Chapter 86: Creepy Ruins

Spooky words!

Carved into the walls!

Crooked, revealing an evil aura, the breath of the years has not allowed it to precipitate, but has become more and more weird!

Just looking at it, it seems to automatically ring in my ears, making people short of breath and numb in the scalp!!

'Tick'

'Tick'

The underground river flows quietly, and the moist water vapor condenses into water droplets on the rocks above the underground river and slowly drips down.

At this moment, the old man Li Yunshan only felt a chill in his spine, and the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped several degrees, and the already dark and damp underground river channel became more and more cold.

"It's . What? ”

"Why. Will there be so many weird words? ”

After a long time, the old man Li Yunshan spoke hard, and he was obviously shocked by the words on the wall.

"Unclear"

"I've never unearthed such a weird place"

"And"

An old archaeologist replied, his voice trembling slightly, and he pointed his flashlight at the walls in all directions, the incandescent light shining on the surroundings as if it were day.

Sure enough.

On the surrounding roads, more traces and words emerged.

"And."

walked forward cautiously, but the more he walked, the more frightened he became.

Because they found that in this underground channel, the surrounding rocks were all kinds of broken marks.

Countless scratches and inscriptions littered the surroundings, and all sorts of huge rocks broke and shattered.

Especially those confusing words, this whole road is all over!

The inscriptions were all chaotic and messy, and the engraver was clearly in an extremely disordered state of mind as he did all this.

"Can't tell, really can't tell? What does that mean? ”

Looking at the chaotic and distorted words, everyone only felt uncomfortable, as if they had come to some unclean place, and the back of their necks couldn't stop tightening.

"Who engraved so many words here?"

"Shouldn't this be a relic left behind when the original emperor ascended the throne? According to the history of Lao Lu Na Ye, it was he who ordered the construction to be built when he ascended the throne. ”

"But now."

"How can this be here?"

Everyone walked cautiously here, and there was silence in the dark river.

The icy water flowed, and the white flashlight illuminated the entire underground river channel.

But even so, walking in this underground river, everyone still held a string in their hearts, filled with fear, and stared around with wide eyes, as if in those darkness, some beasts and fears were lurking, and they would pounce at any moment and devour them completely.

"Do you want to continue?"

"Let's go back a little further."

Up to now, in fact, even an old archaeologist like Li Yunshan, who has been through countless battles, is a little afraid.

It's so weird in this underground river, what are these words?

Who will carve all this here?

And how did those beast-like claw marks get there?

Looking at the words on the walls around him, an incredible thought poured into the mind of the old man Li Yunshan.

"Wait."

He hurried to the edge of the wall and cautiously reached out his hand to measure a few claw marks.

After a while, the old man Li Yunshan's pupils suddenly contracted, and he only felt a chill behind him!

Because he found the gap between the claw marks on these walls. It's about the width of his palm!

Find the five claw marks, put your hand on them, and gently swipe them to almost perfectly fit the lines of these claw marks!

“!!!!!”

At this moment, not only the old man Li Yunshan, but even the many remaining old archaeologists were also shocked!

I just felt a tingling scalp and goosebumps all over my body!

What the hell is this?

Why is it such a good fit?

Aren't these the claw marks left by beasts?

Why. Can it fit so perfectly?!

Looking at the surrounding caves, at this moment, everyone shuddered excitedly!

Messy text, carved into broken walls, written with twisted and filthy words.

It's like being evil, just looking at it makes people feel uneasy!

Those silent words seemed to penetrate into his ears across thousands of years!

And on top of that, the place is littered with crashing and random claw marks.

One after the other, all over the underground waterways!

The dazzling flashlight shone out, and at this moment, everyone's eyes seemed to have crossed the ages and came to a thousand years ago.

They seemed to see figures covering their heads, their clothes in tatters, their eyes red and struggling and roaring in the deep underground river!

The facial features are hideous and the appearance is distorted.

The flesh and blood on their hands were blurred, and they cut out large lines on the huge walls, as if they didn't have any reason, and they were frantically destroying everything around them!

A flashlight flickered.

The ancient illusions are gone.

But it made all the old archaeologists' pupils shrink for a while!!

Just now

What's going on?

Difficult, is this really a legacy of the previous people?

But how is this possible!!

If it is said that wild beasts can leave marks on the walls, and they can be explained by having claws, which can barely be explained, then why do humans leave so many marks on the walls!!

Do they have special weapons or something? Was there a fight here?

But that's not right!

Obviously, not long ago, I also found a jade stele about the first emperor, where did the battle come from!

The icy cold wind is blowing in my ears.

In the gloomy underground canal, almost all the old archaeologists shivered with excitement, and they were cold from head to foot!

After devoting themselves to archaeology for so many years, the ruins they investigated added up to 800, if not 1,000, but they have never been like this underground waterway in Qilian Mountain, revealing an unimaginable weirdness everywhere!

Even when I first excavated those ancient cemeteries, it wasn't so evil!

"What should I do?"

"Do you want to continue the investigation?"

An old archaeologist asked again, with a deep fear in his words.

It was all so weird, he had never experienced anything like this.

Even the old man Li Yunshan has begun to retreat a little!

After wandering around in the Qilian Mountains for so many days, I finally found such a place? Isn't it so wrong!

Looking at the distorted words on the surrounding walls, the old man Li Yunshan gritted his teeth, and after a long time, he opened his mouth as if he had opened up.

"Let's go further and see!"

"After all these years, it is impossible for anything to survive."

"I have a hunch that the truth lies ahead."

"It's all here, if you go back now, you'll be in vain!"

Hearing the words of the old man Li Yunshan, many old archaeologists all looked a little ugly and slightly pale.

But in the end, they gritted their teeth and followed Li Yunshan towards the deeper darkness

In the dark and cold underground river, the old man Li Yunshan and his party of six people were shocked by the words left thousands of years ago, and their scalps were numb and trembling.

But in the end, they chose to move forward, stepping heavily on the icy river, and crawling along the monstrous twisted ruins of boulders.

The footsteps are getting farther and farther.

Time passes, the humidity has not yet arrived, and the tide pouring into the cave has not yet arrived.

The cave was still dry, and an unlucky young disciple of the Legalist was roaring hoarsely in the cave

And outside this cave, many old men in Qilian Mountain are becoming more and more sad.

"Are you all done?"

In the narrow conference room, there were a dozen old men and a few young people sitting in the middle of nowhere.

Many legal scholars led by Li Weizhi are all gone at this time.

It's even worse than before.

Although they were ugly and sad before, they still had the spirit and spirit, and they could still shout loudly.

But now they, one by one, were all pale, withered, and weak.

It's like an old man in his last years, who seems to burp when blown by the wind.

Especially the mental state, extremely sluggish, sitting in a sluggish position, staring at the table without speaking.

"Time. It's almost there. ”

Silent.

There was a long silence.

Still no one answered.

The person who spoke was Li Si, not Li Weizhi, the former representative of the Great Qin Legalist family, who was completely desperate, and had already gone mad twice in the process of building and compiling the Human Emperor Sutra in the past few days.

One of the most important was covered with black blades of grass.

Li Si is a little lower in cultivation, a lower realm, and younger, and in the face of all this, it is still better.

It's not much better, though.

At this time, Li Si was also unshaven, his eyes were bloodshot, staring at two dark circles that seemed to have been hammered, and his eyes were so open that he could only leave a slit here.

The former style of a legal scholar has long been lost to the corner.

In fact, not only Li Si and everyone in the council, but almost the entire Legalist people on Qilian Mountain are all like this!

In these last ten days, in order to correct the Emperor Sutra and change this trait of going mad, almost all the people of the Legalists have tried their best!

Whether it is the level of cultivation, the realm or not, and even ordinary Legalist disciples, they all take the initiative to dedicate themselves to serve as test specimens to cultivate the improved Human Emperor Sutra!

Almost all the people of the Legalist family, all of them have made great efforts to make great efforts!

They worked day and night to revise and frantically study the many cultivation formulas of the Hundred Schools of Thought, integrating them into them and revising them smoothly

In this process, basically all the Legalist Qi Refiners, regardless of the level of the realm, have fallen into the fire at least once!

Fortunately, at the moment of discovery, it was not completely crazy, except for a few people who did not have symptoms for the time being, the rest of their lives were worry-free

But even so!

It's still useless!

After revising the Human Emperor Sutra countless times, it is still wrong!

It's the same illness, it's still crazy!

But if you just look at it a few times, you won't be as broken down and lose your mind on the spot as before.

That's a success, isn't it?

Li Si rubbed his eyes silently, he dragged the dark circles under his eyes that he hadn't slept for more than ten days, and forced himself to speak.

"Can you change it again?"

Hearing this, the old legalists, who had been sitting in place and had not acted at all since they came to the meeting, suddenly seemed to have been touched by something, and finally took action for the first time since they joined the council.

"No, no"

An old man of the Legalist family gasped, his voice was small, and he almost half-collapsed in a breathless voice.

"That's it."

"If it's going to be revised"

"Everybody's gone"

The other Legalist elders also raised their heads, staggering, their eyes glazed over, and their faces bloodless.

Seeing this scene, Li Si had no choice but to put away the bamboo slips on the table.

"Then so be it, the day after tomorrow is the time to report all this to the king."

"Seniors have worked hard, for the time being. Let's take a break."

Almost as soon as Li Si's words fell, many old men of the Legalists fell asleep at the end of the day.

It was only a second or two before they let out a purring and snoring sound, and while crying, they had their first break in more than two months.

And in order to welcome tomorrow's Yingzheng, Li Si also shrank in the corner and slowly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Li Si was woken up,

"You've worked hard, the time has come, tomorrow is the deadline, I don't know how the compilation of the Emperor's Book is?"

Zhao Tuo's calm voice sounded at the door.

When the old men of many jurists heard this, they all swallowed with a bang.

In the end, you look at me, I look at you, or Li Weizhi stubbornly spoke.

"I've already compiled most of it, but, but it's still a little bit, that's it, this lord, how about a little more grace?"

"The king's command is tomorrow, and I have forgiven many days." Zhao Tuo replied calmly, with an irresistible coldness in his words: "If the time is up and the compilation has not been completed, you will bear the consequences." ”

Hearing this, Li Weizhi and a group of other old men had bitter faces.

After Zhao Tuo left, they suddenly jumped up in a hurry and carefully revised the Human Emperor Sutra several times.

But the Emperor Sutra has not improved for more than two months, so what's the use of relying on this day?

In the end, after the time was up, they finally stubbornly elected a few representatives, washed carefully, changed into a set of clean and neat clothes, and followed Zhao Tuo to Xianyang City together.

The tall and solemn Xianyang City is as majestic as it left a few months ago.

Walking on the street, there are traces of life everywhere, feeling the fireworks of the world around them, they have been in the dense jungle for two months, and the old people of the Legalist family who are almost mentally disturbed are all almost in tears, and they are excited.

However, this excitement came to an abrupt end after arriving at the Qunshu Hall in the Xianyang Imperial City.

After the tall table, Ying Zheng was as calm as a few months ago, he sat quietly in the ancient study, a black and gold robe, solemn and majestic, and a pile of government affairs in front of him.

Zhao Tuo stood in the distance, Li Weizhi, Li Si, and three other members of the Fa family, respectfully stepped forward and bowed.

"See the king!"

"Long live the king!"

"Get up." A calm voice sounded.

"Thank you, the king."

Li Weizhi and the others stood up respectfully.

It was only then that they had the heart to look at Yingzheng with a little aftermath.

Compared with a few months ago, Ying Zheng's momentum seems to be deeper.

He sat upright behind the wide press table, his eyes as black as ink, as if infinite wisdom was flowing, and the divine light opened and closed, looking horizontally and horizontally.

Seeing this scene, Li Weizhi and the others were surprised.

It's only been two months, and the momentum on the king's body seems to be more dignified, and the style that belongs to the king is also more and more majestic, faintly, and it is already a bit comparable to the posture of the previous king

Especially Li Si, this is the first time he has been so close to Yingzheng, and the surprise in his heart is even worse.

With such a strong royal majesty, it is no wonder that even if he was as shrewd as a minister before, he said that there was no need to worry, and the hidden was really deep.

Is this the true face of a former prince?

Li Si thought silently, and his heart was quite shocked.

But the shock didn't last long before it was interrupted.

"How are you Aiqing preparing for the compilation of the Human Emperor Sutra?"

Hearing this, the hearts of Li Weizhi and Li Si suddenly beat!

"Return to the king! Thanks to the blessing of the king, Weichen and others are fortunate not to be dishonored, and the book of the emperor has now been compiled. Li Weizhi stepped forward and spoke.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slightly and praised it rarely.

"Not bad."

"It can be compiled within two months, Gu Guo really has never misread Zhu Qing, I heard that Ai Qing has inspected the law of the hundred schools of thought when compiling the Book of the Emperor?"

"Yes, the king is wise."

Li Weizhi replied respectfully, his heartbeat increased more and more, he swallowed his saliva for the undetectable, and his white hair seemed to be trembling, and he spoke euphemistically.

"But the king, this person's imperial scriptures contain a lot, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate, although it is said that with the king's talent and talent, he can definitely cultivate, but in the process of cultivation, he still needs to be cautious."

"Oh?" Nodding slowly, Ying Zheng spoke calmly, "Take it and let me see." ”

"Yes."

Li Weizhi beckoned, and Li Si stepped forward, respectfully raising his hands above his head, presenting a scroll that had been revised countless times.

An attendant eunuch stepped forward and respectfully took it and put it in front of Yingzheng.

Looking at this bamboo slip that looked extremely thick and carved with the three big characters of 'Human Emperor Sutra', Ying Zheng nodded.

Then he stretched out his hand, in the anxious gaze of Li Si and Li Weizhi.

Slowly flipped through it.
