The fat man's eyes looked around the courtyard, staring at the exotic style of ancient buildings, like jade railings, the ancient road under his feet is also made of a piece of transparent jade paving, the buildings in the courtyard are all white, the walls are carved with bright flower bones, the windows are closed, carved with hollow patterns, but you can't see the layout of the house, the door is on the wall to draw a door-shaped outline, in fact, it looks like a glimpse of the wall, the surroundings are quiet, It seems that there are no other living people in the entire courtyard except for him and Zhu Beichen.

The courtyard is dusty, except for an ancient tree and the people under the tree, there is a shaft in the courtyard of about 100 square meters, and a wordless jade tablet is erected in front of the well. Everything in the courtyard is neat, and the whole space looks quiet and solemn, with a warm breeze blowing at a slow speed, which is soft and comfortable.

The fat man was like a visitor from a foreign country who had never seen the world, curiously looking at everything in the small courtyard, and after a while, he noticed the tree beside Zhu Beichen, the jade material flowing in brilliance, and it was difficult not to be noticed.

"I'll go, the tree next to you is fake, green and natural, is it jade?" I have to say that the fat man's treasure appreciation ability is really not blown, and the material of the tree can be distinguished just by passing it at a glance. In an instant, he took three steps and two steps to the jade tree, looked at the ancient jade tree with familiar greedy eyes, carefully stretched out his salty pig hand to touch the branches, and raised his head to touch the leaves at the top.

"Oily and shiny, emerald green and shiny, rich and pure, bright and sunny in color, evenly distributed, full of water. Beichen, you don't have to be a poor student when you go out now, this is a top jade. "A whole tree is carved with a whole piece of jadeite, the size and color of jadeite are all treasures that the outside world can not find, coupled with its own extremely high artistic value, to the world's top auction house, think of the antiques with a variety of inspection equipment to identify the jade tree rigorous strength, and then see their surprised eyes, the fat man has an indescribable joy, I am afraid that no jade connoisseur can accurately give the price of the jade tree, the unified wording is probably that: rare treasures, priceless treasures.

Ha ha! The fat man touched the corner of the jade tree's mouth and grinned at an extremely exaggerated angle, and the soreness and exhaustion in his body were also offset by the excitement of this moment, and he didn't even care about Zhu Beichen, and even the search for ancient books was left behind. The rare treasures he has seen in his life can be counted innumerable, but when he saw this jade tree for the first time, the so-called treasures before can be counted as a pile of garbage, where is there a little cultural relics and artistic value, just the carving process of this jade tree, can carve the whole piece of jade into such a beautiful ancient tree, I am afraid that many craftsmen can not do it in their lifetime.

The only thing that made him strange was that this was just an ordinary courtyard, and there were such precious objects on display, could it be that there were more shocking antiquities in the world outside the courtyard?

When he was puzzled, the third voice suddenly surprised the two people in the courtyard in vain: "It's just a foreign object, you really value it so much?" Besides, where can you take it? ”

If it weren't for this sound prompt, the fat man would have really forgotten his current situation, the roots of the jade tree are entangled on the ground of the courtyard, but there is no trace of soil on the ground, and this jade pimple is inlaid on the jade floor.

When he heard the direction of the voice, when he saw the person coming, Zhu Beichen was surprised: "It's you?" ”

Isn't there only seven people standing at the door of the house, it is rare to see a familiar person in such a strange and desolate courtyard, and the fat man also lost his mind and said: "Oh, Brother Seven, it's so good to see you again, I thought we would never have the chance to meet again in this life." ”

The fat man's words were so sour that Zhu Beichen's appetite plummeted when he heard it, and he didn't know how true he was at this moment.

Zhu Beichen strode forward to Qijian's side, stopped the other party and patted him on the shoulder to express his joy to see him, "It's good to see you, we didn't know what happened to come here, and when we woke up, we saw the fat man." By the way, what about the others? ”

Qijian still smiled angrily, patted Zhu Beichen with one hand, and as always, he looked like a big brother took care of his younger brother: "I don't know, I woke up half an hour earlier than you, and I was also in this courtyard, seeing that you hadn't woken up yet, I walked around." ”

The two were slightly separated, a foot apart, Zhu Beichen glanced down and noticed that the cyan veins on the left arm of the seven rooms were protruding, and the highly poisonous blood was slowly flowing in the veins, and it was expected that the day of his poison would definitely not be far away, since the current location may be in the ancient city buried in the sand, as long as the ancient book is found, all the problems will be solved.

The reason why Shichima thinks that the fat man can't take away the jade tree is because he has already explored the situation in the yard after he woke up, especially this conspicuous jade tree, and he doesn't know what method the owner of the courtyard used. What puzzled Shichima even more was that close to the bark of the tree, you could clearly see the liquid-like substance flowing at a low speed inside the emerald tree, and the surface of the leaves seemed to be still photosynthesizing, constantly releasing fresh oxygen for breathing.

"If you don't believe me, try to see if you can pull this tree uprooted?"

The fat man looked unbelieving, holding the trunk of the tree with both hands and desperately lifting it up, tossing for a while so tired that people turned on their backs before giving up, "Forget it, don't force it all the time in life." ”

Zhu Beichen said: "It's a pity that you forced it, but you couldn't come if you forced it." ”

Now there are three people gathered in this courtyard, but it seems that there is no shadow of anyone else except the three of them, and the seven rooms just now seem to have come out of the house, but the room behind him has no door, and the only thing that can be called a door is probably the outline carved into the shape of a door.

"We should be in the ancient city now, right?" It's really amazing, Zhu Beichen couldn't imagine how they came here, subconsciously felt that they were asleep, or even their souls were separated from the body and died, the concept of time became more and more erratic in his mind, as if he had gone through endless years, passed through a cloud of soft objects, and finally knew nothing.

"According to the description of the ancient city from the sources I have seen, we are indeed in the sandy ancient city now, but don't ask me how I got in. Your experience is the same as mine, except that I wake up half an hour earlier and can't answer your questions. As for July, I think they must have been in a room in the ancient city. Recalling the sporadic descriptions of the architectural patterns of the ancient city at hand, Shichiken shuddered, this kind of place actually existed, and he came here in his lifetime.

What is the description of the ancient city? Zhu Beichen nodded and responded perfunctorily to Qijian, it seems that they are all purposefully exploring, it is really ridiculous, the only person who does not understand the origin of the ancient city, and I am afraid that the only person who knows nothing is himself. Even, the seven rooms are not to be trusted.

"How does the information about the ancient city describe this city?" The fat man asked.

"Just a few words, a city that has been dead for many years." Shichima's tone was very light.

The city that has been dead for many years, at first glance, it sounds like there is no problem, but after careful scrutiny, I feel that the words are used very far-fetched and weird. The city is an inanimate existence, but Shichima says that it is a city that has been dead for many years. can't help but sound a little chilling, coupled with the desolate ancient color of the courtyard, Zhu Beichen immediately had goosebumps.

The fat man's excitement shifted away again, and he walked towards the ancient well, stretched out his head and looked at the bottom of the dark and bottomless well, there was not a drop of water along the edge of the ancient well, it seemed to have dried up for many years, and the wordless tablet really made people confused.

"It's a dry well, I've looked at all the ornaments in the yard, there are no clues, and this yard seems to be completely closed, I didn't find the door when I went around, so I went into the house to see." Nanama's gaze followed the fat man's gaze and said.

This ancient city space is shrouded in a layer of white light, and only the sparse clouds in the sky can be distinguished by the dazzling light, and the prosperity does not belong here, and the atmosphere of the whole courtyard is like a small retreat forgotten outside the world.

Zhu Beichen said: "How did you get into that room, we didn't see the door?" ”

Shichima pointed to the door-shaped outline, the conceptual definition of the door in the building here is clearly different from the door they know in common sense, a silhouette is the door for the building here, it seems to be a wall, but when people shuttle through the outline, it is unhindered.

Shichiken said: "That's the door, I thought it was incredible at first, you try it, just like I can walk through the other side of this wall." ”

As he spoke, he demonstrated it, only to see him walking close to the door-like wall of the wooden house, and the two people watching behind him were holding their breath and pinching a cold sweat for him, and when Shichiken approached the "door", the miracle appeared without warning, and they rubbed their eyes with questioning eyes. Indeed, the whole person of the seven rooms gradually disappeared into the door with the pace, and it was not until the whole person was swallowed by the door that they came to their senses.

"Ah, Beichen, have you seen clearly, the wall-piercing technique. He went in like this? "I almost wondered if I was faint from hunger, or if the seven rooms were originally a holographic projection, and the legendary wall-piercing technique really existed.

"I have long eyes, we don't see dazzling eyes, you wait for me to try it."

Zhu Beichen also learned from the appearance of the seven rooms, calmly took a step, and approached the outline "door" step by step with a worried heart, and when he finally approached the door, one hand turned out to be unobstructed, followed by the thigh, and then the whole body, greeted by a strong light, and the world behind the door was blurred behind the white light.
