Chapter 315 Ancient Ruins
After a long sleep, when Bing Zhixie woke up, the aurora in the sky had disappeared. Alice still fell asleep again. Although she had been carried on her back, she was already very tired from the poisonous injuries.
Bingzhixie got some food and allowed Dilong Zaffino to move around freely. The Shuiyun Stream is no longer like the ice and snow outside, and edible food is easy to find.
On the campfire, the fragrant grilled octopus and fish soup are things I haven’t eaten in a long time. Alice was awakened by the aroma and had a delicious meal.
After eating, Alice asked: "Master, where will we go after we get this dragon zero? Should we immediately go find the other dragon zero mentioned in my uncle's letter?"< br>
Bing Zhixie shook his head: "It depends on the situation. The information about the other piece of Dragon Ling in the letter is not very clear. I just found records about Long Ling and Luo Shenguo in the literature."
" Luo Shenguo?" Alice asked curiously: "Where is that place?"
Bing Zhixie said: "It's far away, I heard it's south. A small country in Fang Subcontinent, I don’t know the details, I just heard people talk about it.”
“Luo Shenguo, Luo Shenguo.” Alice said it twice, full of yearning. : "I really want to see the countries in the southern subcontinent. I don't know what they are like."
"There will be a chance."
"Really?" Alice said.
"Well. I have a hunch that if I want to search for Long Ling, I will definitely travel to all parts of the world. Not just the subcontinent, the Eastern Continent, and maybe some places that people can't even think of. Look here, Who would have thought that Shuiyun Stream would be such a wonderful world?" Bing Zhixie raised her right hand slightly as she spoke, and a gust of wind element lifted Alice up. She couldn't leave yet, so she had to be carried by Bing Zhixie.
Alice happily lay on Bing Zhixie's back. When she thought that there were countless wonderful places in the world waiting for her to visit, she couldn't help but become excited and enthusiastic.
The open space in the middle of Shuiyunzhijian is very large. If you raise your head, you can see the stars in the sky. Bingzhixie knew that the ancient ruins must be in this open space, and it shouldn't be difficult to find.
"Master, look!" Alice shouted happily, because she had seen the buildings of the ancient ruins.
Of course Bing Zhixie also saw it. They walked along the edge of the woods and saw a group of ancient ruins in the blink of an eye. Buildings made of large stones and carved white stone pillars stood incompletely in various places inside and outside the building. Some stone pillars had many cracks and looked like they were about to collapse at any time.
The ground has also changed from grass to a road paved with stone bricks. The gaps between the stone bricks and the cracks in the walls are covered with unique plants that can only be found in Shuiyunzhijian. Two white geckos jumped out from the cracks in the rocks and ate the mosquitoes attached to the flowers and plants in one bite.
Walking in the middle of the complex. There are many ancient buildings here, but many of them look the same, just like the houses where residents live.
"Is it possible that someone has lived here before?" Alice said: "Master, let's go in and have a look. We don't know what it is like inside."
The door of the building is a stone door. It's just that it's damaged, and it's pitch black inside, making it feel a bit scary. Bing Zhixie was also a little curious and carried Alice into a room.
Alice's fur coat was inlaid with light crystals, which illuminated the room brightly.
Many of these things in the house have been damaged, and some are scattered on the ground and broken into pieces. It should be that wild beasts or monsters came in and destroyed them. Most of the things here are made of stone. The stone table, stone stools, stone teacups, and even the spoons placed on the stone plates on the stone table are also made of stone.
“It’s really strange here.” Alice said: “How come everything is made of stone.”
Bing Zhixie said: “Even if there is something else, it should be dead. "
Alice said: "Master, there is a staircase over there."
There is a stone staircase in the northwest corner of the house, which leads to the second floor. However, the staircase has been damaged and broken. However, Bing Zhixie summoned the wind element to leap into the air and jumped up to the second floor.
Different from one hall on the first floor, the second floor is divided into several cabins. Bing Zhixie went in and took a look. There were not many things in the room, but there was a stone bed and a stone cabinet. There were black marks on the stone bed, which should have been left by the rotten quilt. Bingzhixie said: "It seems that people did live here in ancient times, but they didn't come often. Maybe they only came once every few years or more than ten years."
Alice was surprised. : "Master, how do you know."
Bing Zhixie was about to tell the reason, but did not say it, and said: "This question is very simple, you can think about it yourself."
"Ah?" Alice leaned on Bing Zhixie's shoulder and thought for a while. She looked at the nearby stone houses and then looked around: "This place doesn't seem to be enough for many people to live for a long time."
"Yeah ." Bing Zhixie said: "In the future, if you can't think of a reason, ask me again."
"I understand, Master." Alice smiled.
Bing Zhixie turned around again, and he found that some magic arrays were still vaguely visible on the stone walls indoors and outdoors, and some magic arrays were carved directly on them. He stood in front of a formation and looked carefully. The magic words written on it were all ancient magic words that he could not understand. This place should indeed be an ancient ruin from before the Holy Garden Calendar more than 7,000 years ago.
Bing Zhixie watched for a while, and suddenly a white gecko jumped out from the crack in the stone, startling Alice who was fascinated by it.
Outside the house, Bing Zhixie continued walking deeper into the ruins.
Alice admired the ruins full of ancient charm and said: "I wonder how people lived in ancient times. Would they be the same as we do now? Also, what caused the wind? The demise of the capital and the establishment of the holy garden are all mysteries that cannot be understood."
While saying this, Bing Zhixie suddenly started running.
Alice asked in surprise: "Master, what's wrong?"
Bing Zhixie didn't say anything, ran a few steps, stopped and smelled, then turned and walked behind a building .
Alice also smelled a strange smell in the air: "What does it smell like? It smells so bad! It seems to be a fishy smell."
After arriving at the building, it turned out that there were piles of fur scales and skeletons of snake and fish animals. There was a pile of them, and saprophytes were everywhere.
"Why is this here? It's so disgusting. Master, please leave quickly." Alice covered her nose and said.
Bing Zhixie frowned and returned to the middle of the building. Not long after walking, he saw a pile of charcoal ash and a large pile of dry firewood next to it.
“Is there someone here!?” Alice looked at the silent ancient buildings around her. Except for the chirping of insects, there was no sound of people at all.
Bing Zhixie squatted down and took a look. The charcoal was still very new. Apparently someone had lit a fire here not long ago: "Zaffino, go see if there is anyone around."
Flying above the ruins Emperor Dragon Zafino flapped his wings and flew into the distance.
Bing Zhixie carried Alice on his back and quickly searched the buildings one by one. If someone had come, he would be most worried about whether Long Ling had been taken away. It didn't take long for him to search, and he found signs that someone had recently lived in a building.
"Who is it? Who can come here?" Bing Zhixie knew that it was impossible for ordinary people to discover such a hidden place.
Alice said: "Does anyone else know that the map Winnie gave me has been seen?"
Bing Zhixie remained silent. When Winnie gave him the map, it was impossible for others to see it. And even if others saw it, they wouldn't know where it was and what its use was. What's more, Shuiyunzhijian was not an ordinary person. A place where you can come. But before that, I don’t know whether Wenke showed it to others. But he knows one thing, the people who can enter here are definitely not ordinary people.
