Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Ancient Cave of the Forbidden Land

I was confused, but the point on the map was in the forbidden land, and it wasn't far from us.

Now I don't know the terrain and location of the forbidden land, but from the route we took in and went, I have a general impression in my mind, and the deviation will not be too big.

Seeing that I was hesitant, my mother hinted to me and said, "There is still one day and one night until tomorrow, Xiaoyue has me to take care of you, and you can come back at noon and be fine!" ”

As long as we are not afraid of the extreme cold, the forbidden land is a safe house for us, and the five people who left just now will also help, so the problem is not too big.

What I hesitated was that my daughter-in-law wouldn't let me go, and I deliberately hid the map.

If it weren't for my daughter-in-law getting along with me day and night, at my age, as long as I have a person in my heart, then the whole world is her.

Every first love is a face that a person can never forget for a lifetime. Fortunately, I am in love with my wife.

So when I think about these things, I think about whether it will hurt my daughter-in-law.

Seeing that I was hesitating, Li Lin interjected beside me and said, "Brother Ding Ning, that place is likely to hide the secret of the forbidden land, and it would be a pity to miss it." ”

I touched my daughter-in-law's hair, gritted my teeth and said to my mother: "Li Lin and I will go over and have a look, and strive to come back before dawn. ”

It's impossible for the dark wizard to collude with the Sakura Kingdom, so there are only two groups of people who want to disadvantage us at the moment. Judging from Zhang Si's transformation into a Gu corpse, the three villages should have been infiltrated by dark wizards, not an independent party.

As for Zhang Si and Chen Shuqing, their sudden death is estimated to have nothing to do with the dark wizard.

Now I don't want to guess, so I brought some dry food and left Ermao and the bow and crossbow to my mother.

When someone approaches, Ermao is more alert than a person, and can give an early warning at the first time, which helps a lot. Li Lin also kept the five arrows he made.

Li Lin's flashlight opened a large aperture, and the irradiation distance was not far, but the range was very large, and it was bright within ten meters.

On the way, I didn't look at the map, I relied on the composition in my head and got an approximate range.

The forbidden land is not wide, but it is very long, close to Qingshui Village in the north, and behind Chenjia Village in the south, and it is half a kilometer to Chenjia Village, which is the road leading to the town.

When the town built a dirt road, it was the people of the three villages who interfered, so the road did not enter the village, and now my father donated more than 1.5 million yuan, and the road was finally given through the town.

The matter of breaking the dragon line, it can be said that no one can stop it, and it is a foregone conclusion.

After all, it is a new society now, and it will not compromise with the villagers like in those years.

Li Lin and I walked about two kilometers to the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the back mountain from the village, the entire ridge is arched and dangerous, but the circle below the mountain is not visible.

When I got closer now, I found that the entire ridgeline at the foot of the peak was extremely smooth, and it was straight dozens of meters up, as if it had been split by someone with a knife.

When we arrived, there were few trees, and by the starlight overhead, we could roughly determine our location, and compared it with the map, we were sure that the place marked on it was at the foot of the peak.

After determining the location, we walked forward for about 500 meters, and in the open space in front of us, there were some huge stone bars scattered horizontally, which felt like a building ruin.

Some of the stone strips are broken, some are still very intact, and if you look closely, there is no writing or carving on them, but you can see the chisel marks made by the steel chisel.

I also took out my flashlight, turned it on, and shone it up the mountain, only to see that about ten meters above the ground, there were several iron chains crisscrossing and tying nine black stone tablets.

Under the flashlight, you can only roughly see the lines on it, and it is impossible to determine whether it is the text or the natural stone pattern of the stone.

Li Lin's eyes were sharp, and he found that there was a cave seven or eight meters away from the stone stele, and the iron chain was protruding from it.

The steles hung in mid-air, and I don't know if they were deliberate or if someone pushed them down.

However, there are nine stone tablets, which may be the nine tablets of the demon sealed by the five men in black. I couldn't see anything clearly from below, so I wondered if I could climb up and take a look.

We have dragon slaying knives and chisels in our hands, and the cliffs of ten meters are not a big problem, which is in the eyes of parents in the city, it is a matter that will tremble in the throat, but in the eyes of children in the countryside, it is not a big deal.

After discussing with Li Lin, I decided that I would go first. He has a lot of strength, but he also weighs a lot, and climbing such a high place is not as advantageous as me.

I pulled out the dragon slashing knife, took his chisel as well, moved my wrist, and tried to use the chisel to slam the rock wall, it was not as easy as I thought, a little laborious, but it pierced more than five inches, and it was able to hang me.

The dragon slashing knife has a blade, and the tip of the knife is relatively thin, which is relatively easy, and it is also safer to turn the blade slightly sideways after inserting it.

Both knives are fine, the rest is to test my arm strength. This kind of thing is no joke, if you lose your strength halfway, the result of not being able to go up or down is to fall down and die.

After moving my arm, I put the flashlight into the clasp on my shoulder and asked Li Lin to be careful around.

When I started to climb, it was relatively smooth, and after climbing about five meters, my hands were a little sore, so I stuck the chisel under my feet and stood on it to rest for a few minutes.

However, just as I was about to continue climbing, there was a sudden noise in the cave above my head, followed by the iron chain being pulled by something, and the nine stone tablets were quickly hoisted towards the cave.

Someone? Or is it a trap?

As soon as the chain moved, I didn't dare to continue climbing, clinging to the rock wall, for fear that stones would roll down from it.

The force that pulled the chain was very strong, and the distance of five or six meters was pulled up in less than a minute.

Li Lin kept shining a flashlight on the cave, but he still didn't see anything, and as soon as the movement stopped, he urged me to hurry up.

I'm five or six meters above the ground now, and I won't die if I fall on flat ground at this height, but there are all stones underneath, and it depends on luck whether I die or not.

The sound of dragging in the cave quickly died down, and I pulled out the chisel, inserted it steadily, and switched to my left hand. After climbing to about seven meters, I used my dragon slasher to dig a few holes in the rock wall to settle down. When Li Lin arrives here, he can rest if he loses his strength.

And the height of seven meters, there is no tool to assist, and no one can touch it, but in order to prevent it from making a way, I only dug a few.

It took me nearly twenty minutes to climb up the road eight or nine meters behind, and as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the cave, I lit a jade lamp and put it on the ground.

The cave does not look like it is natural, I swept it around with a flashlight, the passage is very straight and deep, and there are no chains and stone tablets within 100 meters, but the stones on the ground are polished very smooth, so it can be seen that this kind of drag is not only today.

After making sure that it was safe for the time being, I went to the entrance of the cave, told Li Lin to retreat, and threw the dragon slaying knife and chisel down.

Eight or nine meters up, there is a foothold I dug up, and he won't have any problems coming up. Seeing that he had picked up the dragon slayer and chisel, I turned back to stare at the cave.

Judging from the abrasion marks on the ground, it feels like it is more likely to be controlled by the machine.

But the speculation is that the machine bracket is not valid at all, the cave looks horizontal, there is no inclination, and the soft iron chain is definitely impossible to push the stone tablet out.

I was suspicious, and I didn't dare to be careless.

Li Lin climbed very fast, and climbed up in less than seven minutes. As soon as he came up, he couldn't wait to go in, but I pulled him back, and seeing that he still had the strength, he asked him to dig a few pits suitable for grasping on the right side of the hole, preferably two meters away.

After he dug it, I also dug a stone pit on the left side that was suitable for my height to grasp, and only after I had finished it did I explain to him: "There is a cliff below, and if you encounter danger, the hole you just dug out is a place to avoid danger, don't be mistaken." ”

As the saying goes, it's easy to go up the mountain and hard to go down, even if the dragon slashing knife and chisel are in the hands of one person in a panic, thinking about going down doesn't mean that you can go down in the blink of an eye.

Li Lin hummed, and the two of them turned off the flashlight and walked into the grotto with the soul-destroying lamp.

After a straight-line distance of more than 100 meters, the cave showed a bend, turning sharply at 90 degrees, extending in the direction of Qingshui Village.

At this point, I can be sure that it is not a machine bracket, because there is no machine bracket that can pull out and push nine stone tablets of more than 200 catties out and advance, and it will also turn around.

Walking inside, something similar to writing appeared on the rock wall, which was more complicated than the witch script, let alone reading it, and it was not easy to separate them one by one.

We don't have cameras and can only ignore them.

After walking more than fifty meters in the direction of Qingshui Village, a cave appeared in front of it, with a lot of space, but it was slightly lower than the passage.

Li Lin and I sped up our speed, and only when we reached the entrance of the cave did we see the situation in the cave more than ten meters away.

The chamber is very flat, almost more than 400 square meters, in a circle, and the dome is also like an inverted hemisphere, which is full of the kind of writing in the passage.

In the middle of the cave is a pool of about 200 square meters, and under the light of the soul extinguishing lamp, the water in the pool is pale green, and it feels very deep.

There is a stone ridge at the bottom of the passage, and a groove has been ground out in the middle, so it can be seen that the nine stone tablets have been dragged here.

But the cave was empty, everything was clear at a glance, and there was no trace of the stone tablet.

As soon as Li Lin got below, he wanted to separate from me, but I pulled him back. The stones in the cave are all bluestone, the color is a little dull, I walked to the edge of the pool, touched it with my hand, there are water stains.

The stele was dragged underwater.

Li Lin touched it with his hand and asked me, "Brother Ding Ning, should we go into the water!" ”

Being able to drag nine stone tablets into the water, that's not something we can deal with.

I am also very curious in my heart, this curiosity surpasses Li Lin, after all, whether it is Yin Village, Yin River or Forbidden Land, it is related to my life and death.

But the text here, even if we risk it, will not be able to read it well.

After thinking about it, I said, "Now is the wrong time, wait until next time I buy a camera and come back and take pictures of it for the museum experts to see." ”

Li Lin was reluctant, but he also felt that my words made sense, and there was no need to take risks for something he didn't know.

But just as we turned to leave, there was a sudden commotion in the pool, and when we turned around, we saw a boulder rising in the middle.

When the pool was drenched, two lines of ancient characters appeared on it.
