Chapter 16: The Horror of the Black Tower
The black tower in front of us is a shock to all of us, and it may not be difficult to build such a tall building with today's technology, but it should not have been an easy task more than 2,000 years ago. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I approached the black tower and tried to gently touch the black stone that built the tower with my hand, it felt cold and piercing, and upon closer inspection, I found that this black stone should be a rare metal ore, similar to ilmenite.
But we haven't seen this kind of stone in any place after driving here, and after entering the desert, there is a sea of sand around it, so where did they get such a rare ilmenite rough thousands of years ago?
"What's the matter? Is there anything wrong with these black stones?" Uncle Li saw that I was touching the wall for a long time without saying a word, so he came over to me and asked me.
I glanced back at him and said uncertainly, "These black stones are a rare ore similar to ilmenite, but I'm not sure what they are." With that, I raised my left hand and approached the wall, only to see the mechanical watch on my wrist running rapidly.
Seeing this, Uncle Li also took out the compass on his body and walked around, and then said to us with a solemn face, "The magnetic field here is not right, my compass is out of order here!"
When I heard this, I hurriedly stretched out my head to look at the compass in Uncle Li's hand, and saw that the hands of the compass were spinning rapidly like my watch......
At this time, Luo Hai walked over, also touched the stone with his hand, and then frowned: "These black stones are very similar to a kind of alien stone I saw in my early years. ”
"What kind of stone is it?" I said curiously.
Luo Hai looked up at the tower and said, "Actually, it is a kind of meteorite, which is also black, and its biggest feature is that it can change the nearby magnetic field." ”
Zhao Qiang heard the conversation between the three of us, and was also particularly interested in these black stones, he kept taking pictures with his camera, and said while taking pictures: "This is a major discovery, if we bring these photos back, it will definitely cause a lot of sensation in the archaeological community!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Ziping said with disdain: "The archaeological community?
I heard the sourness in Liu Ziping's words, it seems that their "tomb robbery world" and "archaeological world" are really incompatible!
Zhao Qiang didn't expect his occasional emotion to attract Liu Ziping's whitening, and his face was somewhat unbearable. He just wanted to retort a few words, but was stopped by Uncle Li, "Okay, let's go find a water source first! If there is no water source, even if you find a gold mountain, it can only be used as our funeral goods!"
As soon as they saw Uncle Li's bad face, they immediately shut up.
After that, a few of us walked around the black tower, and finally found the entrance to the tower due north.
It was an arched black wooden door with two stone knockers carved with mystical totems. Luo Hai was the first to step forward and push inward, the wooden door was thick and heavy, at first glance, the wooden door only opened a small gap slightly, Liu Ziping also came to help when he saw this, and the door was slowly opened under the joint efforts of the two.
The moment the door was opened, a smell of corruption rushed to our faces, and Uncle Li immediately pulled a few of us away and said, "The air here has been closed for thousands of years, let's spread it out first and let the air inside circulate, so as not to inhale any harmful gases by us." ”
Everyone quickly flashed to the side, and I was drawn to the darkness inside the door, as if something was crying inside...... Yes, it's a woman crying sadly.
When Uncle Li saw me standing at the door in a daze, and didn't move the ground, he came back and prepared to pull me away, but when he saw that my expression was different, he nervously asked, "What's the matter?"
I looked at him a little dazedly, and then whispered, "I'm not sure what's inside, but I don't feel good anyway." ”
When Uncle Li heard this, he immediately asked me, "Is it possible that the contents are the people who disappeared back then?"
I turned my head to stare at the darkness in the door, and then said thoughtfully, "I don't know, but that person must have walked in here before he died." ”
Half an hour later, Luo Hai cautiously probed at the door and said, "It's okay, the dead qi that has not been circulating in it for a long time should have almost dispersed." ”
At this time, Zhao Qiang took out a glow stick from his backpack, broke it and threw it into the door...... The sound of the glow stick landing on the ground is a bit empty, and there should be a lot of space inside. Maybe because of their careers, Luo Hai and Liu Ziping were the first to walk in, but Ye Zhiqiu obviously didn't want to go in too much......
I've always liked to pity fragrant and cherish jade, so I walked to Ye Zhiqiu's side and said with a smile, "What's wrong?
Ye Zhiqiu's face turned blue and looked at the darkness in the door and said, "Although all the inside of this ancient city has a history of more than 2,000 years, you can still see the sky outside, and there is ...... inside."
"Don't worry, isn't there still us, the sky is falling and we are still on top of it, don't be afraid!" I said with a signature smile that I used to flirt with at school.
Ding behind him saw that Ye Zhiqiu and I were blocking in front of him and didn't enter, so I couldn't wait to walk in first, and as soon as I saw that only me and Ye Zhiqiu were left outside, I hurriedly pulled her and followed her quickly......
Inside is really the same as I thought, the space is quite large, as soon as you walk in, it is an empty hall, through the glow stick emitted by the green glow, you can see that the floor of the hall is also paved with that kind of black damaged stone, people stand on it and feel a chill under their feet......
"It's so cold in here!" Ye Zhiqiu said, hugging his shoulders.
"This is normal, after all, there has not been a ray of sunlight here for more than 2,000 years, and the yin qi must be a little heavier, in short, everyone should be more careful, especially pay attention to their feet. As he spoke, Uncle Li used a wolf's eye flashlight to shine on the area that the glow stick couldn't reach.
Luo Hai also used a flashlight to shine around, as if he was looking for something...... Suddenly, he looked at Liu Ziping, then raised his hand and pointed to a corner to the west. Liu Ziping immediately understood what he meant, hurriedly took out a lighter from his body, and walked in the direction pointed by Luo Hai.
I also looked in that direction and saw that there was a strangely shaped lampstand there. Liu Ziping walked over and lit the wick, and then heard a few sounds of "bang, bang!" and lit many other lampstands in the hall at the same time.
In an instant, the whole space became brightly lit, and when everyone was attracted by this scene and marveled at the ingenious design of this lighting mechanism, I heard Ye Zhiqiu beside me suddenly let out an exclamation, "Ah...... Who, who's there?"
This sound is amazing, this place is empty, and there is an echo when I speak, and Ye Zhiqiu is standing closest to me, she suddenly screamed like this, and I was so frightened that I instinctively hid behind Ding Yi.
In fact, it was not only me, it is estimated that everyone present was frightened by her, but only Ding Yi was very calm and motionless.
Everyone turned to look at Ye Zhiqiu, only to see that her face was blue, her lips trembled, and she pointed to the east of the hall with one hand and couldn't speak for a long time. Everyone immediately looked in the direction of her finger, and then we all saw an extremely strange and terrifying scene...... I saw a person sitting directly east of the hall!
It was a woman, a woman in a big red wedding dress.
