There was a once-in-a-century flood in Wucheng this summer, and the reason was that a white dragon "made trouble". Later, the Wind Gentleman fought the white dragon with black Ruyi in Liqiao Wei, and finally locked the white dragon back to the Qianlong Yuan to solve the flood. According to experience, there are often major droughts in summer floods and late autumns. This autumn there was a great drought in Wucheng, and many small rivers have been intermittently exposed. The water level of the Jushui River has also receded a lot, and I have never seen the riverbed exposed so much, and even at the foot of that hill there is a dry river beach, one foot deep and one foot shallow, you can walk through.

Let's call this hill Yongsan. On this side of Yongsan is a steep mountain wall, like a wall, more than ten meters high. This side of the mountain wall faces the river, and the grass is not grown, and the texture is also very strange, not stone and soil. It is ochre-red in color, feels much harder than earth, but does not look like stone to the touch, like red ceramics fired into a semi-condensed state. I stood under this ochre-colored mountain wall and looked at the other side, but there was nothing. Turning around and preparing to go back, the Qing Ying Mirror in his arms trembled slightly.

I was stunned, although the Qing Ying Mirror is a magic weapon, but if you don't take the initiative to control it, it won't move on its own. I thought it was an illusion, so I stood back in the position I had just now, turned around and made the same movement, and sure enough, the Qing Ying Mirror trembled a little. Now I think it's even more strange, I repeatedly walked around under this stone wall, doing all kinds of actions to experiment, only now in one position, under the green mirror will react, that is, in the middle of the ochre-red mountain wall.

According to the position I am standing in now, it is impossible for anyone to come in normal times, because according to the usual water level of the water river, this place has long been roofed. Is there anything strange about this mountain wall? I turned to look at this mountain wall and pulled out the Blue Mirror. In the eyes of ordinary people, the Qingying Mirror is just a bronze with green embroidery, but in my eyes it is a very clear mirror. The mirror of the Qingying Mirror was very clear, and I saw my face in it, and I also saw the trees on the embankment on the other side of the Jushui River. Nothing is out of the ordinary!

No, I look in the mirror at the mountain wall, and what I see is the other side, and if you want to look at the mountain wall, you should turn around. I turned to face the mountain wall and held up the Blue Mirror. I just glanced at the mirror and almost didn't fall to the ground. I wouldn't be so surprised if I saw any demons and monsters, but what I saw was the Dragon Tower!

My mirror is a little low, and the mirror side is facing diagonally, and I am facing the direction of the dragon tower, and it is not surprising to see the tower in the mirror. But don't forget, I'm standing at the foot of the mountain wall, the tower is blocked by the mountain! And the tower I saw in the mirror was actually hanging in the air, and there was nothing under the base of the tower! Suddenly I saw a tower hanging in the air, and no one would be surprised!

I hurriedly turned back, the mountain was still a mountain or water, and I couldn't see the dragon tower on the top of the mountain in sight. I turned to look in the mirror again, and this time the mirror was straightened, facing the mountain wall behind me, but the scene I saw made me stunned again—there was no such mountain wall in the mirror, not even this mountain! There was an upward staircase behind me, which was white and neat, as if it were made of white marble, not too long, and went up to a flat ground not far away. Look at the height of this flat land, it has been out of the water surface when the water level of the water river is the highest.

When I turned around, there were no white marble steps? It was clearly an ochre-red mountain wall! I had the illusion that this mountain wall was an illusion, and it looked like it was there, but in fact it was not. I couldn't help but reach out and touch the mountain wall, it was real, the mountain wall was cold, hard, and a little damp. At this time, I had forgotten that the school had already started class, and I stood on the beach of the Jushui River and carefully studied the vision in the Qingying Mirror.

Is this an illusion? The Wind Gentleman said that the Qingying Mirror can create illusions and also illuminate the real scene, but the most mysterious place is between the real scene and the illusion. There is a mountain at the water's edge, but there is no mountain in the mirror. In the mirror, there is no mountain in the sky, but the tower hangs alone, and a section of white marble steps appears in the place of the ochre mountain wall. A thought popped into me: Can I make it this way?

I just stretched out my hand and tried this piece of mountain wall, the mountain is the mountain, even if I can break the wall, it is impossible to drill into the mountain, although I am a cultivator, but after all, I am not the legendary Tuxingsun. But there must be something wrong with this mountain! Another way to try is that people can't get in, and the yin god may be able to travel. So, I found a relatively dry place and sat cross-legged in the meditation, and the bardo god traveled out of my body and flew towards the mountain wall where the steps appeared in the mirror just now.

Strange things have happened again, this mountain wall is difficult for the Yin God to approach! Not only this mountain wall, the entire mountain is invisible, but my Yin God can't get close at all! When I encounter a place, the Yin God is difficult to approach, and this is the third time. The first time was Qiyun Temple, the second time was the military camp in Zhongnan Mountain, and the third time was this strange hill.

When the yin god returned to its place, I stood up again. I walked to this mountain wall and studied it carefully, and the tentacles were still a real existence of the mountain wall. After thinking about it, he suddenly raised the Qingying Mirror and pressed it forward to the position where the steps appeared just now. Heterogeneous birth!

When the mirror surface of the Green Mirror touched the mountain wall, it felt like a soft mass. Immediately after that, a circle of white light appeared around the mirror, and this white aura expanded, and in the middle of the mountain wall, the shape of a crescent moon portal appeared. Outside the halo is still a mountain wall, but inside the halo there is a hollow portal, and a white marble step appears in front of you.

I had an illusion at this time, and for a moment, I thought that the Qingying Mirror in my hand was not the Qingying Mirror, but the Wind Gentleman grabbed my hand. Because my divine consciousness naturally vibrates, my body and mind are integrated with the Qingshen Mirror, and the magic power is used by the Qingying Mirror, which is the same as the feeling of the Wind Gentleman "borrowing the supernatural power". But this time, it wasn't the Wind Gentleman who borrowed my magical powers, but the mountain wall.

I stood there with the blue mirror in my hand, the mirror volleyed in the air, and nothing touched it, and in front of me was the crescent moon portal, and behind the door was the white marble steps. I hesitated for a moment, but decided to go through the door, I had been looking for this staircase, and I found no reason not to enter.

The steps are white and flawless, and there is not even a trace of miscellaneous lines, and the polishing is unusually smooth and neat. On the jade steps, I walked up step by step, step by step. The stairs were not long, and soon they came to the end, and before I came to a flat field, there was a torii in front of me. This memorial arch is not big, two square columns erect a door number column, there is a simple cloud plate drum decoration in front of the column, and the feeling is similar to the "ancient Zhaoting" mountain gate stone workshop of Zhaoting Mountain. However, the difference is that looking at the texture, this column and gatehouse are actually carved from a whole piece of white jade!

On the gatehouse, there are four big characters written with cinnabar: "Jingwu Cave Heaven". Looking at the column again, there is also a couplet engraved on the column, the upper couplet is "the mountain is not the landscape, not the water", and the lower couplet is "the mountain is still the landscape or the water". Behind the archway is a bamboo forest, green shade, I don't know how to go deep, there is a path in the forest, bent and deep, I can't see where it leads.

I stood under the archway, looked back, and saw the jade steps extending down, and the clouds and mist at the end were gone, and there was no trace of the landscape. When you look up again, you can't see the sky, and the sky is covered with white clouds and fog. The place where I am standing now is supposed to be in the belly of a hill, but it is shrouded in clouds on all sides, and there is nothing to be seen in the distance. If you look at the extent of the clouds, you can visually see that it is the size of the mountain.

Now that I'm here, I'm going to go deep and see. Stroll through the bamboo forest and walk into the path, the path curves and is surrounded by bamboo leaves. This bamboo is very strange, the bamboo pole is light green, the whole body is shiny, and the special thing is that there are many goose yellow marks on it, which are distributed like water droplets. On Zhaoting Mountain, I have seen no less than ten kinds of mangosteen since I was a child, but I have never seen this kind of bamboo. I haven't seen it before, but I look at it and feel very familiar. I remembered that Ah Xiu summoned an invisible weapon out of thin air on the Flying End Peak, which was a spotted bamboo flute, and the form of the bamboo flute was the same as this kind of bamboo. It's just that the spotted flute in Ah Xiu's hand is invisible, and this is a real bamboo forest.

The path is deep but not very long, and after turning a corner, I saw a stone monument on the side of the road, the stele is only more than half a person high, and the light yellow texture is like a yellowstone jelly engraved with a seal. There are several columns of words on the stele: "The sect masters of the Mei Forbidden Land have practiced the cave in the past dynasties, and the disciples of the heavens must not enter without permission and do not leak to outsiders." There are a few lines of small characters behind the stele that turn around: "Mei's several generations and hundreds of years of work, chiseling and refining the sacred mountain is the place where the Wucheng eight hundred miles of Tibetan wind gathers qi, the opening of the Lingta Town, the red fat stone is the portal, the Jingwu Cave is blessed by non-human beings, and the magic of the mirror can be used to borrow the eyes of the mountains and rivers to become the Mei's suzerain, and the heavenly way guarded by the ancestors of the Mei family has been destroyed carefully." (Xu Gongzi's note: In ancient times, there was no comma punctuation in the inscription, so the reader should break the sentence himself.) ）

Seeing this, I understood that this should be the forbidden place of the Mei clan, one of the three major families in Wucheng. The Mei clan has always been mysterious, and there is no news in modern times, but I didn't expect the forbidden place to be here. This inscription mentions "opening the red fat stone as a portal", which should be the ochre-red mountain wall I just entered. The inscription also mentions that when this forbidden place was built, "the Qingying Mirror was used wonderfully", which seems to be the reason why I was able to come in with the Qingying Mirror.

I understand it, I understand it, and I am even more confused. What exactly is this "Jingwu Cave Heaven"? Is it the hollow belly of this mountain, or have I stepped into another space? What does the inscription mean that several generations of the Mei family have spent a hundred years "refining the sacred mountain into a great weapon"? Is there such a big magic weapon in the world? Forget it, it's useless to think about things that you don't understand. This is a forbidden place for people, can I enter it?

After thinking about it, I decided to say hello first, stood in front of the stone monument and shouted, "Hey, is there anyone?

The voice came far away, but no one answered. I stood for a long time and decided to go in and have a look. I've been able to get here once in a while, and it's really itching to keep me here. Turn the stone monument and turn again, the bamboo forest has come to an end, and a clearing suddenly appears in front of you.

There is a bamboo cottage on each side of this clearing. The houses were built entirely of bamboo, including the four walls and the roofs of the roofs, all of which were made of bamboo poles. I walked to the nearest bamboo hut, the door was open, there was no one in the room, the furnishings around me were very simple, a table and a chair collapsed, and there was a lattice for putting things, all of which were made of bamboo. But there was nothing else in the emptiness.

I walked into the bamboo huts on the left and right, and the situation inside was about the same, there was nothing superfluous and no one. Finally, I walked into the bamboo hut directly opposite, the largest of the four. Pushing open the door, it was different from the other three rooms. There are no bamboo beds and chairs, only a long table as long as a room is placed under the wall opposite the door, which is not made of bamboo, and it seems to be cut from a whole piece of sandalwood without a single seam.

There are several white rattan futons on the ground in front of the long table, and a row of things is placed on the long table, neatly arranged from left to right. I walked over and picked it up curiously, and took a look at it, it was an ivory handboard, and the ivory board was engraved with words, which should be the name of the person.

I looked at the past one by one, and now this is the name of the Mei clan's successive sect masters. Here, I have seen a lot of famous names in history, including Mei Yuan, Mei Qing, Mei Guangdi, Mei Yaochen, Mei Wending and other celebrities of the past dynasties, some of these people are poets and scholars, some are metaphysical celebrities, and some are masters of astronomy and mathematics. These names are lightly engraved on the ivory panel, and the word "plum" at the top is painted red with cinnabar, which is very eye-catching. When I saw the last ivory plate at the left end of the long case, I couldn't help but be stunned. I was even more surprised than when I first appeared in this cave!

This ivory board is the only one that has not been painted with cinnabar, and it is lightly engraved with three words - plum, wild, stone!

Mei Yeshi: What a familiar name! Can you not be familiar with nonsense? I think that when I was in the Zhongnan Mountain, I saved Nanchiye and Qiye asked me what my name was, and I didn't want to tell the truth, so I gave me a name, called Umeno Stone. I didn't expect that there is really a person named Umeno Stone in this world! The reason why I gave myself such a fake name "Mei" is a homonym for "no", which means that there is no such surname, Noshi, of course, Shi Ye is upside down. But today, I, the "fake" Umeno Stone, am holding an ivory board with the words "Umeno Stone" written on it.

I still have a piece of paper pressed under this ivory board. Pick up this piece of paper folded in half and unfold it, this is a note, written on the gold-patterned sandalwood rice paper, with only a few lines of Liao Liao's words: "The sect conference of the world forced Mei's town to ask Mei's town Wucheng feng shui millennial blessings and misfortunes, my son is still young, I don't know what to keep, if there is a future in the future, I will be a famous wild stone." (Xu Gongzi's note: There is still no punctuation here.) ）
