Chapter 240: The Lost World (3)
It seems that although this is a store that may belong to the Sky Wolf, it is not a core store.
Ji Ying felt that there was nothing to explore anymore, so he raised his hand and prepared to go out, but was stopped by Qiqi.
"There was a collapsed display case on the first floor, and a gap was peeking out underneath. News just came back: there was a tunnel there, stretching for more than a mile. β
"Do you want to check it out?" Ji Cheng opened the space casually, and the side was still full of dust, "If you go down, you will eat ashes." β
"Use your skills to carve out a dust-free space." He pushed him straight in, and then followed closely by himself.
A slight white light illuminated a corner of the store, which had not been affected by the dust storm, but the planks on the floor had to be pried open to get down.
Although it is said that you can enter and exit directly, you need to prevent the situation of two people getting separated in case of emergencies.
Ji Yin chose the most simple and crude way. Remove the cabinet pressed on it, cut the wooden board directly with a spear, and step on it with force, revealing a gap just enough for people to pass through.
The plank fell and slid down the steps to the bottom. Faint colored light and white butterflies complement each other.
"It seems that it is still a very important place, otherwise it would not be possible to use star stones."
"This stone is indeed magical, it can still shine after so many years." Ji Cheng had already drilled down, "It's not humid down here, and there's nothing wrong with the air." β
The soil in the tunnel has been repeatedly wet and pressed, so that the surface is smooth and flat, and the density is extremely high, and only in a few places does it loosely peel off due to the struggle of the roots of the tree.
Although there are star stones embedded in the road, only one appears every few meters, and when you really walk, you still rely on the group of butterflies flying forward to light the way.
I don't know how far I walked, but the front suddenly opened up, and it was a huge cave hall. A wall made of stone blocks, with boulders supporting the dome, and inlaid with star stones.
In Ji Xiaoran's eyes, this place is like a theater, where guests can enter from all directions, and then sit on this staircase to watch the performance on the stage.
It's just that the beams supporting the curtain have broken and collapsed, and the curtain has slipped to the ground, and it is covered with dust.
"I'm afraid this is the underground auction hall of the four major forces in Ziwei Lane back then." Ji Ying looked around, and then fixed his eyes on the stage, "There are still things on it, did it suddenly happen in the middle of the process?" β
The number plates of the race are scattered all over the place, but they are not messy, they are all near their own positions. It looks like one moment they're still being raised, and the next second they're gone.
Qi Qi and Ji Cheng both felt a chill, but Ji Xiaoran ran down the steps like a nobody, and then climbed onto the stage.
On the shelf of the auction is a small triangular white tablet, which looks like it was carved from jade, but the color is like a piece of bone.
Through a layer of gray, Ji Xiaoran could faintly see the complex textures on it intertwined.
He followed her onto the stage, and he picked up the white piece and gently flicked off the dust, revealing his true appearance: it was a piece of bone.
I just don't know what animal it is, what part of it.
"This kind of thing, I really don't know what's so strange about this kind of thing unless I can get an explanation from the auction house."
It's just that this place is obviously different from Qingqiu, and they don't see the white ghost mask.
"Here." Ji Xiaoran walked to the side of the stage, where a transparent stone fell: what could appear in this position was something related to the auctioneer.
"This is not the same material as the crystal ball that carries the exercises." He held it in his hand, "It's a bit like the star stone on the Void Boat." β
With the injection of a trace of his spiritual power, the cave hall suddenly brightened, directly startling Ji Ying, who was still exploring on the seat, "What is it?" β
A light curtain was projected above the stage, and it was the bone fragment that was displayed on it.
The texture on the bone fragment in the light curtain was still flowing with gold, and the text next to it marked that this was a piece of broken bone left by the Pangu Great God after he melted into the world, and it could be used to enter the interior of the Heavenly Pillar.
"So it's a pass?" Ji Ying turned around and came to Qiqi's side, he took the bone fragment and looked at it carefully, "I don't see anything strange." What is that pillar? β
"Probably not Zhoushan? It stands up to the sky and the earth, and it is transformed by the spine of Pangu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a pillar of heaven. β
"Is there anything good to get in Zhoushan?" Ji Cheng motioned for him to turn the page, but there was information about other products behind it, "This kind of thing is very annoying, and it hangs people's appetite." β
"The precious things of that era may not be of much use to us anymore. For example, this star stone, if you can rewrite the content of it, it is a treasure. β
But they don't know how to rewrite it.
"Keep it away, maybe you'll be able to find something else on it." Ji Yin's mentality is not to let go of the slightest.
Ji Xiaoran pursed her lips and thought that her habit of being greedy for cheap must have been inherited from her father.
"But it doesn't look like the size of this auction is large, there are only ten items in total, and this bone fragment is already the eighth." "Judging by the situation here, these ten things should be here." β
There are still some things that are very useful, such as the finale product, which is a bottle of elixir that can whiten bones and build muscles.
I just don't know if I can find it.
But no matter how much they searched it, they couldn't find anything else, which was a little strange.
"It's possible that the person who took the picture just left, right?" Ji Cheng spread his hands, "After all, there is no auction that stipulates that guests must stay until the end. β
Ji Xiaoran was thinking, Qi Qi didn't find it back then, so there was naturally no one in this dream, where are there so many why?
She quietly tugged at the sleeve of her coat, "Aren't you able to deduce what happened in the past?" This time should not be much earlier than the construction of the Nuwa mound. β
"You can give it a try, but ......," Qi Qi pursed his lips, "The environment here is far more complicated than in the cave back then, and it involves changes in heaven and earth, so I may not be able to withstand it." β
"The retreat will not be too affected, only by scrutinizing the details will it be possible to be counterattacked, right?" Ji Xiaoran recalled the scene in the cave at the beginning, "If you have any bad feelings, stop immediately." β
After thinking about it for a while, when Ji Cheng was urging him to leave, Qi Qi nodded slightly, and then said to Ji Cheng, "You wait a minute, I want to see if I can erase the things in the star stone." β
"Do you have to fall under this ground? It's not the same thing to try when you go back. Although Ji Cheng complained in his mouth, he still walked back to Qiqi obediently and sat down with him. ζζΊη«― δΈη§θ¨δ½γβm.\B\iq\u\g\\o\mγ provides you with wonderful \ novel reading.
It looked like one hand was on his lap holding the star stone, but in fact, the palm of the other hand had closed his eyes close to the stage.
The scene of going back in time is like when you were under the Yan Yuan, because there is no alternation of the sun and the moon, at first you can't see any changes at all, until the curtain that fell on the side of the stage is hung again, but there is still no movement in the auction room.
I don't know how long I walked back, but a faint white gas began to appear in the cave, and the gas quickly became thick, and then quickly filled the entire space.
Then there seemed to be a moving black shadow in the thick fog.
It didn't last long, and the fog began to retract again, until it reached the corridors leading to here.
At that time, the auction was going on, and people kept holding up signs.
There was no choice at all to let time advance the development side, and Qi Pi immediately opened his eyes.
Vertical pupils have emerged, and the pale golden light is bright and dim.
When someone appeared, the amount of deduction about the past instantly increased, and he couldn't even see the picture of the future.
This time he didn't vomit blood, but his teeth still bit his lip open.
The corners of his mouth were red.
Ji Cheng hurriedly raised his hand to give him relief, helpless and distressed, "Why bother? β
But he smiled and didn't say anything.
Instead of choosing the same way back, he chose the path hidden behind the curtain.
The road at this location looks like a passage for auctioneers and attendants to walk up to the stage. Then the end of it, if not a treasure land, is at least the host store of the auction owner. Compared to a store that only serves as a customer referral, it should be able to keep more usable stuff in it.
"It's really weird." Ji Cheng took the lead in front, "Really I didn't see the wreckage of any people and animals all the way, so this change of sky was just a matter of an instant, and suddenly everything that was alive was evaporated?" β
"How much energy does that need? And there's no reason why the bones of the living have evaporated, and we're still able to pick up pieces of bones. β
"After all, it's the bones of the Pangu God, so where can ordinary people compare with it?" After Qi Qi finished saying this, he described the past he deduced to Ji Xiaoran in a low voice, "During the auction, fog poured in from outside, enveloping the entire venue for several days. When the fog receded, there was no one left. β
"That's it?" Ji Xiaoran felt a little incredible, "There is no vigorous fight?" β
"During the backtracking, you can see a dark shadow in the fog, but you can't tell if it's the creature that followed the fog in, or the people in the venue."
The girl pondered for a moment and said, "You're really not going to let my father know what you're capable of?" β
"If it's not an accident, it's best if you don't even know it." Qi Qi chuckled, "There are three people in this world who know a lot. β
Ji Xiaoran was thinking: There are also seniors, if Ah Yu is also included, there will be at least five people.
The road had turned to the stairs. Hundreds of steps all the way up, Ji Cheng saw a closed wooden door.
Pushing it upwards hard, Ji Ying found himself in a study.
He was also shocked by the shelves full of books.
Unlike the ledger hidden in the mezzanine, which isolated the air and moisture from the outside, the books here began to fall off with just a slight touch of the fingers, making the two of them dare not do anything at all.
Pushing open the door, I realized that this was not a study, but a bookstore.
From the outside of the store, the whole shop is built on the middle of the mountain, but the area is not large, and it is only one floor, which seems a little out of place with the surrounding building courtyard.
"It's a pity that you can't touch it, otherwise there must be something good." Ji Cheng felt that it was a pity.
"But it's not far from the top of the mountain."
In less than a hundred steps, they had reached the highest point of the Nine Mountains. The flat land in front of it was a small square, and in the middle of the lush grass stood a dead tree.
The dead branches are thick, and they are several meters wide, and you can imagine that when it is full of branches, it will be a scene of life and prosperity.
On the other side of the mountain, there was meadow, but the distance that spread far exceeded the distance they had traveled all the way from the north.
The breeze blew, stirring up a thousand waves of green, until they reached a place they could not see in the distant clouds.
"So that's the end of it?" Ji Cheng turned his head to look at the wreckage of the building behind him, "Then this town is not big." β
Estimated to be only a quarter of the size of the city? Although the height of the mountain exceeds that of Zhangsu.
"Since it is said that this is Tianhuang, then it is equivalent to the entrance of Ziwei." Qi Pi's gaze drifted into the distance with the wind, "A pier, an entrance, how big do you expect it to be?" β
"But if so, the place we see now was all black nothingness? Do people board the virtual boat from here to go to the interior of Ziwei? β
"It's hard to say, after all, we don't know what Ziwei looks like." Qi Qi retracted his gaze, "Go back?" β
Ji Zhi nodded, "Let's go back, and by the way, we can see if there is anything else to loot." β
Ji Xiaoran hoped that they could find a home for some kind of high-ranking and powerful person, and then find something more important.
After all, if it was really the white mist that swallowed people up at the beginning, then why did Fuxi, Shaodian, Shiwu, and even Candle Yin, the Queen Mother of the West, and the Prince of the East survive?
Ji Xiaoran thought of the so-called Shenyin.
Hidden by the gods.
Although it is said that the realm is no different from myths and legends, all living beings are hidden by the gods, which is unreasonable, right?
The cranky person didn't even notice that the steps came to an end, and he fell forward directly under the empty foot, if he didn't fall into an arms, he would probably fall and eat.
"You really don't look at the road when you walk." Qiqi was very helpless.
Ji Xiaoran laughed a few times, and before he could say a word, he heard Ji Cheng's very surprised voice, "Ah Qi, is it really good that you suddenly pose with a photo of something in your arms?" β
Frightened, the two hurriedly separated, and the hand of the fox was also put back behind his back, "I hallucinated for a moment just now, thinking that a girl had stumbled and fell from above." β
"It's all said, don't be reckless, don't be impulsive." Ji Cheng shook his head when he said this, and then stared at him, "Ah Qi, I will give you back your favorite words of chatter." β
