My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 107: Bones from Thousands of Years Ago
The next day.

Zhou Ping handed the review to Jiang Xia and his uncle, and came to the crew. He had a pass, and the guards on both sides knew him, so he was not obstructed this time and easily came to the underground through the excavated passage.

The entire underground excavation has two levels.

The two layers are connected by a deep underground pool of water.

When it dried up, this deep pool of water was a skylight, extending from top to bottom and then parallel to the depths. Now it is full of water and there are undercurrents. If you are not careful, you will be washed to other places by the undercurrents. Every time you pass through, you must be led by a professional diver.

Apart from that.

Ropes and lights are connected inside the underground waterway to prevent accidents.

Zhou Ping had a strong mental strength and had memorized the route after coming here once. However, he still followed the diver and swam all the way down to the second underground layer.

Just popped up.

A rich aura of spiritual energy washes over you, with birds singing, flowers blooming, and lush green plants.

If it weren't for the dome and the surrounding rock walls, one would have the illusion that this place was not underground.

"Captain Zhou."

"Captain Zhou is here."

"How's the investigation going on with the case above?"

Several experts and professors from the Taoist temple came forward to greet them. They had basically stayed on the second floor for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating since the excavation began. Now that the Spring Festival was approaching, they were still immersed in the excavation of ancient artifacts.

This is no longer a work spirit or responsibility, but purely out of interest.

Only if you have a strong interest in this work can you have such passion.

If it were the young people in the Taoist temple, how could they bear the loneliness? In the era of cultivation, the world is full of decadence and extravagance, and no one is willing to come underground to work hard.

"The suspects have been apprehended and are currently being interrogated."

Zhou Ping replied, his eyes scanning the emerald green cave hall. "How's it going? Now that the outer formation is open, have you found any ancient artifacts?"

This time it was Lei Jiming who spoke up. "Not yet. We only found a cave in the rock face with some lifelike stone statues carved on it. There are also some special patterns that seem to be formation patterns. Last night I was thinking of asking you to come down as soon as possible to study these formation patterns."

"Oh?"

"There's another formation? Let's go and take a look."

He immediately followed Lei Jiming and several experts and professors to the discovered cave in the rock wall. The cave was not deep, about thirty or forty meters. There were different stone statues and patterns on both sides of the cave. Some of the stone statues were human-shaped, and some were animal-shaped. The human-shaped statues looked like fairies from the sky, while the animal-shaped statues had ferocious expressions, which made people feel uneasy.

Zhou Ping watched carefully.

But he quickly shook his head, "Those patterns are not array patterns, more like carvings or something. At least they are not blood gate arrays, they may also be some kind of ancient text."

The ancient Chinese expert behind him immediately said, "If it is ancient Chinese, then it is not all the characters we study. Perhaps it is divine text."

"Divinity?"

Everyone looked very interested.

The ancient text expert said, "I've seen it in ancient books. In the ancient times, there were divine texts circulating. They were the earliest writings in the world and the manifestation of the Tao. However, these can no longer be verified."

Zhou Ping glanced at the ancient Chinese expert, whose surname was Huai. "Professor Huai, wasn't the earliest Chinese language pictographic?"

Professor Huai shook his head. "Hieroglyphics are the earliest form of language communication in civilization. But before humans appeared, during the Shanhai Era, giant beasts existed between heaven and earth. They couldn't communicate like us humans, so they probably used this kind of divine writing."

Zhou Ping's heart was slightly moved. This Professor Huai really knew a lot and was very knowledgeable. If these patterns were really divine texts, they would be extremely valuable. So he continued to ask, "Professor Huai, I wonder if you can recognize what these patterns are?"

"I've only read some records, and I don't know what they mean specifically."

Professor Huai said, "But this may not be a divine text."

Everyone continued to move forward.

At the end of the cave, there was a bronze door.

And on the bronze door there are still many patterns from the stone wall.

"Is this door impossible to open?"

"There seems to be a formation restriction on it. I pushed with all my strength, but it didn't budge at all."

"Captain Zhou, you are a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, you can give it a try."

"it is good."

Zhou Ping did not refuse.

He took a deep breath.

Nearly three hundred thousand spiritual energies flowed through his body, and then suddenly burst out from between his palms.

boom.

A violent and huge spiritual energy exploded.

However, there was no movement from the bronze door.

This surprised him greatly. You know, with his current strength, although he has not yet established a foundation, the combined force of nearly 300,000 spiritual energies and physical body is definitely not less than tens of thousands of pounds. Even heavy stone doors or even heavier doors can be pushed open.

He withdrew his hand and looked at the bronze door carefully.

Suddenly I discovered that there was indeed a formation restriction on it.

The expert professor behind him said, "We tried using blood, but it didn't work. The bronze door quickly absorbed the blood."

Zhou Ping narrowed his eyes, "Can this door also absorb blood?"

"Correct."

I thought about it.

He used his psychic power to force out a drop of blood, and then sprinkled it on the bronze door.

hum.

The bronze door quickly absorbed the blood and burst into colorful light.

Everyone was stunned.

I didn't expect that the blood would cause a reaction on the bronze door.

"The outer formation is the Blood Gate Formation. The formation restrictions on this bronze gate should also be related to blood."

Zhou Ping said.

Lei Jiming also immediately forced out blood.

Suddenly, the bronze door glowed with light again.

The experts and professors at the Taoist temple are also practitioners, and they followed closely behind.

All I saw was waves of rosy clouds.

The carvings on the bronze door turned blood-red, as if they were absorbing blood to fill the lines.

Lei Jiming continued to use blood, but the carvings did not move.

“We need more practitioners.”

Everyone is enlightened.

So he quickly notified the practitioners above, including Jiang Xia, Captain Xing and others, and they all came to the underground passage.

After the bronze door absorbed the blood of thirty people.

The sky is filled with glow.

Alarmed everywhere.

People throughout Qingcheng were talking about it, and some even took photos and posted them online. All sorts of rumors spread in a short time.

Fortunately, the country responded very quickly.

That night, many practitioners and troops were dispatched to protect the place. At the same time, the photos were deleted and the place was banned.

boom.

Late at night.

The yin energy of heaven and earth is at its peak.

The bronze door still emits a rosy glow.

Director Wang from the Special Section Bureau, Director Peng, and some monks from the two major Taoist temples, Moon Palace and Jade Rabbit, all gathered outside the bronze gate.

They also used blood.

The blood-red carvings on the bronze door were almost complete, and everyone held their breath, waiting quietly.

Everyone knows that once the bronze door is opened, there must be unimaginable opportunities inside.

Even better than the chance of spaceships.

After all, judging from the jade artifacts excavated previously, the bronze door clearly contains relics from ancient times.

Zhou Ping was also waiting quietly.

Ten years later, the seal of the earth was broken, and powerful people came. If they want to fight for a chance of survival, perhaps the only thing they can rely on is this relic from ancient times.

boom.

As the blood light gradually spread throughout the entire bronze door carving.

The entire bronze door shook violently. "It's about to open!"

Someone couldn't help but shout.

Zhou Ping, Director Wang, Director Peng and other monks were all very nervous.

What are the relics of ancient times?

It's dangerous.

It's still chance.

No one can say for sure now.

But no matter what it is, what's inside will definitely shock the world.

"Miss Jiang."

"I'll open it later. Remember to follow me closely and don't run around."

Zhou Ping's spiritual voice.

Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment, but soon his dashing and capable face showed understanding and he nodded secretly.

The outer formation of this bronze gate is the Blood Gate Formation, which is an evolution of the ancient Blood River Formation and is a dangerous formation.

Rumble.

The bronze door suddenly opened a crack.

The suffocating and extremely dense evil spirit swept out like a storm.

"careful!"

Director Wang and others all got out of the way.

Zhou Ping grabbed Jiang Xia's wrist and immediately dodged.

However, some practitioners did not have time to react and were directly hit by several rays of blood rushing towards them.

Chi Chi.

The blood light actually corroded these practitioners into a pool of blood.

Wait until the evil spirit and blood dissipate.

The glow from the bronze door slowly dissipated.

Everyone stared at the blood and gasped.

too frightening.

What on earth is this thing? It’s so ferocious.

But that's it.

Lei Jiming rushed directly into the bronze door.

See this scene.

The practitioners behind him didn't care either.

The wages of avarice is death.

The great era of spiritual practice has arrived. If you are afraid of death, you will always be just an ordinary person.

Shhhhhh.

Figures rushed in one after another.

Zhou Ping and Jiang Xia looked at each other and followed closely.

Wow.

Step into the bronze door.

What I saw before me was a desolate and dilapidated palace. From the outline of the palace and the carvings, I could vaguely see what it looked like in its glory days.

"It seems like there has been a great battle here!"

Director Peng of the Special Section General Administration said with a serious expression.

Some practitioners who followed saw the scattered objects on the ground. As soon as they touched them, the objects turned into ashes and disappeared into thin air.

"I don't know how many years it has been. Except for the temple, most things have decayed over time."

Everyone was walking in this abandoned temple.

There were many items on the ground, which seemed to be magical tools used by monks, but they would turn into ashes as soon as they touched them. However, there were still a few lucky people who picked up intact umbrellas, swords made of special materials, and a string of jade beads.

Director Wang moved his lips, and he wanted to say that everything here belonged to the country, but he swallowed the words back. After all, anyone who is not a fool knows how precious things are that can still be preserved after years of decay.

Sudden.

There were screams.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that in the southeast direction of the temple, there was a practitioner from the special department who was covered in blood and then turned into bloody water.

Whizzing.

Zhou Ping, Director Wang, and Director Peng jumped over and immediately saw a corpse next to the blood.

“There are actually corpses left!”

"Those magical instruments and treasures have all turned to ashes over the years, but this corpse still remains. It must be the supreme power of the ancient times!"

Director Wang sighed.

Zhou Ping's heart was also shaken.

From the spirit of the formation on the spaceship, he learned that Tai Yan Sect's long-distance ship had been attacked by the spiritual power of an ancient powerful being on Earth, and crashed into the Earth. That was tens of thousands of years ago.

The corpses of all the members of the space ship have long since turned to ashes, but the corpses in the bronze door in front of them are still left, which shows how terrifying their strength and cultivation are.

Such a strong person.

Even if it has fallen, its bones still have great power.

Untouchable, unoffensive.

The blood next to it is the end.

"Look, there are patterns on the bones. They should be the same as the patterns on the stone wall outside and the bronze door."

Professor Huai stared at the patterns on the bones and said excitedly, "This is definitely a divine text. A divine text that can be engraved on bones may be a powerful cultivation method."

This statement came out.

The eyes of the people surrounding the corpse lit up as they stared at the patterns on the bones, wanting to memorize them in their hearts. Even if they didn't understand their meaning, they had to remember them now for the future.

The same is true for Zhou Ping.

With his mental power, it was not difficult to remember the patterns, but unfortunately, even if he remembered them in his mind, no new text would appear in the virtual frame.

no way.

Although the virtual frame's deduction of national destiny is omnipotent, the prerequisite is that one must practice to get started. Even if one only has a superficial understanding, one can still manifest the deduction. However, he was completely confused by the divine text in front of him and did not recognize a single word.

"Although Professor Huai recognized the divine text, he didn't know its meaning. It seems that we can only wait for half a year, when the spaceship combat challenge begins again, to ask the formation spirit."

At this time.

Director Wang said, "Everyone, everything inside the bronze door is extremely dangerous. If you don't want to die, it's best not to move."

The cultivators who followed in all looked stern.

They were indeed a little scared, as the tragic deaths of those who died gave them the biggest warning.

Therefore, everyone explored carefully and cautiously afterwards.

Jiang Xia followed Zhou Ping, her bright and pretty face full of solemnity.

The entire abandoned temple is not very large, probably only the size of a football field. There is nothing else inside except collapsed stone pillars and rotten items. Only the remains of a corpse have great value.

However, because this was the first search and many places were submerged by collapsed stone pillars, some things might not have been discovered.

The next morning.

Zhou Ping and others were still staying inside the bronze door.

After a night of searching.

Many people obtained one or two well-preserved items. Jiang Xia was lucky enough to pick up an ancient jade with a fire phoenix pattern carved on it. As the spiritual energy in his body was used to activate it, the ancient jade would emit a flame that had the faint shape of a phoenix.

"congratulations!"

"This ancient jade must be a supreme treasure. It may require some kind of method to fully activate its true power."

Zhou Ping said with a smile.

Jiang Xia's face was filled with joy. She brushed her hair back and asked, "What about you? Did you gain anything?"

Zhou Ping said helplessly, "I'm unlucky. I've searched more than ten times but haven't found anything."

He searched many corners and crevices buried by the stone pillars.

Even like Director Wang, he used his spiritual sense to cover the area, but found nothing.
