Jiancheng is a very inconspicuous small county town.
In the central region, there are dozens of counties like Jiancheng that are not well known to the world. They have average economies and average environments, and have not produced any famous figures in history.
In such a county, daily life is calm and peaceful. Although the entertainment life of the people in the county cannot be compared with that of first-tier cities, they still have such a leisurely life.
However, during this period, Jian Cheng's peace was broken.
Seven days ago, all the people in Jiancheng only felt the ground shaking at night, and those residents living on the sixth floor or above found that their houses were shaking violently.
At first, all the people in Jiancheng thought it was an earthquake and ran out of their rooms one after another. But then they found out that it was not the case, because the shaking lasted for a minute and then disappeared. At the same time, all the people in Jiancheng
The people saw a ray of red light reaching into the sky in the southeast direction of Jian City.
Jiancheng does not have many scenic spots. The only thing it has is a virgin forest. However, because it is very steep and there are many poisonous insects and fierce snakes in the forest, even the locals in Jiancheng do not go there, let alone develop it into a tourist attraction.
Yes, it has always been closed.
"Is there a forest fire?"
"Is there still some shaking caused by a meteorite falling in this forest?"
The people in Jiancheng continued to speculate, and there were various theories. Some said it was a spaceship crashing, some said it was a meteorite, and some even speculated that aliens had visited the earth.
In short, according to normal circumstances, such news would be reported by the media and reporters the next day, but the people of Jiancheng discovered the next day that such a big thing was just downplayed in the local media.
reported it.
"Today, in the southeast forest of Jiancheng, a rocket deorbiting device that successfully tested fell fell. Relevant experts are on their way to clean it up. People are asked not to go to the southeast forest during this period to avoid exposure to radiation."
As soon as the official news came out, the people in Jiancheng returned to normal except for cursing a few times. No one thought about going to the southeast forest, because a radiation can scare everyone.
However, even so, there were still some armed police guarding the southeast forest, prohibiting anyone from entering the forest.
For the people of Jiancheng, this was just an episode, a topic for chatting after dinner. However, only the hotels and hotel owners in Jiancheng knew that their hotels and hotel rooms were all full in the past three days.
It seemed that Jiancheng was suddenly flooded with thousands of outsiders.
Entrance to the southeastern forest.
"Minister, more and more people from the metaphysics community have arrived. According to the housing records we have obtained from various hotels, at least a thousand people from the metaphysics community have arrived in Jiancheng."
"This is normal. When such energy fluctuations are spread, it would be strange if these people from the metaphysics community don't come over. However, if the order is passed, no one is allowed to enter the southeast forest, including those from the metaphysics community."
"Minister, do you want to say hello to Master Qin?"
Cao Xuan glanced at his subordinate, shook his head after a while, and said: "Forget it, don't disturb Master Qin about this matter for now, and then contact Master Qin after the matter is found out."
As the minister of a department responsible for supervising the metaphysical world, Cao Xuan has some small ideas of his own. If he has to trouble Qin Guoshi with everything, then what is the use of having him as a minister?
"Let's go and take a look first."
Cao Xuan and his group walked towards the forest. After one of them disappeared, they arrived at the center of the forest. There were hundreds of armed policemen guarding it. Inside, many experts in white clothes were carrying machines to check again.
What are you wearing?
Cao Xuan stopped and looked forward. There was a huge oval-shaped sinkhole in front of him. At a glance, it really looked like it was caused by the crash of an alien spacecraft in the movie.
However, the huge sinkhole in front of us is more like an enlarged version of a bowl. The difference is that the bottom of this bowl is empty, like a deep abyss.
"What's going on down here?" Cao Xuan asked a middle-aged man wearing glasses next to him.
"Minister, according to the detection by experts, this filled pit is very deep, probably deeper than all previous sinkholes. At least our equipment has not yet detected the bottom of this sinkhole."
"It's been so long and we still haven't detected the bottom of this sinkhole. Is it possible that this sinkhole could be hundreds of thousands of meters deep?" Cao Xuan frowned. These expert teams arrived yesterday. One day has passed.
, it should be able to detect at least a few hundred kilometers in length.
"Minister, that's not the case, but our equipment lost its signal after entering the depth of two thousand meters of the sinkhole, and the camera bound above was no longer able to capture any images."
Hearing his subordinate's answer, Cao Xuan's expression also became solemn. At two thousand meters, this height has already broken the deepest depth of the current sinkhole, and once this depth is reached, many measurement methods are useless.
To give a simple example, when normally measuring the depth of some underground wells or pits, you can directly tie a stone with a rope. When you feel that the rope no longer has the force to fall, that is the end.
But once the depth exceeds two thousand meters, even if it reaches the bottom, because there are too many ropes below, there will still be a downward pulling force, and it is impossible to detect whether it has reached the bottom through the force of the fall.
"Currently, experts are conducting one final test. If it still doesn't work, they will have to arrange for someone to go down."
Cao Xuan pondered for a while and then asked: "Has anyone found out how this sinkhole appeared?"
"According to the analysis made by experts, it should be caused by subsidence. However, such a huge subsidence has never been seen before. In addition, according to the detection of nearby plates by geological experts, no plate movement was found nearby.
traces of.”
Cao Xuan frowned, but at this moment, there was an exclamation from over there.
"Minister, look!"
Hearing the noise, Cao Xuan and a few people around him hurriedly walked forward. There were several monitors there, and at the moment some experts were surrounding them.
"Minister, look here quickly. This is the scene below the sinkhole just captured by the camera."
Cao Xuan walked in, and a man in front of the monitor pressed the remote control in his hand. The screen on the monitor began to regress, and it was always black.
However, after going backwards for half a minute, the picture on the monitor suddenly changed. It was no longer pitch black, but a ray of light appeared.
"This is?"
Cao Xuan's mouth opened wide, and the people around him exclaimed again. Even those who had seen this scene before were shocked again at this moment.
"Immediately, no, immediately ask the higher-ups to send more manpower to surround me heavily. In addition, the ministers from the ministry ordered them all to arrive and wait here, and no one is allowed to come in."
After a while, Cao Xuan suddenly roared and issued several orders almost instantly. As he spoke, his body was still trembling slightly.
"Minister...Minister, should you inform Qin Guoshi about this?" A subordinate next to Cao Xuan asked again.
"There's no rush yet."
Cao Xuan shook his head. There was one thing he didn't tell the people below. After all, they represented the country, while Qin Guoshi was him. Sometimes, he had to make a clear distinction.
"Minister, it has appeared again. No, it is moving, and it is moving upward."
In the monitor, light appeared again. It was an extremely huge ancient city. The most important thing was that it was an ancient city made of white jade. The monitor could only capture a corner of it.
"How is it possible that such a vast ancient city is all made of white jade? All the jade mines in the world combined do not have such a large output."
Cao Xuan's expression became very excited, not just because of so many ancient jades, but because he thought of a legend, a secret that he had seen in his confidential files.
It can be said that he is the only one who knows this secret. None of the experts present or his subordinates know it, and this secret is related to the origin of this jade city.
"This time, all the experts involved here are not allowed to leave, and they are not allowed to talk to the outside world. I want to go out now." After Cao Xuan told his confidants a few words, he left here with a few people.
At this time, the remaining ten or so peak masters of the Thirty-six Cave Paradise were communicating with each other at the mountain gate.
"It's that kind of aura. It seems that the great age is indeed coming."
"Three seniors once said that this world is our opportunity and we must seize it."
"Yes, I will send the people below to investigate now."
Deep in the Thirty-Six Cave Tianfudi Mountain Gate, the three giants were also communicating at the moment.
"It has appeared again, and this time we must seize the opportunity."
"We lost an opportunity back then, and we can't lose it again this time no matter what."
"I have been looking forward to it for so long, and it is finally here. You two must take this step this time."
…
Shangqing Palace!
An old Taoist sat alone on the top of the mountain and suddenly whispered: "It appears again. This time, how many killings will there be and how many people will be born?"
"When the world is in chaos, does it have to be like this? Is the sacrifice too great?"
The old Taoist is a person who has abandoned Taoism, but even a person who has abandoned Taoism showed a rare hesitation and confusion at this moment.
In Guangzhou, Qin Yu was combing the hair on Xiao Jiu's body. Suddenly, the movements of his hands stopped and his eyes looked in a certain direction. At this moment, Xiao Jiu's hair under Qin Yu suddenly stood up, and his eyes stared at Qin Yu.
pointing in the same direction.
