Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

Like a natural tacit understanding, the two of them took a short break and continued to set up Aaron and walk along the wall, but the journey ahead seemed more desperate than the empty darkness.

Even if they walked empty-handed, this wall extending to infinity seemed to have no end.

It was so endless that Bai Ning felt as if they were going around in a huge circle.

If this is the case, the garbage they left behind from their previous meal should be regarded as a marking position, and it is impossible for them to miss it while turning around.

Furthermore, according to previous reasoning, there should be some very important facilities near the exit of the tunnel, and they didn't encounter anything.

The only feeling is that this wall is death in the infinite distance.

"Does it really make sense to continue like this?"

A deep sense of fatigue came over again. Jiang Yingxue, who had temporarily stopped to rest, asked this slightly depressed question. It seemed that emotional interference made her sense of worry difficult to contain.

According to the previous reasoning, emotional interference can only be limited to a small area. It is obvious that the management core cannot completely cover such a huge area.

The only explanation could only be that there was a machine that Bai Ning couldn't detect, hovering near them, shrouding a small area of ​​emotional disturbance around them.

Based on the trajectory analysis from the past to the present, there is a high probability that the location of the tracking machine is located on the ceiling here.

With a ceiling hundreds of meters high, shooting blindly with a gun is just trying your luck. It will have no effect at all and will only scare the enemy.

“The definition of meaning is always about outcomes and mindset.

The more tightly the core secret of this ancient ruin is hidden, the more exciting the process of obtaining it becomes.

Remember the members of the Daredevil Society we met on the plane before?

The reason why he went to great lengths to contact us was obviously because the things we decrypted involved soul-related content.

The connection between consciousness, soul, and dreams is complicated and confusing. The Night Stalkers are a group of lunatics who want to seek eternal life in dreams. What they want to know most is these taboo areas that are tempting to commit crimes.

In this ancient ruins, a definite answer will be given to the connection between consciousness and soul. This answer may allow members of the Night Demon Society to understand the secret of eternal life.

Now, do you still feel that our current boring behavior has no meaning? "

Like a way to enlighten Jiang Yingxue's current mood, or like a very boring conversation, this interpretation of the meaning of the adventure does not involve Bai Ning's core purpose of coming here.

Think about the way Bai Ning came to the manor with a crystal core. He was talking eloquently and swearing, and what he was talking about was just the probability of finding this ancient ruins in the Tunguska area.

As for Bai Ning's purpose of coming here, he didn't talk about it at all.

Jiang Yingxue could only understand it as persistence and madness for exploration, or enthusiasm for ancient civilizations, and coveting the wealth and civilizational value within them.

Wealth and fame, which are the goals pursued by ordinary adventurers, seem a bit inappropriate when placed on Bai Ning.

Perhaps what Bai Ning is pursuing is the pleasure of extreme exploration.

The conquest of the ultimate sense of crisis may be what Bai Ning, a crazy person, really cares about.

Only when dancing on the tip of a knife can people like Bai Ning find the meaning of life.

Yes.

What is the meaning of living?

For beings who have gained endless satisfaction from power and wealth, only the topic of immortality can slightly attract a being like Jiang Yingxue.

During Bai Ning's discussion, Jiang Yingxue suddenly began to realize the absolute desire in her heart.

In other words, in the extreme suffering of emotional disturbance, Jiang Yingxue experienced despicable emotional fluctuations that he could not usually experience.

Jiang Yingxue may be touched by all the emotions in the world, but they cannot really interest Jiang Yingxue.

Extreme thinking about the meaning of existence may naturally give rise to a desire for immortality.

Investing in adventures in various exotic places is not just because you are addicted to some strange rumors you have read, and want to find ways to obtain more wealth among some past secrets.

Immortality is a long-lasting topic, almost a subconscious desire of human beings.

All past knowledge about immortality is preserved in various ancient ruins. This may be the fundamental reason why Jiang Yingxue is interested in these expeditions.

After all, he is just a common man who pursues the ultimate happiness in the world. Compared with a madman like Bai Ning who pursues the ultimate spiritual enjoyment, the two are really as different as clouds and mud.

"Who knows.

Some people love money, some enjoy honor, some are greedy for power, and some desire to possess these things forever.

Most common people in the world are nothing more than this. "

Jiang Yingxue stared at Bai Ning and responded lightly.

After thinking clearly about the truest desires in their hearts, some people will face the world more calmly and see the relationship between themselves and the world more clearly.

After resting for a long time, the two continued to move forward. No matter how huge this place is, it cannot be infinitely huge. They will eventually reach the core area of ​​the ancient ruins along the wall.

They didn't know how long they had been walking. Just when the two of them wanted to rest for a while, something different suddenly appeared in the darkness in front of them.

Under the tracing of light, the outlines of various edges and corners become clear. This is a huge building complex. The architectural style is difficult to describe. A huge temple-like building in the middle is shocking, giving people the feeling of looking up at a high mountain. feeling.

When he got closer, Bai Ning discovered that these buildings were actually made of stone. The huge temple building was somewhat similar to the ancient Greek temple, but it was completely different in some details.

A row of huge stone pillars supports the huge dome of the temple, with various gods carved on top. Most of them are incomplete, and it is unclear who the few remaining ones are.

The stone pillars of the temple were intact, but the door looked dark. It seemed that the main structure inside had completely collapsed, leaving only the surrounding walls intact.

Standing in front of this huge group of buildings, the huge gap in proportions made Bai Ning feel insignificant. It even made people feel that the huge open space before was actually just a square here.

In addition to the huge main temple in the center, the other ancillary buildings also have their own characteristics. They seem to be some residential houses and shops, but there are no traces of human existence left in them.

Among the huge building complex, there are also some extremely tall statues distributed among them. Most of the statues are holding Poseidon's Trident, but the faces and overall shapes of the statues are different.

There are even some statues depicting ferocious-looking beasts or monsters with tentacles, which are frightening to look at.

Walking through the streets of this complex of buildings is like being in a magnificent underground mausoleum. The cold feeling is just the norm, and the depressive atmosphere makes everything here feel weird.

"This is not like a living area. There are some decorative items in the house, but there are no dining and sleeping facilities. It feels like some toy houses.

Could it be that the purpose of spending such a large amount of money to build a stone building complex here is just to serve as an underground mausoleum for some important figures? "

Jiang Yingxue walked around and watched Bai Ning looking up at a statue in trance. She expressed her doubts.

If that huge temple was actually a mausoleum, it would be normal for it to be destroyed by later generations.

"According to legend, the capital of the Atlantis civilization was a huge city that resembled concentric circles. Each concentric circle was guarded by a prince. The center of the city was the temple dedicated to Poseidon, the god of the sea, and his wife.

If this was a replica of the city's core, this huge temple would be dedicated to the god of the sea.

However, for what reason was a temple of the highest faith destroyed?

If extreme religious confrontation occurs here, then it is impossible that the person worshiped in this temple is Poseidon, the god of the sea.

There may even be other gods or beliefs that take their place. "

Bai Ning once again glanced at the huge temple that seemed to be right in front of him. He didn't have much interest in this destroyed temple.

What will these mad scientists who isolate themselves in order to study the soul, a group of beings called blasphemers, enshrine in the temple?

To think a little more extreme, if studying the soul represents blasphemy, then to a certain extent, scientists who study the soul are gods.

There are no ancillary buildings near the temple, and the only thing worth exploring is the huge temple.

The two of them carried Aaron and slowly climbed up the steps. The more than 1000 steps were exhausting. As soon as they reached the top of the platform, Jiang Yingxue took advantage of the situation and sat down to rest.

Looking at the low building in front of her that was once again submerged in darkness, Jiang Yingxue also had a rough idea of ​​the grandeur of this temple.

He took another look at the huge stone pillar beside him and felt that even ten people might not be able to encircle it. In such a magnificent temple, what kind of huge sculpture should be enshrined?

Seeing Bai Ning walking towards the entrance of the temple, Jiang Yingxue felt that there was nothing wrong with leaving Aaron here, so she followed him in directly.

A huge doorway tens to hundreds of meters high lay in front of the two of them, giving them a sense of extreme insignificance, as if they had entered the kingdom of giants.

It was pitch dark inside the doorway, and the scene inside could not be seen at all. A strong flashlight kept looking inside, but no ruins were found inside.

This feeling is very strange. The overall impression I had when I looked at it from a distance was that of a ruined temple, with the top collapsed and only the surrounding walls still intact.

But when I was actually inside, I found that the temple was completely empty. Even the dome at the top was no longer visible, just like the top of the cave several hundred meters high outside.
