Chapter 175

The mountains and rivers shine in the shadows, the peaks and ridges are emerald and the birds sing; the flat sand and flowers on the wild shore are blooming, and finally the Han River falls into the Yantan Lake. /

Luoyan Pool was formed by the impact of Hanshui Waterfall. The pool is wide and deep, with a water surface of five acres.

Luoyantan has a relatively open terrain, surrounded by mountains, beautiful mountains and rivers, criss-crossed pebbles on the river beach, and lush mountain flowers and weeds. Every spring or winter, wild geese come here to settle down, so it is called "Luoyantan".

On the north side of Luoyan Lake, there is a Tiantian Bridge. Standing on the bridge, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery of Luoyan Lake.

A group of seven people, driving flying swords, landed on the bridge.

Standing on the overpass, looking at the secluded pool water and listening to the roaring waterfall, Tang Dengfeng, who was in charge of receiving the data, said, "The name of Luoyan Lake has two origins. The second is Fairy Shen, a Taoist companion named after the White Deer cultivator..."

Shen Xianzi, Sun Hao's materials also have its records.

"Great Xia Qiwulun" records that "the white deer in the Han River, the Taoist couple Shen, Li Ji, and the beauty of people; the fish see the depth, the birds see the flying, the white deer sees the decisiveness, the monks know Is the righteousness of the world?"

Shen's Huansha, the fish saw her reflection, forgot to swim, and gradually sank to the bottom of the river;

Shen Shi played the qin, and the wild geese flying south heard the melodious sound of the qin, and when they saw the beautiful woman on the bridge, they forgot to flap their wings and fell to the ground.

Luoyantan became famous because of this.

Zhu Fangmeng also said with a smile, "People in the world only know the beauty of the Shen family, but they don't know the insanity of the White Deer. The Shen family was killed by the falling geese, and the White Deer couldn't go away, but they opened up a cave here."

Between the steep slope from Luoyantan to the top of Hanshui Waterfall, there is a stone cave 130 meters deep. The cave is very spacious, and a passage with 3,000 steps is built from the entrance to the exit. Hole".

Under the leadership of Zhu Fangmeng, the seven people entered the Tongtian Cave from the overpass.

Zhu Fangmeng led the way, and explained to everyone as he walked, "Tongtian Cave, the cave reaches the sky, these three thousand steps, but there is another mystery, ordinary people walk, three thousand stone steps, pass through the Tongtian Cave to reach the top of the waterfall, and then pass through the Tongtian Cave. , at a certain time, monks will find clues if they practice it."

This specific time is very particular.

Taking the date of Shen's birthday as a record, every twelve years a week, there will be a formation to cover the entrance of the cave.

"Quick, it's time", while saying, Zhu Fangmeng walked quickly along the steps, while explaining in his mouth, "These three thousand stone steps must be stepped on every step, otherwise the entrance of the cave will not appear, everyone follow."

The seven of them were all monks. Although they were walking, their speed was not slow, and they reached the top of the stone steps very quickly.

Arriving at the top of the stone steps, I found that the stone steps that originally went directly to the top of the waterfall, at this time, there were formation ripples, as if there was a second exit for the stone steps, which was hidden.

When encountering the formation, Brother Xiliu took the lead and walked to the front without Zhu Fangmeng's order, and said, "This is a first-level lost trace formation, it is not difficult to break, everyone follow me."

While talking, he advanced, but did not break the formation, but passed through the formation directly.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to crack the formation, one is to break it with force, use brute force to forcibly break through the formation, which often requires a strong cultivation base as the backing, and the other is to break through it like Xiliu Cultivators usually use their eyesight to find out the rules of the formation with their own knowledge of the formation, avoid the damage or confusion of the formation, and pass through the formation directly.

At this moment, it is the time when the cover-up formation is the weakest. I wish Fang Mengci, without the help of Brother Xiliu, I have passed this level. Now, with Brother Xiliu, everyone is very fast. I just felt that the front of me suddenly became clear, and the fog cleared away, but I found that before I came to a mountain wall, there was a monk's cave on the mountain wall, and the cave book "Luoyanju".

The gate of the Dongfu is closed, and the gate is a stone gate. After time has eroded, it has been mottled and peeled off. The former glory is gone. On both sides of the stone gate, there is a pair of couplets.

Zuoshu "Enter the door of my lovesickness, long-term lovesickness and long-term memory";

The right book "knows my lovesickness is bitter, short lovesickness is infinite".

The writing force is vigorous and vigorous, and the pain of lovesickness seems to have penetrated through endless years and rushed to the face. But just as Zhu Fangmeng said, this white deer monk is an infatuated person.

Everyone stood still in front of the stone gate, and Zhu Fangmeng said, "Next time, I came here with two other comrades. There is no formation behind this gate, but this stone gate is difficult to open. The three of us worked together to barely enter a monk. Just went in, picked up three or two things, horse, the stone gate was about to close, and had to back out again."

Zhou Yonghua came over at this moment, knocked on the stone gate a few times, observed the stone gate, and said, "The installation of the stone gate should be a kind of mechanism technique. Pushing it open with force will automatically close it, and breaking it with force will break the stone gate and the cave will be destroyed." ".

It was said beforehand that Zhou Yonghua was in charge of this trick.

Mechanism techniques are common in the secular tomb-robbing sect, and have never been favored by monks. Except for the sects that specialize in mechanism puppets, small sects like the Cyanwood Sect do not have this aspect of inheritance.

But the cultivator's hundred arts have their own advantages.

At this moment, having one more monk with mechanism skills will undoubtedly be of great help to everyone's trip to the cave. Zhu Fangmeng's organization of cave exploration is also targeted. Except for Sun Hao, everyone else It works.

Seeing Zhou Yonghua start to study the Shimen mechanism, Sun Hao had a faint smile on his face, thoughtful. Tong Li, on the other hand, stood quietly beside Sun Hao, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, with a very low sense of presence.

After beating for a long time, he took out another shovel, shoveled a few by the stone gate, and groped around the stone gate for a while. Zhou Yonghua stood in front of the stone gate and thought for a while before he opened his mouth and said to everyone, "This stone gate is the Dragon-Breaking Stone. Put down the Dragon-Breaking Stone. The Dragon-Breaking Stone weighs tens of millions of catties, once it falls, the door of the tomb will be closed, and Yin and Yang will be separated from then on..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yonghua continued, "Since there is a broken dragon stone in the cave here, I'm afraid it's not just an ordinary cave, it may also be the place where the Hanshui Bailu is transformed into Taoism."

Sitting on the land of conversion?

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel refreshed.

There are two types of monks’ caves for the monks who explored caves later. One is the caves that monks once used and then abandoned. The harvest of this kind of caves is often limited, depending on what the monks left behind; The second type of caves are the caves where the monks sit and return to Taoism. This kind of caves are often treasured by the monks all their lives, and the harvest is naturally indispensable.

Hanshui Bailu, a Dzogchen monk who established the foundation, for Sun Hao and other monks in the Qi refining period, if they really returned to the Dao cave, the rewards would be very expected.

"The Dragon-Breaking Stone is generally controlled by organs," Zhou Yonghua continued, "Please help me find it. There should be a Dragon-Breaking Stone mechanism near this stone gate. The shapes of the organs vary, and it is likely that a stone slab is it."

Find an agency!

All seven acted.

However, this stone gate is quite big, Zhou Yonghua knocked for a long time, but didn't find it, the stone wall is also normal, and there is nothing special about it, it is really not easy to find a mechanism.

They searched around for a few times, but to no avail, and returned to the vicinity of Shimen again.

Gathering together, Zhu Fangmeng frowned slightly, and said, "How about we work together to open this stone gate?"

Zhou Yonghua shook his head, "Even if it is opened by Heli, it will be automatically closed, which is not advisable."

Brother Xiliu also said, "Brother Fang Meng, don't worry, everyone will think of a way, if it doesn't work, use brute force in the end."

At this time, Tang Dengfeng frowned slightly and said, "We must have overlooked something. Cultivator Bailu must have entered and exited the cave before he was alive. Then, this organ must be near this stone gate, and it must be easy to find. If we didn't find it, it must be A detail was overlooked."

Overlooked a detail?

Tang Dengfeng's idea is advisable. After receiving his reminder, everyone began to look at Shimen again, hoping to find out this detail.

Sun Hao looked at the stone gate of the cave, and after a while, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Senior Brother Tang, I wonder if you have dabbled in the evolution of the Hanshui Bailu period when you collected the information?"

situation?

Tang Dengfeng looked at the couplet on Shimen, suddenly came to his senses, and clapped his palms together, "By the way, you should be careful, junior brother, there is something wrong with this couplet."

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Shimen. The left handwriting of the couplet reads "Enter My Lovesickness Gate, Long Lovesickness Comes Long Lovesickness";

Wu Xianlang said puzzledly, "This couplet is very neat, don't you think there is anything wrong?"

Tang Dengfeng laughed and said, "There is nothing wrong with this couplet. The key is that this couplet lacks a signature."

In the late Xia Dynasty, it was fashionable to sign the name, and the sign refers to the inscription of the name, title, year, month, etc. on the calligraphy and painting, letters, gifts, etc.

There is an ancient book "Xiaoshan Painting Book Inscription" "there is a certain place to inscribe the painting." The ancient poem "Returning to the Country" has the words "several stacks of Kailuo fans, Mojiao's inscriptions are full. The empty half is returned, and someone signed it in person."

Hanshui Bailu left a pair of couplets in the Dongfu, but only the signature is missing.

After comparing the information, Tang Dengfeng walked to the right side of the stone gate and found something.

Among the mottled stone gates, this place is indeed slightly smooth. On the surface, there are faint traces of ancient seal characters. If you look carefully, Sun Hao vaguely recognizes them. "Ninety Years of Taihe" should be the year of the emperor, and "Aged in Guichou" should be the year of the Great Xia calendar.

Zhou Yonghua struck with both palms, "Okay, this is where the mechanism is located. It seems that the technique of mechanism skills must be supplemented by historicalization to be successful. If you are not familiar with the modernization at that time, this mechanism is really not easy to find. Please move away." , watch me open this dragon-breaking stone."

Tang Dengfeng got out of the way, Zhou Yonghua came, pressed his palms on the smooth stone, his true energy circulated, and under his urging, the stone began to rotate in the opposite direction. After two laps, the stone door roared and slowly moved into the mountain wall. An ancient monk's cave, which had been dusty for thousands of years, reappeared in front of the seven people. <
