Peach Blossom Button

The ancient buildings have been reduced to wreckage in the course of time.The once clean stone slabs are now covered with green moss, the truncated stone pillars are inserted obliquely into the ground, and the once gorgeous stone carvings have been corroded so that the outlines cannot be seen clearly.It may have once been a forest temple, but it is now deserted.

Pushing aside the vines hanging in front of his eyes, Tao Mo looked at the ruins with some surprise, and cast a surprised look at Bai Wangyan.Is this the place that Bai Wangyan wanted to prove with his own eyes?But he has been in Tang Lin's house all the time, so how could he know that there is such a place next to the waterfall in the forest?

Thinking of this, he simply asked directly: "How do you know this place?"

But Bai Wangyan raised his finger at him and made some vocal movements.The young man in white took a slow step, as if he was afraid of waking up something, and walked cautiously towards the ruins.Tao Mo didn't know what he was going to do, but he couldn't let him go alone anyway, so he could only hold his hands tightly and followed Zhuohua again.

At first, he thought that the ruins of the temple were buried in the forest, but when he lifted the vines that got in the way, he really discovered the location of the ruins.There used to be a natural cave beside the waterfall, but the tall trees on both sides broke down for unknown reasons, half covering the entrance of the cave, and the sunlight cast through the canopy could not reflect into the cave, which made it look so dark.The stone pillars and carvings submerged in the soil were paved all the way to the cave, and Bai Wangyan just walked towards the cave step by step on the stone slabs that were almost buried in the grass.

"I came to this forest just for this place," said Tao Mo's question just now. After entering the cave, Bai Wangyan sorted it out with emotion. Stay tuned for more highlights.He sighed, and said slowly: "I was guessing when 'Butterfly' was mentioned, but now that I look at it, it really is my guess."

"What do you mean?" Tao Mo raised his eyebrows.

He always felt that listening to Bai Wangyan speak was very strenuous.This person knows everything, but he doesn't want to tell you the result easily. He insists on playing charades over and over again, which is really beating around the bush.

And Bai Wangyan obviously didn't want to tell him so easily, he just smiled and pointed to the almost smooth pattern on the stone pillar next to him, and then pointed to the stone slab buried in the weeds.Tao Mo's gaze followed his fingertips. On the stone slab that was almost completely dyed green by moss, a butterfly pattern was indistinctly engraved, and the stone pillar obviously had the same pattern.All are the butterflies that are about to fly.

The sound of the waterfall in the ear became more and more noisy, and it seemed that there was an undercurrent surging in it, like the rushing river under the cliff of Senluo Mountain Villa.Tao Mo subconsciously looked to both sides, but it was pitch black.In this cave, apart from the only remaining stone path at the foot, it is impossible to see clearly what is in the darkness on both sides.

Dark, damp, stuffy.

But just when Tao Mo wanted to take out the fire folder, Bai Wangyan slammed it down.The pale and slender hand withdrew from Tao Mo's hand, and took out a small kit from his close pocket. As soon as the round bead was poured into the palm of his hand, it immediately began to emit a faint sound. The white light became brighter and brighter until it illuminated the environment around the two of them.

Tao Mo was really taken aback this time, he had only heard his master mention this priceless treasure, and had never seen it with his own eyes.Ye Mingzhu, also known as "Hanging Pearl", I heard that there are seven inlaid on the side of the "Coiled Dragon Shining on the Moon Cup". It is as bright as stars at night. This cup is the royal treasure, and Tao Mo is only in the mouth of the storyteller. heard.

Bai Wangyan held the night pearl the size of a pigeon egg in his palm, carefully observing the surrounding environment.In fact, he didn't want to take this thing out, it was too ostentatious, but it was cold light after all, if Tao Mo ignited the fire...he looked at the darkness beyond the white light with apprehension.Fortunately, I still have this preparation. If I light the torch, I am afraid that something troublesome will be alarmed.

Perhaps, it will be like the first person who broke into here.

Tao Mo's gaze didn't stay on the rare treasure for too long, and with the bright white light, he finally saw the surrounding situation clearly.What they were walking was a stone road that was not wide, with bottomless pools on both sides. The sound of the rushing water was not the sound of the waterfall outside, but the water from the waterfall penetrated under the ruins and merged into a large area. Dark pool.A broken altar can be vaguely seen in front of it, and there are still several stone statues standing on the stone road in front of the altar.It's just that those stone statues were bent and their heads were broken, and they were crookedly buried in the grass.

"This place is so strange..." Although it was hot and humid, Tao Mo felt a slight wind blowing on his back for no reason. It's weird.

Fortunately, the stone road was relatively short, and within a few steps we were near the stone statue and the altar. Bai Wangyan suddenly grabbed Tao Mo's hand and reminded him, "I said before that this place is dangerous, so don't touch it. s things."

"Oh, good." Tao Mo nodded. YXZL.

Bai Wangyan stared into his eyes, finally looked away, and continued walking towards the altar with the Ye Mingzhu in his hands.Tao Mo was afraid that something might happen to him, so he hurriedly followed him, and the two of them walked over the crooked stone statues on both sides, and walked to the altar with the half head of a tall man.With the white light of the luminous pearl, one could see a circular relief engraved in front of the altar. Although it was covered with moss, fortunately, the pattern was still clear.

A huge butterfly occupies the center of the circular relief, surrounded by five poisonous insects with claws and claws. It is framed by unknown flowers and plants. Under the white light of the night pearl, it looks quite weird.

"I mentioned the Miao people who believe in Butterfly Mother," Bai Wangyan suddenly turned his head to look at Tao Mo, and said calmly, "They lived in seclusion in the mountains many years ago, so little is known about them." He paused, then continued, "That Miao man is a master of Gu, and I met her by chance. According to her, because of an accident, the gods were offended, and the tribe suffered from a strange disease. She In order to survive, he secretly violated the precepts of his ancestors and escaped from the deep mountains and old forests."

"Disease?" Tao Mo asked, "How many years ago?"

"Based on today, it was about 12 years ago." Bai Wangyan raised his eyebrows, "Could it be the master of Miracle Doctor Tang..."

"That's right, Senior Brother Tang's master, that is, my Senior Uncle Tang, came here 12 years ago, and never returned to the Central Plains after that."

Bai Wangyan nodded: "That Miao person... once described the altar in their clan in her sleep talk, and I also found it through her sleep talk. It's here, there is nothing wrong with it."

When the word "dream talking" was said, Tao Mo suddenly had a strange look on his face. He glanced at Bai Wangyan, as if he was trying to distinguish the truth of the word, but he looked away in an instant.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed beside the stone statue, rushing towards Bai Wangyan.
