Chapter 1653

In a dim secret room, Huo Jilin, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan sat around a worn wooden table, on which was placed this yellowed ancient book.

The paper of the ancient book was so fragile that it seemed to turn into powder with a slight touch. The handwriting on it was blurred, revealing a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.

Huo Jilin frowned, staring at the words on the ancient book that looked like a heavenly book, trying to find a clue from them.

His fingers gently touched the paper, as if he wanted to interpret the mystery through touch.

"What is written on it? Why can't I understand a single word?" Huo Jilin muttered, his face full of confusion.

Hu Bayi came over, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, then shook his head helplessly: "I don't understand it either. This doesn't seem to be any kind of text or symbol we are familiar with." He scratched his head, looking a little frustrated.

Wang Kaixuan was so anxious that he stamped his feet. "Oh, what should we do? We finally found such an ancient book, but we can't understand the content inside." He put his hands on his hips and kept complaining.

Huo Jilin pondered for a moment, and suddenly raised his head and said, "I heard that the owner of Meishan is knowledgeable and knows many unknown secrets. Maybe he can help us interpret this ancient book."

Hu Bayi nodded, "That's a way, but Meishan is a long way, and we may encounter many dangers on the way."

Wang Kaixuan patted his chest and said, "What are you afraid of? In order to find out the secret of this ancient book, we have to take risks no matter how big the danger is."

So, Huo Jilin decided to go to Meishan with the ancient book. Along the way, they crossed mountains and ridges, passed through dense forests and steep canyons. Huo Jilin carried his bag on his back, holding the ancient book tightly in his hand, and his heart was full of expectations and uneasiness.

"How far is this Meishan? My legs are almost broken." Wang Kaixuan complained breathlessly.

Huo Jilin encouraged, "Hold on a little longer, we should be there soon."

Finally, they arrived at the foot of Meishan Mountain. The peaks were towering into the clouds, surrounded by mist, giving people a mysterious and majestic feeling. Huo Jilin took a deep breath and began to climb with Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.

The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on. They climbed carefully, and stones rolled down from time to time. Huo Jilin's forehead was covered with sweat, but his eyes were still firm.

After some hard work, they finally came to the top of Meishan Mountain and met the legendary mountain master. The mountain master was dressed in a white robe, with gray hair, a kind face but a mysterious temperament.

Huo Jilin respectfully handed the ancient book to the mountain master and said, "Mountain Master, we accidentally got this ancient book, but we can't understand the content. I hope you can answer our questions."

The mountain master took the ancient book and gently opened it. His eyes became solemn when he saw the text. After a long while, the mountain master slowly raised his head, looked at Huo Jilin and the other two and said, "This ancient book records a secret about a mysterious tomb robber from a thousand years ago."

Huo Jilin and the other two suddenly widened their eyes, eager to hear the mountain master continue.

The mountain master said: "A thousand years ago, there was a tomb robber named Mo Chen. He had special skills and could travel through various dangerous places to find precious treasures. However, during a tomb robbery, he accidentally triggered a powerful curse and disappeared without a trace."

Hu Bayi said in surprise: "Curse? Does this ancient book mention how to remove this curse?"

The mountain master shook his head: "The ancient book did not mention the method to remove the curse, but it mentioned some clues left by Mo Chen before he disappeared. These clues are hidden in a mysterious ancient tomb."

Wang Kaixuan said excitedly: "Then can we find the ancient tomb based on these clues, and maybe we can solve this secret."

The mountain master smiled slightly: "This ancient tomb is full of dangers and unknown mechanisms and traps. You have to think clearly."

Huo Jilin said firmly: "Mountain master, we are not afraid of danger, and we must uncover this thousand-year mystery."

The mountain master nodded: "In that case, then I wish you good luck."

Huo!

After Huo Jilin, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan said goodbye to the mountain master, they began to discuss how to find the mysterious ancient tomb.

Huo Jilin said: "Although we know there is such an ancient tomb, there are too few clues. It is not easy to find it."

Hu Bayi pondered for a moment and said: "Didn't the mountain master say that Mo Chen left some clues? Let's study this ancient book carefully and maybe we can find some clues."

Wang Kaixuan came over and said: "Yes, yes, let's take a look."

The three of them opened the ancient book again and pondered word by word.

"Hey, look at this"A paragraph. "Hu Bayi pointed to a blurred handwriting and said, "It seems to mention a place name called 'Ghost Valley'. Will it be related to the ancient tomb?"

Huo Jilin shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. This 'Ghost Valley' sounds weird. Maybe it's dangerous."

Wang Kaixuan patted his thigh and said, "What are you afraid of? No matter how dangerous it is, we have to go. Maybe this is the key clue."

So, the three decided to go to Ghost Valley to find out.

Along the way, they slept in the open and experienced hardships.

"This ghost place, there is not even a shadow of a person." Wang Kaixuan complained as he walked.

Huo Jilin comforted him, "Don't complain, be careful, there may be some danger around."

As he was talking, a group of wild wolves suddenly rushed out of the woods and pounced on them with their teeth and claws.

"No, everyone be careful! "Hu Bayi shouted.

The three of them quickly stood back to back, ready to deal with the wolf's attack.

Huo Jilin drew out the dagger from his waist and said with a firm look: "Don't be afraid, let's fight them!"

Hu Bayi also picked up the stick in his hand and fought with the wolf.

After a fierce battle, the wolf was finally repelled, and the three were exhausted and panting.

"Oh my God, we finally drove them away." Wang Kaixuan sat on the ground, breathing heavily.

Huo Jilin said: "Hurry up and keep going. We have to find the Ghost Valley as soon as possible."

After walking for a few more days, they finally came to the legendary Ghost Valley. The valley was filled with thick fog and was gloomy and terrifying.

Wang Kaixuan said with some fear: "This place looks really scary. Do we really want to go in?"

Hu Bayi said: "We are here, there is no reason to retreat. "

The three of them walked into the Ghost Valley carefully. The valley was silent, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the front.

"What's that sound?" Wang Kaixuan asked nervously.

Huo Jilin made a gesture to silence everyone, signaling them to be careful.

They slowly approached the source of the sound, and saw a huge cave in front of them.

Hu Bayi said: "This cave looks suspicious, maybe it's related to the ancient tomb."

Wang Kaixuan swallowed and said: "Why don't we not go in? What if there are monsters in it?"

Huo Jilin said: "Since we are here, how can we be willing not to go in and take a look."

The three of them mustered up the courage to walk into the cave.
