Chapter 66: The Giant Tower
"Isn't it all white ash along the way?" I asked curiously.
"No, these are not the same, they seem to be brighter. She replied after glancing at the dust on the ground.
The colors are brighter? It seems to be.
Is there anything different about these ashes?
"Zhao Jie, do you remember Wang Huan?" Guan Zixuan suddenly asked.
"Of course I remember, it was because of her that we found the clue that Sister Lan came here. Is it ......?"
I looked at the dust on the ground: "You mean...... Is this dust from some people?"
Guan Zixuan nodded: "You only observed the dust at night that day, but I saw it once the next morning, and the color is different." ”
"What's the difference?"
"It's brighter than normal dust. Guan Zixuan said.
If they are all broken down into atoms, why are they still different in color? Is it because the composition of the human body is different from other things?
"Then why is there such a thick layer of dust here? Could it be that there were many people here when the mysterious power erupted?" Uncle Wang interjected.
"It's not impossible. Wu Jin stood up, "But it's also possible that these people died many years ago." It is possible that a mysterious power erupted here a few years ago. ”
This speculation is also possible, but it is unlikely, unless it erupted hundreds of years ago, it is impossible for so many new trees to grow on the mountain, but there would never have been such a technology hundreds of years ago.
"What if it's extraterrestrial technology? That power is so weird, maybe it's not possible with Earth's technology at all. Guan Zixuan said on the side.
Alien technology? This ...... It's a bit fanciful, but let's just think of it as a possibility.
After an hour of study, we did not draw any substantial conclusions. What this octagonal cage is, and who these white ashes come from, has not been conclusive.
"Do we still want to go deeper?" asked Uncle Wang.
"The purpose of this visit has not been achieved, we still have to go in, as for this octagonal cage, I will take a picture with my mobile phone first, and I will have the opportunity to go back and ask the third master. I said to Uncle Wang.
"That's okay, the third master must be very interested in this. Uncle Wang smiled, took out his mobile phone and took a photo.
After that, we continued to walk inside.
It's a little dark inside, the light was too good just now, and now it's still a little uncomfortable to go to a dark place.
There's a lot of space here, and I think we're going to the center of the mountain.
At this point, I can't help but wonder if this is also the case inside Temple Mountain. Last time, Lao Wu didn't take us deeper, but went by himself, and he didn't know what was inside.
A little further inside, we saw a tall tower. The tower is more than 20 meters high, made of earth, and the tower body faintly emits a point of light.
When I looked closer, I found that this tower was dug out of the mound, and there was a small hole every few meters, and in this small hole was actually a coffin!
Around the coffin, there was a circle of glowing stones, the same as the fluorite in the mine cave in Xiayang Village.
"Let's go, let's take a look. "I led them to the tower.
The small holes in the tower are all separate and not connected to each other, and in each small hole is the same coffin.
I don't know what material this coffin is, it looks as bright as new, without any sense of age.
"There seem to be words on this coffin!" Guan Zixuan's eyes were sharp, and he made a discovery.
I looked where she said and saw that there were indeed words, but what was written on them made my brain buzz.
Contents: Lin Miaosheng seal.
There is also a date at the back, which is more than seventy years ago.
More than 70 years ago, Lin Miaosheng personally sealed the coffin?
No nonsense, Wu Jin said that this fluorite is radioactive, so we have to open the coffin quickly to see, fortunately there are tools I brought that can be used.
Find a crowbar and violently pry open the coffin, but the contents surprise us all.
I saw that what was lying in the coffin was not a human corpse at all, but a wolf, a wolf the size of a calf.
The wolf's flesh is still there, it has not deteriorated, and its coat is very shiny, faintly fluorescent.
If it weren't for the date on the coffin, I would have thought it was a fresh wolf carcass that had just been put in.
"Uncle Wang, this wolf's corpse is too fresh, right? I don't think it's a problem to take it out and make a braised pork. I looked at Uncle Wang and said in a daze.
"Strange, how can this corpse not decay?" Wu Jin looked at the wolf corpse and thought.
"Could it be that these wolves are parasitized by fire phosphores, so their corpses don't rot like those zombies?" asked Guan Zixuan.
Her question made me pause. yes, how did you forget about the fire phosphor? This thing is made of all kinds of impossibilities.
However, do fire phosphors parasitize wolves?
"Even if it's not a fire phosphorite, it may be that something similar to it is parasitic on it, otherwise it can't be explained. Wu Jin said.
"The most annoying thing is that you have to explain everything, why do you have to explain it? It seems that this is not the key issue at all. Uncle Wang pouted on the side.
What Uncle Wang said also makes sense, and there seems to be nothing worth studying about this issue at present.
"Let's open a few more coffins. I proposed.
So we then pried open several coffins in succession, and all of them were filled with wolf corpses.
It's weird.
We just climbed up to see if everything on top was the same.
At first, I thought that the tower was made of earth, but when I looked closely, I realized that it seemed to be a single piece, which means that the tower was cut out of a single mountain bag.
It is definitely a big project to be able to carve out such a large tower in such a mountain. It will take 10,000 people to complete such a project.
We started to climb up. The climb is not difficult, as there are occasionally large steps for us to rest. These steps were supposed to be dug up for transporting the coffin.
A few floors up, we tried to open a few more coffins, and the result was the same, it was full of wolf corpses.
Why do you want to make coffins for wolves? What is so special about these wolves?
One mystery after another.
"Let's take a break, and we'll climb to the top floor and see what's there. "After opening a coffin, I said to everyone.
"Okay, then we'll ...... Ah!" Before Guan Zixuan finished speaking, she stepped into the air and fell in.
Frightened by her scream, I hurried to the place where she had disappeared to check.
It's a small hole, diagonally leading in, and I don't know what's inside.
"Zixuan, are you okay?" I shouted inside.
There was no response.
I was in a hurry and jumped down. Originally, I thought it would go straight down, but I didn't expect it to be just over two meters deep, and I was at the end of it.
In the end, I found out that the tower was empty. Inside is a large space, but it is only about two meters high, so there must be many floors.
"You did come down anyway. Guan Zixuan's voice sounded on the side.
"I'll go, why didn't you say yes just called you, I thought you were eaten!" I shouted at her.
"You've just been eaten. I just want to see if you're going out of your way to save me. She raised her head triumphantly.
"Nonsense, of course I'll come to your rescue, you're my best mate. I said with a smile.
"Is it just a partner?" she asked, looking at me with a serious expression.
At this time, Uncle Wang called us up, and I replied that we were fine.
"Ahem, we can ...... Do you want to go up first?" I coughed in embarrassment.
I care about her very much, very much, and the tacit understanding between us is also the highest.
But I always felt that my feelings for her were a little strange. It's kind, but it's not the kind of kindness in love.
"Cut, the old lady doesn't look down on you!" she replied.
"Zixuan, let me ask you a question. ”
"What?" she asked, curious.
"Is your birthday the 10th day of the lunar month?"
"Huh, how do you know? You peeked into my diary?" she asked, confused.
"Who likes to read your diary, I guess. I replied.
Although the answer was so-so, I was shocked in my heart, is this another coincidence?
I don't believe there are so many coincidences in this world.
"I ask a question...... Don't you mind, okay?"
I asked tentatively, I was afraid that it would make her feel uncomfortable, but I was anxious to know the answer.
"Say it. She replied lightly.
"Well, you...... Is it your father's own?" I didn't even dare to look at her, this is a very sensitive question.
"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?" she frowned.
"I don't think it's such a coincidence, Wang Huan's birthday is the tenth day of the first lunar month, and the old black one is too, and now even yours is too, I don't think there will be anything related to this. I looked at her and said earnestly.
She was stunned for a moment, then continued: "Do you think too much? There are so many people with the same birthday, there must be two out of every 366 people who have the same birthday." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for me to reply, and climbed up.
Is it really that I am thinking too much?
"I was adopted by my father, who never married me in his life. Guan Zixuan climbed halfway through, and suddenly said softly, and it could be heard that her tone was not very comfortable.
Hey, I'm really carried away by curiosity, and this question must make her uncomfortable. I couldn't help but knock on my head and sigh that I really am a straight man.
"Are you all right?, what's next?" asked Uncle Wang eagerly as soon as we went up.
"It's okay, it's empty down there, and I guess there are several layers inside, but there's nothing else in there, just a large fluorite on a big platform. I replied.
"It's empty, it's more amazing than we thought. Wu Jin said.
Let's move on to the top of the ladder.
On the way, I talked to Guan Zixuan a few times and apologized to her. She just said lightly that she was okay, I didn't have to apologize, and continued to climb up.
It was half an hour before we climbed to the top.
The view from the top floor is different, there are no coffins, and there are no wolf corpses. There is only one dry bone here, the dry bones of a human being. There is also no fluorite around.
Looking at the scene on the top floor, my brain suddenly buzzed, I seem to have seen the scene here!
I've definitely seen it, but where have I seen it?
I carefully recalled everything I had been through in my mind, trying to find clues.
That's right! The photo that Lao Hei took out that day! The photo above is here!
I was out of breath, picked up my flashlight and looked around for something - the code words on the photo! I didn't see it in the photo last time, I must find it this time.
