Volume Two, The Lake of Winter, Chapter 72, Someone Came Here Back then
Volume 2: The Lake of Winter, Chapter 72: Someone was here before
After a long time, Ning Que gradually woke up from the shock, but his emotions were still complicated.
It is also an unknown place in the legend. The mountain behind the academy only gives people a sense of closeness and kindness, but it is not as easy to have a mental impact as here. He thought to himself that this was probably what Mo Shanshan said that day.
That kind of difference, the back mountain of the academy can connect the saints and the secular world, while the demon sect's mountain gate is indifferent to the secular world.
Buried by the wind and snow in Tianqi Mountain for decades, the Demon Sect's mountain gate has long been abandoned. Looking up, one can only feel the desolation. The more empty and majestic it is, the more desolate it feels. Ning Que thought about the countless believers who had been there many years ago when the Demon Sect was still strong.
The scene of kneeling down on the huge stone beam to worship cannot help but give rise to countless feelings of sadness.
To be able to carve out such a huge space in the middle of the snow peak, the organizational capabilities possessed by the deserted people a thousand years ago are really unimaginable. Ning Que thought that it was the Tang Dynasty that drove these deserted people out of the wilderness and drove them to the extreme north.
Territory, while feeling sad, I can't help but feel a strong sense of pride.
Then, through the majestic and almost heaven-defying architectural space in front of him, he thought of some more things. The Demon Sect is not allowed to exist in the world, precisely because the Demon Sect practitioners forced the heaven and earth into their bodies and desecrated Haotian.
The Great Priest of Light from the Demon Sect asked Huangren to carve out such an almost miraculous space in the Tianqi Mountains. Perhaps he wanted to use this place to prove that humans can have the same abilities as Haotian?
In a world where Haotian's glory shines, wanting to express disrespect to Haotian in this silent way is really arrogant to the extreme. No wonder Mingzong is called a devil.
After standing on the edge of the rock wall and watching silently for a long time, Ning Que helped Mo Shanshan onto the stone beam.
Thick stone beams connect the inner space of the snow peak, and finally meet in the sky in the distance. The stone beams are extremely wide and can accommodate four carriages traveling side by side. Looking at the impact marks and gravel, it can be confirmed that they fell from the top of the cave over a thousand years.
No amount of stones could crush these stone beams, and two people walking on them would not be able to cause the stone beams to vibrate at all.
But after all, the stone beam was hanging very high in the air, with no cover at all. The mountain wind roared through it, and the echo slowly reverberated, giving people an extremely terrifying feeling. Ning Que looked at the empty world outside the stone beam and listened.
Hearing the sound of wind in his ears, I felt that my legs were a little stiff, and I thought that if I was blown off the stone beam by the mountain wind, I might have to fly in the air for a long time before falling into the deep underground.
The stone beam leading to the center of the huge space was very long. The two of them walked for a long time and only completed less than one-third of the distance. The palace on the suspended stone flat in the distance was still as small as a miniature landscape, but
The sense of insignificance and fear in the grand space gradually faded away as I walked.
Ning Que and Mo Shan's speed at the foot of the mountain was much faster than at the beginning. He was even able to concentrate on taking a look at the scenery around Shiliang. Although the surroundings of Shiliang were all dark and empty, and there was no scenery at all.
Then he noticed that deep lines suddenly appeared under his feet. Those lines penetrated deeply into the hard stone beams and seemed to extend in all directions irregularly. There were tiny gravels rolling in the lines with the mountain wind.
Ning Que looked carefully through the skylight falling from above, and found that the lines on these stone beams were combined together to form a painting with very simple lines. The brushes were clumsy and powerful, and they should be made of metal weapons inside knives and axes.
It is carved and looks like some kind of extremely ancient rock painting.
The petroglyphs on the stone beams gradually appeared in front of them as they moved.
These rock paintings are very large and there are many of them.
The first rock painting depicts a monstrous flood.
A faceless man, wearing grass skirt-like clothing around his waist and holding a pickaxe in his hand, stood on the cliff beside the flood, roaring angrily at the rainy sky.
The second rock painting depicts wildfires all over the mountain.
Several women with vague faces, wearing short skirts made of coarse fabrics, holding a basin of water in their hands, stood in the bamboo forest beside the wildfire, crying painfully in front of the burning wheat fields.
The third rock painting depicts heavy snow covering the sky.
Dozens of farmers with vague faces, wrapped in thick animal skins, holding various tools in their hands, ignored the falling snowflakes above their heads, silently and intently repairing their houses.
The fourth rock painting depicts the shaking earth.
Thousands of faceless black spots stood in the scarred fields, seeming to be burying the dead and saving the living. They did not roar or cry, and continued their lives.
Each rock painting depicts the anger of Haotian descending into the human world, and depicts the pain and struggle of human beings. No matter how blurry the faces of the people in the rock paintings are, their identity as human beings is clearly revealed.
The rock paintings on the stone beams are still spreading forward. As humans master the tools, strengthen their will, and understand nature, they become more and more calm in the face of various disasters. Perhaps their hearts are still
Sad and angry, but no matter what, they survived and are still alive today.
As Ning Que and Mo Shanshan walked, they looked at the rock paintings at their feet. The expressions on their faces gradually became serious. Although they could not fully understand or be sure of the true intention of the people in the Demon Sect when they carved these rock paintings on the stone beams, they were still
As a member of the human race, there will always be some vague feelings.
At the front of the stone beam, the last rock painting is very simple, with fewer lines than all the previous rock paintings. At the bottom are three rows of straight lines mixed with countless small caves, which probably represent the human beings who have multiplied and occupied the world. Those small caves
It seems like the hands raised high when humans cheer and celebrate.
Above the three rows of straight lines, deep stone lines form a circle and a semicircle.
Mo Shanshan frowned slightly, looking at the simple and incomprehensible pattern at her feet, thinking about what kind of information it contained. However, no matter how she thought about it, she had no clue.
Ning Que stared at the last rock painting, and the hand holding Mo Shanshan trembled slightly. He felt that his body was a little cold. He vaguely guessed something, but felt that his guess was too absurd.
It's a pity that he is in the deserted Demon Sect Mountain Gate at this time, and there is no time for him to think carefully about these Fauvist Symbolism Dali and other issues. Even if he wants to think about it, he will leave the stone beam and step onto the high hanging mountain.
The scene he saw behind the stone flat in the center of the Xuefeng space did not allow him to think about it anymore.
…
…
Countless stone beams gathered here, naturally forming a stone flat. The stone flat was suspended in the air countless feet high. The mountain wind roared from outside the flat, causing dust to fly up and fall on the temple.
There were countless white bones piled up outside the hall, and the floating ashes fell from the gaps between the white bones, and then stopped flying up. Over the decades, this process was repeated countless times, and as a result, about the palm of one's hand accumulated under the stark white bones.
The thick layer of ash makes it seem like these bones are lying in the river mud.
Walking down the stone beam, the first thing Ning Que saw was the eaves of the Demon Sect's palace. The second thing he saw was the white bones outside the Demon Sect's palace, which had been buried in the dust for years. Then he could no longer take his eyes away.
.
When the Demon Sect was destroyed, I don't know what kind of brutal battles it went through. There were so many dead in the periphery alone. As time went by, these corpses had turned into white bones, with only the sharp cuts on them and the ones scattered around.
The scattered bones can also prove some of the cruelty of the past.
Ning Que helped Mo Shanshan pass through the pile of bones and came to the stone steps near the main hall. He found several complete corpses. The heavy armor protected the bones inside the armor, preventing them from scattering. Some of them were like tree branches.
He still held his weapon tightly in his bones and never let go of it until his death and decades after his death.
He has seen too many dead people in his life, and has seen more cruel scenes, so he can still remain calm. He even squatted down and began to study these complete corpses carefully. However, Mo Shanshan has never seen such a terrifying and cruel thing.
In the picture, her beautiful cheeks looked a little pale, she was holding her hands tightly, and she couldn't speak at all.
The weapons held tightly in the bones of the dead were extraordinary, and they were still chilling after decades. Ning Que noticed that the armor worn by these people actually had the smell of powerful runes on them, and he was even more shocked, feeling in his heart
I think these people must have been the most powerful men of the Demon Sect back then.
He stretched out his fingers and gently brushed away the dust on the armor, trying to see the runes clearly. However, he did not expect that when his fingertips just touched the surface of the armor, there was a crisp sound, and the seemingly indestructible armor suddenly cracked.
Come!
There was a continuous sound of crisp sounds, and the armors of the former Demon Sect strongmen in front of the stone steps all shattered, and the powerful rune breath remaining on them also dissipated in the air, and could no longer be felt at all.
The fracture of the armor was smooth and shiny, and it was obviously cut directly by a sharp weapon such as a sword. Who could cut off such a powerful armor so easily with a sword? Moreover, the sword intention penetrated the body without emitting, condensing
After being inside the armor for decades, it suddenly burst out after being touched by Ning Que's finger today?
Ning Que had the answer in his heart and remained silent.
Mo Shanshan was shocked before. Looking at his silence at this time, he could see that he was somewhat calm and unhurried. He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and had some other feelings.
The two walked up the stone steps and pushed open the palace door.
Straight to the point, we saw a stone monument as huge as a mountain.
This stone monument seems to be polished from a whole piece of rock, and its surface is extremely smooth.
"Stele without words?"
Mo Shanshan noticed the stone tablet first, thinking of the legends he had heard, and said in surprise.
Ning Que was paying close attention to the movements around him and subconsciously asked: "What is a wordless monument?"
Mo Shanshan said in a daze: "The Great Priest of Guangming who betrayed Haotian and founded the Demon Sect once said that the only one who knows me and sins against me is the ear of time, so when he died, he asked that not a single word be left on the monument.
, let the world comment."
"So it turns out that the person buried in this monument is the Great Priest of Light?"
Ning Que looked up in shock, and immediately his expression became even more shocked.
