As soon as I entered the cave, the smell became even heavier, and I swept it with a flashlight, and saw a stone room in front of me, with some overturned tables and chairs against the wall, and a bird corpse in front of me.

The big bird must have been dead for a few months, its flesh was rotting extensively, and there were a lot of feathers scattered on the ground, and the smell of blood and rot emanated from it.

In addition, the abnormal Qi field I sensed on the hillside before also came from it.

It's the first time I've seen such a big bird, it's more than two meters tall when it stands up, a pair of huge wings attached to the ground, the wingspan is three or four meters, it looks a bit like a pelican, the beak is very wide and long, but there is a huge gap on it, it seems to have been cracked by a blunt object.

Although the flesh on its legs was highly rotted and stuck to the stone bricks on the ground, it was still evident that its lower limbs were much thicker than those of an ostrich, and its claws had inverted teeth like sharp iron hooks.

At this time, Li Renfeng and He Hong also slid down the steel cable, and He Hong pinched his nose and ran to the wall on the left side and lit the lamp hanging on the stone wall.

Under the beating firelight, the large feathers attached to the bird corpse reflected a layer of soft golden light, and He Hong saw the bird corpse on the ground, and exclaimed on the spot: "Jinpeng bird!" ”

I pointed to the bird corpse on the ground: "You mean it?" ”

"It's not wrong, this is Jinpeng," He Hong's brows frowned tightly when he spoke: "There is a portrait of it in an ancient book of Jiufeng Mountain, I will never admit it." I heard the head of the sect say that Jinpeng is a holy beast born of a unicorn and a phoenix, and there is one in Jiufeng Mountain, which is a sacred beast guarding the mountain here. I didn't expect it to really exist, but why...... Why did he die? ”

I flipped through the feathers scattered on the ground, some of which had a heavy Yin Qi residue and a faint wisp of telekinesis.

I have also seen this mental power, and it comes from the white ding of the black and white ding.

I said, "The Black and White Twin should have been here, they killed Jinpeng." ”

He Hong suddenly became nervous: "How did they come up, except for the head and me, no one knows the way at all." Since they have been here, the head ......"

I waved my hand and interrupted her: "The people behind the black and white double ding have a deep relationship with Jiufeng Mountain, and it shouldn't be too difficult for them to find here." But you don't have to worry, the black and white Shuangding doesn't know where the old ghost He is now, and I speculate that he should be hiding in the ancient road now. Are you sure that the ancient path is in this cave? ”

He Hong nodded very seriously: "Sure, this is what the head of the family said personally." ”

Li Renfeng came up to me and glanced at the bird corpse on the ground, he didn't seem to have any interest in the corpse, only glanced at it briefly, and then paced up in the stone chamber, his eyes wandering over the four walls and the zenith.

When he looked up at the zenith, he slowly stopped and said to himself: "The sun, moon and stars, such murals are not compatible with the feng shui around the cave." ”

I also looked at the zenith, where the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers were indeed engraved, and one day and one month alone occupied more than half of the area of the zenith.

Li Renfeng looked at those reliefs, I couldn't disturb him, so I took a brief look in the stone room, and found that there was a very small stone door on the opposite stone wall, one of the door panels had been demolished, and there were some broken household items scattered near the doorway.

I felt a faint aura coming from the doorway, so I leaned in.

Li Renfeng also shouted at me: "The ancient road is definitely not over there, don't look at it." ”

I ignored him and went straight into the doorway.

This cave is a simple double-layer structure inside and outside, with beds, tables and chairs and other furniture in the stone room outside, and on this side of the doorway, there is a small alchemy room, with a few medicine vessels scattered on the ground, and a futon near the Dan furnace, which should be used for meditation.

The treasure shelf against the left wall of the alchemy room has been completely smashed, and all kinds of magic weapons are scattered all over the ground, and on the wall, there are traces of being chiseled, showing pits of different sizes.

After Hei Bai Ding got rid of Jinpeng, he seemed to have come here, and they probably thought that the ancient road was on the other side of the wall, and tried to chisel through the wall, but on the other side of the wall was a rock formation, which must be impenetrable.

It's not just them, if the person who came in was me, I would probably also suspect that Gu Dao was hiding in this alchemy room.

Li Renfeng's voice came from outside: "Uncle Shi, I found it!" ”

I hurriedly turned around and stuck my head out of the doorway: "Found the ancient road?" ”

Li Renfeng pointed to the sun relief on the zenith: "This, this, right here, the relief here has traces of being moved, you see, there are scratches on the edges." Entering from here, it must be an ancient road! ”

I poked out of the door and hit the flashlight on the sun-like relief.

The stars, sun and moon on the zenith are all intricately depicted, and the sun in front of you is also engraved with a golden crow with wings spread, and there is a radial flame pattern around the sun.

Li Renfeng was right, there were indeed a few very shallow scratches on the left side of the Golden Crow, and if you didn't look at it carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it clearly.

At this time, Li Renfeng asked me again: "Uncle Shi, how can we go up?" ”

I looked around and moved two tables near the alchemy room, this stone room was less than three meters high, and I stood on the table, and I could reach the zenith with my hand.

I tried to push the sun relief, it was heavy, and with all my strength, I only made it shake a few times.

I raised my chin at Li Renfeng: "Come up and help!" ”

Li Renfeng clumsily climbed onto the table, and I held the relief with me, struggling to top it, he had no strength, but he could always help a little, and with the combined efforts of the two of us, the sun stone sculpture slowly sank into the zenith.

Before Li Renfeng's strength was exhausted, I took out one hand to press the side of the relief, and with a strong push, the sun-shaped relief was instantly pushed away, revealing a regular circular hole above our heads.

Li Renfeng held his knees with both hands, gasping for breath, I asked him to slow down first, and then jumped up, grabbed the edge of the cave with his hands, and with a sharp force of his arms, he turned over and drilled into the hole.

There is an artificially constructed tunnel in the mouth of the cave, which is very damp and has a layer of water droplets hanging from the tunnel. Since the tunnel was only about a meter high, I could only curl up and huddle inside, using a flashlight to light it, but the light could not penetrate the darkness in front of me.

I looked at the nearby stone wall again, and there were some words carved on it, like oracle bone inscriptions.

Li Renfeng shouted outside the entrance of the cave: "What's inside? ”

"It's a tunnel," I replied, "Come in!" ”

Then I heard a whirring noise coming from the stone room, Li Renfeng and He Hong seemed to be dragging tables and chairs, and not long after, the two of them also came in one after the other.

I said to He Hong: "Old Ghost He may be in this tunnel, you follow me and let Li Renfeng be behind." ”

Hearing my words, Li Renfeng immediately became nervous: "Huh? Let me be the queen, what if...... What if there is an evil corpse or something behind it? ”

I said, "There will be no evil corpses, there is only moisture in the tunnel, and there is no corpse gas." ”

Actually, I don't want to pay attention to him, but if I don't say that, I'm afraid that he will get out of the hole again, what I'm most afraid of now is not the evil corpse, but the black and white Shuangding suddenly came here, Li Renfeng is by my side, I can probably save his life, if he lets him face those two people by himself, it will be more than lucky.

After saying this, I didn't care what Li Renfeng's reaction was, so I bit the flashlight and crawled straight forward.

The ground was very wet, and a layer of water was quickly attached to my knees and palms, and as I crawled, the light of the flashlight kept flickering, and He Hong's breathing became a little short, I knew that she was nervous, and Li Renfeng probably didn't get much better.

There is indeed no evil spirit here, but this claustrophobic environment alone can make people feel uncomfortable.

After a while, a mess appeared at the end of the light, so far away that I couldn't see it clearly, and I could only see a few vague shadows, one of which seemed to be still undulating.

He Hong, who was following me, could also see those things, and she leaned towards me, and I turned my back and waved at her twice, signaling her not to be nervous.

I slowed down and crawled forward a distance, and only then did I see more clearly, there was a man lying a few dozen meters away from me, and there seemed to be several bags of various sizes next to him.

He Hong wanted to squeeze in front of me, but I pulled her and insisted that she follow.

I know that she has been thinking about He Lao Ghost in her heart, but I can't let her go until I confirm who the person in front of me is.

It wasn't until there were less than ten meters left between us and the figure that I could already vaguely see the appearance of the man, his hair and beard were very long, and his body was withered, and in my impression, He Laogui's body should be more plump.

At this moment, He Hong suddenly shouted: "Master!" ”

The man lying in front of him was suddenly awakened, he sat up with a snort, and because he was in too much of a hurry, his forehead hit the top of the tunnel, and there was a muffled sound.

But he didn't seem to feel any pain, and after being struck, he sat there and looked at us in a daze, and the light shone directly into his eyes, but he didn't blink.

The light hit his face, and I finally saw his appearance clearly, yes, he was He Lao Ghost. When he saw him in the past, he always liked to use a condescending face to people, but now, there was only Mu Ne left on Old Ghost He's face. I don't know how long he stayed in this place, so that his whole body was so thin that his hair and beard became dirty and long.

He and I looked at each other for about ten seconds, then suddenly he screamed "whoa-" and turned around and crawled deeper into the tunnel.

I didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly chased after him, He Lao Ghost seemed to be physically exhausted, and he didn't climb far before slowing down, and I didn't have much effort to come behind him and grab his ankle.

After I grabbed the hind foot, He Lao Ghost suddenly lost his center and fell to the ground.

I struggled to drag him back, forcibly flipping his body, turning his face towards me, and shouting at him, "Old ghost He, I'm Zuo Youdao!" ”

He closed his eyes and waved his hands incessantly, trying to break free from my grasp.

In fact, when he screamed just now, I vaguely realized that he had probably lost consciousness, and his crazy appearance now also confirmed my initial inference.

I told him several times in a row that I was Zuo Youdao, but he just kept struggling, his face was full of fear, He Hong also squeezed over, looked at He Lao Ghost very nervously, and shouted worriedly: "Master, what's wrong with you, I am He Hong!" ”

Seeing that He Lao Ghost had not been able to return to normal, in a hurry, I suddenly remembered that he had told me that my master was a good person, and I thought at that time, maybe he and Luo Youfang had an unknown friendship with my master.
