Chapter 107: The Dungeon
The three of them walked forward, the light of this fire fold was too small, and everyone couldn't see the way forward, Qi Yan only felt that his internal breath was much more stable after taking these few steps, and he was faintly getting stronger and stronger, and he felt that his strength had recovered a little. As soon as Qi Yan stretched out his hand, a flame was born from his palm, and he could use this fire technique?
"Master, you still don't want to waste your internal strength. ”
"It's okay, you can't last long like that, so let's put out the fire. ”
Yue Qianlong extinguished the fire as she said, and within a moment she could smell a hint of stale pungency, the smell of sulfur. Yue Qianlong hurriedly searched for this breath, and by the firelight she saw a groove.
"Master, this thing can be ignited. ”
Qi Yan ignited the fire, and sure enough, the black granular thing was ignited all the way down, and this line of fire stretched for hundreds of miles. So far, the three of them have seen the appearance of this city clearly, among which the towers are towering, and there is a deep pool with a river, Su Jue is right, this is indeed an underground city, and the shape and scale are much larger than the Mengchi Town on the ground. However, the architectural style of this underground city is completely different from that of Mengchi Town, and it looks a bit like the customs of the Northern Regions. The three of them walked down the stairs, the dust here was already very thick, and in Qi Yan's experience, no one had been here for at least tens of thousands of years. But in the dark, Qi Yan looked at these buildings and felt familiar.
Inadvertently, Su Jue saw a few nuts scattered on the ground, he bent down, and saw a bamboo basket in front of him filled with a bag of wild walnuts, as well as pine nuts and some chestnuts. Judging from the surrounding displays, this should be a grain store.
"It was inhabited in the past, and it was abundant, but these things could not be cultivated in today's western Xinjiang. ”
"That's right," Qi Yan looked at the remnants on the ground and said, "I heard that the Western Xinjiang before was not a land full of yellow sand, but a blessed land with abundant water and grass, just like the Central Plains today. ”
"Before?"
"Well, it is said that it was during the flood. ”
"Flood famine?" Yue Qianlong looked at the palace in front of him with a surprised face, and said, "You said that this dungeon existed during the flood famine? ”
"That's right, and at that time, it shouldn't have been underground. ”
"At that time, the demon clan lived in the Nine Heavens, and only the witch clan and the human race had the ability to build such a large city in the mortal world. ”
Qi Yan looked around and said, "This should not be the territory of the Wu Clan, but belongs to the Terran Clan. ”
Qi Yan confessed to Yue Qianlong in the streamer path before that he was the human emperor Fuxi, so what he said must be right.
"Master, what do you think is going on here?"
"It's either war or disaster. ”
"War?" Su Jue responded, "If it is a war, it is impossible for the buildings here to be preserved so intact, and if it is replaced by a disaster, I think it can only be a plague." ”
Yes, everything in this city is intact except for some dust, which would not be the case with any natural disaster. The three of them searched around the neighborhood again, but did not find any corpses, if this was really the city of the Honghuang Dynasty as Qi Yan said, the bones would have long been ashes.
"You say, how big is this city? Looking at it like this, I think it's going to catch up with Mirage City, even in the era of the Flood Waste, its status is certainly not ordinary. ”
Su Jue also agreed, and the human race was suppressed by the demon and witch clans in the flood era, and it was really rare to spend money to build such a big city. The three of them walked around the city for more than half an hour, where inns, houses, grain shops, material stores, etc., and even a natural lake for people to enjoy. They counted, and the most in this city were armory shops and blacksmith shops, and in addition to the outer city walls, there were four inner city walls, which could be said to be the most well-guarded place Su Jue had ever seen.
"It seems that the city is indeed at war. ”
"Even in war, the lord of this city should be at an advantage. ”
Yue Qianlong walked to the lake, and immediately bowed a handful of water and sent it to his mouth.
"What are you doing?" Su Jue said and reached over, almost slapping Yue Qianlong in the mouth.
"Drink water. ”
"Nonsense! We don't know what the situation is going on here, what kind of water are you drinking?"
"Don't worry, this water is not poisonous," Qi Yan had an extra silver needle in his hand, and the needle did not turn black, "This water source is hidden so deep underground, no wonder the people in the town can't dig it." ”
"Even if it's not poisonous, it's not necessarily drinkable if it's been in the ground for many years. ”
"Chitaki, you don't have to meddle, I was born in Mengchi Town, so let me try the water here. Qi Yan took several large sips, and then filled a full water bladder, "I have made a note of the location, we just need to let them dig a well in this position after we go up." ”
After Qi Yan finished speaking, his steps were not in the direction of going back.
"Master, are you going to go inside?"
"Now that we're here, we have to find out what kind of place this city is. Qi Yan faintly felt that what he wanted was here, because every time he stayed here, his skills would be stronger, and there was something here that was in harmony with him.
"Master, look at the highest place over there, is there something glowing?"
The two of them looked in the direction that Yue Qianlong was pointing, and sure enough, there were faint blue fireflies flickering there.
"Let's go there. ”
Getting closer and closer, Su Jue struggled to move forward, and his steps became heavier and heavier, and then this heaviness was like a stone hammer, hitting his heart one by one, making him breathless. He could feel that it was the waters of the Nightmare Pond surging in his body, and they were resisting the direction that Yue Chitaki was going. But what made him wonder was why he also felt a strong nightmare pond aura on Yue Qianlong's body, but that person was not abnormal at all at this time? Could it be that he was wrong, wasn't Yue Qianlong from the nightmare pool?
The three of them finally reached the high place, which was more solemn than the previous walk through the Agricultural Bank card*, and the central pillar was extremely tall and radiating a faint and clear light. Around it are five unusually large sarcophagi.
"Is this a mausoleum?" Yue Qianlong couldn't help but think of the scene in the Nuwa Divine Realm, where although they saw a wisp of Fu Xi's remnant soul, but never found Fu Xi's body, would he be in one of the five coffins? She looked at the inscription on the coffin, which was the ancient script of the human race in the Honghuang era, although she had seen it in the Nuwa Divine Realm, but she didn't recognize it much, so she could only vaguely read: "There are many birds and beasts...... What, is for the ...... of cypress"
"Bai Yi, this coffin is engraved with the deeds of Bai Huang. ”
"Bai Huang?"
Qi Yan explained: "Emperor Bai was one of the nine ministers of Fuxi, and at that time, Fuxi ordered Gonggong to be the prime minister, and Emperor Bai was the lower minister. ”
So, in this coffin are Fuxi's courtiers?
Qi Yan looked at the other four coffins and said, "These are Haoying, Li Lu, Huxu, and Kunwu, and among the nine ministers, Gonggong, Zhu Xiang, Ge Tian, and Yin Kang are missing. ”
"Do you know the ancient script of the Terrans?"
Facing Su Jue's questioning eyes, Qi Yan only said: "Taihua Mountain is rich in the world's ancient scrolls, what's so strange about what I can recognize?"
"The use of these characters was at least tens of thousands of years ago, and the Taihua Mountain Founding School was less than a thousand years old, how could there be a collection of books about these ancient characters? ”
"Su Jue, what do you want to say?"
"What is the relationship between you and Fuxi?"
He still asked, and at this time, Qi Yan no longer concealed it, "I am a descendant of Fuxi, and my blood flows through my body." ”
Descendants of Fuxi? Su Jue has always had an unknown thing before, that Su Lingxi only obeys the orders of the Great Sect to Dip the Candle, and the only thing that the Candle Dip Candle cares about is the life and death of the Wu Clan, with her temperament, she will not let Su Ling Rhino out of the city to escort herself. Though the candle has never been coerced against him,
But Su Jue understood that the man must be using himself to unlock the seal of Buri City, but he couldn't figure out what the connection was between Taihua Mountain, the Northern Regions Dynasty, and Yue Qianlong. But since Qi Yan is a descendant of Fuxi, all this is clear.
It has always been rumored in the world that a person with Fuxi bloodline has mastered the lifeblood of the world, and can even make the wind and clouds change color, which should be the reason why Gongsun Ling did everything possible to rescue Qi Yan from the Taihua Secret Realm. Qi Yan, he must be the one who both the Northern Regions and the Buri City have to strive for, but at present, it seems that the Northern Regions have the advantage, and Qi Yan is now committed to the Ning Palace's Mansion to listen to Gongsun Ling's orders, so what method will the Buri City use to win him away? or...... Su Jue suddenly had an idea, they didn't need to win over at all, if the purpose of the candle dipping and Gongsun Ling were the same, why bother to dip the candle?
In this way, Su Jue also suddenly understood, why Su Lingxi happened to appear in the Pei family's courtyard so soon, she must be secretly observing Qi Yan's movements, and when she proposed to let her kill Taihua's disciples to blame Qi Yan, Su Lingxi agreed so easily, just because her proposal was in her arms.
The Wu Clan, the City of the Moon, the Dipping Candle, and the Su Lingxi He also underestimated it, and he thought that Su Lingxi was full of promises because of his friendship.
"Jue, what are you thinking? Jue-"
"Huh?"
Yue Qianlong pushed his shoulder, "What's wrong with you?
"Nothing. ”
"Su Jue, I know that you will not be calm after learning my identity, why should you hide it?"
"I just understood Gongsun Ling's motive for some painstaking efforts, and I didn't mean anything else, whether you are a descendant of Fuxi or not, you are always the same to me Su Jue. ”
Looking at this person's cold face, Qi Yan also believed it.
"Master, do we still have to go to the back? ”
"Not necessarily. ”
"Then we'll go back?"
Qi Yan raised his hand and stroked the carvings on the coffin, and said, "Open the coffin." ”
