Chapter 973 Blue Slate

Chapter 973 Blue Slate

Although a little effort was wasted, it was just a small trouble. Now that he had found the place, Jiang Bai felt at ease.

In fact, until now, Jiang Bai felt that the Qingqiu Picture was dispensable, and he did not have such an urgent desire to obtain this thing in his heart.

However, since the Wushen Sect in Southern Xinjiang is so greedy for this thing, Jiang Bai naturally wants to take action, because it is enough to prove that this is a good thing.

Good things should be kept in your own hands so that others don't get them.

At the entrance of this dilapidated ancient temple, Jiang Bai asked Brother Hao and his people to spread out all around to guard the place and prevent others from entering, while he himself walked in with Hu Jiaojiao and two others.

Qingqiu Tu is of great importance. These people are not our own, so it is better not to let them know.

Moreover, this thing is too fantasy. There are ordinary people outside, and Jiang Bai doesn't want to scare them.

People like Brother Hao are very sensible. Following Jiang Bai's instructions, everyone smiled, nodded and bowed in agreement, and then stood around the ancient temple.

Jiang Bai was quite satisfied with this, thinking that this guy was quite good at getting things done. When he met Lao Yang in the future, he would praise him a few times. He was considered a capable person.

Entering the ancient temple, the ancient temple was not very big and was very dilapidated. Except for a Buddha statue in the center whose appearance could no longer be seen clearly, it was surrounded by ruins. This made Jiang Bai frown. He didn't understand how Qingqiu Tu was doing. Why are things buried here.

However, Hu Jiaojiao's words made Jiang Bai's heart tremble, and he couldn't help but look around, with curiosity and surprise on his face.

Because Hu Jiaojiao whispered something like this: "This place is really strange. It looked like this in the early Tang Dynasty, and it hasn't changed at all in the past thousand years."

This surprised Jiang Bai. What kind of place is this ruined temple? It is so magical that it has been like this for thousands of years?

If it weren't for the fact that this place was so dilapidated and the place was so remote and terrifying, it would have already attracted the attention of interested people.

There are too many ancient temples in China, and there are even more abandoned temples. It is not surprising that some buildings are in the wilderness. However, this ancient temple has not changed at all for thousands of years, which makes people surprised. .

Because nothing can withstand the corrosion of time, there is no change at all here. Can this not make Jiang Bai curious and surprised?

I'm afraid there is something else besides Qingqiu Picture here.

"Where is the place you mentioned?" Jiang Bai couldn't help but ask Hu Jiaojiao.

The ancient temple is not big, just over ten meters square. The beams have collapsed, there is no roof, it is completely open to the sky, and the walls on all sides are in dilapidated condition, as if they may collapse at any time.

Except for the stone Buddha in the center whose face could no longer be seen clearly, there seemed to be nothing special here. Jiang Bai was very curious as to how Hu Jiaojiao hid the Qingqiu Picture.

"Didn't I say it's under the ancient temple? Well, under the stone statue."

Hu Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes after hearing this. At this time, she looked very much like her true self.

Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment, and then Hu Jiaojiao stopped talking nonsense to Jiang Bai and led Jiang Bai to the stone statue. There was a layer of dust on the ground. There was nothing special about stepping on it. It was just a mound.

But Hu Jiaojiao didn't look like he was joking with her, so she didn't have the guts.

Walking to the front of the stone statue, Hu Jiaojiao measured it with her hands. She used her palm to measure the distance of sixty-five palms from the front of the stone statue. Then she didn't mind getting dirty and dug up the ground with her hands.

It was all covered in dust, and more than a meter of land had been dug up by Hu Jiaojiao.

Of course, it was only after she showed her sharp nails that she dug a one-meter hole. Otherwise, it would not be easy for her white fingers to dig this place.

A one-meter pit appeared, and Jiang Bai saw a bluestone slab underneath. This made Jiang Bai stunned for a moment. Seeing Jiang Bai's surprised expression, Hu Jiaojiao explained: "This is what it was like here. We found it here." When I was there, I thought the floor of this ancient temple was made of dirt.”

"But there was a hole here back then. It must have collapsed below, so it was there. After we got the Qingqiu map, we put stone slabs back here and sealed it."

While she was talking, she more than doubled the size of the surrounding earth pit with her hands. This time she was very fast and her claws were as fast as lightning. It took an adult half a day to do the work, but she completed it in just a few breaths. .

After uncovering the heavy bluestone and removing the stone which was forty to fifty centimeters thick, Jiang Bai discovered that a dark hole appeared in front of him.

The hole was not big enough to allow one person to pass through it. It was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen. When it was opened, there was an unpleasant smell coming from inside. It should be the result of being closed all year round.

Taking out the high-powered flashlight that had been prepared long ago, Hu Jiaojiao smiled softly and entered first, followed by Jiang Bai.

Entering it, I didn't know that Hu Jiaojiao had found a torch, lit it, and then quickly ran to several locations to completely illuminate the place.

Only then did Jiang Bai see everything around him clearly.

Four thick stone piers appeared at the four corners of the underground space. The unpleasant smell, which Jiang Bai only now recovered from, was the smell of candles and kerosene that had been sealed for many years.

Hu Jiaojiao lit these places, and the surrounding space was illuminated. This place was much larger than the ancient temple above.

It was a large underground grotto covering several hundred square meters. Although it was covered with dust, everything around it could still be seen clearly under the illumination of four flames.

In the cave made of bluestone slabs, except for a stone statue of a fox demon with nine tails and its head raised to the sky in the center, there was nothing else in the empty hall.

Jiang Bai said nothing and glanced at Hu Jiaojiao.

Hu Jiaojiao smiled slightly, walked up to the nine-tailed fox, then gritted her teeth and used all her strength to slowly lift the stone statue, which was four or five meters in size and weighed several thousand kilograms, and then gently He put it aside and walked to where the stone statue was originally. He looked down, thought for a long time, and slowly opened one of the stone slabs.

Another smaller stone slab appeared in front of Jiang Bai. It was engraved with countless patterns and patterns. It exuded a cyan light and was extremely soft. He didn't know what material it was made of.

The most eye-catching thing is the nine-tailed fox above, which is very similar to this stone statue.

"This is the Qingqiu Picture. I found it here with my friends when I was young. At that time, this thing was right in front of the stone statue, but it was much brighter than now. It also had some kind of energy that opened up our intelligence. Let us know the origin of this thing and some basic cultivation methods."
