Chapter 11: The Remains of the Ancients

Walking on the white jade, Fang Xingchen vaguely heard a beast roar. When he looked down, he found that he was stepping on a huge carving of a strange beast, its appearance was quite strange, with a tiger body and a human face, nine heads around his neck, eyes like copper bells, and angry eyes.

"What kind of creature is this, with nine heads and nine human faces, could it be an ancient fierce beast?" Such a strange animal, Fang Xingchen could hardly imagine whether it really existed.

If the carving of the beast just now looks weird, the carving of the beast at the moment is even more interesting. Its appearance is the opposite of the one in front, with a tiger body and a human face, and nine tails on the hips.

The two alien beasts are basically the same kind of creatures except for their special heads and tails.

"Roar~"

Fang Xingchen lingered on the second carving for a moment, and then heard a deafening beast roar again, its sound so majestic that the surrounding fog was shaken and rolled in all directions.

"Hmph~ It's just a carving~" Although the beast roar and the rolling changes of the mist were very real, they still couldn't shake Fang Xingchen's mind.

Even if Fang Xingchen couldn't explain all kinds of strange phenomena for the time being, he wouldn't blindly recognize and mislead himself.

After stepping through the carvings of the two strange beasts, Fang Xingchen finally stood in front of the long-awaited giant white jade palace. Looking up, the two huge stone doors of the palace are tightly closed, and the left and right stone doors are carved with animal patterns.

When viewed together, the two stone doors resemble a human, with a leopard's tail and tiger teeth, and a third horizontal eye on its forehead. Although this horizontal eye is split in two by two stone doors, it is still lifelike.

Just as Fang Xingchen was observing the stone gate, this lifelike horizontal eye suddenly moved. Its gaze was intertwined with Fang Xingchen's, as if it was observing Fang Xingchen. However, in Fang Xingchen's pupils, a figure suddenly flashed, facing the horizontal eye above the stone gate.

"What are you looking at?" In fact, the movement of this horizontal eye had long been noticed by Fang Xingchen.

As soon as Fang Xingchen said this, the horizontal eyes on the stone door immediately closed as if he was frightened. At the moment when the horizontal eyes closed, the stone door roared, opening a gap more than a foot wide.

"I'm fierce~" Fang Xingchen didn't expect his very casual words, so he opened two huge stone doors. Originally, what Fang Xingchen thought was to push open the stone door with both hands and go in directly.

However, these two stone doors also weigh 10,000 catties, and even if they use their special abilities, Fang Xingchen is not completely sure that they will be able to push them open.

Through the gap in the stone door more than a foot wide, Fang Xingchen vaguely saw the colorful light flashing inside the palace, if Fang Xingchen guessed correctly, these colorful lights should be the effect of the refraction of the colorful glazed tiles on the roof of the palace.

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Xingchen still walked in through the crack in the stone door.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~"

With Fang Xingchen's entry, the gap in this stone door more than a foot wide closed instantly, and with Fang Xingchen's reaction speed, it was completely possible to exit immediately, but Fang Xingchen did not do so.

"Pretending to be a god and playing ghosts~ It seems that the ancient ancestors were also boring, and they actually built such a mechanism to tease people~" This kind of stone gate mechanism, Fang Xingchen has seen it in archaeological books, and it is mostly used to scare tomb robbers.

"It's not good~ careless~ this door can't be pushed open from the inside~" Although the stone gate of the mechanism did not scare Fang Xingchen, it made the inexperienced Fang Xingchen forget that most of these mechanisms are irreversible.

"Past~Past~" Just when Fang Xingchen was annoyed, he remembered that gentle voice in his mind~

"You can't say a few more words, forget it~ Let's go forward and take a look~" Following the voice in his head, Fang Xingchen turned around and inspected the entire palace.

As far as the eye can see, the entire palace is still shrouded in fog, and the fog on the ground is so thick that you can't even see your feet clearly. However, the space above the waist is relatively thin in fog, and the basic structure of the entire palace can be observed. In fact, the internal structure of the whole palace is not complicated, a circle of square white jade beams, which are combined with the outer palace wall around them, and two vertical beams in the middle are supported by three white jade pillars. If you look closely, you will see that all the structures inside the palace are built in one piece, without any joints.

Looking at the walls and ground around the palace, they are all made of white jade, as if the entire giant palace is carved from a huge piece of white jade, without any traces of construction.

With the colorful light refracted from the top of the palace, Fang Xingchen saw that two steps in front of the white jade ground of the palace, there was a deep pit with a diameter of three feet. Fang Xingchen approached and bent down to take a closer look, and found that the surface of the pit was very smooth, as if it had been instantly penetrated by some sharp weapon. When Fang Xingchen looked up, he found that there was also a hole in the size of a three-foot hole on the top of the palace.

"It must be from the sky, directly penetrating down. What kind of force can penetrate such a hard glazed tile and white jade ground?Could it be that the cliff pits outside are also pierced by this force?" Fang Xingchen noticed some fragments of colorful glazed tiles and white jade on the ground, as soon as his hand touched the fragments, a deep wound was cut, one can imagine how terrifying the tenacity of these fragments was.

A moment later, Fang Xingchen's wound had completely healed. After a few minutes, Fang Xingchen's hand could no longer see the scar, if it was seen by Professor Sun and his party, Fang Xingchen would definitely be regarded as an anomaly, but now that Fang Xingchen was alone, he was not only seen by others.

Because the pit was shrouded in fog, it was impossible to see what was going on. All Fang Xingchen gave up his research on the pit and instead squatted down, looking for valuable discoveries in the mist.

However, the misty space below the waist was very rich, and the colorful light refracted by the colorful glazed tiles lingered in the mist for a long time, seriously disturbing Fang Xingchen's line of sight.

In order to prevent accidentally stepping into the mechanism, Fang Xingchen took one step at a time and slowly groped forward.

In Fang Xingchen's careful progress, he found that the white jade floor of the entire palace was damaged, and there were messy broken jade stones everywhere, and even many crystal clear gems appeared, as well as some special white jade fragments with black lines. And these special pieces of white jade, if you look closely, look like they have been broken. And the pieces scattered around it, if put together, there is a possibility of piecing them together.

"It's all pieces, and some worthless gems. "The material of the gemstone, Fang Xingchen can recognize it at a glance, it is basically the same as the current gemstone material, and it has no value.

"No~ These pieces of white jade with black lines really want to be the same as the star pattern texture material on the white jade square~ Could it be that the device that activated the Five Elements Array is near here~" With such a valuable discovery, Fang Xingchen suddenly cheered up and continued to grope forward.

"Bump~"

"It really hurts~What's the situation~" Fang Xingchen, who was groping forward along a pile of jade fragments, just moved a step, and his head hit the air in the empty mist.

"It's really possible~ The ancients have built an invisible wall~" With his head pretended like this, Fang Xingchen immediately reached forward, and a solid invisible wall blocked Fang Xingchen's hand.

"You're still sucking your hands~ No, how did you become a woman's hand~ Could it be her~" Fang Xingchen was about to withdraw his arm, but found that his palm was sucked against the wall. Not only that, but even his hand was deformed, turning into a woman's slender white jade hand.

I saw this slender white jade hand clinging to the invisible wall, dragging Fang Xingchen along the wall to the central position. Immediately afterwards, the slender white jade hand seeped into the invisible wall, and the whole hand looked as if it had disappeared.

With his own touch, Fang Xingchen felt that his palm touched an object like an operating panel inside the wall, and then the invisible wall in front of him disappeared, and Fang Xingchen's slender jade hand was resting on a broken stone platform like a black grinding plate. In front of the broken stone platform sat a dry skeleton as white as jade, and its body was draped in a white shirt, which must have been extremely stunning before his death.

Fang Xingchen looked at the white jade withered bone curiously, and was about to step forward to take a closer look. But he was dragged directly by his slender jade hand to the white jade dry bones, and gently stroked the head that had turned into a white jade skeleton, completely ignoring Fang Xingchen's existence. After touching it for a while, an inexplicable sadness surged from the depths of Fang Xingchen's heart, causing Fang Xingchen to shed tears inexplicably.

"Okay~Good people do it~ I'll let you borrow my body to be sad~" After feeling the true feelings of the creatures in his body, Fang Xingchen was a little moved.

"No..... With ~ Xie ..... to, give...... Do you want to ...... What you want...... Farewell...... Offspring..... Bear..... Spirit, little ..... Heart..... Evil...... Invade ....." suddenly remembered the voice of the mysterious creature in his mind, and said a long series of intermittent words, and finally disappeared directly.

"Farewell~ Are the descendants alive?Could it be that you are really an ancient ancestor?And that white jade withered bone is your remains?" From this voice, Fang Xingchen keenly discovered that the other party might really be the ancient ancestor he was looking for, but the other party seemed to be dead. If Fang Xingchen guessed correctly, what was now parasitic in his body might be the spiritual form of the ancient ancestors.

"Are you still there? I want to know a ...... After guessing that the other party'.....s mental state might be parasitic in his body, Fang Xingchen was very worried that this mental state would suddenly disappear after being stimulated, so he immediately asked what he wanted to know. It's a pity that before he finished speaking, there was a strong tingling sensation in his brain, which made Fang Xingchen faint directly.

Fang Xingchen, who fainted to the ground, experienced some memory pictures that did not belong to him at all in a daze, and these memory pictures gradually began to merge with Fang Xingchen's own memories. After being forced to fuse his memories, Fang Xingchen's body was also undergoing unknown changes.

At the same time as Fang Xingchen's body changed, the mist in the air began to slowly converge. As if they had been summoned by Fang Xingchen, they gathered into a mist, passed through the invisible wall, and all flowed into Fang Xingchen's body. After a long time, there was no fog in the entire ruins, and Zhang Hong, who was ossified on the stone road, also regained his freedom at this moment, and everyone who was knocked unconscious by Fang Xingchen also woke up one after another.
