Both of them were carrying master-level light body charms made by Gao Yuan, so they traveled very quickly, and it didn't take long to reach the depths of Qingyuan Mountain.
Under Zheng Song's guidance, the two gradually deviated from the main road into the mountain and headed straight towards a remote direction.
As the route became more and more remote, there were no roads around the two of them, and everything they could see was a patch of waist-deep snow with no undulations.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but neither of them encountered the Netherworld Spring along the way, and they didn't see any of the various evil things.
But after all, this place was deep into the Qingyuan Mountains, and the surroundings were full of sinister energy. Gao Yuan naturally did not dare to relax. He turned on the Qi Watching Technique and scanned the surroundings from time to time to guard against being approached by sinister things such as sinister shadows.
As the two of them continued to move towards the ruins, Gao Yuan finally understood the true meaning of Zheng Song's previous statement that the ancestor of the Zheng family discovered the ruins by 'accident'.
Because it is located in a remote place and has been uninhabited for a long time, the plants here grow very 'wild'. The two of them no longer have solid ground under their feet, but a 'mat' made of countless vines stacked on top of each other.
In addition, there is snow all around blocking the view. The two of them are walking on this thick 'mat' with one foot deep and one foot shallow. It feels worse than crossing the river by feeling for stones. If you don't pay attention to your feet, you will be hit.
trip over.
Who in the winter would run to a place where birds don’t poop when they’re so full?
…
Zheng Song seemed to be very familiar with the route. He rarely stopped to recognize the way along the way, and kept moving forward with Gao Yuan. Therefore, although the road was a bit difficult, the two of them were traveling at a slow speed.
Near noon, the two of them had climbed over two small hills, and Zheng Song finally stopped in a smaller valley.
I saw him looking around briefly, calculating for a while like positioning, and soon determined the location and went straight to an area near the foot of the mountain on the north side.
I saw him arching his body and squeezing away the thick snow around him, then leaning down and digging around at his feet.
With a "crash" sound of vines being dragged, Zheng Song struggled to push the vines under his feet to both sides as if moving a door curtain, revealing the entrance to a pit wide enough for two people, and then turned around and gestured towards Gao Yuan.
After a while, I leaned forward and got in with some effort.
Entering this pit covered by countless vines and following Zheng Song deeper and deeper, Gao Yuan became more and more confused.
The growth of the vines in this valley is really weird. It can no longer be described as "dense". Even in a tropical rain forest where plants grow wildly, the vines cannot stack up to form a "mat" more than ten meters thick, right?
And these dead vines below have accidentally left a passage for people to walk through?
"Fat Zheng, did your Zheng family create these vines outside?" Gao Yuan asked curiously, following Zheng Song as he walked through the passage separated by countless vines.
"Of course, although this valley is in a remote location, it is inevitable that someone will pass by here accidentally over time, just like my ancestors did back then." Zheng Song said without looking back.
"Actually, we planted some vines here at the beginning. The original plan was to cover the entrance of the ruins and not to be easily discovered.
It’s just that I don’t know when the vines here began to grow crazily and soon covered the valley. However, this is also a good thing for covering the entrance to the ruins. We don’t have to take care of it. We just come here regularly to clean it up to prevent new growth.
The vines growing out blocked the passage."
Gao Yuan was amazed when he heard this. He said nothing more and followed Zheng Song. He quickly passed through countless vine-woven passages and arrived at the real foot of the mountain.
Not far ahead, near the foot of the mountain, a triangular cave like a crack in the mountain came into view.
"puff!"
Gao Yuan and Zheng Song each activated a Moonlight Talisman, which was a mid-level talisman worth as much as the Light Body Talisman. Zheng Song specially purchased it for this operation.
Countless streams of light on the surface of the blood-colored spirit pattern rotated on their own, and the bright white light was steadily projected from the surface of the talisman paper, illuminating an area two meters around the two people.
This is a passage that leads diagonally downward to the depths of the mountain. It is obviously not man-made. There are irregular rock fractures on all sides. There are also a lot of gravels along the way. It feels like the inside of the mountain has collapsed for some reason.
It's just a crack that goes straight into the mountain.
After walking along this mountain fissure of varying width for a long time, Gao Yuan felt that he had gone hundreds of meters underground before he saw some traces of artificial excavation.
After walking forward for a while, passing through the long stone road, Gaoyuan's vision suddenly widened, and a towering city wall appeared in front of Gaoyuan's eyes.
This stone wall is made of countless blue-gray stone bricks, and is deeply embedded in the surrounding mountains from top to bottom, left and right.
On the surface of these stone bricks, there are complicated and unusual mysterious patterns engraved on them. The patterns on adjacent stone bricks are connected to each other. From time to time, there is a faint halo flowing in these patterns, which is very extraordinary at first glance.
Gao Yuan couldn't help being surprised when he looked at this spectacular stone wall standing in front of him.
His understanding of the ancient civilization that ruled the Northern Territory in that ancient year was almost entirely derived from the descriptions in a few words in the "Northern Territory Scenery", with labels such as 'ancient years' and 'sacrifice'. Gao Yuan took it for granted.
This put a layer of backward and ignorant cave primitive filter on this civilization.
But the facts in front of him broke the stereotype in his mind. Although this stone wall has gone through countless years, its appearance is still better than that of Qingyuan Town, a large market town with a radius of thousands of miles. This shows that this
The glory of ancient civilization back then.
In the center of the stone brick wall, facing the passage, there is an unusually thick double stone door of the same color as the stone brick wall. This stone door is about three meters high and nearly four meters wide. The lines engraved on the door are combined together, which seems to be some kind of
Unknown totem.
At this time, most of the stone door on the right has been broken into pieces. Through the huge hole in the stone door, which is as big as a person, and with the light emitted by the moonlight talisman, a deep corridor can be seen.
With a flick of his wrist, Zheng Song threw the moonlight talisman, which consumed nearly half of its energy, deep into the corridor through the stone door with a force of skill. A mysterious cave came into view amid the bright fluorescent light.
The reason why it is said to be mysterious is that the surface of the cave is covered with a layer of gray light curtain like a barrier. This layer of light curtain is like a thick layer of frosted glass, blocking all sight lines from peering into the cave.
"That's it." Zheng Song turned to Gao Yuan and said, and then without waiting for Gao Yuan's response, he stepped through the gap in the stone door and walked straight towards the depths of the passage.
Gao Yuan checked several commonly used talismans in several hidden bags on the spot, then reached out and touched the storage jade pendant on his chest, took out two bottles of Heqi Pills, pulled out the wax seals and poured them all out.
Put it into the empty secret bag on the top left.
Then without further delay, he imitated Zheng Song's movements, stepped over the gap in the stone door, and entered the square passage behind the stone door that was made of unknown materials and without any gaps in the entire body.
