The stone mountain in front covers an area of more than ten acres, the highest peak in the middle may be less than ten meters from the ground, and there are jagged rocks scattered nearby, and the whole terrain is not high, in fact, it cannot be called a "mountain".

At the junction of the rock and the desert, some remnants of the wall are exposed, and a few buildings are still intact, similar in style to the ruins of Loulan, but there is no such thing as a pagoda. All the rocks here are dark brown, and in many places there seem to be dark red blood stains, and the dilapidated buildings have an eerie and unsettling atmosphere.

After getting closer, Xiaoxue and I both felt that although there was an aura of evil here, it was different from the dark aura of the evil things we encountered the previous two times. It seems that everything here is just out of the ground after the sand has been blown away, and many people have died, and most of the yin qi comes from this.

There were four Japanese hiding in the ruins, but the footprints they walked in had betrayed them, and Koyuki had sensed their location.

This shouldn't be the ruins that Luo Mingzhong said, nor does it look like the lair of the powerful evil thing, so I boldly walked forward and waved my hand to signal that the second echelon behind could move forward.

I stood on the edge of the ruins and shouted, "Get out of here, can you hide in it for the rest of your life?" ”

The people inside hesitated for a minute or two, and walked out dejectedly, one was Kenta Abe, the other was a master who was seriously injured, and two onmyoji with no faces. They stopped about twenty meters away from me, and Kenta Abe said in a hoarse voice, "You have lost all your substance, now you should find a way to get out of here first, we can help......"

"Haha......" I laughed angrily, "you can't protect yourself, and you still want to help us, aren't you too kind?" Unfortunately, I don't need your help, and you don't have a chance to wait for your rescue. ”

Kenta Abe was originally a very handsome and aristocratic man, but now he is discouraged, haggard and weak. Summoning the White Tiger had seriously overdrawn his mental and spiritual powers, and he was now so weak that he was not as good as an ordinary person, but he still tried his best to remain calm and straighten his waist: "What do you want?" ”

I said word by word: "I don't fight the water dogs, I leave the jade talisman that originally belonged to the Chinese, and today I let you leave here." ”

Kenta Abe's face twitched: "I didn't bring it with me, and I can't give it to you!" ”

"Then there is nothing to say, you smuggled into the country, tried to steal Chinese cultural relics, and attacked us, and died innocently, I will kill you first, and then go to Japan to snatch it back, whoever dares to stop me will kill whom!"

Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng ran to my side and stopped, Lu Qingwen said: "Don't kill him, detain him as a hostage, and use it to exchange for jade talismans!" ”

"Don't think!" Kenta Abe's face was angry, his face was distorted, he gritted his teeth and pulled out a short knife from his waist, stabbed it into the heart, and roared, "Taro Higashie will avenge me!" ”

We were all stunned for a moment, we didn't expect him to be handsome on the outside, but so strong in heart.

The master who made the single knife thrust the knife into the ground, and tore open the already tattered shirt on the upper body in three or two blows. I thought he was trying to fight hard, but instead he pulled out his katana, knelt down in the direction that could be east, reversed the blade and held the blade with both hands, stabbed himself in the abdomen, and slowly sliced down......

Gao Feng and Lu Qingwen wanted to rush over to stop the other two Onmyoji from committing suicide, but they were stopped by me, although they were enemies, their actions made me awe-inspired, and I couldn't humiliate them.

The two onmyoji also committed suicide, but not as decisive as Kenta Abe, nor as tragic as the Japanese samurai, not everyone has such courage and determination.

"It's a pity, if only I could capture him alive and force his family to exchange it for a jade talisman." Lu Qingwen looked pity.

I shook my head: "They are arrogant people, and they will not exchange jade talismans, which will force them to use more terrible means against my relatives and friends." ”

Gao Feng said: "I don't kill them with my own hands, I always feel unrelieved and hateful." ”

I glanced at him: "Anyway, they died, so what difference does it make if they die?" ”

Lu Qingwen asked, "How do you know that Kenta Abe has a jade talisman in his hand?" ”

"He ambushed us that day, and when he fled, he said that the jade talisman was theirs, and I suspected that he had at least one piece in his hand...... Who is Taro Toe, the number one master in Japan? ”

Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng both shook their heads blankly.

Yun Feiyang and Yu Chengshu both ran over out of breath, glanced at the corpses of the four Japanese and ran into the ruins, not to mention the corpses that had just died, even if there were beauties who had taken off their clothes, they probably had no interest in taking a second look. For them, it is more attractive to them to have broken copper and iron and dried corpses.

Although Kenta Abe said that the jade talisman was not on him, I searched his body carefully and found a lot of bits and pieces, including the ones he used to summon the white tiger. It was a piece of soft and old leather, with the seven Western star charts of the Twenty-Eight Nakshatras connected in the shape of a white tiger, as well as the five stars and mangtu, the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as many words and patterns that I did not recognize. This method of luck is unusable without specific spells, spells, and luck methods, and I can't crack it, but I accept it anyway.

The dagger that Kenta Abe used to commit suicide exudes an icy aura, the handle is inlaid with precious stones and delicate patterns, and there are several ancient inscriptions engraved on the gauntlet, which looks like an antiquity, but there are no signs of wear. I pulled it out and saw that it was only about a foot long, and the two sides of the knife were cast with plum and bamboo patterns, cold light, not dripping blood, without a single gap, just like a new knife.

I didn't find the jade talisman, except for these two things, I'm not interested in anything else, leave it to him to be buried, after all, he is a capable person, I'm sorry to let him go to the underworld empty-handed.

After making sure that there were no enemies, beasts, or evil creatures in the ruins, I walked back to find Liu Ping and Amy, and I was really relieved that I couldn't get a signal. It didn't take long for me to find them, and there was good news, a little further away from the ruins, there was a signal. What's even more coincidental is that Lin Mei called me at this time and told me that everything was fine, and asked me to rest assured and pay attention to safety.

I put my mind at ease and asked Liu Ping and Ai Mei to stay put, and my Qiankun bag contained a full set of tools for field life that I had used before, including tents, iron pots, and rice noodles, so I "changed" them out and set up a foothold first.

I walked back to the ruins. The two experts were rummaging through the tatters, looking very excited, while Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng were bored because they couldn't help, and Yu Chengshu didn't even let them move anything.

"Great expert, have you found anything?"

"Yes, yes, look at this ......" Yu Chengshu took out a scroll of wooden tablets from a jar and carefully spread it on the ground, there were some ghostly handwriting on it, I couldn't read any of them.

Yu Chengshu said excitedly: "This is Lu Wen, which proves that this is one of the ancient countries more than a thousand years ago, or a tribe affiliated with a certain country, in fact, the architectural style here has also proved this, there used to be water here......"

I interrupted him: "Can you recognize the words?" ”

"I understand a little, but it takes a lot of time to study."

I sighed: "Archaeological excavation and sorting can be done slowly, and now I need you to determine which country this ruin belongs to and what major events have happened in the fastest time." ”

Yu Chengshu showed a look of embarrassment, archaeology is a rigorous matter, and it is impossible to draw conclusions in a short time, but he also knows that we don't have much time, and finally said: "Okay, okay, I understand." ”

I walked around and saw many dried corpses and bones, mostly dead at home, the dried corpses were intact, and no knives, guns and arrows were found nearby. These men either died of a sudden illness or died of hunger and thirst.

Yun Feiyang quickly solved the mystery of signal interference, and the black rock here is extremely high in iron, which may be highly magnetic, affecting electronic instruments and signals. Those dark red traces are actually iron oxide, that is, iron embroidery.

Yu Chengshu shouted from the largest ruin at the end of the passage: "Captain, captain, there is important information here...... Oh my God, this is the Exquisite Ancient Country! ”

As we all know, the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom has long been discovered by Stein, and it has been almost a hundred years, Yu Chengshu has told us many stories about the Exquisite Kingdom, but now he says that this is the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom?

We hurried over, this building could be an official residence or a royal palace, and there was a faint glimpse of the splendor and splendor of the past. There was a stone tablet on the floor of the hall, and two dried corpses were nestled next to them, with hammers and chisels in their hands. Yu Chengshu was staring at Lu Wen on the stone tablet, rubbing his hands excitedly.

"No, no, I mistranslated, it should mean something like this: the people of the Peerless Nation hastily left their homeland where they had lived for a long time, and came here to hide from a powerful enemy, and this place can protect them. Far away in between...... No, there was a strange man in the middle of the year, who looked very divine, no, it was he who was as strong as a god and helped them defeat their enemies......"

Yu Chengshu said very confusingly, because this kind of writing has long been lost, and modern people interpret it based on very limited information and speculation, and he does not know what some words mean. I told him not to rush and to study it clearly before speaking completely.

After waiting for a full hour, Yu Chengshu began to tell a very legendary story, and he stated in advance that he could only interpret about fifty percent of the words on the stele, some of the content was speculated by him based on the context, and some details were added by himself for the completeness of the story.

More than 1,600 years ago, the inhabitants of the Elite Country lived on the banks of the Niya River, and they attached great importance to environmental protection, planting a large number of trees in the areas where they lived, and there were laws for domestic water and irrigation of farmland, and wasting water was punished severely. The caravans brought them taxes and fine goods, and they lived in abundance and comfort. Suddenly, one day, a band of strong savages attacked them and defeated them, and from then on these barbarians often demanded all kinds of things from them, and killed them for no reason. Just when they were desperate, a very handsome young man from the Central Plains followed the caravan here and helped them defeat the barbarians again and again. But their water source was destroyed, and they could not withstand the barbarians' attacks, so the boy directed them to settle in another place, where the barbarians' wizarding powers would be limited.
