Sanya climbed up from the rope with Baiding, holding several white fish in her hands, as well as giant centipedes, spiders, scorpions and so on.
Everyone grilled fish and poisonous insects and had a hearty meal. The light in the crack above their heads also disappeared, and it became dark outside.
Jiang Zhonglou was sleeping against the mountain wall, with Yajima and Sanya lying in his arms, one on the left and the other on the right.
The three strong men quietly guarded them...
The next day, everyone woke up, had something to eat and then continued to explore the secret land of Danba.
It was almost noon when we came to a huge cave.
I saw that the cave was densely packed with poisonous insects, and it was so bustling that people couldn't help but feel intense fear!
Looking from a distance, there is a faint green light in the center of the cave.
"Wow! That must be where the Gong Jing is hidden. Let's go there quickly!"
Sanya shouted excitedly.
"Be careful, there are poisonous insects everywhere here, it must be very dangerous!"
Yajma reminded from behind.
"fine..."
Sanya raised her hand and fired with a shuttle, knocking away a group of giant poisonous insects. Three strong men followed behind her, breathing fire to clear the way.
Everyone walked through the vast ocean of poisonous insects and walked towards the center of the cave.
The cave is warm and humid, and there are huge colorful insect eggs everywhere under your feet.
Sanya and the three strongmen stepped on the insect eggs until they made a "pop" sound, and a lot of indescribable juice flowed out...
Obviously, this big cave is the common nest of all poisonous insects.
They all lay their eggs here and use the warm and humid environment of the cave to hatch...
The cave was huge, and everyone walked for a long time before arriving at the green light in the center.
What I saw was a huge high platform, like a Mayan flat-topped pyramid, with steps on all sides.
Countless poisonous insects were entrenched on the high platform, baring their teeth and claws, hissing and threatening, not allowing Jiang Zhonglou and the others to approach!
Some poisonous insects that can spray venom sprayed venom towards Jiang Zhonglou and the others from the high platform, like rain.
Everyone stood at the foot of the steps, waiting for the poisonous insects to spray out their venom before going up.
The three strong men breathed fire in three directions: forward, left, and right, burning the huge poisonous insects into piles of coke!
Sanya and Yajima followed the three warriors, and Jiang Zhonglou was at the very back...
Everyone slowly stepped onto the steps, and found that the steps had become dilapidated after two thousand years, and were covered with sticky poisonous insect venom...
The green-lit high platform was dozens of meters high, and everyone walked for a while before reaching the top of the high platform.
I saw that there was not a single poisonous insect on the high platform.
In the middle of the high platform is a pool of green light.
The pool is made of huge fluorescent stones, which not only glows with green light, but is also almost transparent, crystal clear and beautiful!
In the center of the pool, there is another exquisite stone platform carved from fluorescent stone. It is carved with eight entwined dragons, surrounded by a lotus sculpture at the top...
Eight jets of water spurted out from the dragon's mouth, tilting into the pool below...
The water column is steaming with white mist, and the temperature seems to be very high...
The water in the pool emits a green light under the reflection of fluorescent stones, and there is a white mist floating on it, like a dream...
"Wow! How come these eight dragons spurt hot water from their mouths? Is there a stove below?"
Sanya lay down in the pond in surprise and drank a handful of water.
"Of course there is no stove. This should be a hot spring."
Jiang Zhonglou sniffed.
He discovered that there was a pungent realgar smell beside the fluorescent stone pool.
This should be why the poisonous insects don't crawl up.
Almost all poisonous insects are afraid of the smell of realgar...
Most of the hot springs have realgar and orpiment...
"Yes, this is indeed a hot spring. Mo Sheng and the ancestors of the Danba tribe built this high platform on this hot spring according to local conditions..."
Yajma also said: "Moreover, there must be a large number of realgar and orpiment stones underneath this hot spring. The hot spring has the smell of realgar, so poisonous insects dare not come up."
"Wow, there is a hot spring underneath this snowy mountain! Let's go down and take a bath together! The water temperature in this pool is just right!"
Sanya fiddled with the hot pool water.
"Um...we are here to read the Gong Jing, not to take a shower..."
As Jiang Zhonglou spoke, he flew up and landed lightly on the top of the eight-dragon lotus stone platform in the center of the pool.
Sanya and Yajima's attention was focused on the hot spring pool water, but Jiang Zhonglou had already noticed the top of the Eight Dragon Lotus Stone Platform...
I saw, in the center of the stone lotus, an octagonal box carved from yellow jade.
Jiang Zhonglou stepped on a petal carved from the lotus and gently took off the yellow eight-sided jade box...
Whoa...
A red light suddenly shot out from the lotus petals under the eight-sided jade box!
Jiang Zhonglou quickly flew back to the outside of the pool with the jade box in his arms.
"Wow..."
Sanya and Yajima were startled and looked up at the sudden red light.
I saw that the red light shot straight to the high cave ceiling, forming a huge octagonal red light and shadow.
Obviously, the place where light and shadow shine through in the center of the lotus is also an octagon.
However, no one knows what this red light is for...
"Brother Jiang, this box should contain "Gong Jing", please open it quickly and take a look!" Sanya shouted excitedly.
Jiang Zhonglou placed the eight-sided jade box on the fluorescent stone stand by the pool, and gently opened the lid...
I saw that inside the jade box was another brown eight-sided jade box...
Jiang Zhonglou poured the brown jade box out of the big yellow jade box and opened the lid of the brown jade box. Inside was another small purple eight-sided jade box...
Jiang Zhonglou opened the small purple jade box and poured it out. When he opened the lid, he saw a pile of octagonal and gold flake-like things inside.
Jiang Zhonglou gently poured out the pile of gold flakes, and saw that they were made of neither gold nor jade, and were golden in color and crystal clear...
There are eight of these octagonal sheets in total, neatly stacked together, about the size of a palm, a few millimeters thick...
"Wow...is this a kind of sugar or donkey-hide gelatin? Can it be eaten?"
Sanya shouted in surprise.
Those eight octagonal pieces do look a bit like donkey hide gelatin or a kind of flaky candy...
"This should be the Gong Jing, but I can't eat it!" Yajma sighed.
"What? This...is the Gong Jing?" Sanya was surprised, "Shouldn't the Gong Jing be a scripture? How could it be eight pieces of donkey-hide gelatin?"
Jiang Zhonglou also frowned.
He originally thought that since the "Gong Jing" was a classic book, even if it was not written on paper, it was written on bamboo slips or silk, just like the silk book obtained in the underground ink city...
Even if it's magical, it's just engraved on a piece of gold...
Jiang Chonglou remembered that Yajima once said that the "style ink" of their ink workers was the gold ink carved on some gold tablets...
But I never expected that the profound and profound "Gong Jing" would be just eight pieces of gelatin-like stuff!
Jiang Zhonglou picked up an octagonal piece of "Gong Jing" and looked at it carefully, only to find that there was not a word on it, not even a symbol...
"Why are there no words on it?" Jiang Zhonglou was stunned.
"Even if there are words, these eight palm-sized pieces of "Gong Jing" can't contain many words?" Sanya also looked puzzled.
