Chapter 137: Clues

At the northernmost end of the ghost city of Yinxu, there is a castle-like building, which is very magnificent and very dreamy, and it is like a fairy tale world against the backdrop of snow.

The foundation of this castle is relatively high. Qu Nian and the others came to the bottom of the steps, looked up, there were hundreds of steps on the foundation alone, and the width was hundreds of zhang, and the people stood under the steps, as small as ants.

Because there are many dragons and snakes here, most of the people are here to find the eye of the sky, but it is not excluded that some people are here to fish in troubled waters, and there must be petty theft, so these people dare not leave their horses under the steps, so they all dismount and lead the horses up the steps.

At the end of the stairs, the crowd was stunned. There is a square in front of me, hundreds of zhang long and wide, densely filled with statues, there are thousands, about the same size as a real person, all holding weapons in their hands, shaped lifelike, the expression is natural and vivid, there are joys and sorrows, there are anxiety and panic, but no matter what the expression, it is a fierce and evil look, and it is not a good person at first glance. In Qu Nian's eyes, it looks like the Terracotta Army, but it is more realistic than the Terracotta Army, and it feels like a real person has been petrified.

In the center of the square, there is a statue that is particularly tall, more than three feet high, there is a feeling of standing out from the crowd, the statue is a burly man, his head is scattered, his face is hideous, his mouth is slightly open, showing two fangs, holding a sword in his hand, pointing to the sky, it seems to be very dissatisfied with the weather.

Qu Nian walked under the tall statue, glanced up, reached out and patted the statue's rough thighs, making a dull echo, and muttered, "Solid!"

Chu San dared to say: "The legs are solid, maybe his stomach is empty, why don't you split it and take a look?" Maybe Fei Fei will hide inside!"

Qu Nian looked at the statue again, shook his head, and said, "It's useless!

Chu San dared to say, "How can you see it?"

Qu Nian said: "Don't you see that this statue is full of sword marks? There are many people who want to split this statue, and no one can succeed!"

Chu San dared to be stunned: "Impossible, right? This thing can be so strong? I'll try it!" When he said that, he pulled out the butcher's sword, jumped into the air, and swung the sword out, the sword roared deafeningly, and it was slashed on the stomach of this statue.

Although Chu Sandang is not a top master, the power of this sword should not be underestimated, even if this sculpture is really a copper skin and iron bone, it should be cut into two pieces by a sword, as a result, the statue made a crisp sound, the sword slashed on it, leaving only a faint sword mark, to be exact, it can only be regarded as a scratch, the statue was not damaged at all, but it shook Chu Sankang's wrist slightly numb, and the butcher's sword almost came off.

Chu San dared to land, his face was shocked, and said, "This is also too evil, what kind of material is this statue made of? Why is it so strong?"

Qu Nian said: "This is originally a place for evil sects!"

Uncle Jiu on the side didn't seem to believe that there was such a hard material in the world, logically speaking, even if there was such a hard material, there was no process to forge it into a statue, this was not a word, he pulled out the long sword from the horse, and also jumped into the air, only to see a sword light flashing, just looking at this coquettish position, it was much more powerful than Chu Sandare, but the result was not much better than Chu Sandare, the statue still made a crisp sound, and it was still not damaged at all.

Everyone was amazed.

In addition to them, there were hundreds of people in the square, but before these people found Fei Fei, everyone lived in harmony, and no one wanted to offend anyone. I saw that there were more than a dozen people not far away, who were also cutting those statues with swords, but they were all life-size statues, and the result was the same as them, sparks flew everywhere, and the blades of the swords were curled, and those statues were still undamaged!

The dozen or so people were probably fools, and when they saw that they couldn't cut it, they gathered around and prepared to knock down the statue, and a dozen people held their heads, some hugged their arms, and some hugged their legs, so that they had the strength to eat, but the statue still didn't move, but he was not discouraged at all, and took a sword to pry the stone slab on the ground, ready to uproot the statue, and as a result, a few swords were broken, and even the floor was not damaged at all.

Qu Nian felt that this was very weird, because he heard that this ghost city of Yin Ruins has been tens of thousands of years old, even more than 100,000 years old, that is to say, these statues have been placed here for about 100,000 years, after a long time of baptism, even if it is a stone, it should have turned into powder, including these castle houses, it should have disappeared long ago, but he looked at those statues carefully, it seems that there are not many traces of time, as if they have not been placed here for a few years, it seems that the name of this ghost town is worthy of its name.

"Could it be that someone has made it taboo here?" the strange thought popped into his mind, otherwise there was no reason why this place was so intact that even the floor was indestructible.

Since they came here, even if they were looking at the scenery, they should go to the castle to have a look, so they didn't stay in the square for too long, and went directly to the castle.

The gate of the castle was open, and inside was a large hall, very spacious, and like the outside, it was also full of statues, which seemed to be in a state of battle, and all the weapons were unsheathed, and some people were holding swords, their expressions were distorted, as if they were cutting something, but there was nothing under the sword.

In addition to the statue, there are many people in the hall who come to look for Fei Fei, rummaging everywhere, some people are of poor quality, like to destroy public property, and smash everywhere, as a result, whether it is a statue or a floor or a stone pillar, no matter how they toss, there is no damage at all.

Qu Nian and these people turned around inside, and found that there was a back door in the main hall, so they walked over, but found that there was a courtyard outside the door, the yard was very large, and there were several rooms inside, Qu Nian pushed open a door, but found that it was empty, but in the center of the house found a pile of ashes, and there was a smell of burning, it seems that it was not long, it is estimated that it has been burned in the past few days, probably someone left it behind by roasting here.

Originally, this was a very normal thing, but Qu Nian thought about it, but he felt that something was wrong, after all, who would have the heart to bake a fire here when people come here during the day? Isn't it fragrant to bask in the sun outside? But if it is a fire to bake at night, is there anyone in this ghost town of Yinxu at night?

Qu Nian was puzzled.

Although he was very curious, he didn't say anything, after all, there are many things in this world that can't be figured out, so he didn't think much about it, so he followed the others to other places, and no one else thought there was anything wrong with this pile of ashes!

They walked around the castle and still found nothing.

Fortunately, they were now ready to get nothing, so they were not disappointed, and came out after a circle, and when they returned to the square, the sun had already set on the other side of the mountain, because the mountain was very high, there was still some time before it got dark, but they were also going out of the city, and no one dared to stay in the ghost town, and they all shuddered at the sound of the ghost crying wolf howling at night.

So there was no need to discuss, so they led their horses down the steps and went out of the city, and before they went to the west side of the lake, and when they went back they went to the east side of the lake, and since they had no heart to look for people now, they did not take the street, but took the road by the lake.

There was snow on the road, and after so many people trampling back and forth, the color of the snow was no longer visible.

Qu Nian also put all his thoughts on looking at the scenery, looking at the calm lake, and his heart was relaxed.

There are many stones emerging from the water by the lake, very irregular, like islands on the sea, a thick layer of snow has fallen on it, although after two or three days of exposure, but the weather here is cold after all, the snow has basically not melted, as far as the eye can see, these little white snow seems to be dotted on the surface of the lake, it is very beautiful!

Originally, he didn't think much about it, just looking at the scenery, but at this time, he saw a stone, about two zhang away from the lake, and the snow on it was missing a corner for no reason, as if it had melted, and he couldn't help but feel curious, so he took a serious look, and saw that there seemed to be a bamboo pipe emerging from the water on the side of the stone, and the bamboo pipe was very thin, and it was impossible to see it if he didn't pay attention.

Qu Nian suddenly became curious, secretly gave Chu Sandang and Bai Xiaoya a look, grabbed the reins, and jumped from the horse.

Yu Shu felt curious, so he turned his head to take a look, and Qu Nian said, "You guys go first, let's pee!"

Yushu's face turned red, pursed her lips again, and turned her head away. Because Fei Fei was not found, there was no conflict, and everyone was safe here, so she was not worried about the safety of the three of Qu Nian.

The three of them pretended to go to the corner of the road and shook twice, and Chu San dared to whisper, "Master, what's the matter!"

Qu Nian said: "How is your secret weapon kung fu?"

Chu San dared to be stunned: "That must be a hundred steps through Yang, a hundred shots and a hundred hits!"

Qu Nian nodded, then bent down to pick up a piece of sand the size of a grain of rice from the ground, handed it to him, and whispered to him again, Chu San dared to nod.

Qu Nian turned his head and saw that there was just no one by the lake, the people from the Thousand Nations Chamber of Commerce and Mojian Mountain had already gone away, and the other people who were looking for Fei Fei didn't have the heart to look at the scenery, and they were still looking for it in a hurry, so few people chose the road by the lake, wasting their time in vain.

The three of them walked away from the lake, Chu San dared to take a serious look, and sure enough, he also saw the bamboo pipe, so he put the grain of sand on his finger and bounced it out.

It seems that Chu San dared not brag, the grain of sand and gravel just fell into the bamboo pipe, and then a splash of water rose in the stone crack under the bamboo pipe.

Fortunately, there is no one by the lake, no one cares!

Chu San dared to be overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Someone!"

Qu Nian hurriedly stretched out his finger and hissed at his mouth, and Chu San dared to cover his mouth.

Of course, Qu Nian also saw that there were really people below, and the reason why he made a splash must be because the person below was choked. It seems that this bamboo pipe is used by the man under the water to breathe, no wonder the snow on the side will melt, it must be caused by the hot breath he exhales. The man under the water must have put the bamboo pipe on the back of the stone, but then he probably hid it deeply, and he didn't control the strength well, and the bamboo pipe slowly floated to the side of the stone, just enough for him to see!
