Chapter 2 Parallel Imperial Tombs
The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone on them, Bai Makui woke everyone up.
The commotion last night made everyone frightened, mainly not because of those giant lizards, but because of the rain of swords, they whispered all night, and they had never heard of such a number one person as Jia Yun in the spirit world, and they all thought it was incredible.
Jia Yun continued to sit there without saying a word, quietly waiting for them to finish breakfast, she was like a robot, and her spirit after a night of keeping watch seemed to be better than them.
However, the deep pit caused by the rain of swords also added a lot of trouble to them, and it took them more than half an hour to climb out of the pit by supporting each other.
They came to the cliff, and under Jia Yun's instructions, Bai Makui reached out and groped on the cliff, touched a place, and knocked out a hole with a pickaxe, and after a burst of knocking, a two-meter-high doorway was revealed.
"This earthen wall was piled up when the survey team left, in order to hide this entrance. Jia Yun explained, carefully shining it inside with a flashlight, and found that this was a small cave, only about thirty or forty square meters, very empty, without extra plants or broken earth and stones, which made the innermost stone henge particularly obvious.
There is no suspense, that stone henge should be the legendary ultra-ancient ruins.
Eight people came to the stone henge, and found that this stone henge is composed of a stone plate base, twelve rectangular stone pillars more than two meters high, and a stone top, the overall look like a pavilion, covering an area of not small, the base is no problem with more than ten people standing on the base, in this small and empty cave seems very abrupt.
Perhaps because it is hidden in a cave and unaffected by wind and sand, the pillars look flat and cut smooth.
"Is this the device from the Pisces Jade Pendant?" said one of the bespectacled boys among the students, looking at the stone pavilion with great interest, and suddenly felt very familiar, "This seems like something we've seen." ”
"UG's intercontinental portal. The middle-aged man who looked like a teacher was called Shiratori Zhi, he recognized this thing at a glance, the structure of this stone pavilion, and the stone carving of the sea urchin shape on the top of the stone, are very similar to the intercontinental portal invented by UG two years ago for teleportation in various branches, except that UG's portal is a precision machine made of metal, and the "sea urchin" on the top is also composed of extremely complex spherical devices and dozens of antennas, and this stone pavilion is made of stone throughout, which looks ...... It looks like a stone carving made in the shape of a portal.
The girl excitedly said, "Dad, have you ever seen the UG portal?"
Shiratori smiled childishly without saying a word, and Hakumakui smiled and said, "Xiaoling, your father once visited the UG headquarters on behalf of you in Japan. ”
Shiratori Ling let out an "oh", a little incredulous, "Could it be that this ruin is also a portal?"
At this time, Jia Yun said: "UG's portal is made with reference to this ultra-ancient ruin, but it can only achieve space travel, not time travel. ”
"Time travel?" Shiratori said in amazement, "Can this thing travel through time?"
Jia Yun continued, "In the Pisces Jade Pendant experiment, the main body also died seven hours after the replica died, and the cause of death was the same. It shows that this is not just a simple copy, but the state of the same creature in different time and space, in short, it is the jade pendant that projects the body of another time and space here. ”
Bai Makui said: "So the real ability of this jade pendant is to transfer objects from other timelines?"
Jia Yun nodded, "UG has done a lot of experiments, as long as it is infused with spiritual power, it can copy anything, but the time between the replica and the main body is not stable, so they boldly assumed, what if this super ancient ruin is actually a device to stabilize the power of the jade pendant?"
"Transformer-like?" blurted out the glasses.
"Imagine, so to speak, a device that can fix the interval of time and reverse this force...... Like, projecting you as a replica into that world?"
"It's like being able to travel freely between two parallel worlds. Shiratori said thoughtfully.
Bai Makui said: "So this time, our task is to go to that world to see, what is there?"
Jia Yun nodded calmly.
Bai Makui looked at the stone pavilion and found that there was a groove at the top, and it looked like something had been cut off here, "Is this the place where the Pisces jade pendant was originally placed?"
"Yes. As he spoke, Jia Yun took out a palm-sized stone slab from his pocket, which looked like a fragment of a large stone slab with an irregular shape, "This is the Pisces Jade Pendant." ”
Everyone shouted "Ah?" in unison, and they rushed up to watch.
Now they were even more confused, and Bai Bird Ling took the lead in asking, "It's not like a jade pendant at all?"
Jia Yun said: "The Pisces Jade Pendant is just a code name, the purpose is not to let the outside world know what this thing looks like. As she spoke, she put the slate into the groove in the stone pavilion, and it was enough to prove that what she said was true.
"Zhengxiong, you are guarding outside, and we will go in with Jia Yun. Bai Makui commanded.
The student named Masao was obviously not happy, but Bai Makui continued: "This is the first mission of our Fengwang Society, and we need someone to answer outside, or ......" He thought for a while, and said jokingly: "If we are all wiped out, someone will have to report to UG, I don't want to end up missing in the file for the rest of my life." ”
Originally, the mood of the team members was very relaxed, but when he said this, they suddenly trembled, especially Bai Bird Ling, "I'm still young, I don't want to die." ”
Shiratori smiled and held her hand, "Even if you die, with your father with you, what are you afraid of, our Shiratori family is not so easy to defeat." ”
Shiratori Ling looked at her father and felt a lot more at ease, but the other members began to think of her parents.
Bai Makui's words affected morale very much, and it was too late to regret it at this time, so he could only start the "Pisces Jade Pendant" before the players regretted it.
Seven people stood on the base of the stone pavilion, looking at the stone slab emitting a dazzling white light, the light paved the entire stone pavilion with white lines along the gap, Masao outside the cave saw a spiral dark cloud in the sky above the cliff, from time to time there was a lightning split, suddenly the surrounding sky changed, a strong wind blew, suddenly a thunderbolt struck the cliff, and then the cave emitted a dazzling white light, which lasted for nearly five minutes, and after nearly five minutes, Masao outside the cave hurriedly went in to check and found that the seven of them had disappeared.
......
The seven people only felt that everything outside the pavilion was shrouded in a white mist, and they couldn't see anything, and after a few minutes, the white fog dissipated, and almost instantly, everyone was already inexplicably in the water.
The water filled the entire cave, and I was at a loss for what to do, and I was afraid that if I continued like this, I would all drown here.
At this time, Jia Yun swam out of the pavilion unhurriedly, and found that the entrance of the cave was still in its original position, turned around and opened his five fingers to the six people, and the moment he clenched into a fist, the six people were like turning into magnets, tightly glued together, like a ball, until they were pulled out of the cave by Jia Yun.
Outside the cave seemed to be the bottom of the lake, and the sun was shining down from above, and the people swam up, and in a short time they came out of the water.
The Gobi Desert, which was originally a few hundred kilometers away, turned into an ocean, and the distant shore of the lake faintly showed glittering buildings, like an ancient imperial palace.
"Go ashore first. Jia Yun still said calmly, swimming towards the nearest shore.
When I went ashore, I found that this was still a desert area, but the large lake was like an oasis in the desert, with trees and vegetation, and the golden palace in the distance did not seem to be a mirage.
"It seems that this parallel world is a long time away from ours. Bai Makui said incredulously, "The Lop Nur of this world has not dried up. ”
Lop Nur was once a lake, but it dried up completely in the 70s to become the Gobi Desert.
"What's next?" asked Shiratori Ling.
Everyone looked at Jia Yun in unison, but at this time she became indifferent again, just staring at the palace in the distance and not saying a word.
"The entrance to the ruins in our world is on the Gobi Desert, and in this world where Lop Nur has not dried up, it has become hidden at the bottom of the lake, and it seems that if the Lop Nur Lake had not disappeared, we would not have found that ruin. Is this a coincidence?" asked Bai Makui tentatively, hoping that Jia Yun would tell them what to do next.
"You can go back. ”
The six of them looked at Jia Yun in unison, not knowing what she meant.
"What follows is not something you can face. Send me here, your mission is done. Without giving them a chance to ask, she walked alone to the palace, with firm steps, and threw them an unshakable back.
Watching her leave, the students remembered to look at Bai Makui, the leader who seemed to be back in power didn't know whether to go with her, but he couldn't risk the lives of the students. Hesitating, I can only rest in place first.
During the break, they held a vote, in fact, there is no brainstorming in this team at all, Shiratori Ling must follow the decision of his father Shiratori Zhi, and the remaining boys naturally follow the instructions of the only female member of the team - Shiratori Ling, so it became a discussion between the two adults of Bai Makui and Shiratori Zhi.
"Students, our Fengwang Society has just been established, and we have finally won the task of this advance team, and we must always make a name for ourselves in UG, at least go to that palace to explore. Although I am the president of our Phoenix University, I am young after all, and I have been fighting for so many years at UG to get this opportunity, and I hope you will support me. Bai Makui said almost pleadingly.
At the end of the discussion, they decided to go to the palace and "go around".
The palace was not very far away, six people walked for less than an hour to come to the front, this palace is not very large, just a single building, surrounded by a garden, although not luxuriant, but in this desert oasis is a very beautiful scenery.
The palace is in the style of the Forbidden City of China, but it is very old, unmaintained, and looks to be hundreds of years old.
Bai Bird Ling was very curious about this place, "Dad, is this a famous place in Chinese history?"
Shiratori shrugged his shoulders, "Lop Nur was once part of the Silk Road, and there used to be a Loulan Kingdom, but it suddenly perished more than a thousand years ago. ”
The glasses immediately trembled a little and asked, "There won't be those ancient undead here, right?"
Bai Bird Ling sneered, "The spirits of the Ghost Suppression High School are still afraid of ghosts, how did you pass the junior spirit exam?"
As they spoke, they had already entered the hall and found that it was unusually dark, and there was no light in the entire hall, only a little sunlight from the open door, and the outline of the hall could be faintly seen.
The huge hall has no extra decorations except for a walkway paved with red carpet at your feet, and dozens of candlesticks on both sides. The dirty and moldy red carpet under the feet stretched from the north doorway to the southernmost side, and from the south staircase was paved step by step, and at the top of the steps was a standing sarcophagus, which was a little bigger, and very wide, almost close to a square, and stood there like a small three-story building.
Before they could marvel, the door behind them shut, and the last glimmer of light vanished.
Almost at the same time, the candlesticks lit up, the candles seemed to have been lit, but for some unknown reason they were all extinguished halfway through the burn, and the melted red wax hung all over the candlesticks, looking like crimson blood, in this dimly lit environment with only candlelight, extremely eerie.
"Spirit rats, you are here too. ”
The voice was low and terrifying, definitely not a normal voice, they followed the voice, and a cloud of black smoke appeared in front of the huge sarcophagus at some point, submerging the sarcophagus, and two red lantern-like balls of light appeared in the black mist, like two eyes.
"Knowing that we are spirits, you still dare to show up?, where are you a lonely ghost?!" Bai Makui said in a lofty voice.
"Spirit ...... Hehe, when my kids are done, I'll come and visit, but now, I probably don't have to do it. ”
As soon as the thing finished speaking, a long knife passed through the chest of a student from behind.
Everyone turned their heads suddenly, the knife had been drawn, the cold light flashed, and another boy clutched his severed neck, and fell to the ground breathless with the boy who had been pierced through the chest.
"Jia Yun?!" Bai Makui looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief, with an indifferent expression as always, and the long white knife in his hand was dripping with blood. The bespectacled boy roared angrily, and the purple light in his hand gathered into a long whip, which rolled up her knife, she didn't panic at all, only glared at the long whip with a cold look, and the long whip immediately turned into pieces, and with a backhand knife, his neck was also slashed.
In less than five seconds, three boys fell. Shiratori Ling covered his mouth in shock and shouted, the strongest backer last night has now become their enemy, this is simply an invincible monster.
Jia Yun walked towards them with a knife, and Bai Makui and Bai Birdzhi immediately protected her, and suddenly they heard a voice from the top of the main hall: "Get down!"
What a familiar voice, the three of them lay on the ground without thinking much about it as they did last night, and countless sword rains fell from the beams of the house in an instant, but they did not pose a threat to the Jia Yun in front of them at all, she quickly waved the knife in her hand, and the extremely fast sword light and sword shadow formed a solid white light shield, and the white light sword rain disappeared without a trace after being bounced away.
After the sword rain stopped, Jia Yun stood with his sword in his hand, looking at the person who jumped off the beam, still expressionless.
The three of them looked at this Jia Yun who jumped down from above in surprise, their eyes scurrying back and forth on these two Jia Yuns, and they fell into extreme panic for a while.
Jia Yun, who had fallen, looked back at the black mist with red eyes, and was murderous, "Xiangliu, make a break!"
......
Masao stood outside the cave, counting that it had been three hours since the seven of them entered the ultra-ancient ruins, and there was still no movement.
What's in that world?
He vaguely felt that there was something terrifying in the world on the back.
Suddenly, a gust of wind arose, and the spiral thundercloud in the sky reappeared, and after a blinding white light, a man stumbled out of the hole.
Zhengxiong hurriedly caught up with her, supported her, and asked, "Jia Yun, where are they?"
Jia Yun ignored him, pushed him away, and staggered to the depths of Lop Nur.
Masao was about to stop her, but there was another white light behind him, and he turned his head and was stunned.
Jia Yun, who appeared again, held a white knife, rushed out angrily, as if he was chasing someone, he looked at the knife in her hand, and didn't dare to step forward, but she rushed over, grabbed him by the collar and shouted, "What about her?!"
"Should...... I should ask you, right, what about them?"
"It's all dead...... a trace of regret flashed in her eyes, more of repentance, and after a while, she let go of Masao and left alone.
Everything was calm, and Masao looked at the quiet ruins and fell to his knees in despair.
Where did they go?
What happened in that world?
Masao had many premonitions of extreme accuracy, and this time, his hope failed.
He had a hunch that there was something in that world, and he wanted to pass through this portal and reach this world.
