Chapter 408: Ancestor Tablet
The withered yellow note had not yet come out of Li Dabang's hand, as if it was pulled by an invisible hand, and flew towards the smooth stone wall, and suddenly, a groove almost the same size as the paper appeared on the stone wall, and the golden runes lit up like a snake.
The hole was about four feet square and could be passed through by one person, and the yellowed note fell again after the hole was opened, and was taken in the hand of the head of the company, Li Dabang.
"President, I'll go and investigate!"
Even if there was no personal demonstration of the previous captain "Ghost Guy", Ye Mo also knew that he needed to step forward at this moment, and take the first step to explore the possible dangers ahead, and after getting the approval of President Li Dabang, he secretly took a deep breath, leaned up, and entered this upward passage with the support of his arm.
The inner wall of the passage was not smooth, and with the faint glow of a button-like magic weapon on his chest, Ye Mo noticed that on this stone wall, there were still a few black marks supported by the palm of his hand, like the traces left by the people who passed here before.
Ye Mo then thought of the faceless crystal beast that he had just encountered, judging from the strange trading conditions issued by the other party, this matter was very likely, thinking of this, he observed the traces along the way more and more carefully, but only found a few faint blood marks of aging, although it could only show that the person who came here had made a deal with the faceless crystal beast, but there was no evidence to prove that it was related to his father.
The passage was fifteen zhang long, until it touched a heavy wooden plank, Ye Mo quietly sensed a few breaths, and was sure that there was no danger around, so he used his hand to lift the heavy wooden plank, one jumped, and then one rolled, putting on a defensive posture, but seeing that there was no light around him, there was a dead silence.
Where is this?
didn't dare to rashly throw out the light curtain talisman, Ye Mo hurriedly took out a small note, wrote a few words, grabbed a stone casually, wrapped it in a note, and threw it into the hole he had just climbed out.
Soon after, the "Black Bull" climbed up.
"Xiaowan, where is this?"
"I don't know, use your bronze mirror to draw a map. ”
"Black Bull" was ordered, although he was two months earlier than Ye Mo joined the club, but the two of them can be regarded as friends who can talk to each other, often helping each other, and injecting spiritual power into the bronze mirror, the "Phantom Bronze Mirror" suddenly floated out of several faint blue lights, and suddenly merged into the surrounding darkness, and after a while, on the bronze mirror, thin lines were drawn, which was a map of the situation within five miles around.
At the same time, his own magic skill "Mind Extension" can also be closely coordinated with this bronze mirror to expand the detection range of the bronze mirror, which can be regarded as a perfect match and complement each other.
As the map became more detailed, Ye Mo threw out a prop symbol, rubbed the map down, and held it in his hand, but his heart was turbulent, the situation around here was similar to some of the details of the map he got in the Sun family's old house, that is to say, his father was here back then, but how did he open this passage?
The heart is like electricity, he played a light curtain charm, just the "black bull" exploration, proving that there is no danger near here, you can use this charm at this moment, with the bright light, the two of them were able to get a first glimpse of the shape of this place, but they saw that there were broken walls everywhere, but it was not like man-made damage, but more like encountering ground movement, resulting in a large-scale collapse.
Judging from the shape of the masonry and the decayed wood, there were once continuous pavilions and pavilions here, the two of them divided labor, walked nearly a hundred steps left and right, and saw that they were still the same, so they hurriedly turned back, at this time, Ye Mo noticed that not far from the entrance of the cave, there was a negative stone tablet that had not yet been damaged, and turned around to see that on the base behind it, there was a square mark, which was slightly lighter than the surrounding dust, presumably here was the mechanism that placed the withered yellow paper and opened this passage.
It is also extremely difficult to find such a mystery, Ye Mo suspected that his father and others may have entered this ruin, and then found this strange note, but how did they, who were ordinary people at the beginning, discover the mystery of this talisman and the correct place to place it? To this day, it is still unknown. My father has been dead for many years, and he has not left a word, and the people who traveled with him back then have all passed away, and future generations do not even know the existence of this route, and it is really difficult to know the secrets of the past.
It has been a long time since he came up to explore here, Ye Mo didn't dare to continue to delay, and asked the "Black Bull" to be on guard at the entrance of the cave, so he returned alone, and presented what he saw here, as well as the map presented by the symbols, but he didn't say a word about his father's visit to trade with the faceless crystal beast, it was the secret of the rise of the family, and it was also a difficult mystery to solve, which had nothing to do with this trip, and he asked himself that it had nothing to do with loyalty to the organization.
Unexpectedly, the elder adult's face did not change, but he nodded slightly, which made Ye Mo suspicious, the other party seemed to have known the secret for a long time, and just came to confirm one or two, and the people accompanying him were quickly dismissed by him and returned, leaving Ye Mo alone. Then, he threw out a bronze trumpet-like magic weapon, absorbing all the dust in the vicinity, leaving not a single penny.
"Xiaowan, take off your clothes. ”
Ye Mo was stunned, on the one hand, the president actually knew his code name, which was rare in the meeting, which showed that he had already received the attention of the president in this organization of more than 300 monks, and there would definitely be more opportunities in the future, on the other hand, what was the rhythm of letting me take off my clothes?
Seeing that the surroundings were clean and dust-free, and there were only the president and himself, he then remembered some rumors in the meeting, the elder was in the prime of life, but he had never married a wife and had children, although he was fat, but for him who was rich in wealth and never stingy in rewarding his subordinates
, it is not difficult to find a favorite Taoist partner. Wouldn't it really be as the rumors said, Ye Mo suddenly felt a little weak, and the hidden parts of his body were actually a little uncomfortable.
No, I should think crookedly, no, although the elder doesn't seem to be too decent, he shouldn't be the kind of person with special fetishes...... Or how can you be so anxious, this situation is not very suitable, unless you have a more special hobby, your heart is full of thoughts, and the movements in your hands are three points slower.
"There's a special task for you. ”
Ye Mo was keenly aware of this word, and when he hesitated again, he saw the president take out a black wooden box, and the worry on his face continued to froze.
"I will take the "ghost guy" and the others into the well of earth fire, and after four hours, you will use the magic weapon in this box to deal with the surrounding arrangement, remove all traces, and then leave from here. Li Dabang pointed to the hole on his head, "The robe on your body has my special arrangement, so it can't be used for future actions." ”
I see.
Ye Mo quietly let out a sigh of relief, quickly changed into his robe, took the opportunity to wipe the cold sweat on the back of his neck, and carefully took the wooden box, only to feel that it was a little heavy to start, obviously, this task of sweeping the beginning and tail is not simple, but it is very important.
"I want to leave Black Bull to help me. I don't know if it's possible, President?" On the one hand, Ye Mo felt that he needed a helper to ensure the safety of staying here, and on the other hand, taking this opportunity, he wanted to introduce the "Black Bull" to the president as well, which was a chance to help his brother who often helped him, which was different from the brother Wei Shu who introduced him to the club, who preferred to keep a low profile and be a cold-blooded and unpopular killer.
"Is that the boy with the bronze mirror? This is the ruins of a cave, and you must have found the mechanism that opened this passage and knew how to return it. Note that you and he must stay on it until four hours later, and look for a way out of this place, and if there is anything unusual, do not go deeper, and make arrangements after I return. ”
"Yes, yes!"
Ye Mo took the withered yellow note that the chairman flicked over, and didn't ask the president the purpose of going deep into the well of earth fire, that was not what he should ask, at this moment, he just needed to return immediately, climb into the shaft-like hole, and complete the task assigned by the president.
The note was as warm as it had been when I presented it.
............
In the tortuous deep passage, Jiang Feng continued to explore, and with the help of the shadow, he could see the layout of the room at a glance without using any lighting props.
Compared with the vicinity of the depleted blood pool, there are many traces of artificial arrangement in the passage, but most of them have been damaged by the erosion of time, leaving only a lot of spars with depleted spiritual power, and a few artifacts that have not yet decayed, but they are of little value.
After traveling for half an hour, Jiang Feng finally found a fork in the road, marked it on the wall, sensed that there was no monk aura around, and asked the opinions of the Black Snake Spirit Taihua and the Phantom Spirit Yingge, and learned that there was no danger that the two of them could detect here, so Jiang Feng walked into this fork in the road.
Walking a hundred steps, you will meet a pair of open wooden doors to block, but it has long been decayed, gently push it will be broken into wooden strips of powder, into the eye is a wide hall, in the black vision, only three faint red light, to get closer, see the faint red light under the reflection, worship is actually three wooden plaques, wooden plaques do not know what material to make, seems to withstand the erosion of the years, has not been damaged at all.
"Enshrine the god of my ancestor Gu Yunzi"
"Enshrine the Divine Throne of the Venerable Master"
The third wooden plaque is placed a little crookedly, and there is not a word on it, but judging from the dust on it, it has been prepared for many years, judging from the material of the wooden plaque, the second and third rankings should be prepared by the descendants of the Venerable Storm, and this descendant should not have died, perhaps the master here, the initiator of the creation of those resentful spirits.
On the lower desk of the ranking, there was a heavy book on display, Jiang Feng stepped forward and brushed off the dust on it, but saw that there were only four scribbled words written on it: Book of Inheritance.
What kind of inheritance is this, and what is recorded? Jiang Feng stretched out his hand to look, but felt a force of repulsion, he wanted to turn it but couldn't, even if he used his spiritual power, he couldn't turn even a page.
It seems that there is a special prohibition on this book, but I want to find out but I can't get there. Jiang Feng sighed secretly, but he didn't have much regret, after all, he came here to help Li Dabang, not to hunt for treasure, and this trip to explore is also to find a way to leave here as soon as possible, so he was ready to leave, and straightened the crooked tablet with his hand.
The ear chamber was more than a zhang long, seven or eight feet wide, and the stone walls were full of red rays. They gathered at the bottom of the wall that seemed to have an inscription on the magic circle, condensed into a wide robe, and when Jiang Feng approached, the blood-colored robe inadvertently floated into the air, and his arms trembled slightly, making a hugging appearance, but soon he fell back and continued to hibernate, as if waiting for something.
This arrangement is very strange, Jiang Feng looked at the magic circle on the wall for a long time, and did not see any eyebrows, his attainments in the magic circle, how many catties and taels are still clear, thinking of this, he played a prop symbol, recorded the appearance of the magic circle in the slightest, and planned to stay until he went out here, and then ask Fang Jinlu or Shangguan Boliang to see what the mystery of this magic circle is.
............
"Senior, we are leaving...... Or don't go
?”
Zhou Xing heard the whispered inquiry of the person behind him for the second time, it was the one-eyed dragon Sun Dasheng, since the few monks lurking on the opposite side did not know what order to leave, only he and Sun Dasheng were left here, and the symbols on the spire have now lit up seven.
As the symbol gradually lit up, the living corpses kneeling around had fallen nearly a hundred, and there was a tendency to increase, which showed that this spire-like arrangement was absorbing some kind of existence among these corpses, and then condensing them in one place, opening some kind of magic circle, or about to summon a terrifying existence.
"They may not have gone far. ”
Zhou Xing replied casually, in fact, according to his perception, the other party has been far away from here, and there is no conflict with his side, and it is not very likely that he will ambush himself in the middle now, he just suddenly became interested, and wanted to know what the purpose of the arrangement here was.
However, he also knew that this matter was extremely dangerous, and if he really summoned some kind of evil thing, then it was extremely unlikely that he would be able to leave safely, and this thing might escape from here, causing disaster to everyone.
Although this is the territory of the Imperial Wind Sect, it has little to do with him...... That can't let these hurtful corpse thieves succeed, thinking of this, he turned around and said in a low voice, "Sun Dasheng, what can you do to destroy the evil and destroy those living corpses?" Zhou Xing remembered the matter of gathering the number of corpses when the battle was opened before, presumably these living corpses, each one of them is very important.
"Broken ...... Destruction?" Sun Dasheng's voice trembled a little, pretending to be calm.
"Yes. ”
"Senior, although I have done tomb robbery, I have been washing my hands for a long time. ”
"Are you messing up quite badly now? After this vote, I can introduce you to the Asagama Sect on an errand. Zhou Xing's eyes were locked on Sun Dasheng's face, and the four-corner lamp just now showed that this person still had some means of making a living in the past, and he had not thrown it away.
"Really?"
Sun Dasheng's black blindfold shook with it, but he immediately remembered that the Asa Mountain Sect seemed to be just a small sect, but it sounded better than being a loose cultivator all the time, otherwise, he would not have taken the risk and made this suspected deal today, "I, can I take my family with me?"
"Of course, with me in charge, I can place you and your family in Donghu County, Assayama. Zhou Xing thought about it, and attached more specific conditions, he can still call the shots in this matter, Sun Dasheng, although most of the means can't be put on the table, but he is quite thoughtful, and he can't tell how his heart is in a short period of time, and he can stay by his side as an errand boy, and he can supervise one or two.
It's always good to have one more monk to defect, Donghu County has always lacked the assistance of monks, and after the Chixiamen Rebellion, it made matters worse, plus Jiang Yunqi, the disciple of the head of the sect, still doesn't know what to do, and there are few competent people to help in everything in the county, this person may be able to help, not to mention that this person seems to be quite old, plus he only has a single eye, and he must have broken off the thought of the avenue, and he probably hopes to find a place to retire with peace of mind.
"Okay! Thank you senior!" Sun Dasheng finally nodded, groped out a half-used storage bag from his arms, and threw out a large ball of various colored rune papers, although the quality seemed to be extremely average, but it was better than a lot of them, Zhou Xing even doubted that the golden basin he said was not a business of selling tomb robbers.
"The Heavenly Dao Talisman of the Speaker, the Jinguang Town Evil Talisman, the Chengtai Qingming Talisman. Sun Dasheng introduced one by one, as long as it is like this, it should have some effect on ordinary living corpses.
The name is so domineering, it turns out that it is just a commonly used means for ordinary people, Zhou Xing listened, he couldn't help but have such an evaluation in his heart, tried to inject spiritual power into these runes, and soon sensed that this kind of runes were at most equivalent to first-order runes of very poor quality, but compared to the golden light runes that are more powerful but not aimed at living corpses alone, the effect of such items may be better, not to mention, most of these corpses are mortal in their lifetimes.
"I'm coming!" With the promise, Sun Dasheng gained a lot of courage. He immediately had a broom-like "earth magic weapon" in his hand, and hung the three talismans on the front of the broom one by one, and injected spiritual power into the long pole, and the talisman was stretched out like a branch, and he just shook it, and half of the talisman flew towards a crouching living corpse in front of him.
Hiss!
On the back of the living corpse, there was a sudden sound of dissolution, and in just a moment, it turned into a puddle of pus, Sun Dasheng cast another spell, and the second one fell down one after another.
"Come again!"
............
North of the Red Dragon Gate, Zen Heart City, the sixteenth layer of the prison.
The body of the Venerable Cloud Star with his back to the cell door suddenly paused, and the symbol carved on the withered skin of his abdomen suddenly dimmed, as if it had been strongly disturbed, and then, his body became depressed, and he fell headlong into the cell.
After a long time, a brown-haired mouse crawled out of the small hole in the corner, quickly ran to the vicinity of the spare, grabbed it with its short forelimbs, swallowed it one after another, and then drilled back into the cave where it came, and when it came out of the other end of the cave, it was grabbed by a short-haired weasel that had been waiting there, swallowed it in one gulp, and the yellow weasel that seemed to have a spirit arched its upper body, looked left and right, and quickly burrowed into the bushes near the prison, and disappeared.
............
Jiang Feng was about to leave, continuing to look for a way to leave, but a cold air came behind him.
The afterglow swept away, and the blood robe that was originally dormant, stretching out its handsless sleeves, had already come to his face with teeth and claws, and he hurriedly sacrificed the "phantom body protector", but the blood robe seemed to have no body, penetrating the phantom and integrating into his body.
