Chapter 166: The Elegant and Romantic Celebrities, Chapter 12
Xiao Hao put away his treasure-hunting shovel, casually brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, and asked the ascetic monk, "Is this the place?"
"..." The ascetic monk stared at the green cave entrance for a long time, and was speechless for a moment.
Is this person named Xiao Hao... really a returning envoy?
He was not originally a member of the old tribe, but by chance, he had received a favor from the old tribe in the Western Regions and owed them something, so he agreed to guard the ruins of Guangmingding here.
After all, it was a founding religion, with a large family and great wealth. He used the financial resources of his old subordinates to build such a mysterious white stone house here, collecting the secrets of various heroes and celebrities in the world, and collecting everything about Chu Liuxiang. His old subordinates were busy fighting against the Western Demon Cult and had no time to care about him, so they acquiesced to his behavior.
The matter of the Qiu Shui Chang Tian Ring was a hot topic in the world, and he had long expected that someone would find this place soon, either Lu Xiaofeng or the world-famous scholar Xiao.
It was his responsibility that the Qiu Shui Chang Tian Ring was taken away. He wanted to take this opportunity to recover the ring and return it to his old subordinates, but he didn't expect that these three people didn't even carry the token with them.
The last time he saw such a cave entrance, a mysterious man with extraordinary martial arts skills ran out of it, and before he could react, such a cave entrance disappeared. There
are no more than five people in the world who can reach the level of martial arts of that man.
The ascetic monk later learned that it was at that time that the Qiu Shui Chang Tian Ring was brought out from the dusty secret and exposed to the public.
However, even if the disciples of the Ming Cult dug three feet deep in the place where the cave entrance appeared many times later, they could not dig out anything. The ascetic monk himself tried it, and in the end he could only accept their saying that "only those who are recognized by the Ming Zun can see the holy realm."
Before the establishment of the Ming Cult, there was a son of the Ming Zun who came from Persia. He was born with heterochromatic pupils and was called "Ritian" by the world. He always has a special cat with him, and the ascetic monk has seen their portraits in old books.
The moment Xiao Hao held Qiuqiu out, the ascetic monk recognized it immediately.
Cats are not rare animals, but there is only one cat that looks like this in the world. The Ming Cult also had a cat-loving angel, and he had never seen a second cat like this in the Western Regions. Although there are cats with similar appearances in Persia, those with heterochromatic eyes are very rare, and they are not as smart as the Son of God.
The Ming Cult has a vague idea that this special cat is a manifestation of the spirit of the Ming Zun. The ascetic monk can see that Qiuqiu is quick to react and has a noble and gorgeous temperament. He is not the kind of cat with heterochromatic eyes but hearing loss.
He looked down along the circular hole, and saw endless stairs extending into the darkness. He felt very complicated.
The entrance to the holy land was opened by the chosen one, and he might leave here. But the purpose of building this stone house has not been achieved.
"Well, since you have dug it out, let's go in and find what you are looking for."
Xiao Hao thought for a while, and invited with a faint smile: "Master, why don't you join us?" He could see that the ascetic monk was also very curious about this treasure cave.
The ascetic monk hesitated and said: "According to the law, only the leader of the sect can enter."
Xiao Hao said "Oh", and then asked: "Master, are you a member of the sect?"
"...No."
"So what does it matter if we respect the rules or not?"
The ascetic monk laughed, his laughter was hoarse and unpleasant: "Since Master Xiao is so kind, I'd better obey your command."
Xiao Hao casually put the ball on the ground, took off the zither behind him and held it in his hands, walked in front and said: "Let's go, in a quarter of an hour this cave entrance will be gone."
Mu Daoren's expression was gloomy, and he followed first, and at the same time He turned back to Lu Xiaofeng and said, "Lu Xiaofeng, let's make a bet. Before you come out of here, no one can look at the scroll in your hand. If you haven't looked at it before you come out, I will give you a hundred bottles of aged wine."
Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows and said, "The scroll is in my hand. What if you refuse to pay me?"
Mu Daoren laughed and said, "You can give it to Master Xiao for safekeeping."
"It seems that you really value this secret." Lu Xiaofeng pondered for a moment, caught up with Xiao Hao, and made a face: "Okay, I'll play this bet with you, but the bet needs to be changed. I've been drinking the wine of Master Xiao recently, and I don't like any good wine. How about the loser dig a thousand earthworms, do 360 somersaults in a row, and shout 'I am a turtle bastard' three times? How about that?"
"..." Xiao Hao looked at Lu Xiaofeng beside him expressionlessly, "Are all bets between you friends so... difficult to explain?"
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Then I'll let him take off his pants and let me slap him 200 times. In the future, he must call me Master Lu when he sees me?"
Xiao Hao was silent for a while, took the file in his hand, put it in the package and said, "So you hate him."
Lu Xiaofeng laughed, "You don't hate him now, but it's hard to say in the future."
The three of them entered the treasure cave one after another. The ascetic monk looked at the wooden table behind him and soon followed him in.
The entrance of the cave still did not disappear. After they had been in for a long time, a dark shadow arrived in front of the cave.
Qiuqiu tilted his little head and "meowed" at him, but he ignored it and stepped into the cave without hesitation.
When the fifth person entered the cave, the entrance to the house disappeared.
The ground was as flat as before, without any trace of having been dug. Qiuqiu licked his paws obediently and silently guarded the place where the cave disappeared.

As soon as he entered the secret passage of Guangmingding, Xiao Hao's familiar things came back to his mind.
When Shi Zhixuan disappeared, he had carefully investigated here. In this world, no one knew the big and small mechanisms inside and outside the secret passage better than him. I don’t know if it’s because it has been sealed for many years and no one has entered, so everything here is no different from hundreds of years ago.
Entering this secret passage is his home court.
They walked through a long passage, and at the end of the passage was an uneven stone wall, which seemed to be integrated with the surroundings. If Xiao Hao had not known that there was another world behind this, he would have thought that the road ended here.
Xiao Hao's Changge martial arts was not a way of strength and violence. This huge stone could only be pushed by people with deep internal strength or who practiced superior martial arts. Although he had internal strength, he could not use it in front of this stone door. Mu Daoren saw that he was not strong enough, walked over and stretched out his palm to push, and then slowly pushed the stone door back, revealing the true appearance inside.
Xiao Hao did not care and continued to walk in front.
He leisurely used the Xiangzhi Heart Method, and after deliberately touching the mechanism many times without dodging, he was dragged to the back by Lu Xiaofeng.
Taoist Mu snorted coldly, stared at Xiao Hao and said, "Mr. Xiao, why are you in such a hurry to die? Even if you don't want the treasure to end up in the hands of the poor, you don't have to be so aggressive."
Lu Xiaofeng was also nervous and sweating. He took good care of Xiao Hao and said, "Sir, if you die here, Brother Shi will definitely settle accounts with me."
Only the ascetic monk looked at Xiao Hao coldly and said nothing.
Xiao Hao said calmly, "I already noticed it when I touched the mechanism."
This was true, and he deliberately didn't dodge, but to Lu Xiaofeng and the others, it was a typical case of the body not keeping up with the brain's reaction.
Scholar Xiao has been busy in the palace all year round, so his martial arts skills as a civil official are certainly not that high. In addition, he couldn't even push a huge rock just now. This weak scholar has been subconsciously regarded by his companions as the one who is most likely to be killed.
Xiao Hao did not explain much. He said to them with a stern face, as if he was lecturing the little emperor as usual: "There are many forks in the road here, but there is a pattern to follow. Look at these forks in the road. They seem ordinary, but in fact
they coincide with the directions of Fuxi's sixty-four hexagrams..." Before he finished speaking, there was another sound of a mechanism triggering. The narrow corridor rumbled and shook. Something was approaching rapidly. Xiao Hao stopped talking, looked at the three of them, and immediately ran away together.
The huge rock rumbled behind them, and Xiao Hao shouted as he ran, "Go left!"
Mu Dao Ren immediately turned into the fork in the road in front of him. However, this fork was rugged and uneven, not only rising and falling, but also getting narrower and narrower. Mu Dao Ren used all his strength to move forward in the spiral corridor, but suddenly stepped into the air.
At the end of the corridor was a deep well!
Mu Dao Ren cursed Xiao Hao in his heart, steadied his body, and finally landed and stood still. He heard the sound of clothes rustling in the corridor, and Lu Xiaofeng rode on him, hitting Mu Dao Ren dizzy.
Xiao Hao fell down soon after, but he was very familiar with this place. When he was about to land, he jumped forward first, passed the two of them steadily, and landed in a wide open space.
The ascetic monk was the last one. In the dim light, the fire in Lu Xiaofeng's hand also went out. He judged Xiao Hao's position from the sound of the wind and immediately jumped towards him.
Xiao Hao bumped into him, and suddenly realized something at this moment, so he whispered in his ear: "Master should be a person as bright as the moon in the hearts of the people in the martial arts world, but why did you choose such a path for yourself."
The ascetic monk's body stiffened slightly and he got out of his hand. "Your Excellency, be careful with your words."
Taoist Mu climbed out of the deep well with a dusty face. The rumbling sound in the tunnel continued. Lu Xiaofeng's face suddenly changed and she shouted in shock: "Not good!"
The rolling boulder hit them on the head. Taoist Mu immediately raised his hand high and supported the falling boulder with Lu Xiaofeng, so that they were not smashed into a pulp.
But the rumbling sound still did not stop. Another boulder fell. Taoist Mu and Lu Xiaofeng's elbows softened and they almost lost it. The two hillock-like boulders pressed their internal organs to the point of bursting. Their faces turned red and they had already suffered serious internal injuries.
Suddenly, a cluster of soft green lights lit up in the darkness. The simple and clear sound of the piano floated in the corridor. Lu Xiaofeng looked at Xiao Hao, who was holding the piano, in surprise. His limbs and bones were extremely comfortable in the sound of the piano, and the blocked blood in his chest was also relieved very quickly.
But corresponding to this comfort was the torture of the ears. The monotonous and rigid "Duang" sound was rough and mocking, unbearable to the ears. It was simply... driving people crazy.
In order to prevent Mu Dao Ren from seeing that he had deliberately let him go, Xiao Hao immediately gave Mu Dao Ren another piano resonance. Mu Dao Ren's body-protecting internal energy suddenly disappeared completely and was transferred to Xiao Hao.
Xiao Hao cried out "Ah", and said apologetically: "Master, your martial arts are different from Brother Lu's. Using my unique method to treat you will do more harm than good. You weren't hurt by me
, right?" Taoist Mu was hurt even more, and he couldn't say anything. With the help of Xiao Hao's skill light, he and Lu Xiaofeng looked at each other and evacuated from the bottom of the deep well at the same time. Two huge rocks fell to the ground with a bang, and fine mud and ash fell down.
Lu Xiaofeng re-ignited the fire stick, and Xiao Hao pointed to the front and said to Taoist Mu in a friendly manner: "Master
, do you want to continue exploring the way?" The author has something to say: Lu Xiaoji: My weak sir, don't rush in front, this secret passage is dangerous, you let T do it.
Mu Dao Ren [face T does not want to talk]: ...
Xiao Hao then grabbed Lu Xiaoji's claws.
Ri Tian: Powerless?
Lu Xiaoji: Σ(っ°Д °;)っ? !
Mu Dao Ren: ... Are you happy to play a joke, can you give me a bite?
Ri Tian: Haha, releasing is good.

Yesterday I saw many babies asking the ascetic monk_(:з」∠)_
The following is a small popular science:
The ascetic monk is from the last unit of Chu Liuxiang, "Midnight Orchid".
He built a Chu Liuxiang Research Library [Mist] in Kunlun, which records Chu Liuxiang's life and various details that others know and don't know. He planned the moth operation with the purpose of luring out Chu Liuxiang, who was said to be dead, and killing him.
There are obvious clues in the original book that the ascetic monk is Mr. Lanhua.
What is certain is that he knows Chu Liuxiang very well and has a good relationship with Chu Liuxiang. He is either a close friend or a confidante, and he has extraordinary financial resources and may even be related to the royal family.
But the identity of Mr. Lanhua has always been a mystery, and Gu Long has not explained it. Book friends have guessed who it is. Most people guess it is Su Rongrong [there are also misleadings in film and television], and there are also those who guess Wuhua, Li Hongxiu, Murong Qingcheng, Lin Huanyu, Zhang Jiejie... and so on, each has their reasons, and each has their own reasons.
As for this one in the text, Ritian said that he has two names in his mind, and they are people he knew when he was a monk.
Who is he... Let's ask Gu Long 23333333! 【Lift the pot lid

The plot in my mind has already flown to a thousand places, but I still have to move forward step by step when writing_(:з」∠)_
I said before that there will be a wave of extra chapters after the new year, so I will save the manuscript for you to vomit~
