Chapter Eighty-Three: Exploring the Smoke Cloud Cave
On the mountain road.
A group of people, under the guidance of the monk who led the way, walked towards the top of Tianlong Mountain.
The so-called smoke cloud cave, that is, the meaning of the smoke cloud surrounding, is located at the peak of Tianlong Mountain, in the back mountain of Tianlong Temple.
Walking and walking, there is gradually no road between the mountains and forests, and you can only walk between the mountains and rocks and trees, which is a bit rugged and not easy to walk.
Fortunately, except for Wang Yuyan, everyone is a martial arts practitioner, and they are not slow.
"Do you want me to carry you?"
Xiao Jun looked at Wang Yuyan, who was already slightly tired, and asked with a smile.
"No need. ”
Wang Yuyan looked at the remaining people, shook her head and said.
"Why? Shy?"
Xiao Jun couldn't help laughing.
"No, I can still walk. ”
Wang Yuyan said stubbornly.
Xiao Jun shook his head with a smile, and suddenly grabbed Wang Yuyan, squatted down, and carried Wang Yuyan on his back.
"What are you doing? No, I can still go. ”
Wang Yuyan was startled, looking at the few people in front of her, her eyes flickered, and she struggled to go down, but her body had been hugged by Xiao Jun, and she couldn't break free at all.
Originally, the people in front didn't notice it, but her struggle with a hard mouth attracted the attention of the people in front of her, and they all looked back.
Wang Yuyan found that several people had all looked over, lowered her head in a panic, and lay on Xiao Jun's shoulder, not daring to make any more noise.
Xiao Jun squeezed out a smile, looked at the few people who turned around, and did not say anything.
Although he kept laughing, he wasn't joking, he had already seen that Wang Yuyan, who had a hard mouth, couldn't walk anymore.
After a short interlude, the group continued to walk towards the top of the mountain, but fortunately, the distance was getting closer and closer, and there was not much left to do.
......
After a long time, everyone finally reached the peak, and then they saw a cave on the side of the cliff, and the word 'smoke cloud' was engraved on the top of the cave.
But it looks like no one has been here for a long time, and weeds more than half a person tall are everywhere, blocking half of the hole.
"How long has it been since anyone has been here?"
Xiao Jun narrowed his eyes and asked lightly.
"It's been a long time, it seems that no one has been here since Master Tianlong left, and the abbot has never let anyone come here, this place is a forbidden place. ”
The monk who led the way said slowly, and after speaking, he clasped his hands together, chanted something silently, and bowed to the Yanyun Cave, looking respectful.
Xiao Jun nodded, did not speak again, and suddenly felt someone pat him on the shoulder, only to find that Wang Yuyan was still on his back. So he smiled and slowly put Wang Yuyan down.
"Let's go, go inside. ”
Xiao Jun said, leading Wang Yuyan through the weeds again and walking towards the cave.
Others followed.
It was not very dark in the cave, because there were several vents in the cave wall scattered all over the place, and bright light shone through the mouths, so that you could not reach out and lose sight of your fingers.
The cave was very simple, except for a couch and a futon, and then a shelf full of wooden scriptures, which were already covered with dust, and if it were not for the wooden, I am afraid that they would have rotted and scattered with the wind.
Other than that, there is nothing else.
Seeing this simple cave, Xiao Jun couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Originally, he wanted to find something out of this place, but at first glance, it seemed that it was really just a place to retreat and study the Dharma, and there was nothing special about it, and it didn't look like a place where some earth-shattering secrets were hidden.
The monk who led the way just stood at the door and didn't follow up, probably in awe of the deceased Celestial Dragon Master.
Others, led by Xiao Jun, began to look for suspicious clues in the cave.
Including scriptures, under the couch, cave walls, etc., all the hidden corners that may exist, the four of them did not let go, and carefully investigated them one by one.
Unfortunately, after a long time, the four of them still found nothing, and the only trace is that there was once a monk who studied Buddhism living here, and nothing else.
"Second brother, it seems that we are going to come for nothing, we have searched all over the place, and there is nothing here. ”
Duan Yu slowly walked up to Xiao Jun, spread his hands and said, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
"No, I always feel like there's something here that we haven't discovered, but I don't know what it is, and it's a strong feeling!"
Xiao Jun shook his head and carefully scanned all the things he had checked just now.
"But we've already done everything here, and we're three feet away from digging into the ground. ”
Duan Yu said with a wry smile.
Hearing Duan Yu's words, Xiao Jun suddenly froze in place, turned around suddenly, and looked at the wooden frame full of scriptures.
"Master, how long did you say that no one has been here?"
Xiao Jun suddenly asked loudly, a hint of an intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's been about forty years. ”
The monk standing at the door thought for a moment and said slowly.
"That's not right!"
Xiao Jun listened to the monk's words, shook his head and said.
"What's wrong?"
Duan Yu asked with a frown, not knowing what Xiao Jun had in mind.
"Someone has been here, and not for forty years!"
Xiao Jun pointed to the wooden shelf full of scriptures and said with a smile.
"What do you mean?"
When the monk standing at the door heard Xiao Jun's words, he couldn't help but walk into the cave, came to Xiao Jun's side, and asked suspiciously.
"That shelf wasn't supposed to be there!"
Xiao Jun pointed to the wooden frame and said affirmatively.
After listening to Xiao Jun's words, several people walked to the wooden frame curiously, looking back and forth, but they didn't see anything.
"Second brother, what the hell is going on, don't sell it, let's talk about it. ”
Duan Yu stood beside the wooden frame, looked at Xiao Jun eagerly and said.
"The rest of the cave doesn't have that much dust, but why is there so much dust on the shelves? It means that there shouldn't be a bookshelf there at all, because the vents in the cave wall are almost all facing that direction, so that's why so much dust is blown in. ”
"But how could a monk who loves to study the scriptures so much, put his scriptures in the most inappropriate position in the cave?!"
Xiao Jun analyzed it 1510 and said what he found.
"That's right, there's obviously not that much dust here!"
Duan Kun pointed to a corner beside him and said in a deep voice.
"So the bookshelf was moved after Master Draco left?!"
Duan Yu also suddenly understood something.
"That's right, why would someone move a useless shelf?"
Xiao Jun looked at everyone and asked slowly, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.
"Because there was something hidden in the original place of the wooden shelves, you had to remove the bookshelves to find them!"
Wang Yuyan, who had not spoken, looked at Xiao Jun and said slowly.
"Clever!"
Xiao Jun turned his head to look at Wang Yuyan and stretched out his thumb.
"Where the hell is that wooden frame, and we haven't found anything hidden?"
Duan Yu frowned and asked puzzled.
"How do you place wooden shelves?"
Xiao Jun looked at Duan Yu and continued to ask.
"Of course it's against the wall..."
Duan Yu said without thinking, and as soon as he was halfway through his words, he was stunned in place.
Everything is already self-evident.
