Chapter 7 Xanadu
Zhuge Muyu took Shen Canghai along the quiet path and walked all the way to the back door of Shen's house. Pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info out of the back door only to see the path under the foot is surrounded by two black mountains next to it, it is noon, the sun is the brightest time, the sun shines on the mountain is extremely dazzling, Canghai and Zhuge Muyu stand at the foot of the mountain can not see how high the mountain is at a glance. Compared to the mountain, the two of them seem very small.
Canghai was confused, and the two mountains at the back gate of Shen Mansion were said by the Fuzhong family Ding that in order to facilitate the emergency situation, everyone in Shen Mansion retreated, and pulled the position to the top of the mountain to resist the enemy's attack, which was a fortification made a long time ago, and now Liangcheng is very peaceful, and this fortification is not needed at all, so it can only be scrapped. But he did not understand the mystery of this.
Canghai asked Zhuge Muyu, "Mother, what are you bringing me here for, let's go to the refining pharmacy and refine the Phoenix Nirvana to save Brother Xiang!"
I saw Zhuge Muyu smiling slightly, not speaking, and slowly approaching the foot of the mountain next to the road. Pushing aside the weeds at the foot of the mountain and groping for a while, I saw a square box exposed in the weeds, which seemed to be connected with the mountain, and Zhuge Muyu held the box with his hand. Xiang Canghai whispered, 'Hai'er, you take two steps back first, don't speak, just watch.' β
Canghai retreated in response, and after Zhuge Muyu was sure that Canghai was safe, he pressed the switch, only to hear the roar of the mountain, and a square mountain wall fell in response, revealing a narrow path that could only allow one person to enter and exit. Zhuge Muyu walked in first, lit a torch to light the way forward, and Canghai followed after a moment of surprise.
The two of them entered the cave, and the door of the cave rose with a bang, just to block the gap tightly. The cave was pitch black, and there was nothing to see without the lighting of the torches. At the foot of the stone road is very flat to walk on, the path is still narrow, along the firelight you can see the stone wall painted with different forms of portraits is very mysterious, a few steps forward, this narrow path is a little wider. After taking a few more steps, a stone gate that looked very thick blocked the path of Zhuge Muyu and Shen Canghai.
Canghai looked dazed, he had too many questions to ask his mother, but at this time, refining Phoenix Nirvana to save Xiang Jiuchen was undoubtedly an important matter. I had no choice but to put down this heavy problem, and prepare to come here to explore the end of the matter.
Zhuge Muyu unhurriedly dragged down his pendant from his neck, this pendant was in a pentagonal shape, without too much decoration, and it was completely incompatible with the identity of the rich and rival Mrs. Shen family. I saw that she compared the pendant in her hand with the gap in the stone gate, and the gap was completely consistent with the pendant in Zhuge Muyu's hand. With a snap, the pendant was sucked into the gap in the stone gate by a mysterious force, and it became completely one! The stone gate rumbled as if it had received some order, revealing the stone path hidden behind the stone gate, but the stone gate stopped halfway through, and forcibly divided the road into two narrow paths. The road surface is engraved with the words "Door of Life and Door of Death"!
Zhuge Muyu grabbed Canghai Dao, "Hai'er follow me, don't walk around, this place is densely forested, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed!"
Canghai saw too many unexplained things today, he was very surprised, and nodded mechanically, no matter what, his mother could not and did not want to see himself hurt in the slightest. I saw Zhuge Muyu go straight into the door of death, and Canghai followed closely behind.
This path is like the path I walked when I first entered the stone gate. The road is so narrow that only one person can walk. The only difference is that there are fewer mysterious portraits on both sides of the road, and there are many more torches, which illuminates this narrow path very brightly!
The two of them didn't take a few steps but found that the floor in front of them was covered with grids, as mysterious as a chessboard. There must be a mechanism here!
Zhuge Muyu didn't plan to go any further, I saw her squatting down, groping in the corner of the wall for a while and pressing into the lowest stone brick, only to see the stone brick retracted into the stone wall, and then a wall next to Zhuge Muyu slowly slipped down, and a secret door appeared. It's another mechanism, it turns out that there will be no exit from the door of life or death, and some are just jungle-dense mechanisms!
The secret door creaked open. I saw that behind this secret door was not a dark path, nor a deadly mechanism, but an unusually large space, the walls of this space were full of torches, and the space was illuminated by torches like day, illuminating this originally dim world. Look at it but find that there are a lot of bookshelves in the east and west, which seem to be placed in a very disorderly place, through the bookshelves everywhere, you can see a huge stone pillar connected with the top of the mountain, the pillar is full of dense thin lines spread in all directions, search, the letter is crossed from the thin line, and someone went to take the letter and put it neatly into the bookshelf. It can be seen that this should be where the dark part of the Shen Mansion is located!
This kind of complex mechanism was completely beyond Canghai's imagination, and the few black-clothed people standing at the door saw Zhuge Muyu and Shen Canghai walking inside at a glance, and immediately greeted them. 'Madame, you are here!'
Zhuge Muyu nodded and said, "I'll find Mr. Zimo to discuss important matters, you guys should go!"
Zhuge Muyu and the others walked straight inside, passing through the bookshelves arranged like a labyrinth, and after walking a few steps, they saw a clear pool, and rays of sunlight were projected from the cracks on the top of the mountain, illuminating the pool of sparkling water. Flowers and plants are scattered around the pond, and a stone bridge crosses the pond. It's beautiful!
The two of them walked along the stone bridge and passed through this fairyland-like clear pool. After walking a few steps, they saw a stone house emitting white smoke, and the two of them walked in, and the strong smell of herbs was especially pungent. Through the window, you can see that there is an old man playing with all kinds of strange things in the house, as if he saw Zhuge Muyu, he immediately opened the door to greet him.
'Mr. Zimo,' Zhuge Muyu didn't wait for the old man to speak, and then he showed his intention, "I have a phoenix nirvana." I also hope that Mr. Zimo will help with refining!' After speaking, he handed the Qiankun pendant to the old man.
The old man opened his eyes wide and carefully observed the Qiankun Fall for a while, and then said in surprise, "Is this really the Phoenix Nirvana?"
Zhuge Muyu said, "I also hope that Mr. Zimo will hurry up and refine the handle, I need to use this thing to save people, time is running out." β
Mr. Zimo hugged Qiankun in his hand and said, "Okay, give me an hour, Madam and Young Master, please take it later!" After speaking, he turned his head and returned to the room to prepare for the refining work.
Shen Canghai was really at a loss for the second monk at this time, first Qingcheng sent a Taoist priest to call his mother a benefactor, and then how could there be such a fairyland on earth with the peculiarity of this mountain fortification? The stone pillars can send and receive letters? People can also live in the mountains? Canghai's heart was full of curiosity and all kinds of questions at this time.
Zhuge Muyu seemed to understand Canghai's thoughts, and said with a gentle gaze, "Hai'er, follow me everywhere, I'll explain to you the doubts in your heart!"
After walking a few steps, the two of them found that the space here was even larger, and when they looked up, there was a huge hole on the top of the mountain, and the sunlight shone directly through the hole, shining the originally dark mountain world as bright as the outside. If you want to discover this place, you can only find it from the top of the mountain! But this mountain wall is extremely steep, and no one can climb to the top of the mountain unless you are a martial arts master, which can be described as the hidden world in this mountain.
Looking down, the ground was full of flowers and trees, and among the flowers and plants there were a few stone houses, and the chimneys on the roofs were emitting white smoke, presumably preparing for lunch. There are washed clothes hanging outside the house, and a few horses in silver armor are leisurely grazing in the stable, which is very comfortable!
Canghai looked curiously like a child to the east and west. I don't want to let go of a corner, how many secrets are still unknown in this world?
Zhuge Muyu saw Shen Canghai, who was still innocent, and showed a kind smile. Gently introduced to Canghai, "Our Shen family has a history of more than 200 years, and it is inevitable that there will be many natural and man-made disasters during this period. At that time, it was just to prevent trouble, but now the world is much more peaceful than it was then, and it is a pity that this place is deserted. Your father and I trained a unit to protect our Shen family here, named the Shadow Divisionγγγγγγγ β
