Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

"It's just a legend. Tears form rivers... It's impossible no matter how you think about it."

"Maybe this is a special metaphor."

After coming out of Sagazaki City, Adele no longer dared to despise those legends.

No matter how absurd the stories about Taoyuan Village sound, they are not always proven to be true afterwards?Dayan is much older than the Eastern Kingdom, and there are countless gods in history. The legends here cannot be treated simply as legends.

Although the true dragon expelled all the gods in Great Yan back then, it was only an expulsion. Those gods might be living well in some corner of the world, and it is entirely possible for them to return to Great Yan.

Adele's idea is not unreasonable.

"That's true...but is this story only related to the Tianyue Mountains? Is it just mentioned as the background of the story?"

Those native Yanguo people have basically heard these stories. Xuancheng took them from the Ministry of Rites and specially prepared them for these 'foreigners'.

The story Adele just told can only be regarded as barely related to the Tianyue Mountains. The Tianyue Mountains are indeed the birthplace of Xijiang, but this time their exploration basically has nothing to do with Xijiang.

"No, this story is not finished yet," Adele shook her head. "The story later also mentioned an existence called the 'God of the Sky'."

"Xi'e couldn't find any trace of her husband on the top of Tianyue Mountain, and she couldn't stop crying. Her tears flowed down the mountain and fell to the ground to form rivers."

"The rushing river disturbed the gods. After the gods discovered Xi'e, they recommended the God of Heaven and Mountain as the leader of the gods to talk to Xi'e."

"Head of the gods?"

Li Ang suddenly heard an interesting word.

"That should be the meaning..." Adele scratched her cheek and said with some distress, "I don't understand Yanguo very well... I don't know if this interpretation is correct."

Adele's understanding of the Yanguo language basically comes from the indoctrination of the Great Ming Shen, and she is not particularly proficient in it. Moreover, the legends Xuancheng brought were written in the ancient Yanguo language, so she could only learn about them. Keep reading, it's a little difficult to read.

Translating ancient Yanguo into modern Yanguo is indeed a technical job. Sometimes a word contains multiple meanings, and misinterpretation may even affect the understanding of the entire article. Not to mention that in the process of being handed down, these stories are Who knows how many people have added personal items to it, but the modern version has actually changed beyond recognition.

The ones collected by the Ministry of Rites are probably the closest versions to the prototype of the story, but they may be a little difficult to read.

"Let me see."

Li Ang is actually a little unsure, but he should know more than Adele.

"Ah."

Adele handed the book in her hand to Li Ang.

After a brief glance, I found that the grammar of the story is not obscure, and there are not so many uncommon words, so it is not very difficult to read.

This is basically the story of a woman looking for her missing husband. The 'god of the sky' is indeed called the 'head of the gods' in the description.

"You understand correctly, the God of Heaven and Mountain is indeed the head of the gods."

"Head of the Gods...Does this have something to do with the Year Beast?" Adele thought for a while and said.

The Sui Beast is the oldest existence among the gods of the Yan Kingdom. It may not be the strongest, but it is at least one of the top ones. There seems to be no problem in calling him the head of the gods.

But in the story, the God of Tianyue is a "kind god" who sympathizes with Xi'e's experience and gives her advice.

The character of Sui Beast is unruly. If the God of Heaven and Mountain were one of his vests, it would be hard to imagine that he would do such a thing.

"It's possible. Let's go out and ask Jingzhe and them later. They should know more."

With that said, Li Ang continued to look at the rest of the story. After just two sentences, Li Ang's expression became subtle.

"The rest of the legend..."

"Is there something wrong with the rest?" Adele asked doubtfully.

"...I just have an inexplicable sense of sight."

Leon didn't know how to explain it to Adele, so he could only muddle through it vaguely.

The follow-up development of this story called "Xi'e Flying to the Moon" is nothing special. As the head of the gods, the God of Tianyue gave Xi'e such a suggestion - although Tianyue is very high, the height of the two moons is much higher than Tianyue, if you can go up to Shuangyue, you will definitely be able to find your husband's whereabouts.

Xi'e accepted the advice of the God of Heaven and Mountain and asked the gods for help.

After everyone discussed it, they taught Xi'e a way to get to Shuangyue.

What this method is is not recorded in the story. If the story ends here, it is nothing special. It is just slightly similar to a story in Li Ang's memory, but there are also more differences.

But the ending of this story made Li Ang think deeply.

Xi'e accepted the help of the gods, and one night, a fiery and bright track suddenly rose from the high mountains in the west, heading straight towards the twin moons in the sky.

This track became brighter and brighter, even overshadowing the brightness of the twin moons at a certain moment.

Finally, the trajectory landed on the moon, and a huge light began to flicker. The night sky also became much brighter at this time, and even the stars were covered by this light.

A bright trail rising from the high mountains heading towards the moon?

The more Li Ang reads this record, the more he feels a sense of immediacy. The native residents of the Terra world may not be aware of it, but to Li Ang, this record is very familiar.

What about Xi'e flying to the moon... Li Ang was also confused by this name at first, thinking of a legend he had heard in his previous life.

But if you cut through the legend of this story, this record becomes very interesting.

This paragraph clearly describes the scene when a manned rocket landed on the moon.

Chapter 58 Centrifugation

Due to the particularity of the Originium engine, the Terrans' aerospace technology development is almost zero.

Let alone manned spaceflight, we can't even build anything that can take people to fly several times in the sky.

Therefore, manned rockets can only be things left over from the previous era. If this story is true, then deep in the Tianyue Mountains, there is at least one space base left over from the previous era, and this space base was located a few years ago. Thousands of years ago, was there still the ability to launch manned rockets?

Thinking along this line of thinking, if you read the story of "Xi'e Flying to the Moon" again, there are many places that will become extremely scary to think about.

The first is Xi'e's identity. She is definitely not an ordinary housewife.

Putting aside her eyes that can see thousands of miles away in the story, it is very terrifying that she can go deep into the Tianyue Mountains alone. Unexpectedly, it took such a long time to prepare and even roped in three agents with the power of gods. Jingzhe also Do you still look like you lack confidence?Xi'e's strength has obviously far exceeded the limits of ordinary people.

After reaching the top of Tianyue Mountain, Xi'e failed to find the whereabouts of her husband. Her tears flowed down from the mountain and turned into the Xijiang River that ran through the entire Yan Kingdom.

Li Ang can't think of any hidden meaning in this story for the time being. Is it just used to set off Xi'e's sadness?I'm afraid it's more than that, but Li Ang knows too little information and can't guess the reason.

Continue reading the following story.

Xi'e received help from the gods and finally launched the manned rocket in the Tianyue Mountains and successfully reached the moon.

At first glance, there seems to be no problem. The gods are the oldest existences in the world of Terra. It is not surprising even if they know the relics left by the previous era, but if you think about it carefully... Xi'e activated it with the help of the gods. A manned rocket?

How did the gods know how to launch a manned rocket?

This thing is not a toy that can fly directly into the sky at the touch of a button. According to Li Ang's superficial understanding, this requires at least a team of hundreds of people to perform precise calculations. Only when the right time and place are indispensable can it succeed. Send manned rockets into space.

Of course, it does not rule out that the technological level of the previous era has reached its extreme. All operations can be completed by computers, and all the astronauts have to do is press the ignition button.

But this will also bring about another problem. Technology has become so advanced, so there should be something like authority authentication, right?

No matter what era it is in, the space base must be an extremely important facility. How did the gods... let Xi'e pass the identity authentication of the space base?

Their identity is highly questionable.

Thinking about it carefully, Li Ang seems to have never considered the nature of gods. Some of them seem to be born naturally, but now it seems that another type of gods may be added, such as... who survived from the previous era. of survivors?

If technology is sufficiently developed, in the eyes of the ancients, it may not be much different from gods.

However, it is also possible that Li Ang is simply overthinking. What if launching a rocket does not require any authority authentication?

And at the end of the story, the twinkling light on the moon overshadowed all the stars, which reminded Li Ang of the stars that have disappeared in the night sky. I wonder if there is some connection between the two.

Who is Xi'e's husband... What is the true identity of the gods... Which moon did Xi'e fly to in the end...

Countless questions flashed through Li Ang's mind, so much so that he even ignored the surrounding situation.

"Li Ang? Li Ang..."

Adele called Leon's name twice, but he still looked thoughtful and didn't respond. This made Adele a little confused. Is this story... so attractive?Why didn't she feel anything was wrong when she read it just now?

After sitting next to Li Angshen for a while, seeing that he still looked thoughtful, Adele did not disturb Li Ang's thinking, got up and left the ward quietly.

After walking out of the ward, Adele saw the white-haired dragon woman with Jingzhe, and then she thought of Nian's identity.

At this time, the conversation between Nian and Jingzhe has come to an end.

"Personally, I don't have any problem. Since you have already made arrangements, I can just follow along. I'm not good at thinking about these issues either."

"But... I don't mean anything else. I just want to say that the efforts of your Tianshi Mansion and the Ministry of Rites are too little? Are there just the two of you? What are the rest of you doing?"

Jingzhe is a descendant of the Tianshi Mansion, and Xuancheng is also the young master of the Ministry of Rites. However, they are not the strongest of the two forces. The main force of the team is the sisters Nian and Xi, and Li Ang. Unidentified presence.

It is natural that there will be some criticisms at the annual meeting. It always feels like before, Dayan is using them as cannon fodder again.

"We also have our difficulties, I hope you can understand." Jingzhe replied without changing his expression.

"Yes, yes, you have difficulties, I understand, I understand," Nian said perfunctorily, "In internal struggles, you must leave a trace of kindness to the other party, so that no matter which side wins, the final result will not be too bad. , but it’s just the incarnation of the weak and pitiful beast like us that suffers.”

Just when Jingzhe was about to explain something, Nian suddenly saw Adele walking out of the ward out of the corner of her eye, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Okay, okay, I don't want to hear any explanation, just leave it like this."

Without waiting for Jingzhe to react, Nian waved his hand and walked in the direction of Adele, leaving Jingzhe smiling bitterly in the wheelchair.

"I said, are you my sister-in-law?"

Nian smiled and hugged Adele's shoulders.

Although Adele was startled by her actions, she still said, "Hey, yes..."

Seeing that Nian was already entangled with Adele, Jingzhe had no choice but to retract her hand and sighed, "I don't know if this is right or wrong."

Intuition told Jingzhe that after the conversation just now, this incarnation of the beast who once had a lot of power in the Ministry of Industry was finally completely disappointed with them. However, these were the decisions of her master and the Minister of Etiquette. Even if Jingzhe sat in Given the position of Minister of Dali Temple, it is difficult to influence their decision.

Just when Jingzhe sighed, a belated figure finally entered the world of the painting.

"Lord Tingwei, everything has been settled." Xuancheng said.

Chapter 59 Tianyue Mountains

"Oh... you came just in time," Jingzhe rubbed his eyebrows and waved to Xuancheng, "Now that everyone is here, tell me about the current situation."

In the process of walking to Jingzhe, Xuancheng also saw Nian playing tricks on Adele over there.

"Lord Tingwei, that is..."

"Yeah... That's Nian, the one in charge of the forging among the 12-year-old beast incarnations. She should be the one who has contributed the most to the Yan Kingdom among them." Jingzhe's tone seemed a bit complicated.

No matter how many contributions he made before [-], it was all in the past. A person's life is only a few decades. How many people still remember the things he did in [-]?

On the contrary, the power they possess is mentioned from time to time. After all, their long lifespans with no end in sight are enough to arouse the prying eyes of others.

Ugh……

After sighing in her heart, Jingzhe felt that it was necessary to talk to her master about this matter, not as a descendant of Tianshi Mansion, but as the minister of Dali Temple... provided that she could go back alive this time .

After all, it was a disaster involving the resurrection of the Sui Beast. Even Jingzhe had no intention of escaping unscathed, not to mention her current half-dead state.

"Okay, how about the guide you found?" Jingzhe asked after clearing these unnecessary thoughts from his mind.

"I found a local herb collector. He is very familiar with the environment outside the Tianyue Mountains. He should be able to lead us safely through Linghai Peak. He has also climbed Linghai Peak several times. He is not completely inexperienced..." Xuancheng still looked a little regretful.

Just being familiar with the periphery of the Tianyue Mountains... this is not enough for their operation this time...

The entire Tianyue Mountains can be roughly divided into three sections. Linghai Peak is the junction of one of the branches and the main line of Tianyue Mountains. Only by climbing over Linghai Peak can you truly enter the Tianyue Mountains.

Their goal this time was to climb to the top of Tianyue Mountain. Simply passing through the perimeter safely would not be of much help.

But Jingzhe nodded and said, "That's enough."

With the development of the times, there is increasingly no room for survival of professions like hunters. There are only herb collectors. Some special herbs can only grow in the environment of the Tianyue Mountains and are difficult to cultivate artificially. Therefore, collectors The profession of medicine man has continued to this day.

However, even the local herb collectors only operate on the periphery of the Tianyue Mountains. It is already quite difficult for Xuancheng to find a herb collector who has climbed over Linghai Peak. He cannot force more.

According to the information that Dayan currently knows, there is a huge basin behind Linghai Peak. After walking out of the basin, you can see the main peak of Tianyue Mountain Range.

However, Dayan knew nothing about what was in that basin. Although many explorers had entered the basin in history, they all mysteriously disappeared in the end, and only a few words of relevant description could be brought out.

Xuancheng may not have heard of it, but Jingzhe knew that when his master was young, he relied on his own strength to penetrate deep into the Tianyue Mountains alone. Later, due to lack of preparation, he had to turn back before reaching the center of the basin.

Jingzhe clearly remembered the subtle expression on the master's face when he talked about that basin. After being silent for a long time, he said in a rather regretful tone, "That basin is indeed very dangerous. According to the According to the teacher's inference, there is probably a large number of plants with hallucinogenic effects growing there, and if you stay there for a little longer, you may fall into hallucinations without knowing it."

"So it's actually very simple to get through there. Just rush over as fast as you can before falling into hallucinations."

Although he was very grateful to Zhang Tianshi for providing first-hand information, Jingzhe always felt that something was wrong.
