In the picture scroll.
First there is a person with giant pupils and strange eyes behind his back.
In full view of everyone, the stone box was opened.
A few people came to watch.
But something strange happened suddenly. The man who was defined as a demon by the ancestors suddenly tore off his mask and revealed his true face. He killed the remaining four people and took away the secret hidden in the stone box. .
"This..."
"How could this happen?"
"According to these prophecies, not only is there a demon hidden among us, but everyone will eventually die in his hands?"< br>
"It's impossible... Let's not say whether the prophecy is correct. The person who opened the stone box has huge pupils on his head, which is not true."
After seeing the content on the stone painting clearly, several people's faces were full of expressions. It's incredible.
After so many life-and-death crises, how could he commit murder just for a secret?
Even if it was Chen Yulou, his brows were also furrowed. He could barely explain the murals on the outside of the stone box, but how should we explain them now?
It’s impossible. He was blinded for a moment and went on a killing spree?
After all, except him.
Among the five, even the strongest Partridge Whistle would never be able to instantly kill the remaining few.
"Could it be a rift?"
"The so-called prophecy is simply to lead us into a dead end, to suspect each other and eventually coax us, or to cover up the truth?"
How many times have we met? The man's expression was full of surprise.
Chen Yulou pondered for a moment and suddenly said.
If I remember correctly, the scene that several people in the original work saw when they entered this place was completely different from what they saw now.
So, even he didn't know what went wrong.
It can only be scrutinized based on experience.
"It's not impossible..."
Hearing this, the eyes of those who were deeply hesitant lit up.
This statement was unexpected by them.
Especially when they thought about the corpse-scented konjac before, although they were only exposed to it for a moment, it brought them countless troubles.
Is there a possibility.
Those weird illusions and sorcery were not caused by a single corpse flower. Did this stone box also release some kind of power invisibly?
This is how human thinking works.
Once opened, it will diverge infinitely.
Rather than falling into a dead end.
"Brother Chen...you mean, the First Sage is tempting us?"
Partridge Whistle frowned, obviously unable to accept it.
After finally finding the burial place of his ancestors, now he was told that everything was false. For him, it was even more uncomfortable than killing him.
Although the old foreigner said nothing, the twinkling eyes said a lot.
"Brother Dao, please don't get excited, Chen just mentioned a possibility."
"This square stone box... isolates spiritual consciousness, I'm afraid it is not a mortal thing."
Chen Yulou shook his head .
How could he not understand the thoughts of two people.
But at this moment, the consciousness is shrouded like rain, unable to penetrate at all, just like an invisible barrier separating the inside and outside.
Since refining the consciousness.
He only encountered this situation twice in total.
The first time was in the land of Long Moye in the back mountain of Maluzhai. The moment the big ghost came, he tried to spy on him, but he found that the seemingly ordinary cloud of mist had something unimaginable. ability.
If you don’t withdraw your spiritual consciousness in time, you can hide yourself.
Almost exposed.
The second time was some time ago in Xiye Ancient City, the jade eye in the golden plate of the altar.
Because it is contaminated with a trace of the power of the snake god, the spiritual consciousness cannot see through it at all.
Now...
It’s the third time.
It looks gray and nothing special.
But as luck would have it, as soon as his spiritual consciousness touched the surface of the stone box, it was like rain falling on an umbrella.
"What does Brother Chen mean?"
Partridge Whistle wanted to explain, but at this moment, his heart was really confused. He pursed his lips and finally chose the most direct one. Way.
When he asked, Kunlun, Yang Fang and the old foreigner all looked over.
“Continue to open the box!”
"Still open?"
These four simple words were like a muffled thunder exploding in the ears of several people.
So far, they have only opened one door and looked at a few stone paintings, which made their minds shaken repeatedly and even made them suspicious.
If we keep driving.
Will you encounter something even more unimaginable?
"Open, open the coffin to make a conclusion."
"At worst, the soldiers will come and cover up the water and earth!"
Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows and glanced at several people.
This stone box is like a Pandora's box. Even he doesn't know what will be released in the end, but if he doesn't open it, the estrangement and suspicion in his heart will always be there.
“Okay!”
"Just listen to Brother Chen."
Partridge Whistle gritted his teeth, and a hint of murderous intent flashed between his eyebrows.
"I'll come."
Before a few people could react, others had already stepped forward again, reached into the depths of the stone box, and opened the door that was no bigger than a hand. pull.
Click——
As before.
With the crisp sound from the machine, the small door opened.
Compared with the curiosity and expectation before, this time only a hint of solemnity could be seen on the faces of several people.
The bodies were as tight as bows, each holding the patient's weapon tightly, eyes fixed on the door.
It feels like facing that giant underground door before.
However...
After the door on the second floor is opened.
In the prophecy, the scene of someone jumping back and killing someone violently did not appear.
But the atmosphere did not relax at all.
On the contrary, the invisible breath made everyone breathless.
It was Chen Yulou who was the first to break the silence. Holding a wind lantern, he walked straight to the outside of the stone box, leaned down, and looked into the depths of the stone box.
"Shopkeeper Chen... what is it?"
Yang Fang tightly grasped the magic whip in his hand, not noticing that his tone was trembling slightly at this moment.
"It's an ancient book..."
Chen Yulou seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashed slightly, then he shook his head and took the book out of the stone box. , and raised his head slightly at a few people.
"Book?"
"How could this happen? It doesn't match up at all."
"Where are the gods and devils that we agreed on?"
Looking at the yellowed book The ancient sheepskin scrolls were old and worn, as if they would fall apart if exerted force. Several people couldn't help but be startled. This was quite different from what they expected.
I thought that being so valued would at least be the most precious treasure of the Zagrama clan.
Or about the gods that appear repeatedly in stone paintings.
But what’s a book?
Not in a hurry to reply to several people's questions, Chen Yulou opened a page and wanted to see what was written in the ancient sheepskin book. Unfortunately...
On the sheepskin scroll Although it is densely written with words.
The handwriting is old and unfamiliar.
It was words he had never seen before.
"Brother Dao, come and take a look. This should be the ancient text of your Zagrama clan."
After confirming that it cannot be recognized.
Chen Yulou simply gave up.
It is not his area of expertise, no matter how hard he looks, he cannot decipher it.
Just like the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book found in King Xian's tomb, he finally went to Kuanglu Mountain to ask Elder Chen to help, and only then did he get the words "Dragon and Snake Sting".
"Okay..."
It is related to the secret past of the clan thousands of years ago.
Partridge Whistle dared not hesitate at all. He immediately put away his distracting thoughts and quickly approached.
Taking the parchment from his hand solemnly.
Then Feng Deng Huo Guang looked down.
After just one glance, his face instantly became extremely excited, "Yes...that's right, it's the ancient text of my Zagrama clan." For thousands of years.
Although Zagrama has been on the road of migration, tribesmen have changed and time has passed, they have always adhered to the last words of their ancestors and tried their best to remain unchanged.
Even if he walks around the world, he is no different from the Han people.
However, the ancient language and writing are the first things that every tribesman needs to do after birth.
So even if I haven’t seen it for many years.
But at this moment, with a glance, the memory that was deeply rooted in the blood and bone marrow suddenly surged up like a tidal wave.
"Clan culture?"
When the old foreigner heard this, he couldn't hold himself back.
Not caring about anything else, he immediately got behind his senior brother and looked at him intently.
In the blink of an eye, the two brothers and sisters were completely absorbed in it. Their expressions changed one after another, including surprise, shock, and even more disbelief.
Seeing this situation, Yang Fang felt itchy in his heart.
Subconsciously, he stood on tiptoes and stepped forward to take a look.
But those ancient writings, in his opinion, were no different from ghost-drawing talismans. He wanted to ask what was recorded on them, but the two brothers and sisters were engrossed in it, almost as if they were in trance.
"Brother Yang Fang, don't be anxious."
"When brother Taoist finished reading, it will be clear to you."
Seeing this scene, Chen Yulou couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
"Oh... yes."
After being exposed, Yang Fang couldn't help but smile.
He has always been impatient, and he really can't learn to be calm and calm even if the mountain collapses in front of him.
However, since it is shopkeeper Chen who is speaking now, no matter how anxious he is, he can only suppress his temper and wait patiently.
Fortunately...
It won’t be long.
It only takes about half a quarter of an hour.
Partridge Whistle finally withdrew his eyes from the parchment scroll.
However, the information obtained from it seemed to be too much and too complicated, so that others did not immediately explain it, but closed their eyes and stretched out their hands to rub the center of their brows vigorously.
"This..."
Seeing this, Yang Fang's expression became even weirder.
I have no idea what happened to make this famous mountain-moving leader fall into this position.
Subconsciously, his eyes turned to the old foreigner, hoping that he would stand up and answer his questions.
But the latter's expression was more complicated than that of his senior brother.
Standing there in a daze, unable to recover from the shock for a long time.
“No, what’s going on?”
“Even if you see a ghost, you still have to be divided into men and women, right?”
Yang Fang couldn't hold it back anymore and murmured in a low voice.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted them a little and subconsciously wanted to make some amends.
But he didn't have time to apologize yet.
The partridge whistle, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened its eyes.
"I saw..."
His voice was hoarse, like a lonely traveler who was desperately short of water and thirsty for a long time.
Hearing this, Chen Yulou's mind moved, "What did you see?"
"The existence under the ghost cave!"
Boom——
It was like a sledgehammer hitting a heavy drum.
At this moment, even Chen Yulou's eyes, as quiet as an ancient well, could not help but stir up a storm.
How come?
The ancient gods are indescribable and cannot be spied upon.
The Zagrama clan did not enter the depths of the ghost cave like the people of the Demon Kingdom. When they saw the skeleton of the ancient god, how could they possibly see what was hidden under the ghost cave?
Looked deeply at Partridge Whistle.
He seemed to want to see something from his skinny face.
"Under the ghost cave?"
"Is it an underground demon?"
Yang Fang was thoughtful.
Although he had refused to believe it even to death, Jingjue Ren was a monster crawling out of the ground.
But after seeing the queen’s snake-like face.
It’s like faith collapsed.
The things I insist on in my heart are also getting shaken little by little.
“Maybe.”
When interrupted by him, Partridge Whistle shook his head.
"According to the words left by the late saint in the book, he saw three scenes before his death."
"First, after his death, his people moved eastward."
"Second , the thing that solves the curse is called Phoenix Guts."
"Third..."
Speaking of this, Partridge Whistle looked ahead blankly. Fortunately, the complexity did not last too long. It took a long time, and soon his hoarse voice slowly sounded again.
"A place of death and silence shrouded in mist, where dead gods hide another world in their eyes."
A place of death and silence?
Dead gods?
Another world?
Chen Yulou repeated it in a low voice. At this moment, he finally knew why the Holy Saint would hide the third prophecy in the stone box instead of passing it on like the first two sentences.
That's because the ancient god he foresaw was too terrifying.
It was so terrifying that even he was helpless and hopeless.
How can you compete with the gods with your mortal body?
Only the descendants of the tribe who find Phoenix Gut, the Muchen Bead, and return to this place can re-enter this tomb and see the true prophecy he left behind.
As for the content in the stone paintings.
Nine falsehoods and one truth.
This is to prevent others from entering this place and destroying their family's plans.
It is very likely that Partridge Whistle suddenly changed his mind after he figured this out.
“So, Brother Dao, are you still going?”
Chen Yulou took a deep breath.
He looked intently at Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner.
He was waiting for an answer.
When these words were asked, although Kunlun and Yang Fang beside them did not understand what they meant, they also clearly noticed that the tone and atmosphere had become tense and solemn.
The two of them subconsciously held their breath and focused their gazes on the three of them.
“Brother Chen is worried that I will be afraid after watching it.”
"So give up?"
Partridge Whistle smiled bitterly.
Immediately he raised his eyes, with only determination in his eyes.
“If you are afraid because you are strong and give up halfway, then... wouldn’t all the ancestors of my clan die in vain?”
“Not all the things I have insisted on in this life will come true. A joke?”
In a calm tone, it seemed like he was asking rhetorically, but actually he was asking himself.
"Even if it is a dead end, Yang will never take a step back!"
"Me too."
The old foreigner seemed to have finally come to his senses and asked Taking a step forward, he held a knife on his back, his eyes equally determined as a rock.
For thousands of years.
How many tribesmen would die for an illusory prophecy.
Then they will only do this.
“Okay!”
Facing the eyes of their two senior brothers, Chen Yulou’s face was full of emotion and admiration.
The words life and death may seem ordinary, but how many people in the world can really see through them?
"Shopkeeper Chen, Leader Yang, what are you talking about?"
"Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen to it."
As soon as the two of them ended the conversation, Yang Fang finally found an opportunity. .
Right now, his face is more confused than before.
Even after hearing what was recorded on the parchment, he still didn't understand why the phoenix guts and the dead place made them so shocked.
"Brother Yang Fang wants to know."
"Chen might as well tell you."
"Under the ghost cave, there is an ancient god...and next, we are going to kill the god ."(End of this chapter)
