Chapter 128: Cave Dry Bones
However, Wanning tossed for a while, but did not develop the special function of the purple mirror, and it seems that it can only play a role in real combat. Thinking of this, he was no longer in a hurry, Wan Ning moved his sore neck, stood up, and was about to call Xu Linghua to leave the mountain stream, but found that the Qingjian woman suddenly disappeared.
"Where did this man go? ”
Wan Ning frowned, unfolded his divine thoughts, but found that Xu Linghua had gone deep into the cave where the ice python had been hiding before, and because he had not reached the Ning Yuan Realm, his divine thoughts could not accurately observe the movements of the other party, so Wan Ning, who didn't know what was going on, also set off and walked towards the cave.
The boy didn't take two steps, and Wangcai, who had been wrapped around his wrist, suddenly slipped down, and Wan Ning was startled, and quickly bent down to catch it, but the little guy fell to the ground along Wan Ning's right hand and crawled towards the empty shell of the ice python.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"The skin of the ice python is a good tonic for other snakes, you don't have to worry about it, come and see what is going on. ”
Wan Ning didn't know why Wangcai, who was usually well-behaved and obedient, suddenly turned a deaf ear to his words, at this time Xu Linghua's voice remembered from outside the cave, Wan Ning turned around and found that the girl was looking at him with a green sword in her arms.
"Is that so...... What, there's a discovery in the cave?"
Since he had not dealt with snakes much in his previous life, Wan Ning was not familiar with these, and after repeated confirmation to Xu Linghua, he finally put down Wangcai, who had already drilled into the empty shell of the ice python, and followed Xu Linghua to the cave.
"There was a mechanism on the outside and inside of the cave, but I forced it open, and inside it seemed to be a burial ground for exotic spiritualists. ”
Wan Ning looked at the ground sprinkled with gravel and dust, as well as the extremely deep sword marks clearly visible on the walls, and secretly staggered, it was more appropriate to call it violent demolition than forced opening. However, as he entered the cave ** that had been sealed by the mechanism before, Wan Ning's eyes were quickly attracted.
It was a simple cave with a dim view, and due to the lack of air outlets, the air appeared to be cloudy and carried a musty smell. The tables, chairs and benches were all made of local materials, and the appearance was extremely crude, probably barely enough to be used, and it seemed that the spiritual monk did not think of it as a place to stay for long. On a stone bed at the back of the cave, a tall skeleton sits cross-legged, and it looks like the deceased must have been an adult man before his death.
"Except for a bamboo scroll that he couldn't read at all, he didn't get anything, and I guess there was something else he had hidden. ”
Xu Linghua threw a yellowed slightly dried bamboo roll to Wan Ning, and the erudite Xu Linghua didn't know what was written on it, so he didn't have any hope for the bamboo roll, he just flipped through it casually, but just a casual glance, the young man's pupils contracted violently, as if he had found something critical.
"Do you know these words?"
Wanning's subtle changes were caught by the keen Xu Linghua, so Xu Linghua asked, with an undoubted look of inquiry in her tone.
"No...... I'm just curious, can this twisted earthworm-like line really be called words?"
However, the next moment the boy returned to normal, he casually threw the bamboo roll on the table, shrugged his shoulders, and smiled helplessly.
"I don't know, but what is supposed to be written in the bamboo roll. ”
Wan Ning's acting skills are not unnatural, Xu Linghua just stared at him coldly, and then turned her head and began to wonder if there were treasures hidden elsewhere. Seeing that the girl finally took her attention away from herself, Wan Ning's face remained silent, but she breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart.
It's not that he doesn't want to share the content of the bamboo scroll with Xu Linghua, but the words written on this bamboo scroll that has been around for many years are the ancient spiritual texts of the Great World of the Spirit Domain, and even if people in the Spirit Domain know this kind of writing, they are by no means the majority.
In this backward nether realm, there was a book written by Gu Lingwen, and the stakes were very high, and if Wan Ning told the truth about the situation and claimed to know Gu Lingwen, the consequences would be unimaginable. So for the sake of his own safety, Wanning can't reveal a trace of news.
"Then I'll try to cut this skeleton to see if there's any mystery in it. ”
Xu Linghua didn't seem to be willing to return empty-handed, she pulled out the green sword and looked at the skeleton sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, in her mind, there was no such thing as respecting her predecessors at all.
"Don't, don't, don't! Doing such a bad thing will be punished by God! Killing people is not too much, you and others were fellow travelers, but now you have to torture corpses, this is too much!"
Wan Ning saw that Xu Linghua seemed to be going to move seriously, and hurriedly ran over to stop the girl's move.
"I always felt that there was a secret in this cave, but I couldn't dig it out. ”
Although Xu Linghua temporarily stopped the movement in her hand, she did not put the green sword back into the scabbard.
"You are a pure sword cultivator, concentrating on sword cultivation is the right way, besides, the exercises you have mastered are already so powerful, can you afford to be unable to get along with a dead man?"
The young man spread his hands and persuaded him bitterly, he was not a good person, but although Wan Ning had never met this cave lord and had nothing to do with it, the long-lost ancient spirit text made Wan Ning, who had been away from the spiritual realm for a long time, feel familiar and narrowed the distance between him and the dead.
After all, Wan Ning still thinks that the dazzling starry sky temple in the spiritual world is his hometown, and now the nether realm he has wandered into is only a foreign country. Now that I saw the deceased who left Gu Lingwen, it was as if I had seen a friend from my hometown, so I felt compassion and stopped Xu Linghua's reckless behavior.
"But maybe it can help the Aoki sect. ”
Xu Linghua said expressionlessly, it seemed that the sect would always be in the first place in her heart.
"Think about it, this kind of messy writing is mostly related to demon cultivation, the Aoki Sect is a decent sect, how can it have anything to do with the Demon Dao, and you see that this dry bone is ashes, it looks like it will be broken when touched, obviously the deceased's cultivation was not high during his lifetime, so what good treasure can he have? Let's not spend so much effort, go back as soon as possible, everyone is waiting for us to return to the Aoki Sect." ”
Wan Ning couldn't care so much at this time, and the nonsense made Xu Linghua go around the clouds and fog, the girl pondered for a while, nodded, and finally agreed with Wan Ning's opinion.
"I see that you understand a wide range of things, you can take this bamboo scroll first, if you understand the text on it, or even see the appearance of similar words, you must notify me or the sect. ”
Xu Linghua picked up the bamboo roll, looked at it carefully, and threw it to Wanning casually after finding nothing, and walked out of the cave.
"Good...... Okay!"
Wan Ning grabbed the bamboo scroll and carefully put it into the storage ring, he looked at the first few pages, mainly the autobiography of the deceased spirituality, and he didn't know if there would be anything useful in the back, but at least this thing was written in ancient spiritual script, so he had to take it seriously.
"Destroy the cave when you come out, and bury the bones in it. ”
Xu Linghua's voice drifted farther and farther, Wan Ning agreed loudly, and walked in front of the dry bone, he first bowed respectfully to the dry bone, and then patted it on the shoulder like an old friend, wanting to say something, but he forgot about it.
The girl urged more and more tightly, Wan Ning didn't dare to rub it more, he picked up the dry bone, carefully put it down, wanted to make the other party not so tired after death, but just like this, Wan Ning found that the dry bone sat down and placed a faint shining storage ring, which looked like it had been quite a year.
