Chapter 21 Caves
After a rough calculation, Qing Jin has been in Zhongnan Mountain for more than half a month, and he has also gone down the mountain several times during this period to go to the town to buy food and drink and dry sundries, although he has not found the slightest clue so far, and he can't help but regret it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But what Qing Jin himself practiced is the top kung fu on the rivers and lakes, half of it is for martial arts, half of it is curious, and if he enters the secret room with great difficulty, and finds that the Nine Yin True Scripture has been destroyed, it will really make people cry and laugh!
One evening, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and in an instant the whole world darkened. Qing Jin knew that there was a heavy rain coming, and it was too late to go down the mountain, so these days he slept in the open and meditated on the rocks every night, so he could only quickly find a place to shelter from the rain. Qing Jin took off his luggage from the branches, remembering the cave he found a few days ago, five or six miles away from the ancient tomb, and he went in to investigate, there were some traces in it, he had carefully checked it, but he didn't find anything, and it was too far away from the ancient tomb, so it was impossible to dig the exit so far, so he didn't care about it these days!
The roaring thunder rolled dullly and lowly, and the wind howled and rattled the leaves. The sky suddenly lit up, and a thunderclap rang out in the sky, shaking people's ears and making even the mountains tremble slightly! Then lightning swept across the sky, and thunder roared one after another. The raindrops the size of beans crackled and fell!
This cave is in the middle of the mountain, along the slope of the mountain wall, you can walk along the path, there are really traces of people walking here, Qingjin is estimated to be a resting place for people who go up the mountain to hunt or collect medicine!
Qingjin climbs Chaoyang Peak every day in Huashan, and he has long been accustomed to it, and this mountain road is like walking on the ground for him. At the moment, walking like flying, a moment came to the front, the entrance of the cave was covered with moss and weeds, more than five feet high on the top of the cave, there was a large piece of green vine hanging down, covering the entrance of the cave, if it were not for the amazing eyesight of the green jin, the day could not find this clue!
Qing Jin carefully walked into the cave, such a heavy rain is really rare, the slightest carelessness, the people near Zhongnan Mountain, will suffer! This rain washed the mountain more colorful, the water droplets hit the mountain wall, endless. Fortunately, the walls of this cave are all stones, so you don't have to worry about landslides or mudslides!
In the middle of the night, the rain had stopped, and the mountains were quiet, except for the occasional chirping of unknown birds. When he was doing the exercises, his facial features were the most sensitive, and he faintly heard the sound of water droplets of "ding, ding, ding, ding", and he opened his eyes to look around, there was no leakage in the cave, and the rain outside was flowing down the mountain wall, and it would not make this sound!
Qingjin is clear and determined, and hallucinations are impossible. Puzzled in his heart, he calmed his mind at the moment, gathered his ears, and heard the sound of dripping water, drop by drop, without any confusion! As if it came out through the stone, Qing Jin slowly judged the direction of the sound, and walked towards the cave, which was four or five zhang deep, and there were some gravel in it. Qingjin took out the flint, lit the torch, and reached the end of the cave, but still did not find any dripping water. Looking at the mountain wall, I checked back and forth several times, but I couldn't find any traces of holes and mechanisms. It's just that the sound is clearly coming from the cave!
Qing Jin put his ears close to the mountain wall, listened back and forth, and finally determined that the sound was on the left side of the mountain wall at the bottom of the cave, he carefully surveyed, the mountain wall was uneven, it was naturally formed, and no traces of man-made were found! However, since there was a dripping sound inside, it must be empty! After searching for so many days without finding any clues, he suddenly had some hope, and Qing Jin was slightly excited in his heart!
In the middle of the night, it was inconvenient for Qingjin to continue his research, so he continued to sit cross-legged and breathe until dawn.
I got up in the morning, ate dry food with the stream, and practiced all the way to the "Eight Brocades" in the cave to nourish my spirit!
Qing Jin came to the mountain wall, but still couldn't find any clues. With a move in his heart, his legs squatted slightly, his hands pressed against the stone wall, Zixia Shengong was carried up with all his strength, and with a strong push, the mountain wall did not move at all. He gathered his palms, Huashan Yun's palms were used, and his palms slapped heavily on the mountain wall, and the strength was everywhere, leaving only shallow palm prints.
Qing Jin was ruthless in his heart, so he simply didn't do it, and he didn't stop doing it, and just tried it with his sword! Qingjin Zixia's true qi poured into the sword body, pierced the cloud musk moon with one move, and stabbed at the stone wall with all his strength! A piercing grinding sound sounded, and the long sword entered the stone more than half a foot. As soon as Qing Jin pulled out his long sword, a "click-click" mechanism start-up sounded, and he saw that the seemingly natural, gapless mountain wall slowly cracked a portal.
Halfway through, it stopped moving, thinking it was a long time, and the mechanism failed!
Qing Jin was extremely curious in his heart, he didn't understand why a sword stabbed out, and actually opened the mountain wall, he used his luck to push open the half-hidden stone door, it was dark inside, he lit the torch, went to the back of the stone gate to check, and couldn't help but secretly call luck!
It turns out that this mechanism is the same as the secret room mechanism of Huashan, and it is necessary to fight cattle across the mountain with the true qi of the inner family, pass through the stone gate, and touch the mechanism to open the door, but it is different from the thirteen organs in Huashan. There are eighteen mechanisms in this stone door, unless you know which mechanism is connected to the switch, if it is opened wrong, the stone door will be locked in a few days, and it will touch the built-in mechanism bell, alarming the people in it, but now it is estimated that there is no trace inside!
Qing Jin really felt lucky, the position of the two palms before was a mechanism behind the stone gate, but fortunately, Qing Jin's skills were not enough, this stone gate was more than a foot thick, and the true qi had not yet penetrated the stone door, touched the mechanism, and locked the portal. Otherwise, the next sword is the mechanism that touches the connection switch, and it can't be opened!
Qing Jin's sword is also really wonderful, originally with his skills, he can't pass through the stone gate and touch the switch. But his Zixia True Qi poured into the long sword, and with all his strength, he entered the stone gate more than half a foot. The true qi on the sword passed through the tip of the sword, and in one fell swoop through the remaining half of the stone door, and then touched the mechanism!
Qing Jin packed up a lot of miscellaneous things, including a lot of candles and a bundle of torches!
As soon as I entered the cave, I felt the cool air hit people, and I smelled a peculiar smell unique to stone stalactites. The hole has two zhang to be high, two or three zhang wide, under the torch illumination, the spar in the cave is in a thousand postures, thousands of strange and strange, vertically down, white as jade, the color is soft, showing the graceful and beautiful charm and the demeanor of the jade and ice! It is actually a natural karst cave, a thick stalactite next to the cave door still has water vapor convergence, the water drops drop on the rock one by one, make the sound of "dingding", Qingjin sighed, thanks to this stalactite, if there is no dripping sound, otherwise it will be difficult to find this place anyway.
Where is this Qing Jin wondering in his heart, and whether he is the entrance to the ancient tomb or not, if such an exquisite mechanism can be secretly set up, this place is by no means ordinary. What's more, without deep internal force, it is difficult to open the mechanism here, which shows that this place is extraordinary!
Qing Jin was careful and vigilant, walked for half an hour, the karst cave here came to the end, there was a passage dug artificially dug next to it, walked a few steps, it was a step down the steps, walked more than ten zhang, then entered a karst cave, the cave twists and turns, when wide and narrow, the cave wall is under the firelight, it seems hazy, like countless rare birds and beasts, it makes people dizzy!
At the end of the cave here, there is a stone gate again, Qing Jin secretly complained, if the door is set up behind the mechanism, how to open, this time it is lucky, Qing Jin Yun Gong pushed hard, and the stone door slowly opened. The eyes suddenly opened, as if to the fairyland, this karst cave is huge, more than ten zhang high, dozens of zhang square, there is the ear door leading to the four directions, there are seven bends and eight turns of the passage, there are thousands of stalagmites of the image, there is a clear spring flowing quietly in the cave.
More importantly, there seemed to be people here, and Qing Jin was more vigilant in his heart, and he drew his long sword, and the scabbard was slanted on his back. Holding a torch in one hand, he walked slowly forward, came to a corner of the stone wall of the cave, Qing Jin saw that there were a lot of palm prints and finger prints on the wall, and walked forward, leaving a lot of sword marks on the wall, Qing Jin's swordsmanship cultivation is not shallow, at a glance it can be seen that it is not caused by fighting, but it is left when practicing martial arts, and there are traces of candles on many rocks, but it seems that the years are not short!
After passing through a small hall like a cave, Qingjin's eyes lit up, and he took a torch to enter it, the cave is not big, but there are stone tables and stone benches, chessboards, and a set of tea sets!
Qing Jin carefully examined it, found nothing, and looked elsewhere. After a while, I found that in a karst cave, a weapon rack was placed, on which the swords, guns, swords and halberds were complete, but they were all full of rust, and Qingjin knocked it with his hand, and he knew that they were all good blades, similar to Qingjin's long sword, although it was a sharp weapon, but it was not a treasure soldier!
Fortunately, Qing Jin has an excellent memory, and he does not dare to deviate too far from the big cave, and after a while, he finds that there are many musical instruments hidden in a cave, and other Qingjin have skipped at a glance, and his eyes are fixed on a "jasper flute", and he can't help but praise "good" in his heart! This flute is green and crystalline, shining under the torch illumination, Qing Jin took it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, sighed lightly for a long time, put the flute down, I don't know if the person here is still there, if it is an ownerless thing, but it is just that, if the master here is still alive, do not tell it, but it should not be!
