Chapter 108: Ancient Ruins

A nine-tailed fox demon named Zhang Lei lives on the fifth floor, just below Jin Ying, and the other two monsters live on the sixth floor of the top floor, they are Jin Ying and Yan'er, or a handsome monster named Emperor Chen who is climbing the stairs......

Ji Ao was humming an out-of-tune song, and finally came to the top floor where Jin Hotaru lived, Jin Hotaru liked the sun, and the place he chose to live must also be an unobstructed house.

In the architecture of the metropolis, there are dozens of floors, there are hundreds of floors, and a six-story house can have such a lot of sunlight. There weren't many, so even though it was a mixed place, Hotaru still lived satisfactorily.

Ji Ao knew that Jin Ying had never had a precedent for going out in the morning, so he didn't even knock on the door. Go straight through the wall and into the house. To his surprise, there were no "people" in the house.

"How could no one be home?" Ji Ao scratched his head.

He vaguely remembered meeting Zhang Lei, a nine-tailed fox in elementary school a few days ago, who said that he was going to participate in a trip organized by the school and to bring his "good friend" Yan'er with him.

"Oh! yes!" Ji Ao patted his head, "Suzaku must have gone on a trip with Zhang Lei." But what about the golden fireflies, who also went along?"

Ji Ao looked around the room, and he thought that Jin Hotaru was not the kind of youkai who was interested in traveling, unless he was worried about what trouble Suzaku would do.

"But Zhang Lei won't have any problems at all. This guy has more than nine tails, and even his head seems to have as many as nine!"

So where can Jin Firefly go?

Ji Ao stretched his waist and lay on the sofa warmed by the sun, he yawned again and again, he had a crazy night with the human woman last night, and he didn't sleep well, thinking in his heart: sleep here first, and wait for him to come back. Suddenly, the newspaper on the coffee table caught his eye.

This is a daily newspaper of the city.

Ji Ao picked up the newspaper and saw such a news item on the front page, the general content of the news was: In a village on the outskirts of the city, the remains of an ancient building were found. After the preliminary identification of experts, it was confirmed that the relics belonged to the Xia Dynasty, and the cultural relics unearthed from the relics were very rare. Experts speculate that these artifacts were used as sacrificial temples or altars. This is very important for understanding the culture and religion of the time.

Ji Ao's attention was not on the words, but on an image attached to the news: the black-and-white picture showed a stone platform half-buried in the earth, with a few strange words half-exposed on the stone platform, and the caption of the picture showed that it was a newly discovered text that could not be deciphered yet.

"The land of Witchham. Ji Ao looked at the words on the picture carefully, and couldn't help but read it softly.

It had been a long time since he had seen the words in this memory, and for a moment, his mind was in a trance.

He remembers that as a child, his parents used to teach him spells, ancient legends, and poetry in books written in this language. But now, Ji Ao's family and this kind of writing have long been buried in the long river of time. He looked at this photo, and the memory of "Wuxian Country" involuntarily flashed in his mind.

"There is Lingshan, Wu Xian, Wu Ji, Wu Pan, Wu Peng, Wu Gu, Wu Zhen, Wu Li, Wu Di, Wu Xie, Wu Luo, the ten witches have risen and fallen since then, and the love of a hundred medicines is in. "Ten sorcerers walked up the stairs, collected a hundred herbs and refined immortal medicines, and sent down the divine will to rule the people according to the decree of the Emperor, and the place where they lived was named after their chief, called "The Land of Wuxian".

"Could it be that the legendary country of Wuxian is in this ruin?" Ji Ao thought to himself.

"No, according to my memory, this country of Wuxian should be located between the heavenly realm Kunlun and the human realm, it is impossible to be in this human realm, this site is estimated to be only a place used by humans to commemorate the 'Ten Witches', I hope they can find what I am interested in from the historical records, and when they put the ruins in order, I will also go over and take a look." ”

"Jin Ying is not at home, will it have anything to do with this newspaper?" Ji Ao then flipped through the newspaper and found nothing that interested him.

"Wu Xian...... Hundred medicines......" he couldn't help but think to himself.

Ji Ao jumped up from the sofa and fell asleep: "Jin Ying...... Do you want to ......?"

He scratched his head, it shouldn't be what he thought, right? Jin Ying wouldn't go looking for these "witch salty medicines" that he didn't know if they really existed, right? He knew that Jin Ying's survival purpose was to "cultivate to achieve positive results".

If he knew that there was an immortal elixir that could live forever if he ate it, it wouldn't be strange for him to run to find it.

Just because a news item in the newspaper said that he would find a ruin, it was too unrealistic, but he knew that Jin Hotaru was a person with a tendon in his head, and maybe he would run for a piece of news.

Ji Ao directly poured the water into Jin Hotaru's cup and drank it. He was thinking about it, and couldn't help but look out the window: "Should I wait here for him to come back? Or should I go there and see if I can help? Anyway, it's a good day, so let's take a break." ”

The wheat field that was supposed to be growing was a mess by bulldozers and the like.

Behind a few mounds of earth is the archaeological site - this wheat field did not become like this because of archaeology, on the contrary, it was human beings who wanted to build a factory here, and made a good field like this to discover this historical site, and look at the wheat leaves that grew out of the burial mound.

Ji Ao couldn't help but shake his head.

The archaeological site was very busy, with dozens of people working in an orderly manner. Ji Ao cast his invisibility spell and stood silently watching from the sidelines. He doesn't like the casual change of the environment by humans, but he respects those who work hard, so he doesn't bother them.

"Shadow ......" Ji Ao looked around, "hasn't he been here?"

He looked at the place again, and it was the remains of many half-buried stone walls, and the solid foundations alone would have given one the magnificence of the complex.

Ji Ao put his hand on the stone wall, as if listening to something, and after a while, he nodded and muttered, "Is it?

If Ji Ao hadn't used the stealth technique at this time, the people who saw him would have been frightened. Ji Ao, who was originally standing there, slowly dived into the ground, as if he was stepping on quicksand instead of land. After a while, he was completely submerged in the ground.

Ji Ao was now standing in an underground passage about two meters above the ground. The dark passage is a bit damp. Many places are still dripping. The sound of dripping water echoed through the passage, quite a horror movie atmosphere.

"It's like a youkai is going to jump out at any moment. Ji Ao put his hands in his pockets, and he walked very unsteadily.

"However, I'm a monster myself, so am I going to jump out and scare others?" Ji Ao couldn't help but be a little disappointed that there was no one here for him to intimidate, and the dark, damp, narrow passages and the rotten smell of the subsoil had no effect on Ji Ao.

"A youkai, a youkai ......" Ji Ao continued to sing his own "Yokai Song" and walked down the sloping passage deep underground. After turning a corner, there was a faint flash of fire in front of him.

Ji Ao frowned, could it be that they were Jin Hotaru and Yan'er?

Like Ji Ao, Jin Ying can see things clearly without lighting, which means that there is no need to light a fire, so who is lighting in front of her?
