Chapter 395: The Atonement Desert
The moment he left the Forest of Skulls, the last rays of light on the horizon sank into the horizon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When looking at the end of the earth, Wang Ye faintly saw a fiery and bright tail slowly sinking under the earth, as if some huge creature like the sun had sunk into the end of the world.
Then, a white behemoth can be seen slowly crawling out of the western horizon, stepping on the hazy clouds of smoke, climbing above the sky, and finally entrenched in a round of discs, turning into bright moonlight, illuminating the wilderness of the night suburbs.
"Oh my God, it's incredible. Jo Jasmine couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at this magical view.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Wang Ye squinted as he walked out of the edge of the Skull Forest, his footsteps lightly stepping on a piece of blazing sand. The baking heat of the day has not yet dissipated, and the ground is still exposed to a high temperature of up to 40 degrees, and the whole foot board will feel hot and baked when you step on it.
"The day, and the moon. Wang Ye looked up at the white giant beast in the firmament: "Maybe it hasn't been a planet since ancient times, nor is it a stone floating in the universe. They are living beings, with a life countless times longer than any living being, with a stable routine that cannot be shaken by thunder and hundreds of millions of years, so they have achieved the day and moon and night in the world. ”
"I can't imagine...... There will be such a huge creature...... I don't think the people of the world who live on earth have ever heard of it. Jo Jasmine sighed.
"Perhaps, on the contrary, they have long known, even known, the names of these creatures as eternal as time, and have forever engraved them in the ancient texts. Wang Ye said leisurely: "It's just that the proud and ignorant modern people of later generations do not know how to cherish these ancient truths, and use a so-called scientific explanation to deceive themselves and all the people of the world." I don't know, the truth they see may just be what a certain high-ranking being wants them to see, a thorough-Truman's world. ”
"You mean that anyone in the world has ever heard of these unimaginably large beasts?" Qiao Jasmine exclaimed.
"Of course, and it's right here in China. Wang Ye turned his head and said, "Otherwise, what do you think the 'four elephants' recorded in the classical books refer to?"
Qiao Jasmine was slightly stunned, and suddenly gasped.
"You mean ......"
The word "four elephants" comes from the "Yi Chuan", which refers to the meaning of the four seasons of the heavenly phenomena in ancient times, and then there are old yin, less yin, less yang, and the old yang, the green dragon table is less yang, the white tiger table is less yin, the Xuanwu table is old yin, and the Vermilion Bird table is old yang. Wang Ye said in a deep voice: "The ancient texts are all passed down here, so the world is also using their understanding to interpret these ancient divine works, some people use the stars to interpret them, and some people use metaphysics to analyze, but they don't know that the ancients had pure thoughts, and their expressions were far less complicated." ”
Wang Ye said as he pointed to the horizon in the distance.
"In fact, the four elephants are the four major life forms that make up our existence in the world, the blue sky we see is the color reflected by the scales of the green dragon, the earth we step on is on the carapace of the Xuanwu, the sun we see during the day is the light emitted by the blazing body of the red bird, and the moon and stars we see at night are the bright and quiet brilliance of the white tiger. The landslide earthquake is the reaction of Xuanwu when he moves his body or sheds dead skin, the wind and rain are the pores of the green dragon in exhausting and sweating, the scorching sun is the height of the red bird's flight is a few points lower, and the moon star is rare is the different appearance of the white tiger's mood change. Have you ever wondered that the truth of the world is like this? ”
Wang Ye slowly turned his head: "In front of these huge lifeforms, even the supreme dragon clan in the wilderness seems so small, let alone us. ”
Qiao Jasmine looked at Wang Ye with heavy breathing, she felt that her understanding of physics and astronomy had been completely subverted at this moment.
"Who the hell are you?" Jo Jasmine asked in amazement, "Why...... Will you know that?"
"yes...... Who am I...... Why do you know these ......" Wang Ye squinted his eyes and shook his head slightly, in fact, he hadn't had these things in his mind until they walked out of the Skull Forest.
And when he saw the tail light of the Suzaku flying below the horizon and the white tiger entrenched in the night sky, these contents suddenly appeared in his mind. He faintly saw a majestic and kind elder, sitting in a pavilion full of books, telling him about this profound and distant knowledge. At that time, he listened with relish, like a child who did not understand the world.
Memory restoration surgery, is this really the picture he once remembered?
Whenever he thinks of this, Wang Ye will have a very contradictory sense of collision in his mind, those memories are indeed very valuable, and he wants to find out if he has a different life. But when he thinks back to those memories, another strange sense of detachment will come over him clearly, making him feel as if he is slowly losing himself.
A rare headache hit his brain, he closed his eyes and frowned slightly, and slowly squatted down with one hand on his head in severe pain.
"Are you alright?" asked Josmine worriedly.
"It's fine. Wang Ye shook his head bitterly: "We have to hurry, at least before dawn to the first small oasis, otherwise we will end up like those guys the next day." ”
He pointed to the sand dunes not far away, where he could see a huge dinosaur-like skeleton standing silently.
"The Tyrannosaurus is a dinosaur-based carnivorous creature at the higher end of the food chain in the Skull Forest, and I think the reason why it became that way was only because it ran out of the Skull Forest by mistake and ran to this Atonement Desert while chasing its prey. Wang Ye said very seriously.
"Was it some other creature that was more terrible that killed it?" asked Jo Jasmine.
"No, there are very few creatures in the Atonement Desert, and most of them live underground, and do not climb to the ground during the day. Wang Ye said in a deep voice: "It was not killed, but roasted alive by the scorching sun." ”
Wang Ye raised his head and said, "Do you know why this place is called the 'Atonement Desert'? Because this was a penal colony for condemned prisoners in the past, and during the day, when the scorching sun was at its thickest, the temperature on the surface of the earth could reach hundreds of degrees Celsius, and most creatures could not survive in such high temperatures for a few minutes, let alone vulnerable humans." Therefore, the human beings who are exiled here can only atone for their sins with their lives. ”
"You mean, there were humans here too?" Qiao Jasmine's eyes widened, "Is it a trialist?"
"I don't know. Wang Ye shook his head: "But if you arrive at the place mentioned on your map, you may know some answers." ”
As he spoke, he beckoned: "Let's go, we still have to hurry." ”
"Don't worry. Qiao Jasmine smiled and said, "Since we have reached the flat ground, our speed will not be a problem." ”
As she spoke, she took out a contract card from her ring, which was different from the contract card Wang Ye had ever seen, it was a round medal-like thing with a contract pattern on it.
"This is something that can be bought at the store in the city after you have been promoted to the middle city. Jasmine Joe introduced, "The mount token, a summoning token dedicated to the mount contract. ”
As she spoke, she threw the token into the air, and a small climbing plow pulled by three hounds appeared in front of Wang Ye.
"Get in the car. Qiao Jasmine looked at Wang Ye and smiled.
