I know that the same thing can often show different appearances in night and day, but I never thought that this difference can be so large, it is simply a world-shaking!

The rock valley I saw in the night last night has completely changed at this moment. If the wooden door and the stone steps under my feet were not the same as I remembered, I would definitely think that I was moved to another place in my sleep. a place.I made sure that I remembered correctly, there was only sand in the clearing under the moonlight, other than that there was not even a larger rock.However, the open space in the morning light has completely changed into another scene.Although the sand is still there, it is no longer the protagonist here.Inexplicably, the real protagonist turned into something I couldn't find last night - an oasis!

This is a true oasis.All kinds of trees are lush and lush; the low bushes are green and dense, winding in groups.Pieces of lawn cover the ground, bright green and pleasing to the eye, occasionally dotted with some wild flowers, colorful and refreshing.The center of the oasis is inlaid with a deep pool, the water color is green and clear, like gems.A faint mist floats on the surface of the water, hazy and misty, like a fairyland on earth.

I rubbed my eyes subconsciously, walked a few steps forward to the edge of the stone platform, and carefully looked at the rocky valley while leaning on the iron chain.Except for the oasis that suddenly popped out of the center of the rock valley, the rest of the rock valley has not changed much.The surrounding rock walls have basically not changed, but have changed from dark ocher to crimson brown under the rendering of sunlight.Those house-like protrusions on the rock wall are no longer visible as vague outlines in the moonlight, but can be seen in detail.Most of these houses are made of dark brown rocks, with scattered heights and uneven bumps. The size and style of the houses are not the same.It seems to be hollow rocks that are naturally formed one by one, rather than artificially made.

After carefully observing the buildings, I found that almost every house has a different number of stone supports under it, so that these houses can be firmly fixed on the rock wall at different heights.These stones have no fixed shape, and the style is very natural.Some of them are columnar.Rising straight from the ground, some stretched out from the rock wall like beams, holding houses in mid-air firmly like huge arms.There are also some houses below which there are no obvious stone pillars, but fall directly on the roof below, supported by the rock wall and the house below.The whole house is so densely packed on the surrounding rock walls, although it looks chaotic.But because the combination with the rock wall is very natural, it will not make people feel messy.In general, these buildings look somewhat similar to the "Gaotai Dwellings" in Kashgar, but the structure is much more complicated.

After browsing through these "castles in the air", I locked my eyes on the magical oasis again, and searched hard with my eyes.I hope to find out the reason for the formation of this spectacle.After a while, I really found some clues.I found that there were some long triangular stone slabs around the clearing, standing obliquely in front of the rock wall like sails.The color of these stone slabs is basically the same as the surrounding rock walls, and it is difficult to find them if you don't look carefully. If it weren't for their occasional flashes of imperceptible light, I would definitely confuse them with ordinary rocks.

I stared at them carefully for a while, and found that the bottom of them has a kind of horizontal shaft-like component connected to the ground.Seems to move up and down like a flap.I roughly measured it in my mind, and found to my surprise that if all the stone slabs were put together, they would fit together into a lid-like thing that would completely cover the oasis.

Could it be... that's why I couldn't see this oasis last night?This oasis will be covered by stone slabs at night and turn into a sandy field, and it will be revealed in the morning?God, what technology is this? !Is it really caused by the "power of God"?What kind of tribe is Elias?

I couldn't help swallowing, and subconsciously wondered whether the countermeasure I had been thinking about all night was appropriate.In the face of such a hidden tribe with unknown technology, can my ideas still work? [

"Let's go, Castro is waiting for us." Kanaguri said loudly.Immediately, our somewhat dazed minds were called back.She looked at us, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, as if she enjoyed seeing our group stunned by the sight in front of me.However, she didn't intend to explain, and turned around immediately after saying this.Walked towards the stone steps.

I sighed softly, gestured for everyone to follow, and followed Kanaguri's footsteps up the stone steps.Although everyone in the team wanted to ask several questions, everyone knew very well that even if they asked at this time, Kanaguli would not give us any answers.Instead of this, it is better to suppress doubts and remain silent, and wait and see what happens.

Walking up the stone steps for a while, we stepped into the corridor from a platform, began to walk through different corridors, and slowly walked from the rock wall on the left side of the entrance to the rock wall facing the entrance. wall.I probed and looked, and the distribution of houses on this section of the rock wall is much looser than other places, and the size of each house is also larger than other houses.In the middle of the rock wall is a very huge house with about ten floors, extending from the ground to the upper part of the rock wall, looking like a castle embedded in the rock.

Kanaguli led us to an entrance in the middle of the house. After saying a few words to the guard at the door, she turned and waved to us, motioning us to follow her in.Walking into the gate, my eyes suddenly lit up.Unexpectedly, the interior of this house is so large and the light is so abundant.I turned my head and looked around, and found that the place I was in should be a hall, but I didn't know what the specific function was.This hall is roughly estimated to be about 20 square meters, roughly rectangular in shape.Its width is about ten meters, but its depth is very long.Judging from the appearance of this house from the outside, the people who built it dug at least [-] meters deep into the rock wall. In any case, it was a very labor-intensive project, and I don’t know how they built it. All this was done in a resource-poor desert.

The top of the hall is not too high, about four or five meters, and it is basically composed of rocks.There are not many decorations on the top surface, but there are several levels of staggered levels. It seems that there are some different colors of paint, but there are already many peeling places, which are mottled.At the entrance of the hall, apart from the gate, there is a row of wide doors on both sides. Bright sunlight comes in from these doors, illuminating the entire hall extremely brightly.Not far from the entrance, there is a wooden staircase, which is positioned against the wall on the right, and it seems that the entire building can be ascended and descended from the inside.On the side of the stairs is a row of light yellow wooden doors, there are about four or five.Kanaguli was standing in front of the first door and beckoning us to hurry over.

I didn't dare to delay, I hurriedly put down my cursory browsing and walked forward, followed her into the wooden door.Inside the door is a room of about fifty square meters, which is basically square.Except for the wall at the entrance, the other three walls of the house were completely covered by the huge bookshelves, leaving no gaps.These bookshelves are filled with densely packed books, most of which are covered with dark cowhide, covered with fine scratches, and look very old.

A large square table was placed in the open space surrounded by the book wall, and there were many books and some strangely shaped metal objects piled on the table.An old man with snow-white hair was sitting by the table and fiddling with those metal objects, with his head down, unable to see the specific face clearly.Hearing the sound of the door, he slowly raised his head to look at us and smiled, then he didn't speak, just looked at us silently.

This old man is about 65 years old, with dark complexion, a long silver beard on his chin, and hills and valleys on his face.Considering that the wind and sand in the desert area have greatly changed the appearance of a person, I estimate that his actual age should be younger than his appearance.The old man was wearing an inky black robe with a circle of rune-like patterns around the neckline.He wore a pair of glasses with copper-colored rims on his face. Behind the transparent lenses were a pair of small but bright eyes, which were shining with a gleam of wisdom at the moment.

"Guests from afar, hello." The old man put away his scrutiny and slowly stood up, raised his hand to signal us to sit on the chair opposite the table, and continued: "My name is Kat Mohammad Karon Doc, I'm the leader here, nice to meet you. You can call me Carter."

"Hi, Chief Carter. I'm Mu Qisheng. We're here without invitation. I'm sorry to disturb you." I bowed slightly to the old man, and then introduced the teammates behind me one by one.

The old man nodded to us, and then invited us to sit down again, and at the same time ordered Kanaguli to call for drinks.After everyone was seated and the waiter came in to refill everyone's tea, the old man asked Kanaguli to close the door and said slowly, "Excuse me, which one of you is the one who can understand the holy words?" 'Wonder Girl?"

Although his voice was slow, his eyes kept turning around Ruan Yu and Xiao Qian, showing a hint of eagerness.

"Hi old man, it's me." Xiaoqian nodded to the old man, leaned forward impatiently, and opened her mouth to ask the old man about the "Holy Words".

Unexpectedly, the old man who was eager just now suddenly slowed down.He smiled and waved to Xiaoqian, motioning her to talk later, then suddenly turned his head and said to me: "Then, this Mr. Mu should be the teacher who taught this girl the 'holy language'! What I said Right? Dear 'Saint Clan Inspection'!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation.
