Chapter 16: The City
He shook his head, ignored me, and walked inside on his own.
It didn't take long for us to see that this stone road was actually elevated, and below it was a reservoir that had long since dried up, quite deep, and the watermark on the side of the pool was stepped type, indicating that the water here was lost in stages, and the rate of natural evaporation here was quite slow, and it must be drainage that could cause this situation, and it seemed that the water here was originally full.
This kind of water storage function is the same as the lamp slave, it is functional, it is impossible to build a big water tank here when you are full, so what is the original appearance of this place?
Following the fat uncle, I heard him say: "This place is very similar to Changbai Mountain, but the scale is much smaller, and there are no figurines, is this the tomb of the nephew of the King of Wannu?" ”
When you heard him talk about the King of Ten Thousand Slaves, I suddenly remembered a story that my father told me before, and at that time I thought he was scaring me, saying that the King of Ten Thousand Slaves had twelve hands and feet, is the original bedtime story true?
"Fat uncle, does this King of Ten Thousand Slaves really have twelve siblings?" I asked.
He snorted: "The third master told you, how could it be fake when we saw it with our own eyes, but we didn't prepare a camera at that time, otherwise we would have taken a photo album as a souvenir." ”
The fat uncle pointed to the front of the stone road and asked me to look at the darkness, I couldn't find anything at first glance, when the searchlight gradually moved, I could find in the afterglow, the huge shadow in the darkness in front of me had become slightly clearer, it was obvious, it was a huge building.
As I got closer, the huge silhouette became more and more obvious, and I suddenly felt a sense of insignificance, only to feel that it was getting bigger and bigger, and I was getting smaller and smaller, and the depression broke through the black and rushed to the top of my head.
Sure enough, we saw it, it was a row of black thick city walls, connected like ancient defensive passes, and it was difficult to conquer such a fortified city in the Cold Weapon Age as long as there was enough food and grass.
Seeing such a magnificent underground building, the shock defeats all other emotions, in front of these ancient objects, as a modern person will definitely feel humble, just like when you walk in front of a Buddha statue, you will naturally worship, and even unconsciously bow and pray, this is the power of civilization.
The inside of the walls is densely packed with castle buildings, and it is certain that they should be a row of houses, most likely of stone construction, because the timber is easily damaged by moisture near the cistern.
In addition to this, the tops of these buildings seem to have been carved with strange things, much like the beasts on the tiled beams of ancient buildings, but they seem to be of a strange size and shape.
I was dumbfounded, I thought that tomb robbery was to dig a hole into someone's tomb and pry the coffin, obviously the situation here is beyond my imagination, if this is an ancient tomb, then such a huge tomb system must be buried with very important people.
The fat uncle looked at me in a daze, and said with a little mockery: "What, stupid? I'll tell you about this pediatrics, you fat man, I ...... back then."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of something collapsing from inside the city wall, and we looked around, but we couldn't see the movement inside at all, and we heard the sound very neatly and began to think regularly, a bit like the pace of a military parade.
"What's the situation?"
The fat uncle squinted at it, directly threw the flying tiger claw and hooked it on the city wall, and climbed up without hesitation.
I was about to say that he was looking at the situation, but suddenly a lamp lit up on the wall, and a pale blue flame rose slowly, like the fire of hell; At the same time, I saw a guy with sunglasses standing next to the lamp slave, smiling at me.
Black bear!
I immediately rejoiced and shouted, "Hey......"
I don't know why I feel happy to see him intact, I suddenly found that I seemed to have integrated into the team, and suddenly I felt that I had accepted all the things that happened suddenly, am I such a person?
The black blind man waved his hand at me, and I immediately climbed up with the fat uncle, and stood on the city wall to watch us finally meet, and I couldn't help laughing out loud and expressing our worries.
The black blind man grinned: "You also underestimate the black master, but you have to pay more attention to yourself, and you must not be left behind here." ”
I nodded and asked, "What about that guy?" ”
His face changed suddenly, looking at the fat uncle, the fat uncle also turned his head to look at him, shook his head and said, "Yes, the old problem can't be changed, it's the same as my migraine, let's do ours." ”
I looked at the two of them blankly, and the fat uncle immediately shone the searchlight into the city wall, and began to look around, and the black blind man said softly: "Professional missing person, it's not strange." ”
The black blind man also went to see the surrounding situation, and at the same time told me that it was not the first time that the surname Zhang had disappeared in the ancient tomb, this situation was already commonplace for the fat uncle and him, and he dared to leave the team suddenly, and he must have the ability to survive.
I sighed to myself, and my heart said just blow it, if there is a person here, if you don't die, you will go crazy.
The two of them walked through the entire circular city wall, which was at least nearly a kilometer long, at least more than twice the size of the 400-meter playground where I had my physical education class, and the buildings inside were indeed all black stone buildings, and this black was deeper than the black of the city wall, almost completely black, and the searchlights did not work at all.
As soon as we met with the fat uncle, we could see that his face was not good, so we only heard him say slowly: "The stone inside is completely different from the outside, I estimate that this is a whole, an ancient city carved from the outside to the inside." ”
The black blind man nodded, and I frowned when I listened: "Overall carving?" Impossible, right? ”
"I've seen this kind of stone in Xinjiang before, but I don't know if it's the material over there, usually this kind of stone is very large, not easy to break, and the hardness and toughness are very high, I think this thing was put here before this mountain was formed." Uncle Fat said seriously.
I couldn't help but look at those buildings, and the black blind man said: "It is very likely that the structure of this mountain is also extraordinary, and the outer layer of the outer layer is full of holes by the passage and does not collapse, it should have been reinforced, which means that this place was not a big mountain at the beginning, but someone built a mountain after this building." ”
"How much manpower and time does it take to build a mountain?" I couldn't help but say.
The black blind man handed me a cigarette: "Building a mountain is actually much easier than digging a mountain, but the outer layer of rock and the inner layer should not be the same substance, and it is difficult to guarantee the firmness and disaster resistance, but the fact that this place has not collapsed for many years shows that the person who built this place has great ability." ”
I understood what he meant, which meant that it was originally a flat land or a canyon, and someone had brought this stone over to carve it, and then built a mountain to cover it to prevent anyone from discovering it.
Suddenly, I had an urge to go in and find out, but the fat uncle was always faster than me, and he was already preparing to go down, and the black blind man immediately stopped and said, "Look at the ground." ”
I looked along the fiber of the searchlight, and I saw that the ground was full of strange footprints, and these footprints must not be human, the footprints were as large as a basin, they must be the footprints of some kind of animal, if there were creatures here, then it would be wrong for us to go down hastily.
However, we all underestimated the courage of the fat uncle, he pulled his belt and said: "Don't worry, I found out earlier, I just went down to see the situation, such a big guy has to put some explosives around first, if he runs out to hunt us, he will be considered to have a hand at that time." ”
As soon as the fat uncle landed, there was a roar in the city, and I only heard the fat uncle shouting: "It's not good, it's a balance device." ”
The black blind man immediately pulled me and prepared to jump out, but it was too late, and my feet had already begun to tilt, and I only felt that the whole person was falling to one side, and I lost my balance in an instant; I immediately hugged a lamp slave and listened to the fat uncle shouting desperately inside.
In less than half a minute, the whole city turned upside down one hundred and eighty degrees, and all of us were hung upside down, while below was an endless black abyss, and searchlights rolled over my head, and soon they were engulfed in darkness without a single movement.
I was so frightened that I hugged the lamp slave, and I saw the fat uncle hugging a stone beast on the building, which was also hanging on the side, and the black blind man was gone.
"Black master ......, black master ......"
The fat uncle yelled a few times, but there was no response, and after my heart was finished, he must have rolled down, and there was no chance of survival at all at such a high level.
I yelled, "What to do? ”
The fat uncle's eyes widened angrily: "Find the central axis, find the central axis." ”
Although I'm a scumbag, I can still understand the central axis, as long as the city doesn't lose its balance, it shouldn't be reversed, but how to get to the center point so upside down? Do you want me to fly?
The huge city was still tilting and shaking, and the fat uncle grabbed the stone beast with one hand, and after looking at the entire city, he threw out the flying tiger claw with the other hand and shouted, "Don't move, you must hold on." ”
