Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Truth About Stone Carvings
The Moon Shadow Fuxian followed Wu Zhiyuan's gaze and looked at the stone wall, and was immediately surprised, only to see that the stone wall was smooth and abnormal, flat as a mirror, and what was even more strange was that the stone wall was carved with many relief patterns of different sizes!
Moon Shadow Fuxian carefully observed, these patterns are similar to the pots and pans and other utensils used in daily life, their size is almost the same as the real thing, although carved on the stone wall, but it is lifelike, very realistic.
"What a clever work!" Moon Shadow Fuxian couldn't help but praise softly.
"Do you see what's carved in this stone wall?" Wu Zhiyuan looked sideways at the Moon Shadow Fuxian and nodded.
Moon Shadow Fuxian didn't understand Wu Zhiyuan's intentions, and she asked disappreciatively, "Aren't these the cooking utensils used in life?" ”
"Look at this." Wu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and pointed to a relief on the left-hand side, which resembled an incense burner, with a lid on it, and the pattern style was very different, revealing an exotic style.
Moon Shadow Fuxian looked at it and was taken aback!
"This is a copper Gu weapon?" She asked.
"Not bad." Wu Zhiyuan said indifferently, "You go back and look at those so-called life cooking utensils." ”
Moon Shadow Fuxian Fox looked back suspiciously and then looked at the other stone carvings and reliefs on the stone wall, and this time he was surprised again.
"These are actually all Gu weapons used by our Black Descending Sect to refine Gu poison!" Moon Shadow Fuxian exclaimed again.
"Sure enough, it was your black descendant, at first I thought it was from the Maoshan faction, but it was never connected with the Maoshan faction's behavior of subduing ghosts and eliminating demons." Wu Zhiyuan said casually, but his words revealed that he was extremely disdainful of the Black Descending Sect's refining Gu poison.
"More than 100 years ago, the Black Gate was originally a branch of the Maoshan faction, if this relief was carved more than 100 years ago, it is understandable to say that it is a masterpiece of the Maoshan faction." Moon Shadow Fuxian obviously heard the meaning of Wu Zhiyuan's words, although she was arrogant by nature, she was extremely gentle to her lover, so she was not angry.
"The earliest relationship between your Black Descending Sect and the Maoshan Sect can be traced back to a hundred years ago?" Wu Zhiyuan caught the words "more than a hundred years ago" from the words of the Moon Shadow Fuxian, and asked softly after a moment's silence, "How could it be so coincidental?" ”
Moon Shadow Fuxian didn't understand the meaning of Wu Zhiyuan's words, and looked at Wu Zhiyuan suspiciously, waiting for his further explanation.
"More than 100 years ago, Wujia Village was built as a village, and it was also more than 100 years ago that the Black Descendant Gate broke away from the Maoshan faction." Wu Zhiyuan muttered to himself while thinking about it, "There is another coincidence, the Black Descending Gate was originally a branch of the Maoshan faction, and the letter left by the ancestor of the Wu family stated that in a hundred years, there will be masters of the Maoshan faction to come to the rescue, and these two are also related to the Maoshan faction. ”
"What does that mean?" Moon Shadow Fuxian asked with a puzzled face, "Didn't the matter of the female ghost Dong Qian also happened a hundred years ago?" ”
"Yes, the coincidence of Dong Qian's incident may have nothing to do with the whole thing, but the two coincidences I mentioned earlier have one thing in common." Wu Zhiyuan quickly analyzed in his mind, and the whole thing already had a preliminary guess in his mind, and as for how true this guess was, he was still uncertain.
"What do you have in common?" Moon Shadow Fuxian hurriedly asked, and under the firelight, her wonderful eyes sparkled, revealing eager eyes.
Wu Zhiyuan didn't reply, but fell into deep thought, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Is the Blood Shadow Demon Knife also a thing of the Maoshan Sect?" ”
"The Blood Shadow Demon Knife is the first head of the Black Descending Sect to be tempered with the Heavenly Dark Iron and thirty-six kinds of strange poisons, and it has been the token of the head of the Black Descending Sect in history, and the person who gets this knife is the master, and everyone under the door obeys the order, even the previous head is no exception. At the time of the completion of the sword, the Black Descending Sect had already established its own sect, so this knife should have nothing to do with the Maoshan Sect. Moon Shadow Fuxian talked about the history of the Blood Shadow Demon Knife, but he didn't understand why Wu Zhiyuan suddenly asked this.
Wu Zhiyuan pulled the Moon Shadow Fuxian to walk a few steps quickly into the cave, his eyes drifted on the relief of the stone wall, and suddenly stopped in front of a stone carving, he pointed to a relief pattern on the stone wall in front of him and said, "Look. ”
When the Moon Shadow Fuxian looked at it, he saw that the pattern depicted the image of the Blood Shadow Demon Knife, so he compared the Blood Shadow Demon Knife in his hand with the stone wall pattern, and its shape and size were exactly the same as the real magic knife.
"There is actually a pattern of the Blood Shadow Demon Knife here?" Moon Shadow Fuxian looked at Wu Zhiyuan in confusion, she knew that the other party already had an answer.
Wu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, and then analyzed leisurely: "The pattern of the Blood Shadow Demon Knife appears in this cave, which shows that this cave has a direct connection with the Black Descending Sect, and has nothing to do with the Maoshan Sect. ”
"This can be explained by the fact that there will be a black descending gate Gu magic weapon and a blood shadow magic knife stone carving pattern on the stone wall of this cave." Moon Shadow Fuxian thought that Wu Zhiyuan's speculation was more reasonable, she pondered for a while, and suddenly realized, "Could it be that the Maoshan faction came to attack the Black Descendant Gate back then?" ”
"It's not about attacking, it's more appropriate to say that it's subdued. In the eyes of the Maoshan faction, the study of the head lowering Gu technique by the Black Descending Gate and the scourge of the world should be a crooked way of evil demons. Wu Zhiyuan corrected, "According to my guess, a small number of disciples of the Maoshan Sect studied Gu art back then, but they were not allowed by the Maoshan Sect, so the disciples broke away from Maoshan and set up their own doors, and they may have come to this Dragon Mountain to settle down." Later, because of the evil deeds and the reputation, the Maoshan faction came to stop it in order to support justice, so the two factions fought, and finally the Maoshan faction won. Perhaps because this black descending gate is too evil, the Maoshan faction predicted that there would be a corpse change in a hundred years, so they set up a formation around this Longshan, and at the same time warned the people of Wujia Village not to step into Longshan for half a step, and left a message that after a hundred years, there will be disciples of the Maoshan faction to come to relieve this crisis. ”
Wu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and continued: "This matter should have been quite sensational at the time, I remember that Master Wuchen of Cong Ma Monastery once used obscure words to remind me that Wujia Village was in trouble, and advised me to come back quickly, indicating that he also knew about this matter. ”
"Now it seems that your inference basically explains the mystery of Wujia Village, but the ancestral precept set by the ancestors of the Wu family not to step into Longshan for half a step, as well as the secret letter left behind, if it is really to prevent the corpses of the people who descended from the Black Gate from harming people after a hundred years, then where are the zombies after the corpses of the people of the Black Descending Gate are transformed? The ten black-clothed purple zombies we killed earlier have been determined to be just ten dart masters hired by Dong Qian, and they have nothing to do with the Black Descending Gate. Moon Shadow Fuxian questioned again.
"The Wu Clan's ancestors and the Maoshan Sect a hundred years ago were worried about the corpse transformation of the Black Descending Sect, which is now the ever-changing Drought Devil who sucks human blood." Wu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and replied calmly.
Wu Zhiyuan's speculation has its own reason, he had a head-to-head confrontation with the drought fish, and the drought fish also personally said that he would deal with an old enemy, this old enemy is most likely the Maoshan master mentioned in the secret letter, although there is something unexplainable in terms of age, but Wu Zhiyuan really can't think of any other possibilities.
Unexpectedly, Wu Zhiyuan's speculation was directly denied by Moon Shadow Fuxian.
