Chapter 86 The Creepy Ruins

Weird words!
Carved on the wall!
It's crooked, revealing a wave of evil, and the breath of time it carries has never allowed it to settle, but it has become more and more weird!
Just looking at it, it seems that it automatically rang in the ear, making people short of breath and scalp numb! !

'tick'

'tick'

The underground river was flowing quietly, and the moist water vapor condensed into water droplets on the rocks above the underground river, dripping down slowly.

At this moment, the old man Li Yunshan only felt a chill down his spine, and the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped several degrees. The already dark and damp underground river channel became even colder and colder.

"what is this?"

"Why... are there so many weird words?"

After a long time, old man Li Yunshan bit the bullet and opened his mouth, obviously shocked by the words on the wall.

"unclear"

“I have never discovered such a weird place”

"and"

An old archaeologist replied with a trembling voice. He pointed a flashlight at the four walls, and the incandescent light illuminated the surroundings like daytime.

as predicted.

On the surrounding roads, more traces and words emerged.

"and also."

He walked forward cautiously, but the more he walked, the more frightened he became.

Because they found that in this underground channel, all the surrounding rocks are full of various broken traces.

Countless scratches and inscriptions are scattered all over the surroundings, and all kinds of huge rocks are broken and broken.

Especially those messed up words, all along the way!
These engraved characters are all chaotic and complicated, and the strokes are extremely messy. When the sculptor was doing all this, it was obvious that his mental state was extremely disordered.

"Can't tell, really can't tell? What does this mean?"

Looking at the chaotic and twisted words, everyone felt uncomfortable all over, as if they had come to some unclean place, and the skin on the back of their necks couldn't stop tightening.

"So many words, who carved them here?"

"Shouldn't this be the relic left behind when the first emperor Yingzheng ascended the throne? According to the records of Lao Lu's wild history, he ordered the building when he ascended the throne."

"but now."

"How can this happen here?"

Everyone walked here cautiously, and there was silence in the dark river.

The icy river was flowing, and the white flashlight illuminated the entire underground river channel extremely transparently.

But even so, walking in this underground river, everyone still held a string in their hearts, filled with fear, and stared at the surroundings, as if there were some beasts and fears lurking in the darkness, It will pounce on them at any time and bite them to death.

"Continue?"

"Look further ahead."

Now, in fact, even an old archaeologist like Li Yunshan, who has gone through many battles and died countless tombs, is a little scared.

This underground river is too weird, what are these words?
Who will inscribe all this here?
And how did those beast-like claw marks leave behind?
Looking at the words on the surrounding walls, an unbelievable idea flooded into the mind of old man Li Yunshan.
"and many more."

He hurried to the scratches on the wall, and carefully stretched out his hand to compare the scratches on the several claws.
After a while, old man Li Yunshan's pupils contracted suddenly, and he felt a chill behind him!
Because he found that the distance between the claw marks on these walls was about the width of his palm!
Find the five claw marks, put your hand on them, and swipe them gently, almost perfectly fitting the texture of these claw marks!

"!!!!!!"

At this moment, not only old man Li Yunshan, but also many other old archaeologists were shocked!
I only felt my scalp tingling for a while, and goosebumps all over my body stood up!
What is this ghost?

Why is it such a fit?
Aren't these the claw marks left by ferocious beasts?
Why. Can it fit so perfectly with human hands? !

Looking at the surrounding caves, at this moment, everyone shivered!

Messy text, carved on the broken wall, filled with twisted and filthy words.
It's like being bewitched, just looking at it makes people feel uneasy!

Those silent words seemed to penetrate into his ears through thousands of years!
And besides that, the place is full of bumps and random claw marks.

One after another, the entire underground river is covered!
The dazzling flashlight shone out, and at this moment, everyone's eyes seemed to have traveled through the ages and arrived at a thousand years ago.

They seemed to see figures clutching their heads, their clothes torn, and their red eyes struggling and roaring in this deep underground river!
The facial features are ferocious, and the appearance is distorted.
Their hands were bloody and bloody, digging out large lines on the huge wall, as if they had no reason at all, they were frantically destroying everything around them!
The flashlight flickered.

Ancient hallucinations disappeared.

But it made all the old archaeologists shrink their pupils for a while! !

Just now
what's going on?

Difficult, could it be that this place was really left by the previous people?

But how is this possible! !
If beasts can leave traces on the walls, and claws can be used as an explanation, it is barely explainable, then why do humans leave so many traces on the walls! !
Are they carrying special weapons or something?There was a fight here?
But it's not right!
Obviously not long ago, the jade slip stele that was recorded about the first emperor was discovered, so where did the struggle come from!

The icy cold wind blew in my ears.

In the gloomy underground river, almost all the old archaeologists shivered from head to toe!

They have devoted themselves to the archaeological business for so many years, and the relics they have investigated are as many as [-] if not [-], but they have never been like this Qilian Mountain underground waterway, and there is an unimaginable weirdness everywhere!
Even when the ancient cemeteries were excavated, they were not so evil!
"How to do?"

"Do you want to continue the investigation?"

An old archaeologist asked again, with a strong fear in his words.

It was all so weird, he had never experienced anything like this before.

Even the old man Li Yunshan has already started to retreat a bit!
After wandering around Qilian Mountain for so many days, finally found such a place?Is it too wrong!

Looking at the distorted words on the surrounding walls, the old man Li Yunshan gritted his teeth, and after a long time, he opened his mouth as if he was going all out.

"Go ahead and see!"

"After so many years, it's impossible for anything to survive."

"I have a hunch that the truth lies ahead."

"It's already here, if you go back now, it will be a failure!"

Hearing the old man Li Yunshan's words, the faces of many old archaeologists were all a little ugly and turned slightly pale.

But in the end, they still gritted their teeth, followed Li Yunshan, and walked towards the deeper darkness
In the dark and cold underground river, the old man Li Yunshan and his party of six were shocked by the words left thousands of years ago, their scalps became numb and their whole bodies trembled.

But they chose to move forward in the end, stepping heavily on the icy river, walking along the hideous twisted boulder ruins.

The footsteps go farther and farther.

Time passed, the damp had not yet come, the tides that flooded the cave had not yet arrived.

The cave was still dry, and an unlucky young legalist disciple roared hoarsely in the cave
But outside this cave, many legalist elders in Qilian Mountains are becoming more and more sad.
"Is everything done?"

In the narrow conference room, there were a dozen old men and a few young people sitting here and there.

Many legal scholars headed by Li Weizhi are no longer what they used to be at this time.

Even worse than before.

Although they had ugly faces and frowning faces before, they still had energy and could yell loudly.

But now they, one by one, were all pale, haggard, and frail.

Just like an old man in his dying years, he seems to burp when he is blown by the wind.
Especially the mental state, which was extremely sluggish, sitting in a sluggish position, staring at the table without speaking.

"The time is almost here."

silence.

long silence.

Still no one answered.

The person who spoke was Li Si, not Li Weizhi. This former representative of the Great Qin Legalists was completely desperate.

One of the most important times, the whole body was covered with black grass blades.

Because Li Si's cultivation base is lower, his realm is lower, and he's younger, facing all of this, he's better off.

But it's not much better.

At this time, Li Si was also unshaven, with bloodshot eyes, staring at the two dark circles that seemed to have been hammered, and the eyes were so sleepy that there was only a gap left.

The former demeanor of a master of law has long been thrown into a corner.

In fact, not only Li Si and everyone in the council, but almost the entire Legalist people on Qilian Mountain, all looked like this!

In the last ten days, in order to revise the Human Emperor's Sutra and get rid of this obsessive characteristic, almost all the legalists have tried their best!

Regardless of their level of cultivation, level of realm, or even ordinary disciples of Legalism, they all voluntarily dedicated themselves as test subjects to practice the improved Human Emperor's Sutra!
Almost all the legalists, all of them have made great efforts for this personal scripture!

They revise day and night, frantically study many formulas of cultivation methods of various schools of thought, integrate them into them, and modify them smoothly.
During this process, basically all legalist qi refiners, no matter how high or low their level, have fallen into madness at least once!

Fortunately, when it was discovered, the insanity was not complete. Except for a few people whose temporary symptoms were not installed, the rest of the lives were safe
But even so!

Also still useless!
After revising the Human Emperor's Sutra countless times, something is still wrong!
It's the same illness, but it's still a madness!
But if you just look at it a few times, it will no longer be the same as before, collapsing on the spot and losing your mind.
This is also a kind of success, right?

Li Si thought silently and rubbed his eyes. With dark circles under his eyes that had not slept for more than ten days, he forced himself to speak.

"Can it be revised again?"

Hearing this, the legalist elders who had been sitting where they were, and had been motionless like zombies since they came to the meeting, suddenly seemed to be touched by something. Finally, for the first time since they attended the meeting, they had action.

"No, it can't be done"

An old Legalist man was panting, his voice was small, he almost collapsed, and he opened his mouth in a breathless voice.

"That's all."

"If you continue to modify"

"Everyone is gone"

The other legalist elders also raised their heads, staggering, their eyes glazed over, and their faces pale.

Seeing this scene, Li Si had no choice but to put away the bamboo slips on the table.

"That's how it is, the day after tomorrow is the time to report all this to the king."

"Seniors have worked hard, let's take a break for now."

Almost as soon as Li Si's words fell, many elders of the legal school fell asleep in the end.

In just one or two seconds, they were snoring and weeping, taking their first rest in more than two months.
And in order to welcome Ying Zheng tomorrow, Li Si also shrank in a corner and slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Li Si was woken up,

"Everyone has worked hard. The time has come. Tomorrow is the deadline. I wonder how the compilation of the Human Emperor's Sutra is going?"

Zhao Tuo's calm voice sounded at the door.

Many elders of jurists gulped when they heard this.

Finally, you look at me, I look at you, or Li Weizhi bit the bullet and spoke.

"Most of the compilation has been completed, but, but it is still a little bit, just a little bit, my lord, why don't you allow a little more time?"

"Your Majesty's order is tomorrow, and I have given you a lot of time." Zhao Tuo replied calmly, with an undeniable coldness in his words: "If the time is up and the compilation is not completed, you will bear the consequences."

Hearing this, Li Weizhi and a group of old people looked bitter.

After Zhao Tuo left, they immediately jumped up in a hurry and carefully revised the Human Emperor's Sutra several times.

But what's the use of relying on this day for the human emperor's classics that haven't improved much for more than two months?
Finally, when the time was up, they still bite the bullet and selected a few representatives, washed carefully, changed into a set of clean and tidy clothes, and followed Zhao Tuo to Xianyang City.

The tall and fortified Xianyang City is as majestic as it left a few months ago.

Walking on the street, there are traces of life everywhere, feeling the smoke and fire of the surrounding world, and having stayed in the dense jungle for two full months, the old Legalists who were almost insane, almost burst into tears and looked excited.

However, this excitement came to an abrupt end after arriving at the Hall of Qunshu in the Imperial City of Xianyang.

After the tall man pressed the table, Ying Zheng was as calm as a few months ago. He sat quietly in the ancient study, wearing a black gold robe and cloak, solemn and majestic, and piles of government affairs were placed in front of him.

Zhao Tuo was standing in the distance, Li Weizhi, Li Si, and three other legalists, respectfully stepped forward, and Jishou worshiped.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Long live the king!"

"Get up." A calm voice sounded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Wei and the others stood up respectfully.

Only then did they have the thought to take a little look at Ying Zheng with the aftermath.

Compared with a few months ago, Ying Zheng's aura seemed to be deeper.

He was sitting upright behind the wide desk, his eyes were as black as ink, seemed to have infinite wisdom flowing, the divine light opened and closed, and he stared vertically and horizontally.

Seeing this scene, Li Weizhi and the others were surprised.

It's only been two months since he disappeared, and the aura on the king's body seems to be more dignified, and the demeanor that belongs to the king is also becoming more majestic, vaguely, already somewhat comparable to the previous king.
Especially Li Si, this was the first time he got so close to Ying Zheng, and he was even more surprised.

With such a strong majesty of the king, it is no wonder that even the shrewd Prime Minister of the country before said that there is no need to worry, what is hidden is really deep.

Is this the real face of the former son of a prince?

Li Si was thinking silently, feeling quite shocked in his heart.

But this shock didn't last long before it was interrupted.

"How are you preparing for the compilation of the Human Emperor's Sutra?"

Hearing this, the hearts of Li Weizhi, Li Si and the others started beating loudly!

"Report to the king! Thanks to the king's blessing, the ministers and others are fortunate enough to live up to their fate. The human emperor's scriptures have now been compiled." Li Weizhi stepped forward and spoke boldly.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slightly and gave a rare compliment.

"good."

"The compilation can be completed within two months. Gu Guo has never misunderstood the ministers. I heard that when Ai Qing compiled the human emperor's scripture, he investigated the methods of various schools of thought?"

"Yes, Wang Shang is wise."

Li Weizhi replied respectfully, his heartbeat became faster and faster, he swallowed for the unknown, his white hair seemed to be trembling, and he spoke politely.

"However, my lord, this person's imperial scriptures contain a lot, and his cultivation is extremely difficult. Although he can certainly cultivate with his talents and talents, he still needs to be cautious in the process of cultivation."

"Oh?" Nodding slowly, Ying Zheng said calmly, "Bring me to have a look."

"Yes."

Li Weizhi beckoned, and Li Si stepped forward, raised his hands above his head respectfully, and presented a scroll that had been revised countless times.

An attendant eunuch stepped forward, took it respectfully and placed it in front of Ying Zheng.

Looking at the extremely thick bamboo slips engraved with the three characters of "The Human Emperor's Sutra", Ying Zheng nodded.

Then he stretched out his hand, under the uneasy eyes of Li Si and Li Wei.

Read it slowly.
