Chapter 2596: The cave space

If the cave is not opened on the mountain wall, is it possible that it is still hidden underground?

With such doubts in mind, Ji Xiaoyan followed the leader of the undead tribe and followed him around the mountain wall for more than ten meters before stopping under a big tree.

"Is there a tree hole in this?" Looking at the trunk of the big tree that at least three or four people could hug, Ji Xiaoyan's imagination suddenly came to mind, and he asked the leader of the Undead Clan with a surprised look on his face. road.

"Huh? No, no!" The leader of the Undead Clan was stunned for a moment, but immediately shook his head, then pointed to a piece of grass under the big tree, and said to Ji Xiaoyan: "The cave's Where is the entrance?”

"Underground?" Ji Xiaoyan blinked and asked the leader of the undead clan. After watching him nod, he was a little confused: "Since the entrance of the cave is here, why did the aborigine just put his hand into the vines? Is there some kind of switch there? "

"Yes!" The leader of the undead clan nodded immediately, looking like he was praising Ji Xiaoyan, and said to her: "There are some things on the mountain walls. It was too hard. When they first dug it, the ancestors thought it was a bit troublesome and a waste of time, so they simply opened the hole on the ground. Later, they were worried that it would be easily discovered, so they added a camouflage on the ground, and then added Afraid of finding the disguised entrance, I planted another tree here!"

"Then what does this have to do with the agency?" Ji Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment and looked at the leader of the undead clan with some embarrassment. asked.

"Mechanism? Haha!" The leader of the undead clan suddenly laughed and said to Ji Xiaoyan: "This place has accumulated countless efforts of our ancestors. If we don't build some mechanism or something like that, what if If someone could accidentally step on the entrance and get in, wouldn't it be too easy for something to happen? Of course, it wouldn't be a problem. Except for the ancestors who climbed up on us, the aborigines of the undead clan stepped on them without knowing it. So, this mechanism has a protective function and also isolates danger!"

Ji Xiaoyan seemed to understand. He groaned and glanced in the direction of the undead aboriginal control agency, but he couldn't help but twitch his lips. She can understand the setting of this mechanism, but she just can't understand why the switch of this mechanism is set so far

The leader of the undead tribe seemed to notice Ji Xiaoyan's doubts, but he did not immediately explain anything to her. Instead, he motioned to the undead tribe aboriginals on the side to start opening the cave entrance, and then said to Ji Xiaoyan: "Mr. Ji City Master , let’s go into the cave and have a look!”

Ji Xiaoyan clicked. He turned his head and watched as the two undead aborigines squatted on the ground, groped around in the grass, and then opened up a large circular piece of land. A dark board was suddenly revealed under the land. The board didn't have any special appearance, it just had a few concave holes on it.

The two undead aborigines closed two of the concave holes with their hands and lifted the dark board, revealing a dark hole underneath. The circular hole comes from.

“Let’s go, City Lord Ji!” The leader of the Undead Tribe said to Ji Xiaoyan with a smile, and then took the lead to walk down to the entrance of the cave.

Ji Xiaoyan took a step forward and saw the steps going down next to the entrance of the cave.

"Is there a fire down there?" Ji Xiaoyan asked the leader of the undead clan as he walked down the cave.

"Yes, yes, Lord Ji, don't worry!" The leader of the undead clan nodded immediately. After his vision completely turned black, he took out a bead from his arms, He used the weak fluorescence emitted by the bead to illuminate the path ahead. After it landed on the flat ground, he shouted to Ji Xiaoyan behind him: "Master Ji, City Lord" Wait a minute, I'll light the torch."

Ji Xiaoyan nodded, stood aside, and waited for everyone behind him to stand before he found Frisman's position. He looked at him and asked in a low voice: "You have never been to this place, have you!"

"That's for sure!" Frisman suddenly turned over Rolling his eyes, thinking that Ji Xiaoyan couldn't see at this moment, he could only curl his lips and say: "There are so many things that I don't know about in this undead clan! It's impossible for our clan leader to take me around without any trouble! You are not I don’t know, I’m actually an outsider in this undead tribe!”

There was a certain tone in Frisman’s tone. Hearing the resentment, Ji Xiaoyan couldn't help but look at him pitifully: "I think there should be a lot of aborigines like you in this undead tribe! Think about it, these places usually have It’s not very useful. There are special people guarding it. It’s impossible for all the undead aborigines to visit, right?”

Friesman curled his lips and said nothing.

"Don't think too much! At least you have seen them now, right? This is much better than the other undead aborigines, isn't it?" Ji Xiaoyan thought for a while, and immediately faced Frith Man smiled and said, "In the future, our alliance between Qingcheng and the undead tribe will be The belt will eventually fall on you! So, you will definitely see more things from the undead tribe in the future."

"What if you see more?" Frisman said with some anger, "I just hanged up an undead tribe member." It's just a resident status!"

"Why are you so frustrated! Cheer up!" When Ji Xiaoyan heard what Frisman said, he couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, "Slowly. Come on! Don’t even think about how long it’s been since you returned to the Undead Clan! You have to give them time to accept you, right?"

Friesman was silent for a while, then he said with some complaint: "Didn't our patriarch go to light the torch for so long? Are they all gone? ”

When Ji Xiaoyan heard this, he couldn't help but look towards the darkness ahead. He could only vaguely see a fluorescent light group moving: "The position where the torch is placed seems to be very far away!"

Voice As soon as it fell, countless lights suddenly lit up in the huge black area in front of them. They flickered one by one, dispersing all the boundless black and illuminating all the scenery in front of Ji Xiaoyan and the others.

“Lord Ji City Lord!” The leader of the Undead Clan stood not far in front and shouted to Ji Xiaoyan with a smile on his face. Then he spread his hands and gestured towards the surroundings. She asked: "How is it? Our place is pretty good, isn't it!"

Ji Xiaoyan opened his mouth in surprise and quickly nodded to the leader of the undead tribe.

“Let’s go, the real place is still inside!” The leader of the Undead Clan immediately smiled happily at Ji Xiaoyan, and then pointed behind him, “We haven’t used this place in many years. Oh, it took me a long time to find this fire. Haha! ”

Ji Xiaoyan could only laugh twice, then turned to look at Frisman. Speaking of this so-called cave, the space is probably very large. The position where Ji Xiaoyan and the others came down from the cave entrance was a huge circular space. Facing the direction of Ji Xiaoyan and the others, there was an arc-shaped stone staircase leading upwards.

This space is surrounded by mountain walls. There are many small holes cut into the mountain walls. There are fist-sized torches placed in the holes. Above the torches, There is a small gap, and something may be dripping from it. According to the leader of the undead clan, what dripped down was lamp oil. There was a passage drilled into the small hole, and specially placed bamboo tubes were used to send the lamp oil down bit by bit from a high place.

The leader of the Undead Clan looked at Ji Xiaoyan proudly, and led her up the stone steps: "These are all done by the ancestors, and only the ancestors have considered it so carefully. If it were us, we don’t know how many wrongdoings we have to go through to get to where we are now!”

Ji Xiaoyan suddenly smiled, not understanding that the leader of the undead tribe was showing off, and she naturally wanted to agree with it! Holding it on the ground, right?

There are many stone steps, and as you go up step by step, you can only see a dome.

“The things on the dome are all good things!” The leader of the Undead Tribe said with a smile to Ji Xiaoyan as he climbed the stairs.

"What is that?" Ji Xiaoyan asked with interest.

“The soul of our undead tribe!” The leader of the undead tribe looked proud, and the smile on his face also faded. He said to Ji Xiaoyan with great seriousness: “The most powerful among our undead tribe. After the ancestors died, they could condense such soul stones and then put them in These soul stones here can create some magic-like power to keep everything placed in this cave as it was when Tathagata came."

"The same as when Tathagata came?" Ji Xiaoyan looked at it with some doubts. The leader of the undead tribe, does this mean that he is not corrupt?

"Well, even if we put a perishable object under these soul stones, even if it takes ten or a hundred years, it will not change!" The leader of the undead clan thought for a while and explained to Ji Xiaoyan: "So , if you want to preserve the corpses of those mages, it would be best to put them here! No matter how long you want to keep them, City Lord Ji, we still have a lot of space here, just for the mages. body, There is no problem at all!"

Ji Xiaoyan nodded, but asked the leader of the undead tribe with some curiosity: "Can these soul stones only keep things from rotting?"
< br>Suddenly asked by Ji Xiaoyan, the leader of the Undead Tribe was at a loss for an answer, "Well, our Undead Tribe usually only uses this ability. What does City Lord Ji want to do? What if? If there is no impact, you can try it!"

"No, no, no! No need!" Ji Xiaoyan smiled and waved to the leader of the undead clan, and then said: "I It’s just curiosity! Well, Lord Patriarch, you said that these soul stones can keep everything that comes in as it was when it came in. I’m just curious about this!”

“What do you want to try, Master Ji? How about giving it a try?" The leader of the undead tribe frowned and said to Ji Xiaoyan with some encouragement: "Speaking of which, we rarely use this place if we find corpses! Things like that are all placed directly on the short hill. Basically, there is nothing that needs to be stored here, so I haven’t studied the functions of these soul stones too much!”

Ji Xiaoyan nodded with some belief. Otherwise, think about it, how did those low hills pile up so high?

Shuddering for a moment, Ji Xiaoyan quickly smiled at the leader of the undead clan: "At that moment, I have to try it out after I go up, right?"

"Yes. ! There is a big platform above this step!" The leader of the undead clan nodded quickly and pointed towards the top of his head. He pointed, and then said: "Climb up to the top, and you have climbed half way up the mountain."

Ji Xiaoyan nodded, smiled and continued to climb up the steps. He was a little lucky to have climbed up in this game. Going up so many stairs consumes a lot of energy, so the weakness in the legs is not as serious as it is in reality.

Finally I climbed the last step, and what I could see was just as the leader of the undead clan said, it was a huge space and platform.

However, there is a large circular platform in the middle of the platform, and a square tripod is placed on it. There are several small beads emitting green light on the tripod, and a light green beam of light falls from the top. Floating in the middle.

The light pillar fell from the dome.

"Those are the light of the soul stone!" The leader of the undead tribe looked at the beam of light piously and said to Ji Xiaoyan: "Those floating beads are the soul stone. They are separated by a period of time It will fall down, and then float up, and it will remain in this state."

Ji Xiaoyan said oh, and then quickly looked around.

This space is very large, but it is indeed clearly illuminated by the light of the soul stone.

There are still mountain walls all around, but there are no torches. All lighting relies on the light of those soul stones. On the mountain wall, many protruding stone platforms were cut out in an orderly manner. Some of them were empty, while others had things placed on them.

“Those are the bones of some of our ancestors of the Undead Tribe!” The leader of the Undead Tribe followed Ji Xiaoyan’s gaze and immediately introduced to her: “Lord Ji City Master also knows that our Undead Tribe Just playing with corpses . Sometimes, the aboriginal people of their own clan will be buried after they die. As a sign of respect to the clansmen, if it is really needed, the bones of our undead clansmen can also be used. Count us It is a responsibility of the undead tribe! However, the bones of some respected ancestors cannot be used for this kind of play, so we need to find a place for them to put them where they will not be disturbed after their death. So ,most The ancestors finally chose this place!"

Ji Xiaoyan nodded and smiled at the leader of the Undead Clan: "It seems that you, the ancestors of the Undead Clan, are very thoughtful!"

Isn’t it? If you want your bones to be protected from being used by younger generations after your death, why don't those smarter ancestors of the undead tribe rack their brains to think of ways to preserve their bones? Therefore, Ji Xiaoyan dares to bet that the ancestors of the Undead clan who can let the Undead clan put their bones here must all be in power.

What do you mean by being highly virtuous and respected? Ji Xiaoyan thinks these are all fake!
