Chapter 197: Underground Boulders
"Don't be too happy. ”
Luo Yunzidai's eyebrows furrowed, and there was a look of memory in her eyes:
"That's all information collected by family merchants, and it is said that there was once a stone in Wanfenling, on which was engraved a line of Confucian poetry......
"What poetry?"
Yang Ji said with concern.
"How do I know. If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have paid attention to this kind of thing. Where would you notice what poems are carved into the stones?"
"It's because I'm in too much of a hurry. You continue. ”
Yang Ji said apologetically.
"When the boulder appeared, many people thought it was strange. Plus the poems only have upper couplets, no lower ones. Therefore, some people say that if something goes wrong, there will be evil. There may be treasure in it. ”
Luo Yunzi continued.
Yang Ji didn't interject this time and listened carefully.
"At that time, many people heard the news and went to look for the boulder, and tried to find out the mystery of it. But all failed. After another period of time, I couldn't find any names, and there were fewer people who paid attention. After that, no one paid attention. ”
"This incident is recorded in detail in the business records of our wealthy Roche family. At that time, our family's butler was nearby. I asked him, and he said that there was indeed a record of this in the family, but it was not a word. It's just a passing touch. ”
"Steward Liu is in charge of the family's business affairs, and he is meticulous and loyal. He said that there is, that is, there is, and there can be no mistake. ”
Luo Yunzi paused and hesitated:
"Yang Ji, I can help you, you have only these. It's just that I hope you still don't get your hopes up too much. After all, when it comes to the Ancient Saints, the things you mentioned are not so easy to obtain. ”
Yang Ji lowered his head and was silent.
"Senior Sister Luo. Where the hell is that place you're talking about?"
After a while, Yang Ji raised his head and said suddenly.
Luo Yunzi whispered a few words in Yang Ji's ear and said the address where the boulder was located.
Time passed quickly, and soon, night fell. It was dark in the north and south.
"Buzz!"
A faint yellow halo rose from the ground, the earth parted like waves, and in the blink of an eye, a small boat rose out of the ground.
"Senior Sister Luo, it's here. ”
Yang Jidao.
"From here, go southeast, and you will meet the senior brothers of this sect. Ten Thousand Graves Ridge is dangerous, so I won't take you there. ”
The night was vast, and Yang Ji pointed in one direction.
"Hmm. Still, you want you to think it through. The things of Wendao legends are illusory. I told you about that. But I hope you don't take it too seriously. After all, it's been so long. Most likely, it was just an ordinary stone. ”
"In comparison, the price of entering Wanfenling is too great. The Skeleton Ghost King has been stolen by us, and he is angry. It's not worth the risk. ”
Luo Yunzi finally persuaded.
"I understand. I'll think about it. ”
Yang Ji said perfunctorily.
"That's fine. ”
Luo Yunzi was helpless, her body was vertical, and she jumped out of the boat. Looking back at Yang Ji, he gritted his teeth:
"Yang Ji, no matter what. I owe you a favor. In the future, I will definitely pay it back. ”
"Let's go! I'm not going to be able to pay you back. ”
Yang Ji waved his hand and smiled.
"Whoosh!"
Luo Yunzi didn't say more, her body was vertical, and she floated to the southeast. Yang Ji watched her disappear into the distance, then turned around and walked in the direction Luo Yunzi said......
......
"The place Luo Yunzi said should be here?"
After a cup of tea. Yang Ji frowned and appeared on the west side of the Ten Thousand Cemetery. The gray mist was billowing and the demons of the underworld wandered aimlessly in the mist.
But the boulder that Luo Yunzi said was empty, and there was no trace at all.
"It's strange, isn't what Luo Yunzi said here at all. Or is she misremembering?"
Yang Ji's eyes were full of doubts.
When he was in Jin'an City, he came into contact with many merchants, and the things recorded in the "Shang Zhi" were extremely cautious and true.
Because it involves making money later, leaving it to future generations, and examining it in the future.
Most of the books are related to business, and occasionally some things about geography and customs are concise but also extremely accurate.
This is still the case for small merchants, let alone a well-disciplined family like the Luo family. There can be no fallacy in the slightest.
"Could it be that something has changed over time?"
Yang Ji meditated and thought hard, and finally waved his sleeves:
"Forget it, let's take a look around. Perhaps, right around here!"
Yang Ji's dantian was shocked, and a stream of blood and qi penetrated into the ground under his feet. The surrounding soil parted like waves of water, and Yang Ji drove the boat to sink into the ground silently.
The surrounding fog was very thick, and even with Yang Ji's eyesight, it was only more than twenty zhang in range. Yang Ji drove the boat around the vicinity, and encountered several evil ghosts on the way, and Yang Ji carefully avoided them.
A moment later, after expanding the patrol area several times, Yang Ji returned to his original place.
"Strange, what the hell is going on? Is Luo Yunzi lying to me?"
Yang Ji's eyes were suspicious, and a pair of sword eyebrows furrowed deeply.
He has a life-saving grace for Luo Yunzi, and it is uncertain whether the boulder really has any secrets, and in such an inconsequential matter, Luo Yunzi has no reason to lie to himself at all.
The surroundings were quiet, and Yang Ji suddenly fell into deep thought.
Wanfen Ridge is boundless, and Yang Ji has searched almost once in the entire area. Even the Skeleton Ghost King's dungeon has been searched.
The boulder that Luo Yunzi said was the only thing Yang Ji heard about Confucianism.
And the most suspicious-sounding thing at the moment.
"I'm going to have to find it anyway. ”
Yang Ji thought secretly.
With a move in his heart, Yang Ji expanded the scope of his search again. Not only does it increase the surface area, but it also includes the underground in the search area.
"Wanfenling is a cemetery, and the soil is soft. That boulder was exposed to the wind and rain, and after a long time, it was possible to sink underground. ”
Yang Ji said secretly, while controlling the earth boat to search deep underground.
Deep underground. It's getting darker and darker. Ten miles, twenty miles, thirty miles......
Except for the dry bones and thick evil aura in the ground, there is nothing else to be found.
"Look again. ”
Yang Ji suppressed the restlessness in his heart, increased the search area, and continued to sink deeper into the earth.
Sixty miles. Seventy miles, eighty miles......
When it reached a depth of more than 100 miles, the air was already very thin. The underground air that the Earth Boat can collect is getting less and less, and even with Yang Ji's ability, he is beginning to have difficulty breathing.
In such underground depths, it is impossible to last. The boulder engraved with Confucian poems in Luo Yunzi's mouth was still missing, and Yang Ji was almost impatient.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Yang Ji's heart jumped, and a strange feeling spread from the depths of his eyebrows. This feeling is ...... "Book of Confucianism"!
The beating of the eyebrows lasted only two times before disappearing. Yang Ji was shocked, not sure if this was his illusion or if he had really beaten.
"Is it my delusion?"
Yang Ji thought for a while, suddenly took a few steps forward, bang, the beating of his eyebrows appeared again, it seemed to be much stronger, and after a few steps back, all the feelings disappeared without a trace.
Yang Ji's heart moved. Immediately understood.
"Buzz!"
Following the direction of the eyebrows, Yang Ji dived diagonally to the right.
Five!
The beating of the eyebrows is getting stronger and stronger.
Ten zhang!
Yang Ji felt the fetal movement of the Book of Great Confucianism. It was as if he was faintly called for some kind of weakness.
Thirteen zhang!
In front of Yang Ji, without warning, a huge rock, twenty or thirty zhang high, suddenly appeared in front of Yang Ji.
The boulder is heavy and boundless, standing underground. There was a faint brilliance inside the stone.
"Broken Dragon Stone!!"
Yang Ji let out a low breath, and his eyelids couldn't help jumping. The boulder in front of him, the boulder recorded in Luo Yunzi's wealthy family's "Shang Zhi" is actually a "broken dragon stone"!
The dragon stone is extremely hard, and the structure is dense, ten times harder than steel. It is difficult to be damaged by a warrior. Such a large piece of dragon stone weighs at least millions of catties.
Although Yang Ji has also reached the level of a martial general, he can even challenge a strong man like Yang Xuanlan. But it was impossible to lift such a large piece of Dragon Breaker.
Obviously, such a heavy boulder ground simply can't support it. With each passing moment, the boulder sank a little until it finally sank completely into the ground.
It's no wonder that he couldn't find the stone Luo Yunzi said.
"I don't know if the stone Luo Yunzi said is the same as this one?"
Yang Ji said secretly, driving the earth boat closer to the past.
"Boom!
Yang Ji stretched out his hand and touched it, and a cold feeling came from the bottom of his hand. But if you feel it carefully, after the cold, there is a warm heat rising from the bottom of your palm:
"This feeling,...... Isn't it the Broken Dragon Stone?"
Yang Ji was shocked in his heart. He had come into contact with Dragonstone. Although this boulder is very similar to the Broken Dragon Stone, the Broken Dragon Stone will definitely not have both hot and cold feelings.
"Boom!"
A cold light flashed, and without warning, Yang Ji pulled out the bloodthirsty sword at his waist and slashed it with a sword. Sparks and stones splashed, and the bloodthirsty sword flicked like it slashed at the hardest of steel.
"It's so hard!"
Yang Ji was secretly surprised. The Bloodthirsty Sword was something he had obtained from the relics of the Purple Yang Sword Monarch. Although he can't exert his true power due to his strength, even Yang Xuanlan's martial arts body can be injured.
But this broken dragon stone was not damaged at all after being hit by a sword.
"I thought it was a broken dragon stone, but the real broken dragon stone is never so powerful. What the hell is this?"
Yang Ji's eyes couldn't hide his surprise.
This is even more surprising than the discovery of a broken dragon stone underground.
There seemed to be an invisible force inside the "Broken Stone Dragon", blocking all the aura within a range of more than ten zhang. Out of this range, with Yang Ji's ability and the help of the Book of Great Confucianism, he couldn't feel it at all.
"Buzz!"
Quietly in the darkness, the earth boat slowly approached the boulder underground, and the dirt parted one after another, revealing the surface of the boulder.
"It seems to have words!"
Yang Ji's heart moved, and he felt that the surface of the boulder was crisscrossed with iron and silver, as if something was revealed.
"For the word, this is for the word!"
Yang Ji let out a low breath, maneuvering the earth boat and finally recognized the criss-crossing marks on the boulder:
"There are words, there are really words...... This is really the boulder recorded by the Roche family!"
Yang Ji's heart stirred.
Luo Yunzi is right, there is indeed a boulder here, and there are words engraved on it. It's just that the boulder is not on the surface, but in the depths of the earth.
"This is really a Confucian thing!"
Yang Ji was excited. The words on the boulder, coupled with the echo of the Book of Confucianism, Yang Ji is almost certain that the Confucian treasure in the historian's letter is likely to be the boulder in front of him.
"I wonder what's written on the boulder?"
Yang Ji suddenly had a strong curiosity.
"Buzz!"
Along the surface of the boulder, Yang Ji immediately explored the words on the boulder layer by layer.
"And the second word is the word 'and'. ”
Yang Ji was excited in his heart and continued to sink.
"For the word, the third one is for the word!"
Yang Ji frowned slightly: "For the sake of it, what does this mean?"
Yang Ji took a deep breath and continued to explore. Contrary to Yang Ji's expectations, the next moment, layers of dirt poured into his eyes.
-- The whole stone has come to an end!
"What's going on?"
Yang Ji was stunned, how could a pair of poems only have three words?
"By the way, there's another end!"
Yang Ji had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly swept towards the other end with a whoosh...... (To be continued......)
