Chapter 29 Eyes
Sand Sea Devil's Nest 18
Just as he was about to go up, Ye Yixin suddenly woke up by the morning breeze on the tower. Shirley Yang took out the kettle and fed her some clean water. She was still very weak, but now it was much more reassuring than when she was unconscious. Her dehydration was still very obvious, but there was no need to worry about her life for the time being. Since she woke up, it would be fine if she was treated with a lot of cold saline water within a day or two.
We were all eager to know what was strange and weird on the tower, so we looked for the entrance to the ancient city's underground palace, so we helped her to the fifth floor of the Black Tower.
During the brief process of walking up to the fifth floor of the Black Tower, I thought about all kinds of possibilities, but I didn't expect that the fifth floor was empty, and there was not even the base of the stone statue, but there were more cipher texts on the walls.
I asked Professor Chen: "Is this floor damaged or stolen?"
Professor Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. Just look at the upper floor to know what's the name here."
The stone statue in the black tower aroused everyone's curiosity, and I couldn't wait to go up the steps in the tower to the top. In the tower on the highest level, there was a black throne standing on it. On the seat was a statue of a woman, with gorgeous clothes and a veil-carved face. Her appearance was not visible. But at a glance, you can see that the stone statue is exactly the same as the Jingjue Queen depicted on the mural of Prince Pu Mo's ancient tomb. The stone statues of the four queens are all in their bodies.
Everyone was talking about it, guessing what the queen looked like.
I couldn't think of a reason, so I asked them: "What is the medicine sold in this queen's gourd? Why don't even show the statues to others in their true faces?"
The fat man replied, "In my opinion, it's just a casual silence. What's the most beautiful woman in the Western Regions? She is probably a shameful ugly monster. Otherwise, would she be afraid of people to see if she hides her so much? But her figure is really a matter of time. If the plate is not good, the sticks will be smooth."
I said you have accumulated some virtue in your mouth. People have been dead for two thousand years. You still look at the quality of others. Look at the things in this city, how similar are to those legends. If this queen is really a monster, you may jump out and bite you. Don’t guess it. Let’s just listen to what the professor said.
Since he went up to the sixth floor of the Black Tower, Professor Chen has never spoken and has been connecting these clues in his mind. At this time, he was almost thinking. He heard us ask, and then he said: "I said before that this stone tower is likely to be a spiritual symbol, with obvious hierarchical characteristics, high to low, and it is from noble to low. The people of Jingjue Kingdom are mainly composed of the ghost cave tribe. This nation has long been extinct and no bones have been unearthed at present, so it is impossible to infer the origin and background of this race. So far, our biggest discovery is that this race uses the eyes as the totem, which is definitely a major breakthrough in the study of ancient Western Regions civilization. With this basis, many mysteries that have troubled scholars for many years will be solved."
The fat man asked again: "Then why is this fifth floor empty?"
I suddenly thought of us in Prince Pu Mo's ancient tomb. When I heard what Shirley Yang said, I couldn't help but blurt out: "Immortal space."
Professor Chen nodded slightly and said, "It is precisely that above the Guardian God, there is an indescribable imaginary space, and the queen is above it, as if she is completely controlling this unknown space. There is also an eye-shaped totem on the top of the tower, which shows that the queen's power also comes from her eyes."
When everyone heard this, they were inevitably feeling a little scared. Could it be that there is such a space in this world that exceeds human common sense? And the queen can control the other world through her eyes. Wouldn't she really be a monster? Fortunately, she is dead.
Professor Chen saw that everyone was worried, so he continued, "You don't need to be nervous. Most ancient rulers used these myths to fool the people, so that they could consolidate their ruling status. Just think that the emperors in the Central Plains all said that they were the true dragon emperor and gave them the order to heaven, but in fact? It was just a means of fooling the people. It is not surprising that this queen never showed her face and pretended to be a god or a ghost. But these ancient monuments have extremely high value for studying ancient history and culture, and this stone tower is of great significance."
We saw that there was nothing else in the black tower except stone statues, so we looked down from the tower and saw that the entire Jingjue City was mixed with the yellow sand in the desert. The outline of the ruins of the ancient city was also the shape of a huge eye.
After reading it, Professor Chen asked me, "Brother Hu, you have a very good understanding of Feng Shui. How do you think about Feng Shui in this city?"
I thought to myself that the first priority now is to find the water source in the palace. Why did this old man test me again? Does the professor think that the queen's tomb is just below the palace, so he carefully looked at the surrounding geographical situation.
I pointed to the Zagrama Shuangshan in the north and said, "Professor, the black mountain range is mostly like a black dragon in a desert, and it can only be broken in the middle. One dragon turns into two snakes. In my humble opinion, the valley in the middle was dug by hand, and the stones that bloomed in the mountains may have been used as raw materials for the black towers and stone people in the city. In ancient times, emperors all began to prepare their tombs for a hundred years from the time they ascended the throne. If this ancient city really had groundwater veins, and this thorn.
Grama echoed each other from a distance, forming a momentum of static and dynamic. I believe that the Queen Jingjue was also a talented and intelligent man. Knowing that the black dragon was not auspicious, he mobilized human power to cut off the black dragon and nail it to protect its tomb forever. This city formed an excellent treasure cave. If the Queen's tomb was really in the city, it would definitely be quite large, so I can't understand one thing. Professor, you said that her palace was underground, and I think the ancient tomb was also underground, which would be a bit cramped."
Professor Chen praised: "Sure enough, I think the palace and the ancient tomb are indeed underground in the city, but they are not crowded together. They may be divided into three layers. This layer on the ground is a castle, and the underground layer is a palace. The deepest part is the tomb of Queen Jingjue. Jingjue's country is powerful and drives 100,000 slaves from small countries around. Even Mount Nazarama can open a valley. Although the underground palace and tomb are large, they can also be done."
It is said that more than once explorers have visited this ancient city, but the yellow sand is constantly moving by the wind, and they are completely unable to find their traces. Some of them may have entered the underground palace, but it is completely unproven, so naturally they cannot see where those people entered the underground palace.
In the ancient city of Jingjue Kingdom, we knew that the royal city was at our feet, but we couldn't find the entrance. The ones at the top were so anxious that we looked at each street, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, and finally found a stone building in the city that was higher than an ordinary house, covering it with a layer of yellow sand. If we didn't look carefully, it would be really difficult to find it.
It seems that this is the only clue. We hurriedly arrived near. The building seemed to be a temple, also made of Zagrama black stone. The stone gate created a big mouth of a giant beast, and a large amount of yellow sand was piled up at the door. The fat man and I dug a passage, and everyone brought gas masks and illuminated it with cold fireworks to move forward.
The stone hall is very grand, with 2816 giant stone pillars, but the front door is blocked by yellow sand, and there is no sand inside.
On the deepest floor in the hall, this jade eyeball is enshrined. There are naturally formed red silks in the jade and blue pupils, with clear layers, almost real.
I was so surprised that I was very happy. I must be worthwhile. Even if I just looked at it and touched it, I would not be in vain to go into the desert. It was such a magical weapon. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have thought that there would be such treasures in the world.
The fat man couldn't help but wanted to move the jade eyeball down and put it into his backpack. After using Zhilian several times, the eyeball seemed to have a root on the floor, and it didn't move at all.
Professor Chen was afraid that the fat man would be strong and ruined the ancient magical object, so he quickly pulled him away so that he could not move around. Shirley Yang found a groove on the eyeball of the jade, which was strange in shape, which was very similar to the fat man's jade pendant, so he said to the fat man: "Try putting your family-born jade pendant on it, it seems to be a mechanism."
