This underground square is not only several thousand square meters. It's at least a few hundred thousand square meters! The scale was huge and there is no limit to it! In front of the square is a circle of railings. These railings were also carved with exquisite lion heads.
Are these railings supposed to be for people to enjoy the scenery? But in this underground palace, there is no scenery at all. There are only cold walls in front of it. And behind it is a huge palace! In front of the palace stands a huge door, which also has a lion’s head on it as well as a door ring!
Just above the gate, there are three big characters of a dragon, fly and Phoenix dancing.
Seeing this, Fang Shen suddenly realized it. The original purpose of this underground square was not to build it underground. All of these buildings, many years ago, were probably standing directly on the ground! And it’s very likely to be built in the mountains! The railings around the square, many years ago, must have been able to overlook the landscape! There may have been a sea or a river in front of it.
Perhaps some people hold the railings and look out from the distance. Some couples snuggle up to enjoy the scenery. And the city behind this, many years ago, may be an ancient temple deep in the mountains, although quiet, there must've been countless people living in it!
But one day, the whole building sank to the ground. From then on, there was only cold soil in front of the railings. The underground city, too, had its gates closed and no people were seen.
“But judging from the how well everything has been preserved, this should not have been an accident, but something deliberate right?”
What is the purpose of this? To avoid enemies? Or something else? It’s too big to sink the whole place into the ground. Fang Shen came to the gate of the city and rang the door ring. The dull voice echoed over the square, but for a long time there was no response.
Fang Shen stopped, but at this moment, Fang Shen saw something happen in the square in the middle, above the largest sculpture, there was a shining light!
Fang Shen went over. When he saw the following scene, he was extremely cautious and his scalp was numb.
On the top of the sculpture, there was a white figure sitting.
And this figure is just like the sculpture itself! It was just smaller in size.
Fang Shen breathed in deeply and approached slowly. At this time, the shape of the person is gradually clear. Surprisingly, it is the spirit of an old man.
Fang Shen in an instant thought of Liu Huihe and how she had said that besides being killed by innumerable wrongdoers, she also saw an old man with a white beard.
It would be better if the old man with white beard gave her a hand so that she could get out of her wrongdoings and return to the ground.
But at this time the old man’s white figure was somewhat blurred and seemed unsustainable.
Fang Shen came to the sculpture and looked at the old man's phantom figure. And then the old man opened his eyes.
Those eyes seemed to converge through countless times. The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face. At this time, however, the illusion on his face seemed unstable, and the face was somewhat fragmented, which made him look a little grim.
"I don't have much time." The old man pointed to a volume of books in his sculpture hand and a small box: “Come get these two things, as for the reason why, you will understand after reading it.”
Fang Shen had innumerable doubts in his mind, he wanted to a thousand things, but all of them now came together into three words: “Who are you?”
The old man smiled helplessly: “After reading this book, you will understand.”
Fang Shen asked again, “Do you know who I am?”
“I don’t.”
Fang Shen asked again, “Then why would you give me this?”
The old man’s broken face showed a slight smile: “Because of a bet.”
At this time, Fang Shen felt the ground shaking a little, he carefully looked at the square, unexpectedly it began to sink!
The old man said regretfully, “After you read this book, you can open the door with the contents of the box. Although there is no one in it, there are things, enough for you to practice for hundreds of years.”
Fang Shen was shocked. “You mean I’m going to stay in this ghost place for hundreds of years?”
The old man’s face showed a helpless smile: “My remaining spirit, sensed the presence of a huge spiritual power on the ground, and I am sure that this spiritual power was not of those people; The remnants of my spirit came to life, controlling the entire mountain gate to rise to the ground, but I did not expect that this huge spiritual power was just a tree, ha ha ha ha!”
The old man’s smile is quite crazy. If he were a living person, I’m afraid his tears would burst out at any moment. “Yesterday, the first person who came up on the platform was an ordinary peasant woman!” Hhha, it’s really hilarious.”
The old man talked without end, and Fang Shen could not understand him.
But all he knows right now is that he can’t stay here for hundreds of years! Otherwise, even if it can go up, if all of his family and friends have disappeared, what is the difference between that and death?
“Old man, tell me how to stop the square from sinking?”
The old man was immersed in self-mockery, but pointed to the tree roots that appeared on the square: “You want it to stop sinking, even rising, it’s very simple, as long as you can control these roots. Although I don’t know what the root is, I do know that the huge spiritual power hidden in it is probably less than one percent of me at the peak of that year.”
At this point, the old man put a smile on his face, showing a trace of dignity.
“Just control these roots?” Fang Shen breathed a sigh of relief.
Judging from the fact that he can pick the leaves of the spiritual tree, his life and death eyes should be the same as the spiritual tree. Fang Shen stepped forward and put his hands on the roots of the tree. He didn’t know what to do. He just opened his perspective eyes tentatively and then felt it hard in his mind.
Suddenly, Fang Shen felt only a fever in his eyes. It seemed to him that the eyes of life and death had made some connection with the spiritual tree.
“Pull this underground building up for me!” Fang Shen repeated the idea again and again in his heart. In an instant, huge spiritual powers suddenly emerged from the trunks.
Clap!
The underground palace seemed to have stopped sinking. The old man opened his mouth in an exaggerated manner. Then, the underground palace seemed to rise slowly! The old man shook his mouth and suddenly shouted happily, “Hha, the heavens have eyes, life is not absolute!”
The old man looked at Fang Shen with deathly eyes and solemnly said, “Boy, I entrust you with the door of Chenghua. From now on, you are the 18th head of the door of Chenghua!”
