The ruins of Helier were still inhabited more than 60 years ago, so some ancient buildings here are still relatively intact.
However, after the arrival of the turbid tide, the reasons for the destruction of various civilizations were different. According to the Helier survivors, it was because Helier disrespected the gods, so the gods sent down divine punishments, and gods and ghosts from another world destroyed the entire city.
.
Regarding this statement, Zhang Yu did not easily doubt it, because it was really possible for gods to impose divine punishment, and some powerful gods did have such abilities.
And Helier is indeed one of the few countries that does not believe in alien gods.
Yes, Helier does not believe in gods. They only believe in their own power and believe that they can do everything the gods can do.
At first glance, this seems similar to Tianxia's concept, but it is actually not the same thing.
The Helian people do not believe in gods, and all their beliefs are placed on two things, namely the "Wish Box" and the "Jar of Eternal Life".
The Helians are the latecomers to this ruins. They were lucky enough to inherit the knowledge and most of the heritage from the previous era, including these two unfinished things.
They understood from the knowledge left in the ruins that no one could escape the end of the era. So they tried to continue completing these two things to avoid the doomed destruction.
But judging from the results, they failed to do this.
At this moment, Zhang Yu paused in his steps. In front of him was a large pool with a radius of about 10 miles. Surrounding it were statues that were standing there, leaning this way and that, and there were broken bones everywhere.
The "Iron Soldiers" who came just now all disappeared after approaching the big pool.
Zhang Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and flickering blurry figures appeared in his field of vision. They flew quickly over the pool.
They are obviously invisible things, but everything they pass by will be affected. Even huge statues will collapse when they pass through them, and all mortals who are passed through by their bodies are as if they are being hit by an incomparable giant.
Hit by such force, a pile of minced meat was scattered on the spot.
"this thing……"
He pondered for a moment, then took the sword in his hand and stepped forward.
At the opposite end, Ying Lao and others were following the team led by Captain Li.
There were indeed some troubles along the way. There were abundant green plants and sufficient light inside and outside the ruins, so this place became a gathering place for some spiritual beings in the wasteland. However, under the cleanup led by Captain Li and his soldiers, it soon became clear that
The road was opened and all the way deep into the ruins.
What was now in front of them was a stone avenue that could accommodate ten people walking side by side. Here stood brass-colored metal plates that were about a foot high. They were arranged at a slightly slanted angle and were neatly arranged on both sides of the road like pages of a book.
With.
Captain Li cautiously stopped here.
Old Ying asked the young woman: "Shuhua, what is this?"
Shuhua took a look and found a skeleton standing in front of a metal plate, and her hands were still pressing on it to support it from falling.
She was very bold. She walked forward directly, gave a slight blessing to the skeleton, and then stretched out her hand to press on the metal wall. In an instant, her palm seemed to be pressed into the water waves, and there was a wave of waves in it.
There were ripples in the circle, and symbols emerged one after another inside.
She turned back and said: "Mr. Ying, this should be Helier's Poetry Wall that Mr. Lu said. It is a place used to pass on knowledge, hymns, orders, and leave messages and notices."
Mr. Ying said: "Shuhua, you are Mr. Lu's student, you should be able to understand these things, right?"
Shuhua glanced at the symbols and said, "Ying Lao, let me try."
She reached out her hand again and gently touched the metal plate. Every time she touched it with her palm, many words composed of fine crystal chips would appear underneath.
This look lasted for more than half a summer, and she remained silent for a long time.
The young man looked a little worried, walked up and asked with concern: "Shuhua, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
Shuhua's body was shaken, and when she came to her senses, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm fine, but some things are too surprising."
Yinglao said in a deep voice: "Is it related to what we are looking for?"
Shuhua nodded, she thought for a while, glanced at the skeleton, and said in simple language: "This is a note left by a Helian noble before his death, saying that the two divine objects were being completed.
After that, all the Helians gathered in front of the Gate of Hellai, preparing to enter the Kingdom of God. However, after opening the gate, there was not good inside, but countless evils..."
The Helian people's plan is to use the "jar of eternal life" to extend life, and then use the wishing box to imitate the gap in the world to create a "country of Helian", and finally all the people can enter there to avoid the turbid tide.
To use the Helian saying, there are all kinds of beautiful things imaginable in the world.
This great vision was almost realized.
But I don’t know why, something went wrong here. When the gate of the Kingdom of Heli was opened, what existed inside was not the beauty that the Heli people expected, but countless gods and ghosts rushed out, and they destroyed this place.
After hearing her explanation, Captain Li suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I want to ask this lady, since it was these ghosts that destroyed this place, then I want to ask, have those ghosts left now?"
Shuhua shook her head and said, "I don't know." She hesitated, "There is also a section written in variant characters, but I can't quite understand it yet."
At this time, Mr. Ying said in a deep voice: "Shuhua, is there any record of the whereabouts of the two things above?"
Shuhua said: "Yes, the wishing box is at the end of the road, and the jar of eternal life is also there." She gestured with her hand and said: "It's just that the range may be a bit large."
Captain Li said confidently: "Just know roughly where it is. My people will find this thing even if they dig three feet into the ground."
The soldiers also nodded. They all had observers to cooperate with them. As long as they determined the scope, they could find the thing even if it was really hidden underground.
But when they set off again and reached the end of the road, they were all stunned and said: "Is this the jar of eternal life?
Shuhua looked ahead and affirmed: "This is the jar of eternal life."
One soldier's mouth opened wide under his visor, "But, but, which one is it?"
In front of them, there were densely packed pottery pots half as tall as a man, extending from the square in front of them to the hillside opposite. There were at least tens of thousands of them.
A soldier suddenly said: "There is someone in this clay pot."
The soldiers were startled, and the eyes on their visors flickered a few times. They looked inside the jar of eternal life and found that there were indeed people hiding inside. Each one of them was curled up, as if sleeping inside, but they
There were no signs of life on his body.
Shuhua said: "These should be all the Helians waiting to enter the Gate of Heli."
Captain Li curled his lips and said, "Is this the so-called 'eternal life'?"
Mr. Ying said solemnly: "Eternal life does not necessarily mean physical immortality. It also depends on their understanding of eternal life."
Shuhua pointed towards the distance at this time: "Mr. Ying, that is the 'Gate of Helai'. According to the description on the poem wall, it is the door leading to all good things. The thing in front of the door should be the 'Gate of Wishes'."
It’s in the box.”
Everyone turned to look over and saw that there was an upward gentle slope, with a huge and gorgeous stone gate built on it. There was something standing in front of the stone gate. It was different from the box in the impression. It was an inverted trapezoid that was about ten feet tall.
The metal body may be more appropriately called a cabinet.
Elder Ying stared for a moment, then turned his head and ordered the dozen or so creators following him: "Move all these things back, be careful."
The servant asked for instructions: "Sir, where is the jar of eternal life?"
There are too many things and they can't move them away.
Mr. Ying didn't pay much attention to the Jar of Eternal Life. To be honest, he was a little disappointed after seeing the real thing. It was a little different from what he originally thought. He said: "Just move a few back."
The servants bowed and accepted the order, then divided into two teams and ran out. However, when the servants who went to move the pots of eternal life came into contact with these pottery pots, there was a strange sound in the air.
The young man looked around nervously and said, "What is this sound?"
Captain Li was staring in the direction of the Jar of Eternal Life. At this moment, he saw something like light mist flying out of one of the clay jars that had just been lifted slightly. With just a rush, the two Creation Servants immediately transformed.
It was smashed to pieces.
This is a gray-blue humanoid object. The outline of its face can be vaguely seen, but its eyes and mouth are empty. The upper body has slender hands, and the lower body is just a trailing light.
It looked at everyone with empty eyes. Not only that, but in the shocked eyes of everyone, similar things began to appear on the hundreds of thousands of jars of eternal life.
Captain Li cursed and said: "It's troublesome." He shouted: "Set up the formation!"
After hearing the order, the twenty-five soldiers formed three concentric formations. Spiritual light emerged from each person's body, and they protected Ying Lao and others.
As if this was a signal, these things roared silently, and then gathered into a gray-blue ocean, rushing towards them from the hillside!
Seeing this scene, all the soldiers were extremely nervous, and Ying Lao and others also turned pale.
Team Li shouted loudly: "Don't panic, hold on!"
He cursed secretly in his mind, feeling that he might be finished this time. One of these things seemed to be able to deal with them, but there were so many of them that just the consumption would kill them all.
The gray-blue wave was getting closer and closer, but just when it was about to hit them, a ray of light suddenly fell from the sky and covered them all.
There was a loud bang, like a tide hitting the dam, causing high waves, and those gray-blue things were scattered one by one.
Everyone looked up and saw a huge thing above their heads, with a pair of wings spread out like a long river of starlight. The light falling down was endless as far as the eye could see, covering the entire front.
Captain Li couldn't help but widen his eyes. He seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly turned his head and saw at the other end of the avenue, a young Taoist man shrouded in jade light and mist, walking towards them step by step.
