Chapter 710: A Lost Civilization
Deep at the bottom of the lake, in the cobblestone earth, a man in white lies on a warm stone.
The stone is like white jade, which can nourish people's minds and nurture the Tao heart.
Above, a huge golden shadow kept wandering, roaring from time to time, but it never went deeper.
The oppressive figure made Bai Li Yanzhi suddenly nervous.
Although, she guessed that there was some kind of terrifying existence under this warm lake, which made the golden giant ape jealous and did not dare to make a big noise.
However, she could not rely on this unfounded speculation to pray for a passage through this catastrophe.
If, at a certain moment, the golden giant ape's patience ran out, he rushed down at once and opened that cursed eye, and the two of them would have no way to escape.
Tianyan closed his eyes tightly, immersed in the sea of knowledge, and looked at the surrounding ancient temple trees, which were golden and made of unknown stones.
Many Taoist figures, coming and going, wearing animal skins, some people are dressed in cloth shirts, their long hair is flowing, and their faces are religious.
They went in and out of the ancient temple and paid homage to the gods and goddesses, men and women, young and old.
Tian Yan stood in the crowd like a passerby, watching those people penetrate through his body, not noticing himself.
Tianyan pondered for a long time, and finally took the first step and stepped into an ancient temple.
Inside the temple, there are six statues of gods standing there, emitting a soft light that gives people an inviolable momentum.
Above, rays of sunlight fell, and a golden light shone on the temple, making it holy.
The children looked up at their immature faces, learned from adults, and prayed and worshiped seriously, hoping that the family wife would be peaceful and the weather would be smooth in all seasons.
"A fragment of history?" Tianyan muttered to himself.
Immediately, he took the second step, walked out of the temple, and came to the place where people lived.
Most of the people here live in houses made of stones, which seem to be hard and simple, not like the luxury and luxury of the outside world.
However, Tian Yan had a pair of discerning eyes, urging Zhihai, scanning those stone houses, and was surprised to find that these stones had an unusual mystery, and they were worth thousands of gold.
Tianyan picked up a stone, and it was warm when he started, and it changed with the change of the four seasons, warm in winter and cool in summer, which was by no means ordinary.
"If it is placed on the nine thousand continents, one stone is enough to arouse the covetousness of all the god kings. Tianyan was amazed.
Tianyan judged that this should be a fragment of time and space in the ancient period, that disappeared in the long river of history and lost civilization, and he was like a witness, witnessing the life of the people here during this time.
The world here is not big, at most it is equivalent to two continents outside the world, and more than a billion people live.
In the very center of the world, there are nearly 100 temples, releasing brilliant divine light, full of spirituality, and various visions are frequent.
From the periphery of the temple spread out the houses that people had built, like a huge circle, to defend the temple.
The people here all practice martial arts, and they are already masters at a young age, and the development of civilization is at its peak, and it is so brilliant that it is unimaginable.
Tianyan stayed in a certain temple for a few days, and after studying day and day, he finally determined that every temple and the person enshrined in it was a powerful ancient god!
And in the temple, the central creature enshrined is a prominent god!
Tianyan's heart trembled, this is really a terrible fact, nearly a hundred temples, dozens of supremes at the level of great gods, this kind of strong foundation is much higher than the ancient human race.
He stood on a huge peak, looking out, in the center of nearly a hundred temples, stood a golden palace, a red pillar of light, rushing into the sky, gathering the power of the ten directions in the world, suppressing luck and heritage.
"Is there an ancestral god in the Golden Palace?" Tianyan moved in his heart, feeling that this was really very possible.
However, out of caution, Tianyan did not leave immediately, but carefully observed this world land.
A few months later, Tianyan walked slowly, and if he wanted to break free from here, he was afraid that the only way to break free was to enter the golden palace and find out.
The surroundings of the golden palace were silent, and there was no one in sight.
Tianyan stayed for a long time, carefully observing the temple.
During this period of time, the surrounding temples were constantly visited, but in this palace, there were only a few supremes with extremely powerful breaths, who kowtowed step by step, bathed in divine light, with a pious face, and climbed nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine jade steps.
Tianyan's heart shook, this nation, aside from the strong heritage, just this pious attitude, up and down the same heart, the power of the mind, everyone has an atmospheric luck, even in ancient times, it is difficult for all races to conquer this nation.
"Why did such a strong and close-knit nation disappear into the long river of history?" Tianyan wondered.
They live in Taoyuan, do not interact with the outside world, are located in a mysterious place, there are great gods, ancestral gods to deceive the Dao machine, even if they are the great prophets of all races, working together and calculating together, I am afraid they cannot guess where the earth of this world is.
Too many doubts, loaded in Tianyan's heart, forced him to move on.
Approaching the Golden Palace, Tian Yan did not walk up the jade steps step by step like the others, but landed directly in front of the golden gate.
Tianyan's eyes froze, pushed open the golden door, and walked in.
The spacious hall, dozens of jade pillars towering, flashing with a crystal luster.
Ahead, a man sitting on the Immortal Throne with the Holy Fire Order in his left hand and the scepter in his right hand came into view of Tianyan.
He was like a lifeless god, made of gold and stones, nine feet tall, like a little giant.
The statue of the god looked ahead, his eyes were peaceful, and his face was smiling, and this kind of bearing, as if he looked at all the enemies in front of him, like ants, devastating and decaying, invincible in all directions.
He seems to be only in his thirties, not very old, but he is enshrined here, and his status is more noble than that of the great gods enshrined in the major temples.
"Junior Tianyan, see Your Majesty the Ancestral God!" Tianyan gave a serious salute and shouted.
If you are not mistaken, that person is the emperor of this nation, and he is also a powerful ancestral god, who shocks the ten directions and land, and is the supreme lord of this world.
In the main hall, it was very calm, and the statue of the god did not have anything unusual because of Tianyan's high drink.
Tianyan bent over and didn't look up the whole time.
I don't know how long it has passed, the pious supreme from the outside world has come batch after batch, the morning sun has risen again and again, the sun and the moon have changed, and the years have passed in an instant, and they are nowhere to be found.
"Young man, are you a statue like me?" Finally, the idol spoke, and his voice was rumbling, very peaceful, without the domineering spirit of swallowing heaven and earth.
"It's not. Tianyan replied.
"Why have you been in this position for so many days? Have you never thought that I am really just a sculpture?" asked the idol.
Tianyan smiled slightly, slowly raised his body, looked at the golden statue, and said, "The seniors have never spoken, out of respect, how can the juniors raise their heads?"
The Golden Idol was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Hehe, young man, you are very good, unlike the people who came before, for their own selfish desires, covetousness, they have done irreparable impulsive things. ”
Tianyan's expression moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that someone has been here before?"
"They are different from you, there are Sunset God Clan, Void Clan, White Feather Clan, Fire Sacrifice Clan, Black Demon and other clans. ”
"In all these years, you're the first Terran boy to arrive here. ”
"Why did the seniors bring the juniors here?"
"Then I have to ask you why you picked up that piece of rubble. The Golden Idol said.
Tianyan was stunned, choked by this sentence and had nothing to say.
"What is the purpose of the seniors in bringing us people in again and again?" Tianyan asked.
"You are like a witness, witnessing this nation, leaving early and returning late, a day of hard work, and I am like a guardian, worshiped by the world, defending our homeland. ”
"Just a witness?" Tianyan shook his head, thinking that it wouldn't be so simple.
The golden idol paused, and a divine flower shot out, presenting one picture after another.
A picture flew out, and some mixed fragments began to appear in Tianyan's eyes, which was the birth day of this nation.
The first creature landed on this land full of life, that person, the figure was blurred, exuding a powerful aura, like a bright sun, and the light shone in all directions.
With the passage of time and the change of the sun and the moon, that person picked up a piece of mud, fabricated a villain, and grew on the ground, and in a blink of an eye, he was already a teenager.
The picture stopped, and a word full of sadness came into Tianyan's ears.
"That person is my father, and I am the one who made up the mud, and the second person in this land who is full of life. ”
Tianyan was taken aback, he didn't expect that the history of this nation could be traced back to such a long time, and the man who was regarded as a true god had such a background.
The second picture appeared, and I don't know how long later, many creatures appeared in this world one after another, and they began to build houses, build temples, and worship the first gods who were born.
And the golden gods, the strongest, inherited half of their father's mana, were deified by the people, and lived in the golden palace.
The second picture appears, the ten strongest people drive between heaven and earth, educate and educate people, spread civilization, and begin a period of vigorous civilization development.
One picture after another, blinking in Tianyan's eyes, let him witness the history of the development of a civilization.
By the time of future generations, the civilization of this nation has been splendid to the extreme, and the peak has reached the top.
However, they still live in harmony, have been friendly for generations, have never committed heinous crimes, let alone bear ambitions, and live and work in peace and contentment.
The picture ended, and Tianyan didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Xanadu, who in the world can compare?" Tianyan murmured softly.
"That's right, our nation has lived here for generations, birth, old age, sickness and death, never complained about anything, coveted something, this beauty should last forever, immortal from generation to generation, but fate is like this, invisible, incomprehensible, unable to hold ........."
The tone of the golden idol was full of sadness and incomprehension, no resentment, no resentment, and the mourning of the destruction of the nation silently and alone.
"Why did the nation of our predecessors disappear into history, and it is even more called here, a cursed world?" asked Tianyan.
"It is the return of the sinful man who destroys everything, I witness the war and death, I can only increase in vain, my heart is sad, but I can't stop it, even if the flesh collapses, I can't protect it, the people I love the most ........."
"The wicked man has returned and destroyed everything............ Tianyan muttered, there was a lot of confusion, and he wanted to continue to ask, but when he saw the statue, he suddenly fell silent.
"Young man, when you preach, be sure to come to this place again, here there will be an opportunity waiting for you, but at that time, you must promise me one thing, that thing, which may kill you, and even your soul will not survive, weigh the pros and cons, you must think carefully. These were the last words of the Golden Statue, and as soon as these words were finished, the light of the entire hall became faint.
"Senior, please wait a minute!" Tianyan shouted, his footsteps stepped on, as if he was chasing the sun and the moon, shuttling through the starry sky, he felt that the time and space around him were changing, and there was a tearing pain in his body, as if the years were reversing.
..................
In the depths of Wenhu Lake, Tianyan, who was lying on a stone, let out a soft groan, which startled Baili Yanzhi's attention.
"My lord, how are you?" asked Bai Li Yanzhi with concern, her beautiful eyes full of worry.
Tianyan woke up, and Zhihai returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
"I'm fine. Tianyan was comforted, this time he witnessed it, so that he roughly guessed that this so-called cursed world has a series of mysteries and weirdness.
Although he still has some questions, when he returns here for the second time after his preaching, everything will be revealed.
