As the microorganisms in the clouds awaken from their dormant state, the underground world ushered in the morning in the cloud light. Pieces of white clouds lit up one after another like light panels that were powered on in sequence, with a mysterious glow.
The cloud tops fall down and illuminate the entire grassland. The locals have their own world view to explain the alternation of day and night and the phenomenon of wind and rain in this world. They believe that a huge monster breathes at the end of the world, and the smoke spewed by the monster forms the clouds covering the earth.
A huge firebird called "Kudla" flies out of the monster's nostrils every morning. The firebird lights up the clouds and mist, and then the light shines on the earth.
A team came to a high slope near the ancient city of Dorasil. Vivian and Hao Ren were standing at the highest point observing the distribution of city buildings. There were several small bats hovering over the city. They were using ultrasonic waves to detect those buildings.
Details of the megalithic ruins. Vivian saw some secrets of the city in the vision of the blood crystal, and now she is looking for parts that corroborate the vision through her bat clone.
Geisel and Bonia were also brought here, and now the latter is praying to the clouds with her eyes closed, constantly uttering some difficult sentences that are extremely weird for her age. Hessiana is bored, she
Curiously, he asked Geisel: "What is she doing?"
Geisel explained Bonia's actions: "The saint is thanking the giant flame bird "Kudra" for lighting up the sky and bringing light to the world, and at the same time praying that Kudela will remember to return to the nest on time when dusk falls.
, so that the world will not usher in the legendary "Burial of Light"."
"Light burial?"
"If the giant flame bird forgets to return to its nest, the day will continue forever, and the clouds will continue to light up for more than ten days and nights. By then, the temperature of the entire world will rise. Plants will also be burned by the light. Several such events are recorded in mythology
," Geisel introduced the myths of this world to Hesiana. "If such an incident occurs, the saints, elders and warriors of all tribes will go to the Pillar of Eternity guarded by their tribes and knock on the shell of the pillar.
This will remind Kudela to return to his nest, and the day will be over."
He should be talking about the situation when the fragile ecology of this world is accidentally out of balance. After all, everything here is barely maintained by a cradle shell made by the eldest son. A slight fluctuation in this system may bring unimaginable turmoil to the entire world.
The so-called "beating the shell of the Pillars of Eternity" should have a certain effect, because this is the only way for surface creatures to communicate with the eldest son underground: underneath those pillars of eternity are connected to the rich nerves of the eldest son. These processes have been given mystery
It has mythological significance, so Hesiana could only curl her lips after hearing it: "Uh ha ha... quite an interesting legend, quite interesting."
At this time, Vivian finished communicating with her bat group, and her eyes fell on the largest pyramid on the side of Dora Siler: "There is a lot of space in that building. And it should lead to the underground. There are several surrounding
The pyramids are connected by tunnels. Bonia, do you know the legends about these pyramids?"
Bonia just finished praying to the clouds, and she hurried to Vivian's side: "The Great Pyramid is your throne, and the surrounding pyramids represent the three kingdoms, the three theocracies and the three autonomous dominions in the Sun Dynasty era."
"Have any of you checked the underground of this city?"
Bonia thought for a while and shook her little head vigorously: "No! Because the city is sacred, and the foundation of the city is the foundation of the world. It is in the neck of the giant Toca. If the city is disturbed, Toca will be disturbed.
'When he gets angry, he will throw the whole world off his back and throw it into chaos. Of course, if you want to move, that's no problem... right?"
The little saint still retains the curiosity and recklessness that should be expected at this age. While she seriously took those mythical stories as true, she also recklessly asked the "goddess" to verify these things. Vivian was stunned for a moment before she realized: "
Oh, Toca... in your fairy tales, I seem to have built the whole world on the back of this hunchbacked old man. Gee, my imagination is so rich, I really don’t know how you came up with it."
Bonia blinked: "Isn't it?"
"That's right." Vivian smiled and patted the little saint on the head. Then she pointed to the big pyramid, "Let's go there."
The Great Pyramid located on the side of Dorasil is a magnificent but only decorative building. It occupies one-tenth of the city's area and is made of heavy white stone bricks. The side of the pyramid facing the wilderness is smooth and unobtrusive.
There is an unusually wide staircase on the side facing the city, which leads from the bottom of the pyramid to the flat top of the tower. With this staircase as the dividing line, the towers on both sides of it are covered with huge and mysterious ancient artifacts.
The reliefs depict a large number of plant and animal landscapes and social life scenes that existed during the Sun Dynasty. They are almost a historical scroll carved on stone. Hao Ren and the others did not have time to visit this city last time.
Take a closer look, and you can't help but be amazed when you see the reliefs on the pyramid.
Vivian stood at the bottom of the stairs and pointed to the reliefs distributed along the pyramid: "Look at them from bottom to top. These things record the history of the last period of the Sun Dynasty. The bottom floors are all pictures of animals and plants.
, and further up are scenes of social life, and near the top of the pyramid, you can see people taking refuge in the highlands and wilderness. If it is correct, the abstract painting on the top of the pyramid describes the last stage: the closing of the sky."
Hao Ren stroked the ancient weathered stones and asked casually: "But what we are looking for is underground, right?"
"Yes, but the entrance is here. We have to find a way to open this thing..." Vivian said while casting her sights on several small pyramids around the main tower. "I remember seeing these towers in the blood crystal stone."
It is activated and connected by light...the entrance to the underground is blocked by these huge stone buildings, and certain devices must be activated."
The data terminal buzzed and vibrated next to Hao Ren's shoulder: "Tch, it's so troublesome, a large amount of technical support can handle everything."
Hao Ren smoothly pulled the guy off his shoulders: "Get out, this is a cultural relic, and are you planning to blow up their temple in front of the locals?"
Vivian ignored the unscrupulous conversation between Hao Ren and PDA. She walked back and forth in front of the huge relief prints while recalling the fragmented fragments in her mind. Since these fragments were not her own memories,
Therefore, it was quite difficult to recall, but since the real thing was right in front of her, she was able to successfully match the information with the reliefs in front of her. Finally, she came to one of the reliefs, which was tilted and inlaid on the base of the pyramid.
, the center of the picture depicts a sun shining on the earth. This is what she is looking for.
Vivian's fingers brushed over the rough lines that represented sunlight: "Sunshine is a symbol of the old world. In this world, 'sun' is synonymous with 'ancient secrets', so if you want to open this place, you need to..."
She struck the relief three times and cried out in the language of this world: "Praise the sun!"
Hesiana slapped her forehead: "Why do I feel so weird? The ancestor of the vampire family is actually praising the sun!"
Vivian glared at her: "This is the password!"
"But your password doesn't seem to work." Hao Ren pointed at the motionless relief to remind Vivian.
Yes, nothing happened after Vivian "praised the sun". The relief did not shine, and the pyramid did not swing to open an underground entrance. The scene was quiet as usual. Vivian frowned and knocked again.
Cameo: "Possibly poor contact...praising the sun?"
"Praise the moon?"
"Praise to Mars?"
"Praise to Saturn?"
"Praise for Enceladus? Praise for Arcturus? Praise for Castor?"
The data terminal suddenly let out a scream and flew over to interrupt Vivian's blind experiment. Then it fired a scorching beam of light from the corner of the fuselage and hit the relief. It cut the stone slab with sparks and shouted: "You have to know
, this thing has been here for ten thousand years! Do you think the voice-activated switches in every world are as durable as those made by the Empire?"
The terminal increased the power of the beam as he spoke, and the thick stone slab was cut like butter. No one else could stop it. However, it was obvious that the terminal paid attention to scanning the structure behind it when cutting the stone slab.
It cut the relief in two along a weird path, and after the two stone slabs fell to the ground, the undamaged internal device underneath was revealed.
Some complex runes and fine crystals are inlaid on a metal cast substrate, which looks mysterious and primitive.
The data terminal emits a blue light, scanning the connection between these ancient magic symbols, while emitting some small electric sparks to stimulate the tarnished crystals: "This machine should be able to give it an initial signal... If the part buried underground
If it can be slightly more durable than this thing, the whole system might actually be able to start."
Continuous electric sparks hit those ancient symbols. After seeing this, Duncan whispered to Cassandra: "I saw that the agents who stole cars in the movie lit fires like this. Well, the ones who stole motorcycles
Pretty much the same.”
After hearing this, Hesiana couldn't help but muttered: "But I can't understand why it's such a fire when opening ancient ruins..."
Just as the three of them were muttering to each other, the "car stealing technique" at the data terminal actually worked.
I saw those ancient runes suddenly brightening, and then a low rumbling sound came from inside the pyramid. The sound went from low to high, and finally the entire ground began to shake! (To be continued...)
