Hutao uses me to judge my performance

After almost a day of traveling, the two arrived at Wuwangpo.

Coming to the stone pillars and huge arches that resembled the snow-capped mountain ruins, Jiang Bai looked at the knowledgeable Albedo and asked:

"I have seen this style of relic buildings in many places, even in the snow-capped mountains. The patterns on the arches and stone pillars are all the same, but the time, place and age of their appearance are different. Do you know anything about these? "

Jiang Bai has really been curious about this question for a long time. He asked his master Zhongli and Zhongli the Riddler, and Jiang Bai wanted to explore it himself.

What Jiang Bai can do, he can only ask other people who may know for advice.

"I also have some guesses about these, but they are just guesses and may not be accurate."

Albedo looked at the Celtic triangular pattern carved on the arch, which was composed of a continuous line, and said softly, "These patterns are everywhere, but they only exist in those ancient past things."

This pattern is also on the mola, but the pattern on it has not changed since the creation of the mola. It is also a very ancient thing.

There is a theory that the pattern on Mora represents Teyvat.

But whether it is true or not, it is estimated that only the rune experts in this field and the creator of the rock god can answer the question.

"I found it too." Jiang Bai nodded.

Modern buildings, whether Mondstadt or Liyue, will not use this pattern.

"Do you remember those murals on the snowy mountains?"

"Well, remember."

The murals on the snowy mountains were left by the former Fendenir, recording the birth of Fendenir.

Judging from the rhombus-shaped equipment creations guarding the old capital, this short-lived country has the ability to build mechanical guards in a very short period of time.

According to normal development, it is obviously abnormal.

"The murals record that messengers descended from the sky and led the people to build prosperous Fendenir."

Hearing this, Jiang Bai obviously understood.

"You mean, these buildings located in different locations, different eras, and different countries all have a common leader and a common belief in Sky Island?"

This can indeed explain why the architectural patterns are the same in different countries and locations.

Because they all believe in Sky Island and follow the guidance of Sky Island, they use this pattern with special meaning.

"All civilizations that believe in Sky Island have become ruins..."

Jiang Bai thought about it carefully and was horrified.

Fendenir has existed for a long time. At that time, Mondshan was still in a world of ice and snow, Wendy had not yet become the God of Wind, and the system of the seven rulers of the world had not yet been established.

In other words, Sky Island personally sent messengers to guide humans at the beginning, but later, she no longer responded to the countries that believed in her. Instead, she selected seven demon gods from among the demon gods to become gods, divide the territory, and replace her. Manage humans.

After the Sky Island stopped responding to the voices on the ground, the news of these ancient countries due to various reasons may have been destroyed by the Sky Nail like Findenil, or they may have been involved in a cruel demon war and became someone. Zi Ming, a demon god, might have been affected by the aftermath of the battle between demon gods and died...

These civilizations that once existed did not leave behind murals and texts like Fendenir. If these ancient buildings were not left on the earth, it would be as if they had never existed.

"Thinking about it this way, Fendenier is quite lucky. At least they have left proof of their existence." Jiang Bai lamented.

He was really becoming more and more curious about what Sky Island was. However, due to the contract, Zhongli couldn't talk about many things. Whenever he touched on these topics, he would laugh.

Abedo shook his head, "These are just my guesses. I don't know what Sky Island is like. All speculations are one-sided."

"Yes, is there a god up there? Or a group of gods? Or nothing at all? We have no way of knowing."

Jiang Bai looked up and looked up at the Sky Island, where a small outline could be seen faintly in the sky. What exactly does the Sky Island look like?

What are the people living up there?

Is it a higher existence of the Seven Gods?

In the long past, have there been alternations and changes in those higher-level beings?

Since Sky Island sent envoys to guide people's lives, established city-states and kingdoms, and developed a considerable degree of technology, one day it suddenly stopped responding to the sounds on the ground, which always made him feel a little strange.

Nothing happens without a reason, there must be a reason for it.

Jiang Bai told Abedo his speculation, and Abedo also agreed.

If a high-ranking being has a 180-degree change in its attitude towards its own people, that must be what happened.

Maybe it’s because your rights are being challenged and you don’t have time to worry about it, or maybe you’re annoyed by your people and just don’t want to worry about it anymore. There’s always a reason.

Chapter 360

As for what this reason is, they still need to explore it slowly in the future.

Perhaps the secret has something to do with the topic about the "nature of the world" that Master gave him.

"Bold assumptions and careful verification. As long as we are still exploring, these secrets will be known sooner or later. Let's go in and take a look."

With that said, Jiang Bai took the lead and entered the ruins.

Abedo smiled.

Just like Jiang Bai said, as long as he is alive, he will always complete the tasks assigned to him by his master.

Whether it’s ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years.

He will always figure out the secrets.

Jiang Bai took Abedo to the place where Hutao once encountered the corpse puppet. The former mausoleum had completely collapsed, completely exposing the bottomless underground cracks below.

Standing on the edge of the crack, looking at the huge underground canyon of unknown length and width, Jiang Bai sighed:

"I fell down last time and got lost in it. I couldn't find my way back, so I found the palace by mistake. I really may not be able to find it again."

Abedo was not worried, "It's okay. I brought a compass and looked in one direction. As long as I take the time, I can always find it."

What he lacks most is time.

"That's true, but I can't stay in there for too long."

As a laborer in the Rebirth Hall, even if he has no business to run, his hall master will be angry if he doesn't show up for too long.

"Yeah, me too." Abedo, who had Keli to take care of, felt deeply.

If Keli couldn't find him for too long, she didn't know how worried she would be.

"We can explore one direction in three days, and we can even map the places we have explored. This will also make it easier for us to find our way back."

"No problem." Jiang Bai took out the Four Directions Instrument. The usual Four Directions Instrument is a compass indicating the direction.

To be on the safe side, Jiang Bai compared his four-way meridian with Albedo's compass and felt relieved after confirming that north was in the same direction.

Jiang Bai pointed to the west, "Let's go in this direction first, I feel it should be in this direction."

"Ah."

The two of them hung lumen stones for lighting around their waists and took out paper and pen.

The crack was very wide, and the two of them flew close to the stone wall on one side while drawing the proposed map.

With the light of the Lumen Stone, there is no need to worry about getting lost.

After flying for who knows how long, Jiang Bai landed on a rock to rest, shouting to Albedo, "Did you find anything over there?"

"No. I feel like we've flown at least 5000 meters."

What is the concept of 5000 meters?It will take at least an hour to walk.

With such a long distance, this Grand Canyon has not yet reached its end.

"I don't feel right. I probably didn't fly this far last time."

Jiang Bai flew with Hu Tao last time. Even with the assistance of the wind element, he could not always maintain a height. After gliding such a long distance, he had already fallen under the canyon.

"That may be because we are going in the wrong direction." Abedo's response came from afar.

Because he was far away, Jiang Bai could no longer see Albedo's figure clearly. He could only see the light emitting from the lumen stone on his waist, like a large firefly.

"Take a rest, let's finish exploring this area and then turn around."

"it is good."

These huge underground cracks are not all of the same width. They are wide in some places and narrow in others. They are very irregular.

The two spent three days exploring both ends of the underground fissure, and saw no trace of the palace at all.

It was as if the palace had never existed.

"This is too evil!" Jiang Bai was puzzled.

Why is such a huge palace missing?

He took out the photo he took with Hu Tao at the palace. The photo was still there and the scenes in it were real, but the palace was missing!

Abedo is also very confused, but the existence of earth veins is not unexplainable.

He made a hypothesis:

"Is it possible that the palace you saw was just a temporary projection of the earth's veins? After the fluctuations of the earth's veins subsided, the projection disappeared..."

Jiang Bai scratched his hair, feeling very irritated.

Leyline, leyline, this leyline is truly omnipotent!

He was sure that the voice was directed at him. Maybe the palace appeared there due to his influence, but could that voice control the earth's veins?

Or was it some other way to get the palace out?

"It seems that I have no chance to find that place, so I can only put it aside for the time being." Abedo was not very discouraged.

It is normal to encounter difficulties, after all, exploring secrets cannot be smooth sailing.

The two sat beside the fire at the bottom of the canyon. The temperature in the canyon was relatively low. Abedo fiddled with the flames to make the fire burn brighter.

"There should be an ancient silver tree nearby. I saw a big spider living near the ancient silver tree before. This spider tastes very good. I will catch one for you to try later."

Hearing that the taste was very good, Jiang Bai's eyes lit up as soon as he rubbed it.

"Then I'll just wait!"

After resting for a while, Abedo walked into the darkness and soon brought back a big spider as tall as a person.

Although normal spiders have little meat and are difficult to use as food, when a spider is big enough, there is no problem of no meat.

Looking at the spider legs that were as thick as thighs, Jiang Bai knew that he was in for a treat.

The big spider that had lost its vitality was simply handled and the hairs on the spider were removed. Abedo tied the big spider tightly with gardenia and lemongrass, smeared it with white nutmeg, and slowly smoked it on the fire.

After roasting for about an hour or two, the alluring fragrance spread into the nasal cavity. Jiang Bai felt that his saliva was secreted extremely quickly, and he could hardly control it.

"Can you eat?"

"It will taste better if you smoke it for a while."

Abedo chuckled, the warm firelight reflecting on his face, making him particularly gentle.

He hasn't eaten this spider for a long time. The last time he ate it was when he was studying underground with his master.

He tore off a spider leg and handed it to Jiang Bai, "You taste it first."

Jiang Bai was not afraid of being burned, so he took the spider leg and started to chew on it.

Jiang Bai's eyes lit up as he tore off a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.

The meat of this spider is very unique. The meat is very fresh and tender, not fishy or woody, and the color is lemongrass and white cardamom. It is simply fragrant.

He decided to catch a few when he went back and bring them back to the hall to open their eyes to everyone.

Especially if you have to show off in front of Hu Tao.

Looking at the big spider that was still being smoked, Jiang Bai was thinking about what to leave to his hall master.

If you go back, you can still eat hot food.

After roasting for more than half an hour, the big spider finally reached its best state.

The two of them sat by the fire and gnawed on spider legs, sharing this rare delicacy. The rather cold ground was particularly warm.

Chapter 361: Hall Master, I brought it to you

A whole big spider, even if Jiang Bai and Abedo worked very hard to eat, there was still a lot left.

Fortunately, with Jiang Bai here, Abedo doesn't have to worry about food being wasted.
