Under the icefall is a river beach, both sides are covered with fine pebbles, because the waterfall is frozen, the small river has also been frozen, the river beach terrain is very gentle, everyone will be in the upper leeward of the river beach, set up a few tents, see that the sky is getting late, can only rest on the river beach for one night, and wait for tomorrow to explore the ice fall.

The soldiers had lit a few bonfires around the tents, took out the fresh beef and mutton they had brought, went to the river to cut the ice, cleaned it, cut it open and grilled it on the fire, and some took out the spirits and drank a few sips to keep out the cold. The master and servant of Duo'er carried the mutton on the fire with a knife, and at the same time sprinkled some fine spices on the meat, and after a while, the aroma wafted all around, which made people appetize.

At night, the surroundings became more and more dry and cold, although there was no wind, but the air seemed to be frozen, fortunately, the soldiers added a few more bonfires, formed a circle, the bonfire circle was warm, the soldiers had wine to keep out the cold, Qin Fei and Duo'er master and servant had excellent internal skills, and the night passed quickly.

The next day, everyone came to the bottom of the icefall with the application equipment, looked up, and saw that the icefall was about 100 zhang high, and the entrance of the cave was in the middle of the icefall, about 50 zhang from the ground.

Qin Fei instructed the villagers: "After we go up, you go to the camp to wait, if there is a way to other places inside, you may linger in it for a day or two, if there is no other place to go, we will come down in the afternoon." The leader of the soldiers nodded in agreement.

The original climbing rope was no longer useful, and Qin Fei only brought a flying claw hundred refining rope, about ten zhang long, in case of emergency. Qin Fei said to Duo'er's master and servant: "I'll go up first, and you will follow." ”

Qin Fei visually observed that there were continuous protruding stones on the cliff wall every few zhang, and it was no trouble for Duo'er's master and servant to climb it.

Qin Fei and the others began to climb up from a few feet next to the icicle, because they were afraid that the icicle would be shaken and break from above, so they left the icicle to prevent the icicle from falling and hurting people. Qin Fei was the first to jump up, only lightly vertical, and then landed on a stone wall five zhang high above, and then a vertical, and landed on the protruding stone wall of five zhang above, after a while, it was already up to the level of the entrance of the icefall cave, next to the entrance of the cave, and the protruding stones of the stone wall could go directly to the entrance of the cave.

Qin Fei stepped to the entrance of the cave, and saw that the ground was very dry, the top of the cave was more than 20 zhang from the ground, the entrance of the cave was very wide, about more than ten zhang wide, most of it was covered by the icefall, and the bright light outside shone on the inside through the icefall, which looked magnificent and fantastic.

Qin Fei leaned out and shouted below, "Come up." ”

Duo'er turned around and ordered the soldiers to go back to the camp and wait, and went up with Shen'er and Mo'er, and followed Qin Fei's route to the entrance of the cave.

Qin Fei lit the torch and led the way in front, and several people walked towards the cave. The inside of the cave is still very dry, not like a closed cave, the ground is sandstone, and the overall is quite flat. After walking for a cup of tea, the terrain gradually went up, and the flame of the torch in his hand seemed to be blown by the wind, jumping left and right.

Duo'er said: "Brother Qin, look at the flames, there should be an exit in the cave." ”

After walking for another half an hour, it was more than ten miles away from the original cave entrance, but it was still not at the end of the cave, Qin Fei couldn't help but marvel at the magic of the creation, this cave was obviously not artificially chiseled, but it was naturally traversed in the belly of the mountain for more than ten miles, but I didn't know where the exit was. After walking for a long time, the cave was not depressed, but there was an occasional cool breeze passing by, and it was not as cold as the entrance of the cave, but it seemed to slowly warm up, as if it was summer.

"Miss, do I feel warmer, not like winter, like it's almost summer. Shen'er said later, and Mo'er was also shouting heat.

Qin Fei said: "This is not strange, as long as this cave has another exit, then this cave is like an ancient well, warm in winter and cool in summer." The entire mountain wall is like a cloak wrapped in it. But if it is a dead hole, it will not be so warm, in addition to being stuffy, it will get colder and colder, and it will be hotter when it is hot. ”

Duo'er pointed ahead: "Brother Qin, look, there seems to be a bright light over there." Everyone looked closely, and there was indeed a glimmer of light ahead, as if it was the exit of the cave. Everyone quickened their pace forward, and in a moment, they came to a huge cave, with a radius of a hundred zhang and a height of about four or five zhang. There is no need for torches in the cave, and the exit is outside the hall. There are dozens of zhang wide, everyone came to the side to see, the foot is the bottomless cliff, raise the eyes to see the distance is the reckless green mountain, can not see the edge at a glance, and then look up, it is also a cliff that can not see the top at a glance, smooth as a mirror.

The cave where everyone settled could not reach the sky or the ground, like a cave embedded in mid-air. Qin Fei stood at the entrance of the cave, discerned the direction, and said: "Cuixiu Peak is north of Guojiazhai, now the sun is bright but the sun is not visible, I think it is blocked by the rocks on the top of the mountain, and it should also be facing the north." After a pause, he said: "Guojiazhai is built on the back of the mountain, all the way north through Heng Mountain is Yanmen Pass, it seems that the mountains that cannot be seen at a glance in front of you are Heng Mountain." ”

There is no way out before everyone meets, go back to the cave to look at the situation in the cave, and see that there is a huge stone platform against the inner wall, the radius is about several zhang, and the stone platform is surrounded by a circle of smooth stones, just like the stone bench around the stone platform. There were a few clay pots on the stone platform, and nothing else.

Everyone was slightly disappointed, and walked in the cave for an hour over the mountains and mountains, but it was only a stone cave here, and the three of Duo'er's master and servant were a little tired, brushed off the dust on the stone bench, and sat around the stone platform to rest.

Qin Fei looked at something around the stone cave and looked up carefully along the perimeter of the stone wall. The stone wall that came to the exit of the stone cave was not very clear because it was carrying the light outside the cave.

Qin Fei took a torch and lit it, and saw that there was a stone on the door of the cave, and the inner wall of about one zhang wide on the stone seemed to be engraved with a picture, so he put a stone on it, held the torch and looked at it, and saw that the wall dozens of zhang wide from left to right was carved with human-shaped pictures, and slowly came to the far right, leaving dense small characters, all of which were small seals.

Qin Fei held the torch, carefully identified, and after a while, jumped off the stone.

At this moment, Duo'er's master and servant were already standing behind Qin Fei, seeing Qin Fei lighting the torch, he knew that he had made a discovery, and when he saw Qin Fei jumping down, Duo'er asked: "Brother Qin, there seems to be a picture on it, I don't know what it is carved?"

Qin Fei pointed to the picture on the stone and said: "This is one of the valley places of Guiguzi's predecessors, the originator of the strategist and the vertical and horizontal family during the Warring States Period. ”

When Duo'er's master and servant heard the name of Guiguzi, they only felt very familiar, but they didn't know much about it, and asked, "Who is this Guiguzi?"

Qin Fei was yearning, and said solemnly with a solemn face: "This person is the first master of power and strategy in the Warring States, with the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and his wisdom is outstanding, and he can't reach people, and what he thinks and says is shocking and unpredictable. ”

"The power of one person, regard the world as a chess game, hold black in the left hand and white in the right hand, put the world in the game, sit down and the four disciples Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Sun Bin and Pang Juan wander around the world, go out and enter the phase, turn over the hands for the clouds and cover the hands for the rain, decide the survival of the countries, and be recognized as the first strange person in the ages!"

When Duo'er's master and servant heard this, they all smacked their tongues.

"This is the place where Guiguzi opened the valley, and it is said that after Guiguzi opened the valley thirteen times, the merits were completed and the Tao soared. This is one of the thirteen valley places, and the thirteen chapters of the Guigu Kendo are engraved on it. ”

"Brother Qin, listening to what you said, then presumably this thirteen chapters of the sword path are also peerless martial arts?" asked Duo'er.

Qin Fei nodded, "After a cursory look, I only feel that it is all-encompassing and unpredictable. It's just trying to get together, but it's not that easy. There are only thirteen styles of swordsmanship on it, but after each style, there are countless changes to the wall. ”

Duo'er and the others looked up carefully, but the light was too dim to see clearly, and they could only see clearly by jumping on a stone and lighting a torch. At that moment, several people jumped on the stones, and there were many torches with them, so they lit the torches and watched carefully.

Duo'er's master and servant are all kendo masters, and at a glance, they are attracted by the sword moves engraved on the wall, and they can no longer turn their eyes, that is, in terms of their current skills, the three of them are not far behind the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes. Many wonderful moves that I had never thought of before appeared in front of me at once, and the more I looked at it, the more mysterious I felt, and the more I looked at it, the more incredible I felt.
