The entire red stone wall is like an open-air movie screen, showing a mysterious picture before our eyes.
The light on my head and shoulders flickered more and more fiercely, and my face became more and more gloomy.
The sudden light from the red stone wall was definitely not a mechanism, but a strong evil energy emanating from the water.
But this evil spirit, like the water in the pool, was trapped inside by the surrounding red stone walls.
There is only one kind of stone in the world that can block evil spirits and emit light, which is the sky fire stone.
Skyfire stone is a special material used by Taoists to make magical weapons. It can only be found in the Flame Mountain in Xinjiang.
The Flame Mountains are located in the Turpan Basin of Xinjiang, on the northern route of the original Silk Road.
It is a small mountain range composed of various red ores from the Mesozoic Jurassic, Cretaceous and Tertiary periods. The temperature remains high all year round. From a distance, it looks like a blazing fire on the mountain.
According to legend, this mountain is the Flame Mountain where Sun Wukong borrowed the banana fan in "Journey to the West". It has a very, very awesome origin.
It is said that Sun Wukong kicked over the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun when he was making a fuss in the sky. At that time, several stones with fairy fire fell on the earth, forming the Flame Mountain.
The legend is definitely false, but the Flame Mountain is indeed a place with great reputations.
There is a kind of stone on the Flame Mountain called Skyfire Stone. This stone can isolate all the evil spirits in the world, and is most suitable for setting up formations that trap evil spirits.
However, the formation of Sky Fire Stone is very difficult. Most of the entire Flame Mountain is made of low-quality Sky Fire Stone, and not many of them can really be used.
After so many years of mining, they have almost disappeared. Only some large sects such as Quanzhen, Kunlun, and Maoshan still have some, but they are all collected as treasures.
If I told others that I had seen such a huge sky fire stone, which was hollowed out by some force and filled with water to form a small lake-like pool, I'm afraid everyone would think that I was blinded or talking nonsense.
We were all nervous about the strange things in the cave, but after waiting for a few minutes, there were no new changes.
Lan Jianguo focused his attention on the pattern on the stone wall again, and he exclaimed: "What a miracle! This stone can actually shine suddenly.
"And the patterns carved on this stone wall are definitely not made by ordinary craftsmen. This is the carving technique used by the imperial craftsmen during the Qing Dynasty. It is simply too exquisite. These techniques have long been lost."
Lan Jianguo felt very sorry. Unfortunately, this place was too remote and there was no way to effectively mine and utilize it.
Otherwise, not to mention other treasures here, the mural craftsmanship alone is an inestimable cultural wealth.
Lan Jianguo forgot his fear, took a few steps forward, and carefully observed the patterns on the Skyfire stone wall.
Du Jun, Lan Yue and Ai Li stepped forward when they saw no movement.
Lan Yue said in surprise: "The carved dragons on both sides of this stone gate have clouds floating on them, it looks like the Nantian Gate..."
"Wait, don't go, you all stand back." I suddenly shouted.
Lan Yue was startled and said, "Xiao Dao, is an evil spirit about to appear?"
I stared at the skyfire stone wall in front of me and said, "Evil spirits are definitely going to appear. The stone wall and the pool you see are the second Feng Shui formation, called Carp Jumping over the Dragon Gate."
"Carp jumps over the dragon's gate?" Ellie screamed from behind.
"Brother Xiaodao, is it that ancient Chinese legend? The one where a carp can turn into a dragon!"
I nodded and said, "Yes, that's the legend.
"What is painted on the stone wall in front is the legendary Longmen Liang. And this pool is the Hualong Pool."
My current mood is as if I have traveled to a mythical world. I am speechless, horrified, and also feel ridiculous.
There is a beautiful python with Chang'e flying to the moon in front of it, and here comes the Feng Shui array of fish jumping over the dragon gate.
The carp leaping over the dragon gate and Chang'e flying to the moon are both familiar myths.
And the carp leaping over the dragon's gate may be more familiar to people than Chang'e flying to the moon. I heard my grandfather tell it when I was a child.
It is said that there is a place like a portal in Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang. This place is called Yumen.
Every late spring, countless golden carp swim upstream along the Yellow River. They gather under the Yumen and all jump hard.
If any fish can cross the Jade Gate, it will turn into a blue dragon and fly to the sky.
Therefore, this Jade Gate is also called Dragon Gate.
This is where the fish leaps over the dragon's gate and becomes worth a hundred times.
But these are all legendary things. The Longmen area still exists, and there are still many people living around it.
I have never heard of any fish turning into a dragon. On the contrary, countless carps from the Yellow River were fished out and made into delicacies for drinking.
While we were surprised, the water in the pool changed again.
There seemed to be wind inside, and the green water began to rotate, and the speed of rotation became faster and faster, and gradually a vortex appeared on the water surface.
A wisp of red appeared, and the red color showed more and more until it rose above the water.
Brush, red light shines, and a huge lotus stretches out from the water.
This lotus flower is blood red all over, and is shining with red light. The petals are almost transparent, and there are still a few pieces wrapped together in the middle of the lotus flower, which has not fully bloomed.
A few drops of turquoise pool water condense on the open petals on the periphery. The flower stem below is as thick as an adult's body, and eight huge lotus leaves are supported around the lotus.
When we are in a daze.
Welcome the lotus!
Hong Gang, who was kneeling on the ground, shouted.
His voice became hoarse with excitement, and he kowtowed a few more times.
"Xiao Dao, you must not come here. Our ancestors once said that when the Kingdom of Heaven opens to me, a receiving lotus will appear, and the passage to Heaven will soon appear."
Hong Gang shouted to us at the top of his lungs.
The petals of the lotus grew bigger and bigger, and the flower turned slowly, and finally the direction where it stopped was facing Hong Gang's head.
A strong scent of lotus flowers wafted around us.
Amitabha!
Hong Gang was kneeling on the ground motionless, with a pious expression on his dog's face. He clasped his paws together, waiting there for the passage to heaven to appear.
After Lotus appeared, Lan Jianguo and others were also stunned. Were they on full alert waiting to deal with evil spirits?
But it doesn’t look like there are monsters or monsters now!
Instead, I calmed down, and now I finally understand the purpose of the three-ring moon formation. Why is the carp jumping over the dragon gate the last hurdle to protect the treasures of the Qing Dynasty?
This is what the willing person means by taking the bait.
There is no road here, and the evil spirit is trapped in the pool by the sky fire stone, and it cannot get out at all.
But you have to break through this formation to find the real entrance to the treasure.
Then you have to take the initiative to enter the pool.
It's like the legendary carp jumping over the dragon's gate. If you jump on it, you can survive. If you can't jump on it, you'll be struck to death by lightning.
In fact, the guardian dragon that Hong Gang kept thinking about might be the evil spirit protecting the formation eye.
What kind of heaven?
That really allows you to go to heaven, or to the West.
It requires a special method to get the worshiper into the pool to become the prey of evil spirits.
