Chapter 203 Nine Heavens Mysterious Gate Opens Every Seventh
"Brother Fan, do you think that Li Shaojun has really transformed into an immortal?" When passing by the stone statue, Liu Feier couldn't help but ask again.
"Impossible, they are all lies. Either Zhuang Junping told a lie, or Li Shaojun was trying to make things up. Anyway, I don't believe that a living person can disappear in this secret room."
"But that place is really weird! When I first saw the man in black, I felt that he knew how to enchant me and wanted to lure me away. If someone hadn't helped me, maybe, maybe..." Liu Fei
Thinking about what happened just now, I still feel frightened.
"Someone pulled you?" Geng Xiaofan frowned.
"It feels like someone pulled me hard and woke me up from my dream." Liu Feier explained.
"Oh! I stepped forward to help you, but you kicked me to the ground!" Geng Xiaofan laughed at himself nonchalantly.
"Brother Fan!" Liu Fei'er hugged Geng Xiaofan's arm tightly and whispered in his ear, "You came to Dahan, so did you just disappear into thin air from the original world?"
Liu Fei'er's words made Geng Xiaofan tremble!
If there is really no reasonable explanation, will Li Shaojun travel through time like himself? Is Li Shaojun a "time and space traveler"?
Geng Xiaofan stopped and looked at the stone statue carefully again.
The body parts of the stone statue were simply carved, but the face was smooth and delicate. Geng Xiaofan had a big question mark in his mind!
The crystal has a Mohs hardness of 7, which is larger than ordinary steel files and hacksaws. How did Li Shaojun carve it?
Also, at first glance, Geng Xiaofan felt that the crystals in the cave were distributed in a regular pattern. Now he could see more clearly that they were distributed linearly in a radial pattern starting from the stone statues!
This is by no means a "work" that "should" appear in this period! Geng Xiaofan felt a little creepy!
What would it look like if this statue was connected to the crystals in the cave? The image of "circuit board" immediately came to Geng Xiaofan's mind!
No, it’s not as simple as a circuit board! It’s more like human brain tissue!
Geng Xiaofan raised his head and looked around, and found that this circular "mine" was really similar in shape to the human brain!
Is this a miraculous creation of nature, or is it done deliberately by "human beings"?
Geng Xiaofan broke into a cold sweat!
He forgot about his hunger and thirst, picked up Fei'er and ran to the stone room on the top of the mountain. He couldn't wait to get to know this Li Shaojun!
Zhuang Junping should be very aware of the situation of Geng Xiaofan and the others. Seeing them coming back in a hurry, he still showed no expression.
"Old god, wake up first! We have to talk!"
"Say it, I'm listening." Zhuang Junping opened his eyes.
"Tell me first how to get out! You old man can live without food or drink for ten or eight days, but I can't! I'm going to die of hunger right now!" Geng Xiaofan shouted.
"Young Master Geng is indeed extraordinary! He even knows how to do bigu in my sect!" Zhuang Junping smiled slightly.
But Liu Fei'er was confused, "Brother Fan, what is inedia? Is it really possible not to eat or drink?"
"I don't quite understand either. There is a legend in Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou", 'On the mountain of Miaogushe, there is a god and man living there. His skin is like ice and snow, and he is as graceful as a virgin. He does not eat grains, but breathes wind and drinks dew, turning into clouds.
Yu Feilong, and travel across the four seas...' That's probably what he was talking about." Geng Xiaofan originally wanted to reply to Zhuang Junping, but Fei'er asked, so he explained.
"If you don't eat grains, you breathe wind and drink dew! Wouldn't that be a god?" Liu Feiren exclaimed.
"Yes! So, the person in front of us is a god!" Geng Xiaofan seized the opportunity and mocked Zhuang Junping.
After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Old immortal, your surname is also Zhuang. You must be a descendant of Zhuang Zhou!"
Zhuang Junping was not surprised that Geng Xiaofan could guess his relationship with Zhuangzi, but it was beyond his expectation that he could recite "Xiaoyaoyou" accurately.
Zhuangzi is indeed his ancestor, and there are many legends about him circulating in the world, but Zhuang Junping has never seen his works recited so accurately.
"Since the young master is so knowledgeable, can't he break this trap?" Zhuang Junping was ready to test Geng Xiaofan again.
Zhuang Junping's "provocation" aroused Geng Xiaofan's fighting spirit! Since he said there was a mechanism in this small room, he would definitely be able to find it in such a large space!
Geng Xiaofan began to study the star chart on the stone wall carefully. If there was a "mechanism", it must be on this star chart.
The entire stone chamber is not big, it is a round sphere. The stone walls are covered with fist-sized crystal stones, representing stars, and the stars are connected by engraved lines.
Geng Xiaofan had never studied the stars. He only identified the Big Dipper. Along with the two stars Tianxuan and Tianshu, Geng Xiaofan easily found the North Star, but there was something strange there. There was no crystal stone!
The most important star was not represented by a crystal stone! Geng Xiaofan couldn't help but start to pay attention and found that there seemed to be a hole!
It’s right to think about it, in such a small space, if there is no “exhaust hole”, people may be suffocated to death! This North Star is the “exhaust hole” that connects the stone chamber with the outside world!
Geng Xiaofan raised his head for too long and his neck ached, so he simply lay down on the bed. It felt much more comfortable now, but where was the mechanism? Although the North Star was connected to the outside world, the hole was too small to allow one person to enter or exit.
There is another key question. How did Zhuang Junping keep time in this "enclosed" space? It's really puzzling!
In a daze, Geng Xiaofan actually felt a little sleepy.
"Fei'er, I'm really hungry. Why don't we think of a way and go out to find something to eat first!"
I don't know how long it took, Geng Xiaofan woke up leisurely and sat up. Since he couldn't solve the mystery of the stone chamber for a while, he first thought of ways to fill his stomach.
"If there is a rope, we can try it." Liu Fei'er has been thinking of ways to get out of trouble.
"Well, if we connect the three belts together, it will be almost long enough!" Geng Xiaofan started to play with Zhuang Junping's idea.
Zhuang Junping opened his eyes, looked up, and said lightly, "Don't waste your efforts, I'm afraid it's too late!"
"Why is it too late?" Geng Xiaofan was stunned and looked at Zhuang Junping in confusion.
Zhuang Junping did not explain, and closed his eyes again.
"Mysterious! Fei'er, let's go, use our belts, if you step on my shoulders, I won't believe it and won't be able to get out!"
Geng Xiaofan stood up angrily, pulled Liu Fei'er to the stone door, and opened the stone door. Geng Xiaofan was dumbfounded!
What appeared in front of him was not the steps leading to the crystal cave, but a smooth stone wall! A stone wall that was polished like a mirror!
"What the hell is going on!" Geng Xiaofan was shocked.
