Chapter 944 The Fifth Person
Because they were attacked by the blood spider that suddenly rushed out, this time everyone was even more careful and no one rushed into the seventh floor hall rashly.
Like the halls on the first few floors, there is also an opaque white light curtain at the door of the hall on the seventh floor. This is an isolation restriction, and divine thoughts are difficult to invade, so it is difficult for everyone to find the details in the hall.
"This isolation ban is not strong. We will destroy it and then enter it to investigate!" Jin Yunsi suggested.
Everyone agreed. Jin Yunhuan then slashed down with a sword, and the sword light directly tore the white light curtain apart. The latter then completely disintegrated into a light of inspiration with a light "bang".
With the isolation and ban, the situation in the hall will be fully visible.
"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed. They were all shocked by the scene in front of them. No one broke into the hall directly for a moment.
In this seventh floor hall, there are dense spider webs everywhere. Among the spider webs, some unhatched spider eggs can be vaguely seen - and there are several shriveled human monks' corpses!
In addition, there is only one jade box that everyone is most concerned about on the jade platform in the hall. Moreover, this jade box has been opened and there is nothing inside!
There are also many fine spider webs on the empty jade box. Obviously, this is not the jade box that was opened recently, but it has been opened many years ago!
"What's going on? Has someone been here long ago and took away the most important treasure of the ancestors of the four major families?" Fairy Qianhuan and others were all shocked.
The old man from the Jin family suddenly pointed to the corpses covered by spider webs and shouted: "These corpses, two men and two women, are they the ancestors of the four major families, and we all?"
The ancestors of the four major families, Xuan Mie, Shui Piaoping, Tian Ji and Fairy Ning Yue, are indeed two men and two women. Judging from the shapes of these corpses, the speculation of the old man in the Jin family makes sense! However, it is difficult to distinguish the true nature with spider webs.
Everyone was shocked again and carefully cut off the layers of spider webs around the corpse.
These spider webs are very tough, and everyone dare not use large-scale magical powers to attack, otherwise the corpse would be completely destroyed.
So everyone could only melt or cut off the spider webs little by little, and then peel them off layer by layer.
Although it was time-consuming and laborious, most of the day, everyone finally saw the true appearance of these corpses.
These corpses are already shriveled and their internal organs are empty. Their flesh and blood should have been swallowed by the blood spider, leaving only an empty frame.
Judging from the costumes and the broken treasures left by these corpses, they are indeed like ancestors.
"I'll pay homage to the ancestor!" Fairy Qianhuan respectfully visited one of the female corpses. She and the old man from the Su family's Ninth Uncle had confirmed that the female corpse was Shui Piaoping!
"It's a pity that I'm late for the younger generation. I don't know how my ancestors were killed here?" Fairy Qianhuan said in grief.
Immediately, two monks from the Yue family recognized another female corpse, Fairy Ningyue, and found a token that could explain their identity next to the corpse.
Mr. Ye San also recognized the body of the old man Tianji. It was easy to recognize the old man Tianji dressed as a Taoist priest. Moreover, there were several wooden signs around him who cultivated high-level insects. Although these things were a bit old, they were still easy to recognize his identity.
Li Muran sighed lightly, and bowed to the old man Tianji with Mr. Ye San and others.
"This should be my ancestor of the Jin family!" Jin Yunsi worshipped the last corpse. This corpse was holding a half-broken sword in his hand, and was obviously a sword cultivator.
"Let's go!" Li Muran suddenly said loudly: "Fellow Taoist Jin, don't recognize each other randomly. This ancestor is not the ancestor of the Jin family. He is the master of the family - Master Xuanguang! He is also the mentor of the senior brother Tianjian Gu Tianjian Old Man!"
Jin Yunsi was stunned and said, "What Master Xuanguang, I have never heard of it!"
Li Muran snorted coldly and said, "The matter has come to this point, and I have to explain the reason! You must have been doubting why we, a cultivator in Tianjian Valley, can enter this space of silence?"
"In fact, we are just tracing the whereabouts of Master Xuanguang, Master Xuanguang, and based on the clues left by him ten thousand years ago, we came to this space! This shows that Master Xuanguang, who sealed this silent space back then, also participated!"
"And the sword-training stone given to the sixth floor of the sixth floor contains a special sword energy. It is certain that this treasure is not a treasure left by the ancestors of the Jin family, but by the master Xuanguang of the family master."
"Didn't you discover it? If this is just the inheritance of treasures left by the ancestors of the four major families, why is the Nirvana Order not forty, but fifty? Why is the number of jade boxes on each layer a multiple of five, not necessarily a multiple of four? Could it be that the ancestors of the four major families intentionally do this in the hope of causing competition and conflict among the younger generations?"
"The reason is very simple! The one who agreed to leave the inheritance and treasure here was not only the ancestors of the four major families, but also the ancestor of the Tianjian Valley lineage Master Xuanguang! He is also a sword cultivator! There were five people who left the inheritance, so everything was prepared for five!"
Jin Yunsi frowned: "This is just a one-sided statement from fellow Daoist Li, is there any substantial evidence?"
"Of course there is!" Li Muran sacrificed the Xuanguang Sword, picked up the broken sword from the corpse, put it together, and said, "Just as long as you carefully distinguish it, you will find the mystery of these two swords!"
Fairy Qianhuan and others carefully checked the two swords and immediately determined that the attributes and qualities of the two swords were almost exactly the same as the materials and forging methods. Obviously, one of them was an imitation.
Li Muran said: "The Xuanguang Sword in his hand was originally the magic weapon of the family master. Later, it was destroyed, and the fragments left the lower realm. By chance, the fragments of this sword were found in the lower realm, and they were recast and restored, and brought to the spiritual realm. After the Xuanguang Master returned to the spiritual realm from the lower realm, he created an almost identical sword as a magic weapon, so the two swords were exactly the same!"
Fairy Qianhuan nodded: "I have indeed heard of Xuan Guang, this senior, should be the senior brother of Xuan Mie, the ancestor of the Jin family. Back then, our ancestors went to the lower realm to search for treasures, I believe you all know a little about this!"
Jin Yunsi and others nodded slightly. They knew more or less about the matter of the ancestors' downward realm.
"Strange!" Jin Yunsi said: "If this ancestor is the ancestor's senior brother, Master Xuan Guang, then where is the ancestor's body? Was it destroyed by the blood spider?"
Li Muran shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple!"
He pointed to the empty jade box and said, "The five people made an appointment to leave a treasure here. In the last layer, there is only one jade box, which means that the most important one is only one! Now, this most critical treasure disappeared, and four of the five people who made an appointment fell here, and one of them was missing. It is probably not difficult to speculate what happened in this!"
Fairy Qianhuan's face changed slightly when she heard this: "Fellow Daoist Li means that the ancestor of the Jin family, Senior Xuan Mie, betrayed the agreement, killed the other four people, took away the most important treasure, and then left here?"
"Not bad!" Yue Longtian said loudly: "Fellow Daoist Li's analysis is not bad at all. Judging from the superficial phenomena, it is probably like this!"
"I didn't expect that our ancestors would all die at the hands of our companions! We will avenge our ancestors today!" Mr. Ye San's face darkened and he glared at the monks of the Jin family.
"Friends of Taoism, don't be impulsive!" Jin Yunsi said hurriedly: "One of the things are not confirmed, and two, the four major families, we, depend on each other and cooperate with each other. We have been dating for thousands of years. Except for any party, we will be hurt. Could it be that because of the decadent past ten thousand years ago, we cultivators will continue to conflict and fight each other? I believe that all the ancestors may not be willing to see this situation even if they are alive!"
"Fellow Daoist Jin said it well!" Fairy Qianhuan sighed and said, "I waited here just to get the inheritance left by my ancestors and find the secret of the disappearance of my ancestors, not to seek revenge! The grudges of that year are probably difficult to explain clearly."
"We should take out the body of our ancestors properly and take it away, so as to give the elders of other aristocratic families an answer." Fairy Qianhuan sighed.
Everyone carefully removed these bodies, but found that these corpses were tightly entangled by spider webs, and they could not be removed without cutting off the spider webs.
However, if you use a sword or spell to attack the spider web around the corpse, as long as a weak force hits the corpse, the corpse will immediately turn into ashes and disperse.
Although these people were very careful, it was inevitable that all four corpses turned into ashes.
Li Muran sighed: "The corpses of these masters are originally enough to be immortal for thousands of years. Unfortunately, there is a blood spider here that sucks away the flesh and blood essence of the corpse. The corpse has long been completely decayed. We cannot take them away, so we can only take these tokens left out!"
Fairy Qianhuan sighed and picked up a bead hairpin. This bead hairpin was the remains of Shui Piaoping's corpse.
Suddenly, the pearl inlaid on the pearl hairpin shone with a faint light. Although the light was not strong and it was just a flash, it was keenly captured by the monks around.
"It's a divine thought!" Li Muran said in surprise: "It seems that before the ancestors of the Su family fell, a divine thought was left in this pearl. The divine thoughts of the Su family are extraordinary, so after so many years, that divine thoughts are still not destroyed and preserved!"
"Fellow Daoist Qianhuan, see what message the ancestor left behind. Maybe it is related to the treasure and the grudges of that year!" Yue Longtian and others immediately asked with concern.
