Chapter 35 The mysterious enemy
Anyway, he searched all over the Qiankun building built in the shape of a snail, but still couldn't find a single figure.
When he walked outside a dilapidated room and pushed open the door, the aroma of books and ink immediately rushed inside.
"After all this time, why is the smell of books and ink here still so strong?" He frowned and walked in.
This loft is the senior brother's loft two years ago, and it is also the original owner of the bronze mirror.
Two years ago, he secretly paid attention to this cell, but he never dared to blindly go deep into it. At this time, Gufeng was already the owner of no one, so naturally he didn't need to care.
This time he returned to the lonely peak, and he had two things to do. The first was to seize the mountain-protecting formation on the lonely peak, and the second was to find the origin of the bronze mirror.
The origin of the bronze mirror can only be found in Senior Brother's cave.
In Liao's room, there was a table, and there was a painting on the table. There was a landscape painting in the painting. There was a man and a woman in the painting. If you look closely, the man's expression was very similar to that of his deceased senior brother.
Next to the man, the woman looked very beautiful, dressed in white, and there was a scent of books between her eyebrows.
The more Lin Jingzhe looked at her, the more she felt that this woman's appearance was very consistent with the appearance of a woman he knew. Suddenly, he suddenly remembered, who else could this woman be if she wasn't the Third Senior Sister?
In this painting, the fallen painting is clearly visible, and the ink is fragrant. It is obvious that the painting fell off a few days ago.
And I separated from Third Senior Sister seven days ago, which means that Third Senior Sister will come back during these seven days.
Then how did she get in without a spiritual tablet?
Is it possible that there are other secret passages in the back mountain? That secret passage can lead directly to the top of the mountain, enter and exit the solitary peak, and enter the mountain-protecting formation.
Then why did she return to this cave? Could it be that she simply painted this painting, thinking about her relationship with her senior brother?
Let’s look at the writing in the lower left corner of this painting: “Beicang Feilong.”
What does the Beicangzhou Feilong mean? There is no record of flying dragons in the painting, so why is the third senior sister named "Beicang Feilong"?
"What tricks did these three senior sisters get up to?" Lin Jingzhe frowned. He shifted his gaze and searched the house for information about his senior brother's life experience.
Probably due to the relationship between the Third Senior Sister, this cave has not been cleared, and there are still some notes left by the Senior Senior Brother in it.
The notes contained only the senior brother's daily life and nothing about his life experience.
However, after some searching, he finally found a genealogy about his family in the corner.
Although he was curious about why the senior brother brought the family tree with him, there might be another reason, and there must be a record in the family tree.
So, he opened the genealogy and read it carefully.
It turns out that each of them has a copy of their genealogy, and they each carry it with them.
The senior brother's name is Wang Shibo. He was originally from Cangzhou, Chu State. Someone in his family was an official in the court. Later, he was demoted for offending others, and the whole family moved to Baiyu Town in the south of Chu State.
Baiyu Town and Yelou Town are neighboring towns, but they are more than 200 kilometers apart.
"Looks like I have to go to Baiyu Town." Lin Jingzhe frowned. The genealogy did not record where the ancient mirror was obtained, but since it was carried by the senior brother, it must be an ancestral item.
After leaving Senior Brother's cave, he went to the back mountain again. In the cemetery at the back mountain, more than twenty graves appeared at some point.
Lin Jingzhe sighed. He didn't need to guess, he knew that these graves belonged to innocent senior brothers who were implicated in their deaths during the riot.
"Although I allowed you to die early, I also severely injured the old witch for you, which can be regarded as revenge for you."
Although he didn't know whether the old witch was dead or not, looking at the three rays of light coming at that time, he would definitely not spare the old witch lightly. Otherwise, the old witch who escaped from danger would sooner or later return to the lonely peak and seize the mountain guard.
Formation.
"Now I finally know why I found everything empty when I returned to Gufeng. The disciples in the Taoist temple either escaped or died."
Or, the surviving disciples were all let go by the kind-hearted Fifth Senior Sister.
Thinking of Fifth Senior Sister, Lin Jingzhe wiped the corner of her mouth with a smile and said lightly: "I don't know if I will meet her in the future."
Putting down my thoughts, I started searching in the back mountain cemetery to see if there was a secret passage leading directly to the top of the mountain.
At dusk, he almost rummaged through the cemetery on the back hill, but found nothing.
Just as he was about to sigh, three figures suddenly flew from the eastern sky.
Look at the direction those three people are flying from, it's the lonely peak here.
Lin Jingzhe didn't know if these three figures had anything to do with the three rays of light he encountered a few days ago, but looking at the way they were rushing towards them now, they were definitely coming for the treasure on this solitary peak.
Treasure? Apart from the mountain-protecting formation, is there anything else on this solitary peak that can catch their eye?
He lowered his body and hid beside the grave, looking at the three figures in the sky.
Just look at the three figures with flying swords at their feet. The flying swords are full of light, with haloes emitting from them.
In an instant, they were over the lonely peak and hovering.
They were divided into two men and one woman, each wearing a green Taoist robe with Bagua diagrams tattooed on the back.
"Who are they? Looking at the same clothes, they should belong to the same sect." Lin Jingzhe thought to himself.
At this moment, a man took out something that looked like a talisman from his sleeve, put it to his mouth, muttered something, and suddenly typed it into the sky.
A ray of light flashed, and the mountain guarding formation opened a door in the sky.
When the three of them saw this, they jumped down from the opened door. In the blink of an eye, their figures were covered by the trees and disappeared.
Lin Jingzhe saw that the direction they disappeared in was the direction of the Star Reaching Hall, and she couldn't help but feel a shiver in her heart. They could easily enter the mountain-protecting formation of this solitary peak, and they must have come for the mountain-protecting formation.
But, is the formation eye of the mountain guarding formation really in the direction of the Star Picking Palace? But I searched there for a long time and still didn't find it.
After thinking for a while, he was hesitating whether to step forward to check, when suddenly there was a clicking sound in his ears, and then, the invisible halo surrounding the entire solitary peak slowly shrank, until after half a ring, there was no sound
There was movement.
Lin Jingzhe felt that the magical power from the mountain guarding formation had slowly disappeared. To be precise, it had shrunk, and it was shrinking in the direction of the Star Reaching Hall.
"Can the mountain-protecting formation be withdrawn like this?" He frowned, and suddenly his hair stood on end, making his hair stand on end.
He felt like he was being watched, as if there were strange eyes staring at him. Although he couldn't see it, he could clearly feel it.
He suddenly remembered that it was divine consciousness, and it came from one of the three people.
"Who!" A loud shout came from the direction of Star Picking Palace. In the blink of an eye, the voice came from far to near, and it was so fast that it could be described as chasing the wind and lightning.
Lin Jingzhe was so frightened that she didn't dare to hesitate at all. She spread her legs and plunged towards the cliff of the back mountain.
When he was about to jump into the cliff, he saw a man in green robes flying towards him with a sword behind him. The sword was filled with light, making it even more dazzling.
"If you run away from the law like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape being caught."
While Lin Jingzhe was thinking about it, she saw a dark hole appeared on the hanging wall below. She couldn't help but feel overjoyed and quickly used the wind control technique to quickly move towards the hole.
Perhaps because I jumped in a hurry last time and was not familiar with the wind control technique, I didn't realize that there was a cave under the cliff.
He landed on the edge of the cave entrance, quickly grabbed the rock in the cave entrance, and using his strength, Kankan jumped into the cave.
It was pitch dark inside the cave, so he quickly used the fireball technique to light up the surrounding area.
This cave seems to be formed naturally, all the way down to the foot of the mountain.
"It turns out that Third Senior Sister relied on this cave to get up to Gufeng." Lin Jingzhe suddenly realized.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a noise outside the cave, and it seemed that the man was chasing after him.
He glanced back, and although he hadn't seen the figure yet, he felt that a spiritual consciousness was already sweeping towards him.
Too bad, he actually found it here too.
He immediately spread his legs and ran towards the cave downstream.
This cave can only accommodate one person, and cannot control the wind or fly with a sword in the air.
Perhaps he was running down too fast, and he almost couldn't make it in time and hit the rock wall.
After running for a long time, he didn't know how far away he was from the foot of the mountain, but he always felt that the cave was getting steeper and steeper. Many times, he almost lost control and slipped down from the top.
The figure behind him would scan with his spiritual consciousness from time to time, making his brows furrowed even more. He suddenly thought about what would happen if his companion stopped him at the foot of the mountain.
Unknowingly, the cave beneath my feet gradually stabilized, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer to the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, a strong smell of gunpowder came from the stable cave body in front.
"What's going on? There's gunpowder hidden in this cave?"
Lin Jingzhe quickly extinguished the flames. Just kidding, as long as gunpowder is ignited in this enclosed cave, the huge fire that spreads can engulf and dissolve people in an instant.
Could it be that the bag of gunpowder that Senior Sister gave me was obtained from this cave?
The stable cave body seemed to be wider, allowing three or four people to stand, and beside the rock wall, there were several strange jars placed flat.
The jar contains powder that is dark and rough to the touch, and exudes a strong pungent smell.
Lin Jingzhe felt that these medicinal powders seemed very simple. He could still taste them even dozens of steps away.
Since the smell of gunpowder was so strong, how did the senior sister and the others suppress the smell and hide it from Ziyu and others through all kinds of tricks?
It seems that the senior sister also said "Thunder from heaven and fire from earth" at that time. Could it be that this is really thunder from heaven and earth fire, different from other gunpowder?
Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea, grabbed two jars, and took steps toward the entrance of the cave.
Perhaps we were almost at the foot of the mountain, the terrain was extremely stable, and soon we heard the sound of water flowing in front of us.
He cheered up and quickened his pace.
