Garen frowned and glanced around.
"It seems that Ansara deliberately set up an opportunity to let us in. What exactly is he trying to do?"
"Who knows?" Su Lin shrugged, "Let's go, there is a waterfall ahead, let's see how Anshaluo guides us, he must have made arrangements."
Garen nodded, and the three of them walked slowly towards the small waterfall ahead.
In the large green grassy pine forest, the small white waterfall is like a square white gauze inlaid in the middle, and on the right is an oval ruin of white stone.
The ruins are full of remains of gray and white stone houses, broken walls and ruins, overgrown with weeds, gray and green mixed together.
The three of them walked slowly from the edge of the waterfall into the ruins. Gallon replaced Su Lin and went to the front to explore the way.
He looked up at the incomplete three-story building on both sides, and the windows on the floor were all black and empty. Cold and lifeless.
"This used to be a small village. Judging from the time, it should be a village decades ago." Gallon whispered, "From the weathering of these buildings, we can see the height and density of the surrounding weeds and trees."
"That's true. To be sure, it should be like fifty or sixty years ago." Su Lin was more precise.
Garen glanced at him. "You even understand this?"
"Don't underestimate me, I'm a genius with five professional college diplomas!" Su Lin laughed.
"Now that we're here, where is Anshaluo's guide? Since he got us here, he will never let us wander around." Celine interjected. "Shall we split up and look for signs or something?"
"It's not necessary." Garen suddenly raised his head and looked at an alley between the buildings on the left. The alley was a little deep, and it was very quiet inside. He didn't know where it led. From a distance, the ground at the exit of the other end was covered with raised brown rocks and green weeds.
"Can you smell it?" Garen glanced at Celine.
"No, I'm still disturbed." Celine shook her head.
"This kind of architectural layout is very similar to the ancient Yinduo pattern in the past. It is clearly a ruin of a building decades ago, but it uses the design pattern of the ancient Yinduo civilization. This place is a bit weird." Gallon wondered.
"An Shaluo must have a purpose for guiding us here." Celine guessed, "Could it be that the secret of the Golden Sword Seat is hidden here?"
"Who knows." Garen was noncommittal, "The Golden Sword Seat from the Naptas Empire from Five Star Continent has nothing to do with our ancient Yinduo civilization in Shiyan Continent?"
"Look for it." Su Lin suggested.
"It is indeed as you said, the layout here is very similar to the ancient ancient Yinduo buildings. If it is really related to the ancient Yinduo, then let's take a look at the overall layout of the entire village first." Garen frowned, "I need more information More information to determine the key areas here. Please help me count how many buildings here, and the shape of the distribution."
"Ok, let's split up." Su Lin nodded, "Celine, are you safe?"
Celine curled her lips: "It's okay to hit you two. You are the weakest here."
Su Lin discussed the direction with Celine speechlessly, and spread out to the left and right sides to learn about the terrain.
Garen was in charge of checking the details here.
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the wall on the right. It was covered with weird gray moss, and it felt wet and greasy to the touch, and it was a bit shady.
Walking in the ruins, Su Lin and Shilin had already gone far away, and the surroundings returned to a state of silence again.
Garen walked forward slowly.
"If it's an ancient sound with multiple layouts," he narrowed his eyes slightly as he recalled the knowledge of ancient architecture he had learned from the old man. "Maybe it's there!"
He slowly walked out of the ruins along the road between the houses, walked half a circle around the ruins, and finally came to an open space surrounded by incomplete metal railings.
This open space is full of crooked and broken gray-white stones, and green weeds protrude from between the stones, making it look barren and peaceful.
Garen walked in through a gap in the guardrail, walking slowly in the open space with one foot high and the other foot low.
Looking down at the stones on the ground, these stones are extremely flat, but some are broken and some are crooked.
Garen took a few steps, his eyes seemed to be calculating something, and he slowly stood beside a gray-white stone slanted into the ground.
Just about to squat down, he suddenly hesitated and looked back towards the ruins of the village.
Celine and Su Lin were walking towards this side quickly. Approaching Celine was the first to speak.
"There should be a total of twelve buildings here."
"The shape is a triangle. It's a very standard triangle. It's really weird." Su Lin said with a strange look on his face.
Garen nodded, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stood motionless.
After several minutes, he came back to his senses.
"I know the situation." He left his original position, lowered his head to look for something in the open space, and soon, he stood on a weedy field between gravels.
He squatted down, groped on the grass, seemed to grab something, and pulled it up violently.
Snapped!
There was an extra black metal ring in Garen's hand. It seemed to be connected to something, and he pulled it off.
"According to Gu Yinduo's style." Garen recalled the knowledge he had learned at the beginning. He didn't realize it until after the old man died. All the old man gave him were secret knowledge that could not be found in books on the market. They were all other identifications. Precious knowledge that no one can find in a lifetime.
He carefully observed the subtle handwriting on the ring, stood up, walked forward ten steps quickly, and then stood still.
"This used to be a cemetery." Garen turned his head to Sulin and Celine and whispered. "follow me."
Su Lin and Celine both saw that Garen seemed to have discovered something, and hurriedly followed.
The three walked to the shade of a tree at the edge of the cemetery.
Garen groped on the ground, and violently dug up some yellow soil, and soon a rectangular gray-white stone slab was exposed on the grass. Indistinct characters were engraved on the slate.
'Em Fendo, may you sleep peacefully in the ground. 2867.3.1'
"This is the tomb of someone who lived here. It's 2867. It's 2987 now. It's been 120 years!" Su Lin frowned, "What do you want to do, Garen?"
"Here is the key." Garen reached out and clasped the sides of the stone slab, "I want to open it and have a look."
With a sudden force, the stone slab was immediately lifted up and opened to the side.
Garen turned his face and looked in.
There was actually a dark hollow under the tomb, a rectangular black hole emitting cold air and stench constantly. The smell of rotting rotten eggs kept pouring out of the cave.
Looking into the black hole, you can't see the bottom at all.
"As expected of an appraisal expert!" Su Lin whistled, "You actually discovered the relics of ancient civilization!"
"Forget it, this is a traditional tomb a long time ago. It is a grave cellar used to store corpses." Gallon said angrily, "This kind of burial was very popular in Shiyan Island a long time ago. Because people believe that people are even after death. The soul also needs life and daily life, so the tomb will also be built as an underground cellar similar to a living person, and there are even living rooms, bedrooms, storage rooms, etc. in it."
"Tch, I thought it was some big discovery." Su Lin showed disappointment, took out the flashlight and turned it on, "I'll take care of it."
He stood at the edge of the cave and shone down with the flashlight, and some of the dirt debris from the leather boots under his feet fell into the black hole.
Su Lin leaned over his head carefully according to the flashlight and looked down.
laugh! !
Suddenly, a black line shot out from the hole, stabbing fiercely at Su Lin's face.
"Be careful!!" Garen didn't have time to stop it, the black line was too fast, it was a black Mitsubishi spike, spinning at high speed and shooting towards Su Lin's eyebrows with a very quiet sound.
He suddenly stretched out his hand to block Su Lin's face, but it was too late.
ah! !
Su Lin staggered, sat back and fell to the ground. He covered his face tightly with his hands, panting heavily.
"What... what!!" His words were a little incoherent. At that moment just now, he clearly felt that he was passing by the edge of death.
Seeing him dodging, Garen and Celine were also relieved.
Letting go of his hand, Su Lin now has a red scar like eye shadow under his right eye, adding a touch of charm and sharpness to his already extremely handsome face.
"It's a good thing I sensed it in advance, so get out of the way quickly, or you'll be in trouble." He was a little terrified now. The red scars under the eyes gradually faded away.
"As long as it's fine, what's that under your eyes?" Garen asked suspiciously.
"A kind of secret martial art I practiced has some side effects, so I can't use it often." Su Lin smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that it would force me to play my hole card just after I started."
"Secret martial arts? The secret method that simplifies some of Mi Buri's application skills and can be used by ordinary fighters. Many powerful non-secret martial artists know some of them." Seeing Garen's doubts, Celine explained directly. "Of course, this kind of secret method is much worse than the authentic secret martial arts, and it has side effects."
Garen understood and nodded: "Okay, if I'm right, this tomb should contain the secrets of the ancient Yinduo civilization. Anshaluo asked us to come here, and his purpose should be to unlock the secrets of the ancient Yinduo civilization here. where."
He stretched out his hand to explore the edge of the black hole, feeling the active cool wind blowing from the hole.
"This should not only be the tomb of the dead, it should also be connected to other exits. The tomb of the dead should only have one entrance and exit."
"That is to say, this is an underground passage?" Celine's eyes began to light up.
"It is indeed very possible." Garen threw a stone in, then stretched out his hand and shook it above the hole, making sure that there was no danger to come out, "Okay, we can go down, the poisonous gas inside has almost dissipated."
"Are you going in?"
"You must go in. If my guess is correct, there should be a certificate for the dead at the entrance to enter the ruins of Gu Yinduo." Garen replied in a low voice, "This is Gu Yinduo's rule."
The three of them used flashlights to carefully shine into the entrance of the cave again, and they saw the gray steps extending down from the entrance of the cave.
There is a white stone column on the right side of the steps, and an oval redstone block is contained in an exquisite stone bowl above it. It's only the size of a fist, and it's full of exquisitely carved patterns and symbols.
"That's it, I'll get it." Garen stepped on the stone steps carefully, took two steps inside, and reached out to touch the stone bowl.
Ding Ding! !
Two crisp sounds flashed on the back of his hand, and Garen's hand sank, and two identical Mitsubishi thorns shot down from above, hitting the back of Garen's hand accurately. Lights up with subtle golden sparkles.
"What a power!"
Garen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued to reach out and grab it.
hiss!
Garen withdrew his hand abruptly, and white smoke came out from his fingers, filling the air with the scorched smell of burnt skin.
He looked at his index finger, and it was scorched all at once, and the entire skin of the finger pulp seemed to have been scalded by high temperature.
