Chapter 32 Chapter 31 Gathering

Ayu only felt the furry on his face itching, and seemed to be breathing. When he opened his eyes, he saw Baixue's big black eyes half covered with long hair, leaning over his nose, staring hard.She let out a soft cry of "ah", sat up, looked around, as if in a cave, and everyone was surrounding her, the strange thing was that the cave was not dark, but there was a faint light overflowing, secretly said: "I die!" Already?" Seeing Li Yuanfang standing beside her with his arms behind his back, his eyes lit up when he saw her wake up, but he still put on a straight face and sighed.Hu Lvchong behind him smiled, and clapped his hands lightly. The puppy climbed off Ayu's body and jumped into the arms of its owner.On the other side were Di Renjie and Di Chun. Di Renjie smiled and said, "Yu'er, are you okay?" Di Chun sat on the ground, rubbing his shoulders vigorously, thinking that he was injured just now.Ah Yu nodded, only felt that there was still a faint vibration coming from the ground, but it was already extremely weak. It turned out that she was not dead, and everyone was fine. It seemed that it was safe for the time being.

Li Yuanfang said coldly: "How could you be so careless, fall from such a high place, and still be alive, what a fate!" , I'm afraid I'm going to be smashed into meatloaf, it's really dangerous.Stealing a glance at Li Yuanfang, seeing that although his tone was fierce, there was a bit of tenderness in his eyes accidentally, Ayu's mouth curled up, and he quickly lowered his head. Hu Luchong hugged the puppy, and said with a smirk beside him, "Did you fall, or did you 'accidentally' jump off?" Embarrassed, Ayu turned to Di Renjie and didn't reply.

Li Yuanfang interrupted suddenly: "Please take Di Chun out, you'll be fine, alas, I really can't trust you." "The matter of coming to Yique is more or less half of my own. Naturally, I won't leave first. As for Di Chun, that's up to him to make up his own mind." Hu Lvchong looked at Di Chun and said with a smile. Di Chun patted his head and said embarrassedly, "I thought you were gone forever." Di Renjie stood aside, looking at these young people, he felt warm like spring.At this moment, the way to come is dead, and it is still unknown whether he can go out safely, but his heart seems to be very calm, he laughed and said: "Yu'er, how did you find us?"

"When Duan Jiu's father found me, I didn't know it was Uncle Wu. He should have stolen the book——Master was seriously injured and had been in a coma. How could he tell him to bring some books? Now that I think about it, he's been thinking about it. It didn't happen for a day or two. Fortunately, he didn't do anything to me and Master, but he was afraid that I would come and expose the lie, so he ordered people to stay outside the courtyard. He didn't even know it was taken away, let alone noticed anything strange outside the courtyard. Hearing that my lord has set off for Yique, I was afraid that you would worry, so I hurried over here. Thanks to Duan Jiu's father, he had carefully surveyed the terrain on both sides of Yique a few years ago, drew a map, and put some roads, The cave and the water flow are all marked out, especially the places he thinks are suspicious and cannot be reached. The entrance of the cave just now is one of them. In fact, it is close to the foot of the mountain. I just found it.Looking down from the entrance of the cave, I didn't realize how deep it was, and hearing your voices, I thought it wasn't too high. Ayu lowered her head and smiled, then pointed to the puppy: "Bai Xue has been following me, and we both came down." "

Li Yuanfang took out the little jade tiger, handed it over without saying a word, Ayu stretched out his hand to take it, and seemed to remember something, and went to look at his purse. Fortunately, the map was not lost, so he took it out and presented it to Di Renjie. When Di Renjie opened it to look, it was marked very carefully. In some places, he wrote small notes, such as: "The cave is deep, there is no way down", "Near Yishui, there is a dark river in the cave", etc. He said happily: " This picture is very useful. It seems that Duan Jiu really spent a lot of effort in order to guide the treasure. The most rare thing is that after listening to An Jinzang's persuasion, the two became friends. Perhaps for him, This friendship is more valuable than a treasure, enough to last a lifetime."

Ayu heard the words and sighed: "Duan Jiu's father also said that it was a pity that he didn't get to see the treasure at the beginning, but he has long since let go of the matter. Poor people like Uncle Wu, it's really not worth it to take his life in vain!" Hu Luchong kept looking at the Yuejing Knife on his waist, and said angrily at this moment: "If it hadn't been for not protecting the mirror and the knife just now, we would not be in danger now, and there is no way out. Why didn't the ancestor say something I understand, if we knew this earlier, we should not have come to Yique if we tried our best to destroy this knife."

"I can't blame you." Di Renjie said with a smile: "Actually, the 'strange array' activated by the knife mirror was originally intended to open the passage into this place. The pond water will naturally return to its original state. Perhaps the arrangement of the ancestors requires another person to go outside and open the passage at an agreed time, so that the person who entered the previous time can come out. There is one possibility, judging from the exquisite bronze beasts in the pond and the sculptures of the head and feet of the tortoise on the rocks, designing an entrance with such a large handwriting must be used unusually. Pointing to the cave behind him that hadn't gone deep, he said, "Maybe coming in from the outside is for a sacred sacrificial activity, so it's not certain if you can't get out."

After a pause, he continued: "Actually, it wasn't the sword and mirror that caused the mountain to collapse, but that extra copper beast!" Di Chunqi said: "No one touched it, how could it have anything to do with it?" Di Renjie sighed: "Just now I heard that a bronze beast was discarded in the grass, and I thought it was wrong. The various designs in the valley are very precise, and it is impossible for there to be 'superfluous' settings. Unfortunately, I have never figured it out. It wasn’t until Hou Sizhi moved the box of gold that he suddenly understood: This is a trap set by the one sitting in the pool for us. ——The bronze beast should have been where the gold was. It looks like a huge 'paperweight'. According to my guess, its function is to suppress a device in the valley. When Gao Changgong discovered its secret, he replaced the copper beast with a box of gold and placed it in that position. It goes without saying: just to see if those of us who come later are straight 'destined people'."

Li Yuanfang said: "So that's the case. If we only covet the gold, the valley will be destroyed, and we will no longer be able to enter the real treasure." Di Renjie nodded and said: "So I can't blame Brother Hulu or the ancestors of the Hulu family. In fact, what we saw in the mountains tonight has already exceeded your imagination. However, it exists in ancient legends. People of later generations said that Fuxi made the river map to draw gossip, and Dayu obtained Luoshu and made "Hong Fan", which made the flood cured, and derived all kinds of mysteries from it. Today It seems that later generations will be mistaken? These ancient ruins are only designed for an entrance?"

Speaking of this, Di Renjie smiled self-deprecatingly, and said to Hulu: "If your ancestor or Gao Changgong said that he saw the miracle of the 'Luoshu' appearing in Yique Mountain, would you believe it? I would believe it again, but I thought it was just another lunatic trying to catch fame. Sitting in the Huatan, he also said that he wanted to imitate Venerable Kassapa. Maybe what he wants to pass on is not the Dharma or treasures, but the relics of thousands of years ago. Therefore, he cannot describe it in words, because there are too many unknowable mysteries in it, so it can only be left to future generations. It is a pity that you and I are stupid, unable to understand this miracle of heaven and earth, and ultimately unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of this inheritance. .”

"Hearing what your lord said, even though I haven't met this senior, I still admire him a little bit. Back then, he was able to discover the secret to open the passage, and then laid a trap with good intentions. Ordinary people can reach it." Ayu suddenly said. Li Yuanfang also said: "It must be another story." Di Renjie smiled slightly, with a look of wisdom and comprehension in his eyes: "Now that we are in danger, we can only blame ourselves. Each has a 'demon' that I can't let go of, which made me just indulge in the wonders of Luoshu and lose my usual judgment. It is because of your strength that you have been dragged down to this point." His eyes swept over everyone one by one, and he said: "In any case, we must try to get out." Li Yuanfang, Di Chun, Hu Luchong, and Ayu thought to themselves, it really wasn't the word "love" that made everyone "demonized"?Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they couldn't help but laugh together. Li Yuanfang and Hu Lvchong were even more proud, and they slapped each other. Life is so beautiful, how can you give up lightly? !
