The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

Immediately, after talking to himself, he raised his legs and walked towards Beishan.

Not long after, Zhong Wen arrived at the foot of the mountain.

But at this time, at the foot of the mountain, Zhong Wen saw a lot of black bones, which made Zhong Wen feel more and more palpitations.

Zhong Wen has seen many bones.

But this black bone was the first time Zhong Wen saw it.

Zhong Wen untied the Meteorite Sword from his back, pulled the sword out of its sheath, and pulled it toward the black bone, only then did he realize that it was not a pure black bone.

It is because the bone has been accompanied by some black stones for a long time that it shows a black appearance.

These black stones are not stones, but a kind of hard coal.

Chapter 4 Sixty

Zhong Wen poked the hard coal on the ground with his sword, but he didn't feel anything unusual, but the black bones seemed a bit abrupt.

After all, this is only the foot of the mountain. Wouldn't it be more shocking if you go further in?

Thinking of this, Zhong Wen began to face up to it.

Helan Mountain, Zhong Wen has never been there, and he doesn't know what's in it.

Moreover, the bones are all there, and people have obviously died here.

As Tang Lin said, he had sent Baiqisi people over to investigate, and it belonged to a place where there was no return.

Therefore, at this time, Zhong Wen also knew that Beishan should be a dangerous place.

Following this, Zhong Wen put his sword back into its sheath, raised his legs and walked towards the mountain.

Step by step, stepping on some gravel and some dead branches, slowly walked forward.

Quiet.

There was not even a sound of insect chirping.

Some of them were just the sound of Zhong Wen stepping on some dead branches.

If it weren't for Zhong Wenyi's boldness, maybe he would have stopped a long time ago.

The further you go in the mountains, the more black stones there will be.

If Zhong Wen just came here to visit Helan Mountain at this time, he might regard this black stone as a treasure, after all, it is coal.

At this moment, Zhong Wen didn't care about the hard coal at all, but looked around vigilantly.

After walking for half an hour, Zhong Wen already felt a heavier palpitation.

People haven't seen it yet, but the bones on the ground are starting to grow more and more.

From the beginning, there were a few roots at the foot of the mountain, and in the past half an hour, there have been more and more.

At this time, before Zhong Wen's eyes, there was already a pile.

When Zhong Wen saw this pile of bones, his first reaction was that someone placed them on purpose.

Because these bones are piled up in the shape of a tower, and the bones are black, white, red, purple and other colors. At first glance, I thought it was a colorful tower.

Zhong Wen circled around the bone tower.

It was found that the bones of the bone piercing tower were piled up, and there were many patterns painted on them.

The pattern is quite mixed.

There are animals and birds, there are people and things, there are words and pictures.

Corresponding to the various colors, this made Zhong Wen even more curious.

In fact, in the Central Plains, this kind of bone pagoda is very rare, and only the foreign people can use bones to make some kind of pagoda.

Some tribes even use bones to make some kind of ornaments to hang on their bodies.

"Seven-color bone pagoda? Or seven-color relic pagoda?" Zhong Wen was puzzled, frowning and looking at the bone pagoda, thinking about what this bone pagoda is, who made it, and what is its significance?

In short, too many questions flashed in Zhong Wen's mind.

If the northern mountain of Helan Mountain is the land of Buddhism, then it is reasonable to build a colorful stupa here.

But reasonable can only mean that the tower is reasonable, but a tower built with bones seems unreasonable.

But if it is said that this place belongs to a certain Shumen, or Yinyangmen, then it is reasonable to build a bone tower here.

However, Zhong Wen has never heard of Shumen until now.

I have heard of the Yin Yang Gate, but most of them are not in the north, but live in the south.

Zhong Wen knew that even though both the Shushu School and the Yin-Yang School belonged to Taoism.

But up to now, they have already broken away from Taoism and formed a school of their own.

According to what Li Daoling once told him, most of the members of the Yin Yang sect live in the south, or in the southerly area, and there are some in the Linhai area.

As for this technique, Li Daoling just mentioned it casually, but never elaborated on it.

The main reason is not to go into details, but Li Daoling doesn't know if Shumen still exists.

As for the understanding of Shumen, Zhong Wen only knows some from ancient books, but he has never seen it before.

Shumen, that is, people from the so-called alchemy department.

Alchemy, also known as alchemist, or alchemist.

Its art is divided into many departments.

For example, some specialize in learning, and some run the rivers and lakes and so on.

Their studies are also different, some study medicine, divination, fortune-telling, and similarly, some do research.

After Zhong Wen looked at the colorful bone pagoda for a long time, he withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward.

Along the way, a lot of bone towers gradually appeared.

But most of them are still dominated by small towers, and there are fewer big towers.

Two hours later, Zhong Wen was about to enter the middle of Beishan.

Suddenly, before Zhong Wen's eyes, there was a step coming out.

This step is obviously artificially built, but it looks like it has been around for some years.

There are steps, which proves that there should have been people living here, but it is hard to say whether there are people living here now.

Zhong Wen went up the stairs, and when he reached the highest point, a mountain depression appeared in front of Zhong Wen's eyes.

In the valley, there are dozens of stone houses, which look like stone tombs, and there is a tombstone-like thing standing in front of it, which looks particularly intrusive.

Fortunately, Zhong Wen's eyesight is better, otherwise someone with not particularly good eyesight will appear in the northern mountain of Helan Mountain in the middle of the night, and suddenly there are some things that look like graveyards in front of him. A long time.

Standing on a high place, Zhong Wen looked at the stone houses in the valley, and without fear, he jumped straight into the valley.

But as soon as Zhong Wen fell into the valley, he found that all the stone doors of the stone houses were open.

There was not a single item in it, it was empty.

curious.

Really curious.

Zhong Wen checked all the stone houses, and they were basically the same.

Even the shape and size are almost the same.

It's so empty that it's okay to say, maybe the people who used to live here suddenly left and moved everything away, which can be explained.

But the stone houses are built to be exactly the same size, which seems a little strange.

This place is not as convenient as the city. This is the northern mountain of Helan Mountain, not a city.

If there are no good craftsmen and good workers to make stones, it is absolutely impossible to build such a stone house in this vast mountain.

But such an absolute, actually happened.

Moreover, it was right in front of Zhong Wen's eyes.

In the empty valley, Zhong Wen felt a terrible heart palpitation.

Start at the bottom of the mountain.

All the way to this valley.

Along the way, the palpitations became stronger and stronger.

After arriving at the valley, the palpitations directly reached the top of the mountain, which made Zhong Wen have to be on guard, holding the Meteorite sword tightly in his hand.

His ears were flickering, and he had been carefully listening to the movement around him, and his eyes were also aiming everywhere.

However, I searched for it all at once.

Not to mention the figure, even a mouse is not seen.

This makes Zhong Wen feel that this valley is more and more a mysterious place.

Half an hour later, Zhong Wen really didn't find any clues, and this feeling of palpitation made him very uncomfortable. He thought that it would be better to leave as soon as possible, at worst, he would come back to check tomorrow during the day.

But at this moment, Zhong Wen, who was about to leave, heard a slight sound in his ears.

Immediately, Zhong Wen jumped up and walked towards where the sound came from.

Outside a stone house, Zhong Wen stood at the door of the stone house, calmly listening.

Yes, the voice came from the stone house in front of Zhongwen.

This slight sound is completely different from the cry of animals and insects, and more like the sound of people snoring.

If it weren't for Zhong Wen's good ears, he might not be able to hear this sound.

After Zhong Wen listened intently, a clearer snoring sound came from his ears.

"Huh? There is nothing in this stone house. Where did the snoring sound come from? Could it be that there are caves under this stone house?" Zhong Wen thought in his heart after hearing the sound.

After a long time, the snoring gradually subsided and then disappeared.

Zhong Wen didn't wait any longer, and walked directly into the stone house, and checked again.

The stone house was too dark, no matter how good Zhong Wen's eyes were, he couldn't see the situation in the stone house clearly, so he got out of the stone house, found some hay nearby, and lit it with the flint he carried with him.

Once again, he stepped into the stone house and began to search carefully.

"So that's it!" After Zhong Wen checked carefully, he found that there were several large stone slabs on the floor of the stone house.

The gap between the stone slabs looks like there are signs of frequent activities, which is obviously a mechanism.

Moreover, there are many small holes on the stone wall of this stone house, and Zhong Wen doesn't know if it is a hidden arrow hole or what.

Zhong Wen tried to pry it up with a meteoric iron sword, but found that the stone slab on the ground was not easy to pry.

Zhong Wen reckoned in his heart that this mechanism was supposed to be opened from the inside.

Even if there is an opening mechanism outside, it must be in the hole in the stone wall, otherwise it cannot be opened under normal conditions.

"Go or continue?" At this moment, Zhong Wen didn't know how to continue.

In fact, there are many weirdnesses displayed here.

Moreover, the feeling of palpitations has been lingering, making him have to pay more attention to guard.

Even the hole in the stone house, Zhong Wen didn't know what was inside.

If it was all arrows, Zhong Wen would have a hard time running, and would definitely be shot like a hedgehog.

Thinking of this, Zhong Wen hurried out of the stone house, but the torch was left inside the stone house.

But just after Zhong Wen stepped out of the stone house, a shout came from under the stone slabs of the stone house.

"Brother, do you smell an unpleasant smell?" The voice of one person reached Zhong Wen's ears.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night, there is still work to do tomorrow." The senior brother didn't care much about the smell, turned over, and continued to sleep.

Seeing that the senior brother continued to sleep, the junior brother shook his head helplessly, got up, and walked towards a staircase.

After a while, there was a change in the stone slabs in the stone house, and all the sounds came to Zhong Wen's ears.

But after the stone slab moved, Zhong Wen stood quietly outside the stone house, watching the stone slab begin to move down slowly.
