Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Bi Fang

Suddenly, Yang Ju seemed to have discovered something, and everyone hurried to catch up.It turned out that there was something hanging on the protruding part of the rock wall. Because of the unevenness of the rock, some vines hung down from the top of the cave, like a sparse curtain covering the rock wall. There is still something on it. Because it was hanging at a height of about one person, Wang Qian had already climbed up from the rock below, and pushed aside some tangled vines. Under the light of the fire, he saw that the object was a box one or two feet square, and there was a handle on the box. It looked like a basket, and I couldn't help but open the box to look, only to feel a dazzling golden light, and the rocks above seemed to be shining. I was stunned for a long time, and Fang tremblingly said: "Gold!" Yang Juzao jumped up On the other hand, when he saw the situation inside the box, he was ecstatic in his heart, and held up the torch to look around, and saw that there were many such boxes hanging on the left and right of the rock wall, so he hurriedly jumped to the side and looked at another box, full of jewels and jewels. , could not help shouting: "I found the treasure."

Li Yuanfang climbed up on the rock wall and inspected it carefully. He saw that the rocks on which the boxes were suspended were large or small, and some brackets were set up under some for support. After a lot of construction, the treasure was suspended in midair, which was really unexpected.Touching the box with his hands, he saw that the dark box looked like wood but not wood, iron and not iron, and there was a faint coldness rushing up his arms. The upper middle of the handle was tightly wrapped by vines, and the vines were densely branched. The wall hangs down, making the box seem to grow firmly on the rock wall.Looking at the shape of the vine on the handle, it looks like a big sleeping bird with its wings folded. Its body is full of head, wings and feet. The two thick legs seem to be tightly wrapped around the handle of the box by iron chains. Above, the rest of the boxes are also like this, it doesn't seem to be generated by chance.Li Yuanfang was amazed, he used his palm as a sword, and lightly cut a vine. The tendril seemed to be in pain, and he shrank slightly. Li Yuanfang knew that there must be something strange, so he still jumped down from the rock, and told Di Renjie what he saw. .

Here Wang Qian seemed to be stunned. He picked up a piece of gold and wanted to stuff it into his arms.But he was knocked down by Yang Ju, and said coldly: "How much of these treasures can you move alone?" Wang Qian woke up like a dream, and when Di Chun saw him, he smiled and persuaded: "Vice general Wang, I don't know how to get out now. In this cave, even if you carry these things on your back, it’s useless.” Di Renjie listened to Li Yuanfang's detailed description of the monster of the root and vine, and pondered: "The things I saw today, such as the strange flower that eats ants, are unheard of. You said that the root wrapped around it looks like a big bird, which is amazing. I think of the word 'Bifang' in the print on the copper box just now."

Li Yuanfang wondered: "What is 'Bifang'?" Di Renjie said: "Bi Fang is the sacred bird of the Yellow Emperor's chariot, and it is recorded in "Huainanzi". Where Bi Fang appears, there will be a fire. However, Bi Fang is an ancient mythological object, and no one has ever seen it. Taoists use this as a name to pretend to be mysterious, but it is possible." Di Chun laughed and said, "If it's really a bird, it can transport the treasure out." Di Renjie nodded and said, "People in Taoism really have some meaning." Li Yuanfang said: "I have only heard of a kind of herb named 'Cordyceps sinensis'. It is said that this thing lives in the soil in winter, and its body is like an old silkworm. It is neither grass nor insects, extremely precious and rare.”

"Well," Di Renjie said, "The wonder of creation is indeed breathtaking." Di Renjie suddenly felt that the rock under his feet was dark and shiny, which was quite different from what he had seen before. He squatted down to look, and saw that the section of the rock beside him was like layers of thin paper, and there seemed to be many black sticky things between the rock layers. , I only felt a faint smell of oil. Since Wang Qian came down from the rock wall, he was excited to find the treasure for a while, but at the same time he was thinking hard about how to transport the treasure out of the cave, so he just stood aside, not daring to disturb Di Renjie's thoughts.Hei San was still quietly following Linyue and Ayu not far behind, Ayu seemed to be attracted by the strange things in the cave, and became much quieter.

But Yang Ju shouted: "No, the water in the cave is flooding up." Sure enough, everyone turned around and looked at Haizi in the cave. The water level was slowly rising, and many of the rocky roads between them had been flooded. Only a few roads led to the depths of the cave. It is impossible to fly over; if you only stand on the side of the stream, although the terrain is high, it is close to the rock wall and it is difficult to turn around. At present, Yang Judao should cross these lakes by the rock road before the cave becomes a vast ocean, and then make another plan.Seeing that there was no other way, everyone had no choice but to cross the stream and go deep into the cave.

The rocky road was already extremely narrow, allowing only one person to pass through. Di Renjie looked carefully and saw that the rocks out of the water were also like the streamside, mostly black and sticky soil, and the water level was obviously higher than the normal line. The matter gradually bubbled out and faintly floated on the water.
