The Huashan faction used the "Son of Heaven" as a signal for the same door to spread news to each other, which is a well-known thing in the rivers and lakes, and Liu Yong does not have to hide it. It's just that this Heaven-shaking Son has another use, except for the disciples of the Huashan faction, the people of other gangs don't know about it.

The Son of Heaven was created by a predecessor of the Huashan Sect more than 100 years ago. It was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the senior returned to his hometown to visit his parents. At the time of the New Year's celebration, the naughty boy next door set off fireworks. The senior's heart moved, and he actually ran out and asked for a few fireworks from the urchin's hand to watch carefully.

When his family members saw that he suddenly went crazy, they were all puzzled. The senior was dancing like crazy. When he returned to Huashan, he bought gunpowder and other items from the bottom of the mountain, and hired two porters to send them to Huashan. For the next six months, the senior locked himself in the house, not knowing what he was busy with. On two occasions there was a loud noise in the house, and the house even burned. Fortunately, there were many disciples of the Huashan faction, and when everyone saw that the situation was not right, they carried water to put out the fire, which put out the fire and did not spread to other houses.

It wasn't until half a year later that the senior came out of that room, holding a few fan-sized cylinders in his hands to meet the head of the Huashan faction. The two discussed secretly for a long time, and then the head of the sect summoned a group of senior disciples of the Huashan faction and showed this thing to everyone. It turned out that this thing was an extremely dark weapon created by the predecessor of the Huashan faction inspired by fireworks. Before joining the Huashan faction, in order to eat a mouthful of food, this senior had served as a soldier in the Mengyuan Army and a gunner for returning artillery, and was very familiar with gunpowder equipment. The hidden weapon he built is borrowed from the principle of the return cannon, the bottom is equipped with a lead, after pulling hard, the hidden weapon will be ignited, and after a while, a projectile made of gunpowder will be fired from the front end, which can be shot as far as 40 zhang away, and it will explode when it encounters something to obstruct it.

Although this secret weapon is powerful, after all, it is filled with gunpowder, and the speed of firing is not fast, if it is a master of light skills, it is not difficult to avoid it. Unless the distance is extremely close and the opponent has no way to dodge, it will have the miraculous effect of a sudden blow. In addition, although it can shoot to a distance of 40 zhang, if the distance exceeds 10 zhang, the castration has declined, and the lethality is greatly reduced. The most terrible thing is that the projectile shoots out, and after flying in the air for twenty or thirty feet, if there is nothing to cover it, it will cool down and never explode again. This is completely different from the thunderbolt used by He Yi, the owner of the Five Tiger Mountain Villa. It is to use this kind of hidden weapon, the enemy must be within ten feet of the distance, and when he is completely defenseless, he can only succeed in one blow. When the head of the Huashan faction convened a group of senior disciples to discuss this matter, they all thought that although this secret weapon was extremely powerful, it also had many flaws, and they had to be cautious when using it, otherwise it would be very easy to burn themselves. In the end, he thought of a way to name this secret weapon "Earthquake Son", and only said that it was a secret technique used by the Huashan faction to summon the same door or ask for help from the same door. In this way, even if you lose your hand with this secret weapon, you can explain it to your friends in the rivers and lakes, so as not to fall into the prestige of the Huashan faction.

When everyone came to the platform, there was a bottomless abyss in front of them. Liu Yong didn't use this Earthquake Son to illuminate it, because after the Earthquake Son was launched, it had to hit something to block it before it exploded, and after the explosion, the burst of fire could illuminate the surroundings. Since this is a bottomless abyss, there is naturally nothing to block it, and the launch of the Heaven-Shaking Son has no effect. At this time, when he heard Situ Qiao begging him for the Son of Heaven, although he was quite puzzled, he didn't ask too much, took out a Son of Heaven from his arms, and handed it to Situ Qiao.

Situ Qiao shook his head and said to Liu Yong: "Mr. Liu, this Heaven-shaking Son of your faction is very powerful, and I won't use it if I don't keep it a secret." Please Mr. Liu launch a Heaven-Shaking Son at the small platform where we just set off, if it can hit the hole where we jumped down, it will be the best. ”

When everyone heard him say this, they were all shocked in their hearts, and they didn't know what Situ Qiao was doing. Liu Yong turned around and carefully identified the way he came. At this time, everyone had walked more than 20 zhang away from the small platform, but this passage was not straight, but zigzag back and forth, so if the distance was calculated in a straight line, it was only fifteen or sixteen zhang away at most. After Liu Yong judged the direction, he held the Earthquake Son with his left hand, the top pointed obliquely upward, and his right hand pulled the rope at the bottom end.

Situ Qiao said to everyone: "Everyone look carefully, you must stand firm under your feet, lest you fall into the abyss in shock, and this life can be confessed here." ”

Everyone looked at Liu Yong, but saw that his right hand was pulled hard, only to hear a "snort", a ball of fire appeared from the top of the earth-shaking son, and then a fireball the size of a walnut flew straight out. The crowd's eyes widened, staring at the trajectory of the fireball's flight. I saw that the fireball drew an arc, and after reaching the apex, it immediately turned and fell, hitting the cave wall.

As soon as the fireball collided with the stone wall, only a loud "boom" was heard, and the originally very small fireball exploded in an instant, instantly illuminating the cave wall as bright as day.

When everyone saw what was happening on the wall of the cave, their mouths opened wide one by one, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

I saw that on the wall of the cave, there was a huge disk. The diameter of this disc is more than ten zhang long, and it is densely covered with dozens of large and small square openings. What's even more strange is that the disc is slowly rotating, and as the disc rotates, those square openings are also moving up or down, left or right.

Everyone looked at the strange situation created by the heavens and the earth, and they were shocked and frightened. A few people even weakened their knees and almost fell to the ground. Situ Qiao stood behind everyone and couldn't see everyone's expressions, but he could guess it. He smiled and said, "Have you seen it?" There are a total of sixty-four holes on this huge disk, of which there is only one living gate, and there are three other flat gates, and the rest are all death gates. The entrance to the cave we walked into was the birth gate, and the one surnamed Zhu walked was supposed to be the death door, but he had a big life, and he didn't know what mechanism he touched inside, so he turned into the flat gate, and finally escaped by luck. Yao Guangxiao does have the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes, and deduce the sixty-four hexagrams from the innate gossip, and these sixty-four hexagrams are intertwined with each other, deriving thousands of changes. Awesome, awesome!"

A moment later, the flame of the Heaven-Shaking Son was extinguished, and the huge disc was plunged into darkness again.

When the Son of Heaven shines, the area around the stone wall is as bright as day, and when it is extinguished, the light of the torches in everyone's hands is insignificant. It was because everyone only felt that their eyes were dark, and their hearts were tight.

Situ Qiao said: "Everyone in this door of life and death has also seen it, and they know that Yao Guangxiao is powerful, right? At that point, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

Everyone was originally extremely dissatisfied with Situ Qiao's harshness and arrogance, but after seeing the huge disc, they suddenly felt that although Situ Qiao was arrogant, he did have some ability, but not all of them were nonsense. After hearing his words, I didn't feel harsh. Even Deng Yao and Lin Yilang, who have always spoken ill of Situ Qiao, did not retort against each other.

After Situ Qiao finished speaking, he turned around, holding a torch in one hand and sprinkling silver powder in the other, and walked forward cautiously. The crowd followed closely behind him.

Murong Danyan was shocked by what he had just seen, and felt that this time he slipped out of Murong Villa, even if the rivers and lakes were not as he thought, but he just saw a strange scene that was difficult to see in this world, even if he went back and was punished by his father, it was worth it. However, she had a lot of questions in her heart, although she knew that it was not the right time to say it at this time, and finally couldn't help but whisper to Li Qiufeng who was walking in front of her: "Brother Li, how did you say that the huge disc of Fang Cai was able to rotate on the stone wall? Could it be that Yao Guangxiao is really powerful and can drive ghosts and gods?"

Li Qiufeng walked cautiously on the passage, always paying attention to his feet, and heard Murong Danyan asking himself, but he didn't dare to look back, but he just lowered his voice and replied: "Situ Qiao said that Yao Guangxiao built such a big place here to store military rations and baggage, and there is a huge underground river in the belly of the mountain. With the power of the water flow, the mechanism can be driven. The huge disc on the stone wall, as soon as the mechanism was activated, slowly rotated, presumably driven by the flow of water. ”

Murong Danyan frowned and said, "But this is too difficult to explain. Previously, when we and Brother Zhu passed by the suspended stone staircase, we did hear a huge sound of water under our feet. But here is so lifeless that you can't even hear the sound of water, so how can you talk about the power of the water?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Li doesn't know much about the art of organ information. However, when Jin Yiwei was on an errand, he did see many masters who were proficient in the secret art of organ information. Some people use the ingenuity of the wooden wheel to rotate, and they can expand a point of strength by a hundredfold and a thousand times. I have seen a man with a hundred and ten wooden wheels, meshing with each other. He poured a cup of tea at the wooden wheel at one end, and the force of the tea pressure passed through the hundred and ten wooden wheels, and at the end he raised a long knife. The long knife was quite heavy, but it was lifted by a cup of tea. Miss Murong, do you think the secret technique of the mechanism is powerful?"

Murong Danyan said: "It's amazing, it's just that I always feel incredible when I think about it." No matter how powerful the water is, I can't believe that I want to turn this huge stone disk. ”

Li Qiufeng said: "There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching, the world is not weaker than water, and the strong can win, and it is not easy. The weak is better than the strong, the soft is better than the strong, the world knows everything, and nothing can be done. Miss Murong, Lao Tzu is a saint, and saints say that water can overcome things in the world, is it wrong?"

Murong Danyan's eyes widened, and he said, "Brother Li, you are not a monk, how can you read the Tao Te Ching?"

Li Qiufeng was stunned, secretly thinking that Miss Murong was still young, so she naturally didn't read much. This "Tao Te Ching" is a Taoist classic, but I am afraid that no one in Murong Villa has told Miss Murong. When she heard the word 'sutra', she thought it was a Buddhist scripture. Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng said: "The Tao Te Ching is not a Buddhist scripture, but a book written by Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism. The meaning of Lao Tzu's sentence is that there is nothing in the world that is weaker than water, but nothing can overcome the strength of water. Weak is better than strong, soft is better than strong, although everyone in the world knows this truth, but no one can do it. This sentence is not only a good word for people and things, but also a profound truth in martial arts. This Lao Tzu must have been a great martial arts master. ”

Murong Danyan listened to Li Qiufeng say a lot of words, but most of them didn't understand, and he wanted to ask again but was afraid that Li Qiufeng would laugh at his ignorance, so he had to be silent. She didn't know that Li Qiufeng's Xuanxuan Knife Technique was created by Zhang Sanfeng. Zhang Sanfeng is not only a martial arts master, but also a Taoist master, and the "Tao Te Ching" has long been familiar with his chest. It was when he created this set of Xuanxuan knife method that intentionally or unintentionally implied the truth in the Tao Te Ching. When Li Qiufeng learned this set of sword techniques, the person who taught him martial arts first asked him to memorize the Tao Te Ching, and then teach martial arts. It is Li Qiufeng's "Tao Te Ching" can be said to be backwards, these words are one of the famous sayings of the "Tao Te Ching", and it is the essence of the Xuanxu knife method to defeat the enemy.
