Chapter 76 Nine Nine Heavens
Fan Debiao frowned and shook his head for the first time and said, "No, the situation in this water is not clear. No one can go down. If Elder Jia and the bug have something to do, let alone take risks."
At this moment, Liu Dashao suddenly moved his heart and said loudly, "Don't worry too much. Maybe Elder Jia and Cai Qingchong have found the tomb and gone in. They are not in the water."
Fan Debiao nodded and said, "Yes, let's wait."
At this time, everyone was already standing on the edge of the lake. Although no one spoke anymore, the worry was clearly written on everyone's face.
Another ten minutes have passed. Just as everyone's patience was really about to run out, the surface of the water finally made waves, and then there was a "bang" sound, and the green worm came out of the water. Everyone couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
The vegetable green worm wiped the water stains on its face, rowed to the shore and said excitedly to everyone, "Comrades, I have found the entrance of the Wuji Magic Collection, and the totem rock is the entrance! Come on, everyone. I'll take you there."
As soon as everyone hears it, there is no need to mention the excitement. Liu Dashao jumped down with a flutter. Fan Debiao shouted awkwardly, "I don't know water."
Yang Weidong walked to him and said with a smile, "Let me help you. You have to take a deep breath and hold your breath when you get into the water. I'll pull you over."
Everyone slowly went into the water. Fan Debiao also entered the lake with the help of Yang Weidong. A slight cold slowly surrounded everyone's body. Liu Dashao opened his eyes and vaguely saw everyone slowly sinking along the rocks in the water. This volcanic lake is conical, with a large upper mouth and narrow lower. According to the current situation, Liu Dashao estimated that it would be a deep hole the size of a wellhead in the center of the lake.
About five minutes later, Fan Debiao began to hold back, and everyone finally reached the rock. A square entrance of a black hole appeared in front of the crowd. Everyone went in and went upstream. Liu Dashao probably knew that Fan Debiao was out of breath and was out of breath. He pushed him up with his hand. Fan Debiao pushed up desperately with his teeth and claws. Just when he was already a little star, he finally came out of the water.
Fan Debiao saw Liu Dashao standing on a stone step with a smile, grabbed his arm and lifted him up. Fan Debiao collapsed on the steps and gasped. Liu Dashao joked, "Fat man, when this mission is over, I will be your teacher to teach you swimming and diving, okay? Otherwise, if you go to the sea in the future, why don't you be the son-in-law of the Sea Dragon King?
Everyone had already climbed the steps at this time and laughed when they heard Liu Dashao's words. Fan Debiao struggled to get up and stared at Liu Da Shao and just wanted to say something. I heard Jia Zhuangyuan standing on the steps above the crowd and shouting, "What are you laughing at? Come up quickly to see what I found."
As soon as the big guy heard this, he quickly walked up the steps and went up to the place where Jia Zhuangyuan stood. Everyone found that the steps had reached the top, and there was a large platform under his feet.
Jia Zhuangyuan was squatting and looking at something. Everyone looked down and found that the surface of the platform was engraved with pictures, with characters, mountains and rivers, animals and plants, as well as some strange symbols and curves, which are estimated to be ancient words.
Jia Zhuangyuan moved his feet and looked at it one by one. After a while, he stood up and looked at the crowd and said, "There are a total of four pictures, according to the description of these pictures and the records of these articles. I guess the general meaning is that these four paintings represent four different places. Looking at the first one, it seems that the painting is very similar to the Golden Ancient City you once told me about. And the meaning of the article below it is also "Golden Ancient City"
He pointed to a picture of the ground for everyone to see. When Liu Dashao and Fan Debiao looked down when they heard the words, as expected, this picture was a city. Judging from the characters and the buildings and colors in the city, it looked like the golden ancient city built by Zhang Jiao.
Jia Zhuangyuan continued: "Let's look at the second picture. A blue lake, a figure dressed as an emperor and many attendants seem to be doing some ceremony by the lake. There are flowers and five animals. This picture seems to be the lakeside of the volcanic lake where we were just now. But this picture is very strange. I see that the other pictures are all a city, but there are only such simple characters standing by the lake in this picture. What are these people doing? What kind of ceremony are they doing? I don't understand." Everyone also squatted down and looked at the pictures one by one. Sure enough, as Jia Zhuangyuan said, the other two pictures are strange cities. Jia Zhuangyuan pointed to each picture and said to everyone, "According to the color and text of each picture, these four places are the golden ancient city, the Wuji Buddha Collection, the Wuji Magic Collection, and the Wuji Tao Collection. I don't know what these four places mean. You Now we have only entered the Golden Ancient City and the Wuji Buddha Collection. Now we don't know where the others are and what they mean.
At this time, Liu Dashao suddenly said, "Is the legend true?"
Everyone looked at Liu Dashao in consternation. Liu Dashao said with a solemn face: "In the Chinese Taoist school, there is such a mysterious legend: in the Eastern Han Dynasty, suddenly, all the living Taoist masters suddenly received a Taoist post named Yin Changsheng, saying that he was eight years old. In the middle of the moon, when the moon was full, they gathered at the Dragon and Tiger Hall in Sanqing Mountain, Jiangxi Province to talk about immortals and Taoism, and claimed that he was the first person in the Taoist family. Although the famous Taoists at that time did not know who Yin Changsheng was, after receiving the post, they all felt that this person was extremely arrogant, so in the middle of autumn, all the people who received the post rushed to Sanqing Mountain to teach this unknown madman in the discussion. As a result, on the full moon night that night, the Yin Changsheng came from the moon and first gave a down to all the commentators present. In the argument that night, Li Qitong's debate made all the celebrities present speechless. Then in the laughter, a white cloud came casually and drove away, leaving all the Taoist celebrities stunned.
Speaking of this, Liu Dashao sighed and continued to say, "Just as Yin Changsheng was driving away, he suddenly left a sentence and said, "I think there are still people who understand the world. You can distinguish me from me. Now you are not my enemies. I have left a book for each of you in your arms. Remember to devote your practice and enlightenment. He will become immortals day by day. I will burn incense in Wuji Dao and welcome the crane. The famous person in the scene touched it in his arms, and as expected, he was put into a book. In addition to the Taoist scriptures, the book also describes in detail the magic and magnificence of the infinite Taoist collection. Unfortunately, to this day, this book should not be left in the world. I also learned about this legend from the master's dictation. It is said that the Wuji Tao exists in the ethereal. The names of the three secret collections, as the predecessor Jia just said, is only missing the last place.
After Liu Dashao finished speaking, Fan Debiao asked, "Da Shao, where is the last place?"
Liu Dashao said, "The last place is the "nine heavens". According to that legend, Yin Changsheng mentioned in the book left to the Taoist family that after becoming an immortal, you can enter the ninety-nine heavens to travel, understand life and death, and get the truth."
Hearing Liu Dashao's words, everyone was very surprised. Did these three secrets include the previous Wuji Buddha Collection? Everyone present with the strangeness and evil in the infinite Buddha is still vivid in my mind.
What is Tao? What can you understand?
Jia Zhuangyuan muttered at this time, "Is it possible that the place where we are now under this volcanic lake leads to the legendary "nine heavens"? Is Yin Changsheng Zhang Jiao? Does he really have to become a fairy?
Liu Dashao sneered and said, "Whether this Yin Changsheng is Zhang Jiao or not, at least from my experience in the Golden Ancient City, this person is absolutely sinister and can't be a fairy."
At this time, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, and some vague things in his mind were floating around, but it was very unclear. Involuntarily, he said, "What is immortality and what is Tao?" The theory of immortality is that people follow people's words, and we don't have to delve into it. We don't have to go into the infinite Tao to explore it, no matter what kind of fairyland it is. Maybe in the end, we can solve this eternal mystery.
Everyone looked at Liu Dashao in consternation. Liu Dashao shook his head vigorously. Strangely, the dizziness suddenly disappeared again.
Jia Zhuangyuan looked at Liu Dashao and nodded and said, "Kid Liu, your words are very reasonable. Xiandao is an ethereal and empty thing. We really don't need to delve deeply. To solve the mystery, we have to go to the end. Well, let's not think so much about it first. Let's go step by step.
Everyone nodded and said that it was indeed useless to discuss and speculate here, so we sorted out the packaging and prepared to continue to explore.
Jia Zhuangyuan pointed to the front of the platform with a strange expression and said, "We came all the way up from the volcanic lake, but I just explored first. In front of the platform is a downward corridor, which looks very dark. I have a feeling that this corridor seems to go straight to the bottom of the mountain, even deeper."
Liu Dashao smiled and said, "If you come, you will be safe. We had to see the way and leave. Don't think too much. Some things are not based on feelings. Perhaps only when you see it with your own eyes can it be true and solve all the mysteries in everyone's heart.
When Jia Zhuangyuan heard Liu Dashao's words, he didn't say anything. He walked in front of him, and Liu Dashao followed with a smile. Everyone looked at each other and silently stepped forward.
Walking down the platform, a dark corridor appeared in front of everyone, and the flashlight looked inside. A deep, dark, gloomy and strange feeling made everyone shiver. A cyan stone step that doesn't know where it leads straight down, and I don't know where it leads.
Everyone turned on the flashlight and slowly walked down the steps. The messy and low footsteps looked particularly touching in this long underground corridor.
After walking for about ten minutes, suddenly, Fan Debiao whispered, "There seems to be something on the walls on these two sides." Everyone put a light on both walls, as expected! There are some faint red silky things on the black stone wall. Under the light of the crowd, they are slightly squirming, as if they want to break through the wall.
Everyone can't help but be shocked. What is this? The green worm whispered, "Is the material of this hole wall the red mineral inside?"
When Liu Dashao rubbed his eyes and fixed his eyes, he really saw that the red silk was indeed squirming, and in the blink of an eye, the red on the wall of the cave was becoming more and more obvious. He shouted in shock: "These things are really moving! They are alive!"
Jia Zhuangyuan suddenly shouted, "Run, everyone! Don't be entangled in these things." With that, he pulled his legs and ran forward. Everyone was shocked and followed him, running down the steps.
Suddenly, the sound of everyone's panicked and dull footsteps resounded in the corridor. I don't know how long it took to run. When everyone felt exhausted, their feet suddenly fell empty, and the sound of "plop" continued, and all the people fell into a dark water.
Fan Debiao was a dry duck. When he fell into the water, he felt that he drank several mouthfuls of water. He was stretching his hands randomly and desperately trying to float up. Liu Dashao suddenly remembered that the fat man could not drink water. He quickly reached out and grabbed his arm and pulled Fan Debiao to the surface of the water. Everyone poked their heads out of the water, and Jia Zhuangyuan shouted everyone's name in a low voice. After a period of busyness, it was good that all the people were safe and sound.
Fortunately, several flashlight did not fall into the water, and then the flashlight was bright, and everyone saw the current position. At this time, a square pool with a large area, and the huge buoyancy of the pool indicates that the pool is very deep. Everyone looked up and saw that the water was about three meters high from the place where everyone fell. Fortunately, those red silk things did not seem to follow.
In the dark, Fan Debiao said, "What's going on? Why did the steps suddenly disappear? What are those red silks?
Jia Zhuangyuan snorted, "No matter why this step disappears, it is much safer to fall into the water than in the corridor. Those red silk is a kind of bacteria used by people in southern Xinjiang. Human blood is cultivated and blood-thirsty. Once people and animals are attached to their bodies by this red silk, they will immediately enter the blood, and within ten minutes, people and animals will be sucked dry.
Everyone was frightened by what Jia Zhuangyuan said. Fortunately, everyone fell into the water. If they have been running in the corridor, sooner or later, they will be entangled by the red silk on the two walls, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Liu Dashao said at this time, "The four sides of the pool are cold stone walls, and there is no way out at all. What should I do? You can't just be trapped in this water."
Jia Zhuangyuan "hey hey" smiled and said, "It is estimated to be less than a kilometer when we enter the corridor, and we are far from reaching the position of the next level Wuji Magic Collection. If I guess correctly, we have to continue to go down and dive into the water to find the exit."
Fan Debiao complained in his heart, why do we dry ducks always encounter water? Liu Dashao, who had been holding his arm, seemed to see through his mind at this time and smiled at Fan Debiao and said, "Fatty, don't worry, I'm here."
Jia Zhuangyuan said at this time, "I'll dive in first, so as not to go into the water without a purpose, and everyone will consume their physical strength for no reason." With that, he plunged into the water and dived. At this time, everyone else stepped on the water and floated on the water to wait for Jia Zhuangyuan.
Suddenly, Liu Dashao felt that something seemed to be rubbing his feet and calves under his feet, just when he was about to open his mouth to remind everyone. The green worm has already screamed, "No, there is something in the water!" At this time, everyone noticed that several flashlight flashlights shone into the water at the same time. Fan Debiao whispered, "My mother, what are these?"
The depths that can be seen on the water and underwater are already dense. There are cyan meaty and round things like insects. They squirm and seem to want to drill in close to the bodies immersed in the water.
At this moment, the surface of the water suddenly banged, and Jia Zhuangyuan came out of the water. He wiped the water stains on his face and first opened his mouth and scolded fiercely: "Grandma, why are there so many corpses in the water? Don't panic. As long as these things are through the clothes, they won't get in. I found the exit. Everyone should speed up after going into the water. Our arms and faces should be careful of these eds.
Before Jia Zhuangyuan's voice fell, suddenly there was a rustling voice from the top of everyone's heads. When everyone hurriedly looked up, a white thing suddenly fell into the water from above and splashed a large splash.
Everyone hurried to see what had fallen. In the light of the flashlight, everyone was shocked to find that this white thing turned out to be a corpse! A naked female corpse, looking at that, is exactly one of the seven people I met in a Tibetan restaurant before! At this time, the corpse in the pool began to squirm desperately on the body. After a while, the corpse was covered with blue and white ede. And the female corpse slowly shrank and dried up. Under the gaze of everyone, it gradually turned into a white bone, and then slowly sank into the bottom of the water.
Everyone looked at this scene in horror and was scared. Liu Dashao suddenly remembered that he had drunk several sips of the water in the pool when he entered the water just now, and his stomach couldn't help but feel nauseous.
Jia Zhuangyuan shouted at this time, "Don't be in a daze. Get into the water quickly and follow me."
Everyone quickly came to their senses, dived into the water, and dived down with Jia Zhuangyuan's figure. The dense corpses kept squirming in the water, wiping everyone's arms and faces from time to time, making everyone sick.
Fortunately, after diving is not very deep, through the low blurred water, Liu Da Shao saw Jia Zhuangyuan swimming towards a distant black hole on the wall of the pool, which should be the exit. Everyone entered the mouth of the cave in turn. Just then, a strange low howling came from the water behind everyone, which seemed to be the cry of a kind of aquatic creature. Through the cry, everyone seemed to feel the danger and quickly swam forward along the straight hole. Fortunately, the round hole was not long. Fan Debiao vaguely saw the splash in front of him, and then lost several companions in front of him. He thought they should have gone ashore. At this time, Liu Dashao quickly pulled him forward and swam forward. At the moment when the two were about to surface, Liu Dashao felt that the water behind him seemed to be a little dark, and he shouted in his heart, "It's bad!"
