However, these remaining utensils are also a surprise for Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo.

After all, this is a tool from the ancient Western Regions, even if it was the most ordinary tool at that time, it is still an antique now, which has a certain help for their research.

After about an hour of turning, the buildings on the high ground were finally finished.

However, nothing else has been found, except for some everyday utensils, weathered furniture, dried carcasses of small animals, or some weathered or dry and hard food.

"Teacher, this is a little strange......"

Hao Aiguo frowned, puzzled.

"According to the murals we interpreted in the tomb of Prince Gumo, the Elite Kingdom was destroyed by war.

Then, these nobles may have taken advantage of the chaos to flee.

But it doesn't mean taking everything with you, right? We had to leave some, but we searched for it and found that there was hardly anything of value, or anything that was valuable at the time.

Moreover, there is not a single corpse missing, which is really incomprehensible. ”

The fat man immediately said, "Maybe, that Prince Gumo has paranoia?" Maybe when he died, the Absolute Realm was not extinct at all, it was just his fantasy, or even a curse.

If that's the case, it's easy to explain.

Why?

We can understand that the Elite Kingdom was not destroyed by war.

Instead, there was a drought, there was no water, and people could no longer live, so they had to abandon the city.

Abandoning the city, it is natural that they will slowly pack up and take away the valuable things at home, and I can't think of any other reason than this. ”

"Yo, fatty, yours? Not to mention, there is some truth to it! ”

This time, Hu Bayi did not hit the fat man, and seemed to agree with his idea.

"Hmmm......"

Even Professor Chen nodded thoughtfully.

Wang Kaixuan's analysis does make sense...... Let's assume that the first half of the tomb of Prince Gumo is real. He did want to assassinate the Absolute Queen, but was unsuccessful.

Later, maybe it was fear, or maybe it was melancholy.

But before he died, perhaps as Comrade Wang Kaixuan said, he hoped for the destruction of the Exquisite Kingdom, or a kind of conjecture, or perhaps out of a cursed psychology, he ordered someone to paint a mural of the destruction of the Exquisite Kingdom.

Everyone also knows that no matter how many mysterious legends there are in the ancient Western Regions, at least one thing is beyond doubt.

That is this large area, as the Lop Nur and Peacock rivers dry up, desertification is becoming more and more serious, and it is no longer suitable for human existence.

Therefore, the countries of the Western Regions have migrated.

Some to the west, some to the east...... In short, the desert eventually became a no-man's land.

Because it was an active migration, I had time to take valuable things with me......"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing that Hu Bayi and Professor Chen recognized the reason for his casual remarks, the fat man immediately burst out laughing.

"How? You always say that I am uneducated...... Although I don't read much of Wang Kaixuan's books, my brain is smart......"

"Your uncle, you're the smartest here, right?"

Hu Bayi couldn't help laughing and scolding.

"Lao Hu, don't be unconvinced, if I didn't say so, you would have to guess for a long time."

"Okay, maybe we're preconceived, but if that's the case, could the Exquisite Ancient City become an empty city? Wouldn't we have made a trip for nothing? ”

Hao Aiguo frowned.

"How can you run for nothing?" Professor Chen shook his head: "Your temper has to be changed, we have just uncovered the tip of the iceberg, and there are still many places to explore."

Even though this is an empty city, some things can be taken away, and some things cannot be taken away. For example, murals, or something bulky.

On top of that, we haven't found the royal palace yet, we haven't found the legendary ghost cave. ”

Shirley Yang immediately said: "That's right, since the Exquisite Nation is known as the Ghost Cave Clan, I think that most of the Ghost Caves exist, and there must be amazing secrets hidden." ”

"Otherwise, let's go to the palace first, I suspect that clues to the ghost cave can be found in the palace.

Normally, most of the palaces were built in the middle of the city, but now the city is mostly buried, and it is difficult to determine where the center of the city is.

Therefore, I have to trouble Gao Xing and Comrade Hu Bayi to work hard and help measure the feng shui position. ”

"Okay, that shouldn't be a big deal." Hu Bayi nodded.

Gao Xing also responded.

After all, he traveled through this world this time, and the most important task was not yet completed: exploring the ghost cave.

If you don't find the ghost cave, how can you explore the secret?

Therefore, he came outside with Hu Bayi, took out the compass separately and began to locate it.

After a few minutes, the two men agreed on the same page, pointed to the west side of the high ground and said, "About a kilometer from where we are standing, it should be the center of the city. ”

Professor Chen was pleased: "That's not too far, let's go over and have a look first." ”

The group walked down the high ground, walked for a while, and arrived at the location set by Gao Xing and Hu Bayi.

"Let's split up and look for it, maybe the palace is nearby, but it's just buried in the sand."

As a result, within two minutes, the palace was found by Gao Xing.

Because he cheated and used the eye of the sky, he sensed an unusual aura.

I followed my feelings and looked for it, and finally dug out the yellow sand and found a few stone steps.

"Everyone, come here, there are stone steps ......"

As soon as they heard Gao Xing's shouts, a group of people rushed over and helped dig a pit, but the sand collapsed, and all the people in the group were spared, and they all fell into the hole.

Fortunately, there was also a lot of yellow sand down there, but no one was hurt.

"The palace, what a palace!"

The fat man was the first to wake up, pointing to a huge palace not far away and yelling.

It is only now that a group of people have discovered that the palace was not made of piles, but hollowed out of rocks.

But the terrain here is not very high, could it be that this is an underground mountain range?

With such a question, the group cautiously walked to the door of the main hall by the light through the hole.

There was light at the door, but it was pitch black inside.

"Why don't I throw a light stick in there?"

Shirley Yang asked in a whisper.

"Okay, throw it!"

So, Shirley Young lit a light stick and threw it far in.

Through the light of the lighting stick, I finally saw the situation inside faintly...... It is very large, there are many stone pillars standing in it, and some statues can be faintly seen.

Gao Xing opened the Sky Eye again and observed, but he didn't seem to find any danger.

There was no fluctuation of the living creatures, so he took the initiative and said, "I will go ahead and explore the way, and you will follow." ”

After speaking, he turned on the flashlight and walked towards the main hall.

Hu Bayi and the fat man followed.

Others followed.

The inside of the main hall was very dry, and although it was in the dark for a long time, it did not give people a sense of coldness.

After walking a short distance, I found that the main hall was not flat, but in the shape of a staircase.

At this moment, the group walked the lowest one.
