Wen Renyuan didn't throw it out like using the fire scroll this time, but carefully flicked off the scroll. The moment the scroll was fully unfolded, Dongfang Mianyang felt a light blue circle around Wen Renyuan and himself. He reached out his hand curiously to poke the colored transparent bubble, and he poked a protrusion out of the bubble, but no matter how hard he tried, it couldn't be pierced.
He withdrew his fingers, "Then can we go down now?"
Wen Renyuan nodded, took back the scroll, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and led him like Moyang Lake.
Although Dongfang Mianyang felt that it was a bit strange to lean against his arms like this, maybe Wen Renyuan didn't say anything just for safety.When the two of them stepped in the water of Moyang Lake, it felt like they were on land, and there was no trace of moisture on their bodies.
Wen Renyuan said: "This scroll can isolate us from the lake water for ten hours, which is enough."
The lake water covered their legs, chests, and necks... Finally, the two of them completely disappeared on the water surface. During this period, Dongfang Mianyang didn't feel any discomfort. The air bubbles completely isolated them from the lake water. Can't feel it.The current depth still has the light refracted from above. Unlike the blue seen above, the lake water is a little green when viewed from the inside. In front of it is the underwater part of the Huxin Pavilion. The pavilion and the stone slabs that enter the pavilion in the middle of the lake are all floating on the water, and there is no fixed place in the water!
Dongfang Mianyang thought to himself, the world is really big, and there are so many wonders, the lake pavilion and stone slabs are things that sink like water, and they actually float directly on the water.After talking about this problem with Wen Renyuan, the other party said: "Actually, there is a legend here."
Dongfang Mianyang became curious and asked, "What legend?"
"It is said that the gods guarding the Tianhe River in the sky drank wine and forgot to close the Tianhe River. The water of the Tianhe River flowed down and fell into the world to form a lake, which became Moyang Lake. And this story was heard by the Emperor of Heaven who was eating. In a fit of rage, he dropped his own saucer, which happened to land in the center of the lake and became a lake pavilion. Later, in order to punish the god, the Emperor of Heaven asked him to meditate on the lake pavilion and was not allowed to leave. In [-], the gods couldn't bear the loneliness, so they planted lotus flowers in the lake, and let the lotus leaves pave the way for them to escape, which is the stone road you see now."
With Wen Renyuan's explanation, Dongfang Mianyang really felt that the bottom of the lake pavilion was like a saucer, and the stone slabs were shaped like lotus leaves.
After listening to this legend.Dongfang Mianyang finally concluded: "Fortunately, the river just formed a lake that day. If the whole world was flooded, the consequences would be unimaginable. Sure enough, being greedy for drinking is a waste of time. To be a god, one must abide by the rules."
Wen Renyuan shook his head and laughed, "It's just a story... But, for mortals to cultivate immortality, isn't it just a matter of being immortal and doing whatever they want?"
Dongfang Mianyang said: "It is possible to live forever, but it is wishful thinking to do whatever you want. Everything has karmic reincarnation, and who can escape?"
"If that's the case, then why do you want to forge the god's treasure mirror and forge the god's wood to become a fairy?" Wen Renyuan asked.
Dongfang Mianyang looked at the darker and darker lake water, his eyes contained no emotion. He asked himself what his Dao heart was at the beginning of his cultivation, and his answer has not changed since then. bitter."
Every reincarnation means that the past is like smoke, walking through the Yellow Spring Road, seeing the Sansheng Stone, and drinking Mengpo soup in front of the Naihe Bridge, one is saying goodbye to this life and starting a new journey.
But Dongfang Mianyang didn't want to do that. He didn't care who he was in the previous life, but all the memories in this life belong to him alone. Because of these memories, he is Dongfang Mianyang... Whether it's the scenery he has seen, or the best friend who cherishes each other , are all proofs that he is Dongfang Mianyang.
In the next life, although he got rid of all the past in the previous life, who was he then?
And no matter who he is, "Oriental Mianyang" has indeed disappeared completely and completely.Leaving no trace, maybe someone remembers him, but after a hundred years have passed, after everything returns to ashes and ashes to ashes, he may be just a tombstone on a barren grave, and then he is nothing, even in this world. It didn't exist at all.
Dongfang Mianyang thought it was an act of obliterating himself.
The reincarnation he mentioned when comforting Qing Hua was actually what he hated the most.
Wen Renyuan didn't ask any more questions, and Dongfang Mianyang didn't open his mouth to speak anymore. The two of them maintained a quiet atmosphere and focused their attention on the surroundings. Since there was a treasure of forging gods hidden at the bottom of Moyang Lake, they didn't know there were other things. Guard it and pose a threat to the two.
####
The two of them walked down like they were stepping on stairs, and occasionally they could see one or two big silvery white fish that Wen Renyuan roasted for Dongfang Mianyang. Winter came, and even the aquatic life couldn't be so active.The light was swallowed up bit by bit. Dongfang Mianyang did not expect that Moyang Lake was so deep. When they finally stood at the bottom of the lake, the surroundings were already completely dark. If it wasn't for the temperature from Wen Renyuan's body, he would have felt a kind A feeling of being exiled from the sky.
Darkness can often magnify the fear and anxiety in people's hearts. Dongfang Mianyang pulled Wen Renyuan's sleeve uncomfortably: "Have you arrived yet?"
Wen Renyuan took the opportunity to hold his hand, squeezed it lightly, "Follow me." He took off his belt, and buckled out the two white stones inlaid inside, the size of fingernails. Gives off some faint light that allows them to see their surroundings clearly.
"This is fluorite, a specialty of our country. I carry two with me just in case." Wen Renyuan gave one of them to Dongfang Mianyang and explained.
The space here is so still that Dongfang Mianyang, who is inside the protective film, can't imagine that the lake surrounding them is completely empty. The bottom of the lake is very empty, except for large and small stones. These stones are as small as human heads. It's as big as a hill!
Wen Renyuan led Dongfang Mianyang around these stones, and stopped from time to time to look around. The last time he came here was when he was eight years old. After more than ten years, his memory of this place has long been blurred. up.
In order to take care of Dongfang Mianyang, Wen Renyuan walked very slowly. The two turned around and turned around, and finally came to a big stone about two meters in size. The stone is split in two.Wen Renyuan frowned, groping around on the stone, and finally found the mark he had carved in the corner, and finally smiled with relief, "I found it."
Dongfang Mianyang didn't understand this place at all, so he could only follow Wen Renyuan's toss. Seeing that the other party finally found the right position, he let go of his hanging heart. He nodded to Wen Renyuan, expressing that he was ready. .The latter's eyes became serious, and he pressed both hands on the two sides of the engraving on the stone, and then pushed hard, and the stone was pushed open like a door.
Just as Wen Renyuan was about to go in, he was stopped by someone. He turned his head and looked at the person behind him suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Dongfang Mianyang said: "I don't have many talismans left. If there is any danger, I won't be able to protect you in time..." He used his nails to cut a hole between his index fingers, and then pulled Wen Renyuan's palm, I drew a palm symbol with my own blood on it, looked up and explained: "If an evil spirit harms you, you can print this on it."
Wen Renyuan nodded, thought for a while, and said: "I can protect you too."
Dongfang Mianyang smiled, but did not answer.
####
The stone gate was closed after they entered, and the inside seemed to be isolated except for a space, and no lake water seeped in.After entering, there was a staircase going down. As they walked forward, the oil lamps on the walls on both sides in front automatically lit up one by one, while the oil lamps in the back went out one by one.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a fork appeared in front of him, leading to three directions in total. Wen Renyuan chose the middle one without hesitation.
Except for a few forks in the road ahead, Wen Renyuan always chose the middle one.
Dongfang Mianyang felt very curious: "There are so many roads here, why do you keep choosing this one?"
Wen Renyuan smiled at him, and said: "At the beginning, I chose it randomly, but I didn't change it at all later. This can be regarded as a road to darkness."
Dongfang Mianyang: "..." Actually, you are just too lazy to use your brain.
It stands to reason that this place has not seen the sun for many years, and is so close to the nether world. It is the best greenhouse for evil things to breed. Although the air here is damp and cold, it does not have the yin energy that should exist underground. Dongfang Mianyang finds it very strange.
This road has finally come to an end.
"Boom boom boom——"
Suddenly there was a sound of knocking on the wall in the quiet atmosphere. Dongfang Mianyang was alert, looked to the side, and signaled Wen Renyuan with his eyes, Wen Renyuan nodded, indicating that he heard it too, and the sound came from the wall Yes, the two stared at the wall for a while, but the voice didn't appear again.
Wen Renyuan said: "Don't worry about this for now, there is a stone gate in front, and I was blocked here back then."
Dongfang Mianyang looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, he saw that the front was blocked by a round stone slab. When he walked in, he found that there was a circular groove in the middle of the stone slab. At first glance, the radiating straight lines look like a sun is drawn on it.
Besides, there was no such thing as a keyhole at all. The two searched carefully again, but found nothing else.
Dongfang Mianyang touched the groove with his hand, and said to Wen Renyuan, "This should be the keyhole."
Wen Renyuan: "I thought so too back then, but I didn't find any clues at all."
Dongfang Mianyang remained silent, and moved his hand to the notch next to the groove. There are six notches in total, "Perhaps...these marks are clues?"
Wen Renyuan's eyes lit up, waiting for Dongfang Mianyang to continue talking about his discovery.
Dongfang Mianyang didn't continue talking, but asked him instead: "Have you ever walked through other side roads back then?"
Wen Renyuan shook his head, "No, I was alone back then, so I didn't dare to stay for too long."
Dongfang Mianyang withdrew his finger and said: "We might as well go another way, maybe we will find something, and now we can't find a reason here."
Wen Renyuan thought about it, and it was the same reason, so the two went back along the road and entered the right side of the fork in front.
Not long after walking, there was another fork in the road. Dongfang Mianyang took Wen Renyuan and chose the right side directly. When he received the doubtful look from the latter, he jokingly explained: "I also went one by one. black people."
Without exception, after encountering the fork in the back, they all chose the right side.
When he saw the same stone gate again, Wen Renyuan couldn't help exclaiming: "Why are you here again?!" This is a dead end, and there are no other passages around, how did they get back to the original place? of?
Dongfang Mianyang didn't speak, pulled Wen Renyuan and ran back to the previous fork, this time they chose the left... Walking to the left one by one, they really came to the front of Shimen again!
……
Next, they chose other routes and walked a few times. No matter how they walked, the final destination was that stone gate, and the stone gate had exactly the same graphics!
The two stopped in place panting for breath, and did not go any further. Wen Renyuan raised eyebrows: "Every road is connected!" He turned his head and looked at Dongfang Mianyang uncertainly, hoping to get an answer.
Dongfang Mianyang continued: "These stone gates are all different..."
He squatted down and drew the same circle on the ground as the top of the stone gate with gravel. Around the circle, he drew many circles tangent to it, and the tangent points connected to the center of the circle, making a total of six equal divisions.
Wen Renyuan stared at the figure drawn by Dongfang Mianyang for a while, but couldn't see anything from the abstract lines, so he couldn't help asking Dongfang Mianyang directly: "What do you see?"
Dongfang Mianyang clicked where the circles meet, "Look here."
Although the style of the painting is abstract, Wen Renyuan can tell that there are six such intersections in six different directions. Wen Renyuan frowned and looked at it for a while, and finally realized, "This is the direction indicated on the graph. !"
"If I'm right, the center of this labyrinth at the bottom of the lake is a hexagon, and the Forging God's Treasure is in it. Every direction of the hexagon corresponds to this stone gate. There are six stone gates in total."
Wen Renyuan was so excited that his breathing became short of breath, "The keys to the six doors correspond to the six directions?"
Dongfang Mianyang nodded, "That's right!" He connected the intersection to the circle in the middle, and it was the same shape as on the stone gate! "The most dangerous place is the safest place... Who would have thought that the key is at the bottom of this lake?"
Wen Renyuan clapped his hands and laughed, he was so happy that he got carried away, he hugged Dongfang Mianyang and kissed him, with a resounding "baji".
The author has something to say: orz's great manuscript depositor...
Although Wo is a science student, he is not sensitive to mathematical graphics at all!Maze or something... Life is already so difficult, don't expose some things!
He withdrew his fingers, "Then can we go down now?"
Wen Renyuan nodded, took back the scroll, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and led him like Moyang Lake.
Although Dongfang Mianyang felt that it was a bit strange to lean against his arms like this, maybe Wen Renyuan didn't say anything just for safety.When the two of them stepped in the water of Moyang Lake, it felt like they were on land, and there was no trace of moisture on their bodies.
