I immediately took off the ring around my neck and compared it with the pattern on the cellar lid in front of me, and found that the flying fish pattern was indeed identical.

"Consultant Dian, did your ancestors tell you the meaning of this flying fish pattern?" Professor Wu looked at the moment order in my hand and asked.

Although the order was left by my grandfather, eighty percent of it was also sent to the tomb when he went to the tomb to "investigate" before, so even he probably didn't know the meaning of this flying fish pattern, let alone me.

But I couldn't tell the truth directly, so I made it up: "This flying fish is a divine beast of the Mo Sect, you know that the ancients were very superstitious, they believed that these divine beasts could bring good luck to themselves. Now there is a mythical beast related to the Mo Sect on the lid of this cellar, which proves that this cellar was dug by the people of the Mo Sect, and maybe there are clues related to the ancient city we are looking for. ”

Professor Wu nodded thoughtfully after listening, and I thought to myself that he should be covered. Then I said to the bald man Mowson, who was standing stupidly next to me, "Brother, you have more strength, see if you can open the lid of this cellar?" ”

Moson glanced at me haughtily, not answering my words at all.

I immediately felt extremely embarrassed, so I had to look at Professor Wu next to me. Professor Wu said to Mo Sen: "Mo Sen, you can carry it. ”

Seeing that Professor Wu had spoken, this bastard made an OK gesture at the moment, then squatted down and grabbed the handle with both hands, and lifted it up vigorously with a loud shout. After a few seconds, the veins on Mowson's arm burst out, and the heavy cellar lid gradually moved away, revealing a dark hole in front of us.

"Black Axe, Mitaka, you go and explore the way." Seeing that the cellar lid was opened, Professor Wu immediately turned to the two mercenaries standing behind him.

The two men took the order, each took out a rope from their backpacks and tied it around their waists, and then quickly went down to the cellar, where a minute later came a "safe!".

Then the rest of us went down to the cellar except for the fat bear, who actually wanted to go down too, but he probably compared the hole and his waistline, and found that there was a 90 percent chance of getting stuck.

The cellar was so dark that the daylight from the overhead entrance was not enough, so we turned on our flashlights and began to take a closer look at the place.

The cellar is not large, at most thirty square meters square, and it is completely enclosed, with no other exit, and it is littered with ceramic vessels, and in the center are several coffins that have been opened.

"Advisor Dian, could it be that this is a tomb built by the Mo Sect back then?" Professor Wu asked.

Under normal circumstances, if there is a coffin, it should be a tomb, but you must know that the people of Mozong act very rigorously, and they are strict with their works to the point of extremely perverted artistry, and the cellar in front of me is extremely shabby, not to mention that there is no mechanism, and even the entrance to the cellar is just a lid to cover, so I am still more skeptical that this is a tomb built by Mozong.

So I went to the coffins and threw my flashlight inside, and found them empty, and if they had been visited by tomb robbers, it would have been impossible to steal the bodies unless they were fed up.

"Counselor?" Seeing that I didn't reply, Professor Wu asked again.

I turned to him and said, "This place is not so much like a tomb, but more like a makeshift shelter against wind and sand, and you can see the wine glasses and porcelain bowls scattered on the ground, which are basically the living objects used by the ancients, and these coffins are probably the beds they slept in." ”

"Aren't the vampires sleeping in the coffin?" John, who was standing behind Professor Wu, muttered quietly.

"The people of the Mo Sect seem to have this habit." This is actually my subjective speculation, but I still acted calmly.

"Then do you, a descendant of the Mo Sect, also sleep in a coffin at night?" Bald Mawson sneered maliciously.

"yes, do you want to be together?" I replied angrily.

"If this is a shelter, it proves that the people of the Mo Sect wanted to stay here for a long time, why did they stay in such a place for a long time?" Professor Wu then asked.

I scratched my head and thought for a moment and said, "I speculate that the mission of these Mo Sect ancestors may be to build the ancient city we are looking for, so they have stayed here for a long time. ”

"So the ancient city we're looking for is nearby?" Ai Lan Lin said with a little excitement.

I shook my head: "No, if you look at the items scattered here and the coffin lid that hasn't had time to close, it means that they were very urgent when they evacuated, and they may have encountered some emergency, so the possibility of building a city here is relatively low." The people of the Mozong are very careful about the selection of sites, and they are probably stationed here only to investigate the feasibility of building a city here, if my guess is correct, there should be many cellars like this in this vast Gobi. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the fat bear outside the cellar began to cry, asking if we had found anything of value in it, and if so, we had taken a copy for him.

Zheng Tian shouted impatiently: "Don't howl, there's nothing in it, I didn't even take a photo." ”

"What a wasted effort." Mo Sen was a little unhappy and prepared to go out, and the rest of the people also tied the rope around their waists one after another, at this time, I found that only Professor Wu's assistant John didn't seem to have the intention of going out, looking east and west in this small place, full of curiosity, I think this can also be understood, John is a student of archaeology, and he is full of curiosity about the mysterious oriental culture, and now he is here in person, he must be more excited, so he doesn't want to let go of this small cellar that is not famous.

So I shouted, "That American guy, it's time to go up for afternoon tea." ”

John: "OK, OK, yes, but he didn't move, and I saw him crouching on the edge of a coffin, as if he was throwing something.

I shook my head and walked over, smiled and said to him, "This is the coffin of China, in fact, it is similar to your Western coffin." There's really nothing to see here, so when you find the lost ancient city, you can take a closer look. ”

John suddenly turned his head and asked, "Was there a big white paper in ancient China?" ”

I was blindsided by John's abrupt question: "Ancient? Of course, there was no big white paper in ancient China, and the ancients used bamboo slips or rice paper. ”

"And where did this come from?" John suddenly handed me a blank piece of paper with a sketch on it.

"This ...... Where did you get it from? I asked, surprised.

"It's under this coffin, and I just took it out." John said triumphantly.

I took the blank paper and looked at it, it was a sketch of a route in the desert, the sketch marked many places, and there were some broken words on the top, vaguely discerning, it was written about "fifty miles northeast of Biye Pass".

"It's like someone left a road map." I pinched my chin and frowned.

At this time, Ailanlin also came over, she looked at the sketch and almost exclaimed: "It's Ganfeng's handwriting!" ”
