Chapter 37: Back to the Tree Mound
I turned on the wolf-eye flashlight to light Bai Qi, and he bent down and went underwater to see the stone tablet.
The text on this stele is very old, with the charm of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and is more inclined to oracle bone inscriptions and gold inscriptions.
I don't know much about these two earliest hieroglyphs in China, so I can only leave the work of interpreting this stone tablet to Bai Qi.
This guy has the real Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword on hand, and I believe that he should know more ancient characters than I do.
After looking at the watch in his hand for five minutes, Bai Qi finally stood up straight, and his expression gradually became solemn:
"According to the records of the stone tablet in this place, this is the place where this thousand-year-old spirit turtle lived in his old age, and those iron chains are not extracting its blood, but maintaining its life, otherwise, it will not survive until now, there are many places like the spirit turtle, which are their own cemeteries,"
"Where we are now is the cemetery that this spirit turtle has carved out with its own great mana, and it is burying itself by itself! Alas! ”
After saying this, Bai Qi couldn't help but sigh.
How many peerless characters in this world died before they should die.
The romance during his lifetime is just a topic for posterity.
This thousand-year-old spirit turtle has lived for more than a thousand years, and on the day of the limit, it dug its grave deep underground, so as not to disturb mortals, and this kind of virtue is worth learning from mortals.
How many mortal emperors and generals, for the sake of a huge imperial mausoleum, oppressed the people, how cruel.
"So how do we get out now?"
After knowing that this is the place where the thousand-year-old spirit turtle cultivates and rests in his old age, I don't want to stay in this place anymore.
The longer I stay, the easier it is for me to feel sad and sad.
"Come with me." Bai Qi said lightly.
After speaking, he bowed deeply towards the Millennium Spirit Tortoise.
I followed him and bowed to the thousand-year-old spirit turtle.
Then, I followed Bai Qi and circled the spirit turtle to the tail of the spirit turtle, and saw a third narrow path.
I don't know where this narrow road leads, but if Bai Qi wants to go here, I can only take it.
As the so-called suspicious people don't need to be used, there is no suspicion in employing people, Bai Qi has taken me to the present, to be honest, I already trust him very much in my heart.
The most important reason is that I don't want to doubt him.
Otherwise, once the relationship between the two of us breaks down, it will be a question of whether I can survive or not.
The terrain here is complicated, the mechanism is vicious, and a rookie like me can only walk around under the guidance of a master in addition to staying in place.
This narrow road is relatively easy to walk, and when you are halfway there, it is no longer water, and there is a stone path.
We walked on the stone pavement a little faster, and it took us an hour and fifteen minutes to get out.
When we came out, we came to another stone platform, but there was a stone pillar in the middle of this stone platform.
There are various patterns carved on this stone pillar, including snakes, turtles, tigers, and chickens.
However, with my previous experience, I recognized that these were the four elephants.
It seems that this stone pillar has another mystery.
I walked with Bai Qi and walked around the stone pillar, only to find that the stone pillar had a map engraved on it.
The map shows the graves of mountain spirits and wild monsters such as turtles, but it also points out a way out to the outside.
The road is very cleverly constructed, that is, it is built according to the topography and leads to the ground.
"How about it, would you like to give it a try?" I glanced at Bai Qi and asked.
Bai Qi nodded and did not speak.
I walked to the rock wall to the north of the pillar and began to grope for it.
If the map on the pillar is true, then there will be a mechanism on the north wall that will open and a door will appear.
Inside the door there is a staircase that leads straight to the ground.
Of course, only a few of them are ladders, and the rest of them have to climb the rattan to keep going up.
The rock wall to the north was rough, and I couldn't find any mechanism until I stepped back and looked closely, and I noticed the subtleties.
There is a small rock on this rock wall, which is not inconspicuous, but its texture is the most different and the most special.
I walked over and pressed it down.
The next moment, the rock wall shook, and a small opening was revealed, revealing the dark cavern inside.
Bai Qi casually lit a candle and threw it in, and after waiting for thirty seconds, the candle was not extinguished, and Bai Qi and I walked in one after another.
The road was full of cobwebs, and the stone steps were covered with dust.
After walking about fifty stone steps, the stone steps broke, but there were many vines hanging down all around.
I pulled Bai Qi ten times desperately, and these vines have not yet been broken, which shows that they are extremely strong.
I don't know what kind of tree this is, the vines are so strong, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't fit things in my backpack, I would definitely have to take a piece back for testing.
This time, it was replaced by me in front and Bai Qi in the back, so that Bai Qi could protect my safety from falling off.
It's also my first time climbing a tree vine, and it's not the kind of hiking rope that you can wear with a belt, it's just a vine.
Several times I couldn't hold on steadily, but it was only with the help of Bai Qi that I was able to continue climbing towards the top.
After climbing all the way for seven or eight minutes, Bai Qi and I noticed that a stone slab shaped like a mountain cliff appeared on the opposite side of us, connecting to a road.
Above our heads, however, a large patch of stone bricks appeared, blocking our way forward.
Bai Qi glanced at me, didn't remind me, and kicked me out.
You know, there is a cliff below me, and I screamed in fright.
"What are you afraid of, just walk over there, there's me!"
Bai Qi laughed, like a madman, and jumped over.
I was so frightened that I closed my eyes directly, how the hell did I run into this neurotic, this madman.
Then I felt like I was being picked up and thrown to the ground.
When I opened my eyes, Bai Qizheng looked at me with a smile: "The Lin family is so bold, your third uncle is bolder than you!" ”
It's okay if he doesn't mention the third uncle, but as soon as he mentions the third uncle, I want to beat up that Li Pingzhi.
Relying on the fact that he is a member of the Demon Slaying Alliance, and a member of the four worldly ghost hunters, he is unscrupulous.
One day, I must wash away the shame of my third uncle.
"Alright, let's go." I stood up, took the wolf's eye flashlight, and saw the corridor in front of me.
Come to think of it, what kind of tomb is this?
Bai Qi and I walked slowly, and soon walked from the edge of the cliff into the Yongdao, and there was a ignition road around the Yongdao.
I reached out and wiped it, and the oil was still lit.
I lit a waterproof match, I threw the match in, and soon, the oil on the ignition path immediately burned, shining brightly.
With the flames, the moisture and chill of this burial path were quickly dispelled.
I walked inside with Bai Qi, keeping my vigilance to the highest point.
In this unpredictable corridor, only vigilance can stay safe.
As I walked, I suddenly noticed that the walls on both sides of the corridor were carved with leaves.
There are even places where the painting is more close, and a small sapling appears.
I don't think of this little sapling as a real sapling, which is what the little sapling painted in the comic strip mural was painted in the first place.
With that, we are back at the mound.
