Lin Shuangyue lightly raised her hand, but without seeing any movement, the stone door slowly opened.

"Please."

Everyone followed her in and took a look, and there was a different world inside!

Chapter 660

Everyone never expected that there was an exquisite palace behind the stone gate!

The front hall of the palace alone covers more than 1000 square meters, and the inner space is about ten meters high. It is supported by dozens of thick stone pillars, and there are more than a dozen stone doors around it. Behind the door is a long corridor leading to the inner court.

The inner court does not know how many rooms there are, and the scale of the entire palace is hard to estimate, at least [-] to [-] square meters!

If this palace was built on the ground, it would not be surprising, but it was dug out of the mountain wall, the difficulty is high, and the amount of work is huge, it is simply unimaginable!

What's more, this was done by the ancients more than 2000 years ago. Jingjue Country is a small country with a population of less than [-]. Even if the whole people mobilize, it will be difficult to complete such a huge project!

Lin Shuangyue seemed to have guessed the doubts in people's hearts, and said softly.

"This palace took 120 years and tens of thousands of people were used to build it."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie immediately thought of the chaotic ancient city, and asked quickly.

"Most of these 10 people are outsiders, right?"

Lin Shuangyue nodded without explaining too much, but just led everyone through the front hall and into one of the corridors.

The corridor is about three meters wide, with railings on both sides, and outside the railings is a lush garden.

In the mountain wall that does not see the sun, these plants do not know how to grow.

After walking more than 100 meters along the corridor, I entered a room with an area of ​​more than 300 square meters.

There are all kinds of furniture in the room, and there are two jade screens. Judging from the furnishings, it should be a living room.

Lin Shuangyue walked to the main seat and sat down, gently waving her hands.

"Everyone, please sit down and serve tea!"

As soon as everyone sat down, they were full of curiosity. There are still servants in this palace?

After a while, I saw more than a dozen monkeys jumping out.

Each monkey is carrying a tray with seasonal fruits and tea.

The monkeys put the tea on the table and jumped out again.

The fat man was dumbfounded, and said in a daze.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to tame monkeys!"

Lin Shuangyue smiled lightly.

"It's just a little trick."

Wu Xie said with a puzzled look.

"But this is a vast desert, how can there be monkeys? And where do these fresh fruits and tea come from?"

Lin Shuangyue replied without thinking.

"I raise them all, not only fruits, but also vegetables and various crops."

"In addition to monkeys, there are also some livestock and birds. If you are interested, I can take you to visit later."

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately thought of the gardens on both sides of the corridor. Could it be that there is a large-scale farm here? !

But the problem is, there is no sunshine and no water source in this mountain wall all year round. How can the crops survive?

Ji Changsheng thought for a while, and then understood.

"This palace is not closed, is there a skylight for lighting?"

Lin Shuangyue nodded approvingly.

"There are not only skylights for lighting, but also 28 wells with sufficient water sources."

Only then did everyone understand, and they couldn't help but feel shocked.

The scale of this palace is much larger than they imagined, it is almost an underground city!

It’s no wonder that tens of thousands of people were employed back then, and it took more than 10 years to complete the construction. From the perspective of engineering volume, it is almost comparable to the Great Wall!

Wuxie asked quickly.

"Why was this dungeon built?"

Lin Shuangyue hesitated for a moment before replying.

"This is a long story, please listen to me slowly."

The history of Jingjue Kingdom can be traced back to more than 3000 years ago. At that time, their ancestors had not yet established a country, and they were just a small tribe with a few hundred people.

At that time, there were still large oases in Taklimakan, not all deserts.

This small tribe lived a primitive nomadic life, living by water and grass, and wandering around.

This went on for many years until they came to the foot of a high mountain with lush water and grass and a pleasant environment, so they decided to settle here temporarily.

After living under the mountain for a while, several wizards in the tribe discovered something unusual.

These wizards have psychic abilities and can communicate with everything in the mountains and rivers. Among them, the old man who is the leader is the most knowledgeable and talented, and he is a prophet among wizards.

The prophet said that this is a sacred mountain, and God guided them to come here and gave them a sacred mission to guard the sacred mountain from generation to generation.

In that era when the people's wisdom was not developed, the clergy had the highest social status, and the tribal chiefs had to listen to their opinions.

So the tribe lived at the foot of the sacred mountain, multiplied, and guarded the sacred mountain.

After several generations, the clansmen discovered some strange phenomena.

The climate around Shenshan is like spring all the year round, never having a cold winter or midsummer, the water source is clear, the plants are lush and full of vitality.

But hundreds of miles away from the sacred mountain, the oasis has begun to rapidly desertify, and the yellow sand is gradually engulfing the grassland, making the environment worse and worse. Sandstorms and tornadoes are frequent, and within a thousand miles, all other tribes have moved away. up.

Only the vicinity of the sacred mountain has not been hit by sandstorms and tornadoes, and it seems that there is really divine power protecting this place.

In addition, people also found that since they settled in the holy mountain, the life expectancy of the tribe has become longer and longer, and they have never been sick!

At that time, the average life span of human beings was less than 40 years old, but people in this tribe could live to 80 to 3000 years old, and there were even a few centenarians. This was almost a miracle more than [-] years ago!

At first, people thought that this was the blessing brought by the sacred mountain, and they didn't think it was very strange, they just became more devout.

But then something disturbing happened in the tribe.

First of all, there was a problem with the livestock they raised. A cow actually gave birth to a monster with a human head and a bull body!

The monster could talk when it was born, but no one could understand it, not even wizards.

The monster cried for three days and three nights, refused to eat a mouthful of milk, and finally starved to death.

The wizards thought it was a revelation or warning from the gods, but they couldn't figure out what it meant, and the whole tribe fell into uneasiness and panic.

After a while, a pregnant woman fell into the well while fetching water, and drowned after being picked up.

The wizards held a traditional ceremony for the dead. After the sacrifice, when they were about to be buried, the dead came back to life!

To be precise, it was not a real resurrection, but a corpse change!

The pregnant woman's eyes were bleeding and her appearance was hideous. After roaring in a strange voice for a while, she kowtowed to the holy mountain and worshiped for a whole night. It was not until the sun rose the next day that she turned back into a cold corpse. .

At this time, the people of the tribe realized that the problem was on the mountain of God!

Chapter 661

When Lin Shuangyue said this, her expression was very calm, while the others were secretly startled.

Who would have thought that more than 3000 years ago, the ancestors of Jingjue Kingdom experienced such strange events!

After experiencing these strange events, the clansmen realized that the problem lies in the sacred mountain.

After discussing with the wizards, the chief decided to organize a team to enter the holy mountain to check.

This mountain is a sacred place for them. This is the first time that no one has ever gone up to the mountain since they have settled down for generations.

The team entering the mountain consisted of more than a dozen young, strong and courageous people, led by the new prophet.

The other clansmen waited for their return at the foot of the mountain, and the wait lasted for three months.

When the team came back, there were only three people left, and the others all died in the holy mountain!

But no matter how the clansmen asked, they refused to disclose what happened in the mountain. They only said that they had appeased God's anger and received God's blessing, so that everyone could feel at ease.

The Prophet was one of the three survivors. He told his people that those who died had been favored by God and would stay with God forever, so there was no need to feel sad for them.

At the same time, he also said that he saw God with his own eyes!

But he just said this and didn't reveal other details.

Although the clansmen still had doubts in their hearts, due to the lofty status of the prophet, no one dared to raise any objections.

On the surface, this incident has calmed down, but in fact, a bigger incident is brewing secretly!

Less than half a year later, suddenly one day, the prophet urgently summoned the tribe, saying that God was offended again, and he had to appease God's anger and leave the tribe.

After he leaves, the remaining clansmen must guard here and wait for his return.

The Prophet is the spiritual leader of the tribe. Once he leaves, the tribe will have no backbone, which is a big deal.

The tribe begged hard, telling the prophet not to leave.

The prophet had no choice but to tell the truth. It turned out that they had glimpsed the secret of God in the sacred mountain!

There is a bottomless abyss in the depths of this sacred mountain, which is a prison set up by the gods, and a terrible evil god is imprisoned in it.

The strange things that happened in the tribe before were all done by the evil gods in the abyss!

In order to suppress the evil god, more than a dozen warriors had to be sacrificed to calm things down.

But what the Prophet didn't expect was that the other two survivors who came back with him were bewitched by the evil god, and actually sneaked into the holy mountain and released the evil god!

The evil god escaped from the abyss prison and offended the gods again.

As a prophet who serves God, he has the obligation to hunt down those two traitors and bring back the evil god, otherwise the whole tribe will be punished by God!
