Chapter 56: A City or a Mausoleum
Although the royal city in front of me is sunk in a deep underground canyon, it is as if it is natural! The bricks, tiles, and buildings all carry the original simplicity of a thousand years ago, but they do not lose the style of the royal family.
Under Chen Feng's guidance, everyone entered the city and went to the place where they were temporarily staying. Qin Zhen looked at the uneven stone road under his feet, and the large and small cracks must have been cracked when he sank into the ground. It was under the infection of this indescribable affection that Qin Zhen felt that every step under his feet was stepping on a long and heavy history. It was unreal as if I had traveled through a thousand years of time and arrived in this underground royal city.
It didn't take long for the flashlight to attract other teammates. They eagerly ran to the front, and when they saw that everyone was still there, they all breathed a deep sigh of relief almost at the same time.
may be in the worst state in front of him, because after all, the injured man was brought back by two people. As soon as Ma Chao Yan Jun and Lan Qing saw Gu Jie's situation, they hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and eagerly cared about what happened, and the injured were not strict.
In this way, the group finally gathered together again and came to the place where they had been resting for the time being. In fact, it is an ordinary building, and I can't tell what it was used for before. The reason why they chose this place is probably because of the proximity to the main road outside. In this case, it is convenient to pick up Yudong and them at any time.
Lan Qing quickly rummaged through the medical equipment and medicines she needed, and asked Xiang Yudong worriedly, "Brother Dong, are you injured?" How did you get it like this..."Probably because Lan Qing saw that Yu Dong's body was full of snake blood and other unknown marks, she really couldn't figure out Yu Dong's situation. So I'm worried.
As for Yudong, he took off the clothes that were stained with a lot of cobra snake saliva in another corner. While wiping himself and changing his clothes, he replied lightly, "I'm fine, you take care of Gu Jie." I can't be sure if his wound is poisonous or not, so you can give him a good examination. ”
After speaking, Yu Dong walked back cleanly. I found a place to sit casually and pulled out a box of cigarettes. After lighting one himself, he threw it to Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen took it over happily, thinking that this buddy was too righteous and considerate, so he knew what he needed most at this time! Thinking about it, he couldn't wait to take out his cigarette, sat next to Yudong, and smoked greedily. It cannot be denied that cigarettes are indeed the perfect food for thought.
After listening to Yu Dong's words, Lan Qing just nodded silently. Gu Jie was not polite, and said directly to Lan Qing, "Lan Qing, I think Dong Shao's words still make sense." You'd better take good care of me, then you won't have to worry about him. Although Dong Shao is definitely the person with the greatest credit this time, the young master of the family is not bad in King Kong, and he has not been injured! But I'm different, and what scares them is a precursor to not surviving. If it weren't for the fact that I had to come back alive to see you, I guess I would have been strong. ”
Qin Zhen listened on the side, laughing secretly in his heart, and said in his heart that even if you are strong, you can't enter Babao Mountain, why bother singing praises here.
After hearing Gu Jie's words, Lan Qing first smiled shallowly, and then took out the injection medicine and said, "Don't always talk about that, it's too unlucky." I checked it carefully just now, and there is no poison, but this mutated creature that has lived for an unknown amount of time, I don't know if it will carry any bacteria. Therefore, it is better for us to get an injection. Plus, you took this medicine. With that, Lan Qing stretched out her hand and handed Gu Jie water and medicine.
Gu Jie was so moved that he almost burst into tears at this time, he didn't even look at it, and went down as soon as he raised his neck. Then he looked at Lan Qing with a blank look. It is estimated that Lan Qing will give him a handful of arsenic at this time, and he will drink it willingly.
In the end, after dealing with Gu Jie's leg injury, everyone eased up a little, and then sat around to discuss the current situation. Yu Dong said the 'battle' situation just now, and then began to look at this ancient city.
If there is no accident, this should be the underground road that Yudong once said. Originally, I hoped that I would be able to crash into Khotan, Loulan, or the mysterious Luojia for the first time, but the facts were obviously laughing at their wishful thinking.
So far, there is no basis that this is the ancient kingdom of Wusun. Qin Zhen is still wondering, what did Wu Kong's group of people determine that this is Wusun Kingdom? There are no names on the city gates, and there are no signs to be found here. Could it be that because he is a local, he knows more about the older history and legends here?
After thinking about it again, Qin Zhen said curiously, "This Wusun Kingdom was an ancient tribe called itself 'Kun' in the pre-Qin period, and it was nomadic with the Yue clan in the Hexi Corridor during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. How did it sink here? Besides, the architectural style of this city is very Han style, where does it look like a nomad in the Western Regions? ”
Qin Zhen's words actually spoke the question in everyone's hearts. If this is really Wusun, there are indeed many incomprehensible places.
Yu Dong also glanced up at the building at this time, then nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed not in line with the living habits of nomads. It can be said that this is almost entirely in the style of the Han Dynasty. But if you really want to look closely, there are still a lot of nondescript places. As he spoke, Yu Dong raised his hand and shone the flashlight on the roof, and then said, "You see, this sky-style roof is a little out of place with this Han style. ”
was reminded by Yudong like this, and everyone looked at the roof. I have to admire Yudong's insight and meticulousness. He was able to find out the problem in the shortest possible time without seemingly inadvertently.
Everyone looked at the roof with a puzzled expression, and they were very puzzled by this strange architectural style. At this time, Ma Chao and Yan Jun on the side asked if they wanted to go out and check to see if all the houses were in this weird style.
Yu Dong waved his hand quietly and said, "No need." On the way in, I had already roughly observed it, and there was no big difference in style. Moreover, this huge royal city does not seem to be inhabited by too many people. ”
"You know that? How so? Qin Zhen asked Xiang Yudong with wide eyes. I thought to myself, there is not even a ghost in this underground dead city. How the hell do you know how many people lived in it before?
Who knows, Yu Dong glanced at Qin Zhen lightly, and seemed to be habitually laughing at his IQ. Then he said, "Can you tell what this room is for?" ”
"I can't!" Qin Zhen replied as a matter of course, thinking to himself that this question was on the table?
"Why not?" Yudong asked again.
"There's nothing here, what do you want me to judge what it's for??"
……
That's right! Qin Zhen suddenly felt like an initiation! Why didn't I react to such an obvious thing! Since being with Yudong, the longer the time, the more Qin Zhen began to question whether his IQ was really not high.
Most of the buildings in the city are empty, and some are so simple that they feel like they're meaningless empty buildings that aren't really inhabited at all. This is like the chariot warriors in the tomb of the Qin Emperor, it is just a kind of decoration.
But if that's the case, Qin Zhen feels that it is necessary for them to have to redefine this ancient city! It... Is it a royal city? Or a royal tomb?!
The only difference between the two is that one is for the living and the other is for the dead.
Everyone seemed to realize this, and their expressions began to become unnatural at this time. Yudong, on the other hand, still maintained his usual perverted calmness, and after scanning the surroundings again, he said slowly, "This will not be the imperial tomb of Wusun Kingdom. Think about it, no matter how Wusun says it, it can be regarded as a 'country' in the Western Regions. How could the king build such a building that is biased towards the Han Dynasty culture as his own royal tomb? Tribes have always paid attention to national integrity. The fierce personality makes it impossible for them to do such a perverse thing. ”
"Is that possible... This king of Wusun is an upstart? Got rich overnight, spendthrift, and then built an empty city to watch and play? There are quite a few emperors in the world who have done this. Gu Jie interjected on the side.
No one spoke, because everyone knew that the situation that Gu Jie said was simply impossible. Wusun has always belonged to the subject state of the Han Dynasty, and its financial and material resources are well known to the world. There is no reason why such a large construction project would be built in such a large scale in the desert of the Western Regions! The direct consequence of such swagger is, of course, that it will be seen as a conspiracy. As for the gap between Wusun and Dahan, they don't dare yet.
While everyone was racking their brains to ponder the origin of this strange ancient city, Yudong suddenly said "Maybe...... Is this for someone? ”
