Chapter 856: Bad City?
Xiao An said it because he was too excited, He Xiaodong and He Hao looked up at the same time, and found that the top of their heads really seemed to be an ocean, Xiao An was just shocked about the scene of the "ocean" above his head, and suddenly a camel bell came!
This camel bell made the three people present feel a shock! Because all three remember what the sound represents! The three of them looked in the direction where the voice came from at the same time, and sure enough, a cold ghost aura came! Xiao An looked in the direction where the yin qi was drifting, and sure enough, he saw an old man with a long beard, wearing a small melon skin hat and a gray robe! Although Xiao An has no cultivation in his body, Xiao An is very sure that this is a powerful ghost! Because this kind of breath is familiar to me!
Xiao An and He Hao reacted relatively normally, just frowning and looking at the visitor, but He Xiaodong was different, he was already stunned when he heard the camel bell, because that voice was too special for him! That's the memories of childhood, that's the taste of childhood.
The camel rider led three camels, these three camels were tall and strong, and the three camels were carrying a big bag of supplies on their backs, only to see the old man see the three people, put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly, "Friends from afar, I am a local camel guest, do you know the way out?" ”
He Xiaodong was about to speak, Xiao An stretched out his hand to stop He Xiaodong, and looked at the camel rider with a solemn face, "We also accidentally fell into here!" How did you get in? ”
The camel rider thought for a while, "I remember that I was going to Pailon to deliver goods, and when I walked to the middle of the desert, there was a sandstorm, the weather in the desert, I can't say, and then I fainted, isn't it, I just woke up a few days ago and appeared here inexplicably!" I can't find my way out either! Can you take me out of the desert? ”
Xiao An looked at the old camel rider, his face was full of kindness, this face did not match his identity as a ghost, so he asked again, "How long have you been here, do you remember?" ”
The camel rider thought for a moment, "It feels like a few days!" That's right! Do you have water? ”
Xiao An shook his head: "No! The camel rider sighed, then turned around and took out a naan from the camel behind him, and handed it to Xiao An, along with several beef jerky, "You must be hungry, eat some to cushion your stomach first!" There is no water, but let's eat some! ”
Xiao An frowned and took the "food", You Yi said, "It's all phantom, in fact, there is nothing!" Xiao An also knew, because he didn't feel the slightest weight when he received the naan and jerky! That's very strange! Xiao An pretended to hand this phantom to He Hao and He Xiaodong behind him, He Xiaodong's eyes were full of tears, and he picked up the non-existent naan and dried meat and began to chew!
He Hao also took the naan and jerky, and asked Xiao An in a low voice, "Leader, can you eat this?" ”
Xiao An: "You can eat it!" Rest assured! It's not hungry, but it's not a problem! He Hao took a tentative bite, and sure enough, it had a taste and texture! People can't see it here, so it's normal to eat it quickly.
Xiao An also knew that the camel rider had no malicious intentions, so he looked up at the sky, "How can we go underwater?" Is there water here? ”
The camel rider also looked up, "There are indeed oases in the desert sometimes, but the area should not be so large, and depending on the color, the water should be very deep!" ”
Xiao An: "You've been here for so long, have you found anything?" ”
The camel man shook his head, "I didn't find anything, this city is surrounded by walls, and the city gates are also closed, so I can't get in or get out." ”
Xiao An: "Isn't there a gate?" ”
Camel riders "have gates!" And there is not just one gate, there are four gates! ”
Xiao An: "Four? ”
Camel Rider: "I don't believe you're coming with me!" After that, the camel rider led the camel's head to lead the way, and Xiao An and the three of them followed, and Xiao An didn't go far before he saw the gate, a domed gate with a length of seventeen or eighteen meters and a width! The left and right doors of the gate are made of heavy gloomy wood, the workmanship is very good, there is no gap between the wood and the wood, the outer edge is made of heavy iron plates, and the door panel of the gate is neatly inlaid with 99 copper nails! The knocker is a bit strange, the general knocker is a beast or a mythical beast, and the knocker of this huge city gate is actually a snake head! And open the mouth to reveal the head of the two fanged poisonous snakes inside!
Xiao An nodded as if he understood something, He Hao asked, "Leader, what do you understand?" ”
Xiao An said: "This is an imperial city! ”
He Hao: "Imperial City? ”
Xiao An pointed to the copper nails on the door, "The copper nails on this gate are called door nails, and the number of inlays is strictly regulated, such as the door nails on the palace gate of Roast Duck City, there are nine rows of door nails on each door, nine in a row, a total of nine nine hundred and eighty-one!" In ancient times, people believed that "nine" was the largest number, so the door nails of the palace were ninety-nine eighty-one, representing the supremacy and full strength, but the doornails of Donghua Gate were one less row, only eight rows, and each row was also nine, do you know why? ”
He Xiaodong and He Hao shook their heads, and Xiao An continued, "Because that's left for civil and military officials to go to court!" This Donghua Gate can only be used by civil and military officials, so there are nine fewer nails to distinguish it from the royal family."
He Xiaodong: "Can there be a door nail on the door of the official's own house?" ”
Xiao An said, "Of course there are, but there are also differences according to the level of the position, for example, the door of the palace, there are usually only sixty-three door nails on it, if it is a prince, it is even less than forty-nine, and then the officials seem to have twenty-five...... When you get to the people's homes, you are not allowed to have door nails at all! That's why the people are also called Bai Ding! ”
The camel rider stroked his beard at this time and said, "Friend, what are the ninety-nine nails on this gate?" ”
Xiao An: "It should be like proving that he is more noble than the royal family!" The door nail is actually not the main thing, the main thing is the knocker! The snake on this knocker is a bit quirky! After that, he took a few steps back and looked up, "This knocker is obviously not designed for human use, and such a high wall and gate are also outrageously large, I doubt it...... There may not be people living in this city! ”
At this time, Yuyi said, "Hey? What do you see here? Xiao An looked back at Youyi, Youyi was standing next to a wooden platform, there was a picture carved on the wooden platform, Xiao An looked at this picture with a confused face, and couldn't understand it at all, at this time Jing'er understood, "This seems to be the design of the city...... But ......"
Xiao An hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong? ”
Jing'er: "This city as a whole is a king, and it is unusually large!" But above this city there are four small cities, which should be for human habitation, but these four small cities should be above the royal city, and there is a passage leading directly to the interior of the royal city! ”
Xiao An: "To the inside? Above? So did we really fall? ”
Jing'er: "Yes! And from the picture, it seems that the music is arranged here...... Bad word! ”
Xiao An: "Oops? ”
Xiao An thought for a while, "No! We'll have to go in and have a look! ”
You Yi spoke at this time, "No, it's too late!" Let's go back first, and wait until it gets dark tomorrow! ”
Xiao An: "I guess we won't be able to go back!" ”
What does "Yuyi" mean? ”
Xiao An: "We should have fallen, and the depth of the fall is not shallow, so we shouldn't be able to go back." ”
Yuyi: "Oh, well, aren't you dead?" ”
Xiao An: "Die, if you die, you can be with you completely!" ”
Yuyi blushed, "I hate it!" Slippery! ”
Jing'er rolled her eyes, "You two are so disgusting!" While my head brother is not here, show me affection! Come on! Anyway, we can't get out, let's find a way out! ”
Xiao An and Youyi asked together, "Go down?" Where? ”
Jing'er: "Judging from the picture, below these four cities that look like boxes is a Kunlun giant tree!" Underneath the giant tree is a pool! The box of golden sand directly above the giant tree is the mechanism, as long as the golden sand on the mechanism is a little less, the giant tree will rise because of the buoyancy, once it rises, the wooden stick of the giant tree will break, and the whole city will fall! What we have to do now is to find a way to enter Wang Zicheng! It wasn't written on the drawing, but I think it should be in it. ”
Xiao An nodded, "Okay!" After that, he said to the two behind him: "Search inside!" There should be a passage inside! ”
He Hao and He Xiaodong nodded: "Yes!" "After that, the three of them split up and entered the box city to find the so-called passage! Although the box city is not as big as the royal city, but the three of them are still a little laborious in it, the three of them are looking for it door to door, you Yi and Jing'er also help to find, Jing'er can't be too far away from Xiao An now, so she can only help Xiao An find it by Xiao An's side, Yu Yi thinks that the passage should not be far from the mechanism, so he went back to the room where the golden sand is placed, but there is almost nothing in the room, and there is nothing to find for a long time, just when Yu Yi is about to leave, Yu Yi sees something on the side of the door, which is swinging back and forth by the wind.
You Yi stepped forward to check and found that there was an iron piece pasted on the door, and it was humanoid! There is also a magnet in the position of the hand! As soon as I recalled, I understood the principle, it turned out that when the box city fell, the door swayed back and forth due to vibration, and the iron piece of this metal just closed the door when the magnet in the hand of the iron piece man closed the door when the door was about to close! It was as if someone had closed it, and the closed door was similar in color to the Iron Man, so it was impossible to tell the difference.
At this time, a signal flare was fired in the northwest corner of Box City, it seemed that someone had found the passage, and Yu Yi quickly rushed there, at this time Xiao An and He Xiaodong also happened to arrive, only to see that the courtyard where He Hao was located was empty, there was nothing in it, only a well in the middle of the yard! Xiao An looked at the well in the middle of the courtyard, "Is this a passage?" ”
He Hao nodded: "Yes!" It should be! There's wind blowing in there, and there's some traces of tools! After that, he pointed to the edge of the wellhead, and sure enough, there were traces left by the friction of something similar to a cylindrical shape!
Xiao An nodded, "Good job!" I'll go down and have a look! You two are on it, and as soon as I pull the rope hard, you two pull me up!" ”
He Xiaodong: "But the head of the regiment, the rope has long been used up!" ”
Xiao An: "Huh? ”
