Chapter 402: The Battle of Yaoguang Aya 11
Dugu Jin's face quickly became serious, "Originally, I came in with you, but when I woke up, I found Ji Zi'an and Ji Wuxin unconscious not far from me. If there were no accidents, Ziqingke must have also come in. I just don't know if the other four of your friends have come in. ”
Cang Wunian frowned and shook his head, "They shouldn't have come in, we tried to contact them earlier, but we didn't get any response, and there was such a big movement here after the appearance of the Akajiri horse monkey, if they were around here, they should have come a long time ago." ”
Hearing this, Hua Chengcheng blinked, and suddenly his face changed, "It's not good, we have to find Yaoguang Aya quickly." Zi Qingke didn't show up when there was such a big movement, which means that he must be secretly observing, and wants us to be pawns to clear the danger for him, and then he can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
"If he suddenly appears to fight us when we find the location of Bright Aya, then the situation will be very unfavorable for us!"
As soon as Dugu Jin said this, Dugu Jin couldn't care about his tired body, Huo Ran got up and said: "There must be a secret at the end of this cave, and the sarcophagus must not have appeared there in vain. ”
Hua Chengcheng nodded, and when her eyes drooped, she found that she was still holding the turquoise bead in her hand, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and handed the bead to Dugu Jin and said, "Senior Dugu, this thing will be returned to you." ”
Who knew that Dugu Jin shook his head, stretched out his hand and pushed back the hand of the painting Allure, "Didn't I say before, if you can restore my appearance, I will definitely thank you." I don't have any rare treasures on me, and I'll give you this 10,000-year-old green lotus seed. ”
"Ten Thousand Years of Green Lotus Seeds?" Hua Chengcheng was slightly stunned, and subconsciously swept his gaze towards Cang Wunian, only to find that his face was also full of doubts.
Dugu Jin smiled, "This lotus seed was inadvertently obtained by the ancestor of my Dugu family, the lotus flower is not stained by the mud, and it has an inseparable connection with the Buddha, so this 10,000-year-old green lotus seed later became the carrier of my Biluo Immortal Sect's 'Nightmare Technique', in order to be able to dissipate or deter the anger in the 'Nightmare Technique'." ”
"Aren't you immortal cultivators all dedicated to the Dao, how can you also practice Buddhism?" asked Cang Wunian with a raised eyebrow.
"Different paths lead to the same end, and even the Emperor of Heaven still claims to be a disciple of the Buddha! What are we, mortals who have not yet become immortals? It is said that it is easy to become an immortal, but it is difficult to become a Buddha. If you can become a Buddha, why bother cultivating immortals. Dugu Jin said with a smile.
Hearing this, the painting Allure City handed the turquoise beads to Dugu Jin again, and said: "Senior Dugu, no matter what, this thing is too precious, I paint the skin for you just a gesture, I really don't deserve such a valuable thing." ”
Dugu Jin also pushed her hand back again, "I, Dugu Jin, have always been a promise, and I don't like to owe favors to others." Your gesture is a great favor to me that you will never understand, since I would think of giving you this 10,000-year-old green lotus seed, it means that this thing is destined for you.
"Maybe this thing can really exert its power in your hands, and besides, maybe it won't be long before I have other things to entrust to you, so this green lotus seed should be regarded as a thank you gift in advance." ”
Seeing that Dugu Jin was so resolute, it was difficult to refrain from painting Allure, so he had to put away the green lotus seeds, "Then thank you Dugu senior, if Dugu senior has other instructions, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best." ”
"Hmm......" At this time, a weak muffled snort sounded in the ears of Hua Allure.
Hua Chengcheng looked down, and it turned out that Ji Zi'an had woken up and was struggling to get up with a painful face.
With a joy in his heart, Hua Chengcheng hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support him, "Ji Gongzi, it's great that you're awake, we're going to go to the deepest part of this cave to have a look, I'm worried that you and Miss Ji will have no one to take care of!"
Ji Zi'an covered his chest with his hands, leaned on the edge of the stone wall, gasped a few times hard, and said in a low voice: "I can still hold on, I'll go with you." ”
"This ......" Hua Chengcheng hesitated a little, raised his head and cast an inquiring look at Cang Wunian.
Cang Wunian groaned for a moment and nodded, "That's fine, bring Brother Ji and Wuxin with you, lest it be unfavorable for Ziqingke to come here." ”
Painting Allure nodded and helped Ji Zi'an up, Cang Wunian walked to her and took Ji Zi'an, putting his arm on his shoulder, while Painting Allure came to Ji Wuxin's side, and also put Ji Wuxin's arm on his shoulder according to Cang Wunian's appearance.
The five of them walked slowly towards the end of the cave.
It didn't take long for them to come to the stone steps where Ji Zi'an, Ji Wuxin, and Dugu Jin saw the sarcophagus before.
At this time, there were naturally no sarcophagi and steles on the stone steps, but instead there were broken stones and dust from stones.
Painting Allure and Cang Wunian looked at the stone steps with only two stairs left and right, and finally found that this looked like a very ordinary stone staircase, and the surrounding area was clean except for stones, and nothing looked like a mechanism or a secret passage.
"It doesn't seem to be anything special here, is it true that this is just the old nest of the Akajiri horse monkey?" said Hua Allure suspiciously.
Dugu Jin was also quite surprised, when she saw the sarcophagus at first, she thought it was the coffin of Shenyu's body, even if it wasn't, the sarcophagus should also have another mystery, even if the sarcophagus didn't, the stele should also have something special.
But she didn't expect the sarcophagus and the stele to turn into a puddle of rubble because of the Akajiri horse monkey, and she suddenly felt that everything had become nowhere to be found again.
Cang Wunian's eyes condensed slightly, he shifted his gaze to the surrounding stone walls, and after looking around, he found that the stone wall at the end of this cave was a little different from the previous stone wall, and the ground was also a little different.
When he first came in, he also saw that the three stone walls on the left and right sides of the cave and at the top were very smooth, as if they had been quietly polished, even if there were uneven holes in many places, but it was obvious that they were newly made.
But thinking of the state of the Akajiri horse monkey at that time, it is not difficult to guess that those holes were caused by the anger of the Akajiri horse monkey attacking Ji Zi'an and the three of them. However, the ground of the cave is really potholed, just like a general cave, very uneven.
"Brother Wunian, what have you discovered?" Ji Zi'an asked softly when he saw Cang Wunian thoughtfully.
Cang Wunian stretched out his finger and pointed to the stone wall in front of him, "Have you noticed that the stone wall here is a little different from the outside? The stone wall outside is very smooth, and although the stone wall here is also smooth, it seems to have deliberately polished edges and corners,"
When Cang Wunian said this, the three of them subconsciously raised their eyes, and after a closer look, they did find that there were indeed many strange places on the stone wall in front of them, just like the kind of traces left by a piece of paper that was neatly folded and then spread out.
It's just that since this is the end of the cave, the light is slightly dimer than outside, and everyone's attention has been focused on the stone steps and rubble before, so they didn't notice the special nature of this stone wall.
"But what does this mean?" Dugu Jin asked puzzled.
Cang Wunian didn't answer, but swept away all the rubble and dust on the stone steps with a fierce hand. Without the cover of gravel and dust, the surface of the stone steps is immediately visible.
I didn't look at it, but I was stunned when I saw the big guys -- what strange things were on this flat stone steps? The small round stones, black and white, looked like a constantly superimposed "mouth" character from the inside to the outside, and only a few small white dots in the middle were criss-crossed, and together with the "mouth" character outside them, it looked like a "Tian" character.
"This ...... It's not a game of Go, right?" Dugu Jin said with a little cry and laughter, pointing to the black and white round stones on the surface of the stone steps.
Cang Wunian shook his head, a little puzzled, "It's a bit like, but...... How can there be such a game?"
Hua Chengcheng stared at the scene in front of her and blinked a few times, and suddenly a feeling rose in her heart, as if the black and white pebbles on the stone steps were calling her.
She subconsciously helped Ji Wuxin, who was unconscious, to the side carefully, and then slowly walked towards the stone steps.
"Painting, what are you going to do?" Cang Wunian hurriedly stretched out a hand and grabbed her.
Hua Chengcheng looked back at him, then at the strange black and white stones on the ground, and said in a bit of confusion: "This pattern seems to be a river map." ”
"Hetu?" the three of them exclaimed in shock.
It's no wonder that the three of them were so surprised, Hetu, like Luoshu, are treasures left over from ancient times, and according to legend, Emperor Fuxi relied on these two treasures to create gossip.
And as we all know, the river map later fell into the hands of Dayu, and it is with its help that Dayu can get twice the result with half the effort when controlling the water.
However, the years have passed, and many things have been impossible to verify, and the only thing everyone knows is that Luo Shu has been passed down from generation to generation in the hands of Fuxi's descendants, but Hetu has long been missing.
In fact, it is not that the people present have not seen the pattern drawn on the river map, but this pattern appears on the stone steps at first glance, and the dense small dots make people look a little confused.
Now reminded by the painting of Allure, the three of them also came back to their senses after a short period of surprise, and carefully looked at the small dots on the stone steps.
It's no wonder that they think that these black and white stone patterns look like chess games, and that Go is not based on the changes of the river map.
"It seems that this must be the tomb of Shenyu, but I don't know what the small stones on the ground do, could it be ......" Dugu Jin stared at the stone steps and said with some uncertainty.
