Although this grotto is very empty, it feels so small that every detail is exquisitely crafted.
The walls were either eroded by time or destroyed by some disaster, but they were covered with dense scars from swords and swords, but their original precision carvings and traces of residual coating color could still be seen.
The stone couch not far away was empty, with nothing on it. It was also covered with a layer of dust that almost obscured its original appearance. Only the dark lines swirling around the edge could be vaguely seen.
But even so, this stone couch is still the cleanest place in the grotto, because the ground is filled with some flocculent objects whose prototypes are unknown, residues whose prototypes cannot be seen, and bits and pieces of things similar to ores.
Well, it’s completely “empty”. It can't be said that there is nothing, but the things placed here can be seen at a glance, and even trying to find some clues seems so difficult.
And the existing things that were visible to the naked eye were all broken into dregs, and there was no need to even turn over the waste. It can be seen that those who did it were careful enough.
As a result, Ning Xia and Xie Shi later did not bother to dig for treasures. After all, judging from the traces left, those seniors who came to hunt for treasures really did not leave them a chance.
However, there is an exception in this huge grotto, which is the statue that Ningxia and Xie Shi are looking at now.
This statue is as tall as a person and is embedded in the stone wall with swords crisscrossing it. A few centimeters of the entire cross-section is exposed. It looks a bit like a relief, but also like a carved statue. The sculpture has a classical and solemn image, with full lips and slightly closed eyes. It is dressed in a simple but decent robe, and looks like a guest who is far away from the world.
This is a very typical image of a tantric disciple. You can tell by looking at the kerchief raised above this person's head that the other person's status is average and he should be just an ordinary disciple in the system.
This is the habit of Tantric disciples. They like to live in caves and usually build statues based on their own appearance indoors for worship on certain days. It is said that this can sublimate the soul bound to the mortal body and get closer to natural creations... …
It is said that such things should be the least likely to be preserved. After all, everything else in the room has been broken into pieces, but this statue is still standing here, even a little too complete. This is really strange. .
Then the two of them discovered again——
The wind pressure that is different from the overall wind direction in the grotto comes from this statue, or in other words, from the long gap at the neck of the statue.
This gap is not originally there in the statue, but was created by the fallen stone. Probably the force of the collision was too great, which caused a small crack to appear in this hard statue.
The wind pressure, which was stronger than anywhere else here, was imperceptible but could not be ignored, pouring out of that small gap. It was no wonder that Xie Shi was wrong. Could it be that there is something else hidden inside this statue?
Ning Xia and Xie Shi wanted to open it and see what was inside, but after thinking about it, they hesitated.
The problem is that the condition of this stone statue is really strange, especially when looking at the condition of other things in this room, it makes me even more confused... Why is this statue the only one that has preserved so many things? This is too unreasonable.
Don't tell them that because these people want to give these Tantric disciples some face, they don't smash the statues because this place is a forbidden area for Tantric Buddhism.
Regardless of whether those who destroyed this grotto were the traitors who destroyed the entire Shenluo Sect, or the descendants who came here to explore from generation to generation, their coming here to explore was a kind of disrespect, and they were not given anything in the first place. What a respectable person. It would be ridiculous to say that there is still some reverence left.
The two people, including Ningxia, came here to explore opportunities, and they all wanted to smash the statue when they found it, not to mention so many people who came before them?
If one of these people had a serious illness before, it would be impossible for this statue to remain until now. That it took so long can only mean that there are at least some problems with this statue.
This is why Ning Xia and Xie Shi were a little excited after discovering this statue, but they didn't know how to start. God knows what will happen after smashing it?
The two discussed for a while, and Ningxia continued to observe the stone statue, especially the crack in its neck.
Xie Shi walked around the grotto, because strangely they did not find an exit in the grotto. It is impossible for such a residence for people to have no exit, so it is very likely to be artificially hidden, and some special design is involved.
The two subconsciously thought that this might be related to the entrance and exit of the grotto, and naturally they did not dare to touch this strange statue at will.
Xie Shi walked around for a while but still found nothing. This grotto seems to be completely sealed, and there is no way to find a breakthrough. The ground is also very thick. There is no noise when I run over it, and I can't even imagine how thick the rock formations underneath are.
The vault above seems to have no end in sight, and the surrounding rock formations are high and thick. If they can't find an exit and they are accused, even flies won't be able to fly out.
Of course, they have another way, which is to use the one-way teleportation talisman issued to them by the alliance to go back and choose to give up this trip to the Ten Thousand Cave. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary and life is in danger, do not use it if you can, otherwise there will be no regret medicine.
But they have to work hard anyway, they don't want to be forced to end the journey just after it starts.
Ningxia has made some new discoveries.
"Hey, Senior Sister Fufeng... why not just smash it and have a look. Maybe we are paranoid?" And even if there is something weird inside, they can't do anything because they can't find a second breakthrough at all. Isn’t it useless to still doubt this and that if there is no breakthrough?
Ning Xia also hesitated, and rationally she felt that what Xie Shi said was right. There are many things in this world that are not always complex and complicated. Sometimes, returning to one's original nature may be the most correct path.
But there always seemed to be something wrong deep down in her heart, a little restless, always seeming to prompt her to do something.
"call--"
"Huhu——"
The cave became quiet again, and the sound of wind coming from nowhere became obvious again.
Yes, that’s it! Ning Xia's eyes suddenly widened and she touched the gap. She had checked this crack dozens of times before, and the more she touched, the more certain she became in her suspicions.
"Senior Sister Fufeng, what's wrong?" When Ning Xia was doing these actions, Xie Shi was always next to her. How could he not see anything unusual about her? He noticed it from the beginning, but Xie Shi did not choose to say anything immediately to avoid disturbing her thoughts.
