Whispering Poems.

Chapter 1374
Xia De came to the high mountain where the Temple of the Dark Night is located. He only inspected the foot of the mountain and the interior of the cave, but he never went to the top of the mountain.After all, it is impossible for gold mines and statues of ancient gods to be located directly on the top of the mountain.

After being reminded by Mr. Erfurt, Shade also became interested in the top of the mountain, so after saying goodbye to his soul, he returned to the position where the three horses were tied to the tree.But this time he did not enter the cave, but walked a small circle along the foot of the mountain and successfully found the way up the mountain.

It is said to be a road, but in fact it is just an area with a little less trees.But since the scholars who came here alone could reach the top of the mountain, there is no reason why Xia De could not climb it.

The road up the mountain is not easy, maybe the road chosen by Mr. Shad and Mr. Erfurt two years ago is different. From time to time, he needs to turn the cat into a toy, and then turn himself into a butterfly group, or use Ragley's jump to cross the mountain. Those places that obviously don't work.

When Xia De finally came to a place tens of meters away from the top of the mountain, it was already [-]:[-] in the evening, the sky was gloomy, and the sunset had already appeared in the sky.

The mountain is very steep, but there is a relatively flat winding path at the top of the mountain. Xia De actually came to the top of the mountain with the cat in his arms, and then stared wide-eyed at the white forest in the distance, and the brilliant scenery farther away. sunset.

"Spring is probably really coming soon."

He sighed softly, then looked down again.There is an extremely steep cliff at the foot. If it is not known that there is a narrow platform below, no one would think of looking down from here under normal circumstances.

However, probably because of the angle, although Xia De could barely see the edge of the platform below, he did not see the wreckage of the arch, nor did he see the three ladies who were preparing for the ceremony.

"But what's the interesting thing Mr. Erfurt said?"

The relatively flat area on the top of the mountain is about the size of a bedroom on the second floor of No. [-] Place Saint-Andrés.Since no animals or humans have come here for a long time, there are no traces on the snow.

Shad melted the snow on the ground with flames, and found a broken stone base under the snow.Judging from the style, a stone tablet should have been erected here.

"The style of the base is very old, not like the style of this era. But where is the stele?"

The naked eye couldn't find the broken stele nearby, so Xia De used "Flianna's Witch's Light" to melt the ground to check.His approach was indeed correct. At a position about half a meter above the ground, he actually found the buried and broken stele. It's about to merge with the dirt on the top of the mountain.

Xia De reached out to brush off the dust on the surface of the stele, but as soon as he touched it, he felt the power of the miracle element.That element isn't immediately obvious, but it's there:

"Mr. Erfurt's soul can exist in a special form, is it because he also felt something on the top of the mountain?"

On the upward side of the stele, that is, the text on the front can still be barely recognized, and it is not the text of the sixth era:

[May the sun shine on the earth,

May the earth nourish all beings.

When the sun shines on you and me,

May the earth be with you and me. 】

"Praise the sun, huh? It doesn't rhyme at all."

Xia De said softly, not understanding what was written.So he completely excavated the stele from the soil.I was worried that the back could not be seen clearly, but I didn't expect the engraving on the back to be very clear.

On the back of the stele are some complicated patterns and decorative lines, which originally had no characters.But at the top of the stele, Xia De saw two lines of characters that seemed to be carved with a knife. They were quite beautiful cursive letters, and they used the language of the end of the Fifth Era:

[This is a riddle, the power of the sun can open the channel. 】

"Ok?"

Xia De raised his eyebrows, and then looked at the next sentence:
[The chosen ones of the earth will definitely come here. 】

"Ok?"

He reached out to touch the trace, and thought uncertainly:

"A fragment of a poem?"

But it's a pity that only these two lines of text on the entire stele were engraved later, and the rest are the original contents of the stele.

"This is interesting. The chosen ones of the earth will definitely come here, which shows that this place is indeed very important."

Shad used a canvas to turn the stele into a toy and put it away. The witch should be very happy to get this.Then he looked up to the end of the cedar forest, and the sun had sunk by nearly half:
"The power of the sun can open the channel to the sun's rays!"

A bright light from a fingertip shone on the base of the stele, but nothing happened.Xia De turned around on the spot, allowing the light to flash across the ground, but nothing happened except that the cat's eyes widened and it was eager to jump off Xia De's shoulder.

"Isn't it pure enough?"

Then Xia De stared at the cat standing on his shoulder again. Mia let out a bad feeling, and then Xia De pinched its waist with both hands and lifted it up.

Facing Lin Hai and the setting sun, Xia De, who was holding Mia high on the top of the mountain, took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly:
"Praise the sun!"

He waited quietly for half a minute, and seeing that nothing happened, he put the cat down slowly:
"That's not the case"

【What are you thinking? 】

"She" smiled softly, and the laughter calmed down Xia De's restless heart.

"Then give me some advice."

[There is plenty of sunshine here in all seasons, it is impossible to open the so-called passage by accepting the sunshine.Therefore, you should find a place that is not exposed to sunlight every day. 】

"It makes sense - the power of the red dragon!"

Xia De bent down, and then violently lifted the base of the broken stele.Nearly two-thirds of the height of the base of the stele has sunk into the soil, and the bottom of the base is not soil but a stone. Xia De saw a rather ancient engraving on the gray stone.

In the center of the circular pattern is a typical Holy Grail pattern, surrounded by flowers and plants.Although it was the first time he saw this pattern, Xia De still subconsciously understood what it was:
"The holy emblem of the ancient god [Mother Earth]?"

He stroked it lightly with his hand, then pointed his finger at the holy emblem:

"Sun rays."

The bright light illuminated the holy emblem, and then the holy emblem gradually melted into the light.At the same time that Xia De was surprised, there were sunken marks on the stone, until it formed the pattern of the palm.

"What do you mean? This is"

Xia De stretched out his hand and pressed it on the palm pattern.He felt that he seemed to have touched some kind of extremely thick force, but he also felt that he just put his hand on the cold stone surface.

He suddenly heard an extremely heavy "dong~" heartbeat, but then realized that it seemed to be his own heartbeat.

Some kind of power entered his body along the arm, and the "Power of the Earth Healing Spiritual Qi" was strengthened.And that power eventually came to the eye.Xia De's eyesight itself was very good, but at this moment he felt that his eyesight had become better.

He hesitated to take away his hand, looked into the distance from the top of the mountain, and then confirmed that this was not his illusion:
"But what does it represent? What about the secret path? Could it be that."

After his hand left the stone surface, the pattern on the stone surface changed back to the shape of the holy emblem.This time, Xia De supported the cat with one hand and held the cat's tail with the other. After Mia tried to use the tail to emit flames, the holy emblem illuminated by the flames melted again.But this time, what was formed was the sunken pattern of a small cat's claw.

Xia De grabbed Mia's paw and pressed it, and Mia did not show any abnormalities.

He thought again that maybe he could dig this magical stone out of the soil, but when he tried, he found that the stone seemed to be connected to the whole mountain.So he gave up his idea and moved the base of the stele back to its original position. After confirming that there was no other noteworthy place on the top of the mountain, he went down the mountain by the same route.

After re-entering the cave, Xia De did not hurry up to join the three ladies, but lit up the light on his fingertips to check the walls of the cave.Later, he actually saw a rather obvious crack on the rock wall at the deepest part of the cave.

Although the crack wasn't big enough for a fat person to pass through, it was wide enough for Shad.

"Ok?"

Xia De walked over immediately, and was very sure that when he and Luvia checked in the afternoon, they absolutely did not see such obvious cracks.But now it just appeared so brightly, that is to say, the stone tablet on the top of the mountain is really useful, and the crack can only be seen by touching it.

"The passage leading to the underground, the key to open the door is actually at the highest point, no matter who designed it, it's really interesting."

He stretched his fingers into the crack to make sure there were no traces of strange elements, and then walked in with Mia, who was already about to have dinner.

Inside the crack is a sloped downward passage, with obvious traces of artificial excavation.This passage is not deep, and the stone walls up, down, left, and right are fairly smooth.

Xia De only took a few dozen steps forward, and he had already reached the end of the passage.

At the end is an old double-opening stone door. On the left door is a pattern of many butterflies, and on the right door is a pattern of the Holy Grail surrounded by flowers and plants.

"The key to the door."

Xia De directly pushed the door hard, but after using the spell, he felt like he was pushing a mountain.This shows that the door is equipped with a fairly strong force to prevent it from being opened in an incorrect way.

Direct contact with this door also caused another strange thing to happen.In the dim environment, a flickering light appeared in Xia De's pocket.Xia De touched his pocket, only to find that the antique key obtained from Earl Granger was actually shining at this moment.
