Chapter 437: The Origin of the Dao Gate
Jiang Lai was taken aback, he didn't expect that the cultivation method possessed by the Xueyin clan also came from elsewhere.
"You come with me. ”
Under the leadership of Xueyin, Jiang Lai walked straight ahead. Not long after, the two stopped in a secret room in the basement.
As the door of the chamber opened, a statue of pure gold immediately appeared in front of his eyes.
He looked at it a few times, the statue was supposed to be made in a one-to-one ratio, it was an old man, with a long beard, a slightly bloated figure, and wearing a luxurious costume.
"Xueyin, who is this person?" Jiang Lai asked, "Could it be the patriarch of your clan?"
"No, there was this old man when we found the cheats in the cave, but he was already dead. However, although he died, his body remained intact and showed no signs of decomposition. Our people thought of him as the embodiment of 'God', so they collected his body and wrapped it in pure gold to make this statue. ”
After listening to his story, Jiang Lai couldn't hide the shock in his heart. He had always thought that this tribe was the birthplace of everything, but he never expected that the history of the Daomen was far longer than he imagined.
Could it be that there is a history in front of Xueyin's tribe?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't want to delve into those things that were too long, after all, there was no way to find out all this.
As he pondered, he turned his gaze to a beautiful box in the secret room. The box was placed on an offering table, and there were some offerings next to it, and it was able to be used for such treatment, which means that the contents of the box were not simple.
"Xueyin, what's in there?"
"That's what we found from him when we were carrying his body. Because it was his belongings, we didn't dare to use it at will, so we enshrined it. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Lai couldn't help but be interested, and asked, "Can I take a look?" After speaking, he felt that his words were a little presumptuous, and quickly changed his words, "Don't worry, I'm just looking, and I don't mean anything else." ”
"It's okay, you can watch it if you want, it's not that important to us anymore. And even if you want to take it, it doesn't matter, I can't stop you anyway. When we become spirits, none of it matters to us. ”
From Xueyin's words, Jiang Lai could hear her helplessness and compassion. At that moment, he walked over to the offering table and carefully opened the delicate box.
Suddenly, I saw a strange thing in the box, at first glance, it seemed to be a bracelet, but if it was a bracelet, it would be too small, let alone a man, and even a woman could not wear it.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang glanced at Xueyin on the side, then picked up the thing and put it in his hand to look at it carefully.
There were four hollow grooves on the surface of the bracelet, which were supposed to be inlaid with something, but now there are none.
"When we found it, it was gone. ”
Hearing Xueyin's explanation, Jiang Lai asked curiously, "What is the purpose of this thing?"
"I don't know because no one has ever used it. I've heard people in the clan say that it seems to need a key to open it, otherwise it can't be used, but I don't know what they call a 'key'. ”
"That ......"
Jiang Lai was about to ask a question, but as soon as he said it, he heard a faint scream from outside.
His heart sank, "Someone's coming!"
Before he had time to think about it, he tapped his tiptoes and quickly galloped towards the basement. Not long after I arrived, I didn't expect others to come so quickly.
Coming out of the Hall of Eternal Life, Jiang Lai swept his gaze, and immediately saw two women running out of the attic not far away, one by one panicked, as if they were frightened, and their faces turned pale.
Seeing the appearance of the two of them clearly, Jiang Lai's face couldn't help but collapse, and a cold light flashed in his inky black eyes.
"Who is it?"
Hearing Xueyin's voice coming from behind him, Jiang Lai said without looking back: "It's okay, it's someone I know, let me deal with it." ”
With that, he strode over.
At this moment, Liu Chuxue and Liu Chuqing also noticed Jiang Lai's appearance, as if they had seen a savior, and hurriedly rushed to him, "Jiang Lai, you came just in time, save us, someone wants to kill us." ”
Looking at Liu Chuxue's anxious face, Jiang Lai said in a deep voice: "Why are you here, didn't I tell you to leave?"
Faced with his questioning, Liu Chuxue was dumbfounded for a while, not knowing how to answer.
"Jiang Lai, I'm sorry, we ......" Liu Chuqing hesitated, and was interrupted by Jiang Lai ruthlessly in the middle of speaking, "I don't want to hear you explain, this place is too dangerous, you better leave quickly." Of course, if you don't listen to your friends and have to stay, I can't do anything, but if something happens, I'm not responsible. ”
Watching Jiang Lai walk away without looking back, Liu Chuqing bit her thin lip lightly, her eyes were a little complicated, she didn't want to break up with Jiang Lai, if she hadn't been able to resist her sister just now, she wouldn't have come here.
"Sister, you just listen to Jiang Lai's persuasion, let's go. ”
Liu Chuxue gritted her teeth, feeling a little unwilling, but when she thought of Jiang Lai's indifferent eyes, she was a little afraid. Now is different from the past, the man in front of her is no longer a person she can offend, not only can she not be offended, but she also has to stutter everywhere, otherwise, people can destroy her with one finger.
Thinking of this, she nodded, then turned and walked back and forth.
It wasn't long before the two of them returned the same way and returned to the stone chamber again. Looking at Liu Chuxue, who was standing still, Liu Chuqing couldn't help but ask, "Sister, what's wrong?"
The latter was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Sister, are you willing to go back like this?"
"What's so unwilling, Jiang Lai is also for our safety, you saw it just now, that place is very weird, if it weren't for Jiang Lai, we might have encountered danger. ”
"Okay!" Liu Chuxue said impatiently: "Don't always speak for him, sister, we should think for ourselves, he Jianglai must have gained a lot of benefits when he discovered that place alone, but he is unwilling to share it with us, is this what a friend should do?"
Hearing this, Liu Chuqing frowned slightly and said, "Sister, what do you want to do? Listen to my advice, don't do anything stupid." ”
I don't know what Liu Chuxue thought, a faint sneer suddenly appeared on both sides of her lips, "Don't worry, he is unkind, but I won't be unjust, I just want to fight for something for myself." ”
With that, she glanced at the passage next to her, and then walked over.
