C1081

After some hard work, Xinran finally broke through the woodcarving formation. Because it took too much energy to break through the formation, after Xinran came over, he didn't move forward immediately. Instead, he took a rest at the other end of the bridge, ate some dry food prepared before treasure hunting, and drank some water. After feeling his energy restored, he got up and went on.

Go further, and then passed a narrow channel, only to see the front suddenly open, and entered a big hole.

There are all kinds of strange stalactites, one by one lifelike, some like bamboo shoots from the ground, some like capsicum hanging upside down, some like a small tree, it's really various.

If you look closer, some are like the monkey king dancing the golden cudgel, some are like peacocks, some are like snakes, some are like giant frogs, and some are like old ladies with crutches.

The whole cave is shining with beautiful color light, everywhere are colorful stalactites, dazzling.

Especially in the middle of the cave, a tall stalagmite is like a crystal clear multi-layer pagoda, which goes straight from the bottom of the cave into the top wall of the cave, as if to arch the top wall. It is like a huge ice cream cone standing high there. If you look at it carefully, it seems that there is still a statue of Maitreya sitting in the ice cream in the tower. One hand was holding a big round belly, the other hand was patting his stomach with pride, and he grinned, as if laughing.

Seeing this, Xinran thought to himself: nature is really magical. Unexpectedly, there are such wonderful landscapes underground. It's incredible. I don't know how the people who built this treasure house found this place. It's really incredible.

Xinran seemed a little fascinated by this magical landscape. After enjoying it for a long time, she came back to herself and thought: this cave is a stalactite cave. There are so many holes in it. Which one should I go from?

Xin Ran took out the map again and looked at it through the light in the cave. But the map only indicated that there was this stalactic cave, but it didn't indicate the details of the cave. Xin Ran didn't know what to do for a moment.

Xinran thought: there are so many exits in the cave, you can't walk casually. If you go wrong, you will be in trouble.

When I think of this, I'll take a closer look in the cave to see what's unusual.

But after a careful look, there is still nothing to find.

For a time, Xinran didn't know what to do. At this time, Xinran felt a little tired and sat down in the cave.

Then he took out the kettle and drank some water. When he looked up to drink water, Xin Ran saw the statue of Maitreya in the big stone bell milk in the middle of the cave. It seemed that he was looking at himself with a smile.

Because this statue of Maitreya is so similar, I can't help staring at this Maitreya and appreciating it carefully. I feel that the eyes of Maitreya seem to be smiling at me, as if they want to tell me something.

Seeing this, Xin Ran thought: is it difficult for Maitreya Buddha to give me instructions?

So, he went to the near of the big stalactite and looked at it carefully. He found that there was a small hole on the stalactite, which seemed to be made by hand. He could just reach into a hand. After hesitating for a moment, he put his hand in, trying to feel if there was anything special in it.

Xinran put his hand into the small hole, and felt that there seemed to be a ring in it. Xinran thought: there is something strange in it.

So Xinran clenched the ring and twisted it to the left, but it didn't move.

Xinran thought about it, then twisted it to the right again. This time, it seemed that it was a little loose, so he increased his strength and twisted it to the right until it couldn't move.

Then he put out his hand.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement. Xinran was a little disappointed and was about to go to other places to look for it.

But just as Xinran was about to turn around, Xinran suddenly found that the whole cave seemed to shake. Soon, the shaking became more serious.

Xinran was shocked and thought: is it difficult that there will be an earthquake here.

Think of here, want to exit cave, find a place to avoid.

But he found that the two openings in front of the cave suddenly fell down, and two stone gates closed the two openings of the cave.

Next, the whole cave slowly returned to calm.

Xinran suddenly realized that he had accidentally pulled the ring inside the big stalactite and touched the mechanism. Only when the mechanism in the cave was activated could the vibration occur, not the earthquake.

Knowing this, Xinran's heart calmed down, and he thought to himself: what's the meaning of lowering two stone gates to seal the two openings in the cave?

If you want to block the exit of the cave, it's not enough to lower two stone gates. Because Xinran of the stalactite cave saw it when he came in. There are no less than 20 exits in the cave. If you want to trap the people in the cave, you should lower all the stone gates. Only in this way can you seal all the exits of the cave and let the people come in No return.

Thinking of this, Xinran thought again: the reason why the man who built the treasure house did so must have his intention. Why don't I go closer and have a closer look.So Xinran came to the two stone gates. Xinran saw the carved words on the stone gate. It was only because of the age and the humidity of the stalactite cave that the carved words on the stone gate were covered with moss.

Xin Ran took out the long sword at his waist and hung up the moss on it. In this way, the words on the two stone gates were all leaked out.

The stone gate on the left says: the gate of wealth, enter from now on; the stone gate on the right says: the gate of loyalty, enter from now on.

After seeing the words on the two gates, Xin Ran thought: judging from the words, if you enter the stone gate on the left, you can get glory and wealth, and if you enter the stone gate on the right, you can pursue loyalty and righteousness.

Different stone gates and different choices have different meanings for different people.

For a moment, Xin Ran didn't know that he was going to enter the stone gate. It is said that Xin Ran came in to obtain treasure and serve the northern expedition of the Song Dynasty. But the education Xin Ran received since childhood was loyalty, benevolence and righteousness. Therefore, Xin Ran stood before the two stone gates and didn't know how to choose.

After careful consideration for a while, Xinran thought: Although treasure is important, loyalty, benevolence and righteousness are the foundation of a person's life. Without these, even if you get treasure, you will not make good use of it.

Thinking of this, I pulled the door ring of the gate of loyalty on the right.

After a roaring sound, the stone gate slowly returned to its original state. When Xin Ran went inside, he saw a line engraved at the exit: you choose the gate of loyalty and righteousness, which is worth entrusting the treasure to our song dynasty; if you open the gate of wealth, it will be hurt, so as not to harm the Song Dynasty.
