Wan Yunting tore off a corner of his torn black cloak, wrapped it around a wooden stick, and lit it to become a simple torch, but it wouldn't burn for long...
"Let's go over and have a look..."
So Wan Yunting struggled to stand up, and Zhou Ruoxi quickly helped him. Wan Yunting shook his head slightly and smiled at her, saying that he could walk...
The two came to the entrance of the cave and broke off the grass branches blocking the entrance, revealing the entire entrance. Wan Yunting looked at some animal droppings on the ground at the entrance of the cave...
Zhou Ruoxi looked a little nervous and followed him closely. Wan Yunting turned around and comforted her with a smile: "Senior Sister Zhou, there are rabbit droppings on the ground. They should be all rabbits. There won't be any dangerous animals. There may be at most
There are a few snakes, but don’t be afraid, just follow me and pay more attention to your steps.”
"good…"
Zhou Ruoxi nodded and followed closely behind Wan Yunting.
He said nothing more, held the torch and slowly entered the cave. Wan Yunting's pupils flashed with a strange green light, and the dark cave suddenly became much clearer, as if he was wearing night vision glasses.
It seemed that even the smallest details in the cave could not escape his eyes. He held the torch just to illuminate Zhou Ruoxi.
"This is indeed a cave where people lived. Senior sister, look here, there are still traces of chiseling..."
Wan Yunting held the torch and pointed at the chisel marks on the stone wall of the cave. Zhou Ruoxi nodded, her Qiu eyes always wary of her steps, fearing that a snake would crawl out from somewhere...
"ah…"
Instead of waiting for a snake, what we waited for was a long centipede emerging from the soil of the stone wall and climbing onto Zhou Ruoxi's shoes. She was so frightened that she screamed, shook her left foot, and ran to Wan Yun.
On Ting's left hand side, both hands could not help but tightly hug the man's arm...
"Don't be afraid, senior sister, it's just a centipede, it crawled away..."
Wan Yunting was also frightened by her sudden scream. He thought she had encountered some venomous snake, but when he saw it was just a centipede, he quickly burrowed into the loose soil on the side.
"It scared me to death..."
Zhou Ruoxi was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her heart was beating suddenly. She didn't notice that she was holding Wan Yunting's arm tightly with both hands, and her voice was trembling with fear...
Wan Yunting smiled and comforted: "Sister, don't be afraid, just stay with me and pay more attention to your steps."
"Uh-huh…"
Zhou Ruoxi nodded her head, calmed down a little, and then realized that her hands were holding Wan Yunting's arms. She immediately let go of her hands, her pretty face turned red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Wan Yunting smiled, said nothing, and continued to lead her into the cave...
The two of them went deeper into the cave and found that the space was gradually getting larger. Soon they entered a space similar to our living room. There was a copper stove in the middle of the floor, just like the large incense burner seen in ancient TV series.
, similar to that kind of alchemy furnace!
"It's so big here..."
Zhou Ruoxi's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the space of the cave. Wan Yunting looked up at the roof of the cave, where there was an ancient copper chandelier. At the same time, there was a very low wooden bed on the left hand side of the living room in the cave.
Wan Yunting took a closer look and found that this wooden bed was a very low piece of furniture with exquisite carved patterns. There was a layer of mats on it, and a small table in the middle with an oil lamp, a plate, and a
It was a small incense burner, but it was covered with a thick layer of ash and spider webs.
It can be seen that no one has been here for a long time.
"Junior Brother Wan, look over there, it's a bookshelf!"
Zhou Ruoxi saw a whole row of bookshelves on the east wall, with many books neatly placed on them, all covered with a thick layer of dust...
Seeing that the torch was almost finished, Wan Yunting picked up the oil lamp on the small table. Seeing that there was still some lamp oil inside, he lit it with the torch. Then he saw a half-person tall copper oil lamp on the right side of the very short bed.
, there were several oil lamps on it, and Wan Yunting lit them all.
Suddenly, a dim yellow light lit up in the living room of this large cave. Zhou Ruoxi turned around and saw Wan Yunting throwing the torch on the ground and stamping it out. He could also see some rabbit droppings on the ground and the very low furniture on the bed.
Rabbit hole seen on the ground behind...
"Junior Brother Wan, give it to me."
Zhou Ruoxi said, Wan Yunting nodded and handed the oil lamp in his hand to her, and then looked at the bookshelves on the wall. They were all made of unknown wood, carved with exquisite patterns and covered with a thick layer of wood.
The same goes for the dust on the bookshelves.
Wan Yunting took out a book and shook the gray layer on it, which made him cough repeatedly. He opened the book in his hand and murmured in surprise: "Old martial arts events...!"
After hearing this, Zhou Ruoxi also came over with the oil lamp in her hand and looked at the book in Wan Yunting's hand. The fonts on it were all traditional Chinese characters. "This book should be from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It writes about things in the martial arts world at that time..."
Zhou Ruoxi nodded, and took out a book from the bookshelf. He blew off the gray layer on it, revealing a blue book with traditional Chinese characters on it. At the same time, the book cover was gnawed by insects. He opened it and looked at it. It was a book.
This ancient novel "Laughing Mansion".
Wan Yunting took out another book and opened it. It turned out to be an ancient version of the Compendium of Materia Medica!
So Wan Yunting took out another book and shook off the dust. He looked at the yellowed and tattered cover and saw that the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic was written on it. It was also a medical book. This surprised Wan Yunting and said: "It seems
The person who lived here before was an ancient man who knew medical skills!"
"Um."
Zhou Ruoxi also put the book back to its original place. With a whimsical thought, she turned to look at Wan Yunting and said, "Is it possible that the kind of Gao who is tired of the world and chooses to live in seclusion here and live a quiet life isolated from the world?"
people?"
Wan Yunting coughed twice, nodded and said, "Senior Sister Zhou is right. Look at the furnishings, furniture, and supplies in this cave. You can see that the person who lived here before was a person who understood the taste of life.
"
Zhou Ruoxi turned around. Holding the oil lamp, she looked at the half-person-high copper furnace in the middle of the living room and asked, "Junior Brother Wan, is this an incense burner or a pill furnace used for refining medicine?"
Wan Yunting went up and looked at the copper stove carefully. After warming it up, there still seemed to be a trace of the special fragrance from before, "It should be the alchemy stove, it has a special medicinal fragrance!"
Zhou Ruoxi went over and said: "Taoist Ziyang of the Wudang Sect knows how to make alchemy. His alchemy skills are the most powerful among all our sects. I heard that the elixirs he made can improve the inner energy and increase the power."
effect."
"oh."
Wan Yunting was surprised and said with a smile: "I rarely know about the affairs of your various sects."
Zhou Ruoxi nodded, saw the north stone wall in front, pointed at it and said, "Junior Brother Wan, look quickly, there is a door over there."
Wan Yunting actually saw it earlier and nodded: "Let's go over and have a look..."
As they spoke, the two came to this door. In fact, there was no door. There was another space inside, just like a room, but it was very large, at least forty or fifty square meters.
In the middle of this Shandong room is a round stone table, with an oil lamp, a tea set, a cattail leaf fan, and two round stone stools placed on it.
There is a very large wooden bed in the north. This is an ancient eight-step bed. It is very large, like a small wooden house, with very exquisite wood carving patterns carved on it, such as dragons and phoenixes, and
Eight Immortals crossing the sea, various exquisite carvings, simple and elegant.
In ancient times, this kind of eight-step bed could only be afforded by rich families with a strong family background. When I walked in, I found a dressing table and a bronze mirror in front of it, with many wooden boxes on it covered with a layer of dust.
Wan Yunting opened a wooden box and found that it was full of women's jewelry. The other wooden box contained rouge and gouache. However, due to the age, these rouge and gouache had been damaged, but the color was still very bright. I didn't know if it could be used.
A large copper mirror is covered with a layer of dust. On the left side of the dressing table is a copper basin. There are two ancient towels hanging in front of the wooden stand, covered with a layer of dust. If you touch it with your hands,
, it will definitely break.
"It seems like people don't live here alone, but men and women live here!"
Wan Yunting looked at the bed. There was a large wardrobe inside, and inside was the bed for sleeping. There was even a bedding on it, but there was a bad smell coming from inside, which was the smell of animal feces.
It was estimated that the inside had already been occupied by rats or other animals, so Wan Yunting and Zhou Ruoxi opened the wardrobe without walking into the bed to look at it, and found that there were neatly folded men's and women's clothes, all from the Ming Dynasty style...
It can be seen that the people living here should be a male and female couple...
