Chapter 17: The Ancient Dragon Palace

The sun is high in the sky, causing the temperature of the mountains to increase sharply, and the temperature is already close to 30 degrees.

The point is that this area has only just gone through a fire, and there is soot everywhere. Not far away, the volcano was still spewing gray and white smoke. The strong smell of sulfur stings the person and leaves him breathless.

The whole team of the expedition team wore safety helmets and thick filter masks, and they were dying of stuffiness.

It's that Xu Yin's forehead is sweating. Wei Zhenzhen was even more tired and speechless.

If it weren't for Gao Xuan, who led the way in front, Wei Zhenzhen would have complained a long time ago. In order to show his maturity and sensibility, Wei Zhenzhen could only grit his teeth and endure it.

The other students are in a similar situation.

They have come all the way, and they have not suffered much. Such a harsh environment makes everyone complain.

It's just that Wang Hongen has a cold face, and no one dares to complain loudly.

Only Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang are the most relaxed. Although the two of them were wearing heavy wolf skin clothes and pants, they did not have a drop of sweat on their faces, and their steps were brisk.

Others don't care. They all thought that Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang were locals, and it was a natural skill to be able to walk mountain roads.

"Professor Wang, we're too close to the volcano......"

Seeing that the volcano was getting closer and closer, Xu Yin was a little uneasy. If the volcano erupts, there will be nowhere for them to run.

"Don't worry, we have Gao Xuan. ”

Wang Hongen had already sensed that the dragon tooth key in his arms was getting hotter and hotter, and he wouldn't leave even if the volcano really erupted.

Of course, at this time, he still has to have a reasonable explanation. Gao Xuan is a good excuse.

Xu Yin's face was full of suspicion, she felt that Wang Hongen was very abnormal.

Gao Xuan took the initiative to turn around and say to Xu Yin: "Professor Xu, don't worry, the volcano is very stable these days and will not erupt." ”

"Gao Xuan, this kind of thing is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. ”

Xu Yin is willing to believe in Gao Xuan, but as a team leader, she doesn't want to take unnecessary risks with the students.

It was an ordinary expedition, and it was completely unnecessary to go deep into the volcano.

"No in case. ”

Gao Xuan smiled and said, "Professor Xu, I am more afraid of death than anyone else. I'm not going to joke with my life. ”

Hearing Gao Xuan say this, Xu Yin believed it a little. That's right, Gao Xuan and Wang Hongen have nothing to do with each other, so there is no need to risk his life to help him.

Wei Zhenzhen couldn't help but praise on the side and said, "Brother Gao Xuan, you are so powerful!"

"Volcanic eruptions also need to have adequate conditions. ”

Gao Xuan said confidently: "This volcano is like a man, after a large-scale release, at least for a short time, it will not erupt again." ”

Xu Yin was a little embarrassed, how could she start racing as she spoke, she was unprepared.

Wei Zhen really bared his teeth and snickered, and he didn't know if he really understood.

Wang Hongen had no feeling for vulgar jokes, and he said loudly: "Everyone keep going, don't stop." It's close to the destination. ”

Xu Yin felt that it was not appropriate, but there was no reason to object. After hesitating, she could only sigh softly and follow the group.

"According to ancient legends, there is a fire dragon living in this mountain, and it was sealed by the gods because of its evil deeds......"

Gao Xuanzui couldn't be idle, and the others were exhausted and didn't have the energy to speak, so he talked about the ancient legends here.

"That's why it's called Chilong Mountain. ”

Gao Xuan said: "If you look at this matter scientifically, it means that this volcano erupted in ancient times, causing great harm to the ancestors. Out of simple and primitive ideas, the ancestors gave the volcano spirituality and hoped that the volcano would be honest and not erupt ......"

Although Wei Zhenzhen had no strength, he was still willing to give Gao Xuan a cheer, "Brother Gao Xuan, you know so much. ”

"Primitive religion always carries the most simple emotions of the ancestors, and no matter how it is transformed, it is relatively easy to interpret. ”

Gao Xuan was reborn, and although he didn't specialize in learning these, he still had some knowledge.

The other girls also looked appreciative and admired. After contacting each other in the past two days, they found that Gao Xuan was constantly handsome and unreasonable, and he was also very knowledgeable.

In contrast, the boys on the expedition were too frivolous and ignorant.

Zhou Jun, who had been looking at Gao Xuan unpleasantly, couldn't help it, he picked a thorn and said, "I can't see it, you grew up in the ravine and know a lot." But you're not right, our group are all immigrants from the home planet, where are the ancient ancestors, and they don't know how to engage in primitive worship......"

"Hehe......"

Gao Xuan smiled: "Three thousand years ago, a group of immigrants from the home planet landed on Pegasus. In just a few hundred years, the number of immigrants has increased hundreds of times. However, huge social contradictions have also accumulated. ”

Gao Xuan said: "These people think that intelligent light brains and robots have robbed the people at the bottom of the job opportunities and destroyed the most basic human creativity. So, these people moved to the Bailong Mountains and did not use any smart devices.

Over time, these anti-intellectual groups degenerate to their primitive state. Moreover, Pegasus has aborigines. It is 97% genetically similar to modern humans.

Because of the conflict with modern humans, some of the aborigines retreated into the White Dragon Mountains. This part of the aborigines intermarried with the modern people who retreated to the mountains, and the Bailong Mountains gradually evolved into the current traditional ......"

This period of history is very dark, and modern civilization has not recorded it at all, let alone in textbooks.

Only professors like Wang Hongen and Xu Yin, who specialize in related research, know this knowledge.

Zhou Jun didn't know anything about it and was said to be dumbfounded. He hesitated for a moment before he said unwillingly: "You made these things up!"

Xu Yin glanced at Zhou Jun: "As a student of Mingjing, if you don't know, don't talk nonsense." This is also the basic academic spirit. ”

Xu Yin has always been gentle to people and rarely directly criticizes students in public. This attitude can already be called harsh.

Zhou Jun's face was red, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

There was a burst of laughter among the boys and girls around. Zhou Jun, who always likes to show off, is not very popular.

Wang Hongen didn't care about these little things, he was very interested in the history of the White Dragon Mountains that Gao Xuan said.

The key to the dragon's tooth in his arms is an antique handed down from the mountains of the White Dragon.

He obtained this dragon tooth key, studied many ancient records and legends, and finally concluded that it was a key to unlock the treasure.

This time, he went out of his way to lead the team over, just to find the treasure.

What Wang Hongen didn't expect was that Gao Xuan, a young man in the mountains, actually knew so much about local customs and legends. And to be able to analyze these legends so rationally and scientifically.

Wang Hongen asked, "There seem to be ruins of ancient civilizations in the White Dragon Mountains, have you heard of it?"

"I've heard of it. ”

Gao Xuan said: "The so-called dragon totem worship did not come from the home planet. It came from the aborigines. It is said that the dragon totem worship originated from the ancient intelligent race of Pegasus. ”

"It's not all you just saying, what evidence do you have to prove the existence of the ancient intelligent race?"

Zhou Jun asked loudly. He listened to it for a long time, and finally seized the opportunity to save face for himself.

There has always been a huge controversy about ancient wisdom civilizations, and there has never been any clear conclusion. So many experts and scholars can't figure out what Gao Xuan said, why is he!

"It's very simple, the strange things that circulate everywhere are proof of this. Without ancient wisdom and civilization, where did these strange things come from? ”

Gao Xuan felt that this truth was very simple, and there was no need to say much at all.

"Strange things?"

Zhou Jun and the other students were all at a loss, with their knowledge and contact level, they didn't know the existence of strange things at all.

Wang Hongen and Xu Yin's faces changed slightly. This mountain forest grew up as a teenager, and his knowledge is a little too broad. He actually knows strange things!

Strange things are called strange things because they cannot be understood by humans and are extremely rare.

Ordinary people may know about the transcendent, but few know about the existence of strange things.

Those who don't know are unaware of it.

Gao Xuan was very satisfied with this effect. He just said this on purpose to stimulate Wang Hongen.

Wang Hongen's expression was really wrong, it seemed that he had something special to open the ancient ruins.

Xu Yin was shocked by his erudition.

Gao Xuan was about to test a few more words, Wang Hongen's face suddenly changed, he reached into his arms and grabbed something and pointed forward, the air in front of him shook, and a heavy mist surged.

The sudden change shocked everyone in the expedition team.

Wang Hongen said loudly: "Everyone gather together, don't move." ”

Fortunately, the fog quickly dissipated, but there was an unusually huge hole in front of everyone's eyes.

The cave was clearly built, and there is a long staircase passage that leads to the depths.

The sudden change was extremely magical, and everyone was stunned.

Only Gao Xuan was a little excited: it turned out that the underground Dragon Palace was covered by a special space barrier, and it needed to be opened by strange objects, no wonder he couldn't find it!
