Chapter 307 The Secret Cult of Immortality (4K 2-in-1)
"Chi—" "Chi—"
A group of pale people were spraying paint on the walls wherever they went. This situation was indeed a bit strange.
However, other than the cold, I didn't feel anything unusual, and even the stench seemed to have become lighter.
Fan Ning didn't pay much attention to it. He became more vigilant and continued walking deeper into the crowd.
"Dream? So, why did the upper two floors and the underground cave disappear?"
"To be precise, those parts of the last dream exploration were 'useless'. Their only meaning of existence is to let us know some information, such as the origin classification of the Lord of Witness, such as the 'Gate of the Dome'
Symbolic meaning"
Dreams give people transcendent revelations, and their forms are indefinite.
Could it be that my last experience in other levels was just an external manifestation of these hidden knowledges?
And now this is already known knowledge, maybe the same is true for the Special Patrol Department and his team, so the other layers have disappeared?
But in this case, how to explain the cracks and smoothness of the masonry?
"The Secret of Immortality?" Norma Gunn's words caused Fan Ning to end his meditation.
In a slightly open room, similar to a connecting hall, she frowned and looked at the scene in front of her.
A candlestick hangs from the ceiling in the middle, and below is a gray stone sink that exudes a pungent smell. Next to it are seven or eight rotten and brittle fabric futons, which look like fabric futons that were once used for worship.
The sink also had cracks.
"It does look like the scene where the Eternal Life Esoteric Cult worships the 'Split Chrysalis'." He Meng walked around the water tank for a few steps and spoke in a low voice.
"The Esoteric Cult of Immortality? Isn't this the altar of the Harmony School?" Fan Ning thought about the key words revealed in their conversation, "...last time we all thought that this sink and futon were somewhere enshrining the 'Fountain in the Painting'
In a secret place, why do they call them 'Split Chrysalis'? What kind of Lord of Witness is this?"
Judging from the secret history recorded in "The War of Persuasion", one of the volumes of the Okgang Codex, the Eternal Life Esoteric Cult was an esoteric sect that was wiped out in the "Second War of Persuasion" in the first half of the 8th century of the New Calendar between 728 and 729.
organization, and is solved incidentally.
This seems to be a secret war between the "School" and the "Church" that took place at the end of the Steam Revolution. Although the recorded process is unheard of, judging from the changes in the forces of all parties, it can barely correspond to the historical results: On the side of the School
Victory, but the biggest beneficiary seems to be the Special Patrol Office. The influence of the Holy Sun Church has been weakened, the Lingyin Discipline Society has completely withdrawn from the northern continent, and the "Blood Origin Cult" and the "Eternal Life Secret Cult" have been wiped out.
Later, Fan Ning further learned from the history of Qiyuan Shen's pollution that the "Blood Origin God Cult" was the predecessor of the "Happy Listening Society" and the "Eternal Life Esoteric Cult" was the predecessor of the "Reconciliation School".
However, in addition to the "fountain in the painting", why is there another "split chrysalis"?
The name of the god of the witness is not among the seven source gods. Is it the world source god or the lost source god?
The two investigators went up and raised the watering can, "chichi" a few times, and the colorful and strange "turpentine" in the stone trough turned into gray-white.
He Meng held his cane, poked around the connecting hall, and said at the same time:
"Do you think this underground building contains the research remnants of Okegan, the last president of the Alchemist Association?"
"The possibility is not small. I have always suspected that the founding of the Immortal Secret Cult is related to the pollution of Okegang." Gang nodded, "The peak period of their activities was exactly after the so-called 'disappearance' of Okegang at the end of the seventh century.
It was a transitional period when the Association declined and was expelled from the Bologna School, but the Conciliation School was not formally formed."
"At that time, some alchemists claimed that 'the holy spring is dead' and that the 'split chrysalis' is his new self. They used living people as ritual vessels and expressed their expression by devouring 'the flesh and blood of chrysalises and eggs' in collective rituals.
They believe that this can lead to "amorphous immortality". Of course, it is unknown what these lunatics actually eat... This esoteric group is too rampant, highly seductive, and destructive rapidly and hugely.
It often happens that entire villages and towns are willing to offer ritual utensils, so they are quickly wiped out..."
Hearing this, He Meng laughed softly: "Nowadays, people say that the Harmony School is crazy. In fact, the secret teachings of the Harmony School tend to be 'fundamentalist'. Those who look through the historical archives of the Eternal Life Esoteric Cult will know what the true teachings are."
madman."
"Go ahead." After that, he ordered, "If we can find some research documents or secret history details from the Oakgun era, it would be an unexpected gain."
Fan Ning had long known that the layout here was not complicated. The group then spent a short time walking all the vertical and horizontal paths and erasing the colors of the paint one by one.
Then there is a wall nearly twenty meters long on one side, with seven stone doors in the same eyeball style.
"Chi—" "Chi—"
The messy paint "ghost faces" on it were once again faded by the intrusive pure white mist.
"Sir, there is collapse inside. The collapse of this door is smaller." Several investigators quickly poked their heads behind each stone door to check.
So they also chose the exact same path as Fan Ning and the other three.
Above is a larger circular building with numerous rooms inside and a curved corridor outside.
Windows and paintings appear alternately on the walls, and through the turbid yellowed glass, the soil and rocks outside are vaguely visible.
Fan Ning watched these people walking all the way, spraying all the paints he could see with the "fading agent" containing the essence of "Desolate" Xiangyao, and the entire building became pale. He felt that he was gradually reminded of
something.
But it was impossible to grasp clearly for a while.
In the small rooms connected to each other inside the circular building, He Meng carefully looked at the drawings and murals that reflected celestial bodies, constellations, herbs, minerals or rough human anatomy diagrams. Several investigators squatted down to look at the badly weathered bottles and jars or shapes.
Weird instrument.
Fan Ning watched with cold eyes as the group of people inspected the things they had already seen.
"Sir, there are a lot of things, but I didn't find any readable documents."
A female investigator stood up with tweezers holding several pieces of paper whose edges had been eaten away by black ash or completely eaten away by mildew.
"This is undoubtedly the research site of the Harmony School. After all, the Immortal Esoteric Cult is their predecessor." He Meng gestured harmlessly, "Go on, finish the color processing that needs to be processed, and don't miss any blind spots."
After a while, everyone came to a deeper area, and there seemed to be a spacious space in front of them.
As soon as they stepped through the door, everyone's pupils shrank suddenly, and Fan Ning made a horrified expression in order not to be suspected.
It was the room where the walls were splattered with paint.
Investigators scattered around to take samples and check.
...These two times, how come the paths taken by the two groups of people to fall into dreams were exactly the same? Fan Ning felt that the situation was inexplicably strange.
After going down the well, except for those hidden revelations on other levels, we walked through the gallery, saw the water tank, chose the least collapsed step among the seven stone doors, and then explored the circular building above, and finally came to the paint room.
Is the plot in the dream destined or optional? This question cannot be answered, and even those who know it cannot say. Although the dream control method can "experiment the dream and know the dream", it is only a limited degree of self-knowledge or control of actions.
Fan Ning recalled his previous experiences in underground buildings, the small town of Watznai, and even raising the window of the Qiming Church to view, and felt that many decisions were not like those he could make in the waking world.
But this time when I dreamed, I had the reference memory of last time, and my self-control ability had not been lost. I could force myself to do something different to distinguish, change, and fight against something destined.
No, it doesn't seem possible. I was held hostage by the Special Patrol Office this time.
It's too convoluted, it seems to be doomed, but no matter what, my plan has not flawed so far.
As he was thinking about it, Fan Ning's eyes suddenly lost sight within a few seconds.
The visual sealing elixir began to take effect.
When Qiong configured it, he said that the food would take effect in about an hour. In fact, he felt that more than two or three hours had passed. He didn't know what to expect in this illogical dreaming process, but in short,
The timing is almost the same.
"A typical collective ritual venue of the Immortal Tantric Cult." He Meng frowned and looked at the dark, smooth, sunken boiler hemisphere in the middle and the futons scattered around it.
"Sir, it seems that there were books on the work table, but they have been taken away."
In the darkness, Fan Ning heard Salman's voice, and his spiritual sense also noticed that he was standing in the corner of the room, carrying the pile of weird wires that had bound and entangled the "Okgon Manuscript".
"My face is His face, and His image is my image?" Norma Gunn walked over and silently read the small words on the table in her heart.
"A prayer that is shared by the Immortality Esoteric Cult and the Harmony School, but they interpret it in different ways in specific Esoteric rituals." She thought for a little longer, ". It may have been taken away by the Harmony School that was explored later.
, I just don’t know which era it happened.”
"What happened last year." Fan Ning sneered secretly in his heart.
But he felt the water was getting deeper in his heart.
The stone gate is of the 3rd Sturungarian dynasty style;
The cement stone trough, hemispherical boiler and futon are the altars of the Tantra of Immortality;
The gallery below and the rotunda above are traces of the activities of the Conciliation School;
Finally, the large room with splashes of paint now has both of the latter two.
When he saw the buildings with different styles spliced together, Fan Ning thought it was built by the Harmony School to explore the ruins of the Grand Palace School. Now, looking at it, it is actually nested on four floors?
Explore the ruins of the Grand Palace School in the third history of the Immortal Esoteric Cult;
Later, the reconciliation school explored the above two;
Now my own field is exploring the above three;
This secret history is really intricate and intricate, and ancient beings are always eager to understand even more ancient beings.
"What is that?" Fan Ning, who had lost his sight, suddenly heard another unbelievable shout.
There was the sound of quick footsteps, as if something on the ground had been picked up by an investigator.
"Wasius's pocket watch?" This time it was Salman's voice.
A group of people gathered around him. Fan Ning was suddenly startled and turned his head sharply without any attempt to hide it.
How come this thing appears here? It doesn’t fit at all?
"Were you the one who killed Vasius before?" Gang's cold voice appeared behind him.
"I would never dare to take the blame for this." Fan Ning shook his head and chuckled, "To be honest, he disappeared, and I saw him seeking his own death. I couldn't stop him, and he almost took me with him.
"
"Then can you explain?" Salman stretched out the pocket watch he took, "Why did his belongings fall in your backyard?"
"You've forced me to come down here to accompany you to death. Can you please stop acting so frank and lenient? It's really stupid." Fan Ning said to the local person in charge who was once at the same level as him.
He curled his lips and said, "Moreover, think about it. How could I leave such obvious belongings on the ground after killing him? If this question is too difficult for you, think of a simpler one. I am
Where did you encounter that mysterious incident?"
"I am a composer and a conductor. I took a group of students to Santa Ramburg to perform. I ate snacks and sang songs with everyone in the car. Just as I was about to enter the city, suddenly the train made two clanging sounds, and then a song jumped out.
Vasius said that everything was his own means and wanted me to go on a mission with him. Do you want to explain it to me first?"
"Phew!——" A black light passed by in response.
Fan Ning only had time to get half shorter, but Norma Gunn's dagger had already cut over Fan Ning's head in an instant.
A small piece of pale white hair spread out.
"I'll give you a little lesson this time." Gang said calmly, "Don't say nonsense that you shouldn't say. Tell as much as you know. First, tell the truth about the scene you experienced before Vasius' death."
Fan Ning seemed to have succumbed to the threat, and spoke slowly with a slightly lifeless tone: "...Actually, I'm also wondering why the last architectural pattern is exactly the same as this one. The only difference is that there are paints everywhere here, and last time it was
It was empty and pale, and there were some weird dolls hanging there. I don't know what the occult principles are, but Miss Nehemiah seemed to have played a key role under Vasius's coercion. Finally, he opened a door, and first
He coerced us to go in together and then fought with him. Maybe he thought it was a waste of time and went in alone."
His compromising words after his energy was frustrated made everyone prick up their ears and analyze them carefully.
Empty? That member of the Bologna School who was newly approved last year opened a door?
There is no doubt that it is the "Gate of No Light" that is the same door as the "Gate of Seven Lights".
He Meng compared the information he had and felt that Fan Ning's words should be very credible. He asked: "So, do you remember the approximate direction of the door he opened?"
"The location of the door? The location is a bit weird, and it's not very eye-catching." Fan Ning's vision during the performance was dark, but in order not to arouse suspicion, he still kept his eyes open while frowning and thinking.
In fact, when he just walked into this room, he also found that there was no door on the wall like last time. But now when he thought about it and pointed with his fingers to match the recalled location, his spiritual sense suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something on the sealed wall.
There seems to be some gap——
"That's the direction!" He pointed to the opposite corner of the desk as if he suddenly recalled it.
Everyone looked around, and a short stone door came into view.
