The cave entrance is very large, so although it seems very deep inside, the light from the entrance is enough for Qiao Xianyong to see inside.
First of all, this is an ordinary cave, not much different from other caves. The inside of the cave is much cooler than the outside. There are small gravels everywhere in the cave, and there are some unexpected stalagmites growing in some places. There are some miscellaneous things near the entrance of the cave.
Grass.
However, this is a not-so-ordinary cave. Because Qiao Xianyong was surprised to find that there was a huge stone slab about three or four meters away from the cave entrance. Next to the stone slab, there were three or four short, round stone piers forming a circle.
, there was a taller and larger stone pier in the middle. Qiao Xianyong looked at it blankly, feeling why the arrangement of these stones was so strange, but he seemed to have seen it somewhere before.
He thought hard for a while, and suddenly realized that the arrangement of the stones looked too much like the house he lived in at Broken Moon Cliff! The big one was a bed, and next to it was a small tea table and a few low stools.
Qiao Xianyong was a little nervous. He wondered uncertainly whether this was the room of some imp judge. He mentally thought about all the moves he knew several times. It was probably easy to deal with ordinary living people, but he didn't know how to deal with this ghost.
It can't be done.
Embracing himself, Qiao Xianyong walked inside again. The ceiling of the cave on the right was obviously lowered, and the light was very dark. He took a big step forward and felt as if he had kicked something. He could only hear a crisp sound.
There was a sound. Qiao Xianyong lowered his head and reached out to touch at the same time. He touched an ice-cooled and slightly smooth object. He looked carefully and saw a mummy in front of him. Only the bones of the whole body were left in the mummy, and some hair seemed to be missing.
Completely elegant, like white withered grass hanging on the eye sockets. The mummy was covered with what looked like a beautifully embroidered cloak, which shattered into pieces after being touched by Qiao Xianyong.
Qiao Xianyong couldn't control himself, jumped up, and his head hit the protruding rock on the top of the cave. He screamed, and he didn't know whether it was because he had a headache or because he was frightened by the mummy.
He rushed out of the cave and sat on the grass at the door, breathing heavily.
At this time, he felt a violent tremor coming from the ground. He looked up towards the direction of the lake and saw a beast in the distance. The beast's whole body seemed to be shining with golden and cyan light, running closer and closer to Qiao Xianyong.
.
Qiao Xianyong drew the ink sword from his back.
Then he gradually saw the face of the beast clearly. The beast's head looked very much like a cow, but it had no horns, thick green scales on its back, and a huge and thick tail seemed to be swinging behind it. The most peculiar thing is that this beast
It only has one leg, but it runs extremely fast. Qiao Xianyong saw leopards chasing antelopes when they were on Broken Moon Cliff. They are all animals that are very good at running, but they are still much slower than this one-horned beast.
The target of the beast seemed not to be Qiao Xianyong, but to rush towards the cave behind him. But who knew that the unlucky Qiao Xianyong was standing at the entrance of the cave, and he took out a long sword and pointed it at it.
The beast seemed to be very angry at the strange smell and the strange-looking creature. It pushed straight at Qiao Xianyong, and at the same time opened its huge mouth, revealing a mouth full of large fangs and small thorns.
Qiao Xianyong smelled a suffocating rancid smell.
Qiao Xianyong used the Swift Wind Sword move and stabbed towards the monster's face. Unexpectedly, the monster's neck suddenly swelled a few inches, turned a corner deftly, and dodged away from his sword, and then the monster's huge head lowered.
He pushed it up once and then again, and the huge impact pushed Qiao Xianyong backwards. Qiao Xianyong flew straight out in the direction of the cave, landed heavily on the ground, and fainted.
The monster jumped next to him, lowered its head, seemed to smell it, and licked it. Then it jumped away with great satisfaction, and disappeared to an unknown place in an instant.
It was getting late, and Qiao Xianyong slowly woke up.
After he woke up, he felt severe pain in his abdomen, as if his internal organs had moved. He sat up reluctantly, concentrated his energy, and exercised his internal strength twice. It seemed that his body had healed a little, but there was still some pain in the bruised skin, and there were a few
The wound was still bleeding. He took out some fruits he had picked during the day from his arms and ate them. Strangely enough, after eating a few fruits, the bleeding from the wound stopped immediately. Qiao Xianyong died.
Pay more attention.
Qiao Xianyong thought about the beast that attacked it during the day, and for some reason he felt that it was familiar. He suddenly remembered a jade pendant that his master always hung. The pattern on it had some similarities with the monster. He remembered that his master said that this pattern was based on a
It was designed by planting an ancient mythical beast. This ancient mythical beast is called Lei Kui. It is said that the First Emperor once raised one in his palace. Later, its skin was peeled off and made into a war drum. The sound of the drum was so loud that even the gods in the sky could not stand it.
.
What Master is talking about must be a myth. So the appearance of the cow-faced blue unicorn Lei Kui in this mountain further proves that this is not the human world?
Qiao Xianyong muttered, dug into his arms, and took out two pieces of flint and a small twist of flax straw tinder. Fortunately, the flint and tinder were not lost. He used the moonlight at night to collect a handful of drier shrub branches.
Back in the cave, I set up a small fire at the entrance of the cave, lit it with flint and steel, ignited the tinder and threw it into the branches, then I lay down next to it and blew it gently with my mouth. After a while, the small fire started.
It burned up.
After a day and a night, Qiao Xianyong felt a little depressed.
He didn't see a single living person, but he saw an ancient mythical beast and a mummy. Is this the world after death, or did he just happen to fall from Wushan Mountain and not die. Not only did he not fall to death, but his muscles and bones were almost gone.
Not even hurt, how is this possible? He shook his head.
Qiao Xianyong lit a small torch and decided to go inside the cave to observe the mummy. After all, this was the closest human being he had seen in so long.
Under the light of the torch, the corpse was glowing with phosphorescence. At this time, he found that the corpse was leaning on the cave wall, sitting on something. Qiao Xianyong bowed to the corpse, said "Excuse me" silently, and then carefully
He moved the mummy to the side. Sure enough, underneath was a bronze box that seemed to be engraved with cloud patterns, with dark blue patina covering most of the patterns.
Qiao Xianyong's curiosity arose in his heart. He put the torch aside and looked at the copper box carefully. It was obviously an old antique. There was a lock in the middle, but there was no lock. He held the lids at both ends with his hands.
Lift it up hard.
It has not been opened. It has been too long and the cover has become rusty.
Qiao Xianyong thought for a while, took out the Xiansong Sword, and drew a circle along the lower edge of the cover. Unexpectedly, the Xiansong Sword was so sharp that the copper box was cut open like paper without any effort. Qiao Xianyong wiped it.
