Chapter 55: To the Cave of Death and Life
Many wonderful stories in the world stem from curiosity, and curiosity is one of the greatest characteristics of human nature, and Li Xuan is no exception. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He was content with the status quo and wanted to live on the two pawnshops left by his father, so he buried some enterprising spirit in his heart. Now that he has experienced a sudden change, he has experienced life and death, and his adventurous spirit has been ignited. He had previously determined that under the copper plate on the top of the cliff was the stone chamber of the cave of death and life. What's inside the stone chamber? If you can open the stone chamber, the truth will be revealed.
There are blessings and woes in the stone room?
Li Xuan naturally doesn't know everything inside, but he understands one thing very well, the price of truth is often inseparable from blood and tears, although some truths are worthless, but some truths are priceless. Inaction in the face of a choice is a sign of cowardice and an act that is despised by those who are resolute. Dare to act, make bold moves, and not be afraid of life and death, often let the truth be revealed.
In the face of the unknown, how can we retreat and be content with the status quo!
Li Xuan looked at the remaining two raised stones, and knew that pressing it was a life-and-death decision. Wei Yi groaned, and said secretly in his heart: "You can't choose to retreat...... Life can't be retreated, retreat, the most shameful...... Don't choose this stone. After thinking about it, his eyes were not closed, and he reached out and pressed it on the stone with the word "ghost". If this palm is pressed, a judgment of life and death will be made.
The stone with the word 'ghost' written on it was pressed by his hand, and with the sound of 'rumbling', the stone walls on both sides not only quickly retreated, but even the entire stone wall in front of it slowly sank into the ground. The stone wall did not fall completely, but after it fell, it opened a gap six feet wide and three feet high. In this gap, don't say that if you go into a person, even a leopard can easily jump in. Li Xuan still threw the torch into the stone wall and let it spontaneously combust for a while, and then jumped in.
The stone chamber behind the stone wall is more than three zhang high, there are more than ten zhang on the left and right, and the stone wall on three sides is a whole piece of granite stone, which seems to be dug out of the huge mountain rock, and it is really amazing. Li Xuan held the torch and looked around, and saw that the sky above the stone chamber was shaped like a cone, and a round copper plate was inlaid in the top air, and below the circular copper plate, there was a wooden coffin at the bottom of the stone wall near the front. The wooden coffin is old, jujube red, covered with dust and cobwebs, and it seems to have been quiet for thousands of years. And not far from the wooden coffin, there are skeletons that have long since decayed into white bones.
The skeleton sat cross-legged, facing the stone wall that had sunk into the ground, and in front of him lay a rusty blade that looked like a sword rather than a sword, like a knife rather than a knife. Li Xuan was even more surprised when he saw it, and said secretly: "This king's mountain cliff is full of mysterious organs, how many unknown secrets are hidden in the cliff top cliff?!" He saw that the skeleton sitting upright had a straight waist, his eyes were looking straight ahead, and his hands were tightly clasped between his abdomen, as if he knew the destiny of heaven before he died, so he could sit in place so calmly and quietly, waiting for the end of his life. A wooden coffin, a sitting skeleton, a strange-shaped blade that has never been seen before, and a cone-shaped stone chamber inlaid with round copper plates...... Is there a place in this world that is more incredible than this? Li Xuan shook his torch and vaguely saw that the wall behind the wooden coffin was densely written.
He stepped forward to look, saw the font on the wall domineering vertical and horizontal, and the stone door on the four words 'to the hole of death and life' exactly the same, his heart was very curious, close to take a closer look, saw the stone wall wrote: the world is difficult, wronged, everything has its own destiny! Alas, when I was a child, I witnessed my father die under the enemy's sword, early with hatred, swore to repay it, did not hesitate to change the name and surname, pretended to be the enemy's disciple, ten years of learning eight or nine kung fu, thought that it could be won, but it was still not the enemy, so I made up my mind, brushed my sleeves away, humiliated for several years, and studied the rivers and lakes. God has mercy on me! I know my suffering! Finally, I saw the flaws in the enemy's martial arts, and in ecstasy, I went to the door to kill more than 30 of them...... But that day, when Master Shaolin Zhiran passed by, he looked at my evil deeds, sighed very much, and earnestly persuaded me to put down the butcher's knife and feel the Buddha's light. When I saw the half-hundred-year-old servant of the enemy family and the toddler trembling, I suddenly felt compassion and thought about my life experience, why not like this!
Yu withdrew his sword and sighed, turned around and let it go. When the master saw that I could enlighten, he was full of joy and said: If you only do good deeds and do not do evil results in this life, you can be taught supreme martial arts...... Opportunities are rare, and mentors are even more difficult to find...... I have had the privilege of associating with the masters, and I have also been a mentor and a friend, and I have listened to his teachings, and I have benefited more than I can do with pen and ink...... However, heaven and earth have a long time, and people are not saints and immortals, and they cannot have a thousand years. A wisp of seven-colored auspicious clouds came from the west, lingering and falling, like a dragon and a phoenix, wrapped tightly in the master, and floated away. Woohoo, the master is gone, even in the face of the beauty of the world, how can I have nostalgia...... I heard that there is an ancient tomb of the Han family in Junwang Mountain, which was once a place to escape from the world at the gate of heaven, and it is very secret, so I gave up my love, and brought my parents to bury the remains here, and after three years of hard work, I built this cultivation place...... I rebuilt and changed the mountain cliff forest formation to avoid the troubles of the world. Ha ha...... Seal the entrance of the tomb, from the crack in the cliff to and from the cliff, although it is dangerous, but it can fulfill my wish to go alone and clean and scattered...... The feeling of running out of oil and drying up is getting stronger and stronger, but I know that heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, I know the door of blissful death, I know that life and death are separated, and I know that death may eventually be returned. The one who opens the stone gate in the other day, am I not me?
Well, if you don't want to be bullied from now on, haha, if you want to be chivalrous, happy and vengeful, and famous, you can study the stone wall graphics on both sides, and you will inevitably be used for life...... May Rou'er know my heart, bear you in this life, and repay you as a cow and horse in the next life......
Li Xuan read the half-written words on the stone wall in one breath, and looked at the final payment time, his surprise can be imagined, and he said in his heart: "If you calculate according to time, not long after the death of this senior, Long Hongye came here to jump off the cliff because of emotional injury. Hey, this time is really a coincidence! Also, this senior's tone is so big! He named this place 'Cave of Death and Life', and it is estimated that before entering the cave, he had the idea of dying here. It seems that the place that was chiseled by Liang Jiu's axe before was indeed the entrance to the cliff tomb, but it was opened by this senior and sealed again. ”
His mind moved, and he was a little excited in a daze, stood for a long time, and said secretly in his heart: "Back then, this senior came and went from the crack in the cliff to the cliff, and wasn't that the cave where Long Hongye's predecessor and I settled? Yes, that's it...... It seems that before he died, he knew that he would run out of oil and run out of lamps, so he sealed the entrance of the cave to the cliff tomb and died secretly. Well, if it weren't for the fact that I fought with the cockscomb python that day, and with the edge of the Devil May Cry Sword, I had no intention of piercing the stone wall, how would I find ............ here" Thinking so, I couldn't help but say to myself: "Who is this senior?" According to rumors in the rivers and lakes, in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Hu Shanye hero, in order to avenge his family, buried his name incognito, endured humiliation, and threw himself into the enemy's door, and it took ten years to finally avenge his father's revenge...... Looking at everything in the stone room in a daze, Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and said in his heart: "This person is definitely not Hu Shanye's hero Because of rumors in the rivers and lakes, Hu Shanye and Shi Wanrou Shi of Tibetan Sword Villa know each other and fall in love, and they have long lived a life of double accommodation and double flight...... Is it a coincidence?"
Li Xuan thought for a while, and then said in his heart: "This person has avenged his father, if it weren't for the chance to meet Master Shaolin Zhiran, he would definitely not let go of the half-hundred old servants and the toddler of the enemy's family." His conscience was not clear, and when the master saw this, he concluded that he was a man who could be created, so he was willing to pass on martial arts. Hey, but what makes people strange is that he actually gave up his beloved because of the death of Master Ran?! Could it be that the grace of knowing in his heart is greater than any kind of emotion...... Living in seclusion with the remains of his parents and dying here must contain unknown suffering...... Is he trying to escape from the world, or is he escaping from the secret in his heart...... Alas...... It seems that this senior must be a lover of personality. It's just that who is he called Rou'er in the end? Why did he bear this Rou'er......" Li Xuan saw that the stone chamber was mysterious, and suddenly he was not in a hurry to find out whether the round copper plate on the top of the stone chamber belonged to the same piece as the one he saw on the top of the cliff.
The fire flickered, and the stone walls on both sides flickered and flickered.
Li Xuan held the torch to the stone wall on both sides to look carefully, and saw that the stone wall was engraved with the first seven characters of 'Thirty-six Techniques', and the next one was densely written: This technique is derived from Sun Tzu's Thirty-six Tactics of the Art of War, and the moves are all secretly combined, and when resisting the enemy, it can be turned into a sword, a knife, a fist, any of the four methods, if the practitioner is qualified and talented, the four methods can also be mixed and interspersed, no one can beat it, although the world knows little about this technique, but it can definitely be listed as the first technique of the rivers and lakes......
He looked behind him and saw countless figures of different sizes carved into the stone walls. These figures are carved with sharp weapons, or leaping, or low, or attacking, or guarding, in a state of thousands of endless, although the pen marks are few, but extremely vivid.
Li Xuan only glanced at it a few times, and was deeply attracted, staring at it for a long time, his surprise had become shocked, and he secretly said in his heart: "Can martial arts moves be secretly compatible with the thirty-six strategies? It's really the first time I've heard of it! However, just looking at these carved line graphics, one move and one style is indeed chic and elegant, but how to integrate the moves shown in the graphics when resisting the enemy, so that it can be smooth, I am afraid it is difficult." At the end, a small line of handwriting broke into view: the purpose of the technique, the intention first, the combination of qi and style, the yin and yang of the sky, the blessing of the earth, the mind to be complete, the wisdom and courage need to be both...... The purpose of the heart is to obtain yin and yang, and it needs to pass through the heaven and earth. Among them, the yang is like the sky and the sun, and the yin is like the holy spring of the earth...... The divine merit is to be completed, its body should be like a pine and a bamboo, slow down the four hours of the sun's fierceness, absorb the yin of the cold jade of the Tianshan Mountains, yin and yang are combined into one, gather qi to come and go to a hundred veins, and you can do whatever you want, no trace can be found, and you can sway freely!
Li Xuan knew that although the 36 strategies had long been famous in the world, most of the people who were familiar with it or skilled in their use were generals who were in charge of military power and supported the army. Although he was familiar with the Thirty-six Strategies when he was young, he did not know the real gist of the Thirty-six Strategies because he disdained power tricks, so his interest in the Thirty-six Strategies on the stone wall was far less intense than the gist of the Thirty-six Strategies. He recited the purpose of the technique of striking the heart several times, pondered slightly, and said secretly: "If you look at it according to this passage, if you want to practice the moves carved on the stone wall, you must first combine the yin and yang breath in your body before you can achieve it." Isn't this similar to the Yin-Yang Combination in "The Secret of the Treasure Source"?"
He pondered to himself, and inadvertently looked up and saw six bronze mirrors hanging under the circular copper plate above the stone room. Although these bronze mirrors are covered in dust, it is not difficult to see that the material and workmanship are the same as those seen in the stone room before.
The six oblique bronze mirrors are staggered in height and low, like stars holding the moon, surrounding the round copper plate in the middle of the top of the stone chamber, reflecting a copper button as big as a fist on the round copper plate. Li Xuan secretly said: "If the position of this copper plate is calculated, the copper plate here and the copper plate in the forest should be the same piece, but can it be opened? If it can't be opened, what is the significance of this copper plate here...... Could it be that the copper button on the copper plate has a strange ......" The mind moved, and after a visual inspection, he saw that the bronze mirror was about three feet above the ground, and according to his current skills, he must not jump up.
Li Xuan thought about it carefully, had a plan in his heart, secretly took a breath, squatted slightly, flew up to the ground, hooked the lowest bronze mirror with one hand, did not wait for the strength of his body to be exhausted, took a deep breath, left foot on the stone wall a little, and suddenly jumped up again. With such a second jump, the strength will be exhausted. He let out a low shout, and at the moment when his body was in the air, the Devil May Cry Sword in his hand hit the stone wall a little, and with a 'clang' sound, he jumped up again with the strength of the stone wall's rebound. Although these few leaps were only for a moment, they were the embodiment of his recent cultivation of the Treasure Source Secrets.
He made the last leap, and although his strength was exhausted, his left hand just grasped the copper button. How dare Li Xuan relax! The Devil May Cry Sword in his right hand was stretched out, and he slammed it into the stone wall, only to hear the sound of 'ding', and the Devil May Cry Sword actually entered the stone ruler. Now that the right hand has the fulcrum of the Devil May Cry Sword inserted into the stone wall, the left hand can exert force. He clenched the copper button and rotated it to the left, the copper button did not move, and when he saw that the breath that was brought up was about to end, he tried his best to spin the copper button to the right, and heard a 'click' sound, the copper mirror sank an inch, and quickly let go of his hand and fell down. Just before Li Xuan's feet hit the ground, there was a sound of pricking in the sky above the stone chamber, and he looked up to see that the round copper plate above the stone chamber had been slowly moved to the right.
The bronze mirror was removed, the sunlight shone in, and the stone room suddenly brightened, full of hope and vitality. The bright sunlight accompanied by the fragrance of black pine shone on a bronze mirror above the ground, and instantly reflected on another copper mirror on the stone wall.
The sunlight is so reflected that it lights up like a firework, lighting up several other bronze mirrors one by one.
There is nowhere to hide anything in the sun, not even a speck of dust, a hair, a tear of pleasure, or a dark thought of the heart.
Li Xuan saw that the sunlight was shining into the hole from the hole where the bronze mirror was opened, and it was extremely bright, and he was surprised and delighted. At this time, although it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the wind was cool and the sky was light, but when he was in the hole of the cave and shot into the three-foot-thick pillar of light in the cave, he obviously felt warm and warm.
He was in a state of excitement when he heard the sudden sound of 'zaza' under his feet, and his heart was startled, and he hurriedly jumped to the side of the stone chamber. But before he could stand still, the sound of 'Zaza' had stopped. In the stone room, a round hole of about three feet was exposed where he landed. The cave seemed to be extremely cold, constantly bubbling outward, and these cold airs merged with the sunlight shining in from the roof of the room, and instantly turned into a leisurely white mist. The fog gathers more and more thickly, and after a while, it is divided into two polar wonders, one yin and one yang, if you don't distinguish carefully, it makes people think that they are in a world where water and sky meet.
Li Xuan looked at the strange scene in front of him, and was extremely shocked, but he heard a 'click' sound, and a pillar of oily jade with the same thickness as the pillar of light slowly rose from the cold round hole. The jade pillar is no more than six feet high, the whole body is brilliant, and the whole body is full of white gas, and the cold air seems to be caused by it. Why is there a strange light and stone pillar in this desolate and strange cave, could it be that this skeleton senior in the room built it? What do the strange light and stone two pillars do?
He didn't dare to move, and after a while, he saw that there was no other sound in the stone room, so he slowly leaned towards the light and the second pillar of the stone.
Li Xuan worked hard for a long time, and suddenly remembered the purpose of the technique on the stone wall: you need to get yin and yang Xuanqi, and you need to pass through the heaven and earth. Among them, the yang is like the sky and the sun, and the yin is like the holy spring of the earth...... The divine merit should be completed, its body should be like a pine like a bamboo, slow down the four hours of the sun's fierceness, absorb the yin of the cold jade of the Tianshan Mountains, yin and yang are combined into one, gather qi to come and go to a hundred veins, and the shot can be done as you like, there is no trace to be found, and you can sway freely...... Thinking of this, he secretly said in his heart: "This scene is secretly in harmony with this passage, is it to 'slow down the intensity of the sun at four o'clock, absorb the yin of the cold jade of the Tianshan Mountain, merge the yin and yang, and gather qi to come and go to the hundred veins'......?" The boulder on the top of the cliff surrounded by purple dark flowers was far away from the top of the cave, and the reason why this pillar of light was so hot must be because it gathered and reflected in. ”
He thought about it and said: "Back then, Long Hongye had to go to the boulder on the top of the cliff every noon to absorb yang energy, and at night to inhale yin qi in the cave...... It seems that this skeleton senior also understands the cultivation method of the "Treasure Source Secret Guide...... Also, Long Hongye's predecessors have been in the cave for ten years, but they don't know that there is this mystery! Alas...... If she knew, she would definitely use this to cultivate 'Yin and Yang Together, Life and Growth', so why bother to eat the poison of the Purple Dark Flower and the Red Ice Fruit to damage her body!"
Thinking of the dragon red leaves, Li Xuan sighed inexplicably in his heart, and thought: "Now that there is a strange situation in front of me, the light of the four seasons should be this pillar of light, and this jade pillar should be the cold jade of the Tianshan Mountains!
He wanted to understand this section, and looked up to the sky and muttered to himself: "This strange fate, is it a blessing or a curse?" After a while, his heart was relieved, and he couldn't help but smile at the sky, and muttered to himself: "Blessing and misfortune, misfortune and blessing? I have come back from the dead, and I have entered this 'hole of death and life', how can I still care so much about the blessing and misfortune? haha...... Let this matter of life and death come and go freely!"
