We immediately packed our bags and continued on our way. Through thorns, through dense forests, branches and leaves are intertwined, thousands of towering giant trees divide the heavens and the earth into thousands of paths and thousands of emptiness. The birds are strange, and the animals are strange.

In the middle of the original forest, there is a mountain road that has obvious traces of artificial excavation, and the terrain is gentle, and it is likely to be a transportation artery.

"This should be a secret passage for the ancient Tibetan sect to transport from the bottom of the mountain."

At noon, we walked to the northern edge of the basin, with majestic mountains in front of us, and the peaks of the mountains towered into a sea of clouds. Take a closer look, the trend of this mountain range, just like the Dapeng spreading its wings, the middle is high and uplifting, like the Dapeng raising its head, and the pinnacle is like a beak, piercing the sky. The mountains on both sides stretch endlessly, like two wings spreading, majestic and intimidating.

On the opposite side of the hill, a building suddenly appeared.

"Look, the Lama Temple is there!"

"Damn, I'm tired of the fat man, and I've finally found it."

There is a huge rock cave on the rock wall, look closely, there is a stone tablet with a height of more than a foot next to the entrance of the cave, and the book "Shengwang Cave" is written on it.

"I didn't expect that the legendary Dapeng Golden Wing Mountain Saint King Cave is here!" Ella sighed.

"This isn't the Holy King's Cave, it's the Demon Cave!" I suddenly recalled the terrible encounter in Mawanggou, "This Shengwang Cave is a forbidden place of ancient Tibetan Buddhism, and the people of Mawanggou regard this place as the realm of the Holy King, and they dare not set foot here easily. ”

The cave is dark and bottomless, and the cave can accommodate two people walking side by side, and the rock wall is smooth, and there are traces of artificial grinding and chiseling. The giant cave resembles a karst cave landform, with icy water eroding through the cracks in the limestone layers, and the cave is filled with various strange dripstone deposits.

"Big guy, be careful." I kept reminding, "The ground here is a little wet, and if you're not careful, you can fall." ”

Our flashlight beams are reflected in the smooth and damp cave walls, the strange light of the otherworld, the slippery and watery tunnels, the undercurrents of the mountains dripping through the cracks of the gorges, and the echoes of the water droplets in the deep and bottomless tunnels are ghostly and icy.

Walking forward more than 100 steps, looking back at the entrance of the cave, the narrow tunnel of the dark tide twists and turns; About two miles away, the cave court suddenly opens up, the cave dome is 100 zhang high, the cave hall is wide and deep, the dark path of the cave is staggered, and the dark river is gloomy.

"When I came here before, I never saw anything so gloomy."

A closer look at the cave hall reveals that this place is not only wide and deep, but also has extremely complex terrain. The cliffs, tunnels and crypts of the main cave hall can be seen everywhere, and the scale and complexity even exceed the karst cave system in Guizhou.

"A little further on, it should be the Dark River."

"Seems like so." I have the impression that the dark river once blocked our way, and Cheng Yiyun and I still swam through the icy water.

"We're so crowded now that we don't have to go into the water at all." Huo Xinlan commanded Ruoding.

The dark river rushes and rushes on the side of the west cliff of the cave hall, forming a large underground waterfall, the torrent impact has formed a vertical hole in the deep crypt that is not as light as the bottom for 10,000 years, the sound of the Yin River waterfall roaring through the wind runs through the echo of each hole, looking down on the deep cave is like being at the entrance of hell and never recovering, which makes people feel cold.

"After this dark river, we don't know the next road." I turned to Huo Xinlan and said, "Last time, you followed us all the way here, and no one knows how to go from here. ”

Looking at the thousands of deep cracks in the fault cliff wall, the entire giant cave is a dark underground nest. There are river holes and lake holes on the north and south sides of the cave hall, in the gap on the top of the cliff, a little sunlight penetrates, and the water vapor and wet fog refraction and forms a different light hole, the lake cave Yin River white fog shrouds a little bit of ghostly light, like the dark eyes of thousands of forests staring coldly at the living people.

Huo Xinlan looked around and said, "Didn't you touch Young Marshal Jin, then you can judge where we should go." ”

"There are so many holes here, and there are twists and turns in them, who knows where to go?" I waved my hand, "Back then, there was a kung fu in the old nine sects that could distinguish the position of the iron bullet, but it has long been lost, and even my wife who touched the golden captain can't, you teach me how to distinguish." ”

Although Cheng Yiyun is a descendant of Faqiumen, he has never learned this craft, and the lineage of the unique vein is all in the gold touch, and the gold touch has long been scattered and withered.

But at the moment, there is only Cheng Yiyun who can be counted on.

So, Cheng Yiyun used a trick, only to see her put down her backpack and take out a few copper coins from it, these copper coins are all new and shiny, but they are not objects newly processed by modern technology, and they are all coins before the Ming Dynasty.

As she spoke, she threw the handful of coins in all directions, and the coins in her hand flew out, splashing on the ground with a "clanging bell", and then spun on the ground. I don't know if it was a coincidence, or if this is the case, all the coins were turned upright on the ground and kept for a long time.

Cheng Yiyun closed her eyes and listened.

In the eyes of outsiders, I can't knock out the clues at all, although I am not an expert, but I can see one or two. After the iron marble is hit, the place where it falls is not the same, and there are subtle differences in the air flow in different places, although ordinary people can't reach it, but in the ears of the Jin Captain and the general of Faqiu Zhonglang, it is far clearer.

The difference between the coins that Cheng Yiyun sprinkled was like an iron bullet touching Captain Jin, and the difference was that these coins rotated and rubbed against the flowing air, and these extremely subtle changes in convection became the basis for her to distinguish the direction.

The rest of us stood there stupidly, not raising our voices, for fear of disturbing her. It took about twenty minutes for Cheng Yiyun to open her eyes, in which she also scattered a few handfuls of coins one after another, and finally came to a conclusion.

"How?" I said eagerly.

"Yes."

"Great, then you can say it quickly." I was a little overjoyed.

"However, there are two exits here, and I can't be sure which one leads to the lair."

"You mean, out of the Holy King's Cave, there is still a way?"

"That's right, this is not their lair, their lair is outside this cavern." Cheng Yiyun affirmed.

"That's how it should be."

Huo Xinlan frowned, it was not that she didn't believe Cheng Yiyun's judgment, on the contrary, she recognized Faqiumen's methods very much, but the current dilemma made her a little angry.

"If you really can't do it, then choose one or the other." The fat man said impatiently on the side, "It's a big deal to turn it back again." ”

"Don't say it, it's not rough, it's simple and rude, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Besides, there's no other way right now."

Huo Xinlan glanced at my face a few times, did not speak, continued to be silent, and spoke for a while: "Then where do you say you are going?" ”

"Left!"

"Why?"

"Guess!"

Huo Xinlan was so angry that she didn't say anything, she was afraid that she had already scolded me to death, how could such an important thing be treated as a joke.

A group of us burrowed into the cave on the left like headless flies, and after many twists and turns, it suddenly became clear to us that there was a lake in front of us.

"Your sister, it's okay now." The fat man said in frustration, "It's a mistake!" ”

"In the Song Dynasty, Song Jiang and others took Shuibo Liangshan as the danger and the grass as the king, and repeatedly defeated the imperial army to encircle and suppress it.

My assumptions are just empty words, but the ancient Tibetan religion is dormant here, and naturally knows about it. What's more, there is a dock here and several boats are there.

"Get on board!"

The lake was not very large, and soon the boat was on the northern shore of the lake.

When we arrived on the north bank, we learned that the ancient Tibetan religion had built water conservancy facilities here, and the lake was an artificial reservoir, and on the north bank, there was originally a village, but because of the water storage, the village was forced to move to the mountain.

"What's wrong with this village?" Huo Xinlan asked.

"I asked Yiyun to go and see it, just like Mawanggou, the people in it are not normal."

"It seems that the ancient Tibetan religion has controlled them."

"The villagers here should be guarding this water source for them."

Herds of cattle and sheep on the hillside, and the occasional alert antelope jumps away, and the vegetation on the hillside gradually decreases, and there is no man's land further up.

"Since we're here, let's go in and have a look." Huo Xinlan said.

"Okay, if you want to go, I'll let you see enough." I sighed, "But I promise you won't want to see that again in your next life." ”

Enter the village.

At this moment, the peaceful and smiling clear sky suddenly became gloomy, and the clouds in the northern sky were surging like the black sea, instantly swallowing up the bright sunshine.

"How do you say that if you change the sky, you will change the sky?"

A strong wind blew between heaven and earth, and a torrential rain poured down.

The vast world and mountains show hideous faces, the clouds and seas surge, the sky is churning, the earth is raging, the ghosts are crying wolves, the mountains are blurred and twisted in the rain world, the grassland is waterlogged and difficult to walk, the feet are like being dragged by the ghost hands of the underground, and the deep quagmire is unable to bear the strength.

"Whew... "There was a wolf howling nearby.......

"What the hell, let's hurry into the village!"

We walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The water gushed in the mud and formed streams.

"Woo... How......" The sound of wolves howling in the distance made the pores cold and numb, and there seemed to be countless beasts staring at us with fierce eyes in the vast rain.

"Let's go in first." The fat man urged, "It doesn't matter who is in him!" ”

"Fatty, don't be impulsive."

Before I could say this, the fat man, like a fly without a head, broke into an old courtyard, the door of which was not closed, and the wood creaked in the wind.

"Anyone? Anyone?! The fat man shouted, "Is there anyone at all?" ”

"No one, then I'm in!"

In the wind and rain, the courtyard door shook and swayed, "crunch... Crunch... Crunch...... Syllable! The door slammed shut.

The courtyard is ruined and broken, overgrown with weeds, an old house in the main courtyard is black and does not see the light, the two wooden houses on the left and right are rotten and swaying, the wind and rain are in, the old house is crumbling, making a squeaking and cracking sound, at this time, the sky is almost completely dark.

"Anyone?"

Still no one responded.

I also tried to scream a few times, but I was relieved to see that no one answered.

"It seems that no one lives here, so let's take shelter from the rain first."

Just as we let down our vigilance, a bald and lame old woman came out of the dark room, walking staggeringly, limping, the old lady was on crutches, dressed in black cotton clothes and black pants.

"Who are you looking for......" The old woman's voice was deep and cold, and her mouth seemed to be leaking and had no teeth.

"Old man, the rain is too heavy, we are grateful if we can borrow your land to shelter from the rain." I said respectfully.
