Chapter Fourteen The Secret
Chapter 14 Secret Land ()
When everyone followed Situ Ping's terrified eyes, sure enough, there was a white skeleton about four or five feet away from his right hand leaning against a sour jujube tree. The black skeleton eye sockets were glaring at this side. Everyone immediately stood up and their hands holding the weapon were tighter.
In theory, Situ Ping is also a child of the world. He has seen many bloody scenes and has done many things to kill and set fire. How could he be scared by this small skeleton? However, the reputation of this jujube forest, the fog that cannot be seen, and the cold weather. There is also the hearts that everyone raised their throats, which prompted her to scream. Mr. Yanming and others stopped and waited for a moment, but they did not see any movement in the skeleton. Everyone started again. Situ Ping was a little ashamed, but the rest of the people did not blame her. In this unknown environment, anyone would be in a time when emotions were out of control, and everyone was worried.
As the group went deeper, the number of bones they encountered gradually increased, and even appeared on the route they walked many times. Everyone did not dare to avoid them and crossed directly from above. There were many human skeletons, and there were more skeletons of various animals. I thought that animals who had accidentally entered the forest for so many years had innocently entered this strange and mysterious place, and they were lost here and could never go out. They went around and exhausted their physical strength, and finally lay under the sour jujube tree and left the world wailingly. Thinking of this, the group became more cautious. The original intention of exploring the power of the forest was completely dispelled. These people were originally chosen by the elders to act meticulously and resolutely, and they would not have lost their lives for the curiosity in their hearts.
This dense forest seems to be endless. After walking for a while, it is still the same scene. If it weren't for the appearance of different bones, everyone would have thought they had lost their way. Fortunately, there was no danger along the way, so everyone calmed down and just wanted to continue moving forward so that they could get out of this dense forest as soon as possible.
After walking for a long time, Situ Ping, who is a local snake, has become a little active. Jingji thoughts may mean this. I don’t know what other people think, Situ Ping’s mind has indeed moved. The Evil Tiger Gang was originally based on Lu Town, and this Shiren Peak is also within the sphere of influence of the Evil Tiger Gang. Although I knew that the Five Claw Peak here had such a dangerous place, I didn’t know the method to enter, and I was guarding this place for nothing. Now I know the method, will this be my own back garden in the future? But these four other forces are much larger than me. How do they plan to deal with this secret place? Or after they are useless, they will be regarded as abandoned children? Their lives may be worrying.
Just as Situ Ping was worried about gains and losses, her feet suddenly tripped the tree root and fell to the right. It was a coincidence that they were walking very close to the edge of the two trees. When Situ Ping felt that his body had lost balance, he immediately stopped thinking, kicked his legs in the air, and his body lightly stood up and landed steadily on the ground. However, the position had deviated from the range between the two trees, standing next to a sour jujube tree. Suddenly, such an accident occurred, and the rest of the people stopped. Yan Ming, Ma Xiangyang and Wen Wenhai also turned around and looked at Situ Ping. Ma Xiangyang looked at the tree root on the ground, with some thought in his eyes. Everyone was waiting for Situ Ping to come under the tree and move forward together, but at this time, a strange scene happened. Situ Ping turned around and looked around, and his eyes passed by everyone.
, It seemed that he didn't see it, Situ Ping's face showed a panic expression, and he looked around, and he was looking around, but he wanted to walk but let go, and did not dare to do anything abnormal. Situ Ping's mouth was changing, and he seemed to be calling everyone, but everyone could not hear the sound. Seeing this, Yan Ming quickly entered the secret with a voice transmission and said to Situ Ping, "Can you hear it? He nodded." At this time, Situ Ping's face showed ecstasy, and the chicken nodded constantly like eating rice. Yan Ming said again, "Turn left, listen to my instructions, and let you stop." Situ Ping nodded again, faced everyone according to the instructions of Yan Ming, and then walked towards everyone. It was strange. Situ Ping only walked four or five steps and arrived at the two trees where everyone was. Situ Ping's eyes lit up immediately, and he saw everyone.
Mr. Yanming did not ask Situ Ping why he fell, but asked, "What did you see just now?" Situ Ping said with lingering fear: "When I stood up, there was still the same sour jujube trees as here. There was no difference, but I just couldn't see you, and no one responded when I shouted loudly. If you hadn't talked to me, I would have looked around again."
Mr. Yanming frowned and thought, and Ma Xiangyang smiled and said to Situ Ping: "The Situ Gang Master must be careful when walking. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. The great foundation of Lu Town is someone else's. Take care of it." Situ Ping lowered his head and said: "Mr. Ma, I understand, I will be careful."
As we go down the road, we become more and more careful, knowing that this dense forest is not as calm as it seems, and once there is a mistake and is trapped in it, life will be sent here. Situ Ping didn't know that you just now know that it is useless to shout loudly, and you can only use the transmission of the voice to enter the secret. This profound martial art is not something that everyone can do, and it is better to be careful than to place hope on others.
After walking about four or five incense sticks, the bones on the road gradually decreased and the fog became thinner. I saw that I was walking to the edge of the dense forest. Sure enough, I saw a light in the distance. Mr. Yanming still led everyone to move forward in a roundabout way according to the formula, and became more careful. The accident did not happen. The group walked through the last tree according to the formula and walked out of the dense forest safely. What greeted them was a world that stunned them.
What was presented to them was a dense land of warm spring. The area of this land was not very large. In the middle was a large lake. White fog rose on the surface. There was a small house made of stone by the lake. There were several fields around the hut, planted plants, and it was impossible to see clearly from afar.
Under the leadership of Mr. Yanming, everyone entered this place where no one had ever been involved for hundreds of years.
Mr. Yanming said to everyone: "According to the booklet, there is no danger in entering the secret place. Everyone can walk around with confidence. However, for safety, I suggest that everyone act together and follow me." Then, he walked towards the lakeside.
When everyone walked to the lake, a burst of heat came to their faces, and the lake water was bubbling upwards. Mr. Yanming squatted down and first found a branch to put it in the water. Seeing that nothing unusual was wrong, he wondered how to know the heat of the lake water. Tan Wu walked up, took out an egg from his arms, and said embarrassedly: "I like to drink raw eggs. There were still a few left yesterday. I didn't eat it now. Now I just tried the heat of the water." Then he found a cloth bag and put it in the lake water. He took out the eggs soon. Sure enough, it was already ripe. Now, everyone's idea of exploring the water was relieved.
It seems that the temperature between this world and the outside is very different, and it should be related to the lake water.
Everyone walked along the lake and walked towards the only stone house. I guess the treasure everyone was looking forward to was inside. After walking along the lake for a while, there was no animal, and there was no danger. Everyone felt relieved. It seemed that the owner's suicide note was not a lie.
There are several medicinal fields around the stone house, and most of the medicinal materials planted in it are not known. After all, they are not pharmacists in specialized sects. Even the well-informed lay Buddhist Yan Ming only knows a few kinds of them, such as Tianqi, ginseng, atractylodes, golden sunflower, etc. These very ordinary medicinal materials outside appear to be extremely precious here. Without it, any medicine will be extremely precious if it lasts for three hundred years or longer. Not to mention other unknown drugs, they should be things that have been lost in the stone house in recent years. Not to mention what is in the stone house, even the medicine in this medicine garden is a priceless treasure for each sect.
So everyone looked at these precious things and wondered how to bring them back. Mr. Yanming frowned and said to everyone: "I didn't expect that such precious medicinal materials were planted here, which was beyond our expectations. I don't know how to take them out. Let's go to the stone house first and think of a solution when it comes out. Anyway, these medicinal materials don't grow feet and can't run away, so everyone doesn't need to be jealous." Everyone laughed and followed Mr. Yanming to the stone house.
This is a very simple stone house, so simple that there is no door. Mr. Yanming walked to the empty door and didn't dare to go in. Although the book was very clear, there was no mechanism here, so he was not defensive. He thought about it, picked up stones from the ground and threw them in. When he heard that there was only the sound of stones falling to the ground, and there was no other movement. Mr. Yanming then walked into the stone house with a dagger in his hand, and others followed him in.
The stone house looked small from the outside, but when everyone came inside, they found that it was quite large in area, and it looked like a hall, not the room that everyone imagined. The hall did not have a thick dust on the ground because no one came for a long time. Instead, it was because there was no door, and it was well ventilated and there was no smell of dust in the room.
Directly opposite the hall is a smooth wall, with an empty top. It feels like there were portraits or things on it. Under the wall was a long table and a square table. There was an incense burner on the long table. It was far from the incense burner. There was a square, flat box. On the table below the long table, there were four square brocade boxes casually placed, with antique appearance and patterns that were not available today. There were three chairs on both sides of the square table.
They were all casually placed, and there were cushions on each chair. There was nothing on the wall of everyone's left hand, and there was a hole on it, probably a window. There were three paintings hanging on the wall of the right hand, one with a man in brocade clothes, holding a knife in his hand, and walking on his horse; the other with a scholar in white clothes, hanging a sword around his waist, walking strolling; the last picture showed a woman with a white veil on her face and graceful figure, holding a long whip in her hand, standing next to a small bridge.
After years of erosion, the three paintings have not been seen very clearly. Moreover, there are no handwriting in the three paintings, which makes people unable to understand what they mean, and no one can tell whether there is a one-armed swordsman inside.
