Chapter 512: The soul ascends and becomes an immortal?
"Shhhh..."
The brush moved back and forth, dust and dirt slowly fell off, and a stone slab with a pattern gradually revealed its original appearance.
"There is a pattern. Professor Luo, please come and take a look."
The archaeologist's eyes lit up and he called out softly to Luo Wenjun who was working diligently not far away.
"coming."
Luo Wenjun stood up, walking hurriedly, with some joy in his eyes.
They have been at the Mojiang secret ruins for several days, but the excavation progress has not been particularly ideal.
On the one hand, it is because of the unique environment of the Mojiang ruins. It is deep in a dark mountain cave, with complex and difficult roads, which poses many inconveniences to archaeological activities.
On the other hand, the information contained in the things unearthed in this secret ruins is not of high value. There are only a few inscriptions on the steles, which contain some sacrificial and prayer texts.
Although they could interpret some of the customs and living conditions of the time, this was still too narrow. They needed to find more information about this mysterious Xiyi tribe, such as patterns and murals...
"It looks different than before. Come on, clean it up."
Luo Wenjun observed carefully and said, then picked up the tools and started cleaning up with the other students. Soon the pattern on the entire stone slab appeared in full view of them.
"Come, everyone, come and take a look. The pattern on this stone slab is very interesting." Luo Wenjun then said to the team members who were working around him.
After hearing what Luo Wenjun said, they also became interested and gathered around, including Su Qimeng.
Su Qimeng has been in the archaeological team for some time. Although the work is very busy, she has gained a lot of practical experience and completed a lot of archaeological work, which gives her a sense of accomplishment.
Hearing Luo Wenjun's voice, she also stood up and walked over with a shovel and a brush, looking at the stone slab carefully.
"The pattern on it is so strange. Is it worshipping something? What is the thing on the top?"
One of the team members asked in a puzzled voice.
Su Qimeng also frowned slightly. The pattern on the stone slab was a bit strange. In the lower part there was a group of people kneeling in worship. Although the lines were rough and simple, one could still feel their piety.
The object of their kneeling was a humanoid creature on a flower bud-shaped platform right above them. However, something was wrong with this humanoid creature. It seemed to have... two heads, one above and one below.
"Is this a two-headed man? Is he deformed? Is he being worshipped as a god?"
The female team member who discovered the stone slab speculated.
"I don't think so. The two heads are one above the other, more like double images. Could it be a mistake in the depiction, or was it created by the person who depicted it due to visual errors?"
This time the person who spoke was a boy wearing glasses. He observed carefully and made reasonable speculations.
"Really? But the lines here are very clear. It can't be carved by mistake..."
The team members discussed the pattern on the stone slab and expressed their opinions, but no one was completely sure.
"You guys think... could this be a soul?"
At this moment, Su Qimeng suddenly spoke in a clear voice, and everyone around fell silent and looked at her.
"Didn't Shenzhou have them in ancient times? They left behind their remains and became immortals."
“Could this be the pattern of a person’s soul becoming an immortal? The people below are worshipping this immortal.”
……
"Yo."
The Ancient Jade Fish gathered its strength and moved the four Genesects that had lost their power into the Super Magic Ring. In this state, they could of course enter easily.
Lin Shi was not at ease leaving them here. After all, he didn't know when they would be able to come next time. So it would be better to move them to the sealed place.
If he could be resurrected one day, he would suddenly have an additional team of legendary elves, and that would be a huge profit.
Seeing the four Genesects successfully enter the sealed area, Lin Shi nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to look at the ancient jade fish.
"Try to see if you can get this red one in as well."
The situation of the remaining red Genesect is different from the others. It is very likely to be restarted and resurrected, so it must be taken out.
If he can't pass the Super Magic Ring, then Lin Shi will have no choice but to use the Poké Ball. However, in this case, he will also have to find a way to pass the alliance registration stage. Although he has a way, he will be easily targeted.
After all, not only has an elf like Genesect never appeared before, but it also has traces of human transformation. It is best not to let the people of the Alliance discover it first to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Besides, it hasn't awakened yet, and its fighting power is even weaker than that of the air, so there is naturally no rush to tame it.
Seeing that the scarlet Genesect had also successfully passed through the Super Magic Ring, Lin Shi breathed a sigh of relief. With the previous experience of Sidorane, this was not unexpected to him. However, this also meant that Genesect's situation was very bad, and the Super Magic Ring treated it as a dead object.
"Yo."
The ancient jade fish also made a crisp sound, and its body slowly curled up and degenerated back to the state of the Jade of Disaster. This time it also consumed a lot of its energy, mainly because the environment of the spiritual world was not suitable for it.
"Sorry for the trouble. Don't worry, the national competition is about to begin. It will be faster to gain jealousy points then."
Touching the Jade of Disaster, Lin Shi said softly.
Then he picked up the heavy backpack, inside of which was the Jade Bug Slab in the box. He had originally intended to use the Super Magic Ring to place it in the sealed place.
But he found that the Super Magic Ring could not transport it. Lin Shi didn't know the reason, but the stone slab could definitely not be a living thing. He could only guess that the stone slab's rank was too high and the Super Magic Ring couldn't bear it...
"Lin Shi, Lin Shi, have you dealt with everything?"
While Lin Shi was busy helping to transfer property and urbanize, Neftina and several other elves gathered together to study the imitation platinum orb.
"Almost done. What about you? Is the energy in that bead enough for you guys to use?"
Lin Shi nodded and continued to ask.
"Almost. However, as the seal is lifted, the energy inside it may be rapidly lost. Therefore, we must immediately begin to absorb the energy inside and strive to break through the champion level as quickly as possible."
Neftina said excitedly that she had a feeling that she would be able to make a breakthrough successfully this time.
"But it's not that easy to break through to the champion level. It will take us some time, and there's no guarantee that we'll succeed. So I may not be able to help you during this time. You'd better be more careful and keep a low profile."
"When I break through to the champion level, I will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."
Neftina said as she instructed Lin.
"no problem."
Lin Shi smiled and said, then reminded him of everything he remembered.
"By the way, can you tell the Night Demons to restrain the other ghost-type elves and not to destroy this building? I may need them in the future."
"Ah."
Neftina agreed readily.
"Also, if you want to use that orb now..."
Lin Shi continued.
"Should you send me out of the spirit world first?"
