Everyone was puzzled and squatted down one by one curiously, following Feng Yi's method of looking and touching. After a while, everyone's faces showed surprise: "This..."
"Let's go around and take a look."
Feng Yi led everyone around the city. The more they walked around, the more shocked their expressions became. When they returned to the starting point, they were all dumbfounded.
"Mr. Feng."
Zhang Yunyi pointed at the stones on the ground and said: "I have said before that the hardness of this material is amazing, but along the way, there are traces of slight depressions on each stone. There must be thousands of them at least. What do you think of this?
Caused?"
"Maybe not."
He Yingqiu said: "Maybe the stone was originally like this."
"wrong."
Luo Sang shook his head and said: "The stone here is made of exactly the same material as other stones, so why bother with it? And the closer you get to the ancient city, the more obvious the signs of depression are... It's really strange."
After hearing what a few people said, Xiao Ke squatted down and touched the indentation on the stone, compared it for a while and said: "Master, Senior Sister, why do I feel that this looks like it was made by kneeling?"
"Kneel down?"
Several people asked in surprise: "Why do you say that?"
"That's right. Our Banner Clan has sacrificial activities every year, and there is also a special place for sacrificial rituals. Although it is paved with futons, the masonry of the sacrificial room also has signs of dents because it has been like this for generations."
Xiao Ke gestured on the bricks and said: "Look here, it should be where the knees touch the ground, and here, it should be where the toes touch.
The contact points of the knees are relatively uniform, so the dent marks are even and deeper, while the position of the toes is not so uniform, and the marks are shallower."
After hearing what Xiao Ke said, He Yingqiu came over and patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, Xiao Ke, I can see it all."
Feng Yi and the others squatted down to compare, then nodded and said: "Xiao Ke's statement still makes some sense.
These traces indeed look like those left by people who knelt for a long time, and the closer to the city, the deeper the traces become, indicating that someone knelt there first.”
"Such a hard stone, you can kneel down and leave traces..."
Zhang Yunyi was a little shocked.
"There are two possibilities, one is that it takes a long time, and the other is that you kneel for a long time. Of course, it is also possible that both possibilities are taken up."
Feng Yi stood up and looked up at the city and said: "Every household has a picture of an animal, and these stones have such deep marks. It seems that the people here respect this animal very much."
"maybe."
Luo Sang said: "What if it is a domineering animal that brutally oppresses the people here and turns them into slaves."
"Um."
Feng Yi gave him an appreciative look: "This may not be the case.
Moreover, although we don't know why this ancient city sank into the depths of the sea, it probably didn't encounter any war or anything like that. There are no similar traces on the buildings here. Even if some parts collapsed, it seemed like a natural disaster.
"
"Well, since I came in, I felt that this ancient city has a strange smell. Every house is very tidy, and the stone bowls and chopsticks in the cupboards are all arranged neatly. It doesn't look like someone who is fleeing.
Performance."
Zhang Yunyi said: "If it's just one household, that's it. Every household is like this. No one took away their own tableware. It's obvious that they didn't leave when they were in danger;
In other words, they thought there was no danger, but they guessed wrong."
"Your guess is not unreasonable."
Luo Sang nodded and replied: "Whether it is a natural or man-made disaster, there are many people living here after all, and it can be seen from the dents in the masonry that they have lived here for a long time, even for generations.
So why did they leave?
Every household is so tidy, which shows that they left voluntarily, and they did not take away the dishes and chopsticks when they left voluntarily..."
Zhang Yunyi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Luo Kundao, we have a tacit understanding more and more."
Luo Sang rolled his eyes speechlessly: "This is not a tacit understanding. It can only be said that I agree with your guess."
Zhang Yunyi said disapprovingly: "Isn't this better? It shows that we have the same point of view. To be more precise, we have a common language!"
Luo Sang:......
as long as you are happy.
"It may not be voluntary, it may be unprepared."
Feng Yi took over and said, "There is another possibility. They know they won't need this thing in the future."
Everyone's expressions changed after hearing Feng Yi's words. He Yingqiu frowned and said, "Daozhang Feng, do you mean that these people are all dead, or are they voluntary?"
"It's also possible that they didn't expect something to happen."
Zhang Yunyi said: "Then disaster struck."
No matter what, these are thousands of lives that disappeared at the same time inexplicably, and everyone felt a little depressed.
"According to this assumption..."
Feng Yi rubbed his nose and said: "Maybe it has something to do with animals, their totems."
Everyone nodded silently. If anything is related to faith, no matter how bizarre things happen, they won't be surprised.
After all, faith itself represents fanaticism, obedience, and obsession...
"It's pointless for us to speculate more here. Maybe the answer lies in this city. Let's go in and have a look."
Feng Yi said.
Everyone nodded, but they were more or less wary and defensive.
There is only one gate in the city, which consists of two iron gates about four meters high and two meters wide. The iron gates are simple and simple, but there is some rust.
Feng Yi did not touch the iron door directly. He stretched out his hands and slowly pushed the iron door open with two breaths, one from the left and one from the right.
Rumble!
With a loud noise, the iron doors on both sides were pushed open, and a stream of air surged out from inside, lifting everyone's hair and blowing their clothes.
Scenes like bats, flying insects or hidden weapons did not appear.
Feng Yi was the first to step in, and the others followed him. Xiao Qi was at the end of the team, and the group walked into the city.
After walking through the slightly dark city wall, everyone's sight became clear again. In the center of the city is a palace, which is also square in shape. The palace is about six meters high and is tightly blocked by the tall walls of the city. No wonder
You can't see what's going on inside at all from the outside.
At the top of the palace, there is a small room. Although it is sealed tightly on all sides, there is a faint light shining through it.
"That's the treasure the monster said is there, right?"
Luo Sang pointed to the small house on the top of the palace and said.
Zhang Yunyi made an estimate in his mind and said: "Well, that should be the right location.
However, this city is built so high, and with the kneeling marks left on the bricks outside, it makes you feel high on the one hand, and small and humble on the other. The person who built this city does not look like a benevolent person."
