Chapter 279 What the mind sees can never be erased [1]

The appearance of such a strange place in the underground space is beyond imagination, but it is not very strange. After all, the pyramids, the Colossi of Thara, etc. still exist in real life. Seeing a "replica" now is not very surprising.

Even Wushuang Mountain still exists today, so even if it is a little strange, what's the big deal? There is no shortage of these strange things in life.

Zhang Wufeng just felt that this environment was full of weirdness. To him, this place was similar to the space in the Eight Diagrams Formation. It had a very strong sense of reality, but it was definitely not its original appearance.

It was like he was in the space of the Eight Diagrams, lying on the grass with a dogtail grass in his mouth. These were real feelings, but in fact, he was holding nothing in his mouth. It was just a powerful illusion.

For example, a real flower is reflected by countless mirrors to another place and exists there. Others see the changes in the flower and think that the flower is real, but what others see is just the flower in the mirror.

It is like the moon in the water. The moon in the water is definitely the moon, but it is not really deep under the water. It just reflects the moon in the sky. However, when the real huge and tranquil lake reflects the moon, people who do not know that the moon is in the sky will suspect that the moon in the water exists under the water.

Zhang Wufeng speculated that if there was a huge diamond-shaped mirror that projected some distant buildings here through the folding of air, then what was here was real or fake?
The reason why Zhang Wufeng had such a speculation was because everything here felt a little unreal, just like seeing flowers in the fog, with a vague feeling.

So, in an underground, if all this is false, then why would such an existence be fabricated here?
Also, why is there a mutant heart-eating worm in the bronze box? And why is the shadow book under the treasure map?

All of this is an unsolvable puzzle. Except for the dream in which a little girl grows up on the grassland and is swallowed by a shadow, there is no answer to any other situation.

"The Colossus of Hethroes is the most mysterious of the Seven Wonders. This colossus was built at the entrance to the sea in the port of the city of Rhos. It is a bronze statue of Helios, the sun god of Hethroes, about 33 meters high. Because it was destroyed in an earthquake in 56 BC in just 226 years, archaeologists have not even been able to determine its exact location and appearance..."

Yang Wubing continued to introduce relevant knowledge, from the Pyramids of Qin and Diti at the beginning to the Colossi of Tholos at the end. He took everyone to the nearby places of these wonders to watch and gave detailed explanations.

He is like a tour guide, taking humans on a tour of past civilizations.

Zhang Wufeng just listened calmly and thought about his own problems silently.

During this period, Yang Encai and others completely relaxed as if they were on a trip, and immersed themselves in the vastness of ancient culture.

"What the mind sees can never be erased. This feeling is indescribable." Yang Wubing sighed, just like a great archaeologist sighing about ancient civilization.

Zhang Wufeng felt a little touched, but he couldn't grasp the key point, as if he had overlooked something.

He turned around and subconsciously looked around, but couldn't find the way he came.

However, when he looked at the place opposite to the statue, which looked like the sea, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked. Since this was all land, where did the smell of the salty and humid air of the sea come from, even though the smell was only faint.

Zhang Wufeng concentrated and held his breath, using his animal instinct to perceive. However, as soon as this perception appeared, a deep feeling of fear arose spontaneously. This feeling made all the hairs on Zhang Wufeng's body stand up as if they were bombed.

Under this perception, the so-called sky blue ocean ahead is not an ocean, but an accumulation of special earthworm-like insects.

Zhang Wufeng carefully sensed his surroundings. The magnificent statues and other things around him did not exist at all. They were just some lifelike statues and murals, illuminated by an inexplicable golden light. This situation occurred.

Under your feet is not a road made of gold bricks, but a road paved with the bones of countless people.

This is a strange and evil place, with an inexplicable smell flowing around. The groundwater in the mountains accumulates in a pool in front, forming a special pool. The pool probably has a lot of salt, so the air here has a salty and humid smell.

After Zhang Wufeng sensed some situations around him and far away, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. It turned out that there were some special "formations" in operation here.

Zhang Wufeng was just about to pull Yang Wubing and others back according to the steps of speculation and calculation, but at this moment, Yang Wubing and others were slightly stunned, and then they exclaimed as if they had seen the most attractive thing, and ran forward without caring about anything else.

At this time, including Yang Wubing, they all did the same thing, throwing away their bags, putting down their things, and then rushing forward like crazy. At this time, except for Zhang Wufeng, the other five people each chose a direction and ran away madly.

Zhang Wufeng was slightly stunned, then without hesitation, he used his crystal power to sweep all five people back. At the same time, several golden needles pierced several acupuncture points on the five people's bodies, making them temporarily unable to move.

But at this time, even though they had lost the ability to move due to the stimulation of Zhang Wufeng, the five of them still gasped softly and tried hard to crawl forward.

Zhang Wufeng strangely controlled the actions of the five people again, causing them to faint and temporarily cutting off their nerve control abilities. Once the five people lost control and left the 12-meter range, Zhang Wufeng would no longer be able to control them and protect their safety.

However, because these people got into trouble after taking a deep look in all directions, Zhang Wufeng also subconsciously looked around, but the scenes around him were still the miracles of the ancient civilization, without any other abnormalities. However, Zhang Wufeng subconsciously looked up at the sky again, and this glance made him alert.

In the sky, a black shadow flashed and disappeared. Then, that place showed a scene like a ghost castle, like a small border town that appeared inexplicably, with countless people working in a hurry in the town.

Zhang Wufeng just raised his head, and his consciousness gradually immersed in it.

In that border town, there is a very strange black castle that looks like a palace. Near the castle, there are very strange gray-black mountains and rivers.

But everything here is colorless, just grayish white, and the existence of colors is regarded as the most noble existence here.

Here, Zhang Wufeng was wandering, and suddenly, he felt a tingling pain between his eyebrows. His wandering body suddenly broke into pieces and then turned to ashes.

Zhang Wufeng woke up with a start. He found that he could clearly see many skeletons under his feet. The illusory place had disappeared, or he had seen through the illusion of the seven wonders of the ancient times.

Everything around me was very dark. In the distance, a huge night pearl emitted a dark red light. The night pearl was inlaid on the wall. Around the wall were some very strange rubies that looked like eyeballs, which made people feel scared.

Zhang Wufeng did not expect such an outcome. Around him, Yang Wubing and others were still lying on the ground, unconscious, and had not woken up yet.

It was at this time that Zhang Wufeng noticed that there were many people here who were gazing at the dead with their heads tilted back, and many of them had a diamond-like hole between their eyebrows.

Zhang Wufeng felt a chill in his heart, he finally understood that this place was definitely a nightmare for people like him who had opened their third eye, because many people were immersed in such an environment and could not extricate themselves, and eventually died on the spot.

And in the previous scene, when he felt his body shattered, was he also dead? Zhang Wufeng didn't know, but he subconsciously swept his crystal power and wrapped all five people up. At the same time, he stretched out his hand, and there was a circle of rope in his hand.

He tied the five people together without caring whether they were feeling uncomfortable or not. Then Zhang Wufeng exerted his crystal strength, lifted all five people up and carried them on his shoulders.

He looked around, and when he found that the ground was covered with relics left by the dead, Zhang Wufeng no longer felt nervous. Even though there were all kinds of strange things here, and some of them were obviously top-notch at a glance, Zhang Wufeng did not touch them.

Zhang Wufeng took a few steps back, with crystal power surrounding him. He then looked at the situation around him and slowly backed away.

After thinking about it, Zhang Wufeng separated a part of his crystal power and entered the crystal space between his eyebrows. In the crystal space, the ancient coin dug out from the stone on the cave wall burst out with a faint golden halo at this moment, lighting up the entire crystal space and making it extremely clear.

Zhang Wufeng took out the ancient coin and held it in his palm. Suddenly, his sense of crisis dropped sharply, and the originally extremely depressed feeling suddenly became much better.

In this situation, Zhang Wufeng retreated while scanning everywhere with his crystal power and comparing the location with the treasure map. Finally, he found the way in in a special corner.

After retreating to this corner, Zhang Wufeng retreated into this dark passage. As a result, the small golden inner hall did not appear. Instead, a special feeling of shackles made him unable to move forward or backward.
