"Did the old man Long record why he took the silk book away?" I asked.

Lao Xu stared at the floor tiles and looked back and forth a few times, shook his head and said, "There are only so many records here, and I don't say why I took the silk book." ”

The fourth master said: "Since the ancestor wants to take away the silk book and record the secret outline on the inner wall of the Zimu Bowl, he also asks the future patriarch to pass on this secret by word of mouth. I think there are only two situations: either Xu Fu had an order to do this. Either the ancestors felt that this secret was too important and would cause great trouble if it was leaked, and it would not be possible to destroy the secret completely. Therefore, such a method was adopted: the silk book that recorded the specific situation was taken away, but the Azusa wood was engraved with a secret synopsis. ”

"I think the latter situation mentioned by the fourth master is more likely." Lao Xu nodded, and then said: "Old Man Long, including Xu Fu, and even Guiguzi, are very jealous of this ultimate, but they can't destroy this secret yet. Otherwise, they wouldn't have created an organization like the Holy Dragon Sect to guard secrets. It's not so much about guarding as waiting for the right time. Moreover, the old man Long specially built such an ancient tomb to guard the upper book, and he was afraid that the destined people who could reach here would not be able to understand the silk book, and carved so many words on the floor tiles to explain the ins and outs of this secret. In doing so, it is obvious that he wants future generations to know this secret. ”

"Haha, Fourth Master, it seems that your ancestor is a 'selective leak'." The scholar said.

"I think what Lao Xu said has some truth, but it's not entirely true, I'm afraid that Old Man Long didn't build this ancient tomb for 'destined people'." I said.

"What do you mean?" Lao Xu asked.

"It means that there are so many mechanisms, all of which are deadly settings, obviously to prevent theft and protect the secrets here. If the old man Long left the upper volume of silk books and carved these small seals on the floor tiles, it should have a strong purpose. He should have felt that the ancient tomb mechanism here was very powerful, and it was difficult for outsiders to enter, and the secrets left here were obviously for those who knew the setting and path of the mechanism. Let's just say that the black bee fly in the eyes of the tomb guard beast in front of the underworld, if the person who comes in does not know the details and carries a torch, it must be on its way. However, the era in which the old man lived did not know that there was a cold light source such as a tactical flashlight in later generations, and many powerful mechanisms at that time would be easily cracked by modern technology. Old Man Long is very confident that outsiders will not come here, so the original intention of leaving these secrets should be for 'his own people'. This 'own person' is also their descendant of the Holy Dragon or the descendant of the Dragon Clan. ”

"Well, okay, Mr. Xia. Your head is a good one, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. My heart suddenly brightened. Fourth master, you don't remember the way back to your hometown, and you almost killed a few of our brothers, so you have to compensate for it, hurry up and talk to your ancestors. Our brothers are all good friends of yours, and my friends didn't drink when they came, so I got some treasures. The scholar said to the fourth master.

After listening to our analysis, Fourth Master Long looked solemn, and lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. The scholar is bored again, and it's not good to joke anymore.

Although I don't know what the fourth master is thinking, I always feel that he is strange, maybe he suddenly discovered the secret of their Holy Dragon Sect, and I feel sad when I think of the destruction of the whole sect now. I patted the fourth master on the shoulder, hoping that he would cheer up. After all, he was injured when he was fighting with the infant corpse. Now there are blood stains everywhere in the body, that is, the fourth master is a tough guy. If I were someone else, I'm afraid I would have fallen to the ground a long time ago.

"Xia Nan is right, maybe the ancestors are just to leave a clue to the ultimate secret for our descendants of the Holy Dragon. It's just that Tubo led the ghost group to raid the Holy Dragon Clan back then, leaving only a few survivors. And my patriarch is missing. I was young when that battle took place. I don't know if the patriarch knows the secrets of this ancient tomb. ”

"Forget it, don't be sad, fourth master. Since you have discovered this secret, it means that the old man dragon has blessed you in the spirit of heaven, and it also means that God will not die to your holy dragon clan, and finally let you know this secret that has been guarded for thousands of years. It can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of Old Man Long, and his good intentions are in vain. Lao Xu comforted the fourth master.

It took a lot of time for everyone to discover this real dormitory and now analyze the secret truth. We carefully placed the ancient silk book in a bronze box, and then handed it over to the fourth master for safekeeping—after all, it was his ancestor's belongings. Then everyone sat down together and drank a little water, resting while trying to find a way to get out of the tomb.

If we came in from the gourd cave to escape for our lives at the beginning, part of the reason for the situation we experienced later was actually curiosity. The more mysterious and dangerous the place, the more it arouses people's curiosity. It's human instinct, driven by desire. Of course, now that the secrets of this ancient tomb have been discovered, it is only dangerous to continue to stay here. The most important thing at the moment is to get out of here right away.

However, it appears to be a closed stone cave, and although it is almost identical to the layout of the upper dormitory, it does not have the door to enter and exit the upper dormitory. It's as if it's an enclosed space. Of course, it can't be closed in the strict sense of the word, because there is also the hole where we go down to the upper dormitory. However, who knew if those infant corpses were still waiting for us in the upper dormitory. If you go up now, you will not be sent to death?

We didn't have any good way, and after discussing it for a while, we couldn't find any good way, so we all sat silently on the ground to rest. We stopped talking, and there was a natural silence around us. Suddenly, I heard a sigh, as if the person who made the sigh was helpless and desperate. I was shocked, and looked at the scholar, and sure enough, it wasn't just me who heard. All three of them responded to me with surprised expressions.

"Did you hear that, too?" I'm afraid I've had auditory hallucinations from staying in this dark tomb for a long time.

"I said Fourth Master, why don't you go and ask your ancestors, do you still have any unfulfilled wishes? You see, you're all here, and your family can tell you what to do. Don't scare our brothers back and forth, right? The scholar stared at Long Fengdu's body behind him with a flashlight, and asked the fourth master weakly.

Could it be that the old man really deceived the corpse? I have watched many film and television dramas, and those corpses that have not decomposed for a long time may be defrauded. Thinking of this, goosebumps immediately came out on my body. I also looked nervously at the ancient corpse.

The fourth master suddenly turned on his flashlight, but instead of shining it on Long Fengdu's corpse, he turned to shine it in the opposite direction. I turned my head and looked, and I almost lost my soul. Damn, under the aperture of the flashlight in the distance, a row of fist-sized red eyes suddenly appeared. I settled down, and then I saw that it was actually a big python the size of a bucket, and what was even more terrifying was that the python actually had five heads!

Lao Xu and the scholar also discovered this monster and were shocked. I once saw a photo of a five-headed snake on the Internet, and there was a snake with five heads in that photo, but later it was said that it had been artificially photoshopped, which was fake. Now facing the living five-headed python, he couldn't accept the truth from his heart for a while, so he was stunned on the spot. Damn, we didn't notice this thing when we first came down the steps. Where did these five pythons come from? Or was you already nesting in a corner of this place, woken up by the sound of what we just said? While we were in a daze, the five-headed snake kept spitting letters on each head, and let out a sound similar to a human sigh. It turned out that from the time we were in the upper dormitory to the moment just now, the sighs we heard were all made by this monster.

The fourth master was the first to calm down and whispered, "Everyone be careful, slowly retreat." ”

A few of us didn't dare to alarm the five-headed python, so we quietly put our backpacks on our backs and slowly retreated. Perhaps because of nervousness or fear, the scholar tripped over the chair where Long Fengdu's body was placed when he retreated, and fell to the ground all of a sudden. Although the sound was not loud, it still startled the five giant pythons. I saw that the beast's five heads turned around together, facing the direction of the scholar, and hurriedly swallowed the letter. Then, like an arrow, the whole body shot over, straight at the scholar.

The scholar was so frightened that he forgot about it. Seeing that the situation was not good, I grabbed the scholar's clothes and pulled the scholar up with a hard tug. Before we could turn around, we felt a strong wind mixed with a fishy smell blowing towards our faces. I secretly screamed "not good" in my heart, and subconsciously threw the flashlight backhand and threw it in front of me. This is a subconscious action made in a panic, full of strength, and the tactical flashlight is heavy and hard, it may have hit the python, anyway, the head of the snake did not come as promised, the scholar and I escaped the blow, and quickly turned around and ran backwards together.

The area of the lower dormitory was not very large, and we ran to the wall in a few steps. There's nowhere to run. Looking back, the five-headed python actually crawled over slowly. I looked at it, and it was actually more than ten meters long, which was simply an Amazon. We have no way back, and we are about to become the snack of this beast. The fourth master suddenly said, "A few of you, climb up the steps of the original road!" As soon as the words fell, the fourth master jumped from the side to the side and behind the five giant pythons. The giant python actually flicked its tail quickly and swept towards the fourth master accurately. The fourth master didn't expect the five-headed python to be so sensitive, and wanted to dodge sideways, but the bounce momentum just now was exhausted, and the soles of his feet had not touched the ground, so he had nowhere to exert his strength. Seeing that I was about to be hit hard by this blow, I mentioned my throat with the scholar and Lao Xu Xin. After all, he is a member of the Holy Dragon Gate, and the fourth master's skills are simply unfathomable, and he drew out his soft sword in an instant, and used his sword to point to the stone wall, and actually used his strength to delay the momentum of the forward rush, and he was able to avoid the tail sweeping blow of the giant python.

When the giant python saw that the blow missed, it was furious, and the five heads kept swallowing the letter, turned to the fourth master, and waited for the opportunity to move. As the saying goes, a hundred years old creatures become fine. These five giant pythons are estimated to have already become refined, and their wisdom and strength are incomparable to ordinary snakes. The fourth master didn't dare to be careless, holding a soft sword in his hand, looking for the loophole of the python there. The three of us didn't dare to come out, so we had to stand there against the wall, trying to shine a flashlight on the giant python to provide a vision for the fourth master.
