Chapter 1441: The Secret of the Holy Land 1
"Plop!" After Fan Wei felt that his feet had stepped on the ground in the darkness, he finally loosened the straw rope, groped and took out the wooden stick he had prepared, and used a match to ignite the weeds wrapped above the wooden sticks, and the weeds quickly burned when they encountered the flames. The cavern, full of darkness, was also illuminated by fiery red flames.
Fan Wei looked around vigilantly, and after only discovering some ancient special characters carved on the stone wall, there was only one passage leading to the unknown ahead.
After there was really no danger, Fan Wei raised the torch and waved it a few times above the cave, signaling that the two girls could also come down. It didn't take long for Li Shiqi to climb down first, and then Yang Li. Since the straw rope was strong enough, and the two girls were slender and light, there was no danger to the arrival.
"Shiqi, can you read the words on the wall?" Fan Wei was very helpless, because even the golden needle didn't know the strange words carved on the stone wall. It seems that this ancient text must be very rare.
Li Shiqi took the torch and looked carefully at the ancient words carved on the stone wall, she said with a strange and ugly expression, "These words ...... It's very old, some like our Five Dragons ethnic language, but it seems to be a little different. I don't quite understand it either...... But I could see one word clearly, but ......"
"What word?" Fan Wei is a little strange, why does Li Shiqi have such an expression?
"Here, I know the word, it's death." Li Shiqi pointed to the last ancient character, and when he heard the meaning of this word, Fan Wei and Yang Li were frightened in an instant.
"Does this mean that the passage ahead is a dead end? Or is there danger in the passage ahead? Yang Li covered her mouth, but she still couldn't help but say with a frightened suspicion, "Are these words meant to warn?" ”
"I don't know, that's all I know." Li Shiqi's face was also cold, and the excitement and joy just now had long since completely disappeared.
Fan Wei sighed deeply, raised his head and said, "Now we only have this road ahead, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, even if there is a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front, we must also break through, otherwise we will really be trapped here." ”
"yes...... Now we have to go to the dead end, and we have to go even more alive. As long as there is a road, there is still hope, and if there is no road, there is really no hope at all. Li Shiqi also said helplessly bitterly, "We must move forward, these words, don't read them!" ”
After the three of them made up their minds, Fan Wei took the torch in front of him, and cautiously began to walk slowly towards the passage ahead. There was no ancient writing on the stone walls along the road, nothing of value or any useful information. This cave looks so ordinary, so ordinary that it even gives Fan Wei a feeling of being extremely ordinary. If it weren't for the ancient dead word just now that stimulated him, he wouldn't have been so vigilant and worried.
I don't know how long the three of them walked like this, but the passage in front of them suddenly became a little wider. Just as Fan Wei was vigilantly trying to tell the two girls behind him to be more careful, he suddenly stopped and looked ahead in amazement!
The two women in the back saw Fan Wei stop without warning, and Li Shiqi said a little strangely at this time, "Fan Wei? Why don't you leave? ”
"You ...... Take a look at the front for yourselves......" Fan Wei sighed lightly and said with a wry smile, "I now understand what that dead word just now means." ”
Li Shiqi and Yang Li walked forward from behind Fan Wei in confusion, and forgot about it in the dim firelight, and suddenly the beautiful eyes of the two women showed a look of shock, Yang Li was even so frightened that she covered her mouth with a bloodless face and ran to the back to retch!
It turned out that in the passage in front of Fan Wei, there were several corpses that had already been dried, and these corpses were now only some tattered clothes and skeletons, and it seemed that they had been dead for a long time. As for why these people died in this passage, of course Fan Wei didn't know, and he had no way of knowing. But seeing so many dead people at one time is still very shocking.
"These people...... They used to be all members of the Five Poisons Sect! It was still faintly discernible from their tattered clothes. Li Shiqi endured his fear, walked to the corpse and observed it carefully, and then said, "These people seem to have some scars on their bodies, and judging from the trajectory of these scars, it seems that they all committed suicide." Don't...... Are they all the ancestors of our clan who built the Five Dragons Holy Land? Would you rather kill yourself in the Holy Land in order not to divulge the secrets of the Holy Land? ”
"It's very likely, if that's the case, then the ancient characters carved on the stone wall just now are likely to be their suicide note." Fan Wei smiled bitterly, "It seems that the dead word was written by them for themselves, not for us." ”
"Hey...... I really admire them, they are all good predecessors of my clan. Li Shiqi respectfully bowed deeply to the corpse on the ground, "It is good to sacrifice yourself for the sake of the holy land." ”
"Let's go, let's keep walking and see what's in front of us." Fan Wei didn't have time to waste time with these burial guys, what he wanted most now was to find an exit to the outside world!
The three of them shuttled through these corpses, and Yang Li endured the discomfort and continued to move forward with Fan Wei and Li Shiqi. This passage seemed to be very long, at least Fan Wei already felt that if it did not lead to the outside world, it would definitely lead to a very mysterious area.
Sure enough, after the three of them walked a long distance, the passage became more wide. At this time, the three of them can even pass sideways together. However, for the sake of vigilance, Fan Wei still asked to explore and move forward in a line.
The passage is getting bigger, and the road is getting wider and smoother. And along the way, they saw a lot of self-cut air-dried corpses. The cave passage gradually turned into a wide avenue, and the ground began to be paved with cyan stone slabs, and Fan Wei realized that there must be a big secret ahead.
After walking for nearly five or six minutes, Fan Wei, who was holding a torch, was the first to see through the firelight that a large human building had finally appeared in the darkness in the distance, similar to the ancient ancestral hall, although it was already a little dirty, but it still showed its former glory! This building is completely built in the cave, the workmanship is not only magnificent and very fine, in front of the ancestral hall, on the wall, it is carved with a big "Tang Gate" word that is eye-catching!
"Tang Gate...... This is the standard ancient Chinese character! Fan Wei, here...... I'm afraid that's where the real Five Dragons Holy Land is, right? Li Shiqi looked at the large ancient building in front of him excitedly, and said excitedly, "I never dreamed that I would be able to come here once in my lifetime to visit the holy land of the Five Dragons!" ”
