The two of them in the secret realm rested overnight after eating hot pot, and in this environment, Hua Zhenxing did not practice the Jinggong of the Yuan Cultivation Technique, and in the early hours of the morning, he got up and seriously did three complete sets of exercises. Ding Qi watched him practice with interest, and then asked him what he was practicing? Hua Zhenxing did not hide it, and gave him a detailed introduction to the Yuan Cultivation Technique, and even talked about the content of the dream.

In the morning, the two of them continued on their way, passing through the burial ground and soon reaching the end of this world. The world itself seems to have no end, the distance is shrouded in hazy fog and can't see really, no matter how far you go, it seems to be still in place, and when you look back, it's really still in place! This secret realm has an invisible boundary.,You can't get out of it when you get here.。。

Ding Qi deliberately didn't remind him, just stood there and watched, Hua Zhen walked for a long time and felt that something was wrong before turning around, and then found this unexplained phenomenon, and said in surprise: "What's going on?" ”

Ding Qi smiled: "You are very adaptable, you didn't faint in fright?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "If I fainted, then I would have fainted many times!" Growing up in Philoso, he is indeed very adaptable, and after the recent "system", his "threshold" for all kinds of magical things has improved a lot. In his consciousness, the world seems to be as if everything is possible, so let's see it first.

Ding Qi said slowly: "You have a good mentality, curious but not confused, even if you don't understand something, you don't think it's impossible." Judging by gravity, magnetic field, atmospheric composition, and pressure, this place should still be the environment of this planet. But I can't tell you what this place is, especially if I can't tell you, so I can only take you to witness it......"

On this day, they also discovered the site of gold mining and smelting near the northernmost part of the secret realm, which had been abandoned for at least a hundred years. Locals used to mine ore on site and use the oldest methods to refine gold. This area is a bonanza of gold, and Tinch cracked a few rocks with a stick and found natural nuggets the size of pigeon's eggs, of high purity.

As far as can be seen in the secret realm, the most cherished artifacts of the inhabitants here should be horn and bone tools, followed by exquisite faience pottery, then ordinary pottery and gold vessels, and the most common are wood and stone tools. In fact, the processing of gold is much more difficult than that of pottery, and it has been reduced to the same status as ordinary pottery.

Probably because of the lack of efficient fuel and backward technological means, pottery is very precious, and pottery is easy to break, and gold immortality can be preserved for a long time, so there is a large amount of historical preserving, and in this world, gold has become similar to ordinary pottery.

In the afternoon, the two returned to the portal where they had first entered, and Ding Qi pointed to the rock wall behind the altar and said, "Now we can decipher these frescoes, which record the history of a tribe, and this tribe has no written ......"

There are five huge murals here, all of which are made of gold inlaid into the mountain rocks, including the scene of the hidden gate of the outside world, and two on the left and right. The first one on the left shows many people kneeling in front of the gate of the Divine Hide, as if they were doing some kind of ritual. In the second picture on the left, someone is holding a short staff-like object aloft and leading a team into the Hidden Gate.

The first picture on the right is the outline of the city seen yesterday, with a striking platform in the middle of the city. The second picture on the right, showing the altar, with someone standing on the altar holding something aloft and the rest kneeling below.

According to what I have seen in the past two days and then analyzed according to the map, the Hidden Gate should be a natural totem worshiped by a tribe living in the outside world in ancient times, and the method of opening the secret realm should only be mastered by priests. About 500 years ago, for some unknown reason, all this tribe moved into the secret realm.

About 300 years ago, the city in the secret realm had already taken shape, and a high platform in the "royal palace" was built. About 200 years ago, they built an altar here and left these five frescoes. The stone building on a nearby hillside may have been the dwelling place of the priesthood and their servants.

By this time the tribe had reached its peak and gradually began to decline. About 100 years ago, the population of the area was suddenly and dramatically reduced, until it was completely extinct 50 years ago.

After listening to Ding Qi's interpretation, Hua Zhenxing seemed to say to himself: "What is going on here? ”

Dingch: "I don't know. There is a relatively independent environment, as well as an atmosphere and water cycle, and there may also be some form of material exchange with the outside world, which can maintain a relative equilibrium. But these people are closed in this world, and although they are not disturbed by the outside world, they will also have internal problems.

It may be a civil war, or it may be a plague, but in short, it has led to a sharp decline in the population, the loss of a lot of knowledge and skills, and the deterioration of the environment, moving from one balance to another, making them no longer adapt.

Populations are declining and civilizations are declining, resulting in weaker viability, loss of genetic diversity, and eventual extinction. Therefore, a tribe, a country, or a civilization may not necessarily progress in history, and may also die out. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Then they can't leave here, or the descendants have already left?" ”

Ding Qi shook his head and sighed, "They didn't leave, because they couldn't leave. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Since you can come in, why can't you get out?" ”

Tinch: "I guess when this altar was built two hundred years ago, no one knew how to get out. The inhabitants of this place have never seen the outside world, and only regard it as a kind of legend. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the skeleton kneeling on the altar and said, "He should be the last person here, and he holds the key to open the portal, but unfortunately he can't use it anymore." He wanted to go out, so he could only kneel here and pray to the gods......"

Hua Zhenxing: "I obviously have a key, why can't I use it?" ”

Ding Qi bent down and pulled the short staff out of the bone's hand, blew lightly, the dust stains were gone, and handed it to Hua Zhenxing: "You take it, see if you can open the door!" ”

Hua Zhenxing took the short cane and gestured for a long time but couldn't figure it out, he tried to investigate it with his divine sense and felt that this thing was unfathomable, as if it contained incomprehensible information, and finally shook his head helplessly: "I won't use this thing either...... Hey, no, you didn't get it when you came in. ”

Ding Qi smiled faintly: "This is my unique skill, which is equivalent to having a master key." Of course, if you have the exclusive treasure of this secret realm, it will be more convenient to enter and exit, and you can control this world, do you want to learn? ”

Hua Zhenxing was familiar with this expression, and every time Old Man Yang wanted to tease him to learn something, he often showed such a smile. Hua Zhenxing nodded and said, "I want to learn!" Can you teach me? ”

Ding Qi: "It's not easy to learn this skill! But one day, when you are successful in your cultivation and hold this treasure of controlling the world, you can even become the master of this world. ”

Hua Zhenxing also smiled: "What is there to dominate in this world?" I'm just interested in your skills, what is the particularity and how long do you need to cultivate? ”

Ding Qi's tone was unfathomable: "This can be said for sure, it depends not only on your qualifications, but also on whether you have no distractions, you may not be able to enter the door for a lifetime, and it may be possible to become successful in less than ten years...... In short, we must live in this secret realm all year round and comprehend this world with the help of the treasure of the control world. In this way, this secret realm will be given to you, and the treasure of the Realm of Control is also yours! ”

Hua Zhenxing hurriedly handed the horned staff back, waved his hand again and again, and said, "I'm just following up to increase my knowledge, how can I take this place for myself?" ”

Ding Qi smiled again: "I'm just here to investigate, and I can't take this place away." Since you are so attached today, even if I give you a gift, you can consider it as a reward. ”

It turns out that the so-called reward of the system is ultimately given to him in this way. Hua Zhenxing admitted that he was also a little entangled in his heart, but he still shook his head and said, "I don't want to." ”

Ding Qi looked at him with some surprise and asked, "You can't ask for it, or you don't want it, or you don't dare to ask for it?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Teacher Ding, you and I are not related, it is the first time we meet, you give me such a secret realm, I really can't accept it!" ”

Ding Qi said step by step: "There is no owner here, you may be able to become the lord of the kingdom of God." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "What kind of kingdom of God, this is just a tomb!" ”

Ding Qi: "Isn't it a waste to throw such a secret realm here for nothing?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Don't you see the outside, you can buy the boss a piece of ownerless wilderness for tens of thousands of meters of gold, and you can also develop and use it well...... If you want to say waste, so much gold is indeed a bit wasteful, and if you take it out, you can do a lot of things......"

Ding Qi interrupted him, "Since you don't like it here, let's go out first." ”

Hua Zhenxing pointed to the skeleton on the altar and said, "Can you take him out too?" This man wanted to leave before he died, and it was better to take him outside for burial than to expose his body here. We take what he has in his hand, and we have to do something for him, and there is nothing more important for the deceased than to fulfill his wish in life. ”

Ding Qi looked at the horn staff in his hand and said, "Good boy, your idea is good, but you can't." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Why not?" ”

Ding Qi explained, "This short staff is not only the key to open the portal, but also the hub to control this world, which I call the treasure of the world. Although the treasure is good, if it falls into the hands of ordinary people, it is just an ordinary handicraft.

If you learn my unique secret method and master the treasure of controlling the realm, after cultivating Xiaocheng, you can open the portal to enter and exit, and you can also bring things from the outside in. But if you want to bring out the original things inside, you have to have the Dacheng realm. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "What is Xiaocheng and what is Dacheng?" ”

Ding Qi pondered and said: "Let's take the analogy of the Yuan Cultivation Technique you cultivated, if you break through above the third level, you can be regarded as a small success; Breaking through above the sixth level, according to you, becoming a high-level Yuan Cultivation Technique master is a great achievement. ”

After Dacheng, you can control this world with the treasure of controlling the world, and if you don't want to, even I won't be able to enter. But even so, if you want to take what is in this place out, you will have to pay a price. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "What price?" ”

Ding Qi: "Have you heard of the dimensional wall?" ”

Hua Zhenxing was slightly stunned: "I've heard of it, I saw it in novels and comics." ”

Ding Qi: "You just think of this portal as a kind of dimensional wall, how can it be so simple to break the dimensional wall?" Here is a world that has its own will, the rules of all things. Whatever you take from here is equivalent to cutting off a part of this world, and you yourself will have to suffer the wound of a broken soul.

If this person is still alive, I can open the door and let him go out on his own. But he's dead, and even if I had the ability to take him out, I'd have to suffer the wounds of severing my soul, and if I kept doing that, I'd be an idiot sooner or later. I'm just here to investigate, and I don't plan to do anything about the world. ”

Hua Zhenxing realized that the things in the secret realm could not be taken out without great skills, and even if they could be taken out, they would have to pay a great price, he sighed and said: "Those golden ......"

Ding Qi's smile seemed to be a little ill-intentioned, as if he was tempting a child to make a mistake: "If you learn my unique secret method and can cultivate it to perfection, you can naturally move the gold out here." It's nothing more than some divine soul injury, if the injury is not serious, it can still be recuperated and recovered, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Spend so much money and practice so much ability, just to suffer this sin?" With this kind of work, it is better to find a place outside to open a gold mine. ”

Ding Qi: "Then you might as well think about it the other way, why take things out, when the whole world is yours, you can even call the wind and rain here, wouldn't it be happy?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "I didn't want to be the king behind closed doors, let alone in a tomb." ”

Ding Qi: "It's not interesting to say that, let's go out first." Obviously, Hua Zhenxing didn't like the atmosphere here, but for some reason, Ding Qi always wanted to urge him to go out at the moment.

Hua Zhenxing waved his hand, pointed to the skeleton and said, "Since it's not good to take him out, let's bury him here." ”

Ding Qi did not stop it, and took the initiative to help, and the two moved the skeleton to the bottom of the hillside, dug a pit to bury it, and built a tomb with a stone, and then turned around and left the legendary kingdom of the gods.

When he opened the portal again, Hua Zhenxing had been carefully watching Ding Qi's movements, only to see that he was holding the horn staff a little forward, and the mountain wall in the middle of the altar suddenly disappeared, and in front of him was a passage between two huge rocks, and the outside world was as far as the eye could see.

Walking out of the portal and turning back, it is still the mountains and fields in reality, and the secret realm of Fang Cai has disappeared. Ding Qi smiled again and asked, "Isn't it magical?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Amazing, amazing!" ”

Ding Qi narrowed his eyes: "Look at your reaction, it seems that you still remember what happened just now?" ”

Hua Zhenxing wondered: "Of course I remember, we buried the remains together just now." ”

Ding Qi was surprised: "From last night after eating hot pot to now, do you always remember what happened?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Of course I remember, we went around the secret realm again today." ”

Ding Qi: "Then you still remember what I asked you in front of the portal very clearly?" ”

Hua Zhenxing was puzzled: "Teacher Ding, what's wrong with you, what's so strange about this?" ”

Ding Qi smiled bitterly: "There are some things I didn't tell you, I planned to wait for you to come out, but I almost made a fuss." ”
