Chapter 45: The True Face of the Crossbow Ancestor

As he was talking, a figure suddenly flashed from the right side of the two, jumping up the stone stairs, it was Gami, it seemed that he had not rested for a long time, and he was exhausted.

"It's just too tiring," Garmi complained.

With Gami's backpack, the three of them started on the stone staircase, comfortable days, with things and a place to stay, all that remained was to wait for Caitlyn to appear, and another four days passed, and finally waited for Caitlyn to appear. It took nearly 7 days for the four of them to finally pass through the corridor of the dormitory. The four of them rested peacefully for two days on the stone stairs.

"Xi Zhou, you said before that the high priest made a mistake, what did you mean?" Tashi still remembered what Xi Zhou said before leaving.

Xi Zhou yawned and said: "The night swimming fish in the air must be the designer of the previous underground palace, placed here, it is like a pond, the fish swim randomly in the pond, for any point in the pond, it is random, and the timing of the entrance to the dormitory is also random, but everything is a function of time, as long as the time is long enough, then it will definitely appear at that point, this principle is what we often say about the theory of exchanging time for space." There are two ways to solve this level, the first one, of course, is to take risks, by jumping back and forth on the back of the fish, to pass through the tunnel as soon as possible, and the other is the one we choose, waiting, waiting, although slow, but safe"

"I see!" Tashi nodded.

Everyone packed up their equipment and entered the crossbow ancestor's dormitory.

In the dormitory, the coffin of the crossbow ancestor is placed in the middle of the dormitory, located on a regular tetrahedron, and each side of the tetrahedron is ninety-nine eighty-one steps. The top of the coffin is covered with a veil, and there are ever-bright lamps at the four corners of the coffin, and there are grooves on the walls on the four sides of the dormitory. Xi Zhou took out the fire fold from his waist bag, put it between his fingers, and ejected it into the groove, only to see flames shoot out of the groove, and the flames stretched out on both sides, like two fire snakes, jumping up and down, and finally one point, the whole dormitory was illuminated as if it was day.

After a lot of hardships, the four finally found the coffin of the crossbow ancestor. The people reverently climbed the stone stairs one by one to the platform where the coffin was placed, and the Western Zhou Dynasty moved the veils to both sides, and there was no pattern or inscription on the coffin lid. Xi Zhou was a little excited, because everything inside the coffin might explain many questions about the past and future of the Haotian Continent. However, the closer he got to the truth, the more hesitant Western Zhou was.

Garmi was a little impatient and said: "Anyway, it's already here, it's a god or a ghost, just look at this last trembling, Xi Zhou, you led us to get here, it can be said that your task has been completed, and the next thing needs to be faced by us together, no matter what demons and monsters there are, the four of us will carry it together!"

Gami looked at Tashi and Caitlyn, and they both nodded.

Gami used an engineering shovel to pry open the lid of the coffin, revealing the coffin inside, but everyone had an amazing look on their faces, especially the Western Zhou, this coffin is completely different from the coffin in the coffin before, and even the Haotian Continent saw, this coffin is transparent, cylindrical, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and there is a woman in gorgeous clothes lying inside, with a beautiful face, the woman clasped her hands and placed it in front of her chest, as if she was asleep. Everyone's eyes shifted from the head to the bottom of the body, this woman lying in the coffin is not the same as the image of the crossbow ancestor with a human head and a snake body in the statue, she is an ordinary human being!

And on her half-exposed left shoulder, there is a pattern exactly the same as that on Xi Zhou's body. Xi Zhou suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and his head began to ache violently, and he lost consciousness.

When Xi Zhou woke up again, he was lying in Caitlin's arms, and the fragrance on Caitlin's body made Xi Zhou feel very comfortable. Seeing Xi Zhou wake up, Caitlin said with concern, "How is it, is it okay?"

Xi Zhou nodded, Caitlin helped Xi Zhou up, and handed the water bag to Xi Zhou, Xi Zhou took a sip, wiped the remaining water marks on the corner of his mouth with his hand and said, "We were deceived!"

Everyone looked at each other in puzzlement, and Xi Zhou said angrily: "Although there are seven statues in the central square of the underwater city, there are actually only six people. In this underground palace, we saw 5 of them, which were the humans in the ear chamber and the corpses of the four clans in the middle hall, and the so-called crossbow ancestor was actually the seventh statue!"

"You say the Crossbow Ancestor is a humanoid monster?" said Garmi, incredulously

Xi Zhou nodded and continued: "Now, I have pieced together all the information, maybe it is the whole picture of the origin of the entire underwater city. One day, a big white bird, descended from the sky, from inside out of two humanoid creatures dressed in different clothes, the five tribes were terrified, this big bird fell from the sky, the five tribes regarded it as the arrival of the gods, the humanoid monsters used their own civilization, the natural disasters caused by the distortion of time and space, warned the five tribes in advance, used the space-time ore veins, saved the Haotian continent, and made up the legend of mending the sky, so the five tribes believed that this was the blessing of the gods, so in the place where they lived, built the square, and will be enshrined as gods。

In order to cover up themselves or tend to protect themselves, the humanoid monsters used the method of public opinion to make the five tribes think that they were the appearance of the human head and snake body, so the woman in the humanoid monster became the so-called crossbow ancestor or Nuwa, and the man in the humanoid monster became the so-called high priest, with the migration of time, the humanoid monster could not escape the punishment of time, so after using his own civilization to predict the time of the next disaster, in order to continue to weave this lie, the high priest began to build an underground palace under the city where the five tribes lived, because they knew that this disaster could be devastating to the Haotian Continent, and they could not do anything。 They designed the shackles of time and space, blocked the veins of time and space, and through the so-called oracle, informed the five tribes that the disaster would come again, telling everyone to leave their homes and take refuge in the deep mountains and valleys, therefore, we couldn't find any bones in the underwater city, everything seemed to be without a trace of panic, everyone seemed to leave the city step by step, the high priest used his own civilization to configure the elixir of immortality, turned the messenger between them and the five tribes, turned into a dry corpse, locked in the coffin in the middle hall, let them help them protect their own kind, and after they completed the construction of the underground palace, they also stayed in the underground palace forever。

The vicissitudes of life, that disaster did not erase the five clans from the Haotian Continent, they came out of the deep mountains, valleys, rivers, forests, because of fear, they never mentioned the disaster, because of awe, they no longer mentioned the details of the arrival of the gods, but there is always some information preserved, so in the Blazing Phoenix Divine Prefecture and Huaxia Divine Prefecture, there will be some legends of the Crossbow Ancestor and Nuwa"

"That's true, as you said earlier, that this so-called Crossbow Ancestor does come from other Star Lands," Tashi continued to sort out some of the fragments

Xi Zhou nodded in agreement.

"After such a big circle, it turns out that I am really in the grave of the alien land" Gami suddenly realized

"And what about the pattern on your body and the pattern in the coffin?" Catelyn didn't miss a single detail.

Xi Zhou smiled and said: "It may be a disease, this disease comes from the space-time vein, maybe after entering the space-time vein, it may be that after entering the space-time vein, it is produced because of the different physique from the other four races, so the humanoid monster also found that he was infected with this disease after using the space-time vein to solve the space-time distortion, and his life was losing rapidly, so he was in a hurry to build the underground palace, and the external manifestation of this disease is this pattern, which is the true portrayal of my body day by day since entering the space-time vein." ”

Caitlin was silent, a little uneasy.

Xi Zhou saw Caiitlin's thoughts and comforted: "Since it is a disease, there is a way to cure it, this time, if we don't find this place, if we don't see the true face of the crossbow ancestor, I may not be able to solve the mystery of this pattern for the rest of my life, because of everyone's help, I can come here, let me remove a piece of my heart, I am very grateful to everyone." ”

"Xi Zhou, you said this, the five clans are in the same spirit, and after so many tribulations, we don't need to say much to each other, now, what we have to do is how to get out, and then treat you," Tashi said

"Tashi is right," Gami echoed.

Seeing that everyone trusted him so much, Xi Zhou said: "The rhythm of sensationalism has passed, do you want to know some other gossip?"

Everyone felt very helpless about the Western Zhou Dynasty, such a random switch, but when they heard that it was gossip, they became interested again.

Xi Zhou said: "If I am not mistaken, the high priest at the door should like this woman lying in the coffin very much, design the dormitory for her, cultivate the dry corpse for her, and bury herself for her, such a man belongs to the kind of absolute infatuation in our human race!" However, because of the previous things, I think there should be no exit from this dungeon, because he is so brainless, how can he let outsiders know their secrets and go out unharmed, so I want to say that I am actually not very optimistic about going out."

Xi Zhou used this way of first raising and then suppressing, ridiculing the environment in which everyone was located, but let everyone accept the facts while not being so pessimistic, which made Caitlyn feel particularly comfortable.

Listening to what Xi Zhou said, Gami became interested and said: "In this case, there is still a lot of food in the backpack, we are in this dormitory today, come to some excitement, and lick my mouth at the coffin on the stone platform."

Xi Zhou laughed, and Caitlin saw Gami's expression, looked disgusted, and walked to the side. Gammy laughed out loud when she saw how disgusted Caitlyn was for what she had done.
