"Haha - aren't you a practitioner? Why are you still asking me this question?"

Although the elder's expression was still smiling, he looked obviously confused.

"I, actually - I don't know how to say it, there is an energy in my body, I call it spiritual power, but"

Xiao Wu lowered her head, knowing for sure that this elder also had spiritual power. She had seen the spiritual light on the elder's hand, and she hid the spiritual power from the beginning.

Although she didn't understand where the elder's spiritual power came from, or as she said, it was obtained through cultivation. But she estimated that the source of the spiritual power must be different from hers.

She gained this power only after her body was developed by that man.

This seems to mean that there are really other ways to obtain spiritual power in this world.

So Xiao Wu said: "But, I am different from you. You are obviously practicing spiritual power, so how do you do it?"

"Huh? Are you saying that your spiritual power is not obtained through practice?"

She shook her head in confusion and stared at Xiao Wu. Obviously she didn't believe that there were people in this world who didn't have spiritual power obtained through cultivation.

"We are actually a group of people who are not worthy of being treated by outsiders. After all, we have existed in the world for a long time. If your power is not obtained through cultivation, then I am sorry about this power. There are some things that cannot be told to outsiders."

The elder actually refused to say anything.

Do ethnic groups that are hidden in the world rely on cultivation to gain spiritual power? Joyner and Xiao Wu both thought of one thing.

"Then I want to ask a question, how many years have you been around?" Xiao Wu suddenly asked after hearing this.

The elder seemed a little hesitant about this question! He opened his mouth and said: "You may not believe it when I tell you that our clan has existed for a long time. It may be longer than the history recorded in human writing. I don't know how many years exactly."

really.

"Then I would like to ask, what is your clan called? Do you have a name?" Xiao Wu asked again.

"No, but as far as I know, there were some tribes that used some names in the past."

"Oh?—what are those names?"

The elder looked at Xiao Wu and became more and more hesitant. Under her questioning step by step, she seemed to feel something.

There is something about this little girl that she doesn't know.

After a moment, the elder shook his head and said: "According to the oral tradition of our previous generation of elders, there were once scattered tribes of our people in this world. Organizations hidden behind the torrent of history. For example, the Mountain Patrol Hermitage, Freemasonry, Ispartine, etc.

Too many!"

Joyner and others were secretly surprised by these names. They had also heard of the names of some organizations, but they were mysterious organizations that had a place in human history.

Several people were shocked. Their previous guesses and the information they learned from the "rocker" seemed to be confirmed one by one.

"It is said that our ancestors originally came from the same ethnic group."

Um?

Xiao Wu was suddenly startled, but remained calm on the surface.

Her mind was running rapidly.

"Then, do you know about Jidu's civilization?" Xiao Wu suddenly asked.

"What did you say?"

When the elder heard this, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Xiao Wu.

Sure enough! Xiao Wu also stared at the elder, as if he expected her reaction.

I haven’t heard anyone say this name for a long time. How did this little girl know it?

That is a title buried in history - a name that has gone through tens of thousands of years of vicissitudes and has been forgotten by the world, even their descendants.

The elder's face turned gloomy. With her girlish appearance, it was difficult for her to remain calm after hearing this name.

Her hand shook slightly and she pointed at Xiao Wu.

"How do you know the word 'Jidu'? Who are you!?"

"Who are you?"

The elder looked at them with a glint in his eyes!

Xiao Wu also looked at Joyner and Long Ping, and said silently: "I only learned about this name recently. I heard it from others, and maybe I don't know more than you do."

The elder's fingers slowly lowered, and she noticed that she had lost her composure.

Then she smiled lightly and shook her head. Yes, how could such a foreign girl know better than she did.

Who told her this? This was a huge question that lingered in the elder's mind.

"Is that so? Can you tell me how you know?" the elder said calmly, and she quickly returned her relaxed expression.

Xiao Wu breathed out knowing that she would ask this question, and also knew that she was also struggling in her heart at the moment.

However, she also had a reason not to say that she was not sure what the elder's intentions were.

"I can't say! I'm sorry"

""

The elder frowned slightly, but his willingness quickly disappeared. His expression was still unfazed - she must know the answer.

"Ah, in that case, let me tell you a little bit about what I know. However, I hope you will tell me where you heard that name. In exchange, please come with me."

The elder stood up slowly. His posture was elegant and his gait was light, just like a young man in his twenties. There was no difference at all.

They also stood up at the same time and followed behind.

After a while, the group of them, led by the elders, came to a secret room in the temple. This was a small room built underground in the temple, and it was not deep.

As soon as he entered this secret room, Xiao Wu felt the existence of spiritual power. The very weak spiritual power was not much stronger than the stone statues outside.

It's very clean inside, and you can tell it's been maintained regularly.

On the front of the secret room, there is a stone slab embedded in the wall that looks very old. It is not large in area. Although many places have been tempered by time and the original picture cannot be seen clearly, it is beautifully carved. It is framed by some kind of hard glass.

Yes, the spiritual power is lingering and emanating from that stone slab.

What is this? There is also a spiritual reaction on the stone slab.

Xiao Wu used his spiritual consciousness to see the faint layer of spiritual power on it.

Um?

Several people were a little surprised, obviously not because they also felt the spiritual reaction, but because they all saw that this secret room was built to store this stone slab.

"Everyone, to be honest, please look at this - this is what our family rescued from a certain ruins."

"Rescued? From the ruins?" Joyner muttered.

"Yes, after the great cataclysm, due to the violent changes in the earth's crust, many ancient ruins were raised. That is where the civilization inheritance of our family lies. Although we have long known about these ancient existences."

"Are you saying that your tribe has known about these ruins for a long time?"

"I don't dare to say everything, but there are a few well-preserved places that we know about, but we won't explore them."

"Why? You have known about them for a long time, but you didn't discover them?" Xiao Wu asked.

"That is a secret that has been passed down by our tribe for thousands of years. Since it is a secret, of course it is not known to the world, but did you know? In the AD, a certain government in Europe sent troops to look for it.

These ancient ruins?”

"Oh! I have an impression of this. I have heard some rumors before. Deep in the Himalayas, it is said that there is a cave hidden deep in the Himalayas that can connect to the earth's axis. That place seems to be called 'Shambala'."

Long Ping said thoughtfully.

That's right - the current Guge Mountains were indeed called the Himalayas hundreds of years ago. He had heard of this history, but at that time, he did some research in preparation for going there to inspect plants.

"It's like this. Most people think it's a legend, but "Shambala" does exist. It's an ancient ruins there. Our heritage has its name. Our ancestors have guarded the place for generations. Well! This is

A stone slab was rescued from there.”

The elder's hand pointed to the stone slab. The purpose of bringing them to see the stone slab was to make them believe her words.

But the pattern above is too blurry.

"You must want to see clearly what's up there, right? Look this way, it will be clearer up there."

It was a piece of paper. They had a rubbing of this slate. It was on the table in the corner next to it. The elder showed them the rubbing of this slate.

The rubbing is not too big, it is rectangular, about 75cm wide and 40cm high.

Moreover, it was broken into several pieces over time and was reassembled by later generations. There are some weird symbols around the picture above, many of which reminded Joyner of the mysterious symbols she saw in her father's palace.
