The three Taoist sects were divided into three teams and began to conduct a blanket search of the capital, hoping to find some clues.
Zhang Lingluo and Bei Gengyun led Xuanzong to explore and search along these ancient streets and markets. Different from cave dwellings, these rooms are mostly made of solid stones cut into square shapes. Larger square stones can even reach half a foot.
Width and length.
In the Central Plains region, only imperial palaces can be built with such large stones.
Because each piece of such a big stone weighs thousands of kilograms, it would take dozens of people with the help of large tools to build such a stone.
As for the buildings on both sides of the street, such large stones can be seen everywhere. It is not rare at this time. Can it be understood that everyone in this capital once possessed divine power.
With such doubts, Zhang Lingluo tried to push the wall. The wall was extremely strong, but only slightly loose. In the outside world, her palm was enough to cause a house to collapse in an instant.
Bei Gengyun saw Zhang Lingluo's actions and asked, "Xuannu, have you discovered anything?"
Zhang Lingluo said: "What a solid house. I don't know how they built it."
"Actually..." Bei Gengyun said and paused.
Zhang Lingluo took over: "In fact, some civilizations in the past were more advanced than now. I don't know why they were lost and short-circuited. This can be seen from the weapons outside."
Bei Gengyun nodded: "That's what I was trying to express just now. The only magical weapons that remain today are all handed down from ancient times. Now we simply can't create these magical weapons."
Zhang Lingluo asked: "Elder Zuo, do you believe in the existence of the age of gods and demons?"
Bei Gengyun said: "I used to think that these were all legends, but since entering this fairy and magic formation, I suspect that there was indeed such an era a long, long time ago."
Zhang Lingluo said with a far-reaching gaze: "What was the sky like at that time, what was the earth like, and what was the air like at that time."
Then he threw another question to Bei Gengyun: "Elder Zuo, since we entered the Immortal Demon Array, under the strong pressure of this land, our cultivation level has been degraded. If this is just the normal environment of this land,
."
Bei Gengyun blurted out: "It's not unusual for a person who grew up here to have supernatural powers."
This principle is obvious and easy to understand. Just like a snow leopard living in a snow mountain, it is not afraid of severe cold at all, because snow leopards have long been accustomed to adapt to this severe cold. If a leopard living in the forest is brought to a snow mountain, it will not survive the whole night.
past.
"Let's go."
In the capital city that had just emerged from the sand, there was still a thick layer of sand on the streets. The bones buried in the sand were vaguely visible, but strangely, there were no traces of any battle.
Bei Gengyun expressed his doubts: "There are not many traces of battle, it's like..."
Zhang Lingluo took over what Bei Gengyun said: "It was like a severe plague suddenly broke out and everyone died overnight."
Bei Gengyun nodded. Unfortunately, only the skeletons were left. It was impossible to tell from the corpses whether the plague caused everyone to die in a short period of time. It was very strange.
It is obviously a place where human beings once lived, but it is silent with only countless bones for company, which gives people an inexplicable feeling of shivers down the spine.
It's as if they will become a part of these dense bones at any time, leaving them for future generations to explore. Life and death are separated by time and space, but they can't tell everything that happened here.
There are some pictures on the walls, full of traces of human life and work. These pictures can also be associated with the life scenes of this place in the past.
There are also some fantastic pictures, most of which are surrounded by dense patterns that resemble words. Unfortunately, even Zhang Lingluo, who is so knowledgeable, cannot understand the meaning revealed by these words.
But she could still feel the solemnity conveyed by these words and patterns.
After a while, Dugu Shangzhi returned with several things in his hand, including exquisite jewelry and a gold-encrusted statue of a god.
Bei Gengyun was confused: "What?"
Dugu Shangzhi threw a stone stick-like object in his hand, and Bei Gengyun raised his hand to help: "It's so heavy, weighing hundreds of kilograms, what is it?"
Zhang Lingluo glanced at it: "Some daily necessities."
Dugu Shangzhi said in a determined tone: "The people here are possessed of divine power, and every item they use is of special importance."
These words also confirmed Zhang Lingluo's inference just now, and her ideas became clearer about where this fairy and magic array was.
It's probably a lost ancient land.
Dugu Shangzhi handed the golden statue in his hand to Zhang Lingluo: "Xuannu, look at it."
Zhang Lingluo took it and looked at this strange Buddha carefully. Its fangs were exposed, its eyes were wide open with anger, its red and yellow hair stood up, and its face was so fierce and evil that it made people shudder.
But he also wears a Buddhist crown on his head, wears colorful clothes on his body, has red eyebrows, and is dressed as a god and Buddha.
There are six arms on the body, the top two arms are raised high, each holding a sword and a spear, the middle two arms hold a bow and a hammer, the lower two arms are closed, and the palms make a seal similar to the lotus of the Buddha.
Bei Gengyun also looked at it carefully: "What is this?"
Zhang Lingluo asked back: "Elder Zuo, what do you think it is?"
Bei Gengyun responded: "It looks like a Buddha and a ghost. If Master Tianxin were here, he might be able to see some mysteries."
Zhang Lingluo asked: "Do you think this Buddha statue doesn't look like the God of Cars?"
"What is the God of Cars?"
"The God of Chariots is one of the eight great kings of Tantric Buddhism in the Western Regions and the leader of the six animals."
Bei Gengyun seemed to understand but asked: "So?"
"The God of Chariots has the ability to conquer evil spirits, so he is called the King of Ghosts by people in certain areas."
Bei Gengyun asked: "Are those good things and evil things?"
Zhang Lingluo said with profound meaning: "If you are a ghost, the car god will be evil, and vice versa."
Tianzong and others were the first to arrive at the palace. These buildings were buried under the sand. Even after thousands of years, they are still magnificent. Various exquisite murals are lifelike, and jewelry and gold can be seen everywhere.
Statues and paintings of gods and Buddhas can be seen everywhere, and even the carved shapes of jewelry and gold reveal traces of gods and Buddhas everywhere. It is simply a country of gods and Buddhas.
There are different opinions on the origin of Buddhism, and even Buddhism, which has been passed down for a long time, is just one of its branches.
Looking at these things in front of her, Zhang Lingluo had a strong feeling that this might be an even more ancient origin.
What if Buddha is just a part of the age of gods and demons?
If Buddha is a tribe from that era, then what are ghosts? Will this relationship be like the hostile relationship between the demon-fighting clan and the demons?
Of course these are just wild guesses.
They cannot understand these ancient characters and patterns at all. Even if there is a historical book in front of them, which details all kinds of history, they will not be able to read it and understand it.
It is better to infer some clues from the legends passed down from generation to generation.
