Episode 25 Chapter 2
After burrowing through this crack in the rock, they entered a narrow canyon surrounded by mountain walls, which was really very narrow, and the blue sky above them was only a thin line, and the sunlight could not enter. On the mountain wall, there is a hole with a black hoe.
Just in front of the entrance of the cave, Meng Khan stopped, and he said to Zichuan Xiu solemnly: "My lord, this is the holy land that we have guarded for thousands of years. You are the first foreigner to share this secret, and I hope you will help us keep it a secret. β
With a very sincere attitude, Zi Chuanxiu said in a deep voice: "Thank you, sir, for your trust. I won't reveal this secret to anyone without your consent. β
"Thank you, sir. Once inside, we were in the Holy Land. Something strange may happen, so please calm down. Also, please don't mess with the items inside, because there are many things in it that we can't understand, and it is dangerous to touch it, and the seventeenth patriarch of the Mongolian tribe died in the Holy Land, so please do what I instruct. β
After speaking, Meng Khan first drilled into the swarthy hole, and Zi Chuanxiu also went in.
The entrance to the cave is not large, but it has become very wide inside. Zi Chuanxiu was very surprised, in front of him was a passage, spacious, tall, clean, bright, able to accommodate himself and Meng Khan side by side without being crowded. The passage is more than two meters high, neatly manicured, and the walls are light green. He touched it, and the tentacles were hard, warm, and smooth like clotted cream, and he couldn't make out what material he made of. The passage glowed with a white, hazy light, but no candles, torches, lanterns, or other lighting tools were to be found. This bright light is not emitted by candles or torches, it is more like daylight, but softer.
Meng Khan led the way in front, and Zichuan Xiu followed closely. There was a strange smell in the air, like the closed smell of a cellar that had not been ventilated for a long time. There was silence in the passageway, so quiet that you could hear each other's heartbeats. The footsteps of the two echoed in the silent tunnel, echoing in the silence over and over again.
Zi Chuan Xiu is not a timid person, but in this treacherous tunnel, hearing his own footsteps that seemed to come from far away, looking at the long passage with no end in sight, he felt a wave of fear from the bottom of his heart: "To open such a deep passage in the belly of a solid rocky mountain, even the strength of the Zichuan family may not be able to do it." This is by no means something that the backward Mongolian people can do. Who built the Sacred Pool? What is the purpose of building in this remote rocky mountain? β
Before Zi Chuan Xiu could come up with a clue, a white door appeared in front of them, with a shocking black skull pattern on the door, and a golden lightning bolt symbol next to the skull.
Without Meng Khan's explanation, Zichuan Xiu knew that there was a great danger hidden behind the door.
Zichuan Xiu asked Meng Khan: "Sir, what's behind the door?" β
Under the reflection of those faint white lights, Meng Khan's face was terrifyingly pale: "My lord, our people generally call this gate 'the choice of the gods'. It only allows the patriarch to pass. β
"'The Chosen of the Gods'?" Zi Chuanxiu felt that Meng Khan's serious appearance was funny, and said with a smile: "How to choose the method?" Could it be that the gods will kneel down from the world to block the way? β
"Your Excellency. This is not something to be joked about, if it weren't for my Mongolian royal family, entering this holy place, the consequences would be very serious. β
"How serious is the law? Could it be that just like the ascension, it will cause a heavenly tribulation to rain down 100,000 heavenly thunders? β
Ignoring Zichuan Xiu's quips. Meng Khan said very seriously: "If it weren't for the Mongolian royal family, anyone who entered this passage would have to die." β
It was like a sudden bone-piercing yin wind blowing in the passage, Zi Chuan Xiu was shocked, and his smile was all frozen on his face.
"In the notes of the patriarch, it is recorded that one of the patriarchs did not believe in this legend, and he passed through this gate with his men. But then, all the retinue suddenly died for no reason, and only the patriarch himself was unharmed. From now on. No one will ever dare to disobey this will again. So. Your Excellency, you can stay here for a while. β
Meng Khan said seriously, but Zi Chuanxiu muttered in his heart: "A bizarre death for no reason? It's too, this kind of lie can also be spoken, there must be something strange! Meng Khan, this guy is too cunning, he wants to leave me here alone, I don't know what the conspiracy is, or follow him safely! Besides, I have worked so hard to come and see the Holy Land. Is there any reason to stand outside the door and not go in? β
If the person who spoke was Gotha Khan or Kadan, Zi Chuan Xiu might still think about it, but Meng Khan, who had no credibility at all, said such absurd words, Zi Chuan Xiu only thought that he was planning some conspiracy, and he promised in his mouth: "Then you go in quickly, I will wait for you here." β
Seeing Zichuan Xiu talking so well, Meng Khan was very happy. He pressed his hand on the palm sign that was recessed on the door, and the whole door glowed with white light, and the low hum of the machine sounded in the passage, and then, a sweet female voice said kindly: "The test has passed, and it is confirmed to be the Fifth Mongolian Defender Inheritance!" Welcome back to Base Six, the Fifth Mongolian Defender Legacy. β
With the female voice, the white gate buzzed upward, revealing the passage behind.
Zi Chuanxiu looked over curiously, and saw that there was also a passage behind the door, which was the same as his own passing, and there was no end in sight at a glance, and there was no danger in sight, which strengthened his thoughts: "Meng Khan's guy must be lying!" β
He remained silent and waited for Mon Khan to enter, and he quickly stepped through the door and followed him.
Hearing the noise, Meng Khan turned his head and was shocked: "My lord, why did you come in?" Go back! β
Zi Chuanxiu shook his head: "It's very strange here, I'm a little flustered when I stand there, and I feel more at ease with you, sir." β
"My lord, you, you're in trouble!"
As if to annotate Meng Khan's words, a shrill alarm sounded in the passage, and the gate fell silently, sealing the way for Shikawa Xiu to exit.
The female voice sounded again, and her tone was urgent, showing a hint of urgency: "Intruder found in Passage II!" Intruders have been found in Passage 2! Intruders identify themselves immediately, or they may be attacked! Intruders identify themselves immediately, or they may be attacked! β
Zichuan Xiu faintly felt that something was wrong, and asked Meng Khan: "Intruder? You mean me, right? How do you identify yourself? β
Meng Khan exclaimed angrily, "How do I know! I've always been alone before, and I've never been in the mood for anything like this! β
The urging voice became more and more urgent, and the voice also changed to a majestic male voice: "The entrant immediately identifies. Otherwise, you will be attacked! Warning, the base is on second-level alert, there may be biochemical beasts or mutant species infiltrating, and the defense system is activated! β
Meng Khan and Zichuan Xiu panicked. No matter how stupid they are, when they hear the word "defense system", they should understand that nothing good will happen next. In a panic, Zi Chuanxiu suddenly noticed that a palm sign glowing red had appeared on the wall beside him. The appearance was very similar to the press on the door just now, he had an idea, and asked Meng Khan: "When you identified yourself just now, did you press your hand on this sign?" β
"Yes."
"Now that it's asking me to identify myself, is it going to put my hands on it too? Left or right? β
"I don't know ......" Meng Khan's face turned pale, and sweat flowed from his forehead.
Hearing such an irresponsible answer, Zichuan Xiu was so angry that he wanted to go crazy. At this time, the male voice began to count: "Identify yourself immediately, or attack!" Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five......"
"Meng Khan, if I have any three long and two short. Your entire Mongolian tribe has to be martyred for me! β
Zi Chuanxiu scolded angrily, and pressed his hand on the red sign with a trembling hand. He was ready to turn into dust in an instant, but found that the tentacles were warm, accompanied by a slight tingling sensation.
He was taken aback and quickly withdrew his hand. I looked at the palms of my hands, but there were no scars.
The sound of counting had stopped, and there was silence in the passage.
Zi Chuanxiu and Meng Khan looked at each other, so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe. In the silence, the two of them could hear their hearts beating.
There was a humming and low sound of the machine running, and a soft female voice sounded again: "The test has passed, and it is confirmed that he is the inheritor of the Thirteenth Forest Defender." Welcome back to Base Six, Thirteenth Forest Defender Inheritor. β
"Whew-" The sound of a relieved exhale was particularly harsh in the quiet passage. Zichuan Xiu asked Meng Khan: "That's it." We're safe, aren't we? β
Meng sweat couldn't stop wiping the sweat from his forehead, and in just two minutes just now, his handkerchief was soaked: "Yes." However, I have never heard such a welcome speech. β
Fifth, the Mongolian Defender Inheritor...... Thirteenth Lin Clan Defender Inheritor......
Hearing these two welcome words, Zi Chuanxiu vaguely thought of something, but his thoughts were erratic, and he couldn't grasp it at once.
He asked hesitantly: "Sir, has the Mongolian royal family always taken Meng as their surname?" β
Meng Khan frowned. He also thought of something: "It has always been, it has never changed in thousands of years. Isn't this a coincidence? But my lord, your surname is Zichuan, not Lin. β
"Zichuan is the surname given to me by the previous chief of Zichuan, and my real name is Lin He."
The two of them shook at the same time, looked at each other for a full ten seconds, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Meng Khan's eyes flickered, his eyebrows tightened, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Sir, what are you thinking?"
"Ahh Like a person who was suddenly woken up in a dream, Meng Khan whispered, "My lord, I wonder if this could be a coincidence. β
Zichuan Xiu also lowered his voice: "It can't be a coincidence, there must be a reason." β
Obviously, there was no third person in the passage, but both of them involuntarily lowered their voices as they spoke, as if they were afraid of alarming some inviolable transcendent being in the Holy Land. Ever since he entered the Holy Land, Shikawa Shu has had a chill in his heart, a sense of fear in the face of an object that he is completely ignorant of. Now, Shikawa Shu really believes that the gods may really exist!
"My lord, you can enter the Holy Land safely, this is the will of heaven! Providence is destined that some people are born to take on important responsibilities, although he himself does not know this! My lord, I can assure you that one day you will be able to accomplish extraordinary deeds, far beyond what you can imagine today. β
Meng Khan's words had a deep meaning, but Zi Chuanxiu couldn't think about it carefully: "Sir, I am now the commander of the army, the commander of the family, and the commander of millions of troops. You don't have to talk about it. β
"Well, this, of course, of course. Although your achievements today are quite extraordinary, your future achievements are even more limitless! On behalf of the Mongolian people, I would like to congratulate you, and I hope that you will achieve hegemony. Don't forget about our people! β
For some reason, Zichuan Xiu always felt that Meng Khan's eyes were a little treacherous. But thousands of clothes are worn, but they don't wear sycophants, knowing that Meng Khan patted his ass for the future throne, Zichuan Xiu still felt very useful. Even he himself felt that there seemed to be a providence in the dark that allowed him to achieve great things. Otherwise, how can you explain that the demons will die when they enter the Holy Land, but they can be safe and sound, and even the Holy Land can even say their surnames?
Really what Khan said. Are you an extraordinary person who is destined to be dependent?
After this fright, the two of them felt a lot closer. After walking for a while, he passed through the same door again, but this time there was no sound saying "welcome", and Meng Khan just put his hand on the door. The whole door was silently closed upwards.
Stepping in, Shikawa Xiu was shocked by the scene in front of him.
In front of him was a huge parking lot, very wide, at least the size of the four training grounds in his barracks, the air was filled with the smell of engine oil and steel, and overhead was a rocky mountain wall, on which hung a huge saucer-shaped lamp, emitting a soft white light. The top of this parking lot is a full thirty or forty meters above the ground. Zi Chuanxiu looked at the saucer-shaped giant lamp overhead. I just felt dizzy for a while.
Inside were a dozen odd-looking steel carts, all oddly parked, with a variety of streamlined shells, wheeled, tracked, and other, with a large boxy tin box with a bracket hanging from it. There were no wheels underneath, and Shikawa Shu couldn't figure out how to move.
What surprised Zi Chuan Xiu the most was a steel instrument that imitated a human shape, which made Zi Chuan Xiu stop in front and watch for fifteen minutes. The entire machine is a giant made of steel, a full three stories high. The giant stood motionless in the middle of the playground with a sword in his right hand, a shield in his left, and a large tubular object hanging from his shoulder. Zichuan Xiu is 1.8 meters tall, but he can't even see the giant's knees, and if he wants to see the giant's head, he can only tilt his head back desperately. The giant's shell was covered with rust and stood silent, but looking at its huge body, Zi Chuanxiu could imagine its awe-inspiring majesty and murderous aura back then.
Zi Chuanxiu counted, in the playground, there were five iron giants, but the one in front of him was the most intact, and the others were either broken hands and legs or their skin was broken.
"My lord, how do you feel after reading this?" Mon Khan asked.
Zi Chuanxiu looked at the giant's head: "This should have been a military base back then. What is placed here is supposed to be the weapons of the gods. β
Meng Khan nodded: "I think so too." β
Although he still led an army engaged with swords and spears, this did not prevent the two generals from having a keen instinct for weapons. Although the things in front of him are not sharp on the outside, the soldiers can feel the murderous and bloody aura that is hidden at the first glance of the weapon.
"It's horrible!" Looking at the three-story tall steel giant, Shikawa Shu said, "Legend has it that the gods have the terrible power to tear apart the blue sky and destroy the stars, but I always thought it was just a legend.
But after reading this, I think there is a good chance that this is true. Such an iron giant, if it is used as a weapon, even a million army will not be able to stop its advance. β
"Your Excellency, you should trust me now, right? This Iron Giant alone is worthy of a kingdom throne! β
Zichuan Xiutou didn't reply: "Fart!" This giant may have been a powerful super weapon back then, but now, the rust is half a foot thick, and it's strange that it can be activated! If it can be used, this iron giant alone will be enough to level the walls of the Demon God Castle, and you won't have to go far and far to exchange some throne with me! β
Meng Khan laughed dryly: "Although I can't find a way to start it for the time being, these weapons are still very valuable for research, maybe scientists can find out the technology of the Age of the Gods from them?" β
Regarding this, Shikawa Xiu does not deny it. He could imagine what kind of sensation the Holy Land would cause once it was made public, and the Academy of Sciences would be crazy about it. The technology of the Age of the Gods, as long as you can learn a little bit of it, it is enough to benefit the entire human race.
After more than an hour of going back and forth around the playground with all kinds of vehicles and equipment, Shikawa Xiu found that in addition to those vehicles and giant weapons, there were more indescribable piles of waste in the corners of the parking lot. From the old pile, he picked up a white fragment and looked at it for a long time, and found that it was a metal he had never seen before, neither gold, nor copper, nor iron, but the texture was hard, but the weight was as light as paper. What surprised him even more was that although it had been so long, there was no sign of rust at all. He tossed and weighed the metal in his hand, and his mind wandered: wouldn't it be better if armor and helmets could be made out of this metal, and cavalrymen could charge with this light and strong armor?
He asked Meng Khan, "Sir, shouldn't this be the remains of the Holy Land?" You say you've spent twenty years researching. But that's all it takes, it won't take twenty years, right? β
"There's something here, please come with me, my lord."
Bypassing the steel giant, Shikawa Xiu found that there was a small door behind the giant, but it was blocked by the giant. Meng Khan opened the small door very easily and led Zi Chuanxiu in.
Inside is a very long corridor, different from the passage that Zichuan Xiu saw when he came in just now, this corridor is very ordinary, similar to the walkway that Zichuan Xiu usually passes, the corridor is very tattered, potholes, there is a musty smell that has not been ventilated for a long time, and it is so dark that you can't see your fingers. Fortunately, Meng Khan had prepared the torches, and the two of them took advantage of the dim light of the torches to move forward one foot at a time.
The aisle is very long, in the dark, Zi Chuan Xiu can't identify the direction, and he doesn't know how many turns he turns, under the light of the torches, Zi Chuan Xiu saw that there are many signs and slogans on the wall of the walkway, to Zi Chuanxiu's surprise, those signs and slogans are actually in human characters, all the way, Zi Chuanxiu saw the "Internal Affairs Group Duty Room of the Sixth Branch of the Southeast Defense Town Guard Office", "The First Field Service Brigade of the Sixth Branch of the Southeast Defense Town Guard Office", "Dormitory Area", "Field Service Second Brigade", "Weapons Storage Room" and other signs, and there are some slogans, due to the passage of time, many of the handwriting is not legible, and only some intermittent words remain: "Defender......
Most loyal...... Target...... Brave...... Duty...... Guarding the ...... of humanity. "Defender, sacrifice Kunlun and sacrifice for ......", "Defender, national sword, human shield...... The Last Warrior ......", "...... Uninhabited...... Hero Defender Warrior ...... Salute! β
Looking at it all the way, Zi Chuanxiu frowned. In the hinterland of this demon race, where no human has set foot for thousands of years, how can there be human writing? What kind of institution is this "Southeast Defense Town Guard"? And what kind of existence is the defender fighters repeatedly mentioned on the slogan?
"Sir, I don't have a very good history, and I probably know that before the Bright Dynasty, mankind had gone through four dynasties, but none of the territories exceeded the east of the Guqi Mountains. Sir, why is there a human character here? β
After a while, Meng Khan's voice came from the darkness: "My lord, the history we know is only a small part. There should be a glorious past in the history of civilization that has been artificially erased. β
The passage was not all the way, and in some sections, the walls of the passage were full of holes, revealing the white rock bottom inside, and the stones and broken rocks blocked the road, and Zichuan Xiu and Meng Khan could only climb over the piles of broken rocks, and both of them were covered in dust and embarrassed. There were some broken metal parts, torn clothes, and miscellaneous items scattered on the rocks, and the light was too dim for Shikawa Shu to make out the small things.
Fortunately, the collapsed passage was not very long, only a dozen meters, and the front was smooth again. The passage extends in all directions, there are many branches and forks, and there are more than a dozen forks and bends, and Zi Chuanxiu has already been dizzy in the dark. At one of the doorways, Meng Khan stopped: "My lord, we have arrived. β
Through the lighting of the torches, Zichuan Xiu saw clearly, and a few words were vaguely written on the black metal door: "Data Storage Room of the Sixth Branch of the Southeast Defense Town's Guard".
