Chapter 123: The Shortcomings of the Acute Son
"Boom, boom" After a violent sound, a stone wall was shattered by Shi Wu.
As the gravel fell, a pile of yellow sand poured into the hall, instantly burying half of Shi Wu's body. Yin Bing hurriedly rushed forward, pulled up Shi Wu, and took dozens of steps back, and the yellow sand poured into the small half of the apse before it slowly subsided.
Yin Bing squeaked his teeth at Shi Wu and asked, "Let's just cut it directly with the long sword, why do you want to hit it with your body?
Shi Wu spit out the sand in his mouth, touched his head, and said, "I forgot, but it's better to hit it directly!"
Yin Bing nodded approvingly and smiled: "Yes, yes, it's really fast! You shot like a cannonball, and it was fired out in an instant, and I couldn't stop it at all." But it's okay, if we had chopped with our swords together, I'd have a mouthful of sand now. ”
Shi Wu touched his head a little embarrassed, and looked at the hole he had knocked out, half of which had been filled with sand, but there was still a small half of the gap, revealing a light purple light.
Yin Bing and Shi Wu walked over, took out a shovel from the space they carried with them, picked up the sand from the hollow, and drilled out of the apse.
As soon as the two of them came out of the apse, their eyes widened, and there was still a large space here, and there was actually a tower. Half of the tower to be exact, and half of it should lead to the ground. This half-section of the stone tower in the cave is covered with purple crystals, emitting a brilliant purple glow, and here you can see everything around you with almost no searchlight on your head.
The tower body in the underground cave has three layers, stretching upwards in a spiral shape, each layer has a number of small doors, some small doors are only decorative, and the arch of the door hole is used, but only a small square door and window are carved on it.
The whole tower is extremely majestic, the doors and windows on the tower appear chaotic and crowded, and Yin Bing found that this does not seem to be the style of building a tower in ancient China, but has an ancient European style, Yin Bing can't help but recall the appearance of the witch he saw in the main hall, it seems that he is really a foreign woman.
It's just that now this unusually gorgeous and majestic giant tower seems to be filled with yellow sand, and a thick layer of yellow sand accumulates from the doors and windows of the tower.
"Great God Xingze, you said that the Buddha relics will not be in this tower, right? Look at this, the entire tower is filled with yellow sand, how many years will we have to dig to find it?"
Yin Bing didn't answer, walked to the bottom of the tower and observed the surroundings of the tower, behind the tower was a city, there were many houses made of stone and mud, as well as courtyards, all of which were buried by a thick layer of yellow sand.
Before he had time to check those dwellings, Yin Bing found that there were many corpses in the tower, which had been corroded and dried by the years into piles of white bone fossils. Yin Bing picked it up with a shovel and found a large number of corpses in the yellow sand, huddled together horizontally and vertically.
Without waiting for Yin Bing to greet him, Shi Wu also walked over, and when he saw all this, he scratched his head again and said, "Xingze, is this tower a morgue? Why are all these people dead in the tower?"
Yin Bing walked for another half a circle before he said: "It's definitely impossible to build a morgue or something, to build this tower so beautifully, it must not be used for mortuary, even if it is a mortuary, it must be the body of the king." However, there are many corpses here, and the postures are strange, and they don't look like martyrs, but more like ordinary people.
Did you find that none of these corpses were out of the range of this tower, but the door of this tower was open, and they all wanted to rush out of this tower, but for some reason not only did they not come out, but they were all trapped in the tower. ”
"How is this possible? Could it be that they ran so fast that they were all stuck in the doorway, and no one could get out?"
Yin Bing nodded, "Well, it's almost." According to the legend told by the old guide, sand and rain fell from the sky and flooded the city. People's homes were buried in sand, but they found that the tower was very tall and not easy to be submerged, so they all ran to the tower for refuge.
But soon there was a lot of sand rain in the tower or something happened in the tower, and people rushed out, but they were blocked by something, or caught by the door, and no one ran out!"
Hearing this, Shi Wu couldn't help but shudder, he imagined the scene at that time: countless people ran out of the tower regardless of madness, but the tower gate was very small, and only two or three people could pass at a time. As a result, someone fell at the door, and before he could get up, the people behind him rushed up and trampled on him.
He was unwilling to push upwards, and the people on him also fell down, and before he could be happy, more people stepped on the two of them, and some tripped and fell, and soon the door was blocked, and no one could move, and the people below had already been trampled to breath.
Shi Wu shook his head, feeling a little terrifying, so he didn't delve into these white bones, he quickly thought of the key question, was the old man with the Buddha's relics also in the tower?
Yin Bing touched his chin and paced in the open space in front of the tower, and analyzed: "If the legend about the witch and the wandering monk is true, then the Buddha's relics should not be in this giant tower."
Because it was about to burn the old man to death, the sand rain began to fall. We can imagine that at that time, the old man was tied to the altar, and the firewood branches below were just ignited, and the sky began to rain with sand,
The prophecy of the monk You Fang came true, and the people must have been extremely panicked, and they all went into hiding, and even wanted to escape from this ancient city. And the flames will be extinguished by the rain of sand. The old man must have taken advantage of the chaos to escape from the shrine. ”
Shi Wu nodded, looking at Yin Bing with rather admiring eyes, "Great God Xingze, you are really powerful, as if you were standing aside and seeing it." ”
Yin Bing didn't have Shi Wu's flattering words, and then said: "The old man escaped from the Shentai, where will he go? If it were me, I would definitely flee from this city quickly." But I seem to have overlooked one person, the Absolute Witch, who would not let the old man go easily, and who would prevent the old man from escaping. ”
Shi Wu immediately asked, "You mean this witch killed the old man!"
"Not necessarily, don't forget that the monk said that with the Buddha's relics, you can escape this disaster. ”
"Great God Xingze, you are confused about me, did the old man leave this ancient city?"
"Well, it's hard to say, but I don't think the old man was trapped by the sandstorm. ”
Shi Wu's eyes widened, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Then what do you say mean anything?"
Yin Bing smiled slightly, "Although I don't know if this old man has left the ancient city, I can at least be sure that he is not in this giant tower!"
When Shi Wu heard this, he took a few steps back, put the shovel into his backpack, and clapped his hands, as if he was going to call it a day, "Then let's go!"
"Where are you going?" asked Yin Bing.
"Since we're not here, let's go and see elsewhere!
"Let's go, let's take a look," Yin Bing thought for a moment, "but I don't think there should be anyone in those houses." ”
"Okay!" When Shi Wu heard the first half of Yin Bing's words, he had already swept out so far that he didn't hear the second half of Yin Bing's words at all.
Before he came out to carry out the mission, Lingtong repeatedly told him to listen to the arrangements of the captain Yin Bing and to obey the orders. Shi Wu definitely kept this in mind, but Lingtong ignored the patience of an anxious child!
