Chapter 3 The Quest for Treasure
In this moonlit and hazy night, sitting on this top and watching the mountain scenery of Baiyan Mountain is also a unique taste. Look at the rolling mountains, like a real dragon with ups and downs, hovering over the infinite earth. The winding stream at the bottom of the mountain, set off by the moonlight, is like a silver belt, which makes people have infinite reverie.
The moonlight gradually set in the west, hanging on the mountain in the west, Guo Tiancheng's eyes moved with the moonlight, motionless staring at the opposite side of the southern snake out of the hole attraction. At the moment when the full moon hung on the top of the mountain, Guo Tiancheng found a silver light, passing through the camel's mouth, and shining directly on the opposite side of the southern snake out of the hole.
Guo Tiancheng hurriedly pushed the monkey and said: Monkey, look, the location of the treasure is about to appear.
Monkey Shunde Guo Tiancheng looked in a straight direction, and saw that after the moonlight was condensed by the camel's mouth, it really looked like a silver sword, and the tip of the silver sword pointed directly at the snake head of the southern snake out of the hole, but if you look closely, it is not the snake head that is being pointed at, but a place three meters next to the snake head. On closer inspection, there was nothing special about the place, except for a thicket of bushes that were more lush than the others. The monkey said: Brother Tian, there is nothing special in that place, and it is not all like this.
Guo Tiancheng looked at it for a while and said: It's different, it's hard to say now, I won't know until I see it.
When the monkey heard this, he jumped up and said, "No, Brother Tian!" Are we going down from this cliff and going to climb the cliff over there?
Guo Tiancheng said angrily: What else should I do? Is it just that?
The monkey said, "If so, it will be in vain, and now that it has come to this point, we have to go and see it." It's just that I feel a little depressed, and I followed the cliff today, hehe!
Guo Tiancheng didn't say much after hearing this, but waved his hand and shouted: "Monkey, go! After saying that, he didn't look back and found his way down the cliff by himself.
It took the two of them half a day to finally climb to the location of the snake's head, and they carefully looked for it next to the snake's head. Finally, on the left side of the snake's head, there was a 15-centimeter-wide path leading to the bushes, but because the edge of the path was overgrown with weeds, it was impossible to find the path from other angles. The two of them slowly moved along the path, leaning against the rock wall to the bushes, both of them moved carefully, after all, there was a cliff more than 100 meters high under their feet, and they couldn't be careful.
They approached the bushes, only to realize that there was not only a two-square-meter platform behind the bushes, but they both jumped on the platform. When I arrived at the platform, I found that in this position, the bushes in front of me are really the best natural barrier, and when you look out from this position, the scene outside is clear, but if you want to look here from the outside, you can't find here.
When they ascended to the platform, they saw a half-man-high hole on the other side of the rock wall, and they looked down at the hole and looked at each other again. The monkey asked: Brother Tian, there is a hole here, I can't get in, look at the entrance of this hole, I feel that this hole is very deep, I don't know what is in it?
Guo Tiancheng looked at the entrance of the cave, stretched out his hand to the edge of the hole, only to feel a gust of cold wind blowing out, and suddenly there was a deep feeling of gloom. He swallowed his saliva, calmed down, and said: What are you talking about, are we still retreating at this time? We have all arrived at the entrance of the cave, and we have to go in and see if we say anything, and if we don't enter the tiger's den, we will get a tiger, let's go! After speaking, he took out a flashlight from his pocket, turned on the flashlight, and bent down into the hole.
The monkey watched him get into the hole, smiled helplessly, and also took out a flashlight and said while getting in: Brother Tian, don't go so fast, wait for me, I'll come!
The two of them drilled back and forth in the cave with seven turns and eight turns, and walked like this, about half an hour, and did not reach the end, then the monkey couldn't help but ask: Brother Tian, why is this cave so long, we have been walking for more than half an hour, and we have not yet left the cave, how long do we have to walk, will we be lost?
At this time, Guo Tiancheng was also a little impatient, and replied in an irritable tone: Don't make any noise, I'm also annoyed, I've walked such a long way, and it's estimated that I'm almost there, besides, what are you afraid of getting lost, isn't there only such a way when we come in? What are you afraid of getting lost, follow it well.
As soon as the monkey heard the tone of his voice, he knew that he was a little irritable, so he didn't dare to gnaw anymore, so he had to silently follow Guo Tiancheng and walk around.
Suddenly, a glimmer of light came out of the tunnel ahead. Guo Tiancheng looked at it, showed an excited look, and shouted in a happy tone: Monkey, look, there is a trace of light coming out in front, it is estimated that the front is about to exit, let's step up a few steps. As he spoke, he quickened his pace and walked forward.
When the monkey heard this, he was also happy, and his steps unconsciously sped up, and he followed closely behind Guo Tiancheng.
Soon the two of them walked out of the cave, and then appeared in front of them a huge cave, the cave was full of soft light, and they looked around, and saw that the roof of the cave hung all kinds of stalactites, all kinds of shapes, and the soft light emanated from the stalactites. But they searched everywhere but found no treasure, and when they were disappointed. Guo Tiancheng suddenly found that there was a hole in the wall of the cave on his left, and there was such a couplet at the entrance of the cave, which read: It is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, black, black, white and white, and the horizontal batch on it is: right and wrong black and white
Inside the cave, an old man with white hair and a long beard sat on a futon and meditated, looking at his clothes, like an ancient person. Guo Tiancheng walked forward with a curious heart and looked carefully. Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes, and a pair of sharp eyes kept staring at Guo Tiancheng, Guo Tiancheng's heart was hairy when he was stared at by this old man. At this time, the old man spoke, and he said: You are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time.
Guo Tiancheng was puzzled and asked: I've been waiting for me for a long time, what does this mean? Do you know that I'm coming? Who are you? How do you know I'm coming? Do you have anything to do with me?
The old man looked at him with a smile, but did not speak, but turned to the monkey beside him and said, "Monkey, you have done a good job in this matter, I didn't expect you to help me attract him so quickly, yes, yes! Did you help him and guide him in the process of finding this place?"
The monkey on the side hurriedly replied: Qi Qi Dharma Protector, the disciple did not instruct him, and when the Dharma Protector gave the ancient book to the disciple, he did not tell the disciple the location, so the disciple did not know this place at all, so there was no way to guide him! The ability to come here was completely realized and found out by Brother Tian himself.
After listening to the monkey's words, the white-haired old man kept nodding his head and said, "Well, it's good!"
Guo Tiancheng listened to the conversation between the old man and the monkey on the side, felt that the second monk was at a loss, looked at the two of them and asked suspiciously: Monkey, you know him, what are you two doing? Are you acting in a costume drama? He is a disciple and a protector of the Dharma, what the hell is going on?
The monkey said: Brother Tian, this is not acting, this is true, I am a disciple of the martial arts white way, and my mission this time is to help the Dharma protector bring you here.
Guo Tiancheng was even more puzzled after hearing this, and he asked: What martial arts white way? What led me here? What are you going to do when you lead me here?
The monkey looked at his puzzled expression, and said with a smile: Brother Tian, haven't you read martial arts novels me, this martial arts white way of mine is the white way of the white road and the black way in the martial arts novel!
After Guo Tiancheng listened to the monkey's words, his mouth opened even wider, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and say: Wulin, Bai Dao, are you kidding? This is the 21st century, does this thing still exist? Could it be that the things in martial arts novels really happen around me?
I saw the white-haired old man smile and said: Don't be surprised, in fact, martial arts have always existed, but with the development of society, martial arts have been hidden more secretive, and martial arts have not disappeared for thousands of years? It's just that in today's society, people who are not in martial arts don't know that there is still martial arts.
Guo Tiancheng suddenly realized and said: So that's the case, then what are you doing as the protector of the martial arts white way? What is the matter with coming to me? Could it be that you are asking me to join the gang?
The white-haired old man replied with a smile: "Am I the protector of the White Dao? I am the protector of the White Dao of the martial arts! I came to you to pull you in."
It turned out that this white-haired old man was called Wu Xiude, and he was a protector jointly recommended by the five major leaders when the martial arts Baidao was established, although he was less than twenty years old at the time, but because his martial arts cultivation was higher than that of the elders of the same period, he was recommended as a protector, and he was also the only protector in the Wulin Baidao, and his influence was above the five leaders. When he was a hundred years old, he found such a cave in Baiyan Mountain and cultivated it, and he didn't ask about the White Dao, so for nearly a hundred years, no one in the White Dao had seen this White Dao Protector. But this time, when the five leaders opened the treasure box, and after reading the treasure box, they were about to find the heir, and this Dharma protector came unexpectedly. He told the five leaders that he had examined a person who was more suitable for practicing the Heavenly Sounds Technique, so he proposed the Heavenly Sounds Technique, and at the same time instructed the five major leaders to let them each find a successor and come to the White Dao Holy Land to cultivate.
Because he is by far the highest ranking in the White Dao, and everyone is also worried about who will find the heir of the Heavenly Sound Quanshu has not been found, it is best to have an old man like him to help, so they all thanked Wu Xiude. So Wu Xiude began to prepare, and only then did he have today's scene.
Guo Tiancheng said after understanding this: Oh, so that's the case, you brought me here to let me be your apprentice!
Wu Xiude said: Yes, I just want you to be my apprentice, so that you can also learn excellent martial arts, and when the time comes, it will be easy for you to do anything, how about being my apprentice?
Guo Tiancheng did not answer him immediately, but asked rhetorically: If you say so, wouldn't your current age be one or two hundred years old, is it a credit that you can live for so long?
Wu Xiude replied with a smile: Can I live until now, in the final analysis, it is the magic of martial arts. As for whether the practice is hard or not, it depends on the individual's feelings. Do you want you to practice martial arts, in fact, after you practice, you will help us Baidao get through this crisis, so if you practice martial arts, the burden on your shoulders is still very heavy, you have to think about it.
Guo Tiancheng said excitedly after listening: Don't think about it, I practice, I didn't expect that I could encounter such exciting things, I don't want to miss such fun things, let's say, when will we start practicing.
Wu Xiude said with a smile: Don't worry, don't worry, if you want to practice, we also have to practice in another place, let me arrange some time with the monkey first, and then we will go together. Then he turned to the monkey and said: Monkey, you can go back first, and after you go back, you have to inquire more about the movements of the underworld, and there is that this matter must be kept secret, and don't say it casually.
The monkey replied respectfully: It's the Dharma protector, the disciple understands!!
Guo Tiancheng said to the monkey: After the monkey goes back, take care of the brothers, and take care of my home.
The monkey smiled and said: Knowing Brother Tian, you can rest assured, I will go first. Then he said to Wu Xiude: The disciple will go first!
Wu Xiude said: Go ahead.
The monkey turned and walked towards the cave, and quickly disappeared.
At this time, Wu Xiude said: It's time for us to set off too.
