The cave below is similar in size to the stone chambers above. The difference is that the cave below is not carefully carved or built. It is just an area dug out of the mountain. To the north is a stone statue with something placed underneath. There is an incense table. There are many utensils placed on the incense table. On the left is a stone niche bookshelf with a large number of bamboo slips and stone slabs covered with dust. Tables, chairs and other living utensils are located in the right area. There seems to be a passage on the right side of the cave. Since there is no When we went down to the cave, we were not sure whether the right side of the cave was a passage or just slightly concave in the mountain.
The lotus stone group they mentioned is located in the center of the cave, to the south of the incense table, and is somewhat similar to a small mill for rolling rice. Naturally, this object is not used for rolling rice, but a seat for people to sit cross-legged. Taoists believe that jade has spirituality and can be used in daily life. However, after Buddhism was introduced to the East, this kind of throne decorated with lotus petals was rarely used by Taoist priests.
The lotus stone group may also be a jade group. There is no clear distinction between the jade and the beauty of the stone. Nanfeng was born in a humble background and did not recognize jade. He only regarded it as a stone. There is a petal on the south side of the stone group. There were obvious blood stains on it.
The blood stain was left by friction, and it was obvious that it had dried. The reason why Yuan Anning determined that it was fresh blood was not to look at whether it was dry or wet, but to identify its color. Fresh blood was red, while old blood was black.
Seeing the blood stains, Nanfeng immediately thought of Gao Pingsheng. If there was really a passage on the right side of the cave, its direction should be leading to the area where the mountain collapsed. Gao Pingsheng might have taken another passage, but the two passages were probably connected. of.
But after thinking about it, he immediately ruled out this possibility. He had found a rice bag on the way here. There were blood stains on the rice bag. The location of the rice bag was three to five miles away from the collapse area. Only the self-destruction of San Gong could explain it. The blood stain on the rice bag and where it was located.
Since it wasn't Gao Pingsheng, then who was it that left the blood stains
Feeling doubtful in his mind, Nan Feng became cautious and stepped down.
As soon as he took a step forward, Yuan Anning reached out and held him.
Nanfeng turned around, and Yuan Anning shook his head at him, indicating that he should not act rashly.
Nan Feng looked at Yuan An Ning, then looked down at the sleeve held by Yuan An Ning, then raised his hand to break away from her and continued descending.
Nanfeng didn't know whether Yuan Anning felt embarrassed or not, because he didn't look back, but he felt comfortable and evened up.
There were sixty or seventy steps going down. When they found blood stains, they walked to the center and went down another dozen steps. Nanfeng stopped. From here, they could clearly see the details in the cave.
Due to being closed for many years, the ground was covered with dust. The purpose of his descent was to look for possible footprints. But what surprised and puzzled him was that there were indeed traces of friction on the ground, but they were not footprints, but some weird traces. , there are three traces, with a curved and continuous indentation in the middle, and the impressions on both sides are slightly scattered, like bird paw prints.
"What's left?" Yuan Anning asked in a low voice.
Nanfeng shook his head. No matter what it was that left the mark, it was certain that the thing was not big. There were two marks in total, one from right to left and one from left to right. From this we can see that the thing It was entered from the passage on the right, and then turned back after staying in the cave.
"Could it be a lizard?" Yuan Anning guessed.
"It could also be snakes and insects." Nanfeng said.
No matter what kind of alien it is, as long as it is not big, there is nothing to fear, at least Nanfeng thinks so. After a short stay, he takes another step and walks downwards.
The first thing he did after going down to the cave was not to look for tortoise shells, but to look to the right. He had guessed correctly before. There was indeed a passage on the right side of the cave. The passage was as high as a person and about five feet wide. There was an entrance to the passage. The thick iron gate of evil gold has been severely deformed and bulged inward. There is a gap in the lower right corner. The gap is probably caused by the falling and squeezing of rocks. You can see a corner of the rock opposite the iron gate, and some of the cracks in the gap. The blood stains also confirmed his guess that the alien came to this cave from the opposite side of the passage.
No matter what it was that left the blood stains, it was certain that it was not big and was injured, so it would not pose a threat to the two of them.
After confirming this, Nanfeng returned his sight and walked towards the stone statue on the north side.
"Which path of immortality is this?" Yuan Anning stood where he was and did not follow.
"Jade Qing Yuanshi Tianzun." Nanfeng said. As a member of the Taoist sect, he naturally recognized the statue of the founder of the Three Qing Dynasties.
While talking, Nanfeng walked to the incense table on the south side of the stone statue. In addition to the incense burner and candlesticks, there were many utensils on the incense table.
The incense burner is in the center, and on the left is a fluorene board, about a foot long and two inches wide, with a golden luster. It is obvious that it is made of gold. He has seen similar things in the stone chamber of Taiyin Mountain. This fluorene board is similar to The one from Taiyin Mountain is very similar. It also has two sides, with cloud patterns on the back and a six-character tripod inscription on the front. The first four are unrecognizable, and the last two are also real people.
On the left side of the fluorene plate is a rectangular gold plate. The upper part of the gold plate is carved with a dragon head, and the lower part is an inscription area with more than a hundred small characters. This kind of vessel-shaped thing is often seen in royal awards, and usually records the reasons for the reward.
He had been to the secluded places of other Taoists before and found fluorene plates there, but this was the first time he saw this gold plate. It can be seen that the Taoist who lived here at that time should be the leader of the nine people, so he If you can keep this thing, you have to take it away and study it slowly after you go out. Once you learn the tripod text, you can know what happened back then.
On the right side of the incense burner are two boxes, one large and one small. The small one is a wooden box, square in shape, less than one foot high and wide. The larger one is a copper box, which is slightly larger than the wooden box and is also square.
How long wood can be preserved has something to do with the environment it is in, but the main thing depends on what kind of wood it is. Although this wooden box has lasted for thousands of years, it is still well preserved. If you wipe off the dust on it, you can see the Tai Chi pattern on the lid. The Tai Chi pattern on the lid of the box is not a mechanism, but a decoration inlaid with white jade and black jade. It seems simple and unpretentious, but in fact it hides nobility.
Carefully taking off the lid of the box, the contents of the wooden box were revealed. The first thing he saw was the bamboo slips. After untying it, he found that there were many inscriptions on the bamboo slips. He probably knew more than ten inscriptions on the inscriptions on the inscriptions. No, of course I couldn’t understand it, so I put down the bamboo slip and looked at what was inside.
Yuan Anning was curious, "What's in it?"
Nanfeng turned around after hearing the sound and saw Yuan Anning still standing in the distance, "Why are you so far away?"
"I'm a little tired." Yuan Anning took a step back and sat down on the bottom step.
Seeing her like this, Nanfeng understood that Yuan Anning had always stood there to avoid suspicion, and his unspoken intention was not to touch anything in the cave.
"Come and take a look." Nan Feng waved to Yuan An Ning.
Yuan Anning shook his head and refused to go.
Seeing that she didn't come, Nan Feng reached out and picked up the wooden box.
While picking up the wooden box, I vaguely heard a subtle clicking sound coming from the copper box on the right. If I listened carefully, it was gone.
After waiting for a while but no movement, Nanfeng came back with the wooden box, sat on the steps and took out the contents of the wooden box one by one, "This guy might have been a carpenter before he started practicing Taoism..."
