Chapter 161: The Wayfinder

In the center of the courtyard, two white-haired old men looked at the scene in front of them in a daze, looking at the stone statue that had long been swallowed by the black hole.

Leaving only a black hole, looking into the black hole from the outside, you can only see endless pitch black, as deep as the starry sky of the universe, I don't know where it leads!

Just standing on the sidelines and watching makes people feel a sense of horror, the endless abyss seems to be able to devour people's hearts and souls, and they are about to be sucked into a black hole!

The two old men were stunned and looked at the black hole silently for a long time, until it was late, and all the disciples returned to their respective courtyards to wash and rest.

The two old men looked at the night, the moonlight shone slightly above the black hole, emitting a strange blue light!

Other than that, there are no other anomalies.

The earthquake shaking of the entire Longhu Mountain also stopped at the bottom of the stone statue earlier.

Tourists who used to stop at the summit observation deck also took this opportunity to descend the mountain one after another to evacuate the place, and of course, there were also people who took the opportunity to observe.

Still staying at the top of the mountain, I want to see what it is and why, and capture some material to go down the mountain to direct.

However, before it was dark and sunset, Master Guan Yi also sent his disciples to dissuade him from going down the mountain, and posted a notice at the bottom of the mountain, indicating the danger of mountaineering!

Combined with the order maintenance personnel at the bottom of the mountain, the entrance to the mountain was closed.

Completely emptied the entire Longhu Mountain of all the tourists residing.

As for the Heavenly Master's Mansion, from beginning to end, the mountain gate was closed.

Because Master Guan Tian knew very well that if a black hole appeared out of thin air in the center of the courtyard, if it was reported to the world, it was destined to cause a great sensation.

When the time comes, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

That night, the two old men observed the black hole for half a day, and after confirming that there was no abnormal movement, they left the courtyard, surrounded the black hole with wooden planks, and sent elders to guard it during the day.

After arranging everything, the two old men came to the Scripture Pavilion in the Heavenly Master's Mansion one after another to consult the books left by the masters of the previous dynasties.

Hopefully and here's more secrets about what's being suppressed beneath the stone statues.

The inner layer of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion has always been only open to the master, and you must hold the seal of the head to enter, and the pavilion slave stationed in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion today, seeing that the former head and the current head came here at the same time, he stared, and his heart was horrified as if he knew something, and there was no obstruction.

Entering the inner floor of the Scripture Pavilion, a room of old bookshelves is filled with all kinds of books.

There are bamboo slips, woven cloth, and finally paper scrolls, and you can see at a glance that these ancient books have a certain number of years.

Fortunately, the cabinet slaves in the Scripture Pavilion are often cleaned and maintained, and they are not covered with dust.

In the inner layer of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, there is also a secret passage, and it is this secret passage that is the place where you need to verify the seal of the head to enter, and only the previous head has the key.

Even the pavilion slaves in the Scripture Pavilion have no right to enter the secret passages in the inner layer only in the attic for the rest of their lives.

When I came to the secret passage, the stone walls were sealed all around, except for a dilapidated wooden table and an oil lamp.

On a wooden table is a quaint wooden box.

Relying on his previous memories, Master Guan Tian opened the lock on the wooden box.

In the wooden box, a paper book that had long been dilapidated and yellowed was picked out.

"It's it!"

"The previous head warned that if the stone statue moved, you could consult this book, but other than that, you must not turn it over!!"

Obviously, the time the master saw the book, he was also a little shocked in his heart.

This is the admonition left by his previous head, that is, the head of the current head, separated by two generations!

The purple-robed old man followed the Guantian Master in surprise, he didn't know everything here so far, and now it was the first time that the Guantian Master led him into the pavilion.

I didn't know anything about the books in the wooden box.

In fact, Master Guan Tian is preparing to pick some time to get rid of everything he knows, inform the current leader, and retire to retreat.

But now he didn't wait for him to prepare, but the stone statue moved first.

The incident happened suddenly, and he had no choice but to lead him into the cabinet to check this book that he had never even checked.

When you open the book, you will see a line of ancient words.

The old man in the purple robe looked a little struggling at this, but it was okay to watch the master for a day, and he could read the general meaning!

When he turned to the first page, the old man in the blue robe not only gasped!

He was shocked!

"This is left by the head of the Heavenly Master's Mansion!"

"More than 700 years!"

Hearing this, the purple-robed old man was also shocked in place, it can be seen that as early as when the head of the mountain founded the Heavenly Master's Mansion, he had already expected such a day!

So the books were left.

Then the blue-robed old man looked at the master for a day, and then looked down at the books, and he had a rough guess in his heart!

The content of the book is that each head will leave a handwriting on it, mainly indicating a contact method, which is constantly changing!

The general meaning of what is written in the book is that once the stone statue changes, it will be contacted through some kind of contact method, but the book does not specify who will be contacted in the end.

Moreover, only the first four heads are recorded in the book, and this is the end, and the latter heads do not leave any more handwriting and explanations in the book.

"Who exactly?"

"After four heads, you are the fifth!"

"After all this time, is the contract mentioned in the book, and the contact information still valid?"

"Is the last way of contact, in today's ever-changing modern age, still reachable?"

Guan Tianshi looked at the books in his hand, and sighed again and again, and there were many questions in his heart, and there was no way to answer them!

"Master, the black hole is in the world, I don't think it is for us to make decisions, it is better to follow the contact information recorded by the last head of the book, get in touch with the affection, and discuss how to deal with it together!"

The purple-robed old man stroked his beard and pondered.

In this regard, the contemplative master thought the same thing as him, but he had this thought.

The Heavenly Master's Mansion was passed down to his generation, and there were all kinds of changes and faults in the middle.

And the head of the previous love is also in the changing times, going down the mountain and retiring.

Now, it is also worth following the contact methods recorded in the book, summoning those who are in the know, or the masters of the Tibetan world, to gather in the Heavenly Master's Mansion to discuss together.

The book does not mention who is specifically linked.

The contact information has not been updated after four heads, and I don't know if it can be useful.

Now we can only hope that it will be useful and connected!

The next morning.

Master Guan Tian came to the martial arts arena and selected a capable person from among the disciples according to the requirements recorded in the classical books!

The so-called capable person has extraordinary luck!

The nine characters of the birthday are auspicious, and you need to join the teaching!

Out of thousands of people, three of them were finally selected!

Divide it into three ways!

The three of them had no one in their hands to distribute a piece of blue jade pendant!

The jade pendant is very quaint and old, stored in a wooden box, and can only be taken out today.

The jade pendant is in the shape of a half-bamboo moon curve, and there are nine tiny holes in the center!

The opening corresponds to the layout of the seven stars in the sky!

In the middle of each month, the seven stars in the star dome will be particularly bright, at that time, holding the jade pendant, the hole is aligned with the layout of the seven stars, and finally the ninth hole is to indicate the direction of the path!

However, due to the fact that the goal is too broad, it is composed of three jade pendants!

The other two jade pendants are also nine-hole, seven-star layout!

However, the three jade pendants at the ninth hole have all been shifted, and the place pointing is a triangular top!

The three Taoist disciples who echoed the conditions, holding the jade plaque, followed the guidance of the seven stars in the night light, starting from the three directions guided by the eighth and ninth holes of the jade pendant, and finally the place where the three of them gathered together was the end of the purpose of the trip!

Guan Tianshi took the three of them to the cabinet of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, placed a precept seal on them, and reread the Taoist code to them.

And clarified the importance of the trip, and the degree of urgency.

After receiving the order, the three of them made an oath in front of the statue of the Heavenly Master, and carried the jade pendant down Longhu Mountain in the afternoon of the same day.

At the foot of the mountain, according to the seven holes of the three jade pendants aimed at the seven stars in the sky, thus pointing out the direction of the ninth hole, the three of them divided into three paths, and embarked on the road to contact the unknown.

From the top of the mountain, Master Guan Tian watched the backs of the three descending mountains from afar, and until they disappeared at the end of the stone steps, he was still a little relieved.

My heart was full of worries.

The Seven Stars Guide the Way, which is also recorded in classical books, was widely used in ancient night marches.

The three armies hold three dominoes, and the hole is engraved with the trajectory of the seven stars, and the seven stars in the sky will not move, as long as the three armies are aligned with the seven holes, and finally follow the path carved by the eighth hole, and finally the ninth hole is the place where the three armies meet!

This method of guidance must be precisely measured and have extremely high requirements for the accuracy of the printability on the eighth vacancy!

The slightest deviation will be a thousand miles away!

Therefore, at the eighth hole, there will be a post station, or a mark, and the pathfinder will need to find the marked point indicated by the eighth hole, and then he can continue to walk from the eighth hole to the ninth hole.

The post station at the eighth hole, which can also be called a transfer station, is used to suppress possible deviation problems along the way, correct it by marking points, and then set off to meet at the ninth hole.

Master Guan Tian secretly sighed that the ancients did not have modern technology at that time, but they still had extraordinary wisdom and pointed out the direction in an incredible way.

It's a pity that in the hundreds of years of changes, too many inheritances have been lost, and in his generation, they have gradually faded out of the eyes of the world.

And after a hundred years, does the post station exist? It is not yet known.

Great Xia Kingdom, Security Bureau, Conference Room.

A group of high-ranking officials of the Great Xia Kingdom gathered, and each of them had more than three gold stars on their shoulders!

There were more than 20 people, led by Song Xiangdong.

At this moment, everyone was looking at the same thing at the moment, looking at the picture playing on the big screen.

In the picture, there is a video of Longhu Mountain shaking taken by tourists!

As soon as the picture turned, I came to the picture of the collapse of the statue in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, followed by the picture of frightened birds, animals scurrying, tourists roaring in horror, etc.

"Director, this time the movement on the top of the Heavenly Master's Mansion has subsided!"

"However, the suspicion of the outside world about the Heavenly Master's Mansion is getting higher and higher, and the most discussed thing is whether there are Taoist immortals in the Heavenly Master's Mansion!"

"Whether the Longhu Mountain earthquake is related to miracles and other hot topics, so far there has been no reply in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, which has also aroused widespread curiosity among netizens!"

"Director, do you think we're going to get involved?"

An assistant at the table took the lead in throwing out the problem points of the meeting.

Various types of experts and high-level leaders took the lead in the discussion.

"We should first send geological experts to Longhu Mountain to conduct a seismic survey!"

"First, to ensure that Longhu Mountain will not be shaken again, and second, it is necessary to let the disciples of the Heavenly Master's Mansion withdraw, and the head of the sect will go out to clarify this incident, so as not to cause greater misunderstandings!"

One of the top executives with three shoulders gave his opinion, which caused most people to nod their heads in agreement.

Judging from the current situation, there is indeed only a professional test report, giving an explanation to the network name, telling them that there are no gods in the world, just simple geological activities!

However, some experts who know the details did not speak.

Because some experts had seen Lin Beichen before, they felt that there might really be strange people in the world, and this kind of legend had been circulating in the Heavenly Master's Mansion on Dragon and Tiger Mountain, so they were skeptical and did not express their position.

"Just keep observing, don't pay attention, don't deliberately control public opinion."

Song Xiangdong responded, and then continued: "The four stars on the shoulders are left, and the rest can go!" ”

The person who asked the question at the beginning was a little stunned, and he originally thought that he should focus on the matters that should be focused on, but when he arrived at Song Xiangdong, the discussion ended in a few words.

The latter also saw that he was a little puzzled, which was very different from the usual way of dealing with it.

If it were the past, such things would have been silently erased before they first happened!

For example, Lin Beichen's disappearance in Jingli Mountain, Shenzhao Kingdom, caused widespread attention for a short time, and there was a public opinion on the Internet discussing whether he was the back of the immortal cultivator.

The Security Bureau quickly intervened, quietly calmed down the public opinion, and gave a reasonable explanation.

However, seeing that Song Xiangdong didn't care too much, the high-level officials were not easy to ask, so they left the conference room.

Today, there are only three people left in the conference room.

Originally, there were seven people who were also four-star, but Song Xiangdong still let them leave the conference room, and only three were left by name.

Each of the three was in his seventies, and one of the older was eighty-one.

Gray-haired, the years have left traces of vicissitudes on them.

The three of them walked slowly and sat down near the conference table.

None of the three of them had spoken or made any statement in the meeting just now, but their faces were more solemn than anyone else's.

"Is this day going to come after all?"

"Not necessarily, maybe it's really geological activity!"

The two elders looked at the picture in the video, and their tones were extremely solemn and meaningful.

The eldest old man's voice was a little hoarse, but his words shocked the three people in the room, including Song Xiangdong!

"If it's really a stone statue."

"Then presumably the contact disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion has already descended the mountain at this moment!"

His words instantly ignited the doubts in Song Xiangdong's heart.

"Teacher, who are you contacting?"

The eldest man slowly shook his head in the face of Song Xiangdong's question, and his tone of voice was a little heavy.

"It depends on the contact method left by the previous masters, where the disciples who will eventually contact go, and their end point is the goal of this contact!"

"Before they reach the finish line, no one knows who and where they are contacted!"
