Chapter 598 Power
The power of Johansen's fireball can be seen from the degree of damage around it. The tall trees were scorched, the boulders were smashed to pieces by the flames, the weeds were overgrown, and the rocky mountain was forcefully blasted into a huge crater.
Only the ancient well in the giant pit and the stele were not damaged in any way.
After carefully observing the stele, he found that the stele was empty with no words on it. Li Xiao felt a little strange and stroked it around.
Click...
He touched the bottom of the stele with his hand, and there was a crack on it as if the paint had been peeled off, and a small piece of stone skin fell off.
"This is... bronze?"
Li Xiao was moved. Under the stone skin, it was actually made of bronze. The outside was just a layer of ordinary stone. He inadvertently let it show its true colors.
Bronze ware was very popular in ancient China, especially more than 2,000 years ago and during the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Bronze was an essential item in the life of the ancients. It was often used to make weapons. Li Xiao's hand is also made of bronze.
Curious, Li Xiao slowly peeled off all the stone skins, for fear of damaging the bronze that had been stored for an unknown number of years. In fact, he realized that he was too worried. This monument could not even be smashed by fireball. How could he smash it? Can be easily destroyed.
After a while, the stone skin was completely peeled off by Li Xiao, and the stele revealed its true colors. It was made of bronze from top to bottom. On top of the bronze, there was a picture of a person whose face could not be seen clearly. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, I don’t know what kind of sculpture it was made of. It is lifelike. There is a picture of the Eight Diagrams on the top of the head. Above the picture of the Eight Diagrams, birds and beasts are contending, and flowers and plants are overgrown. The animals and plants are all carved with one stroke. , very mysterious.
The figure below the gossip sits quietly cross-legged, which is obviously a forbidden picture. After Li Xiao opened his perspective eyes, he seemed to see it move. The feet crossed the land and traveled all over the world.
He is like a farmer, but also like an emperor. Every time he walks through a mountain or a piece of land, he will bend down to dig up a spiritual treasure and put it in his mouth to taste.
"Shen Nong tasted all kinds of herbs?"
Li Xiao was shocked. The movement of the person in the picture was very similar to the appearance of Shennong tasting herbs in the legend, but when he looked at it again, he found that the picture was still the original one. It seemed that he hadn't moved at all, and there was no clue.
On the front of the bronze monument are patterns, and on the back are ancient characters. Li Xiao didn't know those words, but when he saw the picture and then looked at the words, his body seemed to resonate, and the light was overflowing, and auras of various colors flowed from him. It fluctuates out of the body, and gathers on the top of its head to form a picture of eight trigrams.
At the same time, as if something had been touched in his mind, a hollow and vicissitudes sounded.
"The formula of longevity, moving from afar, the aura of the heavens and the earth is up to me, anyone in the world can go..."
The voice did not know where it came from, it was empty and vicissitudes, there was a poem in front, and an incomprehensible paragraph in the back, it seemed to be a spell, drawing the aura of his body, flowing like a stream.
The familiar voice echoed in his mind. This is not the first time this happened. As early as in Pujiang, before He Zitian's birthday, when his clairvoyant eyes broke through, Li Xiao still couldn't forget that ancient tone.
Slowly, Li Xiao discovered that it seemed to be a kind of mental method, which could dominate the operation of his aura.
Mr. Du told him that the mental technique is necessary for the ninth level of Qi training to advance to the Divine Sea Realm. The better the mental technique, the wider the world will be in the future. These days, Li Xiao has been thinking about what kind of technique he should use. The mental method, but he didn't expect that there was a mental method in his mind all the time.
On the bronze tablet, the words were beating and imprinted in Li Xiao's mind, making him feel comfortable.
After a long time, the voice disappeared. Li Xiao got up and saw that the bronze tablet still hadn't changed. After a little thought, he moved the bronze tablet directly into Xiaotiandi and stood in front of Fushi Mountain before jumping into the ancient well.
The ancient well was very deep, and Li Xiao didn't see the bottom until he fell for more than a minute. What surprised him was that the ancient well was actually made of bronze, and even the ground at the bottom was made of bronze. The more Li Xiao looked at it, the more shocked he became.
In the distant ancient times, without today's super technology, what kind of effort was needed to build such an ancient well? Could it be that at that time, there were really ascetics who penetrated the heavens and the earth.
Li Xiao believed more and more that Huaxia once had a prosperous age full of geniuses. He walked forward step by step, carefully following the two foreigners a hundred meters away.
After walking for about a thousand meters, finally, Li Xiao saw the exit, which was also a well. After the two foreigners went out, Li Xiao went up against the rock wall.
But as soon as he came out of the well, he was immediately stunned.
What caught my eye was an ancient city, the city was lifeless, and the moat outside the city was choppy, but the water in the river was red, as if dyed with blood, and the top of the city was littered with corpses. With a summoning banner.
The place is dim and dark, the sun is not visible, as if it has entered the night, and the black clouds in the sky sound like muffled thunder from time to time, which is frightening.
Li Xiao was stunned by the scene in front of him. Isn't the scene in front of him the same city that he saw when he was in Emei Zangshu Pavilion? At that time, the two jade pendants with strong Yin Qi merged, and it was such a city standing in the air, even if it was a phantom, Li Xiao felt the wind was blowing.
He widened his eyes, and remembered the bamboo slips he had seen in the Emei Library Pavilion. On the bamboo slips was a simplified version of the map. When he thought about it carefully, the curves outlined on the map were not some of the places he had walked these days?
"Someone must have been here in Emei, who is it...Zi Yan, or the old lunatic who guarded the door." Li Xiao said to himself, all the bamboo slips were covered with dust, but that one was clean. Apparently it's been read a lot.
Shaking his head, Li Xiao hid in the distance and continued to look at the surrounding environment.
The more he looked, the more surprised he was. Outside the city, there was a barren hill with a radius of one kilometer, with no grass growing. In the city, one could vaguely see a series of spacious streets, with pavilions and residences of different heights, full of ancient flavor.
In the deepest part of the city, there is a towering ancient pagoda. The ancient pagoda is surrounded by black clouds and seems to reach directly into the sky. It is not difficult to imagine how prosperous the city was in its heyday.
From the outside of the city, Li Xiao can see only this, and can't see more clearly, because his see-through eyes can't pass through the high city walls, and the yin energy outside the city walls is too strong, making his see-through eyes stiff. to block.
"Those corpses include ancient ones and modern ones, and they haven't rotted for so long..." The corpses on the city made Li Xiao talk to himself in a daze. He looked away and looked at the moat in front of him. , he saw two corpses standing on the other side of the moat. They were dressed in purple robes and blue robes. The appearance of the two corpses made his eyes widen.
"They are... the previous heads of Huashan and Taishan?!"
