The Ancient City of the Desert Chapter 60 The Ancient Tower Underground Palace (1)

Ah Tu obviously knew the mechanism here for a long time, and he skillfully pulled the right side of the jade pillow, and the entire soul jade bed sank downward with a rumbling sound, revealing a black hole. Ah Tu pointed with his hand: "The Ming Tu you are looking for and the exit we are looking for are all below here." Fourth Master Long, I can remind you that the following is very dangerous, so be careful. If the three are long and the two are short, they can only be regarded as having their own lives, don't say that I am treacherous and will not save you. ”

"Hmph, don't drag down the Sprinkle family, who will use you to save it." The scholar said.

Ah Tu took a few of his subordinates and turned his head to enter the cave first. Underneath the entrance to the cave are neatly stacked steps, winding and long, leading to no one. The fourth master took the lead, and we then got in. I thought that this cave must be extremely cold, but I didn't expect it to be very humid and muggy, and the temperature inside the stone tower seemed to be two seasons. The cave was darker, and everyone turned on their headlights. Ah Tu looked back at our headlamps and pouted, his face full of disdain.

"I don't know what kind of exercises this ghost clan has learned, so that they can stay young forever and have excellent eyesight. If we learn this kung fu and go back to set up a beauty institution, wouldn't we make a fortune! The scholar was behind me, muttering as he walked.

"When is this coming, you still have the heart to study business opportunities here, I really convince you." In fact, I am telling the truth, I really admire the scholar very much, and Ya's heart is really big.

The steps are long and twisty. At first, the area around the cave was very narrow, and the more you walked, the more open it became, and by the end, it was as empty as a cave, and the headlamps were shining out, and you couldn't even see the opposite wall.

Coming down from the entrance of the cave, it has been walking for more than ten minutes, and there is nothing else along the way except for a few black-clothed corpses. Atu said that these corpses were all his men, but they were only killed on this step. Now that all the mechanisms here have been dismantled, we can go boldly.

"How do you know about the mechanism here? How can you conclude that it was Ming Tu who was lying on the soul jade bed and not Zhu Li? "I'm curious to know how Atu discovered the secrets here.

"A lot of experience is gained at the cost of it, and the corpses I saw just now are the source of my experience with the mechanism here." Ah Tu is worthy of being a member of the ghost clan, and he doesn't care about the life and death of his subordinates, so he is simply inhumane. He continued: "As for Ming Tu, hehe, you'll know when you see it." ”

Ah Tu must have been here before, and he is familiar with the road, although the road is winding, but we are not moving slowly under his leadership. After walking for about a few minutes, I came to an underground cavern. Judging from the speed and time of travel, this place should have been under the stone tower, so it seems that this is considered the underground palace of the stone tower. There are a few ever-bright lights in the dungeon, I don't know if there is a problem with the fuel or a lack of oxygen here, the wicks are glowing green, very terrible.

When Ah Tu arrived here, he suddenly became very nervous, and whispered: "Fourth Master Long, this is the depths of the underground palace of the stone tower, dozens of meters above the ground. I've already looked, and when the gate of the stone tower is closed, it's the only way to get outside. However, Naruto is here. ”

We relied on the light of the headlamps and the ever-bright lamps to look around, but there was no sign of Mingtu. It's just that on the walls around this dungeon, there are a lot of red characters painted mottled, and I don't know any of these characters. Lao Xu also stared at those characters with full attention, shook his head again and again, and said: "The characters on these stone walls are very peculiar, they are not small seals in the Qin and Han dynasties, they should be the characters of the tribes of the Western Regions or even the tribe of chieftains." ”

"That's not a word, it's a charm!" The fourth master said: "The symbols on the stone walls around here are a kind of spell array, which is used to guard this place and gather energy. I've heard the patriarch say it before, but I didn't expect it to be here. ”

As soon as the fourth master finished speaking, a series of "clucking" sounds came from the shadow at the far end of the dungeon, like a hen crowing. Ah Tu clasped his hands and shouted, "Don't come out yet!" ”

Before the words were finished, a "man" wearing a bronze black mask and a linen robe suddenly popped out of nowhere, and stood in front of us in the blink of an eye. This "person" wears a black jade wrench on the thumb of his left hand and a dark green scepter more than three feet long in his right hand. It was we who came to see the strange man who seemed to be dead and alive on the soul jade bed.

This "man" stared at us and did not move, and we did not dare to move. After a stalemate with each other for a while, Ah Tu spoke first, but he didn't know what to say. We all looked at the fourth master suspiciously, and the fourth master said, "This is ghost language. It is a language unique to their ghost clan, and it is said that they can talk to ghosts. ”

"People talk nonsense, it seems that this Ming Tu is really a living dead." Lao Xu said.

Ah Tu raised his finger and pointed at the fourth master, and then said a few more words. Turning around, he said to the fourth master: "Fourth Master Long, I have been here here with a few of my subordinates before, and I have had a few hands with this old thing. Now he doesn't believe that you are from the Holy Dragon Gate. I know that your Holy Dragon Sect has an identity token, so please light up that old thing. ”

The masked man stared at the fourth master motionlessly, and the fourth master had to take two steps forward and pull out the ancient jade hanging around his neck from the collar. The masked man suddenly let out a few strange screams of "gurgling", rushed to the fourth master at once, leaned over and stared at the ancient jade for a long time. At this moment, like a spring, Ah Tu bounced into the air from the spot, and a Tarzan-style elbow hit the back of the masked man's neck. I thought that the Masked Man would definitely be knocked down by the heavy blow of this surprise attack, and I couldn't help but be shocked. Unexpectedly, the moment the masked man was about to fall to the ground, he disappeared!

We were all stunned, and the fourth master also jumped back in front of us. Ah Tu was even more embarrassed, and the flying foot after the heavy blow kicked directly into the air, and the center of gravity was out of balance and surprised, causing him to fall to the ground hard. Without allowing us to react, Ah Tu had already stood up, his legs sinking, his hands slightly open, and he took a defensive posture. Several people from the ghost clan quickly went over and gathered around Atu.

The fourth master shouted angrily: "Atu, why are you? ”

"Fourth Master Long, let me tell you the truth. We've been here before, and this old thing is neither a human nor a ghost, but a living dead. I'm no match for him at all, but the only way out is in this dungeon. Originally, I wanted to join forces with you, and with your identity as a member of the Holy Dragon Gate, I hoped that this old thing would open up and let us go. However, when I talked to him just now, this old thing said that he would only let people out of the same door. We ghosts and your friends have to stay here. I had to do it first. ”

After listening to Ah Tu's explanation, everyone's faces changed. A few of us know about Atu's skills. With all his strength, he failed to subdue the masked man, which shows how powerful this "person" is. Now this "person" has told Atumin that only the fourth master is allowed to leave. Looks like we're all going to have to bury him here.

The fourth master waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Senior, in the next dragon to rise from the fan." The 106th generation of the Holy Dragon Sect. My friends and I trespassed into the treasure land without malice, and it was originally in pursuit of a sacred relic of my religion. Please make it convenient for my seniors to allow a few of us to go out. ”

"Hey, hey, I said Fourth Master Long, don't bother. That old thing doesn't understand what you're saying. Besides, even if you understand, you may not be able to listen to you. Atu said.

Everyone watched the surroundings vigilantly, not daring to be careless. The surrounding lights flickered on and off, and the atmosphere was eerie. Suddenly, I vaguely smelled a hint of aroma, like sandalwood and like ink, which was very useful.

Other people seemed to smell the aroma as well, and the scholar smiled and said, "Linglong girl, what kind of perfume are you using, it smells so good." ”

Linglong patted the scholar on the shoulder and said, "Auntie, I never use any perfume, don't think nonsense." ”

Ah Tu shouted: "Not good! Hold your breath and close your eyes! It's the old thing's hypnotism, and the black jade wrench in his hand can create illusions. Hold your mind, don't be fooled! ”

We quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, gathered our breath, and closed our eyes. The voice of the fourth master came from his ears: "From now on, remember not to open your eyes and believe whatever you hear." Everything is an illusion. ”

My heart was pounding, and my nervousness was rushing up. Fortunately, the aroma is very good, and unconsciously, it is a little more relaxed. Originally, my body was exhausted after tossing all the way, but now I closed my eyes tightly, sat cross-legged on the ground, smelled the aroma, and sleepiness continued to invade. I kept reminding myself in my heart, hold on, hold on, and never sleep. But my brain and body didn't listen to my command at all, and I fell into a state of half-sleep and half-awake in a groggy state. At this moment, as if someone was gently scratching my ear, a familiar voice came: "Xiao Nan, why are you here?" "It's grandma's voice. I was shocked, I was sleepy, why did your old man come here. Before he was in a hurry, he forgot the advice of the fourth master and opened his eyes suddenly.

The surroundings were not the dim and stuffy dungeon caves at all, but the courtyard of an old-fashioned bungalow. Two small jujube trees waved their leaves in the wind, and a big yellow dog lay lazily on the ground of the steps. The door of the hall was open, and Grandma, wearing an apron, sat on a bench next to a small floor table with a lot of dishes on it. When he saw me, he smiled and said, "Xiao Nan, you're here." Come and eat, grandma made you your favorite stir-fried pork. ”

I approached the hall and looked at my grandmother's kind face, and I felt very kind. It's just, where the hell is this. Perhaps seeing my doubts, my grandmother said, "This is our old house, and you were born here." Xiao Nan, look, I've cleaned up the house for you. This time, I'll stay for a while. ”

I nodded involuntarily and said okay, I won't leave this time. Grandma was very happy to hear this, smiled and took my hand, sat on the small bench, and kept putting vegetables in my bowl. I felt a strange feeling in my heart. It's not quite right, why did my grandmother use her left hand to pick up vegetables for me, I have the impression that she has always used her right hand. casually asked, "Grandma, when did you learn to use chopsticks with your left hand?" Why does the right hand hang down all the time? Are you alright? ”

Grandma still smiled and said, "Everyone uses this hand to pick up vegetables, Xiao Nan, isn't it?" Right hand? Grandma is holding something in her right hand. ”
