Infinite Myth Counterattack

Chapter 282 Secret Road Entrance
After dinner, the night had fallen, and the round and big moon rose above the branches, and the moonlight cast a little light through the gaps. The trees not far away became inexplicably hideous under the moonlight.

On an open space in the Duan Chong Dao, the tents were neatly arranged. The soldiers and bandits who had trekked for a day were already asleep. Chen Yulou, Luo Changfeng, Luo Laowai and other high-level officials were sitting together to discuss matters.

Luo Changfeng said: "I'm afraid we have to prepare a lot of wood. There are poisonous miasma blocking the way on the surface. It is impossible for those worshipers to fly over from the sky, so the secret way can only be underground."

"And the water veins here are well developed, combined with the setting of the dike wall, the underground secret passage may be an underground river."

Partridge Whistle agreed: "Brother Luo's words are very true. What a huge project it was when King Xian built the tomb of King Xian. It would be much easier if there was a river to transport building materials, so the secret road is likely to be a river. "

Luo Lao said crookedly: "No problem, the rope we brought is enough, and there is no shortage of trees in this forest, but I don't know if the entrance is big enough, if it is not big enough, we have to carry the wood into the secret passage before making the raft gone."

Chen Yulou said: "This is not a problem. We still have to find the entrance before we can decide what to do next. It's getting late today, everyone, let's get some rest early!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then got up and went back to the tent to sleep. Now the conditions are limited, and there is no way to guarantee a tent for each person. Except for the two girls who occupy the same tent, the others are five or six people.

The next morning, after solving personal problems and having breakfast, the team set off again.

Coming here, there are already many reference objects for comparison. Although there are many plants in the jungle, the second and third insect-cutting roads laid with insect-repelling secret medicine were discovered not long after.

Because in this deep valley, it is sheltered from wind and rain, and the insect repellant contains a lot of nitrate, so no grass grows on the ground.

When the valley reaches here, the terrain has become more and more open, showing a trumpet shape, and there is already a faint light smoke and mist in front of it. The deeper you go, the thicker the white mist becomes.

Looking around, the valley in front is completely covered by clouds and mist, and there is a dead silence inside, without any insects, birds, or wind and grass. That is the so-called poisonous miasma.

But they didn't need to go there at all. The team had already arrived at the foot of the mountain on the left side of the valley. This place had deviated from the Snake Creek by a long distance, but it was almost in the middle of the three broken insect walls.

Walking and walking, suddenly a bush beside him trembled suddenly, everyone was startled, no one touched the lush flowers and plants, and there was no wind, why did the bush move by itself?
The soldiers immediately raised their guns and aimed at the bushes. A guard with a submachine gun "clicked" and loaded it, and was about to sweep the bushes, but Luo Laowai didn't stop him.

After carefully observing the shrub, Hua Ling quickly said, "Don't be nervous, this is a dancing plant. It is usually listless. Once it is disturbed by people or animals passing by, it will act as if it is dancing. I heard it But the characteristic of moving is harmless to people.”

Flower Spirit is the one who knows the most about flowers and plants. Since she said so, it is probably okay. The hearts of everyone are finally relieved.

The big clump of dancing grass trembled like a grass ghost, and gradually divided into two clumps, after which half of a big fiery red gourd was revealed.

The fiery red gourd was carved out of stone, more than three feet high, smooth and bright red like fire.

If it had been erected here 2000 years ago, the sea might have turned into mulberry fields with the passage of time, but this stone gourd seems to have just been completed.

Chen Yulou and the others were amazed that it was so brightly colored, which was a bit strange. When they pushed aside the clump of dancing grass, and took a closer look, they realized that red ocher was used as raw material.

Ochre is a natural fiery red color, and the earliest red dye was made by adding ocher powder.

This stone-carved gourd was also coated with a layer of insect-repellent material on the surface, so that weeds and vines grew nearby and avoided it.

For so many years, it has been placed alone in an inconspicuous corner of this valley.

Partridge Whistle asked strangely: "Why not a statue of toad, but a gourd? If we want to fully release the shape and potential of this water dragon vein Fengshui treasure cave, we should build an altar or an ancestral temple here. , is the truth."

Chen Yulou thought for a while, and ordered loudly: "Everyone, in groups of three, spread out and search around to see if there are any buildings."

"Yes."

The bandits from Xiling and the soldiers from the Juezi camp dispersed and searched around. Within a minute, someone shouted: "Boss, Luo Shuai, there is a temple here."

Everyone was refreshed when they heard the words, and they quickly walked in the direction of the sound.

On the rugged and steep mountain wall at the edge of the valley, countless vines hang down, all of which are covered by the vines within three steps, and the scene behind the vines cannot be seen.

At this time, the vines blocking the road had been cleared away by the swordsmen. Chen Yulou and the others saw at a glance that ten feet away, under the cover of countless vines, facing the red stone gourd, there was a place dedicated to the mountain god. temple.

The temple was built on the central axis of the mountain behind it, using a wedge-shaped large wooden frame structure, divided into two entrances, front and rear. The front facade is entwined with vines, and some tiles have collapsed.

Although the green tiles on the top and the carved and painted beams are all dilapidated, because this is the hole of the water dragon vein, which can store wind and gather energy, it still retains the general framework.

The several layers of broken insect paths on the mountain wall have lost their function due to changes in water and soil, so although the wood of the temple is rotten, it is still not falling down, which can be regarded as a miracle.

This quaint building dedicated to the mountain god stands quietly in the corner of this lonely and lonely valley, and has passed through endless years safely.

It's just that I don't know what the red stone gourd placed in front of the temple is for, it may be related to this mountain god.

The ancients believed that the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth all had gods in charge, and every mountain and every river was the same. However, according to different customs, geographical environments, and cultural backgrounds, the faces of the gods were also different.

Chen Yulou, Partridge Whistle and others went into the temple, but Luo Changfeng led others to stay outside. He knew that there was no danger inside, and with Partridge Whistle, he would definitely find the mechanism that opened the entrance of the secret passage in the temple. It needs to be calculated by Tianxing Fengshui, and the mechanism can be cracked soon.

Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour after the group went in, the big red gourd split in two with a burst of noise, revealing a stone door underneath.

The stone gate was repaired in the shape of a toad's big mouth, flat and short, also made of fiery red ochre, with some simple patterns engraved on it, and two large copper rings on the left and right, which can be pulled upwards.
