Chapter 25 Seeing the Soul Bone Again
When Ling Zikai and Du Juan heard the roar of the tiger, their expressions changed, and they all turned their heads to look down the mountain.

I saw a tall and mighty Siberian tiger appearing in the bushes we passed just now. Judging from its height, it was obviously the one that guarded King Shen earlier.

The Siberian tiger jumped out of the bushes and ran to the entrance of the path, but did not come up. Instead, it looked up at the two of them. There was both strong hostility and a bit of fear in its piercing tiger eyes.

Seeing that it didn't catch up, Ling and Du were slightly relieved. Seeing it, it seemed that it was going to sit on the sidelines at the entrance of the trail and wait for them to go down.After the two looked at each other, they continued to walk up.

The Siberian tiger roared again and again unwillingly, but seemed to have some scruples and dared not chase after them, so it could only watch helplessly as they kept going up.

Ling Zikai looked back at the Siberian tiger, and asked Du Juan, "Why doesn't it catch up? Is it really because this is the former residence of the ancestor god?"

Du Juan nodded, frowned and said: "It should be like this! But it would be troublesome if it stays there all the time and doesn't leave. Should we just stay there and waste time with it!"

"Whatever, the car must have a way to the front of the mountain. Could it be that the two of us will be suffocated to death by a big bug?"

While talking, the two had already arrived in front of the cave. Du Juan took out the small pickaxe used for digging ginseng seedlings, shoveled off the weeds and bushes blocking the entrance of the cave, and opened a passage.

Walking into the cave, you will be greeted by a cool breeze that lifts your spirits.

At this moment, a mysterious calling voice appeared in Ling Zikai's mind.

Could it be that there are some geniuses and treasures hidden in the former residence of the ancestor gods?
As Dujuan said before, the inside of the cave is very clean, except for some fallen leaves of shrubs two or three meters from the exit, there is hardly a speck of dust.

After walking 30 meters inward, the light began to dim.

Du Juan took out a small piece of pine nuts and ignited it, shook it on the cave wall, and saw a dark wooden stick sticking into the cave wall not far ahead, so he stepped forward and put the pine nuts in his hand on it , ignited the stick.

Ling Zikai took a closer look and found that the entire stick was made of natural pine nuts, as thick as an arm and more than half a meter long. of pine oil.

After the thick pine nuts were lit, they ignited a raging fire, illuminating the area within the cave with a radius of more than [-] meters.

There was a thick scent of rosin in the air.

After advancing 20 meters, a section of pine nuts of the same size appeared on the cave wall again.

In this way, every [-] meters, pine nuts will appear on the cave wall. After lighting all the way, it is like installing street lights in the cave.Under the light of the orange fire, the whole cave was painted with a hazy color, adding a bit of mystery.

The cave was winding and I don't know how deep it is. After advancing more than a hundred meters, it still hasn't reached the end.The sound of their footsteps echoed in the cave, making the surroundings even more quiet.

Ling Zikai observed all the way.It can be seen from the cave wall that the cave is formed naturally, and there is no trace of artificial carving on the wall.It is hard to imagine the conditions under which such a long cave was formed, which makes people have to sigh the power of nature.

As he continued to go deeper, the call ahead became more and more intense, and the ancestral consciousness in Ling Zikai's mind wanted to leave his body, but he forcibly suppressed it.

In this mysterious place full of unknowns, he didn't dare to release the consciousness of the ancestor god rashly. If something unexpected happened, it would be too late to regret it.He didn't want to be in a coma for three days and three nights like the last time he met the Siberian tiger.

"Isn't it here yet?"

Ling Zikai asked.

"Come on, right ahead!"

After turning a corner, when the cuckoo lit a pine nut again, the eyes suddenly opened up, and a huge cave appeared in front of it.

There was also a crisp sound of running water.

After Rhododendron lit the pine nuts on the walls around the cave one by one, Ling Zikai saw the scene inside clearly, and the first impression in his mind was the three words "tall, big, and strange".

The entire cave space is divided into three platforms in a stepped manner.

The bottom platform is 80 meters wide, more than 50 meters long, and more than 30 meters high.

On the top is a strange landscape composed of various strange-shaped stone pillars, stone mantles and stone flowers.

The underground is a rockery-like stone forest with a size of hundreds of square meters formed by a variety of stalactites. The exquisitely carved curly stones inside are as large as tens of feet, and as small as tender bamboo shoots.

There is also a gurgling spring stream surrounding the stone forest.

On the left side of the platform, there is a passage leading to the second-floor platform. At the place of the entering platform, there is a stalactite connected with the cave wall, forming a natural arch.The drop between the two platforms is more than 20 meters.

The platform on the second floor is nearly 30 meters long and about ten meters wide.The floor is smooth as if paved with marble.

In the volley at the edge of the platform, there happened to be rows of stone pillars, like erected railings, providing safety protection.

The most amazing thing is the platform on the third floor, which is only more than one meter away from the second floor.A huge 20-meter-wide stone curtain hangs down from the stone walls on both sides, just like the curtain of a heavenly palace, covering the space inside.

Those stalactites, strange stones, like Buddha, like birds, like beasts, like forests, like curtains, like waterfalls, stone pillars, stalagmites, stone towers, are vivid.

And below, there are some stalagmites, stone vines, stone mantles, stone curtains, bell flags, stone drums, and stone pillars echoing each other.

The space formed by the ceiling, cave walls and cave bottom is sometimes conical, sometimes curved, sometimes rectangular, and sometimes square, presenting a dizzying variety of vividness.

Before entering the platform on the third floor, Du Juan pulled Ling Zikai down to his knees, and respectfully knocked on the platform three times.

Just like the ancient common people standing in front of the palace and treasure hall, when they were about to go in to meet the supreme emperor, they showed a look of sincerity and fear.

Entered the third platform and lit a few pine nuts inside.

Under the orange-yellow firelight, I saw that the platform was only about 40 square meters in size. Except for the side facing the second platform, the other three sides were flat rock walls, which made the whole platform more like a flat-roofed house.

There are some brown-red patterns painted on the three rock walls. Due to the age, it is difficult to accurately distinguish the content of those patterns, but from the simple and rough lines, it should be a record of people's daily life and production in the primitive society. The scenes during the activity, the inversion of abstract graphic metaphors, and the worship of life and intelligence.

In addition to petroglyphs, there are also some remnants of skulls that are almost fossilized, such as wolf heads, deer heads, and bear brains, in some concave holes on the rock walls.

Especially in the deepest part of the platform, there are several caves that are much larger than other caves, and several bronze totems are placed.

There are fish-shaped ones, and they have the tendency to take the fish and leap.The body of the fish is covered with scales, and it is in the shape of a semicircular leap. Its shape is open mouth and teeth, with wings and whiskers. It is vigorous and light, without losing the spirituality and sanctity of the god fish.

In the shape of a wolf, the head is held high, the brows are tightly furrowed, the ears are adducted, the chest is raised, the feet are combined, the colorful pattern is worn, and the neck is hung, showing the majestic wolf form.

There is also a frog-shaped totem standing upright, with bulging eyes, a big belly, raised front legs, and supporting the body with hind legs.It is in the shape of a beautiful and powerful "Zig".

Ling Zikai counted them carefully, and found that there were eighteen bronze totems in those caves, each in the shape of eighteen divine beasts, with dense and well-proportioned lines, exaggerated shapes, highly decorative lines, and full of mystery.

When Ling Zikai cast his eyes on the largest cave in the middle, he found that there was a golden yellow bone more than twenty centimeters long.

Just when he saw the golden bone held in the hand of the statue of the ancestor god, the consciousness of the ancestor god in his body finally couldn't be suppressed anymore, rushed out of his mind, and went straight to the bone.He locked on the target all of a sudden, and subconsciously urged Ling Zikai to hurry up and take the thing away, as if the thing was of great benefit to the consciousness of the ancestral gods.

Ling Zikai stepped forward a few steps, and was about to grab the remnant bone, but Du Juan exclaimed and stopped him: "Zikai, that is the soul bone of the ancestor god, you must not touch it, or you will be punished by the ancestor god! "

At this moment, the golden bone was wrapped by the consciousness of the ancestor god, and it floated up automatically, slowly flew towards Ling Zikai, and fell into his hands.

The moment the remnant bones came into his hands, a wave of energy passed into Ling Zikai's body, and the original energy of the ancestor god in his body, after joyfully capturing it, there was a kind of joy like water and fire, as if this energy was originally A part of myself, now returning to the body.

Ling Zikai obviously felt the bones in his hands become hot. Immediately, his whole body seemed to be hit by a powerful electric current, and he kept trembling. There was a groan.

This feeling continued, until the bone in his hand turned into a pinch of powder, and it was not over.

At this time, Ling Zikai found that his ancestral consciousness was constantly extending outward, the picture in his mind became clearer, and the speed of movement became faster. In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of the cave and entered the mountain forest.

What was different from the past was that Ling Zikai actually felt the aura of energy in his consciousness. This aura came from all the creatures in the forest. He could quickly distinguish which aura belonged to whom and feel their state.

At the same time, these energy breaths are guided by the consciousness of the ancestor gods, and after being fused with the energy of the ancestor gods, they seem to have been purified and refined, and then returned to their respective living bodies through the guidance of the ancestor god consciousness, and a more vigorous breath of life erupted .
