People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Chapter 497 Ruins?

After reaching a consensus on this, Chen Ziyan immediately started the next arrangement.

In fact, there is nothing to arrange, it is nothing more than leaving a few people brought by Li Wu to be responsible for acting as living coordinates.

According to Chen Ziyan's thinking, he intends to let Old Dog Wu stay here. After all, he still doesn't know how good Li Wu's subordinates are. It's not so easy to know the living coordinates. After all, no one knows. No danger will be encountered.

However, Old Dog Wu resolutely rejected Chen Ziyan's proposal. Old Dog Wu knew that no matter how dangerous the hidden things in this underground space were, it would be safer to stay with Chen Ziyan and the others.

Needless to say, Chen Ziyan and the Huahu beside him are well-rounded strangers, even Li Wu, who always seems to be intimidated, is also a person who can be the governor of a province, and his usual performance is incomparable , If you are in danger, you must be the most useful person.

And more importantly, with the understanding of this place, Wu Laogou also saw the value of this place, so how could he not be missing such important things as exploration.

Chen Ziyan probably also guessed some of Wu Laogou's thoughts, so after persuading him once to no avail, he simply didn't bring up the matter again.

An old man who has been in the rivers and lakes for decades, to be honest, it is not his turn to worry about safety issues, and it is enough to show the attitude he should have.

As for whether to accept it or not, that is their own business.

When they came to the edge of the cement disc, Chen Ziyan and the others did not go down immediately, but stopped here.

Because the bottom is covered with dense white bones, and there is no end in sight at a glance.

"These are all snake bones." Old Dog Wu took a look, and he had already identified what kind of creature the bones all over the floor came from.

After all, the bones of snakes have distinctive features and can be easily identified.

"Master Chen, Lord Fifth, look over there." Li Wu suddenly called out.

Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou looked in the direction of his flashlight, and found a very conspicuous skeleton among the white snake bones of different sizes about a dozen meters ahead.

This is also a snake bone, but its size is a bit over the standard, the spine alone has to have the thickness of an ordinary person's waist.

After seeing this extraordinarily thick skeleton, Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou frowned slightly.

None of them were Xiaobai who came out on the first day, and they knew very well what the appearance of this snake bone represented, which meant that if there were any living creatures here, it was very likely that such a behemoth existed.

Although the bones of snakes are not much different from their bodies, it is not difficult to imagine how terrifying this thing is when it is alive with the remaining bones.

For ordinary people, it is basically no problem to take one bite at a time.

"Chen Xiaoyou, what exactly is this place?" Wu Laogou said quietly after being silent for a while.

He has now completely overturned his previous guess. This place is definitely not a tomb, and this is not a burial ditch in front of him.

"An ancient site." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and gave an answer.

This is also the most likely answer he got after summarizing all the information.

"Ancient ruins?" Li Wu's eyes flickered when he heard this.

In a sense, ancient ruins buried deep underground may be more valuable than tombs.

"A ruin?" Wu Laogou muttered in a low voice, and then said: "Everyone, be more vigilant later. If this is really a ruin, it may be dangerous."

He didn't think too much about the value, but thought of the previous inference. The conclusion that the black-haired snake is a tomb-keeper is all based on the fact that this is a tomb. Now the possibility of a tomb is greatly reduced, which means that the black-haired snake The snake issue is once again in the fog.

At this moment, Old Dog Wu already has a vague premonition that those black-haired snakes that are regarded as rare ingredients are very likely to be more valuable than he imagined, but he still doesn't know where the value comes from.

After careful inspection, everyone confirmed that there were only white bones underneath, and then lowered them from the cement disc to the ground one by one.

clack clack-

Stepping on the snake bones all over the ground, listening to the clicking sound under their feet, even though the surroundings were quiet, everyone still raised their vigilance to the highest level.

But what they feared didn't happen, and they didn't encounter any attacks until they walked out of the range covered by the snake bones.

When he stepped on the hard dirt ground, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but look back. Under the light of the flashlight, there was a vast expanse of whiteness behind him, giving people an uncontrollable sense of dread.

"The distribution of those bones should be in a circle." Standing beside him, Old Dog Wu said suddenly.

"Fifth Master, how did you see it?" Chen Ziyan asked curiously.

He really didn't see this point, after all, their field of vision depends on the light, and the light can't reach the end of the bones.

Wu Laogou was slightly silent, and then slowly said: "I have seen similar scenes before."

It was only when he came here that he remembered that he had encountered a similar place before, except that this place was full of snake bones, while the one he had encountered before was replaced by human bones.

It was precisely because of this difference that Old Dog Wu didn't remember it immediately.

Hearing Wu Laogou said that he had encountered a similar place, everyone subconsciously looked at him.

Chen Ziyan couldn't help being startled, and quickly asked, "Fifth Lord, what do you know?"

This is very important information.

You must know that after arriving here, Chen Ziyan's foresight has lost its effect, and everything has to be discovered by himself.

But now Old Dog Wu suddenly said that he had been to a similar place, which was a great thing for them.

Even if these two places are not related, some things are always the same, and understanding by analogy may bring new ideas.

"I don't know much. I was not in charge of that action, and I didn't participate in the later stage, so I just know what I have experienced." Wu Laogou said with a frown, as if he was recalling related memories.

The others did not urge, they all waited quietly.

They knew that Wu Laogou's words were not an excuse, but a foreshadowing.

Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, I heard Wu Laogou's voice sounded again.

"That was a long time ago... I remember that it was about four or a few years ago. We went to the depths of the Qinling Mountains together and found the ruins of an ancient country that disappeared. But the difference here is that the ruins are in the In a mountain, where we entered, there is a disc, but that disc is carved out of a whole rock, surrounded by human bones..."

Wu Laogou's narration is not complete, and many places are broken, but it sounds like there is no obstacle.

"Ancient Sheguo." After listening to Wu Laogou's narration, Chen Ziyan uttered three words slowly.

In fact, not long after the beginning, he already felt faintly familiar, and after mentioning that the ruins were deep in the Qinling Mountains, Chen Ziyan had already confirmed what Wu Laogou was talking about.

There are indeed coincidences in the world, but how can there be so many, and it is extremely difficult for two ancient sites like this to appear in the same area.

"Chen Xiaoyou, do you know Sheguo?" Old Dog Wu was also surprised.

You must know that the ancient country of She Kingdom has long since disappeared in history. Unless it is an expert who specializes in this field, ordinary people have no way of knowing it.

Now that Chen Ziyan can say the name in one breath, it means that he really understands it.

Chen Ziyan nodded: "Because of the elders in the family, I know some related things."

He didn't say that he knew what was in Qinling, but directly pushed the matter to his parents and elders.

But others don't doubt anything. After all, no one in the industry knows that Chen Ziyan is the leader of contemporary Xiling bandits. Although the Xiling lineage has its ups and downs, it has not broken its inheritance for thousands of years, and knows some secrets that ordinary people don't know. It's normal.

Not to mention knowing the ancient She country, Li Wu and Wu Laogou would not be too surprised even if Chen Ziyan was familiar with the environment in front of him.

There is no way, the ancient inheritance is so strong, maybe there is not much deterrence in terms of power and strength, but when it comes to knowledge...the nine sects are the younger brothers!

Old Dog Wu himself admits this.

"Fifth Master, when you went to Qinling, who were there?" Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of something and asked.

Old Dog Wu glanced at him, and said, "That time was the round of the Foye Group, and all the Nine Sects dispatched staff at that time."

"Buddha..." Chen Ziyan nodded thoughtfully.

Old Dog Wu glanced at Li Wu and the others next to him, thought for a while and asked, "Xiaoyou Chen, do you know what's going on here?"

He felt that Chen Ziyan would definitely not be aimless, and there must be his purpose in asking this question.

Although there are outsiders around now, this matter is not a secret, so Wu Laogou still asked his doubts.

Chen Ziyan made some calculations in his mind and said, "I know very little about the Qinling Mountains. I only heard that the place is extremely dangerous and a very evil place. However, I suddenly thought of a place that might be connected to this place."

He intends to test Old Dog Wu to see how deeply the other party is involved with Master Zhang Dafo, which is related to the depth of cooperation between the two parties in the future.

"Where is it?" Old Dog Wu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Gutongjing!" Chen Ziyan slowly spit out a place name.

"Gutongjing?" Wu Laogou's pupils shrank slightly.

Why doesn't he know about this place? Thinking about their Wu family's contribution at the beginning, okay? It's just that he just contributed some funds, so up to now it is still unclear where Gutongjing is and where Master Zhang Dafo is doing it. what.

It's not a secret that this place is inside the Nine Gates, or even the entire dark world. After all, Master Zhang planned to keep it a secret when he was doing things, but the strange thing is, apart from a name, no information about Gu Tong Jing has been spread. However, this is a very contradictory place.

In fact, Old Dog Wu also became curious about this in the early years. After all, people in their profession can lack everything, but the only thing that cannot be missing is that strong curiosity.

But after the investigation failed, he gradually let go of the matter. After all, he only supported some funds.

"You said there is a connection with Gutong Jing? What kind of connection?" Wu Laogou was not surprised for too long, and quickly recovered, and continued to ask.

"It's those black-haired snakes!" Chen Ziyan replied with certainty.

"Those black-haired snakes? How did this happen?" This time it was Li Wu who asked, because it was about the topic of Master Zhang. He didn't want to get involved before, but now he finally couldn't help hearing about the black-haired snakes.

"I didn't come at first, but after the fifth master just reminded me, I suddenly found that a snake I had heard before was very similar to a black-haired snake, so I thought of this one." Chen Ziyan said calmly.

"Like it? Chen Xiaoyou, tell me in detail." Wu Laogou stopped Li Wu who wanted to say something more, and asked Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan said bluntly: "I have seen it from the letters left by the elders. It is said that there was a strange snake that originated somewhere on the Silk Road in ancient times. This kind of snake is covered with metallic scales. black mane, but this kind of snake is extremely poisonous, so it is very difficult to catch."

Hearing this, the people next to him nodded secretly. It was indeed very similar to a black-haired snake, and it would not be too much to say that it was exactly the same.

"Because this memory is very long, and I have a preconception that the black-haired snake is a kind of edible snake, so I can't connect the two."

Wu Laogou asked: "However, what does this have to do with Gutongjing?"

"Because in the depths of ancient Tongjing, there is also a snake cave full of black-haired snakes..." Chen Ziyan said.

"A similar snake cave..." Wu Laogou fell into deep thought the moment he got the answer.

He didn't know some things before. On the one hand, the reason was that he didn't participate too much, and on the other hand, there was a lack of corresponding information.

But now, according to the information given by Chen Ziyan, he immediately affirmed one thing, that is, there must be some kind of connection between the She country ruins deep in the Qinling Mountains and the ancient Tongjing in the desert.

He even guessed that it was probably because of that trip to Qinling that Master Zhang brought people to Gutongjing.

But soon Old Dog Wu felt something was wrong again, because although he didn't participate in the whole process of Qinling's operation back then, he knew all the specific information, even the deepest secret hidden there. He didn't hide it from them, otherwise Xie Jiu wouldn't have run there in desperation this time, didn't he just know that there was that thing there.

After thinking for a while with no results, Brother Ang looked at Chen Ziyan again and asked, "Xiaoyou Chen, what else do you know about Gutongjing?"

He didn't ask about Qinling's affairs, because as the person involved, he knew the affairs there very well. What he lacked now was the information about Gutongjing.

Chen Ziyan has been observing Old Dog Wu, and shook his head lightly when he saw this: "I only know that place is very mysterious, and ordinary people can't reach it in their lifetime. As for other things, I don't know, after all, I haven't personally been there."
