Chapter Eighty-Three: The Sea of Bones
The topography of Phoenix Ridge is peculiar, the mountain ridge is surrounded by water on three sides, one side is connected with the mountain, the left and right sides of the mountain range are like the phoenix spreading its wings, the front end is like the head of the phoenix, the head is lowered and stretches into the Taotao River to drink water, the mountain behind is like a giant tail open, the whole Phoenix Meiling is like a phoenix, and its name also comes from this.
Zhang Xiaotian took Ziling around Phoenix Ridge a few times, but he didn't see any traces of the cemetery, and the two didn't know how to divide the gold and fix the holes, they just looked for it on the mountain, and after hundreds of millions of years of changes, even if there was a cemetery, there were no traces.
"Brother Tian!"
Ziling looked at Zhang Xiaotian, the latter understood what she meant, so he nodded, stretched out his hand to hold Ziling's waist, his soul telekinesis moved slightly, and the molecular structure of the mountain stone under the feet of the two became loose, and the two quickly entered the ground.
Dozens of meters below the mountain range is a huge space, it looks like a natural cave, and it has been artificially polished, and there are everlasting lights around, I don't know what kind of oil it is made of, and it has not been extinguished so far.
There are buildings in this underground world, but they are all only in their shapes, and although the houses have their shapes, they cannot be inhabited, because they are more than half as tall as ordinary house boys, and they are only carved out of stone, and there is no internal space.
The two walked through the strange building and found no useful information. Instead, a large number of human skeletons were seen at the back of the building, some of them sitting against the wall, and each skeleton was pitch-black, and there were pitch-black streamers in the light.
These people were apparently poisoned to death, and the poison was so strong that their bones became as hard as stone.
"It's likely that these people were construction workers, and after the engineering work, they were killed to prevent them from revealing the secrets of this place." Zhang Xiaotian frowned and said, shocked by the ruthlessness of the master here, looking at the number of these skeletons, it is estimated that there are thousands of people.
Ziling didn't say anything, because he didn't know what to say, because the deaths of these people were probably related to his father.
In addition to those exquisite sculptures, there are no coffins or anything useful in this area, even if Zhang Xiaotian goes underground, he does not find any underground caves, and there are no secret doors or other passages around the wall arms.
"Isn't this my mother's tomb?" Purple Bell's beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings and whispered to herself.
Suddenly, Ziling's body trembled, and she hurried to a skeleton, which was far away from the thousands of skeletons, and in the midst of the carved houses, with her back to the stone house, in front of which was a delicate stone tower.
The skeleton is pitch black, and he is also poisoned to death!
On the left ring finger of this skeleton is a delicate ring set with a sapphire.
Ziling looked at the ring, there was moisture surging in her eyes, she knelt in front of the skeleton with one leg, and her jade hand stretched out to grab the hand with the ring.
"Wait!" Zhang Xiaotian suddenly stopped Ziling and said: "The poison that this person took before his life was too domineering, even the bones became like iron and stone, after so many years, no one turned into ashes, but the former toxicity is so strong, if you touch it, it is likely to be poisoned." ”
"This ring belongs to my father, and this skeleton is ......" Ziling choked up, apparently identifying this person as her father.
"The skeleton is too toxic, it's better not to touch it, it's important to find your mother first." Zhang Xiaotian sighed, he really didn't expect Ziling's father to be poisoned here.
Before, he thought that Ziling's father was afraid that these workers would leak their secrets and poison them, but he didn't expect that her father was also poisoned, so who would be the person who poisoned him?
Could it be Ziling's mother, but why did she poison her man, was it also to leak the secret?
"Impossible, my mother is a gentle and kind person, it is impossible to poison so many people, let alone kill my father."
Ziling also seemed to think of this, and muttered in a low voice, she was already bleeding too much from the injury, her face was pale, and now she was even paler, and her delicate body was shaking, as if she couldn't even stand.
"Huh?" Listen to the school bag
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaotian snorted softly.
"Brother Tian, what have you discovered?"
At this time, Ziling is very sensitive, and just wants to prove that the person who poisoned her is not her mother, and she doesn't even want the skeleton in front of her to be her father, and even this underground space doesn't want to be her mother's last place.
"Isn't there something special about this ring finger?" Zhang Xiaotian asked suddenly.
Ziling looked at it and didn't find anything wrong, so she shook her head slightly.
"Have you ever noticed that those skeletons almost have one thing in common, that is, their fists are clenched, and even if they are not grasped, they are curled into hooks, which is likely related to the pain of their death, and the same is true of the skeleton in front of them, but only the ring finger wearing the ring is straight."
"Maybe... Maybe it's because you can't bend it with a ring, no, when my dad was wearing a ring, I didn't see anything abnormal about him, and if he couldn't bend his fingers with a ring, my father wouldn't be wearing it, Brother Tian, do you mean the ring finger pointing? ”
"Yes, although the hand bones are on the ground, the ring finger is pointing to the stone tower in front of you."
The stone tower is about two meters high, divided into nine layers, each layer has nine hanging corners, the tower is like spring shoots, thin and straight, each layer of the tower is carved with exquisite patterns, only beautiful and beautiful, but there is a common point in the pattern, whether it is a forest mountain, or a river or lake, there is a phoenix in spreading its wings and soaring.
And each phoenix is painted in gold, and I don't know what material it is made of, so it has not faded to this day.
Zhang Xiaotian circled around the stone tower, and found nothing special except for the exquisite stone tower.
Ziling also frowned and looked at the stone tower!
Zhang Xiaotian's soul power turned, and his body quickly merged into the tower, and he found that the inside of this stone tower was empty, and there was a thick iron chain connecting to the ground.
Zhang Xiaotian walked along the iron chain, and after about a hundred meters, the iron chain came to an end, locking a large stone pillar. He took control of his molecular structure, walked through the stone pillars, and rediscovered a subterranean space.
This space, although not as large as the outside, is splendid, and it is inlaid with various treasures, illuminating the whole space as if it were day.
There is a stone platform in the center, on which a huge golden phoenix is depicted, the golden light is shining, and in the golden light there is a female figure, a golden long skirt, and a kind face.
That figure was not the real body, but was condensed by golden light!
"Could it be that she is Ziling's mother, no wonder that girl is so good-looking, there is such a good-looking mother."
Zhang Xiaotian laughed, then returned to Ziling's side and told Ziling what he saw, Ziling naturally wanted to take a look, so the two went to that space.
"Mother! It's really my mother! ”
Ziling saw the figure in the golden light and shouted excitedly.
When the golden figure heard the voice, he opened his eyes like a real person, and after seeing the purple bell, he revealed his spirituality, and his hands were slowly stretched out.
"Son, I've finally waited for you to wake up!"
