Yelena tried her best to push the gate of the Immortal Palace, but the gate was not pushed. Han Jiang stepped forward to help Yelena push it, but both of them failed to push the gate of the Immortal Palace.

Makarov also wanted to go up to help them push, but Tang Feng called out, "Wait, don't push yet!" Tang Feng walked to the gate of the Immortal Palace, and suddenly felt that he had become very small. He stretched out his hands and tried it, but the door didn't move at all; he wanted to look in through the crack of the door, but the door was closed tightly, and he couldn't even see the crack of the door. Tang Feng turned to the window next to him, trying to look in through the window, but But there was only darkness in front of his eyes. He took out the flashlight to shine a light, but he still couldn't see anything, there was only darkness inside.

Tang Feng was suspicious, "Forget it, let's go to other places first, and come back to open the door of the Immortal Palace."

So, everyone walked around from under the eaves to the back of the copper hall. There are many ruins of collapsed palaces in the back, stretching all the way to the mountain.Tang Feng was hesitating whether to pass through these ruins or go around the ruins. Suddenly, he was stung by the golden light flashing over the mountain. Tang Feng closed his eyes instinctively, and waited for him to open them again. At that time, the golden light disappeared, and the mountain was still the same mountain, but the doubts in Tang Feng's heart became heavier and heavier.The appearance of this mountain is very ordinary, but it suddenly appears in the city of Mi, and it is constantly shining with golden light. The trees on the mountain are not tall, and the growth is irregular. Tang Feng stared at the crooked trees on the mountain, and always felt that this There must be something famous about the hill.

Not only Tang Feng saw the golden light, but everyone else also saw the faint golden light on the hill. Everyone wanted to climb up the hill to see what was there?Tang Feng then chose to bypass the ruins of those palaces and go around to the mountain from the path next to the palaces.

But Tang Feng guessed the wrong way. The road next to the palace did not take them to the hill, but went down the high platform in the palace area, extending all the way to the area south of the palace area. "Where is this?" Liang Yuan looked. Looking at the broken walls that kept appearing in front of him, he asked nervously.

"There is an area on both sides of the palace area and the hill behind it that we have not been to. Now we are located on the south side of the palace area. It looks seriously damaged, but I think the original building level here must be very high. , otherwise it would not appear next to the palace area." Tang Feng deduced.

"It looks like a temple!" Makarov found a Buddha statue with only half of his face in a pile of rubble.

Tang Feng picked up the Buddha statue and carefully identified it, "Yes, it is the style of Xixia."

"There are more here!" Liang Yuan also found a Buddha statue under the rubble.

Tang Feng cleared away the pile of rubble, and a pile of complete and exquisite Buddha statues appeared in front of everyone, "This is indeed a temple!" Tang Feng became excited, and he found more Buddha statues under the nearby rubble, Makarov Several scrolls of scriptures were also found inside a broken Buddha statue.

Tang Feng spread out these scriptures with a history of nearly a thousand years, and said excitedly: "Just these few volumes of scriptures are already very rich, including those in Xixia, Sanskrit, and Chinese characters. Didn't you ask me about Micheng?" Wealth? These Buddha statues and scriptures are the wealth of Micheng, this... This is simply a treasure house of history and culture!"

"I suddenly had the feeling that Koznov discovered Blackwater City back then." Makarov murmured suddenly.

"Yes, when Koznov discovered tens of thousands of Western Xia documents and Buddha statues in Heishui City, he shocked the world, and Mi City is more important than Heishui City. These preserved documents and cultural relics may already surpass what Koznov found in Heishui City!" Tang Feng became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Then... so we are already famous!" Han Jiang felt that happiness came too suddenly.

"You can understand that, but now is not the time for us to be happy!" Tang Feng said, walking towards another ruin not far away. This is a pile of ruins that is obviously higher than the surrounding ones. Buddha statues and scattered documents were found here, but what intrigued him more was that he could see everything around him from the ruins.

Tang Feng stood on the tall ruins and looked around. To the north was the majestic and tall palace and the hill, to the east was the ruins of the government office that had been inspected yesterday, and to the south until the city wall should have been within the scope of this temple. However, it is now in ruins, but the west side... Tang Feng was pleasantly surprised to find that there is still a row of buildings near the city wall on the west side that have not been burned down and are well preserved.

Tang Feng jumped off the ruins and said to everyone: "This area is twice as large as the palace area. One can imagine how magnificent this temple was back then. There is a well-preserved building under the west wall. Let's go and have a look first."

Five people walked in single file among the mountains of ruins, and after a quarter of an hour, they walked to the building with difficulty. It looked like a group of independent buildings, separated from the temple by a pond. The water had already dried up, so Tang Feng and the others easily jumped down from the pond and climbed up from the other side of the pond. At this moment, Han Jiang felt something strange, "Tang Feng, did you find that there is no such a long and narrow pond that almost blocks this place?" There is no water for the communication between the group of buildings and the temple. When there was water, the group of buildings under the city wall was closed and could not communicate with the outside world unless there was a bridge on the pond.”

"I also found out that this group of buildings is indeed very strange. It is no longer obvious whether there are bridges or not, but I think there must be a specific purpose for the design and construction at the beginning." Tang Feng said.

"What's even more amazing is that this is the only place in the city with trees besides the hill, and it looks like these trees should be very old, much taller than the trees on the hill!" Liang Yuan pointed to the two tall trees in front of her. Ginkgo said.

Tang Feng looked up and saw that this building was completely hidden in the green trees, and it looked so quiet and serene in this city of death. The five people walked slowly to the gate of this group of buildings. The long and narrow road has multiple shapes, but this does not deprive this group of buildings of their extraordinary momentum.

It is not a big three-bay gate, but the Xixia-style big eaves still make the gate look very imposing. The door panel is a little rotten, but it still stands inside the gate. Tang Feng gently pushed the gate, and the gate squeaked and opened. up!
Five people walked into the gate with mixed feelings. Behind the gate was another closed second gate. A yard was formed between the gate and the second gate. Some trees were planted in the yard, but Tang Feng was not interested. It was a few boulders in the yard. The experienced Tang Feng quickly judged the function of these boulders, "Well, there are two wells here."

Tang Feng rushed to the boulders. These boulders were the railings around the well. Looking down the well, Tang Feng felt dizzy for a while, and the bottom of the well was actually bottomless!
"What a strange well...it's bottomless!" Liang Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

Han Jiang said: "It's not surprising. When we came in from the water gate, Tang Feng said that the moat outside the city and the pond inside the water gate must have dried up long ago, so there is only one way to solve the drinking water for the people in the city— —Drill a well, and it must be a deep well, a very, very deep well.”

"So, there are these two deep wells!" Tang Feng nodded.

Tang Feng walked to the second gate, and the second gate was also pushed open. Behind the second gate was a courtyard, and a five-room hall appeared in the courtyard. There was no plaque hanging on the hall. Tang Feng looked at Han Jiang. I don't know what will be in here? "This may be the largest preserved palace in Mi City except the Immortal Palace."

Tang Feng was still hesitating. Han Jiang had already pushed the door of this hall. The door of this hall was unlocked. Tang Feng followed Han Jiang in. In an instant, he felt that he was in the world of bliss in the Western Paradise. Except for the place where they stood, the entire hall was almost entirely occupied by Buddha statues. From the main Buddha in the middle to the Bodhisattvas and Arhats on both sides, there were hundreds of Buddha statues of various kinds.

Witnessing all this, Tang Feng couldn't help sighing, "It's really a treasure house of Buddhist art."

"Okay, don't sigh! It seems that this is also a temple." Han Jiang urged Tang Feng to go back quickly. Tang Feng wanted to take a second look, but Han Jiang had already pulled him through these Buddha statues and detoured At the back of the hall, there is another door behind it. The door panel is gone and it is open. When Tang Feng came to this door, he saw a long corridor extending to the courtyard behind. A tree that Tang Feng did not recognize was neatly planted on both sides of the corridor. What makes Tang Feng even more surprised is that there are still gorgeous flowers blooming on this kind of tree.

The five people looked left and right, and walked along the passage curiously, as if they had walked into a grotesque fairy tale world. At the end of the passage, they found that there were three more halls, which were distributed among the flowers in the shape of a character.

When Tang Feng went to push these halls, the strange feeling struck again, and it became more and more intense, but when he opened the door, there was no one inside, but there were some simple furnishings except for the Buddha statues. , everything looked as if the master had just left, but the thick dust on the ground and the Buddha statue told Tang Feng that there could be no one here.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what else could be found in this group of strange buildings. Suddenly, Liang Yuan found something in the dust under a table. She picked up something and shouted in surprise: "Look, this is A comb."

Tang Feng took the comb, a copper comb with exquisite twig patterns on it, Tang Feng put down the comb, and looked around the room again, "This is like a woman's room."

"Oh! I understand." Liang Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

"What do you unserstand?"

"There are things for women here, and there is a Buddhist hall, which means that this place was originally a nunnery!" Liang Yuan deduced.

"Nun's nunnery?!" Everyone was surprised.

"That's right! That's why there is a long and narrow pond outside that separates it from the majestic temple next to it." Liang Yuan's deduction seemed quite reasonable, and Tang Feng had to nod in agreement.

Tang Feng stood in the yard for a while before leaving reluctantly. Behind the yard was a moon gate, and behind the moon gate was a yard full of weeds. "Like a garden!" Liang Yuan said.

Tang Feng didn't say anything. He walked around the long and narrow garden and came to the last door. There was a rusty lock on the door and a thick iron chain was wrapped around it.Tang Feng looked at Han Jiang, "It seems that this place used to be a forbidden zone!"

Han Jiang didn't care so much, he pulled out his pistol and shot two shots at the big rusty lock. The thick chain fell and the big rusty lock was broken. Han Jiang opened the back door, and a long staircase appeared In front of everyone.

Han Jiang took the lead to climb the long stairs. After about [-] steps, they came to a tall platform. The inner side of the platform was the mountain of the hill. "We have already climbed the hill." Tang Feng stared at Looking at the mountain in front of him, he suddenly felt that the soil on the hill in front of him was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Look! There is a lama pagoda here!" Yelena found a toppled lama pagoda in a pile of bushes near the mountain. Tang Feng walked over and inspected it. "If this lama pagoda stands up, it will be two meters tall. How high."

"Why is there a lama pagoda in this place?" Liang Yuan asked puzzled.

Tang Feng stared at the Lama Pagoda for a long time, then suddenly murmured, "This Lama Pagoda is definitely not the only one here."

"What do you mean?" Han Jiang stared at Tang Feng.

But Tang Feng didn't answer Han Jiang's question, and murmured: "There is a problem with this mountain."

"What's wrong with the mountain?" Everyone stared at Tang Feng.

"Don't ask me, everyone, walk along the edge of this platform to see if there is such a Lama Pagoda in front of you!" Tang Feng instructed everyone.

Everyone didn't understand what Tang Feng meant, so they had to move forward according to what Tang Feng said. Sure enough, every time they walked out, they could find Lama pagodas in the dense bushes, some fell to the ground, and some still stood in place. Looking thoughtfully at the lama pagoda that has been cleared out in this way, I finally stopped in front of the ninth lama pagoda, which happens to be the turning point of the platform. Standing here, you can see the magnificent palace in the east. Looking at Tang Feng, expecting Tang Feng to give an answer.

Tang Feng smiled and said, "Didn't you find any rules?"

"Rule? The rule is that such a lama pagoda will be found every once in a while." Han Jiang said.

"Yes, this is just one of many patterns that have emerged."

"What else? I didn't see anything." Han Jiang looked at the Lama Pagoda not far away, and said helplessly.

"I roughly estimated that the distance between the two lama pagodas is about 30 meters, which means that the side of this hill is about 270 meters long. According to my previous observations, this hill is basically a Square, then, I guess its circumference is about 80 meters." Tang Feng estimated the circumference of the hill.

"How big is this mountain?" Liang Yuan was surprised, but she was still puzzled, "What does this length mean?"

"The length doesn't explain anything except the circumference of the mountain, but what I'm going to tell you next is enough to shock you!" Tang Feng said, grabbing a handful of dirt from the mountain, "Pay attention to the size of the dirt. color."

"Color?" Everyone was puzzled, and Han Jiang said first, "Isn't this just red clay?"

"Yes, this is red soil. Don't you find it strange? Why is there red soil here?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang back.

Han Jiang thought for a while before he realized, "Yes, the red soil usually appears in the south..."

Before Han Jiang finished speaking, Tang Feng turned to the south of the hill and took a piece of soil from there, "Look at the color of this soil!"

"This... why is the soil blue?" Yelena saw the clue.

"It's really strange. The cyan soil usually comes from humid areas, such as some rice fields in the south." Han Jiang added.

"That's the problem. When you look at this mountain again, isn't it too regular?" Tang Feng stood at the southeast corner of the platform and asked suddenly, pointing at the mountain in front of him.

Everyone noticed that there seemed to be an obvious ridge on the mountain in front of Tang Feng, "What's going on? And the color of the soil on both sides of this ridge has changed." Liang Yuan stared at the scene in front of her in surprise.

"Look at the plants and trees on this mountain, how are they different from the trees we saw in that courtyard just now?" Tang Feng asked again.

Liang Yuan looked back at the lush green area below the mountain, and then at the vegetation on the mountain, and found a problem, "Although the vegetation on the mountain looks very dense, it seems that they are all short and not big, and mainly consist of bushes and low vegetation. Mostly dwarf plants, are these plants born with malnutrition?"

"That's right! These plants are malnourished. Let me tell you what's going on! All the strange phenomena you discovered just now can only have one answer, and that is because this mountain is a man-made mountain!" Tang Feng said his inference with confidence, and everyone was shocked.
