Chapter 309 The bottom of my heart is gloomy
The underground ruins of the abyss, the front of the mysterious ancient city.
Marina and Caiyun were standing under the huge city wall more than five feet high, looking up at this shocking ancient city. Because of the traces left by the years, the stone walls have become a little mottled, but there is not a trace of decay. Marina and Caiyun stared at each other for a long time, but they didn't know what kind of stone the perennial immortal wall was made of.
"It's not made of bricks, it's not any ordinary stone, Cortana, can you tell what it's made of?"
Caiyun stared at the wall for a long time, but couldn't see any clues, so he asked Marina.
"I may not know as much about this as you do, and if you can't tell, how can I know. However, it is very likely that this city is not the residence of the Terrans, and if it were a Terran city, the walls would never be so high. This height is almost comparable to the fortress of the Wu clan in the primeval period. Marlena responded.
"I think so too. Shall we go into the city now, or do we go around the city first?"
Caiyun always seemed unable to make decisions on her own, and had to ask Marina's opinion every time.
Marina couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said helplessly: "Caiyun, you yourself are not without judgment, why do you always ask me to help you make decisions, this is really not a good habit." With your thinking skills, it should be easy to see the situation and make the best choice. ”
"Cortana, I know it's not a good habit, but I really can't change it for a while. I once failed a very important mission because of my miscalculation, and since then I have been buried in my heart, and I dare not go my own way, and I can't even make crucial life decisions on my own. I'm sorry, Cortana, I'm going to get over it, but you're going to give me some time, okay?"
As she spoke, Caiyun's expression suddenly dimmed, as if she had become weak in an instant, and a faint sadness could be easily felt in her gaze.
Marina was shocked when she heard this, her eyes showed a hint of apology, and she hurriedly comforted: "Caiyun, it's me who is wrong, I misunderstood you." I can't believe you've had such a desperate experience. Don't worry, I'll make the decision in the future, and I promise that I will make the most accurate judgment and won't let us get into trouble. ”
"Cortana, thank you. But you've always been making the decision, so it's strange that what you just said sounds like you and me have reversed our roles. ”
The sad side of Caiyun's expression disappeared in an instant, and her complexion changed from cloudy to sunny, as if she had changed her face, which showed that her ability to control her emotions was far beyond ordinary people.
Marina was amused by the change in her expression, and said, "Your emotions have become too fast, one moment sad, the next moment it will turn into joy, it's too exaggerated." What you just said isn't all a lie, I think you're just lazy, not only unwilling to contribute, but also disgusted by even moving your mind, it's really hopeless. ”
Caiyun laughed and said, "That's right, you guessed it by Cortana, haha." ”
Although Marlena glared at her with disdain on the surface, she was like a mirror in her heart.
A cultivator like Marina has a few accurate judgments
It is unreasonable, and how can it be deceived? Marina could feel the emotion of remorse and loss from Caiyun's every move, and that unforgettable feeling could not be mixed with a trace of falsehood. She understood the deep pain in Caiyun's heart, and this scar needed time to heal. When the gloom clears, Marina believes that the clouds will no longer be as indecisive as they are now.
Although Caiyun is always smiling on the surface, no one can see the world in her heart, she is fighting against the demons all the time, and when she defeats herself, she can find her former self, all of this takes a long process, anxiety can't solve anything.
"We don't know the structure of the city now, and we don't know what potential dangers are there, and if we rush in, it will undoubtedly be a very reckless act, like trespassing into a tiger's den in Longtan. Moreover, this castle seems to be very vast, and if we fly directly into the city from here with the Sky Magic, we can easily lose our way, which is really not a good solution. I think we should first go around the city and see if we can explore the potential dangers in the city through the characteristics of the spiritual power around us. ”
"Cortana, do you think there are ancient monsters in this city? Did you see it with prophecy?"
Caiyun's tone was unexpectedly excited, after all, such strange species are now difficult to find in this world, and can only see some portraits in those picture books that describe ancient legends.
"Haven't you seen an ancient demon beast before? You're Nuwa's personal disciple. Marina was visibly incredulous, how could a disciple of a saint not even have this knowledge.
"I am actually the one who has been cultivating in the Wa Palace for the longest time among the disciples of Niangniang, because of my poor qualifications, I need to practice more diligently than others, and I always spend twice as long in retreat than others, so I rarely have the opportunity to see the 'world'. I remember seeing the Ancient Demon Beast only once at most, and now I can't even remember what it looked like. ”
After hearing this, Marlena patted Caiyun on the shoulder and said, "Actually, I don't know what is in the city, but I just want you and me to have a general grasp of the situation in the city, so that there will be no surprise." Since you are so interested in the Ancient Demon Beasts, if you have time in the future, I will take you to meet them, how about it?"
Caiyun asked in surprise, "Xiao Na, you actually befriended the ancient demon beasts?"
"What's the matter, can't you? The legendary Jingwei and Chongming Bird are all my friends, and after completing the task assigned by my senior sister, I will lead you to meet them, how about it?"
"That's wonderful, Cortana, you're my best sister. ”
Caiyun made an extremely exaggerated expression, took Marlena into his arms, hugged him tightly, and didn't let go for a long time.
Marlena was almost suffocated by her tremendous force, and felt that the bones in her whole body were crackling, as if she was on the verge of falling apart.
"Caiyun, don't make trouble, if you continue to hold me like this, I'm going to lose my breath, who else can give you advice after killing my military advisor. Marina deliberately pretended to be weak and panting.
Hearing this, Caiyun Fang let go of his hands, smiled playfully, and said, "I'm just here to express my gratitude, I didn't expect Xiao Na's body to be so weak."
, I didn't have any strength at all, you can't stand it. ”
"Alright, that's the end of the joke. I don't know what's going on.,I'm usually a very serious person.,But whenever I'm with you, I'm always carried away and forget my original purpose.。 If we continue to waste time, I'm afraid the dragon mound will be opened. Marina grimaced, serious.
"Okay, I'm not going to make trouble, let's get down to business, get down to business. ”
Seeing Marina's serious face, Caiyun hurriedly put away her hippie smile and didn't dare to tease anymore.
"Let's go around the city first to see if there is any abnormal aura in the spiritual veins here, and after finding the location of the city gate, we will enter the city through the city gate, so that it will be much easier to identify the direction. ”
Rainbow agreed to Marina's proposal, and the two of them made their rounds around the walls.
After walking around the whole circle, the two stopped in front of the wooden city gate.
Marina frowned and fell into deep thought.
"The spiritual veins here contain extremely pure spiritual power, turning this place into a holy place for cultivation. The degree of spiritual energy is not far behind, even compared to the Holy Miracle Ridge.
But the attributes of this spiritual power are very strange, it seems to be quite mixed but very pure, there is a faint sense of self-conflict, I can't tell how the spiritual veins are planted, and I don't understand what kind of race will have such complex attributes of spiritual power.
Could it be that this ancient city turned out to be the remains of an extinct primeval race buried underground, if my guess is true, then the two of us are equivalent to opening a new chapter in the field of ancient civilization, looking for a history that has never been mentioned before. ”
Thinking of this, Marina's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Caiyun, we seem to have hit a lot of luck this time, this place may be even more mysterious than you and I imagined. We don't know what we'll be going through next, but it's sure to be an adventure you'll never forget. ”
"What do you mean? Is there a civilization in this world that Cortana doesn't know about?"
Caiyun had a stunned expression, clearly incredulous at Marina's words.
"Of course, I have not yet reached the realm of Master's omniscient and omnipotent state, nor am I a scholar who immerses myself in a sea of books all day long, and there are still many unknown mysterious areas in this world waiting for me to explore. ”
"Haha, when you say this, my heart suddenly feels a lot more balanced, and I feel that I am not as ignorant as I imagined. Caiyun laughed when he heard this.
"As a disciple of Nuwa Niangniang, you will feel that you are ignorant. It seems that you must be lazy, do not seek to understand everything, and have little knowledge, and will eventually end up with a shallow knowledge. Marina said "mockingly".
"This time, it was Cortana who provoked you first, and I was going to fight back. Don't blame me for wasting my time. Caiyun deliberately reminded.
Naturally, Marina heard the hidden meaning of Caiyun's words, and immediately cast a grateful look at her.
"It's me who is not good, as long as I am with you, I can't control my mouth. You bear with me for a while, and when we finish the task, you can scold you as much as you want. Now let's take a look at the city. ”
