Volume 5: The First Song Five Hundred and Twenty: The Pool of Cold Water (12)

Before walking out of the passage and entering the fourth layer, the five people were a little nervous, the more they encountered Wen Liang downward, the greater the possibility of punishment and Hua Cong, so with the downward footsteps, the hearts of the five people gradually tightened, ready to do it at any time, but when they were about to walk out of this passage, Li Jian still signaled to his companions that there was no abnormality in the fourth layer in front of him, at least there was no monk's breath within his sense.

Then it seems that those people who are gentle will probably hide on the fifth or sixth floor.

After coming out, everyone found that there was a big difference between the fourth layer and the third layer.

First of all, the space of the fourth floor is not as large as the third floor, and the structure is very simple. The second is that the fourth layer as a whole is unconventional, here is about 100 zhang long, dozens of lengths wide, about 10 zhang high, boxy, flat as the inside of a big box, unlike the first three floors are all along the direction of the cave curved or maintain its natural form or be repaired, here it looks like it is completely dug out by manpower, the walls of the cave on all sides are straight and flat, the ground is flat without potholes, even the top of the cave above is the same, the exit of the passage is in the corner of this boxy space, The top of this place has the same glowing fluorite mineral they had seen a few times before, and it illuminates the place very brightly.

Of course, this is the place where the Yu Nian Hui of the sect has been entrenched for a long time, and there are people here almost all the year round, so there are also places for those people to live, and the people of the Yu Nian Hui did not build some houses like the third floor of the scattered cultivation, but dug out many stone chambers in the cave wall, one next to each other, the doors and windows are adjacent, and the shape is similar, and it looks very neat. There is also light in the stone room, but among the stone walls on all sides, all the stone rooms are only excavated on one stone wall, and the other three sides are not.

From the position where the five of them were, those stone chambers were diagonally opposite, although there were many of them, of course, Li Jian had already signaled that there was no one here, so a few people were not worried about any danger here.

Another point is that there are no corpses here, unlike the third layer, which is full of corpses and is full of a strong smell of corruption, which makes Tang Ping and Yan Xuan breathe a sigh of relief.

Because it was very different from the first three floors, the five people looked around curiously after they walked in.

"It looks a lot more deserted here than the previous floor." Li Jian said.

"How is this place empty?" Yan Xuan said: "What about the people of the Yu Nian Meeting, weren't those people there when Wen Liang came to occupy this place?" ”

Money tide says:

"No, the people of the Yu Nian Hui have been active here, well, it may be that Yan Ding killed too much on the third layer, Wen Liang was worried that the number of substitute ghosts would not be enough, so here only those people from the Yu Nian Hui were injured and captured, and then they were all taken to the bottom of the cold pool."

Yan Xuan nodded.

Tang Ping looked up and said:

"It's boxy, it's weird, it's like we're in a big box."

Money tide says:

"Let's go, let's go to the stone chamber over there, we should be able to find some clues that will be left over the years."

At this time, Lu Pingchuan suddenly said for some reason:

"Hehe, if this place is high and low, wide and narrow, what do you think this place looks like? Aren't we like we're in a big coffin? ”

When these words came out, Qian Chao and Li Jian shook their heads speechlessly, and Tang Ping said angrily when he heard it:

"Brother Lu, you're talking nonsense again!"

"Hey, hey."

Then the five of them walked towards the stone wall where the stone chamber had been carved on the opposite side.

After all, this place is not particularly big, in the process of walking over, five people can see through the doors and windows of those stone chambers into its interior, all are very simple, nothing more than some stone beds and stone tables, there are many stone chambers on the stone wall, and there is a stone chamber in the center of the stone wall should be the largest one, at a glance the door of the stone chamber is also the widest one, there is a distance from the stone door to the left and right before the stone chamber is excavated, think that the stone chamber must be not small.

Lu Pingchuan didn't know what he saw, and suddenly he didn't know how to get excited all of a sudden, he walked a few steps to the front, stretched out his head and looked carefully at the largest stone room, and after confirming something, he turned around and said excitedly to a few companions:

"Hey, there's something good! Check it out, it's there! ”

While talking excitedly, Lu Pingchuan also raised a thick arm and pointed to the largest stone room, and said hurriedly:

"Look, look! It's really a good thing, haha, it's all good wine that is old, we didn't come in vain this time! ”

The other four were confused by Lu Pingchuan's actions, and then the eyes of the four of them followed the direction he pointed through the door of the largest stone room and looked in, and there were several layers of dense inside, almost full of jars.

No wonder Lu Pingchuan would say that there is all good wine.

"I really didn't expect there to be such a good thing in this cold pool!" Lu Pingchuan has let go.

Qian Chao heard Chu Yuan talk about this place, so he knew what was in those jars, but Li Jian, Tang Ping and Yan Xuan couldn't see it clearly, and seeing that Lu Pingchuan was so excited, he also thought that there were an incredible number of wine jars stored there, and at this time Lu Pingchuan had already taken a big stride and trotted there, it seemed that he couldn't wait to grab a jar and pat open the mud seal and drink it.

When Qian Chao saw Lu Pingchuan running there, he immediately knew what he was going to do, and said hurriedly:

"Brother Lu, no, stop, that's not wine, that's ......"

At this time, Lu Pingchuan could still listen to it, and said while running over:

"Brother Qian, don't lie to me, hehe, I know that some good wines need to be cellared for many years to taste the best, in fact, they just find some caves to hide in them and then take them out for many years before drinking, right? Eh, isn't this a good place to store wine? ”

"Oh, Brother Lu," Qian Chao could only shout when he saw that Lu Pingchuan had already run into the largest stone room, "You can see it clearly first, and then say, if it's not wine, don't touch those jars." ”

"Don't worry, hehe, I'm going to pick a jar of the oldest to taste, um, and then take all these wines away, hehe, my master always says that the wine is the fragrance of aging, and I don't know how many years these wines have been here, it must be ...... Well? ”

When he said this, Lu Pingchuan had already picked up an altar from those jars, and when he came to the front of him, he seemed to use his nose to smell the aroma of wine, but when he picked up the jar, he found that something was wrong, if the jar was filled with wine, he could naturally feel the wine syrup shaking inside, but these jars didn't feel this feeling in his hands at all, there was indeed something in it that was also shaking, but it was by no means wine, it was like a jar of fine sand, and this jar was very light, not like the amount covered with wine syrup, Then he also found that there were words on the jar in his hand, Lu Pingchuan didn't know many words, and he didn't recognize what was written for a while.

Immediately he put down this altar in confusion, and picked up another jar, and also felt that it was not filled with wine syrup, and the amount was not right at all, it was also very light, he turned his head to Qian Chao, who had approached, and said:

"Brother Qian, this ...... It's not wine, come and help me take a look, there's still writing on it, what is it written? ”

Qian Chao and the four of them had already walked in, and when they saw the jar in Lu Pingchuan's hand, Qian Chao looked at it and said with a smile:

"The jar in your hand is written with the words 'Zhao Shunyu', Brother Lu, this should be a personal name, alas, don't you know what you are holding?"

Lu Pingchuan still didn't understand, looked at the jar in his hand and then looked at a few companions:

"Who is this Zhao Shunyu?"

Tang Ping said with a smile:

"We don't know who Zhao Shunyu is, I haven't heard of this name, but I know where he is now?"

"Where?" Lu Pingchuan asked casually.

"Brother Lu," Yan Xuan also understood a long time ago, and said helplessly, "He is in your hands." ”

"Huh? This ......"

"Brother Lu," Li Jian also couldn't help but smile and said, "The soldiers in the army are fighting, if they die in battle, it is quite inconvenient to transport the bones back, and it is easy to get plague after a long time, if you only cut your hair and nails urgently and bring them back, the corpse will be buried on the spot, if you are calm, you will be cremated and then bring the ashes back, well, it is put into a box or jar......"

"Ahh Lu Pingchuan then widened his eyes and looked at the jar in his hand, "This...... Is it ashes here? Hey! It's unlucky! ”

After speaking, Lu Pingchuan put the jar in his hand back angrily, and then he stared at the jar full of the spacious stone room and said in disbelief:

"This ...... Are all ashes? How to put it here to deceive people! ”

"You ran so fast just now!" Tang Ping smiled and said, "I can't persuade you, what did you just say, do you want us to help find the oldest altar from here for you to taste?" ”

"Hehe, no, no......"

Qian Chao stopped laughing and said:

"Senior Brother Chu Yuan told me, I don't know when the Yu Nian Hui began to dissolve the bones of those who fell because they failed to build a foundation, and stored the ashes here, which is what we see in front of us. Putting these altars here is intended to inspire those who have been in the past few years, don't look at Senior Brother Chu Yuan's status in the Yu Yuan meeting, but he also doesn't know how many columbarium altars are hidden here. Well, Senior Brother Chu Yuan also said at the time that if he hadn't met us, he would have thought that in a few years, his ashes altar would have been placed here. ”

I don't know how deep the largest stone chamber is, but what you can see near the door is the rows of jars stacked inside, almost to the top of the stone chamber, and the top of the stone chamber also has glowing minerals, and by the bright light, looking through the gap in the jar, I don't know how many such jars there are.

On the third floor, the five of them saw corpses all over the ground, and the scene shocked them, they didn't expect that there were countless jars for storing ashes on the fourth floor, and they were all people from the Yu Nian Hui who had fallen in the past, and the feeling that these countless jars brought to the five of them was shocking.

"It seems that the rest of the year will be there for a long time!" Li Jian sighed.

"Not bad."
