127. Time

The six princes can live to adulthood under the persecution of Emperor Shengyuan, and their scheming methods are naturally not bad. After the throne, he never mentioned the matter of cutting the domain. Because he was the successor appointed by the ghost doctor, even the important ministers who relied on the old and betrayed the old did not dare to embarrass him, but instead helped him and quickly helped him sit on the throne.

Although he is very deep in the city, he is a person who values love and righteousness, and every New Year's Day will send envoys to Liangjiang to give gifts, and give extremely precious treasures to several imperial uncles, but it is rare to eat for young people, what dragon liver and phoenix marrow, mountain and sea delicacies, just go around. Because of this, he is very favored by teenagers, and every time there is a serious natural disaster, he will receive a message from the other party in advance, so as to avoid it. After a long time, his prestige among the people has become more and more prosperous, and he has the reputation of the true dragon son of heaven.

Twenty years after he succeeded to the throne, King Yu died of illness, and the young man disappeared, I don't know whether he died or disappeared into the vast sea of people.

The vicissitudes of life, the changes of time, the torrent of time is moving forward with an unstoppable momentum. The beautiful planet, once surrounded by blue and green, has finally become a barren land, but it has been healed by time and revitalized again. A ship missed the supply station due to the effects of planetary debris and had to land on its former home planet.

"General, the energy minerals of the home planet are not abundant, and there are no energy stones we need, landing here will delay the trip, it is better to fly back to the last supply station." A young man in a lieutenant general's uniform is opening the energy chamber to check.

"Send an explorer to find it. In the Extinction Century, there were three huge planets that hit the parent star, they came from the energy-rich Mata Galaxy, the Magellan Galaxy, and the Andromeda Galaxy, which will definitely leave energy stones in the impact fragments, although not much, but it is enough to support us to return to the capital star. A man in a general's uniform stepped off the ship and stood on the edge of a cliff looking out over the green primeval forest. The home planet, once the most suitable for human habitation, has now become a paradise for all kinds of beasts, mutated plants, and insects, and its danger can at least rank at the forefront of the solar galaxy.

The lieutenant general thought about it too, and immediately released several exploration planes and took out monitors to track them in real time. The rest of the soldiers were busy inspecting various parts of the ship, or going outside to check the environment.

After the planet hit the home star, it left many sinkholes, and most of the energy stones were left in it, and the explorer only flew towards a few nearby sinkholes, and then slowly expanded to other areas. In just half an hour, the monitor sounded a crisp "tick tick", which was a signal to discover the energy reaction.

The lieutenant general stared at the fiery red on the monitor and exclaimed, "The color is so dark, it should be an energy stone above level eight, or even level ten, as long as we get two grams, it is enough for us to fly back to the capital star, not to mention such a large area." Admiral, this may be an energy stone vein, and we have made a windfall! ”

The man took the monitor and looked at it carefully, his eyebrows as cold as a knife edge were not dyed with the slightest joy, "According to the environmental protection law, the home planet is a five-star natural and cultural site, and even if the energy stone vein is discovered, it is strictly forbidden for anyone or any organization to mine it, including my army." ”

"I'm sorry, I got carried away." The lieutenant general looked regretful, "We only need to dig up enough energy stones to fly back to the capital star." ”

"Well, this discovery must not be passed on to the outside world. Just because we don't take it doesn't mean that others won't take it. The man commanded in a deep voice.

As he spoke, the prospector had landed at the bottom of the sinkhole, finding the exact location where the energy was emitted and digging. However, their mechanical arms were blocked by a layer of hard earth's crust, and when they cleared the mud and vegetation outside, they found that it was actually a heavy stone door, carved with all kinds of reliefs, birds and animals, humans and buildings, as if telling an ancient story or depicting a scene from the life of a city.

This does not appear to be a vein, but an ancient ruin. After analyzing this result, the explorer immediately stopped its action and sent the high-definition picture to the monitor. At that end, the man and his subordinates were all stunned, and it took half a minute before they came back to their senses, and then took an airship to the sinkhole at a high speed.

The Extinction Era Yuan destroyed most of the human race, and the survivors spent hundreds of years leaving the devastated home planet, finally settling in the Pegasus Galaxy, and spent another thousand years developing technology and modifying genes to make the originally weak humans one of the most powerful races in the Third Universe. They mingled, married, and merged with life forms from major galaxies, gradually forming a new culture and a new history. But they have never forgotten their home planet for a moment, and they have forgotten the original appearance of human beings.

But everything that proves where they came from has been wiped out by the asteroid-earth impact, and even if they are traced, they can only rely on imagination. There is no limit to imagination, but after all, it cannot restore the truth, and what history needs most is the truth.

There have also been archaeologists who have worked tirelessly to explore the surface of the home planet, hoping to find one or two ruins, but to no avail, and finally return to the Pegasus system with a small number of antiques. It can be said that if anyone can find a relic on the home planet, even if it is just a broken ruin, it will be an extremely great discovery for all mankind. The more modern technology develops, the more people are fascinated by ancient things, which is about the nature of this race.

There is no doubt that the stone gate discovered by the explorer QĂŹ is an ancient ruin, and the flora, plants, humans, and buildings carved on it are very different from the current home planet.

The handsome man studied the relief on the stone door all the way, and his mind was faintly turned. Stir. The subordinates around him discussed babblingly, "This must be an underground palace." ”

"No, no, no, I look like an ancient tomb."

"How did ancient humans look so ugly? You see, the teeth in the mouth are sharper than the Tyrannosaurus rex, and there are people with the heads of cows and horses. Could it be that ancient technology has been developed to the point where it can use gene fusion technology? This is a serious discovery that will surely shock the medical community! ”

"Look at this, is this a person? Why is it only the size of a palm? Round belly. Rolling, but the limbs are very thin and thin, it's disgusting! Fortunately, our genes are optimized, otherwise it would be a tragedy to grow up as an ancestor! ”

"Yes, it's even uglier than the Gyas! Is this discovery really going to be made public? What should I do if I always feel ashamed? ”

"Quiet!" The handsome man couldn't listen anymore, and said coldly, "The news is not allowed to be announced for the time being, and we will talk about it after we check it." "At the end of the day, he sent instructions to the explorer QĂŹ to extract trace elements from the detritus of Shimen in order to analyze the age of the site.

The progress bar went up quickly, but in just two seconds, a number came from the other end - 3400. This result is not precise, and there may be a centuries-old error in between, but even so, it is enough to shock the entire galaxy. What is the concept of a site that is 3,400 years old, that is, older than they expected?

It is said that the universe is as wide as human imagination is, but none of the people here can imagine what the home planet looked like 3,000 years ago and what kind of life the people lived there. It is precisely because I know nowhere that I am more curious, more yearning, and more fascinated.

"Not antiquity, but antiquity. Oh my God, we've found an ancient ruin! No wonder the people on the stone gate look so strange, they haven't evolved yet! One of the soldiers exclaimed, and the inside of the airship exploded.

The handsome man frowned, his mind becoming more and more restless.

The airship landed at the base of the massive sinkhole, and a team of ten people sped to the monument to inspect the surrounding formations with various fluoroscopic instruments. It would be easy to pry open the door, but if the internal structure was damaged, they could not afford to take it seriously, and even a high-ranking and illustrious general would be court-martialed.

"It's strange, there's a wave of energy here that interferes with the fluoroscopy signal, and we can't see what's buried beneath the formation." One of the scouts looked confused.

"What then? Can't open this door yet? The lieutenant general hesitated, "Otherwise, we will notify the archaeological society to take over, shall we?" They are more professional. ”

The handsome man stared at the palm print in the center of the stone gate, looking a little stunned. This palm print is about the only thing close to modern humans, its shape is very normal, neither cow hooves, horse hooves, skeletal hands, nor giant palms the size of a fan, it is very small, five fingers are slender and graceful, if you look closely, there seem to be faint lines on the inside, as if rubbed from some ancient human.

The man couldn't help but start imagining what this person looked like, how old he was, whether he was male or female, but he was interrupted by his subordinates' words and said coldly, "No one is allowed to reveal the news without my order." ”

"Yes!" The remaining nine people habitually stood upright and bowed.

The man couldn't help but hang his big palm above the small palm print, imagining that he was celebrating with someone in ancient times, and there was an inexplicable throbbing in his heart. Several subordinates also showed expressions of interest and teased, "This palm print is very beautiful, not at all like those strange humans on the door." General, let me touch it too, maybe this is left by an old ancestor. ”

"Let me touch it too. Touch! Everyone rushed up.

The man didn't want others to touch the mark, but he couldn't tell why, so he changed the suspension to press. Press, completely cover the palm print. The man's mental power is very strong, and he leaks it inadvertently. Out of a trace, it was actually absorbed by the palm and then introduced into the mechanism, so that the stone door slowly opened. The old creaking sound seemed to come from 3,000 years ago, and they were in awe.

When the stone door was fully opened, it revealed a pitch-black passage that stretched down as if there was no end. The man took up his weapon and stepped in first, and the other nine immediately followed. In ancient times, the technology was still very backward, so they didn't have to worry about the mechanisms in the dungeon at all, even if they heard the sound of the stone gate closing quickly, they didn't panic, and if they had to, they could always blast a tunnel out.

After descending one step after another, walking through one cave after another, the temperature that was still warm as spring slowly became bitterly cold, but fortunately the military uniforms they wore had the function of maintaining body temperature, otherwise they would have frozen to death. Down to the eighteenth cave, there is finally a magnificent palace in front, the top of the hall is inlaid with night pearls, even if three thousand years have passed, it is still dazzling.

"General, the energy reaction in the palace is very strong, and the visual inspection has reached level ten!" A soldier raised a detector in his hand, which was screaming more and more rapidly, showing a blood-like redness.

No matter what is stored in the palace, it must belong to the tenth level of energy. The Interstellar Energy Organization divides minerals into ten grades according to the size of energy storage. The first to third class are the most common and the most abundant, and most of them are used for people's livelihood; Class 4 to 6 are relatively scarce and are mainly used in industry; Grades 7 to 8 are extremely rare, most of them are used for the military, and a small part is preserved as energy reserves; The ninth and tenth are the legendary existence zĂ i, which many people have never seen in their lives.

Of course, there are also a small number of top families who have level 9 or 10 energy mines, but without exception, the output is very low, only for the daily needs of one or two super mechas. The handsome man in front of him is from the Ji family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is said that his family tree can be traced back to ancient times, and I don't know if it's true or not. But what is certain is that the Ji family's heritage is very strong, even far more than the royal family, and the ninth- and tenth-level veins in their hands are not many, but they are also quite few.

Therefore, when everyone was excited, the man was extremely calm, and used the energy gun to sweep away the withered thorns that covered the entire ground, and walked steadily towards the palace.

The door of the temple was still closed, and a palm print was engraved on it, and the man concocted it in the same way, and entered the inner hall along the way, and then was stunned by the golden and brilliant scene in front of him. The inner sanctum is made of white marble and gold, and each relief is inlaid with a night pearl at the confluence of the carving, which looks sparkling and dazzling. In modern times, these things were far less valuable than a third-class energy stone, but in ancient times, they could only be used by people at the pinnacle of power. This has been confirmed by several archaeologists, and definite evidence has been found.

Ancient humans loved metals such as gold, silver, and bronze, as well as treasures such as pearls, jade, and agate, but they would only belong to the most powerful people, no different from modern society. In other words, it is very likely that this underground palace belonged to a certain emperor in ancient times.

"We, we seem to have found a lost dynasty! This must be the palace of a great king! You see, that's the totem of the Chinese royal family - the dragon! The lieutenant general pointed to the vivid relief on the column and exclaimed.

The handsome man took a closer look and walked deeper, then his breath stopped. Bypassing the pillars and screens, two huge crystal coffins sat side by side in the deepest part of the palace, one of which was empty, the other filled with an amber transparent liquid, and it seemed that a corpse was floating and sinking inside.

Corpse? How can it be? More than 3,400 years have passed, and even the best anti-corrosion technology has long since turned into ashes, not to mention being soaked in liquid? The man took two quick steps, easily jumped up the five-meter-high altar, and looked into the coffin......

Poof, poof, poof, whose heart is beating violently? The man covered his left chest, only to feel a buzzing in his ears, and then his mind went blank. The sight in front of him was obviously too much for him to expect, and he lost the ability to think in an instant. Floating in the amber liquid was not a corpse that had crumbled into a skeleton, but a sleeping teenager. The coffin was not sealed, not even a lid, but the boy was intact and full of life.

He has pink and soft lips like flower petals, smooth jade skin with a shimmering glow, eyebrows and eyes that are not delicate or inappropriate, and his appearance has never been genetically recombinantly screened and sculpted, but it is better than most modern people. His slender ten fingers were gently clasped and placed on his abdomen, and he was wearing a light white robe, which was almost transparent under the soaking of liquid, revealing the most private. Secret place. His ankle-length, thick black hair rippled up and down the waves, setting off the white jade-like boy more and more like a dream.

Even the flowers blooming in the water are not as bright and beautiful as one-ten-thousandth of his brilliance and beauty.

The man's breathing became heavier and heavier, his heartbeat became more and more disordered, and he couldn't help but reach out his hand to touch the young man's sleeping face, but was interrupted by the exclamation of his subordinates, "God! Here's a well-preserved corpse! The coffin was not sealed, nor was it embalmed, I don't know how the ancient humans did it! ”

"Oh my God! This is the ancient humans? So beautiful! It's not like the relief on the stone door at all! Who is he, the owner of this palace? Another man climbed up and amazed.

Everyone jumped onto the altar and circled the coffin, their eyes glowing. The intoxicated man sobered up instantly, and then showed a hidden angry expression, and used his mental power to pull the flowers on the other side of the water to float slowly, covering the most secret and sexual of the young man. The part of the sense. His appearance is too criminal, even if the man is a well-known ascetic male god in the empire, he can't help but have a physiological reaction.

"Test his breathing and heartbeat." He covered Gao Gao with the hem of his military uniform. Up the crotch. At the end, he half-knelt on the ground and looked in stunned. His gaze was reluctant to leave the boy, even for a second, and even the bubbles stuck to his thick eyelashes could be looked at again and again.

How could such a healthy complexion, such a vivid and beautiful face, be a corpse? He must have fallen asleep, and perhaps the next moment he would open his eyes, revealing black and white pupils that were crystal clear. The man's thoughts were cranky, and his mind was fluctuating.

A soldier took out a life detector, scanned it at the coffin, and then shook his head in disappointment, "General, this is indeed a corpse, no breathing and no heartbeat. "Come to think of it, how could a stone door that had been closed for more than 3,000 years have inexplicably appeared a living person still lying in a coffin.

"These liquids store a lot of energy, according to the instrument, it is at least equal to level 10 energy, no wonder the corpse has not decomposed after more than 3,000 years." The Scout sucks out a drop of liquid with the instrument and examines it, and finally looks agitated. Ancient human beings had such profound wisdom and good luck against the sky that they could even find a tenth-level energy liquid. This king must have been a remarkable figure in his time, otherwise he would never have built such a magnificent and mysterious palace to house his body.

"Ancient humans must have divided their rights according to their appearance, you see, the characters on this wall are uglier than the other, and the corpses in the coffin are fundamentally different from heaven and earth!" A soldier leans on the wall behind the coffin and studies it carefully.

The man was so disappointed that he suddenly spit out the breath he had held for a long time, and he actually stabbed his chest painfully. How could a teenager be a corpse? He didn't want to believe it, but he had to believe it, and he took the life detector and checked it several times, and finally gave up.

"General, there are palm prints on this wall, and there should be a palace room, come and take a look!"

"That's right, it's indeed a dark room, and the energy fluctuations inside are not small, at least above level eight." The Scout shouted in surprise.

The man knelt beside the coffin and stared at the boy as if he hadn't heard anything, and waited for his subordinates to jump up and shake their shoulders before closing his eyes and walking silently towards the stone wall. These walls are very strange and can only be opened by inputting his mental power, but because he has an SSS-level physique and spiritual power, it is not surprising that he can open the ancient ruins.

Ancient things often contain. With a powerful and mysterious power, non-strong people can't get it, maybe this is the "mandate of heaven" as the old saying goes, and others can't envy it.

The stone wall slowly opened under the urging of his mental power, revealing a room full of gold, silver and jewelry. Everyone used their hands to cover their faces to ease up, otherwise they would definitely be blinded by the colorful treasure light. However, thousands of years later, the pursuit of wealth has changed dramatically, energy has become the most important thing, and jewelry made of high-quality energy stones is considered a luxury, which is just a worthless decoration on the outside.

Everyone searched repeatedly with the detector, and finally turned out a small box from the bottom, judging from the rapid prompt sound and the crimson color, it should be a high-grade energy stone inside. But when it was opened, there were many yellow notes with vermilion writing written on them, and there were also blank notes underneath, as well as a few jars of insect specimens, a few pitch-black crystals, a few carved wooden dolls, and a dagger.

The man did not allow his subordinates to touch the box without permission, and there was no doubt that it was a relic belonging to the teenager. He silently said sorry in his heart, and then took out his things and counted them. The scout scanned them one by one with the detector and said in shock, "General, these things contain . . . with a huge amount of energy. The energy level of these written notes is level eight, the ones who don't write are level five, the insect specimens range from level three to eight, the wood carving puppets are level seven, the dagger is level seven, and these black crystals are level nine to ten! ”

Except for the unknown type of black crystal, the rest of the things are the most ordinary objects, but they contain a greater amount of energy than energy ore, which is simply unseen and unheard of. But when they thought of the mystery of ancient humans, they were quickly relieved. As long as you bring things back to study, sooner or later you will be able to crack the secrets of the ancients.

In fact, they missed the largest amount of energy, that is, the boy sleeping in the crystal coffin, because of the amber liquid, it was easy to blind the past. But the man clearly didn't intend to take any of the things with him, he put them back in the box as they were, and said in a deep voice, "These are antiquities, we can't use them to recharge the ship, the king's palace is where they belong." ”

Several soldiers were ashamed by the general's righteous words, and walked outside in pain, and saw him pointing to the crystal coffin, and said categorically, "Take him away!" ”

Soldier, what is the king's palace that the "......" said is the king's palace?
