the last priest

After mediating the dispute between the two, Zha Wenbin continued: "Don't you think that the situation described in this painting is very similar to some of the situations we are encountering now?"

Zhuo Xiong still drooped his head there, bowed his head and said nothing, it seems that some words of Chaozi really hurt him, and Cha Wenbin is also very helpless, everyone has countless questions about everything here, and the only clue I am afraid that there is only the old man Zhuo. (⊙o⊙)...

Chaozi said disapprovingly: "The battle for the deer mentioned in this painting is just a legend, what does it have to do with us now?"

Cha Wenbin glanced at Zhuo Xiong, deliberately raised his voice a little, and said, "If I say that old man Zhuo is not lying?"

Zhuo Xiong raised his head that was originally lowered, and looked straight at Zha Wenbin. Chao Zi regained his energy and squeezed into the crowd again.

"The day before they went down to the well, that is, before they disappeared, we checked the village, including the ancient well, and there seemed to be nothing unusual, and those righteous villages were also locked up. According to the layout of the village and the layout of the entire formation, Arrangement, I will definitely tell them that these righteous villages are restricted areas of the village, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to enter, so it is understandable for the old man Zhuo not to know the situation inside, so he uses four fierce beasts to scare the villagers Can not enter."

After a pause, Zhuo Xiong's complexion has improved a lot, and Cha Wenbin's heart has gradually relaxed. At this time, if there is internal strife, it is definitely not a good thing, and he continued.

"Qifeng Mountain is really just like the old man Zhuo said. It is shrouded in clouds and fog all the year round. It is normal for people to go in and get lost. That's why Zhuo Xiong's mother and sister stayed and disappeared. This is the same as the first mural I saw earlier. The information in the description is basically the same. Only one peak of the mountain is exposed in that painting, and the rest is under a white wavy line. I can now understand that the whole mountain cannot be seen clearly all year round. Now we don’t care about it. Whether the mountain in the painting is Zhuolu Mountain or Qifeng Mountain, it is assumed that it is Qifeng Mountain.”

Zhuo Xiong said: "Brother Wen Bin, if you say this, my father is not lying. When we first came to Qifeng Mountain, we saw it with our own eyes. It is indeed hidden in the clouds and mist."

Cha Wenbin nodded and said, "Yes, I once saw two pairs of men and horses in the second painting. Among them, the pair of the Yellow Emperor was trapped on the mountain, surrounded by Chi You's army. According to the legend of the Battle of Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor did indeed It is trapped by dense fog, which also deals with the natural conditions here."

He went on to say: "In the third painting, a woman appeared, standing on the top of the mountain, holding a white thread in her hand. I can already understand the whole picture of Qifeng Mountain that I saw. In the third painting, it should be said that the woman took away all the fog on the mountain, so that the Yellow Emperor's army was able to escape. In the fourth painting, Ying Long Water was sprayed from the top of the mountain, shocking Chi You's army.

Don't you two think this is consistent with what we have encountered? "

Chaozi was full of doubts at this moment, and said eagerly: "You continue to talk."

"We heard movement in the ancient well, and then you went down the well, Chaozi, and then, the well water began to spray out, until the next morning, we found that there was no water in such a deep ancient well, and then I went down the well, and then At dawn, you found that there were no clouds and fog on Qifeng Mountain. Then what if I told you that the rain and fog on Qifeng Mountain dissipated before the well water overflowed? It’s just that we didn’t notice it because it was dark. Clouds and fog are just the gaseous state of water It’s all about the situation, and it’s still water in the final analysis. The thick clouds and mists on the mountain condensed into water because of something, and then rushed down the mountain, gushing out from the ancient well. Is this the same as the information described in the fourth mural? Consistent! As for this kind of vision, the old man Zhuo didn't mention it to us, does that also mean that it really happened for the first time?"

After these words were finished, the three of them speculated back and forth in their own minds. Yes, because of the darkness, no one had noticed the changes in Qifeng Mountain. What if the clouds and mists receded before the ancient well sprayed water?That really confirms what the murals here tell, but there are two less fighting armies.

Chaozi sighed: "My God, what kind of place is this!"

Zha Wenbin went on to say: "The Yinglong in this painting should be exactly transformed into a dragon. A water dragon flies down the mountain and spews out from the mouth of the ancient well. The location of the ancient well should be the dragon's head! The water dragon Absorbing the moon, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, to complement the existence of this large formation, according to this trend, the upper reaches of this river may be Mount Qifeng! As long as we continue to move forward, we will definitely find the exit!"

Zha Wenbin's words stimulated everyone as if he had beaten chicken blood. He immediately untied the rope, and the raft moved forward again along the water flow. Keeping their heads down, the narrow place was just enough for a raft to pass through. The three of them hurried on their way cautiously, but found no other murals, which made Cha Wenbin somewhat disappointed.

The raft was originally against the current, and there were many people and it was difficult to walk, so the forward speed was not very fast. Fortunately, except for one or two fish swimming by occasionally, there was nothing else.

Just as he was walking, Chaozi in front of him threw his stick on the nearby stone wall, and brought the raft to a sudden stop.

Cha Wenbin asked, "What's wrong?"

Chaozi tried his best to keep the raft steady and kept from going backwards. He pouted: "There are two forks ahead, what should I do?"

Zha Wenbin hurriedly moved towards the bow of the boat. Under the illumination of spotlights, it turned out that this is a "Y"-shaped waterway fork. one piece

Which way to go? This is a difficult problem. These two caves seem to be formed naturally, without any traces of artificial excavation.Cha Wenbin looked at the two dark holes, like a pair of deep eyes, which made him feel very uncomfortable. After thinking for a while, he decided to make a divination here.Taking out the tortoise shell, Zha Wenbin took a drop of water from the river, and it dripped from the top of the tortoise shell. Wherever the water flows, it means which way to go.

"Tick tock" a drop of water fell from his finger and hit the turtle shell. Cha Wenbin opened his eyes wide and watched, the water drop went backwards, this is to ask them to go back!But there was no way back. . . . . .

Tried again, the water drop still walked back, looking at the fork ahead, Zha Wenbin had a bad premonition.

Said: "If we are really destined to come here, left Yin and right Yang, according to numerology, the left is the gate of death, and the right is the gate of life. But there will be a birth seat in the gate of death on the left, and the gate of life on the right There will also be a dead position inside. If we go to the left, we may encounter danger. If we go through it, we will be fine; Look, it seems that either way is dangerous, so you two decide."

Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong said in unison: "We listen to you!"

"Okay, since the two brothers trust me so much, I choose to go to the left."

Chaozi pulled out the dagger in his hand and said: "Brother Wenbin, then go to the left, I don't believe in evil, who is going to stop the young master from going out today, people will block and kill people, Buddha will block and kill Buddha, and defeat all ghosts and snakes!"

Zhuo Xiong also said: "Anyway, if you get stuck here, you will die, it doesn't matter which way you go."

Cha Wenbin looked at the cave on the right. He didn't know what his decision meant. For Chaozi, Zhuo Xiong, and even the comatose Lao Wang and Leng Yiran, if the left side is really dangerous, he can bear this responsibility up?Don't you mean providence?I just don't listen to God's will. There is a saying that you can die and live later. As long as our lives are hard enough, we can survive!

Taking advantage of this gap, Cha Wenbin asked Chaozi to take out the climbing rope, and tied the unconscious Lao Wang and Leng Yiran to the raft, so as to ensure that the two of them would not fall into the water in case of danger.The shotgun was out of bullets now, and it was no different from a fire stick. The two took off their respective daggers and tied them to the front of the barrel, using them as bayonets. They also ate some food to replenish their strength.Antibiotics were injected into the unconscious two people, and some dry food was fed along with the water.

Zha Wenbin made a forward gesture, and the raft slowly moved towards the cave on the left. Zha Wenbin looked back and saw that the fork was getting farther and farther away. He no longer struggled in his heart, and turned his head to stare at the front.As for what awaits them ahead?We'll talk about it next time.
