Chapter 80 Chapter 79: The Giant Face of the One-legged Immortal

Tie Guanyin took the water bag and told his nephew: "Stand still and don't open your mouth. Once you open your mouth, something big will happen!" He had just poured a sip of water into the Zodiac Master's mouth, and the nephew behind him suddenly yelled in horror: "Who! Stop—stop and don't run!" Tie Guanyin was so frightened by his nephew's exclamation that he almost threw away the water bag. On the well platform of the wine cellar, Huang Laodao, who was lying on the well platform of the wine cellar, opened his mouth to catch the water. The nephew of my family has jumped over the well platform with a ghost knife in hand, and chased him into the darkness in the innermost part of the ear room.

"Just now there was a woman who ran across from you - ran past!" My nephew said to Tie Guanyin and Huang Laodao who were chasing after them. "What's your outfit, and how old are you?" Huang Laodao asked. "Running very fast, the light is too dark to see clearly, it seems to be wearing a tiger skin tube skirt, long hair reaches the waist, carrying a round pot, tilting your head and smiling while running!" "You've seen it right, it's not like you're dreaming about your mother-in-law, right? Do you recognize who I am now?" Tie Guanyin didn't believe his nephew's words. He wondered if his nephew was so frightened and confused by ghost screams and ghost fires just now, and he had hallucinations and talked nonsense for a while.

"It's absolutely true, uncle, she's definitely not a ghost, she's a beautiful woman." My nephew said with certainty. "A long-haired woman in a tiger-skin skirt and carrying a copper pot, that's impossible, it's absolutely not true!" Huang Laodao lit his fire drill, held it up in the innermost corner of the ear room, turned it around three times, searched carefully several times and said. "What doubts does the Taoist have? It sounds like you are very familiar with the long-haired tiger skin woman. Could it be that you brought it in beforehand, the Taoist?"

Tie Guanyin said this to stimulate Huang Laodao and Ba Fangzi's secret, maybe Huang Laodao only revealed the tip of the iceberg to them. "Ba Fangzi and his concubine are said to have been dead for more than three hundred years. What my nephew saw just now, if it wasn't a ghost, could it be that they are still alive? This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Huang The old man shook his head and said. "What is impossible? If the Taoist priest can believe in the existence of the "Dan Jing", he can be sure of the superpower of the elixir of immortality. If Ba Fangzi really refined the peerless golden elixir somewhere deep in Nanshan, He and his closest concubine will be the first to take it, and it may not be a problem to live for three or four hundred years." Tie Guanyin analyzed.

"However, as known by the old Taoist, Ba Fangzi's golden elixir can only prolong his life to two hundred years at most, because there is a medicine cited in the "Dan Jing" that has been extinct in the world. It is said that hundreds of years ago, someone The top of Taiyi Mountain (Taibai Mountain, the main peak of the Qinling Mountains, 3,767 meters above sea level) has been seen before, and it is impossible for Ba Fangzi to reach the alpine region above the clouds, because he only has one leg!" "Ah! Then how did he go over the mountains?" Tie Guanyin showed surprise. Ba Fangzi, who is so extraordinary and holds an important position, turned out to be a one-legged immortal!

"It's nothing inconvenient. Ba Fangzi's usual eating, drinking, and traveling are all taken care of by the six long-haired concubines who stay close to his left and right. That is to say, these six concubines are his legs." "Oh! In this way, the concubine by his side has been with him for so many years, she must be an extraordinary woman." "Of course, those concubines have already passed the age of knowing their fate, but they all look like jade, and they look like immortals. They don't have Ba Fangzi's thaumaturgy, how can they be so self-cultivating! So what the nephew just saw made the old man Shocked, whether it is a human or a ghost, let’s put it aside for the time being, the entrance has not been found, how can we wait here!"

Tie Guanyin wanted to ask more questions, but the Taoist Huang obviously lost his patience, and after speaking, he carried the fire drill and walked outside the ear chamber, followed closely by Tie Guanyin's uncle and nephew. The three of them searched the tunnel cave with fire, but found no trace. They also went to the ear room where the bones were stored, but found nothing. Huang Laodao was in front, and the two of them followed behind, and walked into the big grotto together. "Did the Taoist priest drive the will-o'-the-wisps in from here?" Tie Guanyin asked while touching the crack of the Moon Gate on the stone wall.

"Yes, at that time, I put on my robes and moved the spell, and I rushed straight to the fireball that slammed into the stone gate of the moon, but I felt that I was knocked back by the hard stone gate, and then the ground under my feet shook and cracked, and I couldn't stand stably. When the flames flickered, I didn't know anything, and when I woke up, I found myself lying in the wine cellar, and I heard you calling me." Huang Laodao replied. Tie Guanyin didn't say a word. My nephew approached the moon stone gate and pulled out the crowbar from his waist: "Pry it first, and search everywhere. The entrance and the long-haired woman who ran away must be inside this stone gate!"

"Wait a minute, I still listen to your master. The old Taoist thought that this door is so weird and obvious, there must be fraud in it, and the moon should be cloudy, so it is not a living door! The entrance may not be here!" Huang Laodao first stopped the recklessness of Tieguanyin's nephew. "What the Taoist priest said is true. I also have this opinion. Since I came in, I have felt that the structure of this tomb passage grotto built on the mountain is a bit weird. The front part is made of stone strips, which is very regular, but the further you go, the more disorderly it becomes. , It is completely following the caves in the mountains, but it is not all made by nature. The stone lamp is made of magic, we are fascinated by it, bumping here and there, how can we find the entrance if we go on like this!" Tieguanyin Interface judgment says.

"You mean to say that Ba Fangzi may have used a mountain cave as an entrance, but apart from the left and right ear chambers and the grotto under our feet, there is no cave found! It's just this corridor. Could it be that we went to the wrong place?" Huang Lao said. Say. "It's not that we went wrong, it's that our short-sightedness was wrong. Come with me, let's go back!" Huang Laodao and my nephew were a little confused when they heard what Tie Guanyin said. They looked at each other and followed Tie Guanyin walked out. Tie Guanyin took his nephew and the chief zodiac, and returned to the place where the corridor connected to the gourd-shaped big grotto, and stopped. Looking down from here, you can see the general picture of the big stone gourd cave in front of you. When you first came in, you walked in a hurry , except that he paid attention to the general situation of the cave for a moment, Zodiac Master and his nephew probably didn't even raise their heads.

The light from the three fires is still a bit weak, and the Dashi Gourd Cave looks vaguely shadowy. Because the roof of the cave is extremely irregular and the ground is uneven, in such a dim light, only a very unclear outline can be seen. The reason why Tieguanyin came back was that he was suspicious of this gourd cave when he came in. If he ignites the stone lamp now, it is very easy to see from this angle, but once he ignites the oilstone lamp, he will wake up again The wronged soul who was squeezed into fat. Huang Laodao took out the three fire drills on his body and handed them to Tie Guanyin. Although the two of them did not speak, their thoughts coincided with each other. Tie Guanyin tied the six fire drills to the leather ropes of the yin and yang hooks, aimed at a sharp stone protruding and rising upwards on the top of the cave, and threw out the yin hooks with his hands, and the yin hooks caught firmly The sharp stone, Tie Guanyin straightened the rope steadily, Huang Laodao then ignited the small fireball in his hand, raised his hand and flicked it out, lighting up the fire drill at the top. Tie Guanyin and Huang Laodao have known each other for many years. It is not the first time that the old guy has seen flying fire in the air. Having been hit by the seasoned Feihuo kungfu, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, and the ghost knife in his hand almost let go and fell to the ground. After the light from the six fires was scattered, the uneven ground of the Gourd Cave appeared. They watched quietly, not even daring to breathe. Stone carvings inserted into the ground. The huge uneven ground of the Gourd Cave presents a huge stone face lying on its back. The nose, eyes and eyebrows are lifelike. The left and right ear chambers just serve as the ears of this stone face. The slope on the opposite side is exactly the forehead extending upwards of this giant face, and the larger grotto with the moon gate just opened on the top of the stone face's forehead. The huge stone face looks serene and proud, the lips are slightly closed and the corners of the mouth are raised, as if mocking the three uninvited guests who broke in at night.
