Chapter 53: The Infinite Mountain
The autumn wind is sorrowful, the cold shadow of the near river, the water and the sky are vast, the fog is stained with frost, and the dew is dotted.
A long trail of footprints tread on the squishy riverbank, turning up the black and yellow soil.
Under the overcast sky, the group walked around the river beach and finally stopped under a boulder.
Gu Changqing looked at the boulder in front of him, it was about a foot square, and there were traces of water stains at the bottom, and it was expected that this stone was still soaking in the river water last night and struggling.
Qian He wore a brown robe, rolled up his trouser legs, and slammed his shoes on the boulder, splashing mud.
Zhuge Ming smiled and said, "Lord Qian, you don't have the demeanor of a prefect at all. ”
Qian He said: "If you want to be very stylish, it's good to be comfortable." ”
This group of people is Gu Changqing Qian He.
Qian He originally planned to enter the Demon Cave today, but Gu Changqing tried his best to persuade him to postpone it for a day, although he didn't know the deep meaning, but he knew that Gu Changqing acted without purpose, so he obeyed.
However, since it was postponed for a day, he was idle today, so he took Gu Changqing to the riverside to investigate the environment.
Gu Changqing also hurried over with Zhuge Ming and Yabato and four Kunlun guards.
Gu Changqing looked back at the Yangtze River, and he couldn't see anything clearly with the naked eye.
Qian He said: "When the fog clears, Lord Gu will naturally see the entrance of the Demon Cave, which is a pile of rocks. ”
He looked at the boulder in front of him again and continued, "It's the size of this stone, and there are a hundred of them. ”
Gu Changqing said: "This stone is only the size of a zhang, and the river is bottomless, how can the rocks appear on the surface of the water?"
"This is the effect of the Optimus Technique, nothing within a radius of ten miles from the Demon Cave can sink to the bottom. ”
Hearing this, Zhuge Ming asked: "The demon cave is in the water, since nothing can sink to the bottom of the water, how can you get in?"
"Everything is a combination of yin and yang, and although the magic of the sky is endless, there are also things that can be restrained. ”
Zhuge Ming's curiosity suddenly rose, and he asked, "What is that?"
Qian He pretended to be profound: "You'll know tomorrow." ”
Gu Changqing saw that the mist on the river surface had not dispersed for a long time, so he opened the eyes of heaven.
As soon as the eyes of heaven were opened, the world in the line of sight completely changed, the heavens and the earth were black and white, and there were countless light points like fireflies rising from below, this was the mana scattered between the heavens and the earth, but no one had ever been able to obtain these heaven and earth mana.
In addition to the mana of heaven and earth, the world in the eye of heaven can be seen at a glance, and with a little mana, it can penetrate the mist.
It's a pity that Gu Changqing is only a seventh grade, and the visual distance of the Tianyan is extremely limited, and he can only see ten miles away at most.
He swept it away, and the river was depressed, and the water surface in late autumn was like stagnant water, and there was not the slightest ripple, which could not help but make him a little disappointed.
After Qian He cleaned all the dirt on his shoes, he said to Gu Changqing: "Lord Gu, this fog will not disperse for a while, let's go and rest for a while." ”
Zhuge Ming said: "Lord Qian, there is not even a family by this river, where can I rest?"
Qian He said: "Where the demon cave is, how can the Dao Urn Division not send someone to guard it?"
He pointed to a mountain to the west and said, "This mountain is called Wuliang Mountain, and there is a Taoist temple in the mountain, which was built together with the Demon Cave. ”
Zhuge Ming was shocked: "The predecessor of the Demon Cave was the Demon Suppression Palace, and the Demon Suppression Hall was a product of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
"If the historical records of the Demon Cave are good, then it is. ”
Taoist temples in the Shang and Zhou dynasties?
Gu Changqing couldn't help but also be interested in the Taoist temple in the mountain.
Qian He said as he walked: "I went to that Taoist temple three years ago, and it was already very deserted at that time, and now I don't know if there is anyone else, so I should try my luck." ”
Gu Changqing said: "Don't you care about Dao Gongsi?"
"Nominally, it is under the control of the Taoist priest, but it must also be served. ”
Gu Changqing was stunned, what do you mean by this?
Qian He didn't continue, his expression was a little solemn.
Half an hour later, several people went up to Wuliang Mountain.
There are pine trees all over the place, neatly and neatly, and it seems that someone has deliberately cultivated them.
Gu Changqing was curious, but Qian He didn't say a word.
When I went up to the top of the mountain, I saw the smoke curling from a distance, and an idyllic courtyard came into view.
Before he could get closer, there were suddenly a few dog barks, and in the blink of an eye, a big yellow dog rushed out of the yard, cocking his tail and barking at Gu Changqing and the others.
Gu Changqing looked at the big yellow dog and found that this dog seemed to be a little different from ordinary dogs, but he couldn't say what was different.
Abaatar stepped forward to chase him away, when a childish voice came from the courtyard.
"Rhubarb, who's coming?"
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy hurried out with a kitchen knife in his hand.
The moment the young man saw Gu Changqing and Qian He, he was stunned.
"Wang-"
The barking of the big yellow dog brought the young man back to his senses, he squatted down and took the dog into his arms, and stroked it gently: "Rhubarb, you can't mess around when you come to the door." ”
The young man calmed the big yellow dog, raised his head and said with a smile: "Lord Qian, Lord Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"
Qian He said in a deep voice: "That's it, after so many years, haven't you left yet?"
The young man said: "Where can I go, the world is big, and only here can accommodate me." ”
After speaking, he looked at Gu Changqing and asked, "Lord Gu, what about you?"
Gu Changqing frowned and said, "You know me?"
The young man smiled: "Lord Gu is really a noble person who forgets things, and the things of seven years ago have been forgotten so quickly?"
Gu Changqing's heart sank, and he looked at the young man, and was suddenly shocked.
"Are you Gu Xiaoan?"
Gu Changqing never imagined that he would see Gu Xiao'an here, wasn't he already dead?
Moreover, seven years ago, Gu Xiaoan was as old as himself, but Gu Xiaoan in front of him was actually younger than seven years ago.
Why is that?
At this time, another person walked out of the courtyard, he was wearing a red Taoist robe, a square hat, a white face and beard, and said with a gloomy face as soon as he appeared: "Master Gu, we meet again." ”
After Gu Changqing saw this person, he was shocked again, this person was actually Liu Fang.
He set his eyes on Qian He, and after he left seven years ago, only he knew what had happened.
However, Qian He turned a deaf ear to Gu Changqing's inquiring gaze, and actually raised his feet and walked towards the courtyard.
Liu Fang made a gesture of invitation and said, "Master Gu, meet again after a long absence, I have a lot of things to say to you!"
Gu Changqing didn't understand what was going on, and he didn't want to say much, so he nodded and followed Qian He in.
Entering the courtyard, Gu Xiaoan served tea to everyone, and Liu Fang said, "You continue to cook, remember to cook a few more dishes." ”
Gu Xiaoan smiled: "Don't worry, Lord Qian and Master Gu are both distinguished guests, I don't dare to slack off." ”
When leaving, when passing by Gu Changqing's side, Gu Xiaoan suddenly turned around and glanced at Gu Changqing with deep meaning.
Gu Changqing knew that he must have something to say to him alone, but now was not the time.
After Liu Fang took off his hat, he picked up the tea and said: "Two adults, old friends reunite, and I will toast you with tea instead of wine." ”
He drank it all, and his face was full of joy.
However, Qian He shook his head and said, "Why don't you leave?"
Gu Changqing knew that Qian He was finally going to say it.
