Chapter 419: Three Feet Up
Fang Shi and Xia Yuxin took two steps when they heard this, and looked at the position where the strong flashlight in Lou Jingzhong's hand was pointing, five or six meters in front of him, there was a calf-high threshold blocking the entire cave, and then looking at the door, there was no such thing as a door frame.
After carefully observing for a while, to make sure that there was no insect activity, Lou Jingzhong slowly moved forward, stood on the edge of the threshold and observed on the other side of the threshold, and knocked on the ground with the wooden stick in his hand to make sure that there were no traps.
"The thresholds are all at the door, which means that this is already the scope of the ancestral hall."
Lou Jingzhong's statement should be correct, but
"We didn't have any traps all the way here, isn't that too easy?"
Xia Yuxin asked with some suspicion, Fang Shi thought for a moment and said, "There are those insects, do you think it is necessary to get other mechanisms?" Besides, this is just an ancestral hall, not a treasure, you have also seen the Li family's family motto, and even these insects are just a product of chance, so there is no mechanism as it should be. ”
Lou Jingzhong nodded: "It makes sense, but it's better to be careful." ”
It was still Lou Jingzhong who took the lead, and the three of them continued to move forward, as they went deeper, the smell in the cave became more and more unpleasant, and a lot of wormhole holes could be seen in the corners of the cave, and the air was mixed with the smell of sulfur, it seemed that there was indeed a hot spring underground, but the hot spring did not appear in this cave.
After walking a short distance, I finally saw a gate, but this gate only had a door frame and no door leaf, which was actually a cave carved out of the cave.
This cave is not the end of the cave, but only a side hole in the middle of the cave. The cave continues to stretch forward. Although Fang Shi was also curious about what would be in the depths of this cave. But the main purpose of this time is the thing in the Li family ancestral hall, and the rest should not be extraneous.
Lou Jingzhong used a flashlight to shine on the door frame of the gate, and there were words on both sides of the door frame, "Accumulate virtue and blessing for future generations, only thrift and diligence can prosper the family", and the horizontal batch is "hard work".
"It's a smart family."
Lou Jingzhong sighed, in fact, every family that can last for hundreds or thousands of years. All of them have extremely valuable spiritual wealth, which is far more important than any jewelry field.
Fang Shi and Xia Yuxin both nodded in agreement, the ancestors of the Li family are indeed very smart, and they know what is the most precious thing for future generations, but unfortunately, whether future generations can understand and persist is another matter.
"Look"
Lou Jingzhong's flashlight shone deep in the front of the door frame, which was a multi-layered stone niche, which was full of tablets, and there was a stone table under the stone niche, and a large incense burner on top. Next to the censer was a copper box, about half a meter long and thirty or forty centimeters high.
Xia Yuxin's eyes lit up. Although she was not greedy for money, she was still very excited to finally see the goal of this expedition after all the hardships.
Lou Jingzhong was also very excited, and he was about to walk inside, but Fang Shi hurriedly reached out and grabbed his backpack.
"Don't worry, see it clearly."
Lou Jingzhong was suddenly a little ashamed, and laughed dryly, Xia Yuxin also secretly pursed her lips, what is this, she was stunned by greed and burning.
The flashlights of the three people were turned on, and three bright beams of light swept back and forth in the pitch-black cavern, and in the bright light, everything in the cave was exposed to everyone's eyes except for the floating dust.
"Three feet up?"
Xia Yuxin looked at the four big characters engraved on the top of the stone niche, is this to educate his descendants to have a sense of awe? Or maybe something else?
Fang Shi also looked at this stone plaque with great concern, and Xia Yuxin quickly noticed Fang Shi's abnormality: "Is there something wrong with this stone plaque?" ”
"Feel the breath of this place carefully."
Xia Yuxin closed her eyes and felt it, then took out her Luo Geng and looked at it for a while, and said with some confusion: "This is a little strange, why is the breath not gathered in the stone niche, but condensed on it?" ”
"Because that stone plaque is not ordinary, it is a magic weapon, a magic weapon that collects the power of wishes, don't you think those words are incompatible with the usual tone here?"
"It's from that point, the ancestors of the Li family in front of me all advocated self-reliance and self-improvement, and there was a god here who suddenly raised his head and raised his head, there are some."
"Hehe, I didn't mean that, I said that the font on it, this is Jin Wen, and the outside is Han Li."
Xia Yuxin was embarrassed, she really didn't think about this, although she also felt a little disobedient when she saw this golden plaque, but she didn't think about the difference in words.
"So it's an antiquity?"
"Yes, there is really a treasure, this plaque is extremely valuable."
Lou Jingzhong said and wanted to raise his feet and take a step, but Fang Shi grabbed him again: "You have been affected by the power of the will here, and you have silently recited the mantra of purifying your heart in your heart. ”
Lou Jingzhong was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in shame, closed his eyes and recited the heart-clearing mantra calmly, but not silently, but out loud.
Xia Yuxin also took a breath lightly, silently feeling her Yuan Shen, and it didn't seem to be affected.
Fang Shi turned his head to Xia Yuxin and said, "The light is shining on the shrine, I'll take pictures." ”
"Oh, what about the stone plaque?"
"We also want to take pictures, we won't move this thing, but we have to tell the people of Li Jiazhai what is here, if Longhu Mountain wants to get rid of this stone plaque in the future, what benefits should be given to the Li family."
"It's cheap."
Fang Shi could hear the sour breath in Xia Yuxin's mouth, and said with a smile: "The Qingcheng Mountain family has a great cause, and there is still no such magic weapon?" The last time you got Pengcheng's magic weapon, it wouldn't be worse than this. ”
"Hey, hey, there's not too much good stuff."
"Isn't it too greedy?"
"Cut!"
"Greed harms people, but it is endless." Lou Jingzhong suddenly interjected.
Xia Yuxin rolled her eyes and stopped talking, just saying, these two men are really boring, Fang Shi is especially hateful, I don't know who Lu Dao is who always calculates other people's good things, and she knows the secret of the Wolf God's Pupil.
Fang Shi glanced at Xia Yuxin, who was puffing out, and the flashlight shone on the corner of the grotto, where the large and small holes were like honeycombs, Fang Shi frowned, and then shone towards the cave on the other side, where there was still bottomless, making people feel uneasy.
Fang Shi shook his head and said, "Let's go in." ”
"Wait, let me go first."
Lou Jingzhong was very resolute, Fang Shi didn't insist, he took half a step back and let Lou Jingzhong go in first, Lou Jingzhong still used the wooden stick in his hand to beat on the ground first, making sure that the ground was all on the ground before stepping in.
Fang Shi and Xia Yuxin then entered, they didn't walk around, they just followed behind Lou Jingzhong, the grotto was not very deep, and after twenty or thirty steps, they were already standing in front of the stone table.
Lou Jingzhong stretched out a wooden staff and poked the copper box, which made a low thudding sound, and it still looked heavy.
After making sure that there were no traps around, Lou Jingzhong put the energy storage lamp on the stone table, untied his backpack, and took out the incense candle from it.
Xia Yuxin looked at the incense burner on the stone table curiously, there are several dragons cast on the incense burner, it looks very exquisite, the front of the incense burner has a 'Li' character, which is specially cast as an ancestral sacrifice vessel, although it is very exquisite, but because of the design problem, it has not become a magic weapon, but on the tablets in the stone niche, there seems to be some faint breath entanglement.
Lou Jingzhong lit the incense candle to dispel the fishy smell in the grotto, respectfully put on the incense, and stood sideways again, letting Fang Shi and Xia Yuxin also incense the ancestors of the Li family.
Fang Shi sighed: "If you have time, you should find someone to recite the blessing mantra and resolve the resentment here." ”
Lou Jingzhong nodded and said, "Let's talk about it when we have a chance, if Longhu Mountain sees this stone plaque, it is up to them to do it." ”
Fang Shi nodded, leaned forward and looked at the copper box, the box had a buckle nose, but it was not locked, Fang Shi stretched out his hand to open the box, Lou Jingzhong stopped him.
He used the wooden staff to pick the buckle nose very dexterously, and then slowly turned the lid up, the lid made an unpleasant friction sound, fell backwards, was stuck out at a certain angle, made a sound, the dust on the lid slid off, and suddenly there was a dust mist on the stone table, Xia Yuxin fanned hard, and drove the dust and mist away.
When the dust and fog gradually dissipated, seeing that everything was normal, Lou Jingzhong took a step back and asked Fang Shi to step forward, Fang Shi stepped forward and looked at it, the alley was full of rolls of dark brown tarpaulin, it seemed that the things inside were well kept, one of the obviously new cowhide envelopes, presumably the old man Li Shangui's book.
Fang Shi stretched out his hand to pick up the letter, when an accident suddenly happened.
It can't be seen from Fang Shi's angle, but it can be seen very clearly from Xia Yuxin's angle, and a black shadow suddenly moved on the incense burner on the right rear of the box, and then Xia Yuxin found that the dragon originally cast on the incense burner was a black snake at all, and it was quickly bounced towards Fang Shi's hand.
Xia Yuxin was shocked.
"Be careful!"
Xia Yuxin exclaimed, while pounced, opened Fang Shi's hand, the black shadow pounced, touched the edge of the box, suddenly turned in a direction, and rushed towards Xia Yuxin's arm, Xia Yuxin didn't have time to move, so she had to try her best to press her arm down, let go of the black shadow's head, but the black shadow's tail rolled, and actually wrapped Xia Yuxin's wrist, and then the body swished around Xia Yuxin's arm like a rope.
"Ahh
Xia Yuxin screamed in pain, she only felt a tingling pain in the place above the elbow of her upper arm, could it be bitten, Xia Yuxin turned her head to look at her arm, on the waterproof jacket, an all-dark black guy was wrapped around her arm, Xia Yuxin had not found the location of the snake's head, and suddenly felt that the whole world was crooked, and her eyes suddenly turned black, and her body fell to the ground.
