"That's it, it's crumbling down there."

Sun Hongying waved her hand and said, "The people inside are estimated to be either dead or injured, so notify the people of the yamen first." ”

……

At the same time, in the cave, Xu Lan and Chen Ci took advantage of their strength to step on a falling boulder to stabilize their figures.

It was about a while, maybe ten seconds, maybe a minute.

The boulder fell to the ground and turned into fragments, and the two people standing on it used their strength to dissipate their strength, but it was not a big problem, at most they were a little unhappy.

"Is there such a miracle under the ground?"

After a while, Chen Ci gradually adapted to the surrounding environment.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have imagined that there was a cave under the land of the dragon vein in Qingzhou.

"More than a thousand meters underground..."

Xu Lan could roughly know where he was by discerning the color of the rock formation, and when he looked around, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

A cave,

Although the surrounding area is in ruins, some traces of the people who once lived here can still be clearly recognized.

"It could be a strong man's cave."

The well-informed Chen Ci narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "We have to be careful, I am afraid that a strong person with such great power will leave many prohibitions in his cave mansion." ”

A strong person who can dig a cave several kilometers deep underground, I am afraid that only the cultivators of the Five Realms who have crossed the tribulation of heaven and man have this ability, maybe it is higher than he imagined.

"It's okay, there's no prohibition here."

Xu Lan glanced around and came to a conclusion,

From the things placed around here, it can be seen that the owner of this cave seems to feel that this place is extremely hidden, and there is no trace of the formation at all.

"How do you know the way of formation?"

Chen Ci on the side asked the doubts in his heart,

The same is true for Fang Cai, Xu Lan was able to accurately say the weakness of the formation.

"I'm a reader, so if I read more, I will naturally understand."

Xu Lan said calmly,

Readers can understand when they look at it, there's nothing wrong with that, right?

Speech: ......

For a moment she didn't know whether to believe or not to believe.

Since she came into contact with Xu Lan, she found out that he was so mysterious.

It is rumored that the Xu family does not like to practice martial arts since he was a child, but he can break through the realm in just one day and be promoted to the second realm in two days.

In addition to this, he also has a set of extremely mysterious swordsmanship,

The third sword that had broken Qin Changhe's body protection qi just now couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

Now I still have some attainments in the formation of the method,

You must know that even in Kyoto, you can't find a few cultivators who have mastered the way of formation.

Is this really something that can be seen by reading a book?

"To be honest, sometimes I suspect that you have been taken away by the Demon Cult."

Chen Ci sighed slightly: "But it's not like..."

Xu Lan: ......

For a moment, he didn't know whether to say that the cliché's intuition was sharp or that a woman's sixth sense was innately so sharp,

In a sense, her conjecture was correct.

"How is that possible?"

Xu Lan smiled dumbly and said, "Have you ever seen that you can still take out an innate sword body?" ”

"That's right..."

Chen Ci also nodded, not thinking too much about this issue.

"Now all we have to do is how to get out here."

Then Chen Ci looked up at the top with a thoughtful look,

Let's not talk about how deep it is from the ground,

The walls around them alone were so smooth that they couldn't climb out.

"Go in and find out."

Xu Lan fell his gaze on the entrance of the cave in front of him,

His intuition told him that a strong man who could open up a cave under the ground couldn't just jump out of the air, right?

That's a bit of a price drop.

"Well, be careful."

Chen Ci is quite cautious, for fear that if he is not careful, he will touch the prohibition here.

"Don't worry."

Xu Lan strode forward,

The entrance to the cave has a heavy stone door, but it is not closed and is hidden.

"I'll go in first."

Seeing this, Chen Ci opened his mouth and said, his strength is a little stronger than Xu Lan, so he should go ahead by himself.

"Okay."

Xu Lan didn't stop him, and the next moment he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Although the stone gate is hidden, there is only a gap left in the middle.

At this time, Chen Ci turned sideways and wanted to enter, but found that he was stuck, and he was in a bit of a dilemma.

"I don't usually see it..."

Xu Lan's gaze fell on Chen Ci's chest and couldn't help but be secretly funny, who would have thought about it?

"Still laughing?"

Chen Ci's face was flushed, she gritted her teeth and said softly, "Come and help me." ”

"Okay, here we are."

Xu Lan coughed lightly, his hands fell on Chen Ci's shoulders with slight force, but... Still stuck.

"Use a little more force."

The voice of the cliché is as thin as a mosquito, and this scene is too... Embarrassed.

"Oh oh, then I can use my strength."

Xu Lan had a strange look on his face, and then he used a sharp force to push Chen Ci's body in.

"Safe inside."

A moment later, Chen Ci's voice came from inside, and Xu Lan followed sideways and passed easily.

What catches your eye is a secret room of more than ten square meters, and some empty spaces have been carved out on both sides of the stone wall to serve as bookshelves.

Probably because it has been so long, some of the books on it have long been dilapidated.

In the middle of the chamber is a skeleton meditating on a futon, and nothing else.

"He's the one who opened up the cave here?"

Because the little episode just now made Chen Ci feel a little ashamed in her heart, she didn't even dare to turn around and look directly at Xu Lan's line of sight at this moment.

"Maybe..."

Xu Lan stepped aside to pick up the moldy and yellowed books in an attempt to get some useful information from them.

As a result, I didn't expect those books to turn into powder when I first touched them...

"It's been at least five hundred years..."

Xu Lan suddenly knew in his heart that it was difficult for ordinary paper to be preserved for more than a hundred years, and it was so rotten that it might have existed for five hundred years or even longer.

"Five hundred years ago..."

Hearing this, Chen Ci was slightly distracted in his heart, which means that the owner of this cave mansion was also a strong party five hundred years ago.

The next moment, Xu Lan walked in front of the skeleton and silently folded his hands in salute, without the slightest disrespect between his eyebrows.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What are you going to do?" ”

"The dead are great, and there should always be some respect."

Xu Lan said softly: "I want to see if I can find some clues from his corpse." ”

This is a habit left over from his previous life as an archaeologist,

Although there are some feudal superstitions, after all, they can make themselves a little more at ease.

After that,

Xu Lan carefully brushed aside the remaining pieces of clothing on the skeleton and carefully observed every detail of the skeleton.

After about half a burnt incense,

Xu Lancai stood up and said: "If nothing else, he should have reached the limit of his physical function and then died naturally, hey, it should be said that he was sitting." ”

"You can see that, too?"

Chen Ci was slightly stunned, and his face was full of incredulity

This is nothing more than a skeleton that has been dead for hundreds of years, how could he come to such a conclusion?

"The strong man who can dig out such an underground cave will naturally not die because of ordinary injuries, and secondly, there are no deep visible bone scars on the bones, which can rule out the possibility of death from injuries."

"The second is that although his bones are close to decay, they are completely intact and there are no black marks left at all, which can rule out the possibility of internal injuries or poisoning."

"A strong man with such great power died in his own cave, and after ruling out the possibility of injury and poisoning, there is only one conclusion that he died of natural causes."

These are Xu Lan's housekeeping skills, and archaeologists are not only examining cultural relics, but also hundreds or even thousands of years of rotting corpses.

"That's what you learned from reading books?"

Chen Ci's face was full of question marks, what books can still teach this?

"Nature."

Xu Lan said confidently: "If you read ten thousand books, you will naturally understand." ”

Speech: ......

It is reasonable and convincing.

"But those discoveries weren't enough to get us out of here."

Chen Ci naturally didn't have the heart to debate with a scholar, and at the moment, how to leave this place was an urgent need for the two of them.

"Let's take a look around."

Xu Lan looked around and said, "I'll bury this senior first..."

This damn occupational disease has been committed again.

Speech: .......

"Okay, then I'll look around first to see if there are any other clues."

Then Xu Lan found an uneven place not far away, and after thinking about it carefully, he was ready to transfer the skeleton here and place it, and then find a few pieces of rubble to bury it.

However, just as Xu Lan carefully picked up the entire skeleton, he accidentally moved the futon, and a golden light flashed under the futon.

"Huh?"

Xu Lan was slightly shocked in his heart, could it be... Is there an East XZ under this futon?

Immediately beckoned Chen Ci over, and the two of them would work together to bury the skeleton and return to the futon, only then did they notice some twisted handwriting faintly visible on the dusty ground in front of the futon.

If you hadn't moved the skeleton, you wouldn't have noticed it.

"What's written on it?"

Chen Ci carefully blew off the dust on it, revealing a few lines of handwriting.

"My generation has been cultivating for more than 100 years in order to seek immortality, and after all, I can't peep into the gate of heaven.

"There is only one thing that is difficult to let go, so I left a scroll of heavenly workmanship, and I hope that those who can see this handwriting can continue it."

"Tiangong Qishu, have you heard of it?"

Xu Lan was silent for a few seconds and asked,

"Nope."

Chen Ci shook his head, there was no record of the Heavenly Crafts in the Hanging Mirror Division.

Perhaps, but I really haven't seen it myself.

"Is it possible to leave here after mastering the Heavenly Crafts Book?"

A bold idea suddenly popped up in Xu Lan's heart,

"It's possible."

After speaking, the eyes of the two fell on the futon, Xu Lan gently picked up the futon and found that there was indeed a golden book that emitted a faint light hidden under it.

"It's not a book."

Xu Lan frowned, although it looked like a book, but if you look closely, you will find that it is just something that looks like a book on the outside.

"Natal Spirit."

Chen Ci squinted his eyes and said: "After the Five Realms have passed the Tribulation of Heaven and Man, the True Qi in the body will evolve into True Yuan, and at that time, cultivators can find some rare materials and then use their True Yuan to nourish them and evolve them into a natal spiritual object." ”

"If you didn't guess wrong, that strong man should have left his own inheritance in the natal spiritual object, and its name is Tiangong Qishu."

"I see."

Xu Lan nodded, then looked at Chen Ci and said, "You try?" ”

"No, I can feel this natal creature resisting me."

Chen Ci shook his head,

From the moment she saw this book of heavenly craftsmanship, she had a feeling that the other party was extremely resistant to herself.

It's very mysterious,

She didn't know where that feeling came from, but she did.

"Is there one?"

Xu Lan was puzzled, why didn't he feel the slightest feeling?

"Then you can just try."

Chen Ci then spoke: "If you can get the inheritance of this senior, maybe you can leave here with the Heavenly Crafts Strange Book." ”

"Okay, I'll try."

After speaking, Xu Lan stretched out his palm to the Tiangong Qishu.

Without any accidents, I easily came into contact with this wonderful book.

Only in the blink of an eye,

The Tiangong Book in front of him turned into a golden light and disappeared into Xu Lan's palm.

Suddenly, a huge stream of information emerged from his mind, and countless unfamiliar knowledge continued to emerge in his mind and then deeply imprinted.

After a full half of the incense passed, Xu Lan slowly opened his eyes.

"How's it going?"

The Chen Ci on the side showed concern,

"It's fine."

Xu Lan said with a smile: "This senior is a formation master, and the things recorded in the Book of Heavenly Craftsmanship are basically related to the formation, and it can be seen that his attainments in the formation should be very high." ”

"Formation Master..."

Chen Ci thought for a while and said, "It seems that there has never been a powerful formation master in the history of the Great Chu Dynasty. ”

"Let's see if we can get the answer in some old books that record history."

Xu Lan said softly,

He knew it was time to get out of here.

Now it seems that I have gained a lot from this trip,

The Demon Sect wanted to cut off the dragon vein of Qingzhou and steal the fortune of the dynasty, but in the end he let himself pick up a bargain, in addition to this, he also obtained the inheritance of a formation master because of a blessing in disguise.

"You've found a way out?"

Hearing the words, his eyes lit up,

"There is a teleportation circle in this cave, and you only need to infuse true qi to activate it to reach another pre-prepared magic circle through the formation."

Although he has not yet fully mastered the Book of Heavenly Works, he has at least mastered the method of how to leave.

"It's okay, so that you can avoid the demon sect traitors who are guarding outside."

Chen Ci was also slightly relieved,

It's hard to get out of here, but what's even harder is how hard it is to deal with the group of demon thieves outside.

You must know that there is a Demon Sect elder from the Four Realms in that group of people, and with her and Xu Lan, I am afraid that there is no chance of winning.

"But the problem is, I don't know where the other circle that connects to this circle is."

Xu Lan raised his head slightly and smiled: "So... Be mentally prepared. ”

Although he wouldn't be transported as far as 108,000 miles, he didn't know where he would reach through the teleportation circle.

Speech: ......

It may not sound very reliable, but... It's always good to be able to get out of here.
