Hearing Shen Cha's words, Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian, and Jin Jing all looked at Qin Zheng and Yan Bo, their eyes full of doubts.

"It's a little bit of a side. The so-called Desert Flower suddenly appeared in the pond on the basement floor of the palace after the death of the Emperor of the Kingdom of Heaven, but no one can say exactly how it appeared, because this flower was accidentally discovered by a traveler who happened to come here in later generations. The first person to discover the flower left a message in the city that the flower was closely related to the deceased monarch of the kingdom of Qi. ”

"Is it cultivated by the monarch of the kingdom?" Shen Cha frowned, "Or did you say that after the monarch passed away, it became this flower?" ”

"How can a monarch become a flower? The idea is so peculiar! Shen Haolin thought this statement was funny, and patted Shen Cha's head, "It's not a folk anecdote." ”

"Just think about it, what if it's the truth?" Shen Cha flattened his mouth, "So, what's going on with this flower?" ”

"When the kingdom suffered a natural disaster, in order to protect the queen and his own sons and daughters, the king put them all in the highest place of the palace, and he followed the first layer of the palace into the yellow sand."

This means that there was no so-called underground palace in this palace, and the floor where the master found the desert flower was actually the ground floor of the original palace. The pond itself is on the ground, but it has become underground because of external forces? Shen Cha picked up the pen, hastily drew a picture on the paper, and shook his head, "No, I don't think it's right." Let's make a hypothesis, let's say that this royal palace has two floors. ”

"It's a three-story building, and what we see is an underground palace plus two floors above ground, and the royal palace is structurally intact and has not been affected by violent ground movements and subsidence." Qin Zheng walked over and pointed at the map, "This layer is the underground palace with a pond and a desert flower, and the upper two layers are normal palaces. ”

"No, Master." Shen Cha waved his hand, "This building should be a structure with one layer of underground and two floors above ground, there is no underground palace that appears after sinking, it should always exist." Otherwise, it is impossible for people to have the opportunity to go to the lower floor, absolutely impossible. I even suspect that it was because of the problem of the underground palace that caused the earth movement in the country. However......" Shen Cha spread his hands, "Doubts can only be doubts, hundreds of years have passed, and there is no way to verify them." ”

"This ......" Qin Zheng and Yan Bo glanced at each other, "It is very likely, our guess at the time was that he was still alive when the monarch fell with the palace, but due to lack of food and water, he died soon after." But now it seems that Xiaocha's suspicion should be the closest to what he really thought, then, if the records of the so-called ground movement and storm are true, then this palace should be translated to the current position. ”

"If you pan, ......" Shen Haolin touched his chin and looked at Shen Cha's picture, "Why do you pan?" Why is it that only this palace or this city has not been buried because of the earth's movements? Is there a difference between this ancient city and other cities? ”

"Grandpa Guo is very sensitive." Yan Bo nodded, "This city is made of gold, like a fake golden city. But what is the difference between the city made of gold and other cities, we don't know much, and there is no way to delve into it. All we can do is to recognize that this city was lucky enough to survive the earthquake and the wind. ”

"Xiaocha, don't worry about how this city has become what it is now, what we want to focus on is the flower of the desert." Xue Ruitian waved his hand towards Shen Cha, "According to legend, the Desert Flower is in the pond on the basement floor of the palace, but ...... We all have a common sense that water is very scarce in the desert, and after a catastrophe, water is extremely precious. In order to survive, the water in the pond must have been drunk long ago, right? ”

"We found the record of this pond, this pond was already there, but the water in the pond had long since dried up, and the flowers in the pond had already withered before the natural disaster came, in other words, there was no such thing as a flower here. This is a relatively normal phenomenon for a city in the desert. But what we saw at the time was not like this, it was a clear pond and a pond full of well-growing flowers, which looked very beautiful and very watery. ”

"This ancient city is very weird, and this is a conclusion that we have come to together." "It's a place full of legends, and there's a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense. Yan Bo spread his hands, "How did that peculiar desert flower appear, and why it can still grow so vigorous after the disappearance of the kingdom for three hundred years, these are all incomprehensible." ”

"There's one more important point." Qin Zheng picked up the map that Xue Ruitian found from the old marquis's codex, "This thing is useless at all, if you want to go, you can only grope your way forward, and it depends on luck whether you can find it or not." ”

"It's an ancient city that moves, and it doesn't stay in one place forever?" Seeing Qin Zheng nodding slightly, Shen Cha sighed, "Master, how did you find it that time?" And what about the master's previous trip to the ancient city? ”

"By luck, by mistake. The time Whelan went by himself, because he strayed into the desert and got lost in it, and he didn't know how to walk and found the ancient city. The time we went, it was Whelan who took us there with his own impressions. The time between these two trips to the ancient city is not very long, about two or three years, the ancient city moves relatively slowly, we are in the place of Whelan's memory, a little further east to find this ancient city. But if you go back now, it's definitely not in the same location. ”

"With the change of wind and sand, the direction is slowly shifted, and there are similar records in the book, and many ancient cities in the desert are like this." Shen Cha nodded, "Master, what does that desert flower look like?" ”

"Well, it's a bit like a peony, but it doesn't have the grace and luxury of a peony, the color is very bright, the stamens are light yellow, touch the petals, it will automatically close. However, this flower will emit a very strong pungent smell, and it is easy to get dizzy after a long time. ”

"Looking at it this way, the so-called desert flower can show what you think is nonsense." Shen Haolin sneered, "Like Cha'er said before, it's really an illusion, since it's an illusion, there's no need to bother looking for it." ”

"That's right, it's too risky." Shen Cha and Jin Jing both agreed, "A thing that makes people hallucinate is not worth the risk." ”

"The idea of going to the ancient city and the flower should be dispelled!" Yan Bo shook his head, "How many people want to see this legendary golden city, how many people can come out of the vast desert alive, and most of them have never returned." I can remind you that you have a heavy responsibility, and the fate of the entire Jiaping Guancheng is in your hands, if you have a hot head...... If you do something you shouldn't do, you really become a sinner in Great Xia, understand? Don't let the small be the big one. ”

"We know, you two, don't worry, we're not going to do that kind of brainless thing." Shen Haolin solemnly promised, "As for Xiaotian...... I'll look out for him, and I'm sure he's a smart guy who wouldn't do anything stupid. ”

"That's how it works, if not...... But don't blame us for being polite. Yan Bo looked at Xue Ruitian, "I know that you have always wanted to find out about your mother's case, but I must remind you once again that it is okay to overturn the case, there must be conclusive evidence in your hand, that flower will not help you, but will cause you big trouble." Your father ......," Yan Bo sighed, "After your father went to the ancient city, he gave the first emperor a plea and asked the first emperor to punish him severely. But the first emperor remembered his military exploits and asked him to make meritorious contributions. Do you want to follow your father's old path? ”

"Since it's an illusion, forget it, I'm not that interested in that Golden City." Xue Ruitian sighed, "It's better to honestly look for evidence, and don't want those crooked ways." ”

"We're glad you can see that." Uncle Yan looked at Xue Ruitian with a smile, "Okay, you have to eat the rice one bite at a time, you can't eat it all at once and become a fat man, right?" ”
