Chapter 1048: Chapter 1044: Blood Opens the Stone Gate
Chen Yang’s destination was in the very center of this Chaotic Stone Valley, and the two of them still had so way to go.
Although the area of Chaotic Stone Valley wasn’t vast, there was danger everywhere, and the two had to tread very carefully.
So it took them an hour to reach the deepest part of the valley.
When they arrived, what they saw was a pile of haphazardly placed giant stones, resembling ruins of a relic.
Though the giant stones had all collapsed and looked chaotic, a serious observation would reveal that the buildings that once stood here must have been very grand.
And quite dignified!
Because the giant stones placed here were huge long strips, one could estimate from the length of the stones how tall and majestic the building used to be!
“It’s not just big, but most of the stones also have reliefs.”
Chen Yang scanned his surroundings, filled with doubt.
Why would such buildings exist in this remote mountain forest?
And looking at the marks of erosion on these stones, they must be at least several hundred years old.
At that ti, who would build such things in this remote mountain forest?
Chen Yang’s heart was filled with doubt, not understanding everything before him, and also puzzled why Old Master Wang gave him the parchnt, directing him to this place?
“Wow, this was originally an ancient relic… such exquisite reliefs.”
While Chen Yang was pondering, Huang Yiyi on the side suddenly exclaid.
Then she squatted down and began to caress the reliefs on the stones, as if admiring an exquisite artwork.
Seeing Huang Yiyi’s reaction, Chen Yang couldn’t help but ask, “Haven’t you been here before? Didn’t you see these reliefs earlier?”
“I was always on the outskirts, knowing the danger here, so I never ca in, nor did I see these reliefs.”
Huang Yiyi replied naturally, while touching the reliefs.
Chen Yang, hearing this, said nothing more, and once again scanned around.
Even though the building here had collapsed, its forr appearance was unrecognizable.
However, Chen Yang found that the foundation of the structures still existed, and he wanted to proceed to find out what this place was ant for.
“Guide Huang, will you wait here for , or co along to explore the surroundings?” Chen Yang bent down and asked Huang Yiyi before setting off.
Upon hearing Chen Yang’s words, Huang Yiyi imdiately stood up and glanced ahead.
Looking at the intricately placed large stones and the shrubs more difficult to traverse than the outside, she shook her head, “The road ahead is too hard to walk, I won’t be a burden, I’ll wait here for you.”
“Alright, then wait for a mont, I’ll be back shortly.”
Chen Yang nodded and then proceeded further inward with Wangcai.
Outside, the ground consisted of small fragnts, mostly the size of a millstone.
Whereas the interior was almost all tens of ters long, and one or two ters high rectangular stones.
The chaos of such large stones felt like entering a maze.
However, Chen Yang did not choose to walk below but rather leaped onto the top of the giant stones and began walking above.
He took Wangcai and walked around the entire foundation of the mysterious structure.
After completing the round, Chen Yang could already conceive the brilliance of the building a few hundred years ago.
Moreover, he deduced from the foundation that this structure was either a giant stone palace or a piled-up stone altar or temple.
“That people from hundreds of years ago could build such a structure in the deep mountains, truly remarkable.”
Gazing at the giant stones weighing hundreds of tons, Chen Yang couldn’t help but marvel internally.
Unable to fathom how ancient peoples transported these massive blocks here and built them into structures.
But all of this was not the focus.
The focus was why Old Master Wang directed him to this place?
Surely not rely for him to visit an ancient monunt?
“This place surely conceals sothing.”
Chen Yang’s gaze was firm, convinced there must be so peculiarity or artifact here.
Otherwise, Old Master Wang wouldn’t have handed the parchnt to him.
Considering this, he continued walking amid the chaotic stones.
Aiming to uncover everything.
After about ten minutes, he indeed discovered sothing peculiar among the stones.
A complete stone, perfectly squared, very uniformly shaped.
On the surface facing the sky of this square stone, there was a relief carving of a palace’s grand entrance.
The relief depicted beams and figures, with various exotic beasts drawn upon the door.
It resembled the gates of old siheyuan in the Capital City.
“What is this thing?”
Looking at the stone-carved door, Chen Yang was even more bewildered.
Analyzing based on the location, this place was at the center of either palace or temple.
Why would sothing like this be placed at the central spot?
From an ancient perspective, what was placed centrally was surely the best, most treasured item.
But Chen Yang couldn’t discern any signs of value in this stone-carved door.
Chen Yang squatted down, unable to resist touching the relief with his hand.
Unexpectedly, the relief on this stone appeared smooth but was extrely sharp!
With just one stroke, his finger was sliced open, and blood flowed directly.
Seeing this, Chen Yang hurriedly withdrew his hand and quickly tended to his finger.
After attending to the wound, his gaze returned to the stone gate.
Witnessing the blood accidentally drip onto the stone, it was slowly converging toward the relief depicting the door lock.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yang’s eyes widened!
Before he could react, the blood had already entered the stone gate’s lock position.
Then the entire relief erupted in brilliance! All the reliefs suddenly beca vividly alive!
The radiant surge lasted a second or two, followed by a resounding clang as if so chanism had been triggered!
Hearing this sound, Chen Yang imdiately guarded his surroundings, on alert.
Noticing no other change around, he relaxed and continued to examine the relief on the stone gate.
At this ti, the carved stone gate transford into two stone blocks, slowly opening!
Once the stone gate entirely opened, Chen Yang saw inside a space about the size of four fists.
Within the space lay a book that seed very old!
His eyes brightened upon seeing the book, and without hesitation, he reached for it.
The book’s exterior bore no text, appearing like a few sheets of waste paper.
Faced with this, Chen Yang felt a bit surprised, but just as he prepared to open it and see if there was anything inside, a sudden scream ca from behind!
“Ah!”
It was Huang Yiyi’s voice!
Upon hearing the voice, Chen Yang didn’t have ti to check more; he quickly stuffed the book into his clothes and then turned around and rushed back, disregarding everything.
