However, lantern plants are very difficult to cultivate, and in the past, they were also enjoyed by nobles.

Nowadays, most of them can only be seen in temples.

"Could it be that this is the place of sacrifice of the Hundred Grass Pavilion?"

Long Tianyu hugged Lin Mengya in his arms, and his deep voice shocked Lin Mengya's heart.

Sacrifice? If that's the case, then there will definitely be an outlet.

"Maybe, since there are lanterns, we might as well light them up, and they will be a little brighter."

Zuo Qiu Yu's tone was a little weird.

Groping with Yu'an and the others seemed to have found lamp oil.

The light expanded little by little, and in the blink of an eye, the darkness faded.

It was a little difficult to adapt to everything in front of her, Lin Mengya rubbed her eyes, and the lamp oil on both sides also illuminated the narrow corridor in an instant.

"Here it is—"

Zuo Qiu Yu looked at the surrounding walls in surprise, and there was a deep ravine on each wall.

And the lamp oil, in the ravine, swims forward with light.

The natural fragrance does not have the slightest impurity because of years of sedimentation, on the contrary, it makes people feel refreshed.

However, what surprised him the most was the vivid murals on the two walls.

Zuo Qiu Yu stretched out his hand and gently stroked the corner of the painting wall, although the ink had already dried out, but in the eyes of those who came after them, it was still as bright as the one just painted.

"Don't you even know? Let's go, let's go inside. ”

Strangely, there is no record on the Qingzheng score.

Now, even Zuo Qiu Yu looks ignorant, it seems that this is really a secret realm.

The four of them cautiously walked along the road, although the fires on both sides were getting brighter and brighter, but their breathing was not hindered in the slightest.

Also, since it may be a place of sacrifice, ventilation is naturally no problem.

Thinking of this, the steps of the four of them were a little faster.

Along the way, I don't know how many turns I turned. But in front of the four people, there was still no door.

Although the corridor seemed to have no end, the four of them could feel that they should be going deeper and deeper into the ground.

Lin Mengya also looked at the murals on the surrounding walls carefully. If she didn't guess wrong, it should be about how the first generation of Great Elders abandoned their glory and wealth and devoted themselves to the medical Tao.

The mural is lifelike, as if the person's life is also coming to life.

Lin Mengya admired, but she was even more embarrassed.

If this great elder has knowledge, he will definitely be so angry by these unfilial descendants that he must die again.

"Ahead, there seems to be something."

Yu'an, who was walking in the front, suddenly called out in surprise.

Long Tianyu subconsciously protected Lin Mengya in his arms, for fear that she would have any mistakes.

The four of them couldn't help but walk faster, and finally, a hard stone door appeared in front of them.

"Is there a way to open it?"

Lin Mengya looked at Shimen, and her tone was inevitably a little excited.

They were already in the corridor, and they didn't know how long they had been walking. If I go any further, I'm afraid that these people will have to despair if they don't die of exhaustion.

Although, this stone door, smooth and hard. But somewhat, it's a hope to escape.

"You wait here, let's try."

After placing Lin Mengya, Long Tianyu followed the other two people and pushed the stone door hard.

However, the stone gate is afraid that it weighs more than 1,000 catties. Even if they exert their strength to eat, they can't shake half a point.

The three of them blushed, but Shimen still didn't change at all.

Standing there, Lin Mengya stared at the stone gate.

Inadvertently, in the small corner of the lower right corner of the stone gate, Lin Mengya saw a familiar mark.

After taking a few steps and squatting in the lower right corner of the stone gate, sure enough, a plum blossom-like pattern that she had long been familiar with appeared in her eyes.

Since it has been associated with the Kingdom of Heaven, this plum blossom pattern has appeared again and again.

Could it be that this pattern of plum blossoms is not just a symbolic pattern of the mother?

Plum blossoms, plum blossoms, why are they all plum blossoms?

For a moment, Lin Mengya fell into thought.

There is no doubt that this is a place of sacrifice, but it must have not been used for years. Otherwise, she and Zuo Qiu Yu should have some clues.

However, this stone door is difficult to open. The surroundings have been carefully surveyed by Long Tianyu and them, and they don't look like they have mechanisms.

hand, inadvertently touched the pattern of the plum blossom, but found that the plum blossom was loose.

"Come and see, it looks like there's a mechanism here!"

Lin Mengya's scream immediately made the three of them look at her.

She just wasted a little bit of strength and lifted the plum blossoms.

At this time, she saw that this plum blossom was more like a stone buckle that hid the mechanism.

In the next second, a boxy, small hole with the thickness of a little finger appeared in front of everyone.

"This could be a trap, you get out of the way, I'll try."

Long Tianyu volunteered, but no matter what method he used, Shimen still didn't move.

When he was at a loss, a plum blossom-like seal stretched out in front of him.

"Why don't you try this?"

Lin Mengya smiled brightly, which she suddenly remembered.

Before, after the old Taoist priest handed over this thing to her, for a while, she didn't think about what it was for.

If it weren't for the size of this small hole, it seemed to fit this seal very well, she couldn't remember it for a while.

Long Tianyu took her seal, just glanced at it, and then cautiously inserted it into the small hole.

There was a crisp sound of 'click', and the two compartments fit.

With a burst of heart-shaking sound of gear running-in, the stone gate actually rose from the ground.

The four of them looked at the door again apprehensively and excitedly.

Everything that can be touched is extremely frightening.

"It's—"

Behind the stone gate is a stone house that is surprisingly large.

A huge stone statue, at this moment, the facial features are already a little blurred. However, it can be vaguely discerned, this is the statue of the ancestor of all the medical Taos in the world, the king of medicine.

Underneath the stone statue is a desk that has accumulated a lot of dust, incense candles and the like, which have fallen full of cobwebs. It should have been many years, and no one came.

However, under the sacrificial table, two skeletons that had already dried their skin and flesh sat back to back on the futon.

The clothes on the two of them were already in tatters.

But Zuo Qiu Yu was very excited and ran over.

With a 'poof', he knelt in front of the two skeletons.

"Master! You... You're here, Master, and you're not filial! Unfilial piety! ”

Rarely, seeing Zuo Qiu Yu so grief-stricken, tears fell.

However, the three of them heard clearly. One of the bones is Zuo Qiu Yu's master.

"It turns out that Mr. Yuan is actually here. No wonder, His Majesty and the King of the County couldn't find the old man's body. ”

Yu'an also sighed and said with embarrassment.

However, it seems that there should be no mechanism here, Lin Mengya thought about it, and still asked Long Tianyu to take the seal down.

On the wall inside, there is a device that seems to be able to control the stone door.

Long Tianyu glanced at it and said with certainty that this place is not only used for sacrifices, but should also be used for refuge.

With a bang, the stone door closed again, but the hearts of the four people no longer had the original state of mind of fear and fear.

Zuo Qiu Yu was still crying there to make amends to his master, and Lin Mengya and the three of them were inconvenient to disturb, so they began to look at this huge stone room.

On the far right side of the stone chamber, there was a spiral staircase, and the three of them had always thought that there might be another exit.

But since it is for evacuation, that is, like the stone gate, the mechanism that opens should be inside the stone chamber.

In this way, the mood is not so urgent.

In the stone room, there are still some incense and candles and other offerings, and some have long been weathered into specimens of daily necessities.

Lin Mengya looked at the two skeletons, although now, they have become like this. But judging from their weathered posture, it doesn't look like they were mutilated to death.

When I got closer, I saw a cyan jade plaque under the bones of the cyan shirt on the left.

Lin Mengya picked it up and wiped the dust off the jade plate, a vigorous and powerful 'Shen' word, which was exceptionally clear.

"Look, what is this?"

Zuo Qiu Yu, who was crying bitterly, turned his head, but after seeing the jade plate in Lin Mengya's hand, he was stunned in place for a moment.

"It is! This is the token of the Great Elder! He never leaves his body, could it be that this one is the Great Elder? ”

The voice was so excited that it trembled, and even Lin Mengya was a little surprised.

The jade plaque in his hand was turned to the back, but it was a lifelike plum blossom pattern.

Could it be that the plum blossom is the symbol of the real Baicao Pavilion?

The Great Elder disappeared this year ago, and judging from the fact that the bones of the skeleton were withered and his clothes were damaged, the Great Elder was likely to die here in the end.

It's just that Zuo Qiu Yu's master, why is he here?

Everything is an unsolved mystery. Even Lin Mengya's smart head seems to be insufficient.

"Cousin Yu, don't be too sad. I think, your master and the great elder actually died here, don't you think, it's a little strange? ”

Lin Mengya carefully persuaded Zuo Qiuyu, and the other party gradually put away her tears.

Long Tianyu and Yu'an, taking advantage of this moment, had already inspected the entire stone room. Above the steps, there is another door, and you can also go out.

Since you can come and go freely here, why would the Great Elder and Zuo Qiu Yu's master still be buried here?

For a while, Lin Mengya couldn't find the answer to these two contradictions.

"I think about it, when Master disappeared before, in fact, he had already been plotted by traitors! Perhaps, the same is true of the Great Elders! ”
