However, after walking only a few steps, Jiang Fan suddenly discovered that the cave had ended, and suddenly a huge natural space opened up in front of him, covering an area of ​​a hundred acres.

The ceiling of the cave is no less than twenty feet above the ground. There are some strange crystals inlaid on the top, emitting a soft white light.

The ground was surrounded by water, and in the center was a flat, high platform. The scene on the platform made them stunned.

There was a huge deformed turtle that had never been seen before!

This guy has a towering head and horns that look like a dragon's head. His body is ten feet long and his height is three feet. There are even many sword-like things on the back of the turtle. I don't know if they are stones or bone spurs. And there are some weird things on these things. Plants are growing. The most peculiar thing is that in the center of the turtle's back, there is a three-foot-high stone tablet with some strange inscriptions carved on it. Biquku

The giant turtle was lying on the ground with its eyes closed. It was unclear whether it was dead or sleeping.

Next to it is a bronze tripod with three legs and two ears. Compared with the giant tortoise, it looks very small, but it is also about one foot tall. It looks a bit like the giant tortoise's rice bowl.

Both of them were stunned by this sight and couldn't help but look at each other. One word appeared in their minds almost at the same time - Long Ao!

Canglan Longao? This thing should be just a legend. How could such a thing really exist in the world?

Jiang Fan felt like his head was buzzing for a moment. This world once again broke his cognition.

When the old fisherman said he wanted to catch Long Ao, he just thought it was a joke. I believe you when you say you want to catch a thousand-year-old tortoise, but Long Ao? Are you kidding me? The Classic of Mountains and Seas talks about myths. At that time, I thought he was Just treat yourself casually. Who the hell knew that such a thing really existed!

But, old fisherman, you are obviously in the wrong place. It’s a shame that you have been here for a year and you didn’t realize that this is Long Ao’s lair? Now you are still waiting in Bailuzhou because it is said that Long Ao is there. Appeared twice?

But thinking about it carefully, if it weren't for Pei Yunjin's weak water, I probably wouldn't have been able to find the hidden entrance in the dark cave. From this situation, it is obvious that the so-called Long Ao should have entered the water from here and passed through the underground river, and this This underground river is definitely connected to the Canglan River. Giant turtles should be able to enter the river, or they may enter the unknown from a deeper entrance through the underground river.

The bottom of the pool surfaced again.

The key issue is that above the bottomless pool is a strange hill similar to the shape of a dragon, which also has traces of artificial carvings, plus the stone tablet on the back of the giant turtle and the bronze tripod next to it. It is obvious that someone knows its existence. , and some things were arranged artificially. What is that person going to do?

The two of them were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time. They didn't dare to make a sound easily. Who knows what would happen if this thing was sleeping and woke up? The two of them added up to about 200 pounds, which was not enough to fit between their teeth.

After a long while, Jiang Fan said softly: "Sister, are we sure we are not dreaming?"

Pei Yunjin patted his chest and said in shock: "I don't know... does such a thing really exist in the world?"

what to do?

The two of them looked at each other and thought they were going to leave just like that? Then what's the point of coming here?

Jiang Fan was unwilling to give in. Although Long Ao shocked him a lot, this was not what he wanted to find. He actually only fancifully hoped that the Bottomless Pool could be a passage or find some clues. But now it seems that it is Long Ao. Ao Lair. Do you want to leave here?

His eyes kept flashing, and suddenly, Jiang Fan's eyes focused on the stone tablet on the turtle's back.

There was an inscription on it, what was it written on? It was covered with a lot of dried water plants and the like, so it was hard to see clearly.

Jiang Fan wanted to see it so much that he kept coming. He would not be willing to accept it until he understood it.

Gritting his teeth, he looked at Pei Yunjin.

"Sister, please give me a break and keep an eye on that big guy. If you find anything wrong, remind me immediately..."

Pei Yunjin was shocked: "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Fan pointed at the stone tablet: "I want to see what the inscription says."

Pei Yunjin's eyes were horrified: "Are you seeking death?"

Jiang Fan's eyes were firm: "Sister, it may be very important to me, I must watch it, please stay away and help me keep an eye on it."

Pei Yunjin grabbed him and said, "Are you crazy? If this thing is really a dragon's claw, it is a big monster that has lived for many years. With the cultivation level of the two of us, it is almost as long as crushing an insect!"

Jiang Fan was also a little scared in his heart, but he would not give up no matter what.

"Sister, you don't understand, I must see it. I will try to be careful."

As he spoke, he pulled Pei Yunjin's hand away, jumped into the air, and crossed over

The water falls gently on the platform.

He was not very good at cultivation, but he still made some noise, but the dragon's claw did not move at all.

Jiang Fan breathed out slowly, looked back at Pei Yunjin, and then tiptoed closer.

The closer he got, the more frightened Jiang Fan felt.

This thing is so big that I am not even as long as one of my nails.

The head looks more and more like a dragon head from myths and legends, with two weird horns. There are thick long blue-gray hairs on the neck, and the body is also covered with bronze scales, each of which is as big as a human face.

When he got closer, Jiang Fan was alert and noticed that it was breathing! Therefore, this thing was not dead, but sleeping.

Jiang Fan held his breath as much as possible, slowed down his movements, and then lightly jumped onto the turtle's back. After observing it vigilantly for a while, he found that it was motionless. Only then did Jiang Fan feel relieved and turned to look at the stone monument.

The three-foot stele is greenish-black as a whole, and I don't know what the stone is. It is covered with thick dry water plants, making it difficult to see the inscription.

Jiang Fan stretched out his hand and pulled out the green snake, jumped up, and slashed at it from top to bottom, finally clearing the front.

But when Jiang Fan raised his eyes and looked up, he was stunned. There were six big characters engraved on it. It was a kind of peculiar writing. If he hadn't painstakingly studied the writing of this world in order to find the way, it would be impossible for ordinary people to recognize it.

Even so, he only identified four of them, which translated as: Jiu, Ding, Yin, and Yang.

Jiu?ding?

Jiang Fan stood there blankly, not knowing why. After thinking about it, he turned to the back. Sure enough, there was an inscription on the back of the stone tablet, with four sentences. Jiang Fan could only recognize a few words here and there.

Nine...Ding...Heaven...Earth...Yin...Yang...Sheng...

He muttered a few recognizable words and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he turned to look at the bronze tripod on the ground.

Since there is the word "ding", maybe it has something to do with this tripod?

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan jumped down and quickly came to the bronze cauldron to look at it carefully.

The bronze tripod seems to be very old, but it is extremely well preserved. It is unknown what was painted on the surface, and the patina has not been excessively corroded.
