C516 Underground City
C516 Underground City
"Oh my god …" "What is this?"
Her tone of voice was shocked, but at the same time, it was filled with excitement!
When the stone door opened, the first thing that entered their sight was a majestic city gate. The city gate was about three meters tall and was entirely made of a mountain-like stone! Although it is a city gate, there is no real gate, only doorposts and doorposts. Due to the age of the door plaque, it is impossible to read the words written on it, but in reality... Even if it hadn't been eroded, they still wouldn't be able to understand it, because it was written in Tibetan.
"Perhaps... The name of the city is carved there! "
Faang Cheng silently pondered in his heart.
But when they regained their senses and looked towards the inside of the gate, the scene caused Faang Cheng and the other two to be even more shocked! It turned out that this was actually an underground city, an enormous city made entirely out of stone. It was a magnificent yet deathly silent underground city with a clear stream running through it!
"This is …" Underground city? "
Soong Jiaqi couldn't help but take a step forward.
"I've never seen a real underground city before!"
As she said that, she wanted to enter the underground city, but was pulled back by Faang Cheng! They don't know much about this underground city, and it seems like this ancient city has a long history. Since it has a long history … So, in the history of this underground city, the most popular hidden mechanism weapons still needed to be careful.
"Be careful, this is our first time in this underground city, so we can't let our guard down at all. If there's any traps inside, we might really have to explain it to them!"
Although Faang Cheng knew that he wouldn't do anything, he still had to remind Soong Jiaqi. Otherwise, if the little girl ever got excited and wanted to touch and touch him, they really might not be able to leave.
"Then... What do we do? Wait here? This place, which has no store in the back of the village, is too eye-catching! "
After Soong Jiaqi heard this, she agreed but could not think of any good methods. Her expression started to become serious, and it seemed that she was really starting to worry.
"Come, do not be so worried, I am only informing you of the worst possibility! We still have a high chance of winning and going out! "
This could be considered as a slap on the face of Faang Cheng.
"Really?"
Soong Jiaqi's voice started to tremble a little. After all, she was just a little girl.
"En, as long as you listen to me and don't run or touch randomly, you will be able to leave safely!"
Faang Cheng remained serious.
"Then... "Fine, I won't run around or jump around, I'll just obediently follow by your side …"
Soong Jiaqi stood behind Faang Cheng obediently, her two hands grabbing onto his sleeves, looking extremely pitiful and touching. Faang Cheng's heart softened, but she was not able to scare her.
"Alright, then …" Let's go! "Follow me closely …"
Faang Cheng did not care about her grabbing onto his clothes. He knew that this way, Soong Jiaqi could feel more at ease!
Faang Cheng and Soong Jiaqi stepped into this huge underground city. The interior of the mountain had been completely emptied, as if there was a huge net trapped inside the underground city. Moreover, the underground city seemed to be of an extraordinarily large scale, and he associated this with the situation. If this place was still in its heyday, when the people of the Li Clan were living and learning here, it would definitely be a particularly spectacular and exciting scene!
Faang Cheng carefully looked at the houses in the underground city. Only then did he realize that the houses inside were made of mountain rocks, and their shapes were strange and arranged in a very different order. In the city, there were not only houses on the ground, there were even stone houses lined up along the mountain walls. Those stone houses were evenly distributed on the mountain walls, as if they were one with the mountain walls, as if they were inseparable, or perhaps it could be said that … These stone houses were carved from the walls of the mountain!
The tallest stone house on the mountain face was at least a few hundred meters away from the ground. Furthermore, along with the increase in height, the size and luxury of the stone house gradually increased. In ancient China, there was always a difference in status, and the higher one was, the higher they were, the more respected they would be. The highest position must be occupied by a person of great authority. Then, the people living in the stone houses on the mountain walls must be even more noble than the people living in the stone houses on the ground of the city! However … If there were people living there, how did they get up there?
"Faang Cheng, I have already seen it. There aren't even any steps to the house on the mountain wall, how can I go up?"
Soong Jiaqi was also confused when she returned after checking it.
"Perhaps... "Where are the people?"
Faang Cheng also uncertainly walked towards the city!
The construction of the underground city was very regular. The houses were built along the edges of the square city, and they were moving in circles towards the center of the city! Faang Cheng and Soong Jiaqi walked for about twenty minutes before they reached the center of the underground city, a very large courtyard! This was the largest stone house on the ground that Faang Cheng had ever seen. It looked somewhat similar to the yamen of an ancient city. There was also a carved door post at the entrance, which signified the height of one's status!
As the two of them stepped into the courtyard, it was deathly silent. A thick layer of dust covered the ground. When they walked up, their footsteps could be clearly seen! Soong Jiaqi hid behind Faang Cheng and observed him carefully for a good while. Only after discovering that there really was no danger did she muster up the courage to let go of Faang Cheng. She checked all around him and after a while, she completely let go of his hand!
"Faang Cheng, look, there's actually a stone mill here! It's obvious that ordinary people are living here!"
She pointed to a stone grinder placed in the corner of the yard and said with slight excitement,
"I think... There might really have been someone living here! Perhaps many years ago, the climate here began to change, from an environment that was originally suitable for human survival becoming colder and colder, so the people living here had no choice but to find other means of survival! "
Soong Jiaqi carefully analyzed.
"But …" Instead of working so hard to carve up mountains, why didn't they just choose to leave this place and move to another place? Isn't that much more convenient and safer than digging through this incomparably hard mountain? "
Faang Cheng raised his own question, which overturned Soong Jiaqi's question.
"This... "Maybe they don't want to leave their homeland?"
She spoke while looking at the things in the yard. Suddenly, she shouted towards Faang Cheng excitedly.
"Faang Cheng, look, there's a drawing on the wall..."
Hearing that, Faang Cheng rushed over, and saw that on the stone wall of the courtyard, there was a series of inscriptions. He could not help but get closer, and carefully read the contents of the painting, but when he looked at it … His expression became even more serious. Even Soong Jiaqi, who was at the side, restrained his expression after seeing these stone inscriptions.
"This... What is it? Yes … Is it a god? "
She said in a daze!
