Chapter 42: The Secret Cave of Wudang
Hearing what Xuchen Zhenren said, Jiang Yichen couldn't help but recall the name of Xuchen Zhenren by everyone in the Fangcai Palace, but he failed to attract attention at the time, but now he found that there was a strange thing, there were many Wudang disciples in the hall, but none of them were Xuchen's disciples and grandchildren. His apprentice grandson was locked up in the secret cave of Wudang, and asked him to visit, Jiang Yichen sorted out the relationship, but seeing that Xuchen Zhenren did not mean to elaborate, he guessed that this was probably the secret of Wudang's faction, and he was not good to say much as an outsider, so he thanked him and jumped into the cave.
Jiang Yichen was able to move forward slowly by the faint light at the beginning, and then he could only cautiously grope forward, judging the distance of the passage ahead by kicking stones, throwing stones and other small tricks, and at the same time confirming that the front was safe and correct, before moving forward.
After about a cup of tea, I finally came to a place where the light was transparent, the space here was very large, it was a four-sided brick and stone, a three-zhang square passage, it seemed that from this point of view was the place to train light skills.
What is puzzling is that the passage is blocked by brick and stone walls on all sides, but it is not impervious to breathing, and there is no open flame in the passage, but it is transparent and bright. Goodbye to this boxy structure, Jiang Yichen couldn't help but give birth to three words in his heart, Tianji faction, presumably this Wudang secret cave is a big deal of the Tianji faction, this Tianji faction is really powerful, not to mention the ingenuity and metaphysical attainments, and the relationship with the major forces seems to be particularly harmonious, but why did it disappear from the rivers and lakes?
Walking into the depths of the passage, it can be seen that there are holes the size of arrow holes evenly distributed on the stone walls on both sides, but Jiang Yichen tried to use the stones, and there was no movement, this secret cave has really been abandoned for many years, and it has not been filled with arrows again.
As for where did the stone come from? It was not picked up in the passage, but Jiang Yichen kept an eye on it, and in the small dark hole just now, he picked up more if he could pick it up and put it in his arms. Although Xuchen Zhenren has no ill will towards himself and will not harm his life, but after all, this is a secret cave for Wudang disciples to practice light exercises, and he is a newcomer and completely unfamiliar with it.
Further on, I suddenly heard the noisy sound of instruments in front of me, and when I got to the front, I found that the path of the passage was broken here, and in front of me was a three-zhang deep pit, and the dense ground thorns rose and fell in the pit, which was the source of the noisy sound.
After a careful look, I found that this side is a larger passage, there are six zhang square, the ground of the passage is covered with unstoppable, there is enough for a person to have a wide black iron earth thorn, since it is impossible to walk, the length of the passage is a mile away, and then it is the mouth of the passage that is three zhang square, if it is not from the top of the ground thorn to fly over, otherwise it is difficult to reach the other side.
Looking at the stone walls on both sides, you can see that the intermittent eaves are embedded in the walls, and it seems that this level is a test of the light skill of flying eaves and walls.
Figuring out the way, Jiang Yichen threw himself into the technique of flying eaves and walking on the wall, tapping the wall and the eaves with great strides, and easily landed on the three-zhang square passage on the opposite bank.
Continuing forward, the scenes along the way are similar to these, those holes that need to be filled are not half effective, and the ground thorns, wall thorns and the like can operate on their own, for Jiang Yichen now, they can deal with it freely and cannot form an obstacle.
Finally, at the end of the line, I saw a longitudinal pit that was nine zhang square and bottomless.
Jiang Yichen didn't think that just jumping down like this would lead to some paradise.
In this enclosed space, except for the dark pit, there are five giant chess pieces that are enough to stand for more than ten people, and it seems that the breakthrough point is those chess pieces.
These pieces are suspended in the air, moving and transposing from time to time. It can be observed that no matter how these chess pieces move, they are suspended at the same height, that is, on the same horizontal plane, and no matter how they move, the distance between the two is more than three zhang, which is not a distance that can be reached by a jump.
In this way, only Wudang's light skills, Tiyunzong, can do this.
Tiyun vertical, after jumping into the air, by the inertia of the body to stay in the air, and then use the legs to exert force, through the air surface to complete the second vertical jump in the air.
It's not bad to think about it, although Jiang Yichen is not from Wudang Sect, but this skill is taught by Xishan Island or Han Wuyue, and he naturally uses it freely.
Immediately, he saw the right time and jumped on top of a chess piece first.
At this time, Jiang Yichen found that the chess pieces were engraved with handwriting, a word "fire".
After landing, there was a constant burning sensation at his feet, the temperature of this chess piece was beyond Jiang Yichen's expectations, only for a while, the sole of the shoe had already given birth to sparks, if he stopped for a long time, I was afraid that it would burn.
Jiang Yichen had to point his toes to the ground, his feet were constantly staggered and looked around at the same time, and the other four chess pieces were indeed engraved with the words "gold", "wood", "water" and "earth", but the inscriptions on the golden chess pieces were faintly shining.
Could it be so?
Jiang Yichen saw the moment when the golden chess and the fire chess were closer, he ran and jumped on the ground, and once again cast the ladder cloud vertical, and easily landed on the golden chess, but soon jumped off the ground again, different from the fire chess, this golden chess is a ground thorn that expands up and down, of course, compared to the earth thorn at the passage, it is really a big deal here, only the size of a finger, but in terms of this sharpness, it is enough to pierce the soles of the feet.
Suffering from not having a sword to go up the mountain, Jiang Yichen had no way to borrow a sword to stabilize his body, so he had to turn his body upside down, use his two fingers to support, and stand in the gap between the ground thorns.
The light of the word "gold" on the golden chess dimmed the moment Jiang Yichen touched the ground, and over there, the word "wood" on the wooden chess immediately glowed.
And so it was!
Jiang Yichen made a push between his fingers, spun his body in the air, stepped on the edge of the chess board without ground thorns, bounced forward with his strength, and then took a ladder cloud and flew towards the wooden chess.
The wooden chess is born of thorns and vines, the small obstacles on the water character chess are the slippery surface of the chess surface that is difficult to stand firm, and the quagmire on the soil character chess is that it will fall into the quagmire of the chess surface, these small fights are all a piece of cake for Jiang Yichen, borrowing the ladder cloud vertical and various light skills, such as the method of concocting, stepping on the five elements of chess pieces one by one, to the final earth character chess, boom, a sound, the original solid wall opened a secret door.
Looks like that's the exit.
Flying into the secret door, after entering it is a three-zhang square passage, Wudang Secret Cave all the way over If it weren't for the constantly changing scene he saw, Jiang Yichen had reason to suspect that he was lost in this endless passage.
Walking to the end of the passage, there is a stone wall in front of you, and when you look up, you can see another door hole in the place where you are three feet high, which is really enough to toss people.
I don't know how many torturous arrangements there are ahead, and the Wudang disciples should all be masters of light skills when they come down this time.
Jiang Yichen couldn't help complaining in his heart, but he didn't slow down, and once again performed the eaves wall walking footwork, went up the wall, and jumped into the doorway.
What catches your eye is really a closed space that is nine feet square?
Whoa!
Dressed in white, wearing a pink shawl, with a sturdy figure, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes and red lips, the man who looks good is holding a sword lightly, and he also squints here when he sees movement at the entrance of the passage.
Isn't that the disciple of the Void Dust True Man?
The two looked at each other for a moment, Jiang Yichen took a few steps forward and bowed his hand, "I don't know if my brother is ......"
"What do you want?" the demon man interrupted Jiang Yichen.
"Huh?" Jiang Yichen looked dazed, and then saw the demon man walking towards the row of weapons displayed behind him.
Is this a one-time competition?
"Sword. Jiang Yichen was stunned for a moment.
And then. After finishing speaking, a sword flew towards Jiang Yichen.
"It's over, come on. The demon man announced the rules, but stood still.
The other party didn't make a move first, and Jiang Yichen was embarrassed to make a move, so he waited for him not to attack.
"Since that's the case, then I'll come first, be careful!" The demon man saw Jiang Yichen's humility, so he made the first move.
The demon man only took a few steps forward, and then stood still, and did not see him use a sword qi or other moves, but he was a horizontal sword in his right hand, and two fingers of his left hand were attached to the sword body, and there were words in his mouth, which seemed to be a practice!
