[Recommended a good book, "The Great World" book number 100223, one I have read recently, I recommend it to everyone. The author's pen is quite good, I am chasing this book.]-

Chapter 116 (Part 1)

He carried the Yuehua back and used the trick again. Then he jumped down to the crack below with a kitchen knife and a flying sword. Then he inserted the kitchen knife and a flying sword on the ice rock, jumped relay, and landed on the small platform of a small square inch below without any danger. Next to it was the cave with a magical treasure inside...

"Sure enough, what a big guy!"

Xiao Lei looked at the dragon sealed behind the ice!

The shape of this dragon is very consistent with the standards in Western mythology and legend. It has huge wings and a tall body, although... by the standards of Easterners, it looks like a flying lizard.

However, Xiao Lei was somewhat interested in the armor on the dragon and the chain that was strangled on its neck. It was obvious that the dragon was "domesticated", but at least from any existing history of humans that Xiao Lei knew, humans had never domesticated the creature "dragon".

Never.

Even the creatures like dragons exist only in myths and legends, whether in the East or the West.

Just like what Yuehua described, when you walk into the hole, the space inside is like a bowl that is pressed upside down. The surrounding ice layer is filled with frozen creatures, and the shapes of those creatures... It can be said that they are something that humans have never seen before!

"If...if the discovery here is revealed... half of the biologists around the world will probably go crazy." Xiao Lei sighed.

Yuehua stood nervously beside Xiao Lei. Since she walked in, her eyes were filled with heartbreaking gazes, and she did not dare to leave Xiao Lei for a moment.

Xiao Lei smiled and gently grabbed Yuehua's hand.

Before they knew it, both of them seemed to feel that this behavior was not at all abrupt.

"Below this step is the temple..." Xiao Lei looked at the big pit on the ground, and there were neat steps under the tunnel.

Yuehua's hands were trembling a little, and Xiao Lei shook them hard and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid."

Yuehua smiled and said softly: "I'm not afraid, I'm just a little cold."

The steps are close to the ice rocks under the glacier. On one side is the cold ice rocks, and on the other side... there is a deep abyss!

Although this place is under the glacier, Xiao Lei could still feel the wind in the abyss beside him. Yuehua next to him couldn't help but turn pale. Xiao Lei frowned and simply pulled her over and hugged her and walked forward slowly.

After turning the corner, Xiao Lei finally saw the legendary Temple of Zeus!

The Temple of Zeus is exactly the same as the one in the narrative of the moon, majestic and magnificent. Those huge white stone pillars support the entire temple. The golden statue of Zeus is sitting upright inside. No matter from which angle he looks, he is shining with golden light.

But Xiao Lei doesn't care much about these things.

He suddenly cheered and pulled Yuehua and ran over quickly.

"Hahahaha..." Xiao Lei smiled happily. He squatted on the ground and picked up a small thing and threw it to Yuehua. It was a pack of dehydrated beef!

There was still a lot of food scattered on the ground. I think it was left behind by the last time the mountaineering team came here.

In order to free up the backpack, those greedy guys discarded a lot of food and equipment here.

Xiao Lei even found a spare sleeping bag!

After collecting all the food scattered on the ground, Xiao Lei smiled and said, "It seems that we don't have to worry about the food now. These things are enough for you to eat for a week."

Yuehua just smiled. She had found a mountain climbing stove and shook it gently. There was still a little residual fuel inside. She lit the stove. The two finally felt the warmth of the flames.

After eating some beef and chocolate, Yuehua's face became more and more beautiful after eating these high-calorie foods. Xiao Lei sighed, and then carefully looked at the statues around him.

"Look, there are twelve statues here. In addition to the largest statue of Zeus, the other eleven, plus Zeus himself, are the twelve main gods in Greek mythology. Although there are many gods of all sizes in Greek mythology, only these twelve gods are the highest status and the strongest mana." Xiao Lei smiled.

Yuehua whispered: "You...are you worried?"

"What are you worried about?"

Yuehua's face looked a little uneasy: "That box...that Pandora's box..."

"Tsk." Xiao Lei curled his lips: "The box is just a mirror. Anyone who looks in the mirror will show people inside. This is just that you opened the box and looked in the mirror at a special time and place. It's nothing great."

"But that box... it suddenly disappeared again." Yuehua looked around as she said this, as if she was afraid that the statues of gods in Greek mythology would suddenly come alive.

Xiao Lei smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's nothing strange about this."

Xiao Lei himself is a practitioner.

To put it bluntly, his understanding of myths and legends is different from that of ordinary people. In the eyes of ordinary people, myths and legends are either sneered at and considered nonsense, or they are regarded as mysterious existences.

But for Xiao Lei, on the one hand, he is a cultivator himself, he believes in the existence of the mythical world, and on the other hand, because of his practice, he sees the mystery more clearly... so there is no sense of mystery at all.

He pulled Yuehua and sat down slowly, whispered: "Okay, let's analyze what's going on here."

"First of all, Yuehua, do you believe in the existence of gods...or do you believe that these gods in Greek mythology have existed?"

The moon is confused...

Xiao Lei smiled and said, "I'm not an atheist. I guess you know it, I know some... Well, it can be said to be some magic. My abilities come from the Taoism in China, that is, the legendary Eastern immortals, the so-called flying of the wind and the sword, and the ability of these so-called immortals is actually a little bit.

To put it simply, I am not an ordinary person, I am a practitioner, and there are many ancient sects in China, and I am a member of one of them. We believe that there are gods and immortals, and that the so-called legendary gods and Bodhisattvas. But... Let me say my own point of view... Rather than saying that they are gods, they are just humans... but they are just some people with skills that ordinary people do not have... For example, practitioners like me are ordinary humans themselves, but we have methods of practice. As long as we practice according to this method, we will have the opportunity to become "gods and immortals" in the future. In other words, there are no gods and immortals in the world because everyone can become gods and immortals."

Xiao Lei suddenly laughed, and he suddenly remembered the words in the movie "God of Cookery": There is no God of Cookery in the world, because everyone is a God of Cookery.

Xiao Lei’s words meant that the so-called gods and immortals are also humans. They just practiced those methods to the extreme and possessed supreme magic power, and people became gods and immortals.

Let’s understand a little more clearly. The so-called gods are also humans, but they are just upgraded and enhanced versions of humans.

Speaking of this, Xiao Lei paused and continued: "Since there are people who practice to become gods in the East and those methods of cultivation... then there must be one in the West, so... I think that the so-called gods in Greek mythology may indeed exist... but they are also humans, but they only have some skills that humans do not have."

Yuehua stuck out her tongue, couldn't help but point to the statues around her, Athena, the famous goddess of wisdom, Poseidon, and Zeus, and said with a wry smile: "You said, are they humans too?"

"Why not?" Xiao Lei smiled: "I have read many myths and legends, and I also know a little about Greek myths... To be honest, I think that the gods in Greek myths are more like humans than other religious myths. Their behavior habits are not as majestic and noble as gods, and their personalities are closer to humans, because they will be angry, jealous, suspicious, greedy, lustful, and even use conspiracies..."

Xiao Lei pointed to the statue of Zeus that was high above and smiled, "The most obvious example is him, Zeus, the legendary supreme existence... But according to the records in Greek mythology... His wife is his own sister, he is also very lustful, and has a love affair with many goddesses and beautiful human women, as well as many illegitimate children. He is even very suspicious because he is afraid that someone will threaten his authority and his rule. He even brags about many things that make people look down upon, such as killing..." Xiao Lei shrugged: "You say, this kind of behavior is not like a god who is high above and above... I think he is a bit like that kind of ancient monarch."

Yuehua couldn't help but smile, and the uneasiness in her original heart disappeared a little by Xiao Lei's strange remarks.

"But what about Pandora? Pandora's box..." Yuehua was still worried about this the most, it was something that was related to her.
