On the north bank of the Yangtze River, at the mouth of the Three Gorges Cave, it was called Yiling in ancient times, and it was named because of "Yiling Tomb when the water arrives". In the thirteenth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed "Yichang", which means "suitable for prosperity".

Sanyou Cave is located in the northwest of Yichang for fourteen miles, on the cliff of the north peak of Xiling Mountain, backed by the mouth of Xiling Gorge, facing the lower prison stream. The terrain in the cave is precipitous, the shape is like a lotus canopy, the depth is about ten zhang, the width is seven zhang, and the height is nearly three zhang. The rock of the cave is folded and undulating, the fault is vertical and horizontal, there are three stalactite pillars that seem to be round and square, and the vertical parallel and horizontal columns are separated, and the cave is separated into two rooms before and after the communication. The front room is bright and open, and the walls are full of poems; The backroom is secluded, with pierced ears next to it, which can be accessed to the outside. The top of the back room is empty and round like a hanging bell, and it is thrown with a stone, its sound is like a bell, and the stone falls to the ground, and its sound is like a drum, so there is a saying of "the clock of heaven and the drum of the earth".

In front of the Sanyou Cave, there is a clear and clear Xiajiao Creek, where the water and stones hit each other, and the flying beads splash the jade. Climb the Zhixi Pavilion on the top of the mountain along the path next to the cave, and you can see the majestic posture of the river in the west; In that peaks and peaks, the Yangtze River is like a sharp axe, open up a line of passages, go straight to the mouth of Xiling Gorge, the torrent roars, breaks out of the door, flows through the side of the Sanyou Cave, then the water potential turns flat, the river surface suddenly opens, presents the wonder of alternating dangers.

The cave door rolled up into milk, and the cold stream under the mountain was cold.

The weather is cold and I beg to go, but I can't live there.

The freezing rain is half into frost, and the visitors are cold and mossy and slippery.

Sleep at the bottom of the rock, and there is no moon at night at the entrance of the cave.

These witty words are the predecessors to describe the beautiful and magnificent posture of the Sanyou Cave, this cave has been called "fantasy" since ancient times, so the people and inkmen of the past generations who have traveled here are endless. And in the formal, li, line, grass fonts and poems, scattered, murals, inscriptions and other forms of writing the scene, carved on the stone wall.

It was the middle of winter, in the afternoon of this day, the sunset was halfway up, the red glow was reflected, lined with the withered yellow trees of Xiling Mountain, the rhyme of Xiao Xiao Rosser, wandering around. Although there is no heavy snow at this moment, I can also see floating water and ice on the river. It is rare for someone to go out, and they all light a fire at home to keep warm, in order to take advantage of the cold winter. Occasionally, a small boat rowed across the river, and it was also tightly covered. For fear of the cold wind, it crept in through the cracks. It is really different from the scene of crossing the river and crossing the river in the past, and the scene of people is really different.

On weekdays, there are many singing and singing caves. It also ushered in the rare tranquility and tranquility of the year, and in the cold wind outside, it was extraordinarily quiet and good.

A burst of laughter echoed through the mountains and forests. Breaking the original serenity. Following the sound, three figures can be seen, slowly stepping on the steep path. Follow the bar. Look. Its destination is Sanyu-dong. I think God doesn't want this place to be so lonely to survive the winter, or he doesn't want to give it this quiet.

These three uninvited guests. It's one young and two young, and it looks like the young master of a rich family is going out with his two younger brothers. But then I thought about it, in this cold winter season, Xiling Mountain is almost inaccessible, and where did these three tourists come out, not to mention that there are two children who have never been adults, one looks like he is eleven or twelve years old, and the other is only seven or eight years old.

In particular, there is the strange thing about the fact that all three men, regardless of their age, are dressed in extremely thin clothes. The boy wore a long shirt that should have been worn in spring, and the two boys were even more remarkable, both dressed in bizarre short clothes with bare arms and knees, strolling barefoot. In the middle of winter, don't say that you wear such fancy clothes, ordinary people are just a little thin, and under the ice and snow, within a few pairs, I am afraid that they will be frozen to blood and cold, and they will die.

Such a situation has to make people feel weird, it is not the mountain spirits and ghosts who travel, so there will be such a strange appearance.

The three of them talked and laughed all the way, although the momentum was slow, but in a moment, they had reached the front of the Sanyou Cave. And I saw that the innumerable stele was either carved on the stone wall around the cave, or another stone slab was carved and stood beside the cave.

The boy couldn't help but stop and admire.

"The ancient cave is strange, and the beauty of the tour is beautiful. The cliff is also green grass, and the dew is cold to the flowers. The valley rings the bell and hides, and the clear stream winds around the stream. The dust is desperate, and the way back is full of smoke. ”

Looking at it, the young man couldn't help but read it silently, his voice was low and tactful, faint, almost inaudible, but the two people next to him were also extraordinary, so they naturally heard it clearly.

The youngest, the green-clothed boy who was only seven or eight years old, suddenly said with a smile: "This person is a good person, I can't wait to see what is so wonderful about these three tour caves." Between the words, the tone is quite mature and sophisticated, and it can't help but form a strong contrast with its immature appearance.

When the young man heard this, he turned around and teased: "I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed today, the scene here is probably not the midwinter season, and it can be revealed." Haha...", he laughed.

The boy in green also seemed to wake up to this reason, "Hehe..." smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, and didn't care.

Seeing that the two of them discussed the poems and songs made by the ordinary people outside the cave, and seemed to be quite interested, the remaining boy who was dressed in red and had a red complexion couldn't help frowning slightly, although there was no displeasure revealed, but there was a trace of impatience.

The green-clothed boy had already paid attention to the expressions of the other two, and naturally did not miss the slightest movement of Hongxiao at this moment, and the surface was still silent. laughed twice, and busily changed the topic, "Shenjun, it's not too early at this moment, it's better to finish the business first, and then continue the tour, otherwise if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that Shang Tianwang will have to blame us for not doing things well." At the end, he nodded and smiled at Hongxiao.

Hong Xiao, who is known as Shang Tianwang, is the Five Ghost Heavenly King Shang Heyang, and when he saw this ridicule, he was not angry, "Where." Where, the ancestor said and laughed. With the two of you here, this matter is decided, and there is no hurry to meet for a while. Listening to his words, he could know that the other two, the young man was the Blood God Monarch, and the Tong was the green-robed ancestor.

After the Blood God Monarch heard the words of the green-robed ancestor, he already understood that at this time, listening to Shang Heyang's words, although they were humble, they were actually urging, it was naturally inconvenient to look at the inscriptions around them. "Shang Tianwang has praised it, let's go in." Before he finished speaking, he had already taken the lead in entering the Sanyou Cave first.

Although the Sanyou Cave at this time is not very dark and dark, after all, it is winter, and the light is not strong, and now it is twilight, and the sun is shining on the head, and there is much less. However, the three of the Blood God Monarch are also extraordinary, and the void room is bright, although it is a realm of successful qi cultivation, but among all the people who cultivate, who is not a successful person in qi training, the three of them are naturally no exception.

After passing through the outer cave to the inner stone chamber, the three of them did not look much and walked towards a stone wall at the end of the cave. In the eyes of ordinary people, at the end of the inner room, there is an extremely ordinary stone wall, on which there are even many poems carved on it. However, in the eyes of the three of the Blood God Monarch, it is not like this, where the stone wall is, the golden glow is layered, and the brilliance is bursting, and it is faintly visible behind the golden glow, there seems to be a stone room.

The three of them glanced at each other, and it seemed that they had found the right place. It's just that I can't help but feel a little strange, it stands to reason that the three of them are so obvious, with the mana of the chivalrous monk Yifan, they won't be unaware, but why they haven't come out to meet the enemy, it's not in the hole. As soon as he thought of this, Shang Heyang couldn't bear it at first, after all, this matter was ultimately the most relevant to his own interests.

Stretching out his hand, a five-old hammer made of five skeletons gathered together came out of nowhere and shook it in his hand. With a shake in the wind, the five evil ghosts on the hammer immediately flew up, carrying a large cloud of demonic fire and black smoke, and flew towards the stone wall golden glow. Billowing smoke and light surrounded five hideous demon heads as large as wheels, each spewing a miserable green smoke.

In an instant, I saw the five streams of green smoke in a radius, surging towards the layers of golden glow in bursts of black light and demonic fire. The two compartments touched, and for a while, only the sound of "squeaking" was heard, like the sound of ice and fire steaming. After the five demons released green smoke, they immediately tore it up, "Ga... Chirping... The sharp and piercing voice, one by one, forced into the heart, like the strange sound of glass rubbing, a feeling of extreme acidity, a feeling of feathers brushing in the heart, unable to scratch, people can't help but go crazy. The originally brilliant golden glow had gradually dimmed at this moment under the bite of the five evil ghosts.

It was the first time for the green-robed ancestor to see Shang Heyang use the Five Ghost Heart Lock Hammer, and he couldn't help but admire: "The power of Shang Tianwang's treasure hammer is really extraordinary, even this Buddhism's little Sumeru law ban is difficult to stop. ”

When Shang Heyang heard this, although his heart was complacent, he still replied quite humbly: "The ancestor praised it falsely, praised it falsely, haha..." It's not that he is not in the cave, or he sees that the three of us are not his match, and when he sees that the situation is not good, he escapes first. Haha..."Although he smiled, he couldn't help but wrinkle slightly between his eyebrows.

This is also the confusion of the Green-robed Ancestor and the Blood God Monarch.

Could it be that the chivalrous monk Yifan is really not in the cave, in fact, this idea was already halfway up the mountain, and the green-robed ancestor had this not very good premonition. You must know that the righteous people have always regarded the evil demons and foreign ways as mortal enemies, and it is impossible to be harmonious when they encounter them in ordinary times, not to mention that at this time, when they are presumptuous at the door of his house, there is no reason not to show up.

Even if you don't fight the enemy, at least you will ask for the reason, even if you really have self-knowledge, know that you are invincible, and if you secretly escape, you may escape the induction of the three people.
