The darkness was behind the entrance of the cave, and a cold wind blew out and blew on Lu Tao's face, which only lifted his spirits, but Nana and Tatam seemed to feel the shade in it, and they all took a step back, avoiding the position directly facing the entrance of the cave.

The wind came and went as fast as it came, and quickly dissipated, leaving only a faint chill floating in the deep pool next to it. Lu Tao could clearly feel that the wind that did not blow out of the cave did not carry the smell of decay, and it seemed that there was an exit on the other side, which was pouring in a steady stream of cold wind.

So, Lu Tao opened his mouth and asked Nana next to him, "What kind of place is this?"

Nana probed her brain, looked inside the cave twice, and replied, "My father brought me here before, it seems that my grandfather found a ruin, and suddenly appeared here, and then I found that there was nothing worth caring about in it, so I was sealed by my grandfather and father. ”

After a pause, Nana continued: "I saw those words when I was here last time, I asked my father, and my father didn't know them, but today when I saw those words you wrote, I realized that I had seen them here. ”

took out a finger-thick "candle" from his arms, which seemed to be made of some kind of grease, and took out a cylindrical fire fold, lit the candle, and when the flame stabilized, Nana nodded at Lu Tao, and glanced at Ta Tamu again: "Let's go in, Ta Tamu, if you haven't recovered yet, just wait for us to come out outside." ”

"Slow down, slow down, wait for me!" Tatam scrambled up from the ground, patted the dirt off his body, and followed Nana.

Entering the entrance of the cave, Lu Tao found that there was indeed a wind blowing out of it, and the flames above the candle continued to sway with the wind, so that the black rocks around the cave entrance also reflected the light of the stars in the swaying firelight.

Lu Tao suddenly remembered that the last time he was outside, Tatam didn't use this way to illuminate, so he asked, "Nana, why don't you use moss for lighting, where did this candle come from?"

"The candles were taught to me by my grandfather, and they were much brighter than the moss, and when I embroidered at night, I used this kind of candle better than the moss, at least my eyes were not so tired, but there were too few raw materials to make candles, and I had to save some of them. ”

At this time, Tatam interjected: "The candles made by Nana sell very well in the village, and even the village chief and elders use this kind of candle for lighting, but unfortunately it is too expensive, and our family cannot afford it." ”

"What? I set the price too high before?" Nana looked at Tatam with some dismay.

"No, of course not

Tatam shook his head like a wave drum: "This kind of candle is so good, and it still needs so much oil, and it is normal to sell it so expensive, I feel a little sorry that I can't use the candle you made Nana." ”

"Hmph, that's not bad, these chefs are all made by me with hard work, and I will lose money if they are sold cheaply. ”

Tatamuna said yes, and the three of them continued to walk inside.

Soon the cave came to the end, and the end was still blocked by a stone, and the stone that had been chiseled by the axe was like a stone slab, covering the only entrance, and was gently pushed by Lu Tao, revealing the entrance behind.

Behind the stone slab, there was a small cave, and Nana held the candle in her hand and shone it on the stone wall of the cave, on which were colorful murals, describing what seemed to be a war, on one side of the war were people, holding various weapons in their hands, and on the other side they did not know what they were, and they were undergoing human conquest.

"Huh, isn't this a mirage?" Tatam exclaimed, looking at the strangely shaped creatures that were being attacked by humans.

"Mirage, what is that?" Lu Tao tilted his head, fixing his gaze on the strange-shaped creatures on the mural.

"Lu Tao, do you remember the tower where we stayed for one night before? That tower was made in the shape of a mirage. Tatam couldn't wait to say to Lu Tao, as if he wanted to show his omniscience.

If he thought about it, he remembered the towers that stood in the middle of the grassland.

The red and blue colors covered the whole body of the sculpture, and in addition, the patterns on the sculpture made Lu Tao feel that the person who painted these patterns was trying to express the fact that the creature also had a pair of wings. It looked like a dinosaur with three eyes and a pair of wings, which was all Lu Tao's impression of this creature.

But now it seems that the mirage creature has other shapes, at least from the mural, not all of them are the same.

Nana lit these murals with the candle in her hand, and when Lu Tao and Tatam saw the same, she spoke: "These murals don't seem to be originally here, because in other places, we have also found such murals, in addition to the battle with the mirage, there are many other scenes, although these murals exist, no one knows whether the painters of these murals are the ancestors of us underground people." ”

Shaking her head, Nana seemed to be a little emotional, but Lu Tao didn't know what she was feeling, and then, Nana said: "Let's go, those words are not here, in the inner place, when my grandfather and father found those words, they were very excited and said those words."

It is rich in magical power, as long as it can be penetrated, it can obtain great benefits, but it is a pity that after such a long time, neither grandfather nor father has made any progress, and in the end they can only seal this hole and not let anyone enter. ”

Lu Tao was stunned: "Since your father and grandfather are specially sealed here, let's go in like this, is it okay?"

"It doesn't matter. Nana pouted: "Father has long since given up here, as the only learned person in the village, he prefers the respectful gaze of others, and he is not afraid of the sun outside, he only likes to travel between various settlements, ostensibly to gain some new knowledge, but in fact who knows?"

Lu Tao nodded, and did not continue to go deeper on this issue, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Nana seemed to have some complaints about her father.

"Uncle Sika is the person I respect the most, and the stories and truths he told are very useful, especially since he said that the world is not only big, but also amazing, and that if you just confine yourself to one place, you will not be able to explore the mysteries of this world. Tatam's eyes sparkled as he looked at Nana, and the admiration in them could not be concealed.

Lu Tao: "......"

There is a saying, what is it? If you don't die, you won't die. Lu Tao admires Tatam a little now, and I don't know why he can offend Nana with every word.

Sure enough, Nana snorted and glared at Tatam: "Hmph! If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person! I haven't said yet, since the cave you mentioned before is new, then it is dangerous or not, it should have been sent from the village to enter and explore it together with the samurai of other villages, but you want to take care of yourself to see, what if there is danger? It's not that such a thing has never happened. ”

"Isn't this all instilled in you by my father? Adventure and exploration, where are there so many dangers in this world to explore? Stories are just stories, those real explorers, which one of them is not nine deaths, so that they can come out alive to tell these stories to future generations? If something happens to the expedition, I think what will you do?"

Nana seemed to be really angry, and when Lu Tao looked over, Tatam seemed to be about to cry. Therefore, Lu Tao interrupted what Nana was about to say next, and quickly changed the topic: "Let's see what those words are written first, maybe they just record some inconsequential things, and then tell your father the content of the text proposed on it, and he will be happy to think about it." ”

Nodding, Nana held up the candle in her hand: "Forget it, don't mention him, I feel uncomfortable at the mention of him, let's go, it's just ahead!" 2k reading web
