Chapter 11 Sketches
Hearing Shen Lang's voice, I was suddenly shocked, and unconsciously clenched Qi Zhi's hand.
In Shen Lang's tone, I could hear some surprise, some panic, and a bit of uncertainty, there was no doubt that he must have discovered something.
But obviously, if it was a good discovery, then Shen Lang would definitely not be alarmed, so his current tone invisibly proved to us that his current discovery may be a little strange and even dangerous.
Since he may be in danger, it is natural that we cannot sit idly by.
Because Shen Lang's voice was very loud, naturally not only me and Qi Zhi heard his shout, after hearing this voice, everyone immediately rushed to his direction along the source of the sound, wanting to know what he had discovered.
Because Black Rock City is not huge, we soon came to Shen Lang's side and found that he was not in any danger, just staring at the ground with an extremely complicated expression.
We followed his line of sight, only to see that what he was looking at was not something to be feared, but a sketch at his feet.
The sketch was not drawn on paper, but was carved into the ground of Blackstone City with a sharp object.
Since the floor of Blackstone City is paved with brick and stone, this sketch will not disappear when the wind blows like it is painted on the sand, but will remain here for a long time until it is smoothed out by the years.
And seeing this scene, we can't help but look at each other.
Shen Lang has always been bold, why does he have such a panicked tone when he sees a sketch now?
What kind of secret is there in this sketch?
Thinking of this, everyone squatted down one after another, wanting to carefully examine this sketch and find out what made Shen Lang panic.
And after careful discernment, it is not difficult to see that this sketch is actually a sketchy map.
After careful comparison, we found that the route on this map was the same route we took to come to Blackstone City after entering the Hidden Capital.
Seeing this scene, Ling Xuan was a little crying and laughing, and looked at Shen Lang and asked helplessly.
"Shen Lang, you have nothing to do to draw a map here, and even if you have nothing to do here, you won't make such a sound, we all think something happened to you."
"Master, you misunderstood."
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Ling Xuan said, Shen Lang shook his head violently, and his tone in his words was complicated.
"I didn't make this sketch, I found out I already had this map when I came here!"
For a moment, everyone was shocked.
This sketch was not made by Shen Lang?
If it is really as Shen Lang said, he has already found this sketch when he came here, it means that before we came to this Black Rock City, someone had already arrived here. Books.com
However, according to Juekong, no one has visited Black Rock City for thousands of years, so who is this person?
Out of understanding Shen Lang, after seeing Shen Lang's current expression, it is not difficult for us to be sure that he is not lying.
That means that this sketch has nothing to do with him, and that the person who left it behind had indeed come to the mysterious Black Rock City long before us.
Obviously, this man must not have been the one who built this place in the first place, because he did not need this map with the route to it, and since he built it, he must know everything.
In the same way, the person who left this sketch will never be the ancestral dragon Yingzheng who came to the hidden capital at the beginning, and since it will not be the traces left when it was built, then this sketch must be evidence that later people have been here.
Thinking of this, we once again focused on the sketch at Shen Lang's feet, wanting to distinguish the time when this sketch appeared here from the details.
This sketch has been carved into the ground of Blackstone City, and it is clearly visible with every stroke, and there is not a trace of blurring in it, if this picture had been carved here thousands of years ago, it is clear that it will never be so clear.
In this case, this picture is certainly not a remnant of a thousand years ago, and from our observations, it is only a few decades at most that it was engraved here.
Since this Black Rock City is located in the land of the hidden capital, our first reaction is naturally to ask Juekong, who has been guarding the land of the hidden capital for generations, if this picture is left by his vein, then we naturally don't have to worry about the sky.
So, I looked at Juekong and asked with hope in my mouth.
"Master Juekong, your lineage has been guarding this secluded capital for generations, and you should have been extremely familiar with this place for a long time, how could you still draw such a sketch here?"
However, it was clear that my hopes had been dashed as soon as I spoke, and Juekong shook his head at me without hesitation with a serious face.
"Donor, this sketch is definitely not made by the poor monk, although the poor monk guarded the secluded capital in the era, but no one has ever been to this black stone city before the poor monk."
Hearing Juekong's unequivocal answer, everyone's expressions tightened again.
How is this possible!?
If you want to come to this city of black stone, you must first meet these conditions.
The first condition is that the person must first know the existence of the way of the Yin Soldier.
Guiguzi's construction of the way of the Yin Soldier is a secret thing, whether this person is going to read ancient books, or traveling to Shenzhou to explore, if there is no inheritance, it is impossible to know the existence of the way of the Yin Soldier, if you don't know, then naturally you will not rise to this heart of exploration.
And the second condition is that he can hide from the sky and cross the sea, and find the true entrance to the way of the Yin Soldier in the Daxiangguo Temple guarded by Juekong.
The way of the Yin soldier is actually the place of the hidden capital, because this is a space independent of Shenzhou, so it is impossible to enter it by mistake when you go all over Shenzhou, and the only way to enter is the entrance at the pavilion of the Great Xiangguo Temple.
There is no doubt that compared to the existence of the way of the Yin soldiers, the true location of its entrance is the secret of the secret, if it were not for Juekong to tell us calmly, I am afraid that we would never have dreamed that this legendary entrance is actually located in the well-known Daxiangguo Temple.
And taking a step back, even if this person knows the true location of the entrance for some reason, if this person wants to enter it, he not only needs to pass through the protection of the formation, but also has to avoid the gaze of countless monks in the Great Xiangguo Temple, not to mention the Xinling lineage that guarded the entrance thousands of years ago.
So who was this person, and who could have met so many harsh conditions to finally reach the city of Blackstone, leaving behind this sketch we see today?
