Chapter 35: Eternal Flame
The Chen brothers went to check it, and the gems were also one hundred and fifty boxes, and as a native master, they could definitely distinguish the quality of the gemstones, and opened seven boxes, and the gems inside were definitely of the highest quality.
The volume is not small, and it is worth more than 150 boxes of gold when it is shipped back for processing.
At this moment, everyone has confidence.
turned around and came back and said a few words to Guo Jiu and continued to walk forward, after walking for about a quarter of an hour, everyone stopped, there was no road ahead, it was a cliff.
Beneath the cliff is a bottomless abyss.
Guo Jiu stood before breaking the road, thought for a while, turned his head and said to the Chen brothers, "Spread out, look around carefully to see if you find anything, don't touch anything."
The Chen brothers nodded, turned around and conveyed Guo Jiu's order, and everyone scattered around with torches and began to search, and Guo Jiu did the same.
Holding a torch, he walked along the edge of the cliff to the left, and Michicho Ge Yuan walked to the right.
There is such a big space here, Guo Jiu didn't believe that there were no clues at all, and the time was not very long, so he heard someone on the left shouting, "The head of the family, the ninth master, there is a discovery."
Hearing this shout, Guo Jiu turned around and walked towards the place where the voice came from, and soon, the Chen brothers also arrived.
I saw that there was a wall next to the person who made the shout, and there was a ditch next to it, and there were many bones piled up on the side of the ditch, and everyone identified them and found that all of them were human bones.
After Guo Jiu saw this, he came to the wall and looked at several murals on the wall, which showed that a group of monks had pushed countless sinful people into the sea of blood, and two huge Ananda snakes were guarding the monks.
Strangely, the two Bharata snakes did not attack the monks, but accompanied the monks to the abyss, and one of the monks stroked the ananda snake with its head bowed.
The final mural shows Ananda watching the monk cross a long bridge to the opposite bank.
Many people came to Guo Jiu's side and held torches, which was convenient for Guo Jiu to study the mural, and soon, Guo Jiu found a line of words [Boundless Blood Sea Long Bridge] directly above the mural.
Daoist Ge Yuan frowned on the side and said, "Ninth Master, the boundless sea of blood bridge, do you want us to push people into the blood river?" ”。
Guo Jiu sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's really the only way to go."
"Master Chen, let someone check how many skulls are in the bones."
After listening to Guo Jiu's words, the Chen brothers also probably understood what Guo Jiu meant, waved their hands, and took their clansmen and disciples to check the number of skulls in the bone pile on the side.
Guo Jiu and Ge Yuan continued to observe and study the murals.
After a while, the Chen brothers led people to basically turn over the bone pile, and Chen Heming came back and said to Guo Jiu's side, "Ninth Master, three hundred and eighty-forty-nine skulls."
"These people are probably not ordinary people, we also found a lot of jewelry in the bone pile, these are a few of them."
After speaking, he handed over the items in his hand, Guo Jiu took out snakeskin gloves from his body and took them up to take over the jewelry and began to look through it, which was a beautiful necklace.
Composed of rubies and yellow gold, the carvings are so exquisitely made it conceivable that wearing this necklace is like wearing a blazing flame.
After thinking for a while, Guo Jiu said with emotion, "I didn't expect that the Flame Royal Family and the ministers were captured by the Black Lotus Sect and filled the sea of blood."
Everyone was stunned, Flame Country, is there such a country in the world?
They all started thinking about it.
After a while, Chen Heming reacted, "Ninth Master, I remember that there is no such name as the Flame Country in the Western Regions."
"During the period when the Tang Dynasty unified the Western Regions, there was indeed no name for the Flame Country, and after the Flame Royal Family and ministers disappeared overnight, the country began to enter turmoil."
"Later, under the strong intervention of a mysterious sect, it began to stabilize and changed its name to Mountain Country"
"The mountain country had a name a long time ago, called the Mountain Fire Country, and then it was renamed the Fire Country, and finally it was called the Mountain Country, and it is a country with a low sense of existence."
"Although the country is not big, it is the nest of Zoroastrianism!"
"Strength should not be underestimated"
"Later, after the Tang Dynasty Qin Tianjian swept through the Western Regions Sects, the mountain country barely lasted for more than fifty years and disappeared."
"This necklace has a nice name [Eternal Flame], it is a holy relic that only Zoroastrian saints can wear"
Guo Jiu explained, and Chen Heming understood that there was really one of the seventy-two countries in the Western Regions called the Mountain Kingdom, and the subsequent people compiled the history of the Western Regions and characterized it as the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions.
Inside, there is also a kingdom called the mountain country.
At this time, Guo Jiu spoke again, "Master Chen, it's good to sell me this necklace."
"The ninth master is polite, what are you talking about selling, this necklace is given to the ninth master" Chen Heming said this sentence very boldly, Guo Jiuyi smiled at Chen Heming and arched his hand to put away the necklace.
After listening to Guo Jiu's explanation, Chen Heming knew that this necklace called [Eternal Flame] was not simple, but unfortunately, Guo Jiu couldn't refuse when he made a request.
Again, everyone wants to cross the long bridge safely and return without Guo Jiu's strength.
It is necessary to give up a necklace in exchange for Guo Jiu's favor, Chen Heming is worthy of being an old Jianghu, and he instantly figured out the stakes and sold a favor to Guo Jiu.
Guo Jiu put away the necklace and walked to Chen Heming's side, and whispered, "Please come over, big brother, let's talk to the side," Chen Heming nodded after hearing it, and turned to leave.
After a short time, the Chen brothers came over together, Guo Jiuyi waved his hand and walked with Ge Yuandao into the distance, and the Chen brothers followed.
The four of them went to a secluded place to talk.
Guo Jiu looked at the three of them and asked, "Master Chen, do you remember the inference that we are looking for the entrance?" ”。
Chen Hesong looked at Guo Jiu and asked, "Remember, what the Ninth Master means, is this a sealed place?" ”。
Guo Jiu nodded with a serious face.
Admit it.
"Three, the three hundred chests we found are the hidden treasures here, with the arrogance of the Black Lotus Sect, they don't bother to play any tricks to fool people."
"They don't pursue these yellow and white things, they don't care about these things at all"
"The Long Bridge of Boundless Blood Sea"
"According to the meaning of the mural, after the blood sacrifice of three hundred and sixty people, the long bridge leading to the opposite side will appear, and there will be no return!"
"Either stop there, or you can't come back"
"You can only choose one or the other"
"From the skeletons of these two Bharata snakes, it can be seen that those people never came back after reaching the other side"
"I'm sure that when we finish the blood sacrifice, two adult Ananda snakes will slowly be born in the blood river to continue to guard this place."
"No matter who comes to hunt for treasure in the future, how many people come in will die!"
After listening to Guo Jiu's words, the three of them understood what Guo Jiu meant, and the Chen brothers and Ge Yuan began to ponder.
The murals have all three of them, and there is really no meaning of the monks returning on it, if the monks can return, the two Bharata snakes will not turn into skeletons.
From the murals, it is easy to tell that these two Bharata snakes were kept by those monks.
When the monk did not return, the two Bharata snakes remained here until they died and were reduced to skeletons.
