Wizard Academy - Chapter 142
[Chapter 88 Textile Industry]
The history of the earth and those myths and legends now not only trouble Jiang Zhu, but also trouble modern people.
In the past, modern people thought that Earth and the Great Wilderness were two completely unrelated alien planes, each developing its own way, and it was only because of Jiang Zhu’s portal that they were linked together.
But now, the truth slumbering in the depths of the earth keeps emerging from the ground, strange mountains, relics of ancient countries, etc. These things that seem to be wild, but they actually exist on the earth.
It feels like the earth used to be no different from the Great Wilderness, but for some unknown reason, these mysterious things fell into a deep sleep. Buried them in the unknowable ground, and then developed a technological civilization.
This idea is very inconceivable. How could such a rich and splendid civilization disappear so cleanly, and even except for myths and legends, there is not even the slightest trace of it left, but it is very real.
Jiang Zhu was also thinking about this question, how could it disappear so cleanly, as if it never existed, if it weren’t for the recovery of the earth’s energy, who would know the true side of the earth.
Deceiving time and years, deceiving all living beings, is it natural development or man-made?
If it is man-made, I am afraid that there are unimaginable secrets hidden here.
Jiang Zhu and the others spent a lot of time entering the city, and it was not easy to take a car, let alone a plane, because the rice cakes resisted the dying, and the zodiac rode a colorful bull.
In the city, a very strange team naturally attracted a lot of onlookers. This is simply a myth and legend walking on the streets of the city.
Now people’s ability to accept is very strong, except for curiosity and surprise, it seems that there is no fuss.
“Is that a dragon? My god, it actually resists a dragon.”
“Is that just the legendary colorful bull?”
“I watched the live broadcast, and it seems that I got it in a ruin called the ancient kingdom of the West King.”
“I heard that many people have rushed to the ruins, and I hope they can find something. The ancient kingdom of the Western King worships the Queen Mother of the West. It is said that the Queen Mother of the West holds the medicine of immortality. Now these myths and legends, I really have to believe, if I can find an immortality. Medicine, even if you don’t take it, take it out and sell it, it is estimated that you will become rich overnight, and you will not have to worry about it in your life. Those relics that pop up are there. If you find anything, the chance of getting rich is much higher than buying lottery tickets. ”
Then why don’t you go to the ruins to find the treasure?”
“You think I don’t want to, but I can walk away with my family and have to go to work.”
“Oh, even if you can’t find the treasure, even if you take it back The antiquities in the ruins are all bought at high prices by collectors who specialize in their collection. A neighbor next to our house made a lot of money because of a visit to the ruins, and now he has changed to a villa and doesn’t know where to go.” There were
discussions . .
Now, going to the ruins to find a chance to get rich has become a choice for ordinary people, so it can be imagined how many ruins have appeared.
Of course, the terrain of the ruins is complex, and there are no monitoring facilities, so I don’t know how many crimes have happened.
It is an opportunity and a crisis. Many professional teams may not be able to get out of the ruins, let alone individuals. As for the danger of the ruins or what causes them to disappear, it is unknown.
Anyway, once you go to the ruins, it seems to be free from the constraints of the laws of this society and becomes a real gray area.
The colorful ox of the Chinese zodiac is too small, and when there are many people watching, it will bury its head in the ground. The Chinese zodiac didn’t know how many times he fell off the back of the bull and covered his forehead. How could he get such a timid mount for such a clever little man.
Jiang Zhu thought for a while, and simply went into a fast food restaurant. One was to avoid the onlookers, and the other was to order an ice cream boat for each of the zodiac signs, which was a rare visit to modern times.
The zodiac signs are too happy to eat.
Shop clerk: “…”
The zodiac is still calling the little siren: “If you don’t come, we are eating ice cream boats.” The
little siren is full of anger, is he not coming? Jiang Zhu said that they were going to climb the mountain, and his fish tail was inconvenient: “Bring me an ice cream boat when you come back, and ask for the biggest and best food.”
After hanging up the phone, Zodiac continued: “When we finish eating ice cream, Let’s go get a haircut.”
“I watched the video and said that the only thing boys need to take care of is their hair, so there is no reason to be lazy. Those boys with messy hair must be very sloppy in their daily life.”
Jiang Zhu is also funny, but he is smug.
After playing with the zodiac for a while, Jiang Zhu sent them back to Xuanpu Hill, and then he decided to go to the Women’s Country by himself.
After going to the ancient kingdom of the Western King, Jiang Zhu found that the earth might not be safer than the mountains and mountains in the Great Wilderness, so he couldn’t use the ability of space transfer to lead people around, for fear of encountering something unknown and not giving him time to use the space Jumping, after all, space jumping needs to cover the mental force on the target, there is a process.
It is much more convenient for him to be alone, and this ability has almost become his instinct.
The location of the Women’s Country is in a mountainous area of an ethnic minority area.
Such a place should be inaccessible, but now I have encountered many people one after another.
Listening to the content of their conversation, most of them are going to this women’s country.
“Listen to this woman’s country is good at weaving, but unfortunately those fabrics are all weathered to ashes, otherwise you will get rich if you get one.”
“Isn’t it not forbidden to let people in?”
“Oh. At first, the entrance was guarded. But now there are a lot of entrances that have been made by people, and they have one eye and one eye closed. Where are so many people guarding them, they are just guarding the strange river that can give birth to babies. I heard a lot of them. People want to drink river water, both men and women.”
“…Are people so open now? There are really men going to grab water from the river, what are they trying to do?”
“Who knows, there are a lot of them anyway.”
“In the future, the breeding habits and forms in our country will not be It’s about to change, I shiver just thinking about it, I don’t know why.”
Jiang Zhu came to the border of the Women’s Kingdom, a ground state with carved railings and Zhuge Pavilion.
This is an ancient country that Jiang Zhu has seen very similar to ancient buildings.
Many of the wooden buildings are decayed, but the red paint brushed on the biggest beams can be seen faintly.
What a very special ancient country, even Jiang Zhu wondered if it was a mistake, it may be an undiscovered old site of a certain dynasty.
The entrance is indeed guarded, and there are still many people.
Jiang Zhu thought for a while, and according to the news he heard on the road, there should be other entrances.
But for Jiang Zhu, such guarding was useless.
The guard suddenly felt a flower in front of him: “Strange, did you notice just now that a figure entered?”
“How long has it been since you closed your eyes? It must be dazzled. If someone goes in in broad daylight, they won’t be able to see it. ?” He
glanced at the monitoring equipment casually: “Look, there is nothing.”
The man also sighed: “There are not enough staff now, I can only sleep for two or three hours a day, and when more relics appear in the future, why not? Take it into account .”
Someone replied, “We will probably not be needed by then, and the army should be dispatched.”
After Jiang Zhu entered, he found that this women’s country was full of abandoned wooden buildings on stilted stilts.
Most of them collapsed, and some are still supported by beams, but they are also trembling.
Jiang Zhu did not find the White Pagoda, but it was indeed an ancient country, an ancient country that served the gods, because among these wooden buildings, there are many stone walls erected with murals to record their history and only used by gods. The kind of words that you know at a glance.
The collapsed buildings have traces of being searched, but it is certain that these collapsed buildings are not messy at all, but they have collapsed on their own after too long, and have not experienced war or devastating natural disasters.
“Is it also self-erasing?”
Jiang Zhu muttered, he was so interested in coming here, and naturally he wanted to know why so many ancient countries suddenly chose to die.
Looking around, the atmosphere is still a bit terrifying. Maybe such relics are a bit terrifying. There are only wrecks left in the past glory, which will make people a little depressed.
Jiang Zhu walked to the erected stone walls. Perhaps only these stone walls were still intact. The murals on the stone walls recorded some things about this women’s country.
For example, they reproduce with river water.
The picture on the news should have been taken here.
Another example is that they are good at weaving. This mural of weaving is a little weird. What they weave is not clothes or the like, but… human skin.
The human skins are then sewn together to form hollow dolls.
A doll with only skin and no flesh.
“What a strange skill, what are they doing with these strange dolls?” Jiang Zhu couldn’t help but muttered.
Continuing to walk inside, the stone walls are filled with murals recording their lives.
Jiang Zhu avoided the fertile river, because there were too many people guarding it, and he sneaked in, so it’s better not to let the above know.
Looking at it from a distance, the river was blocked by an ancient stone. If the earth’s crust had not changed, the ancient stone would be split open, and the river would flow out of it, I am afraid this river would never have appeared in the world.
It should be that when the people of the Women’s Kingdom destroyed themselves, they cut off the source of their reproduction. It is estimated that they did not expect that their hidden things would reappear after countless years.
Jiang Zhu probably reached the middle of the ruins, and pictures of them offering sacrifices to the gods began to appear on the wall.
There are strange words on the stone wall, probably saying that they worshipped the god of fertility.
Then Jiang Zhu was stunned, and all the next murals were erased with blunt tools.
Judging from the weathering traces left by the blunt weapon, the time point of the destruction of the map is probably very long.
Jiang Zhu felt the heaviness of it. It was a very bizarre thing for such a thing to happen in an ancient country, and now there is another one, so other ancient country ruins, shouldn’t it be the same?
What is it hiding?
Jiang Zhu was contemplating when a panicked footstep came.
A group of people ran over in horror, turning back as they ran, and there were some bloodstains on their faces.
Jiang Zhu couldn’t help but ask, “What happened?” No one paid any attention to him, he just said unconsciously: “There are monsters
, they have come alive.”
“They are too scary.”
Very strong fright.
Jiang Zhu frowned and walked over, what came back to life?
It was an ancient building, very large, perhaps because the wood used was huge and strong, although it was crumbling, it still maintained a complete structure.
At the door, there were messy bloodstains and bloody handprints. Someone should have been injured and crawled out.
Jiang Zhu searched, and sure enough, he found the bodies of several people not far away.
Out of breath, hopeless.
Jiang Zhu sighed, the ruins of the ancient country were not a safe place, and no one knew whether they had left some witchcraft that could not be wiped away.
But the wealth and silk moved people’s hearts. Jiang Zhu was sure that even if someone knew about the result, there would still be people who would go to these ruins one after another.
Jiang Zhu looked at the gloomy ancient building and walked in, what killed them?
“Sisi…”
A strange voice came from the middle of the ancient building.
Jiang Zhu was stunned when he saw it.
It is a wall, and on the wall is a very spectacular fresco of thread weaving. I don’t know what thread is used, but it is as brand new as new fabric.
Sisi’s voice was from several wooden shuttles weaving next to them. They didn’t know why, but they kept moving there by themselves, like ancient machines from countless years ago.
Silk threads are connected to the wall, and these wooden shuttles are unmanned, but they are still weaving the murals on the wall.
Endless years, never stop weaving.
Jiang Zhu opened his mouth, fearing that it was a high-tech that even modern times couldn’t crack.
The wooden shuttle is dark red, and I don’t know what kind of sacred wood it is made of, but there is no sign of decay at all.
A row of wooden shuttles, with silky voices, just kept working in the ancient building ruins in the ancient country, not to mention how strange and spectacular.
Jiang Zhu followed the silk thread of the wooden shuttle to look at the dazzling thread-woven mural.
It is a magnificent palace, in front of the palace is a pattern of a god and a person giving birth to children.
The goddess should be the god worshipped by this women’s kingdom. The number of children born by the goddess is somewhat large, and the expression…with a wicked smile?
Very scary.
Jiang Zhu thought to himself, how can there be such a wicked painting of the children conceived by the gods.
After watching it for a while, there was nothing but admiration for the advanced textile craftsmanship of this women’s country.
“It’s really a miraculous craft.”
“If this craft is passed down, where will foreign textile machines get the chance to play.” It was
amazing.
Jiang Zhu checked the entire ancient building again.
“Strange, those people ran out from here, and the corpses at the door should have crawled out from here.”
“But what attacked them?”
Jiang Zhu frowned. Nothing that could attack people was found to exist.
Jiang Zhu stood under the mural again, frowning tightly.
Sisi’s voice echoed in his ears like an eternal voice.
If there is something a little weird, then it is…
Jiang Zhu turned his attention to the mural, and on the mural, there were some lines that looked like they were stained with blood.
The light was dim, so I couldn’t see it clearly, and I thought it was the color of the mural.
Moreover, the corpses at the door had obvious bloodstains stretched out by small ropes.
Saying it’s a rope might not be very accurate, because it’s so thin, it’s more like… a thread.
It’s just that the line needs to be very sharp and strong to cut out the deep visible wound.
Jiang Zhu looked at the red on the fresco. It was a child conceived by a god. His whole body was scarlet, and his eyes seemed to reveal a red light of hatred, like… hatred for the intruder.
Jiang Zhu raised his hand and touched the man on the mural. Whether it was blood or dye, he could tell after a try that even the dried blood was very different from the dye applied in the ancient times.
“Sisi…”
Mu Suo’s voice seemed more urgent.
Jiang Zhu seemed to be able to hear the angry roar woven out.
“Whoosh!”
There was a sound of breaking the air, and the line on the wall shot out from the mural, like a sharp arrow, passing through Jiang Zhu’s position.
Jiang Zhu’s body turned into a phantom and was teleported to the side.
The red line did not stop, but intertwined in the air, turning into an informant.
Jiang Zhu looked at the mural again, and the red man on the mural was gone.
The murderer turned out to be it, the things on this mural can actually run out, and are woven into three-dimensional things.
Jiang Zhu couldn’t help thinking that the people of this women’s country were good at weaving a kind of human skin doll without flesh and blood.
“An old sorcery? It’s quite interesting.” Before
he had time to think about it, the thread-knitted puppet had already rushed over.
The puppet doesn’t have much energy, presumably because no one is manipulating it, and no one is providing it with energy.
So it relies only on the sharpness and tenacity of the lines.
Jiang Zhu took out the bronze mirror, and the Baoguang demon pupil sealed inside the bronze mirror emitted a golden light.
Witchcraft versus sorcery may be the best choice for treasure hunting in the ruins. Looking at the composition of this puppet, bullets should be useless to it, maybe you can try burning it.
But witchcraft is different, witchcraft is a confrontation of power.
Fortunately, the other party has no wizard to provide it with energy, just like a precision machine without oil.
The light of Baoguang’s demon pupil exploded on the puppet. I have to say that this thread is really strong. Baoguang’s demon pupil can split boulders. With the energy provided by Jiang Zhu now, it is no problem to open mountains and crack rocks, but it took a few moments. It was only when Dao Jinguang exploded the line puppet.
There is no burnt smell, indicating that this thread may not even be afraid of fire.
Jiang Zhu didn’t dare to relax, because…
“Sisi…”
The thread that was broken into knots on the ground was woven into threads by those wooden shuttles.
The wooden shuttle used thread to weave the disappearing figure on the fresco again. This time, a few more thread puppets rushed out.
Jiang Zhu: “…”
What a weird way of fighting, never ending?
Jiang Zhu was not in a hurry to destroy these puppets, but began to dodge, there was room to move, but he was not afraid of being attacked by these puppets.
His eyes turned to the mural from time to time.
If the people in the paintings can “walk” out, then… what about the gods in the paintings?
Also, these informants seem to be guarding something.
Just now, Jiang Zhu was attacked because he wanted to reach out and touch the mural. Instead, he searched the ancient building arbitrarily, but did not respond at all.
“Sisi…”
The eyes of the goddess on the fresco actually moved under the weaving of the wooden shuttle, and looked at Jiang Zhu.
hiss!
Jiang Zhu’s body suddenly trembled. He originally thought that although this kind of sorcery was strange, the power without a wizard’s support had greatly shrunk.
The result was just a glance at the goddess on the mural, and the whole person was like falling into an ice cave.
Like being spied on by something horrible.
How could this be?
Even if the deity on this mural is huge, it is just a huge informant who walked out. Why would it give him such a vicious and frightening feeling.
“Sisi…” Kamito
‘s mouth opened and closed under the weaving of the wooden shuttle, and a sound came out.
Jiang Zhu’s heart sank, it was divine language.
It was exactly the same as the whisper from the corpse.
What a strange thing this is.
Jiang Zhu didn’t dare to neglect, and rushed directly to the wooden shuttles. He also saw clearly that the things on the murals came alive because of these wooden shuttles.
Covering several wooden shuttles with mental power, Jiang Zhu’s figure flickered, and when he reappeared, he was already outside the ancient building, and the wooden shuttles were placed beside him.
The light suddenly became brighter, and the structure of the wooden shuttle could be seen more clearly.
There seems to be nothing unusual about a pedestal. On the pedestal, there is a red shuttle the size of a watermelon with a big point in the middle. There are many fine holes on the shuttle, and the thread should be drilled out of these fine holes.
On closer inspection, some ancient wooden gears are embedded in the wooden shuttle. Because the shell is like a walnut, it is impossible to see the specific structure inside. Only through the fine holes, the densely packed gears in the wooden shuttle are constantly turning.
The sound of the tiny gears rubbing was drowned out by the sound of pulling the thread just now.
It is these incessant gears that allow it to weave that grand and breathtaking mural.
Nice precision tool.
What an amazing tool.
There are no lines, but the sound of its gears turning can still be heard.
Jiang Zhu thought to himself that the gods served by the Women’s Kingdom might not only be a god of fertility, but also a god of skillful craftsmen.
Jiang Zhu looked at the ancient building in front of him, as if it had become more mysterious.
What is the informant on the mural guarding?
The gods on the murals are just patterns woven by wooden woven fabrics, or are they related to gods?
Those terrifying eyes didn’t look like a dead thing could radiate, not to mention the divine language was a sign of a god.
Jiang Zhu also sighed and came here once, but he didn’t expect more doubts.
But go in again?
I don’t know why, but when I thought of the moment I was stared at just now, my body couldn’t help trembling.
It was an instinctive fear and fear, a reaction of a soul beyond its own control.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva: “I’d better find a chance and let it go together with the disaster.”
He was timid.
But if there is trouble, even if he encounters a true god, he dares to straighten his spine. What is the saying? Fox fake tiger might.
The gold master’s father is not here, he is very empty.
But…
Jiang Zhu thought for a while, since it was an ancient country that served the gods, there should be a mural recording the god’s duties.
Jiang Zhu’s figure flickered, and he appeared in front of the murals on the stone walls with a few wooden shuttles beside him.
Sure enough, I saw what I wanted on a mural.
There are words on the mural, the general idea is: “East of the Tianhe River, the God of Qiqiao, Si Zhi Si Yu.”
Jiang Zhu thought, in the age of the gods, did different gods have different duties and responsibilities?
The division of labor is very clear, and they are actually a complete social system in themselves.
Such a complete age of the gods eventually went to destruction.
Jiang Zhu returned to Xuanpu Hill with a few wooden shuttles. This time, it was not without gain.
Looking at the several wooden shuttles that are still running, researching and researching, maybe Xuanpuqiu can develop the textile industry.
