The stone seat that Mustache saw was to the north of the other stone seats. It was relatively large. Without any explanation or explanation, people could tell that the person who sat on this stone seat must have been the person with the highest status.
In other words, this should be the seat of Big Root.
This space located in the center of the altar base has been repaired very smoothly, and the ground has been completely polished. At the position of the mustache, if you look carefully, you will find that the seat of the Great Lute is not flat. There is no problem with the stone seat itself.
Yes, what makes it uneven is the ground under the seat.
An idea suddenly came to Xiao Hu's mind. He felt that this heavy stone seat must be pressing down on something.
This may be the only small detail worth noting in the whole space, but Mustache knows that behind some small details, there are often very important things hidden. He called Jinpu Awang and went to the big stone seat to take a look. This is
There is nothing unusual about the stone base on the surface.
"This stone base has been moved before." Xiao Hu looked at it for a while and looked close to the ground. He saw a very thin gap between the ground and the bottom of the stone base.
After the two people determined the situation, they began to think of ways to push the stone base. At first, Xiao Xiu thought that the stone base was difficult to push, and its weight was estimated to be more than one ton. Xiao Hui changed the pushing position back and forth, and when he
When he and Jinpu Awang re-adjusted the direction of their force, the heavy stone base suddenly seemed to be moved by an invisible force, and became relatively lighter. With the strength of the two people, it was slowly moved.
Arrived to the side.
When the stone base was completely pushed away, a sealed opening was revealed on the ground below the stone base. This opening was not very obvious, and there was some adhesive on the joints, but Mustache could still see it at a glance.
He came out. He tried to start unpacking the bricks, but he didn't dare to do it too fast. There seemed to be some supernatural things in every ancient ruins, which was difficult to guard against.
After two stone bricks sealing the entrance were removed, the hole in the ground became more conspicuous. According to this seal, no one should have opened the seal since the migration of the ancient religion until now. In this way, Xiao
Beard and Jin Pu Awang will face some unforeseen dangers, but there will always be gains. If there is something or a secret under the seal, then they can be the first to access it.
"It's a dead hole." Mustache lay down next to the seal of two removed stone bricks and observed for a while, and then determined that this was a dead hole that was not connected to the outside world. The air quality inside was not very good due to the year-round airtight environment.
, and there is an indescribable smell of decay and dampness.
But this hole should be very big, or the hole extends very long elsewhere, so the air quality is not good, but you can barely breathe. Mustache removed all the stone bricks sealing the hole. The diameter of the hole is about two meters, which can
He went down alone easily. He and Jinpu Ngawang shined the light in. It can be seen that the original believers spent a lot of effort in repairing the hole behind the seal. Behind the seal is a neat stone step, and below the step
The passages are neatly built with stones up, down, left and right.
It may be a professional habit. Whenever Mustache sees this kind of passage that is buried deep underground and is not too wide, he will think of the corridor in the underground tomb.
"Go down and have a look."
They couldn't smell a trace of danger, but that didn't mean there was no danger. They thought there was no danger under the canopy of the big tree for a long time. The mustache's face regained a little color, and its front straightened again.
The wound on the chest, and then slowly walked away from the seal.
The underground passage is relatively wide, about three meters, and the height is also three meters. This is definitely not a temporary project. When walking in the passage, Mustache naturally thought of the passage that Jin Pu Awang had interpreted.
In the history of Annihilation, the decision-makers of the ancient religion once wanted to implement a huge plan, and they buried something underground.
And the purpose of this passage, whose purpose is not yet known, brings Xiaozhu a lot of daydreams. He thinks that such a strong passage may be intended to be used for many years when it is built, so where will the end of the passage be?
The passage was roughly straight. As they walked, the two of them wanted to find some clues on the stone walls on both sides. However, the passage was very clean. There were only a few scratches on the stone walls on both sides, which were naturally left when carrying and knocking stones.
It doesn't mean anything.
Although the passage is very straight and flat, they walk very slowly because they have to keep their nerves tense at all times and sense dangers that may come from any corner. Such slow walking allows them to maintain keen observation when walking along the way.
When walking along the passage for about a hundred meters, Jinpu Ngawang first discovered a few small characters carved on the right side of the stone wall against the base of the wall.
"It's ancient Tibetan." Jinpu Ngawang squatted down and made a distinction. There was no consistency in ancient Tibetan. Each region had its own script, which was almost completely different from today's Tibetan. Jinpu Ngawang thought about it and realized that this
A few small characters carved at the bottom of the stone wall are two sentences.
There is no eternity in the world, so we long for eternity.
These handwritings left inside the ruins should have been left by the people involved at the time. They contain a lot of information, are very authentic, and are quite valuable. But other than these two words, there is no other content.
"Do they know that eternity actually does not exist?" Mustache is a little confused. What ancient religions worship and pursue is blood and eternity. However, when the most fundamental beliefs of a religion are not believed by believers, then the meaning of their existence becomes unclear.
What is it?
Following these two sentences, Mustache thought of the bronze medal incident. Maybe these two sentences are also an answer. In the incident of reincarnation of immortality, many, many people firmly believe that immortality is real, as long as they get it
Necessary things can be realized if there are suitable conditions. However, in the Ali area where the chakra-eye sacred objects appear the most, the earliest owners of the sacred objects and the believers of the ancient religion have never pursued the secret of immortality.
"No wonder they don't pursue it." Xiao Hu thought: "It turns out that a long time ago, they knew that nothing in the world can last forever, including human life."
The person who left this sentence probably carved it casually. It does not have a very special meaning, but is more like expressing the emotions in his heart. People who do not believe in eternity, then what they care about is this life, the immediate benefits and everything.
Xiaozi and Jinpu Awang looked here for a while, and then walked down the stone wall. No writing was found in front of them. Although they walked very slowly, there was no stagnation in the middle. The passage after that was slightly curved, maybe
It was selectively punched out based on the structure of the underground soil and stone layers. After the two of them walked along the passage for about a hundred meters, Mustache seemed to suddenly realize something.
He raised his hand and looked at the compass. There was nothing unusual about the environment here, and the compass was normal. When he saw the compass, he became more convinced.
"I think we are heading in the direction of that big tree."
This is indeed the case. The direction in which the passage extends is the entrance of the abyss, which is where the big tree is. Thinking of this, Mustache is a little excited, because he can feel that if the underground passage really continues to extend in the current direction.
If they go down, they will definitely be able to follow the ground where the big tree is.
If that's the case, the two people have every chance of seeing what's under the big tree.
Thinking of this, Mustache realized that there should be no clues in the passage itself. All the secrets were at the end of the passage. They gave up exploring the passage and gradually accelerated their pace.
One hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters...
When the distance traveled reached about one mile, it was where the big tree was. Mustache and Jinpu Awang walked side by side, slowing down again. The strong lights in their hands shone forward together, and the passage was slightly dim.
It turned a corner, and this curvature adjusted the slight direction of deviation.
"The passage is at the end." Mustache took a breath, feeling a little shocked, but this situation is actually reasonable.
His guess was not wrong at all. The end of the passage was directly under the big tree. The tangled roots of the big tree had grown deeply in the soil under the stone layer for who knows how many years, like a miniature
But it is a very complex urban sewer system. They can't see the main root yet, but in the soil where the tree roots are, someone has obviously repaired a stone chamber.
The stone chamber was entirely made of stones and was already torn apart. Jinpu Awang hesitantly turned his head and looked at Mustache: "Will there be people living down here?"
"No." Mustache quickly analyzed the most appropriate answer based on the situation in front of him.
The stone chamber was built before the big tree grew, and then this tree was planted in the stone chamber. The growth of this tree was completely out of control. It took root and sprouted directly from the stone chamber, and then penetrated the thick soil layer.
It has been arching out of the ground. As it grows, its roots become thicker and thicker, and the root system becomes more and more numerous. The thick tree roots penetrate deeper and slowly collapse the stone chamber.
Through the light, you can see that among the piles of collapsed rocks, the roots of the big trees are like tentacles, firmly grasping the surrounding rocks and soil.
"There must be a reason why they planted this tree like this."
How many years can a whitebark pine live? There is no definite conclusion on this. However, if something is out of common sense, we can no longer use common sense to examine it. Mustache no longer thinks about why the tree grows like this. He has been thinking about this.
What is the necessary and direct connection between a huge tree and the huge plan of ancient religion?
"Why do they plant trees in stone chambers underground?" Jinpu Awang shook his head, unable to guess the answer.
"The truth lies ahead." Mustache took steps, approaching the collapsed stone chamber and countless roots step by step.
