Chapter 315 Legendary
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"
Xie Qiang shouted a few times, and Ling only reacted.
"What's wrong?"
"Professor Zheng told everyone to stay over there, and stayed up for a few hours until dawn."
Xie Qiang used a rare honorific, but there was no trace of respect on his face, but with a sarcastic smile.
Ling Tian looked in the direction Xie Qiang had indicated, only to see that Zheng Tian and Tian Jing had already hid in the recess of the wall on one side, shivering.
Now he knew why Xie Qiang showed a sarcastic expression, in this uncertain and dangerous place, hiding in a depression to limit his range of movement was tantamount to looking for death.
Ling Tian thought for a moment and walked over under Xie Qiang's surprised gaze.
"Professor Zheng, are you sure it will be safe here after dawn?"
Zheng Tian nodded: "We have been studying the ruins of Longhai for a while, and almost all the weirdness will disappear at dawn ....... ”
Speaking of this, Zheng Tian hurriedly closed his mouth, and his face became a little stupid.
And Xie Qiang let out a few sneers: "It turns out that you already knew, I'm afraid you deliberately deceived my brother to die." ”
Zheng Tian wanted to explain, opened his mouth and let out a long sigh, shaking his head and not talking again.
Stopping Xie Qiang's behavior of stepping forward, Ling Tian opened his mouth and asked, "Professor Zheng, at this point, I hope everyone can be in the same boat, at least you should tell us something." ”
Zheng Tian was silent for a while, and nodded with a lonely expression on his face.
"I only believe in history and evidence all my life, never believe in any ghosts and gods, since I started to engage in this business in my 20s, it has been almost 40 years now, and strange things have also been encountered, but I never believed in the existence of ghosts and gods, until I saw the ruins of Longhai.
The ruins of Longhai should be called Longhai Ruins, which first appeared in an ancient tomb of the Warring States Period, that is the ancient tomb of a prince and minister, although the life history of the owner can no longer be verified, but in the coffin of the main tomb, we found a piece of jade engraved with words.
You know, at that time, there was no technology to carve many words on the jade, but such a piece of jade appeared, and some people even joked at that time that someone had crossed back.
But in any case, this piece of jade that has been mutilated has become the focus of everyone's research, although the text on the jade is different from the text used at that time, and finally after a lot of research, it is still clear what is carved on it.
It's just that it's not what we think, it's not an important thing, but a mythical story, which everyone thinks is an object used in sacrifices, and gradually loses attention to it.
It wasn't until a few years later, during the protective excavation of another imperial tomb nearly a thousand years apart, that everyone took out the jade bi again.
Inside the emperor's mausoleum, there is a tall gold tablet made of gold, with the inscription on which the same story is written, as well as the emperor's yearning for the place in the story.
Longhai Market is the place mentioned in the story. ”
Zheng Tian took a deep breath, revealing a hint of yearning and continued: "Legend has it that in ancient times, the ancestors had established a powerful tribe, they loved peace, used fair trade methods to communicate with other tribes, and even taught those backward tribes knowledge.
But not all tribes were without ambitions, and soon, a tribe learned advanced technology under their teaching, only instead of using such technology to improve the life of the tribe, they began to produce weapons.
This tribe had a strong force and began to conquer the other tribes, and war broke out.
They annexed the small tribes one by one, and one day, they angered the good tribe. Although they are already powerful, they are afraid of their teachers.
While apologizing to all the tribes as demanded by the good tribes, they sent troops to attack the good tribes. Soon, they discovered that the kind-hearted tribe was so kind that they didn't even have weapons.
The tribe that had lost its fear began a war of extermination, completely forcing the good tribe into a corner.
Just when they thought they were about to win, a tragic scene happened, countless people from the good tribe jumped into a sea, and after the 9999th person jumped in, there were less than 200 people left in the good tribe.
The sea began to churn, and a giant walked out of the churning sea of blood with dark clouds.
A massacre that wiped out the presence of the attacking horde.
The remnants of the good tribe rebuilt their tribe with giants beside the sea, only by this time they no longer trusted anyone, and they began to live alone, refusing to have contact with others.
Legend has it that they used their mystical technology to build a huge city, in which gold paved the way, gems were only embellished, and all they ate were dragon liver and phoenix pith, and they drank all the elixir and jade liquid.
The giants provided them with everything, even giving them thousands of years of life.
It's just that this tribe called Longhai has always existed and is legendary, and no one has ever found the Longhai Ruins where the tribe is located.
Even so, every few tens or hundreds of years, there are always lucky people who claim to have found the Longhai tribe and even got a long life from there.
In the records of the golden stele, there are no less than hundreds of people who have been given hundreds of years of life because they found the Longhai tribe, although most of them have not left much trace in history, but several people are real in history.
These traces of history make people more certain of the existence of the Longhai tribe, and finally one day, a powerful tribe spent several generations and hundreds of years to find the Longhai Ruins.
These people didn't want to conquer the Longhai tribe at first, but at that time, the Longhai tribe still adhered to the original ancestral system and did not communicate with anyone, and when they couldn't ask for it, the tribe began to split.
Some of them plan to conquer the Dragon Sea Ruins, while the other part wants to blend in with the Dragon Sea tribe. No one knows what happened in the end, but since then, no one has ever found Longhai Ruins.
I don't know how many years have passed like this.
A conquest army lost its way in the fog, and at last they reached a strange place, passing through a tall city gate, full of stone houses, and wide streets connected to the magnificent temple.
There was no trace of farmland outside, and there seemed to be no living people in the city, and the leaders of the army intended to use this place as a temporary place to stay. I even plan to occupy this place when I go back.
But just after nightfall, the soldiers who lived in the stone hut screamed from time to time, and someone reported to the leader that this place was full of monsters, and I don't know where they appeared, and began to kill continuously.
The leader walked out in his armor, the streets were filled with terrified soldiers, and screams and the sound of wild beasts gnawing could still be heard from the stone houses.
The leader gathered some brave soldiers and pushed the stone walls to it, and in the shadow of the houses, he saw the monsters.
Some of them had four or five arms, some had two heads, and some of them even seemed to grow together as if they were two people.
In the firelight, the monster let out a cry of fear, abandoned the soldier who had been gnawed down to the skeleton, and quickly fled.
The leader did not dare to wait, he hurriedly left with his soldiers, but the gate on the city wall was closed, and they could not open it with all their might, and the screams of the soldiers continued, and finally the leader could only take the soldiers to the temple to take refuge.
The temple had magical powers, and when they reached the temple, the monsters let out unwilling cries and retreated into the stone house one by one.
Subsequently, the leader sent warriors several times in the hope of finding a way out, but unfortunately, each time the warriors who left the temple did not return.
In the end, the leader and his soldiers died in the temple. ”
Zheng Tian took out the water cup he carried with him and took a sip: "Many people say that the leader and his soldiers did not arrive at Longhai Ruins. ”
Zheng Tian's last words reminded Ling Tian of a scene he had just seen, not far from the gate, there was a strange stone house, unlike the other stone houses, one of the walls of that stone house had collapsed on the road, occupying half of the pavement.
Tian Jing came back to her senses from the story and asked curiously: "Professor Zheng, if no one escapes, then how did this legend appear?" ”
"It's not that no one escaped, some soldiers were lucky, they left the temple during the day, but when they left, they couldn't find their way back."
"Is that also documented?"
Zheng Tian nodded: "A legend passed down by word of mouth, except for the name Long Hai in the legend, the others are exactly the same as the record. ”
Zheng Tian himself determined the legend of the ruins of Longhai, which made Tian Jing suddenly too frightened to speak.
Xie Qiang thought about it and shook his head: "Since the temple can protect everyone, then how could An Xueyun and Xie Haisheng die?" ”
His voice was a little loud, and Zheng Tian was about to return, but a familiar voice came from the passage in the distance: "You bastard cursed us to death behind your back." ”
Everyone turned their heads, just in time to see Xie Haisheng coming over with an angry face, and behind him, Chu Min was also followed.
"You, you?" Zheng Tian's entire face was dazed.
Xie Haisheng snorted coldly at Xie Qiang, and then looked at Zheng Tian with a happy face: "Professor Zheng, we found An Xueyun, she fell into a gap and fell into her leg, you should think of a way." ”
Everyone looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to the pool.
Xie Haisheng didn't know why: "What's wrong?" ”
"Water, inside the pool."
Tian Jing's frightened voice made him frown, and he muttered as he walked to the edge of the pool and looked down: "What, there's nothing in the pool." ”
"No?" Xie Qiang walked over in a few steps, and when he saw it, he suddenly took two steps back: "It's on the coffin, don't you see it?" ”
"I just didn't see it, what's on the coffin? Snail? ”
Xie Haisheng looked at each other angrily, Chu Min hurriedly took two steps forward, and after a glance, he looked at Tian Jing in confusion.
"There's really nothing in there."
A few people who had already walked over clearly saw An Xueyun's body lying on the coffin, and the exposed intestines were rippling in the water.
