Brother Chongzi spat on the wall, but Nangong Manyun ignored him. While they were talking, Taoist Zijin and Zhang Fan had already walked a long way! Nangong Manyun and Jiang Hai also left Brother Chongzi behind.
It was not until this time that Brother Chongzi felt the smell of sulfur all around him. The strange heat enveloped him silently.
But in the darkness, it seemed like something was staring at him!
This suddenly reminded Brother Chongzi that before they entered the city, they encountered a female corpse!
The corpse could easily knock down a wall, and if it hit his small body, it would tear him into pieces in an instant.
"Don't walk so fast! Wait for me."
He shouted, looked around cautiously, grabbed a flashlight and chased after him.
There are many palaces in the inner city, but without exception, they all look like the mansions of wealthy families! Rather than the paradise-like place for practicing and refining pills that Jiang Hai is looking for.
Moreover, the inner city is very large, spreading out endlessly in the darkness! It can be said that even if the Qien Snake is still alive, it would be very difficult to find them without relying on smell, senses and other abilities!
You have to know that the body of the Qiong snake is dozens of meters long and as thick as an old tree that several people can hug together, but compared with the wide streets and the huge city, it is just like a small loach in a pond.
The few of them quickened their pace and approached the central area of the inner city. The first thing that caught their eyes was the flat bluestone floor and the huge doorhead that stretched above their heads like an ancient archway.
In the center of the archway, there are some incomprehensible words written on it! It is supported by several pillars on both sides, painted red with vermilion lacquer, which has a very strong visual impact.
"This should be the center of the entire city! It's hard to imagine how glorious this city once was. Look, these pillars are all made of snow mountain pine! Just these few poles in front of us, if they can be taken to the outside world, they are likely to cause a sensation."
Jiang Hai patted a few pillars and sighed with satisfaction.
Brother Chongzi looked at these tall pillars, his eyes moving rapidly, and then he said with a frown.
"This kind of stuff doesn't grow in Wanku Mountain. It must have been brought in from outside. I don't know if you still remember the Yixiantian Gorge. The coffins there seem to be made of this kind of wood!"
His words reached everyone's ears, causing Jiang Hai and Nangong Manyun to turn around and look at him.
"Are you sure?" Jiang Hai asked!
"In the past, Maarsen and I have transported many corpses abroad. We usually relied on the wood business of ships, so we know something about wood! I mainly distinguish them by smell. These pillars still have a fragrance! It is quite similar to the smell I smelled in the narrow sky."
Brother Chongzi's face looked serious, and he was rarely serious!
"So, maybe the area around the narrow strip of sky was once a place where snow mountain pine grew!" Jiang Hai said, "The growth period of snow mountain pine is too long. It would take hundreds of years for it to grow like this! Moreover, there are no signs of splicing on these pillars. This is a whole tree transported back! Can human power do this? Even with the help of water, it is impossible to do it."
"What if, it was those four snakes who helped!"
Taoist Zi Jin suddenly said something!
This made Jiang Hai stunned!
"How is it possible? The four snakes that appeared in the picture are all extremely ferocious monsters... How could they help others build a city?"
Nangong Manyun questioned and said without allowing any objection: "Besides, let's just talk about the Teng Snake. We all saw it with our own eyes. It can spit fire from its mouth and is dozens of meters long! If it can destroy a city, I believe it, but can it build a city? Isn't this just wishful thinking!"
Taoist Zi Jin remained silent and glanced at Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan turned his eyes away and did not give Taoist Zi Jin an answer!
He looked up at the huge pillar that stood tall and said softly!
"This is just the boundary between the outer and inner layers. Such good materials were used. It can be said that the person who built this city must have been full of hope. And it can be seen that this city was very prosperous at that time, otherwise it would not have been able to support such a large-scale construction!"
Old man Jiang Hai nodded: "You see, even though the culture is different, the underlying logic is common. The flying eaves and arches, carved beams and painted buildings, and those bizarre statues are all majestic, beautiful, exquisite and vivid! Perhaps we have really discovered an unknown civilization."
There was some obsession in Mr. Jiang Hai's eyes. The older people get, the more they want to pursue novelty! The older people get, the more stubborn they become in believing that everything in the world is predetermined.
Therefore, the impact of a new civilization on ordinary people may just be to provide more topics for conversation.
But for Jiang Hai, everything shaped by different civilizations will be different! Maybe something that has never appeared in this civilization has already been everywhere in another civilization.
This undoubtedly boosted his confidence a lot, and Grandpa Jiang Hai even began to take note of the special carvings that appeared around him. With Grandpa Jiang Hai's mind and knowledge, he could probably guess the meaning of these words!
In this way, perhaps when he encounters something new in this civilization that represents something like immortality, he won't miss it again.
Brother Chongzi obviously had the same idea. Although he did not have Jiang Hai's rich experience or Mr. Fei's profound knowledge, he knew very well that this product, which represented another civilization and was also common to Chinese civilization, would be very valuable! It might be more valuable than gold and silver treasures, so he took out his dagger and came to a wall on the right. The wall was full of carvings with special patterns, which were very special and embedded in the wall! He suspected that this was precious metal, so he dug it with his dagger and planned to take some away.
Zhang Fan did not stop him. He was more concerned about where the Qiongshe Daochang was. He was also quite concerned about whether the female corpse, or the woman, who had just disappeared from everyone's sight, still had some memories of the builder.
But soon, Taoist Zi Jin discovered something was wrong!
He turned his head to look at the wall, and saw that Brother Chongzi had been standing there for a long time without moving! He was still in the posture of stabbing the wall with a dagger, trying to get those metal-engraved letters off the wall! He stood there in a daze as if someone had pressed his acupoints.
"Bugs!" Taoist Zi Jin shouted, slowly stood up, and pulled out the dagger from his waist.
The bug didn't respond!
He seemed to merge with the surrounding statues, maintaining a strange posture, as if he had lost consciousness.
"Master, something happened!" Taoist Zi Jin turned around and shouted.
Zhang Fan frowned and looked towards where Brother Chongzi was! ?
