Chapter 622 Ancient Buildings
Without going to the entrance of the cave, a magnificent picture unfolded in front of everyone's eyes, which made everyone's heart full of shock.
Although it was described by Meng Qiongyun first, what they saw with their own eyes was another scene. Everyone thought that the so-called ancient buildings in these places were just a few buildings.
This is inside the mountain, and it has been walked underground for a long time along the passage. Even if it can be excavated and built some buildings, how big can it be?
But when they saw it, everyone's eyes widened.
Outside the cave, it is unbelievably spacious and tall. It is simply unimaginable that there will be such a huge space in a mountain, which makes one wonder whether the entire mountain has been hollowed out by the height of hundreds of meters.
The outer ground is almost circular, and the hollowed-out space presents a huge hemispherical shape. On the surrounding cliffs, whether it is horizontal or vertical, there is a brazier every three meters or so, burning flames , obviously for lighting, this brazier rises from the ground to a height of more than 30 meters.
These dense and dazzling flames illuminate the space extremely brightly, from near to far, it is clear.
The water of the underground river has become shallow here, and it flows forward against the cliff on their side, like a drainage channel. On the other side of the river, this huge building complex has been completely exposed.
The buildings are connected together, with high and low ups and downs, just like a small town. The houses are all piled up of stones, neatly, and many of them have exquisite patterns. Although they are old, the colors have peeled off. But those lines are still very clear, it can be seen that the carving is extraordinary.
The building complex runs from west to east, from short to high. On their side, there are several rows of bungalows, which gradually rise towards the distance. At the farthest point, there is a nine-storey tower building.
Although these buildings are all made of stone, they don't look dull at all. They are polished extremely smooth, and under the firelight, they even reflect light.
Everyone involuntarily quickened their pace, three steps in two, and they had already reached the entrance of the cave.
Standing by the river, Meng Qiongyun was dumbfounded, his eyes could barely see, and he stammered, "This, here——it turned out to be like this!"
Rong Guocheng also looked at the scene in front of him in shock. Hearing Meng Qiongyun's words, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Mr. Meng, haven't you been here before? Could it be that when you came that time, this place wasn't like this?" Is it?"
Meng Qiongyun still stared blankly, and subconsciously said: "When we arrived, these lights were not lit, we just used some lighting equipment, and we couldn't see the whole picture of this place, and we were in a hurry. After careful study, the Jiao reappeared again, so we had no choice but to flee in haste."
Tang Feng withdrew his gaze from the building complex and looked at Zixuan and Changsun Ying who entered it first.
The two of them stood under the opposite cliff of the underground river, with stunned expressions on their faces, even Dabai next to them was stunned.
Obviously, the two of them just found the mechanism and turned on the lights in this huge cave, but they didn't expect it to be so spectacular.
"Many people seem to have lived here." Ji Ning's gaze was completely attracted by the scene in front of him, and he couldn't take it back for a while. He looked at it and opened his mouth slowly.
Meng Qiongyun said: "Yes, when we came here before, we felt that there were traces of many people's lives here, and in some houses, there were many living utensils, but due to the rush of time, we couldn't study them carefully. One time, I must look at all the places, and through these tools, I can deduce the age of this ancient building."
The more Meng Qiongyun talked, the more excited he became, his eyes were shining brightly, and in the end, instead of talking to Ji Ning, he was encouraging himself.
What Ji Ning said naturally didn't mean that, and he didn't care what Meng Qiongyun said, he still looked towards the ancient building.
Shangguan was behind him, nodded his head lightly, and said: "That's right, this place doesn't look like a sect, but more like a village where many families gather."
Her words were obviously a continuation of Ji Ning's previous words.
Ji Ning also gave an "um", this is what he was thinking.
When they came here, they always felt that this place should be the ruins of ancient monks, but now it seems that this place is more like a place where ordinary people live together. It was so shocking that they would have thought it was really an ordinary village.
Lin Mengjia asked in surprise, "Peach Blossom Spring?"
This situation was indeed very similar to what was recorded in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", but no one was still alive. Otherwise, I don't know if they would come up to welcome them as described.
However, this kind of scene is not a beautiful picture when imagined, but it is a bit weird.
"Mr. Tang, let's go and have a look first." Meng Qiongyun looked impatient. He had been waiting for more than ten years, and finally came back here. Seeing such a panoramic view again, he was even more excited and wished to go up immediately. , study every corner carefully.
Tang Feng nodded, and stretched out his hand to pull Lin Mengjia.
Meng Qiongyun immediately walked towards the river happily, and the others followed suit. The special equipment they were wearing was waterproof, and the current only reached the knees, so it would not be a problem to wade directly.
Shangguan picked up the little girl, and Ji Ning took Xiao Hui out of his pocket, let Zhou Wan hold her, and then picked Zhou Wan up again. The current was not deep for adults, but the two children were Those who can't get over, and they are only wearing children's mountaineering suits, naturally they can't be allowed to go into the water.
While walking, Ji Ning said to Shangguan next to him: "Have you noticed that we have walked in this cave passage for a long time, and now we entered this place again, with flames burning all around, but we didn't feel it at all?" To stuffy."
Shangguan gave a "hmm" and said: "There must be a very secret ventilation hole in this cave, and the flames on the rock wall did not show signs of being blown by the wind, which means that the location of the ventilation hole is not near them. "
A puzzled look appeared in Ji Ning's eyes, and he said again: "Who is it that can build such an astonishing building in such a place? And why are these people living in such a place?"
