Chapter 1737 Circular Martial Arts Arena
Lifting your feet over the collapsed courtyard wall, and walking further inside, you will find a martial arts arena.
A sect usually has several martial arts performance venues, especially for large sects. The areas and functions of different martial arts performance venues are also slightly different.
For example, in Tianjue Palace, the largest martial arts arena is for newcomers to correct their postures.
The martial arts arena is usually laid with stone slabs to prevent dust from flying into the air. Basically, for any sect with some background, the martial arts arena will be a little uneven, which is caused by years of practicing.
When everyone entered this flat land, they also found depressions on the floor that looked like footprints. These were usually left by disciples squatting here for many years.
Ning Xian'er was relatively experienced in this area. She judged the marks on several stone slabs and concluded that this sect had probably existed for about three to four hundred years, and it was also a sect with a rich history.
Judging from the size of the martial arts arena, this sect probably has thousands of people at its peak.
Why didn't such a big sect leave any historical records?
This is normal. Even if Tianjue Palace, which is currently at its peak, is destroyed now, no one will know about it for thousands of years.
What's more, this sect is still in a secret realm. It is extremely hidden and there are no rumors in the world.
The martial arts field was also full of corpses and scattered weapons. This was once one of the battlefields, and there were more corpses than there were at the door.
Because there are stone slabs underneath, thick vegetation cannot grow here, and the most is moss. So at a glance, there are undulating moss everywhere, and there are corpses underneath.
"It stands to reason that with so many people dead and in a relatively closed environment, ghosts will definitely be born."
It looks like this is an outdoor place, but in fact this place is closed, just like Taoyuan Valley. You can't fly out simply by flying high.
Last time, the Liu family threw corpses into Taoyuan Valley in an attempt to corrupt Taoyuan Valley. Not to mention whether their corruption could succeed, if they were left alone, all kinds of ghosts would soon appear in Taoyuan Valley.
And no one has been here for at least a thousand years, and so many people have died. It is not surprising that the accumulation of resentment and negative energy has led to the emergence of several thousand-year-old demons who are particularly capable of fighting.
Li Chengqi said something that made Yang Yiyi a little scared, and then he changed his tone:
"But no, these are just ordinary corpses. Have you ever felt unusually cold, suddenly shivered or something?"
Everyone said no, the temperature was still very humid and suitable.
"The level of negative energy is not high. It may be that the valley itself has a purifying effect, or it may be purified by some kind of treasure."
When Yang Yiyi heard that there was a treasure, she remembered the reason why she came here.
"Speaking of it, it doesn't look like there is any treasure here."
Even Yang Yiyi realized that there were ruins everywhere and there were no treasures anywhere.
"Maybe we're looking in the wrong place?"
Qin Yan thought:
"Perhaps there is more than one similar place in Erlang Mountain. The one we entered is Poyun Cave, and there may be other caves."
The only information everyone has about the location of the treasure is the keyword "Boyun Cave in Erlang Mountain", and it was dug out from the person of the branch leader of Anxiang Hall.
There was obviously a group of people who came in before Yang Yiyi and the others in Erlang Mountain, but their whereabouts were not found along the way. Maybe they didn't find the entrance to Poyun Cave, or maybe they went somewhere else.
Thinking of this, Yang Yiyi was a little anxious, always worried that the baby would be taken away by bad guys first.
"Don't worry, the prerequisite for treasure hunting is that you must have a correct mentality, otherwise you may fall into a trap."
Li Chengqi has never engaged in treasure hunting, but he has played RPG games and has guided Aldai and others on treasure hunting many times. It is useless to be anxious at this time, but will miss key information. "Walking further inside, this sect is quite big. There might be something useful behind it."
Regardless of whether you are looking in the wrong place, you must explore this place first to avoid missing anything.
Everyone passed through the martial arts arena, and beyond was the main hall.
The main hall of a sect may enshrine the ancestor of the sect, but it is usually only used during important events and will not be opened to the public easily.
But there is no need to mention this rule now, since the main hall has collapsed anyway.
There were almost no walls left standing, and the main hall was in complete ruins.
Everyone needs to be careful when walking through here. There are too many gaps. Who knows if there are poisonous insects, poisonous snakes and the like hidden underneath.
After passing through the main hall, it is usually the living area of this sect. There are dormitories, wing rooms, dining halls, dining rooms, etc., and there are also several small martial arts arenas. The original stone locks and other things left nearby can still be seen. look.
Similarly, many corpses can be found in these places, but it is no longer possible to tell which ones are members of the sect and which ones are intruders.
It seems that the fighting here was very brutal, not only the whole family was wiped out, but also everyone was killed.
The place that Li Chengqi wanted to find the most was actually the warehouse of this sect. There might be some treasures that could be found in places like the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
But as I said before, this place was obviously captured. Wouldn't the people who captured it turn all the warehouses and other places upside down?
Facts have proved that there is no need to look forward to it. After walking in for more than half an hour, they did find a place that was suspected to be a warehouse or a Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. However, apart from the fact that these places themselves had collapsed, Li Chengqi used the ALT key to highlight them and found nothing. There was no loot that could be looted, and no keyhole was found to use the golden hairpin.
Going further back, you will reach the innermost part of the valley, close to the mountain wall.
Passing through the ruins, you can see a circular place, which is probably a martial arts arena. Not far away, you can see a clear spring flowing down from the mountain wall, forming a deep pool and a stream.
"There is a door over there, and there should be a stone room for retreat in the back mountain."
Qin Yan used a flashlight to shine a light on the stone door that was hanging on the mountain wall and made a rough judgment.
Li Chengqi no longer expected anything else to be hidden here, so he pressed the ALT key to take a look.
Seeing this, he quickly said:
"Something's wrong, there are more corpses around here again."
The places with the most corpses were the gate and the martial arts arena where they were first encountered. After passing the main hall, corpses appeared scattered here and there, not too many.
This is probably because people from the sect intercepted the attackers at the martial arts arena, and the two sides started a fierce battle. When they reached the back of the main hall, the disciples on the sect's side obviously couldn't hold on anymore, and the intensity of the battle also dropped a lot, so the corpses behind the main hall Relatively few.
But here, the corpses began to increase again, and it was obvious that something had turned these people into corpses.
Yang Yiyi couldn't see clearly from that side, but Li Chengqi's side could not only be highlighted, but from a bird's-eye view from above, he could clearly see that most of these corpses were radiating. With the circular martial arts field in front of the stone wall, he could see clearly. Make a circle for the center.
It felt like a special bomb exploded, killing everyone nearby in an instant, leaving such a trace.
If someone didn't do it on purpose, it would be very weird.
