C3 The Mysteries of the Ancient World
The first thing Zhang Fan did in the third floor of the house was take a bath. He casually trimmed his hair with a pair of scissors, revealing a handsome, angular face, wearing a set of white sports clothes that he had previously bought. He sat at a wooden desk, frowning slightly.
"The world has changed a lot over the past three years! I almost couldn't recognize him! " Zhang Fan skimmed through ten lines of headlines for all these years. After an unknown amount of time, he switched off the computer and opened the glass door. He walked to the wide balcony and looked at the sunset and the surging sea.
Three years ago, because he was good at deciphering ancient languages, he, who was just 22 years old and had just broken the record to become an associate professor of the archaeology department, suddenly received a call from Chen Geng, the vice principal teacher of Lingnan University, informing him that he was to lead a group of 178 students and teachers of the archaeology department on an archaeological mission that had suddenly been assigned to him by the country's upper echelons. He was to go to a primitive forest called Jiuyuan Creek, at the border between the province of Nanyang and Pingjiang.
At first, he thought it was a relic from more than five thousand years ago, but as archaeologists continued to dig deeper into the relic, the secrets they discovered became more and more shocking. Not only did they overturn the conclusion that China was only five thousand years old, they even pushed the history of Chinese civilization forward by tens of millions of years. At that time, not only did it cause a strong stir in China, it even caused a huge shock throughout the world.
With the heavy support of tens of thousands of the country's military, over half a year of cleaning and excavation had gradually lifted its mysterious veil. In front of the people of the world was a pile of ruins, but it was actually a grand and magnificent piece of stone buildings and ruins. These dilapidated stone buildings were several times larger than those common in the modern world. For example, the gate carved with mysterious patterns that reached ten meters, the huge white jade pillars that covered hundreds of meters, and the thousand-acre large stone plaza. Ordinary people looked especially small in front of these buildings. This shocked all the archaeologists at that time and made them think that they had found the remains of the ancient giant. However, the human skeletons that were dug up later on denied this guess, because the human bones were no different from normal people's.
After digging out the mysterious ancient ruins, although they looked extremely dilapidated and it was difficult to piece together their original appearances from their memories, through the restoration of modern data technology, Zhang Fan and the other archaeologists could still clearly see how prosperous and majestic this place was in the ancient times. It was something that was far beyond what any dynasty could compare to.
Not only did it subvert the history of China, it also subverted the understanding of the people of China. This was because in the ancient ruins, all sorts of broken ancient weapons and mysterious bone books were dug out. Although these weapons and bone books looked like they were made from gold and iron, in reality, these weapons had been scoured over a long period of time.
No matter which country's paleontologist was from, they wouldn't be able to tell what kind of ancient animal's skeleton it was. Furthermore, after its records were deciphered, it ignited the entire upper echelons of China's human society, because its records overturned the knowledge of modern humans, such as the cultivation methods of ancient humans and the secrets of ancient humans.
The excavation of the mysterious ancient ruins was a pleasant surprise, but as the excavation became deeper and deeper, it became more and more dangerous. It was like a land of curses, constantly devouring all those who tried to uncover its secrets. From the moment the ancient artifact bone books were unearthed, people who participated in the excavation suddenly died. Of course, the more dangerous the situation, the more it attracted the humans, regardless of whether they were alive or dead, and digging into the remains until the corpse of a middle-aged man dressed in beast skin clothing was dug out from the ancient ruins' underground palace, causing the whole matter to become even more terrifying and terrifying.
According to Zhang Fan and other authorities, the mysterious ancient ruins had existed for more than 30 million years, and the male corpses that were dug out from the sarcophagus of the central underground palace were not found yet, and were seen with their own eyes after opening the sarcophagus. Other than the presence of life, they looked as if they were alive, which caused the people who opened the underground palace to be shocked, after all, if they hadn't seen this with their own eyes, no one would believe it, and it could be said that it was the most miraculous discovery in the history of modern humans.
Of course, there were also things that they did not expect. When everyone opened the sarcophagus and saw that the man was still in a state of extreme shock, the universe within a thousand kilometers suddenly changed. Daytime turned into night, and a boundless darkness shrouded the world.
Standing in front of the sarcophagus, Zhang Fan could still clearly remember the scene from that day. Standing in front of the sarcophagus, his heart was still shaken, as if he had seen the corpse inside, and suddenly felt a great terror in his heart, which immediately made him want to escape no matter what he did. But before he could make a move, a boundless bloody light shrouded the world, and in an instant, he seemed to have seen the endless ages of ancient human beings flying in the sky, following the corpse man's lead, fighting against the endless ferocious beasts on the vast earth.
"The central underground palace of the ancient ruins was destroyed by the fury of the heavenly thunder, none of the tens of thousands of people who participated in the archaeological excavation survived! No one knew whose hands those items were now in! "What happened to that ancient corpse?" Zhang Fan gradually came back to his senses and sighed.
Although the center of the mysterious ancient ruin was destroyed under the wrath of the heavens, most of the things that were dug out from it had already been secretly moved away. After all, those things were extremely important, especially those recorded in the bone book.
"Over three years! Who knew how many of those people had deciphered it! There was no doubt that one could rely on cultivation to become strong! However, they were flying through the air and on the ground! An immortal that could give birth to and destroy the universe with a single thought? Buddha? God? Magic? Really? As for the Art of Immortality! The path of immortality! The Netherworld Kingdom! Ancient Heavenly Court! How much of this is true? " Zhang Fan, who was standing on the balcony in white clothes, gradually regained his composure. He recalled the bone book he had deciphered with his teacher.
It was unknown just what kind of creature had left behind the bone. After studying it for a while, one could see that its density was extremely great, its hardness was over ten thousand times harder than a diamond, but its quality was the same as normal animal bones. This caused many people to not be able to understand it. Of course, except for the fact that the bone shards were not simple, the words on them were even older than any known font. Every single word seemed to be the embodiment of the Dao, exuding a strange magic that not only made people who saw it forget what it looked like and what it meant, but could not even be copied.
When Zhang Fan was researching it, he had wanted to write it down on paper, but when he reached the last stroke, he could no longer write it down. When he was writing the last stroke, his body seemed to be pressed down by a mountain, and the pen and paper instantly turned into dust.
Zhang Fan and Chen Geng called them the Immortal Ancient Language, and they also spent a lot of time using the Oracle Bone Text and other ancient characters to deduce. Only then did they manage to decipher the Immortal Text on a piece of the bone fragment, and understood some of the secrets of ancient times, and knew that in ancient times, there existed the Immortal God or Buddha in the primordial world. As for the unearthed ancient corpse, it was actually still very lifelike after tens of millions of years of scouring. Zhang Fan had already treated it as an immortal corpse, but whether it was an immortal corpse was another story.
The events of the past few years in the subterranean world had completely overturned Zhang Fan's thoughts, leaving him with no other way but to sigh. But very quickly, he began to recall the events of the mysterious ancient ruins, and after awakening from the subterranean world, he had experienced all sorts of mysterious and magical events. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's great to be alive!"
After the great change that happened in the ancient ruins, Zhang Fan didn't know why he didn't die, why he appeared in a mysterious underground palace, and obtained a mysterious inheritance in this underground palace. In the following three years, he fought against the ancient demon beasts and evil spirits in the endless dark world, and after passing by the Death God countless times, he turned from a weak scholar who couldn't even hold a chicken in his hands into the current him.
"Is it like what the bone book predicted? A new era was about to begin, the end of which was about to come. The power of the laws of this world was reviving! The demonic beasts that had been expelled by the ancient people were about to return? With the strength of humans? How can we withstand their return? " After saying that, he turned around and walked into his room. He planned to have a good night's sleep no matter what. After all, he had not slept soundly in the past three years.
