Chapter 046 There are nine auspicious beasts
The water in the spring keeps flowing out, and in the middle of the spring, a plant is growing.
This is underground.
It is indeed surprising that plants can grow here for so many years.
In addition, the ancient paintings hanging on the walls are exposed to the air and remain intact without being corroded after years of baptism.
At first glance, this painting looks like an ordinary ancient landscape painting.
However, both Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer had seen the scenery in this painting before.
The two girls looked at each other again.
From the moment they entered here, they found that everything was unusual, and a sense of weirdness kept spreading in their hearts.
"Master, what secret is hidden in this painting?" Yang Zengyue put on gloves and gently took off the painting.
"This painting? Do you think there is a mystery in it?" Master Qianyuan, who handed Xingyun Temple to him, had never told him about this painting.
He didn't feel anything special when the master brought him into this secret room, but now, his feeling has changed.
This place is shrouded in mystery.
Can't see through.
There are many things that are really confusing.
Here is also hidden the place that Master Qianyuan said should not be opened unless absolutely necessary.
"No? But it looks like it's saying something..." Yang Zengyue felt that this painting was attractive to her.
The painting depicts a dome of heaven and earth, with steep mountains and rivers, clouds covering the sky, and endless steps winding upwards, blocked by clouds in the middle. At the top of the painting, there is a pavilion standing alone on the top of the mountain.
Very unreal.
"This painting is not the mountains of Zhongwei." With Jiuxiao's erudition, he could see the difference of this endless mountain at a glance.
"No, Master, it's in Zhongwei. Jiaer and I have been there before. However, it's not the current Zhongwei. It appeared north of Zhaoqi Mountain after the mountains and rivers changed."
She was still shocked at the time.
Speaking of the mountains and rivers of China and Ukraine, in addition to the Sikun Mountain that amazed her, the mountain range she saw later completely overturned her understanding of mountains and rivers.
It turns out that mountains can grow like this.
Jiuxiao frowned. Could it be that all this was not just a coincidence?
There is a destined place in the dark.
In her previous life, Zengyue had not seen this painting and did not know the secret of Xingyun Temple. Therefore, even if she went to that place and had guidance, she would definitely not find anything from Xingyun Temple.
Jiuxiao's expression became more and more solemn, with a barely perceptible glimmer of light, even excitement.
People who practice cultivation do not lack pursuits.
It was not by chance that he embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
After coming here alone, he began to learn various martial arts skills, mechanisms, divination, and arrays from Qian Yuan.
The young man was impressed by Master Qianyuan's erudition and followed him into the world of cultivation.
From then on, I became determined to pursue this dream.
Moreover, he erased his name from the Shi family tree.
On the one hand, it was to fulfill the mission he insisted on, and on the other hand, it was because he sensed the difference of Xingyunguan.
In addition to knife skills, Master Qianyuan also taught him some meditation techniques.
Long-term persistence can strengthen your body, but it is still a world of difference from cultivating immortals.
But these are already fantasy enough.
Jiuxiao recalled the days when he followed Master Qianyuan and the words Qianyuan said to him before he passed away.
Looking at the secret room again, he suddenly understood the expression on Qianyuan's face when he died.
It's a pity.
Now, Jiuxiao understood Master Qianyuan’s regret, which was probably because he was unable to see the end of the world that Zengyue had mentioned, when the shackles were broken.
Jiuxiao withdrew his thoughts and said, "After we get that thing, we can come back and look at this painting. Put it away first."
Yang Zengyue took the painting down and placed it flat on the table, put it in a long box, rolled it up with cloth, and carried it on his back.
Shi Rongchuan saw all this but did not express any opinion.
He had seen many ancient paintings, and a landscape painting like this was not worth his attention.
Jiuxiao led Yang Zengyue and the other two and continued to walk forward. His steps were strange. He knew that although this place seemed peaceful, it was actually full of dangers. After walking a short distance, he said, "Zengyue, follow me. Jiaer and Rongchuan stay here."
Then he added, "Zongyue, follow my steps. There can't be even the slightest mistake, otherwise you will become a sieve. Jiaer and Rongchuan, don't move where you are."
His tone didn't sound like a joke at all, and the three young men nodded seriously.
The distance from the entrance to the spring is 6.6 meters, and there are many mechanisms within this distance.
Yang Zengyue carefully memorized the order of Jiuxiao's steps, followed him, and came to the front of the spring.
When Yang Zengyue took a look, he saw that the ten-foot square spring had nine springs, and each spring represented a kind of auspicious beast.
She doesn't even recognize him!
Is she really ignorant?
At the end of the world, she saw all kinds of strange and ferocious beasts, all of which looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.
So she was able to confirm that the nine heads in the spring were auspicious beasts because these beasts looked particularly cute, with lively eyes, without any ferocity, but only an aura of kindness.
There is a huge difference in temperament between ferocious beasts and auspicious beasts.
Jiuxiao looked around. The pool was built against the wall of the room, and the thing was hidden under the water.
He confirmed the location of the spring, stood still, and then took out nine round beads of different colors from the cloth bag at his waist.
He also calculated the frequency of water bubbling up from the underground spring, and then he placed nine beads one by one into the mouth of the auspicious beast in the spring.
After all nine beads were put in, in less than three seconds, a lotus-shaped tray rose from the wall of the pool, and on it lay a black box one foot square.
Jiuxiao waited until all the water above flowed into the pool, put on gloves and wanted to go forward to take out the box, but was stopped by Yang Zengyue.
"Master, let me do it." Yang Zengyue was worried that there might be something strange about the pool, and she didn't dare to let her master take the risk.
"Okay." Jiuxiao did not try to be stubborn.
Yang Zengyue did not wade directly into the pool to get the box, as she was worried that there was a mechanism in the pool.
Instead, he took out a dozen beads from his waist and threw them out. The beads hit the wall but no mechanism appeared.
After checking that there was no danger, she threw over a few palm-sized pieces of bamboo that she always carried with her.
Then, before Jiuxiao could come to his senses and even saw her shadow, he found that she had already taken the things.
Jiuxiao's heart trembled several times, and he asked softly: "Is this the innate skill you obtained, Zengyue?"
Yang Zengyue smiled at her master, extremely confident. This wasn't even her fastest speed. "Well, in a wide field, my normal speed is six times faster than what I just did."
Yang Zengyue did not hide it.
There was nothing she couldn't say in front of her master.
Jiuxiao was curious: "What about the others?"
