Chapter 4: The Abandoned City

Following the direction of the empty finger, Wang Lung looked at it, and a small gray dot came into view, too far away, blurry and unclear, Wang Lung turned his head to look at the empty in confusion.

"I just released my Divine Sense, and it is three hundred kilometers away, and the Divine Consciousness has been bounced back. ”

As soon as he heard what he said, Wang Lung didn't say a word and galloped away.

The distance of 300 kilometers takes a long time for ordinary people to reach, but it is only a moment for Wang Lung, and after the island gradually becomes clear, Wang Lung is pleased to find that this small island is not big, that is, a hundred zhang square, and there is a small village in it.

Walking in, as recorded in the travelogue, Wang Lung just wanted to enter it, when an amazing scene suddenly appeared, and the island disappeared inexplicably.

"What's going on?" Facing the island that suddenly disappeared, Wang Lung was puzzled, could it be a mirage, should it not, although he did not set foot on the island, but it was less than a hundred meters away from it, whether it was really a mirage could be seen at a glance.

The two brothers also looked at each other, and this was the first time they had encountered this situation, and it was said that an island floating on the sea should not disappear for no reason.

Still alert, looking down at the bottom of the sea, a vague phantom shadow entered the line of sight, and he couldn't see it clearly with his late cultivation of the infant pill, so it can be seen that the outline is obviously not like the normal topography of the seabed, is it ......

"Look at the little dragon. He stretched out his hand and pointed at it.

Following the direction of a finger, Wang Lung looked at it, and it was also a vague phantus, and the shadow was too large to distinguish its appearance, because it was deep under the sea, even the outline could not be distinguished.

"It's a city. He let out his divine sense and swept it, and then spoke.

Wang Lung asked, "No, this place is the ocean, how can there be a city, right?"

A name appeared in Wang Lung's mind. Atlantis, a lost civilization, but that's all legends, is it true?

There is also some knowledge of the Atlantean Rex Rex, the city under the sea, which is said to have been encountered by fishermen in the sea 1,500 kilometers west of the Portuguese capital. It belongs to the Azov Islands, and although the place where they stand now is east of Bermuda, it is thousands of miles away from the Azov Islands, how could this mysterious Atlantis appear here.

Whether it is the legendary Atlantis or not, Wang Lung decided to go down and take a look, if there is a city, it may be Ao Qing's lair, this kind of invisible city phantom should have been excavated a long time ago, but now it is still lying quietly at the bottom of the sea. This is a little strange, without too much hesitation, the three of them sank into the sea at the same time.

As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, this sentence is also very applicable at the moment, don't look at the phantom visible to the naked eye, but it is not a moment to reach the bottom of the sea, even with Wang Long's strength, it took nearly an hour to finally arrive.

Thousands of feet below the surface of the sea. A ruined city came into view, and Wang Lung looked at the buildings with some consternation. Somewhat similar to what he saw on the Internet, could it really be Atlantis?

For Atlantis, Wang Lung's understanding can be described as one-sided, Atlantis is not a city, but the title of an ancient country, called Daxizhou or Daxiguo. Legend has it that it is an ancient continent with a high degree of civilization, and since it is a national title, it will certainly not be a city that can be summed up.

Now the ruined city where Wang Lung is located is just the ruins of a city of the Atlantean civilization, and the appearance of one city can see the whole civilization, although those ruins are dilapidated. But you can still see the prosperity of its time.

The civilization of Atlantis is highly developed, and the level of civilization on the earth is not even one percent of it, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a high mountain.

The ruins of the sea are everywhere, and it is not difficult to see how gorgeous and noble the original appearance is, from those ruins, you can distinguish from those palaces, those are shrines or places of worship, and even the houses of ordinary residents are beautiful.

After entering the ruined city, Wang Lung and the three of them walked along, with Wang Lung's current cultivation, he could live underwater for a long time without the help of water-avoiding beads and other utensils, although he could not drain the sea water around him, but walking in it was like walking on the ground.

Reaching out and stroking the pillar more than ten feet high, the shape is simple and exquisite, but if you look closely, you find that there seems to be something missing, not only the pillar, but even the walls and the ground are uneven, as if someone deliberately peeled it off.

Searching for the memory of Atlantis, Wang Lung remembered that its architecture could not be described as extravagant, gold and silver paved the ground, decorated walls and outer edges, and embellished with precious stones, the wealth of Atlantis was unimaginable, but how could these buildings have a little shadow of yellow and white things, could those descriptions be wrong, but look at these potholes and ruins, which were obviously stripped away by others.

Could it be those deep-sea explorers who are most willing to do this kind of thing, after all, there are many people who like to dive and hunt for treasures, they don't care about the so-called ruins and civilizations, they only have treasure and wealth in their eyes.

This view is just a matter of thought, and it is impossible to verify how it is.

The area of the underground ruins is far beyond the imagination of the three Wang Lung, if you look at it as a city, its area is really rare on the earth, how big Wang Long is not clear, at least according to his walking speed, the distance of a hundred miles has not even reached the edge.

In addition to the ruins, because of the seabed, all kinds of coral and seagrass are everywhere, and it is not difficult to distinguish from the distance between the houses on both sides, how wide the streets of the city were, and the smallest one was 100 meters away.

If this is really where the ruins of Atlantis are, he really can't imagine why it sank to the bottom of the sea in the first place, is it really caused by the great invasion or the disaster caused by the changes of the earth, even archaeologists can't make an accurate definition of Atlantis, Wang Lung came here for the purpose of archaeology, at most he sighed.

"Xiaolong, did you find a problem?" said one suddenly.

Wang Lung looked back at one and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"We have been in this ruined city for at least an hour, and although we have not entered the interior of the buildings along the way, we have not encountered any sea creatures, not even a single fish. ”

Indeed, as one said, if the other party hadn't reminded Wang Lung that he really ignored this, this ruined city was at the bottom of the sea after all. There were a lot of coral seaweeds, but not a single fish or shrimp were encountered, and even the small island that suddenly disappeared at that time was nowhere to be seen.

I was careless, although this is where the earth is, after all, it is an unknown ruin that has not been discovered, and whether it is Atlantis or not will I not say for the time being. Even if it was really Ao Qing's lair, it couldn't be so quiet.

There must be a demon when things are abnormal, Wang Lung was reminded, and his mind immediately tensed, although he did not encounter any danger now, but he could not go on recklessly, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, in case something happened, there would be no regrets to take at that time.

"Little Dragon, look there. ”

Wang Long, who had just tensed his mind, heard the empty reminder. Looking in the direction pointed by the other party, several towering columns come into view, connecting each column is an arc-shaped stone beam, due to the distance is too far, its whole picture can not be distinguished for the time being, but from the appearance can be seen, it should be a Huihong building, but I don't know the specific role.

Wang Lung's eyes narrowed slightly. After a brief look, he said, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

Follow the trail. The three of them walked for about ten minutes, and a magnificent hall appeared in front of them, different from other ruins, from the outside, this hall was intact, but the walls and ground were still uneven. The original yellow and white ornaments were all excavated by the young people.

Without bothering to lament the exquisite decorations that had been destroyed, Wang Long and the three of them walked slowly on the square in front of the main hall, the ground had been eroded by the sea, and there were eight warrior statues holding Changge on each side of the square, and their height was more than ten zhang. Due to the severe erosion of the sea, it is difficult to tell what it looks like, and among the statues, there is also a stone pillar of equal height arranged in parallel.

The square is the size of four or five football fields, and the ground is made of various boulders, with unknown patterns and carvings, which have been mottled and difficult to distinguish because they have been sunk to the bottom of the sea for too long.

Walking through the square, in front of you is a magnificent hall, its style is somewhat similar to the ancient Greek architectural style, but its huge is unimaginable, the gate at the entrance is more than 50 meters high.

On both sides of the main hall are two towers up to 100 meters high, the door frame is arched, I don't know whether it is not blocked or corroded, the door of the hall is wide open, because the interior is too dark, with the vision of Wang Long, it is impossible to see the slightest.

He glanced back at the void, wanting the other party to release his divine sense to see what was in it, but before he could speak, he said: "There is something special inside this hall, although the divine consciousness is not blocked, but entering it is like a deep quagmire, it is not clear to see, it is gray, some things seem to be far and near, this is the first time I have encountered it." ”

Wang Lung frowned, and the hint he gave made him feel shocked, and he couldn't even see the cultivator's divine sense when he entered it, and he didn't know what kind of danger it contained, which made him a little stunned, and he couldn't help but stop his steps.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Lung rushed and asked, "Have you ever encountered such a situation?"

Shook his head and didn't speak, with his hand on his face contemplative, Wang Lung didn't rush to urge the other party, although this situation is bottomless, but after looking at it, there is obviously something strange, maybe there is something to learn from.

Soon he slowly spoke: "This situation is indeed weird, but it is not without a trace. ”

"Oh!" Not only was Wang Lung puzzled, but even Sora couldn't help but ask, "How do you say it?"

One said, "Brother, do you remember the hidden cave mansion we encountered when we first became cultivators? ”

After being reminded, Kong's expression changed, and he said as if he had an understanding: "Oh, I understand, the original cave ban has long since dissipated, but its location is a natural formation place, although there is no formation cover, it can still shield the cultivator's divine sense with the natural prohibition. ”

"That's right, if this hall is really where the ruins of Atlantis are according to Xiaolong, and it is said that there will be no local cultivators on the earth, then no one will deliberately set up a formation ban, and it may be the same as the hidden cave mansion at the beginning. One said.

When Wang Lung heard this, he also nodded, but then he asked, "Could it be Ao Qing's doing?"

Yi said: "It's not impossible, but if you want to distinguish clearly, it's not impossible, wait for the two of us to take a closer look at the surrounding environment, and we will know whether the inference just now is correct, if it is really set by Ao Qing's predecessors, wouldn't it be exactly what you want." ”

Without much discussion, Wang Lung was not even a layman for the formation, and he could only hand it over to the two brothers to observe whether there were natural prohibitions around.

Soon, about half an hour, a brother and two flew towards the entrance of the main hall from both sides, just now they acted separately to check the prohibition, but Wang Lung stayed where he was.

"How's it going?" asked Wang Lung.

Yi didn't reply, but looked at the sky, and saw that the other party nodded slightly, and knew that the Dao was the same as his own conjecture, and then said to Wang Long: "This is indeed a natural forbidden place, and the nearby corals and terrain are cleverly arranged, and the way of the formation is secretly combined, which just places the main hall in it." ”

Wang Lung said: "It seems that there should be no danger inside. ”

Likong said: "I can't say it completely, after all, the divine sense can't be explored, although this hall happens to be located in the formation, but the situation is not clear, it's better to be careful." ”

In agreement, Wang Long nodded at the two of them, the appearance of unexcavated ruins under the deep sea was unexpected, coupled with this hall that could not be explored with divine sense, it was strange everywhere, so be careful.

Facing the unknown hall, Wang Lung didn't dare to be careless, took a deep breath, his heart was tense, he turned over his hand and patted the storage spirit weapon on his waist, and a black war knife was held in his hand, and he looked at the two brothers with a side face, seeing them nodding and signaling, Wang Lung slowly walked in step by step.
