As the distance approached, the murals seen in the ancient tomb of the Marquis of Hailun finally showed in front of our eyes.

Walk through the criss-crossing war canals. At the end of the trench was the bronze gate, on which was a bronze-faced man with a thick swollen cheek, flanked by a huge statue of the gourd.

I stood in front of the ancient city walls, a little excited, and a little worried, but anyway, we got here. Tracing the footprints of history step by step, we came to this mythical place.

Taking a deep breath and adjusting my mindset, I asked, "Where do we get in from?" ”

"I don't know." Adu shook his head and said, "We didn't follow too closely at the beginning, and in the end, Wu Ming chased after him alone, so simply speaking, it was my first time here." ”

I walked to the door, and I pushed hard and found that it couldn't be opened at all, and said, "This is a dead city!" "When I looked up by the light of the roots, I saw that the cracks in the gate had been sealed with molten iron and human skins, and the white human skins were opened in our eyes after we had wiped off the dust and sand, and the empty eyes were looking at us.

"I'll look somewhere else." Adu took a step and walked to the side, "They should have gone in, otherwise Wu Ming will come back to me." ”

Hu Yinman said: "The city is closed, and we can't enter, using living people as sacrifices and human blood as seals, this is the rhythm of surrounding the entire city." ”

"The October Siege?" I complained.

"It's not just ten months, such a closure is equivalent to burying the city, you look at those blood stains and human skins, they are all nobles and royal family members in the city, in order to guard the exit here."

"The whole city is buried with you, it's crazy." I say.

"That's how the ancients practiced burial, there's no way." Hu Yinman shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the side of the gate of the city wall.

Standing under the city wall, you can clearly see that there are city towers, arrow towers, and gate towers built on the city gate. They are well preserved and magnificent. And between the city tower and the arrow tower, there is an urn city, there is a heavy eaves rest on the top of the city tower in the urn city, protruding from the look, towering in the sky. As for the two corners, there is a turret in each. The corner tower is an attic building built on the city wall, which belongs to the city wall defense project, and basically serves as a lookout and defense. Finally, the bottom of the whole ancient city wall is made of large stones, glutinous rice lime mortar filling joints, the city wall, the city gate, the battlements, etc., are well preserved now, the antique color is ancient, and the left and right extend to show the trend of the dragon in the past.

Recall the murals in the ancient tomb of the Marquis of Haiding, this ancient city is built under the roots of trees, and the trees are on top, which means that there should be a passage to the ground in this ancient city.

"Hey." After a while, Adu noticed something, poked his head out of the trench and hooked his hand at us.

I called Hu Yinman, and jumped with him into the trench not far away, the depth of this trench is very deep, and there is almost some sand underneath, but the sand has been hard as flat after years of accumulation, we walked in this trench, little by little along the direction of the ditch, and soon I saw a trace of being dug by man on the edge of the soil.

"They've been to this place."

"It's a trace of man-made excavation, and it's already obvious." Adu said.

"Well, it's ·······." Hu Yinman nodded, and then touched the soil on the right side of the trench with his hand: "You see, this soil has two different colors, and a dividing line is formed in the middle of the color, which should be a deep water line, this is not a trench, it is a river channel." ”

"The river?" Adu's eyes rolled, and he thought of something and said, "This is the river that leads out of the city, and that's where they got in." ”

"Then let's go." I took the lead and walked along the river, and sure enough, after walking a short distance, all I saw were traces of artificially turned soil, which had been abandoned for hundreds of years, not to mention sand, and there were more than enough emissions in the ancient city.

"Watch your step." Hu Yinman, who was behind him, said suddenly.

I looked down and saw that there were still many sharp copper nails and porcelain fragments left in the river after the excavation had been excavated.

"I'm Cao, are the ancients so unqualified?"

"But come on, if you leave it now, it is estimated that your head will be piled up with plastic bags a long time ago, and you won't be able to walk."

I thought about it right, I lowered my head and looked at the river, and after more than ten minutes we walked a detour, and finally saw a concave water gate blocked by an iron fence. At this time, the water gate had been blown open, and the flowering iron railings were scattered on both sides. Adu was the first to probe in, said it was okay, and walked in first.

The space of this place is not very large, but it is enough to accommodate three or four people walking side by side, but compared to the sewers in the city now, this is small, I walked to the side of a wall and reached out and touched the thin layer of colored glass on the wall, and found that this is actually glaze, the ancient glaze should be made of mineral raw materials and chemical raw materials in a certain proportion after grinding to make glaze slurry, applied to the surface of the body, calcined at a certain temperature.

"Is this a clay pipe?" I asked.

"That's right! An impermeable ceramic tube made of glazed inner and outer surfaces made of clay. "Because the glaze layer is smooth in this way, there will be no epiphytic algae that will obstruct the flow of liquid." It's just that such a large sewer is something that has never been heard of in ancient times. It's like ······. ”

"Like what?" Adu asked her.

"It's like an aisle." Hu Yinman turned around with a flashlight: "You think, such a big sewer can't be completely used for water, so you'd better be careful." ”

"Whatever! Anyway, there are already people walking through here, and most of the time there will be no danger, we just need to don't make too much noise and find traces of those people. ”

Adu shook his head uneasily: "It's better to be careful!" ”

This guy is very cautious now, and according to him, his shotgun was knocked down the mountain by a bear during a hunt a few days ago, so he is very insecure now.

I said in my heart how many years have passed since this place of yours, and besides, someone has just dug it up, and there will be no problems! Take 10,000 steps back, this place is a sewer, and even if there is something, it can't be in this place, right?

But at this time, Adu in front of him suddenly stopped, "Wait." ”

I shuddered, and a tremor at my feet said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Notice what it smells like." Adu's nose was pointed, and he seemed to smell something.

I shrunk my nose, and sure enough, a faint smell wafted over, very familiar, but for a moment I couldn't tell what it was.

"The smell of dead pork?" Hu Yinman asked.

Adu shook his head, stopped and thought for a long time, and finally let us continue to move on, just be careful. He said that we have also seen this place, and there are all kinds of strange things in the forest underground, and it is inevitable that some creatures will run here, so we should not be careless.

His words reminded us twice in succession, I looked at his tense face, and my originally lazy and lazy heart suddenly pinched, frowned, and nodded and could only move forward little by little. It's just that the high nerves made me take extra care with every step behind, and after a while, the pungent smell in the sewers became stronger and stronger.

"It's the smell of rotting corpses!" Adu finally sniffed out where the smell was coming from.

The time for the corpse to decompose is 72~120 hours, and such a strong smell is estimated to have been left by the Germans who came in at the beginning.

"Hey!" Suddenly, Hu Yinman pushed me. I glanced at her, and she immediately put her finger to her lips and made a boo gesture telling me not to speak loudly.

I looked around and understood that there was a situation.

Hu Yinman took out the machine gun from his backpack and walked forward softly and slowly. There is a fork in the road ahead, which is connected by many sewers.

As the footsteps slowed down, there was silence in the sewers, and the slightest sound could be heard.

Hu Yinman pointed to a sewer outlet not far away, and then pointed to his ear, so that we could listen carefully to the sound coming from there.

"Anyone?" I shuddered, and immediately listened to it, although the sound was not loud, but at this time there was silence in the sewers, and the surrounding pipes naturally formed a natural echo wall, so the sound gradually reached my ears.

"Hmm, help····· Help······ I.! "The voice is choppy, but it's probably this tone, and I vaguely summarized it with my ability to listen to English with a score of 0.

It was not a loud voice, but it seemed very strange in this place, completely out of rhythm, and it was obviously not something that a living person could make.

I can't help but feel a little nervous when I think about this, after all, this place is no longer the worldview we are in, it is a separate space. Thinking back to everything I saw in Heizhugou, I couldn't tell if it was something evil.

The three of them, you look at me, I look at you, they didn't dare to make a sound, Hu Yinman gently pulled the bolt of the machine gun back, and moved towards that place little by little.

At this time, the deep human voice sounded again.

The voice was staggered, and when I listened carefully again, it was not a human voice at all.

"It's like the sound of animals eating." Adu said in a low voice.

"No, no. It should be a human voice, but it doesn't seem to be speaking Chinese. Hu Yinman said.

I was confused, the light in the sewers swayed back and forth, ghostly, and I couldn't breathe at the sound of the sound.

But at this moment, the smell of corpses suddenly drifted over with a little air current.

I sniffed it and immediately struck a thrill, it seemed to be on our left hand, and the three of us didn't think much about it, so we followed the smell, turned a corner, and sure enough, we didn't take a few steps, and soon saw two highly decomposed corpses lying in the sewer.

At the same time, the strange sound came from the mouths of the corpses.
