Chapter 768: The Capital City
"Where is it?" asked Wang Xinran.
"This is probably the legendary ghost town. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"What ghost town?" Wang was puzzled.
"Xudu, haven't you heard of the ghost city," Wu Zhongyuan said, "You work in the 18th sub-bureau, and you don't even know the ghost city?"
Wang Xinran pouted disdainfully, "I am an officer of the 18th Sub-Bureau, and I am not a Taoist priest who subdues demons and catches ghosts. ”
As the two spoke, a rapid and strange laugh suddenly came from below.
The incident happened suddenly, and both of them were in their hearts, and the strange laughter had not stopped, and more strange laughter appeared, and in an instant, the entire abandoned city was filled with this eerie laughter.
"It's alright, it's an owl. Wu Zhongyuan patted Wang Xinran on the shoulder,
Wang Xinran also guessed that it was an owl, but in the middle of the night, he suddenly heard this kind of eerie laughter, and it was a strange laugh, and no one could help but be frightened.
People who are frightened will be angry when they come back to their senses, Wang Xinran is no exception, she came out this time with a rifle, seeing strange laughter one after another, continuously, she shook her shoulder and unloaded the rifle, pulled the bolt and loaded, opened the safety and swept a shuttle below, "What is the ghost called!"
The sudden sound of gunfire alarmed the owls lurking in the ruins, and a large number of owl monsters screamed and flapped their wings from all over the city.
These owls are not quite the same as the common owls, which are all yellow-gray, and these owls are all black and white, and after flying, they do not go far, but linger over the ruins of the city, densely packed and countless.
"What the hell place. Wang happily brandished his rifle and smashed an owl that had accidentally flown close.
"You're right, this is the place for the hell. As Wu Zhongyuan spoke, he extended the fire spiritual energy, condensed a huge fireball from the air, and then used the spiritual energy to urge the support, making it shine brightly, and the dazzling light instantly shone as bright as day.
These owls are very afraid of light, and when the fire appears, they all scream and fly away.
"Let's go, go down and have a look. Wu Zhongyuan took Wang and landed happily to the ground.
The ground was littered with thorns and shrubs, and there was little place to stay, but before the two hit the ground, the thorns and vines below began to extend and disappear, gradually revealing the earth and rocks below.
Wang Xinran knew that Wu Zhongyuan had done this, but he still couldn't help but be shocked, and looked around after landing on the ground, "How did you do it?"
"Everything in the world is born from the breath, and the higher the aura cultivation, the stronger the ability to control the breath. Wu Zhongyuan said casually, he is now dual-minded, while releasing spiritual energy to replenish the spiritual energy for the fireball hanging in the air, while qi is sent to the liver meridian and induces the decomposition of the surrounding thorn vines.
Fear mainly comes from the unknown, darkness will aggravate the unknown, so many people are afraid of the dark, and the area is covered with thorns and trees, so people don't know what is hiding underneath, which also aggravates the fear. When the surroundings are as bright as day, and the thorn vines are gone, and you have a thorough understanding of the surrounding situation, the terrifying aura will naturally decrease.
"Those owls were a lot bigger than normal owls. Wang happily held a gun in his hand and looked around.
Wu Zhongyuan said casually, "You have a problem with the angle of observation, you should not pay attention to their size, but to their coat color, black and white owls have you seen before?"
Wang happily shook his head, "No." ”
"Not only have you never seen it, but I haven't seen it either," Wu Zhongyuan said, "You should have heard the legend of the owl calling the soul, in Taoism, the owl is the night owl, the messenger of the underworld, and the errand for the underworld." ”
"These owls have something to do with black and white impermanence?" Wang happily guessed.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "I don't know, it may be the original form of the black and white impermanence of the later generations, or it may be the subordinate of the black and white impermanence, this can't be determined." But it's very strange that they're stuck in this area, you don't find it, there's not a single rat around, there's no snake, there's not even a small bug, since there's no food, why are they gathered here?"
When Wu Zhongyuan spoke, the thorns and vines around him had been disappearing rapidly, and more and more ground was revealed, and without covering, it was easier to see clearly, this was a very large city, and the stones used to build the city were very large, and the flat stone slabs could be clearly seen on the ground that was not covered with mud. However, due to its age, the city has been weathered very badly, and most of the buildings in the city have collapsed.
"How long can you keep the big fireball in the sky unextinguished?" Wang looked up happily.
"At least three months. Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile.
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan say this, Wang Xinran relieved herself, Wu Zhongyuan is her husband, and she doesn't need to pretend to be fearless in front of Wu Zhongyuan, "This place is really wrong, I'm panicking." ”
"It's normal, the human body has the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, after you enter the Taixuan, your senses are more acute than before, and the perception of bad breath is also stronger, and the yin qi here is very heavy, so you feel depressed. Wu Zhongyuan said.
Wang nodded happily and asked, "Is this really the legendary capital city?"
"It should be," Wu Zhongyuan said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is probably the location of the Ghost Clan's capital before it was sealed, similar to the Terran Bear City." ”
At this time, the thorns and vines within a hundred zhang around the two of them had all disappeared, and Wu Zhongyuan did not continue to extend outward, but walked towards a huge stone pillar not far away.
The stone pillar is black, and after thousands of years of wind and sun, the top of the stone pillar has been weathered and deformed, and the stone pillar should have been carved with figures, but now it is completely invisible.
"Hey, what do you look like," Wu Zhongyuan smiled at the stone pillar, "Nature is really magical." ”
Wang Xinran glanced at Wu Zhongyuan, "What kind of place is this, why do you still have the heart to think about this?"
"It doesn't matter where I am, it doesn't matter what kind of person I am. Wu Zhongyuan turned to the central area of the city, "Let's go, get down to business." ”
"Do you know the exact location of that ancient tomb?" Wang Xinran had an occupational disease, and he would always habitually look around with a gun before keeping up with Wu Zhongyuan.
Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Yes, the debit codex is correct, that place is in the center of the city, but it should not be an ancient tomb, but a secret room." ”
"How do you know?" asked Wang Xinran.
"I guess," Wu Zhongyuan said, "that place may be the place where Zisu retreats, or it may be the place where he hides Jiao in the Golden House, no matter what it is, it can't be an ancient tomb, because the Ghost Prince Su is a Shangyuan cultivator, there is an incarnation of Yuan Ying, and he is immortal, he doesn't need a grave, and there is no need to prepare a grave for himself." ”
"That makes sense," Wang nodded and shook his head suddenly, "but it's not right, those people in Leprosy Ridge took a few burial goods from there." ”
"The place in the basement is the burial goods?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.
Wang Xinran didn't answer, and turned around again, "Why do I always feel like there's something behind me?"
"There's a big cave behind that owl statue," Wu Zhongyuan said, "and that's where the thick yin qi emanates from." ”
Wang Xinran didn't like to chatter and ask, but he still couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "What's in the cave?"
"I don't know," Wu Zhongyuan said, "I'll go to the underground paradise first, and then go to the cave." ”
The two of them are walking on the main road of the city, and there are many stone figurines lying around the main road, these stone figurines are all bent over and carrying weights, and they have a semicircular depression behind them, so it can be seen that the thing they are carrying should be a vessel similar to a pot, most likely a brazier made of metal, used for night lighting, the reason why the brazier is not seen is because it is impossible to preserve the metal utensils in the open air for more than 5,000 years.
When Wu Zhongyuan stopped to look at the stone figurines, Wang Xinran had been on guard with a gun, looking around.
Seeing how nervous she was, Wu Zhongyuan said casually, "It's okay, although the yin qi here is very heavy and there are a large number of owls, there will be no danger here, if there is really danger, it is impossible for those people in Leprosy Ridge to get out of the way." ”
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Wang Xinran relaxed slightly, "Those tomb robbers are also powerful enough to find here." ”
"They rely on this to eat, and they specialize in art," Wu Zhongyuan said. In addition, tomb robbers are not targeted to find a tomb, they all know Kanyu, know what location Feng Shui is good, China's Kanyu Feng Shui theory has been stereotyped a long time ago, the standard for judging the quality of Feng Shui has not changed, 5,000 years ago was good Feng Shui, 5,000 years later it is still good Feng Shui, tomb robbers as long as they find a good Feng Shui place will try, tens of millions of years, countless people have died, Zhang San is not buried here, Li Si may also be buried here, so they basically do not fail. ”
Wang Xinran suddenly realized, and asked instead, "How can you understand this?"
Wu Zhongyuan gave up the stone figurines and continued to walk towards the center of the city, "You don't pay attention in class, you always play games, these teachers I said have talked about in class." ”
"Not in the book. Wang said happily.
"These things are suspected of feudal superstition, and they can't appear in textbooks openly, but teachers can talk about them," Wu Zhongyuan said, "If we don't understand these things, how can we rob tomb robbers from cultural relics?" However, the principle of cultural relics protection in our country is very conservative, unless the rescue excavation, otherwise will not take the initiative to open the ancient tomb, which is very passive, we are worried that the active excavation can not properly keep the cultural relics that accompany the burial, but the tomb robbers can not care about this set, find to dig, so the archaeology is basically to wipe the butt of the tomb robbers, pick up some of the leftovers they stole and burn. ”
Wang nodded happily, "Yes, the popularization of law education needs to be strengthened, and the quality of the people needs to be improved. ”
"It's not entirely a matter of quality," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said, "In the final analysis, life is better, there is a saying in the archaeological community called 'prosperous antique troubled gold,' only when the days are better can people have the heart to engage in collecting, if it is a precarious troubled time, people prefer gold, that is hard currency." ”
Between the two of them, they came to the central area of the city, which is where the main roads in the city converge, there is a circular pool, the pool is made of white jade, the diameter is about nine zhang, divided into two, it is the shape of yin and yang Taiji, the pool is not deep, the established water level does not exceed one meter, but at this time the pool has dried up, only the jade used to decorate the bottom of the pool remains.
At this time, people have begun to use jade, but jade cannot be exchanged, more used for ceremonial vessels, if put in modern times, these colorful jade alone are already valuable.
These jade stones were evenly distributed at the bottom of the pool, Wu Zhongyuan waved his right hand, moved a piece of jade on the right side, turned his palm back, lifted two of the stone slabs, and a pitch-black thief hole was revealed......
