Cultivation Of Coders

Chapter 563 Ruins

The characteristics of this fourth mural are striking. The young man is the main god of dusk in Yuanchen Pavilion, the True Monarch of the God of War of the Shenting Federation.

The mural expresses that he is fighting to protect the Heavenly World. The only thing whose meaning is unclear is the dog rider of the three-headed hellhound. Shrouded in darkness, hiding in the shadows, not knowing what to do!

After clearing his mind, Zhang Deming continued walking down.

The fifth picture is a continuation of the fourth picture, and the coherence is very strong.

I saw a huge corpse lying in front of the young man holding a three-pointed two-edged knife. The corpse was densely covered with tentacles, arms, and vertical eyes, and the whole body was in a cylindrical shape, which was simply indescribable.

But the person in the painting is obviously dead, killed by the young man. The young man seems to be injured at this moment, and is holding a long knife in a somewhat weak manner. The dog beside him is also injured in various places.

Behind the young man, the figure in the shadow riding a three-headed hellhound had already jumped out and rushed towards the injured young man.

The faces of the beings below were full of horror. In the sun in the sky, a golden book shone brightly, illuminating the world. There were lines of text flowing on the book, which seemed to have changed the world.

······

Is this... a sneak attack?

Judging from the style of painting and the considerable size, isn't the man riding the dog also the main god?

Why sneak attack on another main god?

Are you still engaged in such a foreign war?

Zhang Deming continued walking and came to the sixth painting. This painting was messy and abstract, making it difficult to guess.

The boy representing the God of War inserted a long knife into the shadow's body, and the shadow used something vague to press on the boy's forehead.

The tearing between the two dogs was even more exaggerated. The black dog lost two front legs, and the three-headed dog lost two heads. Even so, the two dogs were still fighting.

The book in the sky still flickered, but under its illumination, the unspeakable dead body changed, turning into a strange gray mist that filled the crowd.

Among the crowd, three people were shown in close-up. They were covered in the bloody and divine blood of the sky, and they shone in the mist.

When these three paintings are combined, Zhang Deming probably understands. From what we know so far, it should be about the past of Xiao Heavenly World and the cause of its current situation.

So this place was most likely built by the people who survived?

Are the first three pictures just speculation, or what?

How true is it?

Looking at the level of information reflected in this painting, Zhang Deming couldn't tell how much of it was real, and this thing was too abstract. He was completely confused and guessing, and was a bit speechless.

While thinking, Zhang Deming continued to move forward and saw another painting. What surprised Zhang Deming was that this painting was blurred.

It looks like it is not scratched by someone's claws like before, but is blurred. It is obviously a carving on the wall, but it is like an ink painting, and it has become a mess!

Zhang Deming frowned. He originally saw that the six murals here were not affected. He thought that this place was built after the fall of the gods and would not be affected.

I didn’t expect there to be blurred murals!

So the first three pictures are nonsense?

Zhang Deming can understand that the last three paintings are not blurry, after all, the previous ones involving this God of War seem to be all blurry.

As his thoughts flickered, Zhang Deming no longer saw the continued murals. It seemed that there were only seven murals, and he wondered if they had any meaning.

······

After Zhang Deming walked forward for a certain distance again, the corridor in front of him suddenly became empty, and a huge dome hall appeared in front of Zhang Deming.

I don’t know what the people who built this place were thinking. The dome hall with a height of more than 100 meters gives people an extremely shocking feeling.

The main hall is very huge and empty. In the main hall, there is a statue of a young man dozens of meters high, holding a three-pointed two-edged sword, with three eyes open, overlooking the entrance, and a big black dog following at his feet.

The statue is gray and white. I don't know what kind of rock it is carved from, or it may be purely shaped by magic. After all, it is such a large volume that it is very difficult to carve it normally, and it is difficult to get it into such a place.

There is a two-meter-high sarcophagus in front of the statue's feet. Although it is still larger than a normal coffin, it is nothing compared to the statue.

In the entire hall, there should be an extremely shocking dome painting on the dome above the head. It is the only one with strong colors that occupies the entire spherical dome.

But now...it's all turned into a lump, and no trace can be seen. The only thing that is not blurry is the various sacrificial runes scattered throughout the hall. Other than that, there are no other decorations.

Zhang Deming came to the sarcophagus that was about two meters high and five or six meters long, feeling a little nervous, because if he understood correctly, this was the legendary tomb of the God of War?

He saluted the statue and whispered: "I'm sorry, boss, you are leaving anyway. I will use this waste to benefit the surviving people of Xiao Heavenly World. I think you can understand it!"

After saying some comforting words that he didn't quite believe, Zhang Deming began to throw out several formation cards, and then activated the spirit-nurturing summons. His cultivation reached the Five Elements stage, and after being prepared for the formation, Zhang Deming felt slightly moved.

A few emerald rattans swayed on the ground, pushing the sarcophagus open little by little. Contrary to imagination, there was no sudden situation, and it was surprisingly calm.

There is no hidden hand, no strange pollution, no curse, not even... nothing!

Zhang Deming was floating. When he nervously and cautiously pushed open the coffin lid, Mao didn't notice that it was an extremely empty coffin.

"Fucking wool, all these messy sacrificial runes are engraved here, and I can't detect through perspective. It's so exaggerated, you tell me it's a clothes tomb? Or a clothes tomb without even a piece of clothing?"

Zhang Deming, who did not believe in evil, carefully searched the entire hall inch by inch, but found nothing else.

"Is it really an empty tomb?"

Zhang Deming looked at the statue speechlessly, and then at the empty hall around him. He found nothing else, so he shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked back along the passageway he came from.

There were still many penthouses and the direction of the entrance that he had not explored before. He hoped that the guarded penthouses would not disappoint him.

······

In his thoughts, he turned around and drifted back. After passing seven mural areas, Zhang Deming came to the ear room area.

Following the first fork in the road, Zhang Deming floated in. There were also murals on the walls, but they were still blurry, which made Zhang Deming frown a little.

If this is really a cemetery, then these... should be personal life stories or something, right? Does such a vague situation mean that... the people buried here are also people from the Shenting era?

In his thoughts, Zhang Deming came to the bottom of Langfang, where there is also a main hall. The entire main hall is very similar to the main hall that Zhang Deming first experienced when he walked in through the tree hole.

The size, layout, everything is similar. Even the stone platform and coffin in the middle should be of the same specifications, but the ones here are not broken.

The only difference is that there is a huge statue in the center of the main hall. Of course it is not comparable to the main room, but it is still huge.

What made Zhang Deming frown was that the statue was not a human being, but a pure animal, a gray-white giant ape. There was a complete sarcophagus in front of the giant ape's feet.

As before, Zhang Deming arranged a lot of defenses, and after carefully opening the sarcophagus, he found another empty tomb without any clothes.

With his brows furrowed even more, Zhang Deming turned around again and drifted away, returning to the main passage and walking towards the loop.

In this way, Zhang Deming went through seven main halls in a row, all of which were covered with murals on Langfang. There was an empty tomb with a statue in the main hall.

The statues are all not human, but animals. They are: white ape, buffalo, dog, wild boar, centipede, white snake and goat.

Seven animal statues and seven halls, all of which are empty tombs, guard the main tomb chamber backwards, seeming to express some meaning or relationship.

If Zhang Deming remembered correctly, after he came to the main passage and chose a direction to go forward, he experienced a total of eight forks along the way.

So he frowned, with some expectation, and entered the last fork he passed before.

He hadn't noticed it before, but after experiencing the main hall and the seven secondary halls, Zhang Deming discovered that the age of this eighth passage was obviously different.

It looks like...the main wing hall was added many years after the construction was completed here.

After walking forward for a while, Zhang Deming was slightly surprised to find that the mural on the wall was no longer blurry, but looked like it had been scratched with dog claws just like the passage he came from.

Although he still didn't get the information, this change made Zhang Deming a little happy. Different means there is improvement!

Quickly drifting to the end of the passage, the main hall here is completely the same as the main hall when Zhang Deming entered. There are no statues, only an unbroken coffin placed on the central stone platform.

Zhang Deming carefully came to the coffin with some expectations, and took the trouble to set up defenses. Zhang Deming once again used vines to pry open the sarcophagus.

As soon as a gap was opened, a strong and strange aura came out, causing the formation arranged by Zhang Deming to flicker continuously, and several layers were destroyed in an instant.

The moment the emerald-like vines came into contact with the rich aura, they began to twist, as if they were about to give birth to consciousness. Countless crazy thoughts, following the connection between the spells, rushed straight into Zhang Deming's mind.

Zhang Deming's expression changed slightly, the vines collapsed, and he stepped back a distance in fear, watching from a distance.

Fortunately, he was more careful and had a more complete arrangement. Otherwise, if this thing suddenly looked at him like this, he would have had no idea what the consequences would be. It would probably be enough for him.

As if due to the long-lasting dust, the extremely corrosive aura inside took a few breaths before slowly stopping and becoming as if it were nothing.

Seeing this, Zhang Deming floated back again, and carefully grew a vine again. After testing it for a while, and found that the same change did not occur, he followed the gap that he had pried open before, and slowly opened the entire sarcophagus lid. Pushed away.

Um?

This is······?

After seeing the scene in the coffin clearly, Zhang Deming was stunned. There was still nothing in the coffin, even less than the previous seven coffins.

This coffin even has no bottom!

That's right, there is a dark cave under the coffin, like a huge mouth of an abyss, choosing people to eat.

So, the corpse that was originally buried here also had a problem and escaped?

That’s right. Since this is a tomb of gods, it’s only right to bury gods. People shouldn’t be buried here. People from later generations will be buried here. If this is really the place where gods fell, wouldn’t the aura of gods affect the changes? It’s inevitable!

Zhang Deming looked at the dark cave in front of him, frowning for a while, and hesitated whether to continue.

Forget it, we’re here now, we can’t give up halfway!

And now there is obviously no way out of the Zhang family. Now we can only pin our hopes here. Anyway, the worst thing is that the Taoist body will be destroyed!

Thinking of this, Zhang Deming no longer hesitated, turned his head and looked at Xiao Lei on his shoulder and said: "Little guy, if you feel uncomfortable, remember to call immediately!"

"Woo..." Xiao Lei responded to Zhang Deming in a whimpering voice, seeming to express that he understood.

Seeing this, Zhang Deming ignored it and floated up into the cave.

······

The cave is different from the one we came from. This cave is not sloping, but straight down, and seems to be vertical. It is trumpet-shaped, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. When the cave expanded six or seven times, it stopped expanding.

Zhang Deming floated downward for a moment, without feeling the tendency of falling to the bottom, so he simply removed the buoyancy and fell downward.

The cave seemed to be unusually deep. Zhang Deming felt that he had fallen for a long time before his mind moved slightly and his speed began to slow down suddenly. When his speed returned to zero, he just rushed out of the cave without falling to the ground.

He seemed to appear in the sky? !

Zhang Deming looked up and saw a white cloud above his head, which he just fell out of. A vine stretched out, pierced into the clouds, and returned to the cave, making Zhang Deming breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, if anything goes wrong, I can still go back. So... this is an underground world?

In other words, Xiao Heavenly World is a multi-layered honeycomb space?

Or did he simply come to another heaven?

The reason for this idea is that the magical firewall here seems to have become very weak.

With such surprise, Zhang Deming began to look around. The sky was not high, and there were endless white clouds as far as the eye could see. It looked a bit fake, as if it was made by an advanced illusion array, which could already produce reality and reality.

When Zhang Deming saw the entire ground, he was completely stunned.

The entire ground has been deserted for who knows how many years. There are many plants growing on it, but the plants are all very deformed. They are twisted and twisted, like ghosts, but they are shiny and fleshy.

This is not the main thing. The main thing is that after Zhang Deming saw the traces on the ground through the vegetation, he discovered that... here seemed to be a battlefield relic!
