Chapter 1105 The Unknown World Behind the Stone Gate, Akagi Shrine, an Ominous Premonition!
"Aso, now I give you a chance to choose. Do you really want to go in with us?" After confirming that the entrance tunnel can be entered, Suzuki Fiana solemnly asked Mizuno Aso.
"Yes, I want it!" Aso Mizuno raised her hand high with excitement on her face. She was born with the treasure-hunting bloodline of the Mizuno family. How could she let go of such an opportunity?
"In this case, you must be mentally prepared, because there may be unknown dangers inside, so after entering, you must not wander around. You must follow me. If there is danger, go to Zhenzhong's side. "After speaking, Fiana Suzuki pointed at someone.
Aso Mizuno couldn't help but look over, thinking to himself that this guy was worthy of Fianna's sister's trust, but as the only man, he was somewhat reliable after all.
"Understood, Sister Fiana." Even though he was not looking forward to it, Aso Mizuno still said politely to someone, "Please take good care of me, Manaka-san."
Li Xuehao looked at her, nodded, and said nothing. It's not difficult for him to protect just an ordinary person.
After being prepared, several people began to take off their backpacks. Because there was only a one-meter-square hole, they couldn't get in with their backpacks on their backs. They could only carry it in their hands.
Suzuki Fiana walked in front. She held a flashlight and cautiously entered the tunnel first.
Next came Minako Suzuki and Aso Mizuno, then Sayuri Chiba and Midori Sawai. Li Xuehao was the last one because he had to put back the bluestone at the entrance to prevent anyone from accidentally seeing it.
After the bluestone slabs were put back together and closed, there was no longer even the only source of light coming in.
The tunnel is very dark, but luckily everyone has prepared flashlights and glow sticks before coming, which can come in handy at critical moments.
The only one who was empty-handed was Mizuno Aso, who was added temporarily.
The tunnel was very quiet, with only the footsteps of a few people walking down step by step, and no one was interested in talking.
I kept walking like this, walking up a long flight of stairs, which was estimated to be one or two kilometers down. The highest peak of the entire Chicheng Mountain was only over 1,800 meters, and we were almost at the foot of the mountain. It is hard to imagine that hundreds of years ago, there were actually people Digging through the entire mountain is simply a different kind of "Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain".
But when I finally saw the end, it was a stone door.
The stone door is two meters high and two meters wide. It is a square door and is divided into two leaves. There is a thin gap in the middle, so people can clearly see that it is a stone door.
However, I don’t know how thick it is. Suzuki Fiana, who was walking at the front, pushed it with her hand, but it didn’t move at all.
The corridor where the few people were standing at this time was also about two meters wide. Because they were all close to the stone gate, it seemed a bit crowded.
"There must be a mechanism here, let's look for it." After Fiana Suzuki pushed it through, she thought it would be difficult to open it manually, so she thought of the mechanism.
However, Li Xuehao knew that this stone door had no mechanism at all, but was completely sealed. Through his spiritual perception, it was even completely blocked by a door bolt. The thick door bolt was also made of stone. At least some people with thick arms , or a full five.
If people from the outside want to get in, they must first destroy the stone door bolt inside, otherwise there is no other way but to blow up the stone door. So one thing is relatively certain, the stone door bolt was inserted from the inside.
In other words, the person who dug this underground "treasure spot" did not come out, but sealed himself inside.
When you think about it, it’s incredible to think that it dug through the entire mountain, nearly two kilometers in length. Moreover, there is a warning saying "The sealed place is ominous." What terrible thing is sealed in it?
Even outside the stone gate, Li Xuehao's perception of the inside was not very clear, because the shielding formation was very powerful and seemed to be prepared to guard against practitioners like him who could sense it with their spiritual consciousness. This shows that the person who dug this underground cave in the first place is very likely a member of the same group, and his strength is definitely not weak.
Otherwise, if people 400 years ago wanted to dig through the entire mountain, it would be almost impossible for ordinary people to do it. Only practitioners can do it. They have the means and energy.
Several people searched at the door for a while, but couldn't find anything like a mechanism.
"Manaka, is there any way?" Fiana Suzuki also gave up and looked expectantly at someone who seemed to be deep in thought.
"Let me try." Li Xuehao stepped forward. He couldn't find the mechanism, so he had to rely on him. He couldn't just quit like this.
"Yes." Suzuki Fiana and Suzuki Minako both had great confidence in him, remembering that in the cave of "Sixth Heaven Demon King" Oda Nobunaga, he could lift a boulder weighing ten thousand kilograms with his bare hands. , then even if you have to violently push open these two stone doors, it must not be very difficult.
Under the watchful eyes of several people, Li Xuehao put his hands on the stone door, secretly used spiritual energy to break the latch behind the stone door, and then began to push it.
With the harsh sound of "crunching", he slowly pushed the stone door open.
Suzuki Fiana and the others were excited. Finally, the "Sealed Land" was opened. What would be inside?
…
On the other side, Akagi Shrine.
In the main hall, there are divine bodies, offerings of food and royal coins. It is the residence of the gods and the most sacred place in the shrine. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter.
At this time, an old man in hunting clothes was sitting on the ground. He had his eyes closed and his expression was peaceful. He seemed to be asleep, silently.
Suddenly, a crisp sound sounded in the main hall, which was especially clear in this silent environment, as if something was breaking apart.
The old man in hunting clothes suddenly opened his eyes, his expression was horrified. He hurriedly got up from the ground and hurriedly took out a necklace hanging around his neck. The pendant of the necklace was a round jade body that was as pure as glass, with a small small in the middle. The hole is just big enough for the rope to pass through.
The originally flawless jade ring was now covered with cracks. With a light touch, the jade ring broke into pieces with a "bang" and fell to the ground.
He was stunned for a moment, then finally came to his senses, shouted "Ah" and rushed out of the door, without any trace of his calm demeanor just now.
All other members of the shrine who heard the shouting ran towards this side. For a moment, they didn’t know what was going on and almost all of them were panicked, because the shouting came from the main hall of the shrine, where the shrine is located. Only the priests of the shrine can enter this place of residence.
The scream came from the priest. What happened to make the priest make that shrill and terrifying sound?
The old man in hunting clothes who rushed out of the main hall kept running in one direction. There was an independent small courtyard. Before he entered, he had already shouted, without the demeanor of a priest: "May! May!"
"I'm here." A pleasant female voice came from a place not far to the left. There was a cluster of flowers. A woman wearing a white top and red bottom witch costume stood up from the ground. Facing the priest, she didn't have much. Humility is just basic etiquette.
"It's not good, Tamako, someone destroyed the seal of the Akagi Daimyojin and the Numa god Akanuma Daijin, and the world will soon be in chaos." The priest's face was full of panic, as if his innocence had collapsed.
"The 'sealed place' 400 years ago?" The witch's expression also changed, but she was much better than the priest and did not show any more nervousness.
"Tamako, it's up to you now. Find the 'Sealing Place' immediately, bring the royal coins and artifacts, and be sure to seal the monster again, otherwise there will be no life left in Onuma." The priest said with a cautious and panic look on his face. .
"I understand." The witch nodded, looked at the priest and said, "You don't need to worry too much. It's just a legend. Is there really such a monster..."
"No, that kind of monster really exists!" The priest interrupted her words of comfort, "400 years ago, many people died near Chicheng Mountain, and all of them were left with only white bones, not even a bit of flesh and blood. Anyone who was killed by that After the monster devours it, it will spit out the bones without flesh and blood." After speaking, the priest looked frightened, as if he had seen that kind of monster.
The witch didn't speak, she just looked at him calmly, not sure if she really believed what he said.
"In May, bring this with you." The priest spread out his palms, which were several fragments of the jade ring he had just broken. "As long as you are close to the 'Sealed Place', these artifact fragments will emit red light... Please Please be sure to find the 'Sealed Place' and seal it again."
"Yes!" The witch took the "artifact" fragment from his hand and solemnly promised.
…
On the other side, Li Xuehao had already pushed open the stone door.
Behind the stone door is a huge space.
The space was so huge that it was hard to imagine. Fiana Suzuki shone a flashlight into it, and she couldn't even see the end. It was deep and quiet.
"Let's go in." Since she couldn't see clearly inside the space, Fiana Suzuki stopped wasting time and prepared to go in and search to see if she could find the artifact or practice notes left by the Ming people who saved Princess Qianji. .
"Wait a minute." Li Xuehao called her at the right time.
"Manaka, did you find anything?" Suzuki Fiana trusted him, so she stopped and stood just outside the door without crossing the goal line.
"Yes." Li Xuehao nodded seriously. Although there was no sound in the huge space, it seemed very safe. But an ominous premonition arose in his heart, which was a strong hint for practitioners.
It seems that I was really careless this time. I didn't feel the ominous feeling on the top of the mountain. I thought there was no danger. It turned out that even the ominous feeling was blocked by that formation. Now I went deep here and opened the Only then did he realize that the danger inside this stone gate had exceeded his expectation.
