Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 477 Cantonese Accent
Finally, a bright light appeared in front, and then the light flickered, and Hengfa's voice sounded: "Is the elbow coming in?"

Zhou Zhi rushed a few steps, but saw Heng Fa waiting at the entrance of a forked hole, resting against the stone wall, with a large bundle of long ropes hanging on his body.

"Master, how is your investigation going?"

"There are too many forks in the road. We checked two randomly, but we still haven't reached the end."

"There's no need to go to the end." Zhou Zhi said, "If the scriptures are really hidden too deep, let alone we can't find them, even if the book collector comes for the second time, I'm afraid even he won't be able to find them."

"What you said seems to make sense." Hengfa smiled and said, "We didn't investigate completely randomly, you look up."

Zhou Zhi raised his head and looked carefully at the dark gap above his head, and it took him a while to see the clue: "Yes, in the past, people came in with pine torches, and in caves that have been explored by others, there will be pine holes around the upper rock cracks. cigarette."

"So the fork hole without black smoke can be ruled out..." Zhou Zhi said.

"There are also passages that are too small and can be eliminated..." Hengfa said: "There are not many left."

"That's fine, then let's continue." Zhou Zhi licked his tongue and raised his fingers in the air: "Oh, it seems..."

Hengfa knew what Zhou Zhi was doing: "It's ventilated here, and the miasma can't stay."

"There must be vents for ventilation." Zhou Zhi said, "Maybe the rumor that this place is connected to Gulou Mountain is true!"

"Then this wind path is too long!" Hengfa didn't quite believe the legend, and took off the rope from his body: "Let's go!"

"Would you like to give me the rope, and I will go ahead?"

"Hehehe... How did you teach Wood a lesson before entering the cave? Forgot?"

There is another huge difference between Danxia Grottoes and caves, which is relatively safe.

Karst caves are eroded by flowing water all the year round. There may be a thin layer under your feet, and a bottomless pit or even an underground river below. Once a person falls into it, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Once formed, the Danxia Grottoes are relatively stable, and the geological changes are very slow.

Moreover, Zhou Zhi and the others did not come here this time for an expedition, but for treasure hunting, and Yuan Xiu would not be stupid with so many scriptures on his back, so the dangerous places themselves were not within the scope of investigation.

The two explored two fork holes with smoke traces successively, and found nothing particularly valuable except for the handwriting marks of "Mr.

Exiting from the cave, Zhou Zhi realized that it was already dusk outside, the surface of the pool in front of the big rock cave was covered with dazzling golden light, and groups of groupers were chattering and frolicking on the water surface, making ripples that reflected the sunlight to the top of the cave. It was a spectacle.

This scene is also very strange, and you can even see the shadows of birds flying on the lake in the changing light. Master Qiao is lying on the sleeping bag, with his hands behind his head, watching the bizarre light and shadow drama played by nature.

Looking at the stone wall on the other side, Zhou Zhi couldn't help laughing, "The Great Learning" just happened to be continued to "A human being is not as good as a bird".

"Brother Yi, you are quite at ease!" Zhou Zhi laughed.

"How about it?"

"same as you."

"Hey, let's eat!"

The taste of the yam porridge was not very good, because the brother-in-law was only focused on admiring the shimmering and bird shadows, which made the bottom of the pot sticky.

Master Hengfa also helped Yuanchang: "Rice paste cures food and helps digestion. I have been in the mountains for a few days. It is good to eat some of this."

"That's right, I need to add some milk powder to make it taste like coffee." Zhou Zhi complained.

Fortunately, canned anchovies are okay. After roasting the homemade naan at Fawang Temple, dip it in the oil and water in the can and eat it. It's delicious!
After dinner, the sky became gloomy, and there were mosquitoes around the water. Master Hengfa went around and picked some nepeta, calamus, and lemongrass, together with the neem, chrysanthemum, and mugwort picked a few days ago, and threw them on the fire It turned into a ground mosquito coil, and the effect was not bad.

A pot of herbal tea was boiled, and it was time to chat again.

"Elbow, do we still have a chance to find the "Dragon Canon"?" Master Qiao held the marching cup, watching the cigarettes rising from the fire in a daze.

"Whether you can find it or not, since you have an idea, you have to confirm it, so you can feel at ease." In fact, Zhou Zhi basically didn't give up his hopes.

Now there is still a Bodhisattva Cave in Lianhua Peak that has not been explored, and these two places have only appeared in the county annals, but if you ask the surrounding villagers, there is no such place at all.

But Zhou Zhi did not give up. After carefully comparing the names of the surrounding places, he found a place called Linfa Mountain on the map of Jiachuan, and not far from there, there was a place called Paosha Cave.

Zhou Zhi, who was familiar with Cantonese, immediately thought that Lin Fa might be the Cantonese pronunciation of lotus, and Pao Sha happened to be close to the Cantonese pronunciation of Bodhisattva.

It is a coincidence that one pronunciation is close, but if both are close, it has to be said to be too coincidental.

Further research on the travels of the Eastern Zen master found that he once placed orders at the Liurong Temple in Guangdong Province. Since he came from the east, there are records that two more disciples, civil and military, began to appear before him.

That is to say, the Paosha Cave in Lin Fashan is actually probably the Lianhuafeng Bodhisattva Cave mentioned by Yuanyin Yuanxiu brothers, but one is calligraphy, and the other is the Cantonese dialect of the two, which are recorded in the local chronicles and the surrounding fellows respectively. Word of mouth is spreading.

"Birthplace, accent, place name, these are the three coincidences. Although the speculation is still a bit far-fetched, it is also vaguely exciting. It's hard to let go if you don't find out, right?"

"You have to try your luck." Hengfa agreed with Zhou Zhi: "If the scriptures in our temple are really recovered, it should be a great merit."

"Is that an easy way to go?" Zhou Zhi was more concerned about this question.

"It's a bit difficult to walk..." Heng Fa said, "But I have visited for 99 miles, so the shivering of not being able to reach the mountain gate will subside?"

"That makes sense!" Zhou Zhi did not so much agree with Heng Fa's statement, but rather to encourage himself: "I won't tell stories today, go to bed early, and recharge your batteries for tomorrow's last shiver!"

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning the three of them packed their bags and set off again.

Hengfa walked more cautiously than the previous few days, because he had never been to this place.

However, there are "beast paths" in the mountains, that is, the roads that large beasts wade out in the forest. Compared with opening a road by yourself, this kind of road is indeed much easier to walk. There is only one problem... Be careful of crashing.

With Heng Fa's guidance, Zhou Zhi and Master Qiao even learned to distinguish wild boar feces from black bear feces...

This is not only a winding road, full of thorns, and even dangers.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way. At noon, Heng Fayou led them to a small basin in the mountain.

Zhou Zhi was already exhausted, this trip consisted of rolling and crawling in the bushes, walking forward stooping, which consumed much more energy than the previous few days.

He also didn't know how Hengfa got to the point marked on the map. In short, Hengfa said that the place was here.

"That's not right..." Zhou Zhi looked at the terrain in a daze. Whether it was Lianhua Peak or Linfa Mountain, this place should be a mountain, or at least a hill, but why is it a small basin between mountains?
Hengfa is still trying to explain: "Does this basin look like a lotus flower?"

"That should also be called a lotus seat or a lotus pot?" Master Qiao was also puzzled: "Master Hengfa, are you sure it's here?"

"I'm sure... right?" The old pharmacist was confused for many years.

"Then let's investigate separately to see if there is a cave." Zhou Zhi said, "Blow the whistle if you find anything."
