Chapter 382: Mysterious Ancient City
Yu Sufu looked at the dense forest sea around him, "Right now, find Han Hao first, let's go out from here together, it's the most important." It doesn't matter what is suitable for him or not. ”
Xie Wanqing felt that what he said was very reasonable, at the moment, it was the most important thing to find Han Hao first and then save his life, there were only three of them here, and they could temporarily put aside their identities.
Thinking of this, she finally hesitated and said, "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”
Yu Sufu squatted down in front of her, "Stop talking nonsense, come up." ”
Xie Wanqing lay on Yu Sufu's back, only to find that although this man looked thin, he was very powerful, and he didn't feel unstable at all when he was lying on his back, but felt full of security.
Yu Sufu gasped, "I obviously look at you quite thin on weekdays, why are you so heavy?" ”
Xie Wanqing raised her hand and patted him on the head, "Who do you say is heavy?" ”
In this way, only Tie Feng and Yu Sufu were left walking in the forest, and their speed suddenly increased a lot, and Xie Wanqing had to admit that she seemed to be really a drag oil bottle.
In order to preserve their physical strength, the three of them rarely spoke, Tie Feng and Yu Sufu took turns carrying Xie Wanqing on their backs, and they had already gone far in just half a day.
It's just that Xie Wanqing has always been careful, and she suddenly found a very serious problem.
They had been walking for such a long time, and the valley was so narrow, that they should have passed by the place where they had camped last night. But they didn't see the slightest trace of a campfire.
Then there is only one explanation, and the path they are taking now should not be the same as when they came.
"Wait, you guys stop for a moment." Xie Wanqing said: "We should have gone a fork in the road. ”
And Yu Sufu had already reacted at this time, and he immediately understood what Xie Wanqing meant, "It seems that something has gone wrong." ”
"Let's go like this first, anyway, every road is unknown, you can just mark it, it seems that the road in this canyon is not as simple as we imagined." Xie Wanqing sighed and said.
The three of them walked for a while, but suddenly their eyes suddenly brightened, the trees suddenly became very sparse, and a large area of very open grass appeared in front of them, and at the end of the meadow, there was a magnificent ancient city.
"This ...... This is ......" Xie Wanqing was taken aback, shocked by the scene in front of her, and was speechless for a while, "What is this place?" ”
"I don't know." Yu Sufu also showed a very surprised look, but then he was quietly suppressed by him.
"Let's go check it out first." Xie Wanqing said, at this time, he suddenly noticed that on the side of the grass leading to the ancient city, there were some crooked footprints, and she screamed.
In this kind of place, no one will come at all, and since these footprints on the ground are not the three of them, they must be ...... Han Hao's!
She jumped off Yu Sufu's back and walked towards the row of footprints. It was supposed to be a footprint left by an adult man, and there were some not-so-fresh blood stains near the footprints, probably not from the last few days.
She was thrilled for a moment, and she quickened her pace towards the ancient city, ignoring nothing else.
Yu Sufu and Tie Feng glanced at each other and hurriedly followed.
Han Hao, he should be in this city.
"You go slower." Yu Sufu shouted at her: "Maybe there is some danger in this city, you come and walk behind me, don't go on a rampage in front alone." ”
Xie Wanqing turned to look at him, let out an unwilling "oh", and walked towards him.
The three of them followed the man's footprints all the way to the depths of the ancient city, Xie Wanqing was very worried in her heart, she was both looking forward to and fearing this ancient city, expecting that she should be able to find Han Hao from here, and the fear was that the atmosphere of this ancient city was really terrifying.
The whole city was empty, and there was not a single person.
It's a dead city.
The man's footprints were no longer visible after stepping on the bluestone path, and the clue was broken again, it seemed that if you wanted to find Han Hao, you had to go around the four places first.
"Remember not to shout." Yu Sufu told Xie Wanqing. He was worried that Xie Wanqing would open his mouth to call his name because he was anxious to find Han Hao, which was taboo in an unfamiliar place.
In case there was something unclean in this ancient city, and she was awakened by her shouting, Han Hao couldn't find it, and the lives of the three of them would be ruined here.
"I know." Xie Wanqing glared at him, when she was a fool? This place was unusual at first glance, how could she be stupid enough to yell here.
"Go ahead." Yu Sufu also stopped talking, but took out a signal flare from his arms and handed it to her: "In order to save time, we will act separately, if there is any danger, you will release this signal flare, and I will rush to find you." ”
"Okay."
The three of them then walked away in three directions, Xie Wanqing took the leftmost road, along the way there were some very old stone houses, those houses looked very sturdy, but they had obviously been abandoned for many years, and at this moment they stood there quietly, as if they had something to say to Xie Wanqing.
This city inexplicably gives people the same feeling, Xie Wanqing looked at those buildings from many years ago, and there was a sense of piety in her heart.
What exactly is this place? The doubts in her mind grew thicker and thicker.
The place where this path leads is not the center of this city, Xie Wanqing walked down the way, and after about a stick of incense, she came to an open place, which looked like it should be an altar in this city.
The altar had three steps, with a large tripod in the center of the upper floor, and four pillars around it. There are iron chains from the top of the pillar to the perimeter of the big ding, as if the ding is imprisoned here.
Xie Wanqing was curious and wanted to go forward to find out. She slowly walked up the three steps and paced to the side of the tripod.
It was a bronze tripod, with words vaguely engraved on it, and Xie Wanqing bent down to examine it carefully.
In the past, when she was in the Hou Mansion, she also learned some ancient characters, so now she has a rough understanding of the words on the tripod after half reading and guessing.
The above probably says that the altar here is extremely important, and the worship is the guardian deity of this ancient city called "Cangjing", the patron deity is called "Dan", and the temperament is very strange, and it needs to be sacrificed every three years with boys and girls.
There are also some patterns around the text, and Xie Wanqing can vaguely recognize that there are some naked men with upper bodies, who are lifting two children to throw into this ding, and in the ding, there is a raging fire.
This is actually a scene of a sacrifice.
Xie Wanqing gasped, such a sacrifice was too cruel. It's no wonder that since he approached this altar, he always felt a kind of discomfort of being watched in the dark, thinking that it was not the innocent souls who had been buried here.
She stepped back from the altar and walked down another path. Her task now is to find Han Hao, and she shouldn't waste time in this kind of place. Whether it's cruel or terrible, it's all been something that has been sealed for many years.
The trail was a little narrower than the previous one, and there were no dwellings on the side of the road, but thick walls covered with moss that were extremely shady to the touch.
Xie Wanqing carefully wrote down the way she came, afraid that she had found the wrong direction in this intricate ancient city.
At this moment, suddenly a sharp scream pierced the sky, like a long roar of a beast, Xie Wanqing raised her head, and saw a very dazzling firework blooming in the air.
It's flares.
Who sent the flare? Did you find Han Hao and let them all pass? Or did something unexpected?
Xie Wanqing's heart tightened, and she hurriedly pulled her legs and ran towards the place where the signal flare was lit, she was very afraid of the latter situation.
They fell off the cliff with no weapons, they were all bare-handed, and if they encountered any danger, if they could not cope with it, it would be a big trouble.
