Chapter 1009 Records in the Book
Ah Cai sneaked back to find Lin Tian and told Lin Tian that he had found an interesting cave.
This sentence is worth pondering, not because it is a treasure, but because it is interesting.
"Ah Cai, what is there in the cave?"
"What should I say, Master, there is a pile of books and I can't read the words."
"Book? You can have this. Take me there quickly."
Under Ah Cai's guidance, Lin Tian came to a cave.
This cave is almost close to the top of the mountain, so it seems to have a high status.
Lin Tian saw tables and chairs in the cave, and sitting on the chair was a mummified corpse of an adult man.
The corpse was in pretty good condition, and even the clothes on the body were somewhat similar to those of monks, but the color had long since faded.
Lin Tian looked around and found some books scattered randomly on the table on the wall and on the floor.
In front of the mummy, there was a book. The paper looked like it was made of leather.
Lin Tian said "Excuse me", picked up the book on the table and flipped through it.
There are some words written on the paper, which are quite neat.
These words looked different from those in Sky City and Earth. Somehow, Lin Tian found that he could understand these words.
Perhaps because he had opened his inner eye, Lin Tian was no longer surprised by his ability.
This is not a book, but a note.
Lin Tian read a few paragraphs and found that they were all about sacrifices. He found that the mummy was holding a pen in its hand.
"He was still taking notes before he died. This person was a clerk."
Lin Tian quickly finished flipping through a notebook, then picked up some books scattered on the ground and continued reading.
At his current reading speed, he could finish reading all the content in less than a quarter of an hour and gain a better understanding of the world.
He found that the information he got from those five people was not that complete.
In addition to these caves, the most important thing in this mountain is a sacred tree.
This sacred tree was built to communicate with the main god. The entire mountain was hollowed out and embedded. It took decades of work to cover the sacred tree from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
The people who live on the third floor of the mountain top are the most noble beings.
From time to time, they would go to the sacred tree to communicate with the main god through sacrificial activities and ask about bad luck.
The most important thing is that they hope to get the attention of the Lord God and give them some oracles about cultivation, which will be enough for them to make rapid progress.
This tree has nine levels. The higher the level, the higher the person can climb. The priest is the one with the highest status.
Not every time you perform a sacrifice, you can get an oracle.
According to written records, God has only one oracle in a hundred years.
That oracle heralded the collapse of the world and caused panic among everyone.
This further accelerated the seriousness and arduousness of their cultivation.
Looking behind, Lin Tian also found no record of the reasons for the demise of this world.
"It took decades to build the sacred tree. I don't know what it looks like. How can I find the sacred tree?"
Lin Tian had a vague feeling that the sacred tree was the gathering place for treasures.
Generally speaking, treasures are used to worship gods.
"It's a pity that this document doesn't include the path and method of how to get in and find the sacred tree.
This is normal, the sacred tree is a very important matter, and it must be a secret that cannot be written down."
"Ah Cai, let's keep walking and look for other caves to see if there are any new discoveries."
While Ah Cai was reading in Lintian, he had already sneaked out to hunt for treasure.
"Master, I have seen all the caves above. The highest realm is only the realm of Hedan. There are no treasures in the caves."
Lin Tian frowned, he thought that the priest's cultivation level would be higher, and the cave above should have a lot of treasures, but who knew it was empty.
"I understand, the treasure is not outside, it should be in the sacred tree inside this mountain.
If there are no human corpses in the cave, it means that the high-level people know that the end of the world is coming, and they have flocked to the sacred tree to beg the Lord God for salvation.
When fleeing for their lives, they will take all their treasures with them and will not leave them in the cave."
This clerk, whose position was not high, was just the fault of a low-level assistant. The moment before his death, he could not even go to the sacred tree.
Lin Tian left the cave and searched around the top of the mountain, but found no door to enter the mountain.
Ah Cai, a little expert in treasure hunting and finding the way, failed to find the entrance.
This made Lintian a little depressed. He looked at the sleeping village at the foot of the mountain, and then looked at the other side of the mountain. This mountain was already the end of this ancient ruins.
"It's strange. They said that the Saint of the Bai family also came to the ancient ruins and brought the wooden dragon to absorb the energy of wood. There was no place with the energy of wood along the way. There was very little vegetation.
Where did they go?"
Lin Tian felt that his thoughts were a little confused, so he simply found a rock on the top of the mountain and sat down, trying to perceive the situation of the entire mountain.
This perception, even after an hour or two, Lin Tian still found nothing.
Ah Cai was taken into the pagoda in the bead space by him. There was poisonous gas in this space. Ah Cai didn't have a gas mask like his, and he didn't know if he would be harmed.
"Stop sensing, spend the night on the mountain first, and talk about it the next day.
Maybe the entrance to the sacred tree was opened on a full moon night."
Full moon night.
Lin Tian laughed to himself. He had watched too many TV dramas, and he couldn't even see the moon or stars here.
He closed his eyes, took a short rest, circulated his heart meridian, and his breathing resonated with the heaven and earth.
I have always been practicing in the bead space, and there are very few opportunities to expose myself to the wild to practice.
The night was very dark, the world was very quiet, so quiet that it seemed like he was the only one left in the world. His heart was as calm as water, and what he kept thinking about was the enlightenment of cultivation.
Just as he was entering a state of trance, he felt the mountain beneath him tremble.
"Rumble..."
The earthquakes are getting stronger and stronger, and there is a tendency that the mountain will collapse.
"What's going on? There's an earthquake?"
Lin Tian felt the mountain beneath his feet. There was a lot of movement, and there was at least a magnitude 5 earthquake.
Just when he was about to run down, he found himself being sucked by a strange force, pulling his whole body downward.
He glanced at the position beneath him, and at some point, a large hole appeared there. The hole extended about ten meters in diameter. He was in the center of the hole, and there was no point of strength for him to escape.
"Xiao Fei!"
Before Xiao Fei could fly out, Lin Tian was pulled underground by a super strong gravity.
"Ahhhhh!"
A feeling of falling from a building at an accelerating speed made Lin Tian couldn't help but shout out.
"Could this be the entrance to the sacred tree?"
Lin Tian couldn't help but think of this, and felt a little more hopeful in his heart.
However, the light below was too dark and the falling speed was too fast. He could not see the surrounding scene clearly for a while.
