Chapter 268, Boundary Monument

The central area of Lingxi Town is not large, but the outer area extends very widely, and there are many ancient ruins distributed along the coastline, and the farthest is already 100 miles away from the center of Lingxi Town.

Most of these ruins are no longer recognizable and their age is unknown.

Archaeologists interpret it as traces left by the migration of primitive humans.

There are some things that are incomprehensible and unimaginable, such as huge neatly cut stones, that can only be attributed to the work of nature.

Of course, in the mortal world, there will also be rumors that this is an unfinished project left behind by aliens.

Most of the immortals are secretive about this, and only the polymath knows a little about the legends of this place.

For example, Lu Cheng, he said that this was once a place to suppress the dragon clan, called Suolongguan, but the name of Lingxi Town was derived from Shihuoling, not Pansiling.

Even a veteran player like Zhang Qiyue doesn't know these things.

There must be a reason for nothing.

Qi Hufei believed that Lu Cheng would not talk nonsense.

Niu Peng, the director of merit, asked him to come here to find the boundary monument and sweep the ground.

This is said in a fog and confusing way, but it obviously has a deeper meaning.

Qi Hufei felt that Niu Pang must know something, and was hinting at him.

There were many points of light flashing in the sky above Lingxi Town, and it was the members of the Chenghuang Division who were familiar with the surrounding environment.

Although many of them have been here, few are really familiar with it.

The coastline of Qianlong Bay is tortuous and complex, with many reefs and different depths of the water, if you are not familiar with it, you will definitely be in a disadvantageous situation in the future battle, and once you encounter danger, you will not even be able to find the direction of escape.

Qi Hufei followed Wujizi when he was a child, but he didn't have much impression anymore.

Master seemed to be looking for some kind of turtle shell, but he only remembered that he had picked up a lot of shells on the beach.

Zhang Qiyue is an expert in reconnaissance in the second team, and has been to Lingxi Town several times to serve as reconnaissance missions.

He was a little more familiar with the terrain than a group of combatants.

So, he acted as a guide, flying along the coastline with Qi Hufei and Fan Wuyi, and every time he came to a ruin, he would drop down to take a look.

After getting acquainted with it for a while, Qi Hufei decided to take a look at the boundary monument mentioned by Niu Peng.

Zhang Qiyue took him to a ruin about thirty miles southwest of Lingxi Town.

There are ruins and rubbles everywhere, and you can tell that there was once a large complex of buildings here, but it is no longer recognizable what it really was.

Zhang Qiyue said: "This is the site of the Chenghuang Division in Lingxi Town, which is seven or eight hundred years away from now. ”

Qi Hufei felt a little strange, seven or eight hundred years was not very far away, how could this house rot like this? I can't see the original appearance at all.

"Do you know the reason for the removal of the City God Division at that time?"

"I don't know, maybe it's like Mr. Lu said, it's the Dragon Palace that opposes it."

The two walked a few steps through the ruins, crossed a broken broken wall, and Zhang Qiyue pointed to a half-human-high stone and said, "This should be the tablet you are looking for." ”

Qi Hufei approached and took a closer look.

It is a remnant of the monument, the top of which has been broken, the top half of which is missing, and the remaining half of which stands on the ground.

The stele is dark throughout, and the surface has been weathered to the point that it is not visible, and it is vaguely possible to distinguish the handwriting engraved on the surface, but it is impossible to identify what the words are.

"Why is this a boundary marker? It doesn't seem to be a national border. Qi Feifei asked.

Zhang Qiyue said: "Some people say that this is a boundary monument between land and sea. On one side of the monument is the sea, and on the other side is the mainland. At that time, this monument was a sacred monument, which could stabilize the continental shelf and prevent earthquakes and tsunamis. Later, as the years wore on, the divine power on the stele failed, and it broke in a tsunami, and the half of it was washed into the sea.

It is also said that it is a continental boundary monument.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there were Kyushu in the world, and Kyushu was connected as one, and there were boundary monuments between states. That's one of them.

Later, the Great War of the Flood and Famine, the Buzhou Mountain was broken, the sky was tilted to the northwest, the land was sunk to the southeast, and the land of Kyushu sank, leaving only the four continents. ”

"Which one do you think is true?" Qi Hufei asked.

Fan Wuyi said: "It's not reliable." ”

Zhang Qiyue said: "It's just a legend. If, according to Mr. Lu, this was once the Lock Dragon Pass, then the first statement may be closer to the truth. ”

Qi Hufei stretched out his hand and touched the stone tablet, feeling that it was no different from an ordinary stone, and he didn't feel anything special with his divine sense.

He remembered what Niu Pong had told him to come here to sweep the floor.

Of course, Niu Pang would not really let him come here to sweep the floor, and this must have a deep meaning.

According to Qi Feifei's understanding, this is the site of the City God Division, and the City God Division will inevitably make a meritorious monument, and Niu Pang asked him to sweep the floor, so he naturally let him sweep the floor in the stele forest.

On another level, sweeping the floor may also mean finding a find, after all, it is in ruins.

So, what did Niu Pong ask him to find?

Qi Hufei first thought of the merit monument, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible.

For a place of the City God, the merit tablet can be said to be the first treasure, since the City God Division has been abolished, the heavenly court will not let the merit tablet remain in the ruins.

At first, he pinned his hopes on this remnant monument, thinking that something had happened at the beginning, such as a battle, which destroyed the monument of merit, leaving a remnant monument. Heavenly Court felt that there was no value to take away, so it stayed in this ruin.

But the monument in front of me is clearly not.

Judging from the weathering marks on it, it can be seen that it is far older than the ruins and broken tiles around it, whether it is the boundary monument of sea and land or the boundary monument of Kyushu, it is something from the ancient flood period.

Qi Hufei walked around the neighborhood again, looking for traces of the stele forest, but found nothing.

It stands to reason that there are many steles in the stele forest, except for the wordless merit stele, the rest are ordinary steles, only seven or eight hundred years ago, these steles should still be there, at least some remnants, will not disappear without a trace.

Qi Hufei silently recited and saw the dragon in the field, and started the treasure hunting technique.

The merit tablet is the treasure of the heavenly court, and even if there is only a little left, it can be found.

The clouds in the sky were like ink, there was no starlight in sight, the waves in the distance were crashing against the reef on the shore, and the huge waves were faintly mixed with some strange sounds, like a woman's cry and a baby's cry.

Except for the light emitted by himself and Zhang Qiyue, there was darkness above the earth.

Qi Hufei couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

This bird place, what a flood of ancient battlefields! What ancient ruins! What the former site of the City God's Division!

There is no treasure here.

He walked over to the stele again, reaching out and caressing its weathered rough surface.

The antiquities of the desolation should be treasures, but how can you be an ordinary stone?

Seeing that he was silent, Zhang Qiyue asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qi Hufei laughed self-deprecatingly: "If I say that I am relying on the ancient battlefield, do you believe it or not?" ”

Fan Wuyi said very simply: "I don't believe it." ”

Zhang Qiyue said: "Director Qin has come to hang himself, but what about you...... I don't believe it either. ”

"Why?" Qi Hufei said curiously.

Zhang Qiyue and Fan Wuyi said at the same time: "You are not this kind of person. ”
