Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
General Liu's eyes widened in surprise: "The Tromur people fuse the souls of their ancestors into the alchemy beasts? Isn't this a bully to destroy the ancestors and forget the ancestors, it's too unfilial"
General Ju smiled bitterly: "The master just said that the Tromur people do not have the custom of sacrificing their ancestors, which may not be a big deal in their opinion......
General Grass said lightly: "The alchemy beast is a symbol of wealth, so the machine spirit must not be cheap, anyway, everyone is dead, and it is also a good choice to leave your soul to your children and grandchildren as an inheritance." ”
Her words were a bit "waste-based", and the two sisters were speechless for a moment, but they didn't argue with her.
Yin Jian is also not strange, the three women have different personalities, General Ju is enthusiastic and impulsive and has a great sense of justice, General Liu is gentle and delicate and compassionate, but General Cao is born with an unruly and indifferent temper, speaks straightforwardly and never considers the mood of others, but can always hit the nail on the head.
This time, let her say, the Tromurians are pragmatists, and they don't think that refining their parents' souls into the "alchemy beast" is blaspheming the ancestors, but feel that the ancestors come back to life with the activated "alchemy beast", symbolizing the immortality of the soul.
They also didn't feel that it was a big sacrifice to leave their souls as an inheritance to their children and grandchildren after their death, so they felt very honored to treat the "Alchemy Beast" as their "coffin", and still be able to bring wealth to their children and grandchildren after death, and even fight to protect their future generations.
"As long as it is useful, it is good", this is the principle followed by the Tromol people.
Because of this tradition, the Tromulians were almost exclusively atheists, and in their thousands of years of rise and fall there has never been a climate-like religion. They have no interest in the afterlife or heaven, and are keen to explore the mysteries of the objective world, more like a group of scientists than warlocks.
Yin Jian turned the "soul bottle" in his hand upside down, and there was a special emblem at the bottom of the bottle, faintly overflowing with spiritual light.
"This is the family crest of the deceased, but also a kind of anti-counterfeiting mark, only his own descendants can use this family crest and a drop of blood to unlock the seal of the bottle, release the soul to make a contract, if not their own descendants, the soul will not obey the other party's command, so as to avoid people to fight for the soul bottle caused by disputes, just like in modern society people with passbooks or credit cards to the bank to withdraw money, there must always be a procedure for entering the password, and this cemetery is the Tromol people's soul bank,."
General Liu's face showed a look of enlightenment when he heard this, and he hurriedly put down the soul bottle in his hand, so as not to disturb the souls in the bottle.
Yin Jian didn't have as much fear as her, anyway, the Tromur people themselves were keen on studying souls, and never cared about ghosts and gods, and now that he studied these soul bottles, he couldn't desecrate the souls of the dead.
He also heard Old Man Bartman accidentally mention that these "soul bottles" could be reused, so he took an empty bottle in his hand, released the "Heluo Heavenly Technique" to peel off the runes on it one by one, and analyzed them with the Great Yan Divine Technique. Don't look at the appearance of these soul bottles, but the internal structure is extremely exquisite, like a simple version of the "Demon Refining Pot", so it can store the spirit of the instrument.
Even in the cultivation world, the demon refining pot is also a very rare magic weapon, except for the Five Elements Sect, Yin Jian has never heard of other sects having this inheritance, and he can't help but be shocked by the alchemy civilization of the Tromur people.
When Yin Jian was studying the "Soul Bottle", General Ju walked along the road around the cemetery when he had nothing to do, straightened the fallen soul bottles, and sent them back to the tomb. Inadvertently, some soul bottles were obviously unopened, but the weight was as light as an empty bottle, and he asked Yin Jian what was going on with curiosity.
Yin Jian released the Great Yan Divine Technique and swept the bottle, and the result was "an empty bottle of soul escape".
"Not unblocked, but escaped?" Yin Jian frowned, "It's strange, normally the soul sealed in the bottle is not so easy to escape......"
At this time, General Grass also raised a question: "Master, if the souls of the Tromur people are either integrated into the alchemy beast or stored in the cemetery, where do those wandering ghosts in the ruins come from?" ”
When Yin Jian heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly waved his hand and released the Great Yan Divine Technique to scan the entire cemetery.
Sure enough, the appraisal report showed that the "Spirit Gathering Array" under this cemetery had been destroyed, so it was no wonder that some souls escaped from the soul bottle and became "Earth Bound Spirits".
The Tromur people's "Spirit Gathering Array" is based on alchemy runes as the core structure, Yin Jian currently only parses two alchemy runes from the soul bottle, and cannot repair them as they are.
In this way, the ancestors of the Tromur tribe will be able to sleep peacefully in the tombs, and the gloom that has hung over the abandoned royal capital of Mandalia will dissipate and gradually regain their vitality.
Located on the seashore and subject to the sea breeze all year round, the word "Mandalia" means "capital of winds" in ancient Tromul. One of the most important reasons why the ancient Tromur people chose to build their capital here was to take advantage of the abundant tidal and wind energy resources.
Most of the tall towers in the city are equipped with windmills, which can easily use wind energy to drive various alchemy machinery.
Nowadays, most of the alchemy towers in the city were destroyed by the war, coupled with the accumulation of yin qi blocking the sea breeze, there is no longer the grand occasion of windmills whirring and turning all over the city, and only a few intact windmills are still preserved in an open area not far from the royal capital cemetery.
This area was once the handicraft area of Mandalia, the royal capital. Most of the blacksmith shops, mills, wineries and other shops are located in this neighborhood, and many windmills have been built around it to facilitate the centralized energy supply.
From the perspective of Yin Jian, a modern person, these windmills are reasonably designed and exquisitely arranged, and they are not inferior to modern wind energy farms.
The handicraft area does not need as many alchemy towers, so the construction of the windmill is relatively simple. Three wrist-thick steel beams are welded up at one end, and the other end is fixed on the ground in an equilateral triangle, and there are steel beams about one foot apart between the two steel beams, which play the role of reinforcing the structure, and also act as a ladder to facilitate maintenance personnel to go up and down.
The metal frame is about 60 meters high, and there is a huge wind wheel on the top of it, and dozens of paddles are whirring and rotating under the sea breeze, and the blades are as sharp as knives, and the cutting air flows out with a swishing sound.
At the top of the windmill is a spear-like metal rod with very sharp ends, reflecting a palpitating cold glow in the sunlight. Yin Jian guessed that it was either a lightning rod or a flagpole used to hang the national flag or a store under the guise of a store.
Based on the remains of the windmills left at the site, it is not difficult to estimate that the handicraft area of Mandalia had more than 1,000 windmills in its heyday.
To this day, most of the windmills have been destroyed by the war and the merciless times, and only one tunnel dug into the rock wall still has four windmills in normal operation outside the gate, like four steel guards guarding the gate.
Yin Jian had to suspect that these four windmills were rebuilt by the Tromolians after the destruction of the royal capital, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why these four windmills were the only ones as clean as new, without even a trace of rust.
