Chapter 124: The Ancient City
Before leaving, Lin Zi took out the compass again, but this time, the compass disappointed us, because no matter which direction we were facing, the pointer was motionless, and the two compasses, all of them.
Lin Zi was angry, and threw the compass on the ground, "Damn, it seems that it has been broken for a long time, we were careless, and we shouldn't have relied on it to indicate the direction before." ”
Actually, I didn't think so, I said to Lin Zi: "That's not necessarily, you see we rest all night, although we rely on the compass, but we still look at the sun forward, the compass does not deceive us, the sun does not deceive us, who deceives us?" It can only be this oasis, do you look at the whole of the hot springs, does it look like a volcanic crater? I'm sure there must be an extinct volcano buried underneath, the magnetic field here must be different from the outside world, let's not scare ourselves, if this place bustard really came, according to the bustard's style, the bustard must have transformed this place into his own camp, they are all resting by the lake or oasis along the way, this oasis is so big, it is impossible for them not to choose this place, go, since the little uncle is waiting for us in the ancient city, then there must be his reason, you look at this male corpse, I always feel that this is an ominous place, I'm afraid something will happen if I've been here for a long time. ”
Lin Zi was also frightened by my speculation, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, but when I look at this oasis again, I feel that there is a strange atmosphere everywhere here.
We walked down the dunes to the foot of the ancient city.
I was even more shocked when I came here, because its architecture and design are really comparable to the ancient city, the tall and sturdy city walls firmly enclose the houses inside, and the sand on the city walls proves that the existence of this ancient city is definitely not short.
The footprints are still extending here, but the footprints here have obviously increased a lot, and it seems that there are not a few wanderers who have entered this ancient city, the city gate is wide open, and the whirring cold wind comes from the city, revealing a mystery.
The city gate is not oval, but a square square, and there is a stone statue on both sides of the gate, the stone statue has long been in its glory, and only two bases are still telling us the sadness of the past.
I led my camel and walked in, and found that the inside and outside of the city were completely different, all the outside of the city was sand, and the inside of the city was all paved with sand and stones, and the sand and stones were smooth, and there was no sign of desertification at all, as if the city had just been completed.
On the clean flat ground, I found a plastic bag, this plastic bag is a package of compressed food, and there is a puddle of water stains next to the bag, it seems that someone once rested here.
Could it be a little uncle? I shouted, "Uncle...... Brother-in-law......"
The long voice floated into the distance, no one answered, I had to shout again, Lin Zi covered my mouth, his eyes were firmly fixed on the ancient city, and said to me: "Don't shout, there is no one here." ”
"How do you know?"
"If it's your uncle, he will definitely leave a mark or a hint, you see that there is nothing inside and outside the city wall, it means that your uncle has not been here, it seems that we will be wrong, that sentence is not reserved for us at all, I guess we can't stay here, we have to get out quickly." With that, the little uncle snatched the reins from my hand and immediately walked out of the city.
At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from inside the ancient city, "I'm here, come in...... Come on in...... In...... Come on......" The hollow and strange echo kept echoing in the ancient city, and Lin Zi also heard the sound of this answer, and he stopped to distinguish it carefully......
"I'm here, come in, ...... Come ......," the little uncle's voice rang out at an inopportune time.
This time, the voice was still a little hurried, and I listened carefully, it was in the middle of the city.
"Lin Zi, don't go, let's go in and have a look......" I begged.
Lin Zi didn't want to give up, and I saw him hesitate.
"No one will come out then." I took the opportunity to say firmly.
This time, Lin Zi no longer hesitated, and he led the camel and walked back.
We searched for the sound, and soon came to the middle of the city, and at this moment, the lights suddenly turned on in the houses by the roadside, and from these houses came out many dark shadows one after another, and in a short time, the street was covered with dense black shadows.
I knew that the light alone could not shine that far, and I couldn't help but be depressed when I thought about it, how could I see so clearly that there was no sun or moon in the sky?
Our presence didn't bother them in any way, they passed through my body and walked straight into the distance, which made me feel like I was in the middle of a busy city and empty.
Damn, these people seem to be rushing to the market.
The camel led by the forest did not see any unusual behavior, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
I pushed open the door of a house, and found that the tables, chairs, benches and other furniture were neatly arranged, and the kitchen supplies such as pots and pans were also in order.
Faced with so many indescribable things, my heart was terrified.
"Youcai, is this a yin person?" While observing the situation in the house, Lin Zi couldn't help but ask me.
"Probably not." I replied, "If you look closely, are we in a mirage?" ”
Is it a reproduction of everyday life? Or is it really a mirage? Lin Zi walked over and tried to touch the shadow, but his hand passed through the shadow without hindrance, if this shadow was facing a person, then what were these people doing?
The color of the houses is all blue-gray, everything is still the same as it was thousands of years ago, in the strength of the road, I saw a stone stele, the stone tablet was engraved with several ancient characters, next to the text, there are two modern simplified characters, Bahe.
The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, neat and natural, obviously not carved in a hurry, next to the stele, there is a private house, the door of the private house was thrown a pile of garbage, I pushed open the heavy wooden door, and saw a room of food and water.
In the middle of the room was a tape recorder with a loudspeaker that sounded "I'm here...... Come on in...... Come on in" hollow and terrifying voice.
