The Taoist Priest of the Supernatural World

Chapter 354 Eyes
Seeing that the passage had been dug through, Song Feng stepped forward to the dug hole, and then looked inside through the dark hole.

Take a closer look.

I could only see the inside of the cave. Although it was pitch black, I could barely make out that there was a relatively large underground space inside.

In the underground space, there are still some buildings that have not been completely destroyed.

A tall arch bridge hangs inside the cave.

It looks like this big hole underground is like a huge city built in reality.

only.

Compared with the real city, the underground cave seems to contain more murals that depict myths.

However, when seeing the murals, Song Feng acted very calm.

After all, in ancient times, painting was a major way to express history and praise gods.

To put it simply.

Basically, all races or civilizations with a relatively ancient heritage have a history of painting to a greater or lesser extent.

This thing is called a mural.

Some are colorful, some are colorless, and some are simply little figures carved on the wall.

only.

Most of the older races or civilizations have more murals.

Because the more prosperous the civilization, the more detailed its history.

Only those who attach enough importance to history can bring forth new ideas and make civilization more brilliant.

Although there are many ancient countries in this world.

However, when it comes to historical records, perhaps only Kyushu can be passed down from ancient times to the present.

Thousands of years of history are recorded in a small book and passed down for thousands of years, or even forever.

It allows later generations to witness the ancient history of thousands of years ago in a small history book.

This is an extremely profound foundation.

With the path that our predecessors have walked step by step, later generations can choose more directions for exploration as long as they avoid taking the wrong paths.

People who have no historical records can only correct their mistakes bit by bit on their own.

The error correction ability of an individual is very poor.

Or.

When it comes to spiritual practice, various struggles, and various studies, just one mistake is enough to kill a person.

The physical body was destroyed.

No matter how big your ambitions are, they are basically impossible to achieve.

There are many great figures in history, and basically every one of them is capable of causing extremely terrifying impacts on history.

But even for this kind of person.

As long as he dies, everything he has will quickly disappear.

This is called the demise of a regime.

Although there are few records of this in history, it must be said that physically destroying an opponent is much easier than defeating him in all aspects.

If Shao Zhengmao had been powerful enough back then, he would not have been destroyed by the Master at that time.

"...Sir, this is the remains of the Snake Kingdom!"

When he saw the scene depicted in the big hole, David nodded firmly and spoke.

Now that he knew there was something here, he investigated some of the countries that used to be here for a long time.

Although this ancient country that worshipped the snake god was completely buried in the wind and sand thousands of years ago.

However, the history and myths of this ancient country have been passed down to nearby people to some extent.

In order not to disappoint Mr.

He had made a lot of preparations at that time, so he could naturally recognize at a glance that this was an ancient relic of the Snake Kingdom.

In fact, this Snake Country is not called the Snake Country.

Its real name has probably long been lost in history.

The reason why similar myths have been spread is because this country worships giant snakes and believes in snake gods.

It is said that in this snake country, a specific sacrificial ceremony is held every year.

so.

Later generations basically referred to it as the Snake Kingdom, a country that had long since disappeared, with only some myths and legends left.

Of course, there are actually quite a few desert countries like this, which are not very big, like the Snake Kingdom.

Throughout history, there are countless countries that disappeared quietly.

These countries and ethnic groups are centered on oases. As long as the oasis exists, the country is a powerful one. If the oasis disappears, the country will perish in the desert.

Perhaps the reason why the Snake Kingdom left legends nearby is that the people of the Snake Kingdom once fled to other oases and left behind written or oral records.

"Make the hole bigger and create a path big enough for several people to pass through!"

After hearing what Song Feng said, the other staff members also started to work hard.

It only takes a while.

With the busy work of the staff, the big rocks were knocked down one by one, leaving behind a big hole that was big enough for five or six people to pass through.

See this hole forming.

David nodded, and then spoke to the well-equipped mercenaries who were waiting behind him:
"Get your gear ready and go in!"

Following his call, many mercenaries tied ropes around their bodies, and then under the operation of the machine, they continued to fall into the big hole.

High tech is high tech.

At least the speed of transporting people is much faster than a single person holding a rope and lowering it.

It doesn't take a while.

More than a dozen mercenaries went down into the ruins.

The scene looked peaceful.

At this moment, a small shed was built next to the ruins, which was enough to shelter from the wind and rain, and even contained some fruits and snacks.

At this time, Song Feng and David were looking outside through the transparent film on the surface of the shed.

He looks like a boss.

"Sir, I'm afraid we are late this time. The ruins have been here for too long, and it is unlikely that there will be anything useful left."

David knew very well what this relic was like.

The places where ordinary people live, after thousands of years, no matter how well preserved they are, are probably no longer usable.

This time, apart from the possibility of experiencing exotic culture, I guess there will be little to gain.

After hearing what David said, Song Feng ate a grape with a smile, and then spit out the grape seed very naturally:
"The familiar taste of the vineyard seems to taste no different from that of the manor. It's thoughtful."

The seeds in the vineyards in the Southern Manor have all been screened by skilled workers.

These are all the best seeds selected from the best.

Moreover, combined with the terrain and many other advantages of this southern estate, the vineyard was irrigated at a high price.

Every bunch of grapes is worth a lot of money.

Moreover, only the grapes from their southern estates have that unique flavor.

Anyway, he likes it very much.

Although these grapes may have been brought here on a private plane, he still enjoys it.

Now, he can really say that he doesn't care about money anymore.

Because Southern Manor is really rich.

He is really rich beyond anyone's imagination.

This is how the chaebols live.

After eating a few bunches of grapes to comfort his stomach, Song Feng smiled and looked at the ruins in the distance where people were constantly coming in and out:
"Since it is a relic, let's go and take a look at the culture of the Snake Country. The gods worshipped by these foreign cultures are more or less something special."

"Maybe we can get lucky this time and get some really good stuff." While sitting here, Song Feng paused, then continued:
"Of course, it's normal to get nothing at all. Just keep a normal mind. If you can find a relic that can return to the void, you will get something."

Although these gains may not be enough to have any effect on him.

But as he said.

It's actually good to experience the diversity of cultures.

Stayed for a while longer.

The group of mercenaries below, including some members of the expedition team who went in later, checked everything inside and conducted a thorough investigation.

One of the mercenaries, who was wearing a black hood and whose face could not be seen, spoke up:
"Sir, the danger is over."

Hearing what the mercenary said, David nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at Song Feng next to him:

"Sir, shall we go in and take a look?"

At this moment, when the two men arrived next to the big pit, there was already a ladder there, accommodating the staff coming and going.

These staff are all certified.

What’s more, they hold an international certificate issued by the federal government in America.

To some extent.

These people are highly recognized even internationally.

This level of investigators.

That's true, we can send troops to help them.

To be honest.

That is a very valuable one.

In other words.

To some extent.

This is also an investigation that has obtained international approval.

Of course.

No matter how nice it sounds.

In fact, their behavior can be considered as tomb robbing to some extent, and it is also possible to call them tomb robbers.

Take the escalator to the ruins.

The entire ruins looks like an ant castle, with a floating bridge and a stone bridge on it, which look very artistic.

Although there is not a building every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps, the corridors are winding and the eaves are high.

But it can be considered as a mixture of ravines and grooves.

The plank roads are connected.

Relying on some underground terrain, it is also possible to travel between mountains and dangerous rapids.

This is an artistic city.

Among the people doing investigation below, there were some young literary people who were more interested in art, and their eyes widened at this moment.

What blooms in each of their eyes is a pursuit of art and beauty.

"Oh my god, who could have imagined that this was something that the ancients could do thousands of years ago? It's incredible, and it's so beautiful!"

Any random shot of the same scene would be enough to win an international photography award.

It has a kind of historical beauty.

It seemed as if it had gone through time and risen from ruin.

However, no one was taking pictures at the moment. Most of them were just appreciating the scenery and did not really take any real photos.

Living in such a country, they know who their boss is and who they are working for.

And the mercenaries were holding guns.

Especially at this time, the more we should keep a low profile.

After all, there are so many people who die inexplicably every year.

No matter how amazed the scientific expedition team members were or how they explored this place.

Song Feng and David came to one of the places, which looked very ancient and mysterious.

That is an ancient tree.

The whole tree looks very colorful.

Although it is only about ten feet high, with a few branches stretched out, it looks as if it has no branches or leaves.

but.

A magical ancient tree that seems to be made of bronze.

Faintly, it seems that there is green rust appearing from the entire tree, making the entire ancient tree look lush and green.

Take a closer look.

You can even see a long scar on this ancient tree.

Taking a quick look, I thought there was a giant snake coiled on this ancient bronze tree, looking down at everyone.

Under the ancient bronze tree is a stone slab with special patterns drawn on it with a sharp tool.

This slab of stone is whole.

Only winding patterns spread out from the roots of the ancient tree.

Look out along the pattern.

Indistinctly, it seems that the end point of all the patterns is at one of the corners.

There are two gourd-shaped sinks, one above the other.

Eventually, the water sinks in from below.

It was as if it was dripping into a round stone bowl the size of a human head!
See this scene.

A ray of light bloomed in David's eyes:
“…Is this a sacrifice?”

After so many years of contact, when he saw this familiar thing, no matter how stupid he was, he could guess part of the truth.

not to mention.

The location of this ancient bronze tree, including the things engraved on it, is absolutely obvious.

Look at this ancient bronze tree.

Gently stroking it, feeling the extremely smooth touch of the ancient bronze tree, Song Feng looked at the water bowl at the bottom:
"No wonder there is a sacrifice. It seems that the things that are finally sacrificed are more or less useful..."

Compared with the majesty of many righteous gods in Jiuzhou, the inheritance of the immortal sect is secretive and upright.

The gods worshipped by small countries located in border areas or other places are much simpler.

Basically, they are some monsters and demons with strange abilities, or ancient races.

Their characteristics are obvious.

That is, they can use their power to make very significant changes to the country that worships them.

Just like the ancient bronze tree now.

Both sides speculated that the sacrifice was performed using a special method, and the final product of the sacrifice should be of great benefit to the citizens of the Snake Kingdom.

After viewing these ancient bronze trees.

Song Feng turned his gaze towards the crystal stone enshrined on the high altar behind the ancient bronze tree.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a pure white flawless crystal.

More like glass than glass.

Even more transparent than glass.

However, compared to a simple crystal, inside this pure white hexagonal crystal, there is actually an eye that seems to be alive.

Even when Song Feng looked over, that eye actually looked over here subconsciously.

"……Um?"
