C2027 Entering the Sacred Land(2)
" Alright, alright. Stop guessing blindly. This is all about those elites. What does it have to do with us small tribe members? No matter how much trouble they cause, we have to continue living our lives. Let's go and burn the rabbit meat. Today, we will drink up all the two pounds of Gao Liang Wine. Let's go and cook first. When the first time comes, let's eat and drink! As far as I'm concerned, no matter how important the position of the Patriarch is, it can't be compared to my food. With our status, it's fine as long as we don't get involved. "
The guard's words instantly silenced the others. Indeed, these matters related to the clan were simply high and mighty compared to the guards living at the bottom of the clan. There was no point in discussing any further. Some of them could not help but feel melancholy and helpless as they said, "That's right. How can ordinary clansmen like us support the clan's matters? Who the patriarch is has nothing to do with us. We just want the family to be stable and prosperous. Then our lives will naturally be better. Only this way... That's the only way... "
Just as the four guards were busy listening to their companions, a sound of air breaking suddenly sounded from outside the window. Before the guard could put the skinned rabbit into the plate, his voice suddenly stopped!
He opened his eyes wide and kept moving his mouth in fear. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not make any sound! At this moment, a thumb-sized bloody hole appeared in his throat! Countless amounts of blood gushed out from that bloody hole!
"AH!!" The first guard who saw the sudden change immediately cried out in panic. This quickly attracted the attention of the other three guards. But when they turned their heads to look, all the windows in the room instantly shattered. The sound of glass shattering rang out. At the same time, four or five black shadows rushed in from outside the room!
Before the remaining three guards could react in shock, the cold dagger had already accurately and cleanly cut through their necks. Apart from the blood that sprayed out, their lives almost instantly disappeared. Their widened eyes were filled with confusion and shock, but unfortunately, they didn't even see the face of the enemy. They turned into cold corpses...
"Hehe, Chief Lu, you haven't come to visit your brothers in a while. If this time it succeeds, you must reward us well. Being on duty in the Sacred Land is a tough job, living on a tall mountain is boring..." The chief guard who led Fann Binn and the rest along the mountain path to the Sacred Land glanced at Lu Xun, who was standing beside him. He could not help but flatter and smile. " When are you going to praise your brothers and show your face in front of the elders? Hehe..."
Lu Xun looked at the head of the guards and chuckled. " The Chief of the Guards, you don't even look at the right person when you suck up to him. If you want your brother to find a better job after going down the mountain, why do you need me to show my face in front of the elders for you? Isn't there someone in front of you who can change your fate? The future clan head is here, what else can he say to me?"
The head guard was obviously stunned, and he quickly smiled apologetically as he lightly slapped his own face. "Aiyo, look at my memory. I really have eyes but no eyes. Of course, the future head of the family would be able to see the suffering of his brothers here. Hehe. I have already forgotten the principle of getting the moon first when one is close to a building. I hope you can really become the head of the family, then I'll be able to bask in your glory! "
Fann Binn glanced at the chief guard. Although he did not say anything, in his heart, he let out a dissatisfied sneer. The world was cold... Looking at the guard's frivolous attitude when he spoke, how could he have any respect for him? This guy probably didn't think that he could really inherit the position of the family head! But it was also true that a cripple who came to the Holy Land for treatment... He was simply like a dead horse trying to save a life. How great was the chance that he could really become the Patriarch that he could rely on?
Lu Xun could clearly feel the attitude in the Guard Chief's words. He couldn't help but reveal a cold expression, "Alright, alright. Don't talk about useless things. Introduce more information about the Sacred Land to our future Patriarch."
"Alright, alright..." Seeing the dissatisfaction on Lu Xun's face, the chief of the guards wasn't stupid enough to know that he had crossed the line. He hurriedly bowed and said, "It's hard to tell how long the history of this Misty Mountain has been. Anyway, it's a treasure land that our Tianyu family's first or second ancestor found before he brought his people here. The reason why it's called a treasure land is because there's a natural thousand-year stalactite pool in this sacred land."
"The stalactite has a special effect of tempering and healing the human body. It's especially suitable for inner force experts to warm and nourish their meridians. It can allow one's meridians to contain even more inner force. The stalactite pool had helped the Tianyu family produce dozens of inner force experts, but the concentration of the stalactite pool was limited. After it is gradually diluted, it spreads to our generation. It will no longer have any effect, so it will be abandoned. "
"If not for the fact that our ancestors planted many precious medicinal herbs in the special climate of the Sacred Land, I'm afraid the entire Sacred Land would have been completely abandoned. We are not far from the Sacred Land, just ahead. We're almost there."
Fann Binn looked in the direction pointed by the chief of the guards. In the distance of this narrow mountain path... There was no sign of any karst cave in the holy land. Instead, there was a long natural waterfall flowing down from the gap between the two mountains. It looked very spectacular.
At this time, the captain of the guards introduced, "This waterfall is called Misty Waterfall. It was named after the fog in the morning. The Holy Land is at the edge of the waterfall. The scenery here is second to none, but because it's deep in the mountains, not many people can see such a beautiful scenery..."
As they listened to the Head of the Guards' explanation, the group quickly arrived at the edge of the waterfall. As the Chief Guard had said, Fann Binn only discovered a well hidden cave entrance by the waterfall when he got closer. The words Holy Land of Ancient Language were carved on the top of the cave entrance. It could be seen that it had been a long time. When they just walked into the cave, the two guards sitting on the ground and taking a nap quickly reacted. They picked up their weapons and stood up vigilantly.
"It's me! Look at you guys. If an enemy appears... Perhaps it was because he could not keep his face straight, the head guard directly scolded the two guards who were slacking off in front of him, "It's me! Look at you guys! If an enemy appears, how are you going to protect the safety of the Holy Land?! They lowered their heads and did not dare to refute. They just allowed him to scold them.
"Alright, alright. Head guard, we are not here to listen to you scold your subordinates. Besides, this Holy Land is already in a half-abandoned state, so there's no need to constantly be on guard. " Lu Xun stopped the Chief Guard from continuing his sentence and said impatiently. "It's better to bring us into the holy land quickly and go to the stalactite pool."
"Yes, Chief Lu!" The head guard nodded at Lu Xun to show his obedience. After instructing the two guards a few more times, he picked up the torch next to him and walked into the karst cave.
After walking for a short while in the cave, Fann Binn and the others soon felt that the cave was wide and spacious. The sound of flowing water nearby also started to get louder and louder. However, since it was already night time, they could not see anything clearly in the darkness. Therefore, he didn't know what kind of scenery was inside the spacious karst cave.
The guard raised the torch and signaled Fann Binn and the others to wait on the spot. He went to the stone wall of the karst cave and used the torch to light up the other torches in the karst cave. The whole cave was lit up by the bright flames in an instant.
It was only at this moment that Fann Binn instantly saw the true appearance of the holy land. In this hundreds of square meters cave, there were thousands of stalactites hanging down from the ceiling like cones. A turbulent underground river ran through the entire cave, dividing the cave into two parts, north and south.
In the south where they were standing, there were all kinds of strange flowers and plants. These should be the precious herbs planted by the ancestors of Tianyu family, with different colors and shapes. It looked like they were standing in the middle of the flowers and plants. The scenery was very beautiful. In the north, there was a stone bed and a stone bookshelf.
Not far from the bed, there was a pool that was only about ten square meters in size and irregularly round. In the pool, there was a milky white liquid that was slightly thicker than water. This should be the stalactite pool of the Holy Land. In the middle of the two areas that were separated by the river in the north and south, there was a wooden bridge that looked very simple. Due to the passage of time, it looked old, deep yellow, and looked like it was on the verge of collapse.
"The water resources in Misty Mountain are very abundant. The underground water is dense in the mountains. The wide underground river in front of me stretches downwards. Due to the rapid flow of water, it is filled with danger. No one dared to go down along the underground river, so they don't know where the underground water leads to."
Seeing Fann Binn staring at the underground river flowing through the karst cave, the guard laughed and said. " The future family head, across the Holy Bridge, was the area where the experts of my clan who had comprehended the inner arts and mental cultivation methods were cultivating. The handwritten copy of the inner arts and mental cultivation methods was placed in the stone cabinet, and the pool beside the stone bed was the stalactite pool. If you want to treat internal injuries, you need to soak your body in this pool. Let the stalactite properly heal your body. "
The Guard Captain said so, but from his expression, it could be seen that he did not have much hope in treating internal injuries with the stalactite.
Seeing that Fann Binn could not stand up, he spoke again. "Ever since Elder Yu Yide successfully cultivated his inner energy, no one in the Sacred Land has successfully advanced to become an inner force expert here. The inner arts and mental cultivation methods was originally brought here personally, but it was now casually placed in a stone cabinet. The reason was that the effect of the stalactite pool was not obvious, so the degree of vigilance and security of the Holy Land was also much lower. Like in the past, it was impossible to rely on just two guards to be on guard."
Fann Binn nodded to express his understanding. A holy land that was already in ruins was not worth investing a lot of manpower and resources into it for Tianyu family. Naturally, the strength of the guards and guards would be greatly reduced. More importantly, although this place was still called a holy land, it was still a holy land. There was no longer any reason to be respected and revered by the clansmen, and it had become so desolate. It was understandable.
"Mr. Fann, you will stay here for the next few days to heal your injuries. The guards and I will be on guard at the entrance of the karst cave. There is a stone door at the entrance of the Holy Land. As long as you put it down, I will not disturb you. Please rest assured. If you want to come out of seclusion or if we have any urgent matters to report to you, we will press the reminder button and notify you. Only you have the right to open the stone door."
