The next day, Hong Wending and Ningdie changed into coarse clothes and prepared to go down the mountain to chop wood and fetch water, and hurry up to complete today's teacher's homework.
Jiang Wen also took the small stones to the back of the thatched houses in Tongtian Hall and showed them the way.
"Look at the disciples clearly. The stone steps on the left are the way down the mountain. When you encounter a fork in the road, remember to turn left. If you are hungry at this time, you can go to Huixian Temple and find Yuan Huazi for a fight. If you take the wrong road, turn right.
, there is only one ruined Taoist temple over there.”
Hong Wending nodded seriously, pointed to another road and asked.
"Master, where does this road lead?"
Jiang Wen's face turned serious.
"This road to the top of the mountain is a forbidden area for the sect. You must not run around. Otherwise, if you see something you shouldn't see or encounter something unclean, Master, I will not be responsible!"
Ningdie was startled by Jiang Wen's change of expression, turned away with a small basket on her back, and said harshly: "I...I'm not afraid!"
Jiang Wen pursed his lips and signaled Hong Wending to follow the junior sister closely. Xiao Wending also nodded sensibly and walked away together.
Fu Ningdie has always been unwilling to admit that she is a junior sister, but when she first wanted to accept her as a disciple, she refused to agree. When Wen Ding came to apprentice with her, she couldn't help but be ranked third.
Although she firmly refused to admit it verbally, she said that the two of them were tied for second disciple, and she kept encouraging Jiang Wenzai to accept a younger junior brother and younger sister for her, which was so good.
"Little Shitou, let's go!"
When Jiang Wen saw that the two of them had gone far away, he raised his legs and went up the stone steps on the other side, completely ignoring the "forbidden area of the sect" he had just vowed to mention.
Jiang Wen walked more than half of the way in two steps, with Xiao Shitou still following behind him hummingly. Seeing this scene, Jiang Wen shook his head and said.
"Little Shitou, your method of going up the mountain is wrong."
Xiao Shitou gasped and looked up at Jiang Wen, his small eyes filled with big doubts.
"If you want to go up a mountain, open your hips first! After you open your hips, going up the mountain will feel very, very easy! You can use your hips to conquer mountains one after another!"
In order to demonstrate, Jiang Wen moved his hands and feet, jumped up and down on tiptoe, then raised his hips and accelerated suddenly along the rocky staircase, and his body disappeared at the end of the road like a fast arrow off the string.
But he didn't expect that the water droplets in the deep mountains after the rain and the moss that had grown up after years of no walking would make the road up the mountain extremely slippery - he accidentally slipped his foot and slid on his stomach at a faster speed.
return.
"...Look, as long as you open your hips, you can even go down the mountain so fast!"
Xiao Shitou tilted his head and looked at the master, and said expressionlessly: "Master, are you okay?"
Jiang Wen blushed and stood up, patting the dust off his body.
"It's okay, I'm just pulling my hips..."
The master and the apprentice slowly walked up the mountain. Dawang Peak is a huge independent peak. The higher they go, the wider the view is. Strange trees stand on both sides and strange rocks tower up. After walking for a while, it becomes clear.
I felt dazzled and lost my way several times.
In such a place where it was almost impossible to walk normally, the two people, one large and one small, struggled for a long time before reaching their destination.
"The top of Dawang Peak has not been reached for a long time. Only the Zhangxian Rock Staircase is there. The other six ladders on the top of the peak and the Xuyan Staircase are all decayed."
Jiang Wen mentioned what Xu Xiake had recorded in his travel notes. Dawang Peak once had six or seven roads up the mountain, most of which were plank roads hollowed out of the stone walls. They had become damaged and disrepaired over the years.
The destination that appeared in front of Jiang Wen at this moment was to circle nearly a circle around the top of Dawang Peak, from the south side to the east side of the rock wall, and to a stone crevice on the east side of the rock wall.
The stone cracks suddenly cracked on the rock wall, and the gloomy and dim sunlight could not penetrate. The dripping water on the rock spread to the ground, dyeing the stone surface an uneasy blue-black color. It is easy to think of something unpleasant.
"Wait for me at the door."
Jiang Wen stopped Xiao Shitou from following, and walked into this stone crevice alone. After taking a few steps, he suddenly saw a hole in the cave above his head, allowing some sunlight to shine through, and dust was flying in the half-light and half-darkness.
Time seems to have stood still here quietly.
In this stone chamber, there are several wooden boards of unknown age, straddling the protruding stone beams, and a huge ship coffin about two feet long is placed on them. The nan boards have extremely serious signs of insect erosion and water damage, including bones.
Counting bits and pieces, there were about ten tools.
Jiang Wen took out two things from his arms, pushed open the giant ship coffin, and pondered for a moment in the dim light.
The first one is "Shu Kui's One Hundred and Twenty-Seven Pictures and Praise Notes" in Chen Jinnan's hand.
The demon book written with red blood stains is quiet and normal at the moment, as if a gust of wind can blow it away, but behind this thing is an extremely dangerous history. As the final proof that the hat demon disturbed Bianjing, this fragment of the book
It records a night in a capital city that was eccentric, crazy and strange, with a special kind of power that can awaken things that do not belong to this world.
The second item is the human skull kabala bowl in the hands of the demon monk Keba. This thing is inlaid with gold and silver and is extremely luxurious, but the bones are stained with blood that cannot be washed away. It seems that it has been filled by this offering vessel.
The blood you release will become the best sacrifice to attract Yi Xi.
Both of these items were too dangerous and must be kept carefully, so Jiang Wen took them to the "Shengzhen Cave" and hid them in the boat coffin hidden deep in the mountain.
Together with the dangerous items that have been collected over the years, they are placed in this "sect's forbidden area".
Ever since he noticed the signs of Liu Tu's erosion, Jiang Wen had begun to wonder whether the strange things behind Wulin and those strange things that were inconsistent with his original memories were related to this power...
There are many boat coffins in Wuyi Mountain, and corpses can be seen everywhere on Dawang Peak. However, unlike the boat coffins of the ancestors in the Minyue Royal City, there are many boat coffins in Wuyi Mountain, with different origins.
Among them, the boat coffins of the ancient Minyue Kingdom had their own worship of feathered people and pebble worship. The purpose of hiding the boat coffins in cliff caves was to get closer to heaven and wait for the moment of transformation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The ship coffins of hermits from the Pre-Qin and Han Dynasties were buried in order to go to the immortal banquet of Wuyi Lord and Taimu to seek the opportunity to ascend to heaven and go to the immortal world.
They are also people who practice Qi and practice Taoism.
Strange to say, "immortality" seems to be the dream that countless people in this Wuyi Mountains pursue and have eternal prosperity. What outsiders call unbelievable death and burial methods is just the beginning of another journey in their eyes.
It's just an insignificant transit station.
After putting these two things in, Jiang Wen hesitated for a moment, and then took out a hand-drawn map, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
This is the "treasure map" found by Southern Shaolin from the Xilu Kingdom.
Strange to say, the Qing court and the Jianghu also regarded it as a "treasure map", but the crazy Master Jipo snatched the map from Chen Jinnan and gave it to Jiang Wen for safekeeping.
According to him, only people like Jiang Wen who are not greedy, curious or chasing the "treasure" are qualified to keep this thing.
From the vague description, it seems that even Master Jipo couldn't help but go looking for this "treasure", and encountered extremely terrible things during the process.
Jiang Wen looked at this unremarkable map and suddenly thought that perhaps what Keba, the demon monk, thought he knew could not represent the whole secret of the Wuyi Mountains.
Could it be that in Keba's eyes, the six-toothed and seven-branched Jieju of the Supreme Bodhi is just one of the countless secrets of this mountain...
Time in Shengzhen Cave seemed to fly by quickly, but Jiang Wen liked to think about problems in this dark and humid stone chamber, as if the aura of the Taoist cave could really help him clear up the fog.
After walking out of Shengzhen Cave, Jiang Wen easily found the small stone at the door where he watched the ants move.
"Little Shitou, follow Master and go inside."
The little stone followed him silently, and then walked all the way through the mountains and ridges, overcoming thorns and thorns, and finally came to another stone.
It is also a stone cave. Compared with the Shengzhen Cave just now, this place is much narrower, with a width of less than one meter. When you get close, you can hear the sound of water flowing like thunder.
"You are the senior brother of our Wuyi sect, you must remember it here."
Jiang Wen squatted down and patted Xiao Shitou's shoulder, "The rock crevice on the top of this mountain is unfathomable. In the Song Dynasty, gold dragons and jade slips were thrown into it when praying for rain and worshiping the mountain, so it was called the 'Dragon Throwing Cave'. You must remember
Stay where you are, just in case you need it..."
But as he spoke, Jiang Wen laughed to himself first, and spoke suddenly, without explaining clearly what purpose it was for Xiao Shitou to remember. He looked at Toulongdong, silent for a long time, and finally said
Xiao Shitou walked down the mountain along the same route, looking at the vast mountains and saying nothing.
Jiang Wen originally came to this world through Toulong Cave, but now it looks like an ordinary stone cave in the mountains.
