The mountain is heavy and there is no way out
Two Swords of Wisdom Buried in True Earth, Out of the Box Roaring to Shock the Wind and Rain--Ten Books of Cultivation
After practicing for about ten minutes, Mu Weizhou felt that his mind was clear and his heart was clear. He could even distinguish the breathing of Liu Qingping and Wei Luan clearly. Suddenly, he heard the faint sound of running water. Mu Weizhou thought that this Void Element Technique was really powerful. He could hear the sound of breathing and the water of Lake Tai. Then he felt something was wrong, because what he heard was clearly the sound of the water in the stream, not the sound of the lake. He calmed down and used his hearing. Indeed, there was a faint sound coming from behind him. If he did not pay attention, he would not have heard it.
Mu Weizhou felt that it was strange and quickly stopped guiding his breathing. At this moment, the sound of running water disappeared. He woke Liu Qingping and Wei Luan up and said,""Did you hear the sound of running water? It was not the sound of waves, but the sound of a stream.”
The three of them held their breaths and listened carefully. At this moment, Liu Qingping's kung fu was the best among the three. After listening for a while, he took two steps to the stone wall beside him and put his ear to the stone wall."It seems to be coming from behind.”
The three of them leaned against the stone wall. After a while, Mu Weizhou said,""Yes, that's the sound. There's the sound of running water behind the stone wall.”
"Strange, I remember that there are cliffs on three sides of this mountain. Why is there the sound of a stream?”Liu Qingping said.
Wei Luan pressed her ear against the stone wall and took two steps forward. Then, she carefully sized up the stone room.
"Miss Wei, is there anything wrong?" Mu Weizhou asked.”
"Look, is there anything special about this stone room?" Wei Luan replied.”
"There's an Eight Trigrams diagram drawn on the ground of this stone room?" Mu Weizhou blurted out.”
"Sister Wei, are you saying that from the entrance of the stone room, the entire stone room is symmetrical and only that stone pillar is alone?”Liu Qingping said.
"Brother Liu is really smart, seeing through the key at a glance.”Wei Luan said.
Mu Weizhou didn't feel embarrassed. He walked into the stone pillar and said,""So what if he's special?”
Wei Luan replied with a smile," Brother Mu, don't forget that the design of the gatehouse and the mechanisms of the secret chamber were learned from my family. After my father left the mountain gate, although he no longer made a living by climbing mountains and fighting, he passed his skills to my brother and me. If my observations are correct, this stone room is definitely not independent. It is very likely the entrance to a huge building.”
Hearing Wei Luan's words, Mu Weizhou suddenly remembered the caves on both sides of the entrance and told Yin Luan about the situation. "Did you notice where the two streams went?" Wei Luan asked.”
When Wei Luan asked this question, Mu Weizhou found it difficult to answer. It was very dark at that time, and he was in a hurry to find Cui Xiao, so he didn't pay attention. He glanced at Liu Qingping and heard him say,"" I didn't notice it either. I'm a little afraid of the dark…" Mu Weizhou couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
Wei Luan continued,"In my opinion, this is very likely a 'dragon spitting water' Earth Palace." The hole that Cui Xiao had destroyed was the dragon's mouth. The water that split apart was like the dragon's tentacles. It must have flowed into the depths of the underground palace.”
Mu Weizhou and Liu Qingping couldn't help but feel excited when they heard him say that. Mu Weizhou said,""Does Lady Wei mean that we can go out now?”
Wei Luan said hesitantly," It's hard to be sure if we can get out. But I'm pretty sure that there are other places behind this stone room. We can think of a way to get inside and see if there's another way out."”
Mu and Liu looked at each other and couldn't help but feel disappointed. Seeing this, Wei Luan smiled and said," Don't worry, benefactors. Based on the structure of this stone chamber, I don't think it's a tomb. Usually, there will be other entrances and exits in this kind of design." But we have to go in and take a look first to be sure.”
Mu Weizhou felt that it made sense. He looked around and said,"Miss Wei, you said that this place leads to other places, but we have already checked repeatedly just now. There is no other passage?”
" If they can see it," Liu Qingping interjected," then the person who designed this place must be a fool."”Before Mu Weizhou could reply, he said to Wei Luan,"Sister Wei, what do you think we should do now?”
Wei Luan said,"This stone room is also a bit particular." Do you know the story of Gong Gong touching Buzhou Mountain and then the sky falling?”
"I know that." " It's said that Gonggong, the Water God, once fought with Zhurong, the Fire God, for the throne of heaven and earth. They fought at Mount Buzhou in the northwest. Gonggong tried his best, but he lost to Zhurong." Furious, Gong Gong crashed into Buzhou Mountain and broke it into two. Because Buzhou Mountain was the pillar between the sky and the earth, once it collapsed, the sky collapsed in the northwest and the earth collapsed in the southeast. Fire rained down continuously and floods surged into the sky. If it weren't for Goddess Nuwa, who had mined the earth to mend the heavens and killed Turtle Pillar Heaven, the people would probably still be in a terrible state.”Although Mu Weizhou had heard the story of Mount Buzhou, he did not remember it as well as Liu Qingping. He nodded as he listened.
"Liu Engong has a good memory," said Wei Luan. Look, this stone room is actually a "Heaven Breaking Buzhou" pattern. The round hole above us is like a broken sky, and this stone pillar is just like Buzhou Mountain.”
"Miss Wei, this isn't right. Didn't the legend say that Buzhou Mountain was broken and the genius was broken? According to you, the Heavenly Mountain is here now?”Mu Weizhou asked.
"This is the ingenuity of the person who designed this stone room. According to the thinking of ordinary people, no one would think about a stone pillar that could support them. Little did they know that not only did this stone pillar not play a supporting role, it was also the key to the southeast of the sinkhole.”The three of them gathered around the stone pillar and observed it carefully. They found that the upper and lower ends of the stone pillar were not one with the stone chamber. Mu Weizhou took out a torch from the stone cauldron and looked at it carefully. He found that the stone pillar was actually made of three short stone pillars squeezed together. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell.
"Miss Wei, are you saying that we should push down this stone pillar?”Mu Weizhou pushed the stone pillar hard, but it did not budge.
"I remember that my father told us that if we encounter such a situation, as long as we follow the rules, we can solve it. But we've never actually done anything like this before, so I'm not very sure.”Wei Luan replied.
Mu Weizhou looked at the two of them and said,"Forget it, let's move this Buzhou Mountain down first.”After saying no, he handed the torch to Liu Qingping and stood in front of the stone pillar. He used the Kongyuan Art to transfer his internal energy to his limbs and pushed the stone pillar in the middle. With a loud " pa " sound, Mu Wei's hands hurt from the shock, but the stone pillar did not move at all. Ever since Mu Weizhou had started practicing the Kongyuan Art, he had probably pushed with a force of one to two hundred jin. An ordinary living person would have been thrown far away by his push, but the stone pillar did not move. The three of them could not help but praise the ingenious skills of the person who had built it at that time. Mu Weizhou tried two more times and found that it was impossible to push the stone pillar. Instead, his arm was hurting from the shock. If Liu Qingping had not reminded him not to break his arm, he would have tried to push the stone pillar again.
He had found a solution to the problem, but he couldn't implement it. This really made Mu Weizhou depressed. Suddenly, he ran to the entrance of the cave and carried a large stone over. It was estimated to weigh more than 100 pounds. When Liu Qingping saw him moving the stones, he immediately came over to help and said,""Brother Mu, stand on the stone bed before throwing.”
When Wei Luan heard that the two of them were dead, she quickly came over to help. The three of them stood on the stone bed and lifted the big stone together. They threw it at the stone pillar with all their might. With a crash, the stone pillar broke into four pieces. The big stone also shattered and rolled to the corner of the wall. When the two saw that the stone pillar had broken, they were very happy. They stood on the stone bed and waited for the next change.
After half a day, there were no stone doors or caves. Mu Weizhou muttered to himself,'That's not right. In novels, a cave or a staircase would appear at this time. Why is there no movement at all? Is he trying to kill me?'
While he was still thinking, Wei Luan jumped onto the stone cauldron with a "Rainbow Bridge Flight" and said to Mu Weizhou,"Duke Muen, hand me a section of that stone pillar.”
Liu Qingping seemed to have thought of something. He jumped off the stone bed and handed one of the stone pillars to Wei Luan. Wei Luan inserted a section of the stone pillar into the vent. Only then did Mu Weizhou realize that the diameter of the stone pillar matched the ventilation hole perfectly.
At this moment, Wei Luan asked them to take out the second section of the stone pillar. Mu Weizhou saw that he was tired, so he jumped up to replace her and continued the rest. Just as he was halfway into the second section of the stone pillar, he heard a cracking sound. He could no longer push it any further. The three of them heard the noise. After waiting for a long time, there was no change in the stone room. They heard Liu Qingping say,""Brother Mu, please come down first. I'm afraid this won't do.”Seeing the two of them standing there and looking at him, Liu Qingping continued,""Sister Wei, look at that stone cover. Its top is flat, and I see that the distance between the top of the stone cover and the second stone pillar is about one stone pillar. I think the original builders wanted to erect this pillar on top of that stone cover, right?”
Wei Luan said,"My father never mentioned this. He said that the pattern of 'Heaven Breaking and Buzhou' is actually the 'Three Locks'." Just now, when we heard the 'crack' sound, it must have triggered a mechanism. I think we did a good job. Benefactor Liu, bring the two broken stone pillars over. Let's try it first.”
Mu Weizhou carried the stone pillar that weighed more than 200 jin and said to the other two,"You guys have to hurry up. I can't hold on for long.”
Liu Qingping and Wei Luan put the two broken stone pillars together and tried to put them back together, but they realized that it was impossible. When they had smashed this stone pillar with the big rock just now, it had been smashed too hard. The broken part was too badly damaged. It could not stand up like a stone pillar. When the two of them realized this situation, they tried to connect a few more times and still could not do it. They knew in their hearts that it was probably not going to work. "How is it?" Mu Weizhou asked. I can't take it anymore! Speed!"
Liu Qingping listened to his urging. The last section of the stone pillar could not be used at all. He knew that Wei Luan's method of getting out was probably impossible. He could not help but feel a chill in his heart and suddenly burst into tears. As she cried, she threw a stone pillar in her hand in the direction of the original corner and said,"Sob, sob, it's over, Brother Mu, we really can't get out.”
Just as Mu Weizhou was about to dissuade him, he heard a series of clattering sounds and a burst of coldness. The corner of the wall facing the stone pillar sank, revealing a flight of stairs that extended downwards. It was dark inside, and the cold wind was blowing. The sound of running water could be heard clearly.
Mu Weizheng bent his back and stuck out his butt, holding two stone pillars in the direction of the original stone pillar. When he heard the sound, he felt a chill. Seeing that the two people below had instantly gone silent, he hurriedly asked,"What's wrong? Why was it suddenly so cold? What's going on?"
At this moment, Wei Luan jumped onto the stone cage and slowly placed the stone pillar on top of the stone cage with him. She said happily,"Duke Muen, we have opened the underground palace. Look behind you!"
Mu Weizhou turned around and saw the stairs. He somersaulted down the stone cauldron happily and shouted,"“yeah! I told you that good people will be rewarded! Miss Wei, you're too amazing. If it wasn't for you, we might have starved to death.”
"There's still me." Before Wei Luan could say anything, Liu Qingping said anxiously.
"You? Haha. Brother Liu, not only are you smart, you're also good at crying.”Mu Weizhou joked happily.
Liu Qingping heard him say this and snorted without saying anything.
Wei Luan jumped down from the stone cauldron and said,""Benefactor Liu, Benefactor Mu is joking with you.”
"Sister Wei, you are really amazing. How did you open the cave?”Liu Qingping ignored Mu Weizhou and asked Wei Luan happily.
"Actually, I don't know how to open it, but perhaps I can explain it according to my understanding."”
"Oh?" Mu Weizhou walked over and asked. What happened?"
Wei Luan slowly said,"My father said that there are three locks in the pattern of 'Breaking the Sky and Buzhou.' Now I think these three locks are all in the phrase,'Buzhou is gone, the sky is undivided, the stars sink in the northwest, and the earth collapses in the southeast.' If we break the stone pillar, we will have broken the safety mechanism. Not only will we be able to achieve the 'not only is there no mistake' but we will also be able to obtain the key to the 'heaven is all'. I thought that the 'kacha' sound from inserting the stone pillar into the vent should be the activation of the safety to open the stairs. He had to thank Benefactor Liu for this 'Sinking Star in the Northwest.' If I'm not wrong, the stone pillar should have been standing in the northwest direction. The northwest of the Star Sinking was achieved by Liu's benefactor when he threw that half of the stone pillar. I looked at it just now, and it seemed to have hit the spot where the stone pillar was originally standing. That was probably a layer of safety that was controlled by vibration. Therefore, these three locks were unintentionally opened. This was really heaven's will.”
Was the 'three locks' that Wei Luan mentioned right? The first two were right, but the third key point was actually the stone cauldron. The stone cauldron relied on the weight on top to trigger the mechanism to open the door. Just as Liu Qingping said, when the three stone pillars were placed on top, not only would they trigger the mechanism on top, but they could also use the weight to trigger the mechanism below the stone cauldron. However, one of the stone pillars had been smashed by them, so they could not let the weight reach the range of the punishment mechanism. Fortunately, when Mu Weizhou was holding the two stone pillars, he saw Liu Qingping crying and throwing things. He reflexively adjusted his center of gravity so that the pressure of the stone cauldron was just enough to trigger the mechanism, and the underground palace opened. Of course, if Mu Weizhou's weight wasn't as heavy as a stone pillar, and he didn't adjust his center of gravity, it would have been difficult to trigger the mechanism. Therefore, everything seemed to be a coincidence, and the few of them didn't know the actual reason.
Hearing Wei Luan's explanation, Mu Weizhou felt that it made sense. He smiled and said to Liu Qingping,""Looks like I, Brother Liu, have made another great contribution. Haha."
Liu Qingping also gave her a side glance and said to Wei Luan,""Sister Wei, then let's hurry in and find a way out.”
The three of them ate some leftovers from the morning. Mu Weizhou used the charcoal wood in the stone cauldron to tie a particularly large torch, and the three of them walked down the stairs. While they were eating, Mu Weizhou quietly pulled Liu Qingping to the side and instructed him to help Wei Luan when they went downstairs. Liu Qingping asked Mu Weizhou curiously," Why do I need him to help me?" Mu Weizhou told him that Wei Luan was a woman, so he had to take good care of her, but men and women should not touch each other. Liu Qingping was a child, so it was not convenient for him. Liu Qingping happily accepted his suggestion, and he was no longer angry with him.
The three of them walked down the stairs. The wind in the underground palace blew the torches and made them flicker. The three of them were very nervous. Liu Qingping had long forgotten what Mu Weizhou had told him in the stone chamber. He walked in the middle and hooked his arms tightly around Mu Weizhou and Wei Luan. After walking about a hundred stone steps, a bottomless tunnel that was as tall as a person appeared in front of them. The stream from before actually flowed into the bottom of the tunnel. It could be seen that this tunnel was man-made.
Mu Weizhou's throat was dry, his hands were covered in sweat, and his entire body was drenched. He swallowed and said softly,""Are we still going forward?" Although he did not want to believe in ghosts and gods, he was still worried about encountering strange things, such as huge animals or people living in seclusion. If he really encountered them, he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with them.
"Go ahead." Wei Luan's voice trembled slightly as she said," In my opinion, there shouldn't be a problem. This doesn't look like a tomb. It's very likely that someone built it in the past to live in seclusion."”
At this moment, Liu Qingping whispered,""Why don't we go back? That boatman might come in a while. If we shout at him, he should be able to hear us.”
Hearing this, Mu Weizhou felt that he had to continue walking because going back would definitely lead to death. He could only continue walking. Therefore, he said," It seems that we can only move forward. We don't have to be afraid. Since this place was specially built to live in the past, there shouldn't be too much strange. Perhaps the end of the tunnel is the door to go out."”Mu Weizhou said," Moreover, we just went down exactly a hundred stone steps. From the height of the courtyard when we came in, we should be on flat ground. Therefore, it's very likely that this is the way out."”Actually, how would Mu Weizhou know? He said that to boost his courage, and to ease the tension of the other two when he saw them frightened.
The three of them prepared to continue walking forward. They found that the tunnel was not wet. There was a whole piece of bluestone under their feet. There was a place for torches on the wall. It was obvious that they had stored it for daily use. Seeing these, the three of them felt a little comforted.
After walking for half a day, Liu Qingping suddenly whispered into Mu Weizhou's ear,""Mu…Big, Big Brother Mu, what do you see in front?”
Mu Weizhou was shocked by his behavior, but he was a little short-sighted and did not see anything. At this moment, Wei Luan also leaned towards the two of them and whispered,""In front, there are two green ones.”
Hearing this, Mu Weizhou shook the torch in his hand and found that there were indeed two green eye-like things shining not far away. He had played Resident Evil before. This was a passageway beside Lake Tai that had been there for many years. If a crocodile or something like that ran over, it would be fatal. Mu Weizhou shook the torch in his hand again, gulped, and took two steps forward. At this moment, if anyone made even the slightest sound, the three of them would definitely turn around and run. Liu Qingping let out a shriek of " Ah!". Hearing her scream, Wei Luan also screamed. The two of them turned around to run, but seeing that Mu Weizhou did not move, they did not dare to run. They trembled and clung to Mu Weizhou. It wasn't that Mu Weizhou didn't want to run. It was because he had used up too much of his physical strength when he was lifting the 200-pound stone pillar with his butt sticking out and his legs tensed up. In that instant, his foot suddenly cramped. It turned out that the "pa" sound just now was the sound of the torch in his hand breaking through the wood. Mu Weizhou felt relieved when he saw that the blinking 'green eyes' did not move even after the two of them shouted. If it was the eyes of a living creature, and the distance between them was so large, it was impossible that it would not react to the scream just now. He carefully took a few steps forward. Under the light of the fire, he saw a door. The " green eyes " were actually two egg-sized emeralds that were decorated on the door. The two doors were wooden doors that faced each other. Other than the two emeralds on the door, it was no different from ordinary doors.
Mu Weizhou let out a breath and held Liu Qingping's hand.""Brother Liu, don't be afraid. It's nothing. It's just an ordinary inheritance.”
Liu Qingping said indifferently,""Who's afraid? I just wanted to scare you. I'm not afraid.”
"Oh? If you're not afraid, can you open the door?”Mu Weizhou said deliberately.
Liu Qingping hid behind him and said,""Who wants to open that door? Who wants to go? I'm not going!”
At this moment, Wei Luan said," Duke Muen, don't scare him. I think this door is very ordinary. The carvings on it look like they were from the Spring and Autumn Period. I don't think there's anything strange about it."”
Hearing her words, Mu Weizhou felt more at ease. He let the two of them lean behind him, then switched the torch to his left hand and slowly pushed open a door with his right hand.
