Chapter 90: Southwest to Northwest
At Zhang Yan's feet, some dilapidated city walls gradually appeared, and the city walls were covered with yellow sand. Zhang Yan opened his mouth and said: "Third brother, the ancient city of Loulan is under your feet, right?" ”
Zhang Jue didn't stop moving forward, turned back to Zhang Yan and said: "The city wall under your feet is the city wall in the north of the ancient city of Loulan, which has been slightly restored in this game, and it is much more complete than in reality." ”
They continued onward, and soon after, they came to the southwest corner of the ancient city. Zhang Yan in front of him began to fall, and when Zhang Yan saw this, he also began to slowly fall down. After a while, the four of them fell to the ground. Behind them was a wall several feet high, dark yellow. Directly in front of them was an aisle, and the ground was covered with yellow sand. The aisle continues to the north until the northwest corner.
In front of them is a dilapidated ancient building. The style of the building is very similar to that of the building in the Longmen Desert, and it is three stories high. However, the top layer had already collapsed, and the wall in front of them had several cracks. Zhang Yan opened his mouth and said: "I didn't expect this Tang Dynasty to be very attentive!" ”
Su Xiao looked at him and said, "Because of this, no one thinks about leaving." ”
Zhang Jue stretched out his right hand, pointed to the northwest corner of the ancient city and said, "That exit is in the northwest corner!" ”
Zhang Yan looked up and saw that there was a faint city wall on the opposite side of the aisle. I saw that he was eager, and he wished that he would be able to go out immediately, and said in his heart: "It seems to be only one or two kilometers, and the road under his feet is also smooth, so it won't take long to walk over!" ”
Then he spoke: "Then let's hurry over, we know the result sooner!" ”
After speaking, he walked forward with his legs, and before his right foot touched the ground, Zhang Jue pulled him back. opened his mouth and said: "Second brother! Hold your horses! There seem to be no obstacles here, but there are many obstacles on the road. ”
The one on his left was full of surprise, and asked, "Jue! What's wrong with the trap? Everything looks normal here! ”
Zhang Jue looked at the aisle in front of him, stretched out his right hand and grabbed it, with his palm down. A transparent energy spread from his palm to the ground, and he saw that the yellow sand on the ground rotated counterclockwise with the transparent energy under the urging of the energy. In a second or two, the yellow sand gradually formed a ball, and he raised his right hand upward, and the dark yellow sand ball flew into his hand.
He took the sand ball in his hand and threw it down the aisle. The sand ball flew less than a meter before it was shattered by seven or eight sharp arrows flying on the ground and the walls on both sides, and scattered on the ground. Su Xiao and Ying Wuwu looked surprised and couldn't speak at all, Zhang Yan saw this, looked surprised, and said: "This mechanism is really intelligent, and it can also sense the invasion of foreign objects." ”
Zhang Jue clapped his palms together, slapped off the remaining yellow sand in his right hand, and said, "Yes! After all, this is a virtual world constructed by us modern people, and the devil knows what perverted mechanism they have designed here. If you can't even get past this mechanism, going out is a dream. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Yan said: "How do I think that exit is not a bug, it seems that they did it on purpose, anyway, there are many mechanisms here, and ordinary people will not go to that corner when they see it." Maybe it's planning to leave a back door for yourself, and you can go out at any time. ”
Su Xiao nodded, very much agreed with Zhang Yan's thoughts, and said: "It is very likely that in this world, it is not excluded that there are staff members of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Zhang Yan looked around and looked up at the blue sky above his head, and there was not a single white cloud. Suddenly, an idea moved in his mind, and he said: "You can fly directly from above and land in the northwest corner, wouldn't it be good?" ”
Zhang Jue shook his head, opened his mouth and said, "If it is feasible, there is no need for me to bring you to this southwest corner." I have tried all the skies above the ancient city of Loulan, and only this southwest corner can fall. Everywhere else, there's a wall of transparent air, and you can only land on that wall of air. ”
Zhang Yan said with a strange expression: "This must be intentional, so why don't you go through the gate?" ”
Zhang Jue sighed and said: "In this ancient city, there are many organs everywhere, if you enter through the gate, I don't know how many times you will die." Moreover, all the mechanisms here use artificial intelligence, and they can all perform deep learning, so that every time someone breaks in, the direction they walk, posture, etc. will be recorded, which will become the material for their further learning, and enhance the difficulty of the mechanism. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Yan was dumbfounded, and after a while, he came back to his senses and said: "They actually use artificial intelligence in the game field, it seems that their game planning is very far-sighted!" In this way, the bosses in the game are no longer the same, but can learn by themselves and have more vitality. No wonder no one has cleared the Zhangjia Building until now! ”
Zhang Jue said: "Yes! That's the charm of this game, PVE can play with the feeling of PVP. ”
Zhang Yan turned his head to look at Zhang Jue, and said a little impatiently: "Third brother! So how do you get by? ”
Zhang Jue said: "Just follow me, I've been here many times, there are some strange places on this road, as long as you step on it, it won't trigger the mechanism." ”
Zhang Yan was puzzled: "Didn't you say that the organs here all use artificial intelligence?" ”
Zhang Jue replied to him: "Yes, the reason why I chose this place is because the mechanism here is the lowest level of intelligence in the entire ancient city, and it is estimated that it is the primary version developed by them." I used to come here a lot before I had no worries, and I died countless times, and finally I found this place. When you go to other places for the second time, it's completely different, every time the mechanism is triggered in a different way, every time you walk in, it's like you just came in, there is no pattern at all, only here, there is a pattern. ”
Win Wuwu snorted and laughed: "It turns out that you were so boring before, no wonder you didn't study the martial arts of the sect well." ”
Zhang Jue turned his head to look at her and said, "This place is too charming, and it is much more interesting than learning martial arts." In addition to being called the ancient city of Loulan, it is also called the City of Death. No one has ever walked through an ancient city without triggering a trap. I heard that if you finish here without injury, there will be an achievement, and the reward will be very expensive. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Yan said: "There are still a lot of hidden achievements in this world! If you still have the chance, you will definitely come here for some time. Third brother, let's go, we can't delay! ”
Zhang Jue nodded and walked forward. Zhang Yan turned his head to win worry-free and said, "Worry-free, you follow behind the third brother!" ”
Then he turned his head to Su Xiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, you don't have to worry about it, I'll be behind." ”
Win Wuwu and Su Xiao both nodded and walked forward following Zhang Jue's footsteps. And Zhang Yan walked at the back, stepping on the footprints they left in front of him, and walked forward step by step. About halfway through them, Zhang Yan suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and the foot that had been stretched out was immediately retracted, and then said, "Have you found it?" There are more footprints, and I don't know which one to step on? ”
Su Xiao looked back at Zhang Yan and said, "Everything is normal!" Are you dazzled? ”
Zhang Yan shook his head and continued: "Xiaoxiao, you look carefully behind you, every time you put your feet, two identical footprints appear, and they are very close. ”
After hearing this, Su Xiao looked down at the ground, raised his left foot, landed on his right foot, and after turning in place for half a circle, he looked down at the footprints in front of him. There was a three-step distance between her and Zhang Yan. There were just two footprints in the middle, but what caught her eye were four footprints. She looked surprised and blurted out: "Looking at it this way, I don't even know which one I'm stepping on, what should I do now?" ”
Zhang Yan opened his mouth and shouted: "Third brother, you stop first, there is something strange behind, I don't know which one to step on!" ”
Zhang Jue heard his shout and immediately stopped. Seeing this, the winner behind him also stopped. Zhang Jue turned his head to Zhang Yan and said, "You stand there and don't move, wait for the three of us to go over first, and then I'll come and pick you up." ”
After Zhang Yan heard this, he nodded and told Su Xiao: "Xiaoxiao, you follow them first!" ”
Su Xiao nodded, then turned around and followed the two of them. Time passed quickly, and in Zhang Yan's eyes, their figures were getting smaller and smaller, faintly visible, and they had reached the northwest corner at this time. After Zhang Jue told the two of them, he slowly walked over to Zhang Yan's side. After a while, Zhang Jue came to the opposite side of Zhang Yan, and there were three steps between the two.
Zhang Jue raised his right foot and stepped forward. Before his toes touched the ground, he heard a swishing sound, and Zhang Yan immediately spoke: "Third brother! Be careful! ”
Before the words fell, I saw more than a dozen sharp arrows rushing towards the two of them on the walls on the left and right sides and on the ground, completely blocking their way and retreat.
At Daofu Dawa's home, Zhang Ju and his party had dinner and then went to the flat land outside the village for a walk. Zhang Ju took Xu Yuling's hand and walked in front. Su Ce looked at the two people in front of him with disgust, and muttered in his heart: "God! Ever since I met these two people, I was fed dog food every day, and I was about to lose my life. Please give me a gentle, virtuous, and beautiful girlfriend, for whom I am willing to be a cow and a horse. ”
Su Ce looked up at the blue sky, the white clouds on the horizon, and began to fantasize in his mind, his face gradually covered with a smile, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile. They walked aimlessly forward like this, and suddenly Su Ce spoke: "Brother Ju! Shall we go to that mountain at night? ”
Zhang Ju turned his head, stared at him with both eyes and said, "No hurry! Let's go back to Kangding first, make some preparations, and then avoid everyone's eyes and ears and come back here. When the time comes, we'll go straight up to the mountain to the north and not let anyone know. ”
Xu Yuling suddenly spoke: "Why don't you go directly?" If you want to go back to Kangding, you have to take the car back again! ”
Zhang Ju explained: "That mountain is so weird that they say, there should be something. We're doing this to get rid of Tashi Gelai and Dawa. Now that we know the general location, it's much easier to do now, and after we return to Kangding, we can fly back directly in the evening. It's always better to be secretive here, and if the Muya people know that we are robbing the tomb of their gods, they must come to us like crazy? ”
Su Ce opened his mouth and said, "Brother Ju is right! We must not let them know that we have to do this quietly, and then go to Guiyang, and we must do it without knowing it. ”
Xu Yuling said with a little loss on her face: "Okay! I'm really scared of that car! ”
Zhang Ju stretched out his right hand and touched her hair, and said, "Yuling! Thank you! ”
Xu Yuling looked at him and smiled slightly: "No! As long as I am with you, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it! ”
They continued to walk forward, and after a while, Xu Yuling suddenly spoke: "Then when will we go back?" ”
Zhang Ju said, "I'll go back tomorrow, and I'll tell Tashi in the evening." Now that our goal has been achieved, Li Zhongge's tomb will not run anyway. ”
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was a new day, and when they returned to Kangding, it was already afternoon. After saying goodbye to Tashi Gelai, they found a hotel and opened a room for half a month. After the three of them washed up, Su Ce came to Zhang Ju and Xu Yuling's room. The three of them sat down on the couch and began to discuss. Su Ce was the first to speak: "Brother Ju! Shall we go get some blood? Swap out the contents of the bag. ”
Zhang Ju opened his mouth and said, "Hmm! In the evening we went to the biggest hospital here to prepare some of them. ”
Xu Yuling's lips moved slightly, and she asked, "Shall we prepare some tools?" ”
The corners of Zhang Ju's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled: "There is no need to prepare anything, we have to enter the tomb with our bare hands and open the coffin with our bare hands." ”
Xu Yuling looked surprised and said, "Bare hands? ”
Zhang Ju nodded and continued, "Yes! Don't forget that we're not human now! ”
As the sun sets, night is falling, a full moon hangs in the east, and the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar has arrived. Zhang Ju and Su Ce brought back a lot of blood from the city hospital in Kangding. After they redistributed the blood in the hotel, they cleaned it up, and the three disappeared into the hotel in an instant. In less than a few seconds, the three of them stood on the roof of the hotel, Zhang Ju stretched out his right hand and pointed to the northwest, and then the three of them flew to the northwest.
They ran wildly, and after two or three hours, they came to mid-air above Muya. Looking down at his feet, there was silence below, without a glimmer of light. By the moonlight in the sky, the square village could be faintly seen. Su Ce said softly: "It seems that the Muya people have already fallen asleep, and the night in this place is really surprisingly quiet." ”
Zhang Ju stared at his feet with his eyes, opened his mouth and said, "You wait for me for a few minutes, and I'll come when I go." ”
As soon as the words fell, he disappeared in place, and Xu Yuling snorted: "This is too sudden, what is Zhang Ju going to do?" ”
Su Ce opened his mouth and comforted: "Yuling! Don't worry! Brother Ju is very measured. ”
A few minutes later, Zhang Ju appeared in front of the two of them, and he said to them, "Let's go!" Let's go north. ”
Xu Yuling was a little unhappy and said: "Zhang Ju! What did you do just now? ”
Zhang Ju turned his head to look at her and said, "Yuling! Good job! I went to the village to see if they were all asleep! ”
Xu Yuling said in disbelief: "Okay! ”
As they approached, the mountain to the north gradually appeared in front of them, and the top of the mountain was glowing white, like snow. At this time, their altitude was at least two thousand meters, and if they kept moving forward like this, they would be able to stay halfway up the mountain.
Their speed slowed down, and after a while, the three of them landed halfway up the mountain. With the help of the moonlight shining from the east, they saw a slope, and above the slope was a straight cliff face that stretched to the top of the mountain, almost ninety degrees. Above the cliff face, there are smooth stone slabs, on which there seems to be no vegetation. In the light of the moon, there are some reflections.
The top of the rock wall seems to be wrapped in thousand-year-old ice, and the slightly dazzling reflection is like crystal. On the ground in front of them, the weeds were luxuriant, some gravel was faintly visible in the grass, and the leaves were already covered with dew. Su Ce turned around and looked at the other side, Mu Ya was completely out of sight.
He opened his mouth and said, "Brother Ju! How do we find Li Zhongge's tomb? ”
Zhang Ju said calmly: "With Yuling here, I'm afraid I won't find it!" ”
Xu Yuling, who was beside Zhang Ju, put her backpack on the ground, took out her red box from it, and gently placed it on the ground. Then she sealed her hands, raised her right hand upward, and the red box on the ground suddenly opened. She crouched down next to the box and pulled out a compass from it.
