Yin Yang Fu Mo Lu

Chapter 712

Zhang Tianci didn't know much about the grudges between the Eight Immortals and the Five Sects and the Maoshan Sect, so he asked, "Was the hatred deep in the past?"

"There is some hatred, but the Maoshan faction did not kill anyone! They just defeated them in a battle of wits and made them lose face. Now Wei Guanjie uses his killing move whenever he shows up, which is really too much!" Dou Biqiang said.

Zhang Tianci thought for a while and said: "Senior Dou, let's make arrangements. When ready, I will enter the Immortal Cave immediately. However, I'm afraid this second round of competition will be delayed again."

"That's okay. I'll just say that the arrangements haven't been completed yet and just ask everyone to wait for notification. Anyway, there are only a few people who have passed the first round." Dou Biqiang said.

Zhang Tianci nodded, returned to the guest room, meditated and rested, waiting for departure.

Soon it was getting dark.

Dou Biqiang came with two young Taoist priests and invited Zhang Tianci to set off to the Immortal Cave.

Maoshan Immortal Cave is also a very magical place. The cave is divided into three sections and is several kilometers long. The lower cave and the middle cave are open to tourists, but the upper cave is not open. It is a place for Maoshan disciples to retreat and practice.The Immortal Cave that Dou Biqiang mentioned refers to the Shangdong Cave.

There is another entrance and exit in the upper hole, which can basically be regarded as an independent space.

Zhang Tianci followed Dou Biqiang to the Immortal Cave.Su Su, Jin Siyu and others stayed in the guest room of Xuyun Temple.Because Xianren Cave is a forbidden area in Maoshan, it is not convenient for Susu and Jin Siyu to accompany them.

The entrance to the cave is very hidden, hidden behind the woods on the mountainside and blocked by rocks.

Dou Biqiang set up an incense table at the entrance of the cave, knelt down and prayed, moved the rock secret door, and said, "Master, I'm done with your work."

"You're welcome. I'll try my best and hope I can complete the task." Zhang Tianci said.

Dou Biqiang was the leader, and respectfully sent Zhang Tianci into the cave.

Zhang Tianci adjusted his clothes and crawled into the hole.Behind him, Dou Biqiang closed the stone door again.

At first, the space in the cave was relatively narrow, and you had to bend down to barely pass.But after walking for more than ten meters, the space gradually opened up, winding and extending to the south.According to the trend of the ground, the upper hole is also high and low, not on a stable level.

It was pitch dark in the cave, and Zhang Tianci didn't bring a flashlight or candle.Fortunately, Zhang Tianci could see in the dark without affecting his vision.

After walking for more than a mile, we came to a larger space, like a circular underground palace, three or four feet in diameter.

In this underground palace, there is a wall that is as flat as a mirror.

There is a futon under the mirror wall, and there is a stone platform with a low table. On the low table is a guqin, with candles and tranquilizing incense on both ends, which seems to be for people to meditate and retreat.

Zhang Tianci sat down on the futon, lit candles and soothing incense, and then looked around.

The candles were brightly lit, and there was silence all around.I don’t know how many years this guqin has been kept, but there is no dust at all. The body of the guqin is shiny and the paint color is like water.

Zhang Tianci only had a rough understanding of music, but he had never played this kind of seven-stringed guqin.Out of curiosity, Zhang Tianci stretched out his fingers and plucked the strings.

There was a tinkling sound on the piano, and a red shadow flashed on the opposite mirror wall.

Zhang Tianci was startled and hurriedly stopped to look at the mirror wall, but when he looked carefully, there was nothing on it.

Is it an illusion?Zhang Tianci was in a daze for a moment, looked up at the mirror wall, and plucked the strings again.

When the piano played this time, Zhang Tianci saw clearly that on the mirror wall, there were indeed red petals appearing and fluttering with the sound of the piano, forming a mirror image of petals falling one after another.

But the falling of these petals has a lot to do with the sound of music.Zhang Tianci's playing was stumbling, and the falling of the petals also paused, unable to show the natural flow of the flowers.

Why does the sound of the piano create such an illusion on the mirror wall?Zhang Tianci couldn't understand.

It is really fun to play the guqin with the mirror image of falling flowers on the stone wall. When the guqin plays, the shadows of the flowers move, which is very romantic.However, Zhang Tianci had something to do and did not dare to be infatuated. He finally stood up, left the stone wall, and continued walking south.

After passing the underground palace, the passage becomes narrow again.

There are stalagmites blocking the way ahead. Two stalagmites hang upside down from above, and two more stalagmites sprout from the ground.It looked like two pairs of big upper and lower teeth of some monster, warning Zhang Tianci not to move forward.

But Zhang Tianci knew that this strange tooth-shaped stalagmite was where the Xiaoyao Dripping Formation was.This is what Dou Biqiang told Zhang Tianci. Once the stalagmite passes, it will be considered as entering the formation.

Zhang Tianci did not dare to neglect, collected his mind, stopped in front of the stalagmites, straightened his clothes and bowed his head, and said: "Junior disciple Zhang Tianci of Longhu Mountain, entrusted by the master of Doubiqiang Temple of Xuyun Temple in Maoshan Mountain, came to pass the formation and take the Maoshan whipped the corpse. I also hope that the ancestors of Maoshan will protect and bless the disciples to pass the test."

No one answered Zhang Tianci, only the echo of Zhang Tianci's own words floated in the cave.

Zhang Tianci waited for the echo to be still, then walked sideways towards the stalagmite and started to break through the barrier.

Fortunately, the pair of stalagmite teeth did not bite anyone, so they let Zhang Tianci in.

Stepping into the formation, Zhang Tianci did not immediately launch his escape method, but slowly moved forward to observe the secrets of the formation.

In this formation, nothing can be seen except stalagmites.

The entire space is like a big ball, with stalagmites growing on the inner wall of the ball.Zhang Tianci was trapped inside the big ball, among the stalagmites.

These stalagmites vary in height and size. The big ones are as tall as a person, while the small ones are as tall as half a person. They are evenly distributed but messy.

Looking up, the tips of the stalagmites were pointing at me, as if they were sharp swords hanging above their heads.

Moreover, there are water droplets falling from the tips of the stalagmites.There were originally some egg-sized hollows on the ground, which must have been the result of water dripping through the stone over a long period of time.These hollows are full of clear water. When water drops fall from them, they make a tinkling sound, just like the sound of nature.

"Xiaoyao dripping formation, this drop of water must be the dripping water from the hanging stalagmite. I wonder what the explanation is for Xiaoyao?" Zhang Tianci walked slowly, wondering about the mystery.

Suddenly a drop of water fell at Zhang Tianci's feet, causing a red splash.

Zhang Tianci was taken aback, why did the water splash change color?When I looked up, I saw a stalagmite above my head was crumbling and was about to fall down!

The formation has changed!

Zhang Tianci's instinctive reaction was to dodge in a hurry.

But when Zhang Tianci moved like this, the entire formation started to move, and all the stalagmites in front of him started to rotate.

It was as if the spherical array was rolling due to external force.

"This junior is so presumptuous, please ask the ancestors of Maoshan to raise your hand and open the door for convenience!" Zhang Tianci said loudly, and then started his escape method, shuttled among the stalagmites, looking for the exit of the formation. (This paragraph is very difficult to write. I have been holding myself back all afternoon to write this chapter. The remaining two chapters will probably be written after ten o'clock. Please forgive me.)
