Mr. Fei stroked the mural on the wall, which got a lot of fine powder on it. He lowered his head to look at the powder and sniffed it.
"Sure enough, there is the smell of sandalwood. Even after so many years, the herbs and spices mixed in these murals are still effective! No wonder the murals here have not been destroyed."
"What is this drawing?" The insects all frowned. "Why does it look like a ghost's handwriting? Look, the lines look like a spiral staircase! What does this mean?"
Mr. Fei took a closer look and shook his head.
"Perhaps, those people also came for Tianmen!"
"So, the meaning of this painting is that as long as we find the gate to heaven, we can find the way to heaven? It's really weird!"
Brother Chongzi curled his lips and looked unconcerned!
Mr. Fei looked at him for a second longer, sighed and said, "The inheritance you received contains the secret of longevity. Do you know how many people are looking for this? It's just that you got lucky! So you don't take it seriously."
Old man Jiang Hai walked in front, his footsteps slowed down, and his eyes subconsciously swept towards Brother Chongzi!
Brother Chongzi put the hilt of the sword on his waist, not treating it as a treasure at all, which made old man Jiang Hai feel a little regretful!
Some people sit guarding a treasure mountain without knowing it, and I am referring to people like Chongzi.
"There are statues and portraits here! Why is this person so ugly?"
"This is the ancestor of Tianmen! Insect, you have to be more respectful." The voice of Yongsheng came.
Everyone subconsciously looked at a picture, and Zhang Fan looked at the person in the picture!
This is an old man wearing a Taoist robe and holding a whisk in his hand!
He was sitting cross-legged on a ninth-grade lotus platform with his eyes slightly closed, seemingly immersed in cultivation!
Suddenly, he saw the old man's eyes open.
“You’re here!”
A voice came in his ear and Zhang Fan frowned.
He slowly turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw nothing!
Turning his head again, the old man in the mural had opened his eyes again, without any sign of abnormality!
"Playing tricks!"
He snorted coldly, not taking this method seriously, and everyone continued to move forward.
Taoist Zi Jin came to the end of the corridor, where all the portraits were. However, apart from that painting, the other murals were completely incomprehensible. There were only lines and incomprehensible things like scales!
However, at the end of the corridor, there is a giant stone door.
Taoist Zi Jin raised his foot and kicked forward, with a loud bang!
He kicked the door open, and a fishy wind blew towards him, making people feel as if they had fallen into a pile of mud, and they frowned subconsciously.
"What's that smell? I'm afraid there's a pigsty behind this door."
Brother Chongzi cursed, raised the hilt of the white jade sword in his hand, and used the Tianmen secret method. The whole sword emitted a bright white light, making the dark space around him bright again.
At the same time, Taoist Zi Jin also stepped into the world behind the door!
But his expression was exactly the same as Brother Chongzi's, showing disgust and disdain.
"Oh my god! So many bones... Where is this place?"
As soon as you enter the door, you will see countless white bones spread out on the ground for a long distance. This is the only part of the building left in the ruins. You can also see furs of various animals and some rotten clothes!
In the corner, there were several bodies chained and trapped under pillars, making it look like a place where prisoners were detained.
"There are tooth marks on all these bones! This was once the lair of some monster!"
Taoist Zi Jin kicked around and saw many bones with deep tooth marks on them.
"Could it be the leopard we encountered outside the palace before?"
Brother Chongzi was guessing, but when he said this, he felt cold all over and his heart was a little numb.
This is the monster's lair. There are dead bones all over the ground, and it is filled with an indescribable nausea and resentment.
“Impossible!” Taoist Zijin shook his head gently. “That goblin has only been in this palace for a short time! Besides, when we were in the village, we didn’t hear of villagers being captured by goblins! These human corpses were probably left behind many years ago!”
Taoist Zi Jin was explaining and exploring the surrounding area. He found many giant oil lamps, some of which even had a lot of lamp oil.
When Brother Chongzi saw these things, his eyes immediately lit up.
"These are all good stuff! It is said that these lamps are all made of the fat of deep-sea mermaids! If they are out there, they are worth a fortune!"
"Yes, a lamp made of human oil is of course valuable!"
Taoist Zi Jin looked disgusted!
"What did you say? People do!" The bug's face changed!
"Where are the mermaids? Even if there are... they are a powerful tribe! There are records of them in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. How can ordinary people hunt mermaids? Moreover, to fill a jar of oil like this, at least dozens of mermaids must be killed! As far as I know, the cultivation of those mermaids is much stronger than that of Mr. Jiang Hai. How can ordinary people be their opponents at sea!"
Taoist Zijin said calmly: "So, mermaid is just a literal meaning. Now you understand the difference between human and fish, right?"
Brother Chongzi swallowed hard, and the look of joy on his face just now disappeared completely in an instant.
Moreover, he stayed very far away from these jars, as if he was afraid that the wronged souls in these jars would cause trouble for him.
"What Taoist Zijin said is correct. This mermaid clan actually disappeared quietly many, many years ago! Perhaps they did exist in the world... but it is beyond human power to find out. Therefore, in order to deceive or make a profit for themselves, some people thought of using human fat and fish fat, combined with some method, to refine this special lamp oil! The characteristic is that it is always burning and the combustion chamber is accompanied by a fragrance!"
Old man Jiang Hai knew them all! And he had no interest in them. He searched the room carefully, looking for something that could prove the path!
Old man Jiang Hai came to the corpses, and his eyes swept over the bones with a little pity, stopping on a wooden box.
"Master Zijin, there seems to be something here. Come and stand behind me to protect me. I will open it."
Old Man Jiang Hai called out, Taoist Zi Jin nodded upon hearing that and was about to take a step forward.
Brother Chongzi chuckled and said, "So Mr. Jiang Hai is also afraid of these things. Let me do it! I have this sword in my hand, but it has not been opened yet!"
As he spoke, Brother Chongzi raised the hilt of the white jade sword, which was emitting a bright light, and stood next to Old Man Jiang Hai.
Seeing that Brother Chongzi was so attentive, Mr. Jiang Hai couldn't refuse, so he took the flashlight and came to the wooden box. ?
