The scene in front of you is a piece of ancient ruins. As you walk forward, the ground is paved with pure white stones. In front of you is a vast expanse. There are long artificially built open channels and various strange stone statues. When you look up, you can see the blue sky.
Looking down at the white clouds, one could see the gurgling water flowing in the canal. Bing Zhixie touched the ground and wall. Although it felt a little old and rough, the stone was the older and more solid type that had been seen before.
Bing Zhixie found that Pegasus had also followed. Although he felt that Pegasus was safer outside, he didn't pay much attention and allowed it to follow.
Kun suddenly shouted and pointed to the sky: "Look, it's the monster that attacked us before."
Sure enough, Bing Zhixie saw the Dragon-Swallowing Flower Knot Vine that he had fought with before. It was flying in the air like a jellyfish swimming in the sea, moving very fast.
"Look, if it flies down, will it find us?" Kun worriedly picked up the short bone spur blade tied to his waist, ready to react at any time.
Bing Zhixie observed the surroundings, but did not care much about the situation in the sky. Kun found that the monster did not fly down, put away the bone spur short blade and said: "It turns out that this mountain is empty, I thought we would enter the cave
inside."
"No." Bing Zhixie said: "Looking from the outside, this mountain peak is real. There is no sunken valley. I have observed it carefully before, and I can't see the situation inside from the outside."
Kun looked confused: "Can't you see it outside? Then here is..."
Bing Zhixie didn't wait for her to speak and flew into the air. Before she could fly high, she was blocked by a huge physical force. It felt like a fish hitting a transparent glass fish tank.
When he fell back to the ground, Kun ran over and asked what happened. Bing Zhixie once again touched the uneven stone floor, shook his head and said, "The ground we are stepping on and the space we are in should be
It is real and not constructed by magic. The light source can shine in, and the situation here cannot be seen from the outside. It is probably related to magic, and maybe it is also related to the Sun Forbidden Stone."
"What do you mean?" Kun didn't understand.
Bing Zhixie explained: "To put it more accurately, we are like fish in a well. Although we can see the environment outside the water, we cannot break away from the barrier between water and air."
This metaphor is quite vivid, and Kun seemed to understand and asked: "So the 'pregnant demon' is here, right?"
"That's right, the so-called 'fetal demon' should be here."
This open area is estimated to be more than ten square kilometers. The ground paved with white stones has a lot of damage and cracks. There are many weeds growing there. The tallest ones grow to two or three people tall, but they are not dense. There are clusters here and there, and sparsely.
A little bit, but there are a lot of rubble and ruins scattered among them.
Bing Zhixie crossed a wide canal more than five meters wide and stood in front of the nearest pile of rubble to investigate for a while. These were construction rubble, and judging from the situation, they had been destroyed manually. There were hundreds of scattered rocks here.
The rubble he designed should be a group of buildings. He murmured: "There should have been people living here a long time ago. Logically speaking, it is impossible for people to live in a space created by magic for a long time. So this is not a magic space.
, but the real space is correct. You can see the sky outside from the inside, but you can't see the inside from the outside. This should be the effect of the magic circle or magic barrier." He was not sure what the situation here was, but he could
It's not important, what's important is the purpose of their trip here. In short, this place is very strange.
In fact, this was the first time he encountered this kind of thing, and his previous speculations were all based on his own magic theory.
…
After walking in the open space for a while without encountering any danger, Kun's fearful vigilance gradually relaxed and he was no longer so panicked. The whole place was quiet, with the sound of water flowing, the rustling of vegetation leaves, and the sound of four feet.
Snakes and mosquitoes were hunting among them, but they didn't encounter any danger for a while. This area was in the shape of a perfect circle. Walking to the north of the center of the open space, there was a larger rectangular area about 400 meters long and 100 meters wide.
There is a slightly raised stone foundation. There are no rocks or bricks on it, and there are no obvious cracks on the ground. It looks very smooth.
Bing Zhixie walked along the edge of the stone foundation and found that at one end of the stone foundation near the center of the circular open space, there was a group of eight arrays of pillars, arranged in a half-circle. These pillars were bright gold in color, with stripes of
It has a metallic luster but is inconspicuous. It feels cold to the touch, and it really feels like stone. There are incised patterns on the cup, which are more like some kind of spell scripture. Could this thing be related to the 'fetal demon'?
The stone pillars are about five people tall. Between every two stone pillars stands a winged statue of a god with different postures and shapes. Their faces are unclear, half-human and half-animal bodies, but none of them have human features. Their materials are
Like the stone pillars, they are about three people tall. Counting the two statues in the gaps around the eight stone pillars, there are nine statues in total. The nine statues and eight pillars are connected together, like a surrounding wall, covering an area of two to three hundred square meters.
Area.
Bing Zhixie said: "All the building materials here have been destroyed. It is very likely that they were destroyed when the people who lived here left. And the people who lived here should be the earliest people. This is different from what we see outside the cave.
The market-like ruins we visited were not settled by the same group of people, but the second group of people who moved here. This can be seen from the materials used in their buildings. Moreover, people outside used black stone tigers as pictures.
To enshrine the vines, we didn’t see anything related to the stone tiger when we came here, except for the mechanism that opened the fire. But the first batch of residents who destroyed the place did not destroy the building..."
While she was talking, Bing Zhixie circled half a circle around the eight pillars and nine statues, and came to the entrance of the ring-shaped building. The situation inside could be clearly seen at a glance, and there was actually a beautiful stone pavilion in the middle.
The stone pavilion is located in the center of the surrounding area, and there are artificial trapezoidal flower beds on the periphery, and water from underground channels is used to water the plants in the flower beds. At this time, the flowers in the flower beds are in full bloom, including cyan, pink, purple, and yellow.
The little flowers have decorated this desolate historic site, making it seem a little more alive.
Something went wrong, and Bing Zhixie and Kun were equally worried about danger, but it seemed they were overly worried. They walked into the ring area, and apart from the fragrance of flowers, they didn't smell any dangerous smell.
The material of the stone pavilion is the same as that of the eight pillars and nine statues, which are all bright gold. However, the stone pavilion is painted with bright blue patterns, which makes it look less dull and cold. The pavilion also consists of eight pillars that are embraced by one person and a narrow side.
The wall is propped up, there is a circular vault, and there are steps at the bottom. The eight-pillar stone pavilion is exactly opposite to the column wall outside. The intervals between the stone pillars in the pavilion are all empty. You can walk up the steps and enter the stone pavilion from any direction.
The situation inside the pavilion can also be seen clearly. But what caught Bing Zhixie's attention was the circle of reliefs on the eaves of the circular stone pavilion, which were nine snake gods with wings. These snake god stone carvings opened their teeth and probed their brains.
It seemed like it was attacking the enemy, but also like it was guarding something.
