Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 1540 The First Stop

After the air pressure door is opened, there is another small tunnel covered with metal skin, surrounded by silver and white, it feels like walking in a space capsule.

They walked straight along the tunnel, and at the end there was another small door.

The door was unlocked and dilapidated, made of thick cast iron with an old-fashioned latch.

Ghost Knife went over and pulled the latch, pushed it lightly, and the door opened.

But as soon as it was opened, it immediately smelled a smell of charred yellow sand, accompanied by a rotten alcohol smell.

They walked over and illuminated the front with flashlights, but they didn't expect that there was an underground desert behind this small door.

This place has been covered up for a long time, and the desert in the darkness looks so quiet and eerie.

Chen Zhi first checked the area with his eyes. This area should belong to a part of the Huoyanshan Desert. Due to the sinking of the sand, it gradually subsided, and finally became the same as the current basin.

The area here is very vast, and the whole is artificially wrapped, with many metal partitions on it, like an artificial sky, covering it completely.

And this is not a blank desert, the center of the sand in front of it is actually a ruin of an ancient village.

There is no light in this hidden subterranean desert, and it is dark all around, but the sky above is a reflective metal plate.

When the light from their flashlights hits it, the metal plate reflects light very well and opens up the line of sight.

In the weak light, they could clearly see the broken tiles and walls ahead.

This is obviously a small village established in the desert. There are remnants of ring-shaped vegetation on the ground. It seems to be a small oasis that used to be good.

The size of the village is small, but the buildings are very close together. There are many forests and many small buildings in it. It can be seen that many villagers used to live there.

There is also a dilapidated stone village road on the ground, leading directly to the interior of the ruins ahead.

Chen Zhi and the others raised their flashlights, trying to reflect the reflector above them as much as possible, and walked towards the ruins along the route.

This is a very difficult process. The air quality in this area is extremely bad, and it is accompanied by a strong smell of alcohol fermentation, which makes people's breathing difficult and dizzy.

And the sand here always feels as if something has been mixed in, and it feels very uncomfortable to step on it with shoes, even sticky.

They held flashlights all the way, illuminating the surrounding ruins.

The ruins should have been abandoned for a while, and from the degree of patina of the masonry, it can be inferred that it was an ancient village at least hundreds of years ago.

It stands to reason that the village in this era should be well preserved, but most of the houses have been severely damaged, and the original appearance cannot be seen.

When carefully illuminating these broken walls, you will find that the surface of the wall is extremely damaged. The faults of the brick wall are very sharp, and it feels like it was smashed by a great force.

Because of the high density of houses in the village, the roads in the village are very narrow and it is very inconvenient to walk.

Remnants of the life of the ancient Uighurs can be seen everywhere, among which there are many living utensils, which are very similar to the exhibition hall above, especially the wine-making utensils.

The wine-making utensils in this village can be seen everywhere, and the stone ladles used for fermenting grapes can be seen in front of almost every house, and some shriveled fruits can even be seen inside, lying there quietly Hundreds of years.

"It is estimated that this is the reason why this place is kept secret...",
Chen Zhi took a flashlight, scanned everything in the ruins, and said softly,

"The so-called Ancient Gaochang Kingdom Museum above actually has nothing to do with Gaochang Kingdom!

Gaochang Kingdom has a long history, and the civilization inside has long been lost.

The utensils and clothing we saw in the above museum just now are not like things from more than 1000 years ago, but more like objects from the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties two to three hundred years ago.

It is estimated that when they developed this area, they were the first to discover this small village buried under the sand in this desert.

Compared with the ancient and mysterious Gaochang State, this little-known village does not have much publicity value.

So they transformed the abandoned village, covered up the ruins below, and took the cultural relics in the village up, saying they were relics of the ancient Gaochang state.

That's more of a gimmick.

And the exhibits above, including those colorful Uyghur costumes, are probably excavated from here!It has nothing to do with the real ancient Gaochang Kingdom..."

"Fuck, that's how it is!",
After hearing this, Fat Wei also scanned around with a flashlight, and immediately understood,

"Really tnd, these profiteers are really fucking thieves.

To be honest, I have long seen that the ragged clothes above do not look like something from more than 1000 years ago, and it is true, they are fake.

But these people are really not stupid. How can they make any money digging out such a dilapidated village in the desert.

It’s better to pack it for him, and add some gimmicks, and he will be taller immediately..."

"Not necessarily!" Chen Zhi smiled faintly,

"What is of no value to those merchants may be of most value to us..."

"Amitabha!", Danxuan followed them all the time, and when he heard this, he softly recited the Buddha's name.

"Sponsor, since this is just an abandoned old village, I don't think there is any need to stay here.

The poor monk is eager, let's take advantage of the night to enter the desert, and hurry to the ancient country of Gaochang!I'm afraid it will be even harder to walk until dawn! "

"Master, don't worry!
This is the first stop we should come to! ",
Chen Zhi said softly, and shone the flashlight downward.

Ahead is the door of a village house, where there is a large stone scoop, square and square, like a big bathtub.

The stone scoop was very strong, and although it had been weathered over time, the inside of the scoop was still covered with a thick layer of purple-red mud.

The purple is black in the purple, and red in the black, very conspicuous.

Chen Zhi drew out his dagger and squatted down, scraping a little purple mud from the bottom of the stone scoop.Put it in front of your nose and smell it.

The strong smell of alcoholic fermentation is tangy, and this strong smell cannot be formed in a few years or even decades...

And it is made by fermenting a large number of grapes over many years.

"Remember the document I showed you?",
Chen Zhi asked the ghost knife next to him softly,

"During the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, there was once a small village in the frontier area who asked the organization for help, saying that there were monsters that had overwhelmed the villagers.

The presiding officer sent six warriors before and after, but they were all smashed in the yellow sand, and the village disappeared from then on.

It is recorded in the materials that it is a small Uyghur village, located on the edge of the Flame Mountain, and it is a well-known wine village for making wine.

If I'm not mistaken, this is probably the ruins of the disappeared Meijiu Village!

If that's the case, there must be something we need in this ruin!

Daozi, you are a samurai from Xiqi, you know the habits of samurai, you go in and look for it!
Let's see if we can find clues about those missing warriors 300 years ago..."

　Just one today.The headache is dead, going crazy.I have classes every day for these two days, and it will take a month.my Lord.
