On the second day, Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle were well prepared, and without knowing Zhang Lin, they took their own elite men, about ten people, to the largest crack in Pingshan Mountain.
Luo Laowai, together with Huamaguai and Adjutant Yang, supervised the Xiling group of bandits and soldiers from the engineering battalion to transport the artifacts outside the underground palace.
At noon the sun was scorching and the Yang energy was strong. Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle had already led Red Girl, Kunlun Moleh, Lao Yangren, Hua Ling and the guide Rong Baoxiaoye and seven or eight good Xiling experts who were responsible for the response and exploration of the road.
above their destination.
Its destination is a huge gap like a knife and an axe, which happens to start from the bottle shoulder. Due to the tilt of the mountain, the mountain gap goes down diagonally and inserts into the front end of the bottle belly.
The crack is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with chaotic clouds flowing in the depths and ancient pines growing upside down. Looking down from a high place makes one feel dizzy and legs numb.
Looking up from below, you can see towering cliffs and a thin line hanging from the sky. It seems that as long as the mountain wind is slightly stronger, the hanging rock at the front of the bottleneck can be easily broken from the mountain.
This ancient bottle-shaped mountain with deep cracks has been hanging unbroken for countless years.
Under the sloping and suspended mountain, there are canyons and ravines with overlapping peaks and forests. No matter from which direction you look at it, the mountains of Pingshan are extremely dangerous.
Chen Yulou looked at the bottom of the mountain crevice for a long time. The top of the mountain is like a huge blue rock with tens of millions of uniforms. Although the steep stone walls on both sides are narrow, they are extremely wide. There is rainwater accumulated in the mountain in the deepest part. If everyone wants to go to
To move on both sides, you can only use the centipede ladder to climb on the cliff.
Seeing this terrain, Chen Yulou called Rong Baoxiaoye, who was following behind, to the front and ordered him to point out the direction: Where do the mountaineers who usually come to collect herbs climb down the deep stream? Where is the place where they collect herbs?
Although Rong Baoxiaoyi had never actually been to Pingshan Mountain before, he was a local native after all. He had only heard and heard about it, and he knew more or less about the great country, and he knew it in much more detail than outsiders.
Seeing Chen Yulou asking questions, he raised his head and pointed at the stone wall in front of him.
Rong Baoxiao exclaimed: "Masters, this Pingshan Mountain has always been rich in exotic flowers and herbs and all kinds of rare medicinal materials. Therefore, people from nearby mountain caves often come here to make a living by collecting medicines.
If you can collect polygonatum and purple ginseng in the mountains, you can resell them to merchants who buy medicinal materials, or you can sell them yourself in the city. The most valuable things in the mountains are: Shishouwu, Ganoderma lucidum, Kowloon plate and other items. How can you help these things?
They all grow deep in the rock crevices on the cliffs.
The cracks in the rock were originally filled with bluestones, but occasionally soil fell from high places. Over time, the tiny cracks were filled, and through the dew mist in the deep stream, many elixirs grew. Therefore, Pingshan
This large crack on the top of the mountain is called Yaobi by local mountain people.
But according to the herb collectors, there are ancient zombies that have turned into spirits hidden in this wall. Even if the people who come in to collect herbs do not encounter the Corpse King, they will be killed by the poisonous substances in the mountain. Moreover, Pingshan is surrounded by traditional Chinese medicine gas, and there are many lurking people around.
Evil creatures, such as the old lady Bai, no one dares to enter the mountain easily. Occasionally, those bold and deceitful people who dare to risk their lives will come in, but most of them will not be able to come back.
In this medicine wall, there is an area called "Pearl Umbrella". There are many uneven rock veins exposed on the mountain wall, which are shaped like stalactites, have a texture like agate, and are shaped like umbrella-shaped pearls, hence the name.
But perlite is not gray or white, but red like blood, and like chicken blood stone, with the most precious medicinal material growing on it: Nine Dragon Pan.
There once was a Dongyi man who was good at climbing mountains. Eight generations of his family had been experts at collecting herbs.
Once, in order to treat his wife's illness, he risked his life and went down from the cliff to find the Nine Dragon Pan.
He was familiar with the properties of medicine, so he brought medicine to repel centipedes and poisonous pythons with him. Finally, he found the pearl umbrella, but when he was about to start picking it, he saw a tall zombie with a purple robe and gold belt crawling out of the cracks in the mountain.
The ancient corpse had turned into a spirit. It opened its mouth to exhale purple energy, stretched out a big white-haired hand to grab him. The Dong Yi who collected the medicine was so frightened that his soul flew away. How could he care about the Nine Dragon Plate?
He was as skilled as an ape, could climb vines and penetrate clouds, and fled back to the top of the mountain as fast as he could. From then on, he fell seriously ill and died within two years.
According to this person's description at that time, the "pearl umbrella" was on the shady side of the huge crack."
After hearing this, Chen Yulou had a thought in his mind, and secretly said in his heart: You must not believe these rumors, but you must not believe them completely. Even if you cannot find the entrance to the ancient tomb, you must at least take off the nine dragon disk growing on the pearl umbrella.
Everyone sees that the ancient wall is steep, but if you rely on the centipede hanging from the ridge to hang up the mountain ladder, it will be enough to make the journey as smooth as possible.
But as for whether there is a tomb passage or door near the 'Pearl Umbrella' behind Shanyin, after all, you have to see it with your own eyes to know.
So Chen Yulou ordered two of his men to explore the road first. They carried two roosters on their backs in bamboo baskets. If there was a corpse demon that had grown up to harm anyone, the crowing of the roosters would be enough to scare them away.
A lot of rainwater has accumulated at the bottom of the Pingshan fissure, and a thick layer of duckweed has grown on it. The humidity is very heavy, and water droplets are seeping on the rock walls. Also, the bottom of the crack is narrow. Once you get stuck underneath, you will be in a dilemma. The group of thieves
I had no choice but to use a bamboo ladder to hang onto the rock crevice and fly over the dangerous stone wall.
Chen Yulou and others fell behind, and the group followed the crevice in the rock all the way. They saw that the steep walls on both sides were already deep in the green clouds.
After walking for more than ten meters, I saw that the rock on the side of the bottle mouth was indeed like a bead wall, and the color of the rock gradually became darker. Surrounded by wisteria hanging down into the deep stream, the vines were covered with exotic flowers and plants.
The soil in the gaps is full of weeds.
This place is close to the end of the shady side of Pingjian Mountain. On this medicinal wall that has never seen sunlight all year round, there are more and more strange plants with unknown names, which seems quite unusual. Chen Xiazi and Partridge Whistle,
They all know how to rob tombs, look for traces in the mud, and discern the color of grass.
Just by looking at the vegetation and weeds on the tomb, you can confirm the age, identity, and gender of the owner of the bones buried in the tomb.
Regardless of the age, the growth of plants near the tomb must be different.
In his tomb robbing techniques, the growth state of the plants on the tomb is commonly known as: tomb veins. The method of judging the rise and fall of these veins comes from the ancient "Mausoleum Genealogy". If it is explained in detail, it is probably not as simple as touching Jin Xiaowei's Feng Shui secret technique.
.
For example: if the grass on the grave is green and tender, the person buried in the tomb must be someone who died young. The grass is messy and yellow, looking listless, and the person buried in the tomb is someone who died of illness. Most of the people buried in the tomb are those who died of illness.
Green pines, vigorous grass..., and so on, too numerous to mention.
The so-called "grave head" is broadly speaking. The places with soil and grass in the tombs on the hills and mountains are all grave veins. The larger the scale of the tomb under the soil, the wider the scope of the grave veins.
But in this world, only tomb robbers who have mastered the secret of "wang" know how to observe and distinguish.
A group of thieves are climbing on the centipede-hanging mountain ladder, carefully watching the plants growing on the medicine wall.
