Chapter 48: The Return
Wang Yuan returned to the stone house, and Qingshan followed him. "Brother Wang, there's nothing here, we should go back. If it's too late, it'll be dark when you go back. ”
"Wait a minute, I feel like something isn't quite right in this stone house. Wang Yuan said as he pulled out the dragon slaying knife, he struck it on the stone wall with the back of the knife, and sure enough, there was a strange sound coming from the stone wall facing the door!
"Brother Qingshan, come here and listen!" Qingshan heard Wang Yuan calling him, and quickly leaned closer. Wang Yuan tapped the stone wall several times in a row, "The sound here is different?" Qingshan said in surprise.
"That's right, if I'm right, there's a secret room behind here!"
"Secret room?"
"Yes, you can help me find the switch, and let's turn it on together. ”
"Okay! I'll look for it here!" Aoyama replied, and began to carefully search for the dense switch. Wang Yuan went to the other side to look for it. A prescription hole in the stone wall attracted Wang Yuan's attention, he originally thought it was for placing items, but he had seen that there was nothing in it just now. Now it's time to double-check. Wang Yuan put his hand into the hole and touched it inch by inch, up and down, left and right, but there was nothing special in it, it was really just a place to put things. Wang Yuan withdrew his hand, shook his head, and continued to look for the mechanism.
"Brother Wang, come quickly!" Aoyama suddenly shouted. Wang Yuan hurriedly ran over.
"What's wrong?"
"There's a stone here that moves. Aoyama said, pointing to a stone on the wall. The stone is only the size of a palm, and it is completely embedded in the stone wall. If you don't look closely, you can't find it at all.
"Qingshan, stand back a little, let me come!" Wang Yuan finished speaking, crossed Qingshan and stood next to the stone wall. Qingshan took a step back and stood behind Wang Yuan's right.
"Qingshan, pay attention to your surroundings, I'm going to move!"
"Good. Aoyama replied. Wang Yuantan held down the stone with his right hand, and turned it gently to the right, and the stone turned for a week, it should be the end, and it couldn't turn anymore. Wang Yuan let go of his hand and looked around, and found that there was no obvious change. He was just about to try in a different direction, when he suddenly felt as if the ground under his feet was trembling, could it be an earthquake? Wang Yuan turned around and pulled Qingshan and hurriedly lay on the ground. The earthquake lasted for a while before it stopped. Wang Yuan looked up, and sure enough, a cave that could accommodate a person appeared on the stone wall.
"Aoyama! The door is open!"
"Brother Wang, let's go in and have a look!" Aoyama said as he took out a fire fold and lit a small torch that had been prepared.
"Aoyama, give me the torch, I'll go ahead!"
"Okay, for you Brother Wang. Qingshan handed the torch to Wang Yuan, and the two walked into the secret room one after the other. After entering, there is a staircase road that goes down, and after walking a short distance, a stone cave appears when you turn left. The cave is not large, and with the light of the torches, you can see everything in the cave. I saw a stone table and a stone chair in the center of the cave. There were two brocade boxes on the table, and I don't know what was inside. On one side of the hole there was a puddle of clear water, and nothing else.
Wang Yuan didn't care about the brocade box on the table, took the torch to the edge of the puddle, and by the light of the torch, he saw that there were several white spars of different sizes at the bottom of the clear water.
"Inn, this is the cloud jellyfish!"
"Congratulations slave, this is indeed a cloud jellyfish. ”
"How much do we need at the inn?"
"Slave, a small piece is enough!"
"Qingshan, you see that the spar under the water is a cloud jellyfish. I guess the water in the pool above is flowing down through the cracks in the stones, so there will be no water up there. ”
"Brother Wang, is this water the legendary fairy water!"
"I think it should be, you bring your water hyacinth, put a gourd and go back to show the priest. And this cloud jellyfish also brought back a piece. ”
"Okay, I'll go get the gourd, Brother Wang, you can fish up the cloud jellyfish!"
"Aoyama, give you torches!"
"I don't need to, you can take it first!" Aoyama said and ran outside. Wang Yuan did not doubt him, and prepared to go down to the puddle to get the cloud jellyfish. The water in the puddle was cold and very refreshing, Wang Yuan took off his shoes and walked down the puddle barefoot, leaned over and picked up two pieces of yuan jellyfish. He put the cloud jellyfish on the ground and was about to put on his shoes. Suddenly, the mountains shook, and Wang Yuan's heart chuckled. Before he could make a move, he heard a loud bang, the stone door closed, and he was trapped in the stone cave.
"Aoyama! Aoyama... You answer me!" No matter how Wang Yuan shouted, no one answered outside!
"Brother Wang, I'm sorry for you! This ancestral cave is our Miao people, and the contents can't be taken away by you!" Qingshan looked at the sealed secret room and said leisurely. "When you die, only I will know the secrets here! At that time, I will be the king of the entire Miao people! Brother Wang, I will definitely bury you in a grand manner at that time!"
Glancing back at the stone house and making sure there were no traces, Aoyama picked up his tools and went down the mountain.
"Inn, it looks like I'm trapped! I didn't expect Aoyama to do such a thing!"
"Hehe, slave, people in this world are selfish. As the so-called Li Ling Zhi faints, if you die, he is the only one in the world who knows about this secret room!"
"Hey, I don't know if the air in this cave is not circulating, I won't suffocate to death! Forget it, let's see what's in this box first!" Wang Yuan sat on the stone chair and opened the brocade box on the table. There was an egg in a box, this egg was very big and two circles larger than a goose egg, and there were brown patterns on the egg skin, Wang Yuan looked at it for a long time and didn't see what kind of bird egg it was. Look at another box, there is a book.
Wang Yuan didn't touch the unknown bird's egg, but picked up the book and opened it with the firelight. I saw that it was written in the book: Tao is Tao, very Tao, name can be named, very famous. Nothing, the beginning of heaven and earth, and yes, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is often nothing, and I want to see its wonderful use; These two have the same name and different names, and they are the same as the mysteries, the mysteries and the mysteries, and the doors of all the wonders. ......
"Isn't this the Tao Te Ching?" Wang Yuanyi pursed his lips and continued to turn the pages back. It is also followed by the Tao Te Ching, all the way to the last page. On this page, however, there is a picture of a large tree, not tall but with a large crown, and on the top of the canopy lies a large bird, which is very detailed. It has a chicken mouth, a red head, a snake neck, and a dragon claw. "Is this a phoenix! That's right, a phoenix tree!" This tree is a plane tree!" Wang Yuan exclaimed. "Then this egg is a phoenix egg!"
"Slave, don't make a fuss! The phoenix is also called the immortal bird! It does exist. It's just that no one can say for sure if this egg is a phoenix egg, but I can feel that this egg is still alive!"
"Inn, you mean it hatches?"
"It's up to you, slave!"
"Me?"
"Yes, you can hatch it!"
"Inn, you're mistaken, I'm a human being, how can I hatch eggs! Besides, if you're trapped here, you'll die soon. It is simply impossible to hatch the eggs. ”
"Slave, who said you would die! You are my slave, if I don't let you die, you won't die!"
"Inn, you mean you can get out?"
"It's not going to work, but slave, have you forgotten how you came here? I can teleport you over, I can teleport you back! You can go back to the inn with the eggs. When I got to the inn, I hatched it again. ”
"You can really go back! You are really wonderful at the inn! Since you can go back and get me, I will go and get a few more pieces of cloud jellyfish! I am trapped here, and these things should be compensated!" Wang Yuan said as he put the book in his arms and went into the water to get the cloud jellyfish.
Wang Yuan picked up the two largest pieces under the water, and with the two pieces just now, he basically took away all the big cloud jellyfish. He took out the phoenix egg, carefully wrapped it in a cloth, and put it in his arms. The cloud jellyfish was put into the empty brocade box by him.
"Inn, I'm fine, let's go back!"
"Slave, you're already overweight with too many things, I need to charge you for transportation!
"Whatever you want, as long as you can go back alive. Inn, you can do whatever you want!"
"Haha, slave, this guest found that the inn was undercounted just now, but it was actually 1,000 taels of silver! I will automatically deduct it from the money you deposited, and now the teleportation begins!"
"Inn! you're so shameless......
