Just when I was shocked by the fineness of the chain, the Taoist priest let out an abrupt cry: "Ah! Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, these, these seem to be incantations! ”

"Incantations?" I didn't know what the Taoist priest was talking about, so I looked at him, only to find that he was shaking his hand and rubbing the pattern carved on an iron ring.

"Do you know these patterns?" I asked again.

The Taoist priest took a deep breath to calm the shock in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "These are not simple decorative patterns, Dao Ye was fortunate enough to see some of them back then, this is an ancient and mysterious spell, even earlier than the origin of the Witch Dao!" ”

"What? Earlier than the origin of the Witchcraft? "Now I was completely shocked, although I don't have a deep understanding of witchcraft and Taoism, but I still have a general concept.

Dao, does not refer to the origin of Taoism, but the origin of the Tao, that is, 7,000 years ago in the middle and late of the new era, the legend of the Yellow River surprised the dragon horse with a figure on its back, Luoshui appeared with a text on the back of the turtle, the king of Fuxi Guanhe Tuluo Shu created the innate gossip, that is, the earliest origin of the Book of Changes. The beginning of the formation of the Tao is at this time.

As for 'Wu', the legend is earlier than 'Dao', according to archaeological excavations, excavated in Huaihua, Hunan Hongjiang Gaomiao culture, it can be speculated that there is 'Wu' characteristics of agricultural sacrifice culture, more than 7,400 years ago. In other words, more than 7,400 years ago, witch culture has already formed a certain scale.

How many years ago was a spell that predates the Witch Path? It's unimaginable.

The Taoist priest looked excited, and I was still puzzled, so I asked him: "Since it is something earlier than Wu Dao, how did you know it?" ”

"It's a long story, these patterns appeared in the Ten Thousand Corpses Buddha Cave ten years ago, and the Taoist was fortunate to see them at that time, and I heard the old guy and a few old coffins in his companions talk about it!" When he said this, the Taoist priest saw that I was still confused, so he patted his head and said, "Daoist forgot, you are not a person in this Tao, and it is normal that you have not heard of that big event." ”

"Ten Thousand Buddhas Corpse Cave? Is it a place, I panic when I hear the name! ”

"Of course, ten years ago, the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave incident that shocked the entire Xuanmen and killed countless predecessors was almost the most terrifying change since the last century, shocking both at home and abroad, in addition to the local people, many famous missionaries also died, alas, but if the old guy hadn't seen the opportunity early, I'm afraid the Taoist would have been in it."

"That's amazing!" I gasped, the old guy in the Taoist priest's mouth should be referring to his master, I don't know what the concept of the so-called Xuanmen is, but the Taoist priest is already awesome in my eyes, the Taoist master, that is definitely a big character, even his master dare not go deep into the place, how terrifying should it be?

I really wanted to ask the Taoist priest what the 'Ten Thousand Buddhas Corpse Cave' incident was about, but the current situation was obviously not suitable for small talk, so I changed the question.

"Why, is there anything special about this incantation?"

The Taoist priest was still looking at the symbols on the chain, and at this time his mood had calmed down, and his face changed from excitement to solemnity, "After the old man and the other old guys observed the runes, they thought that this might be a kind of evil suppression rune, and later facts also proved that this guess was completely correct, because the runes engraved in the corpse cave were destroyed by some of the people of the Heavenly Witch Sect, and then the entire corpse cave underwent earth-shattering changes, with countless casualties. Now that this kind of spell has appeared here again, Dao Ye is worried......"

"Damn, won't you, is there also a terrifying thing suppressed here?"

"It's hard to say, I think we should be careful, especially these black iron chains, there must not be any damage." The Taoist priest told me that I naturally wouldn't destroy that thing when I was full, and with the material of this chain, I couldn't do anything if I wanted to.

There was only a limited amount of space to move around here, and the area under our feet was pitch black, and the light from the torches could not shine through, but we could barely see the situation within ten meters. I found that the whole inside of the giant tree was filled with a large number of black iron chains, but the inner wall of the tree was very smooth, and there was no place to stay, and if you wanted to go down or up, you could only go to the core in the center, because it was full of iron chains, and it was very dense, and you could climb with the help of iron chains.

The tree wall is about a dozen meters away from the core in the center, which is not far, but considering the mystery and importance of the iron chain, I am still a little worried, if I accidentally provoke something, with the current situation of the two of us, we will definitely die.

The Taoist priest looked at it for a while and said that it didn't matter, as long as the spell was not damaged, there would be no problem, and now the question that needs to be considered is whether it is up or down. I told the Taoist priest that our current position is at the lower end of the tree, and it may take a long time to climb up, so it is better to look down first, if we don't find the underworld, we can go up again, and if we are lucky, we can find an exit at the top of the tree, and we can leave the sinkhole directly.

After hearing this, the Taoist priest patted his thigh and said, "Okay, don't delay the time, hurry up after finishing the work, the Taoist always feels that this place is very evil, and something big may happen if you stay for a long time." ”

As soon as the matter was decided, we got into action. The third child was huge, like a calf, but the chain was single, and he couldn't go down, so I told him to guard the hole in the tree, so that the leeches would not climb in, and we might have to get out of here later.

The Taoist priest planted the lighted torch at the edge of the tree hole to serve as a beacon in our darkness, and when we were ready, we set off.

Although the chain is very thick, after all, it is very old, and at first I was worried that we would not break it if we climbed up, but when the Taoist priest actually went up, I realized that I was thinking too much.

The Taoist priest is better than me, crawling in front as a pioneer, after he climbed up, the chain only shook slightly, I breathed a sigh of relief, and climbed up, and the two of them cautiously climbed to the opposite side. The closer we got to the core, the chains gathered around it, and the denser and denser they became, until we came to the core, and I couldn't see the true face of the so-called core, and I was immediately horrified.

It was a cylindrical stone pillar with a diameter of about two meters, and many protruding stone buckles were surrounded by the pillar, through which all the black iron chains were fastened to the stone pillar.

What struck me was not the stone pillars, nor the chains, but the numerous reliefs that surrounded the stone pillars, in which I saw the incomparably large inferno tree, full of innumerable fibrous roots, with branches and leaves, and covered with corpse cocoons; There are also countless caverns with bones, sinkholes, and the vast underground forest at the bottom. What I can't believe the most is that in these reliefs, in addition to seeing these things that I have personally experienced in the past two days, I also see some incredible 'people', people with three eyes.
