Chapter 310: There's nothing else to do now anyway
On the other hand, Ling Ruo didn't know what happened to Li Weitian and them at all.
At this time, she was struggling with one thing, whether to enter the underground space to investigate. However, until now, she still hasn't figured out what those sudden deaths are all about, and if she goes in like this, she is afraid that she will die and she will not understand.
She had already seen the square in the center of the ancient city, and found no body that had died suddenly.
If you look at the exit locations of those underground spaces, it's hard to see any pattern between them.
But when they were all reflected in Ling Ruo's sea of consciousness and formed a three-dimensional map, after a closer look, you could find that their distribution was regular.
These triangular buildings faintly form three concentric circles centered on the central square of the ancient city, each with nine exits, evenly distributed.
And each circle falls right in the middle of each layer of the underground space.
These distributions were apparently planned at the very beginning of the creation of this ancient city.
That's a lot of money! What is the purpose of the people who built the city?
Generally, the construction of a city is nothing more than for people to live in. But where have the city's natives gone? Looking at the scale of the buildings in this ancient city, there will definitely be no fewer people living here, and these many people are now leaving no trace at all, as if they disappeared out of thin air overnight.
"The strangest thing is that the natives of the ancient city did not leave a single corpse! The corpses in the city now are obviously left behind by the monks who later explored. And the shape does not match the buildings in the ancient city. Judging from the remaining buildings, this ancient city could not be built overnight, and it may take years or decades to build such a scale, and in the process, it is impossible for no one to die! ”
Ling Ruo stayed in the mortal world for a few months, which can be regarded as supplementing a lot of knowledge that he didn't know when he was an immortal. For example, mortals have a short lifespan, so there will definitely be places for the dead near the long-term settlements of ordinary mortals.
Before entering the secret realm, Ling Ruo received some compensation from her original uncle, Ling Wenwu's family, and she thought that she could break the cause and effect between this body and the original parents, but it didn't.
Later, under the guidance of the tenant Rong Yue, she went to the grave of her original parents to pay respects, and only then did she completely end the cause and effect of both parties.
Therefore, Ling Ruo knew that mortals had a lot of respect for the deceased, and if they had the ability, the bones of the corpse after death would definitely be dealt with solemnly.
When he was around the city before, Ling Ruo's divine sense was fully open, and he could not only detect the situation inside the city, but also the situation near the outside of the city.
Now that I think about it, there is no such thing as a cemetery near the ancient city.
There are no living people, and there are no dead people......
Could it be that this ancient city is not a "city" for people to live in at all?
Ling Ruo instantly broke out in a cold sweat, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there seemed to be so much reasonableness?!
She seems to have preconceived ideas again! When you see a building, you think it's for people to live in, but who says that a building must be for people to live in!
After having this bold guess, Ling Ruo's mind seemed to be illuminated by a light, and many things became understandable.
"Now that I think about it, these buildings are too strange! My home in Li'an Town has a hall house, a wing room, a stove room, and a yard back garden! These buildings are all planned, take the house as an example, because the use is different, the size is also different, the largest is the hall house, the smallest is the stove room. But here, these houses, which I thought were inhabitants, are built like lattices! And it's dense, if the natives here are really as tall as I expected, shouldn't there be enough space between each house to enter and exit? What kind of house is this, the earthen cage for the beasts is almost the same! ”
Ling Ruo suddenly remembered something again.
Before he officially came here, Li Weitian had always called this place the "Divine War Ruins". He hadn't been here before, and he was obviously influenced by someone else.
This person is undoubtedly Li Shen, the ancestor of the Li family who came here.
However, when they arrived here, they immediately called it "the ancient city" in their hearts.
If he mentioned this place to others in the future, Ling Ruo would definitely tell others that this was an "ancient city".
After all, compared to the "relics of the divine war", the "ancient city" is more appropriate. When it comes to the relics of the Divine War, what most people think of in their minds is the kind of wilderness where the fierce battle has made potholes.
Why is Li Shen called that?
Could it be that the Li family is actually mispositioned, and this is not the relics of the Divine War that Li Shen found back then?
Or could Li Shen know through the false appearance that this was not an ancient city in essence?
The more Ling Ruo thought about it, the more confused he became.
The biggest question facing Ling Ruo at the moment is: If this is not an ancient city for people to live in, then what kind of place is this?
The first answer that Ling Ruo thought of was the formation. These buildings are actually used to set up formations.
However, when she first guessed the possibility of sudden death in the ancient city, Ling Ruo had imagined that there would be a large formation in it, and later when she checked it with her divine sense, she paid special attention to whether there were any traces of the remaining formations, but there were none.
The three major elements of the formation: the eyes, the feet, and the line, all need to have aura, and the earthen walls of these buildings don't look like they have aura!
It's bald!
Ling Ruo knew that the answer to all the questions should be in the underground space of the ancient city.
So, is she going down anyway?
Although He Kong was anxious to enter the new basement, his caution did not let go because of this. He first threw Xu Ziyun's extra night pearl into it, and after checking it carefully, he saw that there was no emergency, so he carefully got in.
On the wall, they knocked out a half-human-high hole, and after He Kong entered, everyone else gathered around the hole to look carefully.
"Senior brother, what's going on inside?"
"That basement before that was pretty much the same. Come on, let's take a closer look. ”
Hearing He Kong's reply, Yin Pengfei was the first to drill over, followed by Yin Fufeng, Xu Ziyun, and Li Weitian was the last.
Because the previous small whirlwind appeared from the walls, the main target of this time is naturally these walls.
However, upon closer inspection, nothing of value was found.
"You say, behind all these walls, there is another basement? Is there a little whirlwind in every basement? ”
Xu Ziyun asked suddenly.
"Anyway, there are no other discoveries now, why don't we just find a wall and force it to break it down?" Yin Fufeng proposed.
He Kong and Yin Pengfei glanced at each other and agreed to the proposal.
