The two walked forward and saw that in the center of this open cave, there was a row of spiritual tablets arranged neatly, with the names of the Snake Clan elders of all generations engraved on them.
Behind the tablet, there are more than a dozen petrified corpses of the snake clan chiefs quietly entangled. They have all changed back to the shape of snakes, their lower bodies are circling, but the snake heads are still high, facing the spiritual tablets of the past clan chiefs.
"It seems that our guess is good. They are all here as expected, and..." Wang Long pointed to a petrified corpse at the back. Although its position was stable, there was no spiritual place in front of it: "This last one is
As a clan leader, I’m afraid we had to wait until the current clan leader entered the forbidden area before carving a spiritual tablet for him!”
Wang Long stood up and bowed silently. Seeing Jiang Xue's strange eyes, he couldn't help but sigh: "The dead are the most important. After all, we have indeed disturbed the resting place of others."
Jiangxue said nothing, nodded slightly, and bowed slightly.
Wang Long looked at her and smiled.
Jiangxue saw him smiling at her, with a slight fever on his face, so she quickly changed the subject and said: "Look in front of you, there seems to be a sarcophagus..."
Wang Long looked forward, and sure enough he saw a sarcophagus displayed in front of many spiritual tablets. It was tightly fitted and covered tightly.
"It's strange, these patriarchs of all generations are just sitting here, their bodies have been petrified, who is in the sarcophagus? And it seems... it seems that these patriarchs want to worship him, it must be extraordinary."
He glanced at Jiangxue and said with a smile, "Would you like to open it and take a look?"
Jiangxue smiled slightly, "Didn't you say that the dead are the most important, so don't bother me?"
At this moment, the cave was dark, with only a little light shining in Wang Long's hand, which made Jiangxue's face look like white jade, emitting a soft and holy light, and Wang Long's heart moved.
"Having said that, this sarcophagus may be related to the clues for our escape. No matter how old the deceased is, his own safety is not more important." Wang Long said with a smile, while slowly approaching the sarcophagus.
There is nothing special about this sarcophagus, but it is extremely ancient and heavy, as if it has a history of tens of millions of years, and is full of a sense of vicissitudes of life.
"It looks like something from thousands of years ago. Could it be that the ancestors of the snake demon clan are inside?" Jiangxue thought softly.
Wang Long nodded: "It's very possible, looking at the way these Snake Clan leaders worshiped in the past, it seems that they are not ordinary people buried in it."
He paused, glanced at Jiangxue and said, "Tell me, should we open it and take a look..."
Jiangxue was also a little hesitant. After a while, she nodded and said, "But we must be extremely careful. This sarcophagus may be extremely secretive. There may be some mechanism."
Wang Long nodded, guarding Jiang Xue behind him, and suddenly activated a Thunder Fire Sky-Splitting Sword in his palm, and threw it fiercely, towards the sarcophagus, to test it out.
Unexpectedly, there was not much movement in the sarcophagus. It was not stirred up by the Thunder Fire Sword, but no mechanism was triggered.
Wang Long got a little bolder and stepped forward, knocking around, looking for the opening of the sarcophagus. However, the sarcophagus seemed to be a piece of stone, tightly fitting together, and there was absolutely no room for trickery.
"Looks like it's pretty tough..." Wang Long breathed a long sigh of relief, gathered all the dragon energy in his palms, shouted loudly, and struck out with a flying dragon's thunder hand!
boom!
A dull and loud sound echoed in the cave, and the sarcophagus lid was immediately hit and flew up parallel, flying ten feet away before falling to the ground with a plop.
Wang and Long looked at each other. They didn't expect it to be so easy. They cautiously stepped forward and looked inside the sarcophagus.
As soon as the sarcophagus was opened, a faint light emanated from it. Although it was weak, it made the entire cave a little brighter. It was faintly yellow, but it was enough to be able to see the surrounding scenery.
Wang Long also extinguished the light of the thunder ball in his hand, and Jiangxue stepped forward to investigate, and poked his head above the sarcophagus.
But the faint light in the sarcophagus was emanating from a corpse. It was obviously the corpse of a snake demon clan. Although it seemed a bit narrow in the coffin and the bones could only coil and curl, Wang Long
For some reason, there was a heavy sense of oppression that I had never felt even around Longtou and Wang Yuanxian.
The snake head of the corpse was tilted to the side, and a large orb was inlaid where the eyes were. The faint light emanated from the orb.
Apart from that, the entire sarcophagus was empty and looked quite sad.
"Is it just a skeleton? I thought I could get something useful..." Wang Long said with some disappointment.
Jiangxue glanced at him and reminded: "Look at the four walls of the sarcophagus..."
Wang Long looked down and saw a lot of strange characters written on them. They were more like graphics than words. They were twisted and weird, making people feel dizzy just by looking at them.
"This is the dragon text from ancient times!" Wang Long was overjoyed. He had not been able to practice martial arts since he was a child, but he had read a lot of anecdotes, miscellanies of unofficial history, etc., and he had a somewhat superficial understanding of the texts in legends from ancient times.
know.
"Dragon writing? It is said that only the human race has writing. Did the dragon race in ancient times also have such wisdom?" Jiangxue asked curiously.
Wang Long smiled and said: "Don't underestimate the Dragon Clan. After all, they are a race that has ruled this world for tens of millions of years. Although they are too ancient and their wisdom is not as civilized as humans, they are the first batch of creatures to explore the nature of heaven.
.This so-called dragon text is a mysterious culture left behind by them... The dragon text has indescribable power attached to it, just like when we perform dragon magic, we need curse seals to cooperate with each other.
A way to communicate with nature between heaven and earth.”
Jiangxue frowned and said, "Are you saying that just based on the weird strokes of these dragon characters, they contain inexplicable power?"
"Yes, that's it..." Wang Long nodded and said: "So there is no need for other mechanisms in this sarcophagus. There are only a handful of people in the world who can decipher the ancient dragon inscriptions; unless they are powerful enough,
The mana can surpass the ancestors who laid down the dragon spell, otherwise nothing can be obtained from the sarcophagus."
"Seeing that you were very surprised by the dragon text just now, can it be cracked?" Jiangxue asked again.
Wang Long shook his head and said: "I have only heard about it briefly. It is absolutely impossible to completely crack it...but, you can try it."
"This dragon text has been lost for thousands of years, but now it can reappear in the sky. You and I are also lucky people. Just meditating on the traces of these dragon texts in our hearts can help us understand many truths.
.And the power of dragon writing is also the most direct way to communicate between heaven and earth, surpassing dragon skills and dragon methods."
Wang Long fell into deep thought as he spoke. He began to study the dragon inscriptions on the sarcophagus on the top of the corpse's head. He compared the cognition in his memory stroke by stroke and tried every means to decipher the mystery.
The more he looked, the more frightened he became, and the faster he felt, the more exhausted he became mentally and physically. The sweat on his head kept rolling down, splashing on the cave floor, making an inaudible sound.
Jiangxue looked at him from behind, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, for fear that he would accidentally fall into some strange mechanism and be sucked away.
"So that's it...the dragon inscriptions on this sarcophagus record a great secret from ancient times..."
