Chapter 95
Tan Xixi stood upright on the edge of the platform, looking ahead, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, as if with a little smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, cold and distant, and his fresh and young face revealed a bit of vicissitudes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In a flat tone, he said without any emotion, "In the sixth century AD, when the fourth king of the Funan Chenru Dynasty, Liutuovarman, was in power, he deeply felt the great threat from the northern vassal country Zhenla, and began to build this stone city in the dense forest in order to start building this stone city in the dense forest, which took decades to build. The inexhaustible wealth accumulated by the kings of the Chenru Dynasty also sank into the ground. β
Professor Lin was surprised, "How do you know so clearly?" β
This passage sounds like the historical facts are mixed with legends, but it is very in line with the recorded characteristics of that era, but they have only seen the ruins of the ancient city from a distance, and they haven't even approached yet, how did Tan Xixi know?
Tan Xixi glanced at him lightly, "How long have you been exposed to these things?" I've been researching it for a long time! β
She has spent countless time, effort and energy on this, and has encountered countless setbacks and obstacles, but she has been gritting her teeth and persevering, never thinking of giving up, until the death of her life, so she can know much about this little-known history.
In fact, even when it came to the death of her life, she did not think of giving up looking for this place.
Professor Lin thought that she was saying that because their Tan family ancestors had been studying the Seven Treasure Buddha Beads for several generations, they knew more about this aspect than others, and nodded convincingly, "The research accumulation of several generations is different!" β
James's face began to glow as well.
An ancient city! An ancient city buried deep underground! An ancient city that has yet to be discovered!
There are always people who use the price tag to describe the preciousness of treasures, but what about a real ancient city? If it is really as Tan Xixi said, all this means a huge and immeasurable wealth!
The group was instantly as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, took out the rope from their backpack, firmly fixed it on the edge of the high platform, and pulled the rope to quickly climb down.
Tan Xixi had a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth, and stood in place without moving.
Professor Lin still retained a trace of sanity, and he could still ask when he saw her standing still, "Miss Tan, don't you go down?" β
Tan Xixi pointed to the mysterious ancient stone city in front of him with his chin, and replied succinctly, "I can't get over today." β
Professor Lin grabbed the rope and was about to go down for a moment, when he raised his eyes to look at her, "Why?" β
Tan Xixi didn't want to say more, and waved his hand, "I guess, if you want to see it, go down and have a look." β
Professor Lin was in a state of excitement, and it was impossible to hold back, so he slid down with the rope after a little hesitation.
James's people went down and then Lin Songpeng's people.
Lin Songpeng has been relatively silent all the way, since the incident of the Great Soul Brave Night Attack on the camp, James and Lin Songpeng have been a little inseparable, although they still maintain a cooperative relationship, but they are secretly wary of each other, Lin Songpeng is not as big as James, he can say good and bad things, in order to prevent the loss of words, before the goal was achieved, the two of them fought first, so they simply remained silent.
Ou Ren, who acted with Lin Songpeng, was older than them after all, and his physical strength was a little unable to keep up, and he was a little tired and silent on the rest of the road.
It's just that even so, Eugène still couldn't resist the temptation and followed off the platform.
If Tan Xixi doesn't go down, Qin Kun and Yaoxiang will naturally not go down, and the two of them stand condescending beside Tan Xixi, watching those people act.
Yaoxiang walked all the way with trepidation, often hesitating and hesitating, only at this time he was the most active and enthusiastic, and asked Tan Xixi impatiently, "Xixi, why don't we really go down to see and understand?" It's all stuck here, what a pity not to go on! β
When the group was not there, Tan Xixi showed his true face and leaned on Qin Kun, "I'm tired, let me rest for a while." β
After a day of trekking in the jungle, even tired and nervous and frightened, Qin Kun was also tired, not as steady as usual, and unguarded, she leaned on her body crookedly, and almost fell, so she quickly straightened her waist and stood upright, so angry that she pinched Tan Xixi's upper arm with more meat, "Without saying a word, the flesh leaned on me, it was very heavy!" β
With that said, his hands were wrapped around her waist so that she could lean more comfortably.
Tan Xixi quit, raised his face and accused angrily, "You dislike me!" β
Qin Kun, "No, it's just to seek truth from facts, you can try it yourself, it's quite heavy to be so slammed." β
Tan Xixi continued to be angry, "It's heavy, why do you have to add adjectives!" Do you know that it is rude to say that lady meat is doo? β
Qin Kuncai didn't care about this, "I'm saying that you are cute, and you have to be polite when talking to outsiders, so you don't have to be so rigid between the two of us." β
Yaoxiang interjected with a smile, "Xixi, don't worry, Brother Kun won't dislike you, just now I praised you for becoming beautiful again." β
Tan Xixi suddenly put the adjective "meaty" that she didn't like very much behind her, and looked at Qin Kun with wide eyes, "Really? "She has always praised Qin Kun for being handsome, but Qin Kun hasn't praised her yet, this is the first time.
Qin Kun was a little uncomfortable, and turned his head to look away, "I looked like this from a distance just now." β
Yaoxiang looked at Rare from the side, "Brother Kun, you will be embarrassed!?" β
was glared at by Qin Kun, "No." β
If it had been in the past, Yaoxiang would definitely not dare to be so casual with Qin Kun, but the current situation is special, and he has experienced a lot of things together, and he feels that the relationship is a lot closer, so he dares to joke.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In this environment, Tan Xixi's words are generally very authoritative, and in less than an hour, the group that went down retreated scoldingly.
James's state was between his usual smiling and imabout to get angry, squinting at Tan Xixi and Qin Kun, and asked in a rough voice, "How do you know you don't have to go down?" β
His very fierce black/social/boss appearance frightened Yaoxiang so much that he couldn't help but take a half step back, but Tan Xixi seemed to be used to dealing with this kind of person, and his eyebrows didn't move, "I guess it's not that simple, there is no mechanism along the way, can we really let us walk in smoothly all the way?" It's not possible to think about it. β
Professor Lin sighed, so tired that he almost sat on the ground, "That's right, I was too anxious just now to think about it so much. If you shouldn't have gone down just now, you won't be able to get in today, so it's better to save your strength and quit to rest, and come back tomorrow. β
A person next to him boldly interjected, "Who said there is no mechanism, didn't we run into that terrible red leech when we came in?" β
Tan Xixi looked at the tall guy with a shaved head and cyan tattoos on his arms with idiotic eyes, "That's not counting, how could it be possible to leave a living thing as a mechanism more than a thousand years ago!" The thing crawled in on its own. β
James was a little irritable, not very easy to talk, and asked Tan Xixi very arrogantly, "Then why didn't you stop us just now?" β
Tan Xixi glanced at him coldly, "You guys were so excited just now, can I stop it?" He asked, "What are you holding back down there?" I see you've reached the edge of the moat. β
James was not angry, "It's just stopped by that river!" The river didn't know that it was connected to the living water in the ground, and there was a mess growing in it. As he spoke, he frowned, revealing an unbearable expression.
"Messy stuff?" Tan Xixi thought for a moment and understood, "Or that kind of red locust?" β
Professor Lin added, "More than that! There are also dense small poisonous mosquitoes like poisonous mist, groups of smoke fly on the surface of the water, the water is not deep, but there are still a lot of bones of unknown animals below, it is estimated that they all broke in by mistake and were sucked by the locusts in the river. The poisonous mosquito is also very powerful, and I have seen similar reports that this mosquito is very poisonous, and it will swarm up in swarms and attach densely to people's naked/exposed skin, which is also terrifying. "And most importantly, there must be other mechanisms in this river, and it's too dangerous to wade through the water." β
Tan Xixi asked, "What about the suspension bridge?" If there is a moat, there must always be a drawbridge in and out. β
Professor Lin shook his head, "The suspension bridge on the front is hung from the inside, and someone must have put away the suspension bridge and didn't come out again." The same is expected for suspension bridges in other directions. β
Tan Xixi pulled Qin Kun to the passage where he was going to and from the road first, "Let's exit first, rest tonight, and then think about how to build a bridge." β
James's expression was a little distorted, "Who of us here will build bridges?" β
Tan Xixi told him without looking back, "I know that the locals will use bamboo to weave a kind of simple pontoon, but this kind of pontoon bridge usually floats on the water, but as soon as someone walks up, it will be partially submerged in the water, and the feet of the people crossing the bridge will step into the water, and they can't prevent the locusts in the water, so they have to carry protective rain boots from the outside." β
With a specific operation plan, it is easy to do, and everyone carefully quits the same way. James and Lim Songpong each used satellite phones to contact their men stationed in Siem Reap to buy a batch of sturdy rain boots and send them in.
Those who remained outside had cleared a clearing nearby, pitched their tents, and lit a fire to cook hot water and dinner.
It was too tiring to be this day, Yaoxiang got out of the tunnel and moved to the fire, and then collapsed directly, refusing to move again.
Qin Kun kicked him unceremoniously, "Get up and eat, and go into the tent to sleep after eating." β
Yaoxiang was lying on the ground with his back facing the sky, looking at him with a loveless face, angry and weak, "Brother Kun, you let me lie down for two minutes, the bones are about to fall apart." β
Qin Kun had never seen his assistant play like this, it could be seen that he was tired, he shook his head, so he had to go with him, "Look at the watch, you can only lie down for two minutes, the ground here is very damp, and your body can't stand it after lying for a long time." β
In the past, he sat down next to Tan Xixi, and hammered his back with his backhand without a trace.
A box of hot soup made from canned meat is handed to you.
Qin Kun didn't answer, and asked Tan Xixi to eat first, "You eat first, leave me alone, I'll sit down for a while, and I'll serve it myself later." β
Tan Xixi, "What's polite, I always serve it to you at home." β
Qin Kun didn't hide it, and said honestly, "I'm afraid that I'll be tired of you, Yaoxiang is already paralyzed over there and refuses to get up." β
Tan Xixi smiled, "He's really useless, I have to urge him to exercise hard when I go back." I'm fine, I didn't go down the platform with them just now, I rested for so long, I ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a nervous and hurried voice, "Hee-hee! Hee-hee! You see what that is? β
Tan Xixi and Qin Kun turned their heads, only to see that Yaoxiang, who had just claimed that his bones were about to fall apart, and he was already motionless, suddenly trotted over with agility, pointed to the right not far away and asked Tan Xixi in a low voice, "Xixi, what is that?" It's scary to look at. β
Tan Xixi looked in the direction of his finger, it was already dark, the jungle was dark, except for the fire and lights in their camp, the rest of the place was dim, and only some shadows and branches in the darkness could be seen.
Tan Xixi felt that he hadn't seen anything, but Yaoxiang was already tired like this, and he definitely didn't have the leisure to run over and joke, so he confirmed again, "Is this direction?" β
Yao Xiang looked at it more closely and moved his finger at an angle, "There." β
Tan Xixi was inexplicable, "Why are you still moving?" β
Yaoxiang was a little nervous, "Yes-it moves, I was lying on the ground just now, and I suddenly saw it when I turned over, but I just couldn't understand what it was." β
Tan Xixi looked in the direction of his finger again, and this time he saw a hazy black shadow, like a very thick fog, close to the ground, slowly moving with the wind, and the direction of movement was where everyone was sitting and resting.
Under the cover of the night, the black fog almost blended into the jungle, and if Yaoxiang hadn't happened to be lying on the ground and had a special angle to look at, it would have been impossible to see at all.
Tan Xixi's face changed suddenly, he stood up, and shouted in a deep voice, "Don't eat it!" Get up! Pick up what you have to take and follow me in a minute! β
James asked aloud, "What's wrong?" β
Tan Xixi pointed to the left, "Miasma, it's a poisonous insect miasma!" It's coming soon! β
