Volume 4 [Eight Realms Chaoyi] 355: The first Baoding of the Pagoda
The smoke had cleared, and it was nearly dusk.
Li Meijiao and Mu Tong prepared some dry food and distributed it to everyone. With apprehension and anticipation, everyone began to climb the mountain. More than 1,000 people were divided into more than a dozen teams and marched together towards Yangshan Castle. The spark shone brightly underfoot, and the ground still had the residual warmth of burning. The charred dead wood is strangely shaped and has a variety of shapes. Like a devil scratching his head and making gestures, showing his teeth and dancing his claws. Wisps of green smoke still rose from the tips of the black claws, and the clouds were mixed when night came.
The pungent green smoke forced Mo Na and the others to tie veils one after another. Without thorns such as thorny vines and weeds, the march speed was much faster. In less than half an hour, we crossed the outer ring and arrived at the mountain stream. Lu Shaoan pointed to the stream in front of him and said, "Brothers, I have been to the stream in front of me before. After crossing the creek, everyone must be careful....... ”
The sisters, under the smoke, did not want to speak, but just listened and moved forward. However, this time they did not encounter any danger, and they made it to the top of the mountain without any problems. The summit is not as sharp as it is seen below, but the terrain is flat and varied. For example, the ruins of abandoned towers, or temples in the mountains, dojos of gods, and similar stations.
There is no more smoke here, so the view is exceptionally clear. Below is a staircase paved with stone slabs, and on both sides are strange rocks, and the scales are proportionate. Cast strange shadows under the stars. The stacking of heavy rocks here and there is not a natural scene, but the appearance of being in disrepair after years of wind and frost. Although the stone forests on both sides of the steps are varied, they are all gathered together and scattered, which is deliberately artificial.
Everyone made a detour along the steps, and finally reached the position of the sharp corner when they were on the cliff top of the moon. The strange structure resembling the castle is not a real castle, but a pagoda perched diagonally on a hill. The pagoda has long since collapsed, like a crooked onion planted under the rocks. As a result, only a small part of the top of the pagoda can be seen. It is shaped like a spring shoot at the top, with sharp edges and corners. The tower is like a bottle, concave and convex, like a woman wrapped in green silk, with orchid hooks, lying sideways.
Xingyun said, "Let's take a break here and eat some dry food." I think...... The location of the tomb should be under this ruined tower. We'll start looking for the entrance in a moment!"
Lu Feiyan said: "Just now at the bottom of the mountain, I saw a stone pier that looked like a broken bridge on the stream that Shao'an said. Could it be a moat?"
Xian'er said, "If that's a moat, how big is this tower?"
Xingyun said: "Fifth sister is right! The change of address has made it no longer what it used to be. We are not familiar with the environment below the pagoda, and we don't know how large the area is inside. So everyone should be extra careful for a while. As he spoke, he took out the Mixed World Pill Furnace and put some pills in it.
The divine fire in the Dan furnace burned the pill, and a wisp of green smoke came out. She put the Dan furnace under her nose and smelled it, then handed it to Xian'er, and explained to everyone: "Everyone will smell this Dan furnace for a while, this green smoke can keep you from poisonous gas for an hour." Within an hour, we must return to the surface. ”
With everything ready, Mona walked to the spire of the pagoda and asked all the disciples to retreat behind the boulder. took out a flowery pen in the air with a gorgeous move, sketched out a few dragons, and the dragons spiraled out and went straight to the tile roof. 'Boom' sounded the rocks shattered, the sand and stones burst out, and the tile beams were opened. The pagoda was surrounded by black dust, and a group of bats fished out of the breach of the pagoda, and the rampage flew away in panic. When the dust settles at the entrance, Mona transforms into a demon phoenix and jumps into the pagoda, falling freely.
After a while, a red light lit up, and the pagoda lit up. Then, there was a loud echo: "It's safe here, let's come in......!"
Hearing this, Xingyun and the others jumped down one after another. Mona has already illuminated the inside with the Demon Realm Flame. Without waiting for the disciples behind to come in one after another, Xingyun took out the sheepskin map that Dao Meimei gave her, looked at the map and then looked at the scene, and sighed: "This pagoda has fallen, so this map can only let us know the location of some traps, but it can't show us the way." So, it's up to us to find the way!"
Qiu Yang said: "The head is the lord of the demon world, so he is not afraid of the dark. It is safest for the boss to lead the way. The five masters have the eyes of the snow owl, which can be seen for several miles, just in line with the master. Others followed!"
Mona then drew the fire from her forehead and lit the torches in the hands of the sisters. They began to descend cautiously down the sloping wall. From time to time, Damuti warned in front: "Be careful in the back, the foot is steep and slippery!"
A quarter of an hour later, they reached the end of the wall, and there was no way out before them. Looking down, there was darkness below. The whole leaning tower is like a huge dry well, bottomless.
Lu Feiyan snatched a torch from her disciple and threw it down. While the torches were falling freely, another group of bats were 'chirping' and flying out in all directions.
"This tower is a circular structure, and it is estimated that there are more than 20 floors. The cemetery is most likely underneath the pagoda. When the torch was dropped just now, I saw an arched island round platform in the shape of Wanfuding under 20 zhang. I don't know if it will be the entrance to the tomb. ”
"But it's so deep here, and you can't do it. Even if the second sister is not afraid of the dark, it is inevitable to bump and bump when she falls. If you run into any hidden weapons again, it will be dangerous!" Xian'er looked at Mona worriedly.
"-I have a way!" Mo Na slashed her wrist with a raw flower pen, splashed ink, and drew a pair of male and female spiders in the air. The moment the giant spider came to life from the paintbrush, it immediately began to climb the wall, and when it found its way, it quickly smashed its hind feet, brought out a stream of silver thread from its buttocks, and hung it on the wooden cone at the feet of Mona. Then he kicked his eight toes, suspended and fell, and fell ...... while pulling silk.
In order to let everyone see clearly, Bai Zimo waved her sleeves and sprinkled a piece of gold dust. Summoning secret fireflies, swarms poured into the hole. A little bit of light accumulates into a lot, like a galaxy dotted with countless stars, and like a jade belt woven with pieces of gold leaf. The jade belt stretches out to the ground like a well rope, illuminating the 'deep well' of more than 20 zhang slightly.
Suddenly, an insect hissed .......
The male spider was frantically bitten by some bats, and the female spider was so frightened that she hurriedly retracted the thread and climbed up along the silk thread. Fortunately, the spider silk left by the male spider is still there, and the disciples can follow the spider silk. Therefore, Mo Na did not cast the spell again, but said to everyone: "Zi Mo's light skills are good, and the secret weapon is also powerful, follow me down to remove those dirty things." You take your disciples down this silk thread. With that, she turned into a black phoenix and circled down.
The white purple jasmine stepped on the blue flash butterfly and followed. As she fell, she released hundreds of steel balls, and wherever they hit, all the bat groups hanging upside down in the darkness were shot down. She threw with both hands, like a fairy scattering flowers, agile and swift. The hidden vessels made a 'chirping' sound, echoing throughout the pagoda.
Nebula, Lu Feiyan, Xian'er, and Damuti also jumped off one after another. Qiuyang and Lu Shao'an arranged for their disciples to follow up in an orderly manner. Soon all the staff entered the well. Everyone gathered around the arch to take a look, and this was indeed an upside-down Wanfuding, rising from the ground like an isolated island. The tripod is made of bronze, and the dust has accumulated on it, and the thick dust has almost buried the word Fu.
Xingyun ordered dozens of disciples to open the Fuding, and the moment the copper tripod was opened, a blue vortex appeared in everyone's sight. Think of a bronze pot that has been lifted from the lid. And the blue water contained in it can rotate without the action of external force, which makes everyone feel incredible.
Nebula looked around and said, "What should I do? There's no road around here." This blue vortex is probably the entrance to the ancient tomb. I really didn't expect that the ancient tomb of Jiubao Tai Sui actually set up such a mysterious entrance. I'm afraid that there will be more variables waiting for us inside, in case there is no return after entering the Ding, then the gains outweigh the losses!"
"Yes! My eyes can only see in the distance, or in the shadows. But I can't see that I'm wearing blue water, I really don't know what's going on below!" As soon as Lu Feiyan's words fell, suddenly, there was a 'boom' from above, and a series of echoes came from the entrance of the cave. Then, the fireflies fell one after another, and the torches in the hands of the disciples were instantly extinguished. The whole environment immediately darkened, and only the blue water in the tripod glowed blue.
"Oh no! someone sealed the hole!" Li Xiao said with a smile.
"Nonsense! Our people have already come in, but who is outside? I think the hole above is not stable in gravel, so it collapsed automatically?" Tamu asked.
"Impossible!" At this time, Nebula analyzed: "If it collapses automatically, it won't leave no gaps at all." The torches in your hands are all lit with the fire of the Demon Realm of the Master, and they cannot be extinguished by the wind or flooded unless they are cut off from the air. If it can be extinguished, it means that this place is completely sealed, so the oxygen here will not last us long!"
Lu Shao'an said: "I just said that this mountain is very weird, many disciples were hung to trees for some reason, but we don't even know who the murderer is." We went so smoothly all the way, I thought it was strange! Sure enough, we were still plotted by someone. ”
Mo Na said: "I think what Shao'an said makes sense, if someone really deliberately blocked the entrance, then as long as we catch that person, he must know the secret under this whirlpool!"
"I really can't do it, I can only jump into the whirlpool to find out!" Li Xiao said with a smile: "Only me and Mo Na here are Yero Immortal Roots, and I am a man." Why don't I go down and have a look!"
"—no!" the sisters objected in unison. Especially Damuti, afraid that he would be able to make a desperate move for a while, he hurriedly took Li Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "You don't want to die, if you can't get out, then what should Mu Bao'er and I do?"
Nebula analyzed, "Okay, okay! No one is allowed to jump." Let's save our energy and find a way to get out! The air here is getting thinner and thinner, and so many of us breathe at the same time, and we can't hold on for long. Fortunately, when we were outside, I let everyone smell the smoke, and within half an hour, we had to get out of here and return to the camp for a long time. ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a miserable scream from a disciple behind him, which shocked others. The surrounding disciples hurriedly confirmed the situation, and when they saw the screaming person falling, they stopped breathing, and immediately reported: "Master, he ...... he died!"
Mo Na immediately asked, "How did he die? What just happened?" Mo Na pushed aside the crowd, came to the disciple who had died suddenly, squatted down to take a look, and then said: "Oh no! Hurry up, there are corpse Gu here!"
