Chapter 100: The Ghost in the Attic I

Searching the obelisk towering into the sky, and beyond that is the city, who built such a magnificent structure and when?

In the hinterland of the Nalengle Gorge, where there is no grass, what does a city of this size rely on to survive?

Who is living in those starry windows?

Feng Qiyun squinted his eyes and said: "Looking at the footprints, she has entered the city, Old Man Ding is well-informed, do you know what kind of city should be here?" ”

Ding Shengwu shook his head and said: "It's the first time I've come in with you, and I've never heard of any other cities in this hairy land, but it is recorded in the history books that there was an ancient country called the Kingdom of Pigs on the west side of Kunshan, but no one has ever verified whether this country exists, and it is more of a legend." ”

ps: 豳 (bin) "But the Western Regions Pig Kingdom recorded in "The Biography of Mu Tianzi"? ”

In the Western Jin Dynasty in 281 A.D., the famous tomb robber Ji Jun people did not dig the tomb of King Wei Xiang, this tomb unearthed a large number of bamboo slips, after a group of scholars at that time, including Xun Xuan, Wei Heng, Shu Hui and others sorted out into the "Ji Tomb Book" seventy-five articles, and the "Mu Tianzi Biography" is the only one in the "Ji Tomb Book" that has been handed down to this day, the content of which is recorded is the so-called Zhou Tianzi Mu Wang Xixun saw, a bit like a travelogue, and a bit like a history book, and its content contains a lot of exaggerated and impossible existence that people seem to today, But there are also some of them that have been proven to be reliable.

The first five volumes of "The Biography of Mu Tianzi" record in detail that King Mu of Zhou got eight good horses, such as Chiji, Thief Li, Baiyi, Yulun, Shanzi, Quhuang, Hualiu, and Green Ear, and the emperor made the father, and the uncle was the guide, and carried out a westward expedition to Kunlun Mountain in the thirteenth to seventeenth years, crossed the Zhangshui, traveled 90,000 miles, and drove the Yin Mountain, the Mongolian Plateau, the Tarim Basin, the Green Mountains and other places.

And the most memorable and controversial thing in this book is the story of King Zhou Mu and the Queen Mother of the West.

And whether the legendary Mother Kingdom of the West, that is, the Kingdom of Pigs, as Ding Shengwu said, exists or not has been debated in the historiography for thousands of years.

Ding Shengwu said: "When I was a child, Luomen once made a major discovery, and found many bronzes more than 3,000 years ago in a village called Cayo in Qinghai, which are still sealed in the underground palace of Luomen, and it is said that they came from the country of Feng. If this city really lives with their descendants, then we can rewrite history. ”

Under the city wall, there is a gate covered with ashes, the mottled back door panel is now broken, the door is half-hidden, there is a person's fresh handprint on the thick ashes, ten fingers are slender, the fat man compared his own hand and said, "It should be Jiu'er." ”

Entering the gate, a wide road in the city wall stood on both sides of the symmetrical stone statues, the lower half of which were all human figures wrapped in a serpentine pattern, and the heads were all artificially cut off.

This almost primitive sense of time and space travel swirled in everyone's mind, and Cha Wenbin stared at the building that looked like a large hall not far away at the moment.

"What's wrong with you?"

The fat man asked.

"There should be no one in these houses."

He said softly: "If there are people, how can it be so messy here, could it be that these lights were lit one by one by Miss Jiu'er?" ”

Obviously, this is impossible, even if Jiu'er pedals on Hot Wheels at twice the speed of them, there are hundreds of rooms here, some of them are still two-story structures, at a glance, these houses made of stones are all flickering candles, and it is difficult to find even the fish that have slipped through the net.

Feng Qiyun pointed to the largest building in the middle and said, "Look at the middle one, on the steps on both sides, those braziers are three or four meters high. ”

"Go inside and take a look!"

Ding Shengwu was anxious, and as soon as he arrived at the threshold of the hall, Cha Wenbin and the others were still looking, so he followed the series of footprints inside.

Cha Wenbin wanted to remind him not to wait, but the old man was walking like flying, and he couldn't wait for a moment.

There are hundreds of steps on this step, and there are symmetrical balustrades in the shape of the sun and moon carved on both sides, needless to say, the snake is still wrapped around the balustrade pillars, and it seems that the snake was once the totem here.

He shuddered at the thought of those huge snake-turning fat men, and he looked at the hall and said, "Could this be a snake nest?" ”

Feng Qiyun said: "It's not impossible, I've always been curious about why the snake doesn't hibernate, and when I think of the temperature here, I suddenly understand." Outside, as we expected, there is an active volcano, and the snakes here are at room temperature all year round, and after slowly getting used to it, they gradually become warm-blooded, and you can see that the lines on these steps are carved according to the appearance of snake skin. ”

"I vaguely feel familiar here,"

Cha Wenbin closed his eyes and thought about it, but he couldn't think of it for a while, he always felt that he had seen this hall somewhere.

The square, the white balustrade, the serpentine pattern, and the half-hidden door, these scenes once seemed to have been with him.

"I remember! Fatso! ”

This call startled the fat man and said, "Cha Ye, don't scare me." ”

"I remember, that day on the other side of the river in Zhuangyuan Village, in that coffin, I followed you to find you after you lay in,"

Cha Wenbin took out the jade ring from his arms and said, "You gave me this when I went in again, and then I vaguely saw you walking into a big hall, and then you never came out again." This step, this railing, this gate, yes, this is it! ”

The fat man scratched his scalp and said, "Then why don't I know?" ”

Cha Wenbin jumped up first, and Feng Qiyun said to the fat man with a smile: "There are many things you don't know." ”

"Jiu'er! Jiu'er, where are you, Jiu'er! ”

Before he walked in, he heard Ding Shengwu's voice from afar, and Cha Wenbin followed him into the hall and asked, "Have you found anyone?" ”

Qin Wuyan looked down at the ground and said, "It's strange, the footprints disappeared when they reached this hall. ”

Cha Wenbin looked up, this is a hollow two-story hall, there is no staircase between the first and second floors, but there is a room, showing a "return"

The glyph structure, I don't know if the staircase at that time had been demolished.

There is a lampstand on each wall around the main hall, and a corridor near the lampstand leads to the surrounding area.

The lampstand was filled with grease, and the wick looked new, as if it had only been lit for a long time.

The group rushed in and lost their direction for a while.

Cha Wenbin said to the second floor above: "Will she go up, I see that there seem to be some traces on that pillar." ”

In the middle of the main hall, about the dividing line between the first and second floors, it is very strange that a huge pillar appears horizontally, about 30 meters long, and the two ends feel the same thick.

The fat man took out the rope and shook it twice in his hand and said, "This is simple, I'll go up and take a look." ”

After speaking, the rope in his hand was thrown to the side pillar and just hung back and forth, and the fat man pulled it hard, which was very strong.

"Damn, there's nothing to say about this wood."

The fat man used his hands and feet together, and soon with the help of the power of the rope he approached the pillar, and took the flashlight and shone it around, and sure enough, a row of shoe prints went in the direction of the left.

"Found it! She's really up! I'll go over there and take a look. ”

On the left is a row of room-like structures with windows open on the side, and warm light shines through the windows.

The fat man crept along the pillar to the left, Qin Wuyan was the second person to go up, Cha Wenbin and they decided to line up another Ye Qiu, this building is too old, God knows whether the planks of those attics are still firm or not, if they step on it, even if Jiu'er is really inside, it will become a tragedy.

"Jiu'er?"

The fat man poked his head into the window, and Cha Wenbin saw that as soon as he poked in, he immediately stepped back, and then stumbled, but fortunately, the fat man reacted quickly enough and hugged the pillar when he was about to fall, and opened his mouth and shouted: "Damn, what the hell is this place, why is the room full of fucking coffins!" ”

It was not surprising that anything appeared here, and Cha Wenbin asked him, "Is there anyone inside?" ”

"I guess there are dead people, but I haven't seen the living people, damn it, Cha Ye I think this is a very evil sect, if you don't handle this kind of thing, I haven't seen those coffins in my eight lifetimes."

"Don't worry, what kind of thing is it?"

The fat man shouted from above: "Three horizontal and three vertical are the same as building blocks, fuck it, a room is stacked from the floor to the top, I wonder if this is a righteous village!" ”

At this moment, the light on the right side of the second floor suddenly dimmed, and then turned on again, this subtle change did not escape the eyes of the wind below, and he decisively shouted: "Brother Qin, on the right, on the right!" ”

Qin Wuyan originally wanted to go to the fat man, but as soon as he shouted like this, he immediately turned around, and across the road of three or four meters, Qin Wuyan jumped into the window impartially, and then heard a panicked footsteps, and then suddenly a strange scream came from upstairs.

Cha Wenbin said secretly: "Oh no! ”

Feng Qiyun and Ye Qiu went up with a rope left and right, and as soon as they stepped on the pillar, Qin Wuyan carried a big black guy out of the window with an expressionless face and said, "A bat." ”

"Bats?"

The people below exclaimed, that can also be called a bat?

Have you ever seen a bat the size of a child?

That thing was like a calf in Qin Wuyan's hand, and his intestines were hanging on the side, needless to say, this master only used one knife to get the result.

Cha Wenbin suddenly took a step back and shouted, "This is not a bat!" Come down, come down! We've got to get out first! ”
