The cave on the rock wall is a bit rough, and the edges are not too neat. One step from the entrance to the cave ends, and then on the right is an upward stone step. The slope of the stone step is very steep, and it is also in the rock. It was carved out of the cliff and climbed up the mountain. It may have been due to lighting issues. The entire stone staircase tunnel is not completely closed. The rock on the right side is opened every ten steps to create a cave the size of a square table. , so that sunlight can shine into the tunnel, but the structure of the opening will become unstable and prone to collapse under wind and sun. The stone steps of this tunnel are covered with gravel. It depends on the situation from above. It fell down from the cave-in everywhere.

The grim-faced Taoist priest retracted his body and said to He Siniang and Luo Laoqi: "It seems that the riddle is pointing to this stone step. The poor Taoist saw that it was climbing up the mountain. Maybe it is the path leading to the entrance of the underground palace."

"It should be right." He Siniang said: "The entrance to the cave is so secretive, and it is at the bottom of the West Mountain Cliff, which is unexpected. If there is no riddle to guide you, even if you guess that the underground palace is in the Immortal Cave, you will probably go there. Searching at the bottom of the cliff in Beishan is really a good trick for King Hui to show off."

"It's indeed a good idea. Damn old Zhao Jiuxiang was called the God of Killing in the Qin Dynasty when he was alive. Unexpectedly, he will not stop after death. He has to make a good mausoleum fancy, for fear that others will not know that he is a fucking thing. "After a pause, the Taoist with a grimace continued: "But I guess that the stone steps of this tunnel were not built by Zhao Buxiang. The Immortal Cave was originally an alchemy field in the pre-Qin Dynasty. Those fortune-telling officials hiding in the mountains and refining alchemy would not drink it. With the northwest wind, it is inevitable to go up and down, and this tunnel is so crudely built, I am afraid it was built by the demons to pass through, but it was later used by Zhao Buxiang for his own use."

"Oh, you don't care who built it, but in the end it has to be a convenience for the grandfathers? Taoist priest, just tell me if this bird hole leads to the bucket. If so, the Sa family can't wait any longer." Luo Laoqi was here. Said anxiously.

The grim-faced Taoist priest also reacted when he heard this. He had found this place and analyzed a hammer. Moreover, time was very tight, so it was business to get up quickly, so he said: "Grandma, it's just a poor Taoist who is nagging, so don't say anything." The road is difficult, you two follow Pindao and move forward carefully." After saying that, he got into the cave and started to climb up the stone steps.

The light inside the tunnel is very dark, because the light outside is blocked by the brocade, and the steep stone steps are still covered with gravel, so the climb is very difficult. The Taoist priest with a grimace held on to the wall. He reluctantly opened the way ahead. After walking for half a cup of tea, he was already exhausted. Panting heavily, he stopped next to a stone cave. He looked up at the road ahead. He still couldn't see the end of the straight stone steps. , so he turned around and said, "I can't do it anymore. Let's take a rest. I can't breathe evenly."

After hearing this, Luo Laoqi quickly sat down on the stone steps, took a few deep breaths, and then said: "Damn it, there are dark shadows in front of the Sa family. We can't climb any lower. We haven't reached the end yet." long?"

"No." The grim-faced Taoist priest said, stretching out his hand to open a gap in the ground brocade outside the cave, tilting his head and looking out. The three of them had climbed quite high indeed. They were estimated to be twenty or thirty feet above the ground. But the parallel distance has not yet reached the tower at the end of the Shinto. According to this calculation, I am afraid that half of the distance has not yet been climbed. The Taoist priest with a grimace sighed and said: "Just rest for a while and continue climbing. No matter how long it grows, it will eventually have a head. Is it possible that it can continue to climb?" Climb to Nantianmen?"

"It's good that it really leads to the Nantian Gate. I heard that the fairies in the sky are very energetic, with big hips, round waists and good looks. They are not like the women in the world, who are as dry as chewing firewood." "

"Did you hear it wrong?" The Taoist priest with a grimace asked curiously: "In my impression, fairies are as slim as willow leaves, but I have never heard of the model you mentioned. If it really has a big butt and a thick waist like you said, , can it fly?"

"Then why can't it fly? The giant spirit god is so big, and it's still delaying him..."

"Aren't you two shouting that you are tired? Why are you not even breathing yet and starting to argue again?" He Siniang saw that the two of them were getting further and further away from each other, so she hurriedly interrupted.

The Taoist priest with a grimace climbed on the pole and agreed: "Six Niang is right, Lao Qi, you are too outrageous. Why do you talk about fairies in front of fairies? Do you think Si Niang's waist is thick?"

"I have never seen Siniang's waist. Taoist Priest, did you peek at Siniang taking a shower on the road?"

"Hey! You guys..."

"Oh, you two, shut up!" He Siniang glanced at the two of them and said angrily: "You two can't be idle. Once you are idle, you can't stop working. You don't even see the shadow of the underground palace. Come on, I’m still in the mood to chat here. If you two want to chat, just sit here and chat, I’m going to continue walking.” After saying that, he passed the grim-faced Taoist priest and continued to climb up the stone steps.

Upon seeing this, the Taoist priest with a grimace and Luo Laoqi hurriedly raised their buttocks and stood up, saying, "Don't worry, Siniang, wait for us." At the same time, they followed him.

This time, the three of them did not rest in the middle. When they felt tired, they slowed down their pace. They just gritted their teeth and kept going up. After walking for another incense stick, they finally saw the arc top of the tunnel and waited to climb to the last level. The stone steps and tunnel instantly changed to a straight angle, and the mountain climbing stone steps also came to an end, and then an open-air stone bridge appeared in front of them.

The three of them didn't care about what was in front of them at this time. After climbing up the stone steps, they collapsed on the ground. In addition to the heavy breathing in the tunnel, there was the sound of Luo Laoqi's babbling and humming. After a while, the grimace Taoist priest took the lead. After coming back to his senses, he sat up on the ground and looked forward. He saw that both sides of the stone bridge were extremely bright, and there seemed to be no mountains and rocks to block them. The whistling wind coming from the front also showed that this stone bridge was extremely powerful. It may be built suspended in the air.

The grim-faced Taoist priest felt that the road ahead was not good, so he stood up with his noodle-like legs, and slowly approached the stone bridge. This time he could see the situation of the road ahead - the stone bridge in front of him was indeed suspended in the air. It is less than ten feet away from the top of the mountain. Under the bridge is a hundred-foot abyss. The stone bridge is located at the angle between the west cliff and the north cliff. It is also the path connecting the two mountains. Looking to the left from the stone bridge is a deep mountain crevice. Looking out on the right side, you can see the entire valley of the Huiwang Mausoleum. The valley is now shrouded in clouds and mist, and the fairy air is faint. Combined with the shape of the entire valley, it really corresponds to the saying in the legend of Linnan in Qiuchi Kingdom: "If Come to the throne of the gods."

The length of the stone bridge is not short. It looks like it will be thirty or forty steps away, but the width is only half a foot. There are no handrails on both sides of the bridge to block it. It is just a smooth stone bridge. Accidentally, he fell and went straight to the chopping board of Lord Yama. The Taoist priest with a grimace was not usually afraid of heights. After all, he was used to climbing over walls to move around. However, after seeing the stone bridge, Rao couldn't help but feel numb. He couldn't help but turn around and said : "You two, while your legs are still weak, come over and have a look."
