Chapter 219 Ice Cave Tomb
Chapter 219 Ice Cave Tomb
"Turns out there is a back door here." Little Jinzi and the little squirrel ran out first.
The Great Elder took another look at the twelve dried corpses in the hall, then turned and walked towards the back door.
The two walked out of the back door and saw that the ground was paved with bluestone slabs and there were reliefs on the stone walls on both sides.
Xie Jinglan was about to take a closer look at the relief on the wall when she suddenly felt a strong evil aura.
"There is indeed someone in here." The Great Elder's face changed drastically and he flew forward.
"Great Elder, be careful..." Xie Jinglan followed closely behind him, and she felt a familiar breath.
If someone really sneaked into this forbidden area, how did they get in? The door of the temple in front is so dusty, it must have been opened recently.
Could it be that this person has been here for ten or twenty years?
At this time, Xiao Jinzi in front stopped and asked, "Is there a formation set up here?"
"Let me see." Xie Jinglan observed the formation, raised her hand and made a hand seal, and mysterious hand seals flew out from her fingertips.
Only a crisp "hum" sound was heard, and the formation turned into starlight and dissipated into nothingness.
Xie Jinglan breathed a sigh of relief, but when she saw the scene ahead clearly, she couldn't help but frown again.
I saw that the corridor in front became smaller, about four feet wide, and it was pitch black inside. The night pearl on the left wall was the last one.
There are two stone pillars standing on both sides, and on each pillar is a lifelike dragon circling, with its body tightly wrapped around the stone pillar, as if it will take off into the air and pounce on the intruders at any time.
As she approached, she scanned the passage with her magical eyes and found that it led downwards.
Thinking of the "dong dong" sound heard outside, there must be a secret room or something under the ground, because the spirit crystal stone has not been found yet, and it is impossible that there are only the twelve corpses in the temple.
"Let's go down." Xie Jinglan said to the Great Elder, and then went down the passage first.
After going down at least fifty steps, I saw light ahead.
Little Jinzi had already run to the front, "Master, there are ice caves underneath."
Xie Jinglan followed and was stunned again. She saw that this passage seemed to be artificially carved out of ice and snow. It was square and the ice crystals shone brighter than night pearls.
But the cold down there is even worse.
"The ancestor of the Xuan Ji Sect was such a powerful figure. He actually found such a precious land. If the corpse is placed here, it will probably never rot." Xiao Jinzi marveled.
"Quiet." Xie Jinglan stared at the long and deep corridor in front of her. Her face, which was originally as calm as water, became cold in an instant.
Under her magical eyes that could see through the secrets of the world, she saw wisps of black air floating in the air, like ghosts. If she didn't have magical eyes, she wouldn't be able to detect it at all.
"This is demonic energy. Could someone be practicing magic here?" Xiao Jinzi asked in surprise.
Xie Jinglan turned around and saw that the Great Elder also had a solemn expression on his face. It was obvious that he had also seen the black air.
The two exchanged glances.
There is indeed something wrong in this forbidden area.
Xiao Jinzi slipped into the space to avoid making any noise.
Anyone who can enter here is definitely an extraordinary person.
Xie Jinglan and the Great Elder held their breath and walked forward carefully.
The further you go, the thicker the black air becomes, and in the end you can see it without the need for a magic eye.
After turning a corner, there are two forked roads.
Xie Jinglan observed the two roads and saw black air emanating from both roads. She didn't know which direction the person was heading.
"Lady Lan, let's split up and look for him. If you find anything, don't alert him until I get here," the elder instructed her.
"I understand. You too, be careful." Xie Jinglan replied to the elder and headed towards the path on the left.
The Great Elder looked at her from behind with a hint of worry in his eyes, but judging by the current situation, the two of them could only search separately.
I just hope she can listen to him and not act on her own.
Xie Jinglan walked about five or six hundred meters and heard the sound of "bang bang bang..." again, and even the ground began to shake slightly.
"Master, we can now confirm that there's something wrong with the path we're taking." Little Jinzi reminded her.
Xie Jinglan walked even more lightly. The little squirrel had not returned since entering the ice cave. She wondered where it had gone.
After turning another big corner, the passage ahead suddenly became wider again.
However, a horrifying scene appeared...
Down here, there is actually an ice cave specially used to store corpses!
It is estimated to be about ten square meters wide. On both sides of the passage, there are platforms about three feet high, as if to display the things placed on the platforms. On these long platforms, the bodies are neatly arranged.
If she had not lived three lifetimes, she would have been frightened if she suddenly saw such a strange scene.
She looked closely at the bodies, and they were just like those in the temple, sitting quietly cross-legged here. Perhaps because they were in the ice cave, the bodies were well preserved. There were both men and women, and all of them had peaceful faces, as if they were just sleeping.
The clothes they wore were made of strange material. Not only did they not show any signs of decay, they even glowed faintly.
Xie Jinglan walked over slowly. The long ice cave, which stretched as far as the eye could see, was filled with corpses, at least six or seven hundred of them.
Thinking about the passage that the Great Elder took, it should be the same over there.
These people are all elders or above in Xuan Ji Sect, with strength above the Golden Core Realm. Over thousands of years, there are more than a thousand bodies left.
Walking to the back, we entered a large ice house, about a hundred square meters. There were also bodies displayed inside, but there was a spirit tablet in front of each person.
Xie Jinglan approached a body and saw the words written on the spirit tablet: Yao Yaoyang, the 37th generation leader of Xuan Ji Sect.
She was surprised and looked at the body next to her. The tablet read: The 36th generation leader of Xuan Ji Sect, Cai Si.
It turns out that the bodies placed in this ice house are all the successive leaders of the Xuan Ji Sect.
It's a pity that their birth date and the year of their death are not written on it. Otherwise, we can know how many years they lived.
Xie Jinglan bowed respectfully to the bodies.
"Please rest assured, as a disciple of the sect, I will not let anyone destroy the Xuan Ji Sect."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and left.
After walking about another mile, we saw stairs going up again and walked out of the ice cave.
When I came out to take a look, I saw that there were also night pearls here, but they were covered with strange rocks, and there were stone statues standing among them. These stone statues had different shapes and were lifelike, but each of them had a hideous face and bared teeth, which made people feel chilly when they saw them.
Seeing the black air visible to the naked eye, Xie Jinglan's face turned cold and she flew towards the depths.
