Chapter 125: The Tower of the Damned
Yin Bing and Shi Wu glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of a smile in each other's eyes.
Originally, the two of them had already completed the task, and it was okay to leave directly at this time, but this Zhang Tiecheng was really a way to heaven, and he didn't have to go, and he had to enter hell without a door. Before, when Zhang Tiecheng left the hut besieged by marching ants, he smashed the beams of the house and trapped the two of them to death, and this revenge has not been avenged!
Yin Bing is not a person who holds grudges, because he avenged them on the spot. Especially this revenge is different from scolding him twice or asking him to climb the eighteenth floor with three watermelons when delivering takeaways, which is a murderous revenge. Yin Bing was so happy that he was about to laugh out loud, since these people not only resold cultural relics but also dared to kill people, it was obviously not a good thing, so there was no psychological burden.
The two quietly retreated to the apse to observe the whereabouts of Zhang Tiecheng and the others.
Yin Bing checked the number of people, except for the old guide of Muleda, everyone else came down, and they were searching around to see what treasures they had. Zhang Tiecheng arranged for four people to go to the house to check, and he and the man with a black mole on his face walked towards the apse together.
Yin Bing's heart was clear, knowing that Zhang Tiecheng had judged at a glance that there would definitely be treasures in this palace, and he and the black mole man came to pick up the precious ones for him to hide privately.
Yin Bing gave Shi Wu a look, and Shi Wu nodded. The two of them continued to retreat, rounding the side hall.
Zhang Tiecheng was extremely excited at this time, when a few of them left the small fire house besieged by marching ants, he also casually dealt with Yin Bing and the others, and he was suddenly in a good mood.
When the old guide of Mulda saw that the two college students did not come out, he asked loudly, and Zhang Tiecheng immediately pretended to be grief-stricken, saying that the two of them were crushed by the collapsed house in order to save everyone.
The old man Mulda looked back at the big fire that had completely collapsed into ruins, sighed, folded his hands, and silently recited the sutra for Yin Bing and Shi Wu before they went on the road again.
Zhang Tiecheng did not urge because he was in a good mood, and followed the old man Mulda to salute the ruins, and then they continued to march towards the depths of the desert, and after walking for most of the day, they found that there was a sloped and dilapidated building in front of them, which looked like another tower.
Zhang Tiecheng had a strong premonition from the bottom of his heart, this tower must be related to what he was looking for, and today's luck is really good.
He couldn't wait to urge everyone to enter this tower to check, but the old man Mulda suddenly changed his face, and he stopped everyone and said: "How come this tower has never been seen before? This tower is pitch black all over, and at first glance it is an ominous thing, as if it is the legendary tower of the curse." Legend has it that the Tower of the Damned is an invitation from the devil, and anyone who sees it will be doomed. ”
Zhang Tiecheng laughed, "I'm so lucky today, even if this is the Tower of the Damned, I will be overwhelmed by my good luck." I have come here with a mission entrusted by the state, how can I regress because of a little legend!"
Zhang Tiecheng said it proudly, but the old guide shook his head vigorously and sighed, and Zhang Tiecheng's subordinates walked into the black tower. Zhang Tiecheng finally pulled the old guide to go in, and the old man Muleda saluted Zhang Tiecheng, saying that he would not go in and help them look at their luggage outside.
Zhang Tiecheng thought about it, if there was really a treasure here for the old man to see, it would be a problem, so he no longer forced the old man, and finally walked into the Black Tower.
There is a lot of space inside the Black Tower, but there are very few things inside, all of them are worthless clay pots. Zhang Tiecheng's deputy, the black mole man, came over, "Brother Cheng, something is not right here!"
Zhang Tiecheng casually picked up a broken crockpot, looked inside it in his hand, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Isn't it unusual that this tower looks very eroded on the outside, but there's not even a lot of sand on it?"
Zhang Tiecheng was attracted by Yin Bing's words, he glanced at the crockpot in his hand again, and then looked around, "Don't say it, your eyes are poisonous enough......!"
The black mole man approached Zhang Tiecheng, "Brother Cheng still remembers what the old guide said just now, right? He said that this tower has not been seen before, which means that this tower has appeared recently, but a tower is not a ghost ship that can flicker and flicker, it must have been here before." That means that the tower was buried in the ground before, and it has only recently been exposed due to sandstorms, earthquakes, etc. ”
Zhang Tiecheng stretched out his thumb a little exaggeratedly, "Amazing, Brother Lao Hei, worthy of being my brainchild, this one who has gone to school is better than my uneducated!
The black mole man was also not modest, he looked around again, "Brother Cheng, don't you think this space is a bit small?"
"Don't you think so!"
"If it's a tower, it's a little too short and it's too small. In ancient times, technology and productivity were very backward, and it should be time-consuming and laborious to build a tower, and it is a bit unreasonable to make such a small tower if it takes so much time, effort and effort. ”
"Oh, I said I was a big boss, don't beat around the bush with me, just say it!"
"I suspect there's a tower underground! We're just a spire here!"
The old man Mulda, who was guarding outside, was hiding behind the shadow of the camel and smoking, when he suddenly heard the sound of an explosion coming from the tower, and the whole ground trembled. He couldn't help but fall to his knees and keep kowtowing in the direction where the gods were, begging the gods to forgive him and praying for the gods to protect all his followers.
At first, he spread the legend about the exquisite witch, because his son was admitted to Beijing to go to school, and he wanted to earn some living expenses for the child, but he had no way or skills, so he remembered the legend he had heard from the old man when he was a child.
It was decided to spread this matter and attract people from the people to search for treasures, so they would definitely come to the person who was most familiar with the terrain of the place to be their guide, and the money would come. Old man Mulda had a good plan, but he didn't want to really run into a vicious person.
He felt that it must be Zhang Tiecheng who had opened the door of the devil and brought disaster to all of them!
Before the old man's prostration was over, two more banging sounds rang out one after the other, and the camels suddenly screamed, stood up, and ran out. When the old man saw that there were still the equipment and drinking water of these people, he immediately reached out and grabbed the reins, hoping to stop the frightened camels, but to no avail.
Eventually, the old man lifted his leg and rolled onto the camel's back, and walked away with the camel.
Zhang Tiecheng didn't know that his back road had been broken, he was now in extreme excitement, today his luck was out of the charts, they came to the underground smoothly, and exploded the white bones densely blocked at the door, they came to an underground cave full of purple crystals.
And at the first glance, Zhang Tiecheng saw a palace, if there is no treasure here, no one can believe it. sent his younger brothers to the side, which looked like a very poor house to go to the treasure hunt, and he and the black mole man walked into the palace.
The two of them entered the apse, which was actually a secret room, through the open door, and neither of them noticed that there was a broken door here, because their eyes were already filled with gold, stone, and jade in the room.
The two of them glanced at each other, rushed in, and began to put those precious stones and gold ornaments that looked very expensive and small in size into their pockets.
After pretending for a while, the black mole man suddenly asked, "Brother Cheng, did you hear any sound?"
