I tiptoed to follow my grandfather for more than 300 meters, and I saw that there was a cave on the left side of the secret passage that looked like a natural one. The entrance of the cave resembles the opening mouth of an ancient beast, and there are two stone stalactites hanging upside down, which resemble the fangs of a beast.

The outside of the cave was blazing red, and the ground and the stone walls on both sides of the secret passage were also burned. But inside the cave, there are still ice cubes.

Meng Que hurriedly rushed into the cave and saw Tang Lang's shirtless man leaning against the frozen stone wall to cool off. When he saw Tang Lang, Tang Lang also happened to see him, Tang Lang heaved and whispered; "You're here too? Could it be that those tails have already been removed? ”

"It's not that simple." Meng Que shrugged his shoulders and exhaled a long breath, tormenting in the high temperature for a long time, and suddenly entered the cold space, which was so refreshing.

"What about gorillas? Why didn't he come? Tang Lang glanced back, but he didn't see the figure of the gorilla, so he asked curiously.

Meng Que also sat down, leaned against the frozen stone wall, and briefly recounted his previous experience. Tang Lang nodded and said, "So that's the case, but it's okay, don't look at his impulsive personality, in fact, he is also a strategic person, and those people in the Heavenly Sword Dao should not be able to help him." ”

"I hope so." Meng Que completely pressed his back against the ice wall, paused, raised his head, and began to carefully examine the ice cave.

And seeing that this ice cave is not very large, it is only five meters in diameter, and it is oval. There are a lot of ice cubes hanging from the roof of the ice cave, hanging down like a sharp sword. The four walls of the ice cave are white, and there is a thick layer of ice on the surface. In the center of the ice cave floor, there is a pattern.

The pattern is very weird, and there is a man depicted on the beveled edge, bowing his horse and holding a sword. There is also a man below, shooting birds with arrows; There is also a person sitting on the edge of the well in the upper right, looking into the well; There were two people at the top, and they looked exactly the same, except that one was in front of a strange door and the other was behind a strange door.

In short, this should be a combination of four images.

Meng Que looked at it for a long time, touched his chin, and it was still difficult to guess what these four pictures meant. Tang Lang glanced at him and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, I looked at that strange picture for a long time, and I didn't see what it was." ”

Grandpa suddenly walked over and said, "I want to know what this picture means?" I'll tell you. ”

"Grandpa, do you recognize? Could it be that it was mentioned on the treasure map? Meng Que said curiously.

"Nope." Grandpa frowned, and said in a low voice: "Look here, this person bows down and holds a sword, it should be the appearance of the ancient Six Kingdoms - Su Qin, this style is also spread in many martial arts, called 'Su Qin's back sword'." ”

"Su Qin's back sword?" Tang Lang and Meng Que exhaled in unison, their faces full of doubt.

Grandpa nodded and said, "Yes, I am very familiar with this move, and I can't make a mistake." ”

Su Qin, a famous columnist during the Warring States Period, was as famous as Zhang Yi. According to legend, he was the apprentice of Guiguzi, and his greatest achievement in his life was to unite the six countries of Shandong to resist Qin, and he was so frightened that the powerful Western Qin did not dare to send a letter to Guguan for fifteen years. Later generations admired his achievements, and then created a martial arts style, which was called "Su Qin's back sword", taking the meaning of vertical and horizontal.

"What about the picture at the bottom? What do you mean? Tang Lang tilted his head and looked at it, and said, "It looks like someone is shooting a bird, that bird looks really evil, could it be 'Houyi Shooting the Sun'?" ”

Grandpa smiled and said, "Neither right nor right." ”

"How can it be both right and wrong?" Tang Lang didn't know why.

Grandpa pointed to the figure and said, "You look at the person, what is on his head?" ”

"Horns." Tang Lang replied.

Grandpa said: "Is there any mention in the ancient books that Hou Yi is a person with horns?" ”

"Not really." Tang Lang touched his bald head, and it seemed that neither TV nor books mentioned that Hou Yi was a person with long horns. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" mentions that Hou Yi was the sixth monarch of a "poor country", and was later killed by his retainer 'Han Xun', just an ordinary person with superb archery skills.

Grandpa exhaled and said, "This is not the 'Houyi Shooting the Sun Map', but the 'Yaksha Shooting the Moon Map', he is not shooting a bird, but an ancient jade toad." ”

"Nakshatra?" Tang Lang and Meng Que were shocked at the same time.

"This picture is rare, and I just saw it in an ancient book by chance." Grandpa explained.

"What about the picture on the left?" Tang Lang pointed to the picture of a person sitting by the well and asked.

Grandpa looked at it, shook his head and said, "I don't know what this picture means, sitting by the well, could it be sitting in the well and watching the sky?" ”

Meng Que pointed to the top picture and asked, "What about the top picture?" Do you recognize Grandpa? ”

"I don't recognize it." Grandpa said decisively.

Meng Que touched his chin and muttered, "One 'Su Qin Back Sword', one 'Yaksha Shooting the Moon', and two other strange paintings that I don't recognize, could this be a sign or illustration?" ”

Grandpa frowned, sighed, and said, "At this moment, don't worry about these miscellaneous things for now, we have to find a way, either go directly to the circuit, or venture into the Yanlong Cave to see what is going on, and see if we can get any treasures." After all, time waits for no one, and if the Qilin wakes up, I'm afraid that the three of us won't be able to leave here. ”

Tang Lang nodded and said: "That unicorn is very huge, I don't know how many times bigger than Jairus, it's about the same as an adult elephant, just now I went in with my grandfather, fortunately, I saw it at a glance, otherwise, my life is definitely over." ”

The unicorn is an ownerless beast, and so many years have passed. If it were still in its infancy, it might be able to be easily subdued, but unfortunately it is now an adult, or even in the prime of life, and if it wants to be subjugated again, I am afraid that everyone who has come to this ancient vault today will not be able to handle it if they join forces.

After all, the legendary unicorn, but everywhere it passes, there are landslides, ground cracks, tsunamis, and tides.

Such a terrifying beast is entrenched here, trying to take something under its nose? When you think about it, you don't think it's very likely.

On the one hand, Meng Que didn't want to take risks; But on the other hand, if he didn't take risks, he didn't feel very reconciled. It took so much effort for me to get here, and if I left empty-handed without taking anything, I would be too sorry for the people and the party.

"Grandpa, why don't I go into the Yanlong Cave alone?" Meng Que suddenly proposed.

Grandpa frowned, shook his head in a deep voice and said, "No, if you want to go, let's go together, and we can take care of it." I'm really not at ease if you're going alone. ”

"But ......" Meng Que was worried that if he went to Yanlong Cave and encountered problems, he didn't think that his grandfather would be in any danger.

"Don't do it, there are two choices at the moment, one is to go together and get out of here as soon as possible; The second is that the three of us venture in to see it together, and if there is a treasure that can be taken, we will take the opportunity to take it. Of course, if the unicorn wakes up, all three of us could be buried in it. Grandpa said excitedly, this is a gamble, and it is a big gamble. Gambling the lives of three people with treasures.

The first thing to do in this Ancient Vault is to find out if there is anything or a solution that can cure Jairus. If nothing is found, then there is no hope for Jairus's recovery. If Jianwei can't recover, Meng can't rise.

Therefore, the price of this gamble is not too great. The adventurous move is also quite a bit of a ruin.

After thinking about it, Meng Que was still more inclined to the second option, so he glanced at Tang Lang and wanted to ask him what he thought.

Tang Lang saw Meng Que looking over, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Don't look at me, I don't care, if you want to take risks, of course I will accompany you to the end." ”

Meng Que patted him on the shoulder, nodded heavily, and then looked at his grandfather.

Grandpa sighed. said: "I'm old, and the revival of the Meng family will depend on you in the future, the cold wind of the years is urging people to grow old, even if I live a long life, I can't help you for many years." Take the risk or not, this time it's up to you. ”

Grandpa's words were tantamount to a thousand catties of burden, which made Meng Que almost out of breath.

In the past, no matter what happened, my grandfather commanded me, and I was much less stressed. Now that grandpa has handed over the choice to himself, not only makes it difficult for him to adapt for a while, but also a little dazed and timid.

is timid, not because he is afraid of death, but because he is afraid of affecting his grandfather and Tang Lang.

Tang Lang suddenly put one hand on Meng Que's shoulder and said, "If you don't risk a word, let's say it, don't waste any more time." If it continues to delay, I'm worried that something might happen to the gorilla. ”

Hearing this, Meng Que gritted his teeth and said in his heart: "Yes, the gorilla is now fighting against more than 20 people in the Heavenly Sword Dao, if I don't make a choice, he will be under great pressure alone." ”

Looking at the resoluteness on the faces of Grandpa and Tang Lang, Meng Que suddenly made up his mind and said, "Let's go, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, you will come, if you don't bring something to go, wouldn't it be a big loss?" ”

Tang Lang smiled and said, "It makes sense, in fact, I think so too." ”

Grandpa didn't speak, just nodded silently, and after reaching an agreement, he took the lead and walked out of the ice cave. Meng Que followed, looked back out of the ice cave, and saw two words faintly engraved on the stone wall. Although these two words are also Xiaoxiao, he recognizes them as the word "cold moon".

"There is the 'Yanlong Cave' in front and the 'Cold Moon Cave' in the back, the two extremes of heat and cold, I really don't know how it was formed." Meng Que was full of doubts.

A little further on, there were white bones on the ground. Counting down, there are three in total. Because of the age, and the temperature in it is also high, the clothes, hair, and other things on the three dead people have long since turned into nothingness, and the bones are also pitch black, and they will turn into powder when they are touched casually.

But the appearance of the death of these three people was a little strange, as if they were killed by cannibalism———— one of them stabbed the other in the chest with a sword, and another attacked the person in front of him from behind. It stands to reason that in this situation, there should be only two deaths, and I don't know why the sneak attacker also died here.

Each of the three of them held a sword in his hand, and the appearance of the sword was very peculiar. One is white, one is red, and the last one is purple.

Seeing these three swords with different and strange appearances, Meng Que suddenly thought of something, motioned for Grandpa and Tang Lang to stop, pointed to the three skeletons, and said: "These three skeletons seem to be the three ancestors of the fallen humanity, hell path, and Shura Dao among the six great sword paths of the K organization in the past, and the secret of the fall of these three major sword paths, even Xuan Ying doesn't know, it turns out that they all died here." ”
