As I walked, I briefed Shirley Young about the situation in the slaughterhouse. Shirley Yang thinks that this is not as simple as being lost outside the orbit of time, for example, the cooked beef cooked in the pot is indeed cooked and delicious, and if it is eaten up, it will not reappear again, and every qiē in the city is fixed at a certain time, and if it is not affected by external forces, it will never change in any way. The sky outside turned from dark to pitch black, and the time of the watch was normal, indicating that time was still passing normally. In addition, there is another point that is the easiest to ignore, the things in Evil Luohai City are not static, it can only be said that it permanently retains a specific form, and it is definitely not the cause of time solidification, so the assumption that time and space produce chaos can be temporarily ruled out. For the sake of convenience, let's call the eternity-like moment in the city of Evil Luohai "X-ray———", a mysterious ancient city that completely stays on the "X-line——— "X" means unknown.

If you want to solve the mystery of the "X-ray", you must find out what happened in the last moments of the city of Evil Luohai, and perhaps you will not be able to find the answer to the truth until after dawn, in the depths of the hive castle.

I was driven crazy by the strange things in this ancient city, and at this time I listened to Shirley Yang's analysis, and found that her thinking was very clear, it seems that people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away, but maybe I have been the material for being a leader all my life, so I don't have a mind that can be a staff officer.

From the perimeter of the city walls, we climbed back to the green rocks by the wind-eroded lake, and looked back at the city of Evil Luohai in the night. It sank silently into the ground, still flickering with countless lights, but the light in the city was still as dim as it was at dusk, and it seemed that tomorrow morning, the city would still be like this.

After going back and forth, Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang were already overdrawn. There are spotted Jiaojiao in the mountains and forests, and we dare not go down the rock, so we have to find a sheltered place to rest on the green rock, and prepare to rest until dawn, and then enter the main city to find out.

So they took turns keeping vigils. At dawn the next day, I found Shirley Yang waking up and looking intently through the map of the Bible we had found in the temple of reincarnation. The clouds overhead were very thick, the sunlight shining through the gaps in the clouds was not sufficient, and the valley surrounded by cliffs and dangerous peaks was very dim, and the city under the rock was as if it was completely cut off from this world, it was still the same, the lights were shining, and it was surprisingly quiet, and the whole city stayed on the "X-ray".

Shirley Yang said that she had a hunch that if she couldn't find the secret of the "X-ray" today, I was afraid that everyone would never be able to leave the valley behind the gate of disaster, and this place was in a desperate situation.

The map in Shirley Yang's hand was very badly damaged, and it was the Portuguese priest who stole the secrets of the Samsara Sect and wanted to dig for treasure, but before he could make the trip, the priest was killed due to religious conflicts. We couldn't tell whether the terrain depicted in the map was the "Land of the Roc Birds" or the "Phoenix Shrine", so we asked Shirley Yang if there was anything new to discover.

Shirley Yang said: "Compared with the nearby terrain, it can be concluded that the biblical map is the map of the Phoenix Shrine ——— the city of Luohai, but despite his best efforts, he has only restored less than 30% of the drawings secretly drawn by the Portuguese priest, and it is still one east and one west, and they are not connected to each other...... However, if time permits, I can complete the missing parts of the map according to the environment here. ”

If we had a map of the old city, even if only a part of it was used as a reference, it would be a great help for us. I cheered up, woke up the fat man, Uncle Ming, and Ah Xiang one by one, and distributed the few remaining foods to everyone for breakfast. After eating this meal, there is no reserve, except for going to the lake to fish, only to go to the city to cook beef and eat.

When I entered the city again, Uncle Ming discussed with me again, if you don't enter the city, it is better to go over the mountains and mountains to find a way out, since the ancient city is so strange, why risk your life.

I pretended not to hear, thinking to myself that I and the fat man and Shirley Yang, in order to find the root of the phoenix gall, how hard we have worked, finally arrived here, how can we give up lightly, and would rather die before the battle, not after the battle, immediately walk a few steps quickly, and rush to the city.

Except for what we had touched, nothing had changed, even the faint mist in the city was still like that, and the fat man went straight to the slaughterhouse and cut a few large pieces of "fresh" yak meat for later use.

Last night, I wanted to wait until dawn to see the structure of the tall beehive and then smash the yellow dragon, but the light in the city was still dim, and when I looked up under the hive, the lights in the main city were like thousands of fireflies quietly attached to the hive.

The large beehive exposed above is only half cut off, and the larger part is sunk deep underground. According to the values of the Demon Kingdom, important authorities should be underground, so we walked around the city to find the largest cave and enter the hive. The density of the caves and the complexity of the structure are like honeycomb ant nests, which makes people wonder whether the inhabitants are humans or insects.

I think that in the late 60s and early 70s, the whole country dug deep holes and accumulated grain, and I also dug that kind of civil air defense facilities, but compared to this underground evil Luohai City, it is only a small thing. Many of these caves are naturally formed, otherwise it would be difficult to imagine such an engineering work with manpower and equipment alone.

We looked for the largest passage and went underground, where the passage and the caves on both sides were lit by lights. With each step forward, Shirley Yang wrote down the terrain on paper with a pen, and she sketched very quickly, and she drew a simple and practical road map without too much time along the way.

From time to time, I use a wolf's eye flashlight to illuminate the cave houses on both sides, most of the cave houses without lights are empty, and some holes, damp places also gather many cockroaches bigger than mice, with the butt of a gun can not be smashed, the deeper you go, the fewer the number of cave houses, but the scale is getting bigger and bigger.

At the end of the underground of the nest city, there are two large stone doors that are hidden, there is a door hole on the left and right sides of the passage, there are two gems embedded in the door hole, one blue and one white, shine in with a flashlight, in the hole on the left, there are dozens of square meters square, the dome is very high, and there is a stone ghost head statue in the depths. The head of the ghost has an ugly and hideous face, a row of seven-star ladybugs carved on the lower jaw, faint butter lamps are burning in the four corners, and on the ground in the middle, there are two steamed offerings of black ox and white horse side by side, and the things in the door hole on the other side are similar.

Shirley Yang flipped out the map, and one of the fragments had the two locations of "Ice Palace" and "Fire Palace", which were exactly the same as here, but the place inside the big stone gate at the end of the passage should be marked on the map was damaged, and only on the edge of the map defect could you see a little pattern that resembled animal bones. Remember that in the Black Tiger Xuan Altar of the Reincarnation Sect, the lowest layer of the crystal brick also has similar figures, are these bones related to the disappearance of the inhabitants of Evil Luohai City?

I pushed open the stone door at the end of the room with a lot of suspicion, and as soon as I entered, I immediately felt a chill penetrate my heart and lungs, thinking that the evil qi in this hall was heavy enough, it was cloudy and cold, and it was completely different from the environment of the upper floors. As far as the eye can see, it is a jeweled temple, but although there are many lights in the temple, they are very dim, and the hall is so deep that it is difficult to see the situation inside.

At this time, Shirley Yang and the fat man also followed me into the stone gate, and I was about to walk forward, when I found Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang standing outside and did not follow up, so I greeted them: "Go, what are you waiting for?" ”

Ah Xiang hid behind Uncle Ming and whispered to Uncle Ming, and Uncle Ming was full of panic when he heard it. I felt more and more strange, so I went back and asked them what the hell was going on.

Uncle Ming suddenly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at me: "Don't come here, don't come here, I'll shoot if I come over again." You...... You have something on your back. ”

I stopped, standing seven or eight steps away from Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang, facing the muzzle of Uncle Ming's gun pointed at me, I already understood, Ah Xiang must have said that I was taken by that kind of thing, I have no grudge against her, and she can't frame me. Is it because I didn't agree to marry her? But Ah Xiang seems to have a very good personality, so she shouldn't frame me, but who can say for sure about women. My mind started to get a little confused, but it occurred to me that there was something really in me. Why didn't I feel it?

I immediately recited a paragraph of Mao Xuan in my heart: "The style of combining theory and practice is the style of being closely linked with the masses of the people, as well as the style of self-criticism. "No problem, I'm still me, you can rest assured.

Uncle Ming said to me: "Brother Hu, you and I have a good relationship, and I see that you have a bright future, so I intend to marry Ah Xiangxu to you." But you really have a problem now, Ah Xiang's eyes can't be wrong. ”

This evil Luohai city is far beyond the common sense and imagination of human beings, anything can happen, and I know that after the death of Uncle Ming's wife, bodyguard, and Ma Zai, he has become a frightened bird, and for his own safety, he will definitely dare to shoot.

But as soon as Uncle Ming raised the gun, the fat man and Shirley Yang behind me also aimed two sporting rifles at his head. I waved my hand at the fat man behind me to calm them down, if one side couldn't hold their breath and shot first, no matter who fell in a pool of blood, it would be a very terrible cannibalism.

Uncle Ming was indeed overly nervous just now, and at this time, his mind, which was known as "Little Zhuge ", slowly recovered, and he could naturally see the current situation, even if he made the slightest outrageous move, the fat man and Shirley Yang would not hesitate to use bullets to open two holes in his head. He wanted to put the pistol back, but he felt a little embarrassed, and wanted to say something about the soup, but he couldn't say it, and it took a long time to explain that he wanted to hit me in the back. In this world, there is no such thing as a father-in-law shooting his son-in-law.

The muzzle of the fat man and Shirley Yang had already collapsed Uncle Ming's psychological defense, and he didn't dare to shoot if he borrowed his courage. So I asked Ah Xiang directly, what was going on, what did you see on my back.

Ah Xiang said: "Brother Hu, I'm scared, I did see a black thing on your back just now, but I couldn't see what it was, it seemed to be a black whirlpool." ”

"Black Vortex"? Could it be that the eyeball curse on his body has begun to change? But why didn't Ah Xiang see anything on Shirley Yang and the fat man? I hurriedly pointed to the back of my neck and asked Ah Xiang, "Is this here?" ”

Ah Xiang shook her head and said, "No, it's in your backpack...... It's still there. ”

I hurriedly unloaded the backpack behind me, and found that the two zippers of the backpack were open, as if at the end of the passage, the fat man took out the probing claws from my bag, ready to probe if there was a mechanism behind the stone door, but he didn't pull the backpack on. Ah Xiang's eyes can only see the uncovered area, even if it is not a direct gaze, or there is no light. But what can I have in my backpack?

I shook out all the contents of it, and Ah Xiang pointed to one thing and said, "That's it......"

At this time, Shirley Yang also came to watch: "Phoenix gall! "This bead was originally integrated with the head of the king, but we brought it back to Beijing, and it was difficult to restore it after being cut and peeled by skilled craftsmen. At this time, I took a look and found that the layer of jade on its surface was gradually melting and disappearing, revealing the beads inside, and it itself had an energy that could attract chaotic qi, and what Ah Xiang saw was that thing.

It seems that the phoenix gall must have been influenced by this mysterious ancient city in some way, perhaps related to the "X-ray" that froze time. With this bead in hand, perhaps we have the key to open the door that has been sealed with countless ancient secrets.

The fat man saw that we had no surprises, so he took this opportunity to disarm Uncle Ming in the past, and easily searched out his Swiss gold watch and the piece of lung-moistening jade, and confiscated them all with his feet. Uncle Ming was short in the hands of the fat man this time, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Shirley Yang and I observed the phoenix gall, this eye of reincarnation, which represents immortality, and the secret of this evil Luohai City, we still need to continue to search in the city. So he reassembled the beads and explained to Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang a little, this is a misunderstanding, there is not even a ghost in this evil Luohai City, so they don't have to worry, if they still don't worry about wanting to part ways, then please take care of yourself, you have legs on your body, and no one stops you.

Then we walked into the main hall behind the stone gate, where there was only one entrance, and the stone pillars were lit with lights, and the walls were full of hundreds of human skins. In the past, I saw murals painted on the walls or on the masonry, but here the important events in the city are tattooed on the human skin in red, white, black and blue. This is also the only recorded scroll we have seen in the city of Evil Luohai.

There are also some large sacrificial vessels in the temple, and there are some **female statues in the deepest part. Shirley Young only glanced at it a few times and said, "The information written on these skins is too important. Although the symbols cannot be fully understood, combined with the part of the war with the Demon Kingdom in the long rap poem of the World Enemy Treasure Jewel Hero, and the heavy events of the Demon Kingdom recorded in the temple, we can understand those little-known ancient histories, and definitely solve most of the problems we face. ”

Although we have a lot of information, until now, it is all fragments that are difficult to connect, and only Shirley Yang can use them as a whole, and I can't help much in this regard, so I can only help with ideas.

So I let Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang rest in the hall, and the fat man was responsible for roasting some beef to satisfy everyone's hunger, and Shirley Yang and I went to analyze the scrolls on the skins of those people, and gradually sorted out the clues one by one.

As the main city of the Demon Kingdom, the political system of Evil Luo Hai City is completely different from that of other countries. The ruling area of the heyday of the demon kingdom covered the surrounding areas of Kunlun Mountain, and there were no kings in the past dynasties, and they were directly led by the main god they worshipped, "the bones of the snake god". In that ancient era, divination was a very strict activity that could not be held lightly, and it could only be held once every few years, or even more than ten years.

There is no king in the demon kingdom, which is why there is no royal palace in the city, but only a temple. The so-called members of the royal family are all wizards who have the right to speak, but these people's status is ranked fifth in the country.

In the values of the Demon Kingdom, the bone of the snake god is the supreme god; Second only to this evil god is the cave where his bones are buried; Thirdly, there is the kind of "Pure Seeing Ahan" (Giant Eyed Snake) with a black naked eye on the top of the head.

The most depicted in the picture scroll is the ghost mother who is often mentioned in the legends of the Demon Kingdom. The religion of the Demon Kingdom believes that each generation of ghost mothers is reincarnated, and they can never show their faces, and they always have to cover their faces, because their eyes are the sixth type of eyes "Demon Eyes" that can rival the "Buddha's Eyes". The Buddha's eyes are boundless, the demon eyes are boundless, and not every generation of ghost mothers can have this kind of demon pupils.

Under the ghost mother are the chief priests who have mastered some evil arts——— similar to the primitive form of the evil arts. Of course, at that time, the art of rescuing was far less complicated than that of the period of sacrificing the king, and it could not harm people and be invisible, and it was mainly used to hold heavy sacrifices.

Their burial customs are also very peculiar, and only the chief priest is qualified to be buried in the nine-story demon tower. In the ruins of the Great Phoenix Temple in Kunlunya, the ancient tomb of the demon kingdom I saw should be the burial tomb of a ghost mother, and the first ghost mother ——— regarded as the daughter of the evil god, "Nian Fierce Black Face" has been buried in the demon tower of Longding Glacier. These terms are mentioned many times in the legend of King Gesar.

In some scenes depicting war, you can even see the participation of wolves and other beasts, among which the white wolf is probably the Crystal Freedom Mountain, but the status of the White Wolf King and Dapu Ghost Worm is very low, only equivalent to demon slaves. The ancient legends handed down from that period basically exaggerated and deified the characteristics of some tribes and beasts, and enshrined them as gods of mountains, rivers and lakes, just like the legendary era before the Xia and Shang Dynasty in China.

In the legend of King Gesar, due to the invasion of the "Northern Demon" (Demon Country), the three kingdoms of Lingdi, Rongdi, and Jiadi have faced the doom of exterminating the clan many times, and finally there is a king who controls the enemy orb on the plateau, and with the assistance of Master Padmasambhava, he led the alliance of the Three Kingdoms to step into the snowy region of the north to kill demons and eliminate demons, and destroyed the demon country in one fell swoop. The sudden weakening of the Demon Kingdom is likely due to the disaster that destroyed the city of Evil Luohai. But there is no record of this on these skins.

At this time, the fat man beckoned to us: "If you have a butt, you won't have to worry about finding a place to be on the board, let's eat first." ”

I also felt that hunger was rising in my belly, so I put these things aside for a while and went to eat. Looking back, Shirley Young was still looking at the last few skins, and I called her several times before I came over.

But Shirley Yang didn't go to get the fat man's roasted beef, and walked directly to Ah Xiang, casually as if intentionally or unintentionally, brushed Ah Xiang's hair with his hand, and looked at the back of her neck. At this time, her face had changed subtly, and she went to look at the back of Uncle Ming's neck, and Uncle Ming didn't know what she wanted to do, so she had to let Shirley Yang take a look at the back of her neck.

As soon as I saw Shirley Young's expression of biting her lip, I knew that something was wrong. She has this habitual action before making important judgments and decisions. Sure enough, Shirley Yang said to me: "I think we were all deceived by Ah Xiang's eyes, this city is indeed real, but this is not Evil Luohai City at all, this is the bottomless ghost cave......"
