Chapter 119: The Shadow
Not only did it not disappear, but the feeling of being spied on became stronger and stronger. This made Long Chengyu nervous at the same time, but he couldn't help but feel competitive.
In his previous life, as a "Dragon Soul" special soldier, he was already good enough at lurking, and he was a martial artist, so he knew how to regulate pranayama without people noticing. But I don't know where the divine is in front of me, and he is so lurking that he can only sense it intuitively.
Long Chengyu approached the area that had been sensed before, and found that the sense of peeping suddenly disappeared, and instead, there was another cold feeling rising, a cold that was cold to the bone marrow, which made Long Chengyu more cautious, and couldn't help but stop under his feet.
"Come out!" After a few seconds of silence, Long Chengyu suddenly turned around and punched behind him. "Whew!" the punch was completely empty, not hitting anything at all.
However, before Long Chengyu's fist fell, a breeze suddenly blew nearby, the surrounding mist moved, and Long Chengyu vaguely saw an extremely faint black shadow running forward. Long Chengyu chased after him without thinking about it.
Because of the white mist, even if the black shadow is very faint, it is still relatively conspicuous. However, it was precisely because of the fog that hindered Long Chengyu's vision that he couldn't really see the black shadow clearly, and he was even afraid that he would lose the figure in the fog.
The dark shadow seemed to be familiar with the environment, and even in the fog, it walked quickly, not afraid of getting lost, not bumping into tree trunks, or stepping into low-lying dirt pits.
But Long Chengyu had to think about this, so even if he was sure that he could catch up with the other party in terms of speed, in such an environment, he didn't dare to do it with all his might.
After chasing hundreds of meters, a cave suddenly appeared in front of it, and it was swarthy, and the black shadow disappeared here. Long Chengyu speculated that he should have run into the cave.
Standing at the mouth of the cave, Long Chengyu couldn't help but hesitate. The entrance to the cave is not large, only four or five meters high, and the width is less than three meters. It doesn't look like it's a natural formation, it's a landslide.
Long Chengyu was not afraid of the black shadow, the reason why he hesitated was because it was not too early, and he had to rush back, otherwise Ning Jiaxin's family would be worried. The second is that I don't know what can be in a cave-in, and it's worth going into and risking.
However, in the end, Long Chengyu decided to go in and investigate. The reason for this was mainly because he sensed that there was a stronger heaven and earth aura overflowing from the cave than the outside world.
Reiki is the essence of heaven and earth that can give birth to wisdom in all things, and without aura, all things in heaven and earth will lack spirituality. On the contrary, the more abundant the aura of heaven and earth, the more spiritual the things are conceived.
This is the reason why cultivators should choose the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land. Because the aura of heaven and earth there is strong. Not only people, but also birds, beasts, and plants and trees also like the places where heaven and earth are full of spiritual energy.
Long Chengyu was originally here to collect medicinal materials, since the cave was full of heaven and earth spiritual energy, it was not certain that there would be any heaven and earth spiritual objects, Long Chengyu couldn't wait to go in and investigate.
The cave formed by the collapse should not be deep, and even after the exploration is completed, it should be too late to get out of the valley. In case the cave is too deep and too long, Long Chengyu can also choose to quit halfway and come back tomorrow.
After making up his mind, Long Chengyu no longer hesitated, picked up a broken branch at the edge of the cave, and stepped into the cave. The light inside was dim, but fortunately there was still light shining in not far from the entrance of the cave, and I could barely see my feet, but I couldn't see farther away, and I couldn't see the end of the cave.
After walking dozens of meters, the light gradually dimmed, and Long Chengyu had already taken out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight function lighting, so that he could see the ground clearly. However, the range of the flashlight is limited, and it still cannot reach the end of the cave.
What made Long Chengyu feel strange was that the entrance of the cave was like a cave-in, and the earth and stones were piled up haphazardly. And where I am standing now, it is like a well-groomed road.
The walls of the corridor look a little old. This made Long Chengyu a little puzzled, could this be an underground palace? But who would go to this deep mountain and old forest to build an underground palace.
The strong curiosity urged Long Chengyu to want to find out, and temporarily forgot about leaving the valley and rushing back to Bashang Village. Not long after walking along the road, Long Chengyu suddenly saw a corpse.
The corpse was decomposed, weathered, and all that was left was a skeleton that looked like it had been dead for some years.
Long Chengyu picked the skeleton with the dead branch in his hand, and the skeleton made a grid sound, but it did not disperse, and there was no trace of weathering, which made Long Chengyu speculate that this skeleton should be considered modern and by no means an ancient human.
It was the villagers of Bashang Village or other nearby villages who accidentally broke into this place. When talking about "Misty Valley" before, Brother Ning Zhengwen mentioned that there were missing villagers in the village.
Looking at the skeleton closely, Long Chengyu found that the skeleton was white, not black, not like poisoning, and there was no broken bones, which made Long Chengyu very puzzled about the cause of this person's death.
Even after seeing the corpse, Long Chengyu decided to continue the investigation. After walking so far, Long Chengyu didn't feel suffocated at all, and even sensed that the aura of heaven and earth was thickening.
However, this kind of rich heaven and earth aura is only floating out in bursts. It was as if a wine bottle had broken not far away, and from time to time there was a burst of wine. This made Long Chengyu even more interested.
After walking for dozens of meters, there was suddenly a faint light in front of me. This made Long Chengyu nervous, since there is light, then there are people in it.
Walking cautiously and heading in, soon came to an open area. Through the faint light, I looked around, but there was no one inside.
This is supposed to be an artificially dug cave. However, it may be due to the age, there have been several landslides. Fortunately, it didn't collapse completely.
"No, this is a tomb!" Long Chengyu looked at it for a while, and suddenly exclaimed. It turns out that in the very center of this cave, there is a sarcophagus.
Because the roof of the cave collapsed, some earth and stones fell on the sarcophagus, and the sarcophagus was partially covered, so Long Chengyu did not find the sarcophagus at the first time.
And the faint light turned out to be fluorescent stones inlaid on the north and south sides of the cave. The fluorescent stone glows with a faint blue glow, which makes the place even more eerie.
If you were an ordinary person, you must be frightened to be alone in such a strange tomb. Fortunately, Long Chengyu is a master of art and is bold and can still maintain his composure.
Because of the existence of that black shadow, even in the face of the cold sarcophagus, Long Chengyu did not dare to be careless, and walked towards the sarcophagus cautiously.
The lid of the sarcophagus had been smashed, revealing the inside of the sarcophagus, and there was no body inside. Long Chengyu picked up the stones in the coffin and saw several broken clay pots, as well as a jade pendant carved with bird and beast patterns.
The crockpot and jade pendant are quite old, and they look like ancient objects. The jade pendant was made of high-quality jade, the size of three fingers, and there was even a trace of the power of a talisman on it. It's clear that it's a magic artifact.
It's a pity that when the collapse occurred, a stone fell down, smashing the jade pendant in two and smashing a good magic weapon. Even so, Yu Pei still saved a few rune seals, which was the power of the rune seals sensed by Long Chengyu.
As for the crockpots, they were broken and empty, and they were useless. However, from some of the residues at the crockpots, a trace of medicine could be smelled somewhat, and Long Chengyu speculated that these crockpots should have originally contained pills, perhaps because of their age, or because the crockpots were smashed, and the pills inside eroded and volatilized.
Long Chengyu tinkered with the branch for a while, and in addition to the jade pendant, he found a jade bottle the size of an inkwell. This jade vase is in good condition, and it is the only well-preserved object in the sarcophagus.
It's a pity that Long Chengyu originally thought that there would be something precious inside, but when he opened the cork, he found that it was also empty.
Putting away the jade bottle, Long Chengyu couldn't help but be very curious about the mysterious sarcophagus owner. I just checked the sarcophagus, but I didn't see any information about the identity of the owner of the tomb.
After exploring the sarcophagus, Long Chengyu began to look at the cave again. This cave has obvious artificial traces, and it should be artificially carved out as a tomb.
In addition, a formation was laid around the tomb, which could gather the aura of heaven and earth. This is the reason why the aura of the tomb heaven and earth is relatively strong, and perhaps it is also the reason why the aura of heaven and earth in this valley is strong.
It's just that because the age is too old, the power of this formation is already very weak. It is not difficult to imagine that this formation must have been very powerful at the peak of its perfection, which made Long Chengyu once again shocked that the person who built this tomb must be a powerful cultivator.
Just when Long Chengyu was shocked and puzzled, a cold wind hit the back of his neck, like a cold current on a winter night, not only quickly but also with a strange cold aura in it.
Fortunately, after Long Chengyu opened up the sea of knowledge, his sense was very agile and he was sober in time. Before he had time to think about it, Long Chengyu immediately dodged and avoided it almost at the same time as this cold and cold wind hit.
He knew that what attacked him was the faint phantom that he had been following. By now, Long Chengyu finally knew what that phantom was.
When he encountered him in the valley, Long Chengyu was suspicious, and now he was finally convinced that it was not a human or a beast that attacked him, but a ghost, and it was indeed a yin spirit.
Many Chinese religions preach that people become ghosts after death, but this is not true. Under normal circumstances, the soul of a person dies, and after the death of the body, the soul power disappears in nature.
Only under certain circumstances can the soul of a very small number of people condense and become a ghost outside the human body, which cultivators call a yin soul.
There will be ghosts in this valley, and it must have something to do with this tomb. As for the strange encounters of the villagers on the dam after entering this misty valley, they should all be the result of this ghostly ghost.
