If people’s hearts are not as old as they used to be, how can even mountains learn to touch porcelain?
Yuchen was also stunned for a moment, then his expression changed, he grabbed me, pulled me into his arms, then hugged me and jumped into the air.
As soon as the two of us took off, we heard a loud roar, and yellow sand rose up from below. The mountain we were standing on collapsed, and quicksand formed below. The surrounding yellow sand was like a funnel, moving towards the central depression.
flow away.
As the depression expands, the area of quicksand becomes larger and larger, forming a large vortex below, as if there is a bottomless hole under the yellow sand. The sand must be poured down to fill the big hole below.
As the sand poured down below, I turned my head and looked at the stone in my hand.
At first glance, I thought it was a stone on the mountain. At second glance, I thought it was a rusty broken sword. Now I looked carefully and realized that it was neither. It was a piece of artificially carved stone, rectangular, somewhat similar in shape.
The broken sword had complex graphic incantations carved on the surface of the stone. I didn’t recognize a single word of the ancient incantation, but I had a feeling that I had caused a big disaster.
This thing was obviously inserted there by someone. It is covered with charms and looks like the eye of a magic circle. When the eye is there, the magic circle is there. When the magic circle is there, things trapped by the magic circle cannot escape.
But now, the formation eyes are gone and the magic circle has collapsed. If there are any demons and ghosts suppressed in the magic circle, I have already released them by now.
I really want to give myself a slap in the face and let you touch everywhere! Don't touch cultural relics and historic sites blindly, and travel in a civilized manner, don't you know?
The collapsed area below was very large, as if there was a palace hidden under the yellow sand. I felt guilty for a while. If this was really a magic circle, and the magic circle was so huge, the things contained in the magic circle must be extraordinary.
Even if it's not a magic circle, it's a historic site. Then I'll collapse other people's historic sites...
I turned to look at Yuchen and said seriously, "Yuchen, let's run."
No matter what the situation was, I didn't want to bear the consequences. Fortunately, this place is far away from the Yangshi and there are no tribes living here. I ran away without much psychological pressure.
Yuchen was startled for a moment, then looked down at me, unable to stop the smile on his lips, "Run away after making a mistake?"
Yuchen and I looked at each other and whispered, "I just don't want to cause trouble."
We have enough troubles. Xiao Sigu, Yun Ling and Liao Ruchen were poisoned. Yun Ling's essence beads and luck beads were stolen. Little Pearl was missing, and I don't know what her purpose was. These things have been
We can't handle it anymore. We're here to find the antidote, so we don't want to get into any more trouble.
Thinking of this, I want to give myself a slap in the face again to make you mean! If you hadn't pulled out this stone, the following things wouldn't have happened.
Yuchen lowered his head, kissed my forehead gently, and whispered to comfort me, "Don't worry, it might not be a problem. We have to figure out what is happening here. The antidote we are looking for may be here."
Yuchen was my spiritual support. A few words calmed my restless heart. I lowered my head and looked down.
After a large area collapsed, the speed of the surrounding quicksand slowed down, and the central depression completely sunk in, revealing a Western castle-like dome and pointed top decoration.
The top decoration is a stone stick similar to the one in my hand. Complex incantations are carved on the surface of the stone stick. A big green snake is wrapped around the stone stick. The snake's head is raised, its mouth is open, and it roars towards the sky.
The green snake was carved very realistically. At first glance, I thought there was a real snake coiled there. The texture on the surface of the green snake's body was carved out, and a pair of scarlet snake eyes emitted a shining cold light. Not only was the shape similar, but the expression was also very lifelike.
, if I hadn’t been able to sense the breath of the green snake, I would have really regarded this snake as a living creature.
Opposite the green snake, a dome is exposed more than ten meters away. There is a stone stick standing on the dome, and a scarlet snake is wrapped around the stick. Like the green snake, the red snake is also very lifelike, with its head raised towards the
The sky roared.
I was stunned for a moment, "There is really a palace hidden under here!"
Yuchen hugged me and fell down, because he didn't know whether the yellow sand below would continue to collapse. For safety reasons, the two of us landed on the exposed dome.
The stone-carved dome may have a long history. As soon as Yuchen and I stood on it, it collapsed under our feet. A big hole was exposed, and Yuchen and I fell through the big hole.
Some people walked through the door, some walked through the window. Yuchen and I walked directly onto the roof. We entered the interior of the castle from the roof. We fell suddenly, and before I had time to scream, I heard someone like someone below.
I was frightened and screamed. The screams were very loud, as if there were many people.
I was startled and quickly looked down.
Yuchen and I fell from the highest point of the hall. Standing at a high place, we had a clear view of the situation in the hall.
The whole palace is very huge. There are six large white jade pillars in the palace. The large pillars are similar to the stone sticks inserted on the dome. Runes are carved on the surface of the pillars, and a big blue snake is wrapped around them. On the pillar opposite the big blue snake.
Wrapped in a big red snake.
The big green snake and the big red snake face each other and stand on both sides of the main hall.
The walls of the palace are covered with exquisite murals, and the floor is paved with neat and smooth stone slabs. From the architectural style and these decorations, it can be inferred that this palace is very luxurious, and there should be many treasures placed there.
But the reality is that except for these large pillars, there is almost nothing in the hall! There is no furnishings in the hall, not even a stool. There are some straws in one corner of the hall, and some leaves and fruits piled in the other corner.
some type of.
A group of people stood in the center of the hall, and the screams came from this group of people.
There are about fifty people here, all of them women and children. Everyone is dirty and half-clothed. Many children are naked, and women only use two pieces of cloth to cover their important parts.
, everyone looked sallow and thin, looking like they had been hungry for a long time.
After placing my feet on the floor tiles, I looked at them carefully and then said in surprise, "They are human beings!"
Their physical features and the lack of essence energy coming from their bodies all indicate that they are human beings. But it is also certain that they are not ordinary humans. Ordinary humans cannot survive here under such high temperature and lack of water resources.
came down.
After Yuchen and I descended, we probably discovered that we looked the same as them and were of the same kind. The screams of the crowd stopped. They just gathered together tightly, huddled into a ball, and looked at them with vigilant eyes.
Staring at me and Yuchen.
"They are not demons!" A little boy suddenly pointed at me and Yuchen and shouted, "They look the same as us, they are our same race..."
Before he finished speaking, the little boy was forcefully covered by a young woman.
The woman stared at me and Yuchen nervously, fearing that Yuchen and I would hurt her child.
"You..." A woman who looked about fifty took a bold step forward and asked Yuchen and I, "Who are you? Why did you come to our tribe?"
Just as I was about to speak, Yuchen stepped forward. He frowned and asked in a cold voice, "Are you from the Wuling clan?"
