Originally, outside the city, there is still some momentum of dilapidation through the glass, some weathered ruins, and when you get closer, it is simply no different from the dilapidated and collapsed earthen houses in our countryside, except for sand, broken tiles and rotten wood, no matter how you look at it, there will be no treasure.

Originally, there was a thick layer of yellow sand buried under the pagoda that looked like a thirteen-story pagoda, and I don't know how many layers there were under the yellow sand, and the surrounding buildings were also buried under the yellow sand, and some of them only exposed a roof, which also made us lose the desire to go in and see.

It is recorded in the history books that Xiaowan was annexed by Shanshanguo, like such an iron wall, want to fall, it is estimated that Shanshanguo also paid a lot of price, Xiaowanguo and with the disappearance of Shanshan Dynasty, it has become an eternal mystery, recorded in the ancient seal, here is not like other countries in the desert in general, because of the cut off of water sources, and to extinction, but the water source here is quite sufficient, Xiaowan Buddhism as the state religion in the faith, the whole country without exception believes in Buddhism, has always been kind to people, Legend has it that it was a struggle between sects that brought the country to extinction, and the sect that stood on the opposite side of Buddhism is not recorded in the ancient seals.

We looked at this dilapidated scene and felt bored, but Gutong and Emma were very interested in the big and small things in the city, and the tiles scattered on the ground could be picked up and looked at with relish, which seriously delayed our walking.

I was about to remind them to speed up, but the fat man preemptively said, "Miss Duan, I can't imagine that for you, an expert who has drunk foreign ink in the empire on which the sun never sets, these broken tiles are so important, it's really puzzling."

Emma didn't understand the meaning of the fat man's words, and subconsciously took over: "This is that you are uneducated, for us these are ....."

Before she finished speaking, the second child walked in front of her with Li Mei on her back, and Emma realized that the fat man's words meant something else, and the words stopped abruptly, and then opened a pair of big eyes and glared at the fat man. I wondered when the fat man had become so smart, and he knew to turn around and say that others were inhuman.

The team fell silent instantly, and Gu Tong seemed to understand something, and said casually: "Oops.. It's just that these things are so attractive, we need to save Meizi now, according to the records on the map, there is a dark river under this ancient city, but in addition to this pagoda, there seems to be no other place to accommodate people. ”

If you say this, you don't say it, where else can you go except enter the pagoda? Everyone looked for their way through the ruins to the highest and most complete stupa, and the fat man said to him as he walked, "Old Zou, do you know? I've grown so big, and I've never wanted to take a shower like I do now, these days I just rub my body with sand, and the skin on my body is about to fall off two layers, oops... Don't talk about it, the more you talk about it, the more itchy it gets. ”

I said to the fat man, "Do you know what I'm thinking? I want to have a chilled watermelon and drink a pot of it beautifully, not to mention how refreshing it tastes. Don't look at this place now in a dilapidated state, just rush to this pagoda, standing for thousands of years, you should also know how much of a cow there was back then. ”

The fat man said: "Look at your cow, it seems to be like your home, you think about it back then, you really think far enough, besides, this pagoda has not fallen for thousands of years, it does not mean that the watermelon in it is not bad for thousands of years, even if the shelf life of the queen mother's peach is not so long." Seriously, where this bird doesn't, even if anyone gives me another 100,000 dollars in the future, I won't come in, you see what I've lost weight, there are many ways to die in this world, and now I want to say that the most torturous thing is to die of thinness, watching myself lose weight little by little to bones. ”

Speaking of death, it reminds me of the third child, who was sucked clean of blood by the spider and died, and it was too late to rescue, this may really be the thin death that the fat man said, although he died quickly, before he died, he saw that he was sucked clean blood and died, this kind of fear, I am afraid it is indescribable. In Yunnan, I have seen blood-sucking lobsters, which are a kind of large lobsters that have been thought to be transformed, and they have also been carefully cultivated by the witchcraft of the Miao people, and the spiders here are similar to the lobsters at that time, although I don't know what kind of connection there is, now I only hope that I will not encounter them again after entering the pagoda.

After setting the direction, we walked through the dilapidated ruins, and walked for a long time before we came to the pagoda that looked shining with golden light from the outside, if this is really the country of Xiaowan Kingdom, then now I really begin to wonder if their king was a monk thousands of years ago, except for the pagoda, there are only dilapidated weathered and unsightly earthen walls, and there are no large buildings like a royal palace,

Gu Tong said that this is not unusual, after all, there are so many controversies in the history of this small Wan country, although it is a bit absurd, but it is also a kind of conjecture, this king may have used the pagoda as an office and palace is still unknown.

Emma walked up to the stupa and knocked on it, then said to us, "There is some truth in what Master Gu said, but there is also another possibility, this palace is under the stupa, and the stupa is just a way for the ruler to brainwash his subjects and show goodwill. Come and see if this stupa is the same thing as the walls that we see outside. ”

The surface of the stupa is made of glass, and the inside is another golden material, except for the thirteen floors on the ground, the whole tower body stands upright in the desert, which is extremely solid, perhaps because the entire tower body is made of glass.

In addition to this, there is a glittering object at the top of the stupa on which the sunlight shines and reflects the golden light from time to time.

Gu Tong pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked up for a long time, looked at it with a telescope, and kept talking to himself: "Xiao Wanguo, Xiao Wanguo, glass, glass, hey..."

I was about to ask him if he had thought of something, but he shook his head and got into the tower gate, and as if he had made some new discovery, we hurried to follow.

The inside and outside of the stupa are completely two worlds, not the reason for the modeling, the walls in the tower are densely carved with some peculiar words, each layer has some different stone statues, the same as the outside wall, the appearance is a layer of glass, the inside is a kind of golden ore, each layer is a different statue, goat, dragon, tiger, unicorn, etc., from the eleventh floor, there is no text on the wall, there is a lifelike white crane in the middle, the color and demeanor are the same as the real crane. It's black and white, so much so that it reminds me of the phoenix egg before.

Gu Tong stopped and said to us: "If my guess is correct, we can now completely overturn the previous view of Xiaowanguo, Xiaowanguo is not a country that respects Buddhism alone, if this stupa represents the belief of outsiders that Xiaowanguo thinks, then the inside is their own true faith, all the words in it are from Middle-earth, called Tadpole Wen, legend has it that the characters were created from Cangjie, and the first is this kind of writing, and the content described above should be related to Taoism." ”

Such earth-shattering news, not to mention Emma, even a few of us who don't know anything about history, feel amazing when they hear it, Li Guohua asked: "Shouldn't Taoism be our sect in the Central Plains?" How did it appear in this small country in the Western Regions? And it will be with Buddhism. ”

Gu Tong said: "There is a sentence I don't know if you have heard of it, Lao Tzu rode a green ox out of Guguan. But do you know where Lao Tzu went out of Hangu Pass? There is a folk legend that Lao Tzu went to the West, in the West he is no longer the ancestor of Taoism, turned into a Buddha, and thus gave birth to Buddhism, the two religions are the same root and the same origin in the final analysis, and in this pagoda, each layer is a mythical beast in Taoism, each beast represents a class in Taoism, and the white crane is also one of Lao Tzu's mounts. ”

The fat man said: "So it's Lao Tzu on this, or he rides the green ox out of Guguan." "Let's go upstairs first.

I followed the climate closely, but the result was beyond our expectations, the top layer, but no Lao Tzu, no green ox, but a huge Dan furnace, or a large incense burner, are almost above my head, under the Dan furnace is a circular pit, it is estimated that it is used to make a fire, the oval Dan furnace has no ears and horns, and a large egg is almost no different, but the surface of the Dan furnace is not the Yin and Yang pattern in Taoism, but the phoenix, which looks very similar to our previous phoenix egg.

At this time, Emma also brought everyone up, saw the Dan furnace in it, and explained that it was amazing, Emma said: "Taoism is good at alchemy, although immortality is the spring and autumn dream of the ruling class, but alchemy still left a strong mark in Chinese history after all, after all, gunpowder was invented in the process, but this kind of Dan furnace with phoenixes on all sides is really rare, or this is the original totem of Taoism on its behalf." The top may be related to Lao Tzu. ”

With these unexpected discoveries, we are even more anxious to know what the last remaining layer will be. In the process of going upstairs, we imagined countless possibilities related to Lao Tzu, but what we didn't expect was that there was nothing in this ghost place. There are no stone statues, no furnaces, no pits, no stone statue bases, and even the walls are clean.

I looked at Emma and Gu Tong suspiciously, and the two of them were also bowing their heads in contemplation when they saw this, Li Guohua asked on the side: "Could this be stolen by someone, could this be a hidden Taoist treasure?" It was emptied when Shanshanguo called."
