Chapter 259 Prophecy
Qi Xiaohei and Zhang Jiuyi arrived at the central area of the ancient city and found that the temple had collapsed and was buried deep under the yellow sand.
After calculating the location of the temple, the two found a place to dig.
But there is too much fine sand covering the surface, and the newly dug cave will be filled with yellow sand.
After several times with no results, Zhang Jiuyi spoke in a rough voice: "Master Qi, it is not possible to dig a cave in the sand dunes without the help of tools. Let's think of other ways."

Qi Xiaohei shook the sweat off his forehead and nodded. With the scorching sun above his head, being reckless was not an option.
"Can Mr. Zhang determine the underground water veins? The soil where the water veins flow is moist and loose, and it is most likely to create a cave." Qi Xiaohei thought for a while and said.
Zhang Jiuyi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My senior brothers are the most proficient in the method of touching the golden acupoints, but my father did not teach it to me."
Qi Xiaohei sighed: "I don't know if Fatty Death Gold is cursed or not. He has been sleeping so hard."
At this time, a sound came from behind the dunes in the distance.
"You damn fool, I can hear you cursing me from afar."
When the two of them took a look, they saw Hua Ling walking over the sand dunes holding the golden abacus.
"Senior Brother Jin, is everything okay?" Zhang Jiuyi said happily.
Jin Abacus smiled, rubbed his abdomen and said, "With great fortune and great fortune, I'm naturally fine, but I still feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."
Jin Abacus swallowed a lot of gold coins under the tomb. He only excreted some of them before coming here, and a lot of them remained in his stomach.
When he learned that Ye Bai and others were still trapped under the tomb, he rushed over with Hua Ling without stopping.
"I heard what you just said. It's not difficult for me to find the water veins. Just wait for me."
After saying that, Jin Abacus took out his abacus, surveyed the terrain direction, and started to deduce.
Soon, he locked in one place.
"This is where the water vapor is the strongest. If you dig a straight tunnel, you should be able to reach the tomb."
At this time, Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle under the tomb did not know that the people above were trying to rescue them.
The two of them were gesturing to a group of black rats.
"Do you think these guys can understand what we mean?" Chen Yulou couldn't help but ask.
The Partridge Whistle doesn't have much confidence either. Although these rats are not low in intelligence, they are obviously still far behind in understanding their gestures.
However, the leading black mouse seemed to understand. He pointed his paw and chirped a few times, signaling the two of them to follow.
Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle looked at each other, showed joy, and quickly followed.
The two thought that the mice would lead them to look for Ye Bai's traces, but the mice instead took them to a rock crevice by the dark river.
There is only a rock wall and a gurgling stream here, and there are no traces of people.
However, Partridge Whistle was careful and found a small crack in the rock wall.
He started knocking, but it was not a real sound. There was obviously a lot of space behind it.
The two picked up stones and used them as tools, and started beating them around the cracks.
After a while, the crack was opened, revealing a square stone chamber.
The stone chamber is not big, only about ten square meters, and there is a large ancient stone box on the ground.
This stone box is not made of Cishan black stone. The material is gray and very simple.
Chen Yulou has never seen a box of this shape before, and this workmanship is not a product of the ancient city.
But Partridge Whistle recognized the origin of the box and said: "This is something from my Zagrama tribe. I have seen the patterns on it in my tribe."
"From your family? So these two corpses also belong to your family?"
Chen Yulou walked around the box and pointed at the two withered corpses.
The remains, one old and one young, have all turned into dark brown. The beard on the old man's chin is not rotten and can be vaguely seen.
The other is a young child, wrapped in sheepskin.
They were all sitting cross-legged, seemingly guarding this strange stone box.
Partridge Whistle shook his head when he heard this. He was not sure either.
These two corpses are at least thousands of years old, and the objects that can prove their identities have long since decayed with the passage of time.
However, he still bowed three times to the old man and the young man.
"There seem to be many patterns on the stone box." Chen Yulou discovered something and quickly took a closer look.
There are dozens of patterns in this pattern. The composition is simple and the symbolic features are very obvious. The two men can decipher most of the contents.
The first picture shows a child pointing his finger at the sky, and there are many people on the ground running around for cover.
The second and third pictures both depict tornadoes, which blew down many houses. People who had taken shelter before were able to safely avoid the natural disaster.
The subsequent patterns all describe the child's ability to predict and gradually become the sage of the clan.
As for the last picture, the two of them were a little confused. In the stone painting, an old man and a young man were sitting next to the stone box, and there were six people standing in the tomb.
The six people are all drawn in the shape of stick figures, with the same size and shape, no difference.
And one of the six people is opening the stone box.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but said: "There are only two of us in the tomb, why are there six people painted on it? I think your prophet has a false reputation. How can he predict what will happen thousands of years later?"
Partridge Whistle shook his head and said: "Although the documents left by the clan do not describe many prophets, every prophet has the ability to predict, and this cannot be false."
The two were talking, and the light of the flashlight outside the tomb flashed past.
Chen Yulou suddenly became alert and said: "Who is it?... Third brother?"
"It's us!"
The voices of Qi Xiaohei and others appeared outside.
Chen Yulou and Partridge Shao were quite surprised when they saw that it was Qi Xiaohei Jin Abacus and the other four.
The fact that the four of them were able to come down means that the path from the tomb to the top has been opened.
Jin Abacus scanned the tomb with a flashlight, but there was no trace of Ye Bai. He asked doubtfully: "Where is my disciple?"
"It's a long story..." Partridge Whistle sighed and described what happened.
Jin Abacus was a little anxious when he learned that Ye Bai disappeared because of the divorce between the two of them.
"This kid is so talented, how could he be missing? No, I have to go down and look for him."
The Partridge Whistle quickly stopped him: "Senior Jin, except for the bottomless ghost cave, we have searched all over the space under the tomb, and there is no trace of the third brother."
"Didn't Master Nephew Ye leave any clues?" Zhang Jiuyi also asked.
Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou shook their heads.
If there were clues, I wouldn’t have fumbled here.
Then the four people from Jin Abacus also walked into the stone room, and Chen Yulou discovered that, together with Jin Abacus and the four of them, they exactly matched the number of people on the stone painting.
The prophet's predictions are extremely accurate, which is really interesting.
Chen Yulou thought again, maybe there was news about Ye Bai in the prophecy.
There was no trace of the stone box being opened, and it was sealed with cowhide paint. After a few people checked that there was no mechanism, Chen Yulou couldn't wait to open it.
There was nothing else in the stone box, only an ancient sheepskin book with a lot of content. Several people used flashlights to illuminate it and went to examine it together.
The first few pages of the ancient sheepskin book record the origins of the Jingjue clan.
It is said that the Jingjue clan originated from the Guidong clan. They established a demon kingdom and owned Muchen Beads for generations. Whenever a ghost mother with special abilities appeared in this clan, this clan would become unprecedentedly powerful. They would suppress small countries in the four directions and sacrifice human beings.
And he is murderous.
It wasn't until the Muchen Pearl was lost and wandered in the Central Plains that the Guidong people declined.
"It seems that Queen Jingjue is the Ghost Mother of the Ghost Cave Clan. Although they did not find the Muchen Bead, the appearance of the Ghost Mother gave them a lot of confidence, so they returned to their ancestral land, reoccupied the Ghost Cave, and ruled all the people in the Western Regions.
