At the end of the beam of the refined tactical flashlight is a cliff, part of which extends outward, and there is nothing visible above it. Ning Tao observed carefully. The cliff was about a hundred meters above the ground. The ripples of ink in the soil inkstone were pointing to that cliff.
Ning Tao poured away the ink, put away the soil inkstone, and climbed up the cliff using both hands and feet. It only took him a few minutes to climb to the top of the cliff. He shined his tactical flashlight forward, and the wreckage of a sunken ship came into his sight without warning.
The sunken ship has been broken into several pieces. The largest and most advanced ships in ancient times were those of the Ming Dynasty. The treasure ships of Zheng He's voyages to the West were several times larger than the ships of Columbus's discovery of America. However, this wooden sunken ship was in such bad condition that it was impossible to tell whether it was a Western ship or an ancient Chinese ship.
Ning Tao walked towards the wreckage of the sunken ship with a tactical flashlight. He did not take out the earth-seeking inkstone, but directly awakened the gazing state of his eyes. Just a few seconds after that, a ball of green spiritual energy entered his sight.
In fact, there is not much difference between the aura on a cultivator, the demon aura on a demon, and the aura on a magic weapon, because they are all based on the aura of heaven and earth. If there must be a difference, it would just be that the cyan of the aura on the cultivator is lighter, the cyan of the demon's aura on the demon is thicker, and the aura of the magic weapon is the thickest, because no matter what kind of magic weapon it is, it will be used A large amount of spiritual materials are then refined through complicated processes. During this period, the cultivator or demon who refines the magic weapon also consumes a lot of spiritual power, so the cyan color of the spiritual energy on the magic weapon is also the most obvious.
Therefore, relying on his experience in this area, Ning Tao could tell at a glance that what was hidden in the wreckage of a section of the ship was a magic weapon, not a deep-sea fish monster, and it was even less likely to be a cultivator lurking there.
Ning Tao quickened his pace and came to the wreckage of the ship, shining the beam of his tactical flashlight into the interior of his ship. What came into his eyes were pieces of ship planks and ship beams covered with moss and shell corpses, as well as decayed wooden furniture, such as boxes and tables. The green aura emanates from a pile of wood. The closer you get, the stronger the aura you feel.
Suddenly, the beam of the tactical flashlight illuminated a green and white corpse, which was hanging on the broken beam of the ship. The green ones were moss and the white ones were bones. Its clothes were long gone. Judging from the size of the bones, it was very tall in front of it, at least two meters tall. It was almost impossible for ancient Asians to have such a height.
"Is he really the ancestor of Charles? Wait..." Ning Tao's eyes suddenly fell on the skull's forehead, and he could no longer look away.
There was a dark mark on the forehead of the skeleton, and it was that mark that gave Ning Tao a strange feeling. With a thought in his heart, he jumped up and landed on the broken ship's beam.
But before Ning Tao could reach out to grab the skeleton, the ship's beam suddenly broke with a click. He and the skeleton fell, hitting a pile of rotten boards.
No dust was stirred up. Ning Tao's back crushed all the wooden boards, but was hit hard by something. The moss-covered skeleton hit Ning Tao because of its lighter weight. The ribs, spine, leg bones, arm bones, etc. fell in all directions, and the skull also rolled to the side.
Ning Tao didn't bother to pick up the skull. He dug open the rotten wood that was crushed by his back and butt, and a box was exposed.
This box is square, one meter high and one meter wide. It has a simple shape and looks very grand.
In Charles's drawing, this box only had seals and runes on the surface of the upward lid, but what Ning Tao saw was that there were seals and runes on all four sides of the box. Although he did not see the bottom of the box, There are also seals and runes expected.
The box is also made of wood, but even though the ship has decayed, it has not been affected by the sea water and pressure at all. The surface is still clean and smooth, but the color looks very old.
Ning Tao took a closer look at the runes on the lid of the box. He had been studying runes for a long time, but he didn't recognize any of the runes on the box. The seal looked like an "X" The pattern is composed of spiral patterns one after another, with a small rune in the center of each spiral pattern. But even with the concept of "seal", when Ning Tao saw it on the drawing, he thought it was a bit like a court seal. He couldn't even determine this concept, let alone interpret it.
Ning Tao secretly said in his heart: "These runes are obviously the runes of the Yinyue people, so they are related to the Yinyue people. If this box is the box of the Yinyue people, then this ship is very likely to be that of the Yinyue people. The ship of the Yin Yue people, but..."
The Yinyue people were destroyed during the Warring States Period. This is recorded in ancient books, and the archaeological experts on the archaeological team that entered the Shenlongjia to look for the Yinyue people also said so.
"Did Charles deceive me about the age of the sunken ship? The sunken ship is far older than the five hundred years he said? Most likely, he can say that the sunken ship is the property of their family. In the passage of time, It's normal for you to lie to me about the problem." Ning Tao continued to analyze, "If this ship was from the Warring States Period, or the ship of the Yinyue people before, might they have encountered some disaster, so they wanted to take this box away? Transported away and ended up being killed here?”
After analyzing this, Ning Tao suddenly remembered something, turned around and picked up the skull.
The skull was no different from a human skull, except that there was a crescent-shaped black mark on the forehead.
Ning Tao put his nose in front of the black mark, awakening his nose's smelling state. At this moment, various smells of shipwrecks, skulls, and sea flooded into his nostrils, and there was also a smell he was familiar with—the smell of cloud ore!
Ning Tao's heart suddenly became excited: "It is indeed a Yinyue Man! This is the skeleton of a Yinyue Man!"
In the ruins of Yinyue City, Ning Tao didn't even see the skeleton of a Yinyue man, but he could use the drug allergic reaction of Xunzu Dan to capture the past time and space of Yinyue City. In the picture he captured, the Yin Yue people were all very tall, and both men, women, and children had a crescent-shaped mark drawn with cloud ore powder on their foreheads. The powder of cloud mineral will not disappear. If applied to the same location for a long time, it will penetrate into the skin and finally be absorbed on the bones. He hadn't thought of this before, but now he suddenly figured it out. This also explained why he couldn't capture brain waves when he applied it on his forehead, but the Yin Yue people could. It was the Yin Yue people who turned the cloud ore into their a part of!
Ning Tao endured the excitement in his heart and placed the skull on the ground. He turned back to the box and couldn't wait to reach out and lift the lid.
There was no lock on the box, and it seemed that the lid could be lifted with just a little force.
Is the legendary time-suppressing tower that ranks eighth on the list of evil magic weapons in this box
The answer seems to be revealed in the next second, and perhaps the secret of the disappearance of the Yinyue people will be solved.
However, it was this "one second" that blocked Ning Tao. As soon as his hand touched the lid of the box and he used force to lift it up, a strange energy field was suddenly activated and was released from the box with a bang. , Ning Tao was caught off guard and was suddenly hit, and his whole body flew out like a cannonball.
The wreckage of the sunken ship was even more vulnerable. When the energy shock wave hit, the already rotten wood was instantly shaken into powder and rushed into the distance with the sea water.
A few seconds ago, there was a wreckage on this cliff platform that barely looked like a ship, but now it was empty, with only a strange box left.
Ning Tao's body flew directly off the cliff, and then fell into the abyss of the seabed.
Whoosh!
A rope penetrated the water and plunged into the rock.
That's a medicinal rope.
Ning Tao grabbed the herb collection rope and returned to the cliff. He also held a skull in his hand, which was the skull of the Yin Yue man.
Ning Tao returned to the wooden box, but this time he did not dare to reach out and open it. Just the energy shock just now, if he hadn't been trained to take it casually, and had the Tianbao magic robe to protect him, his internal organs would have been shattered to pieces!
Looking back now, when I looked at the picture, my intuition that the pattern was a seal was correct. It really is a seal.
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation Diagram ranked seventh is not that powerful. How powerful is the Soul Suppressing Tower ranked eighth? No, this is not the energy field of the Soul Suppressing Tower, but this box..." Ning Tao pondered in his mind. , his mind is also searching for information about all the information he has come into contact with about the Yinyue people.
A few minutes later…
Ning Tao opened the small medicine box, took out the small porcelain bottle containing the fourth version of Xunzu Pill, unplugged the cork, poured out the Xunzu Pill inside, and at that moment his nose entered again. The state of listening skills.
boom!
The scene in front of him was distorted. In his sight was a mountain of flames and smoke. The seawater is pouring in overwhelmingly, seeming to submerge the erupting volcano.
This is a picture of a static past time and space. It is obviously a crustal movement that occurred in prehistoric times. The volcanoes he saw have now become the mountains of Haiti.
"Is it because that energy shock wave destroyed the energy structure here and I can't see the pictures of the past time and space related to this sunken ship?" Ning Tao thought secretly in his heart.
Sudden! The originally still scene moved, and the huge wave thousands of meters high crashed down from the sky. Ning Tao subconsciously raised his arms to protect his head. But even though he had practiced taking casualties and was protected by Tianbao magic robes, he was able to suppress the huge waves thousands of meters high, but the devastating momentum still made him deeply feel the insignificance of human beings.
So what about cultivators, they are just ants in front of the power of this world!
