Chapter 286: The Secret of the Stone Cave (5)
Si Xila said: "The Shennong clan had this parchment seven hundred years ago, and many ancestors spent their lives trying to understand the mysteries in it, but they found nothing, and they ended up with hatred. After that, no one took it seriously. If you really want to be immortal, you would have been kept in private possession by the patriarchs of the past generations, would you still put it here?"
Lu Xiaoyuan pointed to the two rubbed pieces of paper and asked, "When did this happen?"
Si Xila said: "This is what the Great Elder put here a few months ago, no one in the Shennong clan uses a sword, and this sword technique is vague, and no one cares." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan said in his heart: "I think that the senior also engraved his life experience on the wall of the cave, and Sharplun could see it, but it was destroyed before I entered the cave." ”
When the two sneaked back to the ancestral ancestral hall, passing by the prison, Lu Xiaoyuan suddenly thought of Xue Yin and asked Si Xila, "Will that fake saint be locked up inside?"
Shila shook her head and said, "The previous spies said that they found a girl who looked like a saint, but I never saw them bring that girl back. ”
Lu Xiaoyuan said strangely: "Haven't you seen that fake saint?"
"yes," said Schilla. Generally speaking, after the presiding officer of the sacred ceremony chooses the holy maiden, he will entertain her with good food and drink, so that she can enjoy the blessings in the remaining short days. Even if the impostor was caught, the Great Elder would not imprison her. ”
The more Lu Xiaoyuan listened, the more shocked he became, and said, "What do you mean? Why is it a short period of time?"
Si Xila said: "Do you know what the holy scriptures of sacrifice to heaven are? It is to burn the holy woman alive and sacrifice it to the heroic spirit of Emperor Shennong, so as to seek the blessing of Emperor Shennong." Otherwise, why did the original saint run away? Although this is a very glorious thing, for the saint herself, it is a tragedy from heaven, and there are many rumors that the girl who was chosen to be the saint committed suicide by jumping off a cliff in advance in order to avoid the suffering of fire, or pretending to be crazy and stupid, and even deliberately lost her virginity. ”
Lu Xiaoyuan's heart was cold when he heard this, and he said in his heart: "I don't know where Miss Xueyin is, her situation at the moment is really dangerous, if I don't step up my actions, it will be terrible." "But at the moment, there is no clue at all, just empty anxiety.
The two sneaked into the ancestral ancestral hall, and Lu Xiaoyuan lifted the movable floor tiles, revealing the hole. Sila was taken aback and said, "When did there be such a secret passage in my clan?"
Jumping into the tunnel, I saw that Qianqian was still copying the pages. She only knew Chinese, and the paper was full of winding cold and barren characters, and she copied them slowly like a ghost drawing, of course, very slowly.
Lu Xiaoyuan said to Qianqian: "This sister's name is Si Xila, she will go back with us." ”
Qianqian had seen her at the Shennong celebration and beckoned to her, "Sister Sila, hello, my name is Qianqian. ”
The three of them returned along the tunnel, and Lu Xiaoyuan told Si Xila about the two corpses found in the tunnel, and Si Xi La was going to take a look at the corpses.
Lu Xiaoyuan brought her to the corpse, and when Schilla saw it, she couldn't help but exclaim, Lu Xiaoyuan said strangely: "What's wrong?" she didn't speak, she looked at the two corpses like a demon for a long time before she said: "These two corpses, one is the old patriarch, and the other is the old patriarch's concubine Wei Tuan." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan was taken aback. The reason why the Shennong clan is divided is because the life and death of the old patriarch and his whereabouts are unknown, since the body of the old patriarch has been found, of course, it is necessary to find out who killed the old patriarch, and then announce the results to the public.
Si Shira had the same idea as him, she pointed to a puddle of water on the ground, and said to Lu Xiaoyuan: "You take the fire and roast here." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan's qi walked through the meridians of the Yin Heart Meridian, and the palm of his hand emitted fire spirit true qi, and under the baking of true qi, the water traces evaporated, and a few lines of small characters appeared on the ground. This is a common method used by the Shennong clan, and Sila is no stranger to it.
When Lu Xiaoyuan read that paragraph, although he didn't know a little bit about it, he also vaguely knew the general idea of the matter: it turned out that a few months ago, the old patriarch accidentally discovered that the concubine Wei Tuan and the great elder Sharpen were having an affair in the tunnel of the ancestral ancestral hall, and pursued them all the way, but unexpectedly the tunnel was designed by Sharplon, and he was attacked by Sharplun and died here.
When he finished reading, he said to Scueira, "Well, I'll just say that Sharplun is lying to you, and that he killed the old patriarch." I will go out and tell the people what is going on here, and expose the plot of the old thief of Sharpron. ”
Si Xila said: "No, the Great Elder's martial arts and poison skills are very low, even if he secretly attacks, he will not be the opponent of the old patriarch, how can it be the old patriarch he killed?"
Lu Xiaoyuan looked at it and saw that the flesh and skin on the old patriarch's waist were rotting, revealing a skeleton, and there was a hole in the skeleton. Lu Xiaoyuan took a closer look, one end of the breach was cut by a sharp blade, and the other end was a sawtooth open, and he said to himself: "This kind of sawtooth knife is very common in the cold wilderness, so what's the matter?"
Si Shira said: "The old patriarch is not an ordinary person, there are not many people who can stab the old patriarch in the waist with a knife and penetrate the knife a few inches. ”
Lu Xiaoyuan suddenly thought of Baal's ice-toothed white tiger blade, and said, "You mean, the murderer is likely to be Baal?"
Si Shira said: "The time of this knife wound is even earlier, of course, the knife maker injured the old patriarch first, and the old patriarch's combat power was greatly reduced, and he was killed by the great elder." ”
Lu Xiaoyuan saw that the bones on the surface of the old patriarch's chest were fine, but the inner bones were all broken, and suddenly thought of the Shennong celebration, Bar slapped his palm on the table, the table was fine, and the table legs were shattered.
He then thought about the genealogy on the ancestral ancestral hall, thinking that Baal seemed to be rude and reckless, but in fact he was ambitious, and the city was extremely deep, if he hadn't stumbled upon this tunnel and discovered his conspiracy, he was afraid that he, Zhang Heng and everyone in the Ice Castle would be used by him.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Shila asked, "Now, are we going to help Elder Baal or help the Grand Elder?"
Lu Xiaoyuan was in a dilemma, although Sharplun was insidious and cunning, and Baal was not a good type, so he didn't know which side to help, so he said: "Let's go back to the ice castle first, let's take a step at a time." ”
The three of them drilled out of the hole when they came, pushed the stone to block the hole, and just walked a few steps, the sound of the golden blade breaking the wind sounded, Lu Xiaoyuan rolled on the spot, avoided it, and all he heard was the sound of shouting and killing, and when he looked around, the two sides were fighting, it turned out that the ice castle and Sharprun were fighting again, and the position of Lu Xiaoyuan and the three of them was the most fierce firepower.
