237. Apprenticeship in the stone chamber

I don't know if it was because of the interruption of the Variety Sky Fox, so that Liu Ruyan did not continue to talk about Tie Ning against Wu Zheng. The more this is the case, the more apprehensive Wu Zheng is in his heart.

When a lantern was slowly hung from the hole above his head, Wu Zheng hurriedly shrank down and dived into the muddy water that was not up to his big crotch. It's just that the lantern was lifted up again soon after it was hoisted, and listening to the movement above, Liu Ruyan not only did not try to come down, but returned to the ground.

Soon, murky water poured in again.

Obviously, when the lantern was lowered just now, Liu Ruyan saw that the water level in the space was high enough, which meant that the river water that was poured in did not lose through other outlets, thus ruling out the possibility that there were other exits in the underground secret room. So, after dispelling his doubts, he continued to pour water into it.

This is indeed the least risky approach, after all, no one can stay in the water for long.

Wu Zheng calculated in his heart that if the current rate of river water was poured in, at most two hours, not only would the space under his feet be filled, but also the secret room above the nine steps would not be spared.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Zheng decided to go back to the secret room first, read the handwriting around the stone platform, and then look for the exit.

Although the water from the river has not been lost, Wu Zheng is still sure that this space must have an independent outlet. Otherwise, where did the man who dug the chamber get in, and where did the dry bones of the self-proclaimed sword idiot come from?

If you want to see the handwriting around the stone platform, you must first restore the true qi. He raised his feet and walked two steps, and was worried that the Hundred Variety Sky Fox that was sealed in the acupoint would be drowned, so he turned around and picked her up until he put her on the top of the nine steps, and closed the two stone doors casually, and then stepped on Lingyun's footwork in the stone room and quickly recovered his true qi.

He didn't wait for Zhenqi to recover before he began to read the dense handwriting on the four walls of the stone platform, but read a paragraph to recover for a while. Gradually, Wu Zheng was stunned by the description of the sword idiot on the stone platform.

“......。 Because of his obsession with swordsmanship, the old man spent his life in swordsmanship, and until his old age, he still had no achievements. Jin Sheng's 4th year,......。 ”

In the fourth year of Jin Sheng, Wu Zheng was suddenly shocked in his heart, wasn't that more than 400 years ago? At that time, the sword idiot was already an old man of eighty or ninety years old.

“......。 Encountering Weizi Mountain, because Mu Qizhi is a person, he came to worship. Seeing the beautiful scenery and the abundant earthlines, I thought of my old age, and suddenly took up the idea of sheltering here, hoping to collect the bones here in the future. ......。 ”

Weizi Mingqi is the cousin of Emperor Xin, the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty. The founding monarch of the Song State and the inheritor of the Yin Shang Dynasty.

“......。 In the autumn and August of the sixth year of Jin Sheng, the earth collapsed, and the tomb of Weizi was destroyed. My heart was very sorry, but it was repaired by the tenants. In the east of the old cave on the Zhangyu open a new cave, the remains of the burial. ......。 ”

From this, it can be seen that the space where Wu Zheng inadvertently fell just now was the tomb rebuilt by the sword idiot for Wei Ziqi. At first, I felt that the water did not rise quickly, but it was poured into the old cave that had collapsed due to the earthquake.

“......。 When collecting his remains, he accidentally saw dozens of oracle bones, and he could see that there was a vertical and horizontal sword carved on them. After being happy, he sorted out the sword move seven. Because the sword style is sharp and elegant, a stone chamber is re-chiseled on the southwest of the new tomb of Qizhi. After concentrating on studying here for several years, he got the second sword style, and it was the nine styles, which was called the 'Lingxiao Nine Styles'. ......。 ”

Wu Zheng couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that "Lingxiao Nine Styles" actually came from the tomb of Weizi. originally had seven moves, but it evolved into nine moves after being pushed by the sword idiot. The name of "Lingxiao Nine Styles" and the mantra are all from the sword idiot's understanding of the sword moves engraved on the oracle bones.

“......。 The old man has been obsessed with swordsmanship all his life, but he didn't expect to get this exquisite sword move in his twilight years, which is really fateful and lucky. I know that I will soon be in the world, so I engrave sword moves and mantras here. It was in the spring and February of the ninth year of the Golden Sage, and the passage was closed and waiting for those who were destined. ......。 ”

Sure enough, there was another exit, but it was sealed by the sword idiot before he died, that is, on February 30 of the ninth year of Jin Sheng.

“......。 Those who are destined to enter this stone room, that is, my gatekeeper, after three bows and nine knocks, can learn this world. This sword is called Haoyue, which is the cherished thing of the teacher's life, and it is the right to be a gift to the teacher. Concentrate on cultivation, and guard the tomb for three years, collect the remains for the teacher, and be born with a sword to run rampant in the world. ”

Next was a set of unusually complicated sword moves, and if you looked at it carefully, Wu Zheng immediately understood. This should be the seven-style sword move engraved on the oracle bone obtained by the sword idiot from the tomb of Weizi Qi. Wu Zheng couldn't help but keep it in his mind.

From the tone of the sword idiot, he regarded the Ling Xiao Nine Style as a "peerless study", although the Ling Xiao Nine Style he mastered now was also a good sword move, but it did not give Wu Zheng a feeling of being a peerless master.

"Could it be that I or the Taoist people have a wrong understanding of the "Lingxiao Nine Styles" formula, or is it because the sword idiot didn't have the ability to fully explain the sword moves in his chest back then?"

"Wu Gongzi, the water has overflowed. ”

Suddenly hearing the reminder of the ever-changing sky fox outside the door, Wu Zheng remembered that he had been concentrating on restoring the true qi, reading the handwriting on the four walls of the stone platform, and he had forgotten the time.

When I opened the stone door, I saw that the river water was about to overflow the ninth step.

What to do, the sword idiot said that he would worship him as a teacher, and he would also guard his tomb for three years. It's easy to bow three times and knock nine times, but I'm afraid that I can't do anything after three years of guarding the tomb.

Wu Zheng was not a person who did not know how to weigh up, after sitting and pondering for a while, he knelt down under the stone platform, faced the bones of the sword idiot who leaned on the stone pillar above, respectfully bowed three times and bowed nine times, and said softly:

"The master is above, and the disciple Wu Zheng really can't follow the master's instructions to guard the tomb for the master here for three years, so he can only take the master's bones out and bury them in another place, and then guard the tomb for the master. ”

The original package was left in the room on the ground, and Wu Zheng had to take off his robe again and carefully put away the remains of the sword idiot on the stone platform.

Just as he came down from the stone platform and wanted to find the exit of the stone chamber, all of a sudden, the waist-thick stone pillar on which the sword idiot's bones were leaning snapped from it. Immediately, there was a faint rumbling sound from the roof of the stone chamber overhead.

It's not good, the stone chamber is going to collapse.

Wu Zheng ran to the stone gate with a brisk step, picked up the Variety Sky Fox casually, and quickly dived into the deep water that had already flooded into the stone room, and the space below was a man high.

What Wu Zhengwan didn't expect was that after only a few stones fell on the roof of the stone chamber, it was like a river bursting its embankment, and a large amount of river water poured into it in an instant, filling all the secret rooms below in an instant.

Wu Zheng, who was in the water, immediately understood that the stone chamber excavated by the master sword idiot more than 400 years ago was actually at the bottom of Weishan Lake. (To be continued.) )
