Chapter 18 This Place Is Called... Ten Thousand Flower Worm Nest
"What do you mean?" Bai Ling's expression became serious, and he felt that Qiu Shuang and Qiu Ling'er seemed to know something. Facing Bai Ling's gaze, Qiu Ling'er looked at Qiu Shuang with an inquiring gaze, and the meaning was obvious: Do you want to tell him?
Qiu Shuang leaned against the wall with her arms folded and said, "Yes, if you don't tell them, the people of the Tomb Breaking Alliance are likely to die here." ”
"Oh, okay." Qiu Ling'er nodded.
After listening to the simple conversation between the two, Bai Ling felt more and more that this matter was not simple.
"Ahem." After Qiu Ling'er cleared her throat, she finished sorting out her words and said, "Let's put it this way, you just said to my brother, we are in the ruins, which means that you Tomb Breaking Alliance should also know that this is the ruins of Loulan, but you still don't know the specific situation of this ruins, am I right?" ”
"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded.
"Well, we don't actually know about the internal structure of this ruin, all we know is the general situation and history of this Loulan ruin, but these alone should be enough to save your life." Qiu Ling'er said.
"You say." Bai Lingdao.
"Well, listen up, this Loulan ruin was secretly established by several members of the royal family of Loulan in the underground territory of Loulan before it was destroyed by the Northern Wei Dynasty, and its purpose is to ......." Qiu Ling'er began to say about the history of this underground ruin.
More than 1,000 years ago, when Loulan was destroyed by the Northern Wei Dynasty, several royal members of Loulan were unwilling to perish in Loulan, and secretly built a huge underground city in an underground in Loulan to take refuge and make a comeback.
The scale of this dungeon is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people living in it, but because it was built at the time of its demise, it was too late. Therefore, they only built less than half of it, and they had already moved into the dungeon with the required grain and grass materials, as well as some of the residents of Loulan.
In order to hide people's eyes and ears and prevent the Northern Wei Dynasty and the people who came to the border of Loulan later from discovering the dungeon, the residents of Loulan who built the dungeon built a very huge ancient tomb just above the dungeon, so that outsiders would think that this was an ancient tomb, so that the dungeon would not be discovered.
At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of the ancient tomb and the dungeon, the Loulan people raised all the insects they cultivated by special means in the ancient tomb to eliminate all foreign invaders.
This dungeon was originally called Wanhua City.
However, because of these bugs, this place also has a name, the Ten Thousand Flower Worm Nest......
Qiu Ling'er quickly finished talking about this......
After Bai Ling listened, he was a little incredulous, and after Qiu Ling'er finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "So, the place where we are now is actually an ancient tomb deliberately built by the Loulan people, the purpose is to hide people's eyes and ears, so that we can't find the dungeon." ”
"I... Can you ask a few questions? Bai Lingdao.
"You ask." Qiu Ling'er said.
"First, how do you know this?" Bai Ling asked, staring directly at Qiu Ling'er, who drifted his gaze to the side and said, "Oh, this question, I'm sorry, I can't tell you." ”
"......." Bai Ling didn't know what to say for a while, he felt that what Qiu Ling'er had just said should not be lying. But.... He couldn't understand, Qiu Shuang and Qiu Ling'er, how did they know these things?
"Whew....." After Bai Ling let out a sigh, he asked, "Second question, how did you say that these insects survived until now?" Do they have the same characteristics as black mantises? (Black mantis, see Chapter 9 for details)
After Qiu Ling'er heard this, she looked around and smiled: "Hehe, when you first entered the ancient tomb, did you feel very cold?" ”
"Yes, that's what I want to ask, it's obviously a desert here, even at night, it shouldn't be cold like this." Bai Ling stepped forward and asked, the question about the temperature of the ancient tomb was the third question he wanted to ask.
Faced with these two questions, Qiu Ling'er still didn't answer, but asked another question: "What do you think of the current temperature?" ”
"Now? Forehead......" Bai Ling was stunned when he heard this, and then began to feel the current temperature. He felt that although the temperature in the ancient tomb was still relatively cold, it was much warmer than before he had just entered the ancient tomb.
"It's warmer than when you came in, what's going on?" Bai Ling asked in surprise.
Qiu Ling'er replied with a smile: "Haha, actually, the outer part and the middle part of this ancient tomb are made of a kind of dark iron that will emit cold air, and the cold air emitted, coupled with the sealed space, makes this ancient tomb a huge refrigerator, and the environment in the ancient tomb is too cold, and those insects will naturally go into hibernation." ”
"What did you say!" Bai Ling was shocked when he heard this.
"Yes, hibernation, these insects cultivated by the Loulan people with special means, in addition to being very aggressive and toxic, also have the characteristics of hibernation, as long as the environment is too cold, they will enter hibernation, so as to survive for a long time."
After speaking, Qiu Ling'er's eyes looked at the stone wall next to him, the frost on the stone wall had turned into a little droplet, Qiu Ling'er said: "You open the entrance under the altar, and when you enter the ancient tomb, the mechanism will also be opened." And the mechanism, which is the various vents of this ancient tomb, is used to let the warm temperature enter the ancient tomb and let all the hibernating insects wake up. If the vent mechanism wants to close, it will have to wait at least five days. ”
"......." Bai Ling was speechless in shock, and then said in a daze: "Within five days, the insects are enough to kill all the intruders, right?" ”
"Well, you should have come in from the main entrance of the ancient tomb, and the mechanism of the main entrance can only be opened from the outside, and if you want to open it from the inside, you have to wait five days." Qiu Ling'er waved her hand.
"And you guys..... How did you get in? Bai Ling was still stunned.
"Vents, when you enter the tomb through the main entrance, all the vents in the tomb will be opened, and my brother and I came in through the open vents." Qiu Ling'er looked at Qiu Shuang and said.
Bai Ling was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, and now, all the things he didn't understand and doubted had been answered. It was just these answers that shocked him.
It's no wonder that there are tombs among the underground ruins, and it's no wonder that the last expedition team all died here.
No wonder the temperature in the tomb is so cold, no wonder there are such strange bugs here.
There is also the mine road that I just walked over, which is probably used to build the ancient tomb.
When he was still an intern, his cousin Bai Kaifeng and Uncle Chen often taught Bai Ling a sentence and never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. With this sentence, Bai Ling has a deeper understanding at this moment, but this kind of cognition is too profound......
