Chapter One Hundred and Nine: Exploring the Water Cave Encounters Several Dangers, Two Protectors, and Several Enemies-
Receiving Bai Hubin's instructions, hundreds of Qianzuru's disciples acted quickly, and it only took a stick of incense to lift the huge Zhenshan stone. The big tent of the Chinese army has long ceased to exist, but a deep hole is indeed in the place where the Zhenshan stone fell.
Bai Hubin looked at Qinglongya and said, "You are on top, and I will take people down." ”
Qinglongya said: "No need, you and I will go together, we have already explored the surroundings just now, but we don't know what is below, so let's go down together to be insured." ”
Bai Hubin nodded, so the two of them led a dozen or so Thousand Crane Sectists who were good at martial arts to go down to the cave-
Inside this secret passage is a stone staircase. It was only a few decades and no one entered, so the staircase was preserved. Qinglongya and Bai Hubin held torches and walked in the front. I saw that this cave was supposed to be used to store important items, so after some careful repair, the cave wall is very smooth. After walking forty or fifty steps, the entrance of the cave suddenly opened up, and there was a different world inside. It turned out that this was a natural space, and at that time, I probably wanted to dig a deep cellar, but I dug this underground space, so I built the already dug cellar into a stone staircase corridor.
Qinglongya raised the torch and saw that the top of her head was covered with huge stalagmites. There are still water droplets dripping from the stalagmites, and the whole cave is damp and gloomy.
Bai Hubin listened attentively and said, "There is the sound of water inside, there should be an underground river." ”
Qinglong Ya said: "The real person has long expected this to be the case, so they have prepared a raft. ”
Sure enough, after another stick of incense, the entrance of the cave narrowed abruptly, and a thin stream passed in front of it, flowing through the narrow hole and into it.
Bai Hubin frowned and said, "This cave is so narrow, we can cross it on a raft in a row, but if that compass is huge, how can we transport it?"
Qinglong Ya said: "If it was so easy, this compass would have been obtained by the royal family who captured the city." I was thinking that when the royal family defeated the rebels and captured this city, they had already surveyed this place. I guess they knocked down the rock, so that the entrance to the cave would not be re-entered. ”
Bai Hubin said: "If this is the case, we must be more careful, who knows if the royal family will station people around here." So he ordered a man to return the way he came, first, to inform the people outside to be on guard, and second, to bring in a few rafts.
After a while, the disciples came in with a raft, and Bai Hubin and Qinglongya took the raft and continued to explore along the entrance of the cave.
The water path in this cave is exactly the width of a raft and the height of one and a half people, so they take the raft forward, although the cave is narrow, but they do not find it difficult to travel.
Qinglongya raised the torch and illuminated the stalactites above her head. I saw that these stalactites have different shapes, some of them are like arhats, with their eyes closed, some of them are like geckos, attached to the stone wall, and some of them are like trees, which are intricately intertwined. Qinglongya became curious, and tapped the stalactites around her with her fingers, and found that it seemed to be empty inside, making a crisp sound under her tapping.
In the dark cave, the sense of time is blurred, and I don't know how far I have gone, and the entrance of the cave is open again. Bai Hubin said: "Could this be the place we are looking for?"
So a few believers flew off the raft and lit more than a dozen torches to survey the surroundings while fixing the raft.
Qinglongya saw that the stream continued to flow forward, and said, "I'll take a few people and continue to move forward, you guys are here first." ”
Bai Hubin nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
So Qinglongya took three disciples, took a raft, and continued to move forward.
Following the current, the surrounding scenery was similar to the previous one, and after a while, the flow of the stream slowed down, and an underground lake was formed here. Qinglong Ya ordered people to drive the raft and walked along the edge of the lake, and found that the lake was not large, surrounded by stalactites, and there was no path in front of it to move forward, and it seemed that it was at the end of the cave. If there had been no water path for this water flowing here, it would have been full of water.
A water-based believer said, "There must be an undercurrent down here, and the water flows away from below." ”
Qinglong Ya just wanted him to go down to explore the underground undercurrent, when he suddenly heard a burst of shouts and killings from the place where Bai Hubin got off the boat just now. Qinglong Ya was shocked and secretly thought: We have encountered an ambush?-
Bai Hubin led the people to disembark halfway, and in this empty clearing, it was easy to find the target they were looking for.
If it weren't for the previous understanding, Bai Hubin really couldn't believe that the huge, millstone-like stone in front of him was what they were looking for, the key treasure of the Qiankun Dao Array, the Zhenyuan Demon Disk.
The Zhenyuan Demon Disk is like a stone mill, but it is very huge. Bai Hubin weighed it, and it would take about ten people to surround it to keep the Zhenyuan Demon Disk. He looked at the thickness of the magic disk, which was about three feet thick. No wonder this thing is here. I think the royal family should have explored this place at the beginning. If they didn't know what this magic disk was for, and they couldn't transport it, they would leave the Zhenyuan magic disk here. Of course, the royal family must be skeptical as to why there is such a strange thing here. For this reason, they pushed the Zhenshan stone outside and covered the hole.
This also made it difficult for Bai Hubin. The royal family was stationed here at that time, and after breaking the rebel army defending the city, they couldn't transport the Zhenyuan Demon Disk out, so how could they take this Demon Disk away?
He ordered everyone present to gather around the magic disk and work together to see if they could lift the magic disk. Unexpectedly, the magic disk was lighter than they expected, although it took five or six martial arts masters to work together to lift it, but this was already much lighter than Bai Hubin expected.
It is possible to carry the magic disk, but how to transport the magic disk from the hole where it can only pass through a raft is the biggest difficulty. You must know that Bai Hubin and the raft they came in couldn't stand side by side, so you can imagine how narrow this hole is. The royal family must have tried, but there is nothing to be done, Bai Hubin thought. While he sent a disciple outside and called some more people to come, he flew up to the Zhenyuan Magic Disk with a torch in his hand, wanting to take a closer look at the Magic Disk.
For more than a decade or more, in this humid environment, the surface of the magic disk has been covered with a layer of moss. Bai Hubin wiped it with his hands, rubbing off the moss, and the magic disk leaked out the patterns inside. Bai Hubin beckoned, asked everyone to come up together, and first rubbed off a layer of moss on it, revealing the true body of the magic disk.
After a while, the moss on the magic disk was wiped clean, revealing the complicated lines underneath. But before Bai Hubin could carefully study these lines, the magic disk suddenly began to rotate in two layers. Bai Hubin and everyone were so shocked that they hurriedly took a step back.
I saw that the magic disk began to rotate, and the upper layer started from the middle, and shot out a strong golden light directly upward, illuminating the entire stone cave at once. Bai Hubin raised his head, and only by this light did he see the whole picture of this stone cave. I saw that this stone cave seemed to be a huge dome buckled on the ground, and it was densely covered with stalactites of various shapes, which were gilded with a layer of golden light and shadow under the illumination of golden light. At this time, the gap between the two layers of rotation above and below the magic disk shot out circles of pink-purple light. The pinkish-purple light gradually lifted up, and began to revolve around the golden light that had rushed straight to the dome before. The glow of the golden light that shot out before became more and more grand, like a firecracker ready to explode. Finally, this golden light could not be suppressed, and suddenly burst out of countless rays of light, and a group of people walked out of the light.
