99 Cave
Xing Fan felt that this was a dead end.
Originally, it was said that if you study the secrets on this map, you will be able to leave Death Valley.
But now if you want to go to the place marked on this map, you have to go through the Death Swamp first.
The only difference is that the place marked on this map is closer and less dangerous.
And if you want to leave Death Valley, you will face the boundless swamp of death, which is more dangerous.
"Big brother, in fact, to go to this mountain, you don't have to go through the death swamp that follows in the middle." At this time, Xiao Ling suddenly rubbed her little head and said: "When I was very young, my grandfather told me that there was a cave in Death Valley that led directly to that mountain, and I remember that my grandfather still took me to that mountain, and my grandfather told me at the time that I must not tell others, but then my grandfather passed away, and it was a long time, and I almost forgot it." ”
The patriarch also said at this time: "Holy Lord, Xiao Ling's grandfather was the previous patriarch of our guardian clan, but he suddenly disappeared, so he didn't have time to tell me about many secret things. ”
Xing Fan nodded, then looked at Xiao Ling and said, "Xiao Ling, do you remember where that cave is?" ”
"I don't remember, grandpa took me to the west to see the mountain, I saw that the mountain was very beautiful, so I asked grandpa if we could go over, grandpa said yes, but grandpa told me to close my eyes, and when grandpa asked me to open my eyes, I was already on the mountain.
When I came back, I quietly opened my eyes and found that we were in a cave, and I knew that there was a cave leading to that mountain in Death Valley, but I was afraid of being scolded by my grandfather, so I didn't dare to ask my grandfather at all. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Ling thought seriously for a while before he said again: "By the way, big brother, I remember that when I returned to the entrance of the cave on this side of Death Valley, I quietly opened my eyes and took a look, I remember that there seemed to be a big stone at the entrance of the cave, and there were words on the stone, but I was too young at that time, I was only a little over five years old, and I didn't know the words on it at all." ”
"Patriarch, will it be the forbidden land of the back mountain that Xiao Ling said?"
"That's right, if you want to say that there are words on the big stone on the Death Valley, it can only be the forbidden monument on the forbidden land in the back mountain."
"Let's go, let's go to the forbidden place in the back mountain immediately." Xing Fan immediately made a decision and said.
"But Holy Lord, our guardian clan has ancestral teachings, and our clansmen can't enter the forbidden land of the back mountain at all except for the patriarch!"
Xing Fan looked at the patriarch: "Patriarch, in this case, have you been to the Houshan Forbidden Land, do you know what caves there are in the Houshan Forbidden Land?" ”
"Yes, but that place is where the coffins of the patriarchs of our guardian clan are kept, and there is nothing in it except the corpses of the patriarchs, let alone the cave leading to that mountain."
Xing Fan frowned and said, "There is only this one cave, and there is nothing else." ”
"It's gone!" The patriarch shook his head.
Xing Fan was silent for a while before making a decision: "Then can I go to this cave and have a look?" ”
"Of course, you are the Holy Lord, although our ancestors have a testament, except for the patriarch, no other clansmen are allowed to enter, but now as long as the Holy Lord says that everyone can go, then everyone can naturally go."
"In that case, let's all go!" Xing Fan said directly.
When I came to the cave in the forbidden place of the back mountain, I saw that there was indeed a sarcophagus inside.
After Xing Fan led everyone to bow to these coffins, he immediately asked everyone to check them on the walls of the cave.
Because he wondered if there was a mechanism or something on the wall of this cave.
However, after everyone carefully examined it, they found nothing on the cave wall.
"Holy Lord, the coffin in the middle is the ancestor of our guardian clan, since you have now taken his dragon-shaped jade pendant and become the holy lord of our guardian clan, why don't we go over and worship his old man alone!"
Xing Fan nodded, and was about to go over to the patriarch.
But Ji Mansi suddenly called the patriarch at this time and said: "Patriarch, what did you just say, that coffin belongs to your ancestor, but didn't you say that your ancestor left this world and went to another world, how can there be his coffin here." ”
"I don't know if I don't know!" The patriarch shook his head and said, "Perhaps, this is the mound that our ancestors of the guardian clan built for him in order to commemorate the ancestor." ”
Ji Mansi nodded: "Then can we open it and take a look?" ”
"Miss Ji, it seems that this is too disrespectful to the ancestor!" The patriarch was a little embarrassed.
So Ji Mansi simply looked at Xing Fan and said: "Xing Fan, I feel that this ancestor sarcophagus is a little strange, maybe the cave leading to that mountain is in this sarcophagus, I think we should open it and take a look." ”
Xing Fan nodded, and then looked at the patriarch: "Patriarch, let everyone open the ancestor sarcophagus, don't worry, we are not disrespectful to the ancestor, we just want to find that cave, besides, we are doing this to leave the Valley of Death, I believe that even if the ancestor knows, he will not blame us." ”
Xing Fan said so, what else could the patriarch say.
The shepherd boy could only open the sarcophagus.
"Ah, patriarch, the Ancestor sarcophagus is empty, and there is a cave inside."
Hearing the words of the shepherd boy after opening the sarcophagus, Xing Fan and the others were all overjoyed.
"Miss Ji, you and Xiaoling will wait here with everyone, and I, the patriarch and the shepherd boy will go in and have a look." Xing Fan said, and then took the patriarch and the shepherd boy to jump into the cave of the ancestor sarcophagus.
The cave is very long, and it is very wet, and I don't know how long it has been.
The cave, which had been going deep underground, was finally slowly going up again.
Seeing this, Xing Fan knew that he was afraid that it was not very far from the exit of that mountain.
Sure enough, after walking for nearly half an hour,
I saw a glimmer of light suddenly come from the originally dark cave.
And this glimmer of light slowly changed from small to large, and when they walked into it completely, the entire cave entrance also appeared in their sight.
"Holy Lord, here we are, here we are." After coming out of the cave, the shepherd boy said excitedly.
Xing Fan looked at the surrounding environment, according to the map of that map, there seems to be a pond on the top of this mountain, and this pool is also the end point on the map.
So, after retracting his gaze, Xing Fan said to the patriarch and the shepherd boy: "Let's go up the mountain." ”
When the words fell, Xing Fan took the lead and walked towards the top of the mountain.
However, as soon as they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the two found two bodies here that had been completely corrupted.
Only two piles of bones remained.
"This is Xiao Ling's grandfather, no wonder he disappeared suddenly, it turned out that he died here." The patriarch suddenly crouched in front of a white skeleton and said.
"How so?" Xing Fan also looked at the white bone, there was only one white bone left, and he really understood how the patriarch recognized this as Xiao Ling's grandfather.
"Because this corpse bears the tokens of our patriarchs from all generations." The shepherd boy pointed to a wrench on the corpse's finger and said, "Holy Lord, this is the wrench that has been passed down from generation to generation by the patriarch of our guardian clan, but Xiao Ling's grandfather suddenly disappeared, so it was broken when it reached him, so it was not worn in the hands of the patriarch now." ”
Xing Fan nodded, pointed to another corpse and said, "What about this one, do you know who the other party is?" ”
The shepherd boy and the patriarch all shook their heads, and the patriarch said: "It stands to reason that the secret of our guardian patriarch has been passed down from generation to generation, if this cave is not for the old patriarch who came with Xiao Ling when he was a child, Xiao Ling said it, I'm afraid I will never know, but now, in addition to the old patriarch, there is another person who died here with him, which is really incredible." ”
