The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 2: Post-civilization era

Views:

The cattle, sheep and other livestock seemed to be frightened and almost broke through the fence. The herdsmen stopped them and shouted loudly. Several Tibetan mastiffs, which are usually very fierce, were lying low on the ground, roaring and feeling very uneasy.

At the same time there were children crying and women comforting them.

Several old herdsmen were praying very devoutly. In the end, they knelt down and kowtowed towards the tall mountains in the distance, very solemnly.

The herdsmen were not surprised by Chu Feng's arrival, because outsiders often passed by and stayed in the herdsmen's tents.

After a long time, the noise at the foot of the mountain became weaker.

Chu Feng scrubbed his body with hot water and drank the fragrant butter tea. His fatigue immediately subsided a lot. He gave all the candies on his body to the children.

The children's faces were flushed, plateau red, with shy smiles, and they looked very simple. After sharing the candies, they dispersed in a rush, very happy and satisfied.

What exactly happened in this mountainous area not long ago was a question in Chu Feng's mind. Could it be that the almost eerie blue Bibi flowers once bloomed here

The old herdsman in the tent had gray hair and deep wrinkles on his face, with obvious worry. He looked outside the tent and stared at the mountains in the distance.

Soon, Chu Feng learned that blue mist had indeed appeared here, lingering in the mountains. Many livestock were frightened by this and became very irritable and wanted to escape.

However, there are no weird blue Higan flowers, and the fog is very thin.

"Why do you kowtow to the mountain?" Chu Feng asked.

"That's the direction of the Holy Mountain." the old herdsman replied.

Kunlun is known as a sacred mountain and a holy mountain. It has the strongest mythological color. There are many records in various ancient books from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" to "Huainanzi" to "Historical Records".

Earlier, there was only a shallow layer of blue fog near this mountainous area, but some people saw that in the direction of the Kunlun Mountains, it was extremely blue.

The fog there was raging, crystal clear, and dense and boiling. Later, it became like a beam of light, with blue light surging and blazing clouds, which were very powerful.

It was as if there was a dazzling blue sun wrapped in thick fog, floating there. Although it was far away, it shot out light from time to time, like lightning.

Looking from a distance, it is extremely mysterious, the blue light is bright, constantly flying, and extremely dazzling.

Therefore, some old herdsmen kowtowed in that direction and prayed devoutly.

Obviously, the vision there was extremely astonishing. The blue mist was so thick that it could not be melted away, with a blazing glow, which was even worse than what Chu Feng had seen in the desert.

What caused these strange scenes? Chu Feng thought.

He thought of a possibility, maybe it was caused by an earthquake in the mountains.

In the past, something similar happened in a place where thunder often broke out in the valley and struck living creatures.

If a severe earthquake occurs in the mountains, it may cause extremely high magnetic field anomalies. Under the electromagnetic field effect, the charges in the clouds and the magnetic field in the mountains interact, causing charge discharge. Coupled with the aurora effect, the area is colorful and becomes a very special thunderstorm. District, very different from normal.

Chu Feng was not superstitious and felt that most of what happened in the mountains was just a natural phenomenon.

However, no matter how he explained, the old herdsmen didn't believe anything he said, and glared at him, thinking that he had desecrated the holy mountain, and almost drove him away.

In fact, there are indeed some things that are unreasonable and far-fetched, and even Chu Feng himself has not completely understood them, such as the charming flowers in the desert not long ago.

He sighed that in this "post-civilization era", there are many things that remain unexplained. Although people try to explain things using the laws of the past, the world is becoming increasingly difficult to understand.

The war once semi-destroyed the land and almost turned it into wasteland. Although after a long period of recovery, the land was once again full of life, the glorious era of the past was ultimately difficult to restore.

In the relatively long years of the post-civilization era, there have been several mysterious changes that have had a great impact, but which have yet to be solved.

In the early morning, the red sun jumped out of the horizon, and the brilliant morning glow slid over the hills and fell on the grass in front of the tent, showing a vibrant scene.

Chu Feng bid farewell to this tribe and hit the road again.

He headed west and entered the plateau.

Along the way, he learned that the mysterious blue mist affected a wide range of areas, at least it had appeared in all the areas he traveled.

"Isn't this another mysterious incident?" he said to himself.

Several times in history, there have been big turmoils, but there is still no definite answer.

The sky in Tibetan areas is extraordinarily blue, and the clouds are white and very low to the ground, as if you can touch them with just a little stretch of your hand. The Gobi, mountains, and grasslands are all very quiet, and it feels like a pure land uncontested by the world.

Along the way, Chu Feng heard many rumors.

Some herdsmen said that the living Buddha on the holy mountain has awakened, so there is blue light flowing and heavy fog filling the air, covering all directions.

Others say that the Rudraksha tree is growing and will bear fruit.

"The Dragon Mastiff is about to be born!" someone also said.

In the eyes of local people, real mastiffs are born in the wild and can be enemies of ligers and tigers, while those raised by people are not real mastiffs. There is also a legend that there is a dragon mastiff in the holy mountain, and one can appear every few hundred years, which is extremely powerful and can subdue demons.

A few days later, Chu Feng approached the Holy Mountain area.

He has learned that there has been a faint blue mist in various places along the way. It is probably the same as the previous times in history, and it is another major change.

At the same time, this also means that, like the previous times, ordinary people will never understand the internal cause!

Even most people don't know what the consequences will be.

It is strange to say that it is already late autumn, and the weather in Tibetan areas should be very cold. However, in recent days, as Chu Feng traveled westward, he gradually felt a warmth.

A few days ago, the yellow leaves were withering and the ground was full of fallen leaves, but now it is different.

The remaining leaves on the tree seem to have regained their vitality, no longer withered and yellow, no longer falling.

Especially near Kunlun, along the way, whether it is weeds or thorn trees, they are green and vibrant in the warm weather.

It's late autumn, but it lacks that kind of desolation.

"The weather is getting warmer. Is it caused by changes?" Chu Feng guessed.

Finally, Kunlun Mountain is in sight.

From a distance, I felt a sense of oppression.

The towering mountains are majestic, continuous and magnificent, just like the backbone of heaven and earth, lying there.

It is magnificent and majestic, unparalleled, and there is no other mountain like it in ancient times.

This mountain range carries endless legends and has been shrouded in a very strong mythological color since ancient times.

Originally, Chu Feng was about to return after entering the Tibetan area. However, he kept hearing strange movements in Kunlun Mountain along the way. Zeng Languangshuoshuo wanted to take a closer look.

"right here."

When Chu Feng arrived at his destination, he stood at the foot of the mountain. The towering mountain was like a giant city of gods, majestic and huge. It was located on the western land, and the vast and majestic atmosphere rushed towards him.

This is only a small section of the Kunlun Mountains. In the evening a few days ago, this area used to be blazing with blue light, and everyone nearby saw it, but these days few people dare to really get close.

Chu Feng entered the mountain and gradually climbed up.

The mountains are getting higher and steeper, and there are huge boulders. The road is getting harder and harder to walk, and the vegetation along the way is lush and green, which is obviously abnormal in this late autumn season.

"Did an earthquake really happen a few days ago?" Chu Feng observed.

There are traces of cracks on the mountain, and there are many large cracks on the surface. There are also boulders that have obviously rolled down from higher places on the mountain, and some cliffs have broken off.

It was in this huge mountain that something unusual happened.

"What's this?"

Chu Feng saw a huge stone with words on it. The carvings were deep and most of them were buried by earth and rocks.

After the earthquake, small parts of the mountain fell off and slid, and the huge boulder was revealed from deep underground.

There is a layer of green on the boulders, like dry moss.

"West...King!"

Chu Feng touched the carvings on the stone with his hand and recognized these two characters. They were bronze inscriptions, a very ancient writing that was often engraved on bells and tripods in ancient times.

It is difficult for ordinary people to identify.

For a moment, Chu Feng was distracted by his thoughts. How could it be these two words

Seeing the word Xiwang here, how can we not make people think that there really was a Queen Mother of the West in those ancient times

"Maybe it's just the inscriptions left by the ancients who came here to pay their respects." Chu Feng shook his head and explained himself.

"Something's wrong!"

Suddenly, he was stunned. When he touched the carving marks, he found that the so-called "dry moss" was abnormal.

"Green patina!" This discovery shocked him.

This monument was once covered in dust and buried in the mountain. If you think about it carefully, there would be no moss on it. It had gone through a very long period of time, and it did not see the light of day again until after the violent earthquake.

It's actually made of bronze!

However, such a large piece of bronze is rare.

"The Simuwu Ding unearthed from the Yin Ruins is less than two thousand kilograms, so it is known as the largest ancient bronze artifact, and this bronze stele..."

Chu Feng pushed away some earth and rocks, and conservatively estimated that this piece of bronze must weigh at least five or six thousand kilograms. It was really shocking. In ancient times, this was definitely a rare and valuable item.

It is green and rusty, and it looks like an ancient relic that has been buried for a long time.

If it was a stone monument, Chu Feng thought it was someone who came here to pay their respects. But now that it was such a big bronze monument, he was not sure.

In that distant ancient time, who could afford it just for the sake of nostalgia
