Chapter Twenty-Four: The Paradise
"Take him to the tribe. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Mayisha can't bear it.
"No way!" Ah Shen immediately stopped, "This person is sinister, what if he brought in the group of people just now?" ”
"What Ah Shen said makes sense, but we can't just listen to him in this labyrinth." Yu Yue's heart palpitated, "That group of people must have entered the labyrinth, if they find here......"
"What Yu Yue said makes sense. In this way, it is not so easy to enter our tribe, although you have saved us, you still have to abide by our rules. "The high priest solemnly," blindfolded. ”
"Old man, we all already know how you move this labyrinth, do you want to come with us for this set?"
"You know?"
Ah Shen pursed his lips to show impatience, and leaned into the high priest's ear and muttered a few words.
The high priest twitched his nose, took a deep breath, and finally calmed down, and said, "Well, blindfold Batur, and let everyone go together." ”
"Who the hell are you? What were you doing there just now? Ah Shen really didn't like the scene where everyone didn't speak, and asked. Maisha and the High Priest were immersed in the grief of the massacre. Joy is tired, and the poker face doesn't talk much.
"Mayisa, you are the princess of the Huhu clan. Is that right? Batur's sudden words were heard by everyone.
"Fox Beard? What kind of clan is the Huhu tribe, why haven't I heard of it? Ah Shen scratched his ears and cheeks.
"The Huhu tribe, more than 3,000 years ago, was a small country in one of the 36 countries of the Western Regions, which made a living from agriculture, and was later destroyed by the Cheshi country. -- This is the only record of the Huhu tribe in the history books. ”
Mayisha looked at the high priest, and the high priest's face did not change, "Let's go, after this massacre, there are not many people left in our clan." This is probably our retribution. ”
"Old man, you have been talking about retribution since just now, and it is not you who killed your people, where is the retribution, there must be retribution, and it is also retribution on the group of people outside." Ah Shen patted the high priest on the shoulder vigorously, "Old man, with us, relax." ”
The High Priest smiled peacefully, "Your name is Ah Shen?" He looked at Shen with loving eyes for a long time.
"Old man, I know I'm a likable person, don't look at me like that, I'll be embarrassed." After speaking, a slap fell on Batur's head, "Let you talk nonsense to upset the old man." After saying that, he vigorously gagged Batur's mouth.
"Old man, how long will it take for us to arrive?" Ah Shen asked obediently, "I haven't eaten in days." ”
"It's coming, it's coming soon......"
"Look, the murals here, we saw them when we came in just now."
"Old man, are these murals depicting your history?"
"Yes, to guide our people. And to keep ourselves awake at all times. The High Priest smiled meaningfully, "You can find these frescoes, it seems that they are really guided. ”
"No, old man, don't you know, I just went down your culvert just to take a look. And then I saw here, and if I hadn't been guided, I would have been dreaming. Ah Shen began to recount their bumpy experiences along the way.
Ah Shen's addition of oil and vinegar made Mayisha and the high priest listen to it with relish. This lecture has been talked about for a long time. Until Yu Yue found that the poker face was gone, she couldn't bear to interrupt them, so she went back to find it herself. Pokerface stood far away in the passage they walked, staring at the mural in front of them, like a statue, motionless.
"Poker Face, why aren't you leaving?" Yu Yue approached before asking. Poker Face still didn't react, and Yu Yue followed Poker Face's gaze.
"This mural is about ......"
"Princess Loulan slaughtered their people and buried them in the Sun Tomb."
"Why?" Yu Yue suddenly realized, "Ah Shen once went to the Sun Tomb to inspect the remains of Princess Loulan, so to speak...... That body is fake? ”
"It's not necessarily fake, at that time, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions called the daughters of the Loulan clan nobles 'Princess Loulan', but judging from this mural, the Princess Loulan buried in the Sun Tomb is not the real Loulan ruler...... Perhaps, or maybe it's just a civilian."
"Why, the Loulan people slaughtered their own people? So where did these survivors go? Yu Yue muttered, there was an idea, bold and novel, lingering in her heart, confused, she could never see clearly.
"Yu Yue, what are you doing? Keep up. Mayisha waved at Yu Yue in the distance, interrupting Yu Yue's thoughts.
"Let's go." With that, he jumped up the wall and turned off the lights.
In the dark, Yu Yue and Poker Face walked side by side, Poker Face's breathing was short and short, and he walked very lightly. This made Yu Yue a little concerned, "Are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine." Poker Face replied softly. Walking down, Yu Yue obviously noticed that the poker face deliberately lifted his spirit and increased his pace.
Yu Yue and Poker Face walked forward slowly, at the junction of light and dark, "It turns out that you are as tall as Ah Shen, but you are much thinner than Ah Shen." I don't know why, Yu Yue said this, and her heart was very uncomfortable, "Poker face, I always feel that you are very familiar, have we met before?" ”
Poker Face lowered his head and cast his gaze on the ground, "I don't think so." ”
"yes, how could I have seen such a good-looking person as you and not be impressed at all. Ha ha. Yu Yue smiled heartily, "Hey, why is there no mural here?" ”
"Because, beyond that, is the center of the labyrinth."
"Labyrinth Center, Exit ......"
"It's also the entrance to the tribe." Ah Shen watched as Mayisha stood not far away and waved at her. It turns out that they have already arrived, which is why they can't wait to go and meet.
"Let's hurry up too."
"Wait...... The ...... on this wall "Poker Face found a huge nine-tailed fox painted on the wall, and the fox's mouth seemed to be holding something, and he wanted to get closer, but the closer he got closer, the more he couldn't see clearly.
"Poker face? Can we go? Yu Yue urged.
PokerFace finally gave up and extinguished the last light.
The shining torches flickered not far away, and the faces reflected were extremely serious. "Whether you have been instructed or not, I have violated the rules of our clan by bringing you here. Now, I want to bring you into our territory, and I ask you to close your eyes. ”
Almost in the blink of an eye, when Yu Yue and Ah Shen opened their eyes, there was no longer a dark labyrinth in front of them, but a vast oasis, with farmhouses scattered one after another. The farmland cottage looks like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Are we still in the desert?" Yu Yue couldn't believe it.
"We're just under the desert. As long as there is sunlight, water and air, vegetation can grow. The high priest explained.
"How can there be sunlight underground?" Yu Yue was always puzzled. But in the face of this large oasis, she has to say that there must be something mysterious in it.
"Someone, welcome the guests in." The high priest said.
After speaking, someone stepped forward and took Yu Yue and Ashen and his party into a wooden hut in the distance. "You sit down first, and I'll be here soon." With that, the High Priest and Maisha disappeared into the doorway.
"Did you find it, just now, all the houses along the way are wooden structures, and you see, this house, without a single nail, the joints are all mortise and tenon structures, but they are extremely strong."
"What is a mortise and tenon structure?" Ah Shen asked hurriedly.
"The mortise and tenon structure, like this, is a way of connecting the wood so that the wood can be spliced together. Our ancestors invented this structure more than 7,000 years ago, but with the development of the construction industry, almost no one will use this structure now. It must be said that the country that is most used now is Japan. I still remember that during the Wenchuan earthquake, there was a very famous architect in Japan who built a wooden primary school for the children in the disaster area, and all the connections were made of this structure. ”
"In this way, they are really capable, not only to build such an unprecedented underground city, but also to carry forward the traditional creation of China. Is it possible for us to use this structure to apply for World Cultural Heritage? ”
Yu Yue smiled bitterly. "You told me all this." After speaking, he could only shake his head.
After waiting for a long time, the high priest and Maisha did not come, but brought food first.
"You really have the eyesight to see that these people in front of you are dying of hunger, and you are finally relying on the last bit of thought. Your meal was so delicious and saved us, thank you. Ah Shen rushed in to deliver the food The girls squeezed their eyebrows, Yu Yue saw it in her eyes, she felt very uncomfortable, and immediately hung her face, "Please go out first." ”
"Hey, don't go." Ah Shen stopped one of them, "I'm just talking about you." Come and sit with us for a while. ”
"Ah Shen!" Yu Yue frowned, very displeased, but she couldn't attack.
"Shh Ah Shen smiled at Yu Yue lightly, and turned to the girl who had just sat opposite, "Mayisha is your princess?" ”
The girl's face was red, and she replied shyly, but her mouth was a language she didn't understand at all, and Ah Shen was completely stunned, and waved her hand to let her out.
Yu Yue leaned back with a smile, "Let you hook up everywhere." Yu Yue used a joke to express her dissatisfaction.
"I'm a very decent person, such a young girl, when I was a daughter." Ah Shen sat reclining, cocking Erlang's legs, looking unruly.
"When you're a daughter, then when I'm what? We are the same age, are you saying that I am old in disguise? Yu Yue stared at him and did not give in.
"How do you say that old Chinese saying?" Ah Shen used chopsticks to dot in the air, "Oh, only women and villains are difficult to raise." And so it was. ”
"Who do you say is difficult to raise?" Yu Yueqiang held back a smile and stood up, with a posture that Ah Shen would not give up without explaining.
"Of course, it's hard to raise a villain." Ah Shen said skillfully, "Hey, where is that villain?" ”
