Chapter 268: The Ghost Valley is waiting for me
I saw that the ground in front of me was full of layers of white cocoons, including silvery-white, milky-white, snow-white, off-white, and pure white...... And so on and so forth, the colors and brightness are not the same. In addition, in a sea of white, there are cocoons of other colors such as pale gold, pale cyan, and lilac, but the number is extremely rare, and it is difficult to find them unless you pay close attention to them.
Zhao Xuan was surprised: How could there be so many insect cocoons in this extremely deep underground world? Looking inside for a moment, he didn't feel the aura of danger, turned around and beckoned to Li Shu, and said, "It's okay, come here." Then leaned over and picked up a cocoon and put it in his hand to look at it.
Silky and moderately soft to the touch.
I don't know what kind of insect is in this cocoon, Zhao Xuan has touched the moth cocoon, silkworm cocoon, and butterfly cocoon, but the one in his hand gives him the most different feeling.
It is not as smooth as silk, but it is not astringent, but has a cotton-like softness, soft and soft to the touch, delicate and warm, just like the little hands of a big girl.
Zhao Xuan pulled it casually, but he didn't move, obviously full of toughness. He gradually increased his strength, and even used eight points of strength for ten points, but he still couldn't tear off the cocoon, but instead slipped his hand, he couldn't help but be even more surprised.
At this moment, Li Shu walked up to him, saw the things in his hands and on the ground, and couldn't help but wonder: "Could these be golden silkworm cocoons?"
Zhao Xuan suddenly stopped the movement in his hand, turned his head and asked, "Do you recognize this thing?"
Li Shu hurriedly shook her head: "I'm just guessing...... Didn't we guess that the stone wall had been eaten by something? As far as I know, there is a kind of 'golden silkworm' in this world, which feeds exclusively on metal. The color of the cocoon, and the color of the cocoon. It will change depending on the color of the metal being eaten. Isn't the metal we see along the way mostly white? And the silk cocoons here. It's mostly white, so I think it's supposed to be a golden silkworm. ”
"Oh......" Zhao Xuan nodded thoughtfully, but asked again: "Don't golden silkworms need to turn into butterflies and moths?" Look at this place...... fingers circled the almost completely closed stone cave: "How can they fly out when they turn into moths here?"
Silkworms can eat gold, and moths can too?
"This ...... It is said that the golden silkworm cannot fly......" Li Shu said weakly.
Zhao Xuan: "......"
Anyway, there is no doubt that the pile of things in front of you is indeed silkworms, and the only question is whether it is a golden silkworm. And Zhao Xuan then asked Li Shu to try it with a sword, and even cut even half of the silk thread on the silk cocoon, without even thinking about it. With a direct wave of his hand, he put the silk cocoon full of stone caves into the Xuanzhu space.
As soon as this layer of silk cocoons was gone, the ground of the stone cave suddenly dropped by more than half a zhang, which shows that there are many silk cocoons here.
However, just after the silk cocoon was swept away by Zhao Xuan, Li Shu suddenly let out an exclamation, and the farthest dragon ball light in front of his finger barely shone everywhere, and shouted, "What is that?"
I saw that at the innermost end of the stone cave, a dry figure was sitting there leaning against the stone wall, its face was already covered with skin and bones, hideous and terrifying. Apparently has been dead for a long time.
Zhao Xuan was not surprised, because he had already been surprised: when he was collecting the silk cocoon before. He had to wrap the silk cocoon with the Yuan Shen in order to receive the Xuanzhu space. At that time, he was aware of the corpse, so he was able to take away the silk cocoon and leave the corpse alone.
comforted Li Shu, don't be afraid, Zhao Xuan held the dragon ball in his hand and slowly approached the corpse.
Li Shu followed closely behind Zhao Xuan, and when she got closer, she saw that the corpse had become a dry corpse, but the brocade robe on her body was not decayed, and even under the light of the dragon balls, it was radiant, obviously a treasure.
On the ground in front of the corpse was densely written a large number of small letters, but it was written:
"I am the son of Xiaoyao, the one hundred and eighth generation descendant of the Xiaoyao faction, because of the sword competition with the head of the Luofu faction 'Li Wushuang', I did not fall into the dragon abyss, and I was lucky not to die, and I found this place by chance. And in the 'Ghost Valley' behind me, I found the 'Ghost Valley Lord'......"
Guigu Guigu Lord Order?
When Li Shu saw this, she wondered in her heart, how could Guigu be here? Or was it behind him? How could it be! Behind him was obviously a stone wall...... Wrong!
Suddenly, Li Shu faintly saw a deep corner of the hole from behind the wide clothes of the dry corpse, and couldn't help but say: Could it be that his so-called "ghost valley" is actually a hole?
lowered his head and looked at the handwriting again, but saw that he wrote later: "The one who ...... 'Guigu' was originally the residence of the master of the Wensheng Martial God 'Guiguzi' before his death. And the 'ghost valley' behind me is not the same as this 'ghost valley'. The 'Ghost Valley' behind me is a secret realm created by Guiguzi according to the 'Ghost Valley', although I don't know why it appears here, but I want to be inseparable from the order of the Lord of Guigu. ”
Li Shu saw this not only suddenly: the secret realm is a small world formed by Wendao monks or poems, or paintings, and it seems that the "ghost valley" behind the dry corpse should be the "ghost valley secret realm" of Guiguzi.
She looked down and saw that she continued to write: "...... After many days of research, as long as I can refine the Lord Order of the Ghost Valley, I can become the master of the 'Ghost Valley Secret Realm'. I thought that since the predecessors of Guiguzi had cultivated both civil and military, the Guigu Lord Order must also be refined with real power and Yuan force. And the Guigu Lord's order is indeed one side of the yin, one side of the yang, one side of the white, one side of the black, I thought that I should guess right, but I didn't expect ......" to write here with a sharp stroke, another paragraph, and the handwriting is slightly messy, it seems that the mood is very agitated when writing.
Didn't think of anything?
Li Shu was also puzzled in her heart, and hurriedly read the second paragraph, only to see that it was written: "It turns out that the Lord of the Ghost Valley has ordered that it must not be refined with any power of literature and martial arts. It's ridiculous to say that Guiguzi is both civil and military, and even the world has rumored that he has become a sacred body, but the Guigu Lord Order he left behind can't stand any true and yuan power. Although I consider myself well-read, I have never learned witchcraft and demonic power, and I also believe that Guiguzi will never give the lord of Guigu to the two lich clans. It's just that in this way, if you want to refine the Guigu Lord's Order, you need to cultivate nothing? But if you haven't cultivated, how can you refine the Ghost Valley's Lord's Order? There are many doubts in this, and I have studied it for many days. So I made two guesses: one of them. The Lord of the Ghost Valley may need someone to create a cultivation force that is not different from the civil and military forces in order to refine it; Perhaps in the Guigu Lord's Order, there is a special inheritance of the Ghost Valley, so if you want to get the Ghost Valley's Lord's Decree and recognize the Lord, you need someone who does not have any cultivation foundation. The first of these two speculations is too difficult, not to mention that in the world, even hundreds of millions of years later, no one may be able to understand, so I prefer the second one...... Most likely. Guiguzi fused civil and military affairs and created another cultivation method by himself, wanting to teach it to those who were destined. ”
"However, although it is easy to speculate, how can I forget that I have studied civil and military affairs all my life? After years of wasted work, I still cannot abolish the practice of civil and military affairs, so I have no choice but to stay here for the rest of my life. ”
"I don't know how many years have passed in the cave, and I don't know how long it has been, and finally the cultivation has been exhausted. The body is empty, and he knows that his death is imminent. He left the Guigu Master Command in the Guigu behind him, and he wanted to pass through this tunnel and return to the Fallen Dragon Abyss to add a new corpse to the pile of white bones. ”
"But when I got here, I was suddenly besieged by the golden silkworm. Originally, when I came in, although there were also golden silkworms here, there were very few of them, and my cultivation was at its peak at that time, so there was no need to be afraid at all. But when I came out again, the true yuan dried up and the body was empty, but fortunately, I got a strange technique in my early years, which could make the silkworms spin silk and form cocoons, and luckily sealed the room full of golden silkworms. But after casting the spell, it was no longer difficult for me to travel, so I had to block the entrance to this ghost valley, and try to leave a few words for future generations. ”
"I don't know who you are, but I guess that those who can fall into the dragon abyss and not die must be extraordinary in their cultivation. I hope that you will listen to me, and if you are sure that you can forget everything you have learned, you will go forward again, and if you can't, retreat as soon as possible, and find another way out, so that you will not be trapped in this place like me. ”
"In addition, there is one more thing to ask for, I hope you must not refuse: I am a free faction, passed down from generation to generation, and in my generation, I am ashamed of the ancestor, and I actually brought the flow of inheritance in the sect to this place, resulting in no one from the free sect since me. I don't know how many years have passed, but I implore someone to come, if you can go out, please take away the inheritance of my free sect and pass it on to someone who is destined to do so. ”
"If you can agree, all the things in my ring space will be given to you, I just hope that if you can't get out of the valley, and then send ......the ring back, don't let the latecomers see this and don't know why;
"At this point, the inheritance of our faction is the 'free jade pendant' on my waist, and you can take it at will. ”
The book ends abruptly here.
Li Shu looked at the waist of the dry corpse, and sure enough, a light cyan and colorful jade pendant hung on the waist of the dry corpse, with the two big characters of "Xiaoyao" on the ancient and simple, and the side was full of cloud patterns, faintly exuding a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, which reflected the brocade robe of the dry corpse.
Turning her head to look at the empty stone cave, she couldn't help but make a guess in her heart: I am afraid that this "Xiaoyaozi" predecessor has lived here for hundreds of years, and when he first came, there was only one tunnel for people to pass through to the "Ghost Valley". But because this tunnel is opened in the mine, it has attracted extremely rare golden silkworms to come here, and gradually derived, more and more. It wasn't until "Xiaoyaozi" came out of the "Ghost Valley" again that the number of golden silkworms was already in the thousands, and they "gnawed" here, and then Xiaoyaozi used a secret method to lead them to spin silk and cocoon themselves, and "sealed" themselves by themselves.
At this moment, Zhao Xuan on the side also finished reading the message of "Xiaoyaozi", turned his head and asked: "If I remember correctly, my second brother said before that the previous generation of Xiaoyaozi was still alive five thousand years ago?"
Li Shu was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Second Prince Zhao did say so, could it be that this person is?"
Zhao Xuan shook his head: "Yes or no, I don't know, after all, we don't know anything about the rivers and lakes." However, for the sake of today, I still have to take a look at the so-called 'Ghost Valley' and the 'Ghost Valley Lord', maybe it can really get you and me out of trouble. ”
Li Shu suddenly came back to her senses and said happily: "Isn't the mana cultivated by the Jindan Dao that Master passed on to me another kind of power in addition to literature, martial arts, witches, and demons......?
Zhao Xuan still shook his head and said: "Compared with the first one, the teacher still thinks that the second situation is the most likely. But it's man-made, since you're here, wouldn't it be in vain if you don't go in and have a look?" After speaking, he personally untied the ring and jade pendant from the "Xiaoyaozi", and asked Li Shu to dig a pit in the ground. (To be continued......)
