547. Something in the dark
They were probably at the end of the cave, and there was no road behind them, only a road ahead that didn't know where it led.
As far as the eye could see, the stone walls on both sides and above their heads were rugged, and the dense and sharp stone cones hung down, reflecting a faint cold light for them to see clearly.
Shen Li felt that the location they were in should be extremely deep underground.
At least where human beings can't get there.
"It seems that this is the secret of the ancestral shrine."
Shen Li said, exchanged glances with Fu Yinghan, and the two turned around and walked forward.
Fu Yinghan took out the fire fold and blew it to illuminate it, lowered his head and carefully avoided the stone cone above, and said, "Da Wu Zhu definitely knows this." There should be something very special in this, so that they don't want outsiders to know at all, so all along, the great witches of Yuwangzhai have strictly guarded the ancestral shrine. ”
This made Shen Li even more curious.
Unexpectedly, they didn't have long to go, and they came to the end.
In front of it was a man-made hole, and it was pitch black inside, and I don't know what it was.
Fu Yinghan took the lead in stepping forward, blocking Shen Li behind him, and he said uneasily: "I'll explore the way, and the little girl will follow me." ”
"But ......"
"If there is really any accident, you also have time to react in the back, and you can make a timely move."
Fu Yinghan said again, this sentence persuaded Shen Li, and Shen Li had no choice but to nod.
Fu Yinghan turned his head and walked in slowly step by step.
The light of the fire fold can illuminate a limited range, and it can only see the situation within about two or three meters of the surrounding area.
After they entered, they walked nearly ten meters, and their sight was still empty, and when they walked around, they saw the edge of the stone wall, which proved that this was a stone cave, but it was very huge.
Determining this, the two of them slowly explored little by little.
Finally, after walking for a few minutes, something new suddenly appeared on the ground in front of me.
But when they saw it clearly, Shen Li and Fu Yinghan stopped suddenly.
It turned out to be a black wooden coffin, and there was a stone tablet in front of the coffin!
"That's ......"
The two looked at each other in astonishment, approached vigilantly, observed the coffin first, and saw that the coffin did not move, so they put a snack in front of the stone tablet and approached to see it.
In the middle of it are three big characters, like names, and there are several rows of small characters in the lower right corner, but these words look like the unique characters of the local people of Jiuli and Eighteen Villages.
"What is written on this is that this person was selected two hundred years ago to guard the forbidden land and maintain the safety of Jiuli and Eighteen Villages. During his lifetime, he also did a lot of things that were beneficial to Jiuli and Eighteen Villages, and taught many powerful apprentices to protect Jiuli and Eighteen Villages. Unfortunately, he lived a very short life, and died when he was in his thirties due to unbearable evil spirits. Fu Yinghan said after identifying the inscription.
Shen Li looked at him in surprise: "Do you know these words?" ”
Fu Yinghan bowed.
Shen Li looked at him, then looked at the inscription, and said sincerely: "Then your knowledge is so wide, you even know the local language and writing of Jiuli and Eighteen Villages." ”
"This is not the text of Jiuli and Eighteen Villages." Fu Yinghan said without thinking.
Shen Li asked, "What kind of text is that?" ”
"It's ......"
Fu Yinghan was about to speak, thinking of something, then stopped, and looked at Shen Li in a slight stunned.
Shen Li said: "If it's inconvenient to say, forget it, let's continue to look elsewhere." ”
Fu Yinghan grabbed her and explained: "It's not inconvenient to say, I'm just very strange for a while, and I can't figure it out." ”
"Why is that?"
Shen was puzzled.
Fu Yinghan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said slowly: "You know that there is something in my body, which is something that the heads of the past dynasties of Tiansuan are guarding. ”
Shen Li nodded.
Fu Yinghan said: "I inherited it in a hurry, and my master also passed away, so I can't teach me too much how to control and suppress it." But he left me a book, and everything I had to do was in it. The words written in that book are similar to those on this inscription. ”
"Almost? How so? Shen Li was puzzled, "Tiansuan and Jiuli, Eighteen Villages, and Eight Poles can't be played, how can the words be the same?" Where did your master's book come from? Did he write it himself? Could it be that he is from Jiuli and Eighteen Villages? Or have you lived and studied in Jiuli and Eighteen Villages for a period of time? ”
Fu Yinghan didn't hide it from her, "That book is quite old, it seems to have existed for at least a few decades, it can't be written by my master." Perhaps, there are some of the first lines in front of Tiansuan that are closely related to Jiuli and Eighteen Villages. After all, the thing we want to guard is special, and the predecessors thought of using these words that most outsiders can't understand to record their experiences. ”
Shen Li felt that it made sense, so he didn't ask any more, and said, "Let's go to the front and have a look." ”
Fu Yinghan nodded, clenched her hand, and left here.
What they never expected was that they saw nearly ten more coffins, all of which were stone tablets, and the words on them were the same as those they had seen before.
However, Fu Yinghan didn't know much, because some of the inscriptions were not in the books handed down by his predecessors, so he guessed and got a general understanding.
In the end, the two found that the coffins were filled with the same predecessors who had previously guarded the thing in the forbidden land.
They haven't found anyone else.
"This cave is the equivalent of a cemetery."
Shen Li stopped, closed his eyes and tried to feel it, then opened his eyes in amazement and looked at Fu Yinghan, and said, "I just discovered that the stone walls around here seem to be very special, and there is evil qi attached to them, but it has not penetrated out. ”
"I see, the seniors who guarded that thing in the forbidden place basically died of evil qi in the end. Their status is precious, and after death, the people of Jiuli and Eighteen Villages will not touch their bodies, and they are afraid that if they stay outside, the evil spirit will affect innocent people. So they were buried here. ”
"This is the reason why Da Wuzhu forbids outsiders to enter the ancestral shrine, for fear that someone will accidentally break into here and disturb these seniors?" Fu Yinghan said.
Shen Li said: "It seems that it is." The people here are all forbidden land seniors, no wonder Ayan's consciousness stays here. And I don't know how big it is here, so it's not a way to just look for it. So, since this place can be insulated to some extent, I'll try to use that thing in my body again......"
"-Bang!"
Shen Li came to an abrupt end.
There was silence in the darkness around him, the sound of breathing and heartbeat was clearly audible, and the silence was nerve-wracking.
Because of this, Fang Cai's abrupt sound was particularly obvious.
Shen Li turned his head to look at Fu Yinghan inch by inch, and said uncertainly, "Did you hear that?" ”
“…… Heard it. ”
Fu Yinghan was about to pull Shen Li to his side, looked around, and said in a condensed voice: "Great Witch wishes them to prohibit others from entering and leaving the ancestral shrine, there may be a reason, that is, there are some dangerous things here......
"Bang dang! Bang Dang!! Bang dang ......"
Fu Yinghan's voice fell, and the previous sound suddenly reappeared, becoming more and more urgent, as if some existence hidden in the darkness was about to break out!
