Chapter 097: Burial Altar(1/2)
At the bottom of the Milky Way, black water bubbles up.
The black water disperses, like ink dripping in clear water, gradually becoming lighter.
Chongning said: "This should be deep sea hydrothermal fluid."
Duan Jingzhi was startled. They had also done training before coming here.
We all have simple popularization of knowledge about the seabed.
She said doubtfully: "The temperature of deep-sea hydrothermal fluid is extremely high, at least three to four hundred degrees. The temperature here is not quite right."
With a high temperature of 400 degrees, this place has already become a hot spring.
Chongning said: "That is a large hydrothermal zone, and the mouth of the spring here is very small."
Indeed, the place where the black water emerged was a small opening.
The black water is gurgling, like the spring of the Golden Thread Spring, as thin as a thread.
Duan Jingzhi was very surprised, leaned down and looked at the bottom of the water.
Ordinary deep-sea hydrothermal fluids are located on the extremely deep seafloor and are inaccessible due to high temperatures.
It is extremely rare to observe at such a close range.
Deep sea hydrothermal fluids are commonly known as black smokestacks, also known as hydrothermal sulfides, and are generally found deep under the sea.
This is an undersea mineral deposit that is attracting increasing international attention.
The elements inside are very complex and precious, containing important minerals such as gold, silver, copper, zinc, and lead.
The complexity is comparable to that of the rare earths that have been on fire recently.
As for its formation, there are different opinions and no conclusion.
What is certain is that hydrothermal fluids on the seafloor originated from deep in the earth's crust, erupted from the ocean floor, and existed hundreds of millions of years ago.
The growth of all things depends on the sun, but it fails under the sea.
At the bottom of the deep sea, there is no source of light, but it is full of life.
It's all about deep sea hydrothermal fluids.
On the earth, there are two kinds of energy that can support life activities.
One is solar energy, and the other comes from inside the earth's crust.
Deep-sea microorganisms obtain energy from chemical reactions in hydrothermal fluids for their own growth.
These microorganisms further support higher-level organisms, such as sea anemones, sea urchins, jellyfish, etc.
The accompanying organisms can further be preyed upon by higher organisms such as fish and crabs, thus forming a vibrant ecosystem.
It is like an oasis in the desert, bringing infinite vitality to the dark seabed.
This is the case with this galaxy.
The small hydrothermal spring releases energy to breed microorganisms, which in turn support luminous plankton, jellyfish and various algae.
Sunlight moss, noctiluca and luminous organisms form a unique lighting system.
The entire cave flower valley has formed a complete ecological community.
Duan Jingzhi looked at the galaxy and couldn't help but admire the wonder of the Creator.
The uncanny workmanship of nature can be called a miracle!
At this time, the weirdo suddenly shouted.
Chongning turned around and saw that he had taken a few wild fruits from nowhere.
Wild fruits are large, like pears.
But it is much whiter and there are no black stars on it.
"Thank you." Duan Jingzhi took it, wiped it and took a bite.
The weirdo seems to be used to eating, and he devours it with his big teeth and open mouth.
Common wild fruits have unknown toxicity.
However, judging from the look of this weirdo, he should be fine.
Chongning wiped it with his sleeve and started eating.
Wild juice is very juicy, sweet and delicious.
After eating, the weirdo seemed to have something else and wanted to take them to see it.
The weirdo squeaked and walked along the river bank.
Chongning and Duan Jingzhi followed closely behind.
Soon, the weirdo came to a circular stone platform.
This stone platform is very similar to the one on the hillside.
However, it is much smaller.
The stone platform is bare, without the slightest decoration.
From a distance, it looks like a relatively smooth boulder.
Duan Jingzhi took a look and found nothing strange.
"Isn't this just a big rock? What's so fun about it?"
The weirdo picked up Duan Jingzhi and continued to run forward.
Chongning was startled and quickly followed him.
He felt uncomfortable watching Duan Jingzhi being dragged all over the ground by a savage.
However, the three of them ran for a few minutes.
Not far away, there was a similar big stone.
Only then did Chongning realize that there was something strange.
Duan Jingzhi asked: "How many such stones are there?"
The weirdo spread his fingers and stretched out eight fingers.
Chongning looked at the distance between the two big rocks, thoughtfully.
Duan Jingwei looked at Chongning, "Brother Ning, what is this?"
Chongning pondered and said: "Looking at the distance, there should be eight of them distributed in a circle around the Valley of Flowers."
"This should be a mysterious burial formation."
Duan Jingzhi frowned slightly and asked: "Burial formation?"
In some large mausoleums, burial arrays will be set up to meet certain special needs.
Some are traps set up to avoid being stolen.
And some set up altars in order to pray for immortality.
The specifications of the altar vary.
There are large Tiangang arrays and small Tuyin temples.
If there are eight people in this place, they should be arranged according to the directions.
That specification is already extremely high.
Eight altar locations are built around the Valley of Flowers.
The altar should be the stone platform in the center of the hillside.
Use all living beings in flowers and valleys as sacrifices to worship the gods.
This altar burial array is extraordinary!
Duan Jingzhi said: "Is it true that the owner of the tomb built it to pray for immortality?"
Generally speaking, immortality is an eternal topic for the tomb owner.
However, it also needs to be viewed in detail.
The ancients regarded death as life.
In such a huge flower valley, there are exotic flowers and plants, rare birds and animals.
It cannot be ruled out that it is so that after death, the soul can wander around the back garden.
The weirdo was jumping up and down on the stone platform, very happy.
Chongning didn't pay attention at first, but he turned around suddenly and seemed to hear something.
Duan Jingzhi asked: "What's wrong?"
Chongning walked to the strange man's side, leaned down and pressed against the stone platform.
