Chapter 257: Anecdote of King Lu
Along the way, gravel roads began to appear, and there were scattered dead trees on the side of the road.
The dim color makes this sudden appearance even more strange. After walking a little further, they saw the courtyard wall, which increased their doubts and solemnity.
The four cautiously walked a few hundred meters, and finally saw the outline in front of them.
In front of their eyes, there were seven or eight houses, but they were dilapidated and unpresent.
It's not the same as the joy (qíng) of suddenly seeing an oasis or a caravan in the desert.
When they first entered this place, they felt an endless dead silence. And they hadn't seen any breath of life before, which made them already conclude in their hearts that this was a lifeless place.
I finally got used to this breath and accepted the reality.
But now there were suddenly traces of humanity, which made them instantly solemn.
Si Yu stopped and asked, "How can anyone live here?"
Gongye Bai said: "Isn't this normal? The place we are going to is called the Ancient City of the Fallen God, and it should also be a city, so it is not strange that there are people here." ”
Si Yu didn't have the heart to joke with him at the moment.
Li Yunjing said: "Let's go in and have a look! But everyone's heart, I always have a bad feeling here." ”
Jiru nodded, and they didn't feel very good.
The first thing you notice is the structure of the house. It was made of stones, and the roof had collapsed. But it is vaguely recognizable that the roof is made of stone slabs.
Secondly, there are some farm tools.
Hoes, knives, etc., are already rusty.
Li Yunjing tried to flick off the rust of the chai knife, and then revealed the knife (shēn) inside. I thought the rust was very deep, but I didn't expect it to be just a thin layer.
When he vibrated with the true element, the chai knife showed its original style.
Looking at the structure of the houses here and the style of the remaining farm tools, this should be very old.
Li Yunjing has not been here for a long time, and he doesn't know much about this aspect, but he can still see that this should still be a broken thing.
The other three people don't touch the chūn water with their fingers, and they have no idea about these things at all.
Gong Yebai saw the firewood knife in Li Yunjing's hand and exclaimed, "Is this a firewood knife? This is more powerful than a magic weapon." ”
It's so rotten that it's impossible to date.
However, Gongye Bai also boldly guessed that it had existed here for at least 10,000 years. The basis for his inference was a few large characters carved into the stone when he entered.
This font is an ancient script, which is not much used in this era.
And the information that Li Yunjing got from the Cangwu Immortal Emperor was that this village was at least 30,000 years old.
For he had passed by here before he ascended, and the location of the houses here at that time was still the same.
The 30,000-year-old woodcutter and farming tools that have not corroded made him very impressed by this casting process.
Out of curiosity, Li Yunjing directly put away the firewood knife.
Gongye Bai was surprised: "Brother Li, you don't want to sell it as an antique!"
Li Yunjing raised his eyebrows: "Your idea is good, this thing should be worth a lot of money!"
Gongye Bai: "······"
"There's someone here!!"
Jiang Heng's voice suddenly came from the other side of the stone wall, which startled the three of them.
Especially with him, there were people who immediately alerted them.
The three of them entered quickly, but saw Jiang Heng standing in front of a stone table, and there were three 'people' sitting next to the stone table.
Of these three 'people', the whole (shēn) is purple-black, and the muscles (ròu) atrophy tightly wrap around the skeleton.
"Mummy?" Li Yunjing exclaimed.
"Do you know this thing?" the three of them looked at Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing explained: "This is another method of drying corpses. Their posture is weird..."
They also noticed that the posture was indeed odd. The three of them sat around the table, as if they were chatting, as if they were eating.
What amazed them the most was whether this posture was before or after life.
Also, how the hell did they become dried corpses?
Extrapolating from the time, how can it still be a dry corpse for such a long time? Shouldn't it just turn to ashes?
The four went to several other houses, and the results were similar.
The house is dilapidated, and if it weren't for the fact that the walls were made of stone, and there were many stone things in the house, I am afraid that there would be nothing here except dried corpses.
They were shocked to see what kind of condition it was that the wood was corroded and the human body was preserved.
There is also the question of how powerful it is to be able to do such a thing in an instant.
At this time, Li Yunjing and Cangwu Immortal Emperor thought of a word at the same time - Ancient Divine Soldiers.
If it was really caused by the ancient gods, then what kind of thing would this thing be?
At this time, it was getting late, and the four of them hurriedly withdrew from the village.
Si Yu didn't want to spend the night here.
The four of them returned to the river (chuáng) and prepared to meet here tonight. It's pitch black at night, and there's a heavy fog. Even if they were in the True Yuan Realm, they couldn't see far.
Therefore, it is not very wise to act at night.
The four of them ate snacks casually, and began to discuss what to do next.
Their target is Lance Horn, and the other is the Ancient City of the Fallen Gods. But at this time, they are like headless flies, not knowing where to go.
At this time, Li Yunjing said: "Ming (rì) is early in the morning, and we go up along the river (chuáng). ”
The three of them looked at Li Yunjing suspiciously at the same time.
Li Yunjing explained: "No matter what era in this world, the development trajectory of villages and cities will definitely have rivers around them. Because this is the foundation of their survival. ”
"Since there are traces of Rao here, it is very likely that there was also human activity in the ancient city of the Fallen Gods. Since there are human beings, water is the foundation of survival. We go up the river (chuáng) and maybe we will have a harvest. ”
Sanru nodded, this is indeed the case.
Gong Yebai asked, "What about Lan Xiang and Huo Ting, aren't you going to clean them up?"
Li Yunjing: "This place is very big, and it is difficult to find out the location, we are tracking around, completely relying on luck." If we find the Ancient City of the Fallen Gods, it's the same to clean them up there. ”
Gong Yebai: "Then it depends on the two of them not to run into each other." ”
Li Yunjing nodded yes, if the two of them arrived at the same time, the four of them would not be able to succeed. But this (qíng) is not good for anyone, it all depends on luck.
In the end, however, the four agreed to go up the chuáng (river) first.
The four of them ate zero casually and sat down to rest. Gongye Bai and Jiang Heng need to cultivate steadily, and they also need to improve their martial arts.
And Li Yunjing and the others also have to improve their cultivation.
Otherwise, threatening to beat Lan Xiang and Huo Ting would be empty words.
