This guy must have done it on purpose... Qin Fan said expressionlessly: "I'm fine."
Although he said this, he was extremely shocked in his heart. Although his current strength was very weak, after all, he was once as strong as the Great Emperor. To have such a reaction after just one glance, the cultivation level of the person who carved those three characters is probably unimaginable.
He didn't dare to look at the three big characters of Fengdu City, but looked forward along the city gate.
In front of the city gate is a passage more than ten meters wide, enough for several carriages to drive side by side.
A few dozen meters further ahead, there was a river. The water was flowing slowly, but the color of the water was like yellow mud.
There is a simple bridge on the river, and a huge stone tablet is erected next to it, with three ancient Chinese characters written on it: Naihe Bridge!
Qin Fan frowned. Having learned the lesson from last time, he glanced at those three words and quickly looked away.
Needless to say, the road leading to Fengdu City is Huangquan Road.
I thought that at the end of the passage there would be a world of birds singing and flowers fragrant, but I didn't expect to end up in the underworld.
The underworld has existed in Chinese myths and legends since ancient times, but Qin Fan has never believed in it.
However, when he saw this world located more than 10,000 kilometers underground, his confidence could not help but waver.
Does the underworld really exist?
Lin Xuanfeng's deep voice sounded: "I have always suspected that Sinful Land is just a lie to cover up this underground ghost realm."
Qin Fan said in a deep voice: "Is this the reason you mentioned?"
Lin Xuanfeng nodded: "Yes. Wu Zong wants to unify the sinful land. In fact, he just wants to lead the people here to escape one day. Even if he cannot escape, he must strengthen his strength. Once the things inside break out, we will have the capital to resist."
Qin Fan frowned, looked at the empty world behind the barrier, and asked doubtfully: "What do you think there is in this?"
He didn't ask who was there because he wasn't sure that people were living in this world.
Lin Xuanfeng shook his head, with a look of fear on his face: "I don't know what to call the people here, and I'm not sure whether they are human beings. I can only use things to describe them."
Qin Fan frowned and said, "Have you ever gone in?"
Lin Xuanfeng shook his head: "I have never gone in, but the Supreme Elder of Wuzong did so three thousand years ago."
Qin Fan shook his head and said he had never heard of this person.
Lin Xuanfeng said: "He is the national master of the Tianqing Empire three thousand years ago."
Qin Fan was shocked and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "The national preceptor of the Tianqing Empire three thousand years ago was the supreme elder of your Wuzong?"
"Exactly." Lin Xuanfeng nodded.
Qin Fan suddenly remembered something. With a thought in his mind, he took out the two broken maps from the storage ring.
"Look at this thing, do you recognize it?"
When Lin Xuanfeng saw the broken map in Qin Fan's hand, he couldn't help but be surprised: "How come you have these maps?"
Qin Fan asked: "Back then, the Imperial Master of the Azure Empire collected some maps of mountain and river geography. The real purpose was these residual maps, right?"
Lin Xuanfeng nodded: "Yes, the Supreme Elder disguised himself as a national master of the Azure Empire just to find these residual maps."
Qin Fan asked: "Then do you know the origin of these residual pictures?"
"I know something, it seems to be related to the ancient tomb keeper." Lin Xuanfeng had no intention of hiding anything.
"Gravekeeper of the ancient tribe!" Qin Fan heard this name again.
Lin Xuanfeng was worried that Qin Fan had not heard of the ancient tomb keeper, so he changed his explanation: "I heard that this was the clue that the first generation of the Emperor was looking for."
"After that, countless generations of human emperors have been trying to find it, but unfortunately they have never been able to find it."
Qin Fan couldn't help but frown: "The first generation of Human Emperor is looking for the tomb keeper?"
At this time, Qin Fan was also confused.
Originally, we had a rough logical line about Sin Tu, Human Emperor, and Tomb Keeper. When he heard the information provided by Lin Xuanfeng, Qin Fan's guess was completely overturned.
According to Qin Fan's original guess, the tomb guard should be guarding the tomb of the Human Emperor. The Sinful Land should be those who betrayed the Emperor and were punished and expelled here by the Emperor.
But Lin Xuanfeng directly said, the first generation human emperor was looking for clues about the tomb keeper.
How to play this?
Even the first generation of the Human Emperor was looking for the tomb keeper, which proved that the existence of the tomb keeper was even older than the first generation of the Human Emperor.
When the first generation of the Human Emperor existed, Qin Fan had not yet figured out what kind of existence the Human Emperor was, and he had not yet grasped any information.
"Why does the Human Emperor want to find the tombkeeper?" Qin Fan looked at Lin Xuanfeng, hoping he could give an answer.
However, he was disappointed. Lin Xuanfeng shook his head: "I don't know. The previous gatekeeper only passed this information to me before he died and asked me to find all these maps."
Qin Fan's eyes widened slightly, he stared at Lin Xuanfeng and asked, "Did you just talk about the previous gatekeeper?"
Lin Xuanfeng was a little confused by Qin Fan's gaze, so he nodded subconsciously and replied: "Well, Wuzong has had gatekeepers throughout the ages, and every gatekeeper is the most powerful being in Wuzong."
Qin Fan asked: "So, you are the gatekeeper of this generation?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Lin Xuanfeng asked in confusion.
Qin Fan looked at the world behind the barrier again: "So, this is the secret that the gatekeeper really guards."
Lin Xuanfeng didn't understand the complex series of experiences contained in Qin Fan's words. He nodded and answered truthfully: "Yes, the gatekeeper is guarding the stone door outside."
Qin Fan lowered his head and pondered, slowly gathering his thoughts.
He has always felt that the gatekeepers who have been passed down for so long should not just guard the Four Elephants Formation that seals the Sinful Land.
Now he understands a little bit.
The real gatekeeper should be Lin Xuanfeng in front of him!
The gatekeepers outside ostensibly guard the Four Elephants Formation to prevent people from entering the Sinful Land.
In fact, it is to prevent sinners from coming out.
Even this is not the main reason. The real purpose of the existence of the Four Elephants Formation is probably to prevent the things in Fengdu City from breaking out of the sinful soil one day!
The real gatekeeper has always been the strongest person in Wuzong.
Perhaps, even Qingming Sword Immortal didn't know that the order that the Human Emperor asked him to guard was not the order of the Sinful Land, but the Fengdu City buried more than 10,000 kilometers underground.
Qin Fan suddenly thought of something and looked at the world behind the barrier again.
"You said that the Supreme Elder of Wuzong went in three thousand years ago?"
Lin Xuanfeng seemed to understand what Qin Fan wanted to do and hurriedly advised: "Quickly give up that idea. It was a miracle that the Supreme Elder came out alive. He will never dare to enter that stone door again in this life."
"If you alert the people inside, you will implicate the entire sinful world."
Qin Fan doesn't care about this. He is the Arctic Sword Emperor of the Immortal Realm. He has never seen anything like this. Since the Supreme Elder can come out alive, he will definitely not be in danger.
Qin Fan smiled and said: "Since so many years have passed and the people inside have not come out, it proves that they will not leave this world easily. What does it matter if we go and see?"
With that said, he ignored Lin Xuanfeng's stop and stretched out his hand to penetrate the barrier.
