Chapter 429 The disappearing picture scroll
Liu Bowen slays the dragon.
It is not a real historical event, but a widely circulated anecdote. It is precisely for this reason that Chen Ziyan failed to think of this at the first time.
But then Chen Ziyan realized that this was a bit wrong. Although there are many versions of this anecdote, it seems that no matter which one it is, the dragon in it refers to the dragon vein.
"Isn't that right? I also know the story of Liu Bowen slaying a dragon, but what he slayed in that was all dragon veins?" Thinking this in his heart, Chen Ziyan asked directly.
Now that they have established basic trust, there is no need to be needlessly secretive.
Hearing Chen Ziyan's question, Hu Bayi, who was the first to think of this, also frowned slightly: "That's true, dragon veins are another matter."
Chen Ziyan did not pay attention to Hu Bayi's words. , but looked at the blue-robed Tibetan, what is going on, it is up to this person to reveal the answer.
The blue-robed Tibetan did not continue to show off, and said softly: "Liu Ji didn't kill any dragon veins at the beginning, but all the dragons on the entire land of Kyushu. If he really attacked the dragon veins, the mountains and rivers would have been destroyed. Broken."
Then he took the ancestral vein of Kunlun Mountain as an example. If he wanted to cut off the dragon vein here, he would have to destroy all the mountains. This is no longer something that can be done by manpower. .
Even in the ancient times when humans and gods lived together, no one would think of attacking the dragon vein.
"Are you killing all the dragons? There really was such a thing as a dragon before the collaboration!" Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but exclaimed.
After all, the dragon, a creature that has become a national totem, has a different status in everyone's heart. I used to think it was a virtual fantasy creature and didn't think it was anything. Now I know that the dragon was once It would be a lie to say that you are not surprised after it actually exists.
Wang Kaixuan just acted a bit exaggerated, and others were also surprised by this.
Even Chen Ziyan, a reincarnated human being, finds it incredible at this moment.
He can accept that dragons once existed in this world. After all, there are still ancient gods alive now. But according to the meaning of the blue-robed Tibetan, the so-called dragons are actually a race, and they were killed by Liu Bowen in the early Ming Dynasty. This was a bit too much for him to accept.
And...
"Doesn't the dragon have a corresponding ancient god?" Chen Ziyan's deepest doubt is this.
According to his current understanding of the world, each creature usually has a corresponding ancient god. It makes no sense that a creature as powerful as a dragon does not have its own god.
"Yes, and they are very strong. They belong to the top group among the ancient gods." The blue-robed Tibetan nodded, but then came an unexpected but reasonable answer. It came out from his mouth:
"According to the ancient records of the clan, the Dragon God once occupied most of the oceans and was the veritable Lord of the Oceans in ancient times. However, the Dragon God has fallen in ancient times."
I learned this from Chen Ziyan In this situation, in the eyes of our ancestors, the type of Dragon God is definitely a great supplement. It is estimated that we have to create opportunities to get started even if there is no chance. How can we stay.
"Is the dragon Liu Bowen killed the kind of dragon we know?" After thinking for a while, Shirley Yang also asked a question.
The striped dragon also has a dragon in its name, but it looks like a standard amphibious creature, so the purity of the dragon is also open to question.
"I don't know about this. I just saw relevant records in ancient books. If the predictions are correct, this dragon should be the descendant left behind by the original dragon body." Blue-robed Tibetan Man He shook his head and said.
If they hadn't reached a cooperation with Wang Zanghai, they, who were living in seclusion in Kunlun, wouldn't have known about this inside story. How could they know what the beheaded dragon looked like.
But talking about this, he suddenly thought of a piece of information he saw in an ancient book, and said it out:
"By the way, Liu Ji didn't seem to kill all the dragons back then. Kill them all, but seal some of them."
The Blue Robe Tibetans themselves don’t know how accurate this information is, but they probably got it from Wang Zanghai. It won't be fake.
"Seal?" Chen Wenjin said slowly at this time: "This reminds me of Suolongjing. Similar legends have appeared in various places. Now it seems that it is not a coincidence."
She is like a sponge now, extremely eager to absorb new knowledge, so when she can show her presence and role, she enthusiastically stands up.
She is smart and knows very well that if Chen Ziyan cannot see her own value, then the journey will end and the two parties will part ways.
In the past, Chen Wenjin must not have cared about this. After all, what she learned from her family and herself was enough for her to gain a firm foothold in this industry.
But in just a few days, after she saw a world completely different from the past, she completely left her previous thoughts behind.
Now I look back at the ancient tombs I visited before. How are they any different from playing house? Even the dangerous exploration trip to Banai last time was just a fight between people. How can it be compared to Chen Ziyan's side.
There are always ancient lost civilizations, unknown gods, and even ancient gods that have not been recorded in history. For an archeology enthusiast, this is no less tempting than catnip for cats. It is simply irresistible, okay?
"Lock the Dragon Well...it's really possible." Chen Ziyan nodded slightly.
He felt that Chen Wenjin’s analysis was very reasonable. Many things seemed accidental, but there were so many coincidences.
"What should we do next? There seems to be no road here?" At this moment, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded.
Looking along the sound, I found that Wang Kaixuan, the eager guy for three minutes, had already run to the other end of the temple at some point.
"Is there no way out? This shouldn't be the case." Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi didn't even bother to think about slaying the dragon, and walked over quickly.
Don't worry about whether the dragon is really sealed in the Dragon Well. They are far away now. It is more important to solve the curse quickly.
Although Chen Ziyan did not move, he stood there and frowned slightly.
According to the progress of the original plot, they should be heading deeper now, but the way he knew was inside the Wind Erosion Lake.
Chen Ziyan doesn’t think that the current Wind Erosion Lake can still be entered. Who knows how many old white-bearded fish and striped dragons there are now. It will be miserable for them if they are blocked on the road.
"I think there must be a way forward in this temple." Seeing Hu Bayi's thoughtful expression, Shirley Yang said.
Although she is not as prophetic as Chen Ziyan, she has a lot of information, so she has her own views on this matter.
Then Shirley Yang pointed to a human skin painting scroll not far away and said: "According to the records here, there used to be five treasures in the Demon Kingdom, two of which came from the snake god, namely A part of the snake god's skeleton and a gem turned into the snake god's eyes. It is said that the latter can make the snake god's soul immortal. When the end of heaven, earth and time, the snake god will be reborn like the legendary phoenix."
Speaking of this, Shirley Yang looked at Chen Ziyan: "This gem should be the phoenix gallbladder we found."
She felt that the name phoenix gallbladder might not only have a form that resembles a blazing flame, but also Part of the credit for this story.
"You can't believe all the content on this human skin painting scroll, you can only learn from a few parts." Chen Ziyan shook his head and said.
You don’t need to think about it to know that these two treasures from the snake god must have fallen off during the battle.
The real body of the snake god has long been turned into a bottomless ghost hole, and there will be much left. "Do you think the Scientologists also have the remains of the snake god in their hands?" Just as Chen Ziyan was thinking about this, Shirley Yang's sudden words caught his attention.
“What do you say?” Chen Ziyan turned to look at Shirley Yang.
He didn't understand why Shirley Yang said this, but what he knew was that Shirley Yang would never act without aim.
“Remember what I said about the Kansas Special Phenomena and Case Research Center?” Shirley Young asked.
Chen Ziyan nodded: "I remember."
"I went back to investigate in detail this time and found that this research center is an affiliated institution of the Church of Scientology. Although the research content is very extensive, But in fact, the real core has always been the legendary imaginary number space." Shirley Yang revealed her discovery.
"Research on imaginary number space?" Chen Ziyan pondered slightly: "This may really have something to do with the snake god. According to Kang Balo's friend, the snake god escaped here after being seriously injured. From here to Zagra Mashan has a long distance, and it is not impossible for some body tissue to fall off halfway.”
When Chen Ziyan thinks about things now, he will not ignore it even if it is a slim possibility, because many things happen to be like this, especially in a world like this.
"Master Chen, something is wrong here!"
Before the two of them could continue their discussion, Hu Bayi's voice came over from the other side.
Chen Ziyan knew that Hu Bayi and the others must have discovered something, and immediately gathered his thoughts and walked towards his location.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were standing directly behind the temple. When they saw Chen Ziyan walking over, they immediately pointed to the wall in front of them and said:
"Mr. Chen, look up here!"
Chen Ziyan looked where he pointed and found that there was a mural on the wall.
It was just blocked by the human skin scroll outside, so I couldn't find it right away.
But after taking a closer look, Chen Ziyan found that the murals on the wall were very rough, as if they were left in a hurry. They were basically graphics composed of simple lines.
“This seems to record the complete process of a sacrificial ceremony, and...this is what the Reincarnation Sect left behind!”
Shirley Yang stared at the mural and said suddenly.
At first she thought that this mural, like those human skin scrolls, was left behind by the disappeared demonic kingdom, but when she saw the back, she realized something was wrong. The clothes on the second half of the mural were clearly It is the style of the Samsara Sect period.
"Reincarnation Sect? How come there are murals from the Reincarnation Sect period here, and they are still blocked behind the human skin scrolls. Could it be that the person who painted them did this deliberately?" Hu Bayi asked doubtfully.
Although the Samsara Sect and the Demon Kingdom can be considered to be of the same origin, they are not actually closely connected.
“But what is the reason for doing this?” Shirley Yang was also a little confused.
Judging from these human skin scrolls, it does not look like they have been tampered with without authorization, but why the murals of the Samsara Sect appear behind the human skin scrolls is also difficult to explain.
No matter from which angle you look at it, the two are contradictory.
"Old Hu, how did you discover the mural behind this?" Chen Ziyan seemed to have thought of something at this time, and looked at Hu Bayi and asked.
Hu Bayi was stunned for a moment when he was asked. He paused for a moment before replying: "I...it seems that I opened this human skin scroll by myself."
He was completely taken aback before. Confused by the new discovery, he didn't notice it at all.
"Open it yourself?" Chen Ziyan looked at the human skin scroll in Hu Bayi's hand.
He thought that Hu Bayi discovered what was going on behind the scenes and uncovered the human skin scroll on his own. Unexpectedly, it was the human skin scroll that gave the hint himself.
The next second, Chen Ziyan's eyes suddenly froze when he looked at the human skin scroll.
Because just when he looked over, he found that the human skin scroll in Hu Bayi's hand was slowly fading, and it looked like it would soon disappear out of thin air.
The change in Chen Ziyan's expression naturally attracted the attention of others, and they all immediately looked towards Hu Bayi's hand holding the human skin scroll.
But when they saw the situation of the human skin scroll, they all showed the same look.
Hu Ba subconsciously let go of his hand and took two steps towards the others. His client was even more shocked.
You must know that without Chen Ziyan's discovery, he would not have felt the human skin scroll in his hand slowly disappearing.
Chen Ziyan quickly calmed down his thoughts. He turned to look at the other human skin scrolls around him and found that all the skin scrolls in the temple were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This..." Hu Ba looked at Chen Ziyan unconsciously, wanting to see if he had a reasonable explanation.
Everyone else's scalps were numb at this time, and they also looked at Chen Ziyan.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly. This kind of blind dependence is unacceptable!
He also wants to know what is going on!
And just when Chen Ziyan was helplessly complaining in his heart, Shirley Yang suddenly said: "This is the illusion of the realm!"
"Miss Yang, what is the illusion of the realm you are talking about? Huh?" Wang Kaixuan asked hurriedly.
Shirley Yang explained: "The transformation of the realm is actually the space of imaginary numbers. You can also think of it as the bottomless ghost cave we encountered!"
She didn't know how to explain it, so she could only find a similar one. Examples can make it easier for others to understand what you want to express.
"Miss Yang, you said this is another bottomless ghost cave? Isn't this the ruins of Evil Luo Hai City in the Demon Kingdom?" Hu Bayi understood what Shirley Yang wanted to express and asked immediately .
But it is one thing to understand, and it is another thing to understand.
They walked through the ruins of this ancient city for a long time, and they proved with their own actions that this place was not an illusion. How could it suddenly turn into a bottomless ghost cave.
Shirley Yang bit her lip. She didn't know how to explain it so that others could understand what she wanted to express.
When Chen Ziyan saw this, he said: "Don't worry, no matter what is here, we are all fine now."
He knew that because of this sudden change, everyone's heart was in a state of confusion. It's starting to get chaotic, so it needs to be stabilized first.
