"Go


    Li Yao suddenly got up and said in a deep voice, "I''d like to have a good look. What is the so-called" Avenue "of her?"


    Under the leadership of Li Jialing, Li Yao pushed out the door and found himself in a stalagmite as thick as a giant tree.


    The diameter of this stalagmite is at least 20 meters or 30 meters. Many caves and rooms are hollowed out in the middle. Outside, there are spiral stairs for shuttling up and down.


    He leaned his head out of the stairs and looked down. It was at least tens of meters away from the ground, but he was obscured by a layer of hazy fog and could not see the depth clearly.


    Naturally, there won''t be fog in the underground world. Li Jialing told Li Yao that these are all mushroom powder, which are the main plants in the underground world.


    Looking up, there are dozens of small suns hanging powerlessly on the top of the rock, which is about a few hundred meters high. Li Yao estimates that it is some kind of artificial long-term stable output lighting array, but no matter how long the stable output can resist the erosion of thousands of years. Now, these "small suns" seem to be gnawed by moths, Not only the light is so dim that it is better than nothing, but there are also mottled black spots on the surface, just like moldy light cakes.


    Under the dual effects of dim light and mushroom powder, the whole underground town of 10084 is shrouded by a layer of rolling fog, which adds a sense of mystery.


    The construction of underground towns is more three-dimensional and magical than that of cities on the ground. Mines and stalagmites are intertwined. Tunnels and stalagmites crisscross each other. The traces of human civilization are constantly expanding in the cracks of the rocks, just like vines trying to stretch out, occupying all the space that can be accommodated up and down.


    The towering stone pillar on which Li Yao stands, if you look at it, at least dozens of similar pillars stand beside it, constituting the main body of the town.


    The stone pillars are connected by thick iron ropes.


    However, many underground people in gray cloaks ride on a kind of giant bipedal lizard with dark red skin and shuttle between the iron ropes skillfully. This kind of bipedal lizard''s claws are similar to bird''s claws. It can easily hold the iron rope and even hang upside down under the iron rope. With the help of the reverberating force of the iron rope, it can easily jump tens of meters away, often three or two times, You can jump from one pillar to another.


    People shuttle between the stone pillars, the iron rope is constantly shaken by the red lizard, the sound of "Hua La Hua" is heard all the time, and another kind of "hem and haw" from all directions, together constitute the main tone of 10084 town.


    Li Jialing told Li Yao that these red mounts are red lizards. They seem to be the product of gene modulation and belong to a kind of spirit beast. So they seem ferocious and ferocious. In fact, they are more tame than cattle and horses. They are the best helpers for underground people to climb up and down in three-dimensional towns.


    As for the sound of "humming and chirping" around us, it is that rock insects are eating - this is a town mainly based on animal husbandry, and breeding rock insects is the source of livelihood for most people. Rock insects are not really like insects, but fat creatures like pigs, and they are also genetically modified spirit beasts. Their digestive system has been specially strengthened to devour rocks Moss and all kinds of mushrooms can absorb the nutrients in the bad feed to the greatest extent and transform them into fat and protein for human consumption. In the underground world, moss is a very popular staple food.


    Near this geological belt, five digit underground towns such as 10084 district often focus on breeding rock insects. Most of the rock insects are not eaten by themselves, but transported to the upper four digit towns in exchange for energy and various industrial products, so that these forgotten residents can keep the last spark of civilization.


    Li Yao strolls around the town, carefully observing the details of stalagmites, iron ropes and streets, feeling that this seemingly medieval town is full of contradictions everywhere.


    The stone pillar on which he has just established is not a pure natural product. Instead, it seems that there was a very developed civilization. First, hollow steel cylinders were erected under the ground, and then materials such as liquid metal or concrete were gradually laid on it. Only in this way can the "stone pillars" with tens of meters thick and hundreds of meters long have enough strength.


    On the side of the rugged streets and the potholes of the tunnel, layers of moss and vines can be peeled off, and you can see a neat layout, exquisite routing of pipelines, connecting all the stone pillars together. It should be some kind of large-scale wired spiritual network system, but it can be seen that it has not been used for a long time, and Li Yao did not feel any spiritual reaction from the fine crystal lines.


    In many places, if you tear the moss layer by layer, you can see the rusty metal walls. When Li Yao tries to wipe away the rust one by one, you can see the smooth surface like a mirror, the hairy seams, and the lines of square characters.


    Some big characters are slogans to remind people, such as "there is a Dharma array inside, no admittance to others". Others are the serial numbers of troops, such as "it should be."


    Li Jialing said, "sister long''s view is similar to brother Yao''s. a long time ago, it was really a very advanced refuge or underground base, magic warehouse and so on."


    Li Yao folded his fingers, flicked the steel plate, listened to the detailed echo with breath holding, and said, "how could it be like this?"


    Li Jialing said: "sister long gave me two examples. The first one is geological fault. With the vicissitudes of time, the more ancient creatures or civilizations, the more they will be covered by soil and rocks and gradually fall into the depths of the earth.


    "If we cut the earth open to reveal faults like a thousand layer cake, and then study the fossils embedded in the faults, we will find that the more fossils are found in the upper layer, the younger the age is, and the more fossils are buried in the depths of the earth, the more ancient creatures and even civilizations they represent."


    Li Yao nodded: "this is very easy to understand, what else?"


    "And the ocean."


    Li Jialing said, "the unfathomable ocean is a three-dimensional ecosystem from top to bottom. With the changes of sunlight, temperature, salinity, density and pressure of the sea, it is also a non-interference ecosystem layer by layer. The fish living in the shallow sea may not dive into the bottom of the sea for thousands or even tens of thousands of meters, The giant squid, which lives tens of thousands of meters deep, will never look forward to the warmth of the sun. Although it is also a marine creature, the upper and lower layers have long formed two worlds of old age and death


    "What can these two examples illustrate?" Li said


    "Sister long said that human civilization has developed for 100000 years. From the ancient world of cultivation 40000 years ago to the modern civilization of cultivation today, in fact, different classes have been gradually differentiated. Human beings living on different levels are like fossils formed in different ages or marine organisms inhabiting at different depths. They have long been people of different worlds, Even if we don''t use "real people" or "original people" to distinguish them, this kind of difference is doomed to exist. Hiding our ears and stealing our bells and turning a blind eye can not solve the problem. "


    Li Jialing said, "as early as the age of Guxiu 40000 years ago, the erosion of the strong to the weak never stopped for a day or even a second. The weak who could not resist the strong had to flee.


    "Some of the weak fled from the plain to the rugged and barren mountain areas, while others wandered to the depths of the earth and fled to deeper places step by step with the claws of the strong.


    "At first, this kind of escape was only scattered, spontaneous and unsystematic.


    "Forty thousand years ago, at the beginning of the great dark age, when the demons took the place of the Terrans to rule the sea of stars, those humans who were unwilling to be ruled by the demons were the main force of the first large-scale" underground March. ".


    "When the cruel rule of the demon clan was overthrown 10000 years ago, the Terran launched bloody revenge killing against the demon clan. The Terran full of hatred and anger for 30000 years vowed to kill the last demon clan, so there was a second large-scale escape to the ground, but this time the fugitives became the demon clan.


    "The good time is not long. As soon as the star sea Empire established by the Terrans crossed the threshold of ruling for a thousand years, it was faced with the most brutal civil war. The war swept almost every world. Countless Terrans who used to fight against the demon clan hand in hand broke up one after another and became deadly enemies. As a result, the third large-scale underground escape followed one after another.


    "The next ten thousand years are the bloody years of endless wars in the Xinghai sea. Such places as Antarctica and tianjixing are the centers of war. It is not surprising that countless people who have lost their homes flee to the ground wave after wave.


    "Generation after generation of fugitives constitute the main body of the underground residents, and regard the shelters, military bases and magic warehouses built by various races and forces in the past dynasties as new homes. This is the origin of most underground towns.


    "Naturally, the later the residents escape to the ground, the shallower they tend to live on the ground. However, the earlier the residents escape to the ground, their living space is constantly squeezed by the latecomers, so they have to continue to flee downward and gradually settle down to the bottom, such as here."
