Chapter 161 Pathfinder

In the center of the courtyard, two white-haired old men looked at the scene in front of them in a daze, looking at the stone statue that had long been swallowed by the black hole.

There is only a black hole left, and when you look into the black hole from the outside, you can only see endless darkness, as deep as the starry sky in the universe, and you don't know where it leads!

Just standing aside and watching makes people feel frightened. The endless abyss seems to be able to swallow people's hearts and souls, and they will be sucked into the black hole!
The two old men were in a daze, staring at the black hole silently for a long time. Until it got late, all the disciples returned to their respective courtyards to wash up and rest.

The two old men looked at the moonlight shining slightly above the black hole in the night, emitting a strange blue light!

Other than that, there are no other abnormalities.

The earthquake shaking of the entire Longhu Mountain also stopped completely underneath the previous stone statue.

The tourists who originally stopped at the observation deck on the top of the mountain also took this opportunity to descend the mountain one after another and evacuated the place. Of course, there were also people who took the opportunity to observe.

Still staying at the top of the mountain, I wanted to see what was going on and why, and capture some footage so that I could go down the mountain to guide.

However, before dark and sunset, Master Guan Tian sent his disciples to discourage people from going down the mountain, and posted notices at the bottom of the mountain stating that climbing was dangerous!

In conjunction with the order maintenance personnel at the bottom of the mountain, the climbing entrance was closed.

All tourists staying in the entire Longhu Mountain were completely cleared.

As for Tianshi Mansion, the mountain gate was closed from beginning to end.

Because Master Guan Tian knew very well that if the black hole appeared out of thin air in the center of the courtyard, it would definitely cause a great sensation if word spread to the world.

Then it will cause unnecessary trouble.

That night, the two old men observed the black hole for half a day. After confirming that there was no movement, they left the courtyard and surrounded the black hole with wooden boards, sending elders to guard it day and night.

After arranging everything, the two old men came to the Sutra Collection Pavilion in the Tianshi Mansion one after another to consult the books left by the previous heads.

Hopefully, this will reveal more secrets about what is suppressed under the stone statue.

The inner level of the Sutra Pavilion has always been open only to the master, and one must hold the master's seal to enter. But today, the slave stationed in the Sutra Pavilion saw that the former master and the current master came here at the same time. He concentrated and was horrified. As if he knew something, there was no obstacle.

Entering the inner floor of the Sutra Pavilion, you will see a room of old bookshelves filled with all kinds of books.

There are bamboo slips, woven fabrics, and finally paper scrolls. It can be seen at a glance that these ancient books are of a certain age.

Fortunately, the servants in the Sutra Pavilion often clean and maintain it, so it is not covered with dust.

In the inner layer of the Sutra Pavilion, there is a secret passage. It is this secret passage that requires verification of the master's seal before entering. Only successive masters have the key.

Even the pavilion slaves in the Sutra Pavilion, who have only been in the attic all their lives, have no right to enter the secret passages in the inner layer.

When they came to the secret passage, they were surrounded by stone walls and there was only an old wooden table and an oil lamp.

There is a simple wooden box on the wooden table.

Master Guan Tiantian opened the mechanical lock on the wooden box based on his previous memory.

In the wooden box, a paper book that was already dilapidated and yellowed was picked out.

"It's it!"

"The previous head once warned that if the stone statue moves abnormally, this book can be consulted. Otherwise, it must not be turned over!!"

Obviously, Master Guantian was a little shocked when he saw the book.

This is the admonition left by his previous head, who is also the current head, two generations apart!

The old man in purple robe followed Guan Tianshi in surprise. He didn't know everything here until now. This was the first time that Master Guan Tian led him into the pavilion.

He even had no idea about the books in the wooden box.

In fact, Master Guan Tian was preparing to pick some time to reveal everything he knew and tell the current leader so that he could retreat into seclusion.

But before he could prepare, the stone statue moved first.

The incident happened so suddenly that he had no choice but to lead him into the cabinet to check out this book that he had never looked at before.

Opening the book, lines of ancient Chinese characters appear before your eyes.

The purple-robed old man looked a little hard at this, but Guan Tianshi was lucky enough to be able to understand the general meaning!
When he turned to the first page, the old man in blue robe not only took a breath of cold air!
He was shocked!
"This is what the founder of Tianshi Mansion left behind!"

"More than 700 years!"

Hearing that the purple-robed old man followed him, he was equally shocked. It can be seen that the founder of the mountain had already anticipated such a day when he founded the Tianshi Mansion!
So the books remained.

Then the blue-robed old man Guan Tianshi continued to read the books, and he had a rough guess in his mind!
The content of the book is that each head will leave writing on it, mainly stating a contact method, which is constantly changing!

The general meaning of the book is that once there is any abnormal movement in the stone statue, contact will be made through a certain contact method, but who will be contacted in the end is not spelled out in detail in the book.

Moreover, the book only records the first four heads and ends there. The following heads did not leave any writing or explanation in the book.

"Who exactly should I contact?"

"After four terms as head master, you are already the fifth!"

"It has been so long. Are the contracts and contact information mentioned in the book still valid?"

"Is this last method of contact still relevant in today's ever-changing modern world?"

Master Guantian looked at the book in his hand and sighed repeatedly. He had many questions in his mind and no way to answer them!

"Master, the black hole has appeared in the world. I think it is not us who can make the decision. Why not follow the contact information recorded in the book by the last master, get in touch with him, and discuss how to deal with it together!"

The old man in purple robe was stroking his beard and thinking deeply.

In this regard, Guan Tianshi was thinking the same thing as him, but he had this idea.

When the Tianshi Mansion was passed down to his generation, it had gone through various changes and many faults.

Moreover, the successive heads of the Qing Dynasty also went down the mountain to retire in the changing times.

Now, it is worthwhile to follow the contact information recorded in the book and summon insiders or Tibetan experts to gather at the Tianshi Mansion to discuss it together.

There is no mention in the book of who was contacted specifically.

The contact information has not been updated after four heads, so I don’t know if it will be useful.

Now I can only hope that it will be useful and get in touch!

The next morning.

Master Guan Tian came to the martial arts field and selected a capable person from among the disciples according to the requirements recorded in the classical books!
The so-called capable person has extraordinary luck!
The nine characters in your birthday are auspicious, and you need to be a religious person!

Among thousands of people, Master Guan Tian finally selected three!
Three ways!
None of the three people handed out a blue jade pendant!

The jade pendant is very simple and very old. It was stored in a wooden box and was only taken out today.The jade pendant is in the shape of half a bamboo crescent, with nine tiny holes in the center!
The openings correspond to the layout of the seven stars in the sky!

In the middle of every month, the seven stars in the starry sky will appear particularly bright. At that time, holding the jade pendant, align the hole position with the layout of the seven stars. The last ninth hole will point the direction of the path!

But because the goal is too broad, it is composed of three jade pendants!
The other two jade pendants also have nine holes and a seven-star layout!

However, the three jade pendants at the ninth hole are offset, pointing to the top of a triangle!
Three Taoist disciples who agreed to the conditions, holding jade tablets, followed the guidance of the seven stars in the night light, starting from the three directions guided by the eighth and ninth holes of the jade pendant. The place where the three finally gathered together was The end of this trip!

Guan Tianshi took three people to the cabinet of Tianshi Mansion, placed a ring on them, and re-read the Taoist principles to them.

And clarified the importance of this trip and the degree of anxiety.

After receiving the order, the three people swore an oath in front of the Tianshi Statue and descended from Longhu Mountain carrying the jade pendant that afternoon.

At the foot of the mountain, according to the seven holes of the three jade pendants, they were aligned with the seven stars in the sky, thus pointing out the direction of the ninth hole. The three of them divided into three groups and set out on the road to contact unknown things.

From the top of the mountain, Master Guantian watched the three figures descending the mountain. Until they disappeared at the end of the stone steps, he was still a little worried.

My heart is full of worries.

The seven-star guide has also been recorded in classical books and was widely used in ancient night marches.

The three armies hold three dominoes, and the holes are engraved with the trajectories of the seven stars. The seven stars in the sky will not move. The three armies only need to align the seven holes, and finally move forward according to the path carved by the eighth hole, and finally the ninth hole. This is where the three armies meet!

This guidance method must undergo precise measurement, and has extremely high requirements on the accuracy of printing on the eighth gap!
A slight deviation can make a huge difference!
Therefore, there will be a post station or a mark at the eighth hole. Pathfinders need to find the marked point pointed out by the eighth hole before they can proceed from the eighth hole to the ninth hole. Walk the route.

The station at the eighth hole, which can also be called a transfer station, is used to suppress possible offset problems along the way, correct them through marking points, and then proceed to the ninth hole to meet up.

Master Guantian secretly lamented that the ancients did not have such modern technology at that time, but they still had extraordinary wisdom and pointed the direction in incredible ways.

It is a pity that in the hundreds of years of changes, too many inheritances have been lost, and by his generation, they have gradually faded out of the public eye.

And after hundreds of years, does the inn still exist?It’s still unknown.

Daxia Kingdom, Security Bureau, conference room.

A group of high-ranking officials from the Great Xia Kingdom gathered together, and each of them had more than three gold stars on their shoulders!

There were more than twenty people, and the leader was Song Xiangdong.

At this moment, everyone has the same gaze, watching the picture played on the big screen.

In the picture, there is a video of Longhu Mountain shaking captured by tourists!

The scene turned to a scene of the collapsed statue in the Tianshi Mansion, followed by scenes of frightened birds flying, animals scurrying around, tourists roaring in fear, etc.

"Director, the unusual movement on the top of Tianshi Mansion has subsided!"

"However, the outside world's suspicion of Tianshi Mansion is getting higher and higher. The most discussed issue is whether there are Taoist gods in Tianshi Mansion!"

"There are hot topics such as whether the Longhu Mountain earthquake is related to the appearance of miracles. So far, Tianshi Mansion has not given a reply, which has aroused widespread curiosity among netizens!"

"Director, do you think we should intervene?"

An assistant at the table took the lead in raising the issue of the meeting.

Various experts and senior officials took the lead in discussing this.

"We should first send geological experts to Longhu Mountain to conduct seismological surveys!"

"Firstly, it is necessary to ensure that Longhu Mountain will not be shaken again. Secondly, it is necessary for the disciples of the Tianshi Mansion to withdraw and the headmaster to go out to clarify the incident to avoid causing greater misunderstandings!"

One of the top executives of Samsung gave his opinion, which caused most people to nod in agreement.

Judging from the current situation, the only way to do this is to issue a professional test report and give the netizens an explanation, telling them that there are no gods in the world, it is just simple geological activities!

However, some experts who knew the details remained silent.

Because some experts had met Lin Beichen before and felt that there might be strange people in the world. Such legends had been circulating in the Tianshi Mansion on Longhu Mountain, so they were skeptical and did not express their stance.

"Just continue to observe and ignore it. There is no need to deliberately control public opinion."

Song Xiangdong responded, and then continued: "Stay the four stars on your shoulders, and the rest can go!"

The person who asked the question at the beginning was a little surprised. Originally, he thought he should focus on the issues, but when it came to Song Xiangdong, he ended the discussion in a few words.

The person who put forward the opinion was also a little puzzled, which was very different from his usual way of dealing with it.

If it were in the past, such things would have been silently wiped out before they even happened!
For example, Lin Beichen's disappearance in Jingli Mountain of Shenzhao Kingdom caused a brief period of widespread attention, and there was a discussion on the Internet whether he was the back figure of the cultivator.

The Security Bureau took action quickly, quietly calmed the public opinion, and gave a reasonable explanation.

However, seeing that Song Xiangdong didn't pay much attention to it, the senior officials didn't want to interfere and left the conference room.

Now, there are only three people left in the conference room.

Originally there were seven people who were also four-stars, but Song Xiangdong still asked them to leave the conference room, leaving only three by name.

Each of these three people is over 81 years old, and one of the elders is [-] years old.

Their hair is gray, and time has left traces of vicissitudes on them.

The three of them walked slowly and sat near the conference table.

The three of them had not spoken a word or made any statements in the meeting just now, but their faces were more solemn than anyone else's.

"Is this day coming after all?"

"Not sure yet, maybe it's really geological activity!"

The two elders looked at the scene in the video and spoke with great solemnity and meaning.

The eldest man's voice was a little hoarse, but his words shocked the three people in the conference room, including Song Xiangdong!
"If it's really a stone statue."

"Then the liaison disciples of Tianshi Mansion must have gone down the mountain at this moment!"

His words instantly ignited questions in Song Xiangdong's mind.

"Teacher, who are you contacting?"

Facing Song Xiangdong's question, the eldest man slowly shook his head and spoke in a heavy tone.

"It depends on what kind of contact information the previous head teachers left, and where the disciples who were finally contacted went. Their destination is the goal of this contact!"

"No one knows who or where they are contacting before they reach the end!"
