Chapter 20: Cave Changes
After Lei Daxiong entered the cave, Yu Chengyao stared at him cautiously. His every move was under Yu Chengyao's inspection, and he didn't fight back as Yu Chengyao thought.
This is because he doesn't have this strength, and he wants to get rid of Yu Chengyao. As long as he helps Yu Chengyao get the big snake away, he can regain his freedom.
As long as he can regain his freedom, there is still a lot more he can do. Although he is just a ghost, this does not affect his revenge on Yu Chengyao.
At the moment when he faced the big snake, he did have evil intentions, but after weighing the pros and cons, he knew the risk he had to take. He is a person who is very deep in the city, so he chose to forbear.
The big snake was successfully put away, and Yu Chengyao got the Gu jar from Lei Daxiong's hand. At this time, Lei Daxiong was even more scared, and he naturally knew in his heart that Yu Chengyao could also give himself a counterattack at any time.
But he also needs to gamble, because no matter which possibility happens, he will lose. As long as there is hope, he does not want to give up.
As he wished, Yu Chengyao really let him go. After Lei Daxiong left, Yu Chengyao entered the Zhuzi Cave with the Gu jar in his hand.
It was only ten minutes before seven o'clock, and the sound of the village miners chatting came from outside the cave. They haven't entered the cave yet, because the time has not come, and they will not work until the point is reached.
Yu Chengyao looked around in the Zhuzi Cave, and a few hours ago he was here to take refuge, and he didn't pay attention to it. After coming in this time to observe carefully, I found that there was a great change in Zhuzi Cave.
Although the entrance of Zhuzi Cave was reopened, due to the last explosion, the entrance of the cave was completely sealed by falling rocks. The reopened opening of the cave this time was also passed by only one person.
The entrance between the Zhuzi Cave and the mine cave was dug last time he rescued him, but this opening will be larger than the entrance of the Zhuzi Cave.
Besides, the stone coffin lid that flew out was still in the same position as before, and it didn't even move at all. It was right in the middle of the entrance of the passage between the mine cave and the Zhuzi Cave, but what made him wonder was that the stone table, stone bed, and stone bench were missing.
Yu Chengyao can even see that there are obvious indentations left on the position of the stone table and stone bed and stone bench in the past, which can only be left by pressing three natural stone tools over the years.
It is reasonable that the stone benches and stone tables were removed, because the exit of the Zhuzi Cave itself, although small, allowed the stone benches to pass through. And the passage between the Zhuzi Cave and the Mine Cave can also allow the stone table to be moved out from there.
But what about the stone bed? The stone bed is so large that both openings cannot be passed.
If it is blown up with gunpowder and then moved, it is completely impossible. An explosion of gunpowder destroys the indentation, but the indentation looks intact and very clear. That is to say, it was moved. And when they were removed from here, they were not put down.
And there is another suspicion, the sarcophagus is still in the cave. And in perfect condition, in the former location. It has not been moved, nor has it been destroyed.
The lid of the sarcophagus was left in the Zhuzi Cave together with the sarcophagus, which made Yu Chengyao have huge doubts in his heart.
Why were the stone tables, stone benches, and stone beds here moved? Who was the person who moved them? Why was the sarcophagus left behind?
With doubts, Yu Chengyao remembered that there was still a human skeleton lying in the sarcophagus. Although the skeleton once stood up and walked out of the sarcophagus, it was finally knocked out of the skull by itself. But at this time, Yu Chengyao did not see any trace of these skeletons, and Yu Chengyao slowly walked towards the sarcophagus.
That skeleton left a deep impression on Yu Chengyao, because it was the first time he had been exposed to supernatural events, and the first time he realized that there were ghosts and ghosts in this world.
Thinking back to my time at this moment, I also feel a little incredible. That skeleton was logically a carrion, and a carrion corpse could not have been stoned to death.
Although the rotting corpses can make them non-aggressive by destroying their bodies, it is impossible to completely destroy them without destroying the remaining yin qi on their bodies.
Yu Chengyao remembered that the Golden Snake Gu seemed to have devoured something before, could it be that it was devouring the yin qi of the carrion corpse?
It seems to be, but the skeleton is gone, who cleaned them up?
Yu Chengyao walked to the coffin and took a closer look, the bones were not in the coffin. The empty sarcophagus made Yu Chengyao have more doubts in his heart.
Will the villagers take away the skeletons? This is something that can happen, because whether this skeleton is the skeleton of a village person or not, it is not good or bad luck to stay in the mine and Zhuzi Cave.
So the miners will dispose of these things, but if they do get rid of the skeletons, there is no reason for them to leave the sarcophagus alone!
Another point is that the stone table, stone bench and stone bed, these three natural stone tools are the things left by the legendary immortals. These three things are unlikely to be destroyed or even moved away by the people of the village.
After these clues were gathered, the only conclusion that Yu Chengyao could draw was that there was someone else who cleaned up the skeletons, and someone else who removed the stone tools.
And the removal of stone tools and the removal of skeletons also had some purpose, or conspiracy.
Yu Chengyao believes that no one in this world wants to do futile things, so he firmly believes that someone must have done something here.
And what do they get? At this time, Yu Chengyao is no longer the same as Yu Chengyao in the past, his thinking has undergone a great change, and the reason for the change is because his perception of the world has also changed.
Before, he didn't believe that there were gods and ghosts in this world. But at this time, he believed that there were ghosts, but he didn't know if there were immortals.
This is a very crucial thing, because it determines whether the conjecture in his mind is right or wrong.
If the gods really exist, then the three stone tools left behind by the legends are a great temptation for mortals. Because the things left by the gods will have immortal energy, and immortal energy can give people great benefits.
As for what this benefit is, Yu Chengyao naturally doesn't know, but what if the person who moved the stone tools knows?
From this, it can be concluded that the person who removed the stone tools must not be an ordinary person, and look at the current situation. The way they removed the stone tools must have been very special, and perhaps it was really the work of the sorcerers.
Because the sorcerer can control ghosts, can release spells, and can support Gu worms. These things all have extraordinary abilities, and it's not surprising that they can be used to collect stone tools.
Thinking of the special means of removing stone tools, Yu Chengyao thought of another possibility. With the use of high-tech means, the technology is now so developed.
Is it difficult for a big stone to cut it apart without leaving a trace? There is no doubt that no, and the possibility of using high-tech means to deal with three stone tools is also very likely.
Maybe it was the murder that attracted the attention of all walks of life, and it is very likely that the archaeological team has been here, and it is very likely that they took those things back to study.
There are all these possibilities, and Yu Chengyao can't figure out what kind of possibility it is for a while.
He even thought of more of what Ken could have liked, but he calmed down and swept away the speculation from his mind.
Facts need evidence, and you can't guess anything by guessing. He began to search the cave more carefully, and he found some clues.
These clues are very stealthy and are some special symbols. And he had seen and known these symbols. The five ghosts carried the spells of the array, and he frowned at the tiny charms left on the ground and walls.
At this moment, he could already conclude that the person who stole the three stone tools must be a sorcerer.
And the suspicious object can also be roughly guessed to be a person from the Tongtian Cult, a person from the Guigu Sect in She Township, or a legendary immortal.
These speculations are all uncertainties, and Yu Chengyao doesn't know who took these things.
He didn't want to dwell on these doubts any longer, the miners in the mine had already started work, and Yu Chengyao even heard their doubts and speculations about the debris left behind by the explosion in the mine.
This was not a place to stay, and he had to leave. But he had one more thing to do before leaving.
The seven-star lantern was being stared at by many people at the moment, and needless to say, the Guigu faction in She Township had come several waves. The Tongtian Cult has always wanted to fight, and there are some potential enemies that he doesn't know about.
At this time, the seven-star lamp is like a hot potato, although the genuine product in his hand is doubted, but it is not safe. Because there are many high-ranking people, some people may be able to recognize the authenticity.
It is naturally impossible to keep this thing with you, and if you fall into the hands of others one day, the Seven Star Lantern will definitely be lost.
He couldn't take any chances, so he had to find a way to hide it. Thinking about it, maybe only Zhuzi Cave is the most suitable for hiding the Seven Star Lantern.
Because this is a mining area, the cave quarries are excavated. No one would have thought he would hide this thing here, because it's not safe.
The three stone tools no longer exist, and the Zhuzi Cave has no meaning left. I don't know when the village decided to dig this place, these are all factors that others have overlooked.
Yu Chengyao decided to hide this thing in this dangerous place, and he was not worried about being poached by the miners. Because it fell into the hands of the miners, he still had a way to get it back, they were all villagers in the village, and as long as they had money, there was nothing they couldn't do.
But if you fall into the hands of the enemy, if you want to get it back, you have to fight hard.
Yu Chengyao found a stone crack in the Zhuzi Cave, and after mixing things into it, he also set up a formation, covering it with stones and dirt as a cover.
After hiding his things, he was still a little uneasy. I think it's safe, but it's not necessarily safe.
But if you don't hide things here, where should you hide them? Facing the contradiction in his heart, Yu Chengyao was also very entangled in this problem.
He even turned around to retrieve the Seven Star Lantern and look for another way, but after thinking about it, he decided to leave his things here.
In any case, the seven-star lantern can't be carried with you, and there is no better choice for you at the moment. He could only settle, suppressed the hesitation in his heart, and began to think about finding the whereabouts of his master.
The master has been away from Panlong Mountain for a while, where should he start? The Tongtian Cult is a clue, and the Guigu Sect in She Township is a clue.
Once you have thought of the clues, you must also think clearly about where to start. The Guigu faction of She Township knows very little about itself, and the Tongtian Cult itself still has Xiaoyue as an internal response.
He chose to start from the aspect of the Tongtian Cult, and with a decision, he walked out of the Zhuzi Cave. At the moment when he stepped out of the Zhuzi Cave, a yin wind suddenly blew up from behind him.
The cold and gloomy breath suddenly alerted his heart, and an ominous premonition arose, and he immediately turned around and looked back after feeling that something was wrong.
