Chapter 239: Under the Candle Mountain! (Happy New Year)
This time, Zhu Mingtong was a little more cautious, after all, Luo Jun found something in Candle Villa, which may really have a lot to do with the boiling curse among the people.
"Nishito, it's so beautiful here."
Flying in the air, the concubine looked at the beautiful scenery below in amazement.
The pavilions and temples built by the mountain on the top of the mountain loom in the background, the red and green blend together, and the contrast is harmonious.
Candle Mountain is not high, only 250 meters above sea level, but to the top of the mountain stone steps are steep, like climbing Mount Tai Tiandu Peak, the winding stone path is as steep as a ladder, you need to step on the solid. Climbing the ravine, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, one side is the green steep cliff, and the other side is the neat and embroidered empty mountain color.
"There's even an ancient temple!"
The cliff top wall stands, the peaks and peaks are steep, the Lushan Patriarch Temple built along the mountain trend, the sound of wooden fish is accompanied by the sound of birds and cicadas all day long, and the ancient temple is conveyed in the gentle mountain wind. The Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Dizo King Palace, the Jade Emperor Palace, and the Fengjing Temple rise and fall in the dangerous peaks, and the halls are connected. Climb the hanging ladder, walk the corridor, cross the stone ridge, cross the flying stack, shuttle in the meantime, and wash away the dust of the world in a pious state of mind.
Looking down at the foot of the mountain, the Jinxi River is sparkling, floating silver and gold. Explore the strange back mountain, the scenery is unique here.
Zhu Mingtong was also surprised, the mountains and rivers below were connected, and the magnificent scenery of twists and turns and sparkling waves could not be connected with a cursed mountain villa.
Flying over the top of Candle Mountain, the two continued to fly along the winding mountain trail, and soon came to a unique mountain villa in the depths of Candle Mountain.
After landing, Luo Jun and Xiao Hei had been waiting for a long time.
"This is Cursed Hills?" The concubine looked at the structure of the entire villa suspiciously and said.
The structure of the overall villa is still good, with western-style buildings, inns, gardens, and streams swirling here, just like a secluded villa in ancient times.
The only difference is that this is a barren place, with an indescribable desolation everywhere, and even an eerie dead silence in the environment.
"After the original Candle Hill was burned down, someone bought it and renovated it...... But the good times didn't last long, some strange things happened here, and a lot of people died, which led to the transformation into a wasteland villa, and no one dared to take over this place. "After some investigation, Luo Jun already knows very well why this place has become like this.
"What is the reason?" The concubine asked angrily.
"The leader comes in with me." Luo Jun looked at Zhu Mingtong with a serious face and said.
Several people followed Luo Jun and Xiao Hei to a barren field at the back of the villa, the wild grass in the barren field was more than half a person high, and weeds and thorns were everywhere, but Luo Jun had opened a way, which could lead straight to a certain place in the barren field.
"This barren land should have been some pure natural vegetables grown by the owner of the former mountain villa, but now it has been abandoned for a long time and has long been turned into a wasteland.
In fact, the previous rumors of the curse were not groundless, and the reason is here. Luo Jun stopped suddenly.
Blackie also stopped at the top of a dirt pit and pointed to the bottom of the pit with his cat's paw.
Zhu Mingtong approached and found that there was actually a pitch-black soil cave under the pit, the cave was full of yin qi, and he could feel a rotten yin wind pouring out, and the soil pit was surrounded by open soil, thinking that Luo Jun and them did it.
After seeing this soil cave, Zhu Mingtong couldn't help but think of a certain possibility.
"Cave Robbery!" Luo Jun said with great certainty.
"Are you saying there's an ancient tomb down there?" The concubine said in surprise.
"This is Xiao Hei found, its sense of smell is different from ordinary people can find some things that ordinary people can't find, this thief hole has been filled and leveled when we found it, here we dug it, but the soil is soft, obviously someone has dug it in recent years." Luo Jun said.
"Have you ever been down?" Zhu Mingtong asked.
"Well, I went down, but not completely.
I found something strange and I notified you to come over. Luo Jun said with a strange face.
"What's that?"
"It's hard to say, leader, you'd better go down and see for yourself." Luo Jun said with a somewhat gloomy face.
Zhu Mingtong doesn't feel like a good thing, but since he has arrived here, and he may have something to do with Zhang Heng, he will definitely go down.
And this place has been dug up before, which means that the ancient tomb below has been entered, as for what will be below, it is unknown.
The ancient tomb is really not tempting for the immortals, mortals covet the tomb of the artifact, if you can pour out the artifact, you can make a fortune in an instant, but there are still some traps and even some unclean things in the tomb, which leads to the people who go down to the tomb will be very dangerous.
With a light leap, Xiao Hei took the lead into the dirt pit.
Luo Jun followed, and Zhu Mingtong and the concubine walked in the rear.
The potholed soil hole lasted for about ten meters, and except for Xiao Hei, the three of them were all cats burrowing into it.
After a while, the front of me became clear, and it was a huge stone gate embedded in the stone wall.
The stone gate is simple and magnificent, the surface is carved with vicissitudes and obsolescence, and there are many strange dents carved on the surface of the stone gate, which together look like a strange spell mark.
In front of the stone gate, there were several skeletons covered with cobwebs, and I don't know what age the corpses were, and even the clothes were rotten like mud.
Zhu Mingtong's brows furrowed tightly, and he glanced at several corpses in front of the stone gate and said, "These tomb robbers died without even entering the gate of the ancient tomb?" ”
"Leader, this is what I am very confused about, so after arriving here, Xiao Hei and I dare not move forward.
Those dents on the stone door may be some kind of curse mark, mortals will die if they touch it! Luo Jun said with palpitations on his face.
The concubine's face changed slightly, and she withdrew her gaze from the white bones, and she said in surprise: "That means that this ancient tomb has not been opened?" ”
"Not necessarily." Zhu Mingtong took a step forward and said, "The stone gate has been opened, and the stone gate is not a spell seal, but a mercury tank. ”
"Nishito, how do you know?" The concubine asked suspiciously.
"Most of the bones of these dead are showing signs of corrosion, even the clothes are corroded to shreds, and you look at the ground.
It is like a layer of corrosive material that flows through and forms a scab layer, and over time these scabs also turn into a black stratum corneum that merges with the earth. ”
After speaking, Zhu Mingtong stepped on the dark ground and stepped on it a few times with his foot, and the ground actually cracked into several pieces.
"You see that this stone door still has traces of being chiseled open, apparently the previous tomb robbers accidentally touched the mechanism on the stone door, causing the liquid of the mechanism of the mercury wall to splash out, corroding the stone door into a shape like a formation map, and those who had time to escape in the future were directly corroded to death!" Zhu Ming channel.
