Chapter 60: The Altar (2-in-1)
Two hours later, when the sky turned dark, Ning Yuan finally trekked to the "Longwei Gorge" section.
The location where Ning Yuan appeared in the "Dragon Prisoner Jedi", if it is marked according to the map, it is probably in the northeast corner of the "Dragon Prisoner Jedi", near the edge.
"Longman Lake", that is, the opposite shore of this vast lake that Ning Yuan saw, is part of the "Dragon Tail" section of the Fulong Mountains. In terms of the area of the Fulong Mountains, it is about the distance of one or two "dragon scales". The "Longwei" mountain range on the opposite side overlapped with part of the eastern half of the "Dragon Body" mountain range on the right hand, forming the "Longwei Gorge" that Ning Yuan sees now, a dark gorge that connects the underground water veins of the "Dragon Prisoner Jedi" with the sea through the "Longwan Lake".
"This seems to be a natural deep-water port, huh?!" Ning Yuan looked at the huge dark gorge and the equally vast lake and sighed, "As long as the connection between the dark gorge and the open sea is not too narrow, it is a natural way in and out. ”
From Fan Xiu's memory, Ning Yuan can clearly know that the water depth of "Longwei Gorge" is definitely more than 20 zhang, at least Fan Xiu has not reached the bottom when he dived to 20 zhang at the beginning. And the water depth of 20 zhang is enough for the average large ship to draft.
With the width and depth of the water, it can be said that it is a good natural waterway, and there is no reason why it should not be discovered by ships sailing in the open sea. Even if those regular ships can't find it, there's no reason why the pirates and bandits who burrow everywhere can't find it. Unless the exit of the "Dragon Tail Gorge" is hidden beneath the surface of the water and is very hidden.
Ning Yuan shook his head and shook off some of the thoughts that arose after seeing the "Longwei Gorge", and turned his head to grope along the edge of the extremely oppressive Wanren Mountain Wall towards the south, while repeatedly checking the memories that did not belong to Fan Xiu in his mind.
After walking south along the Ten Thousand Cliffs for about ten miles, Ning Yuan saw the huge runes carved on the cliffs.
It is a semi-permanent rune carved by the unique method of the "Rune Array Master", and it can maintain its operation for a long time by absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth. And this long-term concept is usually "10,000 years". In other words, it will take at least six thousand years or so, and the effectiveness of this huge rune is still relatively good, and it will slowly begin to weaken until it is completely invalid.
Standing in front of the huge rune, Ning Yuan activated the Nine Refinements according to the method explained in his memory, and his hands urged the internal qi to start sealing.
After a complicated seal, Ning Yuan pointed the index finger of his right hand, which had concentrated his spiritual power, at a certain point at the bottom of the rune near his height.
When he pointed his finger on the rune, Ning Yuan's internal qi and spiritual power were absorbed by the rune, and after the feeling of absorption disappeared, Ning Yuan slowly retreated, only to see that the originally dim brilliance on the rune began to flow and become brighter. Then in Ning Yuan's eyes, a void entrance suddenly appeared on the cliff.
Ning Yuan's brows moved slightly. The cliff didn't change, except that a pitch-black and illusory entrance appeared on the cliff.
After stopping and thinking for a while, Ning Yuan did not find a clue to this method. However, it is no wonder that although there is some common sense in the memory of the realm line that has been absorbed by Ning Yuan, including some common sense and secrets about the Nino Continent obtained from people like Scar and Fan Xiu, who are either real or possessed, but there are too many knowledge and experiences that he has not understood and come into contact with in this world. With his current knowledge of this world, I'm afraid it's not even a small one.
However, even if he didn't know the details of this illusory portal, Ning Yuan didn't hesitate for long, after all, no matter how he thought about Fan Xiu's memory information, it was impossible to harm himself.
After entering the pitch-black portal, Ning Yuan didn't feel teleported, after thinking about it, Ning Yuan took a few steps forward again, and then Ning Yuan felt as if he had passed through a thin film, and his eyes suddenly brightened slightly.
Ning Yuan closed his eyes for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a stone cave. Above the stone cave, there are several Chang Ming stones to provide a light source, and below, that is, in the center of the stone cave, is a small stone platform, on which a jade box is placed.
However, the first thing that attracted Ning Yuan in the stone cave was not the stone platform and jade box, but the totem pole-like devices running in the four corners of the stone cave.
After taking a closer look, Ning Yuan found that there were several words engraved in the middle of each "totem pole", the two sides of the cave entrance were "absolute" and "drive", and the two inside were the words "town" and "shift".
Walking in front of the word "totem pole", Ning Yuan carefully perceived it and found that this "totem pole" was indeed running non-stop. Every quarter of an hour, an inexplicable wave spreads from the "totem pole" towards the space outside the entrance.
Ning Yuan spent half an hour carefully probing the state of the four "totem poles", and then faintly had some guesses. Only then did he walk to the stone platform and open the jade box on it.
Sure enough, inside the jade box was a crystal slip containing information.
After reading the information in the crystal slip with his spiritual power, Ning Yuan found that it was a letter left for him or for the heir of the Qin Alliance's inheritance.
"I don't know who you are? Don't know where you're from? But since you can come here and open the void door to enter this secret room, it means that you have been recognized by us. You are entitled to inherit everything we have left behind. Included in this treasure land that everyone in the world wants to grab. ”
"The four corners of this secret room are placed formation pillars with the outer runes as coordinate points, left and right, and all areas within a radius of five thousand miles in front of them. These four formation pillars were refined by me and my sister together, and the purpose was to take a safe area in the treasure land of demon beasts everywhere. ”
"You don't need to understand the specific functions and refining methods of the four formation pillars, you just need to know that the area within the formation is a relatively safe area. Within the scope of the formation, the demon beasts whose basic level is above the middle of the fierce level will be expelled, and all the demon beasts whose advanced strength has reached the level equivalent to the level of a cultivator will also be expelled, and the population of all demon beasts will be suppressed at an extremely low level. ”
"Next, I'll tell you some information about the area within the formation, including some information that we have calculated that will be helpful for building a city."
"Longman Lake and Longwei Gorge are natural deep-water ports and waterways, and I think you can see that if you can be recognized, you can also see it. You must wonder why it hasn't been discovered by the ships and pirates and bandits who travel to and from the open sea every day, right? In fact, our sister and I found out through field investigation and historical review that Longwan Lake, Longwei Gorge, and Half Moon Bay are indeed a natural path for the Dragon Prisoner Jedi to connect with the outside world. However, the entrances to Longwan Lake and Longwei Gorge were formed after the 'Dragon Sealing Disaster'. 6,000 years ago, there was no Longman Lake and Longwei Gorge. Xiaomei guessed that these two terrains were the upheaval that occurred after the earth dragon turned over. In other words, this natural path did not exist 6,000 years ago. ”
"As for why this place has not been discovered since it was formed? There are two reasons for this. One is that all the forces have placed their search for their way into this place on land, that is, the overland route across the mountains of the Fulong Mountains. The second reason is that the unique topography of Half Moon Bay hides this natural path. And the estuary of the underground water veins here is just below the surface of the cliff outside. ”
"But you don't need to worry, my little sister and I have already used puppets and formations to open up the entire channel, and now the exit on the other side of Half Moon Bay is enough for more than a hundred zhang of big ships to pass. As long as you're ready, you can turn on the mechanism and come and go freely. ”
"Let's talk about the situation in the safe zone. The total number and strength of the monsters in the safe zone should be guaranteed to maintain a safe level for 10,000 years, which is enough for you to ensure the basic safety of the city after you establish the city. The terrain is mainly plains, with hills and gentle mountains, so it can be said that it is an excellent terrain for building a castle. If you want a city that's easy to defend and hard to attack, look for the right terrain in the nearby mountains. As for the water source, Lake Longman is the best source of drinking water, and it is also rich in aquatic products. ”
"When it comes to property, the Dragon Prisoner Jedi is worthy of the title of Dragon Treasure Land six thousand years ago. The property in the safe zone alone is enough to feed a large city-state plus two medium-sized city-states, or a population of seven million. It also includes 2.1 million practitioners. There are many kinds of cultivation minerals under the plain area, all of which are large-scale shallow rich ores, and there are various special iron ores and copper ores such as akashi ore, cold smelting ore, dark iron and cold iron, etc. And, of course, the most important source stone mines. There are various grain and grass resources distributed in the hilly areas, including wild anmi, Qimai, etc., as well as various medicinal resources. The mountainous dense forest is rich in fruit tree resources. You will naturally see these things as your city is built. I won't dwell on it. Later, I will mark the specific location of all the proven resource sites on the map, so you can view it yourself. ”
"Finally, let's talk about the real purpose of leaving this letter, which is also our last gift to you. One is where the heart of the rules is placed. Marked by a cliff, a straight-line distance of ninety miles from Longman Lake, there is a natural leyline altar. This is the best place to place the Heart of the Rules in the entire safe zone. Cities with the Leyline Node Altar as the core will receive the blessing of the leyline, and although the specific effect varies depending on the nature of the leyline, one thing is certain, and that is the increase in the upper limit of the registered population. Keep in mind that the core of any city-state's power is population, and it is a registered population. And here, where there is no source of displaced people, the source of the population is only two Chosen Circles and non-human plunder. ”
"Yes, the second point I want to make is about non-people, that is, tribal things. My little sister and I found that although there were no city-states in this place, it was not without traces of intelligent races. Although the cultivators in the historical records have also found traces of the tribesmen's inhabitants here, there are not many, and when they encounter them, they will naturally be cleared. But after the closure of this place, I don't know why it became a concentration of tribal non-people. In the space of 6,000 years, these tribes and non-people have grown to an extremely large extent. Remember, the tribe is not a people, and it is a sworn enemy of the people of my city-state, and only prisoners of war can transform the tribe and non-people into a people through the rules of the city-state. ”
"In the end, () () please."
After Ning Yuan checked all the information, he was a little puzzled by the vague please. Shaking his head, he carefully reviewed the map with the exact location of the resource.
After reading the map, Ning Yuan's pupils unconsciously dilated slightly, even if he didn't know many things inside, and he didn't know the function, Ning Yuan still felt a shock, and he really had a little concept of the "Dragon Treasure Land".
However, after the shock, Ning Yuan floated a little solemn and worried. To be honest, this is the second time Ning Yuan has heard this after coming to this world. The first time was when he met Scar, when Ning Yuan asked why he couldn't enter and leave the Dragon's Blood Forest during that time period, Scar and the others' first reaction was to ask him if he was a tribesman or not. The second time was in this letter.
What kind of existence is the existence of "tribal non-people"? What is the causal relationship with the natives of the city-state? These two questions were really imprinted in Ning Yuan's mind.
But for the time being, everything is a question without clues, and before he really meets the so-called tribal non-people, Ning Yuan can't come up with a good one if he wants to break his head. So soon Ning Yuan put down his doubts and turned to think about the altar.
Speaking of leyline altars, in fact, the stars also exist in reality. The capital of Zhuxia was built around a leyline altar.
There are many theories about the leyline altar, and the most crucial one in reality is that the leyline altar is capable of suppressing luck. Many people believe that Zhuxia was able to survive the three hundred years of world war, in addition to the unlimited burning of the essence and the efforts of everyone, as well as the blessing of Zhuxia's luck suppressed by the leyline altar.
Regarding the statement that the leylines suppressed the luck, Ning Yuan didn't believe it or not. Some of the details in the historical records are indeed mysterious and mysterious, and it is really said that it is the blessing of the luck of the summer that the leylines suppressed.
However, the leyline altar in the game has all kinds of miraculous things, which Ning Yuan has also heard of in the common sense contained in the memory of the realm. It seems that there is a player city lord on that realm line who has established a city on a certain leyline node, and then his city has gained a permanent city attribute that "the morale of the army will not be lower than normal".
What is the concept? It is that the morale of his city-state army will never be demoralized and demoralized when it fights. The combat strength of the army can be brought into play normally even in the most unfavorable circumstances.
So after knowing that there was also a leyline altar here, Ning Yuan was very surprised.
Since it was already dark, Ning Yuan directly meditated and cultivated in the secret room all night.
Early the next morning, Ning Yuan stepped out of the void gate, resealed the runes, and then walked along the cliff in the direction of the altar.
The dawn of Longman Lake is quiet and elegant, the water surface is smooth, and the wind is not happy. The thin morning mist floats on the water, giving Longman Lake a sense of mystery and ethereal in the quiet and elegant.
Looking back at the direction of Longwan Lake, Ning Yuan understood that this would be a direction that he would inevitably develop first. It is also a direction that must be strictly guarded against.
An hour later, Ning Yuan, who was traveling south along the cliff, finally saw the natural altar.
The so-called natural altar is actually a natural rune stone platform, just like the stone platform that grows on the ground is engraved with natural textures, and these textures form natural runes.
The natural altar in front of Ning Yuan was like this. A naturally formed gossip stone table, the stone table is naturally engraved with runes symbolizing yin and yang gossip, and the center of the stone table is an invisible vitality spiritual spring, with vines climbing on the stone table to stretch the branches and leaves. A quiet and mysterious aura naturally spreads around the altar.
Ning Yuan stood quietly in front of the altar and took a deep breath, a rich and pure vitality entered his body with his breath, Ning Yuan's spirit was suddenly shocked, and the Hongmeng worms in his whole body naturally rose into a burst of comfortable and pleasant emotions at this moment.
