480. Miscalculation
The external manifestations of the dragon text and the immortal text are not the same, but they have a similar effect, the immortal text can make the person who practices Qi can understand the meaning without reading it, and the dragon text has the same effect on the dragon descendants.
This made Gu Bei connect the two at once.
But even if there is a commonality, the two are two completely different scripts, like a person at a fork in the road in two completely different directions.
The two are somewhat different in form, but their essence is the same.
This led Gu Bei to start thinking about the relationship between Lian Qi and the half-blood......
Wait, now is not the time to think about this kind of thing.
"Keep going, maybe there's something new." He turned and walked down the steps to the higher floors.
Fingal was not far behind.
Along the way, the two passed by more caves, each with a coffin parked in it.
Coffins of different textures.
Some were carved from whole granite, some with black iron, some with precious metals such as gold and silver, and there was not a single treasure that was not priceless - except for black iron.
Of course, there is another commonality between them.
Each coffin was fastened with iron hoops and chained in the cave.
Towering dragon cypress trees, giant snakes that repeatedly molt, coffins all over the mountains, and unverifiable bones......
As the legend describes, the island has both life and death, with the dragon cypress and the serpent being "life" and the coffin and bones being "death".
Life and death, two diametrically opposed concepts, strike a balance on this eerie island.
"Boss, have you heard of the Valley of the Kings?" Fingal asked.
Gu Bei shook his head.
He wasn't interested in attractions or anything like that, and even when he traveled, he cared more about exotic food.
But it doesn't matter if he doesn't know, Fingal knows.
"The Valley of the Kings was the main burial area for the pharaohs and nobles of the New Dynasty in ancient Egypt, with 64 pharaohs buried in the valley, and beneath the heavily weathered surface is a golden grotto containing mummy kings wrapped in gold...... Could this be the Valley of the Dragon King?" Fingal asked.
In this way, it does look like a Valley of the Kings.
But if it is more true, in fact, compared to the Valley of the Kings in ancient Egypt, Gu Bei is more inclined to ancient Rome - after all, the building structure here is too much like the Colosseum of ancient Rome.
The surrounding stone walls are a circular structure like the Colosseum, and the seats that should have housed the nobles have been replaced by the kings' caves, whose souls still seem to sit on the mountain walls, overlooking the Colosseum......
If you think about it this way, the beasts in the Colosseum are not Gu Bei and Fingal?
Gu Bei grabbed his hair, and suddenly felt that he was being scolded invisibly.
"I see what you mean." Gu Bei nodded, "Are you saying that these kings were the incarnation of a certain dragon king during their lifetimes, and this dragon king is the master of this Nibelungen, and he will collect his bones after he ends his life as a human being...... But this inference is not true."
Gu Bei denied Fingal's speculation.
"Do you remember the two granite cut-out coffins we just saw?" Gu Bei asked.
Fingal nodded, "I'm impressed, among so many coffins of precious metals, granite and black iron are the most conspicuous."
Gu Bei pointed out: "Although I am not good at archaeology, those two coffins are obviously products of the same period, and even some of the details of the carvings are almost the same.
Fingal pondered, "But the dragon kings are both twins, is it possible that the two kings ruled together at that time, so that it can also explain why the two coffins are of the same size."
Gu Bei shook his head: "Even if the two kings rule together, there must be a distinction between primary and secondary, it is impossible to use exactly the same specifications, those two coffins are obviously two kings of the same person, and even the carvings are probably the same period and the same civilization existed at the same time
King of Two Kingdoms...... Taking a step back, if it was really the twin kings who were twins, they should have been placed in the same mausoleum or cave, but in fact they were not only separated, but there was also a other coffin in between, which shows that they were not very connected."
"Explain it with this...... Isn't that far-fetched?" The corners of Fingal's mouth twitched.
Gu Bei sighed, "Haven't you noticed yet?"
"Notice what?" Fingal was puzzled.
Gu Bei pointed to the steps under his feet and the cave beside him: "Time is still in order."
He asked, "The first coffin we saw was ......."
"The golden coffin." Fingal replied.
Gu Bei nodded: "That coffin should be something from the Sumerian period among the two civilizations, it is the oldest recorded human civilization, probably around 4000 BC, when iron smelting was not invented, but gold was more readily available...... What about the coffin after that?"
Black Iron ......
"Hittite civilization, in 2000 B.C., the ancient Hittite Empire swept through Asia Minor with powerful iron swords...... And after that?"
"I don't remember exactly...... Granite?"
"That's a step back...... The granite is supposed to be a product of the New Kingdom period in ancient Egypt, as evidenced by the bird inscription on the coffin, which should be around 1500 BC...... Have you found out now?"
"Time and order......," Fingal realized, "You mean that the coffins are in the order of time of their death?"

Gu Bei nodded: "The time it takes for a dragon to hatch once can be calculated for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is impossible for the same dragon king to hatch twice in the same period, in other words, the coffins of those two dragons of the same period are definitely not the remains of the same dragon king."
Fingal also smoothed out the logic at this time and understood what Gu Bei meant.
And if you look at it according to this logic, the argument that the same dragon king is reincarnated differently is self-defeating.
"And who are the bones in these coffins?" Fingal wondered, "Who is the owner of this island?" Why did he collect the coffins of so many people?"
Gu Bei rolled his eyes: "You ask me, who do I ask?"
"But there's probably one thing you just said." Gu Bei looked around, "It's not certain if this is the Dragon King Valley, but it is indeed possible that this is the King Valley."
Based on the level of manufacture of those coffins, these coffins may indeed be kings, or king-level figures.
In other words, it is a museum of imperial bones that are never open to the public.
The two finally reached the highest point of the mountain wall.
As far as the eye can see, the sea water is constantly slightly undulating, the sky is always the same color, and the surroundings are always half-light and half-dark, like morning and evening.
Looking back at the center of the island, the fog has disappeared into Stonehenge, and even the towering dragon cypress trees are only exposed to the fog from the treetops.
Everything is somewhere between the real and the unreal.
Standing here, it is as if you have reached the end of the world, and you suddenly feel disgusted with the world, and you want to sit down and breathe slowly, and then you will be transformed into a stone statue.
Even Fingal, who had always been out of tune, was shocked by the beauty of this moment.
"I don't know how many people have been here since ancient times." Fingal muttered.
Gu Bei was slightly stunned: "Do you remember what Vincent said?"
Fingal was also stunned for a moment, and he immediately understood what Gu Bei meant: "Vincent said...... "Christmas on December 25 every year is the official working time of this ship, and the rest of the time is only used to confirm the route"......
Gu Bei looked at the unchanging scenery in the distance: "In other words, does he mean that it is only possible to find this island on this route every Christmas?"
Fingal nodded, "That's right, after all, Vincent's true purpose
TO FIND AVALOON TO RESURRECT HIS HEAD, WHICH MEANS THAT THIS IS HIS TRUE PURPOSE AND THE TRUE JOB OF THE YAAL...... Wait, it's ...... today."
Fingal pulled out his phone and looked at it.
February 13th, tomorrow is Valentine's Day.
"The time is not right...... Gu Bei gnawed on the thumbnail of his right hand, his brows furrowed, "If it is true that he only opens the door every Christmas, then why do we see it at the wrong time today?"
It's problematic, it's so problematic.
RECALLING THE CAUSE AND EFFECT OF THE TWO ENTERING AVALON, THEY FIRST TOOK OVER THE MISSION TO EXPLORE THE ICE SEA, AND THEN FOLLOWED THE MISSION TO THE YAAL, INVESTIGATED VINCENT ACCORDING TO THE ADDITIONAL MISSION, AND LEARNED OF THE EXISTENCE OF AVALON, AND THEN THERE WAS THE ELECTROMAGNETIC STORM, THE ELEMENTAL TURBULENCE, THE SKIRT OF THE GODDESS, WHICH CHANGED COURSE AND SMASHED THE GIANT ICEBERG OF THE ICE FLOE.
So Vincent couldn't find the way for many years, so he appeared in front of them so suddenly.
These piles of coincidences are like gears that are precisely fitted together on a machine, and no matter which one is missing, they will not be able to enter Avalon so smoothly.
But it was precisely because of this that Gu Bei felt a little chilled.
What a coincidence, everything is too coincidental.
It was only at this time that Gu Bei realized that there was some kind of error in his judgment, he had always thought that Avalon, as the Nibelungen, would be the stage set up by the mastermind behind the scenes, but in fact he was wrong.
In the hands of those who can control their destiny, the world itself is the stage.
Gu Bei came here according to fate, so fate didn't give him any warning, as if he should come here and then greet his own ......
Death.
Gu Bei grinned, but felt that things were starting to get interesting.
Although he has always shown a strategizing attitude, only he knows how boring his life will be if a person can foresee everything, and Gu Bei hates boredom.
He yearns for peace, but that doesn't mean he can accept boredom.
After all, he is a person who is looking for "fun" at heart, and now that there is finally another person standing outside the chess game like him, how can he not be happy and excited about it?
The other party had already set up the chess game, and together with fate, they led Gu Bei into a trap, in other words, they had prepared a "surprise" for Gu Bei.
"Fingal," Gu Bei smiled, "Did you hear the singing?"
"Singing?" Fingal listened, "No."
"yes, you can't hear me...... But that's normal." Gu Bei stood up straight and opened his arms facing the sea, "That's ...... Whale Song."
Along with his words, Fingal also heard an ethereal singing, a song that was so vast that it was like the chant of a god that mortals heard far from the temple.
This is not only a whale song, but also a spirit of words!
The junction of heaven and sea in the distance suddenly lit up, as if a blazing flame had been ignited with a "poof".
This island, where there is no passage of time and no change of day and night, seems to be about to sunrise.
The glimmer of light expanded so quickly that soon half of the sky turned golden, and the cyan clouds were completely engulfed in light.

The wind began to blow on the island at some point, and the wind swept the fallen leaves all over the ground, and all the dragon cypress trees writhed in the wind, as if a group of wild dragons were waking up from the petrified state, and the leaves fell one after another, as if rolling snow.
The light became more and more intense, emitting extreme light and extreme heat, which burned Fingal's face.
Fingal didn't dare to look directly at the light anymore, so he could only look down at the island.
He saw the giant snakes that sinking around the island reappeared, their scales reflecting the fierce light of rivers of fire, changing colors as if they would burn at any moment.
They split up and hid in the stone caves where the coffins were kept, huddled tightly in a ball.
Now that I think about it, they were at the time
Fleeing is not to fear Gu Bei or Fingal, for a giant snake of their size, even a tiger and lion is just a meal in the belly, far from the level of fear that makes them feel afraid.
What they are really afraid of is the fact that someone has landed on the island.
Because that meant that the Nibelungen master would also return to the island, and every time he appeared with such light and heat, it would probably be the day of the destruction of the world for the serpents.
They came to the seashore and crossed the deep blue sea of ice into the blue waves of Avalon, and the whole sea was dyed red, and the sky was filled with fire, and the sea seemed to be churning with flames.
The wind blew from the sea to the island, and the waves of a man high repeatedly rushed towards the island, looking like a line of burning lancers!
Gu Bei finally saw the fire clearly!
It was a huge whale.
The largest whale in the world is the blue whale, which has changed in length to 33 meters, the length of the YAAL is nearly five times that of the blue whale, 150 meters long, and the whale that appeared in front of Gu Bei and Fingal is even much longer than the YAAL.
He was even bigger than the Avalon under the feet of Gu Bei and Fingal!
He exudes the aura of the ancient, as if he has swam from the long river of history.
And the source of the fire is not the whale itself.
The light of the fire came from a lantern.
On the back of the whale stood a man, a mummified man dressed in tight white, and behind him, a coffin was parked, and the light that was so strong that it seemed like the sun was rising, came from the lantern in the hand of the man in white!
This scene, like the "Island of Death" in Vincent's collection, has the only difference that the man in white in the painting is riding a small boat, while the man in white in front of him is also riding an incomparably huge whale.
No, that's not a whale, that's a dragon king.
One of the twin sons of Aquaman and the Lord of Water - Leviathan.
And the man in white, the moment he saw him, Gu Bei understood why he had a plausible sense of familiarity with the man in white in the painting of "Island of Death".
It wasn't the person who really made him feel familiar.
It's the white robe.
This is clearly the dress of the heroic spirit under Odin's command.
And the person in white in front of him is also Gu Bei's old acquaintance.
"It's been a long time...... Well, it won't be too long......" Gu Bei looked at the man in white, "Uncle Chu, you should go back with me obediently this time, right?" Chu Zihang called you home for dinner."
