Chapter 652 Pebble
Speaking of this, Luo Youfang suddenly stopped. He sat on the ground and looked at me silently. I raised my chin at him and signaled him to continue.
But Luo Youfang was still silent for a long time before speaking: "Wudang was indeed the tomb of the late Ming Dynasty, and he brought in the mummies and insect eggs. And he knew that others would enter the underground palace, and that people from the Shuzheng lineage would come, and that the people from the Jun family would come, and that there was a ghost among these people, that is, me. In addition, he also calculated that Luo Zhongxing would send people, but he did not calculate that Yin Yu would be stolen. In addition, Wudang seemed to give a prompt, but I don't know how to interpret his meaning."
Me: "What prompt?"
Luo Youfang pondered for a while and said, "'Don't search, you must search'. The search for the search, there are four words like this in the memory left by Wudang. Don't search, you must search. I don't know what it means."
I couldn't help but frown, don't look for it, you must look for it, what exactly do you want to express?
"Let's go find Liang Houzai," I said, walking downstairs: "He should be able to guess what."
Luo Youfang followed me out of the tower gate and immediately told Liang Houzai about the domino. At that time, Liang Houzai was chatting with Erye Zhang, but was interrupted by Luo Youfang in the middle. It took a moment to turn his attention to Luo Youfang.
When Luo Youfang finished speaking, Liang Houzai asked me: "Brother Dao, do you still remember the deserted village near Erlong Bay?"
I raised my eyebrows: "You mean, the village where the fake king Dafu lives?"
Liang Houzai nodded: "Before you were coming down, I was discussing Liangzi with the second master and mentioned that village inadvertently. Remember, when we came out of Erlong Bay, the fake king Dafu once posted a big-character poster on the telephone pole at the entrance of the village, asking us not to try to find them."
I immediately understood what Liang Houzai meant: "You mean that the clue on the domino points to the fake king Dafu. We must find him and those villagers."
"I just happened to talk about them, so I thought so," Liang Houzai said: "But the clues on the domino may not be directed at him and the villagers."
Mr. Zhang followed Liang Houzai's words: "Have you ever thought about why the fake Wang Dafu didn't kill the real Wang Dafu? I heard Xiaozhuang say that all the replicas will definitely kill the original body."
Liang Houzai nodded at me: "I have considered this issue as well. I have always felt that the fake Wang Dafu must be a very special one among all the replicas copied by Yin Yu. This may be related to the identity of Wang Dafu's tombkeeper."
I touched my chin and said, "I happened to go find Liangzi, and wait until I arrived in Shaanxi to meet Wang Dafu and see what he said."
Mr. Zhang Er: "Then let's break the formation first and hurry up and go out. I'm going to go to Baiwu Mountain as well."
"What are the second master doing in Baiwu Mountain?" As I spoke, I walked towards the adjacent stone tower.
Second Master Zhang walked beside me and responded: "Yan Xiaotian's master's wife has kindness to our old husband's family. She passed away last month and I didn't attend the funeral. Now it's time to go over and take a look."
Yan Xiaotian’s master’s wife died?
I widened my eyes: "Second Master, the person you are talking about is Zhao Dekai's mistress, right?"
Mr. Zhang sighed: "Oh, he is a good woman. I really can't understand why she likes Zhao Dekai."
I still remember that Yan Xiaotian had a very special emotion for his master's wife. Now that this woman passed away, it must be a big blow to him, but why didn't he tell me about this?
No, after Liangzi’s affairs are handled, I have to go to Baiwu Mountain to see what Yan Xiaotian is doing now.
It took nearly an hour before we arrived at the stone tower located in Litai. Mr. Zhang carefully opened the tower gate. There was no second mummy inside. I immediately walked away and dispelled the yin energy in the sarcophagus, and drove away the corpse poison on Liu Shangang and Li Renfeng.
It took us a long time to disperse all the yin energy in all the stone towers. After that, we quickly ran towards the tower located in Xun.
From the outside, the Xunwei Tower is not much different from other stone towers. It’s just that there is no stone statue of Zhou Lie on the top of the tower, but eight windows are opened on the wall inside the stone tower.
These windows have only one shape and cannot be opened, and the outside of the wall is completely blocked.
Li Renfeng said that this is the arrangement of "Yangting Borrowing Position". Each of the eight windows represents a Qi mouth. They can connect the breath of the other eight towers to this tower. He said that my speculation is indeed correct, and this should be the eye of the formation.
There is no staircase in this tower. I walked around the tower room on the ground floor for a few times. Apart from the sarcophagus and the dead mummy, I found nothing else.
Later, Liu Shangang turned on the flashlight and shone it on the top of the tower room. He found a square hole at the corner of the wall directly west.
I used the name of the eight-step magic move, jumped up to the wall in three steps, then slammed the wall, jumped to the entrance of the cave, and randomly reached out and grabbed the edge of the cave, and flipped onto the second floor.
Among us, I can only use this method to go upstairs. My master practiced longer than me, and his attainments in the eight-step divine movement must be higher than me, but his injuries on his feet have not healed yet, so he is indeed not suitable for climbing walls like me. Liang Houzai's footwork is much better than mine, but it is limited to combat. In terms of ability to climb high, he is not as good as me.
The second floor of the stone tower is an empty small space with nothing but dust on the ground.
I turned on the flashlight and shone it on the top of my head. There was also a square hole at the corner of the wall in the east.
Without any hesitation, I immediately rushed up to the wall and entered the third floor of the stone tower through the entrance of the cave.
This tower has eight floors in total, and there is a hole on the roof of the first seven floors. Each hole is located at the corner of the wall. Such a layout should be a special saying, but I don’t understand Feng Shui and cannot explain why the first generation ancestor made such a layout.
From the second floor to the seventh floor, each tower room was empty. Until I climbed to the top floor, the scene in front of me finally changed.
In the center of this tower chamber, there is a stone statue of Zhou Lie, and around it are many irregularly shaped stones. These stones are arranged in five or six circles of rings with the stone statue as the center. From a distance, it looks like a target, and Zhou Lie's stone statue is the bull's eye.
I hit the flashlight on the stone statue and saw a metallic luster appearing on it, but the stone statue itself is pure black.
When I walked forward and placed my palm on the stone statue, I could feel a heat that was close to my body temperature. As I expected, the stone statue was also made of rootless stone.
When I touched the stone statue, I felt the Qinggang Sword shake slightly. At that time, I thought it was my illusion, but when I pulled out the Qinggang Sword and was about to use it to cut off the stone statue, it trembled violently and I could hardly hold it tightly.
It seemed very excited. While shaking violently, a large number of branches appeared on the sword, and these branches kept shaking, as if they were dancing with something.
I gently stroked the sword body of the Qinggang Sword with my left hand, trying to calm it down slowly, but it couldn't calm down at all. My fingertips accidentally touched the sword blade, and the overly excited Qinggang Sword did not immediately stop. At that time, I felt a tingling pain coming from my fingertips, and I felt like I was retracting my hand.
The Qinggang Sword probably felt the bloody smell on my fingers and became a little quieter.
I looked at the stone statue on the ground. It was indeed made of rootless stone. I had used the green steel sword to push the stone coffin made of rootless stone several times before. The green steel sword has never been like this now. I think what excited the green steel sword should not be the rootless stone used to create the stone statue, but something wrapped in the stone statue.
I raised the green steel sword, pressed the sword blade on the stone statue, and cut it carefully. The green steel sword began to vibrate again, but the vibration amplitude was very small, and I could control it well.
When the sword blade was five or six centimeters into the stone statue, I felt a very hard resistance. It seemed that the sword blade had touched the things in the stone statue.
At this moment, with a muffled crack, the stone statue broke into two pieces along the crack cut by the sword blade, and a pebbly-like thing fell from the broken hole.
I took out the flashlight and lit it up. The round stone was translucent. The beam of light hit it, showing a translucent crystal clearness.
At this time, many branches stretched out from the hilt of the green steel sword, and kept shaking towards the stones on the ground.
I picked up the stone and placed it on the branches that stretched out from the green steel sword. The branches quickly wrapped the stone around and finally fixed it firmly at the end of the hilt.
After that, the Qinggang Sword became completely quiet. Its current appearance reminded me of Zhou Lie's Tiangang Sword. The sword was like this, with a very wide and long sword body, and a gem the size of a goose egg on the hilt. In addition to the color of the sword body, the only difference between the Qinggang Sword and the Tiangang Sword is the size of a stone. At this time, the stone on the hilt of the Qinggang Sword was two circles smaller than the gem at the end of the Tiangang Sword.
As the Qinggang Sword was no longer restless, the impetuousness in my heart also disappeared, and it seemed that the formation in the underground palace had been broken.
When I came out of the tower, the sharp-eyed Liu Shangang saw that my hand was bleeding at a glance. He asked me with some concern: "Why is it red? Is the formation broken?"
Before I could speak, Mr. Zhang responded to him: "The formation must have been broken, and I am very calm now."
After saying that, Mr. Zhang asked me again: "You are the one who knows, why has your green steel sword changed again? Where did the stones on the hilt come from?"
I told the whole story of what happened on the top of the tower.
As soon as I finished speaking, Master Zhang touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "As far as I said that, these arrangements in the underground palace should be prepared for you and Luo Youfang."
I nodded: "I also feel this way. The First Ancestor left this stone, Wudang left dominoes and clues. They seemed to have come back long ago. However, if this stone was originally one with the Green Steel Sword, why did the First Ancestor leave it here? The object under the formation was a rootless stone statue, not this stone."
Mr. Zhang said: "How do you know that it and the Qinggang Sword are actually one?"
I sighed: "This matter is too long to say...it's a long way to go out first. It feels awkward to chat in such a place."
Mr. Zhang asked me: "Do you want to check the situation in the tomb again? The main purpose of our trip this time is to remove corpses. If there are still one or two corpses left, this trip will be in vain."
