Chapter 715 The Scale of Time
When they saw Qinghu Lake, they also saw the gray-white mountain peak by the lake. Different from the peaks covered with vegetation elsewhere, the mountain peak by the lake was gray-white, very bare, and not covered by any vegetation.
Arriving at the destination, Wu Zhongyuan landed on the ground and put Wang Xinran down.
Wang Xinran took off his backpack, moved his sore hands and feet, and at the same time looked around.
Wu Zhongyuan was also observing the surrounding environment. The shape of this lake was irregular. It was about ten miles long from east to west and five or six miles wide from north to south. The lake was blue and bottomless.
The gray-white peak is located on the west side of the lake. It should be made of limestone. Compared with the hard granite, the hardness of the limestone is slightly worse, and the mountain has obvious signs of weathering. The mountain peak is not high, only a few dozen feet. It is relatively rounded overall and has no jagged rocks.
After moving his legs and feet, Wang Xinran took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, lit it and started to take off his pants.
"What are you doing?" Wu Zhongyuan was confused.
"What else can I do? Pee." Wang Xinran said casually.
"You don't know where to find a suitable place." Wu Zhongyuan said.
Wang Xinran curled his lips in disdain, "Fuck, you haven't seen anything."
Wu Zhongyuan turned around, using the mountain peak as a reference, and visually observed to the south. According to the record in the debit note, the ancient tomb with the wormhole was located five miles due south of the mountain peak, but looking at it five miles away There were no holes. It must have been that the entrance to the tomb was re-sealed when the people from Leprongling Ridge left.
"How long has it been since you peed?" Wang Xinran asked.
"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan didn't know what he meant and turned to look back.
Wang Xinran put on his pants and stood up, "I said you haven't peed in a long time. I haven't seen you go to the toilet since yesterday."
"I... don't want to pee now." Wu Zhongyuan said. In fact, he wanted to say that he no longer needed to pee. In fact, he did not need to go to the toilet. The waste produced by the human body is composed of turbid gas, and he had nothing to do with it. The turbid qi, some turbid qi mainly comes from the things he has eaten recently, and these turbid qi can be dissipated from the body at any time, and there will be no urine production at all.
The reason for the temporary change of words was to consider Wang Xinran's feelings. He once gave Wang Xinran a ninth-level lotus seed, but Wang Xinran never used it. This shows that Wang Xinran does not want to change himself. Not only does he not want to change himself, but he also does not want him to change qualitatively. , in fact, the rapid improvement of his spiritual energy cultivation has made Wang Xinran feel strange and uneasy towards him, but Wang Xinran is considerate of him and has been trying hard to restrain himself and not show it.
Wang Xinran's mentality is actually easy to understand. When you like someone to the extreme, you don't want the other person to change. You hope that both parties can maintain their current status. The greater his change, the more uneasy Wang Xinran will be.
Wang Xinran tied up his belt, picked up his backpack and put it on his shoulders, "It's not very far, let's walk there."
Wu Zhongyuan nodded in agreement, and the two of them walked through the suspected area.
"Why did Wu Di change my hairpin?" Wang Xinran was looking ahead when he spoke.
"What?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.
"When a person doesn't know how to answer the other person's question, he usually asks questions to gain time to think." Wang Xinran said with a smile.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer. In fact, what Wang Xinran said was exactly what he was thinking. He didn't answer because he didn't know how to answer. He didn't want to lie or tell the truth.
"You will definitely not tell her about our affairs, but this woman has a very high IQ. You asked me to write down how to use nuclear bombs before. She must have guessed from this detail that you want to keep me in modern times." Wang Xinran said.
Wu Zhongyuan still didn't answer the call.
Wang Xinran did not stop or slow down, and continued to move forward.
He was also looking from a distance, "Am I wrong? Didn't she change my hairpin just to keep it as a souvenir?"
Wu Zhongyuan asked in a deep voice, "Can you understand my thoughts?"
"Yes," Wang Xinran nodded, "You are protecting me."
"This world does not belong to you, this is my battlefield," Wu Zhongyuan said, "Wait for me at home, and I will go back after the battle."
Wang Xinran did not answer immediately, but frowned in thought.
"I don't want anything to happen to you." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"I know, that's not what I was thinking about." Wang Xinran shook his head.
"What are you thinking about?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Wang Xinran turned to look at Wu Zhongyuan, "I know you are telling the truth, I understand your approach, and I also believe in your ability. You will definitely be able to win this war, but after the war is over, you may not go back. .”
"I will go back." Wu Zhongyuan said seriously.
Wang Xinran shook his head, "The wife may not be someone else's best friend, but the child must be his own. A man may abandon his wife, but he will not abandon his son. I am referring to men who still have humanity, not scum. If If they give birth to a child for you, you will not go back.”
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer because he had not taken into consideration what Wang Xinran said before.
Wang Xinran did not continue to talk about this topic, nor did he express his position on whether he would stay in modern times. He threw away his cigarette butt and said, "I can't see clearly at night. Take a good look. The ancient tomb should be nearby."
"Right in front," Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his hand and pointed forward, "I sensed a large space underground, and the black hole is still there. I can feel the abnormal fluctuations of the breath."
"Can you tell if anyone has been to this place recently?" Wang Xinran asked.
"Probably not," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said, "But that's not necessarily the case. People at this time don't litter, and there are no abandoned objects around here."
Not long after, the two came to the top of the ancient tomb. Wu Zhongyuan closed his eyes and felt. He outlined the shape and size of the ancient tomb in his mind. He also found the location of the entrance. After removing the sand, stone and soil above, a black stone slab was revealed. come out.
This black slate is square in shape, one foot square and one foot thick. The slate has been pried open, and when it was re-covered, the angles were not aligned, and the covering was not very tight.
Wu Zhongyuan extended his spiritual energy to lift the stone slab in the air, "There are no living things inside, but don't rush in yet, let the wind blow in to disperse the moldy atmosphere inside."
Wang Xinran lit another cigarette and smoked silently in the darkness.
Normally, one cigarette can be smoked for five minutes. When the cigarette was finished, Wang Xinran put the stubbed out cigarette butt into his pocket and said, "That's almost it. Let's go."
Wu Zhongyuan took the lead, followed by Wang Xin.
Under the stone slab is the descending tomb passage, with thick dust accumulated on the tomb passage.
After entering the tomb passage, Wu Zhongyuan's thoughts flashed, and he slowly dropped the black stone slab, and then extended his spiritual energy to cover the stone slab again with the sand, gravel and soil outside.
The stone slab returned to its place, and the tomb passage was dark. Wu Zhongyuan exuded a breath of spiritual energy, supported by the fire dragon's true energy, and emitted firelight, illuminating the tomb passage as bright as day.
The descending steps are nine feet long and seven inches wide, extending deep into the ground. Visually, there are at least a hundred of them. The tomb passage is made of stone, which is gray-white rock and must be made from local materials.
The stone walls on both sides and the top are all plain without any carvings or decorations.
As he was going down, Wu Zhongyuan reached out and touched the stone wall on the left. His hand was very smooth, like a tile.
"What was used to cut this? How can it be so smooth?" Wu Zhongyuan looked around.
Wang Xinran took a closer look and quickly came to the conclusion, "The color of the stone has changed slightly. It should have experienced high temperatures, and the possibility of laser is high."
"Laser?" Wu Zhongyuan became more and more confused.
Wu Zhongyuan has a deeper understanding of metaphysics than Wang Xinran, but Wang Xinran is more familiar with high technology than him. "This wormhole is obviously man-made. It is normal for people who can create wormholes to use lasers."
The two walked down slowly, and Wang Xinran said casually, "After you left, we moved the underwater teleportation array back. Through analysis and research, we found that the time wormhole, like time, has a scale. Three hundred and sixty years It's probably the wormhole's travel scale. Any form of time and space travel can only be performed in multiples of three hundred and sixty. The person who created this wormhole is likely to come from some time in the future."
"It makes sense." Wu Zhongyuan nodded.
The two did not speculate or discuss too much, because as long as they entered the tomb chamber, everything would be answered, and now they had seen the end of the tomb passage.
Not long after, the two came to the end of the tomb passage. At the end of the tomb passage was a double stone door. The stone door was half open. There were two wooden sticks next to the stone door. Because it was extremely dry here, the wooden sticks had not rotted. Wu Zhongyuan picked them up and looked at them and found that they were Two used torches.
People's fear mainly comes from the unknown. Darkness will bring about the unknown. The existence of firelight can not only eliminate fear, but also reduce the sense of depression caused by the closed environment. The two did not linger too much by the stone door. After a simple observation, they Entered the tomb.
The tomb is very large and empty. There are no words or murals on the four walls. They are all plain. There are no stone statues or tomb-suppressing beasts in the tomb. There is only an independent stone wall in the north area. This stone wall is the screen wall of the tomb. In front of the screen wall There is a sarcophagus placed on the stone platform, and behind the screen wall is the location of the wormhole. Since the wormhole is blocked by the screen wall, the two of them cannot see it at this time, but Wu Zhongyuan can feel the abnormality emitted by the wormhole. breath.
"No one has been here for a long time." Wu Zhongyuan walked towards the sarcophagus.
Wang Xinran followed behind and did not answer.
Arriving in front of the sarcophagus, Wu Zhongyuan concentrated on sensing the atmosphere in the sarcophagus.
"Huh?" Wu Zhongyuan suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?" Wang Xinran was a little nervous.
"There doesn't seem to be a corpse inside." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"What is that?" Wang Xinran asked.
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer, but extended his spiritual energy to lift the coffin lid. As he said, what was placed in the coffin was not a corpse, but a pile of stones. It was not the natural shape of the stones, but small fragments. The shape of each piece is different, but there are cutting marks on each piece, just like the scraps from a marble processing factory.
"What is this?" Wang Xinran looked down in confusion.
"The breath is the same as the breath emitted by the wormhole, and it should be the energy source that provides energy for the wormhole." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"The person who created the wormhole seems to be deliberately hiding his identity." Wang Xinran said.
"It may be that there is no need to reveal their identity," Wu Zhongyuan said. "They used scraps of meteorites as energy sources, which shows that it is not very difficult for them to create this type of wormhole."
After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, he lowered the coffin lid and walked behind the screen wall.
As recorded in the debit note, there is a strange door behind the screen wall. The ancients did not recognize this water wave-shaped wormhole, so they called it a strange door...
