Chapter 118: The Ancient Tomb in Distress
The energy expert shook his head and explained:
"It's not going to be a polar day phenomenon all the time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is a polar phenomenon of daylight all day long, and it is also time-bound. Our planet rotates, and it will resume its day-night cycle in about a dozen days. However, the night in the desert is very cold. The temperature difference between day and night is very large. Our clothes may not be able to protect against the cold. During the day, I am afraid of being killed by heat, and at night, I don't know if I will freeze to death!"
After hearing this, the tour guide was even more sad.
Master Liu asked them:
"Can you confirm what dynasty these soldiers belong to?"
The historian shook his head and said:
"I can't see it. Their armor and weapons look very ordinary, and they are indeed all from 3,000 years ago, but if you look at them so roughly, you really can't tell which dynasty they are. ”
At this time, the archaeologist, boldly, turned over a piece of armor. He discovered that there was a special symbol in the heart goggles of this armor.
Historians also saw those symbols, and he boldly walked over to look at them. They found that there were really vague text symbols on this armor, and it was written very large, but it was a little blurry and couldn't be seen clearly.
The writing of this text symbol looks very similar to the writing of the text symbol on the golden silk scroll left to them by the "Hundred Flowers Fairy". It seems to be derived from the same system of symbols.
After studying for a while, they said:
"It seems that the words on this armor seem to be the words 'magic flower'. However, I'm not sure it's too dark here. ”
When Master Liu and the tour guide heard the word "magic flower", they became excited.
The tour guide said:
"'Magic Flower'? I remember, it seems that when we went to the 'Divine Beast Restaurant', the Divine Beast Gang' mentioned the 'Millennium Tomb' and the 'Magic Flower Country', right?"
Master Liu nodded and said:
"The cloak of the 'Demon Flower Emperor'. Could this be the ancient tomb? Could it be that the ancient tomb was here before the earth's crust changed? In the desert? But who are these people? Why do these people have the word 'Magic Flower' on their armor? Are they soldiers of the 'Magic Flower Country'? Then why did they fall into an ambush near this ancient tomb?" The soldiers of the 'Demon Flower Country' should be like this, and the 'Demon Flower Emperor's mound should be the forbidden place of the 'Demon Flower Country', right? They can't come here, especially if they still have weapons, it's a big crime!"
The weapons expert said:
"You're quite right. However, it is also possible that they are rebel soldiers. They may also have come here to rob the burial goods in the ancient tomb. Then the number of soldiers guarding the tomb may not be as large as theirs. Only an ambush was set up here to defend this ancient tomb. ”
The tomb research expert shook his head and said:
"It may not be kept. You see, there are so many passages there, and on this wall, in addition to the device for lighting the oil lamp, there is also a place for placing torches, and this one is much rougher than the one for lighting the oil lamp. I think there must have been grave robbers who had entered this place, and they had made so many rough settings with torches. The frescoes are not necessarily broken because of their age, but more like they were destroyed by tomb robbers. You see, some of the murals look like they broke them while they were digging through the passage, and some of them look like the whole mural has been dug up. I didn't expect that someone would buy this kind of mural in the ancient tomb at that time. If no one had bought it, no one would have gone out of their way to poach this. However, it does not look like it was done by these soldiers in that era, it seems to have been done many years after these soldiers died. Therefore, these soldiers may not have come to rob the tomb. ”
The historian said:
"This battle is not necessarily fought for tomb robbing. I feel that there are still people in ambush near this ancient tomb. You see, the dead grass and dead branches of these soldiers when they fell have long since rotted. The dead grass and dead branches we've fallen from aren't completely rotten. It seems that after these soldiers have been dead for many years, there are still people who set up such an ambush at the entrance of the cave. So many of us stepped on it at the same time, and we also used the 'fairy pearl' to avoid part of the covered sand and make the other part of the sand firm, causing the dead grass and dead branches to fall into the hole, and the sand slid down, and the 'fairy pearl' was thrown away, and we and the sand both slipped down. If it weren't for this, the dead branches and grass would not have completely rotted and would have remained at the mouth of the cave for many years. It seems that as long as the dead grass and dead branches rot away, or someone falls into an ambush, someone will rearrange the ambush and put the dead grass and dead branches again. ”
The ancient weapons expert also said:
"Well, I thought so too. I feel like there's a grave keeper here. Generally, the tombs of such emperors were garrisoned by an army guarding the tomb. Even if there is no army, there will be special people in charge of guarding the tomb. I think they put this trap to prevent tomb robbing. Once a person falls in the trap, they come and re-place the dead grass and branches used to set the trap. ”
The tour guide said:
"But, you see that there are already so many passages, hasn't this ancient tomb been stolen and emptied?
The ancient weapons expert said:
"The guards of the tomb may not have come down to inspect it? You look at the design of this cave, you can't get close to it. Moreover, they may not be there to guard the tomb, but they may also be fighting for this terrain. Some terrain is very critical to holding a pass. It could also be to defend a country, such as the 'Magic Flower Country' or something. ”
The tour guide said:
"Didn't you say that this is the soldier of the 'Demon Flower Country'? They have this word on their armor! In that case, how can they not know about this setting, how can they still fall off?"
Ancient weapons expert said:
"It could also be that the rebels, or the soldiers of the enemy country deliberately wore such armor, so that the soldiers of the 'Magic Flower Country' thought that they were also soldiers of the 'Magic Flower Country'. It's hard to say what the situation is going to be. It may also be that not all of the soldiers of the 'Demon Flower Country' are aware of the traps here. It is also possible that you have gone to the wrong place and fallen off. No one found out, and they died. Then, after many years, it was discovered that the dead grass and dead branches of the trap were gone, and they put up the dead grass and dead branches again. ”
The guide looked at the skeletons and said:
"It's horrible. It doesn't matter if he robs tombs or not, or fights wars or not. I just want to know, you people, is there a way to let us out? How are we going to get out? Which direction are we going to go after we get out? Outside, the heat is rolling and the sand is hot. Even if we go out, when we go to the desert, if we can't get out of the desert, we will die of heat in this boundless desert. ”
Master Liu looked at the entrance of the cave, then looked at the tour guide, and said:
"It's not impossible. Aren't you the true body of the 18 Arhats? Haven't you learned the 18 Arhat Formations? Aren't there 18 of your 18 Arhat Formations? Isn't there a 18 Arhat Formation called 'Bronze Walls and Iron Walls'? There are 18 of you, and several of you stand on the shoulders of the other people, and the people stand on top of each other, and together, there are several people as tall as them, and they are stacked into one big Arhat. Well, how are you doing? I can fly to the shoulder of one of your top guys. This is equivalent to standing on the shoulders of a huge arhat, and then I will be able to leap higher and farther. If I can leap out of this funnel-shaped building setting, then I'll be able to get out. I stood firm outside, put the rope down, and then you, one by one, pulled my rope out. Whoever goes out, help me pull the rope, and continue to pull the next person out until you all come out. However, I was afraid that when I stood outside, there would be quicksand under my feet, and it would be difficult for me to stand firmly. Fortunately, this 'fairy pearl' can make me stand firm in the sand. After you come out alone, you'd better help me get the 'fairy beads'. Otherwise, if you put it on the ground, the 'fairy pearl' will rotate and walk away with the movement of the quicksand. Put it in my bag or pocket, I'm afraid it won't work. ”
After hearing this, the tour guide said:
"Otherwise, let's just go back in time! This desert is not good, this tomb is not good, I don't like it here. ”
Master Liu said:
"Stop talking nonsense. We have to get the job done. No matter how many times we cross, we will all be here. Don't waste time. You are ready to be arhats. For a while, I could only pull the rope with one hand and hold the 'fairy pearl' in the other. You eighteen arhats, push the top one out. I'm alone, and I'm afraid it's a little difficult to pull him up with one hand. ”
The guide nodded, and then he and the others got ready.
Hua Ling was also anxious, but she was not a member of the Eighteen Arhats, so she couldn't participate. Her skills were not enough to fly to the entrance of the cave, or like Master Liu, she flew to the top of the Eighteen Arhat Formation and flew out directly. So, she could only wait for them to finally pull her up.
The tour guide, eighteen of them, had just prepared and began to set up a formation. Suddenly, they heard what seemed to be a noise coming from the entrance of the cave.
Master Liu hurriedly and vigilantly ordered everyone to disperse and hide in a position that could not be seen at the entrance of the cave. lest wicked people find them at the entrance of the cave. He also quickly put away the "fairy pearl". lest it shine and attract the attention of outsiders.
After a loud noise, they noticed that the light in the cave was getting dimmer. Eventually, it was pitch black. The tour guide was bold and secretly looked at the entrance of the cave. After seeing it, he screamed in fright, and it turned out that he found that the entrance to the cave was sealed.
At this time, everyone also began to look towards the entrance of the cave. The ancient weapons expert said:
"Oops, I guess someone put dead grass and dead branches on the bottom of the cave and covered it with thick sand. Alas, it seems that they have set a trap again, waiting for the next one to ambush. I'll just say, somebody must have set this trap nearby. Master Liu flew out just now, and they would also be discovered, and they would directly kill the defenseless Master Liu. Thankfully, he didn't fly out. In this way, we can live longer. It's better than going out and dying directly. ”
