Chapter 278: Exploring the Waterfall
A loud roar rang in my ears, and I turned my head to look at the waterfall that continued to roar.
After four days of underground travel, we finally came to this vast underground space, where a cliff with a drop of more than 100 meters suddenly formed, and the raging underground river poured down to form a large waterfall of steam.
Two kilometres away from the fall, there is a road carved out of the mountain wall that leads down to the ground below the falls, along which more than 20 stone houses are built on raised stone platforms.
Standing on the boulder, I looked at the small mountain village illuminated by the spirit of light, and a stone tablet at my feet was engraved with the words "Dasheng Village".
The mountain village has been deserted, and there is no trace of recent human activity, and only some utensils of the villagers' life in the early years have been left inside. I picked up a jar and poured it, and it was full of dust, and it seemed that the aborigines had already moved away.
"Young Master Long, what do you think of the situation in this village?"
The Blue Emperor asked me politely with a smile, but the gaze in his eyes was very sharp.
I calmed down my mind swayed by the eyes of the Qing Emperor, tried my best to make myself smile naturally, and then asked the Qing Emperor: "Your old words are really interesting, isn't this what you should tell the younger generation? Your Emperor Heavenly Family is not the same as the other four major families, it suddenly appeared in the world more than 2,000 years ago, didn't it?"
Qingdi looked in the direction of my finger, there were some holes in the stone platform of the mountain wall, and there were many mining tools left on the side of the cave.
"Young Master Long, you are really smart. Seeing the ruins of these caves, I guessed that our Huangtian family was the descendants of Dasheng Village. ”
"Don't praise me, I'm curious why your Emperor Heavenly Family doesn't know the location of this Great Holy Village, since you are a descendant of the Great Holy Village?
The Qing Emperor bowed his head and muttered for a long time in response to my question, and it seemed that he was unwilling to tell the truth. I smiled bitterly at the Qing Emperor and turned around and was about to leave, when a pleasant voice sounded in my ears: "Young Master Long, our ancestors did not leave a record of the specific location of the Great Sage Village after leaving it. When I was in charge of sorting out the relics of my ancestors some time ago, I undoubtedly found a codex left by the first ancestors, and we didn't know that Dasheng Village was in this Huaguo Mountain. ”
Huang Tian Qiao'er's words aroused my interest, and I waited for her to finish talking and immediately asked, "Third Miss, is that relic you sorted out a common thing for your Emperor Tian family?"
Huang Tianqiao'er was stunned for a moment and said: "It's not a common thing, it will only be sorted out every three or five years." Young Master Long, do you think there is a problem?"
Seeing that I was lost in thought when I heard her words, Huang Tianqiao'er asked me alarmedly. I looked up and smiled at Huang Tianqiao'er, and without saying anything, I turned my head to look at the steamy waterfall in the distance.
Looking at the mighty waterfall, I couldn't help but feel: "Life is like a new chess game, who is in charge of black and white." ”
After sighing, I turned my head and smiled at Huang Tian Qiao'er, who had been staring at me, and Huang Tian Qiao'er felt her gaffe, her face flushed, and she turned her head away from me. I couldn't help but find it amusing to admire the shyness of the Emperor, but the Red Emperor's disillusioned black face suddenly appeared in my eyes and startled me a lot.
Feng'er looked at me with a gloating smile, and I was a little embarrassed to turn my head to the side to avoid her gaze. Huang Tianqiao'er happened to be over there, and she was looking at me, and she smiled at me. But immediately, Huang Tianqiao'er felt the cold gaze of Red Emperor, she quickly put away her smile and turned her head to sit upright with a solemn face. The Red Emperor immediately looked at me reluctantly, and I quickly took my eyes back from Huang Tianqiao'er.
Fortunately, Huang Tianqiao'er secretly grabbed her clothes behind when the Red Emperor appeared, otherwise the old woman would have rushed over to have intimate contact with me.
"Young Master Long, don't blame my old woman for being strict. The third lady of my family has already changed relatives with the Yan family, and she will go out of the cabinet to marry the head of the Yan family to make six rooms after she goes back this time. ”
"Alas, isn't it! Grandpa Qing, Miss Huangtian is not yet 18, how old is the head of the Yan family. ”
I deeply agree with Feng'er's complaints, and I can't help but express my own questions: "Miss Huangtiansan, she is a concubine, does the Yan family also marry the concubine to the head of your family?"
"Hmph! That old lewd worm in our family fell in love with the fifth daughter of the head of the Yan family, and exchanged the third lady for someone else!"
Emperor Qing looked at the angry Red Emperor embarrassedly and said with a wry smile: "Sister Hong, don't let this kind of family matter be in front of outsiders." ”
The Red Emperor suddenly showed a look of Qi Rong and hugged Huang Tian Qiao'er into his arms, she gently stroked Huang Tian Qiao'er's hair, and there were old tears on her face. The Blue Emperor let out a long sigh in his eyes, and a soft light rarely appeared in his always cold eyes.
"Sister Qiao'er is so pitiful. ”
Feng'er's eyes when she looked at Huangtian Qiao'er were no longer hostile and cold before, and instead they were sad and pitying. I couldn't help but look at Huang Tianqiao'er sympathetically, buried in the arms of the Red Emperor, she couldn't see her face or hear her cry, but her shoulders were rising and falling from time to time.
Huang Tianqiao'er, who got up from the arms of the Red Emperor, looked as usual, but the tears on her red eyes and face revealed her heart.
Feng'er and the others deliberately kept their distance from Huangtian Qiao'er, but after the Red Emperor hugged Huangtian Qiao'er and cried, they became much more enthusiastic about Huangtian Qiao'er.
After resting for a while in the underground, where we didn't know the sun and moon had changed, we began to explore the back of the waterfall.
"I'll go down first, and you wait for my signal. ”
After Dou Yilan finished speaking, she slid down the mountain wall, aiming for the rocky bulge below. In the middle of the waterfall, about 50 meters from the top of the waterfall, there is a long strip of rocky protrusion that extends to the back of the waterfall.
If the entrance to the burial chamber is indeed hidden behind the waterfall, there is no doubt that this rocky protrusion is the most likely passage.
Soon Dou Yilan descended to the rocky bulge and walked cautiously towards the back of the waterfall. I secretly glanced at Dugu Invincible, his expression was nervous, and his eyes were staring at Dou Yilan.
Dou Yilan got behind the waterfall at once, and we couldn't see any trace of her. However, I know from the investigation that Dou Yilan is walking slowly towards the middle of the waterfall.
In less than two minutes, Dou Yilan came out from behind the waterfall, she waved to us and said loudly: "There is a small artificially carved room in the back, which can only accommodate a few people to stand, and the sect master will let you and the Red Emperor come down." ”
Before I could answer, I felt that the collar was lifted, and Feng'er, who had been paying attention to me, changed her face as soon as she could. I quickly shook my head at Feng'er to signal that I was okay, and then I was lifted by a strong force and fell down.
Freefall is not a good experience for the heart, and I took a deep breath after stepping on the rocky bump on the mountain wall to soothe my beating heart. Without waiting for my heartbeat to recover, I first raised my head and waved my hand to Feng'er who was looking down on me to show that I was okay, and then turned my head and thanked the Red Emperor with a smile: "Thank you, you took me a ride, Red Emperor." ”
I didn't think it was difficult to see Dou Yilan walk, but when I walked on this uneven and slippery rock bump covered with moss, I couldn't help but secretly complain in my heart.
Now I really want to thank the Red Emperor behind me, if it wasn't for her reaching out and holding my collar to help me maintain my balance, I don't know how many times I have been planted in the pool.
Finally, I walked to the small room that Dou Yilan found behind the waterfall, which was manually carved out of the stone wall, and it was about 1 meter square. Illuminated by the Spirit of Light, I took a closer look at the room.
On the wall of the room facing the waterfall is a zigzag pattern of three twin swords intersecting, with a small groove between the hilts of the intersecting swords. There are also two upper and lower rows on the left and right, and there are grooves in the same position.
I pressed my hand against the mountain wall and closed my eyes to feel it, but I didn't feel anything. After glancing at the Red Emperor who had been staring at me beside me, I resolutely took out the red jade that Xiao Jin gave me from my waist.
"Huh?"
Seeing the Red Jade Red Emperor I took out, she let out a sound of surprise, and the energy fluctuations on her body suddenly became unstable. Seeing this, Dou Yilan immediately gathered her energy and stared at the Red Emperor, and I waved my hand at Dou Yilan without looking back, signaling that she didn't need to be nervous. Although the Red Emperor's burning gaze staring at the jade plate in my hand made me feel uncomfortable, I still had something to do.
I tried the jade plaques in my hand one by one in the seven grooves, and sure enough, only the top groove of the zigzag pattern was completely fit the jade plaque in my hand, and the other grooves were a little different in size.
"Red Emperor, do you know how many jade plaques your Emperor Heavenly Family has?"
The Red Emperor frowned and looked at me with a spring breeze on his face, hesitated for a moment and told me: "There is only one piece of purple." ”
After retracting the jade plaque in my hand, I closed my eyes and pressed my hands on the damp mountain wall to release a little magic. There was a magic on the mountain wall that responded to my magic, and I felt important information from the silky magic.
After a while, I opened my eyes and looked at the mountain wall in front of me and laughed, fortunately, my master and ancestor gave me this red jade.
The Red Emperor couldn't help but ask me curiously, "Young Master Long, have you found anything here?"
I grinned at the Red Emperor and said, "What I'm laughing at is that the tomb of the two sword gods is not here, there are rocks behind it, and there is no tomb. It seems that to know where the real graveyard is, I am afraid that you must collect all seven keys. ”
The Red Emperor was not surprised to hear what I said, obviously she already knew these things when I said them.
"Red Emperor, please help me go up when you go back. ”
The Red Emperor agreed, and when she went out, she happily lifted my collar and took me back to the top of the cliff.
The Red Emperor let go of the hand that grabbed me by the collar and glared fiercely at Feng'er, who rushed to my side and looked at her vigilantly, and Feng'er also glared back at the Red Emperor unconvincedly. Just when I was worried about whether the two would have a conflict like this, suddenly the Red Emperor laughed and quipped: "Little girl, your man and my old woman won't eat him, why are you so worried?"
Feng'er was stunned for a moment, and when she reacted later, her face flushed. Feng'er's two warm little hands hugged my right hand tightly, and her face was buried in my chest. The guys around me laughed maliciously one by one, and in response, I generously hugged Feng'er's thin waist.
Huang Tianqiao'er looked at me and Feng'er with envy, and noticed that when I looked at her, she blushed and tilted her head to the side.
"Third Miss, there are some information I want you to help me convey to your family master. ”
Huang Tianqiao'er, who turned her head, saw that I had a serious expression, and she also replied with a straight face: "Young Master Long, please speak." ”
From the information I got from the magic array hidden in the mountain wall of the room behind the waterfall, I roughly calculated it in my mind and said to Huangtian Qiao'er word by word: "From 8 pm to 12 pm on July 7, 6755 in the year of the Divine Calendar, collect all seven keys to open the gate of the Twin Swords Divine Couple's graveyard. If you miss it, you have to wait another 500 years. ”
Trying to parse this information from the magic array hidden in the mountain wall, I am confident that only I can do it in this Sancai Continent. Uncle Xiao, you have indeed found the right person.
