After hearing Song Xing's speculation, Professor Sun couldn't accept it for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, it may not be unreasonable.
The original water body at 30 degrees north latitude is unfathomable. After the Cambrian period, a large number of different types of shelled creatures have undergone tremendous changes. Creatures such as prehistoric nautiluses were carried into the abyss by undercurrents and fell into the cavity with their pressure-bearing shells. , gradually turned into fossils, it is not impossible.
In order to verify whether the guess was accurate, the group continued to walk towards the innermost stone chamber. When they arrived at the innermost stone chamber, they saw that the rock wall formed a circle, and all around the wall were kneeling stone ghost figurines with picturesque ancient patterns on their bodies. Opening his mouth and sticking out his tongue, his appearance is strange.
These are obvious, and they are traces of artificial carvings. The reliefs on the wall and the ghost figurines are all in ancient shapes, and they are obviously leftover from an era earlier than Wu Chu.
Professor Sun stepped forward and looked at it for a long time, and recognized that the patterns on the ghost figurines were similar to the dragon seals of the Xia Dynasty, and they must be the writings left by the Tocharians.
He recalled that the Yinshan Mountains depicted in the ancient Chu murals were shaped like a city gate, an underground magnetic mountain with many disc-shaped objects around it. If this was true, the ancient cave that everyone was entering now was just one of the many caves in the Yinshan Mountains.
From these dragon seals of the Xia Dynasty, Professor Sun saw that it was recorded that King Yu locked up the big snake in the Huai River and dug out the stone tablets of ancient snake worshipers, which contained some incredible secrets.
At that time, the Great Desolation was beginning to subside, the mountains were deep and the earth was thin, and they would crack again and again. Once the whole city and the country fell, it would be impossible to get out again. I asked the Empress Wu to ask the gods to fill the ancient monument under the heavy spring to determine the end of the heaven and the earth. .
The Tocharians who were trapped in the Yu Ruins were bent on retrieving the ancient stele, but no results were obtained until it was completely destroyed. However, these deeds are all recorded on these ghost figurines and are recorded in detail with the dragon seal of the Xia Dynasty.
Because of the age, some of the writings on the ghost figurines have become blurry, but Professor Sun still reluctantly surmised that the key to leaving Cishan lies in the ghost figurines in front of him.
"These ghost figurines themselves are made of black magnetism. The Tocharians are well aware of magnetism and can use meteorite to navigate underground. If this ancient method is followed, moving these ghost figurines may cause a magnetic shift. The ancient fossil cave may Can be pushed through the hole by Hong Bo and completely escape from this magnetic mountain."
Out of trust in Professor Sun's knowledge, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang moved the ghost figurines without saying a word.
These ghost figurines were firmly sucked into Cishan, and it took a lot of effort for the two of them to move them. When they moved to a headless ghost figurine, the surrounding stone walls shook, and the ancient nautilus shell trembled. Sliding from the side of the mountain to the deep water, sinking into the endless void.
The ancient nautilus fossil fell into the rolling flood and was filled with groundwater. However, the interlocking stone chambers inside it slowed down the water volume and pressure layer by layer. It was like a stone sinking into the sea, passing through the boundless turbidity and falling into the infinite. bottom abyss.
Terrifying pressure followed. If Song Xing hadn't released his true energy in time to protect everyone, they would have been seriously injured by the water pressure.
It was unknown how long the ancient nautilus fossil had been missing. When Song Xing felt the pressure lighten, he guessed that it had passed through the bottom of the abyss and fell into a mantle groove with no underground water.
Under the heavy spring, further down is the sea formed by the condensation of hot gas and magma. It is isolated by high-density diffuse gas in the middle. The falling water evaporates into thick fog, and there is plenty of air.
Walking out of the fossils, in addition to the endless water mist, there are countless colorful and huge cheese plates, shaped like clouds.
After adapting to the pressure of the ground, everyone followed Song Xing and stepped on these meat mushrooms.
Along the way there are hundreds of meters of underground meat mushrooms, and empty shells of petrified ammonite are scattered everywhere below. They have all kinds of strange shapes and are all unusually large. It is obvious that this area was a prehistoric sea in ancient times.
Passing through Ruzhilin is a natural crystal cave, flowing through an underground river, passing through the huge crystal jungle, and entering another huge cave.
They didn't know how far they walked until they discovered ancient murals on the rock wall of the cave, which refreshed everyone.
The only civilization that could emerge in this abyss was the original civilization of snake worshipers, which meant that the direction they were looking for was not wrong.
Ancient rock paintings from thousands of years ago remain to this day. They are the original totems left by snake worshipers. Following these murals, we walked to the hinterland of the mountains on one side of the deep valley, and unexpectedly saw the outline of the face of Quetzalcoatl carved on the rock wall.
As the god worshiped by snake worshipers, finding this place is equivalent to finding the main city where snake worshipers originally lived.
Sure enough, they found a doorway at the mouth of Quetzalcoatl, and entering it was a large underground ancient city.
Through Professor Sun's inspection of the city, he discovered that it turned out to be a huge tomb.
According to him, the ancient snake worshipers belonged to the ancestral civilization. They believed in reincarnation and believed that as long as the soul did not fall into nothingness after death, it could still be reincarnated.
But only by dying in this ancient city built in the belly of Quetzalcoatl can snake worshipers have the chance to be reincarnated.
As if to confirm what Professor Sun said, when they entered the ancient city, they were shocked to see that in all the holes in the walls of the ancient city, there were countless dead faces, overlapping them one after another.
With so many years of history, the dead bones and the rock wall have become one, half stone and half bone.
"There are so many corpses. Could it be that all the snake-worshipping civilization died here?" Fatty Wang was also shocked when he saw so many corpses.
Professor Sun speculated that the snake worshipers dug through the earth's crust, causing great floods and leading to the demise of civilization. Except for a small number of people who fled to the surface, most of them should have been trapped and died in this underground dead city.
Seeing that he had found the ancient book of the snake worshiper, it must contain the secret of the ancient god he was looking for. Not to mention the corpses scattered everywhere, even if there were multiple corpses, Song Xing would not be able to take a step back.
Ignoring the corpses all over the city, Song Xing released the five ghosts and began to search for useful clues in this dead ancient city.
Sure enough, in the center of the dead city, the five ghosts discovered a huge relief.
The relief scene is huge. The scene is located in a large underground cave. There is a pattern like a towering old tree underneath. There are nine huge stone tablets erected under the cave.
However, a piece of this place was deliberately chipped away, and it is impossible to tell what it was originally. There are mountains of corpses in front of the ancient monument, surrounded by a sea of nothingness that symbolizes the afterlife. On the sea, there is a strange snake with a human head and bird feathers on its back. , carrying several kings wearing gold ornaments.
"It seems that these stone tablets are the King Yu's tablets that the descendants of snake worshipers are searching for!"
Coming to the relief, Song Xing carefully studied the pattern on it: "Looking at the records on it, it seems that the Monument of King Yu originally belonged to the snake worshipers, and was not forged by Dayu later. It is rumored that Dayu general Yu It seems inaccurate that the Wang Monument sank into the abyss to suppress the flood."
There are also some ancient seals engraved next to the relief. After Professor Sun carefully identified it, it said that anyone who sees the stone tablet will be scared to death!
"Scared to death? Are there any scary things carved on the stone tablet?" Song Xing was a little surprised.
Professor Sun shook his head: "There is a missing piece of the relief, and it seems to have been dug out deliberately. However, these written records are very sure that as long as someone sees the stone tablet, they will be scared to death. The descendants of the snake worshipers seem to have wanted to do it because of this legend." We need to find the stone tablet and fight against Yu the Great."
