Chapter 158 157. The City of the Hidden Age
At the bottom of the abyss that light cannot reach, a huge red creature stirs up the ocean currents.
There shouldn't be any light in this deep abyss, but at this moment, little fluorescent lights gather together, like stars floating in the boundless universe. These stars give this dead place a dazzling life. Through the cold water, you can see the occasional floating bubbles and the stone walls extending in the distance.
Li Xi'an stared at these stars.
After seeing Li Xi'an's true face, these little guys became quiet.
Except for the light emanating from the slender body, it was exactly the same as when he arrived, a tranquility that could not be disturbed.
The calls of the ichthyosaurs changed from high to low, and they were conveying another message.
This reminded Li Xi'an of the ichthyosaurs he encountered in the narrow space under the Yellow River. It was the first time he encountered such creatures, but at that time these ichthyosaurs seemed not hostile to him. After nodding in line, they returned to the sarcophagus. The ichthyosaurs seemed to be like this at the moment and had no hostility toward him.
The red dragon began to swim in the abyss.
The water dances, creating layers of ripples.
The river that does not belong here is flowing, glowing with the luster of the silver moon. In addition to the moonlight and the seal characters blooming in the water, there is also the light swimming along the river. Two groups of ichthyosaurs met, and it was unknown how many years separated them. They were looking at each other, their low chirps were similar to those of birds, and Li Xian noticed that their chirps were getting closer to the same.
Little bits of light flickered in the two groups of fish and dragons.
They are exchanging, exchanging what they see and hear. This is a very efficient method of communication. The group in the abyss seems to have no intention of becoming one with the group living in the Jianyue River. Instead, they are telling something to the ichthyosaurs in the Jianyue River. This is the language of their tribe and does not belong to any language on the road to rise.
And it was conveyed to Li Xi'an through the ichthyosaur.
"We guard this abyss, and no spirit can pass through it. But you are an exception. You should have reached the same door."
The same door? Jiaolong was silent, thinking about what the same door was. The meaning of the Ichthyosaurus in the Abyss is that if he had not passed through similar things before, he would still have blocked them just like other intruders. Of course, these are still very weak for the Star Ichthyosaurs described in the legend. They cannot stop them. If you can stop it, let’s talk about it differently.
The fish and dragon in Jianyue River are also delivering words for Li Xi'an.
"Where are you from? Eternal Life Coffin?" Li Xi'an expressed his guess. Perhaps these fish and dragons are the same as those in Jianyue River. They are living creatures that have been resurrected from the Eternal Life Coffin and have bodies to swim in the abyss.
"The coffin of immortality? No, we were here when we regained consciousness when we opened our eyes, and as the group who followed you said, instructions similar to those in the coffin of immortality were engraved, allowing us to defend this place and devour everything that comes."
"Have any living beings passed here before me?"
"A human woman." The fish and dragons replied.
At the same time, they looked at the red dragon in front of them, most of its body hidden in the sea water, and added: "More powerful than you."
The ichthyosaurs dispersed suddenly and stopped talking.
The stars were swimming upward, gradually disappearing into the darkness.
what happened? Li Xi'an conveyed his spiritual thoughts to the fish and dragons in Jianyue River.
"There is an intruder, who is about to arrive now. They are going to perform their duties. Don't worry about them. Our tribe is not that fragile. Even if it has been destroyed, it has never been because of weakness, but because of being too strong. Even if it is inscribed alive by others. , we can still recover from the years.”
An unprecedented passage.
Resonance from the group of fish and dragons, they swallowed countless evil gods under the evil law of the great god Yun. They gave birth to their own wisdom a long time ago and no longer drive their instincts. But this is the first time they have spoken such clear and proud words to Li Xian. Maybe it was because during the days we got together, we either ate or slept, and the cycle continued. Just after waking up, we ate some highly nutritious substances, such as the cross-border real bone statue, and then fell asleep again.
The two sides had nothing to say at all.
What's more, Jian Yuechuan is really comfortable for the ichthyosaurs. Who is willing to give up sleeping comfortably to deal with dragons?
Darkness appeared above, and Li Xi'an continued to dive.
This time, Jian Yuechuan was draped over his body, like a huge, moon-white cuff. The Jianyue River comes from an ordinary river, and there is nothing magical about it except for the temple where the mountain people pray. But isn’t the most pious heart the most magical power? The prayers of ancient people can even create gods, the most primitive power. According to the spiritual practice, Jian Yuechuan who led them to pray should actually be some kind of "dharma robe".
All evil will not come close to it, and all evil will not fall. It is a dharma garment that protects life and death. This is also the wish of those who created Jianyue River.
Even though the red dragon is rarely used, its body is already strong enough. Most enemies may not even be able to break the scales when encountering the dragon itself. Most of the time, he uses Jian Yuechuan to wrap it around Taihang Baxing's arm. As a robe, it can keep away all evil spirits, and then smashing it down can still destroy all evil spirits.
But when facing this ultimate goal, Li Xi'an became careful.
He had never heard of a woman more powerful than him who could walk in this world. The only person I can think of is Yuchai Shunde, but the other person is Zhenyi. Let alone walking in the world, his current body can't even come to him. What's more, the reason why he dared to follow the route guided by Yuchai Shunde was because he knew this woman well enough.
After sleeping in a ghost coffin for two years, he had repeatedly deduced countless times to know what kind of existence the other party was.
Since Yuchai Shunde has given guidance in a way that only he can detect, then what reason does he have for not coming?
The unshakable.
Dive down to the bottom of the abyss.
Thousands of years of silence lie here, it is dark and empty, and even the stirring of the sea water seems superfluous when you arrive here.
Suddenly, star-like silhouettes lit up at the bottom of the abyss.
The arrangement, changes, are reflected in the dragon's eyes above.
In ancient times, people often used stars as reference objects to record things, and also regarded stars as sacred doors, corresponding to gods.
The "door" appears.
A city-state between illusion and reality appeared at the bottom of this abyss. It was not a palace and tall buildings, but low gray-white earth buildings. It is obvious that this is a city built by humans, and now it uses the starry sky to present the phantom of the past. In the center of the row of buildings is a strange high tower, a structure similar to a pyramid, made of huge rocks. The entire pyramid is gray-white, huge, incomplete cone-shaped, with a temple for worshiping the gods at the top.
The "door" is on the temple at the top of the pyramid.
The red dragon disappeared into the sea and turned into a human form walking on the central avenue of the city.
It wasn't until he actually walked in the city that he discovered that these illusory buildings were not low, but rather tall. The image of a human walking among them was like an ant looking into the land of giants. But this city is obviously man-made and built for people to live in. Li Xi'an could see windows, stone stairs for people to walk on, and even fruits.
The wide black sleeved robe floated as casually as Li Xi'an's hair.
If it weren't for the buoyancy and the deep sea water, he would really seem to be in a huge city-state built deep in the rain forest.
It does not belong to the Yan Kingdom, nor does it belong to any of the ancient records he read. I am afraid that only a few words about this city-state can be found in the records of other ancient countries. Li Xi'an raised his hand and opened a path at the bottom of the abyss, following the central avenue of the city. Without the sea water, he was finally able to walk normally. At the same time, the huge pressure from the depths of the abyss dropped, pressing on Li Xi'an.
It doesn't matter.
It would not have any impact on Li Xi'an.
At this moment, he was like the people who had lived in this city-state, climbing onto the pyramid where reality and reality could no longer be distinguished.
The steps are just right.
The murals carved on the pyramid are of prostrate people and winged snake-like creatures. After such a long time, it is not difficult to see that the content of the mural is that of prostrate people paying tribute and worshiping the winged snake. The twisted snake had wheat and corn growing under its body. At the same time, the mural on the other side shows a winged snake passing through the clouds. Above it is the morning star, below it is the depicted rain, and the people on the earth with open arms.
This city does not belong to the seal that Kyushu once had.
Li Xi'an knew this from the beginning. Things that can be engraved in the world, things that are opened at a certain point in time or through key methods come from the hidden era.
This city, which was buried under the abyss until it was briefly revealed today, is in the shadow of history.
