Chapter 261: The Secret of the Forbidden Land
The old man suddenly knelt down, which caught Jiao Yang a little off guard.
"What are you doing here? Hurry up. Jiao Yang reached out to help the old man Lu.
Old man Lu knelt on the ground and said: "I am apologizing for my son-in-law, on the other hand, I hope you can escape here with Lu Shang, this child is still young, and he can't just be abandoned here in this life." ”
"Old man, you really think highly of me, you look at my injuries, it's a blessing to be able to save my life, and I estimate that there are groups of Lu family disciples searching for me outside, and I can't do anything about Lu Shang's affairs." Jiao Yang refused.
What happened to the Lu family Jiao Yang could only feel sorry for Lu Shang's father and son, but he didn't want to get involved in the grievances and hatred between father and son and brothers.
In the end, Lu Shang and Old Man Lu are also members of the Lu family, and Jiao Yang has a problem in his heart and doesn't want to help them.
Lu Shang pulled his father and said, "Dad, get up, I won't leave you alone, and Lu Yang has caused so much harm to this gentleman, I don't have the face to ask Mr. Jiao to help us." ”
"You foolishness, what is the future of living in this cave every day? Do you want your mother to die in vain? Don't you want to avenge your mother? Old man Lu was very excited, his tone was full of hatred, and he no longer had any family affection for Lu Yang.
Lu Shang pursed his lips, why didn't he want to take revenge, but now that his martial arts have been abolished, he is no different from ordinary people, what can he take revenge?
Old man Lu was silent when he saw his son bowing his head and wanted to beg Jiao Yang again.
Jiao Yang took the first step to stop the other party from speaking, and said, "I'll talk about this matter when I'm injured, I'll think about it carefully." ”
Seeing Jiao Yang's resolute tone, Old Man Lu shook his head silently, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
But disappointment is disappointment, it's man-made, as long as Jiao Yang sees his sincerity.
Three adult men, one hare, some not enough.
"Mr. Jiao, you should eat these two thighs." Old man Lu tore off two roasted rabbit legs and handed them to Jiao Yang as if flattering.
Jiao Yang is not pretending to be polite, repairing injuries requires nutrition, a lot of nutrition.
After eating and drinking, Jiao Yang officially looked at the cave.
There are stone beds, stone benches, stone tables, and many exquisite carved decorations in the cave, which are carefully carved by skilled craftsmen at a glance.
"It's strange, you are hiding in this kind of place, Lu Yang didn't find you?" Jiao Yang asked curiously.
"This cave was dug out by the ancestors, and few people know about it after the passage of history, and the entrance to this cave is very hidden, and it is absolutely impossible to enter if you don't know the mechanism." Old man Lu said confidently.
"Your ancestors were cave people? A cave is so exquisite. Jiao Yang said casually.
"Mr. Jiao doesn't know, the location of this cave is in the Lu family's forbidden land, which was originally a bureau for the disciples of the forbidden land, but since my father's generation, the rules of the forbidden land are no longer valued, and this place has been abandoned." Old man Lu said.
Forbidden? It seems that there are similar ethnic rules in the Miaozhai area.
"Then can I go and see the forbidden land of the Lu family." Jiao Yang said tentatively.
He was very curious about what kind of secrets this kind of big family would have, the last time he faced the forbidden land of Miao Village, he always had a special feeling, and this feeling made Jiao Yang always care about it.
"This ......" Old man Lu hesitated, after all, it was a secret that his family had guarded for thousands of years, and it was somewhat inconvenient to bring an outsider to visit.
"It's inconvenient, forget it, I'll just say it casually." Jiao Yang saw that the other party was hesitant and hurriedly said.
As soon as Old Man Lu heard it: "No, no, no, there is nothing inconvenient, the forbidden land has been abandoned for decades, and it is not a secret, so I will take you to visit." ”
As he spoke, Old Man Lu patted his ass and got up, followed closely by Jiao Yang and Lu Shang.
The three of them came to a stone wall through a long tunnel, and Old Man Lu reached out and pressed a raised ashlar stone.
Thundered!
The stone wall in front of the three of them shook violently twice, and then slowly opened.
"This is the forbidden place of our Lu family, and it is also the place where the ancestors are buried." Old man Lu pointed to this col and said.
Jiao Yang walked out of the cave and looked around, the layout here looked somewhat similar to the forbidden land of Miao Village, all of which were built in the mountain col, and the surrounding environment was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It's just that the forbidden land of the Lu family has not been taken care of for decades, the weeds have grown as tall as people, and the trees in the col are also very dense and you can't see the whole picture.
"I'm going to make you laugh, there's not been a visit here since my dad died, and the annual sacrifice is only held in the clan tower, so it's overgrown with weeds." Old man Lu said ashamedly.
Jiao Yang walked in front and said slowly, "I'm afraid your Lu family will have to come here to worship in the future." ”
Old man Lu and Lu Shang subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”
Jiao Yang smiled slightly and said, "Because your family's clan tower has collapsed under the battle between me and Lu Yang. ”
"Uh......" Old man Lu and Lu Shang were dumbfounded.
The father and son glanced at each other, their eyes were full of helplessness, and the things left by the ancestors were destroyed like this.
"You don't hate me?" Jiao Yang asked.
Lu Shang smiled bitterly: "It's just a tower, and it's not Mr. Jiao's intention, how can I blame you." ”
Jiao Yang raised his eyebrows, Lu Shang, this kid is really different from his brother, and it is not impossible to have the ability to help him.
Deep in the col is a ruin, more than half of which has collapsed.
"Huh?" Jiao Yang sighed lightly.
"What's wrong? Did Mr. Jiao find anything? Lu Shang asked curiously.
Jiao Yang was stunned and looked at the huge stone tablet in the depths of the ruins, this stone tablet was exactly the same as the stone tablet in Miao Village, and the text on it was only slightly different.
"Your Lu family has guarded this stone tablet for generations, do you know the secret in it?" Jiao Yang asked.
"Secret? A stone tablet is just a secret. Lu Shang said indifferently.
Old man Lu said: "It's been too long, and what has been handed down is only a few words, the ancestral rules are just to let our descendants guard the forbidden land well, and don't let outsiders enter, this place has been investigated by the ancestors of the Lu family and there is nothing abnormal, so it was only in my generation that I gradually gave up the responsibility of guarding the forbidden land." ”
"Could it be that Mr. Jiao knows the secrets of our forbidden land?" Old man Lu asked nervously.
Jiao Yang shook his head and said: "I don't know your secret, it's just that I went to the forbidden land of Miao Village not long ago, and the scale of their forbidden land is similar to that of yours here, and the clan rules are similar, all of them let the disciples guard the forbidden land for generations, and the Great Wall has been built around the forbidden land." ”
"The Great Wall?" Old man Lu's eyes lit up and said, "There are also many fortifications around our forbidden land, but most of them have been demolished. ”
Jiao Yang touched his chin, his brows furrowed, and he felt that there seemed to be many unspeakable secrets behind this forbidden place.
"Except for your Lu family, are there any forbidden places for the other three major families?" Jiao Yang asked.
"Yes! Not only the three major families, but also several powerful sects also have their own forbidden places, but this is normal, most of the forbidden places are ancestral tombs and the like, there is nothing strange about it. ”
Old man Lu felt that the stone tablets, fortifications, and so on were all built to protect the ancestral tomb, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Jiao Yang didn't ask any further, but said, "Some people have been to your forbidden place recently, and the number of times is quite frequent. ”
"Impossible, right? It's several kilometers away from the main city of the Lu family, who would come here with nothing to do. Old man Lu said.
"You see the dust on the stele has been wiped clean, and some plants here have been trampled to death, and this weed can not be trampled on once or twice." Jiao Yang pointed to a small grass under the stone tablet and said.
The martial arts are definitely not weak, the light skills must be flying on the grass, and the other party's purpose is very clear that he is coming for the stele, and he directly stepped on the surrounding weeds and came directly to the stele.
Could it be that the person who came was Lu Yang?
If this is the case, they can't stay here for long, and the three of them have stepped on the weeds all the way, leaving obvious traces.
If Lu Yang comes to the stele again, he will definitely find clues here, and then the soldiers will really be over.
"Let's go, let's go back." Jiao Yang said immediately.
"Okay, Mr. Jiao, you and Shang'er go back first, and I'll see if I can catch another rabbit and eat it at night." Old man Lu said.
"No need, clean up, let's get out of here immediately!" Jiao Yang said.
