Climbing over the waist-high wall, on the inner side of the city wall, we saw a scene that was even more spectacular than what we had seen in the porcelain kiln before.

The roads inside the city are intricate, with more than a dozen ring-shaped main roads tens of meters wide, which is much the same as the highways of modern cities.

The buildings in the city are all domed and round walls, there is no Tibetan style at all, the buildings are all built in a ring, one ring after another until a circular hall in the center, the hall looks extremely magnificent and tall from a distance.

Xue Ning's excited voice trembled a little when he looked at this situation: "This ...... This is a ...... that shocked China. No, no, this is a new discovery that shocked the world. It will go down in history. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" The fat man didn't care much after a few glances, and he went to find a place where he could tie a rope, as if he was preparing to go down to the interior of the ancient city from here.

"It's not an exaggeration, this will be another wonder of the world, and there has never been such a precedent for an ancient city that has been preserved for thousands of years."

I looked into the city, although the houses were very dilapidated, but the basic form was still quite well preserved, I could not see that it was that style of building, but looking at the conical spires with curves, they looked a bit like the type of Indian architecture.

The fat man found several places to tie the rope, but the wall collapsed without a few hard pulls. It seems that the low walls on the inner side are not necessary for defense, so they are all brick walls made of one layer. On the outside, there are huge strips of stone, and there are hollows and raised mortise and tenon joints on the stones, which are quite strong, and I guess it is difficult to explode even the shells with smaller calibers now.

Xue Ning shook his head again and again when he saw the fat man destroying the ruins like this, and he didn't have the heart to care about whether to destroy the country's property or not.

My attention was drawn entirely to the tall and magnificent building in the center, and as far as I could see, I guessed that the building in the center had four or five stories, and each floor might be five or six meters high. The bottom is obscured by buildings on the edge, but you can also see that the foundation is quite large.

At the top of the building, in addition to the conical spire, there is also a terrace that rises into the air. The terrace should have a panoramic view of the city.

Looking at the buildings in the city, I heard Xue Ning say that there should be a connecting road in the center of these buildings, and if the outer layer is defeated by the enemy, the passage to the interior can be closed, so that even if the city is broken, it can still resist for a long time. Presumably, there is still a secret passage leading to the outside in the palace hall in the very center, and members of the royal family can also use these times to escape in time.

I could clearly feel that Xue Ning was still quite excited. Such a discovery is not only a breakthrough in their research, but also a name in the industry.

"Xiao Lu, look what it is."

At this time, I was helping the fat man find a place to tie the rope, and I didn't listen to Xue Ning, who was talking eloquently. When he saw that I wasn't paying much attention to listen, he shut up himself, and after a long silence he came up with this sentence.

I went to see where he was, probably above the central hall of the city. The sky above the main hall was not too high, and a black mist floated on it, and the black mist wriggled as if it were alive. It seems that the black gas is still spreading around.

When I saw it, I suddenly felt bad, such a black mist must be poisonous. In the rainforest before, I had only inhaled the miasma for a short time, and the hallucinations caused by it had almost driven me crazy. I didn't expect there to be some people in the city, so it seems that we have to do some measures to go in.

Immediately I called the fat man, and he had the same idea as I did. Fortunately, Xue Ning's medicine was carried with him. When he took it out, we found that because the aluminum box was not very well sealed, all the pills were damp and all stuck together, but it should be fine.

It still smelled so bad that we pinched our noses, and each of us poured another one with water. The fat man had already found the place to tie the rope at this time, because the rope was long enough, he was directly tied to the other end, but there was no way to recover it after going down.

The fat man said, "It's all right, maybe we'll have to get out of here." ”

The fat man patted his chest and was about to go down. I immediately stopped him: "Wait a minute, the city is so big, we have to confirm the direction, otherwise it will be like a labyrinth." The person was not found, and we got lost again. ”

The fat man touched his chin: "That's the truth, but we're going that way, do you remember where Raba's voice came from?" ”

Raba's voice had been heard several hours earlier, and we had walked a long distance, and Rabah had not made a sound, and that direction was indeed difficult to estimate now.

"Where, there." Xue Ning shouted at this time, and I reacted only to find that the fat man was no longer in front of me, so I turned around, and then I saw that the fat man and Xue Ning were both looking at the city in the direction we came.

In the ruined buildings of the city, a wisp of green smoke drifted up from the building. If it weren't for the souls of the ancestors here who were still cooking, it must have been Rabah or the two who had gone missing.

We don't dare to speculate anymore and delay time, if we can make a fire, then we must still be alive. Immediately down the rope. It's still quite easy to descend from top to bottom, as long as you control the tightness of the stick that is wrapped around the rope in your hand, you can slide down smoothly, but the end of the rope that falls to the ground is almost 1.5 meters high from the ground. I was stumbled because I didn't notice.

Xue Ning really can't go up, and he can't go down. We could still hoist him up if we climbed up, but now we had to rely on him. It took him another long time before his legs trembled and fell to the ground.

After coming down from the city wall, the green smoke was already blocked by the building, but fortunately the fat man recorded the direction when he was on it. It's just that when we came down, it seemed that we landed in a courtyard built against the wall.

The courtyard is long, we searched for a long time but did not find the door to the outside, one side is a city wall twenty or thirty meters high, and the remaining three directions are also a rammed earth wall of three or four meters.

"Hey, doesn't this family repair the pigsty, it seems that everyone in this ancient city is a martial arts master, and one by one he will do light work."

Xue Ning looked around and touched the rammed earth wall: "It's not a pigsty, this is a sandwich road, which is also set up to defend against foreign enemies, and it plays the same role as a circular building complex." He gasped a little when he came down, and after saying this, he panted even more violently.

According to Xue Ning, this city should be quite militarized, and every building is set up to defend against external attacks. But the defense is so strong, why is it the current dilapidated appearance, what happened thousands of years ago?

The rammed earth wall is more than three meters high, and if one person comes down, he may really have to go back and find another way, but how can we have three people now, and it is not difficult to go up.

We can now climb the rammed earth wall with the help of others, and when the attack in the wall city is strictly defended, the inside of the rammed earth wall must be arranged with many crossbowmen, and falling into our current position must be the treatment of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart.

I stepped on the fat man under my feet, and then his support went to the rammed earth wall, and sure enough, after seeing the rammed earth wall, it was close to the building that was a head higher than it, and there was a hole in the building where the crossbowmen could release arrows, but people couldn't get in, and the roof of the building was a slope, obliquely to the inside of the rammed earth wall, and even if someone climbed to my place, they would definitely be stabbed to death by the blade sticking out of the window of the building.

They were also pulled up by me, and behind the building was a circular road. At this time, the fat man suddenly wanted to walk from the roof, saying that he could probably see the direction of the smoke. As a result, he climbed to the top of the sloping roof, and with a click the roof came the sound of wood breaking, and then the smoke rose, and the fat man stepped on the roof and fell.

I wanted to get him, but it was too late. Fortunately, after the noise stopped, I heard the fat man's scolding from the hole where the fat man had trampled on me.

The two of us had no choice but to go down through the hole he stepped on, and the space inside the building was very small, there should be several floors, because when we went down, we saw that there was a big hole in the wooden floor on this floor, and the fat man fell and smashed through two floors.

I shouted, "It's okay for you." ”

"Fuck it, these people are really unkind, cutting corners." The height of the floor is no more than the height of one person, and it should be impossible for him to scold after two floors.

When we looked down the stairs, we found that the space here is not very small, but it is divided into many small rooms with wooden partitions, which is also estimated to be a setting to prevent invasion, I secretly thought to myself, Bi Ding, who designed these city fortifications, is a military wizard like Zhuge Liang, but in this remote area, what is the city defense defense of nature protection?

After looking around, we couldn't find the stairs going down. Instead, the ladders are covered by wooden planks and go straight down, and these staircase openings are supposed to be deliberately hidden. Through the sound, the fat man was found. He was no longer in the position to fall.

When I walked to his side, I realized that he was looking at something in front of a room, and I didn't respond to a few calls to him. The two of us walked over, and Xue Ning was so frightened that he screamed when he saw it. In the room that the fat man was looking at, dozens of white bones in black armor were stacked horizontally.

I immediately recoiled at the sight of this, for the first time in my life I had seen so many dead human bones so whole.

The fat man squatted down, and there was no taboo at all, so he went to touch the whole body of the white bones. I saw that there were many lacerations in the limbs and necks of these bones, and the heads of the bones were still attached, but all of them looked backwards.

"They were stabbed in the back, and when they reacted, their throats had already been cut." The fat man gasped.

When I heard him say this, I probably noticed something from the bones I saw, and I sighed, "It seems that such a good fortification of the city has not been held."

As a result, when the fat man heard what I said, he snorted coldly: "It's not an offensive and defensive war, this starts from the inside, and they didn't react at all, so they were killed." ”

"Coup d'état?" From the inside out, and looking at it as it is, it's almost the same as slaughter. Naturally, it is impossible for the troops of other countries to enter the city with such defensive measures, and only a coup d'état can cause such a massacre. It is possible that the makers of the coup d'état have already installed their own people in the fortifications a long time ago, and as soon as the order is issued, they can take advantage of their unpreparedness to kill those who do not belong to their own party.

The fat man shook his head: "As for whether it was a coup d'état or a traitor's invasion, then I don't know." ”

"Let's go quickly, I'm really uncomfortable looking at these dead people, let's go find someone quickly." Xue Ning was a little uneasy, dragging me and the fat man to leave.

Regardless of whether Xue Ning wants to leave here out of fear, or is really in a hurry to find someone, the purpose of our trip is indeed to find someone, and there is no point in studying these, so it is better to leave immediately to find someone.

To be honest, I was also a little uneasy in my heart, looking at these bones with their mouths wide open, I don't know what the expression was when I died, but it must not be a peaceful face, and I inevitably felt a little hairy in my heart.

After getting off the building, we came to the outermost ring road, which resembled the view on the city walls. The road was paved with large stone slabs, and between the cracks of the stone slabs were also squeezed out of the weeds that grew luxuriantly, and several stone slabs were propped up by the roots and stems of the stout small trees.
