Chapter 648: Build the plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly!
clatter!
Da da!!
The crisp sound of horse hooves echoed in the quiet and wide cave.
This cave is very large, covering an area of one mile in radius, and is in the shape of a huge circle.
In the middle of the cave, a piece of fluorite the size of a millstone is inlaid on the top wall, illuminating the entire huge cave as if it were daylight.
Under the illumination of this soft light, if you look carefully, you can also find that the huge cave here is man-made and is by no means a miracle of heaven and earth.
Because, at the top of the rock wall, there were faint burnt black colors, sword marks... and a series of man-made traces.
But being able to build such a majestic cave is obviously not something that ordinary people can build in just a few decades.
same.
Ordinary swords do not have such a sharp edge.
Da da!!
At this moment, the crisp sound of horse hooves echoed in the cave getting louder and louder.
Obviously, someone on horseback is rushing towards the cave here!
Follow the sound and look!
This sound originated from the smallest of the five channels of different sizes.
However, even the smallest passage is wide enough for three carriages to pass side by side.
The two largest passages are even wider.
It is a passage rather than a thoroughfare, and its width is enough for more than a dozen carriages to travel side by side, which shows how large the construction of this cave is.
Especially the caves and passages opened dozens of feet underground.
clatter!
Da da!!
The sound of horse hooves became more rapid.
Lean less.
An old man in a green robe rode a horse and rushed out of the smallest passage, followed by a dreamlike figure.
That's precisely because the figure seems to have his hands behind his back, his steps are unhurried and slow, and he looks extremely leisurely!
But after taking one step forward, the figure always followed the horse, maintaining a distance of ten feet, like a ghost, and it was extremely magical.
Entering the cave, the little old man on the horse pulled the reins in his hand!
Call!
The horse's front hooves were in the air, and then it slowed down and came to a stable that could accommodate hundreds of horses.
Each trough is filled with fine fodder, and there is a large amount of fodder piled next to it.
Such a huge handiwork can also be seen from the development of the ordinary Cheng family over the years and the amount of wealth they have accumulated, which is an enviable amount.
But at this time, in this huge stable, except for the horse led by the little old man, there were no other horses.
soon!
The little old man wrapped the reins in his hands around the wooden post and came to Cheng Buzheng, who was looking around.
"Ancestor, please come this way!"
As he spoke, the little old man stretched out his hand to guide the direction.
See this.
Cheng Buzheng smiled and nodded.
Immediately.
The little old man began to introduce this cave.
"Ancestor, the two largest passages are enough for more than a dozen carriages to travel in parallel, and they are also the escape routes for the family.
It seems like there are only two, but in fact, if you walk a hundred feet further, there will be nine passages, each passage is enough for three carriages to run parallel, and the most important thing is that there is a dragon-breaking stone in each passage."
"The two medium passages to the west and northwest are the passages from the Fucheng branch and the county branch to the cave here."
"These two secret passages are both in the hands of the masters of the branches of the prefecture and county. The passage through which the younger generation controls the ancestral land is also the passage through which we came."
"Because the core tribesmen in the ancestral land are all branch lineages, they come to the ancestral land to take care of themselves in their old age."
"That's why there are relatively few people in the ancestral land, which is why the passage is the smallest."
"Except for the three of us, the rest of the clan doesn't know the secret family secret."
···
The little old man led the way while introducing the family cave and the changes in the family in recent years.
Not long after.
The two of them came to a quaint main hall one after the other.
This hall is entirely made of rock, but there is no trace of construction on the walls. It seems to be entirely cast from a huge rock.
The two huge stone doors are also made entirely of hard rock. Judging from their weight, they should be very heavy.
At this time.
The little old man continued:
"Ancestor, this was specially built by Ancestor Liu. It is specially prepared for the immortals who will be in charge of the family in the future."
"Junior has tried this before. These two stone doors are so heavy that ordinary people can't open them. Even dozens of big men can't push them open even a hair."
The secret room in front of him was a very magical thing to ordinary people, but in Cheng Buzheng's eyes, there was nothing special about it.
The stone gate can block the curious eyes of ordinary people, but it cannot block the spiritual thoughts of monks.
Not to mention the vast spiritual consciousness of a golden elixir master.
Immediately.
Cheng Buzheng glanced at the old man beside him, who looked like he could be his grandfather, but was actually his descendant, and said calmly:
"correct!"
"When will the two major branches arrive?"
Hear this.
The little old man was silent for a moment, calculating the time in his mind, and then replied:
"It should be soon!"
"Those kids don't always stay quiet. There are some errors in the time when the Soul Boy Banquet ends."
When the little old man talked about those naughty kids, a loving smile appeared on his face.
Obviously.
The little old man really liked that naughty child.
Precisely because, the naughty children are not only his descendants, but also the cornerstone of the family's prosperity.
"The soul boy's banquet?"
Cheng Buzheng murmured in his heart, which obviously aroused his curiosity.
Then a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had also thought of something?
Immediately.
He asked:
"What's going on at the Soul Boy's Banquet?"
"Returning to the Ancestors, the Soul Boy Banquet is also an annual event for the two major branches."
Then the little old man paused and continued:
"The people attending this banquet are all children under the age of fifteen and over eight from the two major branches."
"It is also for this day that the activities of these age-appropriate urchins in the family gather together. In order not to attract the attention of interested people, it is declared to be a family banquet."
"The purpose is also to test these naughty boys on this day to see if they have spiritual roots."
Regarding this.
Cheng Buzheng was also quite satisfied, it was completely in line with his wishes.
The strategy of doing things in a low profile and developing in secret.
Then, he opened his mouth and said:
"Liu'er can't come here once a year!"
"Yes, ancestor!"
The little old man replied:
"The soul boy's banquet is not fixed at a fixed time, but most of them are at the end of the year."
"Only when Ancestor Liu comes back will the Soul Boy Banquet be brought forward."
"If Patriarch Liu does not come back, it will be a normal family banquet. It is also to bring the children together to deepen the relationship between the descendants of the family. It is also to reward the best children in the school and encourage other children..."
····
Following the little old man's narration, Cheng Buzheng also clearly understood the process here.
In general.
This is one of the thirty-six strategies...
——Build the plank road in the open and cross the Chen Cang secretly!
