Chapter 123 Copper Pillar
In the empty and gloomy underground cave, the light from the hand-held searchlight looked extremely pale.Fan Jiannan was very interested in the dozens of artificially decorated stalactite pillars, looking back and forth.The arrangement of these stone pillars confuses him. This is definitely not any arrangement of spells he knows, but it seems to have some coincidence with a certain spell.But one thing is certain, since these stone pillars have been artificially modified, they must have some special meaning.

Fan Jiannan tapped the stone pillar lightly with the handheld searchlight in his hand, with a look of surprise on his face.There seems to be something inside this stone pillar, could it be... He immediately turned around and screamed at Cang Yun, "***, come here. There seems to be something discovered here."

Cang Yunxiao walked over immediately after hearing the words, and said in a low voice, "What did you find?"

"Don't ask, do you have any hard tools in your bag?" Fan Jiannan asked, stroking a huge stone pillar with his fingers.

"Hard tools?" Cang Yunxiao frowned.

Fan Jiannan explained, "Such as hammers and chisels."

Cang Yunxiao frowned and said, "What do you mean, do you want to smash this stone pillar?" He walked over, pressed his hand on the huge stone pillar and exerted force suddenly.Cang Yunxiao got the true transmission of Shanshu, and he has a high attainment in internal martial arts, and the Tai Chi Anjin he practiced is also a masterpiece in Chinese martial arts.I thought that this kind of stalactite was extremely brittle, and it would crack even if it continued under his palm.

A cracking sound of "click" clearly entered the ears of the two of them.But the huge stalactite pillar didn't move at all, which surprised Fan Jiannan.Since it has no effect, where did the crackling sound just now come from?
"Don't move, don't move anymore." Fan Jiannan hurriedly stopped him, while using a hand-held searchlight to search the stone pillar back and forth.Suddenly there was a sound of "Xi Xi Suo Suo", and large pieces of stone chips peeled off from the stone pillar.Cang Yunxiao was taken aback. Could it be that he used too much force just now, and actually broke the stone pillar?Hastily pulled Fan Jiannan back.

After the two retreated, the stone chips on the stone pillar were still peeling off in large pieces, gradually revealing the black object inside the stone pillar.Fan Jiannan was shocked to discover that there were real pillars buried inside the so-called stalactite pillars.The thick metal pillars that require two people to hug each other gradually reveal their true colors under the stone chips.The pillar is simple in shape and thick, as if it stood there many years ago.

"This... Cang Yunxiao was stunned and said, "This is a bronze pillar?But how could this pillar be inside this stalactite pillar? "

Fan Jiannan sighed, "It's not surprising. The stalactites in the limestone caves are formed by the long-term deposition of water flow. In the natural state, it is said that it can only form a centimeter in length every 50 years. This bronze column must be the age For a long time, the water dripped and flowed down the top of the pillars, and gradually deposited on the copper pillars to form a stalactite shell."

Cang Yunxiao illuminated the huge copper pillar with a hand-held searchlight, and said in a low voice, "Look, there seems to be a decoration on this pillar."

Fan Jiannan looked at it carefully and said, "These ancient bronzes usually have special decorations, but this kind of decoration is very special. These are not the common cloud and thunder patterns and taotie patterns, but more like some kind of writing that records events. With this bronze Based on the age of the pillars, could it be that the bronze inscriptions appeared later than the oracle bone inscriptions?"

"What are golden inscriptions?"

"A kind of ancient script, which appeared later than oracle bone inscriptions, usually inscribed on some bronze vessels, so later generations called it Jinwen." Fan Jiannan frowned, "Such a thick bronze pillar is engraved all over the body." Bronze inscriptions, which might cause a stir if discovered by archaeologists, are of no value to us."

"Can you understand what is written on it?" Cang Yunxiao said.

"I don't understand it, but I can guess it. The records are about sacrifices and divination, because there are hexagram symbols on it, which is a kind of number hexagram." Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "I happened to come into contact with similar number hexagrams recently."

"If there are similar copper pillars in other stalactite pillars, then these copper pillars are definitely not ordinary decorations. Their arrangement and number must have some function." Cang Yunxiao turned his head to look at the other stalactite pillars and said.

"Interfering with the geomagnetic effect, that's why we found out that the compass failed when we came." Fan Jiannan patted the copper pillars with his hands, "There must be a certain amount of magnetite buried under the base of these copper pillars. Then pass through the copper pillars. Arrange the array to increase this magnetic field effect."

"Xiao Fan, what is the location of the secret place you calculated? In which direction is it?" Cang Yunxiao said.

"No, this is the limit I can calculate. But now I have a new idea." Fan Jiannan looked around and sighed. "The ancients who set up this array of copper pillars were very strange. On the one hand, they used the magic array to affect people outside, making them lose their sense of direction. And here, we can use these pillars to find out the direction. You don't feel the arrangement of these pillars Does the law coincide with some kind of magic law?"

"I can see it, Jiugonghetu and Houtian gossip." Cang Yunxiao said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Yes." Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "South stems north Kun, east Li Xikan, northeast earthquake, southwest sundae, southeast dui, northwest gen, grasp this most basic principle, dryness becomes yang, and yin lines ebb and flow from top to bottom in turn. , starting from the left counterclockwise through southeast, east, and northeast, first changing to Dui, second to Li, and third to Zhen; Zhengbei turns into the hexagram Kun. Kun is Yin, and the Yang line grows and fades from top to bottom in turn. From the right, it goes counterclockwise through northwest, west, and southwest. , Zhengdong, and Southeast, the first turns into Zhen, the second turns into Li, the third turns into Dian, and turns into Qian Gua in Zhengnan. Do you see anything now?"

"If these pillars are used as the central palace, then our orientation is north-northeast." Cang Yunxiao frowned, "The location of the secret office is due east, does that mean?"

"As expected of a mountain master." Fan Jiannan smiled, "It's a pity that the location can be determined, but we still don't know how to enter."

"Maybe I can try..." Cang Yunxiao stretched out his hand, and a piece of talisman paper between his fingers ignited, and the flame flickered.

Fan Jiannan felt a surge of magic power erupting at Cang Yunxiao's fingertips. The small magic circle triggered by this kind of talisman paper was completely different from the magician's own. Although it was weak, it had a wide range.It spread to the entire cave almost instantly.

"What is this?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"The road-guiding talisman in the mountain technique. A special technique array is engraved on the talisman paper. Once activated, it will expand rapidly, which is more sensitive than the operator's personal detection. It is a pity that this kind of talisman is not easy to refine." Cang Yun Xiao's expression changed, "Over there, there is a sense of magical power."

Fan Jiannan followed behind him and walked to the back of the huge stone peak.Cang Yunxiao slapped the stone wall with his palm, and the fragile stalactite chips scattered, revealing the bronze door hidden under the stone skin.Over time, this door has long been covered by limestone.There is no light in the cave, if it weren't for Cang Yunxiao's road guide, it would be really not easy to find this place.Fan Jiannan was dumbfounded, and secretly felt that the alpine master indeed had strange skills.

"It should be here." Cang Yunxiao looked at the thick bronze doorway exposed under the stone wall, "Shall we go in and have a look?"

"I'm afraid not, you look at the door." Fan Jiannan smiled wryly.

There are five palm prints cast on the bronze door, and they are all left hands.The shape of the palm print is simple and dignified, but it is also very exaggerated, twice as big as the palm of an ordinary person.Cang Yunxiao put his hand on the bronze palm print, a strange feeling of vicissitudes surfaced in his heart.There are traces of the magic power of ancient magicians on this palm print, but due to the age, it is impossible to detect specific information. "This is the remnant of magic power..." Cang Yunxiao said in surprise.

Fan Jiannan said in a low voice, "Your road guide talisman can produce a reaction, which means that this door is related to magic power. As expected, these five palm prints need five magicians to open at the same time, five people with different magic powers People. No wonder Old Ghost Lin said that only when the masters of Wushu masters gather together can they enter the secret place. Our purpose of this trip has been achieved, leave a mark, and go back along the original road.” At this moment, his expression suddenly changed, Holding Cang Yunxiao and lowering his voice, "No, there are people on the stone road outside!"

Cang Yunxiao's expression changed, "Wei Rushan's people! Damn it, they must have noticed the surge in magic power from my lure talisman. Let's rush out!"

Fan Jiannan frowned and said, "It's impossible to rush forward. We don't know how many of them there are. But they don't know the hazards of the gas emitted by those mosses. They should fall into the hallucination soon. This is our chance. Once they fall into the hallucination , We will be fine even if we walk past them. I am just worried that there will be people from them at the exit of the waterway."

Cang Yunxiao nodded and said, "Indeed, the people inside are nothing to be afraid of. But if someone outside responds, it's really tricky."
