"Say it, I'd love to hear it."

It's not against my will, I'm really curious about everything here, such as why the dried corpses are transformed, why the dried corpses are dressed differently, they look like ancient and modern people, why those strange sand have the same characteristics as my golden needle, where do these big scorpions come from, and most importantly, why is the underground palace here built, and how long has it been here?

It just so happens that this Professor Tian intends to share it with me, so why don't I do it?

After hearing the desired reply, Professor Tian's eyes became more and more fanatical, and even the way he kept repeating his words changed, and his speech became orderly and concise.

He said, "I, I, I, where do I start?" Where is it, where is it? ”

Fearing that he would go insane, I said, "Let's go back to the roots, and start with the history of Setulis." ”

Professor Tian repeated as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Yes, yes, yes, let's start with history, well, history, you let me think about it...... The rise of the kingdom of Setulis was actually caused by a royal civil strife. A long, long time ago, in the depths of the Gurbantunggut Desert, there was a country where a beloved prince failed in a royal struggle for the throne, and that prince began to flee with many of his supporters. ”

"Until one day they came to this land, the land that you once saw, the land above. By chance, the prince discovered a secret underground. ”

I couldn't help but ask, "Secrets underground?" Is this where we are now? What secrets could there be here? ”

Professor Tian was not annoyed that I had interrupted him, but was even more excited by my participation, and he pretended to be mysterious: "A spiritual spring! ”

I shouted cooperatively, "Lingquan? The well on the mural? ”

Professor Tian seemed very satisfied with my reaction, but instead of answering my question, he said to himself, "That's right, Lingquan. In ancient China, whether it was the princes and nobles or the common people, they all believed in the theory of feng shui, and the most important thing in the so-called feng shui theory was to seek qi. Qi is the essence of heaven and earth, the royal family is looking for atmospheric luck, regarded as their own dragon vein, guarded from generation to generation, and the people are looking for the tomb with excellent feng shui as their place to rest. ”

I couldn't help but ask, "Then that prince knows the art of Feng Shui?" ”

Professor Tian shook his head and replied, "I don't understand. ”

"Then how did he know that this place was a feng shui treasure?"

Professor Tian smiled with interest and said, "Then have you noticed that the sand outside is different?" ”

This sentence really hit my heart, and I subconsciously touched the sand I had collected earlier.

True, the difference in the sand was obvious, so it is conceivable that the prince found it different, and there was nothing to marvel at.

I raised my hand and motioned for Professor Tian to continue.

Professor Tian nodded and said, "Since you can see that the sand here is different, I think you must be amazed when you see the spiritual spring." Hahahaha. ”

What the? Can we go to that spiritual spring?

I suddenly had some anticipation.

"Because of the existence of this spiritual spring,

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

So the prince decided to lead the people who followed him to take root in the land, and it took them many years to finally establish a new kingdom, which you later heard of as the kingdom of Setulis, and that prince was the first king of the kingdom of Setulis, Setulista. ”

"Not only did they build the cities on the earth, but they also built the same size underground. There are three purposes, one is that after they came here, they discovered the existence of those huge scorpions, according to the cognition of that feudal society, they usually talked about ghosts and gods when they saw such a contrary to common sense. At that time, Setulista had always believed in the demon god Kakulia, and according to legend, the demon god Kakulia had been hidden in the darkness and had the power to destroy the world. Seturista believes that those scorpions are the devils left by Kakulia in the world, which represents the will of the demon god Kakulia, and is a strong evidence of the existence of the demon god in the world. So part of the reason why they built a palace here was to worship the demon gods and worship these huge scorpions, after all, for hundreds of years, they regarded these scorpions as their totems and have always worshiped the faith. ”

After hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, the people here believe in scorpions, and the devil on the mural is probably the demon god Kakulia, it's really funny, there are still people who believe in these things.

But before I thought about it, in San'er's hometown, wasn't there a tribe that established a big sacrificial place in the mountains for the weasel?

Ancient times were really an era of coexistence of civilization and ignorance, and any animal could be worshipped.

I asked, "But Professor Tian, they are building a palace here with great fanfare, don't those scorpions attack them?" Can't those scorpions know that people are building palaces to worship them, right? ”

Professor Tian smiled and said, "Hahaha, that's right, it's impossible. However, the people of Setulis discovered the habits of these giant scorpions, which would wake up in the middle of the night, engage in activity for a few hours, and then burrow back deeper into the earth to hibernate and so on, without exception. Therefore, the clever Setulis used the dormant time of the giant scorpions during the day to build a palace here, and the sun rises and the sun sets. ”

I can't help but think back to the time when we first came to this underworld, it was about eleven twenty minutes, and then combined with the awakening time of the giant scorpions, it was about exactly midnight.

Everyone can calculate this account clearly, and everyone casts resentful eyes on the green rhino who is dozing off while listening.

If he hadn't insisted on entering the Devil's City as soon as it got dark, we wouldn't have encountered so many huge scorpions when we came in after dawn, and we wouldn't have almost lost our lives.

Professor Tian looked at our reactions, not knowing why, but he didn't ask anything, but continued: "Second, this palace was established to protect the spiritual spring. Because of the existence of this spiritual spring, this is the treasure of feng shui, the kingdom of Setulis gradually became very rich, Setulista believes that keeping the spiritual spring is to preserve the national fortune of thousands of generations, so he set up a royal law, any generation of national network must protect the spiritual spring as the most important thing. ”

"The third, and least important part, is that they think they have to have a secluded and not so bad place to store their history permanently, so they have the walls here

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

Carved out what they thought was the most important part, which is what you see now. ”

I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the murals on the walls again, and suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Professor Tian, some of the last ones on that mural don't look as old as the other murals, may I ask these ......?"

Professor Tian said: "The last mural was carved by Tulaya in front of you, and the purpose is to commemorate the benefactor who came from afar. ”

My heart began to beat wildly, and sure enough, that person was real, it was he who left the gold leaf wooden box here, maybe I could finally know who that person really was, and know the ultimate purpose of the gold leaf wooden box he brought it.

I asked eagerly, "That person is the benefactor they are talking about, how much do you know about Professor Tian?" ”

Professor Tian replied: "I don't know a lot, but I heard from them in Tulaya that they used to be like the group of dried corpses you saw, hiding from the predation of those huge scorpions every day, until one day, that person appeared, he brought some magical insect repellent powder, the effect is very long-lasting, and it is very effective, he sprinkled insect repellent powder in this key place in the city, which gave Tulaya a place for them to stay." ”

"Do you know what that man's name is, what he looks like, where he came from, why he came here, and the origin of those gold leaf wooden boxes?"

Professor Tian shook his head and said, "I'm just interested in the history, culture and magical phenomena here, and I don't think what you said is the focus of the matter, so I didn't know too much." ”

I said more eagerly: "Professor Natian, can you help me ask Tulaya, as far as the questions I asked you just now, please help me relay them, this is very important to me!" Please! ”

Professor Tian looked embarrassed, but he still turned his head to Tulaya and said something, and then Tulaya replied in a hurry.

Professor Tian turned to me and said, "Turaya said, too much time has passed, and he didn't have any visual senses at that time, he just vaguely remembered the aura emanating from that benefactor, and that kind of life fluctuation was the reason why he mistook you. ”

My body, which had already stood up, fell back into the stone chair, and I was stunned.

Yes, their eyes are just a decoration, and after all this time, what can they remember? The most important thing for them is that the person saved them.

I breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I'm sorry Professor Tian, I just caused you unnecessary trouble, so you can continue." ”

Professor Tian paused for a moment, it seemed that my topic had diverged a little far just now, and he couldn't find a conversation for a while.

I scratched my head, I was really embarrassed, so I said, "Let's start a topic again, you tell us about it, Tulaya and they ......"

I didn't know how to express it for a while, to be precise, I didn't know how to call Tulaya and their group, and they couldn't really be called "zongzi", which would be too impolite.

I pondered for a long time, and I couldn't think of any suitable words, but after thinking about it, Tulaya and they should not understand what I was saying, so I said, "How did Tulaya come about, is it a special species bred by this land?" Still is...... Or is it formed after human death, or under some other condition...... What about other creatures? ”
