Chapter 54: Into the Cave
Shen Shi chuckled in his heart, stopped his steps, and subconsciously looked at the little black pig.
He got along with Xiao Hei day and night, and for such a long time, of course, he also noticed and saw a few times that Xiao Hei's eyes had appeared strangely, but that strange look often flashed, and it rarely appeared in Pingsuli, even if it appeared once by chance, it seemed to have no effect on the surrounding things, so Shen Shi gradually forgot about it, and only regarded it as a manifestation of the abnormal blood change of the stone skin pig in Xiao Hei's body.
Just standing in front of this Yin Dragon stone statue, Shen Shi found that there was a bit of similarity between the dragon eyes of this ancient dragon and the strange appearance in Xiao Hei's eyes, which suddenly made Shen Shi's heart almost set off a stormy wave, you must know that according to the surname of this week, the Yin Dragon is one of the three ancient dragons, equivalent to the ancestor of the legendary dragon clan, and the supernatural strength is naturally self-explanatory.
But after a while, Shen Shi quickly frowned again, the little black pig's eyes were very clear and calm at the moment, and there was no difference in the slightest, so they couldn't compare with each other, but Shen Shi recalled the pig eyes he had seen a few times in his memory, and after comparing them with the dragon eyes on the Yin Dragon stone statue, he still found that there seemed to be a difference between the two.
The three-color light and gray haze that occasionally appeared in Xiao Hei's eyes, no matter the color and darkness and the power and momentum, were far from being compared with the majestic and world-like dragon eyes displayed on this stone statue.
Perhaps, it was just an accidental coincidence?
Shen Shi was silent for a moment, shook his head slightly, thinking that Xiao Hei's life experience was unknown to others, but he couldn't be clearer, on the first day he arrived in the demon world, he saw the birth of this little black pig with his own eyes, and it was impossible for the bloodline of the stone pig to be mistaken, where could it be related to some ancient Yin Dragon?
Even if the bloodline of the demon beast is returned to the ancients, it is impossible to return to the ancestors of an ancient dragon in a pig, right?
Thinking of this, Shen Shi also smiled a little self-deprecatingly, or thought too much. Immediately throwing away this obviously unrealistic idea, he greeted Xiao Hei, and led it all the way out of the stone statue community in the middle of the valley, and came to the cliff at the end of the valley.
The thirty-six caves of the Black Hole Cave are lined up and stand side by side on the stone walls, and the light can only illuminate a small part of the cave entrance, and the deeper part is a darkness, and I don't know where it leads.
Shen Shi's gaze swept over the numerous caves, and he hesitated in his heart, at this moment, new monks were constantly coming in the valley, and many people were in a similar situation, I don't know which cave the passage is, and it is difficult to wander outside the cave, but after hesitation, most people finally chose one of the caves, and walked in with a little caution.
The valley is located in the shade of the high mountains, and there is little sunlight on weekdays, but the cold mountain wind blows from time to time, which makes people feel that there will be a coolness on the body, not to mention the stone statue regulation in this valley, which is clearly the scene of the tomb cemetery in ancient times, and for no reason it adds a bit of gloomy chill.
Looking at the dark cave entrances, the surrounding monks walked into the caves one by one with hopes on their faces, and then there seemed to be no sound, and no one came out of the caves for a long time. Maybe it was because the cave was very large in depth, or maybe they really found the tomb treasures buried deep underground, but Shen Shi always felt that for some reason, these many cave entrances looked like cold eyes, staring coldly at everyone in this valley, and behind the cave entrance, no one knew what would be.
※※※
It's just that a cultivator has always been determined to be persevering, and if he stops just because he is worried about the danger that he doesn't know exists, then he will not be able to continue on the difficult path of cultivation. Therefore, although Shen Shi was a little hesitant in his heart, he did not have the idea of giving up, but walked slowly around these caves, carefully observing, and at the same time kept thinking in his heart.
It's just that the caves on the top of the stone wall seem to be almost the same, although it is impossible for each cave to be exactly the same, but in general, there is nothing particularly outstanding or conspicuous, and it is really difficult to decide which cave to choose to enter.
Just when Shen Shi hesitated again and again, thinking that he really couldn't just choose one to go in and take a look like the monks before, and then withdraw if it was really dangerous, suddenly the little black body at his feet paused, and then seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then sniffed lightly near the ground for a while, and then snorted at Shen Shi twice.
Shen Shi frowned and glanced at it.
Xiao Hei looked ahead, Shen Shi followed its gaze, and saw that there was a cave that looked no different from the surroundings, and looked at the position from the right to count the ninth cave entrance.
Shen Shi squatted down, touched Xiao Hei's head, and said in a low voice, "You smell it?"
Xiao Hei didn't look particularly sure, and even hesitated a little, tilted his head and thought about it, and actually began to sniff nearby again, while slowly approaching the entrance of the cave.
Shen Shi sighed and stood up, I don't know how many monks have come to this valley these days, and the people who have entered and exited these caves are also innumerable, it is really difficult for some strong people to distinguish the breath of the group of people in the Hou family in this chaotic aura, even if Xiao Hei has a strange ability that is extremely keen.
Walking to the entrance of the cave, Shen Shi quickly felt a cold wind blowing from the depths of the cave, like being immersed in cold water, and a chill seemed to rise from every skin on his body. Although with his current Dao realm of Ning Yuan Realm, there was no problem in resisting this cold qi, Shen Shi still frowned slightly.
The yin qi here seems to be a little stronger than in ordinary cemeteries.
But after thinking about it, this big tomb has been buried here for more than many years, and it has accumulated over time, and it is normal for the yin qi to be heavier, and when he groaned for a while, Shen Shi still nodded, and said to the little black pig: "Let's go, go in and have a look at this hole, we can find the end, if we can't find it, let's take a look." ”
Saying that he walked first, the little black pig raised his head and glanced at the master a little blankly, and then looked at the darkness at the entrance of the cave, and seemed to hesitate, but when he saw Shen Shi walking into the cave, Xiao Hei finally snorted twice, and followed, and soon the figures of one person and one pig disappeared into the depths of the shadow of the cave.
And outside the entrance of the cave behind them, I don't know when another figure came over, with wide sleeves in a robe, and a chic appearance, it was the surname Xiangshi of that Zhou, I saw him looking around with a calm expression, his eyes swept over the entrances of the thirty-six caves in this row, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the towering peak.
The peak is like a sword, piercing the sky, the peaks are undulating, the mountains are lofty, the valley is under the peaks, the eyes of the Xiangshi are sweeping, the eyes are thoughtful, the eyebrows are provocative, but he whispers to himself: "The peaks of Gaoling are seventy-two......
In the middle of the words, I saw his sleeve robe move slightly, and he could vaguely see several fingers flexed and stretched between the sleeves, as if he was counting something.
After a while, the essence of his eyes suddenly flashed, and he stroked his beard and said, "Hmm? Could it be the ancient lost secret technique 'Netherworld Soul Lock'? If that's the case, this place may really be a little not simple......"
His brow furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, his gaze withdrew from the distant peaks, and returned to the holes, his eyes flashing, and after a moment, he suddenly turned his gaze to the second cave on the left.
"Oh my God!"
He spat out a word that he didn't understand, and the next moment, his gaze suddenly jumped again, and he looked at the seventeenth cave on the left, and then said:
"Ground!"
Immediately, his eyes flashed, his eyes turned slightly, his body turned slightly to the side, and he looked at the sixth cave on the right, and said:
"Die!"
His eyes flashed, and then he looked at the ninth cave on the right, and said:
"Raw!"
Then he looked at the entrance of the eleventh cave on the right, and said:
"Broken!"
Look at the eighth hole on the left, and say:
"Hide!"
As he spoke, he seemed to want to continue to read these inexplicable words, but he was suddenly startled, but his eyes slowly turned back, with a hint of surprise on his face, and he looked at the ninth cave entrance on the right side of this row of caves again.
After a while, he suddenly smiled, shook his head and smiled:
"This little friend's luck seems to be good, but is it really luck......
The priest stood there and pondered for a moment, then turned around, calmly walked to the left side of the row of caves, counted the second holes, and walked in.
※※※
After walking into the cave, Shen Shi soon felt that his eyes were dark, and the light seemed to be blocked out of the cave entrance at once, but soon, he found that there was a faint green glow on the stone wall of the cave here, and he couldn't see it in the bright place outside the cave.
Looking at the past, there don't seem to be too many traces of artificial excavation in this cave, and the stone walls around the stone cave are not smooth and flat, there are many sharp and strange-shaped stones that come out abruptly, but the road under his feet is quite flat, but after walking for a while, under the dim green shimmer of light on the surrounding stone walls, Shen Shi suddenly felt that the surroundings suddenly quieted down, and there seemed to be no one else except himself.
In the huge cave, it seems that only he is alone, and even the shadow behind him looks distorted and a little hideous in the turquoise glow, which is dark and dark, giving people a strange illusion of being in the legendary Yellow Spring Hell, which makes people can't help but be frightened.
Fortunately, at this time, a grunting sound sounded at his feet, dispelling the suffocating silence, and a familiar figure ran to Shen Shi's feet, dispelling the loneliness and loneliness for no reason, bringing a bit of warmth.
Shen Shi smiled, leaned over and touched Xiao Hei's head, the little black pig looked up at him, grinned, and then rubbed Shen Shi's palm with his head.
Shen Shi stood up straight again and looked forward, only to see that there was a cold place ahead, and there was a faint darkness in the depths, and the road under his feet began to slope down significantly, as if the place where this cave led was deep underground.
Is the place ahead the tomb where the legendary treasure is located, or the terrifying Yellow Springs Hell?
Shen Shi smiled and said to Xiao Hei: "Let's keep walking." ”
"Hmph. Xiao Hei called out in a low voice, as if he readily agreed.
Shen Shi gently kicked the back of its buttocks, and said with a smile:
"Then you go ahead, I'll cut the back!"
"Humble, coax, coax, ......"
This time, the little black pig's hum sounded very dissatisfied.
