Volume 1: Ancestral Mountain Burning Immortals - The Altar of Prudence Chapter 76: The Secret of the Ancient Scroll
"Wait!"
Yue Guanchao suddenly woke up, he rubbed his eyes and looked around, this cell returned to normal.
It turned out that because he was asleep just now, Yue Guanchao looked at himself lying on the execution table and guessed in his heart.
As he wanted to get up, his fingertips seemed to touch something, and when he raised his eyes, the antique picture scroll appeared on the table more than once.
No, when he was observing this cell just now, he specially shone a flashlight on the execution table, and there was nothing on it except the pile of hemp rope used for hanging.
Right now, a scroll appeared, and he had to guess what the dream just now meant.
Yue Guanchao stood up, rubbed his drowsy brain, and he picked up the scroll on the ground and took it in his hand to browse carefully.
This scroll is about half an arm long, about the thickness of a child's wrist, and the shaft body is heavy when picked up, mostly cast in iron, and the upper and lower shaft heads are carved with stone to carve lifelike bull heads.
He pulled the string, and the scroll was unrestrained by the rope, and the silk cloth three feet long and one and a half feet wide unfolded with a clatter, and in the blink of an eye, it fell to the ground at an angle.
Without the entanglement of the scroll, the words on this iron-cast scroll are clearly visible: "The Secret of Zu Xian"
Yue Guanchao saw these four words, and a spirit woke up from the stupor, could it be that this thing is the way Wu Yueniang wants to find to lift the curse!
"Why did this thing suddenly appear on the execution table, and let me find it."
He took the silk cloth and looked carefully, the picture scroll was mounted with silkworm cocoon paper, the color was bold, the pattern was exquisite, although it was not more delicate than the ancient master fine drawing, the model and the shape were not lost.
It can be seen that it depicts the ancient sacrificial scene of the witch coffin town.
In the picture, two steep peaks stand at each end, and between the two peaks there is a majestic and majestic ancient altar!
On top of that altar, a large bronze tree grows an altar, on which is hung with all kinds of sacrificial gold vessels, and under the tree stands the great Xianbei witch wearing a sacrificial mask......
Wait, two steep mountains!
Yue Guanchao carefully observed the high mountains in the picture scroll, his expression became excited, these two mountains were clearly the twin peaks that looked like crab claws when they came to Wucoffin Town.
It's just that the twin peaks in the scroll seem to be too far away, not as close as they see.
If it's not the wrong picture, there's only one possibility:
When the artist first painted, the two peaks were not leaning against each other, and they were two separate mountains.
Could it be that some disaster happened to these two mountains afterwards that they leaned against each other and became one mountain?
He thought of the sacrificial gold artifacts on the bronze giant tree again, and his heart moved-I wonder if the treasure of the previous dynasty that Tang Dianrong was looking for was in that oblique mountain!
"If this picture is a treasure map, then Hotaru's father, why do they say that there is a way to lift the curse in the picture, should they ......?"
Yue Guanchao originally wanted to find "The Secret of Zu Xian", so he handed over the ancient scroll to Ah Ying's parents.
Now it seems that Hotaru's parents are lying, and there is no so-called way to lift the curse in the ancient scrolls.
Thinking of this, he became suspicious of Hotaru's parents' statement, they were really not looking for a way to lift the curse for Hotaru, but only for the treasure of the previous dynasty.
"Guanchao, have you found anything here?"
Yue Guanchao sensed that his companion was coming here, and he quietly hid the ancient scroll in his backpack.
While speaking, Lu Fengjian and Song Siyuan had already walked in with flashlights, and at the same time, he also noticed the abnormality of the crowd.
Just now, Hotaru's parents came in and saw the execution stake, and their eyes clearly flashed panic, and they didn't seem to be as frank as others, which meant that they had ghosts in their hearts.
"There is not even a shadow of a ghost, I was in the torture room just now, and I found that there are a lot of torture instruments in this room, and I thought that there were things in the room inside, and when I came in, I didn't see anything else except a hanged man's shelf."
"Is the "Secret of Zuxian" you are talking about?"
Yue Guanchao scratched the back of his head and deliberately diverted the topic.
"Maybe, "The Secret of Zuhyeon" is not here, we can go to other places to look for it, and we can always find it."
Wu Yueniang's eyes dodged, and Zhong Liangsheng's behavior was sneaky, which showed that his guess was true.
Yue Guanchao quietly led everyone out of the sin ring platform.
Not long after they stepped out of the sin ringing platform, black shadows appeared in the gray mist, and a flock of white-haired ravens flew overhead again.
Wu Yueniang and the others heard the ringing of the waist bell, and their eyes turned from trance to fear.
"Auntie, Daddy, do you know what these ravens and waist bells mean? Why, every time we see them, something bad happens. ”
Hotaru has been through so many strange things, and she knows that these ravens are not good, but she needs to get the exact answer from her parents.
Zhong Liangsheng looked at the top of his head and said, "Evil gods, they are... Messenger of the evil god, when you see them, it means that the evil god is coming, let's go back quickly, I will take you to hide, they will eat people. ”
Before Hotaru's parents finished speaking, they fled forward like crazy, and Hotaru was afraid that her parents would get lost again, so she followed the two of them closely.
Yue Guanchao and the others were very curious about what Ah Ying's parents said about the place of refuge, and followed Wu Yueniang and Zhong Liangsheng through the unfamiliar streets and alleys, and ran towards the tallest building.
Looking down at the map of the witch coffin, the tallest building is called the Witch Sacrifice Shrine!
