Chapter Five Hundred and Eleven

At the end of the light beam of the refined tactical flashlight is a cliff, a part of which extends outwards, and there is nothing on it. Ning Tao took a closer look. The cliff was about 100 meters above the ground, and the ripples of ink in the Xuntu inkstone pointed to that cliff.

Ning Tao splashed off the ink, put away the earth-seeking inkstone, and climbed up the cliff with hands and feet. It took him only a few minutes to climb to the top of the cliff. He shone his tactical flashlight forward, and the wreckage of a sunken ship came into his sight without warning.

The shipwreck has been broken into several pieces. The largest and most advanced ships in ancient times belonged to the ships of the Ming Dynasty. Zheng He’s treasure ship was several times larger than the ship when Columbus discovered America. However, this wooden shipwreck was so rotten that it was impossible to tell whether it was a Western ship or an ancient Chinese ship.

Ning Tao walked towards the wreckage of the sunken ship with a tactical flashlight. He didn't take out the soil-seeking inkstone, and directly awakened the state of his eyes. Just a few seconds after that, a cloud of green aura entered his line of sight.

In fact, there is not much difference between the aura of a cultivator, the aura of a demon, and the aura of magic weapons, because they are all based on the aura of heaven and earth. If there is a difference, it's just that the blue color of the aura on the cultivator's body is weaker, the blue color of the monster's monster is thicker, and the aura of the magic weapon is the strongest, because no matter what magic weapon it can use A large number of spiritual materials are refined through complicated processes. During this period, the cultivators or demons who refine the magic weapon also consume a lot of spiritual power, so the blue color of the spiritual energy on the magic weapon is also the most obvious.

Therefore, relying on his experience in this area, Ning Tao could tell at a glance that the thing hidden in a section of the wreckage was a magic weapon, not a deep-sea fish monster, let alone a cultivator lurking there.

Ning Tao quickened his pace and came to the wreckage of the hull, and illuminated the interior of his hull with the beam of the tactical flashlight. What came into his eyes were pieces of ship boards and beams covered with moss and shell carcasses, as well as decayed wooden furniture, such as boxes and tables. That bluish cloud of aura emanated from a pile of wood, and the closer you got to it, the stronger the feeling of aura would be.

Suddenly, the beam of the tactical flashlight hit a blue and white corpse, which was hanging on the broken beam. The blue part was moss, the white part was bone, and its clothes had long since disappeared. Judging from the size of the bones, it was very tall in front of it, at least two meters high. It is almost impossible for ancient Asians to have such a height.

"Is it really the ancestor of Charles? Wait..." Ning Tao's eyes suddenly fell on the forehead of the skeleton, and he couldn't look away.

There was a dark mark on the forehead of the skeleton, and it was that mark that gave Ning Tao a strange feeling. With a thought in his heart, he jumped up and landed on the broken ship's beam.

But before Ning Tao reached out to grab the skeleton, the beam of the ship suddenly snapped.

Both he and the skeleton fell, onto a pile of rotting planks.

No dust stirred up, Ning Tao's back crushed all the wooden boards, but was hit hard by something. The moss-covered skeleton fell on Ning Tao's body because of its lighter weight. Ribs, spine, leg bones, arm bones, etc. fell everywhere, and the skull rolled to the side.

Ning Tao didn't bother to pick up the skull, he dug open the rotten wood crushed by his back and butt, exposing a box.

This box is boxy, one meter high and one meter wide, with a simple shape and a very grand look.

According to Charles' drawings, the box only has seals and runes on the surface of the upward lid, but what Ning Tao saw was that there were seals and runes on the four sides of the box. Although he did not see the bottom of the box, but Presumably there are also seals and runes.

The material of this box is also wood, but even though the ship is rotten, it has not been affected by sea water and pressure at all, and the surface is still clean and smooth, but the color looks very old.

Ning Tao took a closer look at the runes on the box cover. He has been studying runes for a long time, but he doesn't know any of the runes on the box. The seal looks like an "x" The pattern is composed of circles of spiral patterns, and there is a small rune in the center of each spiral pattern. But even for the concept of "seal", when Ning Tao saw it on the drawings, he thought it was a bit like a court seal. Even if he is not sure about this concept, let alone interpret it.

Ning Tao secretly said in his heart, "These runes are obviously the runes of the Yinyue people, so they are related to the Yinyue people. If this box is the box of the Yinyue people, then this ship is likely to be the Yinyue people's." Moonman's ship, but..."

The Yinyue people were destroyed during the Warring States period. This is recorded in ancient books, and the archaeological experts in the archaeological team that entered the Shenlongjia to look for the Yinyue people also said so.

"Could it be that Charles lied to me about the age of the shipwreck, which is far older than the five hundred years he said? Mostly yes, he can say that the shipwreck is the property of their family, and in time It's normal to lie to me about the problem." Ning Tao continued to analyze, "If this ship is from the Warring States period, or the previous Yinyue people's ship, could it be because they encountered some disaster that they wanted to take this box away? Transported away, and ended up dying here?"

At this point in the analysis, Ning Tao suddenly remembered something, turned around and picked up the skull.

There is no difference between the skull and the human skull, except that there is a crescent-shaped black imprint on the forehead.

Ning Tao put his nose in front of the black mark, awakening the nose's smelling state. At this moment, various smells of shipwrecks, skulls, and the sea flooded into his nostrils like a tide, and there was also a familiar smell of cloud ore!

Ning Tao's heart was suddenly filled with excitement, "It really is a Yinyue man! This is the skeleton of a Yinyue man!"

In the ruins of Yinyue City, Ning Tao didn't even see the skeleton of a Yinyue man, but he captured the picture of Yinyue City's past time and space by virtue of Xun Zudan's allergic reaction to the drug. In the picture he captured, the Yinyue people are tall and tall, and there is a crescent-shaped imprint drawn with cloud ore mineral powder on their foreheads, regardless of men, women, or children. The powder of cloud ore will not disappear. If it is applied to the same place for a long time, it will penetrate into the skin and finally adsorb on the bone. He didn't think of this before, but now he suddenly figured it out. This also explained why he couldn't capture brain waves when he applied it on his forehead, but the Yinyue people could. It was the Yinyue people who turned the cloud ore into their brainwaves. a part of!

Ning Tao endured the excitement in his heart and put the skull on the ground, turned around and returned to the box, and impatiently reached out to lift the lid.

There was no lock on the box, and it looked as if the lid could be lifted with a little effort.

Is the Zhenshi Pagoda, which ranks eighth on the list of legendary magical artifacts, in this box?

The answer seems to be revealed in the next second, and perhaps the secret of the disappearance of the Yinyue people will also be solved.

However, it was this "one second" that blocked Ning Tao. Just as his hand touched the lid of the box and he lifted it up with force, a strange energy field was suddenly activated, and it was released from the box with a bang. , Caught off guard, Ning Tao was suddenly shocked, and his whole body flew out like a cannonball.

The wreckage of the sunken ship was even more vulnerable. When the energy shock wave hit, the already rotten wood was instantly shaken into powder, and rushed to the distance along with the sea water.

A few seconds ago, there was a shipwreck that looked like a ship on the cliff platform, but now it was empty, only a strange box remained.

Ning Tao's body flew directly off the cliff, and then fell into the abyss of the seabed.

Whoosh!

A rope pierced through the sea and plunged into the rocks.

That's a herbal rope.

Ning Tao grabbed the herbal rope and returned to the cliff, holding a skull in his hand, it was the skull of the Yinyue man.

Ning Tao returned to the wooden box, but this time he did not dare to reach out to open the box again. As for the energy impact just now, if he hadn't been able to endure it casually after practicing, and with the protection of the Tianbao vest, his internal organs would probably have been shattered to pieces!

Looking back now, looking at the picture, my intuition that the pattern was a seal was correct, it really was a seal.

"I don't see how powerful the sixth-ranked reincarnation map is. How powerful is the soul-suppressing tower, which ranks eighth? No, this is not the energy field of the soul-suppressing tower, but this box..." Ning Tao pondered in his heart As he spoke, he was also searching and organizing in his mind all the information related to the Yinyue people that he had come into contact with.

A few minutes later……

Ning Tao opened the small medicine box, took out the small porcelain bottle containing the fourth edition of Xunzu Pill, pulled out the cork, poured out the Xunzu Pill inside, and his nose entered again at that moment. The state of hearing.

boom!

The scene in front of him was distorted, and in his vision was a mountain of flames and thick smoke. The sea water was pouring over, as if it was about to submerge the erupting volcano.

It was a picture of a static past time and space, obviously prehistoric crustal movement, and the volcanoes he saw had now become the mountains of Haiti.

"Could it be because of that energy shock wave that destroyed the energy structure here, and I can't see the pictures of the past time and space related to this shipwreck?" Ning Tao secretly said in his heart.

Sudden! The originally static picture moved, and the thousand-meter-high huge waves crashed down from the sky, and Ning Tao subconsciously raised his arms to protect his head. But even if he was trained to suffer casually, and with the protection of Tianbao's vestment, he was suppressed in the face of a thousand-meter-high huge waves, the aura of destroying heaven and earth made him deeply feel the insignificance of human beings.

So what about cultivators, they are just ants in front of the power of this world! .
