"Aso, now give you a chance to choose, do you really want to go in with us?" After determining that the tunnel at the entrance could enter people, Suzuki Fiana asked Mizuno Aso solemnly.

"Yes, I want!" Mizuno Aso raised his hand high, with an excited face, she was born with the treasure hunting bloodline of the Mizuno family, how could she let it go when she encountered such an opportunity.

"In that case, then you have to be mentally prepared, because there may be unknown dangers inside, so after you go in, you must never walk around, you have to follow me, and if there is danger, go to Manaka's side. With that, Fiana Suzuki pointed at someone.

Mizuno Aso couldn't help but look over, secretly thinking that this guy was worthy of Sister Fiana's trust, but as the only man, he was finally a little reliable.

"Understood, Sister Fiana. Although he wasn't looking forward to it, Mizuno Aso politely said to someone, "Please take care of me, Manaka-san." ”

Li Xuehao looked at her, nodded, and didn't speak. It's not difficult for him to protect an ordinary person.

Ready, several people began to take off their backpacks, because there was only a one-meter square hole, and they couldn't get in with their backpacks on their backs, so they could only carry them in their hands.

Fiana Suzuki walked in front, and she took a flashlight and cautiously entered the tunnel first.

Then there were Minako Suzuki and Aso Mizuno, then Sayuri Chiba and Midori Sawai, and Li Xuehao was the last one, because he had to put the bluestone slab at the entrance back so that no one would accidentally see it.

After the bluestone slab was put back in place, there was no longer even the only light source that shone in.

It's very dark in the tunnel, but luckily everyone has a flashlight and glow stick before they arrive, which can come in handy at critical moments.

The only one who was empty-handed was Mizuno Aso, who was added temporarily.

The tunnel was quiet, only the footsteps of a few people, going down one by one, and no one was in the mood to speak.

It is estimated that it is one or two kilometers down, and the highest peak of the whole Chicheng Mountain is only more than 1,800 meters, almost to the foot of the mountain, it is hard to imagine that hundreds of years ago, someone dug through the whole mountain, which is simply an alternative "Yugong moved the mountain".

But when I finally saw the end, it was a stone door.

The stone gate is two meters high and two meters wide, and it is a reassuring one, divided into two doors, and there is a thin gap in the middle, so it can be clearly seen that it is a stone gate.

However, I don't know how thick it is, Fiana Suzuki, who was walking in the front, pushed it with her hand, but she didn't move.

The road where several people were at this time was also about two meters wide, because they all gathered in front of the stone gate, which seemed a little crowded.

"There must be a mechanism here, let's look for it. After Fiana Suzuki pushed it, she thought that it would be difficult for the human power to open it, so she thought of the mechanism.

Li Xuehao knew that this stone door had no mechanism at all, but was completely sealed, and through the perception of his divine sense, it was even completely barred by the door latch, and the thick door latch was also made of stone, at least someone had a thick arm, or a full five.

If the people outside want to enter, they must first destroy the stone door latch inside, otherwise there is no other way than to blow up the stone gate. So one thing is more certain, the stone latch was inserted from the inside.

In other words, the person who dug up this underground "treasure spot" did not come out, but sealed himself inside.

If you think about it, digging through the entire mountain, almost two kilometers in length, it's incredible. Moreover, there is a warning of "the sealed place, the ominous revelation", what terrible thing is sealed inside?

Even when he arrived outside the stone gate, Li Xuehao's perception of the inside was not very clear, because the shielding formation was very powerful, and it seemed to be prepared to prevent cultivators like him who could sense it with his divine sense. This shows that the person who dug this underground cave at the beginning is likely to be a fellow practitioner, and his strength is definitely not weak.

Otherwise, 400 years ago, it would be almost impossible for ordinary people to dig through the entire mountain, only cultivators can, and they have the means and energy.

A few people searched for a while at the door, but they couldn't find anything like a mechanism.

"Manaka, is there a way?" Fiana Suzuki also gave up, looking expectantly at someone who seemed to be pondering.

"I'll give it a try. Li Xuehao stepped forward, but he couldn't find the mechanism, so he had to rely on him, and he couldn't just quit like this.

"Hmm. Suzuki Fiana and Suzuki Minako both have a lot of confidence in him, remembering that in the cave of Oda Nobunaga, the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King", he could lift a boulder weighing 10,000 catties with his hands, so even if he had to violently push open these two stone doors, it must not be very difficult.

Under the gaze of several people, Li Xuehao put his hands on the stone door, secretly shook the latch behind the stone door with his aura, and then began to push.

With the screeching sound of "crunch", the stone door was slowly pushed open by him.

Suzuki Fiana and the others were excited, and finally, the "Sealed Land" was opened, what would be inside?

......

On the other side, Akagi Shrine.

In the main hall, there are deities, offerings, and coins, and it is the abode of the gods, and it is also the most sacred place in the shrine, and it is forbidden for ordinary people to enter.

At this moment, an old man in a hunting suit was sitting upright on the ground, his eyes closed, his expression serene, as if he was asleep, silent.

Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded in the main hall, especially clear in this silent environment, as if something was shattering.

The old man in the hunting clothes opened his eyes suddenly, his expression was shocked, he hurriedly got up from the ground, and hurriedly took out a necklace hanging around his neck, the pendant of the necklace was a round jade body as pure as glass, and there was a small hole in the middle, just enough for the rope to pass through.

The jade ring, which was originally flawless, was now covered with cracks, and under the touch of his hand, the jade ring shattered with a "bang" and fell to the ground.

He was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted, screaming "ah", and rushed out of the door, without the slightest look of the sky just now.

The rest of the shrine who heard the shouting all ran towards this side, and for a while, almost all of them, who didn't know what was going on, panicked, because the shouting sound came from the main shrine of the shrine, which was the habitat of the gods, and only the priests of the shrine could enter it.

The screams came from the priest, what happened to make the priest make that terrible and terrifying sound?

The old man in hunting clothes who rushed out of the main hall kept running in one direction, there was a small courtyard of independence, and before he could enter, he had already shouted, without the demeanor of a priest: "May! May!"

"I'm here. A beautiful female voice came from a short distance to the left, where there was a cluster of flowers, and a woman dressed in a white and red shrine maiden costume stood up from the ground, facing the priest, she did not have much courtesy, only basic etiquette.

"Oh no, Tamako, someone has broken the seal of the alliance between the Akagi Great Myojin and the swamp god Akanuma Okami, and the world will soon be in chaos. The priest's face was full of panic, as if the innocence had really collapsed.

"That 'Sealed Land' 400 years ago?" the shrine maiden's expression also changed, but she was much better than the priest and did not show more nervousness.

"Tamako, now it's up to you, find the 'Sealed Land' immediately, bring the imperial coin and artifact, and be sure to seal that monster again, otherwise there will be no living creatures alive here in Onuma. The priest said with a cautious and flustered expression.

"I see. The shrine maiden nodded, looked at the priest and said, "You don't need to worry too much, it's just a legend, is there really that kind of monster......

"No, that kind of monster really exists!" the priest interrupted her reassuring words, "400 years ago, there were many deaths near Mt. Akagi, all of them were white bones, not even a little flesh and blood, and after being devoured by that monster, they would spit out the fleshless bones. Speaking of the back, the priest had a palpitating look on his face, as if he had seen that kind of monster.

The shrine maiden didn't speak, just looked at him calmly, not knowing if she really believed what he said.

"May, bring this again. The priest spread out his palm, and there were several fragments of the jade ring he had just shattered, "As long as you get close to the 'Sealed Land', these artifact fragments will emit red light...... Please, be sure to find the 'Sealed Land' and seal it again. ”

"Yes!" the shrine maiden took the fragment of the "artifact" in his hand and solemnly promised.

......

On the other side, Li Xuehao had already pushed open the stone door.

Behind the stone gate, there is a huge space.

The space is unimaginably huge, and Fiana Suzuki shines a flashlight into it, but there is no end in sight, deep and lonely.

"Let's go inside. Since she couldn't see the inside of the space clearly, Suzuki Fiana didn't waste any more time and was going to go in and search to see if she could find the artifact or practice notes left behind by the Ming people who saved Princess Chihime.

"Wait a minute. Li Xuehao stopped her at the right time.

"Manaka, did you find anything?" Fiana Suzuki trusted him, so she stopped and stood just outside the door without going inside the goal line.

"Hmm. Li Xuehao nodded solemnly, although there was no sound in the huge space, it seemed very safe. But a sense of foreboding rose in his heart, which was a strong hint for the practitioner.

It seems that this time it was really careless, he didn't feel that sense of foreboding on the top of the mountain, and thought that there was no danger, it turned out that even the sense of foreboding was blocked by that formation, and at this moment he went deep into here and opened this stone door, and he knew that the degree of danger in it had exceeded his estimate.
