We walked on the stairs with the tip of the pen pointing upward. I don’t know what kind of jade the stairs were made of. They were translucent white and our reflections could be clearly reflected when we walked on them.
Each step is very high and requires us to take long steps to go up.
The only good thing is that there are no traps on the steps that can be emptied by just stepping on them, which makes us feel a little relieved!
On top of the altar are the three bronze figures we just saw. They surround the fusang sacred tree in the center, worship, and seem to be performing their respective duties.
The three bronze figures are built according to the height and build of normal people. They are wearing silk robes and have masks on their faces.
In the West, the nose is triangular, which is exactly what their unique mask looks like!
The bronze figures on the left and right seem to be worshiping the tree, and their postures are almost identical. The bronze figure in the middle is slightly different. His hands are facing up, as if he has prepared some treasure to offer to the sacred tree.
But the strange thing is that the hands lifting up are obviously empty...
This person should be the high priest. The more I stared at the high priest's hands, the more curious I became: "What do you think he is holding in his hands?"
"How do I know this? I was not present during the sacrifice." Yin Ling'er flattened her mouth and posed a big problem for me.
Lao Jiang is worthy of being a black-sword unicorn. He changed the topic and said: "What if we use the backward method? Think about what things unearthed here can just fit in?"
At this time, the sun bird ring suddenly flashed in front of my eyes!
Isn't it the Golden Crow standing on this bronze sacred tree? Could it be...
By some strange coincidence, I first took out the repaired sun bird ring from my backpack, and then placed it in the hand of the high priest, and it turned out to be exactly the same.
"Wow, brother Jinglan, you are too smart."
"Li Jinglan, I really belong to you!"
"Baby, very, good!"
Yin Ling'er, Lao Jiang and Ge Weihan all gave me a thumbs up, but at this moment, a surprising scene happened.
As the Sun Bird Ring returned to the hands of the Bronze High Priest, a beam of golden light actually burst out from the Sun Bird Ring and shone on the Bronze God Tree.
At that moment, the entire bronze sacred tree seemed to be bathed in the light of the Sun God!
This mysterious force is also affecting the nine sacrificial pits. The black energy rising in the nine sacrificial pits seems to be suppressed and all burrows back into the bones.
Seeing this scene, I was ecstatic: "I know, it's the Sun God Bird Ring. The reason why there is a problem in Sanxing Village is because the Sun God Bird Ring is broken and leaked out, causing the altar's suppressive power to appear. loose."
"No wonder I carried the jade all the way, but I was not killed by the curse. It's because I put together the Sun God Bird Ring, which helped me suppress the power of the curse on the jade toad!"
Speaking of this, Yin Ling'er suddenly interrupted: "So, our hard work of running so far was in vain? We just gave the Sun Bird Ring to Professor Xiang and Professor Xu to touch it?" "
Only then did I realize that I was overly excited. When I went to Yanjing University to find Mr. Xu and his friends, I had the sun bird ring in my backpack, but the curse on them was not lifted.
Lao Jiang also frowned: "Things are far from that simple. Don't forget that the Sun God Bird Ring has been destroyed, and the divine power it injected has also been destroyed. Maybe it can be effective for those of us who have not been cursed. It has a certain protective effect, but for people who are deeply affected by the curse, this sun bird ring cannot have much effect..."
To put it in simpler terms, this curse is a disease. If you haven’t gotten sick yet, you can prevent it by holding the sun bird ring. But for people who are already seriously ill, you still need to find a cure. Get rid of the disease!
Seeing Lao Jiang staring blankly at a spot on the Bronze Sacred Tree, I couldn't help but ask: "Master, what's wrong?"
Lao Jiang did not reply, but turned to borrow a magnifying glass from Ge Weihan to observe carefully.
I was so curious that I leaned my head over. I never expected that under the illumination of the magnifying glass, there was actually half a faint fingerprint printed on the bronze sacred tree!
There is absolutely no way that this fingerprint was left by an ancient person. Someone must have been here and left not long ago.
We were immediately alert!
Lao Jiang walked around the bronze sacred tree to check, and suddenly stopped. It turned out that a piece of the floor he was standing on seemed to be empty.
The top of the altar is paved with pieces of blue flooring. Each floor has a triangular shape and fits together perfectly.
Old Jiang turned over the empty floor and found a square box inside!
The entire box was made of sapphire, somewhat similar to today's urns, but much larger than the urns. It seemed to be used to store something particularly important.
However, after we lifted the lid, we found that it was empty and the item had disappeared.
To be more precise, it has been taken away by the one who was one step ahead of us!
"Then what should we do now?" I couldn't help but look at Lao Jiang and asked.
Lao Jiang's face turned dark, but he still comforted us: "There must be a way to reach the mountain. This man seemed to have come in a hurry and left in a hurry. He only took away the contents of the box. I I think there should be more important clues under the ground.”
I immediately looked in the direction of the fingerprint just now: "Yes, if he only wants the things in the box, why would he climb the tree?"
As soon as he said this, Lao Jiang's dark eyes immediately stared at me, spinning around. Having already figured out this guy's nature, I instantly knew that this old bastard must be holding something back.
I immediately shook my head three times: "No, no, no!"
As I expected, Lao Jiang actually asked me to climb up the bronze tree and look for any mechanism.
"Please, I majored in archeology in college, not tree climbing! What's more, I'm not a monkey yet."
I raised my chin with an expression that I would rather die than surrender.
Lao Jiang said quietly: "That's a pity! I originally planned to fill out an application form for you when I went back."
"Although my apprentice entered the industry late, he is smart, brave and possesses unique skills. Where is the end of Jin Lin for you? In the future, you will be a black sword unicorn..."
"Hey, I've already prepared my words, but my apprentice is not up to par, so I, as the master..."
Before he could finish speaking, I pointed at Lao Jiang’s nose and said, “You’re so cruel! I’ll crawl!”
He was about to get the Jinlin Badge, but now that he had fallen short, all the previous losses were in vain.
I had to use the spirit of climbing trees every three days when I was a child. Although I haven't done this kind of thing for a long time, things engraved in my bones can never be forgotten.
I climbed up the tree in three strokes. Thinking of the tombs I had entered in the past, I was afraid that there might be some fatal mechanism, so I slowed down.
Although this is a bronze tree, the branches on both sides have become my climbing and stepping points!
