Chapter 222: Golden City

We opened the broken stone door together, and the sight inside was truly shocking. There are not only a lot of human bones inside, but also a lot of fragments of bronze leopards. Whether it is the bones of a human or a bronze leopard, they all seem to be broken, what kind of battle has been going on here.

We searched around and found that there seemed to be only one living bronze leopard, and it seemed that he was the last one alive here. At this time, the bronze leopard began to circle around us again, tilting its head sideways from time to time, as if wishing we to look at something over there. We followed the leopard and found a very hidden secret door.

"Brother, push a hand." We each pushed the corner of the secret door, and with a hard push, the whole secret door was completely pushed into the wall. One of us pushed about seven or eight meters inside, and the secret door stopped moving. We looked to the left and a new passage appeared next to it. Grab the torches, we're going to go inside.

This passage is not narrow, and a few of us can walk side by side. There are colorful things on both sides, and it looks like a mural or something. There are various figures and animals painted on it, but unlike reality, these animals are made of bronze instead of real animals. And the characters wore masks that were identical to the golden masks we found. Not only that, but all the buildings in this mural are golden, and it is gold.

"Uncle, this mural is about these bronze animals, but I see that the paintings here are full of gold, how can there be such a place in reality." My uncle didn't quite agree with me at this time.

"It's not impossible to be full of gold, so isn't it also recorded in Marco Polo's travels that the East is full of gold. These bronze beasts and people in golden masks reminded me of a place, the legendary Golden City. "Golden City, I don't think I've heard of this place.

"Uncle, don't make people angry, hurry up and tell me what kind of place that golden city is, is it really a city built of gold."

"Well, Marco Polo came to China along the Silk Road from Italy, and when he entered the territory of today's Xinjiang in China, he was separated from his caravan. In the days when he was separated from the caravan, he stumbled into the legendary Golden City. ”

"In this golden city, everything is made of gold, and there is glitter everywhere. The people here are very friendly and kindly received Marco Polo and showed him around. The people of the Golden City wear a golden mask on their faces at all times, and the masks are decorated with various colored gemstones. Marco Polo tried several times to see what kind of faces were under the mask, but he found that these people never took off their masks. ”

"The scenery near the Golden City is strange, Xinjiang was originally a desert, but here is lush vegetation, and there are even a few big rivers. The animals there also seem to be different from other places in that they are made of some kind of metal. Although it is metal, it is also alive and can even reproduce. "I look at the bronze puppies that follow us, these things turned out to be such a rare race.

"The small ones can be used as pets for the local residents, and the larger ones can be domesticated to help the locals protect the city. Marco Polo had been staying there for a while, but suddenly one day the locals issued an eviction order to Marco Polo. At first, he just thought that the locals were tired of him, but then Marco Polo found out that it was actually the Golden City that was facing a disaster, and he didn't want to involve him, so he hurried away. ”

When Marco Polo left, he found that the army of the Golden City was preparing for battle, and although he did not recognize the weapons, he knew at a glance that they were very powerful. He followed the path that the people of the Golden City had shown him, and finally made it out of the desert, and after a few months finally found the caravan. But when he talked about his energy, no one believed him, and in the end he could only write his energy into this Marco Polo's travels. ”

My uncle's story is finished, but I don't believe it, because I have also read Marco Polo's travels, and there is no record of the Golden City in it.

"Uncle, you made up this story, I have also read Marco Polo's travels, and there is no record of the Golden City in it. I don't read much, don't lie to me. ”

"Hehe, what you are looking at is not the original, but it is just a children's book that was born after countless revisions. Marco Polo was later persecuted by the Holy See, and the account of the Golden City in the travelogue only became a sentence of gold everywhere in the East. If you could see this Marco Polo's travels, you wouldn't have asked such boring questions. ”

"Uncle, then you've seen the original."

"Of course." My uncle said proudly at this time.

"Lao Tzu was fortunate enough to see the original version once in the bureau, which ones are true and which ones are fake naturally better than you, don't question me again in the future." My uncle looks like I've got the final say.

As we continued to move forward, the murals next to us became clearer and clearer, and the things on the murals on this side were really exactly the same as the Golden City that my uncle told about. All over the place are made of gold and bronze of all kinds of animals. I was skeptical of my uncle just now, but now I'm starting to believe that the Golden City that my uncle said is real.

We walked for a while, and suddenly a huge light appeared in front of us, but it was not like the light of the exit, but a golden light. We hurried over, and the scene in front of us really made our mouths water. I saw that at the end of this passage was a huge space, and everything in it was gold, but it was all made of gold.

We ran into this huge space, where there were tons of gold artifacts, and even the floor on the ground was paved with gold bricks. The walls and ceiling next to it are also whitewashed with gold leaf. Everything here is golden, and we are dazzled when we see it, and Song Bald has already begun to buckle gold bricks from the ground and put them in his backpack.

"Stop, Song Bald. We weren't the first to enter, but there was no damage here. It's not that those people are not greedy for money, but that there must be very serious consequences for messing around with the gold bricks here. As soon as my uncle said this, Song Bald put down the work in his hand and reluctantly left.

"Brother Yu, look what it is."

We looked in the direction that Song Bald pointed out, and a huge golden coffin appeared in the middle of the cave.
