There is death in life, and there is life in death. It is impossible to design such a magnificent formation just to trap people in this small deep pool.

It’s not that you can’t die, but that you’re too simple, uncreative, and unsightly. Xu You judges others by yourself. If he sets up a formation and makes everything come to an abrupt end here, there will be regrets that you still have unfinished!

So, there must be an exit here, but they haven't found it yet.

Qingming went into the water again, but there was nothing left. Time passed quickly, and the person's body temperature was quietly sucked away by the cold water. No one knew how long Xu You could last. He bit the root of his tongue, and the violent stinging pain kept the brain working normally. Suddenly, "Qingming, are you proficient in Yiju, can you make a fortune and take a look?"

"good!"

Qingming responded, and pinched a strange handprint with his fingers, then sank into the water and moved gently. The calm water surface rippled slightly, and the vortex that appeared seemed to imply a mysterious truth between heaven and earth. It can only be understood, not expressed in words.

Xu You could feel his movements and smiled and said, "Everything in the world and everything is a hexagram, but it is rare to call a hexagram like you... How about it, which hexagram was created?"

"*tun, the hexagram of the dragon living in shallow water, the image of the beginning of all things!"

Xu You's expression was greatly excited and said, "Tun hexagram is the upper and lower shaking. Kan is rain, which means danger; Zhen is thunder, which means movement. *Tun is when thunder and rain are intertwined and dangerous. But as long as you are brave and courageous, you can advance without any obstacles when you see the difficulties. This is a sign of the difficulty in the first place, and it is a good luck to the top!"

The hexagram gives the two great confidence. Many times, when they are in desperate situations, they are most afraid of not the desperate situation themselves, but the loss of the desire to survive and the belief that they can survive. The *Tun hexagram may not be so mysterious, but at this moment, it is the bright lamp that ignites the endless life.

"If you look carefully, the empty door in the water is different from the flat ground, and the sound may be heavier. Also, this pool does not have a rotten smell. It should not be stagnant water. There must be a place to draw live water in..."

Qingming dived three times again and groped around the mountain wall several times, and finally found a secret door on the north side of the water. I don’t know how thick this secret door was. If I hadn’t felt the slight fluctuation of the water flow oozing out of the gap in the wall, I wouldn’t be able to hear the flaws just by hitting it.

Finding the secret door is the first step, but the mechanism to open the secret door is more difficult to find than the secret door itself. Later, Xu You had an idea and let Qingming move the stone at the bottom of the pond and find a huge iron round rudder not far from the secret door. The iron chains as thick as wrists were rolled into many circles. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the key to opening the secret door.

"Langjun, I tried it. There is no other way, I can only turn the iron rudder by brute force."

Xu You nodded and said, "The past has tested wisdom, talent, courage and decisions. Now we naturally have to test our force. In the final analysis, one force can reduce ten things..."

Five meters deep, more than ten meters of water, the weight of light is terrifying. In addition, the iron rudder is useless all year round, and rust, its own resistance, and the mass of the secret doors, it is impossible for anyone to turn it around at all.

Fortunately, Qingming has arrived outside the fifth-grade mountain gate, and using force to break the Dharma, everything will be accomplished.

He dived into the bottom of the water. After ten breaths, the harsh noise of the iron chain and the stone rubbing. The half-person-high exit was slowly opened to the north of the bottom of the pond. Tons of water surging and leaking out. The powerful momentum made people unable to maintain balance. Qingming hugged Xu You with one hand and grabbed Yin Changsheng with the other hand, curled up, protecting the vital points of the head and chest to prevent bumps, and rushed out from the exit with the current of the water.

As soon as I got outside, I heard the sound of thunderous water in my ears. Before I could react, the three of them fell seven feet into the air and fell into the underground river that was rushing deep into the ground.

The power of nature is unbearable. The underground river flows downward at an incline of thirty degrees and is very rapid. Qingming tried his best to barely maintain the embrace of the three of them so that they would not be dispersed by the rapids. In such a place, the sky, earth, sun and moon are not visible in the depths. Once they are separated, they may never meet again.

I don’t know how long it took, maybe dozens of breaths, or maybe only in a moment, the dark river came to a bend of about 120 degrees. Qingming arched his back and took on this almost deadly impact with his flesh and blood. With a muffled groan, blood was flowing from his lips, and then he entered a relatively smooth river, and then he had a chance to breathe.

"Langjun, how are you?"

After so many twists and turns, Xu You was extremely weak and forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I can't die... Where is Yin Changsheng?"

"He is still alive, but he was seriously injured and can't last long!" Qingming's tone was still so plain and calm, and he said, "I don't know where this dark river leads. Can you have any solutions?"

"Don't forget that the Tun hexagram you have raised will be prosperous in accordance with the times. My countermeasure is to follow the trend and wait until the Shengmen appears!"

"What does Langjun mean?"

"As it said, although the formation in the Qingming Cave is extremely dangerous, there will be a gate of life whenever we can catch it. As long as we can catch it, we will be safe and sound."

But when people are in the river, they can't see their five fingers, and they can't even stop. How can they find the extremely hidden door of Shengmen?

The Daluo Golden Immortal can't do it...

"Langjun, look!" Qingming suddenly shouted loudly.

Xu You looked up and saw two faint lights. The closer he got, the more light became brighter. Looking intently, it turned out that it was not a lamp, but the same hanging beads on the two bridges in front of the Tianshi Palace, which were larger, rounder and brighter than those broken hanging beads!

These two hanging beads are embedded on the left and right corners of a huge dragon head. The dragon head is cast in copper, vivid and majestic. Looking down at all living beings gives people who have experienced disasters an extremely shocking and oppressive feeling.

"Qingming, it's here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his belt was thrown out and tied to the dragon horn. Qingming came out through the water, carrying Xu You and Yin Changsheng and landed steadily on the dragon head.

"Cough...cough!"

Xu You retching a few times and spit out a few mouthfuls of river water. His expression was depressed, but his spirit was quite excited. With the light of the hanging beads, he reached out and touched the surroundings and said, "This is a dragon, not a dragon..."

There are many different records of dragons in ancient books, some say they have horns, and some say they have no horns. However, dragons are dragons, and horns are more in line with people's imagination. Their horns are different from dragon horns, straight and short, without bifurcations, but dragon horns are more like deer horns.

Qingming agreed with Xu You's opinion and said, "This should be the Jiao Mujiao, the first of the seven constellations of Canglong!"

"Yes, the twenty-eight constellations in the twenty-four solar terms are in the opposite corner of the Qingming Festival!" Xu You sat down against the dragon horn and said, "The Heavenly Master's Dao divides the world into twenty-four governances, the lower solar terms are in line with the stars and the upper solar terms, and the large formation of twenty-four caves in Heming Mountain is related to the qi mechanism of the twenty-four solar terms. Naturally, the traces of the twenty-eight constellations are indispensable!"

He stood up, bowed his head and looked in from the dragon's mouth, vaguely feeling the flow of the wind, and smiled and said, "Let's go, Shengmen is so easy, I must have reached the end of this trip!"

At that moment, Qingming was carrying Yin Changsheng on his back, and first bent down and crawled into the dragon's mouth. Xu You followed behind and crawled forward. After about half a stick of incense, it finally arrived at the exit. Qingming got out first, Xu You followed behind, and then stayed completely in place.

They stood on a protruding stone platform in the air, behind them was the head of a horned wooden dragon that was exactly the same as outside. In front of them was an extremely huge dome-shaped space, more than 30 meters high and dozens of meters wide. More than a dozen stone pillars that were embraced by three people supported the top of the cave. Countless fluorites were inlaid among the mountain walls, purple, emerald green, light blue, colorful, flashing with glass luster, reflecting water light, illuminating this space like a fairyland.

In the middle of the bottom, deep water flows surround a high platform. There is a well on the platform. The exposed part is made of bluestone and green algae spots, which is exactly the same as the wells used in ordinary villages and towns.

Next to the wellhead, there is an ancient sword with a quiet body and a jade-like luster. There are five-section chain handles, and there are runes hidden on them, such as stars, sun and moon.

"This... is the Jiguijing?" Xu You couldn't help but take a step forward, almost unable to believe what he saw, and said, "Three or Five Evil Sword?"

Qingming was also very mobilized, his voice trembled slightly, and he said, "It is said that the Jieguijing is under the Tianshi Palace. Could it be that this is the lonely peak where the Tianshi Palace is located?"

"We entered the cave from the cliff beside the flat dam, went down and advanced many times, and then passed the underground river to the place where the mountain was connected to the Guren Jue Peak... So you guessed that, above us, it should be the Tianshi Palace!" Xu You pointed to the surrounding mountain walls and said, "Look, from us, there are Kang Jinlong, Di Turaccoon, Fang Ri Rabbit, Xinyue Fox, Taihuhu Tiger, Jishui Leopard, this is the bronze cast beast of the seven constellations of Canglong.

The first one is located in the east; look at the opposite side, Kui Mulang, Lou Jindog, Gentle Earth Pheasant, Mao Riji, Bi Yuewu, Guhuo Fire Monkey, Gentle Water Ape, these are the seven constellations of the White Tiger, located in the west; then the seven constellations of the Vermilion Bird, Jing Mu Wan, Gui Jin Sheep, Willow Earth Deer, Xing Sun Horse, Zhang Yuelu, Wing Fire Snake, Zhen Water Worm, located in the south; Xuanwu Seven Constellations, Doumu Huo, Niu Jinniu, Female Earth Bat, Xuri Rat, Weiyue Swallow, Room Fire Pig, Wall Water Worm, located in the north!"

"In other words, the last entrance to Qingming Cave is the bronze-cast beast head of the horned wood dragon just now, and the other caves also come in from the corresponding star beast heads?"

"Yes, except for Jingzhe, Mangzhe, Hanlu, and Xiaoxue, the four caves correspond to two constellations, the other caves and one solar term, corresponding to one constellation. The road and the same path. No matter which cave comes from, the final end point is here - Jieguijing!"

After looking at it Qingming Festival, there were indeed two bronze beast heads at the entrance of the Mangzhong Cave, namely the Xinyue Fox corresponding to Xinsu and the Taihuo Tiger corresponding to Weisu.

If life hadn't reached this point, who would have thought that the existence of the twenty-four caves called Ketong Immortal Palace was to protect the legendary Jiguijing that could ban all ghosts?
