Pagoda Immortality

"How could there be a stone sculpture?"

Lu Li thought he was dazzled and couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

That's right, there was indeed a half stone sculpture on the hillside exposed outside the purple sand and gravel, but the exposed part was not much, and it was difficult to judge what the stone sculpture was as a whole.

Seeing this, Lu Li put away his pupil technique, then jumped up, turned into a stream of light and flew towards the hill a hundred miles away!

Dong!

A heavy sound rang out.

Lu Li stepped into the purple fine sand next to the stone sculpture. It turned out that the sand and gravel under his feet were actually half-covered, and he instantly made a hole.

At the same time, the surrounding fine sand flowed into the hole, and the hole began to gradually expand.

Lu Li reacted quickly and moved to the side in a flash at the moment he stepped on the hole.

Seeing the hole expand, he couldn't help but move to the side again. Finally, when the hole expanded to about five feet, it stopped expanding, and the surrounding sand and gravel stopped rolling down.

A five-foot-sized pit came into Lu Li's eyes.

Lu Li couldn't see the scene inside the cave, and he didn't immediately go over to observe the inside of the pit. Instead, he walked to the upper right and looked at the half-cut stone sculpture.

As the surrounding fine sand flowed into the pit, the stone sculpture that was originally buried deep was exposed. Lu Li could roughly see that it was a bird's head.

It was carved very delicately.

The pointed beak, sharp eyes, and even the feathers on the head were carved.

But perhaps because it has existed for too long, the lines are no longer so obvious at this time.

Lu Li pondered for a moment and started to clean up the surrounding gravel. He thought he could see the whole picture of the stone sculpture, but unexpectedly, the stone sculpture was only half.

That is, the front half of the bird's body.

The back half of the bird's body and the part below the feet were missing.

The fracture was smooth and looked like someone had cut off the front half of the bird's body with a sword.

"Why is there such a stone sculpture here?"

Lu Li pinched his chin, with a thoughtful expression.

This stone sculpture is quite old, and it should not be a product of the past tens of thousands of years.

And this kind of stone sculpture should not be something that a casual cultivator who is temporarily living here should have, because even if a casual cultivator builds a cave, it is impossible for him to be so idle that he can make such a stone sculpture.

"Could it be that this Purple Thunder Mountain was the location of a sect in the past?" Lu Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and such an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"If that's the case, then there should be more than one statue here." Thinking of this, Lu Li looked around and searched everywhere.

However, he looked around and didn't find any extra statues.

I don't know if he made a wrong judgment or it was buried underground.

Lu Li didn't continue to look for it. He walked towards the pit, his breath sinking to his feet. His feet seemed to be stepping on the ground, but in fact they were stepping on nothing.

Hmm?

He came to the pit and looked down, and found that the pit was much deeper than he imagined. It was pitch black at a glance, and he couldn't see the bottom at all.

Go down and take a look?

For unknown things, humans can't help but be curious, and Lu Li is no exception.

But he did not go down immediately, but used his pupil technique to look carefully at the bottom. He still could not see the bottom.

It was not that his pupil technique did not have enough range, but that the pit was not straight, but twisted like an intestine. Not long after looking down, his vision was completely blocked.

However, at least within the visual range, he did not find any hidden restrictions.

Lu Li stepped back a few steps, took out the mother jade for sound transmission, and summoned Ning Wuzhou: "Brother, come here."

After that, he sat down where he was and waited quietly.

About half a minute later, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded in the north, and then Ning Wuzhou flew over and landed opposite the pit: "Brother, are you looking for me?"

Lu Li stood up and said: "I found this pit here, and I want to go down and take a look, but I am worried that you can't find me, so I called you to come with me."

"So that's it."

Ning Wuzhou suddenly realized it after hearing it. He looked down but it was dark and he couldn't see anything at all, so he asked: "Is there anything extraordinary here?"

Lu Li shook his head and said: "I just came here, and I saw that this pit appeared very strange, so I wanted to go down and take a look."

"I see."

Ning Wuzhou nodded, and suddenly looked at the bird head stone sculpture in the distance, and was stunned: "Hey! There is also a stone sculpture here?"

Lu Li said in surprise: "Brother, have you seen it?"

Ning Wuzhou said: "Well, I also saw a broken stone sculpture in the north, but it is different from this one. It looks like a stone lion."

"Oh?"

"So, this place may have been the location of a sect before." Lu Li said with bright eyes.

Ning Wuzhou didn't think about it at first, but now after hearing what Lu Li said, he also felt that this possibility was not small, and nodded in agreement.

Then, the two discussed it and let Ning Wuzhou's Qingling Bird explore the way in front, and then the two followed behind to see what was underneath.

The Qingling Bird was very small, and after its breath was restrained, it was as inconspicuous as an ordinary bird. Driven by Ning Wuzhou, it flapped its wings and slowly flew down into the pit.

Lu Li and Ning Wuzhou went down side by side, trying to restrain their breath as much as possible.

The pit was curved.

The further down you go, the darker the light inside, and there is also a sense of coldness.

"It's almost the bottom."

After sinking for about a quarter of an hour, Ning Wuzhou suddenly sent a voice message to Lu Li.

Lu Li's expression relaxed, and he nodded without replying.

After a while, the passage below suddenly became like a trumpet pointing downwards, gradually becoming wider, and at the same time, the sound of the blue bird chirping came from below.

Lu Li looked down and found that he had indeed reached the bottom, but what made Lu Li frown was that he actually saw several corpses lying on the ground below.

The corpses were dull, with many wormholes and traces of weathering on them, and they looked like they had been dead for many years.

"Why are there corpses here?"

Ning Wuzhou landed on the side, staring at the corpses and frowning.

Lu Li was also a little confused. He checked back and forth and found that the injured parts of the corpses were surprisingly consistent, that is, several ribs on the left chest were broken, and it looked like they died at the hands of the same person.

"Sin... sin!"

Lu Li turned his eyes and suddenly found that there were still a few dull storage rings on the hands of several corpses, so he walked over to pick them up and take a look.

But unexpectedly, when he took them, the storage rings turned into slag.

Lu Li was speechless.

Chirp! Chirp...!

At this moment, Ning Wuzhou's Qingling Bird suddenly made an impatient sound, and at the same time flapped its wings and flew back from a distance, landing on the back of Ning Wuzhou's hand and trembling, as if it felt something terrible.

"What's wrong?" Lu Li asked in a voice transmission.

"There seems to be danger over there."

Ning Wuzhou pointed to the dark cave on the right and said with a serious expression.

The cave is not small.

It is two or three feet wide and four or five feet high.

But it is also curved and uncertain, and it is difficult to see through at a glance.

Lu Li gently pinched his right hand, and the Huanyue Sword was already in his hand. He said in a deep voice: "What kind of danger is it? Fairy beast or human, can Qingling Bird sense the specific cultivation level?"
