Chapter 387: The Stone Chamber of Two Worlds
Everyone followed the faint light in the distance to Sora's side, and Sora pointed to the black wall and asked tremblingly, "What is this?" ”
Jiraiya looked in the direction of the empty finger, and it was also a black stone wall.
It's just that this wall is slightly different from the surrounding walls, and on this wall, there are some clear inscriptions.
The fonts on these inscriptions are distorted and difficult to distinguish, and from the knowledge of everyone at the scene, it is not even clear which era these inscriptions are from.
But judging from the fact that the shallow outlines of these inscriptions are far less sharp than the gaps in the stone columns, it is safe to assume that the inscriptions on this wall must have been inscribed earlier than the stone pillars that supported the cellar.
This discovery immediately shocked Jiriku, who was the abbot of the Temple of Fire, because although it was rare for people to come to the depths of this cellar, there were always curious monks who came in, and he himself had been there twice.
But why did the other monks never notice such a strange wall, and the twisted inscriptions on the wall?
"How is this possible? How could there be such a thing here? ”

This wall with the inscription actually appeared in front of Dilu's eyes, and Dilu could only prevaricate himself with his previous carelessness, so he didn't find this kind of reason to prevaricate.
And the self on the side also saw the reaction of the earth and the land, and also knew that the earth and the land did not know the existence of the wall on this side.
As for the words engraved on the walls, even Zilai was completely incomprehensible.
However, I have also heard that some ancient families in the ninja world will have stone tablets handed down from their ancestors, which are used to record some family secrets.
If it is an outsider, it is impossible to understand the secrets on the stele, and only the descendants of this family can use special means to understand the contents of the stele.
For example, the family stele of the Uchiha clan.
After the Uchiha clan perished, Danzo sent someone to study the stone tablet in the ancestral hall of the Uchiha clan, but found that the text on it only recorded the superficial history of the Uchiha clan, so he gave up.
But I also feel that the meaning of this stone tablet for the Uchiha clan cannot be just a spiritual symbol, and there should be a deeper meaning hidden in it.
It's like a stone wall in front of you that has no meaning at all.
However, the large number of inscriptions engraved on the wall still makes Jiraiya feel a little informal.
It shouldn't just be a wall...
Jiraiya tried to push the wall, and the seemingly solid wall turned flexibly under the impetus of Jiraiya.
With the middle of the stone wall as the central axis, the wall quickly deflected and was right in front of everyone.
It's a trapdoor!
There's a trapdoor hidden in the depths of the Fire Temple's cellars!
This kind of terrifying information was the most shocking to Jilu, because he had taken over the Fire Temple for so many years, and he had never known that there was such a place in the cellar of the Fire Temple.
Behind the flap, the light finally shone into the long-dusty space.
This is a small stone hall, which is very small compared to the small square-like cellar in front of it, but it contains countless times more information than the cellar just now.
In the center of the temple was a dusty altar, which, judging by the thickness of the dust, was older than the cellar.
Around the altar, there are six monolithic pillars of a completely different style from the stone pillars in the cellar, and they are also inscribed with the same strange inscriptions as the walls.
Except that it has the same mottled bloodstains as in the depths of the cellar, both the architectural style and the old exotic stone pillars here are completely different from the cellar just now.
The black trapdoor just now seems to be the dividing line between the two worlds!
Could it be that this is the ominous secret that has lived under the Temple of Fire for hundreds of years?
"Here... How so? ”
[Get 1400 Trembling Points from the Earth!] 】
The abbot of the Fire Temple, Jiriku, stared at everything around him with wide eyes, he had never imagined that such a place existed in the depths of the cellar of the Fire Temple.
There was a very strong and strange aura here, what was the purpose of the altar that was covered in blood and had even eroded deep into its rock face?
What kind of history does these distorted inscriptions write?
Is this the history of the Temple of Fire?
That ugly past?
At this moment, Jiraiya, who was squatting aside and carefully observing the ground, noticed something.
On this long-lost ground, small but abominable footprints exist on it.
The footprints resemble the palms of a baby's hands, but judging by their misshapen fingers and quadrupedal form, they can only be those of man-eating rats.
The footprints surged from the trapstone door to the bottom of the altar before suddenly vanishing.
Jiraiya leaned over to the altar and found that the bottom of the stone altar was not fixed to the ground like the base of a normal altar, but had an obvious notch with the ground.
Realizing the unusual nature of this altar, Jiraiya immediately set aside the lantern and put his hands on the altar to push the ancient boulder that made up the altar with all his might.
The dull and stiff sound of the friction between rocks echoes in the small space, and it is only then that the people around them, who are confused by various emotions, realize that Jiraiya is moving.
"What are you doing? Jiraiya-sama? ”
Jiraiya didn't answer, because the huge altar had been slowly pushed away from its original position by Jiraiya's strange power.
Although Jiraiya's strange power is far less than Tsunade, it is still not a problem to push this shoulder-high stone altar.
And this further confirms Jiraiya's suspicion that this altar is as movable as the trapdoor on the wall.
As the altar slowly moved away, a gust of wind suddenly blew from the gap between the altar and the ground, which alarmed some fine dust on the ground, causing the two short onlookers next to him to cough.
These short air currents that overflowed from under the altar seemed to be bursts of demonic wind, blowing the hearts of everyone in the stone chamber.
This demon wind was not without a smell, and the stench of some bloody and rotting flesh permeated it, and Jilu Kazuku immediately covered his mouth and nose with long sleeves, and Naruto couldn't help but complain.
"What is this? Why does it stink so much? ”
However, I didn't care about the smell, because it was very likely that this was where the rats were hiding, and the filth was hidden in the filthy place, which was very reasonable.
But the only thing that makes Jiraiya feel unreasonable is that it is in the depths of the cellar right now, and no matter how much you move, you can't create such a huge air current.
But why is the wind blowing now?
