Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 160
The so-called coexistence of opportunities and dangers refers to this, and the civilization that can exist in this kind of place is very likely to be an ancient civilization.So far we have seen many monsters described in the Shan Hai Jing, and combined with what Zhu Jiuyin said, we can definitely believe that there was indeed a civilization in that legendary era.This civilization is very likely not composed of humans, but composed of those ancient rare beasts.So speaking, I suddenly felt that this place was very similar to a place, and that was Nigga Mountain in my hometown.

I didn't care about it when I was young, but now that I think about it, those tombs on Heigui Mountain are actually all ancient and rare beasts.The tomb of the beast king I encountered was like this, God knows if other tombs are the same.And it is also possible that there is such an existence here.In this way, it is very likely that in some mysterious areas of the world, there are still a large number of gathering places of ancient civilizations.This is true here as well as at Nigger Hill.

"This stone tablet should be used for their sacrifices, but unfortunately the content on it can no longer be seen clearly, otherwise it would have extremely high research value for ancient civilizations." Alina said, looking at the collected fragments of the stone tablet.

"This is not the point. It is impossible for the two of us to thoroughly investigate here." I said, "Let's go to other places first, maybe we can find some living utensils they left behind. That’s what we need right now.”

As I said that, I took the lead and walked forward. Since there are stone tablets here, it means that the gathering place of civilization is nearby.A water source is one of the necessary conditions for the emergence of civilization. We found a stream nearby and went upstream along the bank.Until the sunset gradually slanted, I only felt that my eyes suddenly became brighter.A large area of ​​the original dense jungle was vacated, and the gentle terrain became the main color.And the most important thing is that there are five huge statues that come into view.At first we couldn't see it from a distance, but we didn't realize the hugeness of these five statues until we got close.The material of the whole statue cannot be seen, but it is made of one piece, and the appearance of splicing cannot be seen.Each one is as tall as a skyscraper, standing below and looking up.Immediately, he felt a sense of his own insignificance.

Finally, we looked farther and began to look at what it was.After looking at it this way, we found out that we don't know whether it is the problem of the angle or the problem of the statue itself.We watched for a long time but couldn't figure out what these five statues were.It stands to reason that Diaolong Tianguan's abstract thinking and associative thinking are quite strong, as I said before.But no matter how I look at it, I can't associate this statue with anything.If you have to say it, it looks like a few rough embryos of stone.It has just come out of the quarry and has not been processed yet.

"Did you see anything?" I asked Alina strangely.

"No?" Alina shook her head, looked around and said, "You said such a big stone, where did they find it?"

This question caught me at once. Generally speaking, such large stones are excavated in deep mountains.But on this small island, I didn't see any big mountains.The vegetation here is dense, but the terrain is also very flat.Surrounded by the sea, it is impossible for such a huge stone to be imported from overseas.

"Could it be a meteorite?" I looked at the five huge stones and said on a whim.

"Probably not. The kinetic energy of such a huge meteorite falling down is enough to level the entire island." Alina shook her head and said, while reaching out her hand to touch the statue, as if she wanted to take some off it to see. Look.But the stone is unbelievably hard.In the end, this problem can only be left alone, and we have to explore all around.However, it was soon discovered strangely that this was not a gathering place of civilization like a village.There are only these five huge statues standing alone in the empty area.There's nothing else, it's kind of like a big square.I can't help imagining a large group of ancient people holding hands and dancing square dances in front of these five statues.It also seems to be quite emotional.

It's getting late at this time, and Elina and I can only rest here for one night.Because the environment is empty, we didn't pay too much attention to possible dangers such as wild animals.But I was lying on the ground, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, my mind was full of these five giant statues.We are just under the boulder, and when we open our eyes, we can see the statue towering up there straight into the sky, and its background is the endless starry sky.The two complement each other, but it is also a spectacle.

Boulders—stars?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to my mind.It suddenly occurred to us that our thinking had fallen into a misunderstanding.Maybe it wasn't a statue at all.

When we saw these five huge stones, the first thing we thought of was the giant stone statue on Easter Island.The same isolated island, the same giant stone.The two are easy to associate, and the problem of looking like nothing is directly ignored by us as a small problem.In fact, another way of thinking, if this is not a statue, it can be explained.I hastily pushed Alina to wake up and told her my thoughts.

"What could it be if it's not a statue?" Elina said strangely after hearing my thoughts, "It may be something else, but if you can't explain what it is, then you can only treat it as a statue right now." Look at the unfinished statue."

"Hmph, you will never guess it." I said with a smug smile, "I said this is a raw material for refining things."

"What?" Alina was obviously taken aback when she heard my words, and looked at the huge stone statue behind her strangely, but didn't understand what I meant.

"It's like if you want to make iron, you need iron ore first. Iron ore is the raw material of iron. And this thing is that raw material." I said, pointing to the sky and said, "Look at the stars in the sky, right here Burning Mars, the warlocks who made medicine in ancient times would draw this array of stars on the alchemy furnace. It mainly burns and forges, and there must be a larger Mars Field Array around this square. This array can mobilize the power of the stars, just right Exercise these five things at the center of the formation."

"How is this possible?" Alina obviously couldn't believe what I said, "What kind of technology do you mean, you can refine the rough stone directly by setting up a large formation here without going through the furnace."

"Theoretically, it is possible." I said a little excitedly, "It's been too long, this Rising Spark Field Formation may have been destroyed, otherwise I can make one now and show you."

"But such a big thing, even if it can be smelted, what are they smelting? Iron? Copper? Or some precious metal?" Elina asked.

"I don't know about this, but let's investigate the surrounding area tomorrow. As long as I can understand the specific structure of the Rising Martian Field Array on the outskirts, I can guess what they were trying to refine in the first place."

Having said that, I am also a little excited.Not for anything else, just because I saw that this kind of celestial star secret technique can achieve such power.This made me see the possibility of Tianxing Fengshui. The technology originally existed only in theory. When I saw the practical application, the excitement was indescribable.Such a night without talking, the second morning, I woke up early.I simply ate some jerky prepared earlier, and then started searching around here.Sure enough, traces of the Meteor Field Formation were soon found around.The layout method is beyond my imagination, it is a canal.This is the upper reaches of the stream, which is rich in water resources.It is almost a perpetual motion machine, and it will not be a problem to work continuously for hundreds of years.But it is obvious that this kind of thing can't work for tens of thousands of years, and the geological activities of tens of thousands of years have disconnected the canal.Naturally, a large formation without a cycle cannot function.But it was precisely because of the destruction that the underground canals were exposed, so I could have a more intuitive understanding of the formation.

We have been searching around for a whole day, and at night, the specific structure of the formation has appeared in my mind. The formation is divided into two parts, one part is naturally used to make fire with the power of the stars, and the other part replaces beating and shaping .As long as the latter is analyzed, the shape of the finished product can be roughly deduced.However, as the calculations progressed, I couldn't believe my eyes.Could something like this really be made?According to my calculations, the five boulders are continuously compressed, impurities are removed, and there are fewer and fewer things left.In the end, it was even compressed to a height of five or six meters, and it was still compressing.

I couldn't believe it when the final results of the game came to my mind.The five boulders that looked like hills were finally compressed into five parts the size of an index finger.I don't know what material this boulder is made of, but it needs to be refined to such a degree, what exactly is it?And judging from the results, these are not five finished products, but five parts!Nima's five parts will use the same material as five hills, so how much material does it take to complete the finished product!It's not enough to refine this small island!
Alina still doesn't know the result of my final calculation, and she sees something wrong with my expression.Strangely pushed me, I just recovered from the shock.After telling her the result of my deduction, Elina shook her head in disbelief, "It's not that I don't believe in your deduction result. According to what you said, if these five hills are only five parts, then a complete body To say the least, several such small islands are needed. It is impossible to complete the raw materials. Ancient civilizations should be very aware of their limitations. Even if the entire small island is used to make materials, they will not be enough. Then they will not do it at all. This attempt."

I also think what Elina said seems to make sense, but my calculations are not wrong, and suddenly I thought of a possibility, and I was frightened by this idea all of a sudden. "What if this wasn't a small island in the first place?"
