There was a sloping sand slope that buried half of the main hall, and there was no window on the wall, and when I looked up, I saw that there was also a row of windows on the dome of the palace, which showed a faint light, and the arrangement of the windows was regular, one at regular intervals, from the roof on the other side to the wall on this side.

I've never seen a window open on the roof, and if it rains, it will get the temple wet, and we all craned our necks to look in, and the roof only had this round of windows, which looked very strange.

"I see," Professor Zhang suddenly spoke, looking excited, "I see, you see, this row of windows is facing the statue in the middle, and the distance between the windows is also mysterious, this is probably a kind of timing device, as the sun rises and falls, there will be a beam of light on the statue every fixed time, and I'm afraid it's not just timekeeping." ”

I looked carefully at those windows, and Professor Zhang made sense, Ah Chuan let out an "oh" and said with a smile: "Is this really their queen?" Or a goddess? The sun shines on your face, and it looks divine. ”

"It's all speculation, let's go in and see." Professor Zhang was noncommittal, looking impatient.

The sun had set in the west, and it should have been about seventeen o'clock now, and the bloody sun shone on the tall and silent ruins, which looked very mysterious, and no one objected, so we left the window and walked along the slope buried in the yellow sand to the roof on the other side, and soon saw the string of windows open on the roof, and found the one closest to the sand that was not blocked.

The sand below was a slope of about forty-five degrees, smooth, without any signs of creature approaching, the sun was shining hot, and when you approached the window, you could feel the coolness of the temple.

The window was more than a meter away from the sand, and Professor Zhang jumped into it first, sliding into the darkness below in a half-sitting and half-lying position, and the students couldn't wait to jump off, and the sand flowed like a slide, leaving smooth traces.

I pulled Ah Chuan and said in a low voice: "It doesn't look like there are people who have gone in here, Uncle Yuan, didn't they go in?" There are no footprints outside either. ”

Ah Chuan smiled and didn't answer, the doubts in my heart were even worse, I already felt that something was wrong, there was no wind here at all, even if there might be traces blown away by the wind before we arrived, it was impossible in the hall, it could only mean that Uncle Yuan and they had never been here at all.

I know that it is futile to ask Ah Chuan, but he must know something else, the Mo family will not let the archaeological team find their traces, thinking about what Uncle Yuan and Nineteen said at the beginning, I can't help but have a terrible conjecture, is this relic not the one the Mo family is looking for at all.

It is really possible to do it with the skills of the Mo family, in order to avoid that thing being discovered by the archaeological team, it is not difficult to steal the beams and change the pillars, the road is brought by Achuan, and the magnetic field is disordered and quicksand is everywhere in the middle, the archaeological team has never questioned the position, they can't tell where the real ruins are, and what they see at this moment is likely to be just a disguise.

The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was, they had used a similar trick on Nameless Island to change the appearance of the Chamber of Secrets, and it was probably the same here, and I still don't know what method they used.

Ah Chuan and Xiao Qi both jumped out of the window, Lao Huang pushed me, jumped after me, the air and sand in the hall were full of shade, and at this moment slid down the sand slope, and from a distance, I saw the flashlight of the archaeological team swaying in the darkness below.

"Damn, what is this?" Lao Huang shouted behind him, and a string of echoes immediately sounded in the hall.

We were almost at the bottom of the main hall, I was the first to stand up and turn my head to look, only to see that there was a bulge where Lao Huang had slipped over, round like a stone, and the position where he had slipped was a little off, where it was originally covered by sand, and when he slipped the sand flowed down, it was exposed.

A bunch of flashlights shone in unison, and the group walked up the sand slope, and several students used brushes to sweep away the sand around the stone, revealing a half-round head, and if you look closely, you can find that there are still hair lines on it, but unfortunately it has been weathered, and it is not very clear.

This head is very large, at least half a meter wide, we helped them shovel off the surrounding sand, and there is sand flowing down on it, and it took a lot of effort to expose its whole head, this is a humanoid carving, at first glance it is a man, the facial features are deep and detailed, lifelike, and the tall female statue in the distance, must be the same craftsmen to build.

I held up my flashlight and looked around, and the main entrance of the palace had already been filled with sand, and the lowest place I could see was also covered with sand, and if I took the lowest place as the bottom, the statue was at least six or seven meters high.

The sun is still shining on the face of the statue of the woman in the distance, it feels huge outside the hall, and the size is amazing up close, according to the normal proportion of the human body, it should be twenty meters, but we don't know whether her lower body is standing or sitting, this statue is the main body of the hall at a glance, there are probably steps and pedestals below, and the lowest place we can stand may be more than ten meters high from the real ground.

It's amazing, especially the demeanor of the statue, *solemn, no different from a real person, the craftsman who can have such an outstanding carving process is by no means an ordinary ancient city, the scale of the carving and the building are far beyond my imagination.

This must be a strong civilization, how can it be easily buried by a sandstorm? The more I looked, the harder it became to believe Professor Zhang's inference.

There is a stone pillar not far from this male statue, and we can see two rows of stone pillars extending from the main entrance to the female statue at the moment, and we can see two rows of stone pillars extending from the main entrance all the way to the female statue, these two rows of stone pillars are about twenty meters apart, and the same row of stone pillars is about five meters apart, and the diameter of the column is about one and a half meters, and it is carved with twisted and strange human figures, which are very messy and incompatible with the seriousness and meticulousness of these two statues.

The stone pillars have been weathered for a long time, and the uneven surface is even more difficult to see, but the archaeological team has taken a lot of photos from front to back, left and right, and I have looked back and forth a few, and the patterns on these stone pillars are the same, without exception.

"Look, there's a statue here, too!"

Lao Huang suddenly screamed, he was walking towards the female statue, four or five meters away from us at the moment, there was sand flowing under his feet, revealing a half-round stone head, exactly the same as the head of the male statue we had just excavated, and the height was also level.

There is also a stone pillar on the right side of Lao Huang, more than a meter away from him, at this moment, it is clear that these two male statues are just level with the stone pillar, the statue is on the left, the stone pillar is on the right, I am sure that there will be the same statue on the left side of the stone pillar in front of me.

Since the stone pillar is symmetrical, the statue should also be, but unfortunately the sand on the left side is too thick, and we will not be able to prove it for a while, I guess there must be the same statue on the side of the stone pillar on the left, and the two rows of statues stand like door gods, guarding the woman at the end.

The whole hall is symmetrical, and it seems to be grandiose in scale*, and the archaeological team did not rush to see the female statue, but retreated to the main entrance, and I saw that from the main entrance, the walls on the left and right sides were densely covered with frescoes.

Not only the walls, but even the dome, but unfortunately one side is buried by sand, only a little bit is exposed, we can only go to the other side, these frescoes are not narrative, more like religious drawings, the age is too old to peel away, there is hardly a complete figure to be seen, leaving only some bright color blocks such as red indigo, the closer to the bottom of the main hall, the more serious the peeling.

As we walked along the wall, the frescoes in the middle were better preserved than the doorway, and I could faintly see the movements of the characters, and I was more and more shocked when I looked at the unique figures, the figures presented in these murals were obviously the same system as the photograph!

The photos are real, maybe they were taken here!

I couldn't help but look at Ah Chuan several times, I thought it was a fake Ah Chuan used to deceive the archaeological team, but I didn't expect him to really come here, really revealed the coordinates, this is not a trick of the Mo family, but a real ruin.

It really didn't look like there was any danger here, it wasn't at all comparable to the tombs I'd been to before, and if he was here, why didn't he take that thing with him? And Uncle Yuan, this is a real ruin, why didn't they come in? Could it be that in order to avoid the archaeological team, they swept away the traces along the way?

The three bloody corpses are still in front of me, I can't figure it out more and more, since they are here, even if they can't take it, it's okay to wait here for the Mo family to take the bait, why go out again, even if it has to be reported to the archaeological department, there is no need for the three of them to be together, and the Mo family, obviously paying attention to their movements, how could they not know that they are in front, how strange is this matter.

My heart was full of questions, I went to see Lao Huang frequently, he was so smart, he could always see through it at a glance, but at the moment his face was expressionless, he hardly looked at the mural, Ah Chuan walked in the front, but now he stopped, and suddenly turned back to me and showed a meaningful smile.

His face was half hidden and half visible under the dim flashlight, gloomy and compassionate, my heart tightened, and I walked forward quickly, and the moment I saw the wall, I only felt that the blood was cold, and the image of the person on the wall has been imprinted in my mind, which is exactly the scene in that photo!

It's exactly the same, it was taken here, but it's dusk, the sun can't shine here, it's dark, and the time when that photo was taken should be morning or noon, the sun is on the other side, and the sunlight is cast from the skylight at the top of the temple, so clear.

I was still thinking about the strange black shadow in the photo, but now I was stunned when I saw it, the black shadow with long legs was under the figure, yes, but now there was only a peeling wall there, and even the slightest black was visible.

I cursed in my heart that that strange thing had always been a shadow in my psyche, but when I saw the mural with my own eyes, it disappeared, and the peeling wall looked no different from other peeling places.
