271 The Spirit on the Tower of Babel
I saw a trace of worry flashing in Tang Maiqiu's eyes. Although he was not the only one who understood that the Burning Spirit Palace was dangerous and abnormal, what Tang Maiqiu was most worried about was not the Burning Spirit Palace itself. It's the gap between Chen Si and the Black Panther. Tang Maiqiu understood very well that the contradiction between the two was basically irreconcilable, the black panther was working for Qin Chuan, and Qin Chuan's order was not to let Chen Si leave this Burning Spirit Palace alive, and Chen Si was not a good type, his thoughts would not be much kinder than Qin Chuan. Outside of the Burning Spirit Palace, everyone's position will become very firm, but he Tang Maiqiu, mixed in the middle, is very difficult to become. He knew that he was bound to become the target of the two factions of people. Neither Black Panther nor Chen Si would allow him to stay out of the matter, they all knew that once Tang Maiqiu joined either side, it would increase the strength of the side a lot.
It's impossible to get caught in the middle, but which side do you side? Tang Maiqiu weighed it carefully in his heart. Undoubtedly, Qin Chuan has an inextricable relationship with the bureau, and it is even an exaggeration to say that Qin Chuan is half the master of Gu. It is very reasonable to go to Qin Chuan's side by himself. But on Chen Si's side, there is a Gu Fengchun and Luo Xiaodan. Thinking of this, Tang Maiqiu couldn't help but glance at Shan Zifeng, Luo Xiaodan was still invited by him, but he kept letting Luo Xiaodan fall to the side of Gu Fengchun and Chen Si along the way. But he also knew that Shan Zifeng had no choice, who made Luo Xiaodan and Gu Fengchun old acquaintances, the journey was long, and the relationship between the two kept soaring all the way due to this adventure. According to Tang Maiqiu's opinion, the two have already been lovers, of course, according to Gu Fengchun, it should not be so fast.
Tang Maiqiu despised Shan Zifeng very much, if it was himself, he would definitely warn Luo Xiaodan in private not to have too close relationships with Chen Si and others, but Tang Maiqiu didn't know that although Shan Zifeng "invited" Luo Xiaodan, the great god, but he also got Qin Chuan's instructions: Luo Xiaodan's freedom must not be restricted, as long as Luo Xiaodan can cooperate to go to the forbidden land, other things are up to her! can't help Shan Zifeng, and the black panther also got this order, so which side Luo Xiaodan leans towards, it is up to the black panther to decide.
Tang Maiqiu was depressed and depressed, but he couldn't come up with any way to do it after all. However, it is quite optimistic that these two groups of people should not tear their faces so quickly before they get what they want.
After galloping for nearly two hours, a mist-shrouded pagoda appeared in front of everyone, making everyone stunned for a moment. How could there be a stupa in this place? This one is harder to convince than encountering dinosaurs in the Misty Forest. The pagoda towered into the sky, and the first impression given by Gu Fengchun when he saw it was: "The Tower of Babel!" It was as if this was not a stupa in front of us, but the Tower of Babel that man had built in the Bible to reach heaven. It's just that in that biblical story, the Tower of Babel was finally sent by God to disrupt the human language, and finally the human race fell into chaos, and the Tower of Babel was destroyed in this chaos; Comparatively speaking, this pagoda is still towering as a cloud, and it has to be amazed.
As the distance got closer, the closer the people got to the pagoda, the more incredible they became. This stupa is simply too big and too tall. Moreover, it does not seem quite correct to say that it is a stupa. Because, it doesn't have much of a Buddhist imprint on it. According to the opinion of Gu Fengchun, a cultural relics expert, each pagoda will have many Buddhist patterns, such as lotus flowers, Buddha statue carvings, and the meaning of Buddhist culture in the details. And on this tower, you have to find something related to Buddhism, which is really far-fetched. So when Da Yumu excitedly shouted the word "pagoda", Gu Fengchun was silent.
With Gu Fengchun's experience, he knew that what he was in front of him was unlikely to be a pagoda. The reason is simple. Buddhism appeared much later than the time when the Burning Spirit Palace should have appeared. Even if Genghis Khan later set this place as the resting place of his soul, but with the manpower and material resources at that time, if he wanted to transport materials from the outside world to build such a magnificent project here, the time and manpower and material resources consumed were also extremely huge, not to mention that Genghis Khan couldn't wait, even if there was plenty of time, with Genghis Khan's mind, he might not do such a stupid thing, because everyone knows that such a tree to build a mausoleum is useless except for the intention of recruiting tomb robbers, and there is no impermeable wall in the world. Although this place is rarely visited, who can guarantee that it will never be discovered? In addition, there is another point, which is not in line with the funeral traditions of the Mongols.
Gu Fengchun didn't decide what this tower was, for the sake of today, only when he went to the inside of this tower, could he know what the purpose of this tower was.
On horseback, Chen Si, who is proficient in architecture, made a rough calculation, and then told everyone: "This tower is more than 300 meters high, and the bottom is about 600 meters in circumference. This way of building is somewhat similar to the custom of the Qiang people to build houses with stones. He pointed to the part of the top of the stone tower that was piled up with white stones, and said: "When the Qiang people build houses, they like to use white stone vaults, and they usually have the habit of sacrificing white stones. Hearing the Qiang people, Gu Fengchun felt a pang in his heart, in order to study the Qiang people, he also studied a lot of Qiang people's knowledge, and always felt that there was a connection between the Qiang people and the Qiang people. Although he hadn't found the specific connection yet, when he heard Chen Si mention the Qiang people, he couldn't help but keep an eye on it.
When the horses had reached a distance of about a kilometer from the tower, the wild horses stopped at once, refusing to take any further step, and no matter how much they whipped, the horses' hooves seemed to be nailed, and they could not lift a single point. And the horse king, who was tamed very obediently, also became anxious, and he was unprepared, and almost overturned Da Yumu.
"What's wrong?" Tang Maiqiu asked puzzled.
"These horses are afraid of this place," Da Yumu said, looking around. Looking at the weeds around here almost taller than people, endlessly, Da Yumu had a bad premonition in his heart, he said: "It's not just horses, you see that the weeds nearby grow taller than people, which can show one point, that is, the animals on this grassland dare not set foot in this place easily." ”
Da Yumu's words immediately reminded everyone.
At this moment, Gu Fengchun seemed to be hit by the acupuncture point, and sat motionless on horseback. At this moment, there was another sound in his ears: "You, finally here......" The voice seemed to come from the direction of the stone tower, like a wandering spirit, calling to him.
