The space behind the stone door is unimaginably large.
At first glance, it feels as if the entire bottom of Dahong Mountain has been hollowed out.
There was clear light coming from nowhere, illuminating the entire incredibly huge space.
In the huge space behind the stone gate, there are many stone houses. Some of these stone houses are built on flat ground, and some are carved into the inner walls of the surrounding mountains. To be more precise, they are stone caves that can be used for human habitation.
There are straight roads between the stone houses. In addition, there are some houses that look like granaries and storage rooms. There is also a large open space where many stone pillars like drying poles are erected.
Shu Guan, who has lived in a mountain village for many years, can tell at a glance that this is a village with complete facilities in all aspects.
A village hidden deep in the mountains!
It is somewhat similar to Taoyuan Village.
But what kind of people were living here back then?
Shu Guan stood silently under the stone door for a while, not rushing in.
In such a huge space, it is easy for people to have feelings of insignificance.
But Shu Guan didn't move, and several other people stood behind him, not daring to move forward.
Jiang Yun was originally the organizer of this exploration trip as he gathered people here, but before he knew it, Shu Guan became the leader of this team.
Shu Guan stood at the stone door for a minute or two, not noticing anything unusual in the space behind the door, and then stepped into the straight passage behind the stone door.
Walking into the village and looking at the stone houses on both sides of the road, Shu Guan once again felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Because the styles of those stone houses are very different, some of them look no different from the houses where normal people live.
Some houses are so small that it would be difficult for a normal adult man to walk into the house even if he bends down.
Some houses are very large, with the doorway alone being three or four meters high.
Moreover, the styles of the houses vary greatly. Some are simple and rough. They are just piled up with some huge stones and are considered to be a house. Some are also built with simple stones, but on the walls. Carved with exquisite patterns.
This village is like many people with different lifestyles and customs living together.
Of course, it may not all be human...
Because occasionally you can see some weird bones on the roads in the villages or in some houses with unique shapes.
These bones were not as intact as the giant wolf bones outside the stone gate, and almost all of them had been corrupted, but it was still clearly identifiable that they were definitely not human bones.
For example, there is a pile of skeletal remains with long tail vertebrae.
Some of the bones are as thick as a big tree. It's hard to imagine how huge its body must have been.
After searching this village hidden deep in the mountains, everyone's expressions became a little strange.
Although they have not encountered any danger so far and the village is quiet, a strange and inexplicable feeling arises in everyone's heart.
…
"...What exactly is this place?"
Song Ya asked with a slightly trembling voice.
Although she was a practitioner of the First Awareness Realm, she was a woman after all, so she would inevitably be less courageous. After entering the stone gate just now, she consciously followed Shu Guan, never leaving more than three steps away.
Shu Guan looked at Jiang Yun.
There was a wry smile on Jiang Yun's face, which seemed to be because he originally thought that this valley was not a fairy cave, but as a place of relics related to the Monkey Army, he should be able to find some magic weapons, Taoism and the like. .
But who would have thought that there is actually a village at the bottom of this valley!
At this time, they had searched most of the entire village, including those inside the houses.
There are no martial arts, no Taoist techniques, no magic weapons, and no elixirs.
There were only some strange skeletons and corpses, and some dilapidated stone furniture.
"……I don't know either……"
Jiang Yun murmured:
"This place looks like the kind of camp that was mentioned in the legend of the Monkey Army back then."
"Liao village?"
Shu Guan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes, there is no record of the Liao Village in the history books of Dahua, but in our Zoumamen, some things about the Liao Village have been handed down."
"The Monkey Army had a very strange behavior back then. That is, although they captured cities and territories in Dahua, they never occupied a town for a long period of time. Once the town is in ruins, they will leave."
"Few people know where the monkey armies live, but we at Zoumamen happen to know."
"Those divine monkey armies have actually always lived in the mountains. They have built villages like this one after another in the mountains, where they live for the people and when they go out they serve as soldiers... I really don't know what these divine monkey armies think. Since If you don't like the life in the mountains, why not compete with Dahua for the world?"
"As for why our Zouma Sect knew these things, it was because one of our Zuoma Sect's ancestors was searching for veins and caves in the deep mountains. He accidentally entered a camp of the Divine Monkey Army and was captured by the Divine Monkey Army. , was originally going to be killed, but fortunately, the founder pointed out that the place where they built the village had incorrect geomantic omen, and there would be many diseases in the village."
"The Patriarch was right. The Feng Shui of that Liao Village was indeed bad. After he said it, the Monkey Army did not kill him again. Then the Patriarch helped to change the Feng Shui of that Liao Village, and then he was able to leave."
"Because he lived in the Divine Monkey Army's camp for a few days, the Patriarch was able to know some things about the Divine Monkey Army. In fact, most of the information we have about the Divine Monkey Army at Zoumamen is It was passed down from the ancestor."
"Then, did your Patriarch ever tell you why there are so many monsters in the Monkey Army's camp?"
After listening to Jiang Yun's words, Shu Guan asked.
Shu Guanhui asked this question because of the strange bones he saw on the road just now.
Those bones are naturally not human bones, but the bones of beasts. The two corpse bones have not been completely corrupted after so many years. Naturally, those beasts are not ordinary beasts, but like the wolf corpses outside the stone gate, they are real money-making creatures. of demon clan.
"This... the Patriarch didn't say anything, because according to the notebook he left behind, during those days in the Divine Monkey Army's camp, although the Divine Monkey Army did not kill him, most of the time He was locked up in a room alone, and he didn't get a full view of the God Queen's military camp."
"As for the things about those camps, our ancestor actually heard about them when his guards were chatting."
Jiang Yun explained a few words.
Shu Guan nodded slightly disappointedly, and then said to the others:
"Let's go in and take a look!"
At this time, the place where the five of them were standing was at the end of the underground village, opposite the huge stone door far away, on the same straight road.
And this straight road is the central axis of the entire village or even the huge underground space.
In front of the five people, there is an equally magnificent building.
This is also the tallest, largest and most gorgeous building in the entire underground space. There are four huge stone pillars standing in front of the door.
Ordinary people standing in front of these stone pillars that look like the pillars of heaven would probably be unable to restrain themselves from feeling a sense of awe and want to kneel down on the ground to worship.
It's like worshiping a god.
And this building also looks like a temple.
In the entire village, this temple was the only one they had not yet searched.
Then Shu Guan walked into the temple first.
The moment he stepped into the temple, countless subtle, weak, but still clear and incomparable feelings of familiarity and intimacy rushed toward Shu Guan.
That is countless remaining sword intentions, and it is the aura of the Nine Turns of Pure Yang Kung.
Then he saw the bones all over the floor in the hall.
Those bones were as white as jade, without the slightest sign of decay. They were just like the giant wolf bones outside the Shimen. Many of the bones were even harder and more crystal clear than the giant wolf bones outside the Shimen.
But unlike the giant wolf bones, none of the bones in the hall were complete, and all had traces of being cut by sharp blades.
And these scattered bones with sharp cut marks scattered around the hall prove what a cruel battle once took place here.
The reason why it is said to be cruel rather than tragic is because the weak but sharp sword intent that still filled the hall gave Shu Guan a sense of disconnection, like an invisible thread that seemed to be floating in the air. Every corner of the hall, but all the sword intent is connected together, without any sense of breakage.
So this is a sword!
The battle that took place in this hall that year involved a large number of strong men above the Nascent Soul realm.
The other side was a single person with a single sword, killing all the opponents with just one sword strike.
This kind of battle is a bit cruel, but it really can't be called tragic.
...Our Taoist disciple, Lu Zu, is really fierce!
Such a sigh filled Shu Guan's heart.
However, there is not much pride and pride. Being powerful is not enough to make people proud. Especially in the remaining sword intent, there is a hint of determination and ruthlessness, which makes Shu Guan feel somewhat awe-inspiring.
This was the first thing Shu Guan saw after entering the hall.
Bones all over the ground.
Shu watched the bones in silence for a while, then looked up for a second time.
The second thing he saw was the countless complex and fragmented lines on the rock walls surrounding the hall.
[In view of the general environment,
It took Shu Guan a long time to finally distinguish those lines, which should be rock paintings carved on the walls of the hall.
It's just that the man who came here that year swung a sword, and the sword energy not only killed all the enemies, but also left countless sword marks on the walls of the hall, almost destroying the original rock paintings on the walls. They are all gone, and it is difficult to see the original content of these rock paintings.
Of course, there are still some things that slip through the net.
For example, in a certain corner, there was a pile of huge bone fragments scattered around.
Perhaps the huge body of the owner of the pair of bone fragments blocked most of the sword energy during life, so a certain part of the mural behind it was not completely destroyed.
Shu Guan walked towards that corner.
