Chapter 519
Xueshuang just nodded, then asked Lanyu for advice and asked, "master Qi, what do you think?"
"You can have a look."
Lan Yu replied briefly and said, "but now we all need to rest and recover our strength."
The road ahead is unknown. Maintaining the peak will always add a chip to yourself.
Everyone had no opinion, so they sat down and began to practice. After an hour, they all recovered to their peak state.
Then he set out.
The warrior who found the passage led the way in front, and everyone followed.
The passage is very wide, and the top is in the shape of a circular arch, which is very like an underground drainage channel. Lan Yu checked it and found that there were no water stains or marks left by the dried moss on the wall, so he decided that it must not be a drainage channel.
Luoxing River took the opportunity to explain that it is generally a huge city like the lost city. When it is built, it will plan the escape passage in advance.
It can be concluded that the passage in front of everyone is used for escape, and there must be more than one.
In order to verify Luo Xinghe's words, Lan Yu asked Xueshuang to arrange several martial artists to open the way in front, and they followed.
The passage is very long and there are almost no detours. However, after walking for a while, I found that there are many entrances connected here, extending in all directions. A large number of lamps began to appear on the surrounding walls, but the lamp oil has dried up for a long time and can't be lit.
After another section of the road, the martial artist who opened the road in front suddenly exclaimed.
Lan Yu was surprised at the same time. Looking along the sound, there were a large number of bodies in front, some lying on the ground, some leaning straight on the wall. There were huge wounds on their bodies, which were surprisingly consistent, almost all on their chest.
Lan Yu came to a corpse and looked at it carefully. The corpse had long been weathered into a mummy. The wound was on the left chest, and the skin was torn open by blunt tools and turned on both sides.
"These people were all killed!"
Finally, Lan Yu came to a conclusion.
Xueshuang's eyes twitched for a while, feeling a little creepy, and asked, "master Qi, how do you see it?"
Silver suddenly sneered: "these people must want to escape through here, but there are pursuers behind, or extremely cruel pursuers. The most efficient way to kill people is to take out their hearts in addition to smashing their skulls. Most of these bodies are killed at one blow, and few have other wounds on their bodies."
Silver's words made all the martial artists around take a breath. Who did it? So cruel.
Lan Yu looked at a corpse next to him, shook her head and said, "now these things can't be studied. It's certain that this place is an escape passage. Let's go on and don't waste time here."
Master Qi opened his mouth, and others naturally had no opinion.
The more you go forward, the more entrances on both sides, and the more corpses appear. Even some corpses have clothes on them. Although they will turn gray when touched, some can vaguely see the sign on their chest, which is an inverted phoenix feather.
Luo Xinghe said that these people are obviously from Zihuang sect. Judging from the color of the logo, they should all be core disciples.
In other words, when the lost city fell, Zihuang sect, like other sects, chose to let those unimportant disciples fight at the critical moment of life and death. The core disciples were transferred, and this channel must lead to the outside of the lost city.
However, things changed too quickly. Later, the Snow Demon emperor came out and brought endless despair to the lost city. Everyone couldn't escape.
As they walked, they analyzed. Finally, they went up an inclined channel, walked a very long distance, and came to an underground secret room.
It is said to be a secret room, but the structure here is very special. It is surrounded by walls made of extremely strong special materials. The walls are carved with different patterns, which can make people wake up and concentrate at a glance.
In such a large space, there are bookshelves falling everywhere. A large number of scrolls are scattered all over the ground, and many of them are damaged. Even those scrolls that are not damaged. When Lan Yu picked up a few volumes, he also found that the information recorded in them had long been erased and become an empty scroll.
Moreover, at the front of the scroll pile, there is also a plaque with several large characters: Sutra Pavilion.
When the martial artists saw those words, their eyes couldn't help but brighten. This place is the place where Zihuang sect used to preserve its martial arts!
Many people almost couldn't restrain their greed and rushed to rob those scrolls, but with the cold cheers of snow and frost, they were quiet again.
Lan Yu looked at Xueshuang and said, "there's nothing in these scrolls. Obviously, this place has been damaged before. It's a pity!"
Although Xueshuang didn't doubt Lan Yu's words, she was still unwilling. So many martial arts and skills finally became a waste scroll. It would be a pity for anyone to replace them. She searched for a long time and couldn't find a complete scroll. Finally, she was disappointed and sighed: "master Qi said well, it's a pity!"
Silver was also very unwilling. He quickly swept through this space and found nothing valuable. The only well preserved martial arts were only ground steps and could not enter his eyes.
Snow frost frowned and said, "those damn snow demons have destroyed all the good things left by us humans!"
If these scrolls are well preserved, putting them away will be a great wealth for the Fulong chamber of Commerce!
However, the facts are before us.
Xueshuang asked people to thoroughly search the place again. They found all the valuable scrolls and put them away. There were less than 40 scrolls in total, and they were all things that people with extremely high horizons such as silver and Lanyu despised. Compared with the huge number of scrolls here, they were very simple and pitiful.
Xueshuang put away the scrolls and said to the people, "guys, there's nothing useful in this place. Let's leave now?"
No one had any opinion, but he was also very disappointed.
When everyone was about to leave the Sutra Pavilion, suddenly the earth began to tremble violently. Then everyone couldn't stand stably and almost fell to the ground. The scrolls around jumped around like leaping grasshoppers, and the bookshelves shook back and forth.
Everyone was shocked. Was it an earthquake?
As the vibration became stronger and stronger, the fighters began to be dispersed and stumbled around.
Suddenly, there was a roar in the back. It seemed that some entrance was opened in the extremely strong vibration and stirred up a large amount of dust. However, because the ground shook more and more violently, although they had noticed something, they didn't care much.
Only Lan Yu quietly released her divine consciousness and went away in the direction of the sound.
It is indeed an entrance. Behind the entrance is a slender channel, but because in this place, divine consciousness will still be suppressed and the detection distance is limited.
He has decided to go to that passage.
But we must find a time to run away, and it can't be too obvious, so we can only expect the vibration to be more violent.
Not out of Lan Yu's expectation, but in the blink of an eye, the vibration became stronger and stronger!
The ground seemed to fluctuate like waves, large areas of the floor collapsed, and huge cracks spread in all directions.
The crowd was dispersed more violently, even in the strong vibration, even the line of sight was trembling, and the person opposite could not be seen clearly.
Lan Yu whispered to Yu Qingwan and asked her to follow her closely. She turned into a dark shadow and disappeared behind a bookshelf. Yu Qingwan followed and disappeared.
The two quickly came to the entrance. Lan Yu thought for a moment, no longer hesitated, and went straight in.
On the way, Yu Qingwan asked, "Lan Yu, will we cause snow frost to doubt them?"
Lan Yu didn't worry about this, but said faintly: "it's not normal for us to be dispersed by such a strong vibration? If they want to come to us, they will come to us. In short, we should hurry up. I always feel something at the end of this passage."
Yu Qingwan couldn't help looking tight. "You don't mean that there are snow demons who survived from ancient times like a maze?"
Lan Yu shook her head and said, "I don't feel bad. There should be no snow devil here. There should be good things in front."
"I hope."
Yu Qingwan whispered, then became vigilant and followed Lan Yu forward.
At the end of the passage is a square space, but the snow devil doesn't.
But there were four corpses. Each corpse held his hands high above his head and was divided into two groups, facing each other. In the center of the corpse was a cube stone platform, which was carved with strange patterns.
These four people seem to be worshipping the stone platform.
However, in such a place, especially the lost city that suffered the massive invasion of snow demons, this strange phenomenon of worship always makes Lan Yu and Yu Qingwan feel a little uncomfortable.
Lan Yu walked around the four corpses. The clothes of the four people were relatively well preserved, probably because the air here was drier than outside. He also found that there was an inverted phoenix feather on the chest of the clothes worn by the four corpses. Obviously, they were also from Zihuang sect.
Lan Yu looked at one of the corpses and didn't act rashly immediately. He analyzed and said, "these four people are from Zihuang sect, and they seem to be guarding something important here."
He glanced at the dusty stone platform and said, "this stone platform is likely to contain something important."
Yu Qingwan looked at the stone platform, nodded and said, "but how can this stone platform be opened?"
