Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Invisible Wall

Most of this magical ancient ruins have been destroyed, and it has existed in this desert for more than 1,000 years, and it is no longer clear whether it is a sand dune or a fortress, except for the shining stupa, the others have also collapsed and weathered, even so, it is enough to realize the grandeur and majesty of the year. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This place is full of mystery and unknown, how many years of time have formed today's barren sand sea, in that scientifically backward era, this is in the hinterland of the barren sand sea, it is estimated that few people can get here, and it has naturally become a mysterious existence, and I don't know how the ancestor of the Li family got this map, and he must have paid a painful price.

Li Guohua stood in place for a long time without speaking, turned his head and said excitedly to the second child: "Mr. Zou, second child, Miss Duan, on behalf of the Li family ancestors, I thank you for your help, if it weren't for you, I guess I wouldn't be able to find this place in the next life, but unfortunately the third child will never see it again." ”

It is really not easy for a boss to say this to the person he has cultivated since childhood, but after thinking about it, if it weren't for the third child paying the price of his life, it is estimated that even if Li Guohua wants to thank them, he will not thank the two of them.

I couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and said to Emma: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Duan, I owe you a life, and in the future, my old Zou will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity..."

Before I finished speaking, the fat man leaned into my ear and whispered: "Don't talk about calves, one yard is one yard, thank you later, our current price is 80,000 US dollars, the British like to write checks, we don't want that..."

The fat man's words just said to my heart, but I felt that the time was wrong, and I was embarrassed to talk to Li Guohua, and wanted to turn around and ask Emma to talk to him for us, but Li Guohua heard it in his ears, Li Guohua rubbed his face and let out a sigh: "Mr. Zou, Mr. Li, please rest assured, the 80,000 US dollars that my father promised you will not be less, if you can find something valuable, I personally add 20,000 US dollars, how about it?" ”

As soon as the two of us heard it, we were all here, and there was still a chance to pay the price, is there really such a good thing? Quickly smiled and nodded heavily, and suddenly felt a strange feeling behind him, and when he looked back, Emma's originally soft gaze was full of disdain when he looked at the two of us at this time.

I smiled at her embarrassedly, and looked at the other people around me, the fat man and I were both surrounded by their same gaze at this time, the fat man looked unaware of how much RMB 100,000 dollars could be exchanged for, I pulled the fat man's sleeve, and quickly changed the topic, but I didn't know what to say, and I stammered and said something else: "This... Well... That tower is so weird....."

Emma still looked calm, glanced at us and said: "Mr. Zou, we have been together for more than a month, to be honest, with the experience of the two of you, there should be no shortage of money, but I didn't expect you to only care about money." This baffles me..."

This ironic sentence made me speechless, and the fat man said: "Miss Duan, your old man was born in a military family, and he never suffered any crimes in his grandfather's life, and when he grew up, he studied in the empire where the sun never sets, grew up in a socialist country, and lived the life of a capitalist, of course you don't know how hard our socialist country was back then, even if you have the ability to overwhelm the mountains and seas, you can only survive in the countryside, for our poor children, money is of course the most important, don't you capitalists often say, Money can make the ghost grind, you are the one who pays, we are the little ghosts, how to push the grind, you have the final say, but you will not talk to us from the perspective of money in the future, you are not used to it, we are not used to listening. ”

I think the fat man's words are not rough, no matter how to say that our owner this time is the old Li family, although her Duan family is also a landlord and old wealth, but always stand on the moral high ground to talk to us, it really makes people feel uncomfortable, adhering to the principle of being in the same boat, this can not be said too dead, the fat man turned his words, and gave instructions if he had any orders.

The deceased is gone, the living still have to find a way to live, finding a water source is the top priority at the moment, Li Mei has reached a precarious point due to trauma and severe dehydration, if she is not rescued in time, the next one is afraid of her.

At the moment, I packed up my equipment and went into the city, and now I just hope that there will be no more accidents, otherwise it will be another name for making money and spending money.

Who would have thought that as soon as he set off, it backfired, Li Guohua was too excited, and took the lead in walking towards the ancient city, with a muffled bang, Li Guohua's whole person hit an invisible wall, and his nose bleeded at that time, and his tears were about to come out, and he squatted on the ground with his face covered and couldn't speak for a long time.

Looking at Li Guohua's nosebleed stuck to the "air", everyone was shocked, the ancient city that could be seen and touched, was it because it was blocked by something? Tong Qin hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Guohua and help him stop the bleeding, it seemed that because he was too excited, this time the collision was not light.

I stepped forward and stretched out my hand to touch the things blocking the way, I couldn't say the surprise in my heart, this is a glass wall, I was hit by Li Guohua like this, I didn't move at all, and its hardness can be seen, it seems that this so-called illusory ancient city does not exist, it can be seen through the glass, but people can't pass through, so some people call it the mirror flower and water moon, you can see it, you can't touch it.

I told everyone my opinion, Rao is Emma is well-informed, and he is also puzzled by the things in front of him, and Gu Tong is proficient in Chinese history, which is also unheard of. We all know that glass is very brittle, the larger the area, the easier it is to break, and the big glass blocking our way in front of us is not thick enough, just Li Guohua hit it like this, it should have become a glass slag a long time ago.

At this time, I looked at the past, there is a hollow position behind the glass, which should be the reason for the thickness of the glass, and visually, it is not too thick, no more than half a meter at most. Fifty grams of C4 at most can blow up a hole, I discussed with everyone, prepared to plant explosives, and asked Dachun to drive the camel and lead everyone to hide in the corner of the rift behind him, and looked up.

The huge glass extends all the way to the top of the white limestone layer, our road in and out of the valley is completely blocked by this huge glass wall, if it is blown up, I am afraid that this whole piece of glass will have a chain reaction due to the explosion, the whole glass wall will collapse, and then the entrance to this valley will really be blocked, don't think about going in again, we will die this time, and this will be in vain.

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to give up the idea of explosives, and at this time, the thought that had been lingering in my mind before suddenly had a clue, and I leaned against the glass wall and tried to recall the whole story.

During the Western Han Dynasty, in order to defeat the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, sent an envoy to the Dayue clan to persuade the countries of the Western Regions to unite with the soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and to fight one family, forming an east-west attack on the Xiongnu. A total of several envoys were sent, in order to prevent being persecuted by the Huns halfway, one of the teams passed by Xiaowan, and went to meet the king of Xiaowan at that time as a **** envoy, seeing that the royal city was close at hand, but only saw its city, did not hear its voice, the royal city was loosely defended, the people were peaceful, and there was no intention of fighting.

It should be said that this illusory ancient city in front of you, in the story, the envoys of the Han Dynasty received the highest courtesy from the king of Xiaowan Kingdom, as if they were guests, but did not mention anything about the attack on the Huns, the envoys returned to Chang'an, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked the reason, and the envoys said that the capital of Xiaowan Kingdom was solid as gold, if no one guided, even if it was a million iron horsemen of the Huns, they could only see the city, and did not hear their voices, so the whole people had no intention of fighting.

In the words of the envoys, it is possible to enter and exit, but someone must guide it, which means that the road we are on is not an entrance in the true sense, and the real entrance may be a hidden passage hidden somewhere.

The fat man saw that I hadn't moved for a long time, so he rushed over: "Hey... Lao Zou, why are you stunned, the explosives are installed and they will start drying. ”

I shook my head and told the fat man everything I knew, and Emma didn't know when she appeared behind the fat man: "If that's the case, let's look around here first, maybe we'll find some clues." ”

I nodded and expressed my approval, except for Tong Qin to take care of Li Mei and Da Chun to take care of the camels, the rest of the people were rummaging around on the walls on the ground, hoping to find a clue, and the result was obvious, the black wall, the yellow sand grains, if there was really something, it was also obvious. Everyone rummaged for a long time and found nothing, Li Guohua began to be a little anxious: "We can't give up here halfway, we can't blow up, we can't find a secret channel, is it possible that we really end here, it's really not good, let's go over the mountain." ”

This approach is no different from looking for death, the mountains in the desert are generally white, generally black, and those with a little common sense know that at this time it is already three poles on the sun, and it is not hot to die when climbing this black mountain, and there is half a section of limestone behind, just this little bit of water in our body, it has not been dried by the sun, and it has to be sucked clean by the lime.

Suddenly, the fat man seemed to have discovered something: "Hey... Lao Zou, come and see, what kind of thing is this. ”

I looked along the fat man's point, there were some horizontal fine lines in the joints of the huge glass wall and the black mountain, which I couldn't see if I didn't look closely, these strange lines were on both walls, and they didn't extend long, and they were messily more than two meters high from under the sand all the way up.
