Chapter 433: Wanqu
Without the barrier of the wall portal, the cold breath made people can't help but take a half step back.
The painted skins that surrounded not far away, as if they were alarmed by something, quickly moved away one by one and disappeared.
Everyone who had settled down looked towards the door, and their pupils contracted instantly.
Ice...... Crystal clear ice crystals lay out in the stone chamber, and the faint glow of the fire burning on the torches reflected the transparent luster. The ground, the walls, and everywhere they looked, were covered in an object that resembled ice crystals.
"Ice here?" Zhuang Yuliang had a stunned look on his face, he had lived in southern Yunnan for many years, and he had never seen naturally formed ice cubes on flat ground.
The weather here, the temperature here, how could ice form?
What's more, it's such a large area of ice crystallization?
Professor Zhao also stared inside: "It's really wrong, although the temperature of this stone temple is lower than the outside world, but all the way around this stone house is within a fairly normal range, but it has changed all of a sudden when you get here." ”
"The temperature dropped dramatically, and there were ice crystals condensing around the walls...... None of it makes sense. ”
"If this is on a snowy mountain, the altitude is high, but here ......"
He shook his head, his face confused.
"Just go in and see."
Jiang Xian let out a sigh and walked inside first, and as soon as he entered the door, his eyes in front of him were cheerful.
Although the five-meter-wide gate was enough to be opened, it paled in comparison to the size of the inside of the stone chamber.
The emptiness and vastness are the first feeling when entering this place except for the cold, and the crystal ice crystal walls reflect the light, like a mirror, making the space in the field of vision seem to magnify the space for a generation.
Not only that, but when they all entered the door and took two steps, a faint sound came from the stone chamber, and the next moment......
Bright light bloomed in this stone chamber.
The sudden bright light made everyone subconsciously close their eyes, shook their heads before opening them again, squinting at the location of the light source.
At this glance, everyone's breathing stopped.
In the center of the stone chamber, a giant ten meters tall stood, dressed in a coat made of the feathers of huge birds and beasts, with wide eyes and a crown shaped like a snail shell on his head.
In the very center of the crown, a fist-sized bead unleashed a radiant light from above, shining everywhere around.
"Giant...... It's a giant! There is a ten-meter-tall giant in this world! ”
Zhuang Yuliang's breathing was a little short, he and Zhuang Yushan glanced at each other, Du Zai looked at the tall figure in front of him carefully, and his palms trembled slightly: "That's right...... This is not a sculpture, not a statue, a real giant! ”
"It's just a layer of frost on the body, a layer of frost ......"
"Mr. Jiang, why aren't you excited?" Zhuang Yushan calmed down, looked at Jiang Xian and the others next to him with some doubts, and said with a slight change in his face: "Could it be that you already know about the giant?" Know that there are traces of giants here? ”
"That's not wrong if you think so."
Jiang Xian nodded slightly: "Actually, think about it, we have seen that kind of giant ape crane, we have seen many strange lives, and it is normal to have giants, right?" ”
"Where can this be the same?" Zhuang Yuling glared at the side and said: "Those are animals, plants, and insects after all, these are human beings, people with wisdom and thinking!" ”
"If there are giants, it means ......"
"What does it mean?" Ling Xiaozi asked curiously on the side, "Is there any difference?" ”
"It means that there is probably a giant civilization." Zhuang Yuliang glanced at a few people, and then looked carefully at the giant in the ice: "The feathers he wears, covering himself, and the delicate crown on his head all show that there is at least a certain degree of civilization." ”
Jiang Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, slightly surprised, he thought that the Zhuang brothers and sisters only had a little exploration and understanding of which alien beasts and monsters, but in these words, there was also some knowledge of civilization.
It's not like what I thought at the beginning.
"Or underestimate them...... Although they are old people in the last era and are in remote villages, they are still very serious about the acquisition of knowledge they need. ”
Professor Zhao's eyes flashed with an inexplicable color, and he nodded: "You are right, this is a shocking discovery for our archaeological and historical circles, and it is ...... We have indeed seen the bones of giants. ”
"Mr. Jiang, they came to southern Yunnan precisely because there may be traces of giants here."
"I see...... Sure enough......" Zhuang Yushan's expression relaxed slightly, and then his eyes fixed on Jiang Xian: "Mr. Jiang, you should have some speculation about this, right?" Is there any trace of more giants inside? ”
"Quite possibly."
Jiang Xian looked at the giant and said, "Don't you think the image of this giant is a little familiar?" ”
Familiar?
Several people were stunned for a moment, and then looked carefully from top to bottom.
Suddenly, Ling Xiaozi's eyes moved, recalling the giants he had seen with Jiang Xian, the corpses he had seen, if there was anything different......
"Weave the hair of birds and beasts to cover the shape, and crown the snail shell...... I know! He turned his head to look at Jiang Xian, took a deep breath and said, "You mean, this giant is the people of Wanqu?" ”
The people of Wanqu?
The three brothers and sisters of the Zhuang family were stunned, and Professor Zhao next to him suddenly said, "That's right, the people of Wanqu...... The people of Wanqu in the memories! ”
"'There are people who come by spiral. The shape of the boat resembles a snail, sinking to the bottom of the sea, and the water does not invade, the name is "on the wave boat". Its people are ten zhang long, and the lord of the bird is good to cover the form. The first emperor talked to him and said that when the heavens and the earth first opened, it was as if he had seen it himself. ’”
"Although this giant is not as tall as the Qin Dynasty, he has clothes made of birds and beasts, and a crown like a snail shell on his head...... Indeed, they are the only ones who meet. ”
"Notes!?" Zhuang Yushan took a deep breath when he heard this, and the cold breath couldn't stop the heat in his heart: "If the memorial is true, there really is a Wanqu, then their civilization in the Qin Dynasty was already very developed. ”
"It's possible, but it's just speculation."
Jiang Xian looked at the frozen giant, his mind turned, it was rumored that the First Emperor cast the Twelve Golden Men because he had seen the giant. If the rumors are true, it should be another time for him to seek immortality, right?
At present, he has come into contact with all the things that may be immortal, except for the kernel left by Xu Fu...... No, even the pits in the dungeon are likely to be related to giants.
These groups, which are hidden in history and only mentioned in a few strokes, are really like immortals, affecting countless secrets and magic.
"Fortunately, these giants are either like Yunmengze falling into a deep sleep, or they are dead at the foot of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and there are not many activities that can be moved, otherwise ......"
Thinking of the situation in ancient times, if such a giant harnesses a giant beast to come out...... He couldn't help but shudder.
After calming down, Jiang Xian said calmly: "If you want to know more things, you still have to enter the real core." According to the layout of the stone temple, the entrance should be here, so let's take a good look. ”
Several people nodded and turned to look around.
The crystal clear room of ice crystals reflects the brilliant light under the light of the pearl above the giant's head.
The crowd walked to the wall and took a closer look at the surroundings.
Lin Ruoxue was watching, her eyes suddenly shrank, and her whole person's breathing was chaotic for a moment, she waved her hand to greet Jiang Xian: "You come here!" ”
Jiang Xian walked over in a few steps, looked in the direction of his finger, and his eyes shrank.
Behind the thick ice crystals, black shadows clung to the wall, and their unfolded bodies had some red lines on them. There were also two turquoise dots in the upper position, which made him feel familiar at first glance.
"It's ...... Paint the skin! ”
Jiang Xian exhaled cold air: "No wonder those painted skins left far away, in addition to being afraid of the cold, but also because there are large pieces of painted skins frozen here." This is their natural tendency to not approach this place. ”
"It should be." Lin Ruoxue nodded, and looked around carefully: "Maybe this is where the painted skin first grew, and then it was frozen by the people who occupied it, and it became a forbidden place for the painted skin." ”
Jiang Xian took a closer look at the inside of the ice crystal, looked at some strange plants and small insects around the painted skin, and nodded slightly.
"The surname is Jiang, I know how this place came to be so much ice......"
Ling Xiaozi's voice came from not far away, he approached a wall, his hand touched it gently, and then he shivered all over, and exclaimed, "I see...... No wonder it's like this, it's really a lot of effort! ”
"What kind of dumb riddle are you playing?"
Jiang Xian walked over and looked carefully at the wall in front of Ling Xiaozi, his face was also stunned.
Ordinary people may not be able to tell the difference between ice crystals, but his eyesight is so strong that it is easy to spot. Among the ice crystals in front of Ling Xiaozi, there was a transparent crystal, which did not belong to the ice crystal at all!
Its reflection is shattered, like the spirit of water, and the moon is also light, like Kunshan jade......
"It's ...... Chill! ”
"That's right, it's cold, and I just found out." Ling Xiaozi sighed with emotion: "If you guess correctly, here it should be that the cold spirit is embedded in different areas, and then it is watered with ice water to make ice." ”
"In principle, it's similar to saltpeter ice, but it's more efficient and wasteful than that."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Ruoxue and Jiang Xian nodded in unison, how much cold does it take for such a large stone room to be covered with ice!
"The same should be true of the giant, who has a cold spirit in his body when he dies."
Jiang Xian looked around thoughtfully, looked at the giant, and then looked at the wall in front of him: "If they all use the characteristics of cold to make ice, then ...... There should not be much difference in the spacing between the chills. ”
"Ruoxue, you go find the cold spirit in another location."
He turned around, and the structure and layout of the stone chamber came to mind: "If I'm not mistaken, the secret of opening the entrance to the next floor is in the midst of these cold spirits!" ”
