There is something strange about the city of heavenly springs

The fog is even more eerie

Ghost town, this place is naturally not for people to live in!

The reason why it is called a ghost town is, of course, it is used for ghosts!

Of course, its name was not originally called a ghost town, its original name was a very elegant name, called Tianquan City!

And the reason why it is called Tianquan City is because there is a spring at the top of this city, a spring that is extremely clear.

From a distance, it feels like it is embedded in the sky, white, clear and flawless, like a meteor in the Milky Way, bright and unforgettable.

This Tianquan City is divided into nine floors, like a pyramid-like pattern, our location is the lowest floor, the overall construction style here is very simple houses, scattered, irregular, looking like a slum from a distance. And as the stairs get higher, you will find that the scale and level of the building complex will also increase, from the humble stone houses to the majestic courtyard mansions, and by the time you reach the seventh or eighth level, it has become an ancient palace with pavilions and pavilions!

And at the top of this pyramid is the fairyland-like spring.

This mirror-clear spring water poured down along the four locations of due east, south, west, and north, like four silver threads shining the ghostly Tianquan City in a thin mist.

In addition, the difference between each floor of this nine-story Tianquan City is at least more than ten meters, but there is not even a staircase around it, not only that, let alone a staircase, not even the slightest point of focus, there is only an incomparably smooth black rock wall.

And on this pitch-black rock wall, there are countless murals carved into it. The content of the mural is very complicated, there are about birds and beasts, there are about war, there are also about some mysterious sacrifices, and of course, there are also about this Tianquan City......

All in all, everything here seems real and vague, like being in a fantasy and like hell.

I stared at everything in front of me in a daze, and I was unconsciously stupid.

"Hey! What's wrong? Stunned by what you see? After a long time, Zhang Chengyong murmured beside me: "To be honest with you, when I first saw this city, I also reacted in this way. ”

"Heavenly Spring City! Spring City! ...... Heavenly Spring City," I said these three words over and over again, "everything here is truly spectacular, but I always feel that everything here is familiar!" ”

"Familiar?" Zhang Chengyong asked in surprise.

"Yes! I always felt like I'd seen this city somewhere! I thought hard and said, "Actually, I should have seen a model of this city." ”

"You mean......" At this time, Xiaomei suddenly interjected: "Nine-story Boshan incense burner? ”

"That's right! It is the nine-story Boshan incense burner! I nodded.

When we set off to the ancient tomb of Yuke at the foot of Changbai Mountain, I had inquired about the relevant information about the nine-story Boshan incense burner on the train, although the Boshan furnace currently displayed in the Shanxi Museum is an imitation of the later folk artists, but it is a fake at any time, but whether it is the shape or the production process, it is one to one according to the Boshan furnace made by Wang Yuan back then, and from the photos on the official website of the Shanxi Museum, the shape and design of the Boshan furnace is exactly the same as the Tianquan City in front of you. There is no gap at all.

"You mean to say that this Tianquan City is a large Boshan furnace?" At this time, a cold voice came from behind me.

I didn't look back, because I could already tell that the voice was coming from the big lady who was as cold as ice.

"Yes! That's what I mean! I said lightly. Miss, we came here this time for the nine-story Boshan furnace that Wang Yuan stayed here back then. ”

Although this cold eldest lady didn't ask, I still took the initiative to explain our purpose this time, in fact, it was to give her a reassuring pill, so that she could know that the purpose of our trip was completely different from theirs, so as not to pose a threat to them, at least to reduce the chance of these guys taking a cold shot for the three of us in the future.

"I'm not called Miss!" The woman said coldly. "My surname is Leng, you can call me ICE, or you can call me Sister ICE!"

“ice！” I smiled and turned around, looked at her, looked at her charming and cold eyes, and said with a smile, "Good name!" People are as their name suggests! ”

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!" Ice said, "Do you have a way to get to the top?" ”

"You are so well armed, explosives, and weapons, can't you get up?" I asked curiously.

"We've tried 32 times during your coma, but none of them have been able to get up!" Ice said coldly, as if these things had nothing to do with her, as if she was talking about someone else's business.

"Didn't make it once?" I asked, surprised.

"Not once!" Ice said.

"What is the reason for the failure?" I asked.

"Trap! Lots of traps! And it will change differently depending on the time, so we haven't figured out the law yet! Ice frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly raised her head and stared at me and said, "Since you can see that this place is similar to what nine-story furnace, do you also know the mechanism here?" ”

"I know the nine-story Boshan furnace, and I also know that this Tianquan City was built by Wang Yuan, but I don't know about the mechanism here!" I said with a smile.

"You don't know?" Ice said, staring at me.

"Yes! I don't know, but someone does. I said lightly.

"Who?" Ice asked anxiously. "Speak quickly!"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" I asked.

"Because time is running out!" Ice said.

"What's the running out of time? You're running out of time? I asked curiously.

"It's not just me, it's ours!" Ice said.

"Oh? We're running out of time? What do you mean by that? I asked.

"I said we were running out of time, and that was because you killed the whirling turtle outside the Wall of Sighs, and the reason why this place was built as a turtle habitat was to absorb the aura between heaven and earth for the giant tortoise, so as to ensure the balance between the mountains and the water. And you slammed it to death on the wall of sighs, and the balance of the water was broken. When the turtle dies, the water rises, and when the water rises, the gas breaks, and when the air is broken, the landslide, the landslide ......" When she said this, she suddenly stopped, and said slowly: "The landslide is the death!" I think you still understand this, right? ”

I couldn't help but gasp when I heard what Ice said, I didn't answer her words, not because I didn't want to answer, but because I didn't know how to answer for a while.

After a while, I sighed and said slowly: "I can't break the mechanism of this Tianquan City, there is only one person here who can, and that is ......"

I wanted to go back and greet Xiaomei, but when I turned around, Xiaomei, who was standing behind me, disappeared at this time.

Not only did Xiaomei not know where to go, but even Zhang Chengyong, who had been by my side all the time, didn't know where to go at this time.

"Where are the two of them?" I turned around and yelled at Ice.

However, what I never expected was that ICE was nowhere to be seen, leaving me alone in front of the door of the stone house, as if they had never been there.

The wind, the biting cold wind blew across my face.

The feeling of cold stimulated every nerve in me and drove away all my sleepiness, but the more awake I was at this time, the more I felt a fear that I had never felt before.

I took a deep breath and tapped my head hard with both hands, telling myself, "Don't be afraid! Be calm! Only calmness can come up with countermeasures, and only calmness can know what is happening! ”

It's an autosuggestion, and I don't know if it's going to work, but there's only one way for me to do it.

I kept adjusting my breathing and thinking about what had just happened.

I know Zhang Chengyong's skills, although he is not a first-class master, but no matter who wants to kill him silently, it is absolutely impossible.

In addition to Zhang Chengyong, ice and Xiaomei are also considered heroines among women, especially that ice, although I haven't seen her shoot, but, according to my inference, the person who can restrain her in an instant in this world is estimated to have not been born yet.

However, they all disappeared out of thin air in an instant.

What's going on?

Did they go on their own?

But why would they do this?

What did they see?

Or did you encounter something strange and sudden?

So why am I the only one who hasn't been taken away?

No answers!

Countless thoughts and thoughts crossed my mind in an instant, and I felt like my head was about to explode, but there was still no clue.

I close my eyes and try to keep myself from thinking of anything.

As the minutes ticked by, my breathing began to steady, and my thoughts began to clear. I looked around and saw that everything was the same as before, except that the fog, which had been as thin as frost, was now much thicker, and everywhere I could reach it.

I squatted on the ground and looked at it, and there were messy footprints in the dust on the ground, some of them were of adults, men, women, and a kind of paw prints that seemed to be rodents, and these footprints were scattered all over the place.

"What animal footprints are these? How can their footprints appear here? "I was curious.

And just as I was about to crouch down to take a closer look, suddenly a figure flickered in the thick fog on my right side, and a man rushed to one side.

"Who? Don't run! I shouted, and then, getting up, chased after the figure.

However, the fog grew thicker, and after a few turns, the figure disappeared.
