"Child, let's go!" said the old ancestor abruptly. He kicked the bricks on the side of a stone statue, and after seven or eight times in succession, the wall in front of him creaked, and in a few moments, a narrow entrance was revealed in the wall. Old Zu pulled him in, and then the stone door behind him "creaked" shut.

It is a karst cave with strange rocks, thick stalactites hanging upside down overhead, and in some places even connecting to the ground. The cave is so large that it can be divided into numerous narrow passages by stalactites. After entering, the ancestor simply picked him up, held the torch in his hand, and walked cautiously towards a narrow path.

"What kind of place is this?" asked Tian Nongxiang.

"The emperor is deep in the bones. ”

Tian Nongxiang's heart moved, "Emperor?"

"Yes!"

"Emperor's grave?" Tian Nongxiang asked cautiously.

"Emperor Qiu Tiannong is the guardian of the emperor's tomb. The ancestor's voice was low, and it also confirmed Tian Nongxiang's guess in disguise.

Since it was a tomb, what did the ancestor take him for? Tian Nongxiang was puzzled, could it be that the so-called wordless tablet was hidden here? However, the ancestor did not speak again, and walked slowly inside, only the slight footsteps and the intermittent sound of dripping water sounded in his ears, and the place became more and more silent and gloomy.

It took about half an hour to walk through before he came to a cave. It's a labyrinth. Tian Nongxiang secretly thought about looking around, the path is more than ten million, if it is not for the ancestor to take it, it must be trapped in this cave.

"We're here!" the old ancestor carried him and walked towards the cave.

Tian Nongxiang suddenly felt that there was a shadow flashing in the distance. His heart tightened, "Ancestor, there are people!"

The ancestor was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "In an extraordinary place, there must be illusory things, so it's not surprising. ”

Not to mention that it's okay, after the ancestor's explanation, Tian Nongxiang's heart almost jumped to his throat. He was clearly euphemistically saying that it was haunted.

"You saw that too?" Tian Nongxiang asked nervously.

The Ancestor put him on the ground and replied as he stuck the torch in the wall, "A wisp of divine consciousness from the Emperor, you should meet it." ”

Tian Nongxiang could almost hear the sound of his own heart beating. Divine sense, isn't that a ghost!

In the center of the cave, a platform with nine steps is built of ashlar masonry, and a sarcophagus nearly two meters high and three meters long is displayed on the platform. The dark cave mansion is set off more and more clearly.

Directly in front of the steps, a two-meter-high stone monument was erected, and the black monument was empty.

Old Ancestor pulled him a few steps forward, knelt down at the sarcophagus, and said something in his mouth. Tian Farmer stood beside him. This should be the so-called "wordless stele", right? Tian Nongxiang stared at the stele in a daze. There are really no words, how can I copy them? He looked at the ancestor suspiciously,

"Kneel!" shouted the Ancestor.

Tian Nongxiang didn't dare to make a mistake, so he quickly knelt down beside him and kowtowed a few times in a proper manner.

Old Ancestor pulled him up and stretched out his hand to ** his head, "The wordless tablet is the supreme thing of our clan, from now on, you can copy it." There is the protection of the emperor, and there is the concern of the whole family, so you must not slack off. ”

It's good that the ancestor didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Tian Nongxiang unconsciously glanced at the sarcophagus and shuddered: Doesn't this mean that there are ghosts with him? In the past, he didn't believe in this thing, but now he believes it, and he believes it thoroughly. Hurriedly asked, "Is the ancestor leaving?"

"I'll protect the Dharma for you. Old Ancestor said in a deep voice.

Tian Nongxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay if you don't leave, if you leave yourself here alone to accompany the sarcophagus, it doesn't feel like a taste when you think about it.

Next to the stele, Tian Nongxiang stretched out his little hand and gently touched the stele, puzzled. Suddenly, there seemed to be stripes at the bottom of the stele, and Tian Nongxiang was so shocked that he leaned down to inspect it, only to see a small crack in the bend and oblique slanting stele, dividing the stele into two parts.

At this time, the ancestor was also looking at him, "This monument is from the hands of the ancient powers, it is said that during the ancient war, the lower half was broken and lost, and only the upper half was left in our clan." ”

"This is ......," Tian Nong Xiang looked at the ancestor in surprise.

"The lower part of this is made up by the emperor. But in the end, it does not belong to the whole, and it is of no great use. Old Ancestor said regretfully.

It's just a remnant stele, is it really as amazing as the clansmen say? He raised his little face, gently ** the upper half of the stele, and asked, "How should this be copied?"

Old Ancestor nodded with satisfaction, "This monument has a spirit, if you can communicate with it, it will evolve itself." As for how much you can evolve, it depends on your creation. ”

Tian Nongxiang turned his head to look at the ancestor, because the old man had been talking for a long time, and he didn't seem to tell him how to copy. Nonsense, the old men of the Diqiu farmers all love to fool people, and they don't make drafts.

"What kind of communication method?" Tian Nongxiang asked, staring at the ancestor.

"You want to understand it, and it needs to know you. As much as you secretly agree with it, it will evolve for you. For hundreds of years, there have been more than a thousand people in our tribe, and at most they have obtained less than two bundles of height. ”

"It's so hard?"

"Don't force it. If it is forcibly cracked, it will either be wasted or scattered. ”

Tian Nong Xiang bared his teeth, and he didn't hear this sentence less when he was in the clan.

Old Ancestor stared at him solemnly, "You have no cultivation, copying this monument is the starting point of your cultivation." Cultivation is the path against the heavens, and if you want to go further on this road, you have to break off the idea of forcibness. ”

Tian Nongxiang nodded as if he didn't understand, and then shook his head again, "Since cultivation is the path against the sky, how can you go far without forcing it?"

"How can you go far if you force yourself to fall?" said the Ancestor sternly.

"If you don't ask for it, how can you be strong, and if you don't want to be strong, how can you go far?" Tian Nongxiang looked up at his little face and the ancestor.

The ancestor stared at him for a long time, and once again felt that this child was very special and assertive, which made him more and more worried. I secretly hesitated in my heart, and I didn't know for a while whether I should let this child copy the wordless tablet. If this little guy really forcibly cracked and fell, it would be a pity to lose a good seedling in vain.

After a long time, the old ancestor said abruptly: "Do you know the meaning of your farming in Diqiu?"

Tian Nongxiang was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what the ancestor meant, his eyes widened, and he looked at the vicissitudes of life in front of him suspiciously.

After another period of silence, Old Ancestor sighed, seemed to have made an important decision, and said to his head: "It's good to copy, it is unfair to you to tie the emperor Qiu Tiannong to you." ”

For a while, Tian Nongxiang understood the meaning of the ancestor's words, and remembered that a few months ago, the patriarch had said something similar to him. He didn't understand why these strongmen valued him so much, and his heart was heavy in vain, as if an invisible force was squeezing towards him, making him breathless. He nodded heavily, "I don't force it." ”

Old Ancestor nodded with satisfaction, "Let's start!"
