Everyone was stunned, what was going on? Did the python sense any danger? I couldn't help but feel my heart tremble, and quickly turned my head to look around. But everything was quiet, there was no movement? What was going on?
thing?
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the towering tree that the python climbed up, and then a bird song. We were all surprised to find that the bird song was the same one we heard before we met the python.
Magical sound.
Before we could react, we saw a strong shaking on the main branch of the big tree. The giant python revealed its huge head, and quickly jumped up from the tree with a bow, and rushed towards us.
.
Everyone couldn't help being shocked and quickly dispersed around. The giant python suddenly fell from the air and landed where we had just stood. We saw that its colorful snake body seemed to have spots of scars, and there was also blood oozing out.
After the giant python fell to the ground, it raised its head and stared at the big tree where it fell just now with its blood-red eyes. It bowed and bowed its body, its mouth wide open, and the snake made a rapid hissing sound.
, then we saw a pair of strange big birds emerging from the tree umbrellas that covered the sky, and then they all chirped together, spread their wings and fell from the tree gracefully.
While the two big birds were flying in the air, Fei Fan couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's a phoenix! It's really a phoenix!"
The two big birds approached the ground, gently retracted their beautiful wings, and landed not far in front of the giant python. At this time, all of us could not suppress the excitement in our hearts and forgot the situation we were in.
Standing there, staring at these two most magical birds in ancient Chinese mythology at close range.
Two big birds, one is smaller, about six feet tall, and the other is slightly larger, about one foot tall. The neck is slender, the back is ridged like a turtle shell, the beak is slender and sharp, golden yellow, and the whole body is
The feathers are dazzling red, fluttering like flames, and there are long colorful feathers mixed in them. The tail is raised high and bifurcated like a fish tail. It is as slender as a peacock, with bright colors, mostly deep purple, and the same
It is filled with seven colors.
Standing there, the two big birds were as tall as cranes. After landing, they slowly walked towards the giant python. They walked with an arrogant gait, heads held high and chests held high. They looked unusually noble, with feathers all over their bodies.
It was trembling like a magical flame, with colorful brilliance bursting out from it, which was extremely magical.
The long, narrow and beautiful eyes of the two phoenixes ignored us onlookers, but stared closely at the giant python in front of them. They opened their slender beaks and made a "clang, clang" sound, and stepped towards the giant python step by step.
, the giant python was rapidly expanding and contracting the snake letter in its mouth, its body was bent like a piano string. Its two blood-red eyes were wide open, as if they were about to drip blood.
Seeing that a battle between the weird colorful giant python and the magical phoenix was about to begin, Fei Fan whispered to all of us at this time: "While the divine bird Phoenix comes to deal with this giant python, we all hurry up."
Leave, this phoenix is a legendary bird, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be harmful to us. We’d better grease our feet and sneak away as soon as possible.”
Although we all wanted to see how this magical phoenix dealt with this giant python, we all knew that what Fei Yifan said made sense, so we reluctantly took a few more glances at the two magical and noble phoenix birds, quietly
He backed away and turned around the big tree, leaving this dangerous situation.
Along the way, everyone talked about the two legendary magical creatures, the green dragon and the phoenix, and marveled at them. Only Fei Yifan was a little disapproving, and was a little depressed along the way. He seemed to be preoccupied and didn't talk much. As long as
As soon as he opened his mouth, he blindly urged us all to hurry up.
I saw this in my eyes and deliberately accelerated my pace to catch up with him who was walking at the front. Then I pulled out my God-killing Miao Dao and walked side by side with him in front, raking the weeds ahead to clear the way. I asked him in a low voice:
"Senior Fei, it seems that you have something on your mind since you saw the phoenix. Can you tell me something?"
Fei Fan's face was a little gloomy, and he kept waving the engineer shovel he got from the water instructor silently, testing the grass in front of his feet.
I felt bored, so I stopped asking and just walked forward side by side with him.
Suddenly, Fei Fan said to me in a low voice: "Yunlong, you said that dragons and phoenixes really appeared on the earth in ancient times?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I think it must have happened? Otherwise, how could there be very detailed descriptions in ancient books?"
Fei Fan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you think the dragons and phoenixes we see now are the mythical beasts and birds recorded in ancient books?"
I looked at him with some confusion and said, "It should be true. The dragons and phoenixes we saw are exactly the same as those recorded in ancient books."
Fei Fan nodded and said: "I know this. What I mean is, is the location we are currently in the center of the earth or in another time and space? Could it be said that these dragons and phoenixes are creatures from another time and space?"
I looked at Fei Yifan strangely and thought to myself, had Fei Yifan not long ago accepted the fact that different time and space existed? Why did such a problem suddenly arise?
So I said inexplicably: "Senior Fei, I still don't understand what you mean."
Fei Fan said: "Dragon and phoenix, as gods from ancient times, have never been truly believed by modern humans. They are mostly believed to be a combination of various animals and birds in ancient times. However, today we have seen real dragons and phoenixes.
I don’t know why, but I feel like there is something wrong with this. Who is the owner or founder of the Nine Heavens City? Is this place the earth or another time and space? And are the dragons and phoenixes we see real creatures, or are they the Nine Heavens City?
Made by the owner of the city?"
I looked at Fei Yifan in surprise. It was almost unbelievable, especially his last sentence. I was speechless and said: "Senior Fei, you...you mean that this dragon, phoenix and stone were artificially created?"
Fei Fan smiled bitterly and said: "I'm just guessing. Think about it, from the time when records in ancient books were circulated by the Yellow Emperor to today, there are different opinions about dragons and phoenixes. In fact, there is no truly unified overall picture of dragons and phoenixes. For example, phoenixes are all said to have chicken heads and green crests.
It has a snake-necked crane body, a turtle's back and a bird's tail. The male calls "Jiji", the female calls "Jiji", and the harmonious song "Qiangqiang". Why does this legend exist? Modern people think that the ancients combined the images of many birds and beasts.
It looks like a phoenix, but the phoenix we see today is indeed the one described above. How to explain this? There are two possibilities. First, this phoenix did appear in ancient times, whether it came from another time and space or originally existed on the earth.
This kind of bird. Secondly, the dragons and phoenixes we see today are all created by humans based on the descriptions in ancient books on earth. For example, the person who created this is Li Qitong. He is a human being from another time and space. He created the Nine Heavens City.
, and this dragon and phoenix were also made by him."
As I listened to Fei Yifan's words, I felt unbelievable. After my last experience in the dragon's cave on the seventh level, especially the old man's description, I always thought that this dragon and phoenix must be a real creature that exists in different time and space.
, but Fei Yifan’s words obviously make sense. After all, we did not find the existence of these two creatures, dragon and phoenix, in the Dragon Cave on the seventh level.
Fei Fan smiled, looked at my confused expression, and said with some self-deprecation: "Don't think that my views are correct or wrong. Have you seen the appearance of my body now? In fact, I was once better than you.
He is taller and more handsome, but one person has changed everything about my body. So, I am not surprised at all that someone can create any biological body based on the description."
As he said that, he continued to move forward with his military shovel and stirred up the weeds. I stared at his back blankly, and for a moment I suddenly felt that there must have been something more bizarre than what I did in the Seventh Layer Earth Dragon Cave.
experience.
At this time, Jiao Yiming patted me on the shoulder from behind and said, "Yunlong, what are you thinking about? Why did you stop suddenly? Did you feel something was wrong again?"
I quickly came to my senses, shook my head, smiled and said to him: "No, I didn't think about anything, and I didn't feel anything was wrong. I just twisted my foot a little, it's okay."
As I said that, I hurried forward to catch up with Fei Fan and continued to walk in front with him. Fei Fan turned his face and saw me following him, and remained silent without saying anything else.
I asked him unwillingly: "Senior Fei, can you tell me about your experience? If according to your judgment, this dragon and phoenix are man-made, do you think this has any impact on our mission?"
What's wrong?"
Fei Fan didn't look at me, but looked at the grass in front of him. His eyes were a little blurred and he asked me in a low voice: "Have you ever heard of the Jiuliandun Warring States Tomb in Xiangfan, Hubei?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied: "I've heard of it. It's the tomb of a general from Chu State during the Warring States Period." (Editor's note: The Jiuliandun Warring States Tomb was excavated by Chinese archaeologists in 2002. It is in Hubei Province.
There is an ancient traffic corridor between Dahong Mountain and Tongbai Mountain in the north, known as the "Suizao Corridor". Between this corridor and Zaoyang City in the north, there is a low, north-south hill, 3,000 meters long.
There are 9 giant "steamed bun-shaped" mounds on the ground, which the local people call "Nine Liandun". There has always been a magical story circulated among the local people: According to legend, there was an extremely brave general in the Chu State.
, was invincible and had many meritorious deeds, but he was mistakenly killed by the King of Chu because of a mysterious military coup. After the truth was revealed, the King of Chu regretted it. In order to make up for his mistake, the King of Chu gave the general a gold head and ordered people to dig and build 9
The golden head was buried in one of the nine tombs to confuse future generations and avoid being stolen. The legend of the Jiuliandun tombs has been a proposition of interest to domestic archaeological experts for many years, because from an archaeological point of view, in the natural mound
There are artificial mounds on the ground, which may be the seals of ancient tombs. The seals of Jiuliandun are large in scale and large in quantity, and are very likely to be the tombs of more important ancient high-ranking nobles. But all this is just based on the ancient tombs.
According to circulating legends, it is still difficult to determine the identity of these strangely shaped hillsides because blind excavation cannot be carried out. It was not until 2002 that the construction of a highway connecting Xiaogan and Xiangfan began, in order to provide accurate cultural relics.
To protect the information, the municipal archaeological team reported to the provincial and national superior authorities for approval, blocked a group of domestic professional archaeological knowledge, and conducted an on-site investigation of a mound commonly known as "Yingzibao" on the hillside, and obtained detailed ancient tombs.
Information, and finally a rescue excavation was carried out. The archaeological results were of course shocking both at home and abroad. Countless ancient Warring States cultural relics were discovered. However, the identity of the tomb owner is still an unsolved mystery to this day, leaving the world with countless reveries and confusions.
) Fei Fan nodded numbly and said: "Sooner or later, this tomb group will be excavated by the country, and it will shock the world."
I looked at him in astonishment, and suddenly my heart moved and I said, "Senior Fei, have you ever gone in?"
I saw that the expression on Fei Fan's face suddenly seemed to have a slight twitch, and then returned to normal in an instant. Then he barely showed a smile at the corner of his mouth and said something strange to me: "In that place, I met a
People." He then raised his head and looked at me and said: "Nine Liandun, the City of Nine Heavens, all have the character nine..." I felt that his eyes seemed to have an indescribable meaning of fear, and he added another word.
He said something to me with a slightly changed tone: "I feel like he has also come to the Nine Heavens City."
I felt a chill in my body for no reason and shivered. Before I could react, I spent a lot of time and returned to normal. I pointed in front and said loudly: "Look, everyone, you can already see the gate of the Crystal City."
Everyone stopped and looked forward. Sure enough, the dense forest has basically reached its end. We are now at the edge between the dense forest and the city. The trees have begun to sparse, and the entire purple crystal city has basically been reflected.
In our eyes.
I came back to my senses and looked at Fei Yiban in front of me. The last few words he said still made me feel a little bit chilly in my body.
Seeing the Crystal City in sight, everyone couldn't help but become more motivated. As the vegetation gradually became sparse, our traveling speed also accelerated a lot. In less than ten minutes, we finally stood in front of this huge city made of magical purple crystal.
Down.
The entire Crystal City is astounding to those of us. The city is like an incomparable giant crystal, crystal clear and emitting dazzling purple light. Everyone who stands in front of it cannot help but feel the desire to worship.
The huge city gate was half open and half closed, revealing a passage where the two people walked side by side. The underground passage inside the city gate was covered with shining colorful transparent crystal tiles.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed under the city. They really didn’t know how to guess the authenticity of this city, but this city really stood in front of us and was truly placed in front of us. After a long time, we spent a lot of words and let us know again.
Returning to reality, Fei Fan said: "Comrades, let's go in. There may be more magical things inside that we can marvel at."
Everyone nodded in agreement. So, a group of us walked towards the half-opened city gate.
