Although there is a clue to this building buried in the desert, Ye Hong thinks that he is not an archaeologist, he will not carry out any exploration and archaeology in such a special time and special environment, and the top priority is how to save his life and find a way out of the situation and return to the desert surface in this crisis.

After a short rest, he began to explore in the opposite direction after feeling that he had regained some strength. This time he was more careful and careful, in order to save his true qi, he first made a simple torch with clothes and sticks, holding the torch in his left hand and the dagger in his right hand, three flying needles were suspended in front of his chest, and his divine sense was released to the maximum range, and he slowly took a step forward.
With the torch tearing apart the glimmer of darkness, Ye Hong carefully explored, praying in his heart not to encounter a group of pit vipers again. The sixth level of cultivation of "Peiyuan Changchun Gong" to the Great Perfection allowed him to hear every slight sound around him clearly, and whenever he heard an abnormal sound, he would stop and carefully scan the surroundings with his divine sense, and only continue to move forward after confirming that it was safe. Even so, he was attacked by a lone pit viper, but luckily he had already prepared for it and easily ended up with it. Luckily, apart from the attack of this pit viper, he was not in any other danger.
I don't know how long I walked, Ye Hong felt through his divine sense that there was a rock step going down more than ten meters in front of him. Ye Hong stopped and hesitated for a while but decided to go around the steps and continue to walk forward, now he only wanted to return to the ground as soon as possible, curiosity about the temple was still secondary, and who knew if there would be any danger if he would go down. It didn't take long for Ye Hong to congratulate himself on the correct decision just now, and a row of four or five people side by side wide rock steps appeared within the scope of his divine sense, and went up. Suddenly, Ye Hong's heart was excited, and the steps up indicated that there was more hope of walking out of the underground temple. Carefully stepping on the steps to go up, after about a hundred steps, he suddenly saw a faint light in front of him, and in an instant, Ye Hong's body rushed forward almost uncontrollably to the light.
The light came in through the cracks in the stone wall, and after careful inspection, it turned out to be two doors more than two people high, and the light came in through the cracks of the two doors. Ye Hong fixed his mind and used his true qi to push one of the doors hard, and with a sound of "quack and cure", the door was slowly pushed open, and a dazzling sunlight rushed into the temple with the hot temperature. Ye Hong walked out excitedly, breathing in the hot air, and suddenly had a feeling of being left to death and reborn, and that wonderful feeling was beyond words.
After calming down his excitement, he looked around and saw that there were many buildings around him with their tops peeking out in the desert, presumably because the desert storm swept away some of the sand and brought them back to light. And the place where he is located is the highest point in the entire city, a square platform, the platform is very large, about two or three hundred square meters. In the distance, a tall yellow and white tower and platform echo each other, and except for these two buildings, the other buildings are much lower, only showing part of the roof or part of the city wall.
Probably due to the fact that it was buried in the desert, the platform and the tower are very well preserved. Walking to the edge of the platform, I found that there were about fifty or sixty wide steps in the other three directions, except for the one by the door, and it was possible to walk down to the desert surface. Ye Hong speculated that this platform may have been the altar where the indigenous tribe performed important ceremonies at that time. After carefully collecting the venom of the two pit vipers in his backpack, Ye Hong stepped off the platform and slowly walked through the city covered by sand.
It was really safe and his curiosity rose again, and after turning around he found nothing of interest except for some broken jars and broken tiles, he finally turned to the tower, and when he looked closely, he was surprised to find it. I don't know how many floors this tower has, because it is buried by the desert and exposed to the desert surface is only two floors, but these two floors are priceless. The two-story tower body is all made of large pieces of polished square and smooth white jade, the wall is smooth and flat, and there are almost no gaps, and the doors and windows of each floor are actually made of gold, and the windows are carved or hollowed with exquisite patterns. When I approached the door on the first floor, I saw a big font carved on the door, and I carefully distinguished that it seemed to be a "Fu" word. Pushing open the door with great effort, I saw that there was nothing else in the tower except for a white jade table and four white jade chairs, and the amazing thing was that the hollow design on the windows around was very ingenious, and the outdoor light could penetrate through the hollow patterns, but there was almost no sand in the tower, and the white jade table was also clean and dustless, which was amazing.
Going up the stairs from the verandah to the second floor, there is still a door with the word "Fu", which is pushed open and looks inside. Although the sun had begun to set in the west at this time, the temperature was still very high at this time, but the scene in the room made Ye Hong's hairs stand up all over his body in an instant, and the whole person was so stiff that he couldn't move. I saw the sunlight through the window through the hollow pattern into the room and shined on a human body sitting on the white jade table, Dingqing saw that it was a dried corpse, but this dried corpse was quite strange and quite terrifying, because his left half was skin and bones, and there were still a few yellow hairs on his head, but his right half did not have any skin and flesh only white bones, and there were actually a lot of strange words on the white bones, grinning with a big mouth, staring at the tower door with empty eyes, as if staring at Ye Hong tightly.
Ye Hong finally came back to his senses after standing stiffly for a while, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It seems that I have seen too little of the world, and a dried corpse will scare me like this." Entering the tower, Ye Hongxian cautiously circled around the dried corpse twice and observed it carefully. Presumably due to age, the clothes on the corpse's body had rotted away, and there was nothing but a belt made of unknown leather. There were two things on the white jade table in front of the corpse, a booklet with a black leather cover and something a bit like the "prayer turning bucket" of the Yellow Sect in the previous life, which looked exactly like a cone with a slender cylinder pressed into the center of the bottom surface.
Driven by curiosity, Ye Hong picked up the booklet with the leather cover first, and as soon as he opened the first page, his eyes were occupied by a white expanse. With a wave of his hand, he dispelled the dust and mist that the paper in the booklet had weathered, Ye Hong smiled bitterly and put down the booklet with only the leather cover left, he wanted to see the contents recorded in the booklet in order to learn about this dried corpse and the relevant information of the city, but he didn't want to become dust, all the secrets here were destined to dissipate in the long river of time.
After putting down the booklet, he picked up the "prayer bucket" again, the pure black appearance was heavy and cold, the material was not gold or jade, it was very hard, and there was no deformation when he pinched it hard, and he scanned it with his divine sense, but found that as soon as his divine consciousness touched the surface of the "prayer barrel", it bounced back, I don't know what the original aborigines used it for? Then he double-checked inside the tower again, and there was indeed nothing left.
Seeing that the sky was slowly darkening, Ye Hong saw through the empty sky on the window that the blood-red sunset had disappeared on the horizon, and after thinking for a while, he decided to spend the night in this tower. Originally, the second floor was the best place to spend the night, but sleeping with a dried corpse was estimated to be unacceptable to most people, and the same was true for Ye Hong. After walking down the stairs and returning to the first floor, Ye Hong closed the door, dragged a chair behind the door, carefully checked the room to confirm that it was safe, then opened his backpack, laid out a homemade sleeping bag on the white jade table, lay down, and played with the "prayer bucket" in his hand. After a while, the high mental tension and physical fatigue of the day made him quickly close his eyes, and his hand loosened the "prayer wheel" and slid out of the palm of his hand.
In a daze, he suddenly felt a chill in his vest, and an inexplicable fear welled up in his heart, and he felt as if there was suddenly another person in the room. Ye Hong wanted to sit up but couldn't move, hurriedly used his divine sense to scan the surroundings, and finally stopped on the chair at the door, a hazy gray-white translucent figure was sitting quietly on the chair. Probably feeling that Ye Hong had discovered him, the translucent humanoid stood up and slowly floated over, yes, it was floating, at least Ye Hong's divine sense didn't feel the translucent humanoid taking steps. After floating to the edge of the jade table, he bent down to the square and looked at Ye Hong motionlessly, as if he was examining him. Ye Hong tried his best to open his eyes to see what it was, but except for the outline of a humanoid, there was only a gray smoke.
"It's really bad, it's really bad, it's low, no, it shouldn't be any cultivation at all. Well, the root bones are also very poor. Alas, don't be embarrassed!Who called this kid the first person in so many years!" Just as Ye Hong was panicking, the translucent figure spoke.
