Chapter 22 Teach you to become a master
The two of them had their own thoughts and stood still. Just as the boy was confused and the middle-aged man was silent, the oil lamp in a corner of the room suddenly went out, and the brightness in the room suddenly disappeared, and the two of them were standing in the sudden shadow. Huang Guiyun screamed in fear.
"Uncle Thirteen, help me, there is a ghost."
"You big head, you don't know how long it's been since you live in this place. If you can't stand the loneliness, you've left long ago."
Huang Guiyun groped in the dark and grabbed Thirteen's arm, pointed to the corner of the wall and said, "The chicken crowing light is out and you won't touch the gold. Uncle Thirteen, have you never heard this sentence?"
Thirteen casually threw Huang Guiyun away, walked to the corner and lit the oil lamp again: "Touch the gold, there is only soil here, where is gold."
When the lights started, Huang Guiyun breathed a little relieved: "Uncle Thirteen, have you never heard of the 'Golden Captain' when you walk in the world?"
Thirteen headed toward another exit in the house with a torch and said without looking back: "I have heard of the 'Dragon Grab', do you want to learn it?"
Huang Guiyun didn't care whether to touch the money or something else. Seeing that Thirteen was about to leave, it would be better to follow: "Wait for me, Uncle Thirteen."
I originally thought that the caves here would be like candied haws one by one, but when I entered the next space through the hole and lit the oil lamp, I found that there was a kitchen in front of me, with many pots, pans and utensils, and all kinds of knives were hung neatly on the wall, and there were even a few air-dried meat hanging on it. Apart from that, there was no hole to other places.
It seems that the original owner was a cooking enthusiast. He often studied various dishes on weekdays, but he just found fresh ingredients in this shabby cave. Perhaps he could only make some simple things, although the tools were indeed very complete.
If it weren't for the years when the meat was left there, Huang Guiyun would have wanted to take it down and eat it directly, or beg Thirteen to make a delicious meal in such a convenient kitchen. However, Huang Guiyun saw that Thirteen was indifferent and dared not ask randomly.
"Uncle Thirteen, there is no hole in the cave." Huang Guiyun asked tentatively when he saw Thirteen not talking.
"Lin Quilt is not blind."
After looking around for a week, Thirteen turned around and left and returned to the stone house where the long table was placed before, and walked towards the wall opposite the main seat of the stone table without any stop. He tried to pull a pair of beast rings on the wall with his hands. After confirming, he pulled hard, and suddenly a piece of the wall was missing silently.
When Huang Guiyun saw that the originally neat wall was rubbing, he suddenly turned into a hole and said in surprise: "Wow, Uncle Thirteen, you know so much that there is an agency over there!"
Thirteen pointed around and said, "The surrounding wall is bare, there are only two hanging rings here. Don't you think it's strange? You don't know the lieutenant of the gold-touching school, why don't you even know such common sense?"
Huang Guiyun suddenly realized: "I'm just reading a little bit in the book."
Since a new passage has appeared, it is now certain that the mechanisms here will definitely not be in danger, so we can naturally walk forward with confidence. However, the holes on the wall are no longer flat roads, but stairs that keep surrounding it, and there seems to be more places.
If you really want to live here, it is not something that can be solved by having water, a kitchen, or a restaurant. You need more rooms, or at least one bedroom.
Huang Guiyun and Shisan, who were circling up the stairs, did not see the bedroom, but saw more stone houses with other functions or natural caves converted. Along the way, you can see seven or eight different functions such as study, pharmacy, workshop, etc., and even one cell was prepared. Perhaps this place was not lived alone before?
Huang Guiyun, who likes to dig into the roots and asks the truth, was naturally extremely curious when he saw this scene, but the person asked was still the same person: "Uncle Thirteen, do you think there were only one person or many people living here."
Perhaps Thirteen was also curious about why Seclusion had to set up a prison and said his inference: "If there were bedrooms upwards, there might be many people. If there were only one bedroom, then there would be only one person."
Huang Guiyun continued to ask: "If only one person, then he will have too many things."
"You have lived alone in this broken cave for more than ten years, and you have not found something to do, how can you live without finding something to do."
Huang Guiyun showed a lot of books in the study just now. In addition to literary works, there are indeed books about medical skills, cooking, sewing and even architecture. However, it may be very troublesome for ordinary people to learn one or two of the skills. It seems that seclusion is really boring.
Just as the two continued to move forward on the stairs, they saw a different place. How was it different? The stone houses in the previous stone caves were all wide open and there was no concealment. However, they actually saw a wooden door here, and it was not just two wooden boards, but rather a very exquisite wooden door.
There is no doubt that the wooden door conveys an extremely important and simple message, which must be different from other places.
Thirteen checked the wooden door and confirmed that there was no problem, but still did not push it open directly. Instead, he signaled Huang Guiyun to push the door forward, the reason was that if there was any hidden weapon shot inside, he would have more time to react. Seeing Thirteen posing in a defensive posture, Huang Guiyun could only believe that Thirteen was not using himself as a shield. At the same time, in order to avoid accidents, he suddenly pushed open the wooden door and squatted down quickly.
"ah!"
Huang Guiyun screamed, but it was not because there was a hidden weapon that really hit him, but because the wooden door had not moved for too long and was covered with dust. Huang Guiyun opened the door fiercely, and the dust that had accumulated for many years rushed towards him.
"It's good to be brave and resourceful." Thirteen looked at Huang Guiyun's self-directed and acted by himself from behind, praised him with a speck of praise, and directly crossed Huang Guiyun and walked into it: "Get the way."
Although there was a lot of dust on the wooden door, fortunately Huang Guiyun squatted down with his head in his arms, and did not let the dust enter his eyes. He stood up after he was sure it was safe. However, Huang Guiyun was not in a hurry to go in, but stared at the wooden door and looked carefully.
Because when I was pushing the door just now, the wooden door was not decayed because of the long time, but the feeling from my hands was like iron, not iron, not wood, and even a little cool. However, from the outside, it looked like wood, and I always felt that it was not like ordinary wood. I was thinking about whether to pick it up and take it out for research.
"Catching antelope!"
When Huang Guiyun was still thinking about what material the door panel was, he heard Thirteen inside suddenly scolding and hurried in to see what happened.
The layout of the house is the same as that of the ordinary bedroom. There is a tea table in the middle, with desks and beds on both sides. There is a screen in front of the bed. At this time, Thirteen was standing next to the screen, and his face was a little unsightly.
Huang Guiyun hurriedly walked around the screen and looked at Thirteen's gaze. He was also startled and almost jumped up.
The room where the two were in was the first bedroom I met after entering the cave. Since it was a bedroom, someone should have lived or lived there. However, the owner here could no longer entertain Huang Guiyun and Shisan because he had already sat cross-legged on the bed and weathered into a mummy.
Now we can determine the number of residents here. If there are many people here, they will not sit on the bed after death, and at least someone will collect the body. There is no doubt that the senior in front of us is alone from beginning to end, and no one will accompany us until we are old and die.
If you are really a martial arts senior, how can you not let this end be touching?
There is another strange thing. If it is natural death, it is not surprising whether it is lying or sitting. In addition to sitting cross-legged on the bed, the mummy in front of him has chains on his hands, feet and even waist to tie it tightly, and it looks more like a prisoner imprisoned here than a master.
However, if it has been locked here all the time, who built this cave? Is there another person who has been here or more people, and their purpose is to take care of this locked person?
At present, there are no records related to text and pictures in the cave to explain who built or who lived here, and the only person who can tell them has passed away. Generally speaking, these senior masters will always leave their own epitaphs to explain to the later generations how much achievements they have ever sat down. Perhaps the person in front of them has done the same.
After the fright, Huang Guiyun found that the mummy was locked by iron chains and was holding objects in both hands. One hand seemed to be an iron piece, while the other hand was a bamboo slip.
Nowadays, it is no longer difficult to make paper. All kinds of books are also made of paper. Using bamboo slips to record things at least hundreds of thousands of years ago. There are no bamboo slips in the study just now. Obviously, the owner used bamboo slips to leave some information in order to avoid the weathering of the paper for a long time.
(Is this the legendary secret book left by the predecessor!!!)
Huang Guiyun was ecstatic and signaled to Thirteen: "Uncle Thirteen, look."
"Yeah, I saw it." However, Thirteen did not choose to take it over and take a look. Maybe he didn't like these things, oh, it should be said to be mummies.
"Do you want to take it... to see..."
"Go and get it."
"I dare not..." Huang Guiyun was extremely scared when he saw the mummy Xuxue. In addition to martial arts stories, the boy also liked to watch some strange stories. Among them, there were many things about the resurrection of zombies, so he was naturally afraid of encountering such things at this time.
"What are you afraid of? You can see this place when you jump off the cliff. This senior from the martial arts world is obviously waiting for you to come." Thirteen started to talk nonsense: "Don't you like to become a disciple? Go and worship now. He should be very happy if he knows in the spring."
"Really?" Huang Guiyun didn't believe such words, and asked back, "Uncle Thirteen, are you so unwilling to worship?"
"Oh~~" Thirteen sighed, turned around and said in a lonely tone: "Actually, when Lin Que was young, he thought the martial arts secrets under the cliff. Masters and seniors were waiting for me, so they couldn't help but jump when they saw the cliff. But they had never encountered it except for falling and broke their hands and feet. This time they jumped into such a mysterious place with you. It was obviously your blessing, how could Lin Que take it away."
It turned out that the idea of jumping on the cliff to pick up secret books was not his own. Huang Guiyun finally had the opportunity to fight back and said, "It turns out that Uncle Thirteen, you believe this statement, and you even tried it, and then came to laugh at me, but I was not as lucky as I was, hahaha."
Thirteen obviously didn't like Huang Guiyun's words like this: "Damn Yao, since you are so lucky, then stay here to chat with this senior, Lin is going to take the lead."
"No, Uncle Thirteen!" Huang Guiyun immediately repented and pulled Thirteen and said, "Why don't we worship together."
"I'm alive and take the opportunity to take advantage of the forest quilt. If you love to worship, don't worship, leave quickly. Be careful that you really spend your whole life with this mummy here."
"Then I'll bow?" Huang Guiyun once again sought Thirteen's opinion. However, Thirteen waved his hand casually, looking extremely impatient.
Huang Guiyun walked to the position of the mummy, knelt down and clasped his fists and said, "Senior, my name is Huang Guiyun. I'm very embarrassed to disturb you, but I jumped off the cliff because I was chased and killed. Maybe I had similar experiences to hide in the cave. If the senior was a master before and had no disciple, I would like to learn your martial arts. Please help me if I don't have a skill."
After saying that, he kowtowed three times deeply.
If these messy words were really spoken when they were apprenticing to the master, they would probably have been kicked away.
When Huang Guiyun kowtowed for the third time, he seemed to hear an old sigh in the cave, and his hair stood up! He quickly stood up and looked around, but there were only him and Thirteen, and the mummy was still motionless on the bed, and the sigh was so true. Could it be that he was really a zombie?!!!
Or Mu Shu's soul has not left, waiting for someone with destiny to come here to inherit his mantle, but he has not been seen for many years. Now, one has finally come and has no choice but to choose, and he has no choice but to agree.
