Ye Fan and Er Lengzi returned to Shizhai, and in the following days, he earnestly learned the method of finding the source from the old people in the village.
At the same time, he is actively preparing. If he wants to enter Purple Mountain, he must know everything about it.
"You have asked so many questions, do you still want to enter Zishan?" In the past few days, Ye Fan always asked about Zishan, Zhang Wuye frowned, and said: "Really don't take risks, or you will only lose your life .”
"Don't you want to retrieve the Yuantian Book?" Ye Fan smiled.
"Of course, I don't want to cut off the inheritance of the things left by the ancestors, but there is no way. The ancestor thousands of years ago did not listen to the ancestors' instructions, and used it to break through the Purple Mountain. It is gone forever, and it is difficult to take it back."
According to Zhang Wuye, the Yuantian Book is a spiritual object that can be used as a weapon.
"If you tell me the details of the past, maybe I can find the Yuantian Book back."
Mr. Zhang Wu shook his head and said, "You have done us a great favor in Shizhai, I don't want you to die."
"I have the means to protect myself, you can rest assured."
No matter how much he persuaded, Zhang Wuye opposed his taking risks.
Five days later, Ye Fan came to an ancient mine more than a hundred miles away from Shizhai. This is where Chen Dahuzi and the others discovered the ancient jade.
That piece of ancient jade was related to Purple Mountain, so he naturally wanted to explore it.
This place is desolate, there is no human habitation at all, the ancient mine is full of ghosts, and it has been abandoned for an unknown number of years, and there is a musty smell inside.
This is a huge mine, like a sinkhole, the ground is dark and bottomless, and standing here alone is a little hairy.
"It won't be evil, will it?"
The underground of the mine was extremely quiet, there was no sound at all, and Ye Fan went down for a full kilometer before reaching the bottom. He had to be surprised, this is a huge ore vein, which is really rare, and a large amount must have been dug out in the past.
It's a pity that everything has been dusty and ancient, and there will be no rare treasures left.
"Crack!"
There was a sound under his feet, and he stepped on a dead bone. This should be a person who died in the past hundred years, not a corpse left over from ancient times.
The huge ancient mine is full of traces of knives and axes, all left by the predecessors, which records the blood and tears of the people who collected the source in the past.
"Whoever left the ancient jade here must have an unusual identity, and it is absolutely impossible to appear here for no reason."
Ye Fan soon came to the place where the ancient jade was discovered, but there was nothing special there. He searched here for an hour, and then moved on, wanting to explore the deepest part of the ancient mine.
After walking a full five kilometers underground, I still haven't reached the end. This big mine seems to lead to the dark, dark and lonely.
After walking another three kilometers, Ye Fan couldn't help but gasp. The ancient mine with a length of eight kilometers has not yet reached its end. What kind of concept is this
Ordinary mines are only a few hundred meters away. This mine is so huge that he thinks it can't be a source line. It should be that many mines have been dug through.
But why is there only one exit
"If this is a huge source vein, it may be the legendary dragon vein..." Ye Fan was surprised, that is to say, some divine sources may have been bred here.
Obviously, many people have been here since the ancient times, leaving many traces.
After advancing a full 10,000 meters, Ye Fan came to the end when he heard the sound of splashing water.
There was no way forward, only a deep hole straight down, from which the sound of the water came.
Ye Fan looked down and felt that the underground river was very cold, like a blunt knife scraping flesh, making his skin ache.
"It's weird..."
He thought for a while, then jumped in with a plop, moving forward in the underground river.
The river was piercing, and he protected his body with divine power, but he still felt the chill. After traveling for about a dozen miles, the traces of knives and axes from mining were gradually gone on the edge of the dark river.
Ye Fan gritted his teeth and continued to move forward. He discovered an abnormal phenomenon. The direction of the underground underground river remained the same, and it went straight. After another twenty miles, it remained the same.
In the end, he traveled a total of forty or fifty miles along the underground river before finally stopping.
Because, at this moment, he felt a great danger. A black hole like a big funnel appeared in front of him, and all the underground rivers flowed into it, as if it would never be able to fill it.
For some reason, after arriving here, Ye Fan shuddered Linglingly. The huge black hole in front of him, like a big funnel, seemed to be able to swallow his mind, which gave him a creepy feeling.
"This is not a good place. I came here to explore ancient jade. I want to enter that purple mountain. There is no need to take risks here."
Ye Fan didn't want to rush into the huge black hole leading to the ground, and returned along the original road of the dark river. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he reappeared in the ancient mine.
"Huh!" At this moment, Ye Fan was startled suddenly, thought of something, and said to himself, "Could it be..."
He quickly rushed out of the 10,000-meter-long and 1,000-meter-deep ancient mine, came to the ground, then determined the location of the underground river, and ran on the ground.
Ye Fan was shocked when he rushed out tens of miles, that is, to the end corresponding to the underground river.
Just ahead, a dead and silent mountain ridge lay across the blood-colored land, blocking the way, like a horned dragon, twisting and winding, majestic and towering.
With Zishan as the center, there are a total of nine mountains in all directions, and this is just one of them.
"It's really a big deal!" Ye Fan sighed, the area of tens of miles, even nearly a hundred miles, is related to that purple mountain.
Ye Fan has flown to high altitudes to observe more than once, and one end of the Nine Mountains is all facing Zishan, which is very regular.
After thinking for a while, he returned to Shizhai, carved Zishan and Jiudao Mountains on the cowhide according to a certain proportion, handed them to Zhang Wuye, and asked him, "Is there anything special about such mountains and rivers?"
Although Zhang Wuye lives here, he is just a mortal after all, and it is impossible for him to stand high in the sky like Ye Fan, and everything can be seen.
When he saw this clear map of landforms, he stood up in surprise, and said, "This is... you can actually see it."
"So you know all this?"
"My ancestors saw the extraordinaryness of Zishan because of these nine mountains." Zhang Wuye spread out the cowhide and said, "Come and see, what does it look like?"
"I can't see what it looks like, but it feels that the arrangement is very symmetrical. One end of the Jiudao Mountains faces the Purple Mountain in the central area."
"This is nine dragon veins, guarding one bead!"
Ye Fan was a little speechless, how could the nine mountains look like dragons, and the purple mountain stood up and down, like a big iron sword, not like beads at all.
"You haven't studied the "Book of Origin", so naturally you won't associate it with this aspect. This is indeed the dragon's veins, a pearl guarded by nine dragons!"
"What's the point?" Ye Fan asked.
"It's too particular. There are detailed records in Yuantian Book. I only know a little bit. This kind of 'big trend' has endless mysteries."
Ye Fan was moved and said, "What do you say?"
"My ancestors once said that the Kowloon guards a pearl, and the changes in the poor world are extremely mysterious!"
"What's so mysterious?" Ye Fan asked.
"Don't talk about mortals, even powerful monks can't bear this kind of 'big trend'. My ancestors only said one thing, non-ancient emperors can't move such a 'big trend'."
Ye Fan felt his heart itch when he heard it, and asked, "Did your ancestor, Master Yuan Tian, explain it in more detail?"
"No. But one thing is certain, my ancestors were scared away precisely because they saw the secret of Zishan, and they didn't dare to ask the fairies of Yaochi to help them."
"This..." Ye Fan was shocked.
"Other ancestors of my Zhang family who have cultivated the "Book of Yuantian" failed to comprehend all of the book, and only speculated that there is a big secret hidden here."
Ye Fan wanted to know the answer more and more, and said, "Don't you find any clues, can't you get a glimpse of the secret?"
"Many ancestors agree that all of this points to the ancient emperor, who may have planted some terrible things here..."
"What did he use the 'general trend' of this place to plant?" Ye Fan said to himself, "The desolate ancient times in the monk's mouth are 100,000 years away from now, and the great emperor hundreds of thousands of years ago, what's the use for him if he planted these?"
Ye Fan didn't understand, the great emperor who had already turned dust to dust returned to dust, what's the point of doing these things
"Maybe it was prepared for future generations..." Mr. Zhang Wu shook his head and said, "Only by thoroughly understanding the "Book of Origin Heaven" can we understand what the great emperor is going to do."
There are living creatures there, belonging to the pre-immemorial race, Ye Fan murmured in his heart, it was difficult to understand the motive of the great emperor.
"I just saw an ancient mine, pointing to a mountain, the ground has been hollowed out, like the dragon vein of the source, there must not be a source of gods there?" Ye Fan talked about the abandoned ancient mine.
"Actually, the ancient mine leads directly to that mountain, and all the nine mountains have been hollowed out."
"This..." Ye Fan was taken aback, and said, "What a huge project this is?"
"The means of the ancient emperors are unimaginable, and they can do all of this."
"This is also what the great emperor did, and it wasn't caused by mining by later generations?" Ye Fan asked.
Zhang Wuye said: "Some ancestors of my Zhang family speculated that the nine dragon veins all have peerless divine sources, but they were all hollowed out, and they were all gathered in that dragon ball."
"Why is this happening?" Ye Fan was startled.
"The ancestors who have compiled the "Book of Origin" speculated that it was to promote the 'general trend' of this place, gather the essence of the nine dragon veins, and store them in the dragon bead. The nine dragons guard one bead to really highlight that bead."
Everything is in the bead, the bureaus set up by the ancient emperors are all related to that purple mountain, and the nine mountains are just "green leaves".
"I really want to know what the emperor was going to do hundreds of thousands of years ago!"
Since ancient times, Donghuang has only produced a few great emperors. They can sacrifice extreme weapons and create the most profound ancient scriptures, and their methods are against the sky.
What is the purpose of a great emperor going to such great lengths to come up with such a big deal
Time flies, two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Fan has learned a lot about the "skin" of "Book of Origin".
He prepared for a long time and learned enough details. He even had a clear idea of where the ancestor of the Zhang family entered Zishan in the past.
Now, he decided to take action, entered Zishan, and retrieved the source book.
Purple Mountain has endless secrets, while Yuantian Book has endless magic power. As long as he can obtain and cultivate this book, he can see everything.
"I must become Yuan Tianshi, I can only give it a try, otherwise the road of cultivation is coming to an end." Ye Fan decided to enter Zishan immediately!
