The cave of Chanyi Old Toad is located on the top of Meishan Mountain. It is an excellent place for feng shui with yin and yang, and it is also one of the places with the most aura in the whole Yunnan Province. Those caves and blessed places recorded in the classics are not weak at all.
At first, Chen Xian had imagined what Chanyi Dongfu would look like.
Just an ordinary cave
Or the kind of temple hidden in the mountains to draw incense and worship
Facts have proved that Chen Xian was wrong.
Chan Yi, that particular old toad would not live in an ordinary place. Its cave is a six-storey ancient building made of solid wood. There are two obvious elevator entrances on the side of the entrance on the first floor. The place is still lit with faint blue lights, which should be in normal operation. There is a red wooden fence around the ancient building, and several flower beds and medicine gardens are surrounded in the open space. You can smell the fragrance of flowers and plants and the smell of certain medicinal materials.
There are many small red lanterns hanging on the quiet corridor walls on each floor. They are like ancient horse racing palace lanterns. They are simple and exquisite in shape and well-made. The burning of the flames and the heat waves of the air continuously push the six sides of the lantern to rotate, and each side depicts a rare monster in myths and legends, such as the whale bone dragon who was born in the sea and died in the sea, and the man who was born in Qingshan and loved the sound of the flute. Facing cows, four horses wandering in the Dead Sea desert, Di Toutuo living in ancient temples in the wilderness...
These abnormal lives only exist in ancient legends. They may have really appeared in this world, but there is no witness record about them in the past hundred years.
These horse-racing lanterns are hung on every corridor of the ancient building. From the first floor to the sixth floor, there are thousands of lanterns lit up, and the picture of each horse-racing lantern is unique and never repeated...
"What a nice view… "
Xu Yanan led Mu He and stood beside Chen Xian, raised her head and quietly looked at the ancient pavilion.
The sky above Chanyi Cave Mansion is still as bright as before, the sky is full of bright stars that can be seen at a glance, the Milky Way across the sky hangs high for nine days, and the cold moonlight pours down in the mountains and forests without any scruples, perhaps it is attracted by these moonlights, The fireflies that only come out at night gradually began to move.
Thousands of fireflies circled and danced around Master Chan's cave and pavilions. Their lives, which would disappear in a month at most, seemed extraordinarily long at this moment, as if even time had been stopped in the sky filled with fireflies...
"Chen Xian, Chen Xian! What are those dots of light flying in the sky!"
"firefly."
Chen Xian replied without turning his head, and suddenly raised his hand lightly, black light metal gushed out from his palm, and instantly turned into dozens of metal bodies like branches and branches, and began to climb continuously until reaching nearly ten At a height of about one meter, they stopped extending and stood quietly in the air like branches.
Perhaps feeling the strange vitality of the black light metal, many fireflies began to fly to the branches made of metal, as if they wanted to rest on this black tree. The scene of hundreds of thousands of fireflies flowing was like a dream, It only reminded Chen Xian of the poem he had seen in the book.
When the rain hits the lights, the lights are hard to extinguish, and when the wind blows, the colors are brighter.
If it doesn't go up to the sky, it will be a star on the edge of the moon.
It seems that the analogy made by the ancients is really correct. In this bright night, these fluorescent lights flowing in the forest are really as bright as the stars in the sky.
"Why can we see stars here?" Mr. Skeleton looked at the sky suspiciously, then turned his face and asked Chen Xian curiously, "We can't see stars at the foot of the mountain, but we can see them here, what's going on? "
"There are too many abnormal beings dormant in the mountains. The particle energy they emit...is what they call yin qi. When the yin qi is strong, it will gather into a cloudy mist. When a large area of cloudy mist appears, it will rise into clouds with the mountain wind. The night sky below the mountain is blocked by these clouds, only here is cleaner... it should have something to do with Master Chan being here."
Chen Xian replied softly, slowly closing the branches extended by him, looking at the hundreds of fireflies, there was always a trace of memory in his eyes, because he clearly remembered that when his grandfather was alive, every summer he would Take yourself to the mountains near Ningchuan for vacation, and every time you will see those fireflies that only appear in summer nights...
Looking at the fluorescent lights all over the sky at this moment, Chen Xian couldn't help being touched by the scene.
I thought of those distant Midsummer Nights that seemed like yesterday.
I remembered the old man who had been afraid to recall.
The fireflies resting on the metal branches were not alarmed by Chen Xian, and they didn't seem to be afraid of these alien humans. They didn't gasp until they were about to land on the ground, and they all flew out, like a burst of summer fireworks.
"What beautiful bugs! Chen Xian, let's catch some and bring them back to the yard!" Mu He held Chen Xian's arm and jumped up and down, excited like a child.
"Don't think about it." Chen Xian said softly, raising his hand to caress Mu He's soft black hair, "They only belong to the real forest, not the steel forest like the city, and they won't be able to support them if they are brought back."
"Oh..." Mu He was a little disappointed, looking helplessly at the fireflies circling and dancing in the sky, and muttered in his mouth, "Then we will come here often to see them, and we won't see them in the city..."
Chen Xian nodded and said yes, although he doesn't like to go out and only likes to stay at home, but if he is allowed to come to this kind of deep mountains and old forests for rest and vacation, he is still very willing.
The paper figurine who led the way stood quietly aside from the beginning to the end. Even though Chen Xian and the others had wasted nearly five minutes downstairs, it didn't seem to be urging, with a kind and friendly smile on its pale face, especially when it heard Chen Xian After they marveled at the castle in the mountain, the smile on the paper man's face became brighter, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Sorry, I wasted a little time." Chen Xian suddenly woke up and turned around, remembering that he came to Meishan this time with important things to do, so he hurriedly said to the paper figurine who led the way, "Let's go see Master Chan first."
The paper figurine nodded, respectfully leading the way for everyone.
"this way please."
The paper figurine took Chen Xian and the others to the elevator on the side of the wooden building, and the journey was smooth until the elevator on the top floor of the pavilion stopped slowly.
Get out of the elevator and walk through the long corridor.
The paper figurine brought Chen Xian and the others out of the room at the deepest part of the corridor, and it stopped there, only opening the door for everyone more respectfully.
"Everyone, please, the master is inside."
The size of this room is not small, at least the size of two or three basketball courts. There are two rows of candles flickering red on the left and right, and there is no other furniture except the candlesticks. It is quite empty and shabby. .
In the deepest part of the room, Chen Xian could vaguely see by the dim candlelight... There lay a toad that was two or three meters tall.
"Brother Chen, I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming the distinguished guest at the door..."
Master Chan's voice was still so friendly, but it didn't sound as natural as in Yinshi. There was a faint air of depression between his words, and the volume sounded a bit wrong.
At this moment, the smell of Yin Qi particles in the air was extremely strong, but apart from this almost pungent smell, Chen Xian could also smell a faint smell of blood.
"Master Chan, I met something at the foot of the mountain... It's too late."
"It's late, but it's not too late."
Chanyi old toad smiled, his voice became a little hoarse, as if he still felt weak.
"Brother Chen, I have limited mobility... Please come closer."
Chen Xian nodded, as if he had realized something, his face became a little heavy, and he led the crowd forward for a while in silence.
Finally, he stopped at a position about ten meters away from Master Chan. This position was just right, at least not far away, so that he could at least see the huge figure of Master Quan Chan at a glance.
Sure enough, as Chen Xian expected.
Chanyi was injured.
Its left and right hind legs are wrapped in sackcloth exuding a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. There are many exposed wounds on its back and sides. Maybe it was a little bit too big to greet everyone before, and many of the wounds were covered by it. It ruptured accidentally, and strangely colored blood slowly flowed out with a strong bloody smell, but Chan Yi didn't seem to know the pain, and a humane smile appeared on his face.
Seeing Chen Xian's arrival, Chan Yi smiled happily, from the bottom of his heart.
Because it has unconditional trust in the old liar Ge Ci, since Chen Xian, who personally spoke up as a guarantor, can solve Meishan's problem, then Chen Xian will definitely be able to solve the problem and save Meishan.
"Brother Chen, we Meishan people really want to ask you this time, Meishan can't die..."
