Chapter 033: Enter the Relic City

Just as Han Wei and Li Hua were looking at the sky in a daze, Tu Xingsun and Wu Yunke had already come to the two of them, looking at the two of them in surprise, and also followed Han Wei's gaze to the sky, except for the scorching sun and the light smoke rising, there was nothing else.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Tu Xingsun said and gently pushed Han Wei, his expression full of doubts.

"The city in the sky is gone." Han Wei also came back to his senses at this time, and felt very sorry in his heart.

"What castle in the sky?" Tuxingsun was even more puzzled, paused for a moment, and said, "Did you see a mirage?" ”

Han Wei now also wondered if it was a mirage, but this was completely unreasonable, he had never heard of a mirage that could still be approached, and it was so real when it was so close. Suddenly, Han Wei thought of something, looked at Tu Xingsun suspiciously, and listened to Tu Xingsun's tone, he didn't see the Sky City, but when Han Wei heard his shout, it was clear that the Sky City was still there, and it was impossible not to see it from a distance of dozens of meters. Puzzled in his heart, he hurriedly asked, "Didn't you see the Sky City just now?" Is it a huge city? ”

Tuxingsun looked at Han Wei in surprise, his expression was as if Han Wei's nerves were wrong, and said: "What sky city, I saw you and Li Hua standing here in a daze, calling you over and ignoring it, I really don't know what you are doing." ”

How can you not see it? Han Wei looked at Wu Yunke again, only to see that his expression was also full of doubts, and he didn't see it. Now Han Wei was puzzled, could it be that only he and Li Hua could see it?

"You really didn't see the city in the sky?" It was Li Hua who spoke, and he, like Han Wei, was full of doubts in his heart, even if it was a mirage, it was impossible for only him and Han Wei to see it.

Tuxingsun was a little annoyed by the question, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he turned around and left. Han Wei could only bury his doubts in the bottom of his heart and follow closely, but his mind kept thinking about whether the Sky City was really illusory.

At this time, Han Wei and Li Hua learned from Wu Yunke that after the storm dispersed, he and Tuxingsun fell very close, and quickly found Lao Zheng and Liu Shi, but Lao Zheng was injured, and now Liu Shi is taking care of them, and the four of them only have two backpacks left, and most of the water and food are lost. It was also lucky, everyone quickly found the water source, and even more coincidentally, it was the destination this time, the oasis where the relict city was located.

When Tuxingsun came out to look for Han Wei and Li Hua, he brought a kettle with a little salt added to it. After Han Wei drank it, his physical strength recovered a lot, that is, more than twenty minutes away, he had already arrived at the oasis, and Lao Zheng and Liu Shi had already set up tents at a position of dozens of meters in the oasis. Han Wei didn't bother to wash his face, and went straight to the tent, Lao Zheng's state was a little poor, and his left hand could barely move, which cast a shadow on this operation.

"A little injury, no big problem, this time the destination remains the same." Lao Zheng didn't wait for Han Wei to speak, he had already taken the lead. Lao Zheng was obviously relieved to see Han Wei and Li Hua return safely, he didn't want to see anyone die anymore.

Han Wei knew Lao Zheng's determination this time, and knew that if he continued like this, he would probably not be able to get out, but thinking of the curse of life and death, if Lao Zheng really only had a few months to live, he would die if he gave up this opportunity. In the end, Han Wei didn't say anything to dissuade him, but just accompanied Lao Zheng to talk. Tuxing Sun Zheng took Wu Yunke and Liu Shi to clean up the entrance, Qiu Lao and others followed Lao Zheng and entered the labyrinth, this entrance is just a void, a lot of yellow sand flows into the passage, and the yellow sand needs to be cleared out to enter the passage. This workload is not small, and it will be difficult to complete for a while and a half, so Han Wei, Lao Zheng, and Li Hua stayed in the tent.

Staying in the tent, it was not that he did nothing, Han Wei was observing the mysterious compass. Han Wei heard Lao Zheng mention it many times, but it was the first time he saw it, and thanks to Lao Zheng holding on to his backpack in the storm, the compass was saved, and it was precisely because of the compass that it smashed on Lao Zheng's left hand when it fell, I don't know if it was reincarnation.

The compass is made of granite, and the pattern on it is as described by Lao Zheng, which is divided into two circles, the outer part, which really looks like a street looking down. There is a groove on the north side of the compass that directly connects the inner and outer parts. The middle part of the compass, which is also the central part, has no patterns or other descriptions. Han Wei looked back and forth countless times, but he didn't find anything special about the compass, if he didn't know Lao Zheng's story, he would only think that this compass was an ordinary thing.

……

After an afternoon of hard work, the passage was finally opened, and there was still a thick layer of yellow sand, which could be bent over and already able to walk. Lao Zheng couldn't wait, and everyone entered the passage without resting. Tuxingsun is at the forefront, and his experience in robbing tombs is better than that of Lao Zhenglai.

Soon everyone had come to the stone gate of the relict city, and it was really not high, so they directly pushed open the stone gate and saw a street. Lao Zheng also has a certain understanding of this place, and everyone did not stop, and continued to walk forward, but when they were far away from the stone gate, they used steel rods to push the stone gate up. These steel rods were specially prepared by Lao Zheng, and it is difficult to bend it with the strength of thousands of catties, even if it is ten thousand catties of strength, it can support it for a while. Lao Zheng didn't have high requirements for the copper stick, and only hoped that when entering the deep passage, Han Wei and the others would have enough time to retreat.

Han Wei looked around curiously, this is really a stone city, everything is made of stone, it stands to reason that large stones in the desert are rare, and to build this relic city, a lot of stones are needed, and I don't know where to transport it, if it is operated from afar, it requires great manpower and material resources, once this is the case, there will inevitably be records handed down. Lao Zheng and Qiu Lao have looked through many materials and documents, but they have not found a word about the relict city, which shows that it is impossible to operate from afar.

Just when Han Wei was thinking, he had already come to the street north of the labyrinth, and under the guidance of Lao Zheng, he came to the house in the center, where the stone table had not been removed as Lao Zheng had said, but was still in place, and the stone slab in the passage under the stone table was still there. Lao Zheng injured his hand, not his head, and would never make the low-level mistake of going to the wrong room. Tuxingsun stepped forward and knocked on the ground under the stone table, and there was a thumping sound, and the bottom was absolutely empty.

Has anyone ever come in? If it is a tomb robber, he will definitely enter the passage, and he will not put the stone slab back in its place, and the stone table will also be put in its place. Could it be that there is someone in the relict city? When Lao Zheng and the others left, they appeared and put everything back in place. It's just that in this way, why is the outermost passage entrance not cleaned up, it will be discovered at any time. Or is the Lost City a supernatural place? Everything has life and can move on its own, but are there really ghosts?

"Lao Zheng, are you sure it's here?" Tuxingsun looked at Lao Zheng with a shocked expression, he also thought of this, and couldn't help but want to go to a strange place.

Lao Zheng nodded affirmatively, the original mark on the passage outside is still there, and it is the second passage. Lao Zheng was also puzzled as to why this was the case, but he was more inclined to have someone come later, and as for how to get out of the maze, there must be other passages.

Seeing that Lao Zheng was so sure, Tuxing Sun didn't ask any more, and moved the stone table with Wu Yunke, Liu Shi, and Li Hua, and used the rope that had been prepared to pass through the small hole of the stone slab, and with the joint efforts of several people, the stone slab was turned over. The passage below was revealed, and a cold air hit him, and everyone couldn't help but shiver. This chill is not like the wind, it is a feeling that comes from the depths of the soul, and in that moment, the mind is blank. This state only lasted for a short time, everyone has recovered, this time Lao Zheng strongly asked to go to the front, there are too many dangers ahead, Lao Zheng is worried about other people's carelessness. Han Wei was a little worried about Lao Zheng's state and wanted to explore the way for him, but he was rejected and did not allow any opposition.

Entering the passage, the cold was even worse, as if the military coat on his body was a fake and shoddy product, he couldn't resist the invasion of the cold at all, and his body couldn't stop shivering. The sharp sound came, very harsh, but everyone had already prepared, Liu Shi was responsible for knocking on the stone wall, and the sound of hitting made the unknown sharp scream useless. Han Wei was a little curious about this voice, if he could master it, but it was the best weapon, he knew that it was unrealistic in his heart.

After walking smoothly for a while, I finally saw the mysterious cyan substance that Lao Zheng said, the cyan was like a spilled paint, very gorgeous. It's just that I was a little surprised by what Lao Zheng described, the cyan substance at this time covered the entire passage in front of me, not only the ground, but also the stone wall and the top of the stone wall. Originally, everyone was wearing high leather boots, and steel rings were also put on the ankles of the leather boots, just to prevent the mysterious cyan substance. And now it's a matter of precaution, and the cyan substance can drip from the top at any time.

Thirty-one years have passed since Lao Zheng last came, and it is not impossible that the cyan substance has undergone a great change, but I just hope that there will be no abnormal changes. Lao Zheng immediately rushed to the short sword to test, this short sword was obtained in the ancient tomb of Qinling, and later found out that it was a treasure that sharpened iron like clay, and Lao Zheng naturally carried it with him this time. When the dagger touched the cyan substance, it didn't change at first, and after a few seconds, the color of the cyan substance near the dagger disappeared, and it looked like ordinary water. The cyan substance is still very repulsive to metal, Lao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took off a shoe to test it, but did not see any reaction to the cyan substance.

"You can send it here, and I'll do the rest myself." Lao Zheng said, and asked Wu Yunke to give him the compass he was carrying.

Han Wei didn't worry about Lao Zheng, and he wanted him to go back alive, and just as he was about to say that he would go with him, Tuxingsun's eyes lit up, and he had already preemptively said: "Since I have arrived here, I naturally want to go and have a look, I don't care about the others, anyway, I must go in and take a look." ”

This mysterious relic city is very attractive to Tuxing Sun, which is one of the reasons why he agreed to Lao Zheng's coming, he is not a person who can be invited by giving money.

"Lao Zheng, I'll still go with you, and I'll have a good time to take care of it then." Han Wei was finally able to speak, in fact, the mystery here was also very attractive to him, until now Han Wei still didn't believe in the existence of a curse, and wanted to take a look in person, as for the danger, Han Wei had experienced a lot these days, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

With Han Wei and Tuxingsun deciding to stay, Li Hua and the three of them also decided to be together, everyone has curiosity, and the most important thing is that now along the way, except for the storm, they have not encountered any strange situations, and the fear in their hearts is not very great. Lao Zheng saw everyone's determined expressions, and wanted to speak several times, but he didn't speak, which can be regarded as acquiescing to acting together.
