Chapter 156: Gods and Ghosts
The ruins of Helier were inhabited more than 60 years ago, so some of the old buildings here are still relatively intact.
However, after the arrival of the turbid tide, the reasons for the destruction of various civilizations are different, according to the remnants of Helier, it is because Helier does not respect the gods, so the gods have sent down divine punishment, and the gods and ghosts from another world have destroyed the entire city.
Zhang Yu did not easily doubt this statement, because it is really possible for the gods to send down divine punishments, and some powerful alien gods do have such abilities.
And Helier is indeed one of the few kingdoms that does not believe in other gods.
Yes, Helier does not believe in gods. All they believe in is their own power, that they can do everything that the gods can do.
At first glance, this seems to be similar to Tianxia's concept, but in fact it is not the same thing.
The Helier do not believe in gods, and all their beliefs are based on two things, namely the "box of wishes" and the "jar of eternal life".
The Helier are the successors to this ruin, and they are fortunate enough to carry on much of the knowledge from the previous era, including the two things that have yet to be completed.
They learned from the knowledge left behind in the ruins that no one could escape the end of the era. So they tried to continue to complete these two things, thus avoiding the doomed destruction.
But as a result, they didn't do that either.
At this moment, Zhang Yu's footsteps paused, and in front of him was a large pond with a radius of Lixu, surrounded by statues standing there, and broken bones everywhere.
And the "iron soldiers" who had just come over disappeared after approaching the big pool.
Zhang Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and a flickering blur of figures appeared in his vision, and they flew quickly over the pool.
They are obviously invisible, but wherever they pass, everything will be affected, even if the huge statue is pierced by them, it will collapse with a bang, and all mortals who are passed by their bodies are like being hit by a huge and incomparable force, and they are scattered on the spot with a pile of minced meat.
"This thing ......"
He pondered for a moment, shook the sword in his hand, and stepped forward.
At the opposite end, Ying Lao and the others were following the team led by Team Li.
There were indeed some troubles along the way, there were abundant greenery and plenty of light inside and outside the ruins, so this became a gathering place for some spiritual creatures in the wasteland, but under the cleaning of Team Li and his men, the road was quickly opened and went all the way deep into the interior of the ruins.
Now before them was a stone-paved avenue for ten people, with brass metal plates of a height of several feet, which were arranged neatly on both sides of the road like the pages of a book with a slight angle.
Team Li cautiously stopped here.
Ying Lao asked the young woman, "Shuhua, what is this?"
Shuhua looked and found a skeleton standing in front of a metal plate, and his hands were still pressed on it, supporting it from falling.
She was very bold, walked up directly, gave a slight blessing to the bones, and then reached out and pressed on the metal wall, and in an instant, the palm of her hand seemed to be pressed into the waves, and there was a circle of ripples in it, and symbols appeared in it.
She turned around and said, "Elder Ying, this should be the wall of Helier's poems that Elder Lu said, which is used to convey knowledge, hymns, orders, and messages. ”
Ying Lao said: "Shuhua, you are a student of Lu Lao, you should be able to understand these things, right?"
Shuhua glanced at those symbols a few times and said, "Elder Ying, I'll try." ”
She reached out again and touched the metal plate gently, and every time she stroked it with her palm, a number of words made up of fine crystal chips appeared underneath.
This look was more than half a summer, and then she didn't say anything for a long time.
The young man looked a little worried, walked up, and asked with concern, "Shuhua, what's wrong?"
Shuhua's body was shocked, and when she came back to her senses, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm fine, it's just that some things are too surprising." ”
Ying Lao said in a deep voice: "It has something to do with what we are looking for?"
Shuhua nodded, she thought about it, glanced at the skeleton, and said in a simple language: "This is a note left by the nobles of the Helier people before they died, saying that after the two divine objects were built, all the Helier people gathered in front of the 'Gate of Helai', ready to enter the kingdom of God, but after opening the gate, it was not good, but countless evil ...... inside."
The plan of the Helier was to prolong their lives with the "Jar of Eternal Life", and then use the Wishing Box to create a "Kingdom of Helai" by replicating the Gap, and finally the whole people would enter there to avoid the turbidity.
In the words of the Heliers, there is everything imaginable in the world.
This great vision came close to being realized.
But I don't know why, but something went wrong here, when the gate of the country of Helai was opened, what existed inside was not the beauty that the people of Helier expected, but countless gods and ghosts rushed out, and they also destroyed this place.
Team Li listened to her explanation, and suddenly said loudly: "Wait a minute, I want to ask this lady, since it was these gods and ghosts who destroyed this place, then I want to ask, are those ghosts leaving now?"
Shuhua shook her head and said, "I don't know." She hesitated, "There's another paragraph written in a variant script, but I don't understand it yet." ”
Ying Lao said in a deep voice at this time: "Shuhua, is there a record of the whereabouts of those two things on this?"
Shuhua said, "Yes, the Wishing Box is at the end of the road, and the Jar of Eternal Life is also there," she gestured with her hand and said, "It's just that the range may be a little large." ”
Team Li said confidently: "Just know where it is." Even if my men dig three feet into the ground, they will find this thing. ”
The soldiers also nodded, all of them had the cooperation of observers, as long as the scope was determined, even if this thing was really hidden underground, they could find it.
It's just that when they set off again and walked to the end of the road, they were all stunned and said, "This is the jar of eternal life?"
Shuhua looked ahead and affirmed, "This is the Jar of Eternal Life. ”
One of the soldiers' mouths couldn't help but open wide, "But, but, which one is it?"
In front of them, there were dense half-man-high clay pots, which stretched from the square in front of them to the opposite hillside, and there were at least tens of thousands of them.
One of the soldiers suddenly spoke up, "There are people in this clay pot." ”
All the soldiers were startled, their eyes on their visors flickered a few times, and when they looked into the jar of eternal life, they did find that there were people hiding inside, each of them curled up, as if they were sleeping inside, but there was no sign of life on their bodies.
Shuhua said: "These should be all the Helier people waiting to enter the gate of Helai. ”
Team Li pursed his lips and said, "This is the so-called 'eternal life'?"
Ying Lao said in a deep voice: "Eternal life is not necessarily physical eternal life, it depends on what their perception of eternal life is. ”
Shuhua pointed into the distance at this time: "Ying Lao, that is the 'Gate of Helai', according to the description on the wall of the poem, it is the door that leads to all good things, and the thing in front of the door should be the 'Wishing Box'." ”
Everyone turned their heads to look over, and saw that there was a gentle upward slope, and a huge and gorgeous stone gate was built on it, and there was a vertical thing in front of the stone door, which was not quite the same as the box in the impression, it was an inverted trapezoidal metal body that came to a height of a few feet, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a cabinet.
Ying Lao stared for a moment, then turned his head and instructed the dozen or so Creator servants who followed behind him, "Move these things back and be careful." ”
The servant asked, "Sir, where is the pot of eternal life?"
There are so many things that they can't move.
Ying Lao didn't pay much attention to the pot of eternal life, to be honest, he was a little disappointed when he saw the real thing, which was a little different from what he originally thought, he said: "Just move a few back." ”
The servant bowed down to receive the order, and then ran out in two teams, but the servant who was going to carry the pot of eternal life only came into contact with these clay pots, but there was a strange sound in the air.
The young man looked around nervously and said, "What is this sound?"
Team Li stared in the direction of the Eternal Life Jar, and then saw a mist-like thing suddenly fly out of one of the clay pots that had just been lifted slightly, and with just one rush, the two creators immediately fell apart.
It was a gray-blue humanoid object, and its facial outline could be vaguely seen, but its eyes and mouth were hollow, its upper body was slender hands, and its lower body was just a trailing light qi.
It looked at everyone with empty eyes, and not only that, but in the shocked gaze of everyone, similar things began to appear on the hundreds of thousands of jars of eternal life.
Team Li scolded and said, "It's troublesome." He shouted, "Set up!"
Hearing the order, the twenty-five soldiers formed three concentric circles, and each person's figure had a spiritual light coming out, and protected Ying Lao and the others in it.
It was like a signal, and the things roared silently, and then converged into a gray-blue ocean that rushed towards them from the top of the hillside!
Seeing this scene, those soldiers were extremely nervous, and Ying Lao and the others were also pale.
Team Li shouted loudly: "Don't panic, stabilize me!"
He cursed in his heart, feeling that this time it might be over, this thing seems to be able to deal with it, but there are so many of them, just consuming them can consume them to death.
The gray-blue wave was getting closer and closer, but just as it was about to crash against them, suddenly a light fell from the sky, covering them all.
There was a bang, like the tide crashing into the dam, setting off high waves, and those gray-blue things were scattered one by one.
When everyone looked up, they saw that there was a huge thing above their heads, spreading a pair of wings like a river of starlight, and the light that fell down could not be seen at a glance, covering the entire front.
Team Li's eyes couldn't help but widen, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly turned his head, and saw that at the other end of the avenue, a young Taoist shrouded in jade light and mist was walking towards them step by step.
