Chapter 145, Wan Lin Tomb
The unicorn egg is oval in shape, about the size of a rugby ball, and a little more round than a rugby ball.
I don't know why, when Qi Hufei saw it, he thought of a ...... Piggy bank?
If you make an opening in it and stuff coins into it, you should be able to stuff a lot.
But he knew that the true value of this thing could not be measured in coins, even gold coins.
The shell of the unicorn egg is mottled and petrified, and to the naked eye, it looks like an ordinary stone.
If you look into it with your divine sense, you can feel the vigorous vitality and rich aura.
It's incredible that it's still alive after so many years underground!
It's just that this thick eggshell seems to have the effect of preventing the overflow of spiritual energy, and it also blocks the divine sense, making it impossible to see the inside.
In order to confirm, Qi Hufei once again thought "See the dragon in the field".
As soon as the spell worked, the egg became radiant as far as the eye could see, and the eggshell was like glass, and there was a multicolored light flowing in it.
Every ten seconds or so, the entire egg emits a dazzling white light.
Qi Feifei observed for a moment, confirming that the intermittent light was related to the stone platform below it, as if it was some kind of device that was supplying it with energy.
Only then did he notice that there was a large hazy light deep in the ground under the stone platform, which he had just ignored because his attention was all on the egg.
It turns out that there is something underground!
The intensity of these rays of light in the divine consciousness is not high, but the number is very large, and the area covered is extremely large, as if the entire belly of Qilin Mountain has been hollowed out, and countless treasures are buried.
Qi Feifei feels like he's made a big deal now!
So much, even if it is not a magic weapon and spiritual object, it is just an ordinary wealth in the world, and it will not be spent in a few lifetimes.
Qi Hufei walked up to the Qilin Egg, carefully inspected it, and made sure that there was no formation mechanism around the egg, so he carefully took the Qilin Egg off the stone platform.
He originally thought that the inside of this stone platform was hollow, just like the purple bamboo stalagmite, growing from the ground, so that he could supply energy to the unicorn egg.
But the moment he picked up the unicorn egg, his body was suddenly electrocuted, and a strange breath came from under his feet, passed through the meridians of his body, and reached the egg in his hand.
Then, the egg glows with a dazzling white light.
This breath says that energy is not like energy, and that aura is not like aura, but it is a bit like soul power, but it is different.
It turns out that the unicorn egg and this underground thing have the ability to sense nature.
Qi Feifei felt uncomfortable, and hurriedly stuffed the unicorn egg into the mirror.
The stone platform in front of me is neither hollow nor peculiar, it is just an ordinary stone.
He tried to push the stone platform open, and sure enough, a passage down appeared.
Qi Hufei got into it, and after walking down for a while, the passage widened, and it didn't take long for a karst cave to appear.
There are traces of artificial excavation on all sides and the top of this cave, and there is a stone tablet more than one person high standing in the middle, and three big characters are engraved on the tablet:
Wan Lin Moka
Qi Hu flew to the back of the stele and saw a few lines of poetry engraved on it:
At the beginning of the catastrophe, there was a Rui seed
Back then, I dared to compete with the sky
This body was wiped out in a war
Proud bones are buried in the mound
On the left side of the poem is the inscription: Saitai Sui Li
Wan Lin Mound ...... Is this a tombstone?
With doubts, Qi Hufei continued to walk forward.
Out of the cave, it was a bigger cave, and the scene in the cave completely stunned Qi Feifei.
The cave was densely packed with white bones.
Judging by the skeleton, it is a large quadruped with two horns on its head, hooves on its feet, and a few of them wings.
Qi Fei walked slowly, carefully passing through the white bones.
These skeletons appear to be intact, but most of them have scars, some have broken limb horns, some have collapsed ribs, some have broken vertebrae, and some have shattered skulls......
He crouched down and examined the wound on one of the skeletons.
This corpse bone, from the shoulder to the ribs to the hind limbs, was neatly cracked, and the cut of the broken bone was flat, as if it had been injured by some sharp weapon or sword qi, and it was almost split in half with a single sword.
Qi Hufei stood up and continued to walk forward, squatting down from time to time to take a look.
After passing through the cave, there was another cave, but it was smaller than the previous one, and it was still full of white bones.
The structure of the cave here is a bit similar to that of the hedgehog cave, and there are holes in the caves, and the big caves are connected to the small holes.
Qi Hufei passed through several karst caves of different sizes in succession, and the scene in the caves was almost identical, all of them were full of corpses.
What a mound!
What was this Qilin Mountain back then, and why did so many Qilin die here?
Qi Hufei was puzzled, turned around, exited the cave, and returned to the stone tablet carved by Sai Tai Sui.
“…… This body was wiped out in a war, and the proud bones were buried in the barren grave......"
He gently recited the lines of poetry on the stele.
What kind of war can wipe out the Qilin?
He had also heard that there had been countless flood wars since the opening of Hongmeng, and the demon clan had fought for his life several times after the decline, but he had never been able to turn over.
It is said that after the great prosperity of the human race, the dragon dived to the bottom of the sea, and the phoenix and the unicorn were trapped in the Fenglin Continent and could not come out.
If the Qilin clan has been wiped out, is the legend of Fenglin Continent fake?
It seems that Sai Tai Sui came to Qilin Mountain back then, and it was not as simple as enjoying the benefits of the mountain king for the demon in the lower realm.
It is likely that he came for the Kirin Mound in the first place, or for the Kirin egg. Hatching a unicorn egg is tantamount to preserving the bloodline of the unicorn clan.
I'm afraid he didn't catch the lady of the Golden Holy Palace to marry her back and be some kind of lady of the village.
Sai Tai Sui is a golden retriever, and the Qilin and the unicorn are genetically close relatives.
In order to preserve the vitality of the unicorn egg, he captured the Golden Sacred Palace Niangniang, combined it with his essence and blood, and injected it into the unicorn egg to preserve the vitality of the egg so that it could hatch.
From this point of view, that Golden Saint Palace Niangniang is not an ordinary person, otherwise Sai Taisui will not be looked for by others, and she will have to find a big person like the princess, and she will cause trouble for herself.
It is precisely because of the identity of the mother of the Golden Sacred Palace that this plan was finally destroyed by Sun Wukong.
If you think about it this way, it seems very suspicious that Sun Wukong destroyed the pig hole back then.
It stands to reason that the mother of the Golden Sacred Palace has been rescued, and Sai Tai Sui has also been subdued by Guanyin, and the rest of the things will be handled by the king, and Sun Wukong has to go back to destroy the hole, causing the snake demon to be pestled and rotten the tail vertebrae, and the real hedgehog cave has been buried deep in the mountain since then, and no one has found it for more than a thousand years.
No matter how you look at it, there is a suspicion of deliberately destroying the unicorn mound to prevent the unicorn eggs from hatching.
Fortunately, Sai Tai Sui took precautions, and did not put the unicorn eggs in the pig cave at all, and moved Zizhu from the South China Sea to set up a bamboo forest array.
But why did Sun Wukong do this?
Qi Feifei felt more and more that the past of Journey to the West was confusing, and I am afraid it was not as simple as learning from experience.
However, these things are too far away for him, and it is impossible to go to Putuo Mountain to find Sai Taisui or go to Huaguo Mountain to ask Sun Monkey.
The most important thing for him now is ......
Hurry up and pick up a few unicorn bones and go back, this is a good material for medicine!
Moreover, the Seven Poisons Nourishing Yuan Pill needs a keel, and presumably the unicorn bone is the same.
