm on the list.
It's just that no one has ever set foot in it, so it's not on the list.
The first birth of the secret realm is still in Xiancai Prefecture, where there is a long street that only appears in the first month, the whole long street is a long line, the houses on both sides are towering, you can't see the edge at a glance, and the legend has not been completed so far.
The long street will only be alive for a month, and in this month, only people who are really destined will enter it, but after so many years of exploration and exploration, there is a sect called Baoguanmen in Xiancaizhou, and it already knows the way to enter the secret realm, as long as you hold the token made by Baoguanmen yourself, the gate of the bazaar will automatically open in a special place.
The men and women came from the Hokanmon Gate, and the real purpose of this visit was to find out the origin of the mountain and the origin of the mountain.
The man opened the folding fan, and the old man in the fan was still playing chess, but when you looked closely, you would find that the old man's fingers were not pinching the chess pieces to play chess, but to review the game.
The old man quietly put down the chess pieces in his hand, and the whole folding fan emitted a devastating firelight, the man shook the folding fan, and the firelight condensed into a vague figure in the air, and the man said respectfully, "Teacher." ”
The figure let out a surprised sound, and instead of looking at the apprentice kneeling on the ground, he floated to the four-legged beast, and the woman saw the figure, smiled, and said crisply, "Grandpa Tang." ”
The figure nodded, twisting his beard with his fingers, looking a little sad, but in fact he was overjoyed, and shouted at the man kneeling on the ground, "An Sanjiu, this little beast is very interesting, you send it to the door, I want to study it carefully." ”
The man, whose real name is An Sanjiu, is also the old man's closed disciple, replied, took off the sachet on his waist, and the old woman on the sachet seemed to be dissatisfied and threw the clothes in her hand to the ground, the picture stopped abruptly, An Sanjiu silently said 'Don't blame', and then put the four-legged beast into the sachet, and the bulging sachet gradually dried up under the man's gentle shaking.
The old man pinched his fingers, and after getting an accurate answer, he said with satisfaction, "I have already received it, well, yes, I didn't expect to have such a harvest just after coming here, you and look patiently, the grade of this secret realm is by no means lower than that of Changyu Street in your hometown." ”
An Sanjiu should be, the figure is scattered, turning into starlight and scattering.
An Sanjiu took the woman's hand and walked towards the mountain.
The swordsman was long gone.
The view from the top of the mountain is always the best, whether the person on the top of the mountain is the best or not.
The swordsman wearing the double sword smiled self-deprecatingly, leaned over, picked a small flower that grew stubbornly in the crack of the stone, put it in the palm of his hand, and blew lightly, the small flower turned into a pile of powder, which was lifted in the air by the swordsman.
This is the fragility of life and the loneliness of the strong.
When you stand at the top of the world and look down, you will find that the world is like a little daughter-in-law who is bullied, so pitiful. When you want to help her, it's not that she's afraid of who you are, who she's afraid of putting on a bad name for her and driving you away. It's that you dislike her identity, dislike her for bringing you bad luck, and turn around and leave.
In a word, either you dislike her, or she is afraid of you, only by abandoning the distractions of the world, resentment and pity, can you become a real strong person in the world.
This is what the swordsman's old master told him on his deathbed, and he has always remembered it.
But the strongest person in the world still has to stay in this world, otherwise how can he be called the strongest person in the world.
The swordsman doesn't want to stay with his little daughter-in-law, he wants to be a big hero, the kind that no one is afraid of.
The old man lamented, and finally slapped the swordsman and died.
Didn't speak again, didn't say those great truths anymore, didn't open your eyes again, is this death?
It wasn't until the moment when the master wailed that he understood that the master was really dead.
This is death.
The swordsman didn't know if Master's death had anything to do with him, but Master's daughter said something and she told her not to enter her house again for the rest of her life, especially not to go to her room to look for her again.
She slapped him.
The swordsman is gone, just like the master's last words.
He threw away his compassion for the world and left there.
Until the master's enemy came to the door and was about to burn the master and the little sister to death, he rushed into the sea of fire, squatted down, closed the eyes of the master, and watched the sister being swallowed by the flames little by little, without any expression.
This time, he truly let go of his pity.
He killed all the bad guys, cut off their heads, placed them in front of Master's grave, and then set fire to ashes Master's grave and those dead heads.
The next day, he left the place where he was born and raised.
He was driven away.
It has been more than 60 years since the tragedy that shocked Huangzhao College in Zhongzhou, and he has also been hunted down for more than 60 years. Now in the list of strange things in Huang Zhao Academy, Li Tiantian's name is still at the top of the list, and he slaughters the most laypeople.
That's not a good reputation.
It's good that he never explains.
Li naturally squatted on the ground and sighed, "Master, Master, you said that only when you are the strongest person in the world will you not feel troubles and resentment, let alone feel compassion because of a Pingshui encounter." But I'm already the strongest, so I still can't forget her. ”
"I still remember the first time I went to eat her wontons, the taste was really unforgettable, there were a few people who were making trouble unreasonably, didn't they just want to eat the overlord meal, and they scolded people, and smashed the stalls, not just a few copper plates, as for it, so I kindly helped them pay for it. But why, not only did this group of people not think of me, but they came to rob my money bag, and also robbed my big fish and small shrimp, and if the money bag is gone, there will be no more, but the big fish and small shrimp are left to me by you, why should they take them, I am angry, so I will kill them. You don't know how scared she was when I cut off their necks, and she knelt in front of me and told me not to kill her. Of course I wouldn't kill her, and I wanted to keep eating her wontons, but the next day, she moved away, and I never ate her wontons again. ”
"I wanted to pay them so they wouldn't make trouble, but they bullied me in turn. I helped her get rid of the bad guys, but she was afraid of me, hid, and refused to see me until now. ”
"I just wanted to help them, but one by one, they all turned against me. ”
"Senior sister too, it was she who told me not to appear in front of her, even if she died, I didn't want to save her, but when she was really about to die, she kept calling my name in her mouth, she wanted me to save her, how could it be? She is Master's daughter, Master has warned us since childhood, if you want to say the same, how can she go back on her word, she is not worthy of being your daughter, she is not worthy, so I killed her with my own hands, let her go to Huangquan Road, kowtow to you and admit her mistakes. ”
Li naturally stood up, wiped away the tears on his face, smiled at the breeze, his big sleeves were out of the clouds, his temples were frosty, and he was up to the sky.
This world does not need the strongest, because the strongest is against the way of heaven.
The world also doesn't need the weak, because the weak make the strong less like the strong.
Li naturally turned around, and the whole person slowly floated into the air, two long and short swords stood on his side, and the long sword sword qi was like a water pump, opening the gate and releasing water, surging, and flooding the entire mountain.
The short sword slowly came out of the sheath, the small jasper, ashamed to see people, the sword qi was like the eye of a needle, the small hole was breathable, and it was not clear.
The green-shirted swordsman tried his best to suppress the horror in his heart, and tried to stretch out his right hand to pull out the bamboo sword, his hands were clenched, and the sword qi gathered but did not condense, forming the heaviest barrier in his life in front of him, but in front of Li Nature's sword qi, he could only watch him shatter into slag.
The green-shirted swordsman lost.
Before he made a move, he had already lost.
The bamboo sword was stuck diagonally on the ground, and the word Chixiao was written on the hilt.
Li naturally closed his fingers, and the bamboo sword flew in front of him, placed horizontally, and stood upright.
Li naturally said, "Chixiao, it turns out that you are Liu Bofu, the eight swords of Huang Zhaozi Temple, the law enforcer, who specializes in killing demons and evil powers, but unfortunately, you can't kill me, the big devil." You'd better go back. ”
Li naturally flicked his fingers on the bamboo sword, and there was a slight fluctuation on the bamboo sword, and when it flew into the hand of the green-shirted swordsman, it had already turned into an ordinary piece of bamboo.
Li naturally said, "When you get the real Chixiao Sword, come to me for trouble again, and you won't send it slowly." ”
Liu Bofu stuck the bamboo behind his waist, turned his head and flew down the mountain.
Li naturally looked at the wild flowers all over the mountains and quietly entered the forest, leaving only two swords, a big fish and a small shrimp.
When he entered the mountains and forests with a divine will, he did not envy the immortals. There are four ghosts in the world, and watch me slay the devil.
There are actually four floors in the Sadness Mountain.
On the fourth floor, among the white clouds above the top of the mountain, there were only two people sitting in a place the size of a palm.
One person is free and easy, and his long clothes are fluttering.
One person is drunk and smoked, and the buds are white.
There was a futon under Yuan Liweng's buttocks, and there seemed to be needles on the futon, which made him restless and writhing all the time.
Fan Jinyi was so drunk that he couldn't open his eyes, and when he heard the movement around him, he slapped it over, and it was quiet in an instant.
Yuan Liweng pouted and said, "This is the burial place prepared for me? It doesn't look good, it's not as good as the mountains in my hometown." ”
Fan Jinyi burped and said with a sense of alcohol, "It's not as good as home, but you have to understand us, there are always people who have to sacrifice first, but don't worry, I won't let you go alone." ”
Yuan Liweng pushed Fan Jinyi aside, pointed to the two swords below and said, "I don't want him to accompany me, reciting poetry all day long, who can stand it." ”
The flush on Fan Jinyi's cheeks receded, and he sobered up a little and said, "He naturally has other uses, I mean Xiaodu, he's dying." Having drunk the wine of the dead made with his heart's blood, he would never have survived this winter. Would you like him to accompany you?"
Yuan Liweng had a stinky face and said coldly, "This world is so boring. ”
——————
After living in the bamboo building for a while, Zhou Tianshen set off through the small hole and went to the sad mountain.
Before he left, the old man gave him a lamp and told him that the big hole was the real interesting part of the whole sad mountain, and it was up to him to see if he dared to go there. As long as you hold a green paper lamp, you can walk into another place that is not a small hole, where real treasures are hidden.
Zhou Tianshen lit the blue paper lamp, the paper lamp emitted a faint blue light, and where the light shone, a cyan path appeared in the wide cave, and when he moved the blue paper lamp away, the path disappeared again.
Zhou Tianshen concluded that this road was the way to another big hole.
He carried a green paper lamp and walked slowly along the path.
The second time he entered the big hole, it still brought Zhou Tianshen a lot of shock.
The small hole is definitely as the name suggests, the whole cave mouth looks small, but there is a hole inside.
Natural stalactites hang upside down on the roof of the cave, one every ten steps, and the stalactites are mostly milky white, and there are some rarer red, pink.
Underneath these colors, most of them are exotic flowers and plants with petals as big as dustpans and grass stems as long as spears and swords, and some stones that have been substantially changed by the sap that flows from the bottom of the stalactites for many years.
There are a few in Zhou Shentian's bamboo basket.
When he was in the Nameless Mountain, Jin Quanyi was once instructed by Meng Cheng, and Jin Quanyi told Zhou Tianshen how to identify those strange stones, so Zhou Tianshen still knew some of the stones in the cave.
For example, Zhou Tianshen stepped on this cyan stone under his feet, the stone is irregular oval, the surface is quite smooth, there is a tender white silk thread inside, and another silk thread is wound around the silk thread, this kind of stone is called a double-line pebble, which can hatch elves.
However, this probability is very small, because in the cave that few people visit, there is no superfluous elixir to catalyze its growth except for the juice of stalactites, and in the eyes of the world, especially those who only prove immortality, unless that person's head is caught in the iron door, the world and resources will be wasted on such small stones.
Probably Zhou Tianshen's head was caught by the iron door, and he had collected a total of fifteen of these stones, five pale white, six black, two red, and two cyan.
Different colors represent the ability of the stone to hatch spirits with different attributes.
Pale white is a light spirit that can transform its spiritual power into light, black is darkness, red is burning, and cyan is a hurricane.
Ge Sanliang once reminded him that there is nothing wrong with collecting stones, and there is nothing wrong with hoping that the stones can hatch elves, but you must not pin all your hopes on elves, let alone waste time and energy, once you fall into it, the moment you return to your senses is also the moment when your Dao heart is lost.
Zhou Tianshen still remembered Ge Sanliang's expression and action when he said this, he really looked like an innocent little daughter-in-law.
Of course, Zhou Tianshen would not think so.
He just thought it was funny.
A little further on, where the cave beasts live.
The cave beasts here are different from those of the Nameless Mountain, they do not really live in caves, but many people think that they belong to the same family as the cave beasts living in caves, so they are also called cave beasts, and they live on stone walls.
Kind of like a rock wall snake.
There are many kinds of cave beasts on the rock wall, but most of them can't be named by Zhou Tianshen, such as the one in front of him who stopped Zhou Tianshen... Four-legged goose?
The creature with four legs under its body and a head like a goose was also the first cave beast that Zhou Tianshen encountered in the small hole, twice.
Zhou Tianshen really didn't know its name.
But it doesn't matter, the cave beasts here are very gentle, maybe it's because they don't see a few people all year round, they don't have the emotion of danger in their bones, they are probably born.
Zhou Tianshen threw a few stones in front of it, pale white, and the four-legged goose swallowed the stones very obediently, and slowly got out of the way. When Zhou Tianshen passed, it slowly returned to its original place, waiting for the next person to bring it food.
The cave beasts here love to eat the rocks here.
On this part of the road, Zhou Tianshen walked very easily, because he could always meet very interesting cave beasts.
There are those who pretend to be dead, those who are in company, and those who drag their families with their mouths.
When you come across one, you drop a few stones, and soon, the basket is empty.
This is also the reason why Zhou Tianshen feels relaxed.
Further on, it is the end of the small hole, the road that only opens under the light of the blue paper lamp, along the entrance of the hole, and marks a deep footprint on the wall.
Zhou Tianshen put down the bamboo basket and took out two dawns from it, this kind of stone can be used as a street lamp, injected with spiritual power, the milky white light lit up, no worse than the green paper lamp, he threw the stone into the air hard, and it took a long time to hear a 'bang', and the stone fell on Zhou Tianshen's hand.
According to the light emitted by dawn, you can see that there is a large space above the stone wall, which is inhabited by big-eared bats, and there are no traces of cyan footprints on the stone wall.
Sure enough, the big hole was up there.
Zhou Tianshen tried to adhere the spiritual power to the soles of his feet, holding a blue paper lamp, stepping on the cyan footprints on the stone wall, and walking up step by step.
At first, there was no discomfort, but when he walked twenty-three steps, Zhou Tianshen felt lightheaded, his chest seemed to be squeezed by a boulder, it was difficult to breathe, he called spiritual power, and the golden seeds emitted a faint faint light.
Wisps of golden spiritual power as thin as hair swam along the veins of muscles and bones, leaving golden points of light along the way clinging to the gaps between bones and flesh, and golden beacon towers rose from the ground, watching the surrounding situation.
When that wisp of golden spiritual power swam all over the body, the feeling of suffocation gradually disappeared, followed by a feeling of oppression that had never been experienced before.
It's like being left on an empty island, the silence is silent, the sky is black, and you can only hear the sound of your own heart beating, no matter how loud you shout, you will only be muffled by the sound of your heartbeat.
Zhou Tianshen tried to walk forward, but in exchange for the sound of broken bones.
Countless wings flapping sounded in my ears, could it be those big-eared bats waking up?
Zhou Tianshen tried his best to raise the hand holding the blue paper lamp, the blue light shone around, there was no living thing in the empty space, the bamboo basket was put into the cunshou by him, there were two dawns in his hand, Zhou Tianshen threw the stone under him, with the faint white light, looking down, there was nothing.
Another stone was thrown upwards, and the white light illuminated the way forward, and there was no large-eared bat.
Zhou Tianshen exhaled lightly, and quickly took another breath, the pressure of the surrounding space made his internal organs almost dislocated, the blood flowed backwards, and his mind was blurred.
He didn't know where he was, but he knew for sure that he was going to die, but it was possible to get to another hole first.
He wiped the blood from his face, rubbed his eyes, the cyan footprint road was almost at the end, he opened his eyes vigorously, and counted them step by step.
Five, four, three, two, one......
The sun was dazzling, the air was cold, and Zhou Tianshen, who was wearing only a thin shirt, woke up with a stomachache.
He propped himself up with his right hand, and rubbed his stomach with his left hand, which made a gurgling sound, and looked left and right, there was no one, only a bluestone road, and at the end of the road was a bronze door.
Zhou Tianshen had seen bronze products in the book, which were very similar in color to this door, but there was not so much rust.
He struggled to his feet, the blue paper lamp on his left, about two paces away.
All the oil in the blue paper lamp spilled out and flowed all over the ground, and the wick had begun to rot and could not be lit.
Fortunately, we have already arrived at the place.
Walking through the bluestone road, pushing open the bronze door, only to feel a burst of embroidery air rushing to his face, Zhou Tianshen subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he had reached the third layer of the sad mountain.
He had been here once, and he had some impressions, and when he turned his head, he saw that the bronze door was there, and it had not disappeared.
Not an illusion.
But he didn't see the bronze door last time.
In a daze, the sky and the sea of clouds rolled, and thunder and lightning as thick as a water tank drilled out from the depths of the sea of clouds and smashed on the ground, the earth shattered, and mud debris flew all over the sky.
A slender figure emerged from the thunderclouds with a golden cloud at its feet.
The figure lowered his head, looked at Zhou Tianshen with a smile, and said, "Zhou Tianshen, long time no see." ”
