Chapter 61: The World of Ruins
After Xiao Liu was affected by the mysterious ripples, he felt an irresistible force quickly surround him, just like Sister Lan, he was also pulled by this force and submerged into the stone gate.
The world inside the door seemed to be pitch black before, but when Xiao Liu was wrapped in the ripples, the scene he saw changed dramatically, all the darkness dissipated at that moment, and a green world appeared in front of his eyes.
There are trees, flowers, and grass, and in the distance there is a mountain surrounded by clouds that look like the legendary fairy mountain.
At the same time, he found that he was flying quickly over a woodland, and his whole body showed no signs of falling at all, and Sister Lan in front of him was in the same situation as him.
After about a few minutes, Xiao Liu was pulled by the force and flew close to the mountain, landing on a circular stone plate in front of the mountain.
"Sister Lan, are you okay?"
After Xiao Liu found that he could move freely, he took two steps forward and came to Miao Lanlan's side and asked.
Miao Lanlan turned around and smiled at him when she heard this, shook her head and said
"You're all right, of course I'll be fine. I didn't expect this place to be a cave. I've heard of certain powers that can create small worlds parallel to the real world, but I didn't expect it to be true. Although we don't have the sun, moon and stars above our heads, we can't see the dome either, and this is probably a small world!"
Xiao Liu didn't understand what Qiankun Small World was, but after listening to Sister Lan's explanation, he generally understood.
While they were talking, another person fell here behind them, and Meng Liang also arrived.
"Secret envoy, it seems that we have really found an ancient ruin! Could this be the legendary Qiankun small world?!"
Meng Liang excitedly accosted Miao Lanlan.
But Miao Lanlan felt more disgusted with this guy the more she looked at it, and just pretended not to hear it, and looked up at the fairy mountain in front of her.
Xiao Liu looked around curiously, wanting to see how this so-called Qiankun small world was different from the outside world.
At this time, Mo Wu in Xiao Liu's mind said thoughtfully
"The sky is round, the formation when you just entered and when you landed is secretly in line with the truth of heaven and earth, the master here should not be simple, you must be careful, don't give your life in vain!"
Mo Wu's reminder made Xiao Liu's heart more and more vigilant.
A moment later, the leading ghost hand of the three took the lead towards the only mountain, Xiao Liu followed without hesitation, and Meng Liang vaguely glanced back in the direction they came from before keeping up with the pace of the two.
The air is cool, the trees are constantly producing fresh oxygen, but there is no sound of birds and insects.
Everything was quiet, not even the slightest wind, as if there were only three of them left in the whole world.
This kind of silence is nothing at first glance, but after a long time, it has invisibly become a kind of pressure, which makes Xiao Liusan's spirit tense all the time.
The fairy mountain is not very high, and a small road spreads over it and leads to the top.
Because there are many permanent white clouds that cover the area around the summit, the scene from the top of the mountain cannot be seen.
Soon they came to the place halfway up the mountain, a stone tablet stood on the side of the road, on which was engraved with an ancient font, the three of them couldn't understand what was written at all, even Mo Wu couldn't recognize what era this font came from this time.
However, the more he couldn't understand it, the more it showed the antiquity of this place, so Meng Liang was not only not distressed, but was very excited.
When he was about to leave, Xiao Liu found that not far from the stone tablet, there was a small pile of black ashes, like the product of something that had been burned.
Xiao Liu took a closer look, and these ashes were indeed produced after something was burned as he thought, because of his approach, a slight wind was brought up in the air, and those black ashes were immediately blown away by this wind, and soon dispersed into the distance.
An ominous feeling made Xiao Liu's heart very heavy, although he didn't know what the true face of the ashes was, he had a hunch that this was definitely not a trace of dead branches and leaves after burning.
Seeing that Ghost Hand and Meng Liang had already walked dozens of steps away, Xiao Liu hurriedly collected his mind and followed.
No matter how far the road is, the time will finally come to an end, and the three of them finally stepped into the clouds without any danger or danger, and the top of the mountain is in front of them.
The part of the mountaintop, obscured by the clouds, finally became clear, with a stone table and two stone benches, and behind it was a simple cave entrance, with vigorous inscriptions carved in some unknown script on both sides and on the top.
It is clear that there were people living here, and there were definitely not many of them.
When Meng Liang saw the scene here, he immediately rushed into the cave with some impatience, and Xiao Liu and Ghost Hand glanced at each other and followed into the cave.
The space in the cave is smaller than imagined, it is believed that the owner here excavated the place to live before his death, two stone chairs, in the direction of the cave entrance, there are some stone furniture for living, and some unshaped utensils that have been eroded by time.
After Xiao Liu took a few steps closer, he was surprised to find that on one of the two chairs, there was also a pinch of black ashes, which was very similar to the one he saw outside, and even the weight was about the same!
In this cave, apart from the most resistant stone objects, there are very few things that have survived the erosion of time and survived to this day.
"Isn't it?!Is it just these things?!Are we just here to visit the former homes of the ancients?!"
Meng Liang couldn't accept this result, the imaginary ancient ruins should be full of cherished and precious treasures, what anti-heaven elixir, invincible magic weapon, shouldn't they all be produced in this mysterious place?
Why is it that this shabby place where they came only has some tattered things that have been eroded by the years and will be scattered and shattered by the wind when they touch them!?
The two eyes of the ghost hand also showed a look of disappointment after a moment's scrutiny, it seemed that this was just a place where some ancient people had lived, and nothing of value had been left behind.
"It seems that we have made this trip in vain! Check it carefully, if you don't get anything, let's go!"
The ghost hand said to the other two, and his tone was inevitably a little unenergetic.
After hearing this, Xiao Liu walked around the cave quietly, and finally came to the stone chair with black ashes, and put the handful of things into the storage bag.
A pinch of ashes disappeared without attracting anyone's attention, because it was just meaningless.
But the reason why Xiao Liu did this was definitely not idle, because Mo Wu in his mind came to an amazing conclusion after comparing before and after.
That is, if nothing else, these ashes should be the traces left by the owner of the life here after he was burned alive!
This conclusion almost made Xiao Liu exclaim, and he finally suppressed the terrifying feeling in his heart and asked in an echo
"Fifth brother, didn't you say that the master here is not simple? How could he be burned alive and turned into ashes?! Since it is the ashes of a dead man, what are you asking me to put away?!"
Mo Wu's voice was a little suppressed this time, and he replied in a very serious tone
"Boy, it is precisely because I have judged that the owner here was not simple in his life that I can deduce that the two pinches of ashes you see are those left behind after their deaths. If you think about it, ordinary things, even steel and metal, can hardly withstand the erosion of time, and it is difficult to find any complete objects here except for stone things. But how can those two pinches of ashes be able to last so long without dispersing? There is no wind in this small world, and there are no other creatures, so the ashes will not drift away due to external forces, but how can they withstand the polishing of time and remain to this day? There is only one explanation, that is, these two pinches of ashes are the ashes left behind by the incineration of people of extraordinary strength!"
"The stronger the true power, the higher the level of life, and the closer it is to the essence of the world! Therefore, even if they are the ashes left behind after death, they can withstand the erosion and preservation of the years for a long time! This is also the reason why I asked you to put it away! As long as my divine soul power recovers a little, I will be able to exert a higher level of power, and it will not be impossible to read the information left in this rubbing of ashes when the time comes! When the time comes, all the exercises and secret techniques in the life of a senior great power will be read by me, and then I will be able to pass them on to you!
Mo Wu's explanation made Xiao Liu immediately dumbfounded.
Just by keeping those two handfuls of ashes intact, you can guess so much information, who is this fifth brother who is sacred?!
And he seems to have just said that he could read the information inside the ashes of the dead?
What an amazing ability this is?!
Before Xiao Liu could say anything more, the ghost hand and Meng Liang on the other side had already made no new discoveries in the cave and were ready to leave disappointed.
"Boy, if you have something to say later, I'm afraid you will have another test of life and death this time. Because there's someone in this little world coming in again!"
Xiao Liu was shocked when he heard this, and he blurted out before he had time to think about it
"Watch out, someone's coming!"
The ghost hand and Meng Liang's reaction when they heard this was completely different, the ghost hand was immediately alert, and at the same time, her eyes were full of doubts, this operation was obviously extremely secretive, and only the three of them knew about it from beginning to end, and if it was to be counted, at most a prince would know.
According to reason, it is impossible for the three of them to have news leakage, right, could it be that one of the three of them leaked the news?
The first person to suspect by the ghost hand was Xiao Liu, but she soon denied her idea, if it was really Xiao Liu who leaked the news, then how could he remind him?
Then the ghost hand turned the object of suspicion and his gaze to Meng Liang's side, this guy who was also loyal to the crown prince as himself, could it be that he leaked the news?
Soon the ghost hand's suspicions were confirmed, because Meng Liang was not only not surprised at all after hearing Xiao Liu's voice, but instead had a smug smile on his face.
"You?!Did you leak our whereabouts?"
Ghost Hand even forgot to change her voice, and asked incredibly in her original crisp and beautiful voice.
