Before we came here, Uncle Habtu from outside told us two legends.

Those two legends can basically be regarded as the opinion of the inhabitants of the neighborhood that the kingdom of Celturis disappeared overnight.

But it is clear that now there is a person involved, only Tulaya, oh no, now it is only Professor Tian's statement that is the most true.

Professor Tian sighed and said, "We have always had an old saying in the Central Plains called 'wealth is not exposed', and the demise of the Setulis Kingdom is still because of the royal family of the last Setulis Kingdom, they are too ostentatious. ”

I asked eagerly, "So what the hell is going on?" ”

"Setulis gradually became richer and richer because of his possession of this fountain. This has attracted visits from many countries, including the homeland of Setulista long ago, the country from which he was expelled. The royal family of Setulis had a grudge against that country, and were eager to show off their wealth, and to show off how happy they were now living for the descendants of those who had been deported. One of the members of the royal family, after getting drunk, accidentally confided in the spiritual spring, which was heard by the man who had come to visit the hometown of Setulista. He went back and spread the word, and soon the news of Lingquan spread throughout the nearby kingdoms, and those who were hungry for profit became entangled and formed a coalition army, and they launched a surprise attack on the kingdom of Celturis on a dark and windy night. Slaughtering the city in one night, the once prosperous kingdom of Setulis, all the people died in their own show-offs. ”

Speaking of this, Professor Tian paused, seemingly a little embarrassed.

Yes, this is the truth of being a low-key person, and showing off too much in a high-profile manner will often bring unexpected disasters to yourself, or even a catastrophe.

"The bandit coalition was not satisfied, but after plundering all the treasure, they drew the attention of Lingquan. They entered the Eternal Life Paradise overnight, thinking that they could smoothly divide up the spiritual spring. What I didn't expect was that although the person from the royal family said about Lingquan, he didn't say anything about the danger of this underground world. After the coalition came down, they happened to encounter the giant scorpions who woke up in the middle of the night, and after some fighting, all the members of the coalition army fell into the mouth of the giant scorpions. That's why the people you see in shabby ancient clothes have such a variety of clothing styles. ”

I nodded, indeed, some of the dried corpses we encountered later, some of them were indeed dressed in ancient times, but they were all different.

But there are obviously some dry corpses among those people who are dressed in modern clothes, so where did these people come from?

Just as I was about to ask, I suddenly thought of Mr. Ji.

Yes, there must have been some of these people who were hired by Mr. Ji to find the gold leaf wooden box, and they died here, and they became like that.

Seeing that I wanted to speak, Professor Tian deliberately waited for a few seconds, but seeing that I didn't react again, he continued: "After this night, there is no more kingdom of Celturis in the world, and no one will know how many creatures have been buried in this underground world, after the sun rises, everything has become a thing of the past, only these people in front of you, only they represent history, and only they can prove the bizarre, brilliant, and bloody everything that has happened. ”

Professor Tian's words ended here, and he seemed to be lost in thought, and his eyes were a little confused.

I also fell into silence, I didn't know what to do

Describe the current mood, probably a little melancholy.

Human beings are really not worth mentioning in the long history of complexity, and Setulis is a good proof of this.

After a long time, I breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Professor Tian, how long have you been here?" ”

Professor Tian eased up from the silence, thought for a moment, and then said, "That's a good question, how long has it been...... I don't know how many years have passed in this underground world, and I just study the history of Setulis here every day, and study the way Tulaya speaks. I also looked everywhere at the scenery, looking at the gentle yellow sand, and looking at the huge scorpions that wake up underground every day. When I think about it, I don't know how much time has passed......"

At this time, Tony, who had not spoken, stood in front of the window that could see the outside, and sighed slightly, "It must be very lonely......

Professor Tian rubbed his hands and said, "Lonely?" Hehehe, how can I be lonely, this is the place I have pursued all my life, how can I be lonely here? ”

I asked, "Professor Tian, you are a professor, you should believe in science, why do you ...... Why are you obsessed with this thing now? ”

Professor Tian was obviously stunned by my question, and then smiled heartily: "Hahaha, you are right, I am dealing with science every word, just like all scholars, I believe that all logic in this world can be explained by science." But the more I delved in, the more I found that there are some things in this world that are far from being explained by science, or it can be said that they cannot be explained by the current scientific understanding. These things used to get me into a dilemma in my own mind, and I couldn't find a way out. But instead of worrying about it, I feel very fortunate that I have finally found something that I can pursue all my life. My curiosity grew, and this curiosity led me to the ruins of Setulis, to this subterranean realm. This proves that everything I have done before has been worth it. ”

He smiled again, seemingly self-deprecatingly, and continued, "Look at everything here, which can be explained by science, can those yellow sands be?" Can those giant scorpions? And also...... Can these people in front of you be explained by science? Alas...... I now understand more and more why a scientist as great as Newton, a scientist who dedicated his life to the cause of science, would study theology in his later years. Because there are so many things in this world that are beyond human cognition. ”

I can't answer these words, although I know words like "Newton's Three Laws" in the case of hearing and seeing, but I really don't know much about Newton himself, I don't even know what nationality he is, let alone evaluate whether it is right for people to study theology in their later years.

I tried to use my brain and try to divert the topic.

Yes, I should have a stomach full of questions waiting to be spoken.

I suddenly thought of a very important question, and I asked: "Professor Tian, you have been selling guanzi just now, can you tell us now, what have you lived here for so long, what do you rely on to maintain your life, it can't be Bigu, I don't believe it, then you would have starved to death by now." ”

Professor Tian laughed and said, "You will know after I talk about this question for a while, you young man, you are really in a hurry." Besides, if you look at your friends, they don't seem to be in the right situation, and if we keep talking here, they're going to die. ”

I turned my head and looked around

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Companions, I found that some people who were scratched by the dry corpses, including Zhang Genhuo, their faces were very ugly, and it seemed that the wounds must have caused them a lot of torture.

However, everyone was already mentally prepared, and when they were injured, they calculated that according to the time of the return trip, we would not have time to find glutinous rice.

So from the moment everyone was poisoned by the corpse, it was a dead end, and no one could escape.

If they die here, I think I can beg Tulaya to give them a drink of the holy water of the spiritual spring, so that my brothers, my companions, maybe they too can get that kind of alternative eternal life.

After that, I will die here, and I will die with them, and together I will lock myself up forever in this isolated underground world.

Thinking about it like this, it's really unwilling......

I shook my head self-deprecatingly.

Wait a minute!

Something suddenly occurred to me, and I tried my best to recall the conversation I had just had with Professor Tian.

"If we continue to talk here, I'm afraid they're going to die......"

Professor Tian's words came back to me repeatedly, and I chewed carefully and found that the meaning of his words was...... If we stop the conversation now, they still have a chance to live, is that right?

I hurriedly stood up from the stone chair, grabbed Professor Tian's arm, and asked excitedly, "Professor Tian, what did you mean by what you just said?" Do you have a way to save my companions? ”

Professor Tian looked at me like a fool and said with a smile, "What? Do you understand what I mean? I just praised you for being smart, and said that you are smart, not smart, really not smart at all. ”

After finishing the topic he was most interested in, Professor Tian's speaking style returned to that half-crazy verbose state.

I didn't care, though, because he confirmed my conjecture.

This means that Zhang Gen doesn't have to die, and everyone doesn't have to die.

I explained, somewhat confused, "That...... I'm sorry, I'm so excited, because we didn't think we had any hope of living anyway, so I didn't hear the kindness you said, I ......"

Professor Tian waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about my reaction at all, but interrupted me, and said, "Okay, I know, I will save you, you don't have to be so restrained, like a girl, like a girl, just like a girl......"

Hearing Professor Tian's words, Zhang Genhuo and Lao Ma leaned back and fell behind laughing, and Lao Ma shouted: "Hahaha, this stalk, I can laugh for three years." ”

Professor Tian didn't know why.

He didn't know that in our daily life, one of the things that these bad friends often said to me was: "It's like a girl." ”

I glared at them and scolded, "Why do you guys want to kill dogs, you guys?" ”

Hearing this, Lao Ma and Zhang Genhuo closed their mouths in unison.

Seeing that we were no longer making a fuss, Professor Tian relayed something to Tulaya.

Tulaya stared at me for a moment with her shriveled eyes, then nodded.

Professor Tian turned back to us and said, "Turaya has agreed, we will immediately take you to see the most magical scene in this underground world, where all of you will be healed, and you must not scream when the time comes." ”
