The fire flickered and flickered, Li Xuanzai carefully inspected the smooth stone wall, and saw that the stone wall in the cave was full of gorgeous and spectacular landscapes, people, birds and beasts painted with cinnabar. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info know that cinnabar is extremely rare since ancient times, and it is as difficult as gold to collect, because it is extremely precious, if it is not for the princely generals, it is impossible for anyone to dispose of it at will, let alone use it so luxuriously in the tomb.

Could it be an old cliff tomb?

Li Xuan said secretly: "The Changwen Cliff Tomb began in the Warring States Period, flourished in the Western and Eastern Han Dynasty, and was the place where the princes and nobles were buried after their deaths. Most of its tombs are made of artificial cliff holes, and there are also natural caves and artificial chiseling, but because its construction is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the project is extremely large, and it is extremely difficult to complete, so all the people buried in the cliff tomb are not the princes and generals who dominate one side, and they are the rich businessmen who are very valuable in the world. As he was thinking about it, he felt the firelight of the torch in his hand jump, and the patterns of landscapes, people, birds and beasts on the stone wall seemed to come alive, as if the firelight slowly walked towards him with the shaking firelight. He was taken aback, and wanted to pull his legs and walk back, but involuntarily took a few steps back, and in a trance, there was a few 'clicks' under his feet. Could it be that he stepped on the news of the organ? Li Xuan was so frightened that he jumped into the air without thinking about it.

This leap was too strong, and with a 'bang', it hit the top of the stone hall and fell down.

Li Xuan was a little flustered, picked up the torch and still wanted to flee, but saw the stone wall with a wonderful landscape rumbling in front of him. In an instant, a door opened.

Behind the door is a cave that is not very spacious. The cave is very dry, and the naturally scattered stone stalactites and the accumulated dry moss and dust intersect, giving people a sense of desolation and eternity. To Li Xuan's surprise, there was a polished and smooth stone wall in front of the cave, on which were written the three big words 'Extreme Heavenly Gate'. Jitianmen, is this the name of the sect, or is it the name of this stone cave?

Li Xuan turned around in the cave, and saw that there were not only paths before and after the cave, but also several stone chambers on both sides of the path. It is said that most of the cliff tombs were built in Wuyi, Sichuan and Zhejiang, but how can there be such a place? Who is the person who is buried in this cliff tomb?"

As he was pondering, he saw that the torch was about to be extinguished, so he turned back, and went to the mouth of the cliff to break a few pine branches, and cut the python skin that he had peeled off before, and wrapped it around the pine branches, so that the torch would burn brighter, and the time would be much longer.

After entering the cave again, he took a closer look at the stone chambers one by one.

Li Xuan saw that most of the other tombs were some strange pottery and bones, pearls and jade, coral jade and the like that he had never seen. Although he ran a pawnshop, he had never had much interest in it, and after a hurry, he found a secret door in the inner wall of the backrooms.

The discovery made him excited.

Li Xuan pushed open the secret door with all his might, and saw that there was a naturally huge cave behind the door. At the end of the cave is a stone wall with a huge stone platform under it. The stone platform is not very high, but it is very wide. He took a closer look and found that there were two huge stone doors behind the stone platform, and the words 'To the Cave of Death and Life' were engraved on the stone doors. This made him even more curious, and he secretly said in his heart: "There was an Extreme Heaven Gate before, and now there is a Cave of Death and Life, are the two related or independent?"

Li Xuan saw that the four words "to the hole of death and life" were as big as wheels, into the stone, or engraved by sharp weapons, the font gold hook iron painting, full of tension, and thought in his heart: "This trace is implied domineering, very rare!" Although in terms of calligraphy, the structure of these four characters has not reached the best, but one by one, it is like a general who proudly wields a sword and dances to command thousands of troops and horses, charges bloodily, and has fought for many years.

He looked at the two giant stone doors, couldn't help jumping on the stone platform and tried to push it, seeing that the stone door did not move at all, he said in his heart: "Can't I even push the two stone doors open......" The arrogance came up, and he was angry and dantian, and he pushed the stone door violently with enough internal force, but the two stone doors seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and they still didn't move. Li Xuan couldn't help it, so he had to give up.

What will be behind the door? Because he couldn't open the stone door, he knew that all curiosity was in vain, and said secretly: "Since this is a cliff tomb, why only have the jewelry and jade accompanying the burial, but I have never seen the coffin of the tomb owner...... Is it behind the stone gate, or has it been removed?"

Li Xuanqing lit the torch and looked around the stone gate, and saw that although the stone room was very neatly chiseled, there was no mural painted with cinnabar, and he was even more puzzled, and said secretly: "This stone room is deep in the mountain, I don't know where it is, it is estimated that it should be in the depths of the mountain." After getting off the stone platform, he took a few steps forward with the torch, because the light of the torch was not very bright, he had to be careful at all times, and did not dare to be careless.

The sudden sight of a human figure in the dark tomb will inevitably frighten anyone.

Li Xuan was startled, calmed down a little, and said loudly in an inexplicable panic, "Senior Li Xuan, from Taiyuan, Shanxi, has no intention of offending here, if you offend, please ......forgive the seniors" The voice was muffled into the distance, and it echoed again for a while, buzzing and circling until it slowly disappeared. He waited for a while, but saw the figure standing opposite him, neither moving nor answering. He shook the Devil May Cry Sword in his hand again, his courage was a little stronger, he slowly took a few steps forward, and said loudly: "If Your Excellency doesn't say anything again, don't blame the juniors who have come forward to disturb ......" After waiting for a while, he still didn't see the other party answering, so he held the sword in his hand and cautiously leaned forward. When he got closer, Li Xuan couldn't help but be surprised and amused, it turned out that the figures he saw standing were actually several skeletons that were sitting, lying or standing, still maintaining their pre-death postures.

He raised the fire and looked closely, and saw that several skeletons were very hideous, although the facial muscles were rotten, the hair and hair towel had not yet fallen off, which made people look at it and couldn't help but be afraid. He shouted at a few skeletons for a long time, and he felt funny in fear. He thought about it for a while, and then he had a question in his heart: "Since this is an ancient tomb, there are a few skeletons that should be, but these weird skeletons are sitting, lying or standing, and they obviously had a fight before they died, are they despicable tomb robbers...... It doesn't look like it, but why they died here? Oh, how did they get here?"

Li Xuan wandered in the stone room, and said in his heart: "Is there a secret path here that you can get out?" Just thinking about it, he really saw a hidden passage hidden on the right side of the entrance to the stone room. This crossing is one foot wide and two feet high, not only cramped, but also extremely obvious on both sides. This was apparently carved out by someone with a mountain-opening axe and chisel tool.

Seeing this crossing, Li Xuan didn't care about a few skeletons, and hurriedly stepped forward, approached the crossing, and stretched the torch into it first, and immediately felt that there was wind blowing out of the crossing. Although the wind was not very strong, it blew the torches and shook their heads.

If there is a wind flowing, it will be smooth. Could it be that this passage is the way to the outside?

Li Xuan was overjoyed and couldn't help but cheer: "It seems that those skeletons entered here through this axe-chiseled passage." He immediately drew his sword in his hand, leaned down, and slowly crawled along the crossing. The passage is narrow, but it is unusually strong, which shows that the excavators were very experienced, and in order to make the passage strong, the gaps in the rocks in the passage were also filled with anti-collapse rubble. Li Xuan thought secretly: "Why did they go to such great lengths to dig out this small passage in order to enter here...... It's not just to steal the treasures in the tomb......" He shrank forward and climbed more than ten feet, and suddenly heard the faint sound of water in front of the passage, and did not hesitate at the moment, and crawled forward hurriedly. The sound of the water is not only getting closer and closer, but also the flickering of sparkling light and shadow. Li Xuan didn't stop until he got out of the passage and was able to stand up, only to find that there was a natural cave at the end of the passage, and the sound of water flowing was coming from the underground river in front of him.

There are many huge mountains in the world, and there will be water inside. After a few heavy rains, a lot of rainwater that has not had time to flow away will seep into the mountain, staggering undercurrents along the cracks in the rocks, and then flowing out through a crack in the mountain, and finally forming some spectacular and beautiful mountain waterfalls.

Li Xuan looked around in front of him, and saw that there were several giant axes and hammer and chisel tools scattered on the ground, all rusty, and said in his heart: "This should be what the gang of thieves used to dig the passage back then, right?" and saw the undercurrent in front of him gurgling, flowing to the end of the cave and then disappearing into the gap of several boulders.

He understood the truth of the underground river, so it was not surprising why there was a river in the mountain. But what surprised him was a bronze mirror hanging about a foot or so above the undercurrent. The bronze mirror was obliquely tilted forward, at a strange angle, as if it was designed to reflect light and shadow from another place. Did this bronze mirror be needed for the light in the cave? He extinguished the torch, and with great courage, he followed the undercurrent, explored the way with his sword, and walked against the water. At this time, because of his small internal strength, excellent eyesight, and the floodlight of the bronze mirror, it is not difficult to walk forward. I don't know how long I walked in the high or low cave, along the way, there were copper mirrors connected to reflect, and some copper mirrors fell into the water due to rust and decay over time, and sighed in my heart: "This gang of thieves does not seem to be stupid, they have taken such great pains to install copper mirrors in the cave, not only to make the cave bright and convenient for themselves to steal, but also to be afraid that the torch will produce smoke when it burns, and smoke themselves." ”

Li Xuan walked forward, feeling that the ground under his feet was getting higher and higher, and he seemed to be walking towards a high place. Turning a huge rock, he saw water gushing out from three or five rock cracks, and on one side of the water, there was a crossing, and there were layers of stone steps extending upwards at the crossing.

He was secretly surprised, flashed through the current, climbed the stairs, turned left and right, and walked up about seventy or eighty stone steps, and entered a crypt. The crypt was about five or six feet high, seven or eight feet square in length and width, and was made of rough granite on all sides. Li Xuanyou looked at it and felt extremely familiar, and when he saw that there was a hole in front of the crypt, the same height as the crypt, and the width and narrowness could only accommodate one person to pass through, he couldn't help but be stunned, and almost shouted out in surprise. It turned out that this crypt was not somewhere else, it was the crypt that he and Duan Xiaotian fell into that day in order to avoid Xie Muqing and others, rolled into the confession of the earth temple.

Li Xuan was stunned for a long time, knowing that although he was dead but alive, he could return to the top of the cliff, under the ecstasy, his heart was as calm as water, and he said in his heart: "The world is chaotic, the rivers and lakes are sinister, and some people have always wanted to find a place outside the world and live quietly in seclusion...... Ha ha...... Isn't this the place that many people have been looking forward to? Now, I stumbled upon it. If we continue to settle down here, I am afraid that in another hundred years, no one will know.

He was thinking wildly, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he thought secretly: "This black pine mountain forest is arranged with the Five Elements Bagua Formation, the rules of heaven and earth, yin and yang, and it is full of mysteries. That day, Yan Invincible lured out the cave of the cockscomb python is the 'eye of the earth' in this mountain and forest, that ...... Isn't this the 'human eye' of the entire mountain and forest chaos here......"

Li Xuan pondered for a long time, and said in his heart: "I remember that Mr. Tianji's old man Sha once said that the 'human eye' of the chaotic array is the eye that transmits signals for the Five Elements Bagua Array and communicates with each other. If the people in the formation are trapped by the enemy, the human eye can be used for escape. The crypt here, placed on the side of the earth temple, can gather popularity because of the pilgrims, and the uphill path of the square in front of the temple is very secretive, and it can be used to break through in an eager...... From this point of view, this is indeed the human eye of the five elements of the entire Black Pine Mountain Forest. Thinking about this, there were still many mysteries in his mind that were difficult to explain.

Thinking about it, he involuntarily walked back down the stone steps.

Li Xuan had an excellent memory, and after a while, he followed the road back to the cave where the undercurrent disappeared, looked up, and saw that he had arrived here, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said secretly: "Why am I reluctant to leave here? It seems that I am unwilling to leave here without solving the mystery in my heart." After staying in place for a while, Li Xuan crawled back to the stone chamber through the narrow passage, looked at the skeletons in front of him, and couldn't help muttering: "Since they entered the cliff tomb stone chamber from here, why didn't they take those treasures away? Now, those jewels and jade are placed in the cliff tomb chamber unscathed, which is really strange! But if they don't go to great lengths to cut and dig for the sake of jewels and jade? It seems that these skeletons must have a secret. ”

Since he found out the way out, he knew that he could leave the cliff cave at any time, and he no longer had to worry about being trapped in the cliff cave.
