"This is the ideal country. ”

At the center of the ancestral land is a huge altar.

Meng Shuai had never seen such a tall altar. There are few other buildings that can be compared. The altar is magnificently built, and the staircase leading to the top is made of gold, and there are several orbs on the top, which are full of light.

Meng Shuai exclaimed in front of the altar and said secretly: Such a luxurious altar is used by the whole clan of the underworld, isn't this a show for the blind?

Then he reacted - isn't this a dark underground? Isn't all light absorbed? How can I see it again?

And the lights before are ......

Meng Shuai was pleasantly surprised: Could it be that he could see the light here and get out of the absolute darkness?

It's such a great place. Meng Shuai looked at it again.

The form of the altar is very unique, and the only thing that feels familiar is a monument standing in front of it. Meng Shuai has never seen this monument, but he has touched it. There was a turtle underneath, carrying a huge stone monument. It is exactly the same as the divination armor that was piled up outside before, but the model number is enlarged dozens of times. The stele is more than three zhang high, and there are several copper pillars standing next to it. On each pillar of copper is a ...... Skeleton.

Under the dim pearl light, the skeletons were placed side by side on the copper pillars, and the eye sockets of the black hole were facing Meng Shuai, like a black hole. Meng Shuai swallowed his saliva and turned his head, not admitting that he had experienced a hundred battles, and he would be frightened by ordinary skeletons.

These are all original sacrifices, aren't they?

The skulls were covered in dust, and the gold and brass adorned on the altar were covered in cobwebs, apparently in ruins. These ornate decorations have lost popularity, how are they different from boulders?

Meng Shuai was looking at it, and he heard Ming Zhong say: "I just asked you, do you remember the ideal country?" “

Meng Shuai said: "I naturally ......" turned around when he spoke, and suddenly bit half of the words, almost biting his tongue.

Because in the dim light, he saw the face of Hades for the first time.

Legend has it that there is a kind of ghost that has no face and will come out at night to be scary. Meng Shuai had heard the legend, but he didn't understand why he could be scary just because he didn't have a face.

It wasn't until he saw Hades that he knew that the faceless ghost must be an extremely terrifying ghost.

The underworld man in front of him just had no eyes, as if he had a blank slate on his head, and under the light of the lamp, it already made him creepy. Rao is Meng Shuai was not small, but he couldn't help but take a step back, and forgot the words he had prepared.

"We discussed it before, and you said that the ideal country should be illusory. Our only way out is on the ground, and you still think so?"

Meng Shuai sighed, thanks to the fact that when he came here with Ming Zhong, he confirmed with the Black Earth World, and knew a little about what the Ideal Country was, and said, "Do you think it's true? The Ideal Country has not collapsed, and is still here?"

"I don't believe it either. The loss of light is a curse of God, and we are powerless to change it. But I believe that the Phoenix God left behind the sacred land, and the divine land is a paradise, where food and clothing are worry-free, and the grass is abundant. Once there, the abundant resources there will save the rest of our people. If they can live happily, they want to reach heaven on the other side. ”

Meng Shuai said disapprerovingly: "I think even the ancient ideal country is a story. There is no such place at all. As he spoke, he suddenly regretted it a little, because the sentence just now was his own opinion, not that of the underworld. It's a shame that it can be seen from the previous conversation that Stygian holds the same point of view as him, otherwise he will be exposed this time.

"I used to be skeptical, but now I understand that there really is such a paradise in the world. It is with the resources of the Promised Land that Hades can climb so fast that it is almost like a god. He is not a god, but he has the kingdom of God and the worship of God. Is he worthy of it? That land of paradise belongs to the people of the underworld, and he is not worthy of it. ”

Meng Shuai still didn't think so, but he thought that he was not really the underworld, and he was not responsible for guiding the underworld, so why argue with him?

Shen Zhong took a few steps forward and said, "If you still don't believe me, let's revisit the description of the Ideal Country." As he spoke, he walked up to the altar and reached out to stroke the railing.

Only then did Meng Shuai see that the railing was carved with dense reliefs. For the Hades, the relief can only be groped with a little bit of hands, but for him, it can be seen clearly at a glance.

It was precisely because he saw it clearly that Meng Shuai couldn't help but inhale secretly - this relief is not small, and the entire railing is a painting, forming a ring, like a long painting scroll.

Although the reliefs are exquisite, the pictures themselves are abstract, and the characters and landscapes have the style of antiquity. But because of the conciseness, the general content is still understandable.

It is a landscape map similar to a map, depicting a phoenix in front and a group of people behind, walking through a mighty journey. The starting point of the route is a city, and the queue is constantly pouring out of the city, if Meng Shuai guessed correctly, it should be referring to the Hades Residence behind him.

The road splits into two forks in the road, one ascending and the other sinking. Each road is marked with three ancient characters. It is the text used for sacrifices, Meng Shuai has recognized a lot now, and can see that one is the "road of God" and the other is the "road of man".

But contrary to common sense, it is the way of God that sinks, and the way of man goes up.

God fell to the earth, but man will go up to heaven. It's incomprehensible.

At the end of God's path is a cloud of mist. It's hazy and can't see clearly, but fortunately, there are still annotations, and the annotated text Meng Shuai carefully identifies -

"The sleeping place of the gods. ”

Meng Shuai silently recited these words, and saw a hand touch it, just touching the words, but it was Mingzhong, he had no eyes, he couldn't look at it casually like Meng Shuai, he could only use his fingers to grope along the traces of the lines, but his demeanor was focused and almost pious.

In line with the principle of caring for the disabled, Meng Shuai took a step back, gave him a good position, and went to see other paintings by himself.

Halfway through the road of people, there are changes, again divided into two roads, one straight up, in the middle of the road, a lot of ghosts are drawn, and people who come out of the city are fighting, if Meng Shuai understands correctly, these chaotic lines should refer to the war.

The people of the earth rushed to the earth through the way of man, and fought against the people of the earth.

That's what it means, right?

Meng Shuai remembered that Zhou Duo had said that the underworld was hiding a way to ascend, which was used to conquer the earthly world again after the gods woke up, and he was skeptical at the time, but now it seems that it is indeed the case. Counterattacking the earthly world should be the natural mission of the underworld-

But there is a slight possibility, which is another matter.

At the back of the picture, there is a beautiful picture of the Hades living under the sun after conquering the earth, with the sun, trees, luxurious palaces, and countless treasures. In the picture, these are all owned by the victorious Hades.

"Daydreaming. Meng Shuai commented silently. As far as the ability of the underworld people is concerned, it is not enough to go up and rob the Eight Mountain Villas, and they still want to sit on the Golden Mountain and conquer the world?

However, this cannot be underestimated, the Europeans who were blocked back then also wanted to go to the non-existent Golden Country, although they didn't make it, and they also brought disaster to the world. It doesn't feel good to have these guys under your feet, and it's true to strangle the danger in the cradle as soon as possible.

On the other side, the drawing depicts another group of people not taking the same path on the ground, but taking another fork. At the end of that road, there is also a world.

The world is even more blurry, Meng Shuai is very puzzled, what kind of world is depicted on the picture?

It doesn't look like an ideal country.

Meng Shuai felt that judging from the pattern, it should be a flame, or a melting pot, and the lines inside were all flames. People live in it, it's like steel being calcined in a furnace.

It's hell, right?

From a logical point of view, this painting clearly depicts the scene of going to hell if you don't go up to fight.

However, unlike ordinary hell, the people inside did not show painful expressions, but enjoyed themselves. And there seems to be something else in the flames, which can also be understood as palaces and treasures.

Moreover, on the stone wall, there are two ancient characters engraved. Meng Shuai inquired about these two ancient words, and they were the words "ideal".

This is the ideal country? Where is the ideal?

Meng Shuai didn't believe in any ideal country, but now when he sees such a situation, he doesn't believe it even more, he only feels that the person who left the picture must have other expressions, but it was misinterpreted. Also, the underworld people have no eyes, they can only rely on touch, the blind man touches the elephant, and the leopard in the tube, they can only be partial, and they can't see the overall situation clearly, who knows how they understand it?

To put it this way...... Because of their visual limitations, the paintings and words of the underworld people are at a very low-end level, and Meng Shuai does not believe that they can paint such large-scale works.

Shen Zhong was still touching around the picture, all the way to the ideal country, sighed deeply, and said, "Here...... It's where you're going. And the place of retreat is here—"

The place where he pointed was the intersection of the road on the ground and the ideal country. Meng Shuai was about to hum, but suddenly thought that he shouldn't be able to see, so he hurriedly followed and touched it with his hand.

Ming Zhong suddenly backhanded and grabbed Meng Shuai's hand, Meng Shuai was fast, immediately dodged, and shouted: "What are you doing?" You can't let him catch it, Meng Shuai's hand is completely different from Ming Ji's hand, and he will be exposed as soon as he grabs it.

"I'll let you understand clearly. The Underworld is nominally entrenched here, guarding the passage on the ground, but what he really guards is the entrance to the Ideal Kingdom. After I curse him, you will lead your people past him, enter the ideal country, multiply, increase your power, and then wait for the Phoenix God to awaken and summon to complete the revival, understand?"

Meng Shuai looked at the location of the underworld, and already knew in his heart - as long as the underworld was there, not to mention the ideal country, they would not be able to open the passage back at all, and if they wanted to go back, the underworld would be a mountain that could not be bypassed.

Exhaling a breath, Meng Shuai replied, "I understand, just do as you say." ”
