Chapter 174: Starry Sky Map
After taking a few steps forward, he was closer to the cave, looking at the cave that was close at hand, the corner of Xiao Ran's mouth showed a slight smile;
Using the long sword in his hand to remove some of the vegetation on the cave, Xiao Ran took out a torch from the space ring and lit it, and poked into the cave, after making sure that there was no danger, Xiao Ran bent down and slowly walked inside.
The damp and corrupt breath filled the entire cave, and Xiao Ran's breathing was a little stagnant from its impact, but fortunately, it was only a short while, and after a while, Xiao Ran began to get used to it.
In the cave, there was hardly any light to be seen, Xiao Ran stood at the entrance of the cave and got used to it, so he bent down and got into it.
This is a small round hole only one meter high, if a big man comes, he really can't get in, but fortunately, Xiao Ran's body is not very big, and with bending over, he barely entered it.
Moved his steps with difficulty and walked inside, although he only walked more than ten meters, but it took Xiao Ran a few minutes, no way, it was too difficult to walk.
The white robe has been stained with some sludge on the ground, and it looks dirty, but now Xiao Ran can't care so much, the torch in his hand is in front, Xiao Ran is behind, and Xiao Ran moves slowly.
After about ten more meters, the aura of corruption suddenly disappeared, and the space seemed to be a little larger.
The cat got up and walked slowly inside.
Suddenly, the first-order artificial stone steps appeared at Xiao Ran's feet, and Xiao Ran stepped on it, fortunately, he had been here in his previous life, and Xiao Ran didn't care very much.
Holding a torch in his left hand and the hilt of his sword in his right hand, Xiao Ran walked quickly towards the bottom of the stone steps.
The stone steps are one step at a time down, and with each step, the entrance to the cave is one point higher. After descending the fifth step or so, Xiao Ran was already completely able to stand up.
There are also stone steps below, with no end in sight, and on both sides, there are walls about one meter long, the walls are smooth and flat, and it can be clearly distinguished that they were carved out by humans with some sharp weapons.
However, no one knows who it is, and in the previous life, everyone was speculating whether it was the master of the Divine Determination Exercise. As for whether it is or not, there is no way to verify it.
Continue down the steps, here, there is less oxygen in the air, even Xiao Ran feels a little difficult to breathe, and the torch in his hand is about to go out because of the lack of oxygen.
Feeling the strangeness of the air, Xiao Ran hurriedly held his breath, and then walked down again.
Steps, a total of twenty-eight. After Xiao Ran stepped down the last one, the surrounding space seemed larger, with the mountains on both sides being two meters apart, and the top of his head being two or three meters high. But it was still pitch black.
"Boom"
A small and sharp sound suddenly came out from the top of Xiao Ran's head, Xiao Ran was startled, and hurriedly looked upward, and his left hand naturally sent the torch upward.
This time. Xiao Ran suddenly felt his scalp tingle, in this small passage, on the stone wall above. There were palm-sized bats everywhere, and these bats were all gathered together, and the strange sounds just now were made by them.
And at this moment, the torch in Xiao Ran's hand happened to be raised, and the heat suddenly made those bats restless, especially the bat on the torch, which was almost burned by the torch, and immediately flew up in shock.
This time, it immediately brought a chain reaction, and countless dense bats flew down and flew towards the depths of the cave in the cave, the grandeur of the scene made Xiao Ran can't help but feel numb in his scalp for a while, and even some of them almost hit Xiao Ran's body.
Frightened, Xiao Ran hurriedly took down the torch and squatted on the ground, his forehead was full of black lines, in his previous life, when he came, there were no bats in it, but in this life, there were so many, a piece of black pressure, fortunately, he didn't attack people, otherwise he would really be in some trouble.
The torch was close to the ground, Xiao Ran was suddenly depressed, on the ground, dense yellow and white things, these are the excrement of these bats, and even in it, there are many animal bones in it.
He himself, who was stepping on it, didn't notice it at first, but now he found it.
But there was no time to think about it, and almost all of the bats flew deeper into the cave, and there were only a few bats left in the vicinity that were still clinging to the rock wall.
Xiao Ran didn't bother to care about this, and walked directly and cautiously to the depths.
The "road" paved by these yellow and white things is nearly five hundred meters away, and Xiao Ran walked about a cup of tea before he walked out of it, and his shoes had been stained a lot, but it was too late to care about these now.
After walking out of that section of the road, Xiao Ran glanced behind him, and continued to walk towards the depths without looking back.
In the distance, the sizzling sound was still coming out, but after knowing what it was, Xiao Ran was not afraid, and walked in it generously, and after a while, Xiao Ran suddenly turned a corner.
The space behind this bend was obviously larger, and Xiao Ran walked into it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"This is it!" Looking at the cliffs that were more than ten meters wide on both sides, Xiao Ran exhaled softly, and finally came out.
The top of the cave is already more than ten meters away from the ground, here, I don't know how many people go deep into the ground, even if it is an existence with extremely strong soul perception ability, it is impossible to perceive the cave with so many soil layers blocking it.
Overhead, those bats were clinging to the rock wall in black, and Xiao Ran entered this time, but he didn't startle them again.
Continue to walk along the cave towards the inside, and after walking for about a hundred meters or so, the front suddenly lights up.
On the rock walls on both sides, small moonstones emitting green light are inlaid on them, reflecting the entire passage in a green and quiet area, but you can also see the scene inside.
Inside, there was nothing, there was nothing, Xiao Ran also knew it in his previous life, so he didn't care much, and quickened his pace and walked inside.
The torch had already been inserted directly into a rock crack by Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran walked more than ten meters through this passage, and the front began to gradually become larger.
The air gradually recovered, Xiao Ran also resumed his breathing, and all around, those damp and rotten breaths had completely disappeared, only the sound of a drop of water falling into the pond came to Xiao Ran's ears.
After identifying the direction, Xiao Ran walked cautiously towards a corner.
Around the corner, Xiao Ran's footsteps paused. In front of Xiao Ran, there were two passages, one to the left and one to the right, the passages were almost identical, Xiao Ran looked at it casually, and chose one of them to walk in on the left.
The passage here is obviously much better than the ones outside, and the two sides of the passage are moonstones that emit milky white luminescence, and the sides of the passage are also very smooth.
However, the passage is very short, only about ten meters. Xiao Ran quickly passed.
Here, it is a relatively spacious cave, there is a futon in the center of the cave, and a pair of tables and chairs, Xiao Ran stood at the entrance of the cave and took a look, recalling the scene of entering here in his previous life.
In his previous life, when Xiao Ran entered here, this place had already been patronized by many strong people, and when Xiao Ran came. Almost nothing left.
In this life, Xiao Ran was the first to come in, and the things inside were really different from what Xiao Ran saw at the beginning.
The cave is not very big. The height is only ten meters, the width is only about twenty meters, and there is no exit around, and the passage through which Xiao Ran enters is the only entrance.
In this cave is located a little bit inside. There was a table with something on top of it.
Xiao Ran's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over.
Come to the front. Xiao Ran suddenly saw clearly what was placed on the table, on which were some ordinary pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.
But perhaps it has been too long, the ink in the inkstone has already dried out, even the brush has rotted, and the milky white hairs on it are even more yellowish.
However, the paper placed on the table attracted Xiao Ran's attention.
It was a yellowed piece of paper, with a pattern on it, and when you looked closely, it was an impossible to see picture of the starry sky.
Seeing the starry sky map, Xiao Ran frowned slightly, in the dark, he seemed to feel that this pattern seemed to be the same as the position of those true qi vortices in his dantian, but now that Xiao Ran had just started cultivating, he couldn't tell the difference, and he could only guess.
The dantian cyclone is ranked according to the trend of the stars, this is the first time Xiao Ran encountered it in his previous life and this life, he has not seen this star map in his previous life, Xiao Ran is also ignorant, I don't know why the cyclone in the dantian should be ranked like that.
Even in this life, Xiao Ran didn't figure it out, but now, after seeing this picture, Xiao Ran somewhat understood, the ones in his body are definitely arranged according to the changes in the starry sky and star dou trend.
Xiao Ran carefully picked up this pattern and looked at it, the pattern was very long, more than a meter, and it was painted all over the paper, dense, but he looked at it for a long time, and he didn't see where it was the same pattern as the cyclone in his body, so he had to give up.
Carefully put away this starry sky map and put it into the space ring, Xiao Ran continued to look at other things.
The inkstone also attracted Xiao Ran's attention, there are several symbols carved on the inkstone, and this inkstone is made of a special material, after so many years, there has been no change in the slightest, Xiao Ran took a look at it and put it away.
Looking around again, there was nothing that could attract Xiao Ran's attention, and after carefully searching and making sure that there was no such thing as a dark grid, Xiao Ran retreated along the same path unsatisfied.
Coming to the intersection of the caves, Xiao Ran glanced at the original cave, and then walked towards another cave next to it.
However, this time, the long sword in Xiao Ran's hand was already tightly held in his hand, and his eyes were also full of nervousness, because he had already felt that there seemed to be a trace of something strange around him.
Raising his footsteps, Xiao Ran walked towards the cave.
Click
A sound suddenly came out, Xiao Ran was shocked, and immediately looked at his feet, under his feet, there was a dark grid mechanism, Xiao Ran just stepped on it, almost didn't think about it, Xiao Ran suddenly jumped to the back, and then ran towards the back without hesitation. (To be continued......)
