"In oral history, the Fountain of Youth originated from the unconscious digging of a man who quarried stone to build a house. The spring water gushes out from the ground and formed an active spring."
The old patriarch continued to move to the next mural. This mural was the most content-filled mural so far. It used a large number of lines to depict various animals, birds in the sky, beasts on the ground, and running people.
They are running wildly in the picture, all with the same goal - the specially marked spring.
"Can the Fountain of Youth really prevent aging?"
He Ao looked at the mural and asked softly.
"In the legends of our generation, after drinking from the Fountain of Youth, one can indeed live forever," the old patriarch said in a hoarse voice, and his eyes moved to the next mural, "The quarryman who first drank from the Fountain of Youth gained immortality.
.”
In that mural, the little man holding a stick who first dug out the Fountain of Youth stood behind the Fountain of Youth, and the artist who painted the mural painted a smiley face on his face.
In front of him, there were countless lives fighting against each other. Humans and beasts were fighting together, and corpses covered the forest.
The mural uses the symbol of water flow to depict the flowing blood, which gathers into a river and flows into the Fountain of Youth, mixing with the small circle symbolizing the Fountain of Youth.
It looks like the quarryman who was the first to drink from the Fountain of Youth triggered the killings.
He Ao looked at the ninth mural.
In this mural, the quarryman is still standing behind the Fountain of Youth, while the vast expanse of lush forest in front of him has turned into a dry Gobi.
A few little people were lying on the edge of the Fountain of Youth like dogs, drinking the water from the Fountain of Youth. Behind these little people were campsites.
He Ao looked at the drawing of the quarry man, and he found that the artist had added some very small dotted lines to the quarry man's original body structure, which could not be found without looking carefully.
These dotted lines are arranged densely together, almost covering the body of the quarryer.
He Ao's eyes moved downward, and he found that the little people lying down drinking water also had such dotted lines on their bodies, but they were much less than those of the quarrymen.
“What do these dotted lines mean?”
He Ao was not a person who was used to keeping questions in his heart. He pointed at the dotted line and asked softly.
"I don't know," the old patriarch shook his head, "Maybe it's some way of expressing strength. In legends, stone quarryers are very powerful and can even move mountains and fill seas. They are the most powerful beings around."
"Every life around has died?"
He Ao looked at the bare pictures and asked casually.
"That period of history seems to have been deliberately erased. We didn't leave any effective information. Those years were very scary,"
At this point, he paused, "My great-grandfather once told me that in the era ruled by the quarrymen, normal people would be regarded as crazy, so all normal people had to pretend that they were 'normal people', and some
When people pretend, they become truly 'normal'."
A change in groupthink?
"Did your great-grandfather survive the age of quarrymen?"
He Ao suddenly asked casually.
"He lived to be two hundred and nineteen years old," the old patriarch said hoarsely. "I also heard his story from his grandfather."
He controlled the wheelchair and continued forward, reaching the tenth mural. "According to our current estimates, the quarryman's reign was about 1,300 to 900 years ago. He ruled this area for four years.
century."
Nine hundred years ago, it was less than a hundred years before Chenxi City was established.
He Ao looked at the tenth mural. The description of this mural was very simple. There were dark clouds in the sky, and a ray of light pierced the dark clouds. In the light stood a tall figure, holding a long stick in his hand.
The stone man fell at his feet.
Those with dotted lines on their bodies, the minions of the quarrymen also fell around.
Most of the surrounding camps collapsed, with little people running away at the bottom.
The Fountain of Youth in the center of the picture is also covered by collapsed rubble.
"In the last days of the Quarry Man's rule, his sphere of influence had expanded to hundreds of kilometers north and south. He was as strong as a god and invincible. At this time, a man who claimed to be a wizard appeared. He was the most powerful among the Quarry Man.
Defeated the quarrymen."
The old patriarch slowly narrated, "After the quarrymen died, our ancestors who were still alive fled their original places and migrated to the north."
He Ao looked at the tenth mural. The way the 'wizard' appeared reminded He Ao of a word,
'Angel'.
And it seems that this 'wizard' is a good person, at least, he is sane.
If the legend of the Andavi family is correct, then by occupying an area of hundreds of kilometers, the quarrymen are the strongest group of B-level angels, even if they are not A-level angels.
That 'wizard' could defeat him easily and didn't care about the Fountain of Youth. He was most likely already an A-level 'angel'.
Does this mean that about nine hundred years ago, humans in the copy world had already figured out a way to maintain their sanity and become angels?
After the last copy, He Ao already knew that wizards were not a specific name for a certain person, but the self-proclaimed name of a group of people who pursued the truth during the Great Cataclysm.
Has this ‘wizard’ already obtained part of the ‘truth’ and entered the ranks of angels?
And it's so close to Chenxi City.
The commander of the Chenxi City Defense Army seems to be an angel. Is there a connection between the two?
It is a pity that all the history at that time is only a fragment of the legend of the Andavi family, and Ho Ao is not sure whether it is really an angel.
He turned his attention to the eleventh mural. This mural was very simple. It was that the Andavi family left their original residence and went to a new area.
There is no human habitation here, surrounded by desolate deserts with no animals on the ground and no birds in the sky. It should not be far from the core area originally ruled by the quarrymen.
However, the artist who painted the mural painted a little bit of sprouting branches among the rocks, which seemed to imply that everything was recovering.
In the past, the surrounding Gobi itself was an abnormal phenomenon, caused by the rule of quarrymen, but now nature has returned to its original appearance.
However, what the quarrymen did seemed to be really amazing, even the turf was removed.
Why does he want to make the surroundings look like such a Jedi?
He Ao turned his head and took another look at the mural of the quarrymen.
Then he walked towards the twelfth mural. In this mural, the surroundings were restored to full vitality. The center of the picture was a simplified version of the camp. In the center of the camp was a circular building, which is similar to where He Ao is now.
The camps are already very similar.
It seems that the Andavi family has recovered from the war.
“Can the place where the Fountain of Youth used to be still be found now?”
He Ao looked at the mural and asked softly.
"it's here."
The old patriarch raised his hand and pointed to a corner of the mural.
In that corner, a majestic city stood faintly.
Limen City.
······
After going round and round, I am back to the starting point.
"Is there a relatively certain location?"
He Ao looked at the old patriarch.
The construction of a fortress city will inevitably face a series of mountain removal and lake filling.
The terrain in the original murals should have disappeared.
In this situation, looking for a fountain of youth buried underground is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
"We don't have the specific location of the Fountain of Youth," the old patriarch shook his head, "but we have preserved the route map of our original migration, which may be able to give you some help."
After that, he opened the small box hanging under the left armrest of the wheelchair, took out a mini tablet computer, swiped a few times with his fingers, and then opened a high-definition picture to show it to He Ao.
"These are scanned pictures," the old patriarch explained, "but the resolution of those pictures is not particularly high. Such high-definition scans can also be used, but these are secrets in our clan, and only members of the clan with higher status and
Only the clan leader can read it, so I can’t let you take a copy away.”
He Ao:······
They were just looking at the ancient murals and guessing about the lost history, but suddenly, the old patriarch took out a tablet and showed him the high-definition scan.
Reasonable, but a little strange.
There is a feeling of traveling through time.
However, he did not continue to think about these. He looked at these scanned documents, activated his super memory, and quickly glanced at them.
The resolution of the old patriarch's tablet computer is not low, and the accuracy of the scanner is also very high. Many details and even damage on the picture are clearly visible.
There are four migration maps in total, each depicting the migration paths of the Andavi family in different time periods. The mapping methods of these migration maps are completely different from the mapping standards currently used by the federation. They should be the mapping methods invented by the Andavi family themselves, or by someone.
A popular charting method of an era.
However, the meaning of each icon is marked on the picture, so He Ao does not have much difficulty in reading, but it is more troublesome to change his thinking.
