Xixia dead book

Chapter 243 The Finale of Death (33)
Tang Feng's question stopped everyone, "That's right! What... what's going on here?"

"Look, further on, near those adobe bungalows, there are not many bones, but the bones appear here concentratedly, and extend all the way up the steps until they reach the first platform of the pyramid. What does this mean?" No After everyone answered, Tang Feng went on to say: "Also, all the bones are basically men, and weapons belonging to them were found near the bones. It can be concluded that these people are the last warriors of the Micheng Party. Without exception, the last warriors of the party fought bravely and died against the enemy's bows and spears. Why didn't they run? Or... even spread out? Why did they fall so densely on the steps leading to the pyramid? "

"What are they holding on to?" Yelena thought of this first.

"Yes, there is only one explanation. What important things are they guarding! So much so that they go through fire and water, risking their own lives, so what are they guarding desperately?" At this time, Tang Feng's eyes released Excited light.

After a while of silence, Makarov said slowly: "I think... I think what they are desperately guarding should be on the pyramid, or this pyramid!"

"Old horse, I think the same way. Apart from the pyramids, I can't think of anything important that would be worth sacrificing their lives like this. You see the scene of them lying on the ground. It is a kind of determination to die, even if it is death. , but also use corpses to block the enemy from climbing the pyramid!"

"But...but what's on the pyramid? Could it be that they sacrificed their lives to protect the gold leaf on the top of the pyramid?"

"I don't think it's because of those gold foils. This pyramid should have secrets that we don't know now!" Tang Feng said his bold inference.

"The secret of the pyramid?!" Everyone was shocked.

"Yes, maybe this pyramid is the core of Mi City, and the secret of Mi City is hidden in this pyramid!" Tang Feng deduced, his train of thought seemed to become clear all of a sudden, "Dangxiang people spent time and effort to build such a magnificent The pyramids are extravagant, not just for showing off and pleasure, they must have a specific purpose, and so many party warriors sacrificed their lives to defend it, further confirming my inference.”

"Then how can we know the secret of the pyramid?" Liang Yuan asked.

"Right now, there is only the Hall of Immortality in the entire city of Mi, and we haven't entered it. Maybe the key to unlocking all these secrets lies in the Hall of Immortality!" Tang Feng said firmly.

Han Jiang looked up at the sun that had gone west, "Time is running out, so let's hurry up!"

The five people left the stairs and walked quickly through the rows of low adobe houses. All the rooms had only walls, the doors were all gone, and there was nothing inside. Many houses still had fires. Tang Feng and the others only found sporadic bones near the house, and there were no more bones piled up like a mountain on the stairs.

"It seems that there was a battle in the barracks, but in the end all the party members retreated to the stairs and made a last desperate resistance." Tang Feng deduced.

While speaking, everyone had already walked out of the barracks and came to the school yard in the center of the barracks. The huge school yard was empty, but the building ruins in the middle of the school yard quickly aroused Tang Feng's interest.

Tang Feng came near the collapsed building and stood in front of the ruins for a long time, "Why are you in a daze? This is just a ruin!" Han Jiang urged him.

"No, this building is interesting!"

"Oh, what did you see?" Han Jiang was puzzled.

"If I'm not mistaken, this building turned out to be a circular official building. It is located in the center of the barracks and is also very large, so I think it must be very important here."

"We knew about this a long time ago, it might be the headquarters of the army!"

"Commander? I thought about it just now. We found the Generalissimo's Mansion in the administrative area yesterday. It should be the management and command organization of the entire city of Mi. It may be the place where the Northern Army's soldiers and horses are located. But this building The style made me very curious, circular buildings were rare in ancient times, and generally only special-purpose buildings were built into circular shapes."

"Then what do you think this round building is like?" Liang Yuan asked.

"Here..." Tang Feng walked around the pile of ruins. Suddenly, he stopped and said, "I think this will tell me the answer."

Everyone followed the sound and saw a hole faintly exposed under a large pile of ruins.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the hole, everyone was curious and nervous. It is reasonable that there should not be a hole here, but the hole appeared under the pile of ruins at this time. What will be there?Tang Feng looked at Han Jiang, Han Jiang looked at Yelena, Yelena smiled and said, "Are you two afraid? Then I'll go down and have a look, maybe it's just a cellar!"

"I hope it's just a cellar! But I won't allow women to go down in front of me." Han Jiang said, pulled out his dagger, and got into the hole first.

There are several steps in the entrance of the cave, which soon lead to the bottom. Yelena, Tang Feng, Liang Yuan and Makarov also followed. The bottom has not collapsed, and it is a complete circular basement. Yelena couldn't help laughing: " Hehe, how about it, I said this is just a cellar, it’s just a relatively large cellar!”

"The cellar? No!" Tang Feng shook his head. He walked to one side of the wall, and in the dark shadows, a passage was revealed. Tang Feng walked into the tunnel, pushed the flashlight, and a fence door was revealed. A cellar?"

"Dungeon?!" Yelena said in surprise, facing the fence door.

Walking inside, a series of fence gates appeared on both sides of the tunnel, "This is a dungeon, Mi City also needs a prison." Han Jiang agreed with Yelena's guess.

"This is a prison, but it's not a simple prison." Tang Feng stopped in front of a fence door.

Tang Feng's voice echoed in the depths of the tunnel, Han Jiang asked Tang Feng puzzled, "Why, what did you find again?"

"Don't you realize how thick the railings of these fence gates are?" Tang Feng reminded Han Jiang and Yelena.

It was only then that Han Jiang and Yelena realized that the gates of these fences were obviously wider, and the fences made of pig iron were even as thick as the mouth of a bowl! "This... this is..." A terrifying picture quickly flooded the minds of Han Jiang and Yelena.

"This is the house for those monsters!" Makarov came to a terrifying conclusion.

"Yes, only gnats need such a thick iron fence!" Tang Feng affirmed Makarov's conclusion.

In the dark tunnel, there was a dead silence, Tang Feng widened his eyes, and shone the flashlight deep into the tunnel, in front of the deep tunnel, what terrible things would there be?Are there still surviving clams?Thinking of this, Tang Feng's heart beat wildly...

But under the light of Tang Feng's flashlight, there was only one wall more than [-] meters ahead.Tang Feng walked cautiously towards the wall, for fear of disturbing the monsters sleeping here. However, the tunnel was divided into two branches in front of the wall, and the two deep tunnels extended in different directions. There were still exactly the same cells on both sides. As they walked, Yelena asked, "It's strange, since this is a place to detain Kui, why didn't we find anything?"

"What do you want to find? A resurrected monster?" Han Jiang asked back.

"No, I mean those monster bones and stuff."

"Yeah, it's very strange that no bones of Kuibi were found here, which reminds me of the inscription on Basiba..." Tang Feng murmured.

"Inscription? What did you think of?" Han Jiang asked Tang Feng back.

Tang Feng didn't speak. The flashlight in his hand had already illuminated the end of the tunnel. It seemed to be a large, dark space. Han Jiang and Yelena also saw the clue, and the three of them pulled out their guns and tiptoed to the end of the tunnel. At the end, under the illumination of the flashlight, Tang Feng discovered that there was another huge rotunda, several times larger than the one they saw at the beginning. There was a hole on the other side of the hall, and under the rotunda there was It was a huge pit. When Tang Feng's flashlight moved into the pit, the shocking scene made him cry out, "Ah—there are all bones underneath, the bones of gnats!"

Han Jiang and Yelena also cried out in shock, because the scene they saw was too shocking, with countless layers of bones superimposed on top of each other, it was impossible to see the thickness below!
Shocked, Tang Feng used his flashlight to shine on the wall of the big pit again. The black pit wall showed obvious traces of being scorched by the fire. Looking at the skeleton of the cockroach, it was also mostly grayish black, and there were still traces around the skeleton. A lot of powder, the words on the stele of Xue Jun flashed again in Tang Feng's mind, "There are more than a hundred cockroaches, ferocious things, the emperor's master used Buddhism to rationalize them..." Suddenly, Tang Feng had a flash of inspiration and said in surprise: "I understand the sentence on the stele of the Qixue army. When the Qixue army invaded Mi City, there were still more than a hundred cockroaches in the city. Basiba used Buddhism to explain it. I have never understood this sentence before. This 'Hua Zhi' is actually a pun, not only bragging about Basiba's supernatural powers, but also a true 'Hua Zhi'."

"You mean that Basiba used fire to burn these cockroaches in the end?!" Liang Yuan asked Tang Feng.

Tang Feng nodded, "Huoshao can also be called 'transformation', but this brings up a new problem. Did Basiba subdue these clams first, and then gather here to burn them, or use tricks to attract the clams to In this big pit, use fire again?"

"In a hurry, it is impossible for Xue Xue's army to dig such a big pit. I think it is very likely that there was such a big pit here. Yes, it is possible that this is the place where the party members buried the body of the cockroach. Ba Siba just They took advantage of this place and burned the remaining cockroaches to death!" Liang Yuan deduced.

"It seems that this has always been the tomb of Kaili!" Tang Feng pointed to the entrance of the opposite hole again, "The entrance of that hole may be the exit of another tunnel."

Liang Yuan let out a long breath, "At least we don't have to worry about cockroaches anymore, they can no longer exist!"

"But I always have a bad feeling!" Tang Feng looked at the mountains of clam bones piled up under his feet, and that bad feeling became stronger and stronger.

"Okay, that's just your hallucination. We've wasted too much time downstairs. It might be getting dark up there!" Han Jiang urged, and everyone returned from the original road. After half an hour, they finally returned to the ground. When Tang Feng looked at the ruins again, he had a new understanding of this place, "It seems that the soldiers and horses of the Northern Army are not only in command of the troops, but also in charge of the sharp weapon of the cockroaches, but I am curious why these cockroaches At the last moment of Mi City, it didn’t play a role, and was burned to death in the ground so easily by Basiba.”

"This may be a mystery that can never be solved!" Han Jiang patted Tang Feng on the shoulder, and then walked to another barracks. This barracks was basically completely burned down, and the ground was full of traces of the fire. The only harvest here is that two more wells have been discovered, and these two wells are also very deep, bottomless!

Walking out of the barracks, the sun has gone west, and the group of people returned to the square where they camped yesterday. Almost everyone stayed up all night last night. Today is another busy day. Everyone is exhausted and hastily ate something. Han Jiang is just like last night. , arranged for Tang Feng, himself and Yelena to stay overnight.

Tang Feng looked up at the Immortal Palace on the high platform. The majestic palace looked gloomy and solemn in the dark. What secrets were hidden behind the gate that could not be opened?This may be the last secret of Mi City.

In the early hours of the morning, Tang Feng opened his eyes in a daze, and was in the empty square of Mi City. Suddenly, he found something strange in the Immortal Hall on the high platform. A bright light flashed by. Is it a light?Or... Tang Feng was shocked suddenly and woke up. Is there anyone in the hall?Thinking about it, Tang Feng quickly climbed up the steps in front of the palace, but when he climbed up the high platform, he found that the hall was completely dark without any light. Tang Feng stood on the high platform for a long time, looking at the solemn and gloomy the Temple of Immortality.

Temple of Immortality?This bronze-cast hall stands for thousands of years, can it really be immortal?Can those people, those lost histories be immortal?Tang Feng was thinking wildly, but his eyes were fixed on the Immortal Palace in front of him. He raised his legs again, jumped over the ruined palaces, and walked towards the glorious Immortal Palace...

Suddenly, the dazzling lights instantly illuminated the Hall of Immortality, and Tang Feng woke up suddenly. He was surprised to find that he was standing in front of the copper and gold-clad gate of the hall. Tang Feng couldn't help but shuddered. Backed away, but the flickering lights in the hall seemed to have some kind of magical power, and they were constantly sending out some kind of instructions to Tang Feng's brain. The hall came.

At the entrance of the Palace of Immortality, Tang Feng raised his hands high and pushed the huge and heavy gold-clad copper door with all his strength. There was no creaking or motionless, but the seemingly heavy door was gently opened. Turn it on... In the brightly lit hall, the huge red pillars are inlaid with golden patterns, and the ground is covered with various piebald stones. The whole hall looks solemn and solemn.

But Tang Feng found that the hall was blocked by heavy curtains. He couldn't see a person or anything. He walked through the curtains in a daze. Except for the bright lights, there was no sign of anyone in the hall. It was so quiet inside, except for his own light footsteps, Tang Feng could not detect any sound.Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from outside the hall, and the strong and heavy door of the hall was rattled. The moment a curtain fell, Tang Feng clearly saw the black robe flashing from under the curtain, who is that?

Tang Feng instinctively raised the curtain in front of him and walked towards the curtain that flashed the black robe. Tang Feng lifted the heavy curtain and walked faster and faster, but when he came to the curtain where he saw the black robe, he found that there was nothing behind the curtain. No, it's empty!
Tang Feng aimlessly continued to search for the black shadow that had just flashed by in the heavy curtains. There was another gust of wind, and the huge curtain was lifted by the gust of wind again. Tang Feng saw the black robe again, which was four layers away from him. At the place where the curtain was, Tang Feng raised the curtain, walked a few steps quickly, and raised the fourth curtain, but the backside was still empty!Tang Feng was powerlessly walking through the curtains. At this moment, he found himself lost in the curtains. The grand palace had become a dizzying labyrinth. Tang Feng wanted to go out, but he couldn't find it. The gate of the Temple of Immortality.

Tang Feng stopped, calmed down, and listened carefully. He wanted to judge the location of the gate or the location of the black robe through the slight sound, but there was a dead silence all around, without a single sound... Tang Feng stood quietly by a curtain Suddenly, there was a loud noise, it was the gold-clad bronze door, the door of the Immortal Palace was blown shut by the wind!Tang Feng was wondering in his heart, a gust of wind blew from under the curtain, Tang Feng's eyes glanced under the curtain inadvertently, and suddenly widened, because... because he saw it again under the curtain in front of him That black robe, at this moment, there is only a curtain in front of him and that black robe.

Tang Feng's heart was beating wildly, as if he was about to jump out of his body, the feeling of suffocation made his hands at a loss, he slowly raised his head, staring straight at the curtain in front of him, he or she is right here Behind the curtain?Tang Feng couldn't bear this feeling of fear and suffocation any longer. He tore off the curtain in front of him suddenly. What shocked him was that there was nothing behind the curtain. Could it be that he was dazzled?Or is this...all this an illusion? !
Tang Feng thought wildly, and turned around. Behind him, a cold and terrifying mask was so close to his face. There was nothing in the empty eye sockets, only darkness!Tang Feng opened his mouth wide and wanted to shout, but no sound came from his body!Tang Feng suddenly had a feeling of dying. In an instant, he felt that his body no longer belonged to him. The pillar caught Tang Feng's heavy body. Tang Feng leaned against the red pillar, and his body fell slowly until he collapsed on the ground.
