The Myriad Realms Trading Beginning with Douluo

Chapter 297
The world of ghosts blowing lights, the sacred mountain of Zagrama.

The pattern of a nine-star crabapple flower on the back of Lin Chen's hand slowly brightened, followed by bursts of soft light.

After the light appeared, the snake venom on Lin Chen's arm slowly flowed out from the wound.

It can be seen from the appearance that it is the effect of the nine-heart crabapple flower.

The fat man touched the back of Lin Chen's hand curiously, and then said: "Lin Chen, what kind of flower is your pattern? It's so magical, it's still bright, and it can also detoxify snake poison."

Shirley Yang at the back saw the flowers on the back of Lin Chen's hand, her eyes lit up involuntarily.

This pattern seems to have the same effect as the cursed pattern of the Ghost Cave Clan.

However, Lin Chen's pattern can detoxify and save people, but the curse pattern of the Ghost Cave Clan is different.

Lin Chen ignored the fat man, but heaved a sigh of relief. No wonder the system ignored him. It turns out that the function of Jiuxin Begonia can still be used.

Lin Chen stretched out his hand and pulled out the snake teeth on his palm.

Just now Hu Bayi shot close to the snake's head. Although the snake's head was smashed to pieces, the snake's fangs were still inserted into Lin Chen's palm.

After pulling out the snake's teeth, the venom was released faster. After a while, not only the snake's venom was drained, but even the wound on the place where the snake was bitten was restored to its original state.

Wipe the sweat off his head, don't blame Lin Chen, Lin Chen has a natural fear of snakes and poisonous insects since he was a child, which cannot be erased.

Taking out a bottle of [-] Shuangwaiwai and taking a sip, Lin Chen said, "Phew, it's a good thing I'm lucky, or else I'd be lying here."

What made Lin Chen speechless was seeing the self-healing ability of Lin Chen's Jiuxin Begonia.

Sa Dipeng circled Lin Chen curiously, and asked Lin Chen from time to time if he was an alien, otherwise how could he have such a magical ability.

Everyone was very interested in what happened to Lin Chen just now, but Lin Chen just kept silent about what happened just now.

Everyone didn't go into it, except Sa Dipeng.

After cleaning the battlefield, everyone boarded the camels again and set off towards the exit of the canyon.

The poisonous snake has been wiped out by Lin Chen, so the camel did not refuse to move forward this time.

When everyone walked out of the canyon, there was a sudden change in front of them, and a splendid city appeared in front of everyone.

There are countless broken walls and ruins, various buildings of brick, wood, earth and stone, and countless towers in the city. The most prominent one is a black stone tower that has been tilted, standing quietly in the city.

Due to the underdeveloped technology, there are interferences from two large magnetic mountains here, which prevents the plane from taking off normally. This is probably the reason why this place has been unknown.

Below the exit of the canyon, Lin Chen and the others set up a camp, leaving An Liman here to guard and manage the camels.

Because An Liman didn't want to go to the ancient city of Jingjue, he said that the ancient city of Jingjue was cursed, and if he entered it, he would not be able to get out.

Lin Chen, Hu Bayi and the others were equipped with an AK-47 harvested earlier, but the others did not, because none of them had much fighting ability, except Shirley Yang.

The distance from the mountain pass to the ancient city is very short, and it takes only one meal to reach the city gate. The city gate has long since collapsed and the trench in front of the city has been filled with yellow sand. We entered the city through the remnants of the city wall. There was a dead silence in the surrounding ruins.

As the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

The legendary Jingjue Ancient City is full of gold, silver and treasures, but when I actually came to the Jingjue Ancient City, I realized that it was a fallacy.

The most valuable place for research in a kingdom is of course the royal palace, but the biggest problem is that this ruin has been eroded by wind and sand, and fine sand is everywhere in the city.

In the end, everyone planned to go to the tallest black tower in the city first, and then they could find the palace by looking down on it.

The base under the pagoda and most of the arched stone gates were buried in the sand. This black pagoda was carved out of large stones from Mount Zagrama. It was six stories high. It was slightly inclined, but it was still very strong.In addition to the rare building materials, there is a black olive-shaped stone ball at the highest point on the top of the tower.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Black Tower, Professor Chen began to study carefully with his glasses on.

After a while, Professor Chen took the lead and stepped into the black tower.

The walls of the tower are densely carved with strange ghost cave inscriptions. There is a black stone statue on each floor, and the first floor is a stone sheep, but there is nothing special about it.The second floor is a stone statue, about the size of an ordinary person, with a high nose and deep eyes, half kneeling in the tower.The third floor turned out to be the stone statue with giant pupils that we saw in the nameless town when we were avoiding the sandstorm.

Sa Dipeng was very interested in the different stone statues of different classes. He looked at Professor Chen and asked, "Professor, what is this tower used for? Why is there a statue on each floor?"

Professor Chen pushed his glasses, and then said: "I speculate that this black tower is used to show the status of the ghost cave clan. The stone statues on each floor represent different levels. The first floor is livestock. If I guess correctly, the underground There should be another floor, where there are hungry ghosts in hell. The second floor is for ordinary people, including all the barbarians in the Western Regions. Their status is only higher than that of cattle and sheep, and they are equivalent to slaves. The third floor is the portrait of this giant pupil , I saw just now that the stone ball on the top of the tower is in the shape of an eye. The stone man with giant pupils and the totem in the shape of the eye represent the worship of the eye by this nation. Let's go up and have a look. What is it?"

After speaking, Professor Chen impatiently climbed towards the upper floor of the tower.

Everyone came to the fourth floor one after another. Originally, everyone guessed that the fourth floor should be the stone statue of the queen, but when they came up, they unexpectedly found that it was not.

The stone statue on the fourth floor has a snake body and a human head, with thick limbs, the hind limbs are in the shape of a beast, the forelimbs are in the shape of a human, holding a sharp sword and shield, and the face is a male face, with a ferocious face and staring eyes. Glaring King Kong, the stone statue also has a black ball on the back of its head, which is the same as the strange snake in Zagrama Mountain.

Professor Chen looked at the stone statue in amazement: "This seems to be the patron saint of the kingdom. There is also a black ball in the shape of an eye on the head. It seems that the ghost cave people really believe that the eyes are the source of all power. The status of the patron saint is still the queen. Under the circumstances, it seems that Queen Jingjue has indeed been deified. Let's go to the fifth floor to see if it is the statue of the queen."

After climbing to the fifth floor, the situation on the fifth floor was even more unexpected.

The fifth floor is empty, not even the base of the stone statue, but there are more cipher texts on the wall.

There was nothing on the fifth floor, so everyone lost their nature and began to climb towards the upper floor again.

The sixth floor is the highest level of the black tower. In the highest tower stands a black throne. On the seat sits a statue of a woman, dressed in gorgeous clothes. Her face is carved like a veil, and her face is invisible. However, it can be seen at a glance that this stone statue is exactly the same as the Jingjue Queen depicted on the murals of Prince Gumo's ancient tomb. This is a full-body stone statue of the Queen.

Except for Lin Chen, everyone wondered why the Jingjue Queen didn't even show her true face in the statue, which made everyone feel very mysterious.

But the fat man is different. The fat man muttered to the side: "In my opinion, this queen is just playing tricks. The number one beauty in the Western Regions is probably an ugly monster. Otherwise, she will hide it so that others will not see it. But still Not to mention, this figure is really good, the plate is not good, and the note is not bad."

Hu Bayi didn't even bother to pay attention to the fat man.This flamboyant, stone statue that has been around for thousands of years has his saying.

Professor Chen has not spoken since he went to the sixth floor of the black tower, and has been connecting these clues in his mind. The stone tower is likely to be a spiritual symbol, with obvious hierarchical characteristics, from high to low, that is, from noble to cheap. The citizens of Jingjue Kingdom are mainly composed of Guidong people. This nationality has long been extinct and has not been unearthed yet. We have not seen any of their remains, so we cannot infer the origin and background of this race. So far, our biggest discovery is that this race uses eyes as totems. This is definitely a major breakthrough in the study of ancient Western civilizations. With this basis, many puzzles that have troubled scholars for many years will be solved."

The fat man asked suspiciously: "Since it's high and low, why is the fifth floor empty?"

Professor Chen pushed his glasses, and then said: "It is the imaginary space, above the patron saint, is an indescribable imaginary space, and the queen is above it, as if she completely controls this unknown space. Tower There is also a totem in the shape of an eye on the top, which means that the queen's power also comes from her eyes."

Hearing what Professor Chen said, the rest of the archaeological team also became worried.

This is simply a monster, no matter how capable they are, they can't do it.

Professor Chen saw that everyone was a little worried, so he continued: "You don't need to be nervous. The ancient rulers mostly used these myths to fool the people so as to consolidate their ruling position. Just like the emperors in the Central Plains, they all said I am the real dragon emperor, and I was appointed by the heavens, but in fact, it is just a means of fooling the people. It is not surprising that the queen never shows her face and pretends to be a ghost. But these monuments are very important for the study of ancient history and culture. It is of great value, and the significance of this stone tower is very great."

Listening to Professor Chen bragging for a long time, Lin Chen felt that he was not interested at all. It was hard to say whether the bragging was true or not.

Finally, Lin Chen looked at Hu Bayao: "Old Hu, what kind of compass of yours, use your half a book of knowledge to find the entrance to the Queen's Mausoleum, and then we will make a lot of money."

From Lin Chen's point of view, the most likely place for the fragments of godhood required by the system in the ghost blowing lamp world is in the ancient city of Jingjue, or in the Longling Grottoes.

Except for these two places, there is no need to run, after all, the system prompts Hu Bayi.

Lin Chen hoped that the fragments could be in this place, so as to avoid the trouble of running around all day.
