Chapter 112 Exploring the Ancient City

During these busy days, Yan has 12 points of energy, one is to guard against the crow killer who is still missing, and the other is to keep an eye on the excavation progress of the ancient city.

The expedition team picked up a lot of broken bricks, as well as polished seashell pieces and some rough and fragile black fabrics. Yan didn't let them throw them away like garbage, but carefully sorted them out by categories and gave them to those who know how to go. Research and save.

The knowledgeable people are naturally Helian Uro and Taiwei Keer. For Helian Uro, not only is Taiwei Keer familiar with the ancient Xiliang characters, but he can also clearly distinguish which ones are left over from modern times and which ones are real antiques. And very surprised.

After all, all the dug out are black and incomplete, wrapped in silt. Before cleaning them up, no one can know the general idea after weighing them twice.

The most bizarre thing is that a person as erudite and powerful as Helian Uro should be famous in epigraphy circles, but Taviker has never heard of his name, especially since he often goes to the library of the Priest Tower to borrow ancient books I had a great conversation with those crow spirit warlocks who are proficient in epigraphy, why didn't anyone introduce Helian Uro to him?

Could it be said that Helian Uro was a sinner exiled from the Priest Tower?But if it wasn't for committing unforgivable crimes, such as casting forbidden spells and killing colleagues, the Tower of Priests would not exile Raven Spirit Warlocks.

Taivikir was deeply worried about this, so he reported his doubts to Yan.

Yan knew that the big guy deeply admired and was very afraid of "Helian Wuluo", and he still had all kinds of wild guesses, so he asked Helian Wuluo to explain it himself.

Helian Uro was not too polite, and he said on stage that he was the most powerful gold and stone scholar in the Priest Tower. He knew astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom.And this epigraphy is inseparable from field investigations, so he has been exploring outside, collecting ancient books, inscriptions and other rare things from different eras for the Priest Tower.

Because he has been traveling all year round and rarely goes back, so that most of the crow spirit warlocks don't know him, but he has made a lot of contributions to the tower of priests. Most of the things in the library are brought back by him of.If there is such a thing as a stele of merit, then he is number one, even more capable than the old priest Bai Mufa.

Yan originally wanted Usman to introduce himself, to eliminate everyone's suspicion and estrangement, and it was almost done, but he didn't expect him to be so good at bragging, let alone people, this elephant can be blown to the sky by him.In addition, he was too aware of the treasures hidden in the priest's tower, and he answered all the questions of Taiweikeer fluently, so this show off made Taiweikel stunned for a while.

After that, Taivikr changed his name to Helian Uro as "Master". The words "Master" on the left and "Master" on the right made the people around him respect Helian Uro. Luo is indeed very good at excavation work, surpassing the supposed "boss" Taiwei Keer, so except for the guide Kurdan who can say a few words that are not salty, no one questioned his identity. fake.

Yan walked down from the city wall and stood in front of a stone gate filled with sand and gravel.It was just dug up this morning, and Tyvekir said that they could use gunpowder to blow it open, and they would be able to enter the city of Kul, which was buried under the sand.

But Yan was worried that the explosives would destroy the unstable ground. They were standing in the middle and upper part of the ancient city. Also, how could the door be pressed in such a position? Could it be some kind of trap?

Taivikr asked Helian Uro to explain.When Yan arrived, Helian Wuluo was asking people to drill holes around the stone gate to bury gunpowder.

"Queen, you came just in time." When Helian Uro saw Yan, he pulled off his mask and smiled slightly, "Finally, we have found a breakthrough."

"This door can indeed be blown up?" Tevikr asked for proof.

"Yes, but this is not a door, but the skylight on the top of the sacrificial tower, so it doesn't matter if it blows up." Helian Wuluo said, his eyes were always looking at Yan.

"How do you know..." Yancai felt redundant when he asked, how could Usman not know, he and Taivikir have been studying the layout of Kule City.

"Because this window faces the Beacon Tower in a straight line, when the sacrificial tower gives any order, such as 'increase defense', etc., the priest or the city lord will order someone to open this stone window and send a signal to the Beacon Tower." Helian Uro still explained Once again, with a smile on his face, full of confidence, and even a little "reward" in his crooked eyebrows and eyes.

Everyone only thought that Helian Uro was flattering the queen, so his attitude towards Yan was extraordinarily warm.

Yes, on the day when Helian Wuluo confessed his identity, he also frankly admitted that he knew that Chunyuyan was the queen of Xiliang, and said that he would be loyal to him.

"Now that you've confirmed it, prepare to explode." Yan's face was a little hot, probably because Usman's blatant "flirting" made him a little ashamed.

Helian Uro suppressed his expression indiscriminately, and settled the matter with his subordinates. When everything was ready, he came to Yan and said, "Please step back and be careful of flying stones."

"Yeah." Yan nodded, and retreated to the back of a ruined wall with everyone.

Tyvekir didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, so he ignited the gunpowder fuze himself.According to later Jinshi records, it was Taivikir who opened the entrance to the ancient city of Kule, and this kind of glory has been passed down from generation to generation.

Seeing Tyvikir running back quickly, Yan thought, if he could, he didn't want to destroy anything here, but waiting for all the ancient city to be unearthed, not to mention ten days and half a month, three years would not be enough.

If you want to solve the puzzle as soon as possible and don't want to go to war, you can only find an entrance to break in, and destroying the skylight is already the lowest damage to the ancient city.

Unexpectedly, there was a huge rumbling sound. Usman had a good grasp of the gunpowder. There were two "bang bang" sounds on the stone window, sand and dust flew up, and gravel rolled down with a clatter, rolling all over the ground like a landslide.

The window hole was successfully opened, and everyone cheered "Oh!" Yesterday, they were still frowning and couldn't find the best entrance, but today it is. Yan thinks that Usman is a lucky star. Wherever he is, he can find it Smoothly.

"There is a stone ladder!" Taivikr was also the first to run over to have a look. The inside of the window hole was also full of falling stones, and a spiral staircase going down could be seen.

Usman was right. This is just a room for signaling. There is nothing else except stone stairs, windows, and some things that look like charcoal.

"Get ready, let's go in." Yan commanded everyone, and his heartstrings couldn't help being tensed. One was worried about whether the inside would collapse, and the other was whether the crow killer would wait for an opportunity to make a move?No one can guarantee whether the killer who has disappeared without a trace will secretly hide in it through some channel that they don't know.

"Follow me closely." Yan urged Helian Uro.

Helian Wuluo looked at the stone ladder in the darkness, as if he was thinking about something, Yan lightly touched the back of his hand, and then he nodded as if returning to his senses, "Okay."

Yan began to count the number of people. There were 12 people in total. The first mover was Taiwei Keer, followed by him and Helian Uro, and then the guards and packers. Carrying tools.

Ilya and Kurdan are in charge of ground command.Ilya has grown a lot this trip, probably because she doesn't want to be overshadowed by Kurdan, and everything is done decently.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yan recorded the time, and everyone began to walk down the stairs.

Usman followed behind Yan.The stairs are very narrow, only one person can pass through, and there is an inexplicable and unknown smell floating in the dust floating with the air current.It doesn't stink or smell, it just has a taste.Not long after entering, someone coughed unbearably, and then washed his mouth and nose with clean water to stop the coughing.

The torch is burning brightly, at least breathing is no problem.

It's probably because of the spiral downwards of the stairs. I always feel that I am standing still, but the light above my head is getting darker and darker, telling everyone that they are going down all the time.

In front of Usman is Yan, and behind him are guards in full armor. It can be said that he is very safe. When he thought of Yan spreading his wings like an old hen to protect himself as much as possible, he did not feel displeased with being underestimated. I feel very heartwarming.Through this period of getting along, Usman understands that his wife's love is particularly warm and sultry.

Whenever he was protected by Yan, Usman especially wanted to kiss him, kissed his lips deeply, devoured his breath, and pressed him against the wall like this, doing all kinds of things. various things.

But... If Yan knew that in such a decent place, he could still be so unprincipled and full of twisted thoughts, he would be surprised, no, he wanted to punish him severely.

In order for him to figure out where this is and what to do is what matters.

Usman smiled silently, then looked at the stone bricks on both sides of the stairs, frowning slightly.He was distracted just now because for a moment, he thought he had been here.

But when he thought about it carefully, there was a similar spiral stone staircase in the priest's tower, and it wasn't unusual for him to find it familiar.

The group of people finally reached the bottom of the stairs. Here is a round stone room with a closed wooden door.

"Is this lamp oil in here?" Someone saw a vase-like stone bucket hanging on the wall, and took it down to check. There was solidified grease inside, which was black, and there were things like cloth strips.

"It should be, try to see if you can light it up." After checking it, Tyvekir lit it up with a flint a little impatiently.

The lamp oil was still usable, though it smelled a little like camel fat.

There were four such stone barrel lamps on the wall, and Tyvekir lit them up one by one, and everyone began to check the situation of the house by the light.The ceiling is intact, and there are several finger-wide cracks on the south wall, almost running through the entire wall, but because the other three walls are intact, the room is still relatively strong.

Six yellow-brown earthen jars were piled up in a corner, covered with a thick layer of ash, and the dust on the ground was also thick, like snow, with every step on a pit.

Yan decided to leave some things here, such as baskets and sacks, and then explore the world behind the door.

Usman stood in the room, watching his daughter-in-law busy in an orderly manner with a smile on his face.Suddenly, he felt someone on the spiral staircase behind him.

He suddenly turned around, only to see a pair of naked and white - a woman's feet.

There is also a string of silver bells tied on those slender ankles, but the ringing is very soft, like snow falling.

The woman suddenly turned and ran upstairs.

Usman froze for a moment, then turned around and chased after him.

This movement startled Yan, Yan chased after Usman without saying a word, and Usman bumped into a packer at the corner before chasing a few steps.

He was sitting on the stone steps, wiping his face with a sweat towel.To put it bluntly, seeing that there was nothing going on below, he hid here for a while.

Usman rushed up and stepped on his instep, causing him to yell in pain, "Ouch."

"Did you see a woman?" Usman asked, grabbing him by the shoulder.The corridor is so narrow, it is impossible for him not to see the woman.

"What kind of woman?" The porter gritted his teeth and burst into tears from the pain, "Master, where do you find women in this poor place?"

"Helian Uro." Yan rushed over, "What are you doing?"

Usman didn't look back, but just stared at the painful and inexplicable expression of the packer, knowing that he really didn't see it.

"It's okay." Usman turned around to look at Yan, and explained, "I heard a voice, and thought it was the tomb robbers who followed us down... So he was just being lazy here."

Yan crossed Usman and saw the sweating packer. The packer was also quite embarrassed, and whispered: "It's stuffy down here, so I just sit here to rest..."

Yan didn't argue with him, but said: "I will not make an example."

"Yes, yes!" The porter stood up quickly, he wanted to go down but couldn't, Usman and Yan blocked the way.

Yan turned around and walked down, so that Usman and the packer could go downstairs.

"Are you really okay?" Yan asked Usman, a little worried in his eyes.

"It's okay." Usman smiled, secretly squeezed Yan's fingers under the cover of his sleeves.
