At 8 p.m., 10,000 meters underground (5,000 meters underground).

Tianpeng Liming and the others arrived at a village, and everyone was really amazed by the beautiful scenery of this village.

Ancient roads, west winds, horses, small bridges, flowing water, people. At first glance, it's a paradise.

But there are some big differences, that is, the houses in the village are not made of wood, they are all made of metal, some of them are very high, they are arranged in a regular way, and they are located in a way that perfectly matches the brown-red trees around them.

Tianpeng was very curious, and he asked casually, "Why does the house look like it's made of metal?" ”

"The village is bigger than you think, and you see just a corner, and there are some houses made of stone or wood." Meng Yirou explained.

"Is that what most people live in metal houses?"

"Pretty much, because a metal house is easy to live in."

"How's that convenient?"

"You'll find out when you're free, but for now you'll go with us to the garden, where the elders stay."

Tianpeng was very curious about what the garden was, but it was not good to ask too many questions now, it was better to follow them obediently, and it would be clear at a glance later.

On the way to the garden, the dozen or so male and female villagers left the team and went about their own business. Only the village chief, Xia Zhen, and Meng Yirou were left to continue to accompany Tianpeng and the others to the garden.

It was dark now, and the large miner's lamps on the rock wall overhead had dimmed. But inside the village, there are still many small mining lamps lit. Along the way, there will be some small miner's lamps every few meters, and some of them are still installed in lanterns.

"It's like it's on land, it's like it's really night." Li Ming said incredulously.

From the moment the group entered the village, their heads never stopped, and they kept looking east and west, because there were too many interesting things and too many beautiful scenery.

The plants in the village are completely different from the forests outside, and there are many kinds of plants here, and there are many greenery, giving people a sense of familiarity, as if they have returned to land.

The roads in the village are very clean, and every few hundred meters there will be a robot cleaning up, even if it is a fallen leaf.

Although there are sweeping robots on land, they are not as flexible as them.

"It's the first time I've seen this kind of environment, it's flowers and trees, it's robots, it's a metal house, it's all styles, and it can be so perfectly matched." Jiang Hao said with emotion.

When passing by a large pond, Tianpeng saw a "small island" in the middle of the pond. There is a large stake house on the island with several six-tailed foxes at the door.

At this time, the little six-tailed fox that was spinning next to Jiang Wei jumped lightly towards the pond, and ran to the central island on the water lilies.

The radius of this large pond is about 300 meters, and the small six-tailed fox body is light and falling, causing ripples in the water, which at first glance looks a bit like light work.

"Is that the little fox's home?" Li Ming asked Jiang Wei.

"Well, yes, the six-tailed fox is very rare now, especially after the extinction of the nine-tailed fox beast, the situation of the six-tailed fox is very worrying."

"What is a nine-tailed fox?"

"One of the four divine beasts, by the way, the dragon king I said before is also one of the four divine beasts."

"It seems that this underground world has a lot of knowledge, Jiang Wei, you have learned a lot." Li Ming touched Jiang Wei's head.

"Of course, I've been here for over a month, but I've only scratched the surface. Do you know? The history of the underworld is about 100,000 years old, which is hundreds of times the history of mankind. ”

"It's scary." Tianpeng said.

"Eh, is this underworld a prehistoric civilization?" Reverse Scale said.

"I don't know." Jiang Wei was not clear about the concept of prehistoric civilization.

"You can tell you that prehistoric civilization refers to the civilization that preceded human history and later became extinct. But the underworld has always existed, not just prehistory. Jiang Hao said.

"Tut-tut, can you not chew on the words, is it necessary to explain it so clearly?"

"Look over there." Liming pointed in the distance, above the middle of the village. There was a glow all the time, and there were some flying machines sprinkling water around the light.

"Those flying machines look high-tech." Reverse Scale said curiously.

"Have you forgotten?" Tianpeng reminded, "Before, Xia Zhen said that this universe was copied from the primordial universe, and the primordial universe has reached the interstellar civilization, so it is not uncommon to have these high-tech. ”

"Have you figured out what the hell is going on?" Liming asked.

"It's a rough idea, it's not very clear, and when you get to the garden, everything should be clear."

After more than ten minutes, the group finally arrived at the so-called garden.

It turned out that the glowing area that Li Ming pointed to before was this garden. This garden is not an ordinary courtyard, it is very large and spectacular. The gate of the garden is carved from a majestic pillar with the inscription Hanlin Garden. Before you even enter, you can feel a strong cultural charm.

There is a large rockery in the center of the garden, and in the middle of the rockery, there is a huge tower, and the top of the tower glows with golden light.

"This garden has a similar function to a museum, but it will be more authoritative than a museum, and it will record the culture and history of the underground world, as well as the customs and characteristics of the village." Meng Yirou explained.

Entering the garden, the houses here are basically wooden structures, there are no metal buildings, there is no smell of metal, even the sweepers on the road are all living people.

The sweepers were very young, children, both male and female.

"Why do you let children sweep the floor?" Li Ming was puzzled.

"This is a compulsory course, they have to sweep 100 days and earth here, fully experience everything in the Hanlin Garden, only then can they graduate from primary school." Meng Yirou replied.

The group continued to walk towards the interior of the garden until they reached the interior of the large rockery.

Once you get to the inside of the rockery, there will be a drizzle.

Li Ming looked up and saw that the flying robots above her head were sprinkling water.

"Why sprinkle water?" Jiang Hao asked Meng Yirou.

Now Jiang Hao and Reverse Scale will ask Meng Yirou whenever they have questions, and they feel that Meng Yirou is very gentle and always has a smile when she speaks. And Xia Zhen always speaks very seriously, to a certain extent, Xia Zhen's personality is slightly similar to Liming. Answering some questions by chance, she won't be good, and if she keeps being asked, always being introduced and answered, Xia Zhen will become impatient. But Meng Yirou didn't get tired of it and kept smiling.

"The sprinkling of water is to lower the temperature, because the tower will continue to emit some weak energy, and over time, the area around the tower will become a little hot. The water is continuously sprinkled and has a cooling effect. ”

"How many floors does this tower have?" Reverse Scale asked.

"With a total of 28 floors, it is the tallest building in the entire village."

"What is this tower made of?" Jiang Hao also asked.

"Some metals, some synthetics......"

The questions of Reverse Scale and Jiang Hao became more and more detailed, and the two of them kept revolving around Meng Yirou.

Xia Zhen said helplessly to the village chief: "Yirou's character should really be changed, those two people are getting more and more excessive, and they asked fiercely." ”

The village chief still wrenched his face and said expressionlessly: "The person who comes is a guest, let's let it go on the first day, and you don't always face them with a cold expression, it's very impolite." ”

Hearing this, Xia Zhen had a black line on his face: "Village Chief, are you embarrassed to talk about me?" It's you who keep your face straight, as if someone else owes you. ”

"Nonsense, do I have it?" The village chief stared at Xia Zhen with a serious expression.

When Li Ming and Tianpeng saw this scene, they almost couldn't control their laughter. Now they finally understand that the village chief is really good, but he is born with a serious face, and it is difficult to change, and it is difficult to deliberately laugh.

After walking for a few minutes, everyone came to the gate of the giant tower, there was a large open space in front of the door, the greening was very good, and there were several old men sitting on the stone table playing chess.

All of these old men were gray-haired and wrinkled.

"Howe, how old do you think they are?" Reverse Scale whispered to Jiang Hao.

Because it was a little rude to discuss the grade of the old man, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"I think I'm almost 200 years old." Jiang Hao replied softly.

Everyone walked forward again, until they reached the gate of the giant tower.

There were several white-robed old men standing in front of the gate, they also looked very old, but they stood very straight. The leader of the old man also held a white scepter with a golden gemstone carved on the top.

The village chief stopped in front of the elders and bowed to them. Immediately afterwards, Xia Zhen and Meng Yirou also bowed to the old people, Tianpeng, Li Ming, Jiang Hao and others were a little overwhelmed, they didn't know whether they wanted to bow or not.

Xiao Jiangwei suddenly bent down slowly and bowed to the old people. Tianpeng, Jiang Hao and others reacted immediately, and also bowed to the old people.

Judging from this posture, everyone can basically guess that these old people must be the old people in the village.

The old man at the head of the group, with waist-length white hair, walked slowly down the steps with his scepter and came to the village chief.

"Jumang, how did you deal with this matter of the swamp forest?"

"I'm not them." The village chief replied cautiously.

Reverse Scale thought to himself: This village chief actually has people who are afraid.

"Xia Zhen killed several dire crocodiles, this matter is big or small, why are you so careless?"

Hearing this, Reverse Scale immediately panicked, because the crocodile fear incident was actually accidentally caused by Reverse Scale.

"Great Elder, please rest assured, I have subsided the anger of the crocodile, and I let the crocodile king bite off my arm." Ju Mang replied.

Li Ming, Tianpeng and others were shocked, it turned out that the village chief was not unable to defeat the crocodile king, but deliberately let the crocodile king bite off his arm to calm the crocodile king's anger.

The Great Elder looked at Ju Mang's arm, and there were still some traces of blood remaining on it.

"Well, it's good to calm down, thank you for your hard work. Let's all come in, let the guests come in too. The Great Elder suddenly smiled kindly.
