The Back To Heaven

Three thousand years

Although the river looks dark and dim when viewed from a distance, in fact the water is very clear.

When the eyes pierced through the water, Ji Ning could clearly see the bottom of the water that was not too deep. There are solid bones everywhere. Bones covered the entire riverbed and stretched forward, wherever he could see. The bones, like this stream, were paved with white bones, and this smell also emanated from here.

Clearly these bones were old, otherwise it was not a faint fishy smell, but the smell of a carcass.

Ji Ning could recognize that these bones were either animal or human, fragmented, and quietly scattered in the river, under these circumstances, looking extremely gloomy and terrifying.

Even if Ji Ning was not afraid, but seeing this scene, she could not help but get a layer of goosebumps on her body.

Lin Hao walked upstream, walked over ten meters, kicked the ground with his feet, and within the empty waterway, there was a clear sound of metal impact.

Ji Ning hurriedly followed, and looking at Lin Hao's feet, there was an extremely thick metal chain, which was already covered with patina spots. The chain broke into two halves in the middle, one end was inlaid on the stone wall, and the other end extended into the water. Buried under the bone, I couldn't see exactly what was going on underneath.

Ji Ning tried to stretch out the chains to see what was happening, but was stopped by Lin Hao.

"Don't move anything here for now." Lin Hao said lightly, his eyes sweeping towards the river, as if he was looking for something.

Ji Ning pulled his hand and looked around, and said, "It seems like this chain was meant to lock onto something, but this thing has already escaped. Judging from this disconnection, the time to break free, this is not short."

Lin Hao's expression was very calm and said, "It's Jiao."

After seeing this, Lin Hao guessed it.

“Is that what Professor Meng and the others encountered?” Ji Ning said a little surprised.

Lin Hao nodded and said, "Maybe that year, this Jiao made waves, and was stuck in this place due to misfortune. However, this chain was unable to hold it for a long time. When broken up, he actually thought of this place as his lair, whenever it got prey, was brought here to swallow it."

Ji Ning said confusedly: "It's so powerful, who can trap it?"

"Jiao also gained more strength after years of practice. In those days, he probably wouldn't be so arrogant. Moreover, at that time, there must have been an extremely powerful sect in this Kunlun Mountain." Lin Hao calmly explained, "The chains that locked it were made of copper, which suggests that copper was the most common metal at that time. I guess it'll be the latest, and it won't be any later than the Spring and Autumn Period."

When talking about this, Lin Hao's own mind moved slightly.

Copper plates with Chang Sun family maps existed in the Spring and Autumn Period. The chains trapping Jiao were also in the Spring and Autumn Period. What is the relationship between the two?

Seeing Lin Hao return, Yu Mingji hurriedly got up, greeted him and asked, "How is it?"

He waited for so long, even if he knew that Lin Hao would not do anything, he must still feel a little uneasy in his heart, when he saw it appear, he felt relieved.

The same goes for the little girl. Although he had not stepped forward like Yu Mingji, he had always been a little nervous before, and at this moment he relaxed and looked at Lin Hao with a smile on his face.

"This part is very long. I'm worried about your situation, and I haven't come to the end." Lin Hao smiled at Yu Mingji grabbing his hand, and walked towards everyone, "Nothing happened, right?"

Rong Guocheng stood up and said, "There is nothing strange, but the snow is getting thicker. There seems to be no sign of stopping in a short period of time. If we've been waiting here, I'm afraid it'll delay the trip."

Lin Hao nodded lightly and looked outside.

The wind and snow were stronger than when he left now, the snowflakes became bigger and denser, and the sky outside became increasingly gloomy, like night.

In such a situation, Lin Hao suddenly thought of the so-called "catastrophe" in Zi Xuan's mouth.

Hearing that it would delay time, Meng Qiongyun's face showed a rush. Knowing that a group of people might have something to do with things this year, he was worried that the other party would rush ahead of him and arrive at that place..

That ancient building complex had suppressed Meng Qiongyun's heart for several years, and it could be considered one of his heart problems, it was for this reason that he had come here this time.

Huangyin asked Ji Ning, who was following Lin Hao, "Is there something in it?"

"This road is getting farther and lower. When you reach a place where the vertical distance is almost 100 meters underground, there is an underground river with a lot of bones. Mr. Lin guessed it used to be the place where Jiao was locked." Ji Ning's face was not so relaxed, the scenery below made her still feel lingering.

Chang Sun Ying also looked at Ji Ning and said, "Locked? Was the animal ever captured by someone?"

“Three thousand years?” Chang Sun Ying's expression changed.

He knew what it meant for a monster that had lived for so long. If these people met the flood dragon, only Lin Hao would be able to fight.

Lin Hao asked Zixuan, "You've been in Kunlun for so many years, have you never known about this dragon?"

Lin Hao had never thought before that this Jiao could have such a long lifespan. It seemed that he had been doing trouble to Kunlun for so many years. Zi Xuan didn't know the situation, and it was a bit unreasonable.

Zi Xuan shook his head and said, "My sect is in North Kunlun, far away from here, and the entire Kunlun Mountain Range is vast. If Jiao is only moving in this area, it is very normal for my sect not to notice it. . "

"If the range of Jiao's movements is only this small, then things get even stranger." Lin Hao frowned slightly.

"how?"

Ji Ning said: "The bones in the underground river are dense, and there are probably tens of thousands of people in a place where the eyes can see. If hunting in a small area, how could it kill so many people?"

“How far is the entrance to the underground river? I want to go and see.” Zi Xuan's face looked puzzled, “Why didn't master talk about it for three thousand years in Kunlun, killing so many people? Even if I didn't realize it, Master wouldn't be stupid, right? "

Lin Hao did not speak, but looked at Zi Xuan speechlessly.

Regarding his master's situation, every time he said it wasn't clear, even Lin Hao also wanted to know who his saintly master was.

Chang Sun Ying solemnly said: "I want to go to see these places as well, look at the weather, for a while, we can't leave, I want to take advantage of this time to return quickly."

Zi Xuan immediately said: "I'll go with you."

Chang Sun Ying smiled slightly and nodded.

He was naturally happy to be with Zi Xuan. After all, Zi Xuan's skills were placed here. It would be safer to go with him.

When he heard Ji Ning talk about the underground river, Rong Guocheng was also curious, but he was worried that acting without permission would make Lin Hao angry. Now that he heard that Chang Sun Ying and Zi Xuan wanted to leave, his mind moved again.

He said to Lin Hao: "If Mr. Lin doesn't mind, I want to go and see this scene."

Xiang Chuan also wanted to try, and said, "Brother Rong, I'll go with you."

Rong Guocheng looked at Lin Hao, only to wait for him to nod.

Lin Hao looked out of the cave and slowly said, "If the wind and snow don't stop, we can't move forward. Looking at it, it's very possible in the next two days."

Yu Mingji understood what he meant and smiled and said, "Rather than wasting time here, it is better for everyone to walk along the passageway together. Maybe you can find a new way."

Lin Hao nodded with a smile.

Meng Qiongyun hurriedly said: "Master Lin, this passageway did not appear on the map, nor did anyone record it. We don't know where it's going, and we have to be careful."

Lin Hao said weakly: "We will go to the foothills in the northeast. This part just happens to be in that direction. Rather than waiting to walk around the mountain, it's better to pass by here and try your luck."

“But, this passageway leads underground. If so, wouldn't we never have a chance to get out?” Meng Qiongyun still looked worried.

Their father and son were different from the others present. They all followed Lin Hao, and they saw Lin Hao's decisions everywhere. Moreover, they were all very human. Even Xiang Chuan and the others were all in the same position. His physique was naturally not the same as what Lin Hao said and what they did.

But Meng Qiongyun's father and son, one was a professor of archaeology and the other was involved in scientific research. Of course, they did not dare. Meng Zhong accompanied his father to come, and Meng Qiongyun came to this place just to fulfill his unfulfilled wish. After clarifying the subject of this study, it is unlikely that this is too risky or even a stop to life. When faced with uncertain danger, there was more doubt in my heart.

With a small smile on his face, Rong Guocheng said to Meng Qiongyun: "Master Meng, do you think it is safer to walk according to the map?"

Meng Qiongyun nodded and said, "That's natural. I have gone down that road. I won't be confused in any situation."
