Enjoy the world

Although he was mentally prepared, Hua Zhenxing was still shocked and speechless. Ding Qi patted him: "The so-called opening of the portal is actually only for the moment of entry and exit. Others are not allowed to see it. It is my intention to open the portal for you like this. Let's go in quickly."

Hua Zhenxing foolishly followed Ding Qi into the secret realm. He subconsciously turned around and saw that the passage between the giant rocks had disappeared. All he saw was a rock wall, and where the "door" should have been, there was another gold-inlaid picture. mural.

The mountain walls in this area have been flattened, and there is a flat surface about ten meters wide in the middle, extending diagonally on both sides. The content of the mural in the middle is two huge rocks, which are the patterns of the Shenyin Gate outside the secret realm.

Hua Zhenxing calmed down and said, "Where is this place?"

Ding Qi looked into the distance and said, "It should be the legendary Kingdom of Gods. It's my first time here too."

Hua Zhenxing: "Who is kneeling here? Why did he die here? Where are the others?"

Ding Qi sighed and said: "This person died roughly fifty years ago, and no one else has seen it yet. Don't ask me first, let's take a look together. This place is very big, and it may take a long time to walk around."

Old Man Yang, who was watching from a distance, frowned and said, "I can't sense Xiaohua at all, what about you?"

Ke Mengchao asked something unexpected: "Is this Teacher Xiao Ding really here for the first time? He went in so easily, as if he were at his own home, and he also brought Xiao Hua in. He is not a descendant of the secret realm here, let alone a secret realm. Master, this skill is quite impressive!"

Mo Shangtong: "As things evolve, future generations always have things that their predecessors cannot do, and they have specializations in their professions. The more the times progress, the more so. At least in this aspect, that teacher Xiao Ding is older than the three of us. The guys are all strong, this is their profession, and it is a profession that has never existed before. It’s not like some people who stick to their word and follow the laws of the late king."

Yang Tehong: "Why bother some people? Just say Xiao Meng."

Ke Mengchao: "What year and month did this happen? You can't chew it off anymore?"

Mo Shangtong asked, "So, you yourself admitted that you were farting?"

Yang Tehong put her hands on her hands and smiled: "This is an interesting question, a typical Mo debate style!"

Ke Mengchao turned sideways and said: "The descendants can do what the predecessors couldn't, of course! The descendants will definitely be able to do what the predecessors couldn't, otherwise! If you just scratch my sore feet with the words 'Follow the laws of the ancestors', then what are you going to do?" What if you don’t say anything else?

The way of a university lies in the enlightenment of virtue, in the new people, and in the pursuit of perfection! It is new every day, and it is new every day. Become a new people. Although the Zhou Dynasty was an old state, its destiny was restored, so a gentleman will do everything possible... Can't you hear this?

As small as a family or as large as a state or a country, as far as you and I can see, they flourish and then decline, or even decline before they flourish. Those who have long since disappeared are like the crucian carp crossing the river, let alone one person? Therefore, we cannot assert that future generations will definitely defeat their predecessors, but we must think more about how future generations can surpass their predecessors.

If we talk about facts, examples are right before our eyes. This is the so-called Kingdom of God. Where are the people in it today? Even if I farted back then, I still had a specific reference! And you, if you catch a fart, you can’t chew it. Do you only know how to smell farts? "

Yang Tehong interjected: "Old Mo, you pressed Xiao Meng's switch, and he turned on the sex mode... Why are we standing here arguing? Why are we here?"

Ke Mengchao: "Who am I? I'm really unreasonable! We're here for Xiaohua. Let's just say that Xiaohua's dream, if you dream it but don't realize it, it's just a dream."

Mo Shangtong didn't get angry even after being scolded for a long time, and still said calmly: "That's right, you can't behave like a gentleman who talks but doesn't take action. Just talking and talking is not a real skill, it's all about practicing it. ."

Ke Mengchao: "If you don't learn the lessons of your predecessors, you will go the wrong way and go further."

Yang Tehong said in the tone of a leader summarizing: "So don't worry about the predecessors and descendants here. I think we must follow the natural way. If you go against the grain, you will be ruined."

The three old men quarreling like this is a scene Hua Zhenxing has been used to seeing since he was a child. Not to mention how they bickered outside, Hua Zhenxing followed Ding Qi into the secret realm. This secret realm, or the Kingdom of God, is indeed not small. It is generally olive-shaped, more than 40 kilometers long from east to west, and nearly 30 kilometers wide from south to north. The total area is approximately one thousand square kilometers.

It is completely different from the tribal legends outside. Forget about Wakanda, this is simply a dead world. The so-called dead silence is not the complete absence of sound, but a feeling. The air here is very fresh, there is a gentle breeze blowing in the wilderness, and the vegetation is not as desolate as outside, but there is not a single person to be seen, and walking in it makes me feel hairy for some reason.

The portal was located near the easternmost end of the secret realm. They walked down the altar-like platform, passed through the square and valley in front of the platform, and first arrived at the hillside where there were buildings.

Most of the buildings on this hillside are made of stones, and the indigenous residents outside rarely use stones to build houses. These stone houses are either square or round, and have sloped roofs. As for the roof, it is basically made of straw curtains laid on wooden beams and wooden boards. Now it is basically decayed, but traces can still be seen.

There is a saying about the durability of wooden components: dry for a thousand years, wet for ten thousand years, and neither dry nor wet for a few years. If the wood is completely soaked in water, it is actually very difficult to decay and may even gradually turn into water-sinked wood. Dry wood can be stored for a long time if it is not eaten by insects. The biggest fear of wood is repeated exposure to moisture coupled with insect and moss corrosion, which will quickly lead to decay.

It had obviously rained here too, the roofs had no tiles to keep out the water, and the grass and tree structures had long since collapsed. There are no people or corpses in these buildings, but many daily furnishings and utensils are left behind. Hua Zhenxing found no fired bricks among the building materials, but found pottery among the leftover vessels, many of which were painted pottery.

The utensils here are made of wood, stone, bone, horn, pottery, and there are actually a large number of gold utensils, all of which are beautifully crafted. The legendary Kingdom of God is filled with gold, and this is true. But Hua Zhenxing found no ironware, not even bronze.

After walking around the building complex, Hua Zhenxing muttered: "When was this a relic from the Stone Age?"

On the gentle slope below the building complex, there are some neatly piled rubble piles, half hidden among the grass. Ding Qi stopped and said: "To be more precise, it is the pottery and golden age. This building is not too big." It’s ancient, roughly dating back hundreds of years. Let me test you, what can you tell?”

As expected of a teacher, Ding Qi actually asked a question on the spot. Hua Zhenxing looked back at this dilapidated and abandoned building, scratched the back of his head and said: "This building complex is not small. It feels like a lot of people lived in it during its heyday. Some houses are very spacious and look relatively comfortable. The utensils are also exquisite, but the small house next to it is much simpler.

It is likely that some nobles once lived here, with their servants serving them. But later this place declined, and the number of residents became fewer and fewer until they became extinct. Such houses, especially the roofs, need to be maintained, and the degree of preservation varies greatly, indicating that some houses have been uninhabited for a long time, while others were abandoned at the end. "

Ding Qi smiled: "Your observation skills are okay, so where are the people here?"

Hua Zhenxing: "They should all be gone. The population is getting smaller and smaller, until it becomes extinct..." At this point, he shuddered inexplicably and felt that there was a sense of eeriness in the breeze.

Ding Qi: "The predecessors may no longer be there, or even the tombs may not be found, but what about the last group of people who passed away? Where are they?"

Hua Zhenxing was suddenly startled. He pointed at the piles of rubble among the grass and said, "They, they are right here!"

Ding Qi nodded and said: "Yes, the last group of people are buried here, but there is always the last person who is not buried. Where is he?"

Hua Zhenxing: "That's the person kneeling in front of the exit of the secret realm! He was the only one left here at the end. He wanted to get out but couldn't!"

Ding Qi looked at the hillside and said, "Let's go and look elsewhere."

After climbing over this hillside, there is a relatively high valley plain ahead. Looking at the flat shape of the land, some places seem to be the remains of farmland, and there are also several abandoned villages. The stone houses just now were very primitive in Hua Zhenxing's eyes, but compared with these village buildings, they were simply luxury houses.

The abandoned village buildings are the simplest ones with earthen walls and thatched roofs. A hole in the earthen wall is used as a door. There is not even a door panel. It is either decayed or there was none originally. The artifacts left in the village are mostly made of stone, few pottery, and many wooden artifacts. Surprisingly, there are also a lot of gold artifacts scattered here.

The gold is real gold, but it's not as refined as what I saw just now, and it doesn't look too pure. What kind of place is this, where even the lowest level residents use gold as their weapon?

The two of them climbed another hill, looked across the field at the foot of the hill, and saw the outline of a city in the distance. It cannot be described by the concept of a modern city. If you have to compare it, it is like a larger village or town, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people. The stone building complex they saw when they first came in can accommodate up to several hundred people.

Walking through the wilderness towards the city, no large animals were found in this dead world, and there were no birds flying in the sky. There were only some insects, scorpions, voles and lizards on the ground. The half-foot-long lizard seemed to be the largest species here. .

None of these animals have horns, and I don’t know where the horny artifacts here came from, or perhaps there were once large mammals with horns, but they later became extinct... Hua Zhenxing guessed this as he walked.

The buildings on the outskirts of the city have been extremely ruined, similar to those in the villages. The closer you go to the center, the more exquisitely built the houses are and the better preserved they are. Many of them still have stone foundations, and various Japanese relics left inside. The utensils are also more exquisite...

They finally came to the center of the city, where there was a stone wall surrounding a group of buildings, and outside the wall there was a circle of tall and lush trees.

Ding Qi said: "Xiaohua, have you noticed? We didn't see big trees along the way. According to my observation, at least we didn't see any trees over fifty years old. It should be that those trees were removed in order to obtain wood. All the big trees have been cut down. But no one has cut down the trees outside the wall, which shows that this place is very special, maybe it was an area like the royal palace in the past."

Hua Zhenxing gave him a hand: "Teacher Ding, don't forget to come closer, these trees are poisonous!"

These trees grow very tall. The highest point of the tree crown is visually estimated to be fifteen or six meters. The hanging branches that are dragged to the ground and the horizontal branches that grow lower are intertwined with each other. It is so dense that there is no loophole to find. There are sharp thorns on the branches, and there are light white hairs on the olive-shaped leaves, and there are green fruits shaped like crabapples hanging on them, which seem to form another natural barrier outside the courtyard wall.

Looking at the piles of dead branches and leaves under the trees, there are also many rotten or semi-rotten fallen fruits, exuding a fermented smell similar to fruit wine. Ding Qi frowned slightly and said: "The smell is wrong, it seems to have a poisonous burning effect. What kind of tree is this?"

Hua Zhenxing: "The local people outside call it the thorn-throat tree. Even if the white hairs on the leaves are scratched on the skin, it will burn unbearably, just like being burned. If it is pricked by the sharp thorns on the branches, it will be poisonous. It’s more serious, so be sure not to be stained by its juice. If you swallow the fruit by mistake, you will die. Fortunately, it is only a biological toxin, which can be decomposed naturally and will not pollute the environment. Just stay away and you will be fine.”

Ding Qi snorted and said, "Planting it here should have a protective effect."

The stone wall is easy to climb over. Looking at other local buildings, there are no anti-theft or security facilities. It seems that there is no such concept. If there is a "royal palace" within the wall, it must at least be different from other places, so this circle of thorn-throat trees is equivalent to the "royal guard".

At this moment, Hua Zhenxing was suddenly startled, as if he heard the "system" prompt in his mind again.
