Chapter 51: The Ancient Dragon
The two of them stepped forward, but saw that in the center of the hinterland of this open cave, there was a row of spiritual seats neatly placed, and the names of the elders of the snake clan were engraved on them.
Behind the tablet, there were more than a dozen corpses of the snake clan patriarch who had been petrified quietly entrenched, all of them changed back to the shape of a snake, and the lower body was hovering, but the snake head was still towering, facing the spiritual position of the patriarchs of the past generations.
"It seems that we guessed correctly, they are all here, and ......" Wang Lung pointed to a petrified corpse at the back, although its position was also stable, there was no spiritual position in front of it: "This last patriarch, I'm afraid it was originally necessary to wait until the current patriarch entered the forbidden land before carving a spiritual seat for him!"
Wang Lung stood up, bowed silently, and when he saw Jiang Xue's strange eyes, he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "The dead are the greatest, how can we say that we have indeed disturbed the sleeping place of the people's parents." ”
Jiang Xue didn't speak, nodded slightly, and bowed gently.
Wang Lung looked at her and smiled.
Seeing him looking at himself and smiling, Jiang Xue had a little fever on his face, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Look ahead, there seems to be a sarcophagus ......"
Wang Lung looked ahead, and sure enough, he saw a sarcophagus displayed in front of many spiritual seats, tightly sealed and covered.
"It's strange, these patriarchs are just sitting here, their bodies have been petrified, who is in the sarcophagus? and it looks ...... It seems that these patriarchs are going to worship him, and it must be extraordinary. ”
He glanced at Jiang Xue and said with a smile, "Do you want to open it and take a look?"
Jiang Xue smiled slightly, "Didn't you say that the dead are great, don't bother?"
At this moment, the cave was dark, and only a little light shone in Wang Lung's hand, which made Jiang Xue's face like white jade, exuding a soft and holy light, which made Wang Lung's heart move.
"Having said that, this sarcophagus may have something to do with the clues to our escape, and no matter how big the deceased is, it is not as important as their own safety. Wang Lung said with a smile as he slowly approached the sarcophagus.
This sarcophagus doesn't look special, it's just extraordinarily ancient and heavy, as if it has a history of tens of millions of years, full of a sense of vicissitudes.
"It looks like it's thousands of years ago, but it's the ancestor of the snake demon clan inside?"
Wang Long nodded: "It is very likely, looking at the appearance of these snake clan patriarchs in the past dynasties, it is not ordinary people who are buried inside." ”
He paused, glanced at Jiang Xue and said, "You say, should we open it and take a look......
Jiang Xue was also a little hesitant, and only nodded after a while: "But you have to be very careful, this sarcophagus may be extremely secret, maybe there will be mechanisms and the like." ”
Wang Lung nodded, protected Jiang Xue behind him, and suddenly activated a Thunder Fire Sky Splitting Sword in his palm, and threw it violently, attacking towards the sarcophagus, testing it.
Unexpectedly, there was not much movement in the sarcophagus, and it was not stirred up by the Thunder Fire Sword, but there was no mechanism that was triggered.
Wang Lung stepped forward a little boldly, knocking around, looking for the opening of the sarcophagus, but this sarcophagus seemed to be a piece of stone, tightly sealed, and there was absolutely no place to take advantage of it.
"It seems that it is hard to ......" Wang Lung breathed a long sigh of relief, gathered all the dragon qi on his palms, and let out a loud shout in his mouth, and hit a dragon running thunder hand!
Bang!
A dull and loud voice echoed through the cavern, and the sarcophagus lid was immediately beaten parallel to the sky, flying straight out of the distance, and falling to the ground with a thud.
Wang Lung and the others glanced at each other, neither of them expected it to be so easy, and cautiously stepped forward and looked inside the sarcophagus.
As soon as the sarcophagus was opened, a faint light emanated from it, although faint but it made the whole cave a little brighter, faintly yellow, but enough to be able to see the surrounding scene.
Wang Lung also extinguished the light of the thunderball in his hand, and Xian Jiangxue stepped forward to investigate, poking his head above the sarcophagus.
But seeing the faint glimmer in the sarcophagus, it was emanating from a corpse, it was obviously the corpse of a snake demon clan, although it was a little narrow in the coffin, and the bones could only circle and curl, but Wang Lung didn't know why, there was a heavy sense of oppression, and he didn't even feel it around the dragon head and Wang Yuanjiao.
The head of the snake of the corpse was tilted to the side, and a large orb was inlaid in the place where it was originally the eye, and the glimmer of light emanated from the orb.
In addition, the entire sarcophagus was empty, which seemed quite sad.
"Was it just a skeleton, I thought I could get something useful......" Wang Lung said with some disappointment.
Jiang Xue glanced at him and reminded, "Look at the four walls of the sarcophagus......
Wang Lung looked down, but saw that there were a lot of strange words written on it, it was better to say that it was a text than a graphic, which was distorted and weird, making people feel dizzy when they looked at it.
"This is the dragon text of ancient times!" Wang Long was overjoyed, he couldn't practice martial arts since he was a child, but he had seen a lot of strange things, wild history and miscellaneous records, etc., and he also had a somewhat superficial understanding of the legendary words of this ancient time.
"Dragon Script?" it is said that only the human race has writing, could it be that the dragon clan in ancient times also had such wisdom?" asked Jiang Xue with some curiosity.
Wang Lung said with a smile: "Don't underestimate the dragon clan, after all, they are a race that has ruled this world for tens of millions of years, although the age is too ancient and the spiritual intelligence is not as civilized as humans, but they are the first batch of creatures to explore the nature of the Heavenly Dao." This so-called dragon script is a kind of mysterious culture left behind by them...... There is an indescribable power attached to the dragon script, just like when we cast the dragon method, we need spells to cooperate with each other, and it is also a way to communicate with the nature of heaven and earth. ”
Jiang Xue frowned and said, "You mean, just by relying on the strange stroke trajectories of these dragon texts themselves, there is inexplicable power in them?"
"That's right, that's exactly ......" Wang Lung nodded: "So there is no need for other mechanisms in this sarcophagus, and now there are only a handful of people in the world who can crack the ancient dragon script; ”
"I see that you are very surprised by this dragon text, can you crack it?" asked Jiang Xue again.
Wang Lung shook his head and said, "I've only heard about it superficially, and it's absolutely impossible to say that it is completely cracked...... Well, you can give it a try. ”
"This dragon text has been lost for thousands of years, and now it can reappear in the sky, you and I are considered people of fate, just visualizing and meditating on the trajectory of these dragon texts in our hearts can help us understand a lot of truths. And the power of Long Wen is also the most direct way to communicate with heaven and earth beyond the dragon technique and dragon law. ”
Wang Lung fell into deep thought as he spoke, starting from the sarcophagus dragon text on the top of the corpse bones, comparing the cognition in his memory one by one, trying to crack the mystery in it.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became, and the sooner he felt, the more exhausted he felt, and the beads of sweat on his head rolled down and splashed on the cave floor with an inaudible sound.
Jiang Xue looked at him from behind, her eyebrows frowned slightly, for fear that he would accidentally fall into some strange mechanism and be intimidated.
"I see...... The dragon inscription on this sarcophagus records a great secret in ancient times......"
