Play treasure master

Chapter 746 In the cave, only cinnabar is taken

Yu Yao looked at the bronze mirror in Xiao Ying's hand, "What are you talking about knowing from it?"

"Yes!" Xiao Ying raised her hand, "Did you recognize the word? Tell me first."

Yu Yao nodded, "Danxiazi!"

"Danxiazi?"

Xiao Ying nodded slowly, "Presumably, this should be her dao name. It seems that the ancestors did come to look for her cave! Yunling Danxia Mountain—it turns out that it is not Danxia landform, but Danxia Xianding Mountain where Zidong Mansion is located!"

"Could it be that Duke Xiao originally wanted to use her cave as a secret hiding place, but after finding it and breaking through the formation, he realized it was not suitable?"

Xiao Ying pondered for a moment, "It doesn't look like it. The ancestor's Fengshui geomantic skill is much better than mine. It should be possible to predict that this cave is full of water, and it is not suitable as a secret place."

"Then why did he search for Danxiazi's cave during the critical period? Could it be that it was after properly disposing of the secret treasure?"

"This is possible. But the question is, what is he going to do here? He is looking for the cave with a purpose, and he seems to have guessed a lot of situations in advance, but he seems to have done nothing between entering and leaving!"

Yu Yao didn't have a clue, and looked at the bronze mirror in Xiao Ying's hand, "Tell me first, what do you understand from the bronze mirror?"

Xiao Ying nodded, "It turns out that the formation technique created by our ancestors to move the magic mirror sky was researched from the bronze mirror! The pattern on the back of this bronze mirror itself contains the principle of the formation technique! Come to think of it, the cave was originally closed. The formation is similar to Yihuan Jingtian, the ancestors benefited from Danxiazi and modified it."

Yu Yao also nodded, but did not respond immediately.These two discoveries of theirs do not seem to have any new clues about the secrets of the Ghost Eye Gate.

"Keep watching!"

In addition to the two "eyes" of the Taiji fish, there are two more conspicuous settings on the island in the middle of the lake.

One is a chessboard carved on the ground, with clear and regular vertical and horizontal lines; beside the chessboard, there are two piles of black and white stone chess pieces.Go, at least in the Yao and Shun period, it is not surprising that it appeared in the late Shang Dynasty.

Although there are two piles of black and white chess pieces, they are piled on the same side, which shows that this Danxia chess piece was playing chess with himself back then, and he was a bit lonely.

Another conspicuous feature is the central stone pillar. On the east-facing side, a niche is hollowed out about two meters above the ground. It is about four feet high, two feet wide, and one foot deep.

Inside is not a statue of a god, but a spiritual tablet, with five characters engraved on it. The engraved characters are the same as those on the jade comb, which is between oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions.

Of these five characters, Yu Yao easily recognized the first three: "Tai Shang Da..."

Xiao Ying immediately interfaced: "Taishang Daojun!"

Because, this is a kind of appellation for the Patriarch of Jiejiao.Taishang Daojun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Tongtian Sect Master are all talking about one person.

This was originally impossible to find in formal historical records, and it was mostly found in unofficial history and ancient legends.

However, here, they really saw it.At the same time, this niche faces east, and it is also the seat of the fairy spirit of the founder of Jiejiao.

These are the things that are easier to find on the island in the middle of the lake.However, since the god of the founder of Jiejiao was found on the stone pillar, Yu Yao and Xiao Ying circled around the stone pillar to inspect it carefully.

Finally, at the direction where the stone pillars were facing west, that is, where the shrine's back was facing, they found a secret door!
The secret door is at the bottom of the stone pillar, about two feet square, with a stone button on the left and right. The stone button is very hidden, like a natural stone protrusion.Press the stone button at the same time, and a stone slab will fall outward, revealing a square stone cave.

The depth of the cave is only about two feet.

Yu Yao and Xiao Ying took out a tripod from inside!

This tripod is a bit peculiar, and it can't even be regarded as a tripod strictly speaking.The tripod body looks like copper, but there is no rust, and the color is brownish yellow.

At the same time, the main body is round and has a lid, which is more like a cauldron, that is, a pot.However, there are seven holes of different sizes distributed on the cover.

The tripod has four legs, thin and tall.

Yu Yao was about to take off the lid of the cauldron, Xiao Ying waved his hand, "Wait a minute!" Then carefully and slowly approached the opening on the lid, and sniffed it tentatively.

"This is a Danding tripod, but it has no bad smell, and I think there is no poisonous gas residue." Xiao Ying introduced that the Danding tripod is different from ordinary ritual and practical tripods, and can be divided into male and female; the male tripod has three legs and is used by men. ; The female tripod is four-legged and used by women.This Dan Ding must have been used by Dan Xiazi.

Open the alchemy cauldron, there is no elixir inside.At the same time, there are still many traces of cinnabar; to be precise, it is cinnabar, that is, refined cinnabar.

Xiao Ying picked up the flashlight, looked closely at the inside of the alchemy, and revealed a look of sudden realization, "I know why the ancestors came!"

Yu Yao followed the strong light of the flashlight to observe, "There are remnants of cinnabar in this cauldron, and there are also traces of scraping, and these traces don't seem to be very old. Could it be that Duke Xiao took away the original cinnabar inside?"

"Exactly. This cinnabar is different from ordinary cinnabar. It is very fire-resistant and has spiritual power. And to protect the secret treasure, we use the combination of the formation within the formation, the combination of the outer formation and the inner formation, relying on this cinnabar!"

"You speculated earlier that it was cinnabar. It seems that the direction is indeed correct!" Yu Yao continued, "No wonder the temperature on this island in the middle of the lake is higher than other places. It turned out to be caused by the influence of cinnabar!"

"If ordinary cinnabar is used, it will consume a lot of vitality." Xiao Ying frowned slightly, "We met that living Buddha in Yinga Temple, who said that the ancestors had already lost their vitality in order to save him who was a reincarnated soul boy. Now It seems that thanks to the ancestors who have already surveyed this cave at that time, and using this cinnabar to form the formation will greatly reduce the loss of vitality; otherwise, even if it is possible to form the formation, it may be a disaster..."

Yu Yao took a deep breath, "Also, this cinnabar can keep the bones of flying bears intact for 3000 years, so it must have the miraculous effect of keeping dry and even protecting items; Duke Xiao used this formation to protect the secret treasures, and his consideration is extremely thoughtful!"

Xiao Ying nodded, "From this point of view, the secret cache should not be far from Xianding Mountain. Moreover, although the secret cache is close to the water, this cinnabar can also play a waterproof role!"

Yu Yao thought for a while, "Except for the cinnabar, Xiao Gong didn't take away any of the things here, and the formation was broken and closed at the same time, in order to thank the cinnabar for its benefits. Since this is the case, we can't move around, let's go back empty-handed. "

"I think so too."

After the two put away their things, they returned the same way.When I got out of the cave, the sky was full of stars.

Xiao Ying cast the spell again, sealing the entrance of the cave.Yu Yao then called Lin Fengcao.

"It's a phone call!" Lin Fengcao heaved a sigh of relief, "Are you on Jiangtan now?"

"Yes, let's talk about it later. How did you deal with Liu Dali?"
