"Why?" Qi Lingshu took the glazed mirror and said, "Master, Master is still in the tomb."

Meng Qinghe sighed: "Since you entered the Forbidden Forest, the things you have encountered are not in line with common sense. Not in line with common sense means unpredictability, do you know what unpredictability means?" He paused and said, "It means Danger."

Qi Lingshu pondered for a moment, and said: "Uncle, please go and ask Uncle Yuan Ji to send someone to rescue. I will go to the tomb first to find my master." He looked at Qi Yin and the others, "You wait for me here."

"At least it's the friendship of wearing open crotch pants together," Yun Zhi smiled and hooked Qi Lingshu's neck, "How could I leave you?"

It's obviously a matter of concern, but Yunzhi is extremely embarrassed when he speaks out.Qi Lingshu was somewhat resistant to his shamelessness, coldly dropped his hand, and stood a little further away from him.

Qi Yin also raised her hand, "I'll go too."

After all, the bastard is still his father, so I still have to go and see.

Zhaoming has always followed the junior uncle, and he will go wherever the junior uncle goes, and he also said that he would go with him.Fang Xinxiao was still thinking about Brother Lan, whose life and death were uncertain, but he couldn't get out for a while. The flood rushed into the tomb, and maybe it also rushed out of the gap next to it, so he also said to go.

In this way, everyone has gone.Everyone agreed to look for Qi Shenwei while looking for the exit. At the same time, they must go together and not act alone.So I decided to go to the front and walk along the embankment. The underground river is not a straight line, but has a sharp inflection point. The black water blinks like a microwave pupil, and flows silently into the silent darkness.They crossed the bridge and reached the other side of the river.

The lamp talisman brightly illuminated the world, and Qi Yin immediately opened his eyes wide.This place can hardly be called a burial chamber, but a palace.The ground is paved with ice-cracked and intertwined pattern floor tiles, and the patterns carved on them are complicated and have a kind of ancient and solemn meaning.The rock walls on all sides have been ground very flat, with colorful petroglyphs engraved on them, many of which have faded.A large bronze tripod was placed in the middle, the tripod was engraved with runes, and the mouth of the tripod was emitting a faint glow. Above it were twelve small knives with golden handles. The sharp edge of the blade was shining with a cold light like a star.

"It's so grand, isn't it the tomb of your Wufang Patriarch?" Qi Yin clicked his tongue.

No one paid any attention to him, and everyone surrounded the twelve golden knives curiously, the magnificent golden knives spinning in the light.

Qi Lingshu frowned and said, "Cross gauntlet?"

"What?" Qi Yin asked.

Qi Lingshu frowned and said nothing, Yun Zhi explained for him: "The cross-hand guard knife is a legendary artifact, a knife that only the gods can control. Once pierced into flesh and blood, it cannot be pulled out without the owner's will. There. In ancient times, gold, black silver and bronze were used as the three major metals. The cross guard knife uses gold as the handle and black silver as the blade, which is very powerful. Look at this cross sword, we don’t have such a sword in the Central Plains, Qing Heshi Uncle once speculated that this is the sword of the gods in southern Xinjiang." He rubbed his chin, "But this sword is only recorded in ancient books, whether there is a god or not is another matter, this is guaranteed to be imitated by the owner of the tomb according to the records."

Meng Qinghe sighed: "Nephew Yunzhi didn't sleep in my class, he should be rewarded."

Yun Zhi smiled and said, "Where is it?"

Meng Qinghe lowered his voice and said: "Zhu Yaomao will be transferred to prison every moment. At that time, I will let Qingming Yirong follow. After entering the Forbidden Forest, I will wait for the opportunity to go to Yuanwei's cemetery to find you. If you find Yuanwei, go back to the other side of the river and wait for Qingming. "

"Master, you are reliable," Yun Zhi sighed, "If it were my master, he would already be burning paper for me right now."

After watching the knife, everyone scattered in the hall to look for any gaps.The silence in the dark hall was a little scary, and the dim golden light of the lamp talismans reflected on everyone's faces, as if they were covered with a golden mask.Qi Yin touched his cold hand, always feeling that someone was watching him in the dark.Unconsciously walking to the edge of the petroglyphs, the ancient colors come into view.

The color of the rock paintings is very thin, nothing more than black rock as the base, and then decorated with vermilion and white.The first painting is of a full moon night, with the solid black of the rock representing the night and a blob of white paint representing the moon.A group of people sketched in simple strokes kneeled on the ground, and some of them had horns.There are piles of offerings of melons and fruits in front of them, and they are bowing down to the moon devoutly.In the second picture, the moon in the sky stretches out a zigzag light ladder to the ground, and everyone dances happily.Qi Yin turned to the other wall, looked at the third painting, took a look, and immediately opened her eyes wide.

In front of the moon, at the top of the light ladder, stands a tall and straight deer shadow, with flowers on the antlers and spring wind around its hooves.It looks down at all the creatures on the ground, as if the king is in the world.

It's a white deer.

"Look at the dome!" Fang Xinxiao suddenly shouted.

Everyone raised their heads, Fang Xinxiao released the lamp talisman, and the lamp talisman floated up faintly, illuminating the dark dome.A huge colored painting was painted on the roof of the dome-like temple. The deep and smooth lines outline a tall and straight white deer. The moon that occupies almost half of the night sky is gone.Countless ants-like creatures crawled on a corner of the petroglyph, kneeling to send the white deer away.

"This is not the tomb of Patriarch Wufang," Meng Qinghe sighed softly, "This is the tomb of a witch."

--------

Ice Sea and Sky Abyss.

Fulan dived silently, and the silent water waves enveloped him, the place was icy cold, even if the barrier was opened, it was so cold that it seemed to be frozen instantly, the black cat was shivering in his arms.There was absolute darkness in the waves, it was too deep here, it was just dawn, and the light above was not strong enough to penetrate the deep water.

He looked down at the unfathomable deep sea below, and released the small fish.Countless light blue flying fish gushed out of him, and swam their tails into the silent abyss. The shallow fluorescent light illuminated the square-inch sea area, and he saw the huge bronze pillar standing under his feet.It was countless bronze pillars arranged in a square array, the bottom of which was submerged in the silt of the ice sea, and the part exposed to the sea water was already as high as skyscrapers.

Babel.

The ancient mortal monsters believed that the higher the house was built, the closer the gods would be. They built these bronze pillars to get closer to the gods.If there are blasphemers, the witch will take off their heads and embed them in the bronze pillar when casting it, and the copper water pouring head will be integrated with the copper pillar.As far as the eyes can see, many dark blue heads can be seen, like solemn statues.

Fulan dived slowly, her toes landed on top of the bronze pillar, overlooking the entire ruins of the miracle.

Ahead lay the huge wreckage of double eaves, as well as beams and pillars entwined with seaweed. The main body of the temple had already been buried under the silt.The black cat approached a huge bronze pillar, and the small fish hovered to illuminate it.It saw that there were densely packed golden wrong books engraved on it, and the golden paint had long since faded, turning into a gloomy waxy yellow.

The black cat slowly read the words on it:

"Jie Jie White Deer, disobedient to heaven.

Both rebellion and procrastination, the destiny is guilt.

The emperor has eight directions, and the prestige is opposite.

The bells and drums are shining brightly, which is a sign of God.

The chime pipe will general, and the white deer will collapse.

The heaven and the earth return to the Ming, and the gods return together. "

"This is probably an ancient battlefield," the black cat explained. "There are no gold mistakes on the other bronze pillars, and they were probably engraved after the war." "Emperor" refers to Fuxi. The gods felled the white deer. When the chimes sounded, they won the victory." The black cat touched the dim writing with its cat's paw, "Our god is dead, fool. The great god is formed by the aura of heaven and earth. Returning to heaven and earth, there is neither a body nor a reincarnation, so our southern border has long since lost its gods."

"Is it bad?" Fulan asked in a low voice.

"It's terrible," the black cat said in a low voice. "It means that when we worship the great god and make a wish, the wishes are all told to the air. No god listens to your wish, and no god fulfills your wish. What Xiaoyin said Yes, we found him by luck."

Fulan didn't answer, the black cat turned his head, this quiet man was looking at the dark abyss, he didn't know what he was thinking, he looked absent-minded.After a while, more herrings came out of him, and the black cat could see that he had used this technique to the extreme.

The small fish silently spread to the entire ice sea, Fulan's eyes shrank suddenly.

Heartbeat, the whole sea resounds with heartbeat.

At the bottom of the sea of ​​ice, there are countless vigorous heartbeats. They are buried deep under the mud, and the heartbeats are ancient and solemn, like bells and drums.On the east side of the sea of ​​ice, countless faint heartbeats sounded muffled, like cymbals wrapped in cloth, so faint that they could hardly be heard.Xiaoyu passed through those heartbeats, and he saw frosty, cold and pale faces.They closed their eyes, the low temperature suppressed their blood flow and heartbeat, allowing them to fall into a peaceful long sleep.These things have strange shapes, the upper body is human, and the lower body is deformed, and some have sharp claws, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a human or a demon.

Xiaoyu didn't stop, and continued to sneak. On the north side of the ice sea, there was another huge heart like thunder. It belonged to a young dragon. The last heart like this died under his knife.

The three heartbeats are like an ensemble of different musical instruments, and the dark water waves are slightly rippling, as if vibrating with them.Suddenly, among all the heartbeats, one heartbeat broke out and was caught by the little fish.It was a hard heartbeat, sinking under the icy silt, among thousands of heartbeats, only it resonated with Fulan's heartbeat, as if it was an old friend who hadn't seen for many years.

It is calling Fulan.

Fu Lan lowered her eyes and stretched out her hand.

The vast water waves and the mud at the bottom of the abyss suddenly shook, and a black lacquered thing broke out of the seabed and rose into the water waves.It floated towards Fulan at an even speed, and finally stopped in front of Fulan.

It was a horizontal knife with a black sheath, it had a strange cross blade, and the jet-black scabbard was without any decoration, so black that it seemed to absorb all the light.Fulan grasped the handle of the saber, Shen Xiong's heartbeat came from the body of the saber, pulsating in Fulan's palm.After a while, the scabbard fell off automatically, and a cold streamer poured out like mercury.

The black cat stared at the knife and said in amazement: "This knife is forged from Xuanyin. Xuanyin is not stained by dust and mud. You can see that it has been buried in the ground for so many years, and there is no mud at all after it comes out. It must not be a common weapon. , I don’t know what the origin is. Is the cross sword a sword from our southern border?”

Fu Lan called out its name in a low voice, "Cross Cut Bones."

The black cat's eyes widened, "How do you recognize it?"

Fu Lan shook her head lightly.

He didn't know, he just recognized the knife, and the moment he held the handle, it was like meeting old friends again.

He put the bone cutting knife behind his back, turned around, and swam towards the edge of the ice sea.

"Where are we going now?" asked the black cat.

They reached the rock wall of the sea of ​​ice, and there were countless holes in front of them, which looked like a huge beehive, and each hole led to a bottomless darkness.Numerous small fish passed through the rippling water barrier and swam into the cave. A complicated map appeared in Fu Lan's mind. The caves are connected to the caves, and the caves are connected to the caves.Numerous Wufang disciples walked on the spider web, and the white collars were embroidered with broken plum blossoms, indicating that they belonged to one of the four seats.In the middle of the spider web was a huge golden light circle, and eight men sat around in meditation.

This is the cobweb of Tianyuan, where the secret of Wufang lies.

The black cat grabbed Fulan's shoulders, and one person and one cat sank into the cave together.

"Go fight." Fu Lan said.

"Witch's tomb?" Fang Xinxiao asked, "How can there be a witch's tomb in the world?"

"You don't know something," Meng Qinghe said, "in ancient times, the territory of southern Xinjiang was much larger than it is today. According to the description in "Hainai Nanjiang Zhi", today's Wufang is the northernmost point of southern Xinjiang at that time. Here It is not surprising that the tomb of the ancient witch Zhu is buried."

Qi Yin thought of the witch curse in southern Xinjiang that Master Mao had said, and felt a little uneasy. He said, "Master, if we trespassed on someone's tomb, will they bear a grudge against us? Get us a witch curse or something."

Meng Qinghe said with a low smile: "As long as you don't mess with things, such as the cross glove knife, I think the seniors won't care about it."

"Don't worry, I heard that the White Deer God only eats the hearts and livers of children," Zhaoming said with a smile, "You are so tall, even if you want to be a sacrifice, people will not look down on you."

"..." Qi Yin frowned imperceptibly, "The white deer doesn't eat children's hearts and livers, those are just rumors. On the contrary, according to the legends in the demon's native land, it especially likes children. If a child gets lost, it will Lead them home."

Zhao Ming was quite unconvinced and said: "Where did you know? The evil god that the demon believes in, you still want to speak for it?"

It didn't make sense with Wu Fang and the idiots, Qi Yin rolled his eyes, turned his head and ignored him.Seeing him like this, Zhaoming felt a sense of indignation, and wanted to say something more.Qi Lingshu frowned and said, "Shut up."

Zhaoming reluctantly shut his mouth, but Yunzhi said with a casual smile: "The evil gods that demons believe in? I'm afraid not." He pouted towards the dome, "Look, those with horns represent demons, and those without horns It should be a person, right?"

"That's right," Meng Qinghe said in a gentle voice, "In ancient times, the barrier between humans and monsters was not as deep as it is today. There are also many human races living in southern borders, and they worship the White Deer God together with monsters."

"Elder Qinghe, does the white deer live on the moon?" Fang Xinxiao opened his eyes curiously.

"Accurately speaking, it is the sky of the moon, which is the residence of the Great God of White Deer." Qinghe said, ""Hai Nei Nan Jiang Zhi" records that every night when the moon is full, the great witch and believers will put up sacrifices and wait for the Great God of White Deer Look at the second petroglyph, the people in the corner are dancing, it is not a simple dance, it is a dance to welcome the gods. Only the dance of the gods can welcome the gods and descend the moonlight ladder. I heard that the dance of welcoming the gods is solemn Miao Li, Mu Ran Shao Ya, it's a pity that the dance steps have been lost, we don't have this blessing."

"Wait," Qi Lingshu pointed to the dome and suddenly said, "What is that?"

Looking in the direction he pointed, Qi Yin found several thin scratches on the colored painting.They are of different lengths, and they form a group of five, as if they were grasped by human hands.Yun Zhi snapped his fingers, more lamp symbols floated up, and the whole dome glowed brightly, everyone was stunned, the top was covered with scratches.

"What crawled here?" Zhao Ming asked, "Monster?"

There must be some other monster trapped here, Qi Yin frowned, wondering what happened to that dog sword fairy, Qing Shi said that he was half dead and half alive, so maybe he was injured by a monster?

At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the end of the hall, which seemed especially abrupt in the silent darkness.Everyone was startled, Qi Yin hurriedly took out the Guimei sword, although it was rusty, it was a sword anyway, and it could be used for self-defense.

Qi Lingshu lit the lamp talisman, and the lamp talisman floated in the direction of the voice.The dim lights gradually dissipated the darkness, and they saw a thin, withered figure hiding behind a red-painted pillar, seeming to be staring at them faintly.
