On the top of the high tower, strong winds blew, blurring the eyes. Looking up, there was a vast sea of forest all around, and it was impossible to see the edge at a glance. The high and low treetops are like green rolling hills. From time to time, birds and animals pass through the hills, and strange sounds come and go.
In such a wild place, there is absolutely no hint of civilization that can be seen from a distance. Who would have thought that there is a high tower hidden in this gloomy jungle, recording traces of the past.
Wu Gen was sitting on the ground, trying to find out more information from Ji Ye. This was Wu Gen's first contact with the Qi people. This strange race had never been heard of before.
On the other hand, Ji Ye was very familiar with the human race. Not only did he speak fluent elegant language, but he also had a good grasp of the human race's history, culture, education, system, and practice.
Looking at Shui Congyue, Wu Gen felt a hint of worry in his eyes. Wu Gen's heart sank. Even Shui Congyue was so worried. Judging from the information Ji Ye briefly disclosed just now, Qi Ren lives in a place called Kuntianzhou. This continent is isolated overseas and rarely communicates with other continents, so it is not widely spread among the human race.
"Brother Ji, it's really admirable to see you traveling alone in the Great Relic Continent. The journey is difficult, why don't you have any servants or friends to accompany you, so you can have someone to take care of you." Wu Gen said one after another, his eyes But he glanced at Ji Ye's tail.
This person can know so much human knowledge, he must not be from a humble background, otherwise how would he know so much. Just like Wu Gen, he knew nothing about Qiren, but Shui Congyue obviously knew something, but it was difficult to say it clearly since Ji Ye was present.
Ji Ye smiled slightly and said, "Brother Wu is serious about it. Although Da Yizhou is full of dangers, it also has great opportunities. To be honest, my family does not agree with my coming here, but how can I miss this opportunity that only takes ninety-nine years to come."
When I came here, firstly, there were some chronic diseases in the clan and I wanted to see if I could find a solution here. Secondly, I also wanted to see the charm of each clan and learn from each other.
Ji Ye was calm. While answering Wu Gen, he glanced at Shui Congyue, "My dear friend, when you climbed the tower in the past few days, you have been moving forward bravely. I admire you a lot. Why don't you have time to learn from each other?" How about a moment."
Shui Congyue said coldly: "I admire you but I can't take it seriously. Your Excellency climbed the tower alone and was still calm and composed. It was so difficult for six of us to go in together. There is no need to be so hypocritical when making judgments. It's easy to talk about the discussion, but I just take action. It's very heavy. If I miss it, please forgive me."
Ji Ye was not angry, but nodded slightly, "It's just right to have such a discussion. From birth to adulthood, Qi Ren, no matter how high or low he is, has been fighting all the way. Regardless of victory or defeat, only those who dare to fight are warriors. So please don't hold back, Brother Shui." , use all your means. As for the talk about superiority just now, in fact, I was able to successfully climb the tower because of my cultivation skills. Putting aside this level, my cultivation level is actually average."
Seeing that this person was speaking openly, Shui Congyue's expression also softened, "Then let's choose a day that doesn't hit the sun, so why not compete here. I'm waiting for a few of them to continue moving forward, and I'm afraid they won't be able to stay for long," he said. He stood up and made a gesture of invitation.
"Brother Shui, don't worry. You have been fighting with the soul mark for many days these days, and you are already exhausted. I have a merciless request. Since we are all traveling, why not go together together, and we can learn from each other on the road." Zheng said. As he looked, Ji Ye turned around suddenly with an unhappy look on his face, "What are you two doing?"
Wu Gen and Baoxiang stood up from Ji Ye's tail and said, "Okay, as long as you go with us, we can do it. But Lao Ji, what's the use of your tail? It's so weird."
Ji Ye's face darkened, "It's rare to see this, but it's strange." But he didn't want to talk to Wu Gen.
Shui Congyue also looked embarrassed. The two of them did some boring things from time to time. It was like asking someone in person what the use of a beard is. How do you ask someone to answer.
The few people agreed that Ji Ye would walk with Wu Gen and others from now on, watching each other, and not making any moves before leaving Dayi Continent.
While they were talking, the bridge attendant suddenly heard a scream and fell heavily from the snake-shaped sculpture.
It turned out that as soon as they reached the top of the tower, the bridge team was attracted by the snake-shaped sculpture, climbed up and down, and looked carefully. I don’t know what the animal discovered. It was so excited and cheered, but it accidentally fell off the sculpture.
Why did Wu Gen and Bao Xiang run away?
In the past, this snake-shaped sculpture looked unusual at first glance, maybe it was some kind of treasure.
Ji Ye glanced at the three people gathered together and said to Shui Congyue sympathetically, "Brother Shui, it's been a hard journey." Being surrounded by these teammates was really tiring.
Shui Congyue rarely uttered a rebuttal, but just took a deep breath.
"I probably know the function of the snake sculpture." Qiao Ban got up from the ground excitedly, pointed at the snake sculpture and said to Wu Gen, "This thing may be said to be a magic weapon, but it is very different from ordinary magic weapons. Generally speaking, it is a magic weapon. The magic weapon is driven by spiritual energy, but Da Yizhou has almost no spiritual energy, so what does it rely on?"
Speaking of this, Qiao Ban deliberately paused and looked at the people gathered around him with an arrogant expression. "That's it." He pointed at the sun in the sky.
He raised the smaller snake sculpture in his hand and pointed at the crystal in it, "This crystal is quite wonderful. It can store the brilliance of the sun and moon, replacing spiritual energy. Everyone has seen it last time. After all these years, its power cannot be underestimated. The one at the top of the tower seems to be more powerful. Once activated, it should be easy to destroy the city. It's a pity that the crystal placed here has disappeared."
"Since these people have such powerful magical weapons, why do so many people die?" Qihe was a little confused.
Qiao Ban scratched his head, he couldn't explain this.
"This is a blood sacrifice." Ji Ye suddenly said, "The power of the crystal here may be gradually losing, or a powerful enemy is attacking, and the brilliance of the sun and moon is used up. So these people used the method of blood sacrifice to inject the essence of human blood into Crystal to maintain the snake sculpture."
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of air-conditioning. What did these one-eyed people do and what kind of threats faced them? They actually sacrificed so many clan members to keep the snake eagle running.
It's a pity that in the end, the success fell short, and the clan was destroyed after they sacrificed so many people. It can be seen that blindly relying on external things without strengthening one's own body will eventually lead to a dead end.
Walking down the wind and rain-mottled tower, everyone felt a little heavy. Looking back, Ta looks like a weather-beaten old man, looking alone at his past glory.
Mountains rise and fall, rivers surge and dry up, stars fall from the sky, and majestic towers are submerged in smoke. The world has undergone tremendous changes. In the vast history, how many splendid civilizations have emerged and how many powerful races have been buried. Even if the human race is powerful now and stands at the top of all spirits, will it be lost in the dust of history like these one-eyed people in a few years?
After leaving the tower, the group slept in the open air, weathered the wind and rain, traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, and saw all kinds of strange creatures.
In a swamp, I saw a strange creature. Wu Gen calls these creatures the dying, because this race is about to become extinct, and only nine dying survive in the swamp.
This kind of creature is different from what Wu Gen and others have seen. Each dying person is a black ball with long threads, like a jellyfish, shining with various colors of light in the dark swamp. Singing a sad and ethereal tune.
The deceased had a peaceful temperament and had survived in Dayizhou for thousands of years. But in the end, it could not withstand the invasion of time, and gradually died out in the harsh living environment.
They already have their own language and culture, which is also a sign of the enlightenment of living beings. On the banks of the swamp, there are countless semicircular stone houses, in which the corpses of the deceased are placed. A special method was used to preserve it so that it would not turn into dust.
The remaining nine deceased people wandered on the black stones, leaving inexplicable patterns on the stone tablets. They are using incomprehensible symbols to record the knowledge and past of the race. Trying to stubbornly prove to the world that they have been here and fought hard.
Gently walking past the already carved black stones, and passing by the dying people who were silently carving inscriptions and completely ignoring others, everyone was silent, even the bridge team was much restrained. These black stones are like tombstones. A race that has lasted for thousands of years has come to an end and been annihilated in the long river of time.
How many years later, who will remember this race? Only these black stones can prove the traces of the dying people.
At the bottom of a large lake, Wu Gen and others discovered a ruined wall more than ten feet underwater. Huge stone statues with human heads and animal bodies stand silently in the water.
.
Time flies, and time flies. Some stone statues have been broken and fell to the ground on the wash of water, covered with a thick layer of green moss and water plants.
All the stone statues raised their heads to the sky, their eyes were deep, and their mouths were slightly open, as if they were praying or cursing.
Wandering among the stone statues, those deep eyes seemed to be staring at everyone all the time, which made people feel numb, fearing that if they were not careful, the stone statues would suddenly attack.
Thousands of stone statues stand or fall, guarding the huge city behind them. The endless stone statues were silent and speechless. This scene was so sad, so shocking, and so helpless.
This is a dead race, this is a lifeless world, this is the death of a civilization. The nameless race slept in this deep lake without leaving any records. Only these stone statues told endless helplessness and sadness.
Along the way, the seven people discovered several similar ruins. In a few more years, perhaps these relics will be completely annihilated in the world, and a piece of history will eventually disappear silently from heaven and earth.
Walking on the top of mountains, on the shores of great lakes, in boundless woods, and in vast deserts, the seven people left their footprints everywhere. Measuring the ruins one by one with my footsteps is like crossing a period of dusty history.
Under the setting sun, seven people stood on a high mountain peak, with long shadows behind them, which made them feel a little desolate.
The ancient ruins and ruins are so desolate that I sigh, and the desolate scenery of the river is filled with only the remains of sorrow. But as time passes by, I don’t know how the floating world will rise and fall.
What kind of place is Dayizhou, where so many civilizations have been buried?
