Chapter 75 The Lost Ancient City
The Shanhai Jing is recorded in the country of feathers and the immortal people.
There is also a saying in the Book of Chu that people are still in Danqiu, leaving their immortal old hometown.
This is what we are talking about, feathers with feathers that can fly.
In Taoist legends, feathers are immortals, who can fly in the clouds and fog and dragons. Therefore, the ultimate goal of ancient Taoist priests, also known as feathers, is to become immortals.
All kinds of legends emerged in Wang Feng's mind, making him think a lot.
What does the huge feathered statue mean?
besides……
Wang Feng's eyes changed and he fell on the mountain bag full of green vines. In the past two or three days, he not only cleared the rattan on the statue, but also discovered an amazing secret.
Under dense vine plants, the mountain that looks like a yurt is actually not a mountain, but a city.
A city made of stones...
The water flows, like an arch, the entrance to a cave is really an arch.
The gate of the city.
A stone city with huge rocks is an image, located in the depths of the rarely visited mountains.
This discovery also shocked Wang Feng and was incredible. In particular, the huge stone statues, the legendary feather man, were full of magnificent and magical colors.
Who is the building of the Stone City, and who carved the stone statues? Where did you quarreate in the wilderness and how much manpower, material resources and financial resources have been spent to build this magnificent wonder?
The most important thing is, why was Shicheng abandoned?
What about the people in the city? Where did they go and what are their origins?
Why do they want to carve the feathered man stone statue?
Countless questions poured into Wang Feng's heart, making it difficult for him to answer. Perhaps, all the answers are all in this lost ancient city. There must be many secrets buried in the city...
For a moment, Wang Feng's eyes shone and he made a decision.
He came to find an answer, and now he has discovered the mysterious ancient city again.
The deep curiosity made him no longer hesitate and climbed up the statue again.
The huge statue stands next to the city gate...or, the city gate is carved into a door under the legs of the statue.
It can also be imagined that during the prosperous period of the ancient city, when outsiders came here and before entering the city, they first saw the huge stone statue of the feathered man, which must have been greatly shocked and then bowed their heads to worship.
Next to the stone statue is the city wall.
These city walls are less than half the height of the stone statues, but Wang Feng can also determine the height of the city wall by measuring them with instruments, which is also twelve or three meters high and two or three meters thick.
Wang Feng broke through layers of mountain vines and saw a corner of the city wall.
I saw that the tall and wide city walls were filled with neatly tidied huge stones, stacked in an interlaced manner. The stones were rectangular, and the length of each stone was almost about one meter. The width and height were equal, and there was basically no deviation.
This discovery also made Wang Feng take a breath and even more shocked.
He estimated that the entire city had an area of at least seven or eight square kilometers. From a modern perspective, such an area was at most a township level.
The problem is that the ancient city has a very long history. With ancient productivity, especially in deserted places, it is basically impossible to complete the construction of such a city.
But the ancient city was successfully built, even if he only saw it, the tip of the iceberg of the city.
But Wang Feng could completely infer that such a "miracle" could not be accomplished overnight. Maybe it would be the efforts of dozens of generations to succeed.
For example, the Leshan Giant Buddha was dug for ninety years.
So, will such an ancient city in deep mountains be built for hundreds of years?
No matter how bad it is, it will take one or two hundred years to build a city. Because in his impression, such a method of building a city with piles of stones seems to be only economically developed cities and famous cities?
After all, when mining quarries, they have to be chiseled in square strips, and the process is too trivial and complicated.
In ordinary small towns, I definitely can't afford it...
Wang Feng was thinking about it and walked slowly on the "Bird's Nest". The entire city was covered with rattan. He wanted to go into the city to find out, and he must have a hole in a certain direction to facilitate entry.
As for the city gate below... it has now become a drainage channel, and the environment is dirty. Instead of walking through the city gate, it is better to open a "skylight" on the city, which is faster.
Wang Feng climbed slowly and also noticed that the "mountain bag" had ups and downs. This shows that the buildings in the city must have high and low heights. The highest one is undoubtedly a stone statue, followed by...
His eyes flowed and he quickly locked in the target.
At the end of the city, there is also a raised building at the point where it is diagonally opposite the stone statue.
That building is several meters taller than the city wall. It is seventeen or eighteen meters tall, and nearly twenty meters tall, and is mostly the administrative center of the city, the lord's mansion, etc.
Wang Feng went over easily, selected the position, and then picked up the machete and slashed.
The green vines and withered vines were wrapped layer by layer, and it took him half an hour to "drill" a hole. The bright sunshine shone in from the hole. A stale aura surged out from the bottom.
Wang Feng covered his mouth and nose and looked at it, and saw that the environment was similar to that of the street below.
On the road, thick dead branches and leaves were paved, rotting into mud.
After looking at it for a moment, Wang Feng was surprised. At the end of his street, he saw a row of pillars. The pillars were also wrapped in green vines, but they supported the tall buildings.
Unexpectedly, it must be the door post.
When he saw the door post, he naturally saw the more grand gate. The door was open, and due to insufficient light, he could only see the dark environment and the bottomless dark void.
The tall building is suspected to be that the city lord's mansion is open, as if it is welcoming his exploration.
Wang Feng pondered for a moment, and after some preparation, he hung the rope down. A few minutes later, he quietly arrived at the road surface of the city, and when he stepped on his feet, he saw rotten mud and dead leaves.
The stinky breath made him regret not wearing a gas mask...
He wore a headlight and looked around.
There are too many vines, blocking the view, and you can only vaguely see some buildings arranged neatly in all directions.
Of course, compared to those buildings, Wang Feng was more interested in the City Lord's Mansion. He adjusted his direction, pinched his nose with his left hand and held the Meteorite Sword with his right hand, and walked towards the pilaster without stepping.
When he approached the door, he had to sigh at the height of the pilaster.
It is more than ten meters high, about a long one... I don't know how many of them are.
Anyway, he must be very generous.
The door was open, and Wang Feng shone the lights and found that there was an empty lobby inside. The dark environment was unknown, but it made him feel scared.
Wang Feng stopped for a moment before laughing at himself and laughing bitterly.
It is really a human instinct to be afraid of the dark, and he still can't overcome this nature.
He shook his head, resolutely walked in.
