As soon as they entered the ruins, Shi Jiu and others felt an aura of simplicity and decay. The open hall in front was covered with all kinds of spider webs, and there were five stone doors at the end of the hall. At this moment, the stone doors had been opened. , obviously someone went in.
Shi Jiu, Hao Yun and others carefully walked along the steps to the hall in front.
Previously, because they were far away and covered with spider webs, they could not clearly see the things in the hall. Now that they walked inside, Shi Jiu and others discovered that there were a large number of human bones covered by the spider webs.
"These should have been people from five doors in life." After carefully looking at the skeletons under the cobwebs, Hao Yun said expressionlessly on the side.
At this time, Shi Jiu also saw the words "Five Gates" engraved on the hilt of a long-rotted sword, and then asked casually: "Brother Hao, it seems you have known for a long time that this is the ruins of the Five Gates." ?”
"Brother Shi, don't you know?" Hao Yun was a little surprised, and then explained: "Five thousand years ago, this ancient mine mountain range was once the territory of the Five Gates, but it was destroyed because it offended a certain big shot. Close the door."
"Of course, the most obvious sign is the two words in front." As he spoke, Hao Yun pointed to the stone wall in front of him.
I saw the two characters "Five Fans" engraved directly on the top of the stone wall in front. Although the stone wall has been slightly weathered after five thousand years, these two engraved characters are still eye-catching and powerful, as new as before.
"I think back then, the Five Sects was also a big sect, and there were few people around it who could match it. Even now, the two major forces in Tianyou County, Antian Pavilion and Cangtian Sword Sect, are not as powerful as the Five Sects back then. After all, back then, There have been strong souls in the five gates of our country, and now the strongest ones from Antian Pavilion and Cangtian Sword Sect are only at the peak of the soul realm." Hao Yun next to him continued.
After hearing what Hao Yun said, Shi Jiu was also somewhat enlightened.
Although Shi Jiu is now on the path of cultivation, he still knows too little about today's strong men and sects. Hao Yun's words are undoubtedly refreshing to him.
Looking at Shi Jiu who listened humbly, Hao Yun was also satisfied for a while, and then continued: "The ruins we are now in are not the headquarters of the five gates back then. Its headquarters had long been destroyed when the gates were exterminated, and I guess here It should be a stronghold at Five Gates.”
Then, Hao Yun pointed to the bones on the ground: "These bones should be the remnants of the five doors that escaped the destruction and hid here."
Just as Hao Yun was telling Shi Jiu what he knew, there were faint sounds of fighting coming from the five stone gates ahead.
Shi Jiu and Hao Yun also looked at the five stone gates ahead.
"It seems that they found something." Hao Jun turned his head and asked Shi Jiu: "Brother Shi, are you going in now?"
"My abilities are limited, so I just wander around this hall. Brother Hao, what about you?"
"I'm going to take a look, maybe I can catch some." Hao Yun said with a smile.
"Then I wish Hao Yun good luck and many harvests." Shi Jiu said with cupped hands.
"Thank you, I'll take the first step." After saying that, Hao Yun took two guards and entered the stone door in the middle.
Seeing Hao Yun disappearing inside the stone gate, Shi Jiu was not depressed. With his current cultivation in the spirit realm, he was no match for those inside the stone gate. Instead of dying, he would rather hang out here. If something unexpected happened, he could leave immediately. .
Except for spider webs and weathered bones, nothing else could be found in the hall, so everyone except Shi Jiu entered the stone door in front.
"The disciples of the Five Gates who fled here, although they escaped pursuit, still died here." Looking at the scattered skeletons around him, Shi Jiu thought to himself.
Shi Jiu looked around as he walked. There was nothing else in the hall except scattered skeletons. Shi Jiu was a little disappointed.
Just as Shi Jiu was walking slowly in the ruins hall, a skeleton next to the ruins exit immediately attracted his attention. The skeleton's head was slightly lowered, his hands were folded around his chest, and his legs were sitting cross-legged under the stone platform.
Shi Jiu walked to the skeleton and looked at it carefully.
This skeleton had been seriously injured during its lifetime, with obvious stab wounds on its left ribs, and a rusty blade remaining under its abdomen.
Just when Shi Jiu recovered his gaze and was about to leave, a faint light flashed from the skeleton's left hand.
Shi Jiu stepped forward and looked carefully at the skeleton's chest.
"There is something."
Shi Jiu opened the skeleton's hands, and something made of jade fell down.
Shi Jiu quickly caught it.
This is a jade box, and the faint light just now should be the light reflected from the jade box through the gaps in the hand bones.
Shi Jiu didn't think much and immediately put the jade box into his black jade spoon.
It's not safe here and they could come at any time. Shi Jiu planned to check carefully after going out.
At this time, the fighting inside the stone gate gradually began to subside. "It's time to leave." Shi Jiu looked at the direction of the stone gate, and then quickly walked towards the exit of the ruins.
After walking out of the ruins, Shi Jiu was not in a hurry to leave. He knew that someone was already ambushing the people outside.
He pretended to be annoyed, and then walked slowly sideways.
"Stop, hand over your things, I will spare your life!" Suddenly three people jumped out from behind the boulder and blocked Shi Jiu's way.
"Fool, can the good things inside be my turn?" Shi Jiu said sarcastically.
"You came out without finding the treasure? Do you think we are fools? If you don't hand over the things, I..." Before the other party could finish his harsh words, Shi Jiu kicked the other party in the stomach, and then the other party flew out. .
Seeing this, the other two people hurriedly slashed at Shi Jiu with their knives.
After swinging over and attacking, Shi Jiu punched left and right and easily knocked the two opponents away.
Afterwards, Shi Jiu walked behind the boulder where the three people were hiding. Of course, he did not want to imitate others in ambushing those who were fighting for the treasure in the ruins.
Shi Jiu also wants to see who can get the treasures in the ruins. In addition, he also wants to see if Hao Yun, whom he met before, can also gain something.
"Damn! It turns out we are in the same group!" The three people who had just been kicked away felt a little angry when they saw Shi Jiu hiding behind the boulder where they had previously hidden. The other party not only occupied their favorable terrain, but also beat them. Although he was angry inside, he suddenly stopped thinking about the opponent's strength.
Half an hour later, people walked out of the ruins one after another, and the originally peaceful ruins suddenly became lively.
The robbers who had been ambushing outside the ruins all rushed out, "If you want to survive, hand over the treasure quickly!"
The first group of people to come out of the ruins were all injured, and most of them failed to get any benefits. They were also injured in the fight. When they heard that someone was robbing them in front of them, they all looked angry.
"I'm holding back my breath, and it's time to come out." With that said, the first group of people to come out rushed towards the blockers ahead with weapons in hand.
Watching the fight not far away, Shi Jiu was not interested, and still stared at the exit of the ruins.
Not long after, people from Antian Pavilion and Cangtian Sword Sect also came out. The people from both sides were still divided into two teams, and they were all on guard against each other, and most of them had obvious scars on their bodies.
"Huh? Shen Chuxiong is not dead after all." Shi Jiu saw Shen Chuxiong and his two junior brothers and junior sisters in the team on the right at a glance.
"I'm so lucky to have come here. I just don't know what they found."
At this time, Shen Chuxiong and the three others were all injured, and they were guarding the Antian Pavilion team with swords.
Everyone who was still fighting outside the ruins stopped at this time and wisely made way for the Antian Pavilion and Cangtian Sword Sect teams. Obviously, none of these people wanted to offend these two factions. Even if they knew that these two factions had obtained treasures in the ruins, no one dared to rob them.
Walking at the back of the two teams were the great elders of the two factions. However, they were not wary of each other like the rest of the team. Instead, they were smiling and talking to each other.
"Brother Tianming, your sect has gained quite a lot today!" the great elder of Antian Pavilion said with a smile.
"Both and each other, it's just a pity that we couldn't find the Big Dipper Star Step. I wonder if it was found by you, Brother Yuan Bo?" the elder of the Cangtian Sword Sect responded.
"Oh? Really? I'm still thinking if you got it, how can I exchange it for you?"
"In that case, let's say goodbye." After saying that, Chen Tianming led everyone from the Cangtian Sword Sect and left the valley.
Watching the opponent's team leave, the great elder of Antian Pavilion looked a little serious, and then waved his hand and led the team away.
