Hearing Long Jiu say this, I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and asked, "Ninth Master, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Hehe, have you forgotten the brass bells in your hand?" Long Jiu asked with a smile.

I couldn't help but exclaim: "Ninth Master, are you saying that those five copper bells are actually the key to opening the seal...?" ”

"I can't say for sure yet, but I'm speculating that it's possible... Because the seal at the entrance of the cave seems to be related to the five elements, and the five bronze bells may just symbolize gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, I think that there may be some kind of connection in this. ”

After listening to what Long Jiu said, I couldn't help but feel a little excited, and immediately said, "That's without further ado, let's go down and take a look now..."

Long Jiu nodded, turned his head to Ah Leopard and said, "Ah Leopard, you are guarding outside, you can't let anyone get close to here..."

Ah Bao immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Ninth Master, with me, it is impossible for people in the cult to break in..."

"In short, don't take it lightly, although we have temporarily got rid of the people in the cult, but the location of this construction site, the people of the Dragon Shield Bureau actually know it, if Ouyang Yi has really colluded with the people in the cult, I think it won't take long for him to find out here, so you must be prepared to deal with it." When Long Jiu said this, he turned his head and said to Long Jiansheng, who was standing behind him and had been silent, "Jiansheng, you open the way in front, go down." ”

After getting Long Jiu's order, Long Jiansheng didn't say a word, and immediately got into the unfathomable earth cave, and Wen Qingshan and Long Jiu and I followed Long Jiansheng and drilled in turn.

Only then did I realize that although the entrance to the cave was not small, because the tunnel was at an oblique angle of fifty or sixty degrees to the depths of the ground, the space inside seemed a little narrow, and I had to bend down and move forward.

The angle of fifty or sixty degrees is actually very steep, but fortunately there is a long rope ladder in the hole, and we can step on the rope ladder to go down, although we can't go too fast, but at least this can avoid slipping under our feet and rolling down all at once.

There were also electric lights installed in the tunnel, so we didn't need flashlights to see our surroundings clearly, and as we went deeper, I noticed that the walls of the cave had changed from soft earth to hard rock.

The stone wall is not smooth, uneven, sharp edges and corners, and between the cracks in the stone wall, there is water seeping out, so the cave is very wet. In some places, traces of concrete repairs are still visible.

Long Jiu explained that the geology in this area is mainly based on feldspar mixed sandstone, because this kind of rock is brittle, so it is not suitable for drilling, and when this hole is drilled, local fault collapse and water seepage have occurred many times.

After listening to what Long Jiu said, my heart suddenly hung in the air, for fear that if the entire cave suddenly collapsed, then a few of us would be miserable.

But fortunately, my worries were unfounded, and we reached the end of the tunnel, and the cave did not collapse, but the water seepage was more severe, and some low-lying areas even accumulated deep water, and we had to wade through.

Wen Qingshan Chong Long Jiu asked, "Ninth Master, the position we are in now should already be under the Yellow River, right?" ”

Long Jiu nodded: "That's right, we are now about twelve or thirteen meters deep directly below the Yellow River. ”

When I heard this, I said worriedly, "Then the water of the Yellow River will not suddenly pour in and flood this place, right?" ”

Long Jiu said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I have already had people do a comprehensive inspection before, and the entire cave has been reinforced, unless there is an earthquake of magnitude seven or above, it is impossible to collapse, as long as it does not collapse, the water of the Yellow River will not pour in, and some water seepage between the stone cracks is a normal phenomenon, so there is no need to be afraid." ”

After listening to what Long Jiu said, my heart calmed down a little.

As we continued on, the terrain in the tunnel gradually became much more balanced, and there seemed to be no slope left, and I noticed that a dark blue stone wall was blocking the way.

Long Jiu raised his hand and pointed to the stone wall, and said to Wen Qingshan and me, "That's part of that dragon body rock. ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately quickened my pace, and soon came to the stone wall, only to find that the stone wall was covered with dark blue moss, and the structure of this stone wall was obviously different from the other stone walls in the cave, and the whole was relatively smooth, obviously not the same rock structure as the feldspar mixed sandstone.

As Long Jiu said, the stone wall was integrated and there was no flaw at all. I reached out and touched the moss on the stone wall, and it felt like normal moss.

I looked around and saw a tunnel running along the rock wall, and since there were no electric lights installed in the tunnel, it was dark in the depths.

I thought that this cave was also dug up by Long Jiu, so I turned to him and asked, "Ninth Master, where does this cave lead to?" ”

Long Jiu replied, "The whole dragon body rock does not fit perfectly with the surrounding rock bodies, and there is a hole of about one meter between them. We can follow this tunnel to the location of the dragon's mouth. The entrance to the dragon's body should be there. ”

After Long Jiu finished speaking, he took out a flashlight and walked along the cave path, and the rest of us hurriedly followed.

The group walked forward for about a hundred meters, and Long Jiu stopped, turned his head and said to everyone, "It's here..."

I stopped and looked around, but I didn't see where the dragon head was as Long Jiu said, the so-called dragon boulder was still very smooth, and I couldn't tell what it had to do with the dragon.

I couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Ninth Master, you said that this rock was transformed by the body of a giant dragon, but why can't I see it at all?" And where is the faucet? ”

Long Jiu smiled and said: "Do you know, after this dragon body is petrified, it will secrete a strange substance around its body to completely wrap its body, like a cocoon, so this substance is also called a stone cocoon." This stone cocoon is very strong, which can both protect the dragon's body from damage and prevent people from discovering it. ”

"What, it's a cocoon...?" I turned my head to look at the stone wall covered in dark blue moss, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised, I really didn't expect it to be just a cocoon, but it was a little too hard.

"Isn't there a way to forcibly break through this cocoon?" Wen Qingshan didn't seem to believe in evil, walked forward, and knocked the stone wall, but the stone wall didn't react.

Long Jiu smiled and said, "If the third brother Wen doesn't believe it, just try it with an iron drill." Long Jiu said, picking up an iron hammer from the ground and handing it over.

Wen Qingshan took the iron chisel and poked it hard towards the stone wall, the iron chisel poked on the thick moss, making a muffled "bang", the stone wall was still unscathed, and even the moss on the stone wall did not seem to be affected.

Wen Qingshan was not reconciled, his luck was refreshed, and he clenched the iron hammer in his hand and poked it several times at the stone wall, but he still couldn't leave any traces on the stone wall.

Long Jiu said with a smile on the side: "The third brother Wen now knows that this layer of stone cocoon is unbreakable. ”

Wen Qingshan put down the iron hammer in his hand, frowned and said: "This layer of stone cocoons is indeed not ordinarily hard, however, I found that the moss on it seems to play a strong cushioning role, every time I pierce it, I obviously exert a lot of strength, but after touching the stone wall, the power seems to be dissolved all of a sudden." ”

Long Jiu nodded: "You're right, the moss on this seems to be no different from ordinary moss, but it's actually completely different, this moss is very special, it can defuse a strong impact, even if it is with explosives, it won't help." ”

After listening to what Long Jiu said, I immediately said, "In that case, wouldn't it be enough to shovel all these mosses?" ”

"Hehe, it's so easy... These mosses are completely different from normal mosses, and they seem to have merged with the shell of the stone cocoon, and they cannot be eradicated at all. And even if some of them are barely removed, new moss will soon grow, covering the part that exposes the shell of the cocoon. ”

"So amazing...?" I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Long Jiu nodded and said, "Anyway, I have thought of all the ways I can think of, and I have never been able to break this stone cocoon." Now the only clue, only a strange imprint. ”

When I heard this, I hurriedly asked, "Where is the imprint?" ”

"You two, please look there..."Long Jiu finished speaking, turned around and shone the flashlight in his hand to the side.

I had been paying attention to the moss-covered stone wall before, but then I noticed that about five or six meters away from the location of the dragon's mouth that Long Jiu had said, there was a black stone with a strange shape.

This jet-black stone is about half a meter high, the upper layer is relatively flat, it looks like a naturally generated stone table, and the stone does not know what material it is, when Long Jiu shines a flashlight on the stone, it can reflect back the light, which shows that its surface is very smooth, so it has a certain mirror characteristic.

Wen Qingshan frowned slightly and said, "This stone doesn't seem to be made of feldspar sandstone or limestone, how can it appear here?" ”

When he said this, he wanted to step forward to see what was going on, but was stopped by Long Jiuyi.

"Brother Wen, it's better not to go near that stone..."Long Jiu said.

Wen Qingshan asked with some confusion, "Why can't you get closer?" Is there any danger? ”

Long Jiu didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Do you know what kind of stone this is?" ”

Wen Qingshan shook his head and said, "It's a bit far away, and I can't see it for the time being." ”

Long Jiu stared at the black stone and said slowly, "That's a soul stone..."

"What...? Soul Stone..."Long Jiu's words surprised me, the first time I came into contact with the soul stone was the soul sarcophagus I saw in Shao Yuanjie's tomb, at that time Huang Yixian didn't even dare to get close to the past, because the soul stone would absorb yin and yang aura, if ordinary people approached, the true yuan in the body would be greatly damaged.
