Pines and cypresses are evergreen. These two trees can live for many years, but the old pine at the foot of the mountain has already withered and died, leaving only a trunk and a few branches. Half Fox didn't talk about this old pine. When I got to my front, I saw a hole at the foot of the mountain not far from the old pine that had been hidden by rocks and weeds.
The entrance of the cave was not deliberately blocked, it was just that after too long, the mud and stones washed by wind and rain accumulated here.
There is no sign at the entrance of this hole, but I can feel that this is the hole half-fox said.
In fact, I can probably guess one or two things. This cave should have been inhabited before. The jade carvings were there. Later, the owner of the cave moved away, but the jade carvings were not taken away. The jade carving was taken here, and then sent to me to the Wuxian Temple.
When I thought of this, I was somewhat lucky, and I hoped that the person who came here to take the jade carving might be careless and missed a piece.
The entrance of the cave was not blocked tightly. The original entrance of the cave can still accommodate people. This has been a place where no one has stepped in for a long time. I looked inward, because half the fox said that the things were taken away in a cave. So before I came here, I prepared torches.
I lit a torch and drilled in through the hole. This hole is a natural cave, but it has been modified. Although the cave is sunny and at the foot of the mountain, it is not humid and the air is rather dry. Walking inside, I found that the cave is actually not too small.
After entering the cave, there is a long and narrow passage. After the passage, there are small holes separated on both sides. This cave must have been resident in the past. Use this as a home. Every small hole separated has its own. Some are used to store sundries, and some are used for people to rest.
I held the torch, walked slowly, and watched slowly. When I reached the end of the row of small holes, the space was a little wider, and there were two holes on the left and right in front.
I don't know the specific situation here. I can only look back and forth from hole to hole. I first walked to the hole on the left hand side. This hole is relatively large. After entering, I saw some things left here.
Those things are home furnishings such as tables and chairs. In addition, there is a very big stone, which is like a bed, placed in the corner of the cave.
The cave was quiet and clean, but the time was too long, and everything was covered with a thick layer of dust. I gently dusted it off, and with a little force, the tables and chairs collapsed and cracked.
The thing has been left for too long, it has been completely decayed, and it shatters into dregs with a light touch. I was surprised secretly. If you judge this way, how many years ago did the owner of this cave live here
I still didn't give up, watching around carefully, and after watching for a while, I made new discoveries.
On the wall of the cave, square holes of various sizes were excavated. The square holes can be about a foot deep and can store some things inside. I took the torch and looked at it one by one, trying to see if there was anything left in it.
I still have a thought in my heart, if the last piece of jade sculpture is really lost here, then I can use it to exchange for Xiao Wuyue.
But, I put ten or so square holes for storing things
I have seen it, but I can't see anything left over.
The hole on this side was not harvested. I wanted to go to the hole on the opposite side to take a look. At this time, the torch in my hand was about to burn out, so I took another one and lit it again.
At the moment when the torches alternately turned on and off, I suddenly sensed that there seemed to be people in this cave. Actually, I didn't see anything, but the feeling in my heart was very strong.
I suddenly turned my head, under the reflection of the torch, there was a figure outside the entrance of the cave.
I was shocked. This is a cave that no one has set foot in for so many years, but when I got here, people suddenly came. I couldn't say whether it was a coincidence. I just felt my scalp numb and I was immediately ready to fight.
"My little friend, don't come here unharmed."
Just as I was hesitating, the figure began to speak, and when I heard the other's voice, I suddenly didn't know how to describe my feelings. Although this sound is not very familiar, I will never forget it.
This is obviously the voice of the middle-aged man who Xueye sent the jade carving back then. At that time, I had a conversation with the other party, and I still have an impression of his voice.
"Yes... It's you..." I walked a few steps, and when I reached the entrance of the cave, the torch was shining in the dark cave. When the fire spread out, I saw the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man with a smile, still dressed, stood there quietly, and looked at me up and down.
"My little friend, you haven't seen Tianzhen in these days." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's gratifying that the weather has entered the country so far."
"Brother!" I don't know what to say. It seems that when I was desperate, I suddenly saw hope. I walked up to the other person and said: "Brother! I happen to be looking for you for something! Unexpectedly, you really just Here!"
"I don't live here, but I'm just going out to have something. I just happened to pass by this mountainous area. I want to come and have a look. It's a coincidence that you have arrived here." The middle-aged man said, "It's always stuffy here. Let's go. Talk outside."
I followed the middle-aged man to the outside of the cave. At this time, the sky was approaching dusk, and the middle-aged man sat under the dead old pine tree and took off his baggage.
There are many messy things in his bag, and among them there is a gourd that can hold about two catties of wine. The middle-aged man took off the gourd and said, "The mouth is dry. The wine in this gourd is brewed from mountain springs by myself, and it is delicious. The little friends don't dislike it, so you might as well try it."
I took the gourd and took a sip. The wine in the gourd is rather weak, but there is also the sweetness of mountain springs and the fragrance of flowers.
However, I have no intention of drinking now.
"Brother, take the liberty to ask, the jade sculptures you gave me back then have some veins on them. Those veins are the twelve aspects of moire?"
"You can see it?"
"No, I have never known the origins and names of these contexts. Only when I was in trouble did I know the term moiré twelve elements."
I can’t hide that the middle-aged person is the person involved. If I ask others to do something, I have to tell the truth. I told myself and Liangzi of Longhuzong and what happened the other day.
.
"Brother, the other party wants a complete moiré twelve phases, but now it is missing one piece, brother, please, anyway, tell me where the last piece of jade carving is."
"The last jade carving was gone many years ago." The middle-aged man said: "The twelve aspects of the cloud pattern contain all the truths of the world. If you can fully comprehend it, you will be able to reach the sky, my friend, you should know. There is no perfect way in this world, and it is impossible to have a perfect Taoism experience."
What a middle-aged person means, I probably understand that time is indeed impossible to have perfect things. Because the twelve aspects of the moire cover everything, it is not perfect after all, and the sky has been ** long ago. But nothing exists.
When I heard this, my heart was cold. If I can't find the missing aspect, what kind of fate will Xiao Wuyue have
However, I can't tell whether the middle-aged person is telling the truth, and I am already full of curiosity about his origin and the origin of the jade carving master.
"Little friend, I still say that. There are many things, not that I don't want to say, but I don't know. Your business is indeed a bit tricky." The middle-aged man took a sip of wine slowly and said, "I am nothing. The great sage, but his mind was confused before, and he wanted to learn everything when he saw everything. After so many years, he learned a mess of things, which is so complicated and not good enough to be mentioned. However, I can see that you have the imprint of longevity. , And has been broken, the longevity seal does not exist, it will affect your fate. Your fate itself is very poor, without the protection of the longevity seal, the fate will also affect your children and grandchildren. Your child, from the moment of birth, is doomed Bad fate."
"Yes..." As soon as I heard what the other party said, what he said was about the same as what the fortune teller said, and I admired the middle-aged people a little bit more. After all, the fortune teller is very familiar with me, gets along day and night, and stays with Xiao Wuyue from time to time. This is the reason why the middle-aged person met me peacefully. This time it was only the second side, but he saw so much.
"In this way, this is the calamity that a child should have."
"Then... Then there is no way!" For so many days, my heart has been in my throat. When the middle-aged person said this, I suddenly couldn't accept it.
But if I can’t accept it, what can I do? Sovereign Dragon and Tiger specified the twelve aspects of cloud patterns, but the middle-aged said that the missing aspect disappeared many years ago.
How can I find something that there is no such thing in the world
My emotions became turbulent again, and in an instant, countless thoughts occurred in my mind. If I can't find the missing aspect, I can only bite the bullet and go to Dragon Tiger Sect.
"Many things in the world are determined in the dark. Whatever the cause, there will be any result." The middle-aged man said: "Little friend, if you can trust me, just listen to me."
"Brother, you say."
"You go home with peace of mind and don't run around about it anymore."
"Then my child..."
"If your child shouldn't be dead, he will go back sooner or later. If it's destined, then you can't go against the sky alone. Hear my advice, go back first. If you run around like this, you will pay for it. in trouble."
My heart is in a state of confusion, but the middle-aged man's words have been very clear, and I don't know if I should listen to his advice.
