The divine consciousness was suddenly a little scattered, Liu Han was shocked, and hurriedly withdrew his divine sense, what kind of strange thing is this? Liu Han pondered for a moment, and released his divine consciousness again, this time he felt it, there was an upward attraction, and he suddenly felt that this cave was probably only a corner at the bottom, and his shape should be like a well, just connected to the river outside at the bottom.

In order to confirm this conjecture, he slowly released his divine consciousness again, let his divine consciousness enter along the mountain wall, and then walked against the mountain wall, and sure enough, this cave was like a well, the cave was not big, it felt like two or three people were big at most, and there was nothing else in it except for the spiritual spring.

The attraction coming from the cave was still very strong, and the light was getting stronger and stronger, and the Five Elements True Yuan in Liu Han's body was eager to try, and suddenly there was a warning in his heart, he hurriedly withdrew his divine sense, suppressed the Five Elements True Yuan, and quickly turned into a state of turtle breath, retaining only a trace of clarity.

The powerful divine consciousness quickly spread out of the cave, and Liu Han felt a cold ice quickly sweeping over him, this divine consciousness was so powerful, much stronger than himself, he was more tightly restrained, and after scanning the divine consciousness, he quickly withdrew it.

After a while, the light at the entrance of the cave gradually went out, and finally it was completely extinguished, and the bottom of the water fell into darkness again, Liu Han slowly opened his eyes, looked around, sighed softly in his heart, bent down and dug two stick grasses from the roots, and took these two stick grasses against the wall to swim forward, and when he came out of the water, he found that the sky was already bright, and there was a light mist floating on the water surface.

Unwilling to appreciate this beautiful scenery, he climbed the mountain wall extremely carefully, lest he alarm the powerful divine consciousness in the cave, he felt that the divine consciousness was no worse than the head of the sect, and it was not his current ability.

It took a pillar of incense time, he finally went to the top of the mountain, stood on the top of the mountain, looked around, the river was foggy, the east was the emerald green peak, the green shadow was in the light mist, the faint eaves of the temple, the west was also foggy, there were cyan bricks and tiles floating dust in the fog.

The way down the mountain was blocked by weeds and bamboo forests, he sighed softly, did not go down the mountain immediately, but sat cross-legged behind the rocks, the five elements of the true yuan ran slowly, a few weeks later, he was disappointed to retract the true yuan, looking at the white mist on the river, there was actually no sense of the existence of a little aura here.

But there is obviously a strong aura down here, why can't you feel a little aura on this mountain?

Get up and stand on the edge of the cliff, look around, the mountains are silent, occasionally there are birdsong from the fog, staring at the river, a cloud of white mist drifting on the river, slowly he figured out that this spiritual spring has not been found so far, I am afraid it is related to its special geographical location.

This spiritual spring is at the bottom of the water, covered by the water surface, when the spiritual energy rises, it is melted by the river, and it is partially absorbed by the divine consciousness in the cave, and then absorbed by the bamboo grass, and the cave, it should not be the divine consciousness, how can such a precious spiritual energy be allowed to be lost into the water, in other words, Liu Han himself will definitely do everything possible to block the entrance of the cave.

Staring at the surface of the water in silence, he sighed softly for a long time, sat down again, and began to breathe, circulating in the body to repair the damaged meridians.

I don't know how long it took, but when he opened his eyes, the injuries in his body had healed, the sky was already bright, the fog had dissipated, and he could see the faint boats on the river, and the nearby river, overgrown with reeds, stretching for miles, and there was a waterway between the water and grass.

From above, this waterway crisscrosses and shapes like a labyrinth, and the big boat can't get in at all, and the small boat can easily get lost.

He wondered, such a waterway is a natural cover, but he doesn't know if it is deliberately arranged or naturally formed, if it is intentionally arranged, the person who designed this must be a guy who is proficient in formations.

But this person must have turned even his bones to ashes, such a reed path has been around for thousands of years, or even longer, otherwise, the secret of the spiritual spring below would have been impossible to hide for a long time.

Turning around and preparing to go down the mountain, there was a melodious bell at this time, he turned his head to look, the bell came from the mountain in the east, now the fog has dispersed, you can clearly see the situation on the opposite mountain, the opposite mountain is beautiful, there are many temples between the mountains and forests, the eaves are warped, the red bricks and green walls are faintly visible, and the river breeze brings a strong smell of incense and candles.

What kind of place is this? Liu Han wondered in his heart.

The mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are not high, more than soft, not majestic, there are many rivers and few mountains near Yangzhou, in Liu Han's eyes, it is not a mountain at all, it can only be a small hill.

At this time, he made another discovery, the hill under his feet, from the shore, is not high, but the river is very high, he should have climbed more than 30 zhang from below.

Thinking of this, he turned around to the edge of the cliff again, looked down, and made sure that his judgment was not wrong, it was more than thirty zhang, but there were only more than ten zhang on the water.

This discovery made him wonder again, but he looked left and right, and found nothing strange, so he had to smile self-deprecatingly, this is really a natural protection given by God.

Turning around and preparing to go down the mountain, then he realized that the surrounding jungle was dense, and there was no path, he thought about it, jumped on the top of the tree, looked around, and after determining the direction, jumped directly from the treetops down the mountain.

When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I finally saw a small village, and met an old farmer at the edge of the village, and I inquired with him to find out that this mountain is called ghost and sorrow, and the mountain in the east is Zizhu Mountain.

"Childe is going to Zizhu Mountain to burn incense?" The old farmer looked at him with a smile, Liu Han's outfit was a scholar who came out to travel, and when he heard the old farmer ask, Liu Han smiled and acquiesced.

"There are quite a few people who have gone wrong," the old farmer understood, and pointed to the side of the road and said, "Childe can follow this road, and he will be there soon." ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Liu Han hugged his fists to thank him, and his uncle gave him another piece of bread, Liu Han was very grateful, it is very rare to be able to send you food in this era.

Turn around and walk towards Zizhu Mountain.

Bypassing a bamboo forest, it is the road leading to Zizhu Mountain, along the way there are many villagers who go to burn incense, but also meet a few scholars who travel to study, Liu Han easily talked to three scholars from Xuzhou, and was quickly accepted by them and walked together.

The four scholars are all students of Pengcheng Bailu Academy, which ranks second among the academies in Xuzhou, and the number one academy in Xuzhou is Pengcheng Academy.

Liu Han's self-reported identity is a native of Youzhou, studying in the imperial capital Shimen Academy, and this time he traveled to Jiangnan to increase his knowledge.

This reason is very reasonable, the three of them did not suspect it, and it was easy to accept Liu Han, even if he brought a knife, Liu Han explained that he was used to carrying a knife in Youzhou, and although the sword was good-looking, it was too easy to break and not practical.

"Besides, the sword is given to celebrities, and the pink is given to beauties, I am not a celebrity, and I don't hold a sword. Liu Han laughed self-deprecatingly.

The three of them laughed, and the scholar in the middle, who was wearing a soap-colored robe and named Zhou Wei, was obviously the center of the three, and he smiled: "Brother Guan, what you say, Brother Chang, Brother Min, we are not celebrities, should we take off this sword and throw it away." ”

Liu Han hurriedly made a gesture and said continuously: "Hehe, Brother Zhou is too worried, too worried, he just has a feeling below, and the same is true in the imperial capital, most of them are swords, and if they hold a knife below, they will become monsters." ”

The three of them laughed, and Liu Han smiled bitterly: "Youzhou is located on the border, there are many barbarians, most of the barbarians are holding knives, the knives are heavy, our sword is too slender, compared to them, if you fight with them, the sword is easy to break!"

"Brother Guan has killed barbarians in Youzhou?" Zhou Wei asked curiously, Liu Han shook his head and said, "I don't dare, but we people in Youzhou all wear knives, and most of them are wide-backed knives." ”

"Brother Guan's words are reasonable, last year, I met a scholar from Youzhou in Pengcheng, who was also a saber. That Chang Lan took over the topic and said, "He said the same thing, but he didn't say it in detail as Brother Guan." ”

Liu Han smiled secretly in his heart, the scholar of Youzhou is indeed equipped with a sword and not a sword, his identity is prepared by the palace, and the palace thinks that with his talent and learning, he can completely deal with it.

Liu Han easily became the center of the conversation, these three people had never been to Youzhou, they were very curious about Saiwai, and they asked about the situation outside Saiwai all the way.

"The desert is lonely, and the sun sets on the long river," Zhou Wei sighed and said, "I must go to the outside of the Saiwai to have a look, Brother Guan, have you seen this Liu family in the imperial capital?"

"Yes. Liu Han replied without hesitation, and Zhou Wei's eyes suddenly lit up: "What is he?" I heard that this person is suave and talented, and he has been a poet in the past ten years. ”

Liu Han snickered in his heart, that is nature, these poems are all written by everyone, and they have been passed down for hundreds of years, and this era can naturally be circulated.

However, he sighed: "I am qualified to talk to the Liu family, he is friendly with the second son of General Qiu, and the son of Lu Fan, but this Liu family is actually a businessman, and I heard that he has now entered the forbidden army." ”

"Merchant," Zhou Wei also sighed: "It's a pity, if it weren't for that, he would definitely be able to get a high tasting when he participated in the autumn tasting." ”

"That's not necessarily," Chang Lan said, his name is a bit feminine, but people look very tough, he said quite disapprovingly: "The current tasting, first of all, is the family background, since this Liu family is in business, the family background must not be good;

"He came back from the Western Regions, and he also studied in the Western Regions. Liu Han added that these situations have spread throughout the imperial capital, and most of the scholars know about them.

"That must be unknown," Chang Lan said, "With these two, Liu's tasting will not be high." ”

Zhou Wei and Min Ene sighed almost at the same time, Liu Han immediately noticed that the family backgrounds of these three people were probably not very good, and he also sighed: "Actually, what about business, those gate valve families, who are not in business." ”

"It's just that this tasting is getting more and more unfair. Zhou Wei sighed, and was about to speak, when he looked up and arrived in front of the gate of Zizhu Mountain.

The mountain gate of Zizhu Mountain is very simple, it is an ordinary archway, built of stone, there is no carving on it, but a few words are engraved on it: Zizhu Road Mountain.

There are a few villagers kneeling to kowtow under the archway, and there is a huge stone incense burner next to it, and the incense burner is full of cigarette smoke, and a few tourists are burning incense.

"Let's burn incense too. Chang Lan proposed, Zhou Wei nodded very casually, so the four of them bought incense on the side and lit it on the candle, Zhou Wei silently bowed three times to Zizhu Mountain, Chang Lan muttered to himself, Min Ene bowed twice casually, and then looked at the mountain.
