Chapter 269: The Dumb Man's Iron Head Gong

Xiao Qingfeng said: "To be honest, I do feel the same way, I feel that this chain hole should definitely not end here, it's just that I can't find any valuable clues that are closer." I suddenly have an idea now, I want Brother Wolf to go up and replace the second brother of the judge, maybe he will make some new discoveries. ”

After hearing this, Mengshan Turtle nodded in agreement, and even suggested that the people above could take turns to come down and try to find it, maybe there would be some unexpected gains. After all, there are many people, and there is great power in many people.

After the four of them discussed, Xiao Qingfeng raised his head and said loudly to the lone wolf: "Brother Wolf, you and Jingxin come down first, and let the two turtle brothers go up for you." ”

When the lone wolf heard this, they immediately quickly went down to the cave hall, and each launched a serious search for the cave hall according to their own ideas. At the same time, the two brothers quickly returned to the top of the shaft and continued to serve as the watchman.

Soon, Lone Wolf and Jingxin returned to the shaft without making any progress. And according to Xiao Qingfeng's meaning, he quickly withdrew to the peach blossom cave and replaced the dumb man and the doll.

Not to mention, it's really fucking evil today, after the two of them went down to the cave hall, it took them less than five minutes to inadvertently find a major clue.

It turned out that after the two came down, the dumb people used various methods very seriously, trying to find out. It's just that the doll is a bit hanging, looking like she is dealing with business, kicking two feet here casually, and tapping a few times there at will. Fortunately, except for the injured Xiao Maitreya just now, everyone else also took turns to try, and no one made any valuable discoveries. Therefore, for her playful behavior, even Xiao Qingfeng didn't bother to take care of her.

As everyone knows, when the doll was so messy, she seemed to be using too much force and suddenly lost control of her center of gravity, and suddenly stumbled straight onto the back of the mute who was squatting next to her. At this moment, the mute was just about to get up and move forward, when she was so slammed into it, and with two strokes, one hit the rock wall in front of him.

If it were someone else, I am afraid it would be nothing, just a small episode. But the dumb Thirteen Taibao horizontal practice, what kind of golden bell cover iron cloth shirt, especially the iron head Gong is strong. Although it was just a trivial accident, he was a natural reflex, and he subconsciously used the iron head gong and hit it hard all of a sudden.

You must know that he has practiced iron head skills since he was a child, and this little fifty years of skill is not a joke, even if there is a cow, I am afraid that he will be knocked unconscious on the spot.

I only heard a heavy bang, and when everyone looked again, the dumb iron head of the person was not injured and bleeding. But to everyone's surprise, the opposite rock wall was knocked out of a big hole by him, which made everyone stunned.

Everyone was shocked, only to find that the "big hole" that was knocked open by the dumb man was a square passage entrance, about half a meter square. It's just that no one can understand that the location of this "big hole" has been repeatedly checked many times just now, why it just made him appear magically when he hit his head. It can be said that every inch of the rock wall under this small cave hall has been carefully touched by everyone at least five or six times in various methods, including tapping and listening, and no obvious abnormalities have been found.

Just when everyone was puzzled, suddenly the dumb man shouted happily: "Look, what word is this?"

On the rock wall on the right side of the hole, I don't know when I also recessed a piece of myself. This rock wall recessed out of thin air is about the size of an ordinary pot lid now, and the perimeter seems to have drawn a circle with cinnabar, and inside the circle is a large yang-carved ancient seal, and there are no other text marks.

Xiao Qingfeng took a few serious glances, and then recognized that this ancient seal was the word "cautious" for "prudent". And it can be roughly concluded that the word "Shen" and the small seal stone carving on the pedestal of the "Peach Blossom Fairy" stone statue in the Peach Blossom Cave are all from the hand of that Yichen Dao person.

However, almost at the same time, the doll that had just gotten up also suddenly screamed loudly: "Back, back, look!"

Xiao Qingfeng was startled by her screaming again, and hurriedly shifted his position and turned around, and at the same time pulled the doll behind him and protected her with his body.

After hearing the doll's scream, the prodigal son jumped in front of the hole that the dumb man had just knocked open, and guarded the hole with all his body, in case something dangerous suddenly rushed out of it at this time. The mute, who had just come to his senses, also touched his bald head, and stood back to back with the prodigal son, his eyes wide open, and he was on guard of the surrounding situation.

After Xiao Qingfeng stood firm, he looked fixedly, only to see that on the opposite rock wall, a large area of Yin carved ancient seal font suddenly appeared. Dare to love, just now the doll was just frightened by these stone carvings that appeared out of thin air, not that she found any terrifying demons. Seeing these stone carvings, Xiao Qingfeng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and regained his calm.

After a slight pause, I saw that he ignored the stone inscriptions for the time being, but turned around again and said to the mute and the prodigal son: "Ah Lang, you continue to guard this passage, and if there is anything abnormal, you will immediately take the first action, and you must not let anything rush out." Second brother, you immediately take the doll up, let Jingxin and Brother Turtle come down, and then you will set up a guard bell on all the passages just now to ensure that our retreat is safe. ”

After listening to this, the dumb man didn't say a word, and quickly returned to the top of the shaft with the doll, and went to arrange the alarm bell according to Xiao Qingfeng's request. And Jing Xin, Mengshan Turtle, and Little Taoist Priest quickly went down to the small cave hall. After they came down, they didn't need Xiao Qingfeng's orders at all, and the two of them sat directly in the center of the cave hall.

And Jing Xin walked straight to Xiao Qingfeng, who was studying the large stone carvings, and took pictures from multiple angles. Mengshan Turtle and Little Taoist looked like they were in a meditation, but in fact, they were adjusting their bodies to the best state, ready to burst out to deal with all kinds of dangerous situations. With their brother on their side, Xiao Qingfeng and they were able to calm down and better study the content of the stone carvings.

Sure enough, in ten minutes, Xiao Qingfeng and Jing Xin completely understood the content of this large Yin carved ancient seal. It turned out that this stone carving was also from the hand of the Ming Dynasty Yiren Yichen Taoist.

The content of this moment is divided into two parts: first, it tells the story of the past and present life of this Tibetan Soldier Cave, when, who built it, and what was its purpose, and second, why he chose to live in seclusion here, what kind of demons are the so-called "male and female demons", and how he subdued and imprisoned them here.

The only pity is that he didn't have any clear introduction to his life experience, just a simple sentence of "people in the mountains and wilderness of Daming".

To everyone's surprise, the serial hole that everyone sees today should be called the Tibetan Soldier Cave, which was actually excavated by Cao Cao and Cao Mengde, a generation of heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

In the third year of the early peace of the late Han Dynasty (192 AD), the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou surrendered unconditionally like Cao Cao. Qingzhou after surrendering

The Yellow Turban Army, including their families, totaled more than one million, and the strong ones were directly organized into an army, which was later the famous Qingzhou Army.

So many men and horses poured into Cao Cao's command at once, although in vain they increased his popularity and prestige. However, at that time, Cao Cao did not have a solid base area, and the territory he actually controlled was very small, coupled with the perennial mobile warfare, so there was a serious lack of financial resources and poor supplies, so that he often struggled to make ends meet.

Just when Cao Cao had a big headache for the army's salary and military morale, one of his strategists stood up and offered a "clever plan". This strategist is named Xi Zhicai, and later Guo Jia is known as Cao Cao's most relied on confidant strategist in the early days, with great talent and good strategy, and has made great contributions to the establishment of Cao Cao's early military and political affairs. So much so that after his untimely death, Cao Cao sighed to another strategist, Xun Yu: "Since the death of (play) Zhicai, there is no one who can do things with him!"

The "clever plan" offered by Xi Zhicai is nothing else, it is to "borrow treasures" from the underground, which is actually to rob tombs to obtain wealth and subsidize military salaries.

Coincidentally, this Cao Cao, who was called "a traitorous male" by later generations, is the so-called person who "does not care about the details and does not give up small gifts". He is a hero with the world in mind, as long as he can fill in the stomach of the soldier and have the capital to seek the world, he doesn't care about the "infamy" before and after him.

After hearing this, he immediately selected his henchmen, and also set up the official positions of "Faqiu Zhonglang General" and "Captain Touching Jin", and asked them to look around for those "famous" tombs, and openly excavate and steal them on a large scale. Even, when he was digging the tomb of King Xiao of Han Liang, Cao Cao also came to guide and plunder treasures. It is said that this large tomb alone was enough for Cao Cao's military expenses for three years at that time.

However, due to the unstable foundation at the beginning of his construction, he had to personally lead the troops to fight outside all the year round. And the large amount of gold and silver property he stole was inconvenient to carry with him all day long, so as not to have many extraneous branches in the long night, so he privately discussed with Xi Zhicai and secretly found a place for temporary storage for long-term planning.

Coincidentally, Xi Zhicai accidentally learned about the existence of this Taohuashan (Hulongling) chain cave in the early years, and knew that the space in this natural cave was huge, which was very suitable for transformation and utilization. Moreover, this was near Cao Cao's base camp at that time, and the basic conditions were stable and convenient for actual control.

In addition, the terrain of this Peach Blossom Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. So Cao Cao secretly ordered Xi Zhicai to lead tens of thousands of strong people to dig and expand the original chain hole, claiming to dig and excavate the Tibetan soldier cave.

In less than two years, Xi Zhicai basically completed the expansion of the Tibetan Soldier Cave. The whole Tibetan Soldier Cave comes in from the dark passage at the bottom of the Wanzhang Cliff Reservoir in the east, directly leads to the belly of the main peak Taohua Peak, and finally returns to the Taohua Cave. The passage at both ends is not very wide, and it is tortuous and deep, but the main cave inside is very large, and it has been artificially expanded into a three-story cave according to the original natural cave. Each floor is the same as a relatively small shaft or inclined shaft, and the space gradually decreases from the bottom to the top.

According to the design of Xi Zhicai at that time, the top layer was dedicated to storing those rare treasures stolen from ancient tombs, and they were generally not used much. The second layer is used to store the ordinary gold and silver belongings in those ancient tombs, and they can be transported out at any time in case of emergency. The bottom layer is really used to store grain and grass for emergencies, but it is not easy to mix in normal times.

Here we also talk about the three valleys behind the mountain, which were not excavated at that time, but have always existed. Whether they were naturally formed or were artificially excavated in the early years is not clearly stated, but only a passing mention.
