Chapter 215: Tower
Qiao An looked at the yellow sky in front of him, his brows were furrowed tightly, he knew that if he delayed for some hours, it would be a very dangerous thing, but Xia Zhi shouted on the side: "Hurry up, otherwise we will all be buried alive by the wind and sand in a while." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info: "The eyes of the dead fish on the summer solstice are half-open and half-closed in the wind and sand.
Xia Zhi's words are definitely not alarmist, the big storm in the desert can indeed bury the eight of them alive, even these six camels may be in danger, if it is a super storm, these eight people may also be swept up by the wind. The consequences are even more unpredictable.
Qiao An and the others quickened their pace and ran forward against the wind and sand, which was like a knife, and it hurt a little on their faces.
Jin Mercury didn't dare to open his mouth, one hand to protect his eyes, while walking forward, walking for a while, the wind and sand became bigger and bigger, and the sky had changed greatly.
The clouds gathered more and more in the sky, and these clouds covered the sun in the sky, and the sky was dark and dark at this time.
But fortunately, there is a five-story octagonal tower in front of it.
Eight people and six camels, with great difficulty, came to the tower of the five-story octagonal tower, the periphery of the tower is a layer of sand wall, in the center of the sand wall, there is an entrance like a gate, Qiao An and eight people can't care so much at this time, refuge priority.
Joan rode in on a camel.
This five-storey octagonal tower has one floor with five meters, the second floor has four meters, the third floor has three meters, the fourth floor has two meters, the fifth floor has one meter, the tower wall is white, eight walls, each side has a layer of iron windows, one wall of the first floor comes out, there is a tall red painted iron door.
There were two lion's heads on the iron door as knockers, and Joan got off the camel and knocked politely on the door, but no one answered inside.
Xia Solstice didn't care so much, time was pressing, he used all his strength with both palms, and shot at the iron door with one palm, the iron door trembled slightly, but the door did not open.
At this time, the situation was critical, Xia Zhi didn't dare to delay for a second longer, Zhang Xuqiu looked at the northwest, and saw that the northwest was already a piece of black pressure, no longer yellow, and rows of sand walls more than two meters high swept in their direction against the storm. It was impossible for Zhang Xuqiu to retreat at this time, he could only shout anxiously: "Why, can't the door be opened?" ”
When he said this, he ate a lot of sand.
The yellow sand is flying all over the sky, and the current environment is at best a small sandstorm, and if that pile of sand walls comes, it will really be a big storm in the dark.
Xia Zhi tried his best to push the iron door, which seemed to be heavy, or the iron door was too compact to be connected to the door frame and was not easy to open.
Jin Mercury saw that it was very difficult to push the door under the strong wind on the summer solstice, so he stepped forward to help, but the iron door still shook slightly, but it did not open.
Luo Beixi and Zhang Xuqiu also went to help, and a thin crack appeared in the iron gate.
At this time, it was dark, the clouds covered the sky, the four of them gritted their teeth hard, the big iron door finally opened a little, and Qiao An took out a flashlight to shine the light on them.
Yun Caiyao rode a camel and calmly cleared her throat, covered her mouth with her hand, and said, "Don't panic, take your time." ”
Qiao An glanced at Yun Caiyao, he felt that this Yun Caiyao actually covered his mouth to preach to them, but he rode a camel motionless, he really looked like a boss, but at this time the situation was critical, Qiao An was not easy to speak, he handed the flashlight to Lin Qingxue, and he also stepped forward to push the door, Professor Xu also stepped forward to push the door, and the iron door creaked and was pushed open by six people.
Inside the iron door, a puff of humid air appeared.
But eight people didn't care so much, they led six camels and went inside, and eight people, six camels were forced to squeeze in.
The five-story octagonal tower was pitch black, Lin Qingxue took a flashlight and shone it around, Xia Zhi looked at the iron door and said, "We have to close the door now, if the sand is poured in, we will be bad." ”
After Xia Zhi finished speaking, he hurriedly ran to the iron door and closed the door hard, this door was very easy, and with a slight push, it was firmly closed.
Eight people stood together, Lin Qingxue returned the flashlight to Qiao An, and said, "I think it's gloomy here, and I'm a little afraid." ”
Joan took a flashlight and shone around the tower, the walls of the tower were bright red, and there were some unknown runes faintly carved on them.
In the center of the tower, there is a golden sculpture, which at first glance looks like a sculpture of a god, but if you identify it carefully, it doesn't look like it.
The two hands of this sculpture pose orchid fingers, and one of the orchid fingers has a red round bead on it, which is particularly conspicuous.
The sculpture was wearing a long-sleeved shirt with a checkered shirt, the cuffs on one arm were very wide, and there seemed to be something hidden inside, the sculpture's expression was a little strange, a pair of eyes were a little sinister, the mouth was smiling, and the hair was fluttering.
Above the forehead, there is a big red dot, and in the red dot, there is a dark and sinister lotus flower.
Professor Xu looked at the sculpture and said, "This should be a product of modern times." ”
Professor Xu has been an archaeologist for many years, and he has authority on antiquities, so Qiao An couldn't see who carved this statue, so he asked: "Who can see this statue?" ”
As soon as his words fell, he heard a "whoosh" sound, the summer solstice looked towards the tower window, the tower window is in the shape of a hexagonal diamond, there are a lot of iron bars in the diamond, the inside of the iron bar, blocking a layer of glass, but the window is very small, can only see a rough.
The wind outside was getting louder and louder, and the wind was like a wolf howling, very harsh.
Qiao An listened to the wind outside, touched her heart with her hand and said, "If it weren't for this tower, we might really have to fight the desert storm."
Lin Qingxue touched her hand and said, "Why is it wet here." ”
Luo Beixi listened attentively, he motioned to everyone not to speak, Qiao An and the others saw Luo Beixi make this action, and they all instantly quieted down.
The wind outside was so loud that it was impossible to hear any sound inside the tower, Luo Beixi pointed to the ground and said coldly: "There is the sound of tides underground." ”
Jin Mercury listened to Luo Beixi's words, smiled and said, "Are you nervous, how can there be tides here." ”
Xia Solstice floated his head on the ground, listened to the ground with his ears, and sure enough, there were bursts of tidal sounds, this sound was definitely not coming from outside, how could there be the sound of tides in this barren desert?
Xia Zhi stared at the dead fish and was a little confused.
Qiao An saw that Xia Zhi's expression had a subtle change, so he also attached his head to the ground, and sure enough, there was a burst of tide sound, Qiao An listened to this voice, and his heart was a little inexplicable, he stood up and said, "There is a sea underground?" (To be continued.) )
