Chapter 36: The Jizo Centipede
"Bah, you crow's mouth, if this is a reminder of the location of the treasure, maybe it is still the site of a large sect."
Hearing that it might be the ruins of the Great Gate Sect, Beitang Yu'er's eyes couldn't help but heat up.
"If it's really the ruins of an ancient sect, then we'll be completely rich."
After speaking, Beitang Yu'er pulled Qin Zhan and walked briskly inside. This time, Qin Zhan was a little worried, who was stupid to erect a monument there. It also reminds outsiders that there is a great treasure here, unless that person has a problem with his brain.
And the reason why Qin Zhan said that just now was completely to show his erudition, but he didn't expect that as soon as this Beitang Yu'er heard that there was a treasure, his eyes lit up and he ran inside. It's good now, even if you have the heart to go back, you can't say it, otherwise wouldn't it be a slap in the face. Under Nai, Qin Zhan could only stubbornly go inside.
As Qin Zhan and the three of them continued to go deeper, they found that this place was becoming more and more like an underground village. Along the way, they found many large and small stone cellars, in which a lot of grain and meat remained, but most of them were petrified.
After walking for a while, Qin Zhan and the others were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them, only to see that there was a huge underground space here, and countless small holes had been dug in the stone wall, each of which seemed to be the residence of a family, and this dense and countless small holes looked as if they had walked into a hornet's nest. In the center of the hive is a natural staircase that spreads out countless paths to the surrounding area, allowing people above the stone wall to enter their homes through the stairs.
"I didn't expect that there is a village located here, it's amazing", Beitang Yu'er was a little surprised to see such a scene.
"It seems that something is at the top of the stone staircase", Qin Zhan felt that the aura was constantly coming from there.
Qin Zhan and the others walked up the stairs, and drew many color pictures on the inside of the stone stairs. However, due to their age, most of the color drawings are too dilapidated to be recognized.
"Shhhh
After listening to Qin Zhan's words, Huang Puyan and Beitang Yu'er immediately held their breath and quietly listened to the source of the sound.
Immediately, everyone heard that the voice was a little muffled, and it was very small, and after a while, the sound disappeared again.
"The source of the sound seems to be coming from the top," Beitang Yu'er said.
So, driven by curiosity, Qin Zhan and the three of them climbed to the top of the stone ladder. In about a quarter of an hour, Qin Zhan and the three of them climbed to the top of the stone ladder.
At the top of this stone staircase there is a huge circular platform, the diameter of which can reach about ten zhang, and the ground of the platform is carved with many strange totems.
After observing for a while, Qin Zhan realized that this place should have been an altar before. Through what was left over from this platform, Qin Zhan and the three of them could see that this should be a place where people used to be priests.
In fact, in real villages, many tribes also have their own priestly customs, such as praying for good weather in the heavens, or worshiping the patron saint of their tribe, and so on. All kinds, so varied.
At this time, Qin Zhan and they found a half-cut stone pavilion in the center of the altar. The reason why it is said to be half of the stone hall is because this stone hall is erected, and the other half is inserted in this platform. And above this altar hung countless green vines.
"Look at what's up there," Qin Zhan said, pointing to the sky.
I saw countless green vines hanging in the sky, and there seemed to be a raft hanging in the center of the green vines. The three of them climbed up the hanging green vines, and after a while they reached the position of the raft.
In the middle of this raft is a wooden box, the texture of which is beautifully carved, and a small turquoise snake is vividly carved on it.
And the intensity of the aura here has reached the level of atomization, which shows that the things contained in this wooden box must contain a huge amount of energy.
Qin Zhan slowly opened the wooden box, only to see three beads the size of a green thumb and an egg of an unknown beast lying quietly in it.
"What kind of treasure is this?"
Qin Zhan had never seen these things before, and Beitang Yu'er and Huangpu Yan didn't recognize what they were after looking at it for a while.
At this moment, only a small cracking sound was heard from the eggshell, and then the egg cracked little by little, and a small snake with a whole turquoise body crawled out of the eggshell.
I saw that the front half of this little snake stood up, staring at Qin Zhan and the three of them back and forth. In the end, he actually crawled towards Beitang Yu'er, and his little head kept rubbing against his hands.
Seeing that the little snake seemed to like himself very much, Beitang Yu'er stroked the little snake affectionately.
"This little snake is blind, I look so handsome and don't even look for me, the level of appreciation needs to be improved", Qin Zhan said with a little dissatisfaction when he saw that the little snake didn't look for himself.
After listening to Qin Zhan's words, the little snake seemed to understand his words, and then spit out the snake letter at Qin Zhan with dissatisfaction.
"I didn't expect this little guy to understand people's words, seeing that you look so green and clear, I will call you Biyou in the future", and then Beitang Yu'er kept stroking the little snake.
At this moment, a low beast roar came from above Qin Zhan's head. Although this voice was not loud, it gave Qin Zhan and the three of them a strong sense of oppression.
The cold sweat on Qin Zhan's forehead was frightened, and the three of them raised their heads slowly, and Beitang Yu'er also took out the Night Pearl to look above.
I saw that among the dense vines overhead, a huge centipede roared at them with its bloody mouth wide open, and the sticky saliva continued to drip down.
Seeing such a scene, Qin Zhan and the three of them were all taken aback, and then Qin Zhan came to his senses and shouted, "Run."
The three of them hurriedly slid down the vine in a panic. Because they were so nervous, the three of them fell down before they could slip onto the altar.
Just as he wanted to run to the exit of the stairs, he saw that the centipede that had been hiding in the vines fell directly on the altar. The huge body directly blocked the staircase.
"What should I do", Beitang Yu'er asked a little panicked.
Qin Zhan stood on the altar and looked down, only to see that this altar was forty or fifty zhang high from the ground they came up from, and if he jumped directly, it was estimated that he would be seriously injured if he didn't die.
Qin Zhan looked at this centipede and found that the length of this centipede was estimated to be four or five zhang, and its body was thicker than a person's waist. It writhed constantly on the altar, as if looking for a target to attack.
Qin Zhan lowered his voice and said, "What kind of species is this, why is it so big, it's much bigger than a centipede in a restaurant."
Listening to Qin Zhan's words, Beitang Yu'er and Huangpu Yan couldn't help but glance at Qin Zhan, how could they think of a centipede in a restaurant in front of such a terrifying centipede.
