Chapter 11 Sketches
When I heard Shen Lang's voice, I was shocked all over and unconsciously clenched Qi Zhi's hand.
In Shen Lang's tone, I could hear some surprises, some panic, and some uncertainty mixed in. There was no doubt that he must have discovered something.
But it is obvious that if it is a good discovery, Shen Lang will never panic, so his current tone is invisibly proving to us that his current discovery may be a bit strange and even dangerous.
Since he may encounter danger, it is natural that we cannot sit by and watch.
Because Shen Lang's voice was very loud, it was naturally not just me and Qi Zhi who heard his shouting. After hearing this sound, everyone immediately followed the source of the sound toward him, wanting to know what he had discovered.
Because Black Stone City is not huge, we soon came to Shen Lang's side and found that he was not in danger, but was just staring at the ground blankly, with a very complicated expression.
We looked along his gaze and found that what he was staring at was not something that was fearful, but a sketch at his feet.
This sketch was not drawn on paper, but was portrayed on the ground of Blackstone City with sharp objects.
Since the grounds of Black Stone City are paved with bricks and stones, this sketch will not disappear like a painting on the sand. It will be blown by the wind, but will remain here for a long time until the traces of the past are smoothed down by time.
When we saw this scene, we couldn't help but look at each other.
Shen Lang has always been bold, why does he speak such a panic tone when he sees a sketch?
What kind of secrets are there in this sketch?
Thinking of this, everyone squatted down their bodies, wanting to carefully check the sketch and find out what made Shen Lang panic.
After careful discernment, it is not difficult to see that this sketch is actually a simple map.
After careful comparison, we found that the route on this map was the route we took to Blackstone City after entering the Land of Youdu.
Seeing this scene, Ling Xuan was a little amused and asked helplessly as he looked at Shen Lang.
"Shen Lang, you have nothing to do to draw a map here. Besides, even if you have nothing to do and draw it here, you won't make such a sound. We all think something happened to you."
"Master, you misunderstood."
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Ling Xuan said, Shen Lang shook his head violently, his tone in complexity in his words.
"I didn't draw this sketch. When I came here, I found that this map was already there!"
For a moment, everyone was shocked.
Is this sketch not what Shen Lang did?
If it was really as Shen Lang said, he had already discovered this sketch when he came here, it means that before we came to this Black Stone City, someone had already arrived here.
But according to Juekong, no one has visited Black Stone City for thousands of years, so who is this person?
Out of understanding of Shen Lang, after seeing Shen Lang's current expression, it is not difficult for us to be sure that he was not lying.
That means that this sketch does not have anything to do with him, and the person who left this picture did come to this mysterious Black Stone City long before us.
It is obvious that this person must not be the one who built this place, because for the person who built this place, he did not need this map marked with the route of travel at all. Since this place was built by him, he must be aware of everything.
Similarly, the one who left this sketch would never be the ancestor Ying Zheng who came to Youdu in person. Since it would not be the traces left during the construction, the sketch must be evidence that later generations have visited here.
Thinking of this, we once again looked at the sketch at Shen Lang's feet, and wanted to distinguish the time when the sketch appeared here from the details.
This sketch was carved on the ground of Black Rock City, and it was clearly visible with strokes and strokes, without a trace of blur. If this picture had been carved here thousands of years ago, it would obviously not have been so clear.
Since this is the case, this picture will definitely not be a remnant of a thousand years ago. Judging from our observation, the time this picture was engraved here will only last for decades at most.
Since this Black Stone City is located in the land of Youdu, our first reaction is naturally to ask about Jukong, who has been guarding the land of Youdu for generations. If this picture is left by his lineage, then we naturally don’t have to worry about it anymore.
So, I looked at Juekong and asked with hope in my mouth.
"Master Juekong, your lineage has been guarding this place in Youhu for generations. You should have been extremely familiar with it. Why would you draw such a sketch here?"
But it was obvious that my hope was as soon as I said it, and I felt serious and shook my head at me without hesitation.
"Donor, this sketch is not done by my monk's lineage. Although my monk's lineage protects the land of the capital in the era, no one has ever visited this Black Stone City before me."
When everyone heard Juekong's unquestionable answer, their expressions tightened again.
How is this possible?
If you want to come to this Black Stone City, you must first meet these conditions.
The first condition is that this person must first know the existence of the Yin soldiers.
Guiguzi's way of building Yin Soldiers is a secret matter. Whether this person is reading ancient books or traveling around the country to explore, without inheritance, it is impossible for him to know the existence of the Yin Soldiers. If he doesn't know, he will naturally not be able to rise up to explore.
The second condition is that he can conceal the world and find the real entrance to the Yin Soldiers in the Daxiangguo Temple protected by Juekong.
The way of Yin Soldiers is actually the land of Youdu. Since this is a space independent of Shenzhou, it is impossible to enter it if you go around Shenzhou. The only way to enter is the entrance at the pavilion of Daxiangguo Temple.
There is no doubt that compared to the existence of the Yin Soldiers, the real location of the entrance is even more secret. If Jukong had not told us calmly, we would have never dreamed that this legendary entrance would be located in the well-known Daxiangguo Temple.
To take a step back, even though this person knew the real location of the entrance for some reason, if this person wants to enter it, he not only needs to pass through the protection of the formation, but also avoid the gaze of countless monks in the Daxiangguo Temple, not to mention the Xinling lineage that guarded the entrance thousands of years ago.
