Along the way, Zhang Guozhong thought about it and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the whole thing.
First of all, the Huangxian left a poem saying that if he found the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen, he could find the body of Su Tielili.
In the legend of the Eight Immortals Suppressing Demons , Zhu Yunwen's final whereabouts are related to the Hangu Cave, that is to say, if you find the Hangu Cave, you can find Zhu Yunqi, and you can find Su Tieli's body.
But judging from the current situation, Hangu Cave, Zhu Yunwen, and Su Tielia seem to have nothing to do with each other.
First of all, there are no ancient tombs and no houses in the small mountain col.
It is possible that Zhu Yunzhen also emerged in Hangu Cave wherever he is.
Unless there is no Hangu Cave at the bottom of that hill.
Secondly, regardless of whether there is a Hangu Cave under the hill or not, there is no reason for Su Tieli's body to appear in Hubei.
Who would be so full that they have nothing to do?
What is the purpose of transporting the body of a flat-headed commoner across provinces?
The more he thought about it, the more confused Zhang Guozhong's mind became.
It seemed that the only way to find out was to dig up the small mountain col.
Wudang Mountain, Fuzhen Temple.
Seeing Zhang Guozhong, Taoist Master Chen Guang was also very embarrassed, because until now, there was no news about the so-called Hangu Cave.
I heard that Zhang Guozhong himself found a place that was suspected of being Hangu Cave.
Taoist Master Chen Guang didn't quite believe it, but if you don't believe it, it's better to find some clues than to find nothing at all.
Hearing that Zhang Guozhong wanted to borrow a decent guy to explore the suspected Hangu Cave, Taoist Master Chen Guang also had a sad look on his face.
Throughout the ages, many masters of the Wudang Mountains have possessed magical weapons.
However, according to the rules of the Wudang Mountains, when these masters become immortals and return to immortality, their weapons must be buried with their golden bodies, unless the immortal master has It is a legacy to pass down weapons to future generations.
Otherwise, if future generations want to become powerful, they will have to rely on their own efforts.
Especially in modern society, Taoists rarely have swords on their bodies.
Even if they do, they are just decorations and have not even been used.
It is easier to break into the cold bone cave with such a thing than to hang yourself with a rope.
"Taoist Master Chen Guang, you don't actually need to have any famous ancient swords, just passable ones."
Zhang Guozhong didn't have any hope of borrowing a guy of Juque's magnitude.
"As long as he can preside over ordinary rituals."
According to Zhang Guozhong's prediction, , although this Hangu Cave is rumored to be magical, it is different from the Bashan Tibetan cave that I have visited before.
A dangerous place like a treasure cave or a pond is definitely not of the same magnitude.
It is at best similar to a certain town platform in Bashan.
Back then, Qin Ge even entered the treasure cave with a butcher knife, but now he has more experience and cultivation than The quality has improved since we went to Bashan, so there is no need to go to the next Hangu Cave with the giant tower.
Of course, it would be best to have such an artifact.
If not, even an ordinary killing blade should be able to handle it.
"Well," Zhang Guozhong said, Chen Guang's face seemed to be even more uneasy, "Headmaster Zhang, to tell you the truth, it is really..."
"Your place is not all made of wood, right?"
Zhang Guozhong frowned.
It is more or less the ancestral home of Wudang.
Although it was ransacked by the Red Guards back then, it's not like they couldn't find the real ones.
It seems that there is no other way.
I went back to Tianjin to pick up the guy.
It’s not that I don’t care about the train ticket price.
The key is that it’s too much trouble.
Brother Elson is still lying in bed.
"This," Taoist Master Chen Guang frowned, "I can't say that I don't have one.
I collected a handful before, but I'm afraid that Zhang Zhang teaches you that you will dislike it."
"Hey, Master Chenguang, where are you talking about?"

Zhang Guozhong was very happy when he heard that Chenguang Taoist indeed had something in stock.
"As long as it can be used, I just went down to take a look.
It's not like I'm going to do magic tricks to subdue monsters.
I just need to be able to defend myself." , as long as it’s not made of wood.”
"In that case, headmaster Zhang, please come with me."
Chen Guang said, getting up and taking Zhang Guozhong to his room.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Guozhong was completely shocked.
In addition to a single bed, the room was fully equipped with a large color TV, air conditioner, stereo, and even a DVD player.
The whole room was made like a hotel.
The simple style he had when he came here a few years ago is completely different.
You can't tell that this Chenguang old man looks quite orthodox on the outside, but deep down he turns out to be an old joker.
"This is all arranged for me by my precious apprentice, and I don't usually look at it."
Taoist Master Chenguang seemed to notice Zhang Guozhong's consternation, and kept explaining, "Headmaster Zhang, to tell you the truth, my master used to There was a decent thing called the Changqing Sword.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese came up to the mountain and forcibly took away my uncle's sword with a tortoise box without a firing pin.
My master was afraid that the sword would also be stolen.
The Japanese took the sword away and hid it under the glazed tiles of the main hall.
As a result, the battle was not over until the old man became immortal, and the incident was forgotten until the main hall was renovated not long ago.
It's still hidden under the tiles, and has been rusted by years of wind and rain."
As he spoke, Taoist Master Chenguang pulled out a paper box for the air conditioner from under the bed.
"The Sword of Everlasting Love is in Wudang" Zhang Guozhong was stunned.
When he was making up for the history of the Ming Dynasty, he once read an ancient novel about the secret history of the royal family called Da Nei Za Shi.
The author was a eunuch named Zhang Shuangjin, who recorded in this book In his later years, Emperor Chengzu ordered Yang Guyun, a very famous swordsmith at the time, to forge a divine sword for the prince's enthronement.
Unexpectedly, Yang Guyun suddenly fell ill and died just as he was halfway through casting the sword.
The second half of the sword was cast by Yang Guyun's wife, Yang Mengshi, for her husband.
Because he thought the sword was bad luck, Emperor Chengzu did not use the sword for the crown prince's enthronement.
Instead, he gave the sword to Yang Mengshi and named the sword "Changqing" to affirm Yang Mengshi's forging the sword for her husband. feelings of loyalty.
At this time, Taoist Master Chenguang mentioned the Changqing Sword, and Zhang Guozhong immediately thought of the Changqing Sword mentioned in Dauchi Shishi.
"Why, Master Zhang, have you heard of that sword?"
Taoist priest Chen Guang opened the air-conditioning box and saw a rusty iron sword lying among the piles of waste newspapers.
The wood of the sword's handle was already in bad condition.
The shape of the sword is gone, the sword spike is gone, and the sword blade seems It is wider and thicker than an ordinary sword.
The blade has been rusted to a yellowish black color, and even has cracks in some places.
It seems that a daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law after all.
In terms of the control of the heat when making the sword and the later anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation of the sword body The technology is still not very good.
If this sword had been forged by Yang Guyun himself from beginning to end, it would not have become so rusty after just a few decades of wind and rain erosion.
"This sword has been traveling with my master for more than thirty years.
Although it cannot be compared with Zhanlu and Juque, and the steel mouth is average, it can still be regarded as a good sword."
Old Taoist Chen Guang took out the iron sword from the cardboard box and took it casually.
A rag wiped the hilt of the sword and the blade, "If you really don't dislike it, Master Zhang, why not give it to you, Master Zhang, and it will not be in vain for you to clear the grievances of Senior Yun Lingzi Zhaoxue."
"This" Zhang Guozhong took the iron sword and weighed it in his hand.
It seemed to fit well.
When he touched the blade of the sword with his hand, a large piece of rust came off.
The entire blade seemed to be completely rusted.
"I'm just borrowing it, Taoist Master, you don't have to be so polite."
"Alas," Taoist Master Chen Guang frowned, "Headmaster Zhang, if you like it, accept it.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Why should you be so open-minded?"
"Hey, I" Zhang Guozhong was also confused.
When did he say that he liked "Taoist Master Chenguang, you misunderstood."
"To be honest, putting this sword here has always been a worry for me.
Being able to give it to someone like Zhang Zhangjiao to collect is a worry for me.
Zhang Zhangjiao, just forget it.
Don't refuse."
Chenguang Taoist Master said earnestly and held Zhang Guozhong's hand.
Speaking of this, Zhang Guozhong couldn't refuse.
If he refuses anymore, he will obviously look down on him.
To be honest, in theory, an edged sword is definitely a controlled knife, but this long love sword is definitely an exception.
Even if it is carried struttingly on the back, it is strange that it is not regarded as a scrap collector.
Holding the Changqing Sword, Zhang Guozhong and Yang Zhou returned to Lijiawan.
At this time, Li Laoer had prepared ropes and flashlights according to Zhang Guozhong's arrangement, and had contacted several strong young men in the same village.
Zhang Guozhong didn't waste any time, and took his people to the small mountain col again that day.
After a while of busy work, he dug a hole under the gravel, which was about half a meter square, and could barely fit a person in.
There is an iron fence about two or three meters down from the entrance of the cave.
Judging from the rust, it seems that it is not a modern thing.
The darkness under the fence is bottomless.
When you stick your hand at the entrance of the cave, you can only feel the cold air inside the cave, which makes people shudder. feeling.
"Zhang Banxian, you really want to go down."
Crouching at the entrance of the cave, Li Laoer seemed a little worried, "Do you need me to find someone to find some decent guy for you?"
"Why, you have a way to get good weapons?"
Zhang Guozhong was also moved when he heard that Li Laoer could find a decent guy.
To be honest, Zhang Guozhong didn't have much confidence in this rusty love sword.
It might not be as good as the butcher's knife that Qin Ge took when he hid in the treasure cave in Bashan Mountain.
"My brother-in-law is a Taoist man.
Do you need me to ask him to get you a musket?"
Li Laoer put his mouth under Zhang Guozhong's ear, "If you want it, I'll make a call and I can send it over in an hour." " "Well, forget it."
Zhang Guozhong was helpless.
He said to himself that he was not going to rob or kidnap people.
There was no point in using a musket.
"If I can't come out in two hours, call the police."
After pulling out the iron fence with a hemp rope, Zhang Guozhong tied the hemp rope around his waist.
Before going down the cave, he left his cell phone with Li Laoer, " No matter what you do, don’t come down, and don’t pull up the rope.”
After descending more than ten meters, Zhang Guozhong suddenly found that the space around him was getting bigger and bigger.
When he first came down, the diameter of the hole was less than one meter at most, but now it was more than two meters.
Using a flashlight to shine down, I found that the cave wall was sloping downwards and became wider as it went down.
It was like an inverted trumpet shape with a narrow top and a wide bottom.
"Thorn Urn" Zhang Guozhong's heart moved.
This kind of inverted trumpet-shaped underground space is in It is called a trumpet urn in Taoism and is a yin-yang layout theory deduced from the tomb principles of the Warring States Period.
At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty declined, and more than a hundred small countries in the Central Plains were self-sufficient and living a miserable life.
It was also from this time that the royal families of some small countries who were well-fed and thought of lust began to be convinced of the impact of tombs on future generations and even the rise and fall of the country.
They began to blindly place their hopes for the prosperity of the country and family on the tombs of princes, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire them.
Some talented folk participated in the design and construction of tombs, and many folk magicians made a fortune as a result.

Among them were some killer figures in the treasury.
Many small countries were emptied by other countries because of the empty treasury due to the construction of large tombs.
Most of the royal tombs in the early Spring and Autumn Period were box tombs, which meant that the surroundings of the tomb were straight up and down, like a box.
The weight of the earth above the entire tomb was all borne by the wooden pillars in the tomb.
Within an appropriate period of time, this design could indeed gather a large amount of tombs.
The gas ensures that the body of the tomb owner will not rot, but it will easily collapse over time, not to mention if there is an earthquake.
In the late Spring and Autumn Period, Bian Ji, a native of Chen State, invented a bucket tomb.
The floor area on the ground was about the same as that of a box tomb, but the walls of the tomb were sloping downward.
The entire tomb was like a bucket used to scoop rice.
Compared with box tombs, the load-bearing design of bucket tombs has changed from pillars to wooden frame structures, which has been qualitatively improved in many aspects such as load-bearing capacity, corrosion resistance and earthquake resistance, and the construction volume is small and the cost is low.
In addition, bucket tombs also have a feature that box tombs do not have, which is that they can use the special structure with sloping walls to quickly dissipate the resentment of the deceased.
I don’t know whether Bian Ji is really ahead of his time, or whether he made a mistake with the original intention of saving time and effort, but no matter what, in that era when there was no such thing as transcendence, the advantage of dispelling grudges was undoubtedly a great advantage for the royal family.
A huge temptation.
After that, box tombs, which wasted money and wasted money, were quickly eliminated, while the high-quality and low-priced bucket tombs were popular until the Later Han Dynasty.
Even tomb robbers in the Central Plains called themselves bucket buckets.
In later generations, with the unification of the Central Plains, the improvement of comprehensive national strength and productivity, the development of construction technology in each dynasty and each generation, and the final unification of Taoism and Yinzhai Feng Shui theory, the design concept of tombs gradually faded out of people's sight.
However, in the Taoist circle, the accidental function of tomb fighting to spread resentment has not been forgotten.
Since the structure with a large upper part and a small lower part can spread resentment, can the structure with a small upper part and a large lower part be able to seal away evildoers?
According to legend, the Tang Dynasty In the early days, an ancient tomb in Ankang, Shaanxi Province was robbed.
Because the tomb is located in the Juyin Pond, no one can cure the raging ghosts.
Later, a Taoist priest named Chai Fang instructed the people to transform the ancient tomb into a reverse bucket tomb at noon, and placed a large number of attributes at the bottom of the tomb.
Yin's ancient fan, the injustice has indeed never appeared again.
Since then, many people have used the same method to cure their grievances.
Facts have proved that reverse tomb fighting does have the opposite function.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Maoshan Sect formally incorporated this method into the latest edition of Maoshan Shuzhi and named it Trumpet Urn.
Although this method was approved by the Maoshan Sect, due to the large amount of work, there were not many specific rituals.
People really adopt.
The cave at this moment has the structural characteristics of a trumpet urn visually, and this naturally formed inverted trumpet cave is much larger in scale than the man-made one.
The effect of forbidding injustice is bound to be similar to that of artificial trumpet urns. different.
"It seems that this is indeed the Cold Bone Cave."
Zhang Guozhong said to himself.
In Zhang Guozhong's opinion, the reason why Zhang Sanfeng put Zhao Jinzhou's body into this hole was not because of the strong negative energy in the cave, but because the hole was a natural trumpet urn.
He originally thought that such a thing was a trumpet urn.
The actual effect was first certified by the Maoshan School.
At this time, it seems that Zhang Sanfeng's recognition of the trumpet urn should be earlier than that of the Maoshan School.
The rope continued to be lowered until the hole above the head became as big as a soybean grain, and the bottom of the hole appeared within the lighting range of the flashlight.
At this time, the cave could no longer be called a cave.
After untying the rope around his waist, Zhang Guozhong looked around with his flashlight and found that the four spaces were twenty meters square, and the ground under his feet seemed to have been artificially built.
However, it is much smoother than the ground in the mountain col outside.
The whole cave is filled with moisture.
You don't need to ask to know that this cave is indeed connected to the underground water.
Water is yin, just like the powdered stone.
The structure of the entire cave is similar to the reverse tomb first invented by Taoist Chai Fang.
They are exactly the same, except that they are all naturally formed.
"Could it be that Su Tieli's body was also thrown in here?"

Looking around at the upward sloping cave walls, Zhang Guozhong had another wild thought.
If Su Tieli's body was really thrown here, it would not be difficult to explain why Old Liu The head cannot attract its soul.
In the middle of the cave bottom, Zhang Guozhong also found a stone bed.
The entire stone bed looked black and gray under the flashlight, as if something had been burned.
"What is this for lighting a fire to keep warm?"
Zhang Guozhong walked around the stone bed a few times and found that there was nothing else on the stone bed except some charcoal fragments mixed with some strange gray-white powder.
After searching around the surrounding stone walls, Zhang Guozhong found a small hole about four feet high.
The moisture seemed to come from this hole.
"Could it be that this place is connected to an underground river?"
Zhang Guozhong leaned down and spoke with I shined my flashlight into the cave and saw that there was an iron fence in the cave.
It was dark outside, "Could it be that Zhao Jinzhou's body, Zhu Yunwen's golden body, and Su Tieli's body are all inside?"
At this moment, for Zhang Guozhong, he was more curious than guilty, and the two-layer iron fence made It's like a zoo.
Could it be that Sun Wukong is suppressing the truth inside, but After experiencing the baptism of Bashan Treasure Cave and Dingchi, Zhang Guozhong was already used to this kind of small scene.
"Damn it, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?"
Zhang Guozhong leaned down and got into the small hole.
Holding the iron fence with one hand and exerting force, a rattling sound was heard.
The iron fence had been rusted for many years.
He was pulled down with the frame, and he took two deep breaths.
Although he knew that there was a 99999 chance that Su Tieli's body would not appear in this hole, driven by curiosity, Zhang Guozhong still pulled him.
He took out the rusty long love sword, leaned down and got into the small hole
