Thirty-eighth, the ancient city of Gumo

In the dark sewers, I couldn't see anything, the only thing I could see was a circular hole in the top of the flashlight, and there was a slight wind blowing in from the top of the hole. I stretched out my palm and saw the fine sand falling from above, and there was some hard white substance in the sand.

"Could it be the city up there?" I clenched my palms and let the old sand run through my fingertips, leaving tooth-like things one by one.

"It's an animal's tooth, and it looks like a canine." Wang Yang took the teeth from my hand and said.

I clapped my palms, took the backpack off my shoulders and asked, "How do we get up?" This is not something that can be solved by stacking ladders. ”

"It seems to me to be a dwelling, as you can see from the animal's teeth. And it is estimated that there will be many such passages not far away. Xie Chenhui didn't speak, but Wang Yang replied.

"Well, just let me stop." I glanced at the dry well below and said, "Listen to it, I'm tired, say it is ugly, brother!" I'm afraid, you know what? ”

"That's it, go get the hook! I'll see if I can throw it. Xie Chenhui weighed it and said, "We can't walk around here, think about a city that has been buried in the sand for thousands of years, what do those living creatures rely on to survive?" In my opinion, this place has formed a kind of biological chain, and this biological chain is someone else's appetizer from any point of view, so we can't mess around. ”

"Okay!" Wang Yang sighed, completely without the timidity when he came in at the beginning, he swaggered and threw his backpack on the ground, picked up a bag of stuffy beef, and nibbled on it.

The food is sufficient, but the lack of water has become a big problem for us, similar to being trapped in the grave before, and we may not be able to plant it here this time. I didn't choose to eat, I just took out the hook and rope silently. I'm still wondering who the man is in the weird bones, who is that person? How did you get into the skeleton's body, and what the hell is this hole above me for?

In ancient times, the word sewer was rarely known, because unlike today's commonality, sewers were only available in the courtyard of the palace, and most of the waste that was poured into them were discarded leftovers. Ordinary people are all poured into their own fields. And there is something wrong, if it is really a house where people live as Wang Yang said, then why is there still wind and sand? Aren't the houses well preserved?

Just thinking about it, Xie Chenhui had already used the anchor hook launcher to hit the hook rope into the pottery pipe above, and pulled it, but fortunately, the back of the pottery pipe was still dirt, so the weight of a person was still completely bearable. The first one to go up was Xie Chenhui, and after we saw him climb up, we immediately carried the large searchlight up with a rope, and soon the light spread on it, and with that little bit of light and angle, I could see that it was indeed a house on it.

The structure of the house is more like that of the Western Regions, with high roofs and rounded perimeters. Reminds me of the scene in the Prince of Persia.,I was bored to download and play when I was looking for half a year to recuperate.,It's an honor that I didn't clear the level.,To be exact, half of the levels of the honor didn't pass.。

"Gumo is also one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, so there will not be much difference in architectural style."

"No," I replied as I wrapped the rope around my waist, "to be honest, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions don't have a lot of cultures coming and going, and there are not so many cultures connected by a Silk Road, let alone architecture. ”

"Don't you ink, let's go up and talk about it, no matter how worried you are now, we still have to go up, right?" Wang Yang pulled the belt around my waist and pushed me. I immediately went up the rope.

I finally grabbed the loose dirt around the hole and climbed up, and it was a square room with a Western Regions style. However, the diagonal side of the house was broken by something, and all the dirt and sand rolled down into the house, causing it to become a veritable pile of sand.

Taking advantage of the time when Xie Chenhui pulled Wang Yang up, I squatted next to me and looked at the location of this hole, sure enough, it stands to reason that this is a hall-like room, and there should not be such a hole. In other words, this hole was forcibly dug by something, just like the broken walls of this house. With no obstruction and thousands of years of wind and sand to hide nothing, I stepped on the sand and dust and slowly walked towards the huge crack.

Moving the searchlight, the mystery of this ancient city was finally reflected in my eyes.

In the distance is a black tower, surrounded by domed buildings. From the nearest one I could see its painted canopy and roofed pedestal, and from the outside it looked like a vault-shaped house on the inside. In addition, the four sides of the balustrade are composed of grid-like walls, covered with a pattern with red as the main tone. The intense color in the darkness gives a sense of brightness.

"The bug down there crawled up the sewer and ate the people in this room, and this broken spot is the bug's brainchild." Wang Yang walked over and hit the searchlight directly into the street not far away, "Look at the hole over there, it should have been caused by the insects climbing up." This is not heaven, it is a real ghost country. ”

Walk out of this house, see an upright avenue, one end of the avenue is a huge city gate, one end is the black tower, this is Chengtianmen Street, connecting the city center and the street in and out of the gate, generally speaking, the imperial city of the Tang Dynasty is three vertical in the north and south, seven horizontal in the east and west, but the city in the Western Regions is not like this, with a major transportation hub in the city to bear everything, the other streets are alleys and small streets.

Because the land was not as vast as Middle-earth, these small countries at that time were very densely built houses. I thought to myself as I walked down the street, but as I walked, I felt that something was watching me all the time. Because there is no sunlight in the underworld, every place looks unusually dark, and I don't know where the wind comes from from time to time, and I can't help but feel a little numb in my heart when I walk in the front.

Turning his head, he saw every shadow on the corner of the street swinging as it was illuminated by the light of a searchlight. It always makes me creepy, when the fat man is still there, I heard him half-jokingly say that there are nine streets and eighteen lanes of the ancient city, and there are often unclean things hidden in the alleys, and they will come out at night to make trouble. I looked at my watch at 2 a.m., and it was in the dark for a long time, so that we completely lost the perception of sleepiness at night.

2 o'clock? 2 o'clock is when the yin energy is at its heaviest. Just thinking about it, suddenly I felt something on my shoulder, I turned around suddenly, and saw Wang Yang and Xie Chenhui behind me walking indifferently, "Yes, there are people behind me, what am I worried about?" Wiping the sweat from my mask to my neck, I turned back and drove ahead, but just as I was about to turn back, I suddenly saw a pair of eyes in a house on my side.

This scared me out, and I ran to the wall of the house without thinking about anything. I tried to see if someone was staring at me inside the wall, but before I could get closer, the light on my helmet flickered and the thing inside the wall disappeared in a flash, and by the time I ran over, all I saw was a hole the size of a spectacle lens. "There's someone inside." The first feeling told me that I was not mistaken, that there was really something inside this house staring at us.

"You're crazy, Xiao Du." Wang Yang and Xie Chenhui soon rushed over.

"I'm not crazy, there's someone in this house." I shouted that the reason why people are afraid of ghosts. Fundamentally, I think that there is no such thing as a ghost, so I am intimidated when I see it. "There's really someone in this house." In the face of their questioning eyes. I decided that I still want to strike first, what can we be afraid of with so many people now, so many lighting equipment and guns and ammunition? I immediately proposed, "I'm going in." ”

"Go in?" At this time, Wang Yang suddenly laughed.

"What?" I was surprised.

"You can see clearly that this is not a house, how do you get in?" Saying that, Wang Yang stepped aside and pointed to that side, "This house has no walls, it is sealed on all sides, this is actually not a house." Xiao Du, this is a grave! A huge tomb. ”

"Grave?" I took a few steps back in disbelief and looked at the building in front of me.

"Didn't you hear it so loud when Xie Chenhui and I were talking in the back before?" Wang Yang looked at me with disdain.

"Talk? You said it, and you said how to pull me in. When I was still wondering if I hadn't heard their conversation, Xie Chenhui was the first to speak, "I didn't even know that this building was a tomb, when did you say this to me?" ”

Wang Yang listened to Xie Chenhui's defense. Immediately realizing that something was not right, he lowered his tone and whispered, "Could it be that you didn't tell me that this place is a tomb just now?" ”

"Fart, don't pretend to be a ghost here, Lao Tzu was frightened by the hand on Xiao Du's shoulder just now, and thought that Lao Tzu was hallucinating, what do you mean by coming to mix in one way again?" Xie Chenhui shouted loudly, the sound spread in the streets and alleys of the city, and as the building spread, the sound was refracted into large and small echoes, and then reached my ears, like a gloomy grimace whispering in your ear.

"Don't talk nonsense, Wang Yang, you're too much of a joke." While I kept a steady view of the house, it was sealed all sides, and there was a stone monument in front of the main entrance that resembled a gate, which looked like a door in the dark, and it was no wonder that I was mistaken. But to say that I was wrong, why did Xie Chenhui see something on my shoulder, and who was the person who talked to Wang Yang before?

I shuddered at the thought of this, but I still told myself to be calm, "Let's keep walking, don't ask anything, don't look at anything, since we are here, our main purpose is to find the statue, and we must let people outside know what is written on the back of the statue." As I spoke, I slowly felt as if I was dying here, and I couldn't help but say something outside. But just as I feared that my words would not be controlled, my mouth opened again, and as if my chin was being held and my tongue pulled, I said in a thin nasal voice, "We are all going to die here."
