Chapter 397 There is also an orc there



Cheng Wenwei looked solemn, "When we were going out, a passage collapsed for no reason. On the way to escape, we didn't bother to look at the road. After we got to a safe place, we found that we were lost. We took a road that was not on the map we had obtained before. But it is impossible to go back the same way. The road we came from is blocked. We can only go down."

"But as we were walking, we came to a very strange place, where there was a black coffin that we had never seen before."

Black coffin?

Hearing this, Lin Wu paused and looked back at Cheng Wenwei.

Bo Yuting, who was sitting in the driver's seat, had an idea and asked, "Deputy Sect Leader Cheng, what's in that black coffin? Could it be the body of the owner who built those passages and murals?"

"I don't know." Cheng Wenwei took a deep breath, "But we were young and hot-tempered at the time, and we saw that the black coffin was strange, so we opened it and took a look. But just by looking at it, we almost died there. Because there was an incredible creature in the black coffin, it was... an orc."

Lin Wu sat up straight and immediately thought of the snake man in the palace of the Danmaya mine.

Are they the same?

So the same people built both places?

"What kind of orc?"

Cheng Wenwei was a little surprised to see that she was not surprised and did not think that what he said was so far-fetched.

He said, "I can't say exactly what that orc was. His upper body was human, and his lower body was... similar to a deer's. He looked quite scary. And he had his eyes open at the time, which scared us. Seeing that he was motionless, we thought he wanted to die, but it didn't show that he was a living creature and was extremely aggressive."

"The situation of the three of us was not very good at that time. We couldn't run fast with the body of our disciple on our backs. In the end, we had no choice but to abandon our disciple. Fortunately, the mountain road collapsed again and blocked the road. We were able to escape the orc's pursuit."

Lin Wu frowned when he heard this.

It’s not a snake man.

Was she wrong? "What happened next?"

Bo Yuting asked and looked at Lin Wu.

He knew what Lin Wu was thinking, so he held her hand and squeezed her palm to get her attention back.

"Later, we turned a disaster into a blessing. We avoided the direction in which the orcs fled and were able to leave. We walked for a long time and indeed found a way out. But we were already exhausted and couldn't go on, so we fainted and fell down."

Cheng Wenwei said calmly, "When I woke up again, I was in a nearby guesthouse. Two days later, I saw my senior brother coming to see us."

Lin Wu leaned back and said thoughtfully, "From what I heard, you were about to leave Blackback Mountain, and you had not yet come into contact with the contents of the murals. How could you determine that there was danger and not tell Sect Master Yuan? Wasn't the last wish of those disciples you found to find out the contents of the murals? If you tell Sect Master Yuan, with more helpers, it should be easier to figure it out, right?"

Cheng Wenwei said calmly, "We encountered so much just by discovering it. It would be even more dangerous if we continue to look for it. Isn't this obvious? In addition, my senior brother had only taken over Xuanmen for less than two years. The foundation was not stable and there were many affairs in the sect. He was too busy to do anything. How could I ask him to worry more? For this kind of thing, it doesn't matter who investigates it between me and my senior brother. There's no need to tell him and cause him more trouble."

Hearing this, Lin Wu raised his eyebrows.

Bo Yuting looked at her, curled his lips in an ambiguous way, and said, "So what did Deputy Sect Master Cheng find when he checked the murals?"

Cheng Wenwei hesitated for a moment before saying, "A little bit."

"However, the content of the mural is too obscure. My two brothers and I don't have good memories, so we can only remember a little bit. After the escape, we forgot a lot. In the end, we were able to hand-draw only three or four pictures, and we are still not sure whether we remember them accurately."

"This makes it very difficult for me to investigate it. So far, I can only barely confirm that it seems to be related to something... a mysterious city buried underground."

Lin Wu's eyes flickered slightly.

Lin Wu pinched her fingertips and suddenly asked, "Is Cheng Man at home now?"

"Yes, I told him to stay at home and recover from his injuries."

"What did he say after he returned to the country and met with Deputy Sect Master Cheng?"

"What happened to you abroad. After he went down the mine, he found traces of the predecessors of Xuanmen, and these predecessors also found some murals. He asked me what those predecessors were all about, and what the murals in that place had to do with the murals I have now."

"Then how did Deputy Sect Leader Cheng answer him?"

"I……"

Cheng Wenwei frowned slightly.

After a while, he said, "I didn't tell him anything. He is still young and shouldn't be involved in these disputes. However, now it is certain that some of the Xuanmen people who were taken to the '511' case are really not dead."

"I don't know why they didn't come back when the former funeral director's brother is still alive. Now it seems that they are doing something related to these murals. What exactly these murals have to do with the '511' case, I don't know yet, I think it will be clear in the future."

Lin Wu said, "I copied the murals in the Damaya Underground Palace and sent them to Cheng Man. I wonder if he showed them to Deputy Sect Master Cheng?"

Cheng Wenwei was surprised: "Is there such a thing? I didn't know that!"

Thinking of the murals, Cheng Wenwei became inexplicably anxious.

He leaned forward slightly. "Daosheng, do you really remember the mural there and draw it? Show it to Uncle Cheng, and I can find someone to study and decipher it."

"The photos are all with Cheng Man. Deputy Sect Leader Cheng, if you want to see them, just ask Cheng Man to give them to you." Lin Wu said, raising his eyebrows, "I didn't expect Cheng Man to be so stupid. He knows that he can't reveal his trump card before he gets what he wants from Deputy Sect Leader Cheng, so as to avoid accidents."

Cheng Wenwei couldn't help but curse inwardly at Bo Yuting as a little bastard, and urged him to drive faster to his house.

"What's the hurry?" Bo Yuting said slowly, "Deputy Sect Leader Cheng, I think you and I have reached an agreement now. If the contents of the mural are deciphered, you should inform us as soon as possible, right?"

Cheng Wenwei paused and nodded.

"Deputy Sect Master Cheng has an outstanding character, and my master can trust him, so I naturally believe him too." Bo Yuting added slowly, "So, Deputy Sect Master Cheng, please don't do anything to hide or deceive others, and destroy the trust of the younger generation in you."

Cheng Wenwei's mouth twitched slightly, "Of course not."

Bo Yuting glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and said nothing more, just concentrating on being happy.

Lin Wu looked out the car window, sorting out the messy thoughts in his mind.

With Cheng Wenwei's guidance, they soon arrived at Cheng's house, but Lin Wu had no intention of going in.

"Don't you want to see Maner?" Cheng Wenwei asked in surprise.

Lin Wu tapped the window sill with his fingers and said, "We already know what we need to know, so there's no need to bother Cheng Man to recover from her injuries. Oh, and I have to remind Deputy Sect Master Cheng that even if father and son are angry, don't hold Cheng Man hostage. Otherwise, if someone can't get in touch with me and asks for help, I'll be in trouble."

Cheng Wenwei was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized who Lin Wu was talking about. His face darkened and he gritted his teeth and said, "I know."
