Chapter 38: Tomb Architecture

Mai Lao stretched out his hand and pointed to the place just now and said, "You don't know what the situation was at that time, it was not ordinary quicksand at all, I felt that there was a powerful force pulling our rope from there, if it was one step later, we would all be wiped out, and I had no choice but to do this." ”

"Mai Lao is right, this is indeed not ordinary quicksand, I also feel it, under the yellow sand, there seems to be something grabbing our rope, if it is a little later, we may also fall into it." Although Mai Lao was a little indifferent, what he said was indeed the truth, if I were to make a decision, I would not hesitate to cut the rope, and there was no way to sacrifice someone if necessary.

Martin sighed, "But we should fight for it." ”

Mai Lao grabbed his arm and whispered, "I know you're sad, and so am I, but if I don't do this, we'll all die here, I'm sorry Martin, I hope you understand." ”

Martin nodded, and then he walked up to Shaoyu and squatted down and asked, "It's okay, we're all here, you'll be safe." ”

"Captain, I'm scared, I'm really scared." Shaoyu was almost crying, this big boy was not lightly scared.

Martin hugged him and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, don't worry, the captain won't let you have an accident, trust me, we'll leave here as soon as we find the treasure." ”

"No, it's dangerous here, you don't know, there's something down here, Captain, there's something down there in this desert." Shaoyu said in horror.

Martin turned to look at us, then quickly asked, "What do you see?" ”

Shaoyu kept shaking his head and said, "I don't know, I vaguely seem to see something catch him, but I don't see anything, but I know that there must be something under this desert." ”

Martin pressed his shoulders and comforted him, "Don't be so nervous, this is the desert, it could just be quicksand or a desert whirlpool, don't worry." ”

"No, no, I feel like there's a strong force pulling us down there, I can feel it." Shaoyu firmly believes in his own judgment.

Martin turned back to look at us again, and Jiao Ba suddenly said, "He's right, I also feel this power, it's not right here, there may really be something under the yellow sand." ”

"Captain, it's dangerous here, we could die here at any moment." Shaoyu's mood this time was a little abnormal, when he was in Bingcheng, he was not so scared, but now he has completely changed, and he looks a little in a trance.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine, Mai Lao, how far do we have to go?" Martin got up and looked at Mai Lao and asked.

Mai Lao took out the navigation chart, looked at it and said, "I don't know, the navigation chart shows that we have reached the last stop, but I don't know what this stop is, but judging from the current situation, it must have nothing to do with the shipwreck." ”

"Bacheng is the mausoleum of Emperor Jianwen, this ghost place, the gods can't find it, isn't it just suitable for burial." Jiao Ba said with a sneer.

Chang Shan looked around and said, "There is no exact location, we are just blindly looking for it." ”

"Do you have any good ideas?" I asked.

"Nope." Chang Shan replied very simply.

Junko then asked, "I said Captain Martin, don't you have an off-road vehicle or anything like that on your boat?" ”

Martin glanced at me, "Are you thinking I'm an aircraft carrier?" Where are there any off-road vehicles, and if there are, will we still have to walk for hours on foot? It's all nonsense to ask. ”

Junko pursed her lips, feeling that she was an idiot when she asked.

"The wind and sand are a little smaller, we have to hurry up, let's go." Mai Lao greeted and took the lead in walking up.

I scolded helplessly, "Fuck, shit place." ”

We dragged our tired bodies and continued to hurry, time was of the essence to us, but at the same time time it didn't matter to us, because we didn't know how long it would take to find our destination.

As I was hurrying, I looked up at the sky and said, "It's been more than five hours, and you see, the sun is still hanging above us, and it's not moving." "I've long found out that something is wrong, the sun has always remained motionless," I remember when I was in the ice city, the sun didn't move, it seems that the environment here is similar to the ice city, but the ice city is very cold, and it is very hot here. Junko said as she walked.

Jiao Ba took out the compass he was carrying with him and looked at it, his face sank, and he scolded, "Fuck, the compass is out of order again, and the watch is finished, there is interference in this place, Mai Lao, the compass and the watch are out of order." ”

After hearing the shout, Mai Lao hurriedly stopped, he immediately set up the communication equipment and began to call, "Lao Wu Lao Wu, please answer when you hear it, please answer when you hear it." ”

He tried to shout a few more times, but there was still no answer except for the sound of 'squeak', and Mai Lao shook his head helplessly, "Oh no, I lost contact with the ship again." ”

"It's over, we're in trouble if we want to go back." Li Xin said with a cold face.

I suddenly felt a lot of pressure, "Don't worry about this for now, since you're here, you can't turn back, let's get on the road." ”

Mai Lao threw the communication equipment here, since it has failed, it is a waste of physical strength to carry such a heavy thing on our backs, we set off on the road again, and still go up, this is like a big hillside, the more you go up, the higher the temperature, the hotter the road under your feet, it is like walking on the coals.

"Wow fuck, it's so fucking hot, my feet are almost cooked." The big man yelled in the back.

Without looking back, I replied, "Bear with it, it's better than being next to a volcano." ”

"Damn, I still like Bingcheng, although it's a little colder, I won't suffer so much." The big man has the most luggage, he is big, so he naturally has to take a little more things, Li Xin and Jenny walked in front of me, their pace was obviously slowing down, they looked very tired, I turned my head and asked softly, "Hey, are you two okay?" If not, take a break. ”

Jenny stopped, turned around and said, "Don't worry, I can still hold on." With that, she turned and continued on her way.

But her face is pale, her lips are chapped, her eyes are a little dull, it looks like she is going to be dehydrated, in order to save water, the two of them have hardly drunk water, more than a few of us old men can still insist, my kettle is about three-quarters of the water left, and their kettle is almost a slam, when drinking water, just moisten the lips with water, what a tenacious woman.

About an hour or so, we climbed to the top of the hillside, Mai Lao took out the binoculars and looked at it, and said with some excitement, "Look, there is a building in front of it, we seem to have found the right place." ”

I took the telescope in his hand and looked at it, more than ten kilometers away in front of us, there is indeed a relatively large building, at first glance, it seems to be a large fortress, but due to the distance, coupled with the wind and sand, so I can only see a rough idea, the impact is vague, not very clear.

"It looks like a castle, it's huge." I casually handed the telescope to Li Xin.

Li Xin looked at it and said, "How do I feel similar to the palace, very similar, especially the boxy shape." ”

Jiao Ba also had a telescope in his hand, he kept observing, never spoke, and when he put down the telescope, he said with a cold face, "That's right, it should be here, obviously, it's a temporary palace." ”

"A temporary palace? What do you mean? I asked, turning my head.

"To put it simply, it's not a real palace, it may be the temporary residence of Emperor Jianwen when he was alive, or it may be his tomb, I personally think that it is more likely that it is still a tomb, this ghost place, it is difficult for humans to survive." Jiao Ba wiped his sweat and said with a flushed face.

"Not necessarily, normally speaking, there are oases in the desert, we just haven't found water and food, but not necessarily Zhu Yunwen can't find it, he is likely to have been living here to avoid Zhu Di's pursuit." Chang Shan's condition is not bad, it seems that his face is not red and his heart is not beating, and his physical strength is really much beyond ordinary people.

"Are you so sure, is this last figure Emperor Jianwen?" Mai Lao cast a questioning look.

Chang Shan spread his hands, "It seems that there is nothing to refute, it seems that this is indeed the case." ”

"I'm sure it's definitely Emperor Jianwen." Jiao Ba's self-confidence swelled, and he trusted his own judgment every time.

"I hope it's what you said, I also want to see the true face of Emperor Jianwen's Lushan." Mai Lao chuckled.

"See him? It is estimated that there is no hope, even if he was still alive at that time, he will definitely die now, and this palace must be a dead city again. The mouth of the steamed bun is still very stinky, every time he speaks, everyone will frown, Jenny and Li Xin even hide away.

"What's wrong with you? The face is so bad? What a coward, what's so scary about the dead city. "When Mantou saw that we reacted so strongly, he thought we were scared.

Jiao Ba covered his nose with one hand, frowned and whispered, "You just need to say a few words, I don't want to be smoked to death by this smell." ”

"The smell? What smell? Why can't I smell it? "We have been walking for more than six hours since the bun set off, and he has not drunk a sip of water, nor has he eaten anything, and he has not felt tired at all.

He asked us several times why he was not tired, but we could not answer him, so we had to avoid the question, and except for a few of us who were in the know, everyone else must have seen some clues, because several of us were avoiding the question, and no one would answer him directly.
