Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 140 Ability Academy (26)
However, from the momentum of the flashlight’s fall, I finally knew how deep the cliff was. This is simply an underground mountain range with an incredible depth. It was out of power or broken, and there was no light around.

I didn’t expect China to have such a landform. It’s unheard of. As soon as I let go, I immediately regretted it. When I reached out to grab the vine again, it bounced back, and I touched it out of thin air. There was nothing around. , that is to say, if there is no way ahead, I can't even retreat.

Now that there is no way out, I feel a little better. Anyway, this is the way things are, and I will move forward. However, there may still be faults. It is not advisable to move forward blindly. Anyway, no one will see it. I lie down Get down and crawl forward slowly.

After climbing for a long time, I didn’t encounter a fatal fault, but the mountain road became narrower and narrower. In the end, I was riding on it with my legs hanging in the air. After climbing a long way, I felt that the mountain road was gradually widening. I must, in my heart, climb I went faster, and I didn't expect to advance four or five meters, and my head hit a rock with a bang. Even though my body may be "porcelain" than ordinary people, this hit also made me dizzy.

At this time, the mountain road was much wider. I touched it with my hand and found that the thing in front of me was not a stone. According to the shape analysis, it should be a stone tablet. I touched it with my hand and slowly turned over the stone tablet. After landing But he found that everything in front of him was no longer pitch black, and there was a slight blue light shining on the ground, but it was blocked by the stone tablet, and he had to turn over it to find it.

Although the blue light is faint, it is dotted in a large area, so I can clearly see the environment I am in now. In front of me is a huge open space, which is different from the bumpy natural mountain road just now. It has been repaired and leveled artificially. It is square like a big chessboard, and the blue light is emitted by the gems inlaid on the four sides of the "chessboard". In the center of the chessboard stands a white skeleton, which is wearing a rusty iron armor battle robe, Wearing a golden crown on his head, he stands firmly with a sword in his left hand. It seems that the fulcrum is all on that sword.

I haven't studied history, so I don't know which dynasty's soldier this is, but it's a bit puzzling to appear here. Could it be that no one collected his body until he rotted into a skeleton?But looking at his posture, he looked majestic. Although there was no flesh on his face, and he couldn't see the slightest expression, he should have been quite heroic at that time.

Thinking of this, I felt a little respect for him. It is really not something ordinary people can do here. I walked around him carefully, and only then did I realize the reason. The skeleton is not supported by the sword at all, but there is a black three-cross on his back, inserted from the back of his heart, and the iron fork rests on the ground, supporting the skeleton so that it cannot fall down. Thinking of this, I went around In front of it, it really saw a section of the iron fork passing through his body.

This man was obviously killed by the owner of the iron fork, but I have no intention of solving the case. From his appearance, the murderer is probably a pile of rotten ones now. , I was suddenly attracted by something, and my heart was really excited, so I walked over immediately.

At each corner of this square stone slab, there is a small round iron cage with a torch inserted in it, but when I walked in front of a torch, I suddenly felt something was wrong, the skeleton did not look like a modern person, But the copper basin next to the torch is actually full of black lamp oil. Could it be that someone has been coming here to add lamp oil?

I didn't think too much about it, so I picked up a torch, and saw that the cloth wrapped on it was as good as new. I dipped it in the lamp oil, took out the lighter I carried with me, and the torch immediately burned blazingly. The flashlight was much better, and the surroundings suddenly lit up.

I looked back at the big stone tablet, and couldn't help walking back, because when I turned it over just now, I felt that there were words engraved on it. There were three seal characters engraved, but unfortunately I didn't recognize them, so I took out my phone and took a picture of the words.

At this moment, I saw a light at the entrance of the cave, and then a dazed figure came in. I thought it was Ma Tianxing following, but the cave was covered again, and I immediately realized that the person who came in might not be Ma Tianxing stepped on the torch quickly.

After a while, the other party lit a torch, and I vaguely saw that the visitor was unusually burly. He passed the opening skillfully, and then walked to the stone tablet. He seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here. I don’t know whether he is an enemy or a friend, but There was no place to hide around, so I could only huddle tightly under the stele. Unexpectedly, this man stretched his legs and stepped over the stele. His stature was amazing, but I immediately recognized this man as an angry man from his back.

He saw his bare upper body muscles were knotted, and a large silver ax was hanging obliquely on his body. He didn't notice that there was a person hidden under the stone tablet, so he walked straight forward, and passed by the skeleton without even tilting his head. one time.

When he reached the edge of the chessboard, he raised his foot and stepped into the darkness, but he didn't fall off the cliff. He seemed to be walking in the air, and he walked straight to the distant mountain road. He walked straight forward, and disappeared after passing a bend. up.

I stood up and walked carefully to the edge of the chessboard, and saw that the space from here to the opposite mountain road was covered with little gravels, just like the compass stone bridge beautifying the lotus pond, but each stone was at most half the sole of the foot It is so big, and this section of the road is also full of dangers. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss, but I have no choice. On the mountain, this section of the mountain is not a good road. It is a scimitar-shaped mountain road. One side of the road is the mountain, and the other side is the abyss. The mountain road is at most wider than two feet side by side. What I see is Feeling dizzy, he leaned sideways and supported the mountain to move forward slowly.

When I turned a small bend, I thought to myself: It's not good.Because the angry man was standing right in front of my foothold, and in front of him was a huge crystal stone as smooth as a mirror, which should reflect me. Just as I wanted to retreat, I saw a very strange scene on the huge crystal stone. It was a terrifying sight. I saw a super strong and tall man wearing a leather jacket with snow-white hands and face, peeling off the skins of living people hanging upside down one by one with a very special plane. The skinned people instantly They became a "red blood man", and their flesh trembled from the tremendous pain.

Then they moved forward while hanging their bodies, throwing the skinned people into a huge bronze container, and the people behind were sent up continuously, like pigs waiting to be slaughtered.

The angry man looked at it for a while, snorted, then walked past the crystal stone, and walked back. I really didn't have the guts to look at the horrible picture on it. When the angry man walked away, I also walked around the crystal stone. Follow him from afar.

The road after that is a wide mountain road. The mountain seems to be compounded here again. Although it is rugged, it is much easier to walk than before. There are still a few withered fir trees. The angry man walked in a hurry. I didn't find anyone following behind me. In fact, he could see me as long as he turned his head.

After walking for about ten minutes, I vaguely saw a dark stone gate in front of me. When the angry man got close, he stretched out his hand and pushed the stone gate open. He strode in, and then closed the stone gate. The back of the tree came out and came to the stone gate. I saw that the stone gate was as tall as the two of me. I guess with my strength, I would definitely not be able to push this ton-scale stone gate open, but I will give it a try. Thought I stretched out my hand and pushed it, but before I could use enough force, the stone door was already opened a crack.

This was beyond my expectation. Through the gap in the door, I saw that there was a small cylindrical space inside, and next to the door was a series of iron bars fixed on the stone wall, leading all the way to the cylindrical space. On the top floor, this is not a ladder in the ordinary sense, but a piece of iron rod that has been knocked in. I heard that there was no movement outside, and I guess the angry man has already gone up, so I pushed open the stone door and walked out. The shape is like a chimney, and through the upper exit, a dome can be seen limitedly.

The dome is carved from white jade, and there is a winding sapphire dragon body in the middle. I immediately grabbed the iron rod and climbed up the rock. I saw a person walking to the exit when I was halfway there. It turned out to be Ma Tianxing.

It seems that I have arrived at the destination safely, and my excitement got faster, and I crawled to the exit. Ma Tianxing stretched out his hand and dragged me out, patted my shoulder and said: You are really good, I thought You don't have the guts to walk that mountain road.

I said: If you don’t walk, it’s hard to wait for death. You are forcing me. Listening to what you said is easy, that part of the road is simply not for people to walk.

Ma Tianxing laughed and said: You also feel it?It's a trivial matter that the road is difficult to walk, and there will be more difficult things in the future.

30. A few rules

I looked around, and saw that here is a huge square with nothing in it. Could it be that this is the Dragon Tomb?However, apart from the dozens of jade dragons of different shapes carved on the dome, the rest can't be seen to be related to dragons at all, and it's not very appropriate to say that this is a tomb, and it doesn't feel very solemn.

Thinking of this, I said: Is this the Dragon Tomb?
Ma Tianxing looked around and said: I don't know very well, because I have never seen the Dragon Tomb.

I said: I remember investigating the case of the Flying General. He Zhuang once said that the Dragon Tomb is the place where the dragon died.

Ma Tianxingdao: This is not something we should worry about. What you need to figure out now is why the principal wanted you to come to the Dragon Tomb. It is not just about investigating. I think there must be a deeper reason.

I said: Did you see the angry man just now? He came here with me.

Ma Tianxing said with a surprised expression: Does anyone else know this road?I always thought it was very secretive, and I just arrived.

I said: But how did you know this way?

Ma Tianxingdao: Of course I heard from the head of the group, otherwise where do you think you would know?

Before he finished speaking, he heard a burst of noisy footsteps, and Ma Tianxing said: Hurry up, don't be discovered by the police.

Not daring to delay, we ran towards a small archway in the middle of the room, and when we entered, we suddenly felt that the temperature dropped a lot, but I was taken aback, and stood there blankly, Ma Tianxing ran out for two steps and saw that I hadn’t moved , Folded back again and said: What's wrong with you?
I pointed to everything in front of me and said: This is where the yin and yang scholars live.

I am absolutely not mistaken, everything in front of me is exactly the same as the place where I met the leader two days ago. There is a purple bamboo forest, and there is a square stable in the depths. It was a three-storey bamboo building, and it was too dark at that time, so I couldn't see it clearly, but the dragon's tomb was not dark at all, and everything was clearly illuminated by the sunlight coming from nowhere.

Ma Tianxing was obviously also stimulated by my words, and said with some doubts: Are you sure you read it correctly? Stable, I saw the Heavenly Spirit warriors who came to return to Axue, one of them seems to be her cousin, so I can't be mistaken, and I can tell you a terrain, walking past the small bamboo building is a cemetery , the yin and yang scholar is in that cemetery.

Ma Tianxing said: "Then let's go and have a look, it's on the way anyway."

So the two of us walked in, and nothing was wrong. I felt more and more strange. When I passed the bamboo house, a mess of graves appeared in front of our eyes. The two of us looked at each other, and after a while Ma Tianxing said: Are you sure that the yin and yang scholar will be here?

I said: I didn't say this, it was the team leader.

Ma Tianxing nodded and said: "Then let's go in and have a look, it's an extra reward if we finally come here."

After saying that, I want to go inside, I grabbed him and said: "Wait a minute, I feel something is wrong."

Ma Tianxing said: What's wrong?
I said: "Yin Yang Scholar is the leader who kills dragons, how could the Dragon Tomb be the place where he lives, don't you find it strange?"

Ma Tianxing said: I have long felt that something is wrong, but people have already arrived here, we have no way out except to move forward, besides, you are the descendant of a yin and yang scholar, I am not afraid of him, are you still afraid of your own family?

After hesitating for a while, he said, "Then let's go in and have a look. If he really lives here, I'll ask him what's going on.

Ma Tianxing and I walked towards the depths of the chaotic mound cautiously, our hearts beating wildly, if the yin and yang scholar suddenly jumped out, we don't know what it would be like.

This chaotic graveyard looks small, but in fact it is not small. The bamboo leaves become more and more luxuriant, and the light gradually dims. I looked around to see if there was anything that looked like a human being, but I couldn't see anything. He stopped and said: I understand.

I said: What do you understand?

Ma Tianxing said: This is not a random grave, but the family grave of your He family.

Hearing what he said, I noticed that as long as there is a tombstone on the top of the grave, the first one must be "He", but I was confused again: Brother Ma, if the descendants of the yin and yang scholars are all buried here after death, then why did he find him? What about me?With his ability, he shouldn't be stumped by this matter.

Ma Tianxingdao: I was also puzzled by this question before. I only found out after I asked the head of the group that the murderers who killed your family were not ordinary people, so the yin and yang scholar couldn't stop him, and the person who adopted you later was not an ordinary person, the yin and yang scholar thought. Of course it is not so easy to find someone.

I sighed and said: It is true.

As soon as I finished speaking, Ma Tianxing pulled me to a tombstone and said: I saw this for you kid, remember to treat me.

I saw that the name engraved on the tombstone was He Kangtian, could this be my biological father?I was a little dazed for a moment, after all, I have never met before, and I have no impression, so the feeling of sadness does not exist. Instead, Ma Tianxing bowed three times respectfully before me.

I was a little dazed and said: Could it be that the principal asked me to come here to recognize my ancestors?
Ma Tianxing said with a smile: I think it is entirely possible that the principal put so much effort into training you, isn't it just to let your ancestors join us?Your words remind me.

I said: This is not a place for nonsense. If this is really the place where Yin-Yang scholars live, then how did the angry man, who is a warrior of the Tianling clan, pass through here?Don't you think it's strange?
Ma Tianxing frowned and said: Yes, logically speaking, the angry man really shouldn't appear here, what the hell is going on with his mother?

Before I finished speaking, Ma Tianxing suddenly grabbed my arm and dragged me into a field with dense bamboo forest. Next to it was a tomb, in which lay my "certain ancestor". This word, I took a glance and suddenly felt something was wrong, just when I was about to turn my head back, Ma Tianxing said: Don't talk too much and look forward.

Looking forward, I found that a tomb not far away began to emit green smoke. It was weird and weird. Could it be that some of my ancestors cheated on the corpse? Before I finished thinking, I saw a huge cat standing up from the tomb. No, to be precise, a burly man with a cat face stood up from the grave. He was wearing a very strange robe and a huge ancient jade bracelet in his left hand. It was colorful, and Ma Tianxing whispered Said: This is a cat corpse, and there are also people called cat monsters.

I said: Do you mean that there were livestock among my ancestors?
