Chapter 478 The Ancient Kingdom of Loulan
Four floors!

God, it's only the second floor and it's so powerful. If it reaches the fourth floor, how terrifying would it be?
And this second layer is just a bud, not in full bloom.

It is completely predictable that once the second layer begins to bloom, the power of the lotus platform will gradually increase, reaching a terrifying level.

“四层？！”

"Is this going to burn the world?"

"Do you want to be so exaggerated?"

"..."

A few people were surprised when they heard it.

"It's not an exaggeration at all." The fat man shook his head, and said, "Every kind of strange fire has a spirit, and it will gradually take on the form of the evolution of pseudo-life."

"Personal life?" I heard a little vaguely, and I was at a loss.

The fat man explained: "For example, this raging fire is obviously not an ordinary fire, but a different kind of fire. Under the circumstances of chance and coincidence, it will evolve into a form similar to life; like this, its essence is fire, not fire. lotus."

I nodded, somewhat half-understood, but I could hear everything.

"In principle, the different fire is like life, and its evolution is endless. Generally speaking, it will evolve into a plant form at first, then an animal form, and even a human form." The fat man said again.

I was shocked when I heard this, could this fire lotus turn into an animal, or even a human?This must be an evolution that can only exist in the age of mythology. It is far beyond my imagination, and it is too amazing.It was an era that could never be imagined in the Dharma-ending era.

Afterwards we chatted for a few more words, and the topic gradually shifted to this trip to the vast sea and desert.

After Sai Yuer and I arrived here, he left with the members of the Southern Fahui.

The Demon King of the Vast Sea returns to the sea, and the task of chasing him is naturally over. No one can say for sure what will happen in the next treasure hunting scene.

Undoubtedly, the Southern French Association will naturally have some arrangements, but I am no longer suitable to participate. That Chen Xiongfei has some small suspicions against me because of his grandfather; Sai Yuer also invited me, but I declined.

"This ghost desert, I haven't officially entered yet, it's so hot, the sky is wide and the land is wide, where are you going?" Cao Nan asked with a frown as he squinted his eyes at the endless yellow sand world in the distance. road.

"Naturally, it is impossible for the Demon King of the Hanhai to live in the yellow sand. It is said that its headquarters is an ancient temple." God. That ancient temple was built for it."

"Building temples for ghosts, isn't that worshiping ghosts?" My heart skipped a beat. People can worship heaven and earth, but they can't worship ghosts. If they violate the contract between humans and ghosts, they will be punished by heaven.

"What you are talking about is the age of the end of the Dharma. In the age of mythology or when the tide of the end of the Dharma occurs, ghosts can also be worshipped. The so-called ghosts and gods refer to this. Ghosts and gods are actually one. God is omnipotent, and ghosts can also worship. Almost, for worshipers, there is no essential difference between the two. In fact, in the age of mythology, ghosts can also become gods." Hu Lai said again.

I was stunned, then nodded, and asked again: "Then who is worshiping the ghost king of Hanhai as a god?"

"I know this, it's an ancient country full of legends." Huang Mao smiled, and said, "Loulan."

I raised my eyebrows, and it turned out to be the legendary ancient country of Loulan.

It was a very small and powerful ancient country, built on the yellow sand oasis, it was an important trade transfer station on the ancient Silk Road, and it was once extremely prosperous.

It rose in the Han Dynasty and died in the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Changling, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, has a poem: Qinghai has long clouds and dark snow mountains, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass in the distance.The yellow sand wears the golden armor in a hundred battles, and it will not return until it breaks Loulan.

Although Loulan is small, it dared to fight against the powerful Han and Tang dynasties, and it was established for nearly 800 years, outliving both the Tang and Han dynasties.

It's small, mysterious, and powerful.

I never expected that this ancient country would worship ghosts; but when I think about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing strange about it. Ancient small countries worshiped the moon and worshiped ghosts endlessly.Not only Loulan, but also Ancient Yue Kingdom, Yelang Kingdom, etc. This is not the Western Region, it is in the hinterland of the Eastern Land, which is now the area south of the Yangtze River.

In addition, there is also the Da Yuezhi who was sent to the Western Regions by Zhang Qian in history, which is also an ancient country that worships the moon and ghosts.

"Worshiping ghosts is actually a gesture of submission." Huang Mao said, adding: "Slowly, submission turns into worship. As time goes by, after people get used to it, it doesn't matter what they worship. Ghosts and gods don’t bring disasters.”

I nodded. Worshiping ghosts is different from worshiping gods.

God is merciful to the world and spreads blessings widely. People worship it mostly for blessing and blessing, but worshiping ghosts is often more sad. Just praying that ghosts will not bring disasters is essentially a compromise of last resort.

It's just that gods have long disappeared in the Dharma-ending era, but ghosts do exist, which is also the root cause of ghosts being able to live in temples.

Of course, these are for those small countries, and the great dynasties in the east do not exist, because this land has outstanding people, great talents, and Taoism and Buddhism.

Not to mention living in a high temple, you will be expelled even if you go deep into the east, because all dynasties have legal institutions similar to the Zongcai that rely on the government. The Qin Dynasty was called Heimuya, the Han Dynasty was called Xiuyi Pavilion, and the Tang Dynasty was called Xiuyi Pavilion. It was called bad people in the dynasty, it was called six doors in the Ming dynasty, and it is called the Zongcai office now.

Although they have different names, their general functions are the same, to prevent ghosts and evil spirits from stealing the court and making government orders indiscriminately, thereby causing harm to the common people.This is also a microcosm of the struggle between humans and ghosts. Each has its own territory. The hinterland of the Eastern Land is not allowed to have too powerful ghost kings or ghost groups.

They can only be entrenched in places far away from the hinterland of the East, such as Beiyuan, Nanyang, and the Western Regions.

"After Loulan destroyed the country, that ancient temple sank under the vast yellow sand and disappeared." Huang Maodao said, "If you can find that ancient temple, you will probably be able to find it collected by the Demon King of the Vast Ocean." and treasures that have been preserved for thousands of years."

"Buried under the yellow sand, isn't it still not found?" Cao Nan spread his hands.

Huang Mao rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "Nonsense, if we still need to find it on the ground, wouldn't we just use satellites?"

"Are you sure?" I looked at Hu Lai and Fatty.When it comes to looking for something, if Hu Lai and Fatty are at a loss what to do, then there are not many people to count on.

As a result, both of them shook their heads and said nonsense, "This kind of thing is the specialty of tomb robbers."

I was speechless, grave robber?Isn't that Gong Tianyang?There might have been some drama before, but now...he and Bai Yu wish they could eat us.

What's more, it's useless for me to stay here for the past few days to see Gong Tianyang Bai Yu and others, and I don't know if I didn't stay here and went directly into the vast sea desert, or didn't come at all.

"Hey, besides the tomb robbers, there are people who lead the way." At this time, Huang Mao snapped his fingers and raised the corners of his mouth.

I was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly enlightened.

That's right, the leading party is also fine!

We don't know the exact location of the ancient temple, but the ghosts and ghosts of the Hanhai Demon King know it, and they will arrest one for interrogation.

But soon the question came, where to find the subordinates of the Vast Sea Demon King?I had been chasing and killing him all the way before, and I never thought about this problem, so I didn't catch ghosts. Now it's a bit troublesome.

I posed the question, Huang Mao laughed again, and said, "Do you think the King of Vast Sea Ghost is now buried in the yellow sand like an ostrich, or will he send his subordinates to scout around to determine his advance and retreat?"

"Of course it's the latter. If you don't listen to it and don't ask, isn't it waiting for death?" I said, if the ghost king had such a temper, he would have been cold for countless times.

On the contrary, every ghost king has a mature and well-developed intelligence system; the information they have is far more than people imagined.

Whenever there is trouble, they are the first to react.

Otherwise, the young dragon would not have been targeted by the Hanhai ghost king in Qiannan, and had been chased all the way to Jinpen Township, which can be called a huge chase of tens of thousands of kilometers.

From this, I understood Huang Mao's plan.

Catch ghost spies tonight!

But at the same time, there was a doubt in my mind.Could it be that the Vast Sea Demon King didn't know about this loophole?

My intuition told me that this matter might not go so smoothly.

But then again, it is better to catch the first trial than to wait, otherwise we will have nothing to do.
