As the microbiota in the clouds awakens from its dormant state, the underground world welcomes the morning in the clouds.Patches of white clouds lit up one after another like sequentially energized light panels, and a mysterious glow fell from the top of the clouds to illuminate the entire grassland.The locals have their own worldview to explain the day-night cycle and the phenomenon of wind and rain in this world, and they believe that a huge monster breathes at the end of the world, and the smoke from the monster forms a cloud that covers the earth, and a huge firebird called "Kudra" flies out of the monster's nostrils every morning, and the firebird lights up the clouds, so that the light shines on the earth.A team came to the high slope near the ancient city of Dorashill, where Vivien and Hao Ren were standing at the top to observe the distribution of the city's buildings, and several small bats were hovering over the city, using ultrasound to detect the details of the megalithic ruins.Vivien saw some of the city's secrets in the visions of the Blood Crystal, and now she is using her bat clone to find the parts that corroborate the illusions.Geisel and Bernia were also brought along, and now the latter was praying to the clouds with his eyes closed, muttering difficult sentences that seemed strange for her age.Heatherian was bored, and she asked Geisel curiously, "What is she doing?"
”Geisel explains Bernia's actions: "The saint is thanking Kudla, the giant bird of fire, for lighting up the sky and bringing light to the world, and at the same time praying that Kudra will remember to return to his nest on time when dusk falls, so that the world will not be blessed with the legendary "light burial". ”"Light burial?""
If the Flame Bird forgets to return to its nest, the day will continue, the clouds will continue to light up for a dozen days and nights, when the temperature of the whole world will rise, and the plants will be burned by the light—there are several such events recorded in mythology," Geisel told Heatherian about the myths of the world, "If such an event occurs, the saints, elders, and warriors of all the tribes will go to the Pillar of Eternity, which their tribe guards, and knock on the shell of the pillar, so that Kudra will be reminded to return to the nest, and the day will be over." ”He was talking about the situation when the fragile ecology of this world was accidentally out of balance, after all, everything here was barely sustained by a cradle shell made by the eldest son, and the slightest fluctuation of this system could bring unimaginable turmoil to the whole world.The so-called "knocking on the shell of the Pillars of Eternity" should have a certain effect, because this is the only way for surface creatures to communicate with the firstborn sons underground: the meaning of those words of the Pillars of Eternity, so Hethanna could only pout after hearing it: "Huhehe......
It's an interesting legend, it's interesting. ”At this time, Vivien finished communicating with her bat colony, and her eyes fell on the largest pyramid on Dorasiel's side: "There is a lot of space in that building, and it should lead to the underground, and several pyramids around it have tunnels connected to it.Bernia, do you know the legend of these pyramids?
”Just as Bernia had finished praying for the clouds, she hurriedly trotted to Vivien's side: "The Great Pyramid is your throne, and the surrounding pyramids represent the three kingdoms, the three cults, and the three dominions of the Solar Dynasty. ”"Have any of you inspected the city's underground?"
Bernia thought for a moment and shook her little head vigorously: "No!
Because the city is sacred, and the foundation of the city is the foundation of the world, it is in the neck of the giant 'Toka', and if you mess with the city, 'Toka' will be angry, and he will throw the whole world off his back and throw it into chaos.Of course, if you're going to move, that's fine......
Right?
”The little saint still retains the curiosity and recklessness that she should have at this age, and while she seriously takes those myths and stories seriously, she also recklessly asks the "goddess" to verify these things.Vivien was stunned for a moment before she reacted, "Oh, Toka......
In your myths, it seems that I built the whole world on the back of this hunchbacked old man.Tsk, the imagination is so rich, I don't know how you came up with it. ”Bernia blinked, "Isn't it?"
”"You say yes," Vivien smiled, patting the little saint on the head, then pointing to the great pyramid, "Let's go there." ”The Great Pyramid on the side of Dorasel is a grand but only ornamental structure, it occupies a tenth of the city, and is made of heavy white stone bricks, the side of the pyramid facing the wilderness is smooth and stepless, and the side facing the city has an unusually wide staircase that leads from the base of the pyramid to the top of the flat tower.With this staircase as the dividing line, the towers on both sides of it are covered with huge and mysterious ancient reliefs, which depict a large number of flora and fauna landscapes and social life scenes that existed during the Sun Dynasty, almost a scroll of history carved in stone.Hao Ren didn't have time to take a closer look at the last time they came to the city, and then they couldn't help but be amazed when they saw the reliefs on the pyramid.Vivien stood at the bottom of the staircase and pointed to the reliefs that ran up the pyramid: "Look from bottom to top, these things record the history of the last days of the Sun Dynasty.At the top of the pyramid, you can see people taking refuge in the highlands and wilderness.If correct, the abstract painting at the top of the pyramid depicts the final stage: the closing of the sky. ”Hao Ren stroked those ancient weathered stones and asked casually, "But what we're looking for is underground, right?"
”"yes, but the entrance is here, find a way to open this thing......"
Vivien said as she looked at the small pyramids around the main tower, "I remember seeing in the blood crystal that these towers are activated and connected by light......
The entrance to the underground is sealed off by these megalithic structures, which require the activation of certain devices. ”The data terminal buzzed and vibrated on Hao Ren's shoulder: "Cut, it's so troublesome, a large-equivalent technical support can do everything." ”Hao Ren pulled the goods off his shoulder: "Get out, this is a cultural relic, and you are planning to blow up their temple in front of the locals." ”Vivien ignored the undisciplined conversation between Hao Ren and PDA, and as she walked up and down the huge reliefs, she recalled the fragments in her mind that were difficult to recall because they were not her own memories, but because the real thing was right in front of her, she managed to match the information with the reliefs in front of her.Finally she came to one of the reliefs, which were tilted and inlaid on the base of the pyramid, and in the center of the picture depicted a sun shining on the earth.That's what she's looking for.Vivien's fingers brushed over the rough lines that represented the sun: "Sunshine, the symbol of the old world, in this world, 'sun' is synonymous with 'ancient secrets', so to open this place you need ......"
She tapped three times on the relief, and said loudly in the language of this world: "Praise the sun!"
”Hethanna slapped her on the head: "Why do I feel so weird - the ancestor of the blood clan is actually praising the sun!"
”Vivien glared at her, "It's a password!"
”"But your password doesn't seem to work."
Hao Ren pointed to the motionless relief to remind Vivien.Yes, nothing happened after Vivien's "praise of the sun", the reliefs didn't glow, the pyramids didn't dangle to open an underground entrance or anything like that, the scene was as quiet as ever.Vivien frowned and knocked on the relief again: "Maybe it's a bad contact......
Praise the sun?
”"Praise the moon?""
Praise Mars?""
Praise Saturn?""
Praise Enceladus?
Praise Arcturus?
Praise Beihe San?
”Vivien's blind experiment was interrupted by a sudden scream from the data terminal, and then a scorching beam of light hit the relief directly from the corner of the fuselage, and it shouted as it sparkled through the slate: "You know, this thing has been here for 10,000 years!"
Do you think that every world's voice-activated switch is as durable as the Empire's made?
”The power of the beam increased as he spoke, and the heavy stone slab was cut like cream, and no one else could stop it.However, it is clear that the terminal took care to scan the structure behind the slate when cutting it, and it followed a strange path to divide the relief in two, and when the two slate fell to the ground, it revealed some intricate runes and fine crystals embedded in a metal cast substrate, which looked mysterious and primitive.The data terminal emits a blue light, scanning the connections between these ancient magical symbols, while emitting small electric sparks to stimulate the tarnished crystals: "This unit should be able to give it an initial signal......
If the buried part of the ground could last a little longer than this thing, the whole system might actually start. ”A steady stream of electric sparks struck the ancient symbols, and Duncan saw this and whispered to Kassandra, "That's how I watched the car stealing agents in the movies." ”"Well, it's pretty much the same for those who steal motorcycles."
After hearing this, Hethiana couldn't help but mutter: "But I can't understand that TM opens the ancient ruins and fires like this......"
Just when the three of them muttered, the "car stealing technique" on the data terminal really worked.I saw that those ancient runes suddenly brightened, and then a low rumbling sound came from the inside of the pyramid, the sound went from low to high, and finally the whole ground began to shake!
