Qin Ruo and He Xilin were both dumbfounded. 『』

It turns out that in ancient times, people called the secret land the heavenly realm, and the mundane world the human realm

If you think about the world at that time, the wisdom of the people, if so, there is nothing wrong with that.

He Xilin couldn't help but laugh and said: "Since there is a heavenly realm and a human realm, there must be an underworld."

"If you're talking about the Hades realm, it does." Meng Yuan groaned slightly, and continued.

Qin Ruo and He Xilin were both stunned, glanced at each other, and He Xilin then asked, "Where is there really such a place?"

"In the south, in the southern realm of Hades, the flames are tumbling and lifeless. However, there are some special products. Meng Yuan continued.

Qin Ruo pondered for a moment and looked at Meng Yuan: "You said before that every year there will be another great flood in the Heavenly Realm, what other disasters are there?"

Meng Yuan nodded: "I don't know too much, it's all handed down from the ancestors." It is said that once a year, there are storms and chills in the winter and floods in the summer. ”

"If the celestial realm refers to the world beyond this gate, then there are no more of these calamities. Today, it is a real fairyland. He Xilin said.

Meng Yuan was a little surprised, but he was not too shocked, but said with a deep sigh: "More than two thousand years have passed, I am afraid that there are changes in the vicissitudes of life, and there are also huge changes." ”

"Do you want to see the outside world," Qin Ruo continued.

Meng Yuan was a little hesitant, after all, he had been isolated from the world for so long, and he was obviously worried.

He Xilin smiled and slowly began to tell the situation outside, which was enough to talk for more than two hours, and it was barely extremely simple.

"Ordinary people can fly in the sky, and ordinary people can transmit sound thousands of miles away," Meng Yuan was a little dumbfounded.

"It's the power of technology. Actually, it's hard to say. Maybe in the future, science and technology will be developed, and the secret of cultivation will be solved, and this is also the secret of cultivation. He Xilin continued.

Meng Yuan nodded: "I don't know." I'd love to check it out. ”

Qin Ruo and He Xilin breathed a sigh of relief, if he was willing to go out, there might be a way to close the door.

"Well, I'm going to go out and have a look. But here, don't let anyone bother, I'm coming back. Meng Yuan looked at the two of them and quickly made up his mind.

After all, it has been more than 100 years since I lived alone, and this loneliness is really crazy.

Qin Ruo laughed and patted the door behind him: "You should have a way to open this gate."

Meng Yuan looked at Qin Ruo in confusion: "How did you get in here?"

He Xilin didn't hide it, and said with a wry smile: "Don't mention it, we are purely unlucky." ”

As he spoke, he told him about how he and Qin Ruohe came in and were locked up here.

Meng Yuan was stunned, and then said very depressedly: "I can't open it either." ”

Qin Ruo and He Xilin were both stunned, he was the only heir here, was there no way to open it

"No need to ask, I really can't help it. I haven't been out for more than 2,000 years, and at the beginning, there were still people who knew how to open it. Later, I didn't know. You may not understand that this is just a place for people in the human realm to live. Those who built this place are the gods outside. It is said that the last time the gate was closed, before the great flood, we closed the gate to prevent the great flood. But after that time, the gods outside never came to open the door again. "It's a little sad to be wished.

Qin Ruo and He Xilin were both silent.

I see

However, the people here are obviously cultivators, so how can this be explained?

Hearing Qin Ruo's question, Meng Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Since we live in the world of the gods, naturally there will always be some people who will learn a little bit of the skills of the gods. The gods are also willing to teach our children to learn the knowledge of becoming gods, to master the power of heaven and earth, and to become gods. For hundreds of years, although the people here were originally from the human world, but later, there were also many people who had strong power and had some of the power of the gods. Isn't that normal?"

"With a part of the power of the gods, we can help the gods do something. For example, making elixirs and forging artifacts, we can all do it. It is said that our race, and later the gods, believed that if we had a few hundred years, we could also become gods, or at least servants of the gods. It's just that there is no later" Meng's expression was a little gloomy.

"Then I can ask, what's going on here, the people here, it seems to have been poisoned, everyone. How did you survive?" He Xilin finally couldn't help but asked this question.

Meng Yuan shook his head: "I don't know, I just heard the old man say that one day, there was a sudden violent shaking outside, and later, suddenly the people of the clan died. The rest of the people were fishing by the river, but they survived with little impact. However, the tremors also shook the river and the passage here, and by the time they finally came back, the people here were dead. ”

The look of the wish was very sad.

Qin Ruo and He Xilin also knew why there were still people alive, it should be that earthquake that protected them and isolated the poison here.

"However, you don't seem to have buried the people here," He Xilin looked at Meng Yuan.

In the concept of the Chinese people, it is the most basic to enter the soil for peace. But these people, why didn't they bury the people here?

Meng Yuan shook his head: "I don't know, I only know, but later opened the passage, and after coming, someone died soon after." The rest of the people were terrified that we had offended the gods and had been punished by the gods. He hurriedly blocked the passage and thrived on the edge of the river. It's just that later the population became smaller and smaller, after all, there were not many people who went fishing, only a few dozen people. At its peak, as far as I know, there were only about 100 people. ”

"Later, after hundreds of years, some bold people reopened the passage, and after coming to see it, the people here were indeed dead. The people took some of the tools and belongings from here and continued to live there. As for here, no one dares to come, because this is a cursed place. Later, as the population became less and less, the number of visits here became less and less. However, we are becoming more and more familiar with this place, but the things here are also becoming more and more decayed. We didn't come much after that. After all, there are no more things we need here. ”

"At last, when only me and my father were left, my father told me all the things he knew, saying, mayhen, one day, the gods will remember the people here and forgive us the punishment. Later, my father also died, and I was left alone, and I was so lonely that I opened the passage again and came here to check. ”

"But there's nothing here but decay, here," Meng Yuan said, gesturing to the gate.

"Here, I know, is an exit to the outside, but I can't open it. In addition to this, there is also an exit, which is said to be the exit of the gods, and on the other side, it is covered by crumbling rocks. I don't even know where it is, because the area of collapse over there is too big to discern where the exit is. Meng Yuan continued slowly.

Qin Ruo and He Xilin were a little depressed, it seemed that there were not many things that could be kept

He Xilin was a little unwilling: "Then you haven't studied the formation"

"Formation, you mean, those magical words and lines are made up of things, I can't read, and so is my father. What he taught me was passed down by word of mouth from the people above. No one is literate, because the people we go fishing for, here are only the lowest servants, and we have no chance of literacy. Meng Yuan's face was very bitter.

Qin Ruo and He Xilin both sighed.

In the Qin Dynasty, and even in the Han Dynasty, servants were not human beings, and it was still a traditional social view. After all, it was an era that had just transitioned from a slave society to a feudal one. Not to mention the Qin and Han dynasties, even in the Sui and Tang dynasties, slaves still did not have any human rights, and this point is extremely clear in the history books.

Not to mention literacy, even if it is a full meal, it is an eternal luxury.

Regardless of whether the food is sufficient or not, the slave almost never has a full meal.

"Then do you keep some related things, such as book slips," He Xilin asked cautiously.

Meng Yuan looked at He Xilin and said with a wry smile: "We are illiterate, how can we save those things, in the eyes of my ancestors, they are all sacred, and no one dares to take those things that are recorded in words." Because that is the power that belongs to the aristocracy. If we get it, it's blasphemy. ”

Qin Ruo and He Xilin were both speechless, tyrannical and ruined, but they also knew that this kind of thing, for illiterate people, was far less valuable than a handful of rice and firewood.

"Then how did your cultivation proceed," Qin Ruo couldn't help but ask.

At this time, Meng Yuan had a hint of a smile: "Among our ancestors, there was a man named Shikeng, who was born in a stone pit, so it is called Shikeng. It is said that when he was fishing, a god passed by, and he thought he was very clever, so he taught him the skills of the gods. But asking him cannot be said to be taught by the gods. Can only be used for fishing. ”

"The ancestors were slaves, so naturally they didn't dare to speak out. Later, something happened, the ancestors were helpless, and Shikeng gave us a surname, called Meng. He said, "Meng, is the surname of the god." We can only scream secretly. Don't dare to go out and shout. But no one cared about us anymore, and we got into the guts and screamed at each other. When Meng Shikeng was dying, he boldly taught his people the skills of the gods. The people in the clan began to slowly learn the skills of the gods. ”

"Then it was passed down from generation to generation, and we had a surname, and we learned the skills of the gods. But we never got out of here. Meng Shikeng came here before he died, and then he told us that we have been locked up here forever. Because, the door is closed, and there is no way for him to open it. Meng Yuan said, glancing at the door.

In his eyes, he could see the desire to go out, but he didn't have a strong meaning.

"Two adults, I don't know, if you are a commoner or a nobleman, if you are a nobleman, I am willing to be your slave. I just wish I could go out and have a look. Meng Yuan said, and actually lowered his head.

Qin Ruo and He Xilin were really shocked
