Sand Sea Devil's Nest 18

Just about to go up, Ye Yixin was blown by the morning breeze on the tower, and suddenly woke up, Shirley Yang took out the kettle and fed her some water, she was still very weak, but compared to when she was unconscious, it is much more reassuring now, her dehydration is still very obvious, but for the time being, there is no need to worry about her life, since she has woken up, then it will be treated with a large amount of cold salt water within a day or two, and it will be fine.

We were all anxious to find out what strange things were on the tower, and by the way, we looked for the entrance to the underground palace of the ancient city, and helped her to the fifth floor of the Black Tower.

During the short time I walked up to the fifth floor of the Black Tower, I thought about all kinds of possibilities, but I didn't expect that the fifth floor was empty, not even the base of the stone statue, just the ciphertext on the wall, and more.

I asked Professor Chen, "Is this floor destroyed?" Or stolen? ”

Professor Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, just look at the upper floor to know what is famous here." ”

The stone statue in this black tower aroused everyone's curiosity, and they couldn't wait to go up the steps in the tower to the top floor, and in the top of the tower stood a black throne, on which sat a statue of a woman, dressed in gorgeous costumes, and her face was carved with a veil, and her face could not be seen, but at a glance, it could be seen that this stone statue was exactly the same as the exquisite queen depicted on the mural of the ancient tomb of Prince Pumo, and the full-body stone statues of the four queens.

Everyone was talking, and they were all speculating about what the queen looked like.

I couldn't think of a reason, so I asked them, "What kind of medicine is sold in this queen's gourd?" Why don't even the statues show their true faces? ”

The fat man replied: "In my opinion, it is just a suspense, what is the first beauty in the Western Regions, most of them are ugly and ugly, otherwise they are afraid of being seen by people when they are so hidden, but this figure is really said in the past, the plate is not successful, and the strips are still smooth." ”

I said that you have accumulated some virtue in your mouth, these people have been dead for 2,000 years, you still look at the good or bad of people's bodies, you see how similar the things in this city are to those legends, in case this queen is really a monster, I can't tell where I will jump out and bite you, let's not guess, let's listen to what the professor has to say.

Professor Chen has never spoken since he went up to the sixth floor of the Black Tower, and has been connecting these clues in his mind. The people of the Elite Country are mainly composed of the Ghost Cave Clan, this nation has long been extinct, and no bones of any of them have been unearthed at present, so it is impossible to infer the origin and background of this race, we have so far, the biggest discovery is that this race uses the eye as a totem, which is definitely a major breakthrough in the study of the civilization of the ancient Western Regions, with this basis, many puzzles that have plagued scholars for many years will be solved. ”

The fat man asked again, "Then why is this fifth layer empty?" ”

I suddenly thought that we were in the ancient tomb of Prince Pumo, and I couldn't help but blurt out what Shirley Yang said: "Imaginary space." ”

Professor Chen nodded slightly and said, "Exactly, above the Patron Saint, there is an indescribable imaginary space, and the queen is above it, as if she completely controls this unknown space, and there is a totem in the shape of an eye on the top of the tower, which shows that the queen's power also comes from her eyes." ”

Hearing this, everyone's hearts inevitably felt a little hairy, could it be that there really is such a space in this world that is beyond human common sense? And the queen can control that other world through her eyes, isn't she really a monster, but fortunately she's dead.

Professor Chen saw that everyone was worried, so he continued: "You don't need to be nervous, the ancient rulers mostly used these myths to fool the people, so as to consolidate their dominance, just think that those emperors in the Central Plains, all of them said that they were the true dragon sons of heaven and gave orders to the heavens, but in fact? It's just a means to fool the people. It is not surprising that this queen never shows her face and pretends to be a ghost. However, these monuments are of great value for the study of ancient history and culture, and the significance of this stone pagoda is very significant. ”

We saw that there was nothing in the black tower except the stone statue, so we looked down on the whole city from the tower, and saw that the whole exquisite city was mixed with the yellow sand in the desert, and the outline of the ruins of the ancient city was also the shape of a huge eye.

Professor Chen looked at it and asked me, "Brother Hu, you have a very good opinion on feng shui, what do you think of the feng shui in this city?" ”

I thought to myself that the first priority now was to find a source of water in the palace, why did this old man test me again, did the professor think that the queen's tomb was just below the palace, so he carefully observed the geography around him.

I pointed to the Zagrama Twin Mountains in the north and said, "Professor, the black mountains are mostly like a black dragon in the desert, which can only be broken in the middle, and one dragon becomes two snakes. In ancient times, the emperors were from the first time they ascended the throne, they immediately began to prepare the mausoleum for themselves a hundred years later, if this ancient city really has underground water veins, and this Zagrama echoes from afar, forming a static and moving trend, presumably the exquisite queen is also a brilliant strange person, knowing that the black dragon is not lucky, then mobilize manpower, cut off the black dragon and nail it, so that it will always guard its own mausoleum, this city will form an excellent treasure cave, if the queen's mausoleum is really in the city, the scale must not be small, so there is one thing I don't understand, Professor, you said that her royal palace is underground, and I think the ancient tomb is also underground, which is a bit cramped. ”

Professor Chen praised: "Sure enough, I think the palace and the ancient tomb are indeed underground in the city, but they are not crowded together, they may be divided into three layers, the upper floor is the castle, the underground layer is the palace, and the deepest part is the mausoleum of the exquisite queen. ”

Legend has it that there have been explorers who have visited this ancient city more than once, but the yellow sand is constantly moved by the wind, and they can not find their traces at all, and some of them may have entered the underground palace, but it is completely impossible to verify, and naturally it is impossible to see where those people entered the underground palace.

In the ancient city of Jingzhuo, knowing that the royal city is at the foot, but can not find the entrance, the end is to make people anxious, we are on the tower street by street, a broken house and a broken house to see, and finally found a stone building in the city that is higher than the ordinary house, it is also covered with a layer of yellow sand, do not look carefully, it is really not easy to find.

It seemed that this was the only clue, we hurried to the front, the building seemed to be a temple, also made of Zagrama black stone, the stone door caused a large mouth of a giant beast, the door was piled up with a large amount of yellow sand, the fat man and I dug a passage, everyone put on gas masks, and advanced with cold smoke and fire.

The stone hall is very grand, there are 2816 giant stone pillars, but the front of the door is blocked by yellow sand, and there is no sand inside.

On the floor of the deepest part of the hall, this jade eyeball is enshrined, and there are naturally formed red threads and blue pupils in the jade.

I couldn't stop talking, obediently, this thing must be priceless, that is, just look at it, touch it, and it is not in vain to be born and die into a desert, it is really an artifact, if you don't see it with your own eyes, how can you think of such a treasure in the world.

The fat man couldn't hold it back, and wanted to move the jade eyeball down and put it in the backpack, but after using Zhilian a few times, the eyeball seemed to take root on the floor, and it didn't move at all.

Professor Chen was afraid that the fat man would ruin this ancient artifact, so he hurriedly pulled him away so that he could not move, and Shirley Yang found that there was a groove on the jade eyeball, which had a strange shape, which was very similar to the fat man's jade pendant, so he said to the fat man: "Try your family heirloom jade pendant on it, this seems to be a mechanism." ”

The fat man was overjoyed, took out his jade pendant from his arms, pushed everyone else aside, and inserted the jade pendant into the groove of the jade eyeball by himself: "If this is right, then this big eyeball is Lao Tzu, who grabs it and who is in a hurry, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind, he ***, this is really a good thing, Lao Hu, this time we are really famous." ”
