Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 178: Devoting my life to fulfilling the wishes of the sages
Leng Zhan looked at the entrance with a serious expression and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Although the face of the statue has been worn away by the waterfall for so many years, the strong lines carved by an axe can still reveal who it is!
It’s really Leng Xianyuan.
Since there is a statue of Leng Xiangyuan here, maybe his real remains are inside!
Leng Zhan, who had always been skeptical about this matter, was finally convinced at this moment.
Between the mountains and rivers, under the waterfall, is where Leng Xiangyuan was buried!
But he had been in the academy for so many years, but he never knew it!
"There's no time to be stunned, they're going down." Tang Zheng has already reached the edge of the riverbed.
The ice was melting rapidly, and some broken ice had already started to hit the statue with a clinking sound. Li Zhi and his companions had already gone down, and their traces were no longer visible at this time.
Seeing that the riverbed was about to thaw again, they didn't have much time to think, and Leng Zhan jumped in without saying a word.
The rock wall had been washed very smooth by the water, and some melted ice had broken into pieces and fallen on it. It would have been impossible to jump down safely if one did not have very proficient footwork and martial arts skills.
However, every step Leng Zhan took seemed to be taken without any thought. His footwork had become an instinct of his body. After landing smoothly, he stretched out his hand towards Jiang Wuyan. Jiang Wuyan also understood what he meant and immediately took out a rope and threw it down.
Among the regular subjects of Yisu Academy, survival courses are compulsory, and some survival tools are also necessary. Among the several people traveling together, one must bring one, which is the rule of the Aristocratic Academy.
Therefore, even if a warrior who comes from an aristocratic school has the same strength as a warrior outside and encounters the same disaster, his chances of surviving are much greater.
Jiang Wuyan and Leng Zhan both started working . After the top and bottom were fixed, the others could go down on the broken ice.
However, they don’t have much time left!
The turbulent river will soon return to normal, and once it does, the rope will definitely not be able to withstand such a huge impact force.
"Go down." Tang Xiaotang nodded to Tang Zheng, and climbed down along the rope first.
Her footwork and martial arts skills were the last ones to be learned, and she only confirmed it after entering the academy. Before that in Wulong Town, she had hardly learned any decent footwork.
So, she didn't hesitate and just pulled the rope and went down.
Meng Fenghua was about to follow, but was stopped by Jiang Wuyan: "Xiaotang has gone down, so you can't go down."
Meng Fenghua raised her eyebrows, "Why?"
"There must be someone who knows the whole story outside. If we don't come out within an hour, tell the head deacon everything immediately. After all, we just need to rush in and rush in. I don't know how long they have been preparing for today."
Meng Fenghua frowned again. There seemed to be something ominous in Jiang Wuyan's words.
Didn't come out for an hour...
Can it still come out?
The sound of the water was getting louder and louder, leaving them no time to pull or shove.
Tang Zheng simply made the decision: "Fenghua, if you don't go back, Xiao Lingdang will be worried. Xu Qingyan, let's go."
As he said that, he stepped on the rope and went down smoothly. Xu Qingyan was already at three stars and could deal with this situation without any footwork. Both of them landed safely.
Ning Mo and Jiang Wuyan came down last, leaving Meng Fenghua alone there.
Before either side could say another word, the huge stream of water had already rushed down the cliff again. From Meng Fenghua's sight , there was no longer any trace of Tang Zheng and the others.
Meng Fenghua only felt that the heavy sword behind him was much heavier than usual...
Looking at the water that had regained its turbulence, her mood also surged like the water.
"An hour...?" She looked at the sky. "Don't make it sound like you're leaving a will!"
…
None of Tang Zheng and his friends had expected that there would be such tranquility behind the waterfall.
There was no sound except the rushing water.
They stood at the foot of Leng Xiangyuan's statue, looking up at this giant statue that was ten times taller than them. Even Tang Zheng, an alien, couldn't help but feel an inexplicable respect in his heart.
There is a stone tablet under Leng Xiangyuan's feet.
The stone tablet was not enlarged, but was of normal size. The name of the tomb owner was not written on it, but only two lines of words were engraved.
I will devote my whole life to fulfilling the wishes of our ancestors without any regrets!
Leng Zhan's fingers stroked the lines on the stone tablet and said, "This is his own handwriting."
The great man who built this Emerald City, the so-called sages, are naturally the Purple Gold Emperor, the famous generals from the top families, and those who have left their names in history. But now, he himself has become a "sage" in the eyes of later generations. People like Leng Changwang, Leng Buchen, Leng Zhan... all followed in his footsteps and came to this Emerald City to continue to fulfill his unfinished wishes.
The wishes of great men from generation to generation are actually the same.
Fight against the demons!
Protect the glory of your race!
First wish...
Leng Xiangyuan gave himself a good name.
The surroundings were damp and the light was not strong, but they were all two-star and three-star warriors. After the stars rose, the bright stars in the fate palace were enough to provide a broad vision.
Li Zhi and the others have disappeared, which means there must be an entrance to the cemetery nearby.
"Looking at the location and orientation of this place, it shouldn't be the location of the robber's hole, but the main entrance to the cemetery." Xu Qingyan's calm voice came from behind everyone, "The cemetery of Leng Xiangyuan's era would be very dangerous if you dug a robber's hole to enter, but if you enter from the main entrance, the danger will be reduced by at least half."
Tang Zheng and Ning Mo were already accustomed to Xu Qingyan's broad knowledge and did not say anything.
Jiang Wuyan asked again, "Master Xu, are you sure you can find the entrance?"
Xu Qingyan shook his head.
Leng Zhan and the others thought he couldn't find it, and were about to think of other ways, but Xu Qingyan said again: "No need to look for it."
"No need to look for it?" Ning Mo looked around but didn't see any mechanism.
However, Xu Qingyan didn't say a word and walked directly towards the middle of the mountain wall...
Tang Zheng and the others followed behind him, only to see Xu Qingyan close his eyes and take the last step toward the mountain wall, half of him was embedded in the mountain wall...
Tang Zheng and his friends followed immediately, only to find that this mountain wall was not a real mountain wall, but just a projection of the surrounding mountain walls. It looked like there was a mountain wall here, but in fact it was a cave entrance!
"The entrance to this cemetery is not sealed , why bother looking for it? Uh..." After Xu Qingyan walked into the cave, he was ready to continue walking inside. However, just three steps into the cave, he suddenly covered his chest and held onto the mountain wall, frowning tightly...
"Mr. Xu, what's wrong?" Jiang Wuyan, who was closest to Xu Qingyan, quickly helped him.
In the cave that was brighter than daylight due to the stars, Xu Qingyan closed his eyes tightly and gasped for breath as if he was short of oxygen.
Tang Zheng could even clearly see that a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead in an instant!
