Chapter 1769 Circular Foreign Land
The scene in front of you is an ancient ruins. As you walk forward, the ground is paved with pure white stones. The front is open and vast, with long artificially built open channels, and various Strange stone statues of gods. Looking up, you can see the blue sky and white clouds, and looking down, you can see the gurgling water in the canal. Bing Zhixie touched the ground and wall. Although it felt a bit old and rough, the stone was the older and more solid type that she had seen before.
Bing Zhixie noticed that Pegasus had also followed. Although he felt that Pegasus was safer outside, he didn't pay much attention to it and allowed it to follow.
Kun suddenly shouted and pointed to the sky: "Look, it's the monster that attacked us before."
Bing Zhixie indeed saw the swallowing dragon that he had fought with before Cardamom vine, it flies in the air like a jellyfish swimming in the sea, moving quickly.
"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 didn't 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."
"No." Bing Zhixie said: "Looking down from the outside, this mountain peak actually exists, and there is no sunken valley. I've observed it carefully before, but I can't see what's going on inside."
Kun looked confused: "Can't you see it from the outside? Then this is..."
Bing Zhixie doesn't wait. She spoke and flew into the air. Before she could fly very high, she was blocked by a huge physical force. It feels like a fish hitting a transparent glass fish tank.
When they landed back on the ground, Kun ran over and asked what was wrong. 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 real and not constructed by magic. The light source can shine in. , 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."
< br>This metaphor is quite vivid. Kun seemed to understand and asked: "So the 'fetal demon' is here, right?"
< br> "It's not wrong. 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 many damages and cracks. There are many weeds growing there, and the tallest ones are as tall as They are two or three people tall, but not densely packed. There are clusters here and there, a little bit sparsely, but there are a lot of rocks 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 were destroyed manually. There are hundreds of piles of rubble scattered here, which should be a complex of buildings. He muttered: "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 a real space. You can see it from the inside The sky outside cannot be seen 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 it didn't matter. The important thing was that they came here on this trip. Purpose. Anyway, this place is very strange.
In fact, this was the first time he encountered this kind of thing. His previous speculations were based on his own magic theory.
......
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 and leaves, and four-legged snakes and mosquitoes hunting among them, but there was no danger for the moment. This area is in the shape of a perfect circle. To the north of the center of the open space, there is a slightly raised stone foundation in a larger rectangular area about four hundred meters long and one hundred meters wide. 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 circular shape to form more than half a circle. These pillar stones are bright gold in color, with a metallic sheen but are inconspicuous. They feel cold to the touch, and indeed have the feel of stone. The cup is decorated with incised patterns, more like some kind of mantra. 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. The appearance is unclear. The body is half human and half animal, but neither of them is The human face. They are made of the same material as stone pillars and are about three people tall. Counting the two in the gaps around the eight stone pillars, there are nine statues in total. Nine statues and eight pillars are connected together like a surrounding wall, surrounding an area of two to three hundred square meters.
Bingzhixie 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 not the same group of people who settled in the market-like ruins we saw outside the cave. That group was the second group of people to move here. This can be seen from the materials used in their buildings. The black stone tiger is enshrined as a vine. When we came here, we didn’t see anything related to the stone tiger, except for the mechanism that opened the secret cave. However, the first batch of residents who destroyed the place did not destroy the building..."
While speaking, 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 seen clearly at a glance. There was actually an exquisite 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 irrigate the plants in the flower beds. At this time, the flowers in the flower bed are in full bloom, and small cyan, pink, purple, and yellow flowers decorate this desolate historic site, making it seem a little more alive.
Something went wrong. Bing Zhixie and Kun were equally worried about danger, but it seemed that 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 the eight pillars and nine statues, which are bright gold, but the stone pavilion is painted with bright blue patterns, which makes it look less dull and cold. The pavilion is also supported by eight pillars and a narrow wall hugged by one person. It has a circular vault and steps below. The eight-pillar stone pavilion is exactly opposite to the pillar wall outside. The stone pillars in the pavilion are all empty. You can walk up the steps into the stone pavilion in any direction, and you can also directly see the situation inside the stone pavilion. But what caught Bing Zhixie's attention was the relief sculpture on the eaves of this circular stone pavilion, which was a snake god with nine wings. These snake god stone sculptures open their teeth and explore their heads, as if they are attacking the enemy, or they are guarding something.
