Chapter 410: Reunion After a Long Time (I)

Wang Xingguo's feet look solid ground is slowly falling, those delicate sand flow into the gap, after a while a sand pit will be formed, if you fall in, you can only wait slowly in the sand trap to die, Wang Xingguo where dare to stay, in the glow stick that little light pick up the solid ground to run, after a while on the ceiling burst of sound, sand poured down from the ceiling, Wang Xingguo stole a glance in the direction, facing the northeast, but the sand squinted his eyes, the glimmer of the glow stick can not illuminate at all, At this time, a passage happened to appear on the left, and Wang Xingguo had no choice but to break in.

"It's dangerous!" Wang Xingguo slapped the sand on his body, those delicate sand got into his clothes, stuck to his body, and mixed with sweat, making people feel very uncomfortable, and finally cleaned up the sand in the gap between his neck and clothes, and the sand rain that fell from the sky slowly stopped, Wang Xingguo went out to take a look, a burst of sand and dust rolled in the passage, and the ground became the same as just now, and the sand poured down filled the collapsed ground.

Wang Xingqing was fortunate that he reacted quickly enough, otherwise he would have been buried in the sand trap, he took advantage of the glimmer of the light stick, looked at the passage he was in, and looked at the compass on his watch, this passage turned to the northwest, and the passage of the sand trap just now was completely in two directions.

Wang Xingguo thought about it and felt that it was better to walk on solid ground.

Along the way, Wang Xingguo failed to find the mark left by Xia Ruobing, which made Wang Xingguo a little irritable, but after thinking about it, Chen Badai was by her side, and she would take care of it somewhat, although Chen Badai and himself have a bad relationship now, but Wang Xingguo thought that he still knew him very well, and if the team members were in danger, Chen Badai would not abandon them.

Along the passage all the way to the northwest, walked not far, a stone gate blocked in front of Wang Xingguo, here seems to be a crossroads, Wang Xingguo looked to the left, a long passage does not know where to lead, a stone gate on the right Wang Xingguo tried, I don't know how to open, and the stone door on the opposite side is not moving.

This intersection is not regular, it is not an angle of 90 degrees, Wang Xingguo calculated the azimuth angle, if to the right, it is to the northeast is 45 degrees, to the left is to the southwest is almost 45 degrees, if you go straight, it is to the northwest, and the angle between the north is about 40 degrees.

This reminded Wang Xingguo of something, the regulation of this royal tomb is indeed strange, it is not built according to symmetrical geometry, although these passages are very straight, they do not follow the common normal four directions (southeast, northwest, northwest), and even oblique four directions (northeast, southwest and other quadripartaries), each passage has a specific azimuth, but these azimuths are not arbitrary.

Wang Xingguo carefully recalled the road he had walked, starting from the south and then going northwest, passing through the wide and long road, there was a small stone room, when Xia Ruobing and they had already crossed the small stone room, in front of a stone room I don't know what danger they encountered, they ran all the way back to the small stone room, and then they turned to the direction of the north-northeast, where there was the stone room with gems, when Wang Xingguo chased here, Xia Ruobing and the others were gone, and they opened the mechanism, It was 10° north-northeast and was forced to fold into this passage.

Wang Xingguo felt that there must be a special relationship between those stone chambers, and he roughly calculated that if he entered the passage on the left, he would directly lead to the first stone chamber where Xia Ruobing was in distress.

That is tantamount to going back, but you still have to find a way to open the stone door, Xia Ruobing may be not far ahead.

Wang Xingguo carefully looked at the passage and the vicinity of the stone gate, he saw a square stone concave in the wall, thought about it and pushed hard, the stone gate rumbled, the stone gate in front of it slowly rolled to the left, and at the same time Wang Xingguo saw that a square stone on the right side of the stone gate slowly pushed out, while the stone door of the left passage was closed.

"You can only open two passages at a time, close two passages...... Wang Xingguo sighed that this mechanism was exquisitely done, the stone gate leading to the northwest opened, Wang Xingguo waved his hand to drive away the dust, raised a glow stick, and got in......

Chen Badai felt a headache, and the murmuring voice in his head lingered, as if they were more noisy, but the medicine bottle on his body had long since known where it had gone, and the light of the spare flashlight in his hand was also average, and it couldn't illuminate much of the way, and it was impossible to turn back, so he could only stubbornly touch the wall of the passage and cautiously grope forward.

"This is also a treasure?!" Dick looked at the mountain of things in front of him and felt like he was joking with himself.

"Dick, culture is the treasure of humanity." Xia Ruobing glanced at Dick contemptuously, and he judged correctly, Betelgeuse Wuli is the most precious thing - the ceiling and walls here are full of murals, perhaps the reason why the painter has more time, the pictures here are richer, and the lines are more delicate, in addition to the daily life of the Loulan people, there are also royal etiquette, weddings and funerals, the exchange of goods in the market, etc., and the murals are also accompanied by a brief introduction to Lu Wen, which is simply the best model for studying the ancient Loulan culture!

"Only what can be taken is valuable!" Dick shouted, if Betelgeuse was a store of gold and silver, and Betelgeuse was a gemstone, how could there be something more valuable in Betelgeuse's stone chamber, and at the very least, porcelain, right? But there are piles of objects on the stone platform here, and the rich people will not look at them at the auction......

Rolls and rolls of silk and cloth were stored on the stone platform of Betelgeuse, and Dick admitted that silk was hard currency in ancient times 2,000 years ago, but the silk stored for 2,000 years was worthless, they were already fragile, Dick reached out and touched lightly, and a bundle of silk broke into a large piece.

Dick was a little unwilling, didn't there be some gold and silver jewelry here? He saw some wooden boxes on the stone platform to the west, and walked over to open them with hope.

“SHIT!” Dick looked at the contents of the box and felt angry.

The box used to be filled with pearls, but in the dry environment of 2000, the pearls had already turned into a pile of powder, and when I opened another box, it was a box of shells!

“GOD!” Dick flicked the lid of the box and slammed it shut.

2,000 years ago, pearls and shells were undoubtedly the most precious things in Loulan, which was located inland. They traveled from the distant Eastern Empire and followed the caravans along the Silk Road to Loulan, where a pearl was worth more than a gold pearl of the same size, and those rare shells could also be used as currency, but now these things have no commercial value except for research, and no one at the auction will pay for a 2,000-year-old shell!

Xia Ruobing doesn't care about Dick's irritability, these murals and Lu Wen are enough to make Xia Ruobing ecstatic, which can fill many gaps about Loulan.

"Didn't those Poseidon bastards be here? But where the hell is that damn seal of the king?! Dick wandered around the stone chamber irritably, this was the treasure he wanted most.

"Dick, calm down." Mr. Min advised him.

"How do I calm down? I couldn't calm down at all...... What the is this? Dick yelled angrily.

"Even if you get the royal seal, you have to find a way to get out, don't you?" Mr. Min asked rhetorically.

“SHIT!” Dick scolded, Mr. Min was right, from now on, Xia Ruobing's judgment is not wrong, the Loulan people established this royal tomb according to the distribution of Orion, there are hidden mechanisms in the passage between each stone chamber, and the beard is a lesson from the past, and now it is more important to find a safe passage to get out, as for Wang Yin...... Even if he didn't find it, the gold, silver, and gems would be enough to shut up Christopher and wait for the next time he was more prepared.

"So, Chief Advisor, what do we do now?" Dick asked, sitting down on a rock in dismay.

"Wait!" Xia Ruobing replied with a word.

"What are you waiting for?"

"The organ will return to its position, we must follow a specific route, and then wait for the mechanism to return to its position, and then go to Betelgeuse......

"And then?!" Dick's eyes widened, did he still have to go through the passage of the hidden mechanism?

"If nothing goes wrong, the exit will be on Betelgeuse, or on Orion's head." Xia Ruobing said.

Betelgeuse is the bright star on Orion's right shoulder, and in the western constellation logo, it is Orion's hand holding a stick, Betelgeuse is Orion's left hand holding a shield, and high between the two bright stars, there is a dark star, which is Orion's head.

“SHIT!” Dick sat down dejectedly, and though he saw the gold and precious stones, how to get them out was still a problem, and how to get out of it himself was the biggest problem now.

Mr. Min searched along the edge of the stone chamber, and sure enough, he found two stone doors, one leading to Orion's head and the other leading to Betelgeuse.

"Xia Ruobing, there's a piece of Lu Wen here." Mr. Min saw a blood-red inscription on the stone door on the left, which was very different from other inscriptions.

"These are the words written to you......" Xia Ruobing said in a low voice.

"Written for me?" Mr. Min didn't know what to do.

"The meeting in this world is a reunion after a long absence." Xia Ruobing pointed at Lu Wen and read, "The high priest once said the same thing to you. ”

"Nope! No way! Mr. Min's face turned pale, and he took two steps back, feeling dizzy.
