Shang Bufan came to the world behind the steel gate and looked around for the first time. First of all, there is the steel gate, which has a lot of bearing gears and many holes, and I don't know what it is for.

On both sides of the door, there are guard-like spaces with stone benches and tables. It seems that this is definitely a military base, and with such a tight defense, which army can break in? This gate alone will not be able to open for a while without the cooperation of a large number of internal traitors.

Out of the doorway, what appeared in the eyes of the three people was a space of 100 meters, more than 20 meters high, and the top of the cave was inlaid with night pearls the size of adult fists, and the yellow light they saw outside was emitted by these night pearls.

Shang Ling'er smacked his lips and said: "How many night pearls are this? I think there are no less than twenty night pearls in the steel gate and this square within a radius of 100 meters, what a big deal, if the young master gets these back, he will definitely make a fortune in Shui Lanxing." ”

Shang Bufan couldn't help but nodded, this is too shocking, the Night Pearl is just a legendary item, here they have seen so much, so can they imagine how many are in this ruin? I was very excited to think about it.

calmed the shock and joy in his heart, Shang Bufan saw the opposite side of the hundred-meter square square, where there was a winding step more than ten meters wide, this class did not know, anyway, it was winding upward, and there was a bend and did not know the end.

The three of them walked through the square and up the stone staircase, and if they looked closely, they could see that there were flower pots on both sides of each staircase, and there was dirt in them, which should have been planted with flowers and plants, but now there was only a little moss and the like.

Along the staircase, Shang Bufan couldn't help but sigh, what a great project, in this mountainside to create such a place, just this winding staircase is admirable.

After a short turn, the stone walls on both sides of the staircase were carved with this pattern, and many of the animals on the pattern were the same as those on the gate outside.

Shang Bufan began to have an occupational disease attack, he always had to study such a scene when he saw the archaeology, he began to browse one picture after another, and walked to the end of the staircase passage, he didn't understand what he was talking about, including the picture of the worship of the gods, the picture of charging into the formation, the picture of the people living and working in peace and contentment, and the picture of the emperor going to court.

These pictures are scattered and cannot be linked at all, and I don't know what the person in charge of carving these things thought at the time. Shang Bufan couldn't help but complain in his heart, this designer should be pulled out and slaughtered, there is no level at all.

When Shang Bufan was still complaining about this designer, Shang Ling'er and Qin Liangyu were already stunned by the scenery in front of them. Shang Ling'er stammered: "Less, less, young master, you, you hurry, look at it." ”

Hearing Shang Ling'er's stammering voice, Shang Bufan was still thinking about what made Shang Ling'er lose his temper so much, and when he turned around and looked over, he was also shocked, incredible, majestic, and not enough to praise here.

What did Shang Bufan and the three of them see?

The first thing that comes into view is a tall archway, this archway is twenty or thirty meters high, one hundred meters wide, the top of the archway is carved with the same animal as the steel door outside, the image of this animal is particularly prominent here, this should be the totem that the original owner of this ruins believes, such as the existence of the Chinese dragon.

Seeing the complete beast form, Shang Bufan, as an excellent archaeologist, suddenly recalled what this carved totem was.

So Shang Bufan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I can't imagine that the legendary divine beast in Chinese history is the totem of faith here, and I don't know if this divine beast really exists." ”

When Qin Liangyu and Shang Ling'er heard Shang Bufan's words, they all looked at Shang Bufan and waited for the following. Shang Bufan continued: "This is the legendary divine beast Lu Duan, similar to the Qilin, with a corner on his head, Lu Duan is said to be able to travel 18,000 miles a day, speak four languages, and only accompany Ming Jun, specially designed for the wise emperor to pass on the book escort. Sending good wishes and prayers, looking forward to the peace of the country, the prosperity of life, the prosperity of the world, and the abundance of life. ”

"The shape of the end that I know: rhino horns, lion body, dragon back, bear claws, fish scales, ox tail, is very consistent with the carving you see. Luduan and Qilin are a pair of one-horned brothers popular in officialdom and among the people, they symbolize fairness and impartiality in law enforcement, and in the people, they symbolize auspiciousness and good luck. ”

Shang Ling'er: "It seems that this ruin is not small, maybe it is an hour of dynasty or civilization." ”

Qin Liangyu: "Looking at the architectural pattern here, I also feel this way. ”

Shang Bufan smiled silently, continued to look down, hung in the middle of the archway with a huge plaque, in fact, it is integrated with the archway, made into a delicate plaque, written on it three gilded characters - Qi Xi City, the font is vigorous and powerful.

Looking down is five thick two or three meters, carved beams and painted archway pillars, its carving level is quite high, Shang Bufan walked up to grope for a while, can't help but admire the carving of the pen force, very round without the slightest sense of discomfort.

Inside the archway is a huge building complex, this space exudes a faint halo under the illumination of the night pearl inlaid with a height of 100 meters, which looks very magnificent. The buildings are very distinctive, as if carved from bluestone, and most of them are mainly dark blue.

The city is five kilometers long and five kilometers wide, and in the center is a palace eight or nine meters above the surrounding buildings. The palace is resplendent and is the only other building in this huge complex, like an ancient royal palace.

From the archway side, if you want to enter this palace, you need to step on the white and flawless white jade stairs, the white jade stairs are divided on both sides, in the middle is a huge overall carving that presents forty-five degrees, the carving is the end of the Luduan, the two eyes of the end of the Lu are the size of the night pearl, set off the end of the glittering spirit.

This city without walls brought an incomparable shock to Shang Bufan and the three of them, and Shang Bufan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "We found incredible ruins not long after we came to the Tianfeng Continent, seeing that this place is so magnificent and so hidden, maybe it is the last place of refuge." ”

Shang Ling'er: "That means that there is a great deal of wealth hidden here, as long as we find these, won't we struggle for many years in the Tianfeng Continent?"

Shang Bufan nodded and then shook his head and said, "You can say that, but you can't be happy too early, even if there is earth-shattering wealth here." Have you ever wondered how powerful a country can build such a magnificent city here?"

"You don't have to think about it to know that the strength is definitely extremely strong, so why did they fall to this point? What kind of force, or master, can control all this? If we want to unify the Tianfeng Continent, will we meet them?"

"If we don't dig out the hidden things behind this, we don't have the strength to resist, so when the time comes, we can only hide in the stone bead space, waiting for our cultivation to be able to resist before we can be born again, and the experience it takes at that time is not so simple. ”

Shang Ling'er and Qin Liangyu nodded in agreement, yes, if the gap is not big, it is possible to defeat the other party through stratagem and other means, if the gap is too big, then you can only be a man with your tail between your legs, at this time, it is not a heroic thing that can be solved, and a senseless sacrifice is a stupid act.

Don't talk about this anymore, it's too early to talk about it, Shang Bufan took the two girls to the palace in the middle. Along the way, the three of them entered the house on the side of the road to investigate, but found nothing.

It is estimated that the time is too long, the dust here is not satisfied, many things have been weathered, in this closed environment can only see the outline of those living utensils, as soon as you touch it immediately turned to ashes, no useful information can be found, it is a pity.

In this way, several buildings were investigated, and the situation was the same, and in the end, the three of them stopped exploring, and continued to explore, and the estimated result was the same, so the three of them rushed directly to the palace in the middle.

There was no time for the fire to burn, and the three of them came to the square in front of the white jade steps, this square is not big, with a radius of two hundred meters, and there is a bluestone polished in the center of the square, a round stone pillar that is one meter square.

The stone pillar is about seventy or eighty centimeters high, and on top of it is a tray made of white jade, on which is placed a crystal clear bead, which is not made of what material, like a glass ball.

This thing is very abrupt to be placed here, Shang Bufan and the three of you, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what this thing is, what can be placed here, it can't be simply shaken, you must know that this is the Imperial City Square, the closest place to the palace, and the things placed can be mortal, if this is the case, wouldn't it be ridiculous?

Shang Bufan had the experience of crossing by touching randomly, and at this moment he didn't dare to touch this fist-sized bead easily, he didn't know what would happen if he touched it, at this moment he seemed a little hesitant, he really had the mentality of being bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope.

Shang Ling'er didn't have that kind of scruples, she put her hand up very curiously, and suddenly the beads changed, shooting out different colors of light. This movement startled Shang Ling'er, and immediately let go of his hand, withdrew a meter away, and stared at the bead vigilantly.

Shang Bufan was also confused by this strange scene, and Qin Liangyu came to Shang Ling'er's side and said with concern: "Sister Ling'er, are you okay?" ”

Shang Ling'er shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I was scared just now." I put my hand on the bead and I didn't feel anything other than the cold feeling, but it suddenly lit up and I don't know what was going on. ”

Shang Bufan touched his chin with his right hand, looked down at the bead, circled around the bead, and by the way, he probed the situation around again, and found nothing strange, so he fell into contemplation for a while.

Suddenly, Shang Bufan had a flash of inspiration and said: "I may know what this thing is, if it is really that thing, we have really picked up a treasure, with this thing, it will be much easier for us to cultivate peripheral talents in the future." ”

Shang Ling'er came to Shang Bufan's side and asked, "Young Master, do you know what this is?"

Qin Liangyu also looked at Shang Bufan in puzzlement, Shang Bufan smiled and said: "If I guess correctly, this thing is used to test cultivation talent, you look at the position of it, plus the light that this bead just emitted, I dare not say that it is 100% accurate, eighty or ninety is still possible." ”
