Chapter 301, On the Ground City
The wind stopped.
Everyone gathered around Qingshi, and expressed their admiration for Qingshi's wind control technique, Qingshi couldn't help but be modest, but secretly took out two Hui Qi Pills and took them.
Wind control not only requires the use of spiritual power, but also the consumption of true qi is also very huge.
Everyone soon spotted the spire of the building that was outcropping from the ground, and everyone was in high spirits, so they immediately set off for it.
Seven or eight miles of land soon came to the spire of the largest building, and Qingshi found that this should be the roof of a large palace-like building, which was completely composed of thick and wide stone slabs, and it seemed that it was only buried by yellow sand, and there was no sign of collapse.
There are also two stone building spires near this roof, and it is obvious that there are many man-made buildings buried under the yellow sand here, and there is no doubt that it is Shenlong City.
Although the Divine Dragon City was found, the current Divine Dragon City was buried under the yellow sand, and it was not easy to dig it out. Duan Wutian, Ah Dong, Ah Xi, and A Nan tried to dig down the palace spire, but found that it didn't work at all, because digging down, the quicksand around would be backfilled, and if you wanted to dig down, you had to transport all the sand dug out far away.
Qingshi asked Luoluo Mountain, knowing that the above-ground part of this Shenlong City is about two hundred zhang in length and width, and Qingshi estimates that the yellow sand is about two zhang deep, according to this calculation, Qingshi found that the yellow sand that needs to be dug up is an astronomical amount, and the nine of them will dig like this for at least a few months, plus hundreds of puppets, I am afraid it will take ten days and half a month.
Asked again about the entrance to the underground dragon palace of Luoluo Mountain, but Luoluo Mountain did not know the specific location, Qingshi thought a little and decided that he still needed to use the wind to do it, so he asked everyone not to dig again, and waited patiently for the dawn to come the next day.
Qingshi set up a pergola and sat in it to recover his true qi and spiritual power, and the others were bored, either trying to find a place to dig down for a while, or looking for Luo Luoshan to ask him to take out the clue information and study it, trying to find out the location of the entrance to the underground Dragon Palace, and so on, the time quickly passed noon.
Soon after the afternoon, a strong wind blew again in the desert, and it was not surprising that the wind did not blow only at dawn in the desert.
Seeing the strong wind coming, Qingshi immediately cast the wind control spell again to blow the sand by wind.
This time, Bluestone has a specific goal, and the range of sand blowing that needs to be controlled has been reduced tenfold, so the efficiency of controlling sand blowing has been greatly improved.
The wind came from the east, under the control of bluestone, it no longer blows in a fan, but forms a spectacular tornado, the bottom of this tornado is about 30 zhang in diameter, and the height is more than 500 zhang, it is like a winding and writhing dragon rushing back and forth in this area, sucking the yellow sand on the ground into the air and then sprinkling it to the northwest.
The wind lasted for three full hours, and the tornado sucked in the yellow sand for three hours. At sunset, the wind seemed to suddenly lose momentum and soon stopped.
The wind and sand stopped, and the dust settled.
What appears in front of everyone's eyes is a huge yellow sand basin, and inside it is a magnificent ancient city.
Walking along the sloping sand surface into the ancient city, a group of nine people were amazed by the city's magnificent architecture and exquisite stone carvings.
All the buildings in the city are made of heavy boulders, including the roof, which is made of large stone slabs, and almost all of the buildings remain intact. Although these buildings are thick and imposing, their walls and roof corners are carved with many exquisite stone carvings and patterns.
The wide avenues are also paved with boulders, and apart from the corners between the corners and the buildings, there is still a little yellow sand left, and the floor of the whole city seems to have been freshly swept and clean.
Everyone walked on the empty street, looking at the tall and exquisite stone buildings on both sides, and their hearts were full of emotion.
"Boss Luo," Bai Sha said, "This Divine Dragon City is actually built of boulders, and I think it is more appropriate to call it Stone City." Where did they get so many stones? ”
"I know that," said Loroyama, "and they take the local materials, and they cut the rocks into pieces and drag them up to the ground. In this way, there is a huge space underground as a dungeon, and there are so many stones on the ground to build the above-ground city. ”
"Oh my God!" Chen Tianye sighed, "To mine so many stones from the ground, what a lot of work!" ”
"To others, it's appalling!" Luo Luoshan said, "But for the Desert Divine Dragon, this is just a piece of cake. ”
"Huh?" Duan Wutian asked, "Why?" ”
"Let me ask you a question," Luo Luoshan said with a smile, "Let's take our search for this Divine Dragon City, if we start digging sand, it will probably take several months to dig out this Divine Dragon City, but why can your old sea be able to do it in a few hours?" ”
"Well, this one!" Duan Wutian said, "This is because our boss has understood the way of the wind and mastered the art of wind control!" ”
"That's right!" Luo Luoshan said with a smile, "The Desert Divine Dragon has mastered the way of gold and the way of earth, and for him, cutting these boulders and transporting them out is as simple as Haiya using the wind to blow sand. ”
"Oh!"
It dawned on everyone together.
"Boss Luo," Qingshi said, "I remember you once told the Five Elements Catcher that this business was definitely tempting for Jin Yi and Earth Five, and you mean that the Desert Divine Dragon might have left his comprehension of the Tao of Gold and Earth behind him, right?" ”
"Yes!" Luo Luoshan said, "According to the clues I know, the Desert Divine Dragon has indeed left his inheritance. I can promise you that if you can get the treasure and inheritance of the Desert Divine Dragon this time, you can copy these secret books and Dao Treasures and other things, as long as they are suitable for your cultivation. ”
After listening to Luo Luoshan's words, everyone's hearts warmed up, so everyone began to disperse, looking for the entrance to the dungeon separately.
The dragon is not big on the ground, the building is unconventional, its north-south central axis is a wide and straight avenue, the northernmost end is a palace, its spire is the first part to be seen on the ground, the center is a circular square, and the southernmost point is a temple dedicated to the desert dragon, from the statue in the temple, the desert dragon is indeed a person.
Everyone quickly searched the entire Shenlong Underground City, but they did not find any entrance to the dungeon. Naturally, they all entered the palaces, temples, and some luxurious-looking buildings, but they did not find any treasures and treasures, and everyone was disappointed, so they all gathered in the central square.
"Boss Luo," Bai Sha said, "don't you really have the slightest clue about the entrance to the dungeon?" ”
"No," said Loroshan, "from the clues I have gotten, the underground city and the dungeon are originally one, and there is more than one entrance. In order to make it easier for people to get in and out, these entrances and exits should not be built in hidden places, but on the contrary, they should be in public places, such as near this square. ”
"Boss Luo," Qingshi said after thinking for a moment, "I remember you said that before the Desert Divine Dragon died, he turned the underground palace into his own cemetery, and used his inheritance and the most important treasures as burial objects. Judging from the current situation, I think he didn't just use the underground palace as a tomb, he should have used the entire underground city as his own tomb, so these entrances and exits were sealed. ”
"Makes sense!" Luo Luoshan nodded and said, "Actually, we can further guess that this Shangcheng is also part of his tomb, and they buried it on purpose. ”
Hearing what Qingshi and Luo Luoshan said, everyone felt that it made sense, so they began to guess the location of the entrance. After some discussion, most people felt that the most likely location for the entrance should be in the square where they are now. Finally, Loro Hill claps the board and excavates from the center of the square.
Luo Luoshan instructed Ah Dong Ah Xi and Ah Nan to take out a large number of excavation tools from their respective storage containers, and then let everyone dig with their own tools. Qingshi said with a smile, such a simple manual work can be handed over to the puppet, where do you need to do it yourself.
Qing Duan Chen and the three of them each took out two teams of puppets and asked them to collect their blades and replace them with digging tools such as sharp-beaked hoes, T-shaped pickaxes, and earth-moving frames. After a simple debugging, the puppets began to dig with their hands.
Luo Luoshan and the others looked at these puppets, they couldn't believe their eyes, it was not unusual for puppets to be excavated, but such a large and numerous puppets could be stored in storage, which made them amazed.
In the environment where the aura is thin, the puppets of the bluestone are very insensitive to the perception of the outside world, and they look dull and slow, but they can't fight, and the simple work of digging earth and stones is not a problem.
After more than an hour, a big pit was dug in the center of the square, when the big pit was dug to a depth of five zhang, a large flat stone appeared at the bottom of the pit, bluestone then commanded the puppets to dig around, and soon, the shape of the whole pit was revealed, it was square, the bottom side was about 20 zhang long, the east and west sides were wide stone stairs, and the north and south sides were huge stone walls, and there were two tall and heavy stone doors on each wall. Obviously, these two stone gates are the entrances to the dungeon.
The three of them took the puppet, and everyone walked down the stone stairs down the big pit and came to the big stone gate on the south side.
Luo Luoshan commanded Ah Dong and Ah Nan to step forward and push the door, the two stepped forward, each stretched out their palms against a door and began to push violently, the stone door shook slightly, it didn't seem to be tied to death, but because it was closed for too long, the door shaft did not rotate smoothly. The two of them tried again, but they still couldn't push the door open.
"Let me try!"
Duan Wutian stepped forward, and pushed the two doors of the stone gate with both palms violently, and the two stone doors were actually pushed open by him with a bang. Whether it was Ah Dong, Ah Nan, or Luo Luo Mountain's black and white demons, they couldn't help but be impressed by Duan Wutian's divine power.
Behind the stone gate is a stone staircase that slopes downward, the passage of this stone staircase is about three zhang high, the width is not less than five zhang, each step of the stone staircase is about one foot high, and the width is three feet, which is wide and magnificent.
As the stone door opened, a soft and bright light slowly lit up in the passage, which was the light emitted by the illuminated spiritual artifacts inlaid on the top of the passage and the stone walls on both sides, these illuminated spiritual artifacts seemed to have a sense of the outside air, and as soon as the stone door opened, they lit up.
"Brothers," Luo Luoshan said, "since this dungeon is a tomb, the Desert Divine Dragon will definitely set up a magic circle mechanism or trap in order to prevent people from robbing the tomb. We have to be careful.
"Let's still move forward in detachments, let's go to the front, Haiya, you guys go behind us, black and white, you two break behind. Let's not get too close to each other and don't get too far apart. Now that we've entered here, we're all in the same boat, and when we're in danger, we're going to help each other and help each other, understand? ”
Everyone nodded yes.
Luo Luoshan pulled out the black giant sword on his back and held it in his hand, and took the lead in stepping into the stone gate and walking down, and everyone rushed in according to his arrangement, and began to march towards the dungeon.
