Chapter 510 Ladder
Before leaving, Bai Ruoyan saw Bai Mufan standing in the pavilion, as if looking up at something. She couldn't help but walk over and stand beside him and also look up. She saw some complicated and gorgeous patterns engraved on the edge of the pavilion, scattered in every corner at the top, just eight, like eight heads.
"Xiaofan, what are you looking at?" Bai Ruoyan said strangely.
"This pattern is a bit familiar." Bai Mufan frowned. For some reason, he remembered the nine-headed monster he saw on the badge of the Blood Moon Sect. The patterns carved at the top of the pavilion were very similar to that one, but there were only eight heads here, one missing.
Is he thinking too much?
At this time, the people in front began to urge, and Bai Mufan had to put aside his thoughts and catch up with the team.
The road is very long and can’t see the end at first sight. There are flowers and plants around it, which makes people wonder how wide the space at the bottom of the well is.
But Bai Mufan gradually discovered that there were no flying insects and beasts here, which were extremely quiet. Only the footsteps of them and the group were swaying, giving people a sense of horror. Everyone did not dare to relax their vigilance and were always careful that something would pounce around.
The air around was gray, and it always felt like it was covered with a mysterious veil, which made people feel a little furious, as if there were pairs of eyes hiding behind the gray fog and staring at them with malicious intentions.
Gradually, a huge shadow outline appeared in front of him. Everyone looked up and found that it was a building with a strange shape, quietly located there.
The building gave people a very strange feeling. Apart from a thick portal in front, there was no window visible, as if there was a monster inside.
Chu Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed, and she exchanged opinions with several other teachers. Finally, she decided to enter the building to take a look and collect information.
The group walked to the door of the building. Chu Xiuyuan raised her hand and pushed it. She thought it would take a lot of effort to push it open, but she didn't expect that the seemingly heavy giant door was pushed open and made a harsh creaking sound.
Everyone calmed down and walked in carefully. A wide hall came into view. The hall was very magnificent and huge. Columns rose up from the ground, and some exquisite patterns were carved on it. However, due to the years, most of the patterns had been erased and could not see clearly.
There were some reliefs on the side of the hall. Everyone walked upstairs and looked at them and found that these reliefs recorded the customs of the Desert Kingdom that had been celebrating the heavenly sacrifice ceremony, and the names of emperors were recorded on it. The history of the Desert Kingdom lasted for tens of thousands of years, which made them frightened.
Bai Mufan looked at the last relief, which depicted the appearance of the Emperor of Mo holding a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven. And further there was a blank space, because the Desert Kingdom was destroyed, and the Emperor of Mo was the last emperor.
After everyone confirmed that there was no danger here, they searched around the hall to see if there were any valuable clues.
Bai Mufan opened his eyes of peeping and suddenly discovered some strange places. Some blood-red silk threads were climbing onto the columns and ground of the hall. These silk threads could only be seen under the eyes of peeping, which made Bai Mufan realize something was wrong.
He carefully followed these threads and finally found their roots. These blood-colored threads spread from a high platform in the deepest part of the hall.
There were several golden discs on the platform, and the golden discs were covered with exquisite fabrics. What was surprising was that these discs and fabrics were still intact after a long period of time, with no signs of decay at all. The discs even flashed with streamers, which were obviously extraordinary.
Bai Mufan recognized these things at a glance. These things were the sacrifices thrown into the wellhead of the Tongtianjing when the Mo Emperor held a ceremony to sacrifice the sky. He didn't expect to find them here, and they were still intact after so many years. The most important thing is to look at the bulging fabric, I'm afraid the sacrifices below are still on it!
Others also discovered the offerings on the high platform and walked over to look around the platform. However, under Chu Xiuyuan's strict instructions, no one stepped forward to move the offerings without authorization and allowed them to be placed there quietly.
The ritual of sacrifices was destroyed when the sky was destroyed, and the sacrifices appeared strangely in this building. I wonder if these sacrifices would cause any unpredictable consequences.
Bai Mufan carefully observed the blood-colored silk threads for a long time, and finally saw some clues and said, "There seems to be a way under the high platform."
"Is there a way below?" Chu Xiuyuan heard this and walked up to the platform and took a closer look. Suddenly, she seemed to have found something. She raised her hand and made a stream of light flow into the groove below the platform. The groove was suddenly filled with a large symbol!
Click.
A light sound came out, and the platform actually separated to both sides, revealing a staircase leading to the underground!
Everyone showed surprise. The bottom of the well was already underground at an unknown depth of meter, and there was actually a road leading to the underground in this building?
Moreover, this road is so hidden deep, hidden on the platform. If you don’t observe carefully, it will be difficult to find the mystery in the grooves. Unexpectedly, none of them, the warriors, discovered it. Instead, they were discovered by Bai Mufan, the only man without cultivation in the team, which made many people feel a wonderful feeling.
Chu Xiuyuan was also shocked. She calmed down and walked in front, saying, "Let's go down and see if there is anything wrong, then withdraw immediately."
Everyone followed and walked down the stairs. After a while, they finally reached the bottom.
The environment below is cold and humid, and even the light around is much dimmed, and the atmosphere becomes depressed, as if something invisible is heavy in the hearts of everyone.
There is a corridor below leading to the depths, and there is only this road. Everyone has no choice but to follow this road toward the deeper.
As everyone was walking, someone suddenly seemed to notice something. After looking around, he said uncertainly: "Is there someone behind? Why do I feel that there are fewer people?"
Hearing this, everyone stopped immediately. Chu Xiuyuan counted the number of people, and her face suddenly became much darker, saying, "There are indeed fewer people... Let's look back!"
Everyone turned around and found a distance to the road when they came, but they couldn't even see a ghost. It was worth giving up and continuing to move towards the depths.
Chapter completed!
