Chapter 478: The Ancient Kingdom of Loulan

Four floors!

God, this is only the second layer is so powerful, if it reaches the fourth layer, how terrifying will it be?

And this second layer is just a bud and has not bloomed.

It is completely foreseeable that once the second layer begins to bloom, the power of the lotus platform will gradually climb to a terrifying level.

"Four floors?!"

"Is this to burn the heavens and the earth?"

"Do you want to be so exaggerated?"

“……”

When several people heard this, they were all surprised.

"Not an exaggeration at all." The fat man shook his head and said, "Every kind of alien fire is spiritual, and it will slowly take on the form of the evolution of simulated life. ”

"Anthropomorphic life?" I was a little vague and confused.

The fat man explained: "For example, this fire, which is obviously not a mortal fire, but a different kind of fire, which, by chance, will evolve into a life-like form; For example, its essence is fire, not the lotus. ”

I nodded, a little bit I didn't seem to understand, but I could listen to it.

"In principle, alien fire is like life, there is no end to evolution, generally speaking, it will evolve into a plant form at the beginning, then an animal form, and even a demon into a human form." The fat man said again.

I was shocked when I heard it, could this fire lotus still turn into an animal, or even a human? This must be an evolution that can only exist in the age of mythology, far beyond one's imagination, too magical. It was an era that could never have been imagined in the era of the end of the law.

After a few more conversations, the topic gradually shifted to this trip to the Hanhai Desert.

After Sai Yuer arrived here with me, she left with the people of Nan****.

The Hanhai Demon Dragon returned to the sea, and the task of chasing it was naturally over, and no one could say what the next treasure hunting scene would become.

There is no doubt that Nan **** will naturally have some arrangements, but I am no longer suitable to participate, that Chen Xiongfei has some suspicions for me because of his grandfather's relationship; Sai Yuer also invited me, but I declined.

"This ghost desert, before it has officially entered, it is hot like this, the sky is wide and wide, where are you going?" Cao Nan covered a certain big straw hat, squinted at the endless yellow sand world in the distance, and frowned and asked.

"It is naturally impossible for the Hanhai Demon King to live in the yellow sand, and legend has it that its base camp is an ancient temple." Hu said, and said: "Although the Hanhai Demon King is a ghost, in the eyes of the people of the Western Regions at that time, it is not a ghost, but a god. That ancient temple was built for it. ”

"Building a temple for ghosts, isn't that ghost worship?" My heart jumped, people can worship heaven and earth and worship immortals, but they can't worship ghosts, violating the contract between humans and ghosts, they will be punished by God.

"What you said was the era of the end of the law, in the age of mythology or when the tide of the end of the law occurred, ghosts can also be worshipped, the so-called ghosts and gods refer to this, ghosts and gods are actually one. God is omnipotent, and ghosts are similar, and there is no essential difference between the two for worshippers. In fact, in the age of mythology, ghosts could also become gods. Hu Lai said again.

I suddenly nodded, and then asked, "Then who is worshipping the Hanhai Ghost King as a god?" ”

"I know this, it's an ancient country full of legends." Huang Mao smiled, sold a pass, and said, "Loulan." ”

I raised my eyebrows, it turned out to be the legendary ancient kingdom of Loulan.

It was a very small and powerful ancient country, built on the Yellow Sand Oasis, and was an important trade transit point on the ancient Silk Road, which was once extremely prosperous.

It arose in the Han Dynasty and perished in the Tang Dynasty.

Tang poet Wang Changling has a poem: Qinghai Changyun Dark Snow Mountain, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass. The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken.

Although Loulan was small, it dared to stand up to the powerful Han and Tang dynasties, and it was founded for nearly 800 years, outliving both the Tang and Han dynasties.

It's small, it's mysterious, but it's tough.

I never thought that this ancient country would worship ghosts; But when you think about it, it doesn't seem surprising that small ancient countries worshiped the moon and ghosts. Not only Loulan, but also the ancient Yue Kingdom, Yelang Kingdom, etc., this is not the Western Regions, but in the hinterland of the Eastern Soil, which is now the south of the Yangtze River.

In addition, there is also the Da Yue clan where Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions in history, which is also an ancient country that worships the moon and ghosts.

"This ghost worship is actually a gesture of surrender." Huang Mao said, and said: "Slowly, surrender turned into worship, and over time, after people get used to it, it doesn't matter what they worship, just ask the ghosts and gods not to bring down calamity." ”

I nodded, there is no difference between worshipping ghosts and worshipping gods.

God has mercy on the world and spreads blessings, and people worship it mostly for blessings and blessings, while worshipping ghosts is often more sad, just asking for ghosts not to bring down calamity, which is essentially a last resort compromise.

It's just that the gods have long disappeared in the era of the end of the law, but the ghosts exist, which is also the root cause of the ghosts to live in the temple.

Of course, these are for those small countries, but the big dynasties in the East do not exist, because this land has outstanding people, great powers, and Taoism and Buddhism.

Don't talk about living in temples, even if you go deep into the eastern soil, you will be thrown out, because all dynasties have similar to the Zongzhi Institute and rely on the official Dharma Agency, the Qin Dynasty is called Heimuya, the Han Dynasty is called Xiuyi Pavilion, the Tang Dynasty is called the bad people, the Ming Dynasty is called the Six Doors, and now it is called the Zongji Institute.

Although they have different names, their general function is the same, to prevent ghosts and evil spirits from stealing from the court and indiscriminately enforcing government decrees, thus causing disasters to the common people. This is also a microcosm of the struggle between humans and ghosts, each with its own territory, and it is not allowed to have too powerful ghost kings and ghost groups in the hinterland of the eastern soil.

They can only be entrenched in places such as the Northern Plains, the South Seas, and the Western Regions, which are far away from the hinterland of the Eastern Soil.

"After Loulan destroyed the country, the ancient temple sank under the vast yellow sand and disappeared." Huang Mao said, "If you can find that ancient temple, there is a chance that you will be able to find the treasure that the Hanhai Demon King has collected and treasured for thousands of years." ”

"Buried under the yellow sand, can't you still find it?" Cao Nan spread his hands.

Huang Mao rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "Nonsense, if we can still find it on the ground, won't it be over with the satellite directly?" ”

"Are you sure?" I looked at Hu Lai and the fat man. If you want to talk about what to look for, if Hu Lai and the fat man are helpless, then there are not many people to count on.

As a result, both of them shook their heads, and Hu Lai said: "This kind of thing is the specialty of tomb robbers." ”

I'm speechless, grave robber? Isn't that Gong Tianyang? There may have been a bit of drama before, but now ...... He and Bai Yu couldn't wait to eat us.

Besides, it was useless for me to stay here for the past few days to see Gong Tianyang Bai Yu and the others, and I don't know if I didn't stay here and went directly into the Hanhai Desert, or if I didn't come at all.

"Hehe, in addition to tomb robbers, there is also a leading party." At this time, Huang Mao snapped his fingers and the corners of his mouth raised.

I was slightly stunned, and then I was violently empowered.

That's right, so can the Belt and Road Party!

We don't know the exact location of the ancient temple, but those powerful ghosts and evil spirits under the Hanhai Demon King know, so we will arrest one and interrogate them.

But soon the question arises, where to find the Hanhai Demon King's men? I chased and killed all the way before, and I didn't think about this problem, so I didn't catch ghosts, and now it's a little troublesome.

I said the question, and Huang Mao smiled again, and said, "Do you say that the Hanhai Ghost King is now buried in the yellow sand as an ostrich, or will he send his subordinates to reconnoiter and investigate everywhere to determine the advance and retreat?" ”

"Of course it's the latter, isn't it waiting for death if you ignore it?" I said, if the ghost king is such a temperament, he doesn't know how many times he has been cold.

On the contrary, every ghost king has a mature and well-developed intelligence system; They have more information than people think.

When there is a stir, they are the first to react.

Otherwise, the young dragon would not have been targeted by the ghost king of Hanhai in southern Qiannan, and chased all the way to Jinpen Township, which can be called a great chase of tens of thousands of kilometers.

From this, I understood Huang Mao's plan.

Catch ghost spies at night!

But at the same time, a question also rose in my mind. Could the Hanhai Demon King not know about this loophole?

My gut tells me that this is not going so well.

But then again, it's better to get caught in the first trial than to wait, otherwise we will have nothing to do.
