Chapter 157: Valley Photo
……

“What a peculiar thing!”

Wu Wen muttered to himself as he casually stuffed the bird in his hand into the cloth bag on the side of the horse's back and tied it tightly with a rope to prevent it from running away. He planned to study it slowly after returning.

Looking up at the birds on the cliff, I didn’t know whether to describe them as overly cautious or too timid. They actually didn’t dare to show up again.

Wu Wen ignored them, dismounted, and holding a shield and a mace, began to investigate the situation close to the rock wall.

He closed his eyes, holding the shield in one hand and the mace in the other, and walked slowly forward.

The steel mace was stuck to the rock wall, and as he moved forward, it hit the rock wall again and again, making a "clang clang clang" sound.

Under sound wave detection.

A three-dimensional valley structure model gradually emerged in Wu Wen’s spiritual space.

He incorporated all the factors he had observed, such as electrostatic fields, magnetic fields, and sound waves, into the model to form a special energy field model.

After he walked a hundred steps, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Because he found a crack on the mountain not far ahead.

slowly approach
Stand in front of the crack and examine it carefully.

He found that this place should have been blocked before.

The reason for the crack is not because someone dug it from the outside or the mountain cracked, but it seems like something drilled out from the inside.

Standing on the edge of the crack, gusts of cold wind kept blowing out from inside.

Wu Wen held a steel mace and kept hitting the inner wall, trying to detect the situation inside through the transmission of sound waves.

After figuring out the structure of the crack and confirming that there are no other abnormalities.

He took out a lighter from his pocket to use as a light to illuminate the way and walked in carefully.

This crack is like a tunnel, connecting to an empty chamber inside the mountain.

Soon, Wu Wen passed through the tunnel and came to the empty room.

What came into view was actually a small Taoist temple.

Seeing this familiar thing in front of him, Wu Wen raised a smile.

He remembered watching a documentary before, in which there is always a Taoist temple on top of China's famous mountains and rivers, in some remote places, or even in places where people cannot go at all.

No one knows what these Taoist temples are used for or how they were built on these cliffs. It seems like an unsolved mystery.

Wu Wen entered the Taoist temple and found that the front and back doors were connected. There was nothing inside except a big bell hanging on the beam in the middle.

The entire Taoist temple looks like a one-story bell tower.

He first checked the surrounding walls and found some special patterns painted on them, but due to years of disrepair, many places were cracked and falling off.

After not finding any useful information.

He turned his attention to the large clock hanging in the center.

Wu Wen reached out and touched the bell, first checking if there were any inscriptions or patterns on it. Unfortunately, there was nothing, just a bare bell.

Then he stretched out a finger and tapped the clock lightly, and a dull humming sound was heard.

Wu Wen immediately noticed the peculiarity of the bell.

Through his sonic exploration, he discovered that this nearly two-meter-long bell was neither cast in one piece nor assembled in three layers, but was made up of small pieces joined together like building blocks.

He used listening to identify the gaps in the clock's interior, and discovered that they formed a regular, symmetrical and repetitive pattern.

"It's all thanks to me, otherwise who would have discovered this secret!"

Wu Wen muttered to himself and couldn't help sighing.

Then he struck the bell heavily, and with a "dong" sound, a long bell sounded. In Wu Wen's perception, the sound waves emitted by the bell spread out in all directions like ripples, with a deep and distant rhythm.

But it did not simply decay like an ordinary bell sound. Instead, it seemed to form a special wave pattern in the air, with regular ups and downs and a kind of indescribable harmony.

However, just when Wu Wen was about to experience the mystery of the sound waves.

But there were sparse sounds coming from my ears.

He immediately went to investigate and suddenly discovered that under the mountain and underground, there were groups of long-legged insects constantly crawling out.

"Why didn't you detect it just now?"

Wu Wen couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

Then he immediately ran towards the tunnel he came from.

There is no time to think now, these things are obviously attracted by the sound of the bell.

It would be troublesome if you were surrounded by a swarm of insects in a small space.

Wu Wen took two steps at a time and quickly ran out of the crevice in the mountain.

However, the group of insects behind were chasing closely and swarmed out of the cracks.

Wu Wen continued to run outside and soon arrived at Jin Bocong's position.

He leaped onto the horse, and just as Wu Wen was about to ride away, suddenly an illusion appeared in the valley in front of him.

Faintly, he saw a man with disheveled hair, wearing a Taoist robe, and looking haggard. He was moving step by step towards the direction of the crack.

The swarm of insects was chasing behind him, and the golden-bocong sitting there was very restless.

"Xu~"

Wu Wen pulled the reins to calm the horse, and then stared closely at the illusion before him.

Regarding this situation, he naturally understood in his heart that the illusion before him was due to the special environment here, which recorded a scene that had happened in the past.

Now it seemed as if some switch had been triggered, and the scene that had been recorded was played out like a movie.

Wu Wen quietly watched the illusion, which flickered and became illusory, until it gradually disappeared.

Only then did he prepare to leave.

At this time, the swarm of insects chasing him was not far away from him.

As Wu Wen rode his horse quickly outside, the birds above his head seemed to be affected by the swarm of insects and became restless.

They kept circling in the air, then flew down one by one, as if enjoying a rich feast, constantly hunting these insects.

Wu Wen ran out quickly and met up with Cheng Chumo.

When Cheng Chumo saw Wu Wen appear, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in confusion: "My Lord, what happened just now? Why is there thunder in this valley?"

"You said there was thunder in the valley?"

When Wu Wen heard his question, he immediately looked puzzled.

"Yeah!" Cheng Chumo nodded, confirming what he said.

Wu Wen pondered for a moment and muttered to himself: I am in the valley, why didn’t I hear any thunder?
Suddenly, a possible reason came to mind.

Perhaps it was because the sound of the bell that he rang, after leaving the mountain, interacted with the special environment in the valley, producing a thunder-like phenomenon and transmitting outward.

In this case, the illusion may also be related to the sound of the bell.
