The road in the cave is difficult to walk, sometimes hitting steep rock walls, and sometimes encountering huge bottomless cracks. Every time he walked a little further, Master Mingzong would stop, reach forward, and put a wisp of air under his nose to smell it.

He told Zheng Qiu that this was a technique for exploring unknown caves, and with this method, there would be no situation where he would step into the miasma area, not be able to get out, and lose his life.

After going around the cave for a long time, Zheng Qiu was completely disoriented, there were stalactites in front and back, and they all looked the same. However, Master Ming Zong noticed something, he squatted on the ground, picked up a piece of rubble and examined it carefully.

The shape of the gravel is extremely irregular, but there is a small plane with potholes, similar to the long stone steps in a swamp, and it is supposed to be the mark of a chisel strike, presumably the building where the roulette wheel was stored nearby. He stood up, raised the brightness of the halo, and continued to walk in with his apprentice.

After climbing over a two-zhang high stone wall, the karst cave in front of you suddenly became open, and when you stepped into it, you could see the rubble scattered everywhere.

Master Mingzong made his other hand also glow, and under the pale yellow light, there were broken walls everywhere he looked. Some of the walls and stone pillars are deeply embedded in the cave walls and blend in with the rock of the cave walls.

It's a building, and it's finally appeared! Master Mingzong was excited, and pulled Zheng Qiu forward. The further you go, the higher the top of the cave, and after a few steps, a large triangular rock appears in front of the halo.

This boulder is at least ten zhang long and four zhang high, and Zheng Qiu is not as big as the flowers and plants on it. There are still many broken walls and pillars behind the boulder, which are collapsed ruins, Master Ming Zong turned back and forth, and decided that this is the roof of the front of the building, since it is the roof, the roulette should be hidden in the ruins behind the boulder.

Bypassing the boulder, Master Ming Zong led Zheng Qiu to climb the ruins. The rubble of the ruins is mixed with a large number of stalactites, which should have fallen from the roof of the cave.

The surface area of the gravel has a thick layer of stone powder, and when you touch it lightly, a large piece of it will fall off. Master Ming Zong turned over the gravel on the surface and looked down to see that the bottom was not as weathered as severely, and the roulette wheel might be well preserved.

"Apprentice, retreat behind the roof. ”

"Huh? What roof?"

"It's that triangular boulder, hide behind it, don't come out. ”

When Zheng Qiu hid, Master Ming Zong swayed his qi and lifted the gravel on the ruins. Boom, boom, a large piece of gravel mixed with stone powder was swept to both sides of the cave, and the ruins of the broken wall below were revealed.

There were still clear reliefs on the stones, and when he looked closely, he found nothing of value, and had to dig down.

This time, Master Mingzong was quite careful, he no longer swayed his qi, but maintained his qi in his hands, and pushed the stones away one by one with his palms.

When he lifted the stone pillar, a toppled stone tablet jumped into his eyes, and the stone tablet was engraved with round words, exactly the same as the stone tablet seen in the Wentian Pavilion. Master Ming Zong picked up the stele and carefully placed it where Zheng Qiu was hiding, and then he returned to his place and dug down at an accelerated pace.

Soon, his hand touched a stone slab, strangely, the slate seemed to be unable to lift up, and the strength poured into his arm increased, and the slate still did not move.

Could it be that somewhere's stuck? Master Mingzong squatted down and looked along the stone slabs, on the left, on the right, and directly in front, under the ruins in these directions, the stone slabs were extended. This slab can't be the floor of this building, right?

Thinking of this, Master Ming Zong changed direction and began to clean the stones in front and on the left and right sides. As the ruins were cleared up little by little, the stone slab gradually revealed its true face, and Master Mingzong's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and his face showed an excited expression.

The outer edge of the slab is curved, and it is an extremely large plate, which is engraved with strange lines, which become denser the closer to the center, and these lines resemble both words and symbols.

There are obvious fractures on the large stone plates, which are embedded with rusty metal that connect the broken stone plates together. The stone tablet of the Wentian Pavilion reads, "Pick up the pieces and repair, and the pillars become a hall", indicating that the roulette wheel has been repaired, and the large stone plate in front of you has been repaired.

Master Mingzong took a few steps back and raised his hands high, letting the light shine farther. Only a quarter of the stone plate was excavated, not even a semicircle, but the excavated part was six zhang wide, and if the stone plate was completely excavated, it would be a small square.

Looking at the piled stones, Master Ming Zong's heart was horizontal, and he continued to dig, and he found the roulette wheel, how could he be stopped by this difficulty.

Zheng Qiu waited, waited, ate a meal of herbs when he was hungry, leaned on the stone and slept sleepily, dozed off three times repeatedly, and the master was still digging on the ruins. However, there are more and more stone tablets placed around Zheng Qiu, and there are already twelve of them, all of which were dug up by the master from the ruins.

Zheng Qiu stood up and went around the boulder roof to see the master.

At this time, the cleaning of the ruins was nearing the end, Master Mingzong was covered with stone powder, and the whole person turned gray, sweat and stone powder mixed together, forming hard small stone flakes, which continued to fall down with the movement.

Similar to Master Mingzhong's estimate, this stone roulette is indeed very large, and the diameter should reach more than ten zhang. A small part of the roulette is embedded in the stone wall of the cave, and the thick rock of the stone wall obscures the lines on the disk.

The pattern in the center of the wheel is in the shape of a six-pointed star, with six wavy lines radiating along each of the six sharp corners. The lines are engraved with large sections of text around them, tightly intertwined.

These words are twisted and twisted, like earthworms, Master Mingzong has never seen them in any classics, and can only be casually called earthworm texts.

Master Ming Zong also knows a little about the formation, judging from the direction of the lines on the stone plate, the earthworm text plays a vital role in the operation of the stone plate, but he doesn't know a word, and he is completely blind.

By the way, there must be a writing on those stone tablets, and since the stone tablets and the stone plates are placed in the same building, they must be related to each other. Master Ming Zong held the halo and sat in front of the twelve stone tablets to study slowly. As he read, he took out the pill from the bag on the inside of his clothes and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zheng Qiu's action of eating the pill was seen by Zheng Qiu, and he asked worriedly: "Master, why did you take the pill, are you not feeling well?" Why don't we go back, go back to the post station." ”

Master Mingzong shook his head and refused: "It's okay, it's just that moving the stones for a long time consumes a lot of energy, so you can use the pill to recover." ”

After speaking, the master stopped talking to Zheng Qiu and buried himself in studying the content on the stone tablet. The words on these steles are exactly the same as those on the stele of Wentian Pavilion, and they were written by the same person.

On one of the steles, the signature appeared, the wooden plum blossom. Obviously, this wood plum is not its real name.

The words and phrases on the stone tablet are different from those of Wentian Pavilion, they are not disturbed, and each paragraph records an incident that happened. But the sequence of things is out of order, and people can't find the key content.

After watching for a long time, Master Mingzong finally found the first thing that happened: the sky was very abnormal, it was daytime, and there were no dark clouds in the sky...... It was dark, and the sun didn't seem to reach the ground...... It's a roulette wheel, it falls from the sky, and there are words on it on the wheel, and we put it away and take it away......
