Wu Yangqi tilted her head and looked at Shen Qi, her expression still so indifferent, as if nothing could change her expression.
Shen Qi noticed Wu Yang Qi's unchanged expression and asked him, "Do you know about the 'relics'?"
When Professor Kang asked him to join the ruins exploration team, the system assistant issued a task. This was the first time he had obtained a system task since he obtained the system. Although he did not know why the system issued such a task, Shen Qi decided to I accepted it because the reward was too tempting.
【An opportunity to transcend】
Detachment means a person who is not bound by tradition, frees himself from the shackles of popular culture, and pursues self-worth.
But here in the system, detachment means an upgrade, a jump in life level!
It is also a transformation from ordinary humans to superhuman beings.
That is...evolution!
Shen Qi guessed that it was probably because his contact with Dr. Kang allowed him to understand a corner of the truth about the world, so such a mission was generated. However, Shen Qi believed that this should be more than just a mission... ...
【Task Log:】
[*Please go explore the ‘unknown ruins’]
[Note: Through contact with a worshiper of a certain supreme divinity, you learned some hidden truths. You discovered that the world is not as simple as it seems, and there seems to be a deep secret hidden behind it. 】
[In order to unlock these secrets and ensure that the world is not peeked by those things, you need to explore the buried and lost ruins to find more clues and truths...]
Looking at the detailed task introduction in the 'Task Log', Shen Qi found that this was the most proactive display of the system assistant, even a little impatient.
It seemed to be urging him to start exploring the ruins as soon as possible.
Shen Qi's eyes lit up. Could it be that... the system has something to do with those ruins?
——
There was no one around the two of them at this time. When Shen Qi was about to talk to Wu Yang Qi, he put Electronic Eyes, Su Qian and Xiao Ai away because Ah Wu needed someone to take care of them.
Because he wanted to ensure that what he was going to say later would not be leaked.
So the fewer people who know, the better.
After hearing the question raised by Shen Qi, Wu Yangqi's eyes changed subtly. She lowered her head slightly and said: "The relics are the traces left over from ancient times and things from the old era. They are the remnants of the previous civilizations. thing......"
Shen Qi frowned and looked at Wu Yangqi and said: "Humanity has evolved and multiplied to this day, which has a history of 250,000 years. However, the history that humans can trace back and have direct evidence to prove is only 4,000 years."
"For more than 200,000 years, most human beings were in a state of ignorance, with no clothes on their bodies, eating hair and drinking blood..."
"Ancient humans huddled in caves, relying on small campfires to protect themselves from the terrifying creatures in the darkness. At that time, they didn't understand how fire came from, and all they could think about was eating, drinking, urinating, and reproducing."
"I know that some individuals with outstanding evolution have gradually gained enlightened spiritual wisdom. These outstanding individuals are called 'prophets' or 'witches'. They are the wise men of ancient human tribes and are responsible for guiding the tribesmen to open up spiritual wisdom."
"When ancient humans gained spiritual intelligence, they became curious about everything around them. Since they could only explore by themselves, some natural laws were extremely mysterious and great in their eyes, such as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, and the shadows of towering mountains. , the flashing thunder and lightning, and the stars in the night sky..."
"Those things they cannot understand are classified as 'gods' by them. They cannot touch those 'gods' and can only look up and sometimes be punished by them. Faced with these powerful forces, they cannot resist, so they They often offer their captured prey to pray for 'God's' forgiveness and blessing."
"Their shamans recorded these things in the form of small murals in the caves where they lived, or on big rocks by the river..."
"These are ancient ruins. The main remaining traces are the graffiti murals."
"After that, many incomprehensible and fearful things gradually decreased with the growth of human intelligence, and the traces left became more and more different..."
"Altars, temples of worship, temples of worship, etc..."
"But that's not what I want to say. I think you know what I'm talking about."
Wu Yang Qi looked up at Shen Qi and said, "The ruins are also a prison."
Shen Qi ignored this sentence and asked: "What kind of place is Guiyang Dao Palace?"
Wu Yang Qi was stunned for a moment. She did not expect that Shen Qi would suddenly change the topic.
"Um, well, we're waiting for a secluded place..."
Shen Qi interrupted Wu Yang Qi and looked directly at her and said, "Guiyang Taoist Palace is actually the ruins of Guiyang, right? The location is where the Patriarch of Guiyang ascended and subdued demons in the past. Am I right?"
Wu Yang Qi opened his mouth slightly and looked at Shen Qi in astonishment.
"Why do you know this?"
Shen Qishu relaxed his frown and said: "I have met Patriarch Guiyang. He borrowed your body to come, and I also know your identity..."
"The bloodline of His seventh bride."
Wu Yangqi fell silent. The person Shen Qi spoke of was the shackles of her destiny.
Shen Qi quickly asked again: "Wu Yang, does your Guiyang Dao Palace know about the ruins exploration team of the scientific research institute?"
Wu Yangqi: "I know that their ruin exploration consultants are from the Guiyang sect..."
Hearing this, Shen Qi couldn't help but frowned.
"Since you know that the ruins are a prison, why do you still send people to help them?"
Wu Yang Qi knew that Shen Qi had misunderstood, so he quickly explained: "Guiyang Taoist Palace is only a part of the Guiyang sect. Under the command of the ancestor, there are also practitioners of the five directions of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. After the ancestor ascended to subdue demons, the five ancestors He went to five directions to suppress evil spirits. As time continued to change, the five ancestors established their own sects.
The people who sneaked into the original exploration team were people from the Fifth Patriarch of Guiyang."
"I understand, it's the people below who have forgotten the rules set by our ancestors."
Shen Qi nodded, indicating that he understood, then he stared at Wu Yang Qi with burning eyes and said:
"I understand. Before you guys came, I promised Professor Kang to join his ruins exploration team. Will your Guiyang Dao Palace stop me?"
Wu Yangqi shook his head.
"You are the person that the Patriarch is paying attention to, and Guiyang Taoist Palace will not stop you."
Hearing this, Shen Qi nodded with satisfaction, and then he said again:
"Wu Yang..."
"?"
"Are you familiar with the ruins?"
Wu Yangqi pondered for a moment and replied: "Each ruins has its corresponding civilization and the gods it serves, so it is impossible to make a judgment before going in. Although there is a space in the ruins where people can get lost, but in my hand There is a 'compass' on it, which can avoid problems in this area..."
As he spoke, Wu Yang Qi looked at Shen Qi, tilted his head and asked, "Do you want to explore the ruins?"
Shen Qi nodded without concealing it, and then said: "Yes, I have a reason to do this."
"Can you come and help me?"
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind the two of them.
