Chapter 348: Nine-Story Demon Tower
The nine-story demon tower is still full of attraction to everyone, and they plan to go in first to have a look, and then come back to collect the ghost cave inscriptions on the rock wall.
Step over the ice and enter the cave inside. After walking a distance, my vision instantly broadened a lot.
"This is also a mausoleum? Lao Hu, what's that flashing? Wang Kaixuan asked in a low voice. The distance is a bit far, and the light is not very strong, so it is impossible to see carefully.
"Fire ladybug, fire ladybug for sure! This must be the old nest of fire ladybugs, no wonder you don't see these bugs outside. "Hu Bayi.
The fat man asked puzzledly, "Old Hu, haven't you been here?" ”
"When I came that time, I just climbed over the ice above and didn't look closely. As Professor Chan said, the last time there was an earthquake here, the Grand Canyon shook open. I took a few warriors to escape the avalanche and entered a cave, but the entrance to the cave was blocked by heavy snow, so I tried to find a way inside. There is a path above the head of this nine-story demon tower. At that time, I just watched from a distance, and I didn't look closely. Later, he encountered the fire ladybug again, and did not associate the light he saw here with the fire ladybug...... Now it seems that this is the old nest of the fire ladybug. Hu Bayi said.
"Old foreigner, you said that these insects can burn people to death when they meet people...... Will you buy it? Partridge Whistle asked.
"Senior brother, you mean...... I see, I'm going to take these bugs! ”
The old foreigner was overjoyed and understood the meaning of the partridge's whistle. He took three steps and made two steps, and rushed towards the nine-story demon tower.
"Professor Chen, you wait here, wait for the old foreigner to collect these fire ladybugs before going down, otherwise this thing is a great threat to you." Honggu said.
"Okay, okay, we'll just wait here, and there's no hurry." Professor Chen was not in a hurry, so he stood at the entrance of this cave and watched the operation of the old foreigner with everyone.
The old foreigner's operation was not troublesome, he went down to the vicinity of the nine-story demon tower, took out a cloth bag from his body to open the opening, and yelled at the pieces of fire ladybugs: "Give it to me!" ”
As soon as the voice came out, those fire ladybugs suddenly woke up and attacked the old foreigner like a long dragon. The old foreigner shook the cloth bag in his hand, and saw a huge suction force coming out, sucking those fire ladybugs into the pocket.
"Partridge whistle senior, that, uh, what kind of treasure is the bag in the hand of that old foreigner senior? Can you let those fire ladybugs line up to get in, and can you fit so many fire ladybugs? Hu Bayi asked.
"It's called a pet bag, and it's used in the organization to hold pets. Don't say that these insects are more than enough to fit the nine-story demon building, which can be regarded as a space magic weapon. However, this space magic weapon is breathable, which is suitable for creatures to stay in. If you want to change it to something like a space ring, these fire ladybugs will all die if they fit it in. Partridge Whistle explained.
"Space magic weapon? Partridge Whistle seniors, you ...... Isn't it a legendary immortal? Is it the kind of existence like a pre-Qin Qi practitioner? Hu Bayi asked.
Although there are great limitations in this era, Hu Bayi's grandfather Hu Guohua is well-informed, and he has seen a lot of strange people and strange things when he traveled south and north, and he likes to talk to Hu Bayi when he has nothing to do.
"It's pretty much what you think, but it's not quite. Don't ask, you kid, you will see more methods that you can't imagine along the way, and if you join the organization in the future, you will naturally know. Partridge Whistle said with a slight hint of meaning.
Although he has a calm temperament, there is an old saying that wealth does not return to his hometown, such as brocade clothes at night. Isn't it a kind of display for them to use these means?
It's just that when they are older, they won't be as flamboyant as young people, and they show off as if everyone knows about it.
"This means, this ability...... Lao Hu, why do I get more and more excited? Wang Fatzi looked at the bag in the old foreigner's hand with some obsession and whispered.
Hu Bayi whispered in the fat man's ear: "Don't talk about you, who is not?" Professor Chen and Professor Hao also have a few college students...... They're just embarrassed to say it. ”
"Why are you embarrassed to say? Just ask, didn't you just ask, it's okay to ask a few more words based on their relationship, right? The fat man was puzzled.
"People talk about science, how can you explain this method in a scientific way?" Hu Bayi pursed his lips and said.
"W-how do you explain that? Come on, I won't ask any more. Lao Hu, if you want to enter that organization, you have to take me with you. Wang Kaixuan said again.
"You must be indispensable, and I can have a helper with you. Okay, don't talk about this, that old foreigner senior has almost collected the fire ladybugs, and we are about to go down. Wait, no matter what comes your way, you must remember that you must never take anything. Hu Bayi said.
The fat man said again: "No, aren't we here just for the treasure...... Yes, you can do whatever you say, I'll listen to you. ”
"You're a baby in your head, didn't I tell you earlier? When we join the organization, can we still lack this treasure? Hu Bayi hated that iron could not be made of steel.
The fat man listens to Hu Bayi's words very much, but his dedication to the baby ...... That's just going deep into the bone marrow!
"Yes, yes, yes, or Lao Hu, you look carefully, I'm just trying to talk fast." Wang Kaixuan suddenly remembered what he had said in the canyon before, and smiled, not caring about any cheekiness.
"Alright, let's go down and have a look!"
The partridge whistle glanced at Hu Bayi and the fat man, Professor Chen's group didn't hear what they were muttering, but they all listened carefully.
"Then go down and take a look, everyone be careful, don't run and destroy the things here, everything here is a precious cultural relic, it must be well preserved, and it must not be destroyed because of carelessness." Chu Jian, you are responsible for taking pictures, you must take pictures carefully. ”
Professor Chen explained as he went down.
"Okay, Professor, slow down." Chu Jian responded.
The scale of this nine-story demon building made Professor Chen sigh with emotion. This was not the first time he had heard of the Nine-Story Demon Tower, but it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes, and it was extremely well preserved. When he came to the front to watch, Professor Chen, who watched it, was very excited, and he felt a feeling of blood boiling, calling it a miracle in the archaeological world, a miracle that was enough to shock the world.
As for the treasures, there are a lot of utensils in the nine-story demon building, and the year should be extremely ancient. But no other treasures have been found, not even the coffin of the tomb's owner.
"Lao Hu, where do you say this old man is buried? Let's go around, it's full of slaves who accompany the burial, what about the owner of this big tomb? Where the hell are you buried? The fat man asked again.
"It is estimated that there is a mechanism hidden, and it is not possible to find the coffin in a while. We came here in a hurry this time, and I guess we couldn't find the coffin. Hu Bayi said after taking a turn in the nine-story demon building.
"Anyway, we can't take the baby, let's find a place to rest and talk about those ......."
The fat man didn't finish speaking, and his head tilted slightly. This hint was obvious to Hu Bayi, and he immediately understood it. Hu Ba nodded: "It's okay, let's go sit next to us and smoke a cigarette." ”
"Hehe, I have the idea, smoke a cigarette too. By the way, there were several corpses on the stairs where we entered, and one of them had a necklace around its neck, are we ......" the fat man whispered.
"Take the necklace, and give the bag on the corpse to my granddaughter for a chance......"
Honggu's voice sounded in the ears of the two, and the two looked in the direction where the voice came from, but they only saw Honggu accompanying Yang Yan and Yang Xue to talk and laugh at the end of the nine-story demon building, and they didn't notice them at all. According to the distance, how can this be thirty or forty meters, didn't Yang Xue hear the sound?
"It's done, everyone says it's no problem, then I'll take it. As for that bag...... I went to look for it, but I didn't look at it just now, I just glanced at it. ”
The fat man got permission, and he was immediately happy, and hurried over to the corpse.
This kind of ancient tomb is really not attractive to the Partridge Whistle people, they have wandered around the world over the years, and they have stolen countless tombs, not to mention the treasures, those exercises and resources are what they value the most.
Here, only the demon kingdom related to the nine-story demon tower can make Partridge Whistle interested. He speculated that the Demon Kingdom was related to the Absolute Ancient Kingdom, and it also had a great relationship with the ghost cave in the Absolute Ancient Kingdom. But after turning around, he didn't find anything of value. The style in this nine-story demon tower is similar to that of the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom, but to a large extent, it is not very different......
In some ways, the year of existence of this nine-story demon tower was definitely before the fall of the Peerless Ancient Kingdom.
Just as Partridge Whistle was thinking, Hua Ling suddenly said, "Senior brother, do you think this is the birthplace of the Ghost Cave Clan?" ”
"Huh? What do you think? Tell me about it! Partridge Whistle asked,
"If Kunlun Mountain is the birthplace of the Ghost Cave Clan, later due to various reasons, their people couldn't survive here...... For example, the weather was too cold, or for some reason, most of them left here and went to the Western Regions to establish the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom. Later, when the Kingdom of Excellence fell, some people returned here and took the remnants of them to Tibet again......" Hua Ling said.
"This may not be nothing, but there is no nine-story demon building on the side of the Essence Kingdom, although the totem is the same, the ghost cave text also confirms that they are indeed in the same vein, but the nine-story demon building ......" Partridge Whistle has always been unable to understand this.
"Could it be that there is actually a nine-story demon building on the side of the Elite Country, but it is not known to outsiders. Let's just say that here, if it weren't for the earthquake that year, it would not be possible to show it here, Hu Bayi's kid saw it by chance. Hua Ling said.
"Senior brother, Hua Ling, is it interesting to still worry about these? There are so many mysteries in history, and we can't solve them all clearly. When the professors and students finish taking pictures, let's go out. The old foreigner said with some idleness.
He took the fire ladybug and had nothing to do. Listening to Partridge Whistle and Hua Ling's analysis, he was a little impatient to listen, this kind of thing analysis can be done once or twice, what's the point of always talking about it? What is there to say about the ghost cave clan, the people are all extinct, even if they are not extinct, it is estimated that there is not much left.
"Hmph, you talk a lot, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Hua Ling rolled her eyes, pouted and walked away.
"Old foreigner, it really doesn't mean anything to say this. But our Zagrama have endured thousands of years of curse, and it would be a good thing if we could find out why. Partridge Whistle said.
The old foreigner smiled bitterly: "Senior brother, I naturally know this, but this is not the Absolute Country, and the relationship between the Absolute Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom is studied here...... What can it be used for? My heart is itching when you say it, and now I want to go to the ruins of the Exquisite Kingdom to see what is in that ghost cave. ”
"Why shouldn't I? But Honggu ......, "Partridge Whistle glanced in the direction of the nine-story demon tower.
"Come on, but I didn't say it." The old foreigner suddenly understood what he meant, the big guy didn't speak, and his senior brother couldn't say that he wanted to leave.
"Ouch, there is still a notebook left by a foreigner here, how can there be a photo? Let's see what the hell this is. The fat man's voice sounded at the right time and attracted everyone's attention.
"Comrade Triumph, what have you discovered?"
Professor Chan asked.
"A bag with a pistol in it, and a notebook with a photograph in it. In my opinion, it's probably the same kind of foreign adventurer you are talking about. Do you think there is any record of the Exquisite Ancient City? The fat man said loudly.
At first, he didn't understand why Honggu wanted him to give this bag to Yang Xue, but after taking out the notebook and looking at it a few times, he immediately understood. This is what the great adventurer left behind, maybe it is something that goes to the ruins of the ancient city, so he shouted a few times to attract everyone's attention.
"This kid is a bit clever!"
Honggu heard the voice, and a little smile appeared on her face.
She had already found the bag, not only him, but Partridge Whistle and they had found it too. But this trip was to accompany Yang Xue and them on an adventure, so Honggu ordered a few people not to do anything and let them have fun with the juniors. It's a pity that these people passed by the corpse, and they didn't see who these dried corpses were, and they didn't notice that there was something on him, probably as a slave to accompany the funeral, after all, he had already dried out for decades and was not in human shape, and the clothes on his body were covered with dust, and he couldn't see anything if he didn't look carefully.
Just as everyone gathered around to look at the notebook carefully, Ye Yixin, who was staying at the edge of the canyon, and a technical soldier rushed in in a panic, panting and shouting: "Professor Chen, teacher, everyone, there is news from the camp, there will be a snowstorm here soon, we have to evacuate quickly." ”
This time, because they all came down and camped under the canyon, Ye Yixin had a chance to come in.
"Blizzard? Then it seems that there is no way to stay here. Teacher, we already know the place, apply next time, organize more manpower, and be more prepared to come in and dig again. Professor Hao said.
Professor Chen hesitated for a moment and sighed, "That's the only way!" Chu Jian, while there is still some time, take more photos and take them back for analysis. The next time we apply, those photos and materials are also the basis for the application. ”
"Okay, Professor!"
Chu Jian responded and hurriedly took more photos.
After packing up their things and taking pictures, everyone left in a hurry.
