Chapter 12: The Ghost Domain
The head seemed to feel the fear in our hearts, smiled even more, and slowly moved towards us, only ten meters away, Leng Feng pulled the trigger again, bang! The bullet flew directly into the left eye of the skull, but this time the skull only paused and did not roll backwards. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"What a lot of strength!" Leng Feng exclaimed.
The head still had a strange smile on its face, and from time to time it let out a laugh similar to that of an owl, and little by little it moved towards us, and when we got closer, we realized that something seemed to be wriggling in its dark eye sockets, like maggots.
"Da ......" A fierce gunshot rang out, and the people who were about to crash into the steel spikes around the altar were frightened by this series of gunshots and stopped retreating.
I saw that several small holes appeared on the skull in an instant, and red and white blood splattered out, and after a while, it turned into a hornet's nest, and then turned into popcorn, and was beaten to pieces.
Behind him came the angry roar of the fat man: "Laugh at your grandma!" Disturb Lao Tzu's good dreams! it! ”
I don't know when the fat man woke up, he was changing the magazine, and a whole shuttle of bullets was given to this ghost head.
The skull was beaten to shreds before revealing what was inside, and everyone cautiously stepped forward to take a look, only to find that it was not the head that would move, but something hidden in the head.
It was an eight-legged spider about the size of a head, its belly had been opened by the fat man, and a stream of pitch-black liquid flowed out, and its claws were still flicking reflexively.
The mystery of the mysterious disappearance of the head was also solved, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the fat man finally crawled back from the ghost gate, and slept for a while, and found that his spirit was much better than before, and I also let go of the heaviest boulder in my heart.
"How do we get out? Do you want to go back the way you came? Leng Feng suddenly asked.
As soon as everyone heard this, their interest was immediately swept away, and they all looked at me and Professor Hu with sad faces, Professor Hu took a deep breath, as if recalling something terrible, and said, "Go back the same way!" Although it may not be possible to get out, it seems that there is only one way to go. ”
I looked around for a moment, and my eyes fell on the eight-legged spider lying on the ground, and a thought quickly flashed, where did this head come from? In short, it could not have been entered through the stone gate, because we had not opened the stone gate at that time.
I told everyone what I thought, and the crowd immediately began to disperse, carefully searching every corner of the stone chamber.
The walls of the entire stone chamber are hard milky white rock masses, which have been artificially polished to a smooth surface, and are carved with various patterns of birds and beasts, the largest of which is a picture of many creatures walking towards the altar to worship.
At the top of the altar was a graceful woman sitting on a recumbent python, holding a glowing crystal, looking up at the sky, and directly above her head was a blood-red eye that seemed to establish an inexplicable connection between her and the moon in the sky.
It seems that the people here, or rather, all sorts of strange creatures, seem to worship the moon, and they believe that they can penetrate the passage to the moon with one eye.
"There's a hole here!" Dr. Guo's shout suddenly resounded throughout the stone chamber.
Everyone gathered around, only to see that there was a particularly thick iron pipe sticking out of the southeast corner of the stone chamber, with a diameter of about one meter, and there was no gap between the iron pipe and the rock wall, and the rock wall did not show any signs of damage.
Lao Huang was amazed and said, "The wisdom of the ancients! Such a thick iron pipe was inserted into the rock wall and tightly sealed, what kind of technology is this? ”
"Alas! If I had calmed down and found out here, some things wouldn't have happened. Professor Hu said sadly.
"You old men who are grinding and chirping, can you go or not?" The fat man muttered and slipped headlong into the iron pipe.
Everyone also followed in, Professor Hu reluctantly looked around, and also got into it, the pipe is not narrow, just enough to move forward.
I don't know how far I walked, and suddenly I heard the sound of clanging not far ahead, which became clearer and clearer, and I walked for more than ten minutes, and the jingling sound was mixed with other sounds.
Listen carefully, the voice is coming from under the pipe, and there is a fat man's cursing voice in front of him: "When is this fucking place?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, something seemed to hear the fat man's curse under the iron pipe, and immediately there was a wailing sound, which was heartbreaking, as if many people were suffering endlessly.
Bang Bang! The whole iron pipe trembled, something was violently hitting the pipe wall, and Kurban shouted: "There must be hell down there!" ”
As soon as he said this, everyone moved forward faster, and slowly, the pipeline began to become an evil upward trend, about more than an hour of climbing, it seemed that there was a breeze blowing, everyone was already tired and sweating, especially the fat man, in this not spacious pipe, climbed up for so long, and was already tired.
"Since it's windy, it should not be far from the exit, everyone hold on!" I shouted.
Sure enough, after climbing for nearly two hours, a glimmer of sky light appeared in the direction of a few hundred meters ahead, and only then did everyone get rid of their depression and fear, exert all their strength, and crawl forward.
The moment I stepped out of the cave, I was stunned by the crumbling earthen walls and houses, and the pavilions of several storeys, and more of the tall buildings in the shape of round towers, a huge ancient city, with neat streets, and from time to time a breeze blew, rolling up a puff of dust, adding to the desolation.
"This is, Loulan Ancient City?" Li Aiguo asked in shock.
Professor Hu lifted his glasses, thought for a long time, slowly shook his head, and said, "No! ”
If Professor Hu said so, then this place must not be the ancient city of Loulan, because he is an authority in this area, a well-known professor of archaeology, although it is only one of his identities.
"Will there be anyone in this city?" Li Aiguo continued to ask.
The fat man said without annoyance: "You old guys, you are always chirping here, don't you know if you go and see?" So saying, he strode toward the city.
Everyone had to walk together to the city with apprehension, and the fat man said as he went, "It would be great if there were people to live, so that they could eat and drink enough and sleep beautifully." ”
Professor Hu smiled faintly and replied, "I'm afraid that it's not people who live there." ”
As soon as he said this, everyone's brisk steps immediately became heavy, especially Yao Xiwen, whose little face turned pale with fright, and followed me closely.
Chirping! Syllable! The wooden door that had just been pushed open fell to the ground, and the wood was rotten by the age, and everyone entered the pavilion that looked like an inn.
This was the tenth house we had entered, and there were a dozen tables with pots and pots, and wine jugs, covered with a thick layer of dust, and bones in the large clay pot in the middle of the table, every table.
"Why is this a dead city?" Li Aiguo asked disappointedly.
Professor Hu nodded and said, "It should have been a long time since anyone lived there. ”
"You see, the tableware on this table is neatly arranged, and there are animal bones in the clay pots, and the ordinary restaurant guests will clean them up immediately after eating, which should be something that happened when people were eating." Professor Hu said, pointing to the plate on the table.
"But what's going on? So that the whole city abandoned the city and fled? Li Aiguo asked suspiciously.
Professor Hu thought for a moment and continued: "This is not an ordinary abandoned city! How could you not even have time to bring valuable money and belongings? As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of gold and silver artifacts from a drawer on the counter.
The fat man's eyes let out a greedy essence, and he rushed to the counter, because of his weight of more than 200 catties, he crushed the rotten counter to pieces, and the fat man also fell heavily to the ground, crying out in pain.
Suddenly, there was a bang outside the door, and something was slammed down, and I looked back, and in the night, a dark shadow ran towards the city at an astonishing speed.
By the time we ran out of the door, the shadow was gone, and suddenly, Kurban beside him let out a scream and sat down on the ground, crying bitterly.
"That's my son! I know his back! Kurban said as he wept bitterly.
Kurban was surprised every time, everyone was startled by him, and the fat man said angrily: "Old man! How long has your son been dead? Don't talk nonsense! ”
