Chapter 52: Ancient Writings

The closer we get to the answer, the more uneasy we feel. Is it right that we are searching for the truth?

The Ghost Slave King said that the Netherworld stopped mining rough stones, not because it brought harm to itself, but because it had found ancient high technology, which was incompatible with the obscurantism implemented in his country. It would not be a shame if the secrets hidden underground were known to outsiders. Therefore, the Netherworld pretends to abolish rough mining, but it is actually blocking the news. Those miners involved in the mining are believed to have been executed or imprisoned in the dungeon in order to avoid leaking the news.

Changfeng accused the Ghost Slave King of always having prejudices against the Netherworld and always maliciously slandering him. Guanglong also felt that things were not so simple.

It is worth mentioning that there is a jade wall with clear ancient characters written on it, which is obscure. Maybe there's the answer they need.

It is said that it is an ancient script, because even the ghost slave king can't understand it. They speak the same language, but the writing is different. The same text as the black hole mural on Prison Island, Xiaolan knows a little, and Changfeng should know a little bit about it.

Xiaolan tried to translate while gesturing: Some of the words "Sky Gods and Stars" are different from their pictographs, and some are square or round characters. They are all lost netherworld ancient scripts.

Guanglong struggled to figure out the meaning of the words, what do they want to convey? There is a large text on it, and it is difficult to understand the information of the ancients with just a few words. Midnight hides the hunger and thirst in the heart, and it is not surprising that ancient characters are the key factor in the Great Western Continent.

Xiaolan stopped translating and silently recited something, and she encountered the obstacle of unfamiliar words.

They speculated hard and waited for Xiaolan's golden words, but unfortunately the information about traveling through the past and the present was never revealed. Finally, a voice broke the silence and drew their gaze into the deep artistic conception of the ancient text.

"The gods of the sky look down on us and protect us. The stars are like eyes that guide the way and find their final destination. ”

They jerked back and found that it was the Wheel King standing in the doorway who was translating the text, and General Tieqi was beside him. Only in the middle of the night, I was still immersed in the situation of ancient characters, silently reciting every word.

Or were they caught up, how did they escape the lure of the silver skull~ and how did they get through the spikes at the bottom of the pit? Guanglong couldn't escape, and outside was a heavily guarded Netherworld Army.

The King of the Wheel looked at the strange Guanglong and them, arrogantly missing an arm, and Nian Nu happened to hold it; Midnight's left shoulder was wrapped in layers of bandages, and the blood stained a large ~ piece. He couldn't understand what they were going through. Fortunately, Changfeng and Shen Yu were not injured, and the Wheel King was relieved.

Midnight didn't care about the danger posed by the Wheel King at all, and he muttered and asked, "Hey, you translated it correctly, right?" Matters. ”

The Wheel King smiled and said, "You've all come to the end, what else do I have to hide?" ”

Changfeng felt that the matter was very important, and he held back his discomfort without asking the questions in his heart, "Father, what about the miners who mined the rough stone in the first place, and we really executed him?" ”

The Wheel King did not want to hide his dusty past, and said without thinking: "The miners and their descendants are imprisoned in the Infernal Hell for eternity. ”

As the Ghost Slave King had predicted, the Netherworld did not hesitate to throw the miners who mined the rough stone into the dungeon in order to seal off the secrets of ancient technology. Or the most terrifying Infernal Hell.

Changfeng had an expression of disbelief, did the Netherworld really destroy the corpse for the sake of honor? Is it worthy of the hard-working miners?

The Wheel King sighed, "It's not the original intention of the Netherworld, it's the miners who offered to keep the secret for the rest of their lives and accompany the original stone to sleep. ”

There are also people who voluntarily stay in the Infernal Hell, where the worst prisoners are full, and they have to eat each other. Miners can't figure it out.

It turned out that at the beginning of the rise of the Ten Emperors of the Netherworld, the whole country was mobilized to build a large number of buildings. Deep in the wilderness near the imperial capital, legend has it that there is a bottomless pit inhabited by evil spirits, which exudes a terrifying black aura. In order to eliminate the panic of the people, create a positive image that the ten emperors are the saviors. The death squad represented by Long Baiying was ordered by the emperor to begin the exploration of the crypt.

The crypt leads intermittently to the ruins of the dungeon, and if it weren't for the stubborn personality of the Netherlands, they would have given up digging long ago. The glorious dungeons were too dazzling for those days, full of incredible treasures and all kinds of ancient technology. This discovery was not trivial, and after consulting the emperor, he decided to continue the excavation. In order to find more exquisite palaces, Long Baiying dug deep to find a hard black ore. This is where the black gas that seems to be present on the ground originates.

Long Baiying presented the cut and polished black ore to the ten emperors, and they all liked it very much. Since at the beginning of the construction of the Ten Emperors, everyone had a ghost in their hearts, and some people with bad intentions co-opted Long Baiying and wanted to take the dungeon treasures and black ore for themselves, and it would be very useful to be the king independently one day.

The people of all walks of life began to go on a frenzied mining of black ore, the deadly rough stone, and became insatiable. When they excavated the Xingtian that connected to the apse of the temple, they were shocked and did not restrain their greed, and in the end, the miners all died under the interlocking mechanism of Xingtian.

During this period, Long Baiying was fascinated by ancient technology, and was especially impressed by the real picture of hell, and with the permission of the emperor, he built a hell that would be feared by future generations along the tunnel all the way down. In fact, the original intention of the Netherworld is very simple, to form a strong contrast through the terrifying hell, to teach people to be good, and to obey the absolute rule of the ten emperors.

The countless casualties of the miners made the ten emperors panic and had to stop mining, suspecting that they were punished by God for their desire for profit.

In the murals of the dungeon, there are many doomsday scenes that have been damned, and they seem to have heard a little about the sudden disappearance of Daxizhou. Drawing on his own experience in rough mining, Nether Leaders believe that the disruption and destruction of everything is due to greed and dependence on technology. Technological development will only increase human inertia and become more and more useless. If you want long-term peace and stability, you must conform to the principles of heaven, maintain a selfless and pure heart, and at the same time stay away from science and technology and return to ignorance.

The winds of obscurantism began to prevail in the Netherworld. In order to set the record straight, the Ten Emperors sealed off the rough ore veins and dungeons, vowing to keep the secret in the dust forever. The Wheel King also imprisoned scapegoats in Infernal Hell, atoning for their sins in his own name for generations, and comforting the innocent miners for the harm caused by his greed.

As for those miners, they know that they will not escape death if they go back, and it is better to die in hell. In fact, in the process of mining, they also have the vice of taking sheep by the hand and want to make a small fortune. The netherworld miners, who pay attention to the retribution of heaven, are not atoning for their sins and praying for forgiveness from God. In the end, they just want to get closer to the rough stone that brought evil, and keep the secret in their hearts forever. There were no prisoners at that time, and the miners were treated quite well. By now, with the addition of new prisoners, the descendants of the ancient miners have long since disappeared.

The descendants of the Ten Emperors have not forgotten the secrets of the dungeon, but they are secretly scouting, even if it is a little-known forbidden place in the country.

Guanglong listened to the general experience, and there seemed to be a discrepancy. Didn't they dig the rough stone for crossing, how did it become because of their own selfish thoughts? Didn't they discover the true role of the rough then?

Arrogance further questioned: "You have something to hide. There are countless treasures in the dungeon, why just keep an eye on the rough mining, isn't it easier to pry a few gold bricks? And you don't mention the crossing of the original stone and the soul express, what is the reason. ”

The Wheel King was speechless for a moment, apparently asked. He really has something hidden that has not been revealed, and there may be something unspeakable.
