(4) Grottoes

When I woke up, it was already the afternoon of the day. When Sun Weifeng got up, he found that Sha Xiaotong's bed was only a neatly folded quilt, and a brand-new demon-sealing sword was leaning against the side of the bed, but Sha Xiaotong was gone.

After Sun Weifeng put on his training uniform, he hurriedly asked the attendant on duty, and the attendant said that after Sha Xiaotong came back with the newly received things, he went to the mourning grotto at the foot of the mountain alone. Mourning grotto, where there are countless dead demon envoys, the whole grotto has been hollowed out several layers, in fact, the whole grotto is a large tomb, enter from the entrance under the mountain, extend many layers upward, once the tomb in the grotto is not enough, then continue to dig up, the whole grotto has a total of 5 layers.

Mourning the grotto, Sun Weifeng sighed, he had never entered the grotto, Sun Weifeng always felt that the place was too dead, and the resentment was too strong, in fact, Sun Weifeng just didn't want to go in, because there was no one he wanted to miss, for Sun Weifeng, there were only people who didn't look at him.

And at this point, Sun Weifeng is obliged to enter the mourning grotto, no matter who Sha Xiaotong is mourning, Sun Weifeng knows that he must show him the appearance of a teacher, no matter how much he doesn't want to take the apprentice. Now that this has happened, this is an opportunity to show your concern for the apprentice by looking for the apprentice in person, and to criticize the apprentice for acting without greeting him, and thus to make the apprentice respect him more.

So, Sun Weifeng began to descend the mountain, and before leaving, he took out a part of the bounty he earned from the wooden box, and took his short sword, preparing to go out to have a good time at the Spring Festival after training his apprentices.

Sun Weifeng ran from the 14,000 steps at trotting speed, and the demon envoys in other floors also came out of the dormitory to prepare the supplies needed to celebrate the Spring Festival, and prepared to have a drink with the demon envoys who slept with him during the festival. There are various training grounds below the 8,000 steps, some training grounds are silent, and some training grounds are from time to time the sound of instructors' insults or whips, and those poor apprentices can't rest even in the Spring Festival, every time Sun Weifeng passes by here, he always feels a chill in his back, and a sense of terror that cannot be seen or touched surrounds everyone who passes by here. Below the 2000th floor, Sun Weifeng wanted to visit Gao Tangqiu as soon as he came back from outside, but at that time, the grandmaster was in a hurry to summon him, so he didn't set aside time to visit his mentor, and now Sha Xiaotong was missing again, and the top priority was to find his apprentice was the first priority.

After descending the towering mountain, Sun Weifeng crossed a path at the boundary of the headquarters, and finally came to the entrance of the grotto.

Above the entrance was a slightly old pavilion, with a statue on each side of the entrance, the statue on the left was a king, and the statue on the right had a slightly strange face and image, as if it had been a person after death.

Now before the entrance, Sun Weifeng was a little hesitant, he had never entered the mourning grotto. Although here is in the headquarters of the Qiankun envoy, there is a high mountain suppression in the feng shui, but even so, this place is still full of grievances, I heard that the demon envoy who has entered the grotto in the past said, the yin qi in the grotto is heavier, although all the urns are engraved with soul suppression runes, but there are still demon envoys who claim to have seen some ghosts.

As for the monsters in the ghost category, they can be subdivided into many types, depending on the torture the ghost suffered during his lifetime, the cause of death, the way he disposed of the corpse, and the environment in which he or she died. Some ghosts have entities, and that kind of monsters are usually handled by the Qiankun Envoy, while some monsters have no entity, but they can attack the living by using resentment, and this kind of monster is to be dealt with by the Shadow Envoy, because the Qiankun Envoy generally does not understand spells and cannot give them any effective damage.

Sun Weifeng has also seen all kinds of ugly warriors in the end, ordinary monsters will not make him feel afraid, even if there is no physical ghost, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop Sun Weifeng's advance, what really makes him hesitate is the large number of dead in the cave, worried that those ghosts will have the faces of their own senior brothers, and how to face their past senior brothers when the time comes.

There is no point in thinking about these things alone, Sun Weifeng walked into the grotto, although it is now the season of winter and spring, but the grotto looks very dry. As soon as Sun Weifeng entered the cave, he felt a warm current coming towards him, and there was a slight hint of the strange smell of tribute corruption in this warm current.

Along a neatly paved cement passageway, Sun Weifeng entered the antechamber of the grotto, which looked a little dilapidated. I saw that the wall on the side of the grotto was carved with the image of a tall warrior, and at the bottom of the relief was a narrow stone platform, in the middle of which was placed an urn, and on each side was placed a magic candle that would never be extinguished, thanks to which the place was filled with light. It is said that the figures here are taken from the earliest founders, these reliefs are vivid and realistic, and each relief shape is different, but some of the reliefs have been cracked because of disrepair, and a few of them have fallen down into a pile of meaningless rubble, and these gravels have not been cleaned, just piled up there and mixed with dust.

Walk through the front hall and be in the middle of the grotto, where there are countless wooden cabinets, which look quite similar to the library, except that these cabinets are not books but urns of different sizes and shapes, and on each cabinet there is a magic candle on both sides, almost half of which have been extinguished because of the lack of magic, making the place look a little dim. This is the first level of the grotto, these urns have been lying here for centuries, the cabinets are full of dust and cobwebs, they look quite terrible, some of the urns are broken, and the ashes are piled up in the same place when they come out of the urns, and if anyone says that this place will be haunted, no one will doubt it.

Sun Weifeng walked along the cave and searched for the elevator, walked around the grotto, only to find that the elevator was on the right side of the entrance, Sun Weifeng sighed helplessly and entered the elevator. The elevator also has a long history, having been renovated and renovated countless times, and it has a large space where it is responsible for carrying the gravel when digging new floors, and surprisingly it is clean and you can see some unknown ornaments carved on the outside.

A crank was placed on the wall in the middle of the elevator, and Sun Weifeng shook it up to the fifth floor. This fifth floor is obviously much newer, with many cabinets in the same place, but only a few urns are placed, and a few narrow skylights have been carved out of the surrounding rock walls to allow sunlight to enter the huge tomb.

A low sobbing sound came from behind a cabinet not far away, so small that ordinary people would not notice it at all, but Sun Weifeng was no longer an ordinary person. Sun Weifeng lightly did not let himself make any perceptible sound, and came to the source of the sound, it turned out that the voice was made by Sha Xiaotong, who was kneeling in front of a cabinet and hiding his face with his hands.

Sun Weifeng was relieved, and just took a step forward, he saw Sha Xiaotong suddenly jump to the side and throw his hand at the same time, a stone flew from the right side of Sun Weifeng's head, the speed was so fast that Sun Weifeng couldn't react, the stone hit the wall and shattered, Sun Weifeng came back to his senses and saw Sha Xiaotong stabbing at him with a short sword......
