This is the most realistic portrayal of outside Kuteng Cave.
Above the Dry Teng Cave is a towering ancient tree, a big banyan tree, but the word "towering" is only a big tree within the scope of common sense, and it is not like the one in Jiangning County that stands between heaven and earth with lush flowers and leaves, covering the sky.
The sun-blocking peach fairy tree.
The reason why it is called an ancient tree is because its appearance shows that it has been baptized by wind and rain and has been passed down by the years. It is probably thousands of years old.
This tree is not lush with branches and leaves. On the contrary, it is gloomy and withered branches and leaves.
As the saying goes, if the east is not bright, the west is bright. The ancient trees are slumped above the ground, but below the ground they are intricately intertwined and have a prosperous root system.
The Kuteng Cave is an underground cave formed over thousands of years by various creatures or humans digging deep around the underground roots of ancient trees. The caves are of different sizes, the passages are intricate, and the scenes inside are endless.
same.
People have seen bears, wolves, tigers and leopards, snakes, rats, insects, ants, agastache and calamus, oleander and poinsettia, etc. in the dead vine cave or near the old trees. Therefore, the dead vine cave is in the ordinary people's eyes.
In the eyes, it is just a strange cave that contains all kinds of creatures. Except for the bold hunters and medicine farmers, few people care about it.
Although most of the people on Buji Island have been living in the interior of Zhongzhou for many years, it would be too difficult to say that they are fully aware of all the details. If this is the case, Lan Sheng and others will not be able to find people outside Zhongzhou until now.
The source of Yi Cholera is here, but the people of Buji Island are not stupid, and they quickly figured out the way to inquire about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. There are not many people in the rivers and lakes who know that there is a special cave in the withered vine cave, and Bao inquires must be one of them.
One, as long as you want to know, pay the corresponding reward, there is no information you can't get from him.
Naturally, everyone in Buji Island also asked Bao Wenqing about the source of the cholera in Zhongzhou. However, they were obviously unable to pay the price offered by Bao Wenqing, so they could only settle for the next best thing and ask Bao Wenqing where to start and explore.
The truth, and the answer Bao asked them was a painting, which showed a crow and an old tree. However, the scene in the painting was not uncommon in Zhongzhou, and there were no more details in the painting to identify, and
Of course you won't tell them more if you ask around.
Full of questions and a few guesses, everyone on Buji Island set their detection targets on areas where large-scale deadly battles had occurred in recent years and on famous ancient sects that had gradually retreated into the mountains and forests.
Due to his daily activities in Xijiang County, Buji Island used twenty red wolf skins to get a lot of key information about the Tushita Gang and the Nether Cult from the bag. The Tushita Gang's home base is also in Ziye.
among these information.
Most people would think that the Tushita Gang's home base is the Whispering Hall on Purple Bodhi Mountain in Xijiang County. Little do they know that there is something else going on in the Withered Vine Cave in the Hejia Valley behind Purple Bodhi Mountain, which is well-known to everyone in Xijiang County.
Further down and deeper into the Withered Vine Cave is where the real heart of the Tushita Gang lies.
Most of the core characters in the Tushita Gang come from the dense forests of Yunze Realm, and the humid and hot climate environment deep in the Withered Teng Cave is also close to it. The purpose of establishing the Whispering Hall on Purple Bodhi Mountain is to give the entire gang a big appearance.
, and setting up another world in the Dry Vine Cave is to continue the living habits and ensure the environment required for practicing the exercises. At the same time, it is also conducive to raising insects, snakes, spiders, scorpions, etc. brought from the Yunze Realm.
…………
In the darkness of the night, three figures appeared in the already sparsely populated Whispering Hall.
The three of them were all wearing masked night clothes. From their body shapes, it was vaguely visible that they were two men and one woman. Taking a closer look at the weapons used by each of them, it turned out to be two swords and a dagger.
The identities of these three people are Jiang Yichen, Hongye and Egg.
Hongye and Jiang Yichen came here to save people, while Buji Island wanted to use the Tushita Gang as a breakthrough point to find out more information about the general situation in Zhongzhou. In terms of purpose, the two did not conflict. Therefore, Egg
It's not surprising that they would appear here, not to mention that it was the Piji Island side who took the lead in finding Hong Ye, Jiang Yichen, Lan Sheng, Shu Tong, and Mei Huaijin. The three of them were not strong in martial arts and could only strategize. Egg alone went deep behind enemy lines.
Too dangerous, information sharing, and risk sharing are the basis of this cooperation between the two parties.
Not long after Smiling Maitreya came back, he hurriedly left, taking with him the most powerful member of the Tushita Gang, the Great Protector Chang Kun.
While Xie Fei followed the two men away, he also passed the signal to his brothers, asking them to act accordingly.
In this way, the leader of the Tushita Gang, the Great Protector and many other main forces all went to Pinghai County. The guards in the Posuo Hall were weak for a while, but Jiang Yichen and the other two people drove straight in. Without disturbing even half of them, they arrived at the fourth room of the Posuo Hall.
layer.
Purple Bodhi Mountain is a thousand-meter-high mountain, and this Whispering Hall is located on the mountainside in an excellent position, built against the mountain. It can be said that the entire building is completely integrated into the mountain and rock cliffs, like a tower that gradually shrinks from bottom to top.
The bottom hall is about a hundred feet square, with ten floors in total. Apart from the fact that this is the area of the evil demon sect and is not popular among people, just talking about the magnificence of this building, it can be said that it turns decay into magic, which is better than the creation of heaven and earth.
Not an exaggeration.
"This Whirlpool Palace is no worse than the inner courtyard of the palace. If it were in broad daylight, you would be blinded by the dazzling golden light and the magnificent decoration." This was the first time Dan Dan had seen this grand scene, in the dark night.
His eyes looked particularly bright.
"Have you ever been to the inner courtyard of the palace?" Hongye asked coldly.
"Well, imagine, imagine, I think the style of the Zixuan Palace in Gusu should be similar to the inner courtyard of the palace. They are all official affairs." Dandan was embarrassed for a while, and then found his excuse.
"It is reasonable to say that the current imperial court has the ability to build a palace in this majestic mountain, but it is the Tushita Gang who is the one who is doing this, and everyone in the world is shouting about it. It is unbelievable. The Tushita Gang
I'm becoming more and more curious about where it comes from." Jiang Yichen was also amazed at the scene he saw.
"Perhaps the answer lies in the withered vine cave. Alas, after I came to the southwest region, I burrowed into the ground all day long. If I couldn't reach out and see my fingers, I almost thought I had turned into a gopher." Egg complained.
Hongye chuckled, amused by the eggs. Fortunately, the fourth floor was empty, and the three people's words and laughter were kept low, so they would not alert the enemy.
"The Hall of Whispers refers to the hall of the ten evils, which are divided into ten levels: killing, stealing, sexual immorality, lying, idle talk, harsh words, double-tonguing, greed, anger, and ignorance. The sleeping room of the smiling Maitreya is on the ninth floor.
The Hall of Anger and Hate on the first floor, and the reminder that Bao Wenwen drew about the entrance to the Dry Teng Cave is a tiger. The tiger should mean bluffing, and it refers to the fourth floor where we are, the Hall of Lies, and look around here.
Let's find out where the entrance is." Egg took out the portrait in his arms and recalled Lan Sheng's show off talent and arrogant smile when he handed it to him. He couldn't help but hate it.
In the portrait, Bao Datan's painting style was still rough and unimpressive, but Jiang Yichen and Hongye could clearly tell that the animal in the painting was indeed the King of the Mountain.
In addition to being empty, the Hall of Lies was almost empty. The only things in the hall were floor tiles, columns, beams, vaults, windows, doors and murals on the walls.
Although the floor tiles in the hall are each three feet square, the number of bricks on the entire floor is quite large. Therefore, Egg gave up this tiring hard work after thinking about it for a moment, walked directly to the wall, and took care of the bricks in his hands.
The tiger portraits can identify the content on the mural one by one.
"Lies are false and false. On the surface, the Dry Vine Cave is an inconspicuous cave, but in fact it hides another cave. This kind of deception is a lie. Therefore, it is reasonable for this entrance to be in the Hall of Lies.
So what is there in this temple that seems to be in line with common sense, but is hidden strangely?" Hong Ye did not take direct action like an egg, searching from the floor tiles or murals, but paced and murmured to himself, thinking about the next step.
The puzzle of the four-story palace.
"If the Kuteng Cave is a place where people from the Tusita Gang often come in and out, then the entrance should not be out of reach, and the entrance mechanism should be within easy reach. As far as the Hall of Lies is concerned, the Kuteng Cave
The entrance can only be there." Jiang Yichen followed Hong Ye's words, looked around, and fixed his gaze on the thickest column in the whole floor of the Hall of Lies, which happened to be in the center of the hall.
"Pillar?" Hongye asked puzzledly, following Jiang Yichen's gaze.
