Chapter 39: The Pit of Ten Thousand Bones
"I don't know, just now I inadvertently opened the mechanism, the ancestral hall floor flipped, and they all fell in,"
"You opened the mechanism?"
Ren Xiu nodded.
A trace of doubt flashed in the old ghost's cloudy eyes, his expression was thoughtful, and then his eyes lit up, and he said to Ren Xiu in a very surprised tone: "Since it was the mechanism you opened, that is to say, can you start it again?" ”
"What do you mean? Theoretically, it should work,"
"Great!"
The old ghost was shocked, took Ren Xiu's hand and strode towards the ruined ancestral hall.
Ren Xiu had never seen him show such an excited expression since he saw the old ghost for the first time.
"This is the original core location of the ancestral hall, Ren Xiu, how did you open the mechanism before, do it again!"
The old ghost and dozens of clansmen from the Shanghe tribe gathered around the ruins.
"You are the benefactor of our Shanghe tribe, to be honest, the ancestral hall mechanism can only be opened at a specific time of sacrifice, as for how to open it, it is different every time. The ancestral training of the Nian family records that only those who are lucky can open the ancestral hall of the Nian family! Where the Pisces Jade Pendant treasure is now, even I don't know. But I'm sure that there must be people with great luck among you and Nian Xiaoyi! ”
Sister Hua said:
"The treasure of the family belongs to the people of atmospheric luck!"
"That's right! Ren Xiu, you quickly activate the mechanism, we have been waiting for this day for three thousand years! ”
"I believe that the person with great luck is Ren Xiu!"
"That's right, he's a benefactor of the Shanghe tribe!"
The clansmen spoke one after another, urging Ren Xiu to hurry up.
Seeing the old ghost throwing a fiery look at Ren Xiu, Ren Xiu said helplessly:
"Well, you're asking me as an outsider to do this, so you're welcome!"
"Everybody step back and give up this space,"
When the clansmen heard this, they retreated.
"Bring this bag!"
Sister Hua handed Ren Xiu a bulging backpack.
Ren Xiu saw that the range was almost over, gathered the yang energy in his hand, and the praise value accumulated in his right palm of more than five thousand quickly disappeared by more than half, a full three thousand points, no more, no less.
The sound of gear snapping sounded.
Under the watchful eyes of the old ghost and others, the bluestone ground was once again flipped three hundred and sixty degrees.
When Ren Xiu opened his eyes again, it was dark all around.
Without his five fingers, bursts of cold wind that could blow up the marrow of a person blew up blew out of the deep dark passage ahead.
"What kind of place is this, how is it like the underworld!"
Ren Xiu opened the backpack given by Sister Hua, and inside was a flashlight and dry food and the like.
The strong light miner's lamp was lit, Ren Xiu took a closer look, this is a naturally formed hole, more than two meters high, built by the mountain, looking at the situation The cave in front of it is leading to the interior of Yushan Mountain, I don't know how far away.
Nian Xiaoyi and the three of them didn't know if they had already walked in.
"Xiao B! Xiao Ling! Wang Yun! ”
Ren Xiu shouted a few times, but there was no movement except for the echoes coming from the deep and dark cave.
"Forget it, Xiao Ling and Wang Yun are timid, with Xiao Yi following, they probably have already walked in,"
The floor of the cave was concave and convex, and Ren Xiu cautiously groped for the stone wall and walked forward.
After more than half an hour, Ren Xiu confirmed that there were no other strange beasts in this passage, and his feet sped up, and he silently calculated in his heart that he had walked nearly five kilometers away, and he had not yet reached the end!
"What the hell is this meowing place, how can it be so far away!"
When he was in the Shanghe tribe, Ren Xiu observed Yushan, although the peak is very majestic and tall, but it is a little strange that it has not reached the end after walking a few kilometers inside the mountain!
"I'm Cao Nima!"
Ren Xiu burst into a foul mouth, and suddenly found that an ear piercing suddenly appeared on the left side of the cave passage.
There was no warning, and if it weren't for his quick reaction, he would have almost fallen in.
Touching the edge of the stone wall and looking inside, Ren Xiu was stunned.
The position he was standing in was actually in mid-air, and inside it was a huge mountain depression.
The range of the strong light miner's lamp can reach more than 1,000 meters, just enough to see the bottom of the cave.
This is not the place that makes Ren Xiu demented, the empty huge cave is even higher than the top rock, and there is a purple spark shining below, if you don't look carefully, you think that the starry sky in the sky is suddenly reflected in the cave**.
"Ten Thousand Bone Pits?"
The miner's lamp shone through, and Ren Xiu took a closer look, and the reason why there was a faint spark inside was completely countless white bones.
The bones were densely packed and piled up layer by layer.
According to rough estimates, there are tens of thousands of corpses.
The bones of these dead bodies have been in the cave for many years, emitting sporadic phosphorus fire.
"It's so bizarre! Why are there so many bones in the ancestral hall of the Shanghe tribe? ”
"What's that?"
Ren Xiu was holding a miner's lamp, and when he saw the location of the edge of the corpse, an ancient box suddenly appeared.
The box is similar to the urn you usually see, but the exterior looks very historical.
"Urn? No, in ancient times, people who died were usually buried in coffins in the ground, and there was no cremation, go and see! ”
Ren Xiu quickly made a decision, planning to go over and open the box to take a look.
Maybe there's some treasure inside.
Along the edges of the four walls of the sunken cave that could only accommodate one person, Ren Xiu cautiously climbed the mountain rocks and walked towards the strange box.
"It's made of ebony,"
Soon, the quaint wooden box appeared in front of you.
Ren Xiu took a closer look to make sure that there were no other strange creatures around, in case a sudden attack came and fell into the Ten Thousand Bones Pit, it would be difficult to climb up again.
I thought that the ebony box would have a mechanism or something, but I didn't expect Ren Xiu to gently press the bulge on it.
The wooden box was quickly opened.
A burst of dazzling golden light suddenly burst out of the ebony box!
In an instant, the dark and deep cavern was reflected by golden light as if it were day, as if a sun was blocked inside the box.
Ren Xiu's eyes were almost blinded.
Hurry up and close your eyes tightly, being illuminated by this super light, it won't take a second for a person to become blind.
After a breath, Ren Xiu covered his eyes with his hands and slowly narrowed a gap.
After confirming that the golden light was gradually weakening, he pretended to have the courage to open his eyes completely.
The golden light dazzled for a moment, and then quickly became silent.
Inside the ebony box, empty, there was nothing.
"Why, could it be a treasure like the Night Pearl, there should be something too, but why is it empty?"
"I'm Cao!"
Ren Xiu couldn't help but burst into foul language again.
He couldn't help it.
Because Ren Xiu suddenly found that there was a circle of golden light around his ring finger.
