Chapter 16: The Bottom of the Ruins

"Mo ......" Jiang Ye muttered and fell into deep thought, he always felt that this ruin was calling to him.

He stepped forward and looked at the stele carefully, and found that there were many words and patterns on it that he couldn't understand, "Here...... Could it have something to do with his mother......" A strange thought popped up, but then Jiang Ye shook his head, "No, just a single ink word can't prove anything, besides, this is located on the border, so remote." Unable to think of a reason, Jiang Ye simply stopped thinking about it, and prepared to find the entrance to enter the ruins to have a look.

After going around for a long time, Jiang Ye didn't find the entrance, he didn't see a single door, it was difficult to forcibly break through such a thick stone wall and enter the sky, he had no clue at all, he could only focus on the stone tablet again, he groped on the stone tablet with both hands, wanting to see if there was anything that could be pressed to trigger the mechanism, but no.

Jiang Ye, who was about to give up, was just about to withdraw his hand, when suddenly there was a sharp pain in his fingers, and an inconspicuous small pattern on the stone tablet actually pierced his fingers, he bounced back his fingers like an electric shock, and found that the slight wound was bleeding non-stop, and he hurriedly put it in his mouth and sucked it.

Just when I got closer to see the strangeness of the pattern, the blood actually filled the pattern along the nick, and the "boom" stone wall suddenly vibrated and slowly moved to both sides.

"What kind of mechanism is this...... You can only get in with a drop of blood......" After being puzzled for a while, Jiang Ye still opened his legs and walked into the ruins.

As soon as he walked in, there were two rows of lights hanging on the walls on both sides of the passage, and there was even a bright light illuminating the inside of the passage, Jiang Ye stepped forward curiously, and found that this lamp was neither an oil lamp nor a lit fire, but actually emitted from the inside of a spherical object, "This material is not a glowing jade or bead." Jiang Ye was curious to take it down to see how this thing glowed, but he couldn't unscrew this thing even with a lot of effort, and he could only give up and continue to move forward after trying many times. It didn't take long for the murals on the walls on both sides of the road to attract Jiang Ye. I don't know how long the ruins have been deserted, but the colors of the murals have not fallen off at all, and they are vividly displayed. The mural roughly means that there was once a family known for their tricks here, who originally had a territory in the outside world, and lived here for a hundred years to escape the war and the dictator's bribes, but then left here for some reason, and the mural ended here, "The lighting alone is so magical, and I don't know what other ingenious things are inside." Jiang Ye shook his head, and his interest in this relic became even stronger.

After walking for a while, a light gradually penetrated in front of him, as if he was about to walk out of the passage, Jiang Ye quickened his pace. After adjusting to the poor lighting for a while, he found that it was an open space, and a statue first caught his attention. The statue is three meters high, and it is carved with an old man dressed in cloth, holding a weapon that looks like a bow and arrow but does not look like a bow and arrow, and the body of the arrow is horizontally fixed under a wooden box-like thing, and there are grooves on it that can be slided, and the structure inside can not be seen through a statue. The carver's technique was extremely superb, and the old man's face exuded a sense of murder, and his aura was self-assured, making Jiang Ye, who was standing in front of the statue, feel as if he was facing a living person at this time. When he saw his hand, Jiang Ye admired the carving person again in his heart, and the calluses on the old man's hand were vividly restored. "This ...... Could it be that a real old man was petrified and sealed......" Jiang Ye shook his head, amused by his words. "The statue can stand in the center, this old man should be the patriarch of this family, but this ruins are so big, this family should be very rich, why is he wearing such an ordinary cloth shirt and holding a weapon in his hand......"

Jiang Ye found that after entering the ruins, there were many doubts that had not been solved in his mind. People are like this, the more magical and secret a thing is, the more they want to uncover its mystery.

After staring at the statue for a long time, Jiang Ye didn't find anything that could provide clues, so he had to give up. After no longer paying attention to the statue, he noticed a lot of wood piled up in a corner of the courtyard, and he was shocked when he walked in.

Because of Xu Yuan, Jiang Ye has also been familiar with the wood used to make bows, arrows, halberds and other weapons since he was a child. This pile of wood turned out to be precious iron birch.

Iron wood can be said to be the king of wood used as a weapon maker. The sword struck this wood as if it were on a thick iron plate, and it did not move.

This precious tree is about 20 meters high, with a trunk diameter of about 70 centimeters, and a lifespan of about 300-350 years. The bark is dark red or almost black with white spots on top. The leaves are oval in shape. Its production area is not extensive, and the harvesting areas are heavily garrisoned by the royal family, which is exclusively used by the dynasty to harvest for the manufacture of weapons, and the law stipulates that the sale of this wood in the market is a capital offense, and it should be beheaded. Even on the black market, Tie Yemu is priceless. So many Tieye Wood piled up in front of Jiang Ye's eyes, which deeply stimulated his eyes. If these are pulled to the black market, they will undoubtedly cause a sensation like a huge wave.

Jiang Ye stared at this pile of Tieye wood with bright eyes, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, what kind of trees is this, this is obviously a pile of gold! But soon he calmed down, even if he worked hard to transport the wood out of the dangerous mountains and forests alive, it would inevitably be a scene of people dying for money and birds dying for food on the black market, and there was no shortage of greedy people, which would inevitably affect him, maybe Banan Village would suffer a catastrophe, this truth Jiang Ye still understood, and the last point was enough to make him give up. Breathing a sigh of relief, Jiang Ye shook his head with a smile, "It's better not to covet things that don't belong to you...... I don't know what the old drunkard will have when he goes out, hahahaha, this thing is more precious to him. With that, he turned and left, continuing to explore the strange ruins.

After experiencing the unusualness of the ruins here, Jiang Ye looked forward to the extraordinary things that would appear next. The magical mechanism before entering the door, the globular objects that glow and illuminate, the vivid murals that have not faded for so long, the mysterious statues, and so many iron wood all add a touch of mystery to the ruins.

In the back there is the stove room and the sleeping room, which are very ordinary. After noticing that there was no abnormality, Jiang Ye walked quickly and walked to a staircase, extending to the lower floor. Jiang Ye walked down the stairs without hesitation, and came to the underground floor around the corner, it was pitch black, when Jiang Ye was just looking for something to light up, the stone under his feet was loosened, Jiang Ye reflexively rolled to the right, but got up and found that it was just a false alarm. The walls lit up one after the other, just like the glowing spherical objects on the walls that came in.

Jiang Ye wiped his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, then he looked at the bottom of this ruin, which was much bigger than he had imagined. "I really don't know if this is naturally formed or artificially excavated, if it is dug by hand, how many people will take how many years it will take......" After speaking, Jiang Ye walked inside.

There were a lot of wood scraps, as well as tools such as rulers, saws, planers, and ink fountains, including some that Jiang Ye had never seen before. "It seems that this is the family's workshop, what happened here in the first place, so that they fled in such a hurry, and they didn't even have time to pack up their tools. Jiang Ye was very puzzled in his heart, since he walked into the ruins, every place here was full of mystery and mystery.

When Jiang Ye fell into deep thought, a gliding sound suddenly came from the darkness, Jiang Ye was startled, stared at the place where the sound came from, and shouted, "Who? Who's there?" but the voice disappeared again. He was about to walk over to investigate, when suddenly there was a chill down his spine, something staring at him from behind, he hurriedly turned around, and then froze in place, his face blue and yellow, yellow and blue......

A pair of lantern-like yellow eyes were staring at him, the head and body of the inverted triangle were densely scaled, protected like armor, and the marble-like patterns of the whole body stood upright, like thousands of thorns.

A giant python about fifteen meters long and two meters thick was staring at Jiang Ye with a huge snake letter......
