READ WEBNOVEL Chapter 39 The truth hidden under the ruins of time
[It's bad, this is the rhythm of another big thing happening]
[I see that the expressions of these three people are unusual, only the fat man is still out of the situation]
[Fatty: Who are you scolding? It seems that none of you are in the situation]
Xue Liyang walked in front of Ye Shi, she glanced at Lao Hu, her tone was indescribable,
"Brother, you said that the Kingdom of Jingjue suddenly disappeared one day, and since then there has been no news of it in history"
"Before we came here, we speculated based on the known information. We originally thought that a terrible sandstorm blew here two thousand years ago, so the Kingdom of Jingjue was annihilated"
"I didn't expect that after following you, this possibility was completely overturned"
Xue Liyang's expression was very heavy, she continued,
"But we never thought that the truth behind the disappearance of this Western Region country was to seek the method of immortality"
"The Queen of Jingjue and the High Priest of Jingjue offered countless Jingjue people as sacrifices to the ghost cave"
Her words echoed in the empty surroundings, making those who heard it not know how to react
When hearing this truth buried in history,
no one could contain their shock.
Ye Shi already knew this and nodded.
"Yes, the snake people we saw are the monsters created by these people in order to achieve immortality."
"Their immortality technique should be related to the genes of snakes, through which snakes shed their skins continuously and survive forever."
"The envoy from the Tang Dynasty obviously also wanted this immortality technique, but unfortunately, because of his identity, his immortality technique was fake."
Xue Li Yang nodded, and hesitated to speak. Finally, Lao Hu asked,
"Brother, do you know the curse of the ghost cave?"
Ye Shi nodded,
"I know."
"The curse of the ghost cave, according to science, is that the iron element in the blood will gradually lose and turn into mud yellow and gradually solidify, and finally die painfully at around 40 years old."
[No way, how can there be such a bizarre thing in the world]
[Wait a minute, I remember Xue Li Yang is also a member of the ghost cave tribe, so...]
[Is there still no way to break this curse with current medical methods? 】
【If it could be solved, Xueli Yang and the others would not come here】
【The method of immortality is related to snakes, which is too scary. Even if I die, I definitely don’t want to become a snake man】
【I remember Ye Shen emphasized many times that Jingjue is a country of death. I feel like there is something that has not been said yet】
【You made me think of a possibility, that is, everyone in Jingjue is cursed by this ghost cave, no way】
Ye Shi didn’t expect that netizens were just guessing randomly, but they actually guessed it right.
So he looked at the camera and nodded,
"Yes, you are right, the entire Jingjue Kingdom is infected with this curse, and everyone will die around the age of 40"
"But this is not without reason"
Ye Shi continued: "That is because the high priest of the ancient city of Jingjue has the ability of a prophet, so he peeked into a mysterious corner. He saw the real Zhuchen Pearl, and then asked people to imitate the real Zhuchen Pearl in an attempt to spy on the ghost cave."
"Under this behavior, doom is coming, and no one can escape"
Old Hu sighed, his expression was complicated, and his tone was indescribable,
"I really don't know why you know everything, brother, you are really like a god"
"In fact, the reason why we came here is to find the Zhuchen Pearl to solve the curse on Xue Liyang... I didn't expect to meet you, brother, and know so many stories buried under the yellow sand."
The fat man was a little confused,
"So, you haven't said why Jingjue Kingdom disappeared? Xue Liyang said it was because of the art of longevity? So all the people in Jingjue Kingdom were turned into snake people to avoid the curse?"
[Thanks to our mouthpiece - Mr. Fatty for his brilliant appearance]
[Good question, I was also confused by what Ye Shen and the others said, it felt like they were talking about different things]
After hearing this question, Ye Shi explained,
"I said that because they peeped into the ghost cave and created a fake Zhuchen Pearl, they were cursed. It was caused by the original people of Jingjue Kingdom. That was a period after the Shang and Zhou dynasties."
"Although they were cursed, the jade eyeball could indeed peek into the depths of the ghost cave."
"And as I mentioned before, during the Tang Dynasty, that is, two thousand years ago Before, the people of the mysterious clan came, and they brought unimaginable longevity techniques."
"Therefore, the chief priest of the Jingjue Kingdom during the reign of the Queen of Jingjue sacrificed the people of Jingjue in exchange for the power from the ghost cave."
"As for what Xue Liyang said, before she came, she thought that the Jingjue Kingdom disappeared because of the sandstorm, which was actually correct."
"It was just that after the sacrifice to the ghost cave, it triggered the celestial phenomenon, a big storm blew, and the yellow sand completely covered the Jingjue Kingdom."
"Since then, the ancient history has been completely hidden under the ruins of time."
