The deeper they went into the valley, the darker and colder it became. In the end, except for Zhang Lei and Jianjun Hu, everyone else was so cold that they curled up into a ball. Even the fat man was curled up into a ball. His whole body trembled slightly, and they hurriedly put on some clothes.
After ten years of training, Jianjun Hu's physical fitness was relatively strong, so he could still withstand it for the time being. Only Lei Zhang seemed to be unaffected, still wearing a single shirt.
Everyone knew that this guy was abnormal, so they didn't say anything.
However, the speed of their progress was much slower. They even stopped to rest for a while to take care of Professor Chen's body.
By the time everyone arrived in front of the illusory stone statue that Zhang Lei had seen, the sky had already begun to brighten.
However, even though the sky had already begun to brighten, the valley was still gloomy. It was as if the sunlight could not penetrate the Yin Qi. It was unknown if the sunlight had been absorbed by the Yin Qi.
However, it was still much better than the pitch-black night. At least now, even Ye Yixin and Professor Chen could see up to 100 meters, while Zhang Lei's vision was basically unobstructed.
"Wow, this stone statue is so beautiful!”
With the light, people's mood was not so depressed. Ye Yixin could not help but exclaim when she saw the stone statue.
This was a stone statue of a woman. The stone statue itself was not tall. The reason why Zhang Lei thought it was very tall before was because there was a huge stone platform below the stone statue. The stone platform was 100 meters high. When the stone statue stood on it, it naturally looked tall and mighty.
In fact, the stone statue itself was about 1.7 meters tall, about the same size as a real person. Its body was curvy, and the clothes on it were extremely gorgeous. However, its face was carved into a veil, and its appearance could not be seen.
"Are you blind, girl? You said she was beautiful even when her face was covered. Is it because history records that she was the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions that you sighed?”
Fatty finally found an opportunity to attack Ye Yixin mercilessly.""In my opinion, this woman is probably too ugly to show her true face. Otherwise, would she have hidden it? But then again, her figure was really not bad. Even if the plate did not work, the strip was still smooth.”
Hearing Fatty's words, Zhang Lei's expression was a little strange." Why does this sentence sound like it was said in the original novel?"”
In the original novel, Commander Hu was supposed to say a few words, but at this moment, Commander Hu seemed to have not heard anything. His eyes were fixed on the stone platform under the stone statue, and he looked like he was deep in thought.
Professor Chen was also staring at the stone platform.
Zhang Lei was a little curious. Was there anything more beautiful than a beauty on the stone platform? Although this beauty was only a stone statue.
After taking a glance, he stopped. Other than the goddess statue, there were only seven black stone statues of mutated beasts on the stone platform.
Zhang Lei wasn't interested in these exotic beasts. He was more interested in the Queen Stone Statue.
Don't misunderstand, Zhang Lei was only interested in the stone statue's eyes.
At first glance, the stone statue's eyeballs did not seem to have any problems. It was just that the level of carving was very high, and the eyeballs were clearly black and white.
However, when one looked closely at these eyes, one would find that they were different. They seemed a little strange and even demonic.
Legend had it that the Queen of Jingjue had demonic eyes. The murals in the tombs of the King of the Yomi Kingdom and Prince Gumo were also painted like this. He did not expect that this stone statue could actually make people feel her demonic eyes.
"Mr. Hu, can you tell?”Professor Chen suddenly said.
Although Professor Chen didn't say what he saw, Jianjun Hu seemed to know what he meant." I feel like it's a bit like the Seven Star Life Extending Array, but I'm not sure."”
The conversation between the two immediately attracted everyone's attention, including Zhang Lei. He retracted his gaze and looked at the stone platform.
He knew that the two of them were referring to the seven black stone carvings of strange beasts placed around the statue of Queen Jingjue on the stone platform.
He hadn't paid attention to these stone statues before, but after hearing the conversation between the two, he immediately looked at them again.
Professor Chen said,"Mr. Hu is indeed knowledgeable. It must be the Seven Star Life Extending Formation."”
"What the hell is the Seven Star Life Extending Array? Can the two of you not play riddles?”Fatty Wang was anxious. He didn't know anything about this.
Professor Chen said," The so-called Seven Stars Life Extending Formation is said to be a formation that Qin Shihuang sent people to the Three Divine Mountains to ask for. It uses seven ancient beasts as the foundation of the formation and is arranged according to the corresponding positions of the Big Dipper in the sky. It absorbs the vitality between heaven and earth and the stars to extend people's lives. It was said that although this array could not grant immortality, it could extend one's life for a thousand years.”
"Tsk, if he's so powerful, why did Qin Shihuang die so long ago?”
Fatty Wang had a look of disdain on his face." These myths are all nonsense superstitious ideas. We revolutionary soldiers are all firm materialists. We should resolutely fight against superstitious ideas to the end…"
This damned fatty was here again.
Professor Chen didn't care about Fatty's tone. He smiled and continued,"Mr. Wang is right. The so-called immortality is impossible, and it is impossible to extend one's life for a thousand years. The birth, aging, illness, and death of living things are the laws of the universe. No medicine or so-called array can break this natural law.”
" However, the array we're talking about should indeed be the Seven Stars Life Extending Array. Combined with what we've obtained from Prince Gumo's tomb, I'm guessing that Queen Jingjue must have discovered that she was poisoned and that she couldn't detoxify it, so she wanted to use this array to maintain her life.”
" Yes, the professor is right."
Hu Jianjun nodded." The person who set up this array is quite smart. The spoon of the Big Dipper is right at the mouth of the valley. This way, the life force of the outside world can be sucked into the valley to extend the life of the queen..."
"This isn't the Seven Stars Life Extending Formation."
Jianjun Hu hadn't finished his sentence when Lei Zhang spoke.
"Oh?"
Jianjun Hu, Professor Chen, and the others immediately looked at Lei Zhang in surprise.
。。。。。
It's almost three o'clock. Is there anyone who hasn't slept yet? Do you want to come out and chat?
