As soon as I saw this, my eyes lit up, and I patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "Oh, Comrade Hanlin, you have made a great contribution, we will give it to you when we go back... No... Boss Li should give you a certificate of merit and a pennant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The fat man was smug, and Emma said thoughtlessly: "Don't be complacent there, what do you find in these bars?" ”

I waved my hand and signaled them not to worry, and then asked them to dig up the yellow sand under the glass with a sapper shovel first, and the rest would be settled. Hearing my words, Li Guohua immediately perked up, hurriedly beckoned the second child to get a shovel, and took the lead in digging sand.

The layer of sand buried under the glass is not too thick, because the terrain itself is not low, if I guess correctly, the place where we are now should have been a mountain top thousands of years ago, and the pagodas, castles and the like in it were also on the top of the mountain, and the location of this illusory ancient city was originally a large depression surrounded by mountains, like a volcanic crater. It's just that I didn't go in, and it's not good to jump to conclusions too soon.

Several people worked hard together, digging in this not too deep place for half an hour, and finally dug the head, under the sand is a black rock formation, as smooth as the floor we lay at home, and on closer inspection, there are some small longitudinal lines at the junction with the glass wall. Once again, it confirmed my judgment, both horizontal and vertical, at a right angle, there are some horizontal and vertical strips, which have been recorded in the ancient seal, which is an ancient secret script.

This kind of cipher text is divided into two types of arrangement, horizontal and vertical, and is arranged in a special way, mainly for coordinate marking. Carved in the stone, it looks like a tiny crack in the stone, if you don't look closely, it's hard to find, even if you do, if you don't understand the rules of its arrangement, it's useless, so the predecessors will call this an illusory ancient city that you can't see and touch.

This kind of cipher code is thousands of years earlier than the current Morse code, the ancient seal record seems to be called "spirit pattern", Lingtong zero, Xiaowan King City is called Zero City, the meaning of the spirit pattern also alludes to its origin, in Zero City, another layer of meaning is also the meaning of the superstition of ancient people, the spirit can also be called spirituality, if it is not destined for people, it is impossible to recognize this spiritual ciphertext.

While trying to remember, I searched for patterns in the chaotic spiritual patterns, trying to find the key and passage to enter the illusory ancient city. This kind of short ciphertext looks really eye-catching, staring directly at these provisions, eyes are staring at tears, more than an hour of searching, finally found the meaning in these spirit patterns, found a pen from the bag, and marked it on the glass wall.

There are a total of thirteen points, connected together is a "swastika" word, when the last stroke is connected, Da Chun knelt on the ground with a plop, and his mouth kept reading: "Amitabha, Amitabha, this is really the holy land of the Buddha." ”

Listening to him say this, this "swastika" character is indeed easy to remind people of the Buddha, even an atheist like me can't help but feel a little abrupt in his heart, could it be that there is really a Buddha in this world, and he has built a city-state in this deserted ghost place? Although this rune is weird, the next more important question is not the relationship with the Buddha, but what does this "swastika" character have to do with our entry into the castle?

The fat man said, "Could this be a keyhole?" Have a key to open? ”

Obviously, the fat man guessed wrong, although I found the coordinates, but there was no keyhole on the coordinates, so this is not valid at all, so we are now facing the ancient city inside, it is really visible, not touched, and it is in a stalemate.

At this moment, everyone fell into silence, Li Guohua was even more depressed in his heart, and with a sapper shovel in his hand, he smashed the heavy glass wall a few times, and even the glass slag did not fall off, and its hardness was really staggering. The second child saw that the boss was going crazy, so he hurriedly dragged him back, for fear that he would not be able to think about it and hit the wall and die.

Li Guohua, who was pulled back by us, was full of depression, had nowhere to vent, raised the sapper shovel in his hand and threw it out, which happened to hit the glass wall, and bounced back and almost landed on the fat man's head, and the fat man scolded: "Hey... If you can't figure it out, wipe your neck as soon as possible, fat man, I still want to live for two more years. ”

The fat man still wanted to complain, but I stretched out my hand to stop him: "Don't say it, Boss Li is depressed, and I can't figure it out all of a sudden, besides, even if I hit you, I won't be able to bleed, just pump some fat and lose weight." I looked up at the glass wall again, and there was a palm-sized dim spot where the sapper had struck me, much brighter than the surrounding transparency. There is a point that I marked before it was official, and the position is exactly the first one from the left at the top.

I let go of the hand that grabbed Li Guohua and told him not to get excited, there was a new discovery. When I walked in, there was a circular cavity in the place, and I took a sapper shovel in my hand to find a point that I marked and knocked on it, but there was no response, and I thought it was a lack of strength, but the strength to eat milk was used, but there was still no response. Several other points were tapped in turn, and only one of the same circular depression holes appeared.

It is estimated that this is in order, and then tapped, from all sides to the middle, each time there will be a circular depression appear, until the last one, after knocking down, there was a loud rumbling sound, everyone saw this and quickly retreated, and took out weapons in their hands, after all, this kind of ancient city that has lasted for thousands of years, is so tightly closed, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any danger inside.

Retreated to a relatively safe place, and then looked at the glass wall, thirteen dots connected into a golden light "swastika" symbol, inadvertently glanced back at Da Chun, his jaw was about to fall to the ground, after a glance, holding the Buddha beads in his hand kept turning, and his mouth kept chanting Amitabha, I guess he should repent for his dishonesty and worship Buddha at this time.

After the golden light, the glass wall was disconnected from the middle of the "swastika" symbol, and the lower half slowly moved to the left and right, and in a moment, a square glass door appeared in front of our eyes, and behind the glass door was the place we were going to - Zero City.

Li Guohua couldn't wait to get ready to go inside, I was afraid that there would be danger inside, so let him wait for a while, it has been sealed for thousands of years, who knows if there will be any ghost organs or something, first think of a way to test it, and knocked a stone on the mountain casually, the mountain is too hard, and only knocks down a palm-sized stone, tied to a rope, and throws it into the hole, if there is a mechanism, it should also be able to set off, tried back and forth a few times, nothing unusual happened, the fat man said that I was suspicious. I had no choice but to stop and lead the people on the way into the city.

Unexpectedly, just about to set off, Da Chun retreated, his head shook like a rattle, and he refused to enter the city. Saying that this is a holy place of Buddhism, practitioners like him who have not shaved cannot enter, otherwise the Buddha will blame, the Buddha is not sincere, not to mention that a companion died before, this must be the Buddha's warning to him, if he goes one step further, he will definitely die a miserable death.

In desperation, we agreed to let him set up camp in the pass and take care of the camels and baggage. I wanted to leave a person here to watch him, this old man is really a little uneasy, if he runs away and leaves us here, there are no camels, we have to rely on our own two legs to get out, in this ghost desert, I am afraid that I will die a few times if I can't walk a few kilometers, and it is a dream to get out alive.

But after thinking about it, although this old man is slippery, he will not get along with the money, his big benefactor Li Guohua is still in it, if he goes back like this, he will not be busy in vain this trip, that little dried fruit money, how can it be enough to work hard in the desert these days, and the price Li Guohua paid is not low, enough for him to buy a house in Urumqi to support his family.

Seeing that he is so godly, I have to beat the side drum with him, which can be regarded as a test: "Old man, I know that you believe in Buddhism, your Tibetan Buddhism and our Central Plains Buddhism are in the same line, if you speak in your Tibetan Buddhism, what will the Buddha do to you." ”

Dachun said: "Amitabha, Buddha, is everywhere, if he speaks wildly, his ears will no longer be able to hear, his body will no longer be able to move, and after death, he will go down to the Abi hell to receive the most severe punishment, even if he is reincarnated, he will suffer from the broken top of Vajra." ”

I saw that he said it solemnly, and I was relieved that the most terrible thing in this world is not ghosts and gods, but people who have no faith, and if a person has faith, he will never joke with his faith.

There is one less Dachun, and there are only nine of us who have entered the city this time, the second child is carrying the unconscious Li Mei on his back, and the rest of the people have to bring some weapons and equipment, plus food and water bottles, and the weight will get up at once.

It has been several years since I left the army, and this is the first time that I have found the usefulness of my body outside the army.

After more than ten years of scout career, this little thing is still not a problem, and the fat man is also not red and out of breath, what surprises me is that the whole team is only Gu Tong, a nerd and a lesbian Tong Qin, who can't bear it, and even Emma is not changing her face and her heart is not beating.

Walk into the ancient city, there is no city wall inside, as I guessed before, surrounded by mountains on all sides, the area of the ancient city is very large, we walked for half an hour to walk to the ancient city, almost all around are in ruins, a dead silence, and when we look through the glass, the difference is very far, I can't help but be a little disappointed.
