Chapter 19: The Secret of the Stone Chamber
After watching Mu Caidie and Zhu Xiaodan go to the stone room on the left side to sleep, Yan Wuping walked to the stone room on the right.
This is the secret place of apostasy, and only the sect leader of the whole sect knows this place, but he brought Mu Caidie and Zhu Xiaodan here, but this is really helpless. Because at that time, he had to escape the pursuit of Taikunmen, and Chu Dayun told him that he must come back here, and asked him to know the history and secrets of the apostasy, this is undoubtedly a good time, take this opportunity to come back and have a look, not to mention that he thought Zhu Xiaodan was a good friend, and Mu Caidie was a person in the sect, so he couldn't care so much. Let's figure out the three stone chambers first, and then go back to the Valley of Death after staying for a while.
But he didn't know exactly how long he would stay here, so Mu Caidie asked him like this, and he couldn't tell.
On the right side of the terrace, six stone chambers are hollowed out in the cliff wall, nearly two zhang high from top to bottom, and each stone chamber is about one zhang eight feet long and wide.
There are also six stone rooms on the right side, Yan Wuping has already checked them one by one when he was looking for food, three rooms are full of some food that can be stored for a long time, and the other three rooms have beds and some daily necessities, so he asked Mu Caidie and Zhu Xiaodan to go to the right side to rest.
The door of the stone chamber is made of a whole piece of rock, and it is very cleverly designed, but such a heavy stone door slowly pops open automatically with a slight push, and there is a stone buckle inside to control the counter-lock.
Mu Caidie guessed correctly, this place was indeed built hundreds of years ago, hundreds of years after leaving the religion, when the main altar was established on Shaoyang Mountain, this secret stone room was also built.
The purpose of building this secret stone chamber was to give the sect leader a place to hide from the enemy at the most critical moment.
In order to prevent leakage, only the sect leader himself knew that there was such a place, but unfortunately Chu Dayun died before he could enter the stone room.
According to Chu Dayun's statement before he died, the last three rooms on the right side not only contained the sect leader's token token, but also the secrets handed down by the sect masters of the past generations.
The sect masters of the past generations who left the sect came to Chu Dayun, there were a total of twenty-one before and after, what secrets were hidden here?
Yan Wuping smiled bitterly, he knew that no matter what secrets were here, they were all closely related to him.
The cliff was originally a stone, although it was not damp inside, but it was extremely cold, and Yan Wuping felt a chill when he walked into the corridor.
He had seen the first room before, and it contained some cured meat, five or six jars of wine, as well as some dry firewood and kitchen utensils.
The second room is a large bedroom with a thatched hut separating from it.
The third room is also a bedroom, and the structure is the same as the second room.
Yan Wuping walked out to the stone corridor and found that the last three rooms that Chu Dayun said were far apart, and the structure was different from those stone rooms on the left.
Walking to the door of the fourth stone room, Yan Wuping pushed the door, but the door did not bounce open like the other stone rooms, he increased his strength, and the stone door still did not respond. Puzzled, he went to look at the fifth and sixth stone chambers, all of which could not be opened with a push.
Chu Dayun only told him that these three stone chambers had the secret of apostasy, but he didn't have time to say how to open this stone door.
He had to carefully observe these stone doors by himself, and only then did he find that there was a very shallow palm print on the door frame of the three stone chambers, which was really difficult to find if he didn't look carefully.
Yan Wuping tried to match the palm print with his palm, and slightly pressed left and right, but the stone door still didn't open, and it was still the same after repeated attempts.
He looked at the palm print helplessly, compared his own palm, looked at the stone gate, and suddenly remembered that only the sect leader who left the sect knew about this secret stone room, the purple thunder palm was the stunt of the sect masters of the past dynasties, and the purple thunder palm could not be learned if it was not the master, and Chu Dayun also passed the purple thunder palm to him temporarily. Could it be that the palm print on this stone door needs to use a purple thunder palm to touch the switch of the stone door?
Thinking of this, Yan Wuping took a few steps back, took a breath of true qi, luckily reached the palm of his left hand, and shot a purple thunder fist at the palm, he didn't dare to use his strength, for fear of breaking the stone gate, and only used twenty percent of his strength.
"Smack!" The sound of the purple thunder palm emitted by the two successful forces was not loud, and he saw a purple-red, palm-shaped smoke ball slowly drifting out of his left palm, slowly drifting to the palm print, and then heard "Long, Long!" The stone door slowly rolled from top to bottom until it was level with the floor, and the door really opened. It seems that this stone door is installed with a different device from several other stone rooms, and the switch must be touched by the purple thunder palm of the unique martial arts sect of the sect, and then the hinges under the room will automatically tighten and open the door.
Yan Wuping walked into this stone room, which looked like a study.
A boxy stone table in the middle, the legs of the table are connected with the floor, it seems to have been chiseled together when digging the hanging wall to build a house, the table top is polished very flat and smooth, but in the center is a not too deep square hole, two inches long, more than an inch wide, I don't know what the purpose of this design is. There is also a Han jade chair behind the table, which is beautifully carved. Yan Wuping walked over and sat down, only to feel that the stone chair was cold, and there was nothing different.
He sat on this stone chair, looked around, several bookcases were carved out of the walls on three sides, and from a distance, the bookcase shelves seemed to be full of rows of books, Yan Wuping stood up, walked over and raised his hand to take out a book, but found that the book was actually carved in stone, connected to the bookshelf. I couldn't help but feel funny, I don't know how the person who built the stone room had such a mind to carve so many stone books for decoration. Looking closely at those stone books, they are all carved vividly, and even the title of the book is engraved, which is almost fake.
Yan Wuping searched around, but didn't find anything that could be moved, it seemed that this stone room was just an ordinary study, so he walked out of the stone room, and when he walked outside the stone room, "Long, Long!" There was another dull hinge sound, and the door slowly moved up and closed automatically from the floor.
Walking to the fifth stone room, Yan Wuping still used twenty percent of his strength to tap the palm print on the side of the door with a purple thunder palm, but this time he failed to open the door. Yan Wuping was stunned again, could it be that the way this door was opened was different from before? Could it be that the hinges were in disrepair for a long time? No matter how lucky he was, he hit it out with four successful forces, but the door still didn't respond.
Yan Wuping breathed his true breath again, and when he reached the sixth success force, a purple thunder palm "Bang!" There was a loud bang, and the smoke ball hit the palm print, and the door slowly opened.
Yan Wuping thought to himself: Of these three stone rooms, the first one needs to be opened with two successful forces, and the second one needs six successful forces to open, is it possible that the third room requires nine or ten layers of power to enter?
His current Purple Thunder Palm has only reached the sixth layer, if this is really the case, then the last stone room is afraid that he will not be able to open it, the Purple Thunder Palm was temporarily taught to Yan Wuping by Chu Dayun, and he also knew all his sixty years of true qi into Yan Wuping's body, Yan Wuping After getting Chu Dayun's true qi, the Purple Thunder Palm was directly the third layer, and after a period of cultivation, it reached the sixth layer. But he didn't know how many layers the purple thunder palm was, and this Chu Dayun didn't tell him clearly.
Moreover, the power of each layer of the Purple Thunder Palm seems to be different from the smoke palm, and in the third layer stage, the palm smoke is white, and the sound of air waves is relatively small. But on the sixth floor, the palm smoke turns purple-red, and the sound of air waves is as loud as thunder. Yan Wuping was even very worried that the higher the number of layers at the end, the louder the sound, which would be inconvenient to use.
Therefore, after he struck out with one palm, Mu Caidie and Zhu Xiaodan could hear it clearly in the stone room on the left, and the two of them were startled, and hurriedly ran out to the stone corridor to see what was going on: "Brother Yan, what are you doing, so loud!"
Yan Wuping hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just idle practicing martial arts, you guys go and rest!"
After the two of them entered the room, he entered the fifth stone room, which was so airtight that there was not even a window left, and stone shelves were carved out of the stone walls on both sides, one on each side, and each floor had three compartments, and there were items on each compartment.
Yan Wuping walked to the stone frame on the left, and there were two small black stone bottles in the first grid, and the mouth of the bottle seemed to be engraved with words. He picked it up and took a look, a bottle mouth was engraved with "Qinghong Dan", Yan Wuping opened the cap, and a faint smell of grass wafted from it, and it was refreshing.
The lid of another bottle was engraved with the words "Absolute Spirit", but when it was opened, it was a fishy smell, and the smell made my stomach turn nauseous.
