As soon as I said I wanted to eat, the old woman turned around and walked slowly into the small kitchen next to her, as if she was cutting meat in it, and after a while, there was a clanging sound.

I stood in the living room and whispered to Zuo Tianmei, "Senior Sister Zuo Tianmei! It's weird! I always felt that something was wrong here, something evil. ”

Zuo Tianmei nodded and said, "I have similar feelings, in short, there is no doubt about one thing, that is, we have not left the scope of the Crystal Cave of Time. ”

"You mean, we're still trapped in the Crystal Cavern of Time......"

Just when Zuo Tianmei and I were talking in a whisper, the old woman walked in with a large copper basin, which contained cooked meat pieces, smelled fragrant, and said, "The hospitality is not good, please forgive me!" There are only some cooked beef, so let's try it! ”

I don't know how long I hadn't eaten, but I couldn't stand the hunger, so I grabbed a large piece of meat and devoured it.

Zuo Tianmei was still cautious, lest there was something strange in this piece of meat, so she excused herself from being hungry, and sat straight to the side, observing the expression on the old woman's face.

However, the old woman's face was unwavering, and for a while, she couldn't see any flaws.

"Where are the two guests going? Why is it in such a hurry? Still on the road at night? The old woman brought the pot of cooked beef to the table, and as she walked back to her bedroom, she asked us suspiciously.

I munched on the piece of meat, hesitated, and replied vaguely, "We...... To leave...... Crystal Cavern of Time...... Rush back ......."

The old woman sighed and said, "Oh! Our place is called the Emperor's Capital, and it is far from the Crystal Cave of Time, so you are now very safe and can take a good rest......"

I said a couple of words to the old woman, ate and drank enough, and then lay down together to rest.

At this time, I was lying on my side on the bed, my head resting on my arms, I don't know if this place was already cold, or if I was wearing too few clothes, anyway, I was trembling all over my body, my hair was trembling, and I just couldn't sleep.

My eyes turned to Zuo Tianmei.

Zuo Tianmei, who was next to her, blinked her watery eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said to me with some doubts: "The capital of the emperor!" I think I've heard of this place. ”

”

I nodded and asked Zuo Tianmei: "Senior sister, I see that you look worried, is there any danger in this imperial capital?" ”

Zuo Tianmei sighed softly and said, "I once heard my master talk about the capital of the emperor!" The capital of the emperor is rumored to be the city built by the Queen Mother of the West, and in ancient times, this ancient city was the political and economic center of the entire Queen Mother of the West. Unexpectedly, the legendary capital of the emperor did not disappear into history with the passage of time, and the capital of the emperor we are in is likely to be the city that once existed in history. ”

I said, "It's too early to tell if this city is the capital of the emperor during the period of the Western Queen Mother's family!" I'm not sure if we've ever left the Crystal Cavern of Time, so why don't we go out and have a look tomorrow! It's getting late, so let's go to bed first! Rest well, and you will have strength tomorrow......"

Zuo Tianmei was silent, I also knew that she was still preoccupied, but my mind was thinking about other things in a mess, a moment was Ah Zi, a moment was Xi Chen's face, and finally the picture in my mind stayed on the old woman I had just met, going around, I opened my eyes slightly, I finally understood, why I always felt that something was wrong with this old woman.

You know, since I came to Tibet, all the locals I've met, including Han Chinese, have some Tibetan accent.

Most people living in Tibetan areas generally only speak Tibetan or the local dialect, but the old woman in front of her, who is a lot old and lives in this deserted imperial capital, can communicate in such fluent Mandarin, and even has some Beijing accent, and there is no fluency at all.

At the age of seventy or eighty, she can still speak Mandarin, so this person is either a foreigner, or she has been well-educated since she was a child!

But how can you have the opportunity to get a good education in this deserted cave?

Who is this old woman?

I suddenly secretly clenched the corpse bell in my arms, always on guard, in case the old woman rarely moved, I immediately took action.

I don't know how long it took, but I crept to my feet, and through the crack in my old wooden door, I saw that the old woman's room was still brightly lit, and the old woman seemed to be busy sewing and mending clothes.

In fact, after running for days, this time we came to the capital of the emperor, I was already physically and mentally exhausted, and now I saw that there was nothing strange in the old woman's room outside the door, my eyelids couldn't help but start fighting, I lay on the bed, slowly lost consciousness, and turned into a dark world in front of my eyes......

I don't know how long it was, but I opened my eyes in a daze, and it was still pitch black outside, as if there was only darkness forever in this place.

However, I stretched out my hand and subconsciously pushed left and right, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and I suddenly shook my whole body, and I couldn't help but shout: "Ah......hh

At this time, I found that there was a stone wall on the left and right sides, and I was trapped in a narrow space that was only half a meter wide and only two meters long.

Such a spatial change makes me think of coffins.

In fact, there's a good chance I'm trapped in a coffin.

With almost all my strength, I pounded on the closed stone wall above my head, and at last the stone wall was shaken by me, or the lid of the sarcophagus was pushed open.

I sat up from the sarcophagus and fumbled around for a while before finally finding the flashlight I had with me.

I turned on my flashlight and looked around.

I found myself in a dark, empty space.

In addition to the coffin I was in, there was another coffin lying quietly beside me.

I thought of something, immediately jumped out of the sarcophagus, walked to the nearest sarcophagus, held a dagger, and with crazy exertion, finally pried open a gap in this sarcophagus, and then I put my hands on the sarcophagus lid, gritted my teeth, and pushed hard, and this sarcophagus was finally pushed open by me.
