Volume 1 Chapter 22 Unexpected Treasure
Xue Zong was full of questions and was about to ask, but he was pulled back to reality.
"Big brother, big brother, how are you. Xue Zong lay on the leaf leg twice a day, and each time he was in a trance.
Am I having another nightmare, it's too old. ”
However, he felt a lot of comfort when he saw Ye Zi taking care of himself with concern on the side.
Xue Zong reached out and touched Ye Zi's cheek, "I'm fine, don't worry, it's just another dream." These days, I can't tell when I'm awake and when I'm dreaming. Only you, I know it must be true. He smirked.
"Stupid, what stupid things again. Ye Zifang's heart was beating wildly, and she lowered her pink neck in shame.
Xue Zong sat up and found that the surrounding environment had changed. Due to the accidental signing of a contract with the water dragon, the stone cave that was supposed to be pitch black was now full of golden light, and all kinds of charms on the wall were flickering and rhythmic, as if they had life, emitting colorful light.
He stood up, walked to the edge of the stone wall, and put his hands on the stone wall, and the original natural boulder actually cracked a crack.
Countless torches were suddenly lit up on the surrounding stone walls, and I don't know if it was the light of the stone itself, or some ingenious mechanism.
The door opened. Xue Zong said to Ye Zi.
"How did you open the mechanism?" asked Ye Zi in surprise.
"I will also open the mountain, and I will teach you slowly in the future. ”
Xue Zong took Ye Zi's hand and walked into the stone crevice, which was a larger stone room. The stone chamber looks a little rustic and empty. On the stone wall, there are many text murals carved into them. In the center of the stone room, there is a seat, in front of the seat is a rather wide bluestone platform, on the bluestone platform, three stone boxes are neatly placed.
In addition, around the chamber, set up these four holy fires that will never be extinguished, so that the house will be illuminated.
"Where is this?" asked Xue Zong.
"It is likely to be the retreat of the Gonggong clan. ”
"Gonggong's can't hit Zhoushan?"
"Hmm. ”
The land of Middle-earth is very vague about the historical record of that period. It is only recorded that the Gonggong clan competed for the throne with Zhuan Xuan, and after the defeat, he became angry and broke the Buzhou Mountain, causing the flood to fall from the sky, and human civilization was almost destroyed.
Such a major event, only in a few words, leaving many questions, Ye Zi felt that today it is very likely that he will open a dusty history and understand the true idea of history.
Thinking of this, Ye Zi was excited, forgetting his tiredness and pain, and looking for the code to solve the mystery of history.
In the middle of the secret room, a huge stone tablet is written with such a quote in a big seal: To kill the beloved by mistake, the heart is like ashes, the sky teases, and it is even more boring. With the martial arts of his life, he fights to the death of the heroes of the world, how fast.
Born as the people of Li, the ambition is eternal peace. Dominate the wind and clouds, crisscross the world, see the heat and coldness of the world, and realize when you die. The glitz of the world is empty in the end.
Grievances are difficult, right and wrong are difficult to distinguish, long history, and all descendants comment.
Looking back on the past, it is difficult to carry 500 years of time, and I regret and regret not being at the beginning.
Gonggong's book.
It seems that this secret room was indeed the hermitage of the Gonggong clan during his lifetime, and she read the words engraved on the stone tablet to Xue Zong again.
Xue Zong was surprised and said, "Such a big hero and hero, but there are also so many sorrows. Hey, I originally thought he was just an ordinary villain in the textbook, just a text that needed to be memorized. ”
Ye Zi nodded frequently and said, "History is always written by the victors, and I have a gut feeling that the things of the past were by no means as simple as tribal hegemony. Let's take a look at the murals carved around, maybe there will be more clues. ”
Ye Zi had already noticed that the surrounding walls were carved with various rune marks, most of which could not be deciphered, but she had studied the murals and seal scripts quite a lot.
There were three murals carved on the wall, she read them carefully, and finally figured out a rough idea, and said to Xue Zong: "Big brother, didn't you say that you want to dominate the world in the future, you look at the Gonggong clan, the power of one person, and the six masters." ”
"Ahh ”
"Look at this mural, the one who is riding a flying dragon and surrounded by everyone is the Gonggong clan, and around him are one of the five emperors, the Holy Mother Nuwa, the fire god Zhurong, the three saints of the Huoyun Palace, the Shennong clan, the Fuxi clan, and the Xuanyuan Emperor. This is a picture of them fighting. ”
"No, isn't it so powerful?" Xue Zong scratched his head in annoyance, "Even such a powerful person has failed to compete for hegemony, I seem to be out of play, but how do you know so clearly." ”
Ye Zi smiled dumbly, ignored Xue Zong, and continued, "The one on the left, with a code drawn in the middle, and an evil dragon on the right, should be some kind of contract-style ritual. In the end, the Terran warriors subdued the dragon. ”
"The multicolored gems painted on the right should be what Nuwa used to mend the sky. It's just that I don't understand why the dead were resurrected by the light of this gem. This should be the imagination of the Gonggong clan itself. ”
"Why is it imagination?" Xue Zong always felt that in this world, nothing was impossible, so he asked puzzled.
"My father once said that some saints can prolong their lives in various ways, even for thousands of years. But once you die, the spirit and the body are separated, and the body can be reforged, but the spirit cannot be resurrected. Therefore, the science of resurrection in the world is a deceptive thing. ”
Xue Zong smiled, "What if your father is wrong?"
"Hmph, my dad never tells lies, believe it or not!" After saying that, he turned around and went to check the rest of the stone chamber.
After a while, Ye Zi suddenly exclaimed, "Big brother, look what I've found!"
Xue Zong walked over quickly and asked, "What?"
"Poseidon Trident. ”
Xue Zong followed the direction of Ye Zi's finger and looked fixedly, the original stone box on the bluestone platform had already opened the first one, he didn't look at it, and he laughed off his big teeth when he saw it.
In the stone box is a black iron rod, the pattern on which is so grinding that it is not much different from the fire stick used in the countryside, where there is the appearance of a treasure.
But Ye Zi insisted that this was the treasure used by the Gonggong clan on the mural, and Xue Zong had to carry it on his back.
Xue Zong rolled his eyes and had to obey his orders. Which stick is made of pure iron, full of weight, as soon as Xue Zong put it on his back, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Zi carefully opened the second stone box, looking at Ye Zi's attentive appearance, but it was a little cute.
Xue Zong's mind was not on the treasures in the stone box at all, he had no concept of the importance of treasures when he first came to this world, and he was just staring at the leaves and making all kinds of beautiful reveries.
Ye Zi's eyes fell on the open stone box, and he was slightly stunned, and then he happily stretched out his jade hand and took out a yellowed ancient scroll from it.
"What is this?" Xue Zong leaned over curiously and asked.
"Maybe it's a map that records how to find the 'Dragon's Blood Essence', which is an extremely rare dragon elixir, I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be there. I'll take a closer look when I have time. Ye Zi turned the scroll over and said with a smile.
"Dragon Blood Essence?" Xue Zong raised his eyebrows in surprise, in the memory of the God of War, there is indeed this "Dragon Blood Essence", which is the best medicine that people in the world want to get from martial arts practitioners.
Ye Zi has been obsessed with Qimen Mathematics since he was a child, and now that he has seen so many materials available for research, he has long been fascinated. Xue Zong couldn't understand anything, so he naturally wouldn't be attracted.
In addition, the physical strength is a little unbearable, dizzy from hunger, and the stomach is gurgling.
"Yezi, hurry up and open the third stone box to take a look, and then find a way to get out, I'm a little hungry and can't stand it. ”
After being reminded by Xue Zongyi, Ye Zi took into account the current situation. "It's not difficult to get out, you just need to find the mechanism, let's take a look at the third box first. ”
Because the things in the first two boxes were too ordinary, Xue Zong didn't have much hope for the third box, but when the stone box was opened, Xue Zong's pupils shrank suddenly, and finally stared at a red and white flower in the stone box.
The petals of this plant are red and white, the outer periphery is white, the heart of the flower is red, the white petals are covered with dots of ice-like objects, and the fiery red heart is wrapped in some kind of crystal translucent nectar, which is really magical.
A faint vapor of water swirls around this plant, which looks quite fairy.
"Ice Flames. Xue Zong blurted out.
Through the memory of the god of war in Kyushu, Xue Zong had a general understanding of the history of Middle-earth, and in addition, he also learned about many geographical customs and the attributes of treasure herbs.
"You actually know this thing, I saw that Xue Zong was not interested in the 'Dragon Blood Essence' at all, why did you attach so much importance to the 'Ice Flame Flower'?" Ye Zi was surprised.
Xue Zong licked his lips, "This is a good thing, those who practice martial arts will have a great increase in their skills if they eat it, and ordinary people will live longer if they eat it." The god of war was plotted by someone back then, and if it weren't for this flower to save him, he would have died a long time ago. ”
Ye Zi pursed his red lips, frowned slightly, and looked at Xue Zong, "How do you know?"
"Well, once I dreamed, I dreamed that he was an old man. Xue Zong said with a smirk.
Ye Zi shook his head, took out a piece of white silk from the treasure bag, carefully wrapped the "Ice Flame Flower", put it away, and then said: "There are too many things worth studying in this secret room, but I don't have time today, let's look at it again when I have time later." Now it's important to find your way. ”
Ye Zi had been watching for a way out from the time he came in, and finally he noticed that there was a wind in the southeast corner of the chamber from the direction of the Eternal Flame, so he asserted that there must be a way out there.
She was prostrate on the ground, gently tapping the floor, hollow, as she expected.
When they entered, the two of them had used up all the things that started the fire, and she took the flame from the center of the chamber and walked into the endless dark tunnel again.
After a long time, the two were exhausted and finally walked out of the secret room. It feels really good to see the sun again, it's like a new life.
Ye Zi looked back at the Gonggong's secret room, and thought, I must come again when I have time in the future.
Where do the leaves know, the indoor text murals, as soon as they see the air, will be oxidized immediately, and when they come out, the patterns in the secret room have almost disappeared.
After all, Gonggong didn't want others to disturb his purity.
The two of them tidied up and continued to walk towards the border in the direction they were taking. They were overjoyed, thinking that they had finally escaped the pursuit. Unbeknownst to them, a pair of fierce eyes were watching their whereabouts in the depths of the jungle.
"Hehe, they came out after all. A sneer came from the deep forest in the distance.
