Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter 120 Nine: Clues

Surrounded by suffocating thick smoke, screaming and tumbling vines, in the midst of the fire, the temple where Shen Ye and others sheltered was really like a pure land, keeping them safe.

Behind them were the long-dead beasts and the woman who had been dissected. In front, after several people took turns eating and resting, they finally returned to silence.

I don't know how long it has passed, maybe a day, maybe half a day, on this ghost mountain where time and space are disordered, the scorching sun is still shining, and there is no trace of it ever setting.

When the temperature of the land did not burn the soles of their feet, the four of them walked out of the temple, and saw that the steaming land had turned into a forest of scorched black ashes, which looked a little bleak under the sun.As for the pure white temple, the periphery has long been smoky black.

A fire not only broadens the field of vision, but also kills all crises in the cradle in advance.So when the four of them walked to the end of the third floor without any trouble, and saw the other side of the ghost mountain, they couldn't help but frowned.

Standing here, you can see the rippling blue sea water, the second layer of the ghost mountain under your feet is also reduced to ashes, and the first layer of vitality comes into view.

It's come to an end.

But the tomb is still missing.

Xia Yi lowered his head and thought, did they miss anything along the way?

Le Wuyi suggested: "Well... shall we go to the forest?"

Xie Yi looked at the steaming ashes, and also frowned in thought.

Such a ghost mountain, a treasure passed down by the islanders by word of mouth, should not be just groundless rumors.

Could it be that the entrance to the tomb is really somewhere in this forest?

Shen Ye's complexion was also not good, as long as he thought that they were all just staying on the surface of the tomb along the way, his mood would not be good.

But in any case, they cannot give up halfway.

Shen Ye nodded and said, "Scatter and look for them."

Other than that, there is no other way for the time being.

The crisis was over, and in order to save time, the four of Shen Ye really walked in four directions this time, not forgetting to observe the ground along the way.

From time to time, a few sparks would burst out of the scorched tree trunk, and when the wind blew, it would scatter into dust and fall with a "crack".

Beating and beating all the way, the ground is solid, and there is no tunnel.

When the four met again, they all shook their heads with ugly expressions.

Shen Ye said concisely: "Look again."

A blanket search is currently the only thing that can be done.But even if the four of them spread out, the third floor of the ghost mountain was still too big for them.What's more, there may be a tunnel leading to the tomb in this forest, so what about the second floor?There are also woods there, and the dangers that were once rife are even more dangerous.

After coming down again, Xie Yi stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the second floor that was also scorched black under his feet.If you find nothing here, you must go back to the second floor.

Looking behind, Le Wuyi and Xia Yi leaned over to search carefully. Even Shen Ye didn't care about maintaining his demeanor, and squatted down to search carefully.

Looking in front of him, the bare forest below is almost barren, except for the two boulders that have been so smoked that they cannot see the color, there are no traces of man-made.It is even more embarrassing than the third floor, at least there are still temples left here.

It's a pity that there are no organs inside the temple. Although it's a pity, for the four of them at this moment, the temple is really just a decoration.

Xie Yi sighed, and was about to turn around and change direction, but he was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned around to look at his feet.

At this moment, all the trees on the second floor were burned, and the field of vision was so wide, but there was one thing that should not be invisible.

Xie Yi glanced back and forth, where about the waterfall and altar?

The waterfall on the second floor is more than two meters wide, and the altar can even include a pond. Even after the fire, there should be no traces.

Where Xie Yi was standing, he could clearly see the two huge stone balls, but the altar and waterfall had indeed disappeared without a trace.

Seeing the weirdness, Xie Yi felt his mind churning, thoughts flocking to him.

The ancient Turks worshiped martial arts. Compared with the third level, which is obviously the evil god believed by foreign monks, the second level is the Goddess of War, which represents the worship of force.

There is no one on the ghost mountain, but inside the altar, there are countless monsters.Thinking about it now, it can be regarded as concentrating all traces on the mountain on the second floor.

The source of the waterfall does not come from the third floor, it almost falls from the sky.

What falls from heaven can be a gift to the gods, and the worship of force is endless.

The blessed place bestowed by the gods is perfect for burial after death.

Xie Yi felt that he no longer had doubts, not to mention that even if he failed, he should give it a try.He hurriedly turned to Shen Ye, called Le Wuyi and Xia Yi over, and told his guesses one by one.

And some illusions, once exposed, are full of loopholes.

Instead of wasting time here, give it a try.

Shen Ye made a decisive decision, and the four immediately turned around and walked back.

The fire burned almost half of the mountain, but on the second level, the ash had cooled.Xie Yi and the others walked forward quickly along the dry road that was crushed by huge boulders. After a while, the familiar roar filled their ears again.

The waterfall falling from the sky is majestic. Because there are no trees to cover it, the water vapor diffuses, and a film is covered on the burnt ash.But from a hundred meters away, this scene is invisible.It's as if there is an invisible wall blocking it, and only when you get close can you see its true face.

It's hard to see his true face from a hundred meters away, let alone standing on the third floor of Ghost Mountain.

Back here again, the four of them were filled with emotion.What is certain is that the waterfall and pool are indeed strange.

"I knew it earlier, I would have dived a little more before." Le Wuyi said with emotion.

Le Wuyi and Xia Yi fell into the pool earlier and didn't check carefully, so they didn't find anything except the statue of the Goddess of War.

Thinking back now, I don't know how deep the pool is, or whether there are other creatures in the pool.

It is indeed a pity to waste an opportunity.

Xia Yi touched Le Wuyi's head as a comfort.In his opinion, there is no need to study it carefully, but to know how similar this pool is to the one on the first floor, it is inevitable to ignore its differences.

Shen Ye and Xie Yi walked near the altar, but they were surprised to find that the blood-red pool water had become clear again?

The sticky surface of the pool, which seemed to be water but not water, dissipated the blood red and was so clean that people were not used to it.

What would it be like underwater on a calm pool surface without ripples?

Shen Ye and Xie Yi looked at each other, Shen Ye said: "You stay here, I'll go down and have a look."

"A Ye?" Xie Yi obviously disagreed, "I'll go with you."

Shen Ye didn't say a word, but just glanced at Xie Yi with deep meaning.

Xie Yi was taken aback, he hesitated when he thought of something, and finally he could only compromise: "Then be careful."

Shen Ye nodded, and then turned to his disciple Sun Yi who was lamenting the strangeness of the pond water: "Le Wuyi, come down with me."

"Ah?" Le Wuyi was taken aback, pointing at himself and said, "Grand Master? Me?"

Shen Ye's tone remained unchanged: "Who else could it be if it wasn't you?"

"Oh." Le Wuyi did not doubt that he was there, as soon as he stepped on the altar, Xia Yi said first: "Senior Shen, let me go down with you."

"Yi Ze?"

Shen Ye remained silent, but raised his eyebrows when he looked at Xia Yi, with an expression like that.

Xia Yi, on the other hand, was quite calm and just smiled.

Leaving Xie Yi and Le Wuyi on top was just to prevent accidents.Shen Ye and Xia Yi got ready, and they jumped into the pool.

There were no ripples on the surface of the pool, and after swallowing the figures of Shen Ye and Xia Yize, there were only two huge holes left on the surface.

On the other side of the altar, the water from the waterfall is still flowing, covering the surface of the pool with layers of "white gauze".This miraculous picture is really never tired of seeing.

Seeing Shen Ye and Xia Yi disappear in front of his eyes, Le Wuyi felt worried in his heart. He looked at Xie Yi: "Master, Grand Master and Yi will be fine, right?" It's a pity that Grand Master said that two people are enough.

Xie Yi sighed: "We are right here, just wait quietly."

Le Wuyi could only nod.

On the other side, Shen Ye and Xia Yize, whose whole bodies were covered by the weird pool water, had just submerged in the pool, and when they looked up again, the figures of Xie Yi and Le Wuyi were gone.Except for the milky white jade-like water surface, nothing else can be seen.

The feeling of the two being trapped in the pool is also very strange, as if the sky and the earth are boundless, and the chaos has not yet opened, and the two are floating in the boundless and endless void.

Shen Ye made a downward gesture to Xia Yi beside him, Xia Yi nodded, and the two went downstream together.

After a distance of four or five meters, the statue of the Goddess of War loomed in front of my eyes.Still holding the sword in her hand, she looked at the endless void with a smile on her face.

Is this the bottom of the pool?

Shen Ye and Xia Yi came to the vicinity of the goddess statue, and they really stepped on the ground.Just looking at the bottom, it is still boundless and the same nothingness as the whole body, it seems that you just stepped on the membrane, as long as you put your feet hard, you can continue to dive.

Xia Yi drew out his sword and stabbed at his foot, but seeing that the tip of the sword stayed where it was, he shook his head at Shen Ye: the bottom is extremely hard, and it is difficult to break through it with force.

Shen Ye frowned slightly, stretched out his hand, but lifted the goddess statue up.In this pool, the buoyancy is very strong, Shen Ye just had a skillful effort to lift the stone statue over his head.

It's just that the bottom of the stone statue is solid.

Looking at the place where the stone statue was placed, Xia Yi stepped forward and knocked. Although the sound was hard to come out, the solid feeling was not fake.

Seeing Xia Yi shook his head again, Shen Ye could only put the stone statue back in place.

Did they all guess wrong?

Shen Ye didn't give up, and pointed to the side, Xia Yi would agree, and the two dispersed to swim to the edge of the pool.

What I thought was a small pond, turned out to be a small pond.It didn't take long for the two of them to find out the bottom of the whole pond: it was no more than six meters deep and no more than eight meters long.However, compared to the altar above, this pool is still much larger.

Shen Ye slashed at the seemingly empty pool wall with a sword, and sure enough, the sword bounced back, and it was difficult to penetrate in the slightest.

Is it really wrong?

Shen Ye didn't think so.The pool wall feels cold and hard, without lines or gaps, and at first glance, there is only chaos.If he can't touch the essence, he only feels that the space ahead is still infinite.

There should be something that confuses the audience, otherwise, why bother to create such a scene that seems real and illusory?

Shen Ye frowned and thought, while Xia Yi was also deliberating.

As a result, both of them set their sights on the smiling goddess.

Shen Ye looked at Xia Yize, who nodded solemnly.

Sure enough, I thought of a place to go.

But also, in this pool with nothing, there is indeed nothing else to buy except this goddess statue.

Holding up the goddess statue, Shen Ye and Xia Yi swam back.

Therefore, when Xie Yi and Le Wuyi waited outside for a while, they were a little surprised to see Shen Ye and Xia Yi returning.

Le Wuyi was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed: "Yi Ze, Grand Master, have you noticed something strange?"

Xie Yi looked at the goddess statue held in Shen Ye's arms: "You guys are..."

Shen Ye said: "Just take it up and try."

The four knew that the stone statue could not leave the water, so Shen Ye handed the goddess statue to Xie Yi, and then returned to the shore with Xia Yi.

The strange thing is that the two of them seemed to have never entered the water. When they came up, there was no trace of water on their bodies, not to mention water drops.But the four of them knew that if the stone statue was kept away from the pool, the waterfall would return to normal, and by then, they would all be drenched completely.

So what is the key to this stone statue?

Xie Yi looked at the goddess statue, and finally stopped his gaze on the blood sword.

The blood sword is made of a special material, not owned by the stone statue itself, so Xie Yi stretched out his hand to take it off, but as soon as he touched it, he felt a pain in his fingertips, but he was inadvertently scratched by the blade.

The blood that came out disappeared on the surface of the sword in a short while. Xie Yi did not withdraw his hand, but just looked at the goddess statue in a daze.

Shen Ye had already talked about what happened underwater, and when he lowered his head, he saw Xie Yi in a daze, he squatted down: "Xie Yi, what's wrong?"

Xie Yi said: "I was just thinking about the relationship between this stone statue and the altar."

What is the only clue?

The inside of the stone statue does not look like there is an organ, if he is wrong, then...

At this time, Le Wuyi suddenly came over: "Master, since the ancient Turks worshiped martial arts, why don't we smash this stone statue?"

Le Wuyi just couldn't see that his master was depressed, but when he saw Xie Yi's eyes brighten, he retreated a little: "Master, I just said it casually."

Xie Yi smiled: "No, it means you are right."

This is the easiest way, why not try it?Even if it is not successful, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and soil. If an accident happens, there will be a glimmer of life instead.

Shen Ye has always supported Xie Yi's decision, but Le Wuyi was the only one who was worried.

He was really just talking casually.

Xia Yi comforted, "Don't worry, it's the same, we should try."

Le Wuyi was a little anxious, but looked at Xia Yi with disbelief, can it really work?Before he had time to say anything, he watched his Grand Master take out his sword and slashed at the stone statue.

With a sound of "bang", the stone statue was moved half an inch, Xie Yi's hands were numb from the shock, but the stone statue itself was safe and sound.

Shen Ye frowned, the material was hard enough, he looked at Xie Yi: "Xie Yi, are you alright?"

Xie Yi was helpless, he didn't even have a cut, so how could something happen?But in my heart, it is also sweet.

Then Shen Ye tried a few more times, but no matter how hard he tried, the stone statue would not move.

Because the stone statue is invulnerable to swords and swords, so the four of them gave up?

Naturally not.

For the last time, under Xie Yi's surprised gaze, Shen Ye simply took over the stone statue and slammed it against the wall of the pool.

"Ding—" It was like the sound of jade and stone hitting each other, which was pleasant to the ear.

This time, under the surprised eyes of Xie Yi and others, the stone statue finally shattered.

"Success." Xie Yi was overjoyed, and saw the stone statue instantly dissipate into dust, while the blood sword fell from Shen Ye's hand.

With a "plop", the blood sword fell into the water.

Immediately afterwards, the waterfall really roared, the water vapor all over the sky returned to water flow, and the vast soup poured down.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was pouring rain. The four of Shen Ye standing by the altar had no time to escape, and they were soaked from top to bottom in just a moment.

The four of them were about to retreat, but before they could run down the altar, the rain stopped inadvertently.

The flowing waterfall stopped abruptly.

Xie Yi's broken hair stuck to his ear, looking at Shen Ye who was also in a bit of a mess, while Le Wuyi and Xia Yi stood together, also a little dazed.

Le Wuyi didn't even bother to lift the hair on his forehead, and his eyes were full of disbelief when he looked up: "Meow, where is the waterfall? Why is it gone?"
