Chapter 86 Creepy Ruins
Weird Words!
Carved on the wall!
It is crooked and twisted, revealing a hint of evil. The breath of time has not let it settle, but it has become more and more weird!
Just by looking at it, it seemed to automatically ring in my ears, making my breath short and my scalp numb! !
'Tick-tock'
'Tick-tock'
The underground river flows quietly, and the moist water vapor condenses into water droplets on the rocks above the underground river, and slowly drips down.
At this moment, old man Li Yunshan felt a chill down his spine, and the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped several degrees. The already dark and damp underground river became increasingly cold and cold.
"What is this?"
"Why are there so many weird words?"
After a long time, old man Li Yunshan finally spoke. He was obviously shocked by the words on the wall.
“I don’t know”
“I have never discovered such a weird place”
“And”
An old archaeologist answered, his voice trembling a little. He pointed a flashlight at the walls in all directions, and the incandescent light illuminated the surroundings like daylight.
As expected.
On the surrounding roads, more traces and writings emerged.
“And.”
I walked forward cautiously, but became more and more frightened as I walked.
Because they discovered that in this underground river, the surrounding rocks were all filled with various broken traces.
Countless scratches and carvings are scattered around, and various huge rocks are broken and broken.
Especially those confusing words, all along this road!
The engraved words are all confusing and complicated, and the strokes are extremely messy. It is obvious that the carver was in an extremely mental state when doing all this.
“Can’t tell, really can’t tell? What does this mean?”
Looking at the chaotic and twisted words, everyone felt uncomfortable all over, as if they had come to some unclean place, and the skin on the back of their necks could not stop tightening.
“With so many words, who carved them here?”
“Shouldn’t this be the relics left by the first emperor Ying Zheng when he came to the throne? According to Lao Lu’s original According to historical records, he ordered the construction when he ascended the throne."
"But now."
"Why is this happening here?"
Everyone walked here cautiously, and there was silence in the dark river.
The cold river flowed, and the white flashlight illuminated the entire underground river very clearly.
But even so, walking in this underground river, everyone is still holding a string in their hearts, filled with fear, looking around with wide eyes, as if there is something in the darkness. Wild beasts and fear lurk, ready to pounce on them at any moment and bite them all.
“Continue?”
“Let’s look forward.”
Now, in fact, even old archaeologists like Li Yunshan, who have experienced countless battles and fallen to graves, are a little scared.
This underground river is so weird. What are these words?
Who will carve all this here?
And how did those claw marks like those of wild beasts be left?
Looking at the words on the surrounding walls, an incredible thought poured into the mind of old man Li Yunshan.
"Wait."
He hurriedly came to the scratches on the wall and carefully stretched out his hand to measure the scratches on the claws.
After a moment, old man Li Yunshan's pupils suddenly shrank, only I feel a chill in my back!
Because he discovered that the distance between the claw marks on these walls was about the same width as his palm!
Find five claw marks, put your hand on them, and lightly scratch them. It can almost fit the lines of these claw marks perfectly!
"!!!!!!"
At this moment, not only old man Li Yunshan, but also many remaining old archaeologists were shocked!
I only felt a numbness in my scalp and goosebumps all over my body!
What the hell is this?
Why does it fit so well?
Aren't these the claw marks left by wild beasts?
Why does it fit so perfectly with the human hand? !
Looking at the surrounding caves, everyone trembled with excitement at this moment!
The messy words are carved on the broken walls, filled with twisted and filthy words.
It’s like being possessed, just looking at it makes people uneasy!
Those silent words seemed to penetrate into his ears across thousands of years!
And in addition, this place is full of collisions and random claw marks.
One after another, the entire underground river is covered!
The dazzling flashlight shines out, and at this moment, everyone's vision seems to have spanned the ages and come to a thousand years ago.
They seemed to see figures covering their heads, with torn clothes and red eyes, struggling and roaring in the deep underground river!
Their facial features are ferocious and their appearance is distorted.
Their hands are bloody and bloody, and they have dug out large lines on the huge wall. As if they have no sense, they are destroying everything around them crazily!
The flashlight flashed.
The ancient illusion disappears.
But it made all the old archaeologists’ pupils shrink! !
What happened just now
?
Difficult, is this place really left by people from the past?
But how is this possible! !
If wild beasts can leave traces on the walls, and it can be explained by the presence of claws, then why do humans leave so many traces on the walls! !
Do they carry special weapons or something? Was there ever a fight here?
But that’s not right either!
Obviously not long ago, a jade slip and stone tablet recording the emperor's reign was discovered, so where did the fight come from!
The icy cold wind blew in my ears.
In the gloomy underground river, almost all the old archaeologists shivered and felt cold from head to toe!
Having devoted themselves to archeology for so many years, they have inspected a total of eight hundred or so large and small relics, but they have never been like this Qilian Mountain underground sewer. There is an unimaginable weirdness everywhere!
Even when the ancient cemeteries were being excavated, they were not so evil!
"What should we do?"
"Do we want to continue the investigation?"
An old archaeologist asked again, with a strong fear in his words.
It was all so weird, he had never experienced anything like this.
Even old man Li Yunshan has started to give in!
After wandering around the Qilian Mountains for so many days, I finally found a place like this? Something is so wrong!
Looking at the twisted words on the surrounding walls, old man Li Yunshan gritted his teeth, and after a long time, he spoke as if he was risking his life.
“Let’s go further and see!”
"After so many years, it is impossible for anything to survive."
"I have a hunch that the truth is ahead."
"We are already here, if we retreat now If you go back, you will have failed!”
Hearing what Old Man Li Yunshan said, many old archaeologists all looked a little ugly and turned slightly pale.
But in the end, they gritted their teeth and followed Li Yunshan towards the deeper darkness
In the dark and cold underground river, Old Man Li Yunshan and his group of six people were shocked by the words left thousands of years ago. Their scalps were numb and their whole bodies were trembling.
But they finally chose to move forward, stepping heavily on the icy river and walking along the ferocious and twisted boulder ruins.
The steps go farther and farther.
Time passes, the moisture has not yet arrived, the tide that pours into the cave has not yet arrived.
The cave is still dry, but an unlucky young Legalist disciple is roaring at the top of his lungs
Outside the cave, many Legalist elders in the Qilian Mountains looked increasingly sad.
“Is everything done?”
In the narrow conference room, There were a dozen old men and a few young people sitting there.
Many legal experts headed by Li Weizhi are no longer what they used to be.
Even worse than before.
Although they looked ugly and frowned before, they still had energy and were able to shout loudly.
But now, one by one of them, they are all pale, haggard, and extremely weak.
Just like an old man in his dying years, he seems to burp when he is blown by the wind.
Especially his mental state, he is particularly depressed, sitting in a dull position, straight up. He just stared at the table and said nothing.
“The time is almost here.”
silence.
A long silence. Still no one answered.
The person who spoke was Li Si, not Li Weizhi. This former representative of Legalism in the Qin Dynasty had completely despaired. During the past few days of compiling the Human Emperor's Scripture, , has gone crazy twice.
The most important one was that the whole body was covered with black grass blades.
Because Li Si's cultivation level is lower, his realm is lower, and he is younger, he is in a better position to face all this.
But it’s not much better.
At this time, Li Si was also unshaven, his eyes were bloodshot, staring at two dark circles that looked like they had been hammered, and his eyes were so sleepy that only a slit could be left there.
The demeanor of a great legal scholar has long been relegated to a corner.
In fact, not only Li Si and the people in the council, but almost all the Legalists in the Qilian Mountains looked like this!
In the last ten days, almost all the Legalists tried their best to revise the Human Emperor Sutra and get rid of this obsessive nature!
Regardless of their level of cultivation, state or not, and even ordinary Legalist disciples, they all volunteered to serve as test subjects to practice the improved Human Emperor Sutra!
Almost all the Legalists have learned the Human Emperor Sutra and made great efforts!
They revise day and night, frantically studying the many cultivation methods of various schools of thought, integrating them into them, and revising them smoothly
In this process, basically all the Legalist cultivation methods Qi warriors, no matter how high or low they are, have all fallen into obsession at least once!
Fortunately, the moment of discovery, the obsession was not complete. Except for a few people who had not pretended to have symptoms for the time being, the rest of their lives were safe
But even so!
Still useless!
After revising the Human Emperor Sutra countless times, something is still wrong!
Same illness, but still obsession!
But if you just take a few glances, you will no longer collapse and lose your mind on the spot like before.
Is this considered a success?
Li Si thought silently and rubbed his eyes. He dragged the dark circles under his eyes from not sleeping for more than ten days and forced himself to speak.
“Can I revise it again?”
Hearing this, the old Legalists who had been sitting there, like zombies since they came to the meeting, suddenly As if he was touched by something, he finally took action for the first time since joining the parliament.
"No, it can't be done"
An old Legalist man gasped, his voice was small, almost half-collapsed, and he spoke in a breathy voice.
“That’s it.”
“If we continue to modify it”
“Everyone will be gone”
The other Legalist elders also raised their heads, swaying, their eyes dull, and their faces bloodless.
Seeing this scene, Li Si had no choice but to put away the bamboo slips on the table.
"That's it. The day after tomorrow is the time to report all this to the king."
"Seniors, thank you for your hard work. Let's take a rest for now."
Almost As soon as Li Si finished speaking, many old men from the Legalist family fell asleep.
In just one or two seconds, they snored loudly, shed tears, and had their first rest in more than two months.
And in order to welcome tomorrow Ying Zheng and Li Si also huddled in the corner and slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Li Si was woken up,
“Thank you for your hard work, the time has come. Tomorrow is the deadline. I wonder how the compilation of the Human Emperor Sutra is going?"
Zhao Tuo's calm voice sounded at the door.
When many of the elders and jurists heard this, they all swallowed their saliva.
Finally, you look at me, I look at you, and Li Weizhi bites the bullet and speaks.
"Most of it has been compiled, but, but there is still a little bit, just a little bit. Sir, how about a little more grace?"
"The king's order is tomorrow. , I have given it a lot of time." Zhao Tuo replied calmly, with an irresistible coldness in his words: "If the compilation is not completed when the time comes, you will bear the consequences."
Hearing this. , Li Weizhi and a group of old men looked bitter.
After Zhao Tuo left, they immediately jumped up and revised the Human Emperor Scripture carefully several times.
But there has been no improvement in the Human Emperor's Scripture for more than two months, so what's the use of just relying on it for one day?
Finally, when the time came, they finally bit the bullet and selected a few representatives. After washing carefully and putting on a set of clean and neat clothes, they followed Zhao Tuo. Went to Xianyang City.
The tall and stern city of Xianyang is as majestic as it was a few months ago.
Walking on the streets, there are traces of life everywhere, feeling the smoke and smoke of the world around them. The old Legalists who have been in the dense jungle for two full months and who are almost insane are all on the verge of tears. His face was full of tears and he looked excited.
However, this excitement stopped abruptly after arriving at the Qunshu Palace in Xianyang Imperial City.
After the tall man pressed the table, Ying Zheng was as calm as he had been a few months ago. He was sitting quietly in the ancient study room, wearing a black gold robe and cloak, solemn and majestic, with piles of government affairs placed in front of him. .
Zhao Tuo stood in the distance. Li Weizhi, Li Si, and three other Legalists came forward respectfully and bowed their heads in worship.
“See you, Your Majesty!”
“Long live Your Majesty!”
"Get up." A calm voice said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Wei and others stood up respectfully.
It was only then that they had the intention to take a look at Ying Zheng in the aftermath.
Compared to a few months ago, Ying Zheng's aura seems to be deeper.
He was sitting behind the wide desk, his eyes as dark as ink seemed to have infinite wisdom flowing through them, and his divine light opened and closed, glaring from side to side.
Seeing this scene, Li Wei and others were surprised.
It has only been two months since we last saw each other, and the king’s aura seems to have become more solemn, and the demeanor that belongs to the king has become more majestic, vaguely, and already somewhat comparable to that of the previous king.
Especially Li Si, this was the first time to be so close to Ying Zheng, and he was even more surprised.
With such rich majesty as a king, it’s no wonder that even those who were as smart as the Prime Minister said there was no need to worry. The secret was really deep.
Is this the true face of Mr. Zheng?
Li Si thought silently, feeling quite shocked.
But this shock did not last long before it was interrupted.
"How are you prepared for the compilation of the Human Emperor's Sutra?"
Hearing these words, the hearts of Li Weizhi and Li Si suddenly started beating!
"Report to Your Majesty! Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, the ministers and others have lived up to their orders, and the Human Emperor's Sutra has been compiled." Li Weizhi stepped forward and spoke.
Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slightly and gave a rare compliment.
"That's right."
"It can be compiled within two months. Gu Guo really did not misjudge the ministers. I heard that Aiqing inspected the ministers when compiling the Human Emperor's Scripture. The method of Zibaijia?”
“Yes, the king is wise”
Li Weizhi answered respectfully, his heartbeat speeding up even more. He swallowed for Wu Cha, his white hair seemed to be trembling, and he spoke tactfully.
“However, Your Majesty, this person’s Imperial Sutra contains many things and is extremely difficult to practice. Although the King’s talent can definitely be cultivated, you still need to be cautious during the cultivation process.”
< br>"Oh?" Ying Zheng nodded slowly, and spoke calmly, "Bring it to me and have a look."
"Yes."
Li Weizhi waved, and Li Si stepped forward, respectfully He raised his hands above his head and presented a scroll that had been revised countless times.
An attendant eunuch came forward, respectfully took it and placed it in front of Ying Zheng.
Looking at this thick-looking bamboo slip with the three characters "Human Emperor Sutra" engraved on it, Ying Zheng nodded.
Then he stretched out his hand and was caught in the uneasy gazes of Li Si and Li Wei.
Reading slowly.
