Chapter 31 Zhang Jisan explores the Goddess Cave, and the old magic stone room explains the reason
Zhang Ji returned straight to the original path and came to the cliff. He heard no traces of the person coming around and searched for the traces again, but still couldn't find any clues. He couldn't help but admire him very much: The person who came here is really good at qinggong. It's enough. It is said that there is no trace left on the snow. He thought: "This person must also have gone down to the valley. It's just that you have to climb down with a chain to enter the valley. Let me climb on the steel cable and talk about it. Hehe... I have broken the lower end of the steel cable. Don't you think so? Teach me to block it!"
Looking at the right spot, I jumped down and turned around again. It was better than a butterfly landing lightly on the calyx of a flower, a dragonfly fluttering on the tip of a lotus leaf, and like catkins clinging to the pink wall in the wind, or spider silk swaying in the corner. , his hands had already grasped the rope, but he said "Hey".
Where is there anyone under this tightrope? I could only feel that one end of the rope was swinging from time to time, touching the stone wall. The steel rope had been torn off by myself, and it was still dozens of feet above the ground. This man was clearly climbing down with the steel rope, but he couldn't feel it at all. : Could it be that this person has really mastered such shocking lightness skills and is able to jump from the end of the rope?
Could it be that this person realized that the rope had been broken, climbed up again, and found another place? But I couldn't hear any movement at the top of the cliff, which was really incredible.
Although Zhang Ji had doubts in his heart, he still climbed down the steel rope until he reached the end. When he looked down, there was nothing he could do. Even though he had practiced martial arts, he could move on flat ground and climb up mountains. He could do it seriously. How can you jump from such a high place? I'm afraid there is no such brilliant Qinggong in this world, but where has that person gone?
After thinking about it, I really couldn't figure it out. Could there be some mystery on this stone wall? Now I pressed against the stone wall, and I was really happy: it turned out that there were vague voices not far away on the upper right, and the cold wind was blowing in the deep valley. In addition, the words were not far away from the steel cable. It would be difficult for a person with advanced martial arts to hear them. But it's different when you put your ear against the stone wall.
He grasped the rope tightly with both hands, stepped on the stone wall with his feet and moved to the right, while climbing up. Sure enough, not long after, he heard someone's voice clearly:
"Damn it, seeing as the sky is going to be brighter, how the hell will anyone come?"
Another said: "Who cares? We brothers just need to guard the entrance of the cave and don't ask anything else!"
"On nights when the moon is full in the past, we all have fun down there. Who would have thought that tonight we would be called in to guard... Brother Sang, do you think the method taught by Xiao Nizi works? Why do I get better and better the more I practice? Going back?"
The other one snorted and said: "No wonder you haven't made any progress. You just think you are happy every full moon night, but you don't know that this method of yin and yang cultivation is really superb. Recently, I only feel that my skills are great." You have made progress, and it is far beyond the internal skills taught by the original master! I think either you make mistakes every time you breathe out, or you are just thinking about enjoying yourself."
"Do you think the pill that the immortal master just gave you really works?"
The other one said: "Why doesn't it work? Li Datong, who was behind you, got a pill from the Immortal Master last time. Two months later, he went from Room B to Room D. I don't think it will take long for him to catch up with you." It’s gone! Put it away quickly”
"How did this idiot make such rapid progress?" He then smiled and said happily: "Even if I don't practice martial arts, every full moon night, I can sleep with the fairy sister in this cave. , we are satisfied!"
Another scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful what others hear!"
"Don't worry! This is just a vent. No one knows about it except important people and a few people who are always guarding it!"
Zhang Ji heard clearly: It turns out that this is just a vent. The immortal master mentioned by these two people must be a talented person. Why did this person disappear? It turns out that I know there is an entrance here. Now I was climbing on the steel cable and gently peeking my head from the left. Although it was just a vent, it was about a foot in diameter. The sky was not completely bright, and it was still pitch black inside. The two people were there. chat.
Not wanting to reveal his whereabouts, he casually broke off a medium-sized stone at the entrance of the cave and threw it into the cave. The two men heard the sound and raised their weapons and went over to check. Zhang Jichu jumped at the right time and leaned against the top of the cave. He jumped into the cave, landed in darkness, and immediately held his breath.
But I heard one of them say: "It's probably because the stone wall on the cave fell off, so don't make a fuss." The other one responded and returned to the original place, and the two continued to talk without mentioning it.
Zhang Ji moved lightly, not daring to be careless at all. The stone cave was winding downwards, and from time to time he saw large and small intersections. For a moment, he didn't know which way to take.
With hurried steps, I heard another group of people approaching. The leader called out: "I'll say it again! Rush to the six vents. If someone breaks in, go and report it!" The rest of the people all said yes and turned sideways. As soon as he hid, he saw a group of people running towards the entrance of the cave they had just walked through.
Zhang Ji secretly thought: These new manpower must have been recruited by that person just now! This person is really not that simple. He actually expected me to break in from here. If I hadn't entered the cave one step ahead and met in the middle of this narrow passage, I would have definitely used force, and I'm afraid my whereabouts would have been leaked.
Just now Zheng Zheng was worried about which way to take, but now several big men must be coming from the bottom of the cave. Zhang Ji simply followed the group of people to where they came from, and sure enough the winding path led to the bottom of the cave.
After walking a few steps, I heard people's voices gradually becoming clearer, and my ears were pressed to the ground more clearly: It turns out that down here is the hall, and I thought to myself: There are so many masters down here, among them the old man with a white beard named Xue and the one following me. Those who took action wanted to gain the most. If I approached rashly, there was no guarantee that I would not be noticed. But if I didn’t get closer, how could I hear clearly?
After weighing the left and right, he went down the cave again. At the intersection of another cave, a group of big men came over. They were all dressed in different clothes. It seemed that they were not the messengers in the cave. Those few people were running with their swords at their feet, and they must have gone to the hall. Zhang Ji hurriedly took off another coat and threw it aside. He followed them like he was running away and asked: "What happened?" What's the matter? Just now, I was just enjoying myself and fell asleep with my arms around the beauty!"
The person in front laughed after hearing this, and without looking back, he said something random: "I heard that the cave master asked everyone to go to the hall. He said he had some orders. Let's hurry up and avoid going. It's too late to make these aunts angry!" Zhang Jin grunted and followed the big men to the hall in a few steps.
From a distance, I saw layers upon layers of people in various costumes. The cave master sat carefully on the high platform, with two rows sitting on the left and right, looking for the experts just now, but the crowds of people in front of him were so dense that they blocked his view.
I heard the cave master stand up and say loudly: "Dear guests, it's snowing heavily, and the steel cables when we came are slippery and difficult to walk. I asked the fairies to send everyone out of the valley from somewhere else. There are just so many guests in the cave, everyone." You must obey the arrangements! Now please stand in your respective positions, and I will send someone out of the valley for you." The crowd immediately started to move, and Jia Sanlang was seen from a distance looking for a seat.
Taking advantage of the commotion, Zhang Ji got into the cave. Suddenly he remembered the clothes he had thrown away and hurriedly searched for them along the same route. Where could he find them?
A few more people walked into the cave on the left. Zhang Ji followed them not far away, followed a few steps and smiled slightly: It turned out that the four girls who were turning forward to guide him opened their mouths and said: "Be a little more agile with your hands. The cave master has finished his work in the front and is about to take a bath." The remaining few sighed and walked away again.
Zhang Ji walked to find where he was talking. Sure enough, there was a stone door at the end of the cave. When he heard that there was no one inside, he pushed the right side of the stone door. The stone door slowly opened. He turned around and entered the stone room. The stone door Then slowly close it.
Looking around for a while, I saw that the furnishings in this stone room were simple. A chandelier with red candles placed on the sides illuminated the entire stone room. There was a simple porcelain plate on the square stone table, with only a small handful on it. There is a small blue and white porcelain pot with a cup upside down next to it. Four stone stools are placed on the sides. Other than that, there is nothing special about it.
He groped along the four walls one by one, and sure enough, a scent of fragrance came from the wall directly opposite. Zhang Ji groped along the stone walls one by one, and found another stone door in the center. The stone door opened, and along with the pink candlelight, it spread out. A scent came, although it was strong, it still made my heart flutter.
There is another scene inside: ivory steps on the red bed, red gauze covering the lamp, and a wisp of fragrance coming out of the animal gold incense burner. There are melons, pears and vegetables on an incense table next to it, as well as a Maitreya Buddha with a big belly and a smiling face, which is extremely incongruous with this fragrant spring lady.
After searching around for a while, I heard someone coming again, so I hurriedly jumped onto the bed frame and hid on it.
The stone door opened with a rumble, and four women walked in, each carrying a wooden bucket. They poured hot water into the large wooden bucket next to them. The mist suddenly rose, and the four of them walked out of the outer room. After a while of busy work, the leader said: "Let's go out! The cave master will be here soon."
Zhang Jixin was not sure for a moment: With the cave master's martial arts revealed by turning forward, I am hiding here, and within such a close distance, can I teach her to discover it? If she finds out where I'm hiding, she won't be able to find out anything.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone coming outside the door. I heard that his steps were light and he was also a master.
Zhang Ji shook his head and smiled, thinking: Even if he wants to leave now, he can't.
Before anyone could push the door open, Zhang Ji felt hot and uncomfortable all over - why was this light-footed master not a female cave master?
The cave owner pushed open the door and entered. First, he kowtowed in front of the Buddha statue, and then faintly saw her gently taking off her coat and hanging it on the bedside. She was waiting for the shower room when another hurried footsteps came outside the door.
Although the steps were quick, they were extremely light. It was obvious that his cultivation was not as good as that of the cave master. Zhang Ji did not dare to be careless, and he became even more careful. He immediately held his breath and did not dare to make a sound.
A gloomy unfamiliar voice spoke outside the door: "Report to the cave master! There is a situation outside."
The cave master grabbed the coat on the bedside and put it on his body, and said, "Come in and answer!" The stone door outside slowly opened, and the cave master also walked to the outer room at the same time.
The visitor said anxiously: "A girl picked up this coat, and the medicinal smell on it is exactly my 'soul-chasing pill'! Does the cave master recognize it?" After saying this, there was only a sound of shaking clothes.
The cave owner said "Ah" and said, "It's exactly the clothes that Zhang was wearing when he broke into the cave."
The man also said "ah" and exclaimed: "Could it be that this person has gone and come back again?"
The cave master said "hmm" and said, "It's possible! Jade Flute Sword is full of tricks, and this red-handed spirit slaughterer is extremely skilled in martial arts. It's possible he could find another entrance to sneak in!"
The man asked, "Does this person know about our White Lotus Sect, so he came here to inquire about it?" The two men were naturally surprised by what they said. Zhang Jiwen was even more shocked when he heard this, even though his two brothers People have already guessed that they are close to each other, but at this moment, the two people said the words "White Lotus Sect" during the conversation, and they were shocked and almost screamed.
Then I heard the cave master say: "There are quite a few people in this cave who know my identity, but I don't think it's possible for him to know his surname Zhang for a while. We'd better be careful with our words."
The man continued: "Since the man surnamed Zhang has been poisoned by my 'soul-chasing pill', no matter how high his martial arts skills are, he will not live long. It stands to reason that he should hurry up and find his sworn brother, Judge Chou, to detoxify him." , how could you sneak into a cave? Besides, there is no need to leave any clothes behind."
The man asked again: "This place has been exposed. Why not kill those losers and let them go?"
The cave master snorted and said: "You are so cruel! We are just borrowing their essence to practice martial arts here. Where do you get such evil intentions? Don't forget, I am the one who makes the decision here!"
The man kept saying yes and stopped replying.
The cave master added: "Hurry up and gather all the masters in the cave to search carefully. The man named Zhang is poisoned. Since he has come to the door, let's take the opportunity to kill him and avoid future troubles." The man hummed and followed. The cave owner went out of the stone gate.
When Zhang Ji heard them walking away, he jumped down and breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself: Now that their whereabouts have been exposed, I'm afraid it's impossible to hear any more news. It's better to leave here quickly. Having made up his mind, he pushed open the stone door and ran out.
After walking a few steps, I heard people coming and going in the cave, and another round of search had begun.
In a hurry, he suddenly remembered that the steel cable he came from had been broken by himself. Apart from that, he didn't know any other exits. The cave was criss-crossed. How could he get out easily?
Zhang Ji thought in his mind and moved forward, walking towards the less crowded area, wandering around and finally arriving at the hall again. I saw that the entrances to the caves were exactly the same. Which one leads to the exit?
Suddenly, a melodious voice came and said: "Zhang Erxia is so courageous and courageous!" His internal energy was extremely strong and powerful, obviously a profound soul-chasing technique, needless to say it was produced by Xue Zongchang, the Invincible Excalibur.
Zhang Jilue thought about it and came up with a plan, and then laughed again. Before the sound stopped, someone had already rushed to the hall. Xue Zongchang and Liu Canghai arrived first, followed by the cave master and a man in black clothes. Most likely he was the person who just talked to the cave master. Immediately after Cheng Xinba and the four heroes outside the pass, more than a hundred people poured out of each cave entrance, and they had already surrounded themselves.
The cave master said, "What? Zhang Erxia left and returned three times. Is it because he couldn't bear to leave his little sister?" Zhang Ji laughed and said, "I accidentally left my clothes behind when I was walking down. It was freezing cold and heavy snow closed the mountain. I didn't walk a few steps. I couldn't bear it any longer, so I came back to find it again, but I didn't want to alarm you all again!"
Xue Zongchang opened his mouth and said: "I heard that there was a red-handed spirit slaughterer who single-handedly wiped out the Haisha Gang ten years ago. I always thought it was just rumors. I only believed it when I saw the real person today." After he finished speaking, it was long. A sigh, this sigh is quite charming.
Although the four heroes outside Guan were submissive to him, they all said in unison: "Zhang, you clearly don't take us seriously. I won't let you go today!" Zhang Ji stood still and said nothing.
The man in black next to the cave owner said sinisterly: "Zhang, you led us here from various intersections with your laughter. You obviously wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was no one in the cave to patrol, and then wait for an opportunity to escape. Hehe, it's a pity. , you have been poisoned, and you will not be able to escape today. I will skin you, cramp you, and dig out your heart and lungs, so that I can relieve the hatred in my heart." Zhang Jinan heard this and secretly admired his deep scheming, and thought secretly. Who is this person?
"What are you talking about? Come on, everyone!"
Before the cave master could speak, Liu Canghai yelled and stabbed him with a sword. Zhang Ji ducked sideways. When he looked back, he was already surrounded by three levels inside and outside. The innermost circle was the one who had attacked him before. Several experts.
Liu Canghai missed the stab, raised his wrist, and a sword energy came from the sword chant. Zhang Ji waved his hand and hit the sword energy. Liu Canghai yelled and was shaken against the stone wall. .
Zhang Ji took the opportunity to look at a hole on the left and was about to leave. He heard someone shouting "Get out of the way!". A group of people in front of him responded and got out of the way. He only heard the wind whistling on his back and hurriedly turned around to receive the palm. The power of the palm was so overbearing that the person at the intersection was knocked seven or eight steps away and fell to the ground gasping for breath. It was Xue Zongchang.
Before Xue Zongchang stopped breathing, he shouted again: "Han Tao Palm!" Zhang Ji knew how powerful it was, spread his legs and moved his arms, and received another palm from the face. Zhang Ji's body shook where the palms met, and Xue Zongchang shouted again Being shocked out of the circle.
In an instant, the Intentional Overlord Steel Gun arrived again. Zhang Jiyang kicked it away, and the Four Outstanding Heroes came at them with whips, sickles, hooks and axes. Zhang Ji raised his left hand and instantly grabbed the barrel of the Overlord Gun that had been swung away. He dragged it one by one, blocking both sides. The yue has two hooks and a half-moon shovel. When he stretches his right leg, the soft whip is like a poisonous snake and has already been wrapped around his leg. He shouts again and retracts his right leg. The big man using the whip has already been dragged forward and kicked again. He was kicked in the chest and flew out of the circle, vomiting blood. He raised his left arm that was holding the gun, waved his right palm, and smashed it against the barrel of the gun. The four of them were thrown away all the way, rolling to the ground and wailing.
In an instant, there was another chance. Zhang Ji wanted to jump out of the circle and get into the hole. However, at some point, Xue Zongchang had a sword in his hand, and Liu Canghai and Liu Canghai came at them one after another. .
Zhang Ji was surprised: he only thought that this old man had deep internal skills and strong palm power, but he didn't expect that this swordsmanship was even better than Liu Canghai's.
At that moment, he only relied on his brute force to move back and forth, jump up and down, dodge three swords and return a palm. He saw Liu Canghai leaping to the top of his head and stabbing him with a sword from top to bottom. There was no room for him to think too much, and he hurriedly waved his left palm. Opening the sword in Xue Zongchang's hand, he leaned back, pushed up with his right palm, and faced the blade with another wind-returning palm. The force of the palm was too strong, Liu Canghai's sword left his hand, and he fell out of the circle with a cry of pain.
This hand has seventy-three ways and nine turns back to the wind palm. It was passed down to me from my master. After decades of hard practice and study, I have long since mastered it. When I move the palm, I can do whatever I want. It is really difficult to distinguish which move and style I used.
Seeing another person being injured, everyone was frightened for a moment, and no one dared to step forward.
Suddenly someone shouted loudly again, and only heard two whooshing sounds in his ears. He turned sideways, and two hidden weapons like steel needles scraped against his face. He was only half a point away from hitting him, but there was only half a point missing. , happened to be given over by Zhang Ji, neither too much nor too little.
Zhang Ji's heart was filled with anger. He had fought with others all his life. What he hated most was that hidden weapons were secretly placed behind his back without any warning. In a blink of an eye, he was already in front of the person who issued the hidden weapon. He didn't want to entangle more, so he took the initiative to attack. There were more moves after that, but this time it was completely different. Seeing that the person who used the hidden weapon was the person who had talked to the cave master before, he had already decided to give it a try.
Zhang Ji asked angrily: "Remember the poison my sixth brother was poisoned by, and the soul-chasing pills in my belly now are all your work, right?"
The man snorted and slashed down with a steel knife in his hand. Zhang Ji dodged back and asked again: "Are you the 'Soul-Chasing Judge' from the 'Four Evils in Western Hunan'?" The man sighed and cursed: "My three brothers all lost their lives at the hands of you and a few others. I will pay with your blood today!"
After the soul-chasing judge finished speaking, he threw away the steel knife in his hand and struck at his face with both hands. Zhang Ji met with his left palm, feeling that the power of the palm was extremely cold, as if it was the Xuanyin Palm of the Nine-Headed Yama.
The urging judge knew that the opponent was powerful and could not succeed with one palm, so he used all his strength and launched another move with both palms. This move naturally used up all his strength. Zhang Ji turned sideways and saw the opponent making another move. Now he stretched out his right palm and opened it upward, then suddenly retracted it, hitting the chest with a palm.
The soul-chasing judge let out a heart-breaking scream, his face turned livid for a moment, and he scratched his chest with both hands. He suddenly tore open his clothes and exposed his chest. Everyone saw that there was a purple-black palm print on his chest, but this palm print There are only three fingers, and the ring finger and little finger are missing.
Zhang Ji laughed three times and said: "It's your own fault! You usually kill people and do evil, and you do whatever it takes to poison and kill people. Today, I want you to try my Soul-Chasing Pill, but at this moment, the medicinal properties have been injected into the meridians with the power of your palms." Even if you have the antidote at home, I’m afraid it won’t help!”
Looking back at my hands, they were also purple and black. Just now I just let it go and dealt with it, but the medicinal properties of the Soul-Chasing Pill had already spread all over my body.
He heard two more sword chants, and two sword lights pierced his face. Zhang Ji hurriedly turned over to avoid it. Unexpectedly, two fine steel swords followed him one after another. He had to tap his feet on the ground, then stepped back and squinted. At first glance, I saw two middle-aged men dressed in Taoist robes stretching out their right hands and clasping their fingers together in front of their chests, obviously looking for luck.
Zhang Ji was horrified: Could it be that there really is such a magical sword-controlling skill in this world? Where did these two people learn such extraordinary martial arts?
When he was distracted for a moment, two rays of sword light were already piercing in front of him. Zhang Ji faced the sword edge and struck out with his palm. The sword in front of his head received a "ding" sound from the palm force and was knocked out of the circle. The hilt of the sword was nailed inward to the stone wall. On the top of the sword, only less than an inch of the tip of the three-foot sword was exposed. One person in the circle was broken in his sword control qigong and fell to the ground with blood spurting from his mouth.
The man in Taoist robes next to him was slightly distracted when he saw that his companion was seriously injured. His breath was slow in his chest and his fingers were weak. The sword slowed down slightly. Zhang Ji saw the opportunity, jumped over the top, and reached out to grab the hilt of the sword.
The eight red shadows in the formation flashed, and in an instant they surrounded Zhang Ji in the heart of Gai, spinning around in circles. Zhang Jideng felt dizzy in front of his eyes, and his body swayed a few times. Suddenly, white light flashed, and the eight red shadows used fine steel. The swords all stabbed at the heart. Zhang Ji's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he jumped up. There were eight groups of red clothes on the ground, and eight diamond swords in the middle. They were really like a red flower with eight petals. Zhang Ji was wearing a gray short coat slightly at the top. , like a bee swooping on the pistil.
Turning over, the left hand sword struck from top to bottom. However, these women were skilled in swordsmanship. They had no choice but to abandon the sword in their hands and jumped out of the circle. They fired both palms together and struck out with a return palm, three or four of them. Hong Ying gasped one after another and fell to the ground rolling.
How could the crowd allow Zhang Ji to breathe? Several masters who were knocked down on the ground rolled over again and rushed to attack him. He rushed left and struck again, knocking down a dozen more people in the blink of an eye.
Xue Zongchang held the sword in his hand. After a few rounds, his energy and blood were already boiling. The injury on his palm from the previous attack had not healed, and within a few moves, he would vomit blood on the spot.
Liu Canghai was also spitting blood, and he understood in his heart: among those present, Xue Zongchang, himself, and Cheng Xinba were the best in martial arts, and the others were only slightly inferior. Even looking at the world, this group of people had few opponents. Now I am in trouble. Not to mention that in the future, rumors will spread that I am too shameless to hang out in the world. Even in front of the cave master and all the fairies Jiao'e, I am determined to be shameless. Moreover, today I have become an enemy of this person. , if we meet again in the future and use force, how can I survive? Thinking of this, he shouted again and jumped forward bravely.
Liu Canghai yelled and struck out with his right hand, slashing straight at Zhang Ji. Seeing this, Xue Zongchang jumped up and used the "Han Tao Palm" that he had worked hard on for decades to rush towards Zhang Ji.
Firstly, Xue and Liu had profound skills, and secondly, they were attacking from both left and right. The wind passed by their palms was so powerful that Zhang Ji met with both palms, his body swayed, and his hind legs took one or two steps. Xue Zongchang and Liu Canghai were also shaken and took seven or eight steps back.
Xue and Liu looked at each other and felt that the opponent's palm power had been reduced. They both thought: It must be the poisonous effect of the Zhuihun Pill. They were both happy, and they forced their strength to increase, and they both exercised their skills again.
Zhang Jixin said: If things continue like this, there is no way to control them. There are only a few villains from the White Lotus Sect among this group of people. Most of them must have been instigated and deceived by others to practice some evil skills that harmonize men and women. They are really heinous and sinful. Deserve death?
While I was thinking about it, I saw another wave of palm power from Xue and Liu everywhere. I suddenly thought of a plan, jumped up on the spot, received another palm from the two of them in the air, and flew out of the circle with the help of their palm power. Outside, he jumped into the cave.
Xue Zongchang and Liu Canghai looked at each other and couldn't help shouting that they had been fooled, and they regretted it long ago. Immediately he endured the pain and led the rest of the people to search the cave. However, the caves were crisscrossed, so where could they find them at that time?
