Chapter 384: The Original Setting
Zuo Long Lao Dao, ignited and tested the oxygen in the channel, and saw that there was no abnormality, so he said: "There is no problem, let's go." ”
He was still kind, he didn't let Bai Xiu wade into the water, but got into it himself. Zuo Chun followed behind him, still not saying a word, the personalities of father and son are really different.
This well-like passage does not seem to be deep, but it is difficult to walk, and I don't know how many people have set foot in it, and the four walls are covered with moss, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will fall headlong and break your hand and foot. After about a quarter of an hour, they finally frightened the passage.
Underneath this was a slightly wider space, which happened to give all three of them a foothold. A rough path winds its way from the side of the cave to the bottom of the mountain.
Zuo Long smiled when he saw this scene: "It seems that we are not the first batch to come here, you and the old-timers have helped us open the road." ”
Zuo Chun couldn't help but show a look of doubt, and finally asked: "Then we don't want to pounce, what treasures are in it, I'm afraid it has already been moved." ”
Zuo Long smiled incomprehensibly: "They found the entrance, but they may not be able to enter, and even if they enter, they may not be able to find the treasure room." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Bai Xiu meaningfully. Bai Xiu had also studied the map made by Najuan, and he had some conjecture in his heart, so he nodded. But he never said too much, but said: "I just don't know if there are any masters who have taken the lead." ”
Zuo Long said firmly: "My peer returned in vain twenty years ago, but if you look at the traces nearby, I am afraid that no one has ever been here, and no one will be preempted." ”
As he spoke, he still took the lead towards the path. Bai Xiu followed behind the two, but there was a strange feeling in his heart for no reason, he wanted to investigate it carefully, but it was difficult to capture that little bit of aura.
At present, the road is much easier to walk than before, and after estimating the height, they soon reached the bottom of the gourd mountain. And at this moment, a stone gate appeared at the end of the road. Zuo Long hit the flashlight, but when he saw the concise stone carving pattern on it, he shouted excitedly: "That's right, that's right, it's exactly the same as he said!"
Bai Xiu also went over to take a look, but saw a stone tablet standing next to the door, on which you could vaguely see a few large characters that seemed to be carved with a sword. He discerned for a while, and read it out with some uncertainty: "Yumen Void Valley......"
After pondering this, he was stunned, and secretly thought about it, how did these four words feel a little familiar......
Zuo Long couldn't wait to grope for the door, he knew a little about the doorway, and quickly determined six points on the door, and then marked them with the charcoal he brought, and said to them: "After a while, we will exert force at the same time, remember not to have too much difference between the left and right hands, otherwise the door will be locked from the back door." ”
He demonstrated the strength to the two of them, and took the lead in putting his hands on them. Bai Xiu also followed Zuo Chun and slowly pressed his hands down.
In an instant, a dull loud sound suddenly came from the nearby stone wall. Almost at the same time, Bai Xiu clearly heard the sound of the mechanism being connected.
The three of them held their breath in unison, and as they waited anxiously, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a tomb almost the size of it.
Zuo Long was the first to come back to his senses and said excitedly: "The marks on the map are really correct, it seems that we have hope to enter the innermost." ”
He was careful, and cautiously walked to the entrance of the passage, smelling or touching, and after tinkering for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to the two: "There is no mechanism inside, let's go in." ”
He was still at the forefront, and the three of them walked slowly towards the end of the passage, vigilantly. To be honest, it was much shorter than Bai Xiu imagined, that is, it took about two minutes to walk, and the front was suddenly bright, and there seemed to be a lot of space. What's even more bizarre is that there is a faint connection inside.
It is indeed rare to have light in the tomb, but it is not without this kind of news before, and why the lantern can be bright for thousands of years has always been an unsolved mystery in people's hearts. But now they were not amazed at this, but at the fact that the light was like daylight.
The three of them immediately looked at each other, could it be that there was a different world in this tomb? This realization made them speed up their pace, and soon they passed through the passage.
In an instant, the dazzling sunlight sprinkled over his head, Bai Xiu subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it, and when he got used to the light and saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned for a moment. He finally remembered where he had heard those four words.
At the end of the passage was a small canyon, flanked by dense forests that shone a scorching green in the sun. At the end of the canyon is a glimpse of the towering cliff wall, which extends to both sides, like a pair of arms, tightly enclosing the canyon in its arms.
This place is exactly the same as the white mound. No, it's not that it's exactly the same as Shirazuka, it's that Shiratsuka is exactly the same as it. He still remembered a dream, in which Bai Xingyi said that the white mound was based on a place called Yumen Xugu.
He never expected that, like the white mound, this place that had existed for thousands of years would appear again. And he was vaguely aware of the fact that Bai Xingyi was definitely inextricably linked to that plan, although he didn't know how the two were connected.
The surprise in Zuo Long's heart obviously didn't have to be Bai Xiushao, he muttered: "Here, how is this different from the map, after that passage is obviously the main tomb, could it be that we are in the wrong place......"
He said this, but he quickly denied it, after all, there was only one way down from above, and they could never go wrong.
Bai Xiu's heart moved, and he said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
With that, he walked briskly into the depths of the canyon. Ten minutes later, as he had done ten years earlier, he was standing beneath the cliff again.
Seeing his sudden expression, Zuo Long also reacted, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Xin, do you see any signs?"
Bai Xiu didn't say anything, recalled the situation that day, measured it on the cliff wall with his hand, waited until it reached a certain number, and pressed it hard. In an instant, a stone wall sank a few centimeters into it.
Zuo Long and Zuo Chun glanced at each other, and both showed surprise. The former clapped his hands and smiled: "I really found the right person, it's really 'the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village'!"
He beckoned Zuo Chun to join him in pushing the stone wall half a meter deep, revealing a hole that could be passed through by one person. Looking at the familiar entrance, Bai Xiu was confused in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little bit of what was wrong with people.
Zuo Long still carefully checked and made sure that there was no mechanism, so he let the two of them follow him into the cliff, but the previous stone wall was closed again with a bang.
Bai Xiu came back to her senses, and couldn't help but turn on the flashlight and shine it on the other side. In an instant, the dazzling light returned, and he was instantly stunned in place. Unexpectedly, but reasonable, the scene in front of me is different from the time of Shiratsuka, not two iron doors, but a huge mirror.
Yes, it was seventeen or eighteen meters wide and more than twenty meters high, but it was indeed a mirror. In the narrow light of the flashlight, their figures were reflected in the insignificance.
Zuo Long was shocked for a moment, and hurriedly took out the map and looked at it again, and then said to Bai Xiu with his eyebrows fluttering: "It's back, we actually went back to the original map, this is the barrier I mentioned before, only you cultivators can unlock it." ”
Bai Xiu expected such a difficulty, but he didn't know the trick, so he asked, "Brother Zuo must have come prepared, he should know how to open this magic circle." ”
Zuo Long showed a puzzled look and said, "I won't tell you, I did inquire about one or two, but how to answer it, I don't have any eyebrows...... I consulted an old man before, and he said that this is the Chaos Gate, what Chaos bloodline is needed to open it, you are a cultivator, have you heard of this thing?"
"Chaos Gate......" Bai Xiu frowned and shook his head, "It's also the first time I've heard of it. ”
Zuo Long's face suddenly showed a look of frustration, he thought about it, and asked with some reluctance: "You really haven't heard of what the Chaos Gate is?
Bai Xiu shook his head, seeing that the anxious look in his eyes was condensed, the previous doubts couldn't help but rise up again. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he finally understood what that discordant feeling was—Zuo Long's father and son always gave him the illusion that they were in a hurry to enter this so-called ancient tomb, not for anything, but for the matter itself, and they seemed to be deliberately guiding him into it.
Do they know?
Although they tried their best to hide something, Bai Xiu couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart, could it be that they actually knew who he was for a long time, and even the chance encounter in the gourd house was arranged by them?
But this is too strange, according to the reality of the situation, he is only three years old at this time, and he doesn't even have an exit from Hongmeng Town, who will design him?
At that moment, Bai Xiu suddenly thought of something, no, maybe they were not targeting him at this time, but at him thirty years later. In other words, it was only by chance that he traveled through thousands of years to Daohongyuan Island, but when he came here, someone did something.
So, who could this person be, who did he anticipate all of this thirty years ago and made such an arrangement, or did he also come to the world at this point in time? And the other question is, what did he or they want him to come here for? Open this circle? And then what?
