Chapter 434: Mysterious Secret Path
At this moment, in the stone room, Jiang Lai was wandering around alone, inspecting the stone bricks one by one. Along the way, he figured out the layout of the place.
The people who built this place in the first place were very cunning, so the roads that can be seen on the surface are fake, and they will only expose you to danger, and the real passage should be hidden in the dark, where the naked eye cannot see.
So, he wanted to see if it was as he guessed.
Although the space of the entire stone chamber is not large, there are thousands of stone bricks, and it is very time-consuming to find. It took more than half an hour, and from time to time I saw people passing by the stone room, and those people glanced at Jiang Lai, didn't care, and walked directly to the deep passage.
It didn't take long for Jiang Lai, who had been patiently searching, to finally have a harvest. In one corner of the stone chamber, he noticed a hollow sound coming from behind several stone bricks, indicating that there should be a hidden passage behind it.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one came, Jiang Lai directly pulled off the stone bricks with his hands. Sure enough, as he expected, there was a very narrow passage behind this.
After entering the secret passage, he was worried that someone would follow him, so he put the stone brick back and blocked the entrance to the secret passage. However, what he didn't expect was that not long after he left, Liu Chuxue pulled Liu Chuqing and walked briskly from the passage.
"Sister, I'll just say it, there will definitely be something to gain from following Jiang Lai. Originally, she wanted to catch up with the Wu family's group, but when she passed by the stone room, she saw Jiang Lai banging on the stone bricks, as if she was looking for something. Out of curiosity, she didn't show up, but hid in the passage, secretly watching his actions, but she didn't expect to be bumped into her.
"Sister, isn't this okay?" Liu Chuxue was a little worried, "If I let Jiang Lai know, I'm afraid he will ......"
"Don't worry, he doesn't know that we follow him, even if he finds out, we are friends, he will not poison us. With that, Liu Chuxue broke the stone bricks and jumped directly in.
At this time, Jiang Lai walked straight ahead along the dark road, about twenty meters ahead, only to see that the surrounding side walls were a little damp, and there was a cool breeze blowing in from the front, and the exit should be not far away.
As expected, after walking not far, Jiang Lai's eyes suddenly opened up, and a towering pagoda appeared in his sight.
The five-storey pagoda has long since become dilapidated, perhaps due to its age, with many doors and windows falling off, and the surrounding area is in shambles.
Jiang Lai looked around, he should be the first person to come here, and there was no trace of anyone else nearby. Looking at the pagoda in front of him, which was probably thousands of years old, he took a deep breath and walked inside.
Although he has little interest in the forbidden powers, he is curious about the blank history.
After entering the first floor of the pagoda, I saw that there were many reliefs carved on the wall, but unfortunately the age is too long, the content is incomplete, and it is the same as not seeing, there is no valuable information at all.
At that moment, Jiang Lai walked straight to the upper floor of the pagoda.
Along the way, most of what I saw were some documentary materials, and if I guessed correctly, this pagoda should be a place dedicated to storing materials.
Jiang Lai walked and looked, however, most of these documents are obscure, and the content recorded on them is mainly based on the culture of that period, and there are few materials related to Taoism.
Having said that, through these documents, Jiang Lai finally has a general understanding of that blank history.
If he hadn't seen these materials with his own eyes, I'm afraid even Jiang Lai would not have thought that thousands of years ago, there was a glorious era. It is no exaggeration to say that if that era had not been destroyed, China would have been at least hundreds of years ahead of the world.
It's a pity, because of the consequences of searching for the forbidden power, the entire era was ruined and annihilated in the torrent of history, without even a trace.
Before he knew it, more than an hour had passed, and Jiang Lai was immersed in those documents, as if he had forgotten the existence of time. Finally, he reached the top floor of the pagoda, and as soon as he entered, his eyes lit up.
Unlike the materials stored below, the materials placed on this floor are all recorded in sheepskins, and are very well preserved and almost undamaged. He picked up one of the materials casually, flipped through it a few times, and saw that all the information recorded on it was about the Daomen.
"That's a good thing. He muttered to himself, but when he saw the parchment full of parchment, he pondered for a moment, and then included all the documents in the Yunlan Ring.
There are too many materials, and he will definitely not be able to read them for a while, and he doesn't have much time to delay now, he must find Li Hongbei and Qiu Yannan as soon as possible, even if they have suffered misfortune, he must see their corpses.
Out of the pagoda, Jiang Lai looked around and found that there was a very spacious passage in front of him. He couldn't help but be a little curious, this passage was ten meters wide, I don't know why the ancients bothered to dig out such a wide passage, could it be that those people had something huge to transport?
Thinking of this, he became intrigued by what was at the end of the passage and immediately quickened his pace.
The passage seemed to be very long, and after walking for a few minutes, Jiang Lai didn't see where the end was. However, along the way, he found a lot of abandoned carts and some wooden utensils, all of which were very old.
Through these utensils, it is enough to prove that the civilization of that era has reached a very high height.
After walking nearly 100 meters, Jiang Lai finally saw a glimmer of light, and there was a cool breeze blowing from Xi Xi. At that moment, he was on tiptoe, his body was like electricity, and he rushed straight over.
As the light in front of him became more and more intense, the wind whistled non-stop, and everything around became clear.
Suddenly, Jiang Lai stopped and looked up, his face unable to hide his shock.
"This ......" he opened his mouth, but his throat felt as if it was blocked, and he couldn't say a word. All this in front of him has completely exceeded his imagination.
After being stunned for a few minutes, Jiang Lai woke up, looking at everything in front of him incredulously, and his breathing gradually became short.
"This is definitely the biggest discovery ever. ”
He muttered to himself, unable to contain his impulses. Although he didn't care about the power of the taboo, he was not interested at all. However, all this in front of him made him unable to take his eyes off. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have felt like a dream.
After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly calmed down his mood, his gaze turned to the top, and his eyes once again revealed a hint of amazement, deeply impressed by the wisdom of the ancients.
