In the quiet cave, there was a sudden crackling sound.

Dugu Zhishui grabbed the green vine and swung back, and when he fell back, he let go of his hand and landed firmly at the mouth of the cave. He looked into the cave and saw something scattered on the ground not far away, with a faint fluorescent glow around it. The white light that emanated from the cave came from the things on the ground. The cave was dimly lit, but the sight of Dugu did not affect the vision.

He cautiously explored the cave, and soon came to the fluorescent area. He looked closely into the depths of the cave, but due to the limited coverage of the fluorescence, everything in the depths of the cave could not be seen. After reaching out and sensing it carefully, he didn't find anything abnormal, and Dugu Zhishui was a little relieved. He was standing next to something that was glowing. Retracting his gaze from the depths of the cave, he crouched down and saw something buried in the dust on the ground, and it was from the exposed part of the thing that the faint fluorescence emanated.

Dugu Zhishui stretched out his hand to wipe away the dust on the ground, and the things underneath were gradually revealed. At this moment, his gaze suddenly froze, and his hand shook unconsciously. He stared at the half-exposed objects on the ground in a daze, and was a little stunned for a moment. He subconsciously glanced into the depths of the cave, and only felt that there was something bad in the depths of the cave. Taking a deep breath, he directly picked up the things on the ground.

It was a strip of something that glowed white. The moment he picked it up, Dugu Zhishui confirmed what it was. It was a calf bone, like a leg bone like mutton fat.

The leg bones were warm, and the white light flowed, and Dugu Zhishui felt the fluctuation of the spiritual power of the thin hairspring. The spiritual power was extremely pure, with a little sense of holiness. Dugu Zhishui had never seen such a skeleton, and he couldn't guess what level the owner of this skeleton had reached.

"At least it's much better than me," Dugu Zhishui thought to himself. He raised his eyes and swept the ground in front of him, and his scalp tingled. Within about five zhang ahead, the ground was densely packed with white points of light, which seemed to be a road paved with white bones. I don't know how many human bones are needed to form the scene in front of me.

His fingers gently rubbed the white bones in his hand, and he was a little hesitant to continue exploring the depths. The owners of the bones on the ground were obviously very powerful, but so many strong people were used to pave the way, and it is conceivable that there must be something remarkable in the depths of the cave. Thinking of the mountain peaks outside that had been split in half, the corners of Dugu's eyes jumped when he stopped the water.

After hesitating for a few breaths, Dugu stopped his heart and walked to the depths of the cave with a step. "I've been too comfortable lately, and I have to find some excitement. He muttered to himself, "I don't know what treasures will be in there." ”

Dugu Zhishui walked into the depths of the white bone road as if nothing happened, and soon he passed the white bone road. As the darkness grew darker ahead, he took out a torch and lit it, and found a corner not far ahead. Crossing the corner, the ground in front of you falls sharply. After walking down the slope for a while, the terrain suddenly became flat again, and a secret room appeared in front of me.

Dugu Zhishui approached the entrance of the secret room and saw that directly opposite the entrance was a stone table with an animal skin on it, and nothing else.

Retracting his gaze from the stone table, Dugu Zhishui quickly scanned every corner of the secret room. Suddenly, his eyes froze, and his heart couldn't help beating a little faster. On his right, against the wall, there was a stone bed, on which a man sat cross-legged. It wasn't a white bone, it was a flesh-and-blood body. The skin of the body was shriveled, and the whole person was like air-dried bacon. Dugu Zhishui didn't feel any breath fluctuations, nor did he see any movement of the body, it seemed to be a dried corpse, a dried corpse without any signs of decay.

However, Dugu Zhishui did not dare to relax in the slightest, and the white bones on the road had been buried by dust when he came, indicating that this cave had been sealed for many years. The fact that a flesh-and-blood corpse appeared in the depths of such a cave is strange in itself. This cave obviously does not have the conditions for embalming, and the problem of not decomposing after death is obviously the corpse itself.

Dugu Zhishui stood at the entrance of the secret room, carefully examining the dried corpse. The dry corpse had dark and slender hair, and was dressed in a distinctly different style from the present day, as if it were an older type of clothing. The dried corpse's eyes were closed, but its skin looked delicate. His eyes squinted at the animal skin on the stone table, and Dugu Zhishui cautiously approached the stone table. When he got closer, he grabbed the animal skin and threw it into the space ring without even looking at it. With the things in hand, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible. The more he looked at the dried corpse, the more strange he felt.

Carefully moving sideways to the entrance of the secret room, Dugu Zhishui used all his strength to leave the cave as quickly as possible. At the moment when his figure disappeared, the dried corpse's eyelids moved imperceptibly, as if he was about to wake up from his sleep. A vague smile quietly hung on the shriveled cheeks of the dried corpse......

Dugu Zhishui rushed out of the cave quickly, he jumped, grabbed the green vine with both hands and began to climb up. When he climbed to the top of the mountain, he let out a long breath, and he was afraid for a while. The moment he turned away from the secret room, the hairs on his back suddenly stood upside down, and an indescribable sense of danger hit his heart, making him desperate to flee outside. It wasn't until I got out of the cave that the feeling gradually faded.

Looking for directions, Dugu Zhishui returned to the camp along the way he came.

Chen Hu had been nervously paying attention to the movements around him, and when he saw Dugu Zhishui coming back, he immediately greeted him and stared at him with hope. Dugu Zhishui smiled, his palm flipped over, and there was already a dark red plant in his hand like a trick.

Chen Hu took the dragon's blood grass and thanked him excitedly. Sitting back by the campfire, Dugu stopped the water and took out the animal skin he got in the cave. Chen Hu sat aside, opened his mouth, and swallowed back the words that had just reached his mouth. Dugu Zhishui was busy looking at the animal skin, and didn't notice Chen Hu's actions.

The animal skin was very soft and delicate to the touch, and there was animal hair on one side. Flip to the inside of the hide, there are pictures and words on it. But the words on it are not the current common words, Dugu Zhishui recognizes those words, which are ancient texts, and they are still in use about 10,000 years ago.

The animal skin reads: "Yu Nai was born a martial artist, became a martial artist at the age of six, was called a grandmaster at the age of eleven, worshiped as a venerable at the age of fifteen, and became a saint at the age of weak." After twenty years of cultivation, there is no bottleneck all the way. The emperor of Ranwu has been a moat since ancient times. Yu also practiced hard for more than ten years before he could get a glimpse of it. Since ancient times, immortals and demons have not appeared in the world, and the realm of immortality has gradually become ethereal. The Emperor of Martial Arts is only two hundred years old. Yu has been at the peak of the emperor for many years, but he has not been able to make any more progress. Yu Zongheng has never been defeated in his life, and he is unwilling to die at the end of his life. After a hundred years of hard searching, I finally got clues. In the past, there was a person who was famous for his infinite battle, but he was an immortal who broke the sky and fought with people in the world. After that, the man disappeared into the wilderness and was never to be seen again. By coincidence, there was a treasure map left, and after many investigations, it was suspected that it was left by Zhan Wuji. Time was running out, so I decided to investigate. This trip will be dangerous, and I am afraid that I will not be able to retreat with my whole body. Leave a treasure map here, waiting for someone who is destined. Zang Tianshuo left a pen. ”

When he saw half of it, Dugu Zhishui was already a little abnormal, and when he saw the last three words "Zang Tianshuo", his face suddenly flushed sickly, and he vomited out. At this time, he only felt dizzy and dizzy, and his consciousness was drowsy. He lay on his back on the ground, gasping for air. Chen Hu was startled by him, thinking that he was injured when he went out to collect medicine, and hurriedly got up to help him.

Dugu Zhishui waved his hand and asked Chen Hu to sit down. He lay on the ground for a while, his breath gradually becoming calmer. At this time, there were only three words echoing in his mind: "Zhan Wuji, Zhan Wuji......

After a long silence, he got up again, and his eyes became a little solemn when he looked at the animal skin. The person who left the words was obviously in a very terrifying realm, and perhaps he had really reached the peak of the Martial Emperor as he said. Those words conceal sword intent, even in the current realm of Dugu Zhishui, when reading it, the spirit also feels the pain of a knife and an axe. Those self-preface parts seem to be just written casually, and they don't deliberately hide the sword intent in them, and what really hurts Dugu Zhishui is the last three words. The sword intent is self-generated between the pen, what a realm this is, Dugu Zhishui couldn't help but be in awe of the senior who called himself "Zang Tianshuo".

Dugu Zhishui didn't dare to look at the words on the animal skin anymore, he looked at the map on the side of the words. The coverage of the map is so large that almost the entire Dongyuan is included. In the leftmost area of the map, there is a small red circle that circles a small area. It's a small area on the map, but it's actually a very large area. After all, the entire Dongyuan is only the size of such a map. Dugu Zhishui roughly estimated that the area in the red circle encompassed at least a radius of thousands of miles. The place where the red circle is located is next to the outer wilderness, as if it is a hundred thousand mountains. To the right of the red circle, to the east of that area, there was a city, marked "Wanshan City" in small letters on the map.

"Wanshan City?" Dugu Zhishui had never heard of this city.

After looking at the map for a while, Dugu Zhishui put away the animal skin, and decided to inquire about the location of "Wanshan City" after returning to Anping. When he was idle again, he remembered what had happened in the cave before. "Didn't that senior go to find the Zhan Wuji Mansion?Who was that person in the cave?Could it be that he came back at the end?Did he find the Zhan Wuji Mansion?Did the Zhan Wuji Mansion ever pass away?" A series of questions swirled in Dugu Zhishui's mind, and he felt very confused.

"Well...... Benefactor ......" Dugu stopped thinking about it, and Chen Hu's voice suddenly rang out in cringe.

"What's wrong?" asked Dugu Zhishui, turning his head.

"I ...... I'm worried about my dad's illness, I've been out for days, and I want to go back quickly. ”

Hearing this, Dugu Zhishui nodded slightly and asked, "Do you recognize the way?"

Chen Hu nodded heavily and said, "I know, I often go hunting in the mountains with the people in the village, and I can look at the stars and the sun to identify the direction." ”

"This is a deep mountain, you are not a monk, and you are injured, it is too dangerous to wander alone at night. Dugu Zhishui frowned, "That's it, you hurry up and rest now, and I'll follow you to your village at dawn to see your father's illness." ”

Chen Hu was stunned at first, then ecstatic, and kept kowtowing to thank him.

Dugu Zhishui closed his eyes and began to meditate and pranayama. Watching the words on the hides had almost drained his energy. Although he has not yet found all the medicinal materials in the "Hundred Herbs", the remaining medicinal materials are not ordinary things, and they can be found but not sought, and blind search may be in vain. Moreover, although there are many medicinal materials in the deep mountains outside Anping City, some medicinal materials are produced in special areas, and it is impossible to find all the medicinal materials on the "Baicao Collection" here. For example, medicinal herbs such as snow lotus are only available in snow-capped mountains or extremely cold places, and Anping City is located in a warm place, with evergreen plants and trees all year round, and it is impossible to have such things around.
