Caiyun's eyes rolled at this point, and he seemed to be lost in thought, and only after a moment did he speak, "Enchantment? I don't think it's possible. If they were able to sacrifice an enchantment that they couldn't do even if they were in flames, how could they be completely defeated and burned down by the enemy? I don't know what you think, but at least it doesn't make sense to me. ”

"Considering that they actually use the 'Spirit Relief Jade' as an embellishment, I can conclude that this race must be very extraordinary, maybe everyone in the city has a good cultivation, and it may not be difficult to sacrifice an enchantment. ”

Caiyun had a puzzled look on her face at this time, and she interrupted Marina's words to express her opinion.

"How is it possible? If they are all as you say, they have extremely advanced cultivation, why did they be slaughtered? I really can't figure it out. ”

"Listen to me. In fact, there has been an example of a race with outstanding cultivation talent eventually facing extinction, and that is the Wu clan that has existed since ancient times. The people of the Wu clan are born with great strength, inheriting the abilities of the twelve ancestors, and all of them are outstanding, but in the end, they were not almost killed by the demons. Even if the inhabitants of this city are indeed capable, if they face a stronger opponent than them, they will not be able to fight back. ”

After listening to Marina's explanation, Caiyun began to understand that her previous vision was too narrow, and she only saw one side of things, so she would make judgments that deviated from the truth.

"I see, then there is only one possibility to infer this way. Caiyun said confidently at this time.

"Tell me about it. ”

"I think the reason why they planted the barrier around this pagoda is because it hides the last thing they want to be destroyed, but their enemies may not have noticed the barrier and just set it on fire and left, so only the pagoda appears intact. Caiyun spoke her mind.

Marina nodded, "You have a point, but there is another possibility, and that is that their enemies are not interested in everything in this palace, and even if they find out about the existence of the enchantment, they don't care about it at all. It's possible that they set these palaces on fire to lure out the 'king' who was hiding somewhere in the palace, but that's just my guess, you don't have to take it seriously. ”

"yes, I didn't think of that. They don't set fires at will, they must have a clear purpose, and that purpose has absolutely nothing to do with this wooden tower, and the target of the burning is most likely the 'king's bedchamber. In this way, if the people in the palace want to protect the wooden tower, it will be much easier. Caiyun suddenly realized at this time.

This is a hypothesis to justify the intact nature of the wooden tower. At the same time, it also proves that everything in the tower is very important and worthy of the people in the palace to protect it at all costs. ”

Marina analyzed this, and a smile rose at the corner of her mouth.

"It seems that we have found our target, and this wooden tower must contain a record of this history. ”

Caiyun said with excitement on his face, "Then what are you waiting for? ”

"Since the ancient city is artificially protecting this wooden tower and laying down the barrier, maybe there are also various mechanisms and prohibitions in the tower to prevent thieves from breaking in. Therefore, we must be cautious and try not to put ourselves in danger. "Marina

Reminder.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful. After entering, I will follow you closely, do everything according to your arrangement, and never act rashly, how about it?" Caiyun said seriously.

"That's the best, everything is at my command, we're only interested in the history of this space, and when we find the documents we need, we'll leave quickly, and it's better not to stay here for a long time, lest you have too many nights. By the way, it would be great to find a map of the underground space here, so that we can pinpoint the location of the dragon mound and stop exploring aimlessly. Marina said.

"Maps, why do you need maps? The place it looks like today is very different from thousands of years ago, how can you tell where it is now from an old map?" Caiyun wondered.

"Caiyun, this space has been 'sealed' underground for a long time, and it has become a relic that no one cares about. It has not undergone any changes for thousands of years, and the terrain and environment are likely to be the same as thousands of years ago. ”

"But the dragon god appeared a hundred years ago, and the reason why it is called 'Dragon Mound' is still the news spread by the people of the heavenly realm, who pretended to be from the world, and lied that there were dragon bones buried under the abyss, which were worth a lot of money, and a small piece could be exchanged for a hundred taels of gold. And reveal some of the plans of the dragon god to the world, such as the frequency and approximate time of the opening of the 'dragon mound'. So there were no dragon mounds thousands of years ago, so even if there was a map, we wouldn't be able to tell the exact location of the dragon mound, would we?"

Marina shook her head slightly, "I have two things that need to be corrected. First, it is not the 'people of the heavenly realm' who spread the message of the abyss, but the dependents of the dragon god, and in order to complete the task, the dragon god must attract the attention of the world, otherwise he will not be able to lead the 'destined person' to the abyss.

Second, the dragon mound is located between the mountains and rivers, and the terrain is very steep, which is the accurate information that my sister told me, and a place like this will definitely be very conspicuous on the map, as long as you see the map, you should have some clues. ”

"It turns out that the young lady told you all about the characteristics of the dragon mound, and I thought you didn't know. Hmph, Miss is really eccentric, I'm afraid she thinks it's useless to tell me. ”

After Caiyun complained a few words, his expression suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, Xiao Na, you just said that those expedition teams were led to the abyss by the dragon god's dependents?"

"Not all, it's the people who started it, and then it's the crowd. ”

"I have a question, most of the explorers who entered the dragon mound died, and few were able to escape. If the dragon god had deliberately let the people into the dragon mound, he would have escorted them out safely, so how could he have watched them die there?

Marina responded, "I don't know the details of the dragon mound, but I can make some guesses. ”

"Guess? How do you guess if you don't have a clue?"

"I have some friendship with Ryujin, and I know a lot about his abilities and personality, so I can assume that he must have done three things. The dragon god's specialty is called 'Words'..."

Before Marlena could finish speaking, Caiyun interrupted

"What kind of power is that? I've never heard of it. ”

Marina was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "You don't even know the 'words'? Obviously, Nuwa Niangniang is also very good at this magical power." ”

Caiyun shook her head and said, "Niangniang really didn't mention it to me, maybe my cultivation is too low, and I am not qualified to contact this magical power." ”

Caiyun didn't show a complaining look on her face, she was very calm, and this kind of self-knowledge made Marlena appreciate it very much.

"In that case, I'll tell you about it. 'Words' is actually a kind of law-type supernatural power, which is extremely powerful, far beyond anyone's imagination.

As the name suggests, 'Verbal Commandment' means to give orders with words. When a person's cultivation reaches the sub-holy level, the spiritual power in his body will undergo a qualitative change. His mind will be connected with nature, and his spiritual power will be able to manipulate the five elements at will, and everything in the world will be under control.

For such people, the transformation of spiritual power into substance is effortless and incomparably efficient, and there is no need to resort to talismans or incantations at all. And they can also set some rules that only serve themselves without violating the laws of the flood. ”

Caiyun was confused at this time, and said suspiciously: "You said so much, but you still haven't told me what the effect of this 'word' is?"

"You can also understand by thinking about what I said, this 'word' is naturally using sound waves to release spiritual power, and what is said will immediately come true. The content of the 'word' can be an independent law or a random event. This kind of immediate supernatural power requires the caster's consciousness to be able to fully integrate into the five elements of heaven and earth and become part of the will of nature, and it is almost impossible to succeed. Marina said seriously.

Caiyun's face was full of horror when she heard this, and she confirmed to Marina, "That means that the words spoken by people who are good at 'words' may become reality? ”

"Actually, it's not that exaggerated, and this magic power also has some limitations. The greater the scope and degree of influence of the laws or events created by the 'Words' on the real space, the more spiritual power will need to be consumed. I've learned from my master that the amount of spiritual power consumed to create a natural calamity with the 'Words' is almost ten times more than ten times that of the Holy Yao Sect's natural calamity-level spells. I'm afraid that only those saints with boundless spiritual power can do whatever they want. ”

Caiyun nodded and said, "This kind of supernatural power really requires an extremely high reserve of spiritual power, otherwise this world would have been in chaos a long time ago." ”

"According to my speculation, the dragon god should have used the power of 'words' to set up two 'laws'. The first is a space-time gate that opens every ten years, allowing those explorers to enter the dragon mound without any problems. The second is a timed teleportation circle that returns the group to safety after a period of time in the dragon mound.

As for why those who entered the dragon mound died, I think there are two reasons. First, it is said that the dragon god is sleepy by nature and does not care about the world, so it is likely that he will open the barrier after casting two 'oragrams' and fall into a deep sleep, ignorant of what is happening in the outside world. Second, the Dragon Tomb may be much more dangerous than we imagined, and if mortals break into it, they will be in danger, and it will be difficult to survive until the teleportation circle is activated. Marina said.
