Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Forbidden Land

The white jade stone steps are very long, we walked for about half an hour, and it is estimated that when we reached the bottom of the lake, a large area of ​​solid land had already appeared in front of my eyes.What is surprising is that there is actually a huge crystal mine here. Large pieces of crystals of different shapes grow out on the cave roof, stone walls, and the ground. The most commendable thing is that the ground is also a huge crystal stone field, but it is flat. Like a mirror, it seems to be polished by people. Many people let out small exclamations, because no one thought that the so-called forbidden land was just a crystal mine. It seems that many things are better heard than seen. Perhaps this is also the reason why the so-called treasures of the Sky Spirit Clan have been spread.When we stepped into the mirror-like crystal ground, we saw that the huge cave space was full of blue crystal stones.

Longlin whispered to me: "Elder, what is going on here? I feel something is wrong." I was also a little surprised: "It stands to reason that such a mysterious place should at least have something extraordinary, but this is just a crystal mine. I don't see any points that need to be kept secret. Is it just for this mine?" Longlin said: "Impossible. The gold and jewels stored by the Tianling clan are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. To them, this crystal mine is nothing. There must be a bigger secret here." The voice of the voice echoed faintly because the cave was empty and closed.I said: "But the terrain here is not complicated, the space inside the cave is clear at a glance, and there is no place to hide things."

Longlin said: "Elder He has told me about this place more than once, I believe he must know the secrets that exist here, but we can't see it." At this time, Daxue said humanely: "Since the purpose of coming here is to avoid being chased and killed, why bother to understand those meaningless truths? What are you thinking?" Only then did Longlin come to his senses and said: "You are right, I was overthinking." I said: "Anyway, everyone has nothing to do, and it's not wrong to find out the truth. Since you're here, you can't come here in vain."

No one refuted what I said, and I don't know whether it is reasonable or they dare not refute the opinions of the "elders". Anyway, after a moment of silence, Longlin said: "Everyone, look around." The mine is long and narrow, and there are three caves on the opposite side of the jade steps.Long Lin said: "Let's go to the hole in the middle first, don't wander around, if you get lost, you will starve to death here." I said: "You said the question I was going to ask, we can't eat crystals here, right? How long are you going to stay, and how to solve the problem of eating?"

Longlin said: "Since you are here, of course you are prepared, please rest assured, elder." I saw that he was very confident in what he said, so I walked in without thinking too much.After a while, I saw the white jade staircase and walked back, but we obviously didn't turn the corner, we just went straight forward, logically speaking, we shouldn't return to the same place.Long Lin said in a low voice: "Everyone, let's focus on the tricks, it's a bit weird here." The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone drew out their weapons.The three caves formed in front of me were silent and silent, but I couldn't help feeling guilty for fear that a monster would suddenly come out of the cave to eat people, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement.Long Lin said: "Let's go to the hole on the left and try again." After saying that, he stuck a long knife in the ground.

After walking around for a short time, I found that I still returned to the starting point, and the knife was proudly stuck in place, proving to us: "It is indeed back." Longlin frowned more and more, and said: "Go to the left, I can't believe there isn't a single road here." A group of people continued to move towards the last hole. After entering, they felt that the crystals here were different from those in other places, because they were thick and long, and all of them stood upright like sharp swords. The sieve is not available, and the ground is extremely slippery.I said: "Everyone, be careful, don't fall down because the road is slippery here." No one spoke, I vaguely heard a snicker, with a hint of ridicule, I blushed, and pretended I didn't know what to do.

There are clusters of crystal clumps on both sides of the road. The road we walk is getting narrower and more dangerous. A big ax warrior said: "Damn, I knocked everything here with an axe." Long Lin said: "Don't act recklessly, you can't make mistakes here." Before he finished speaking, he saw a bend, and at the end of the bend was a slightly smaller hole, which was finally not the white jade staircase.Different from the other caves, it is no longer a faint blue light. This cave is the kind of blue light that is transmitted, which is much stronger than the natural light of the crystal we have seen.

Longlin clenched the long knife in his hand and said: "Be careful, the crystal can't emit such a strong light." The road here is narrow, we can't rush forward, we can only go forward one by one.Long Lin walked to the entrance of the cave first, and I was right behind him. Through his shoulders, I could see a huge crystal coffin in the middle of the small space inside the cave, and the blue light was just the transmission from the coffin.Longlin frowned and said, "This is a big deal." I said, "What's the matter? I didn't see any danger here." Longlin sighed and said: "That's because you don't understand the ancestral precepts of the Tianling clan at all. Apart from the big rules related to dragons, there are also many small rules. For example, you must not stay in places with strange coffins." It is one of them. Because there must be something unusual in the strange structure of the tomb, and the enemies of the Tianling clan are a group of ghosts. Since ghosts must be related to the tomb, so you must stay away from strange coffins and tombs. Here It is a forbidden place for the Tianling clan in ancient times. Coincidentally, there is such a strange coffin tomb. All of this is by no means a coincidence. I think Elder He may not know the internal situation here, otherwise he would never let us come here of."

I glanced at those big ax warriors, and said: "There is something that I am not convenient to tell the soldiers of the Tianling tribe, but you can't rely on this relationship now, and it is not a violation of the rules to say it. If I don't remember Wrong, there should be a forbidden place in the Holy Land of the Heavenly Spirit Clan, right?" Longlin said: "That's right, that's a huge deep well. It is said that there are very strange things in it. If someone enters rashly, bad things will be released." I nodded and said: "As long as everyone knows, it is also a forbidden place, but after my investigation, I found that there are no strange things in it. There are two reasons for it to be a forbidden place: one is that the well is filled with pain blood. The original road to the bright world, but the demons have not recovered on a large scale, and the danger does not exist in the short term; secondly, there is a very important person there. There's nothing peculiar about it per se."

Longlin frowned and said, "Who is that person?" I shook my head and said: "There is an agreement, not to tell others about his details." Long Lin suddenly realized, nodded and said: "I know who he is now. Brothers of the Big Axe Clan, the elder you have been looking for for many years is in that well." This sentence immediately caused an uproar, especially the fighters of the Big Axe tribe. It seemed that they wished they could go back and look for the Peacock Spirit King immediately.I sighed in my heart that King Ling enjoys such a lofty status among the warriors of my clan. I saw a tall man separate from the crowd and walk in front of me. He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you from all the brothers of our Daxue clan."

Longlin said: "You can only represent yourself now, the big axe of the Tianling clan has long since lost your name." The man laughed and said, "As long as the Spirit King is still there, I don't care about anything." I nodded and said, "So for those so-called forbidden places, we should investigate them first, and don't blindly believe in these things." Longlin said: "The elder taught you the lesson. Maybe we have been living in lies for thousands of years without knowing it. Maybe this place is just a piece of ordinary crystal ore." At this time, someone said loudly: "In this case, let's open the coffin and take a look, maybe we will find something shocking." Long Lin pondered for a while and said: "It was Elder He who told me about this secret path, and it was he who told me not to touch anything lightly after I came in. I can't break my promise to him at the beginning. This is not superstition. I want to tell myself Keep your word." Hearing what he said, no one spoke anymore. After standing silently for a while, someone said: "Since we are not going to lift the coffin, let's go out. We can't even move here, it's too embarrassing." Everyone changed from the front team to the back team, walked out of the cave in one line, and we returned to the stone steps, and everyone sat apart.Longlin took out a celadon gourd that looked like a jug from his clothes and said, "Who wants to drink water?" Could this be the water he prepared?It's just a joke, the volume of the celadon gourd is very small, and if you encounter something that can be drunk, you may drink it in one breath and there will be nothing left.What is ironic is that many people took out small copper bowls from their bodies, asked for water from the dragon scales, and the dragon scales poured them down one by one.Soon I discovered the strange thing, because he filled everyone's bowls with water, but the porcelain pot still had clear water, as if it couldn't be filled, just like the legendary treasure pot.I asked, "Brother Long, how deep is your kettle? You haven't emptied so many bowls." Longlin smiled and said: "This is a unique kettle for the Tianling tribe. In the early stage of the Holy War, humans often hid in secret places for a long time in order to avoid the demons from chasing and killing them, and it was easy to expose and inconvenient to carry a large amount of food and water sources. Later, I don't know who I discovered this special material, and the things made of it can hold a lot of food and water, which is also the most critical factor for the survival of human beings. However, there are not many such things left, and only the elders of the Tianling tribe are qualified Possessed, this is your father's relic." I felt a little sad in my heart, sighed and said: "At least you have seen my father, but I don't have any memory at all. I really hope that time can be turned back so that I can see my biological parents." Longlin said: "The only wish of the elder before his death was that you could become a talent. The hope of revitalizing the long knife clan in the future is all on you. We will risk our lives to help you accomplish this matter." I smiled wryly and said, "I know my own weight, and I definitely don't have such abilities." Longlin looked up to the sky and sighed, but this time he didn't speak. After that, he poured out a lot of food in the shape of porridge from the porcelain pot, and everyone went to find a place to rest after sharing the food.I closed my eyes and tried to recall the appearance of my parents, but there was no image for my reference. They were like a pair of transparent people, with only a general outline and no specific appearance. Suddenly I stood up from the ground, because suddenly there was the fragrance of birds and flowers, the grass in front of me, the green hills in the distance, and I was in the middle, everything became so beautiful.I knew that I had entered a dream again. The difference was that this time there was no bloody killing, no horrible scene of mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.Could it be that the old ancestor's style has changed, and he wants me to experience the beauty of the bright world? Before I could finish the thought, a burst of childish laughter came from behind me. I turned around and saw a young and beautiful mother on the grass, holding a kite in the shape of a phoenix, running on the grassland.Behind her was a baby over one year old, chubby like a meat ball, stumbling and running behind his mother.Not far behind them, a middle-aged man with long hair looked happily at the mother and son standing with each other holding hands. On his left waist hung a long knife wrapped in shark skin. Look, it's my blood-cursing knife, and this person's facial features are very similar to mine. Could it be that he is my father?This surprised me a lot. I was carefully distinguishing his appearance, and I saw four fierce Celestial warriors striding over, one of them was the young Dragon Scale.Long Lin had a beard all over his face at that time, and he looked much stronger than now. One of them walked behind his father and whispered something.The smile on the father's face froze immediately, and he said loudly: "Ah Cai, take Xiao Zhuang to play for a while, I have something to discuss." The mother didn't even turn her head and said: "Go and do your work, I will take my son to play." My father followed the four of them towards the foot of the mountain. I glanced at my mother and immediately followed behind my father.Only a lean man said: "Old Wu, you need to understand this matter." Father said: "There is nothing to think about, I am right about this matter." The thin man said: "No one said you were wrong, it was that woman..." Before he could finish speaking, his father immediately stopped and stared at him, and said word by word: "Brother, this is my family business, A Cai is my woman, Xiao Zhuang is my son, no one can marry them." Mother and child are taken away from me, do you understand?" The thin man said awkwardly: "I understand what you mean, but Wu Zi, there is a reason you have to understand. The reason why everyone let you down is because you are He Jin's descendant, but it is the old man who is going to trouble you this time." The father looked at the blue sky for a long time and said, "No matter what, if I can't even protect my children and women, what kind of face am I born in this world? You go back and tell the old man that the children are innocent and I must protect them." Raise him to adulthood, as for my own offspring, I will definitely have one in the future, you can rest assured him." The thin man said anxiously: "Fifth son, the old man told me himself that God of Flowers has long said that you and this woman have no future, and he will never allow you to live with this woman." The more I listened, the more frightened I became. If this is really He Kangtian, from their dialogue, I'm afraid I'm not his biological child. How embarrassing is this for me?So who is my real father? Father said: "Brother, even if you make up lies to lie to me, you still have to be decent. Wuhuashen can be so boring that he even worries about such things? You are simply unreasonable." The thin man said: "I don't dare to question anyone. I'm here today to bring you this sentence. It's up to you whether you want to listen or not." The father gave him a look of contempt and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it doesn't mean anything to me. I am a man who stands up to the sky. If I can't even protect the woman and child I like, then what am I going to do?" Elder Dao? There is no need to discuss this matter, so you should save some effort." The thin man sighed and said, "You are just a rock, without any twists and turns, forget it, you can persuade him." Then he turned and walked away.Father turned his head to look at Longlin and the three of them and asked, "Do you want me to do such unrighteous and untrustworthy things?" Long Lin said in a low voice: "Brothers have agreed, if the elders need it, we dare to fight with the old bones of the Sky Spirit Clan." His father smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "My good boy, at least I saw you right." However, he frowned again and said, "It's hard to talk about desperately, I think it may not be there yet." Longlin said: "Elder, you haven't been back for a long time, and those people in the clan wish they could eat you. Except for the big axe, the sharp sword and the longbow all advocate killing you to cover up the so-called scandal. I said desperately is not an exaggeration at all. .” The father's face changed drastically: "Really? Are these people even meddling in my family affairs?" Longlin said: "It's a lie to meddle in your family affairs. Their fundamental purpose is to snatch our power. There are also some stubborn old bones. What they mean is..." Longlin stopped talking, cautiously glanced at his father. Father snorted and said, "Could it be that they are talking about my life experience again?" Longlin nodded and said: "That's right, you are not in the clan, there are not one or two people who make a big fuss about this, and the power of the evil generals has grown stronger these years, the Tianling clan was already worried, so things are getting worse and worse. more complicated." The father seemed a little impatient, and said: "I don't want to hear about these things anymore. Anyway, if someone uses this to harm my family and blind him, even if the Five Flower God comes in person, I will not make any concessions. " Longlin said: "I understand what you mean, we will stay here from now on and will not go back." The father shook his hand and said: "What I need is not for everyone to be unlucky together. You should go back, at least let me know something about it." Longlin's expression seemed to be a little hesitant, and he said after a long time: "Elder, or else we'll bring our brothers to seek refuge..." His father didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and angrily said: "If you are my subordinate, it is best not to say such things in the future. Since I am an elder in the Tianling clan, I will not let him down in this life. They can Betray me, but I cannot sell my soul." I suddenly felt great reverence for my father. Although I knew that he might not be my biological father, the man in front of me was an indomitable man.For the woman he loves, he tolerated everything about her. For his own belief, he would rather die than choose to betray.Maybe he is using this method to atone for He Jin, but no matter what, such a person deserves the respect of others. Long Lin blushed and said: "I understand, Elder, if possible, I hope you can still think about your future, after all so many brothers count on you." His father's expression became much calmer. He sighed and said, "I know it in my heart. You should try to keep a low profile when you go back. Many things are not up to you to decide." Longlin said: "Yes." He waved to the other two and left. At this time, my mother hugged me, who was already asleep on her shoulders with sweat profusely, and returned to my father. At this time, her expression was not as happy as when she was playing with me, and she said with a sad expression: "There problem occurs?" The father stroked her long hair pityingly and said, "There's nothing wrong, you don't have to worry, your task now is to take care of your son." The mother's eyes were red, and she said, "Brother Tian, ​​I'm the one who dragged you down." The father said: "Do we still need to talk about this? You and I are sincerely together, even if you take everything from me, as long as I have you, I will be satisfied." After finishing speaking, the father took the mother into his arms.But I saw the front of my father and the back of my mother. Two people in strange costumes had strode over. One was carrying a longbow behind his back. The other is in the shape of a golden dragon; the other has white hair and a tall figure, holding a long sword with a black wooden handle in his left hand. The scabbard is actually wrapped with white cloth. This is the simplest scabbard I have ever seen. When they approached, the father patted his mother on the back and said softly: "You go back first, I have some things to deal with." The mother didn't seem to notice that there was anyone behind her. She nodded happily and contentedly, and walked towards home.My father stood there and stared at the two of them motionlessly. When they gradually approached, I suddenly felt a slight chill. I don't know if it was my heart, or the temperature had really dropped.In short, in this land of green grass, the atmosphere is gradually dignified. The two stopped three meters away from their father, and stood in the shape of "Pin" on one left and one on the right.Father glanced at the two of them separately, and said with a sneer, "What's the big deal, even the two of you are involved?" The person holding the long sword said with a serious expression: "Old He, you should understand the importance of this matter. I actually know that Longlin came to you today. I hope you can turn back if there is no obstruction. We are brothers in life and death. I always I should give you a hand." Father laughed and said, "Brother Qiu really knows how to joke. I've always been self-sufficient. Do you need me?" The man with the longbow on his back immediately touched the handle of the bow, Elder Qiu said in a low voice: "Lao Liu, we have not turned our backs." The father said in a deep voice: "Old Qiu, I have always respected you very much. If you are here today because of Ah Cai, then we have nothing to talk about." Elder Qiu said: "Old He, you have to figure out the environment you are in now. In the current situation, it's not that you have no choice, but that we all have no choice." Father said: "You don't need to be dragged down by me at all. If those old bones give orders, you just follow through." Elder Qiu squinted his eyes, and said, "Old He, what do you mean by that?" Father said: "It's not interesting, I just don't want to embarrass my brothers." Elder Qiu said: "If you really think so, hand over the child, and I guarantee that no one will embarrass you." The father said: "It's a good thing you can say such a thing to exchange a child for my own safety." Although his voice was not high, every word he said was sonorous and forceful. After that, the three of them didn't speak any more, their six eyes met closely, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.My heart is also in my throat. Although I don't have any memory of my father, I know that I have a father who is indomitable in the dream. It is my honor and pride, so I don't want to He does anything.But the truth is that my father was killed in the end. The surrounding area was so quiet that even a gust of wind could be heard clearly. I stared at the weapons on the two men to see when they would strike.Suddenly Elder Qiu sighed and said, "Old He, why did you choose to fight against the entire Sky Spirit Clan?" The father said: "Because Ah Cai is my wife and Xiao Zhuang is my son." Elder Qiu said: "You are really crazy, do you know the purpose of our visit today?" The father said: "It is nothing more than killing the mother and son. This is what you have wanted to do for a long time." Elder Qiu nodded and said: "Fortunately, we are not so lowly, but people who come back in the future may not be like us." The father's expression was a little surprised for a moment, and after a while he said: "Aren't you going to do something today?" Elder Qiu shook his head helplessly and said: "After all, I have lived and died together. As long as a man is in this matter, he will choose like you. I wish you good luck. But I must take this blood-cursed knife back." Without the slightest hesitation, the father raised his hand and threw it to Elder Qiu, saying, "I owe you a favor, and I will have a chance to drink together in the future." Elder Qiu smiled and said, "Unless you change your mind, you won't have this chance. Lao He, listen to my advice and hide quickly, otherwise the Heavenly King and I will not be able to protect you." Father smiled wryly and said, "Where else can I go? They want to find me, even if they hide in the ends of the earth, it's useless." Elder Qiu didn't say anything more, he hung the knife on his waist and said: "I'll do it for myself, let's say goodbye here." After saying that, the two of them quickly left without a trace.My father stood there thoughtfully for a long time before turning around and walking back. I was about to follow him when I suddenly heard a person whisper: "If I don't go and see, I won't die with peace." I woke up immediately, but I didn't open my eyes. I only heard another person lower his voice: "Is that place safe? I think it's better not to go." This person had a loud voice, and although he tried his best to lower his voice, he still spoke like a normal person.The person in front immediately said: "You'd better not talk, it will be troublesome to wake people up. From now on, if you listen to me, nod or shake your head, you agree to me. Would you like to go with me?" I slightly opened my squinted eyes, and saw the two youngest Celestial warriors sitting on the ground in front of me. They were only sixteen or seventeen years old, and their faces were still childish.The slightly fat man thought for a while, and finally nodded.The thin man patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are brave enough. I have seen the introduction of that crystal coffin in the fragments of the underground book in the family. It is the coffin of the yin and yang scholar. They don't even know that it is specially placed for his body. This If the great secret is solved, it will be thanks to the two of us." The fat man kept nodding, obviously already interested in this matter.The thin man got up and said: "Then let's go." After saying that, he tiptoed around the people sleeping on the ground, and headed for the hole on the left.
