Chapter 8 Forming an Alliance with Shangyuanmen
Li Mo turned around and found a three-foot-high stone platform in the center of the forest, on which were placed three treasure boxes, apparently the three ancestors had left martial arts tips in it.
However, those are all stick and gun techniques, and they don't match the swordsmanship, and Li Mo has no intention of looking at them.
Standing in front of the stone platform, he thought back to the scene in the forest, and felt that something was wrong.
The score on the nine stone pillars is not only the key to open the door, but also a map, and the whole forest is the embodiment of the score.
However, what you see in front of you and what the music presents is a little different.
Li Mo thought for a moment, stepped across the meadow, and walked to the corner of the forest.
This is a stone wall overgrown with long vines, and there is nothing noteworthy at a glance, but Li Mo groped for a while and found traces of another small formation.
A circle of ripple-like lines, in which there is a hidden mystery.
Li Mo got the music immediately, and he could naturally see through it at a glance.
Fingers are filled with true qi, and a stroke is made on the lines.
"Click-"
With a crisp sound, the stone wall cracked, revealing a secret passage.
And so it was. ”
Li Mo smiled slightly.
The three patriarchs, though also proficient in music, apparently did not know as much as he did, so much so that they ignored what was recorded in the score.
Entering along the secret passage, a dozen steps will lead to a secret room.
On top of the stone couch, suddenly sat a skeleton.
The skeleton was dressed in women's clothing, apparently a woman.
In front of it is placed an ivory-colored guqin, which is as amber as amber and as smooth as a precious jade, which is a high-quality earthware.
On the stone wall on one side, a few lines of text remain.
Li Mo looked at it, and then he understood.
This skeleton turned out to be the person who set up the formation, its name was Tang Ying, and it was an elder of the sect called 'Yule Sect', who came here from afar to find this treasure and set up a nine-pan movement array.
She immersed herself in studying the lost score of the sect "Flying Travel" here, and worked hard, but when she finally wrote it, her life was exhausted, and she finally died here.
Before she died, she left her last words, hoping that after someone found this place, she could send her bones and the score of "Flying Travel" to the sect, and gave it to the guqin "Tianyin" and the thousands of ancient music scores left in the ring.
After reading it, Li Mo couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said to the skeleton: "You can rest assured, I will definitely fulfill your last words and send you back to the sect for burial." ”
This woman, like herself, died in a foreign land, and there was nowhere to bury her bones, how desolate.
Now that I've seen it, there's no reason to ignore it.
It's just that I think about my bones when I was alive, and I don't know where they are now.
Since it has been stamped with the reputation of a rebellious minister and thief, I am afraid that it will expose the corpse to the wilderness.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but snort heavily, when he returns to China one day, this matter must be settled one by one!
Then he removed the storage ring from the skull, then took out a pile of ore, made a sarcophagi, placed the woman in it, and finally placed it in the ring.
After doing this, Li Mo looked through the hidden contents of the ring.
Sure enough, the woman's last words, most of the thousands of music scores in this ring are ancient books, and many of them were left by famous teachers thousands of years ago.
Even if Li Mo was not very familiar with the music of this Xuanmen world, he could be sure that these ancient music scores were of great value, and it was obvious that this Tang Ying had spent a lot of effort to collect them during his lifetime.
He took out a few random volumes, and couldn't help but praise them a few times as he flipped through them.
The joy of Xuanmen is indeed more extraordinary than the joy of mortal land.
Soon after, he found the ancient score "Flying Tour" completed by the woman, and he was even more amazed when he saw it.
I couldn't help but sit on the spot and play the piano.
With a movement of his fingers, Li Merton felt the true qi in his body follow.
In an instant, it dawned on him.
No, it's not just a score, it's a profound martial art!
In terms of grade, it is likely to be classified as seventh.
Every tune needs to be infused with a huge amount of true qi on the fingertips in order to play it correctly, so that with Li Mo's current attainments, he can only finish the first chapter of the ten chapters, and he is already sweating profusely and his fingers are sour.
"It is worthy of the seventh-order martial arts of Xuanmen, it is really powerful, if you play a few more tunes, I am afraid that my fingers will be broken. Li Mo sighed lightly, and then put away the Tianyin Guqin and walked out of the secret cave.
As soon as I walked out, the stone steps naturally disappeared, and the secret cave returned to normal.
When he pushed it out, there were only two deacons guarding the door left, obviously Shangyuanmen didn't think that Li Mo could really uncover the mystery, and waited here for ten days.
When the two of them saw Li Mo come out, they didn't have much expectation, they just looked at it calmly.
Li Mo smiled slightly and said, "Please inform the master of the Pan Sect, and say that you have cracked the Nine Pan Secret Cave." ”
The two were taken aback and hurried to report.
After a while, there was a dense sound of footsteps in the distance.
Pan Guoyi led a group of elders to hurry over, accompanied by Sun Shixiao and others.
In the distance, Pan Guoyi couldn't hold back his excitement, and asked loudly, "Elder Mo, did you really crack the Nine Pan Secret Cave?"
Sun Shixiao and the others pricked up their ears and couldn't wait to hear the answer.
Eight days have passed since Li Mo entered, and it is only two days before the ten-day limit, and everyone is worried about this matter, fidgeting every time, not wanting to suddenly come with good news.
Li Mo nodded slightly and said, "Everyone, please come with me, and I will personally demonstrate the method of opening the formation." ”
"Sect Master Sun, please wait outside. ”
Pan Guoyi said a word, and led the elders of Shangyuan Gate into the secret cave quickly.
Li Mo took the piano and sat down, plucking the strings.
The melodious sound is everywhere, just like the ancient tune of Qingping, the spring water Ding Dong, the scene is clear and quiet, but it hides the momentum of thousands of horses galloping.
So much so that although everyone couldn't figure out why Li Mo played the piano, they were all attracted by this tune and never interrupted.
Suddenly, the ground shook, and a stone staircase appeared.
Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and they were all pleasantly surprised.
By the time Li Mo's song ended, Pan Guoyi couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that this tune is actually the method of opening the formation?"
Li Mo smiled faintly and said, "Exactly, what is recorded on these nine pillars is actually a piece of music. ”
"That's ...... so"
"Oh my God, I didn't think of ......"
When the elders heard this, they sighed again and again, and they couldn't help but sigh twice.
The mystery is so simple, but everyone has studied it for half their lives without thinking about it.
In the final analysis, there are few people present who are proficient in the instruments of piano and music, and they are all martial arts and swords on weekdays, studying martial arts, so it is no wonder that everyone is at a loss how to crack it.
Pan Guoyi even sighed with emotion: "In the records, the three patriarchs are all proficient in music and rhythm, and sometimes the qin Xiao sings, so it's no wonder that they can crack this formation." ”
Everyone said yes, and then hurried into the secret realm.
Li Mo didn't follow, and walked out of the cave first.
Sun Shixiao and the others were waiting anxiously outside, and when they saw him coming, they immediately asked about it.
When they heard that this method of breaking the formation turned out to be a piece of music, everyone was even more surprised.
Sun Shixiao let out a long breath, with a relaxed expression, and praised with a smile: "Master Mo's nephew is really versatile, and he is also proficient in the art of music and rhythm, we are really worried in vain." ”
Everyone laughed and praised each other.
At the same time, he was full of admiration for Li Mo.
Among the elders present, none of them were over fifty years old, but none of them had the ability to crack the Nine Pan Secret Cave. Li Mo can crack it, no matter how old he is, it means that he has more ability than everyone else.
Admire the strong, and rightfully so.
Li Mo arched his hand and said a few words modestly.
Thinking of the identity of the skeleton, he asked in a low voice, "Has the sect master heard of the 'Imperial Qin Sect'?"
Sun Shixiao immediately replied: "This sect is a state-level sect in Luzhou, and its power is very strong, it is said to be stronger than the Baihaimen and Qiushui Sects. ”
Li Mo knew in his heart that if he wanted to go to the Demon Rock Cave, he would have to go north, and if he went north, he would go out of the land of Yizhou and enter the realm of Luzhou. When the time comes, I will go to the Imperial Qin Sect by the way and send the woman's bones back.
With just these few words, Pan Guoyi and the others have already walked out of the cave.
When everyone looked at Li Mo again, their eyes all changed.
Li Mo handed over the music score that had been prepared earlier, Pan Guoyi took it carefully, turned around and raised it towards the statues of the three ancestors, and said loudly: "The ancestors have spirits, and after a thousand years, the mystery of the secret cave has finally been solved." Our sect can finally inherit the earth-shattering martial arts skills left by the three ancestors and create a grand event for this sect!"
All the elders bowed deeply, and their faces turned red.
After that, Pan Guoyi turned around, looked at Li Mo seriously, and arched his hand deeply: "The mystery of the secret cave has been solved this time, all thanks to the work of Elder Mo alone, and the whole sect must be remembered in mind, and this matter must be recorded in the history of this sect and left in the eternal name." ”
The elders' eyes were full of sincerity and gratitude, and even the circles under their eyes were slightly red, changing their solemn expressions from before.
Li Mo smiled faintly and said, "Master Pan has won the award." ”
Pan Guoyi said again: "If Elder Mo doesn't mind, the master of this sect wants to invite Elder Mo to serve as the honorary elder of this sect. ”
Sun Shixiao and others were overjoyed to say this, and no one expected Pan Guoyi to take the initiative to mention this.
It can be seen that although this old man is old-fashioned, once he has gratitude, he is very happy.
Li Mo would not refuse, and immediately replied: "Master Pan is so important, how dare the younger generation disobey." ”
"Good. ”
Pan Guoyi laughed, his eyes fell on Sun Shixiao, and he praised with a smile: "Under Sect Master Sun, there is a young genius like Elder Mo, why worry about the sect not being prosperous? If you don't mind, this sect wants to form an alliance with your sect for generations, I don't know what Your Excellency thinks?"
"Okay, great!"
Sun Shixiao laughed loudly, and the elders of Yuntianmen couldn't help but be excited.
Looking back at the elders of the sect, Pan Guoyi said loudly: "Since the establishment of our Shangyuan Sect, we have always adhered to the rules of the sect and maintained neutrality. Neutrality means not intervening in conflicts between other denominations. However, this does not mean that the sect cannot have friends. Now, Yuntianmen has helped us solve the thousand-year-old problem, so that we finally obtained the treasure of the ancestor, such a heavy kindness, we naturally can't accept this kindness in vain. ”
All the elders nodded when they heard this, and one of them said even louder: "What the master of the sect said is, the grace of a drop of water, when the spring reciprocates, the matter of forming an alliance is a matter of course, otherwise the matter will spread out, wouldn't it be the people of the world laughing at my sect for not knowing etiquette?"
On the side of Yuntianmen, all the elders were already smiling on their faces, so that the purpose of this trip had been fully achieved.
At this time, Pan Guoyi smiled again: "Brother Shi Xiao, little brother Mo, I will set up a banquet from this door today to make it as good as the landlord." ”
