Chapter 1127: Forest Relics (1)
After landing, Xu Changqing checked the situation around him in an instant and made the most appropriate decision, hid in the tree hole, avoiding the monsters living in this area, and avoiding an unnecessary melee.
At that time, while discovering the tree hole, Xu Changqing also saw the wall of a building not far away. The building has been completely destroyed. The reason for the destruction should not be the growth of the tree roots. Judging from the traces of the remaining traces, it should be the instantaneous damage caused by some powerful external forces. Because there is only a line of ruins at the bottom of the building, the original appearance of the building cannot be restored through any deduction means. The only thing that is certain is that the building is very huge, at least in line with the architectural style of the giant wall passage.
The building itself did attract Xu Changqing's attention, but what attracted him more was a mural with a ruined wall that was not completely damaged but was covered with moss. I don't know that the kind of colored material used in this mural was still bright even after so many years. The moss covering the surface not only did not cause any loss to the picture, but instead added a protective layer to the mural. After he stripped the moss, the entire mural was displayed in front of him.
The content of this mural is naturally incomplete due to the destruction of the building, but the part Xu Changqing can see now gives him many clues. The biggest clue is that the second human being he controls is actually related to it, and it is probably from the same person or the same clan.
The reason why he was so sure was that the mural painted the huge dragon beasts that originated from the ancient wild dragon bloodline in the mural. Now when he recalled those huge dragon beasts, he couldn't help but associate them with the prehistoric dinosaurs mentioned in secular paleontology. Although the appearance and strength of the two are very different, the essence of the wild dragon bloodline seems to be the same. When he was in the underground base, he saw some dinosaur bones in the base. Although these bones have been petrified, they still contain a very weak wild dragon aura.
In Xu Changqing's mind, the secular world, the three realms of Kunlun, the holy ruins, the Buddha realm, the second realm, the Wa Palace, and the creation world where he is now connected by a line called the innate gods. Some questions that he had not figured out before now have a clue, but the things that the innate gods have been planning since the ancient times were always confused. Although he has seen many things related to the innate gods' plans, and even he himself may be part of the plan, compared to everything he saw, there are probably more secrets hidden in the dark. Based on the clues that can be found now, it will only lead to a wrong answer in the end.
Xu Changqing stretched out his hand to peel off all the moss on the wall, revealing the entire covered mural. It is located in a broken corner. There is a person painted on the wall, but because the broken ancient world is only half of the body. However, Xu Changqing could still infer from some details drawn on this half body that this person is probably related to Houtu's underworld, because there is an ornament hanging on one corner of his clothes, and the ornament has a very obvious unique mark of Houtu's underworld. He has only seen this mark in the abandoned underworld when he met Nuwa.
This small clue once again proved Xu Changqing's guess, allowing him to realize the formation of the second world. The Houtu family's reincarnated Houtu family also intervened, and even the underworld was one of the leading ones.
Xu Changqing's mood is very complicated at this moment, both happy and worried. He is happy because he did not make a mistake in this trip to the maze. He found so many useful clues after he arrived here, which solved many mysteries in his heart. But the more he knew, the more doubts he solved, the more worries he would be. He was a little worried about whether he could bear the final truth. Sometimes it was rare to be confused, which may be a good thing. Unfortunately, his personality, habits and other reasons forced him to continue pursuing until he found the final answer. Other negative emotions will only affect his mood and cannot stop him.
Standing in front of the mural, Xu Changqing looked at it several times, but after finding no missing clues, he quickly walked towards other broken buildings around him.
It is difficult to restore what this broken building looked like at the beginning, but Xu Changqing was able to infer from the complete base platform under his feet and the foundations of the buildings distributed everywhere that this broken building should be a large building such as a temple. Although it is a temple, it also takes into account the responsibilities of a species of creation. Because on the edge of the platform, Xu Changqing discovered several relics like the small pool of fortune. The reason why he was not sure that these relics were small pools of fortune was that the various reliefs and other clues on the remains were very different from the small pool of fortune he remembered.
In addition to a large number of irreparable relics, Xu Changqing also found some exquisite living vessels from some beast nests that live here, such as bronze vases. Although these vessels are not magical instruments, and magical artifacts can give Xu Changqing an important clue to the ability of the owners here, the various life scenes depicted on the vessels are enough to let Xu Changqing understand the situation of the people living here. And more importantly, the owners here were a giants at that time, because every living vessel he found was at least six or seven times larger than ordinary vessels. Except for those giants, few people may be able to use these vessels flexibly.
After walking around the entire building complex, Xu Changqing jumped onto a tall tower tree located in the middle of the platform. After stepping on the branches and flying to a height of more than 50 meters, he stopped at the top of a branch like a feather, overlooking the entire view of the ruins below.
Although there are a large number of trees, branches and leaves covering it, Xu Changqing has a rough grasp of the overall picture of the entire ruin through the Great Light and the building location that he remembers like a brief sight.
The parts above the foundation platform of the ruins were all destroyed by some external forces. There were traces of strong people fighting in many places, and the number of building fragments was very small. Obviously, the power used at that time directly shook the construction materials into powder and blown into the air, floating to other places. This ruins would be destroyed so severely, in addition to the extremely powerful power of the strong people fighting here, it was also because the materials used for the superstructure materials of the ruins and the foundation platform were different.
In the previous inspection, Xu Changqing discovered that the material used for the foundation platform in the ruins was as strong as those two giant walls. If there were other forces to protect it, it would be difficult for even the strength of the Golden Immortal body to completely destroy it. The material used for ground buildings is more of a kind of stone similar to jade. This kind of stone has now become no different from ordinary stone due to time, corrosion and other reasons. However, from the parts of the stone that barely preserved some original appearance, the buildings built with this stone at that time were absolutely gorgeous. Although this kind of stone is stronger than the jade in the secular world, it is obviously a world of difference compared to the stone on the foundation platform. In the face of the same force impact, there are naturally two results.
Because all the buildings on the ground have been destroyed, Xu Changqing could not find too many clues to be investigated in it. He now hopes that there can be one or more secret rooms such as basements under the foundation platform of this ruins.
The idea about the basement is not Xu Changqing's unfounded speculation, because he knew that in the temple of the Holy Ruins, a basement would often be built in addition to the main building. This basement is either a treasure room for collecting temple treasures or a prayer room for the temple priests. Although this ruin is not a building of the Holy Ruins, its architectural style and origin are more or less related to the divine realm of another world, and the habit of building a basement may also be preserved.
After looking down for a while, Xu Changqing didn't find it, he moved out spirally with the tree he is now at. Every time he moved to a suitable tree, he would stop and continue to check the situation of the platform below.
In this way, after seven or eight lessons of trees, Xu Changqing finally discovered that just under the tree where he is now, there was a puddle of ten feet in the middle of a large ruin near the edge of the foundation platform. Judging from the location of the surrounding buildings, this place must be a temple or the center of the temple. According to the architectural guidelines of the temples in another world that he understood, such puddles should not appear here, and the broken traces of the stone slabs around the puddle can also illustrate some problems.
Xu Changqing fell from the tree and fell next to the puddle. The water in the puddle was very clear. You can see the situation at the bottom with a big light divine eye. There is no stairs or other buildings in the puddle. It is just a straight down tunnel, about ten meters deep, and it is connected to a horizontally extending underground passage, which should lead to a certain place.
Without the support of magic power, Xu Changqing's mortal body could only dive deeper by holding his breath and fetal breathing. Although these methods can prolong his stay in the water, they cannot be extended indefinitely. If he cannot find a place to provide breathing before retaining the return journey, then he will be in danger of life.
Xu Changqing stood by the puddle, slightly estimated the time he could stay in the water, and then tried the water in the puddle, deliberately picked up some gravel next to it and threw it into the puddle, creating some violent water waves to see if there were some dangerous monsters in the water.
After waiting for a while, the underwater fluctuations completely subsided and no danger appeared. Xu Changqing felt a little relieved, then he flew into the water, dived quickly, and after reaching the horizontal passage at the bottom, he chose a random direction, and swam forward like a swimming fish.
