Chapter 284 The Disappearing Underwater Palace
There was a drop of cold sweat on Lu Ming's forehead, he was just curious.
According to legend, the ancient city of Loulan disappeared on the Silk Road in Xizhou, and alongside it is the legendary underwater palace in the Northern Desert.
The underwater palace is not only an oasis in the desert, but also a place where treasures can be gathered. Because the Northern Wilderness is bordered by seven countries outside the region, it has been a commercial hub since ancient times. Thousands of years ago, water transportation was not developed, and there was only a wooden boat. It is impossible to transport goods on the turbulent water of the Sky Canal, so they can only walk in the desert.
And this underwater palace, as the hub of business and transportation between the seven countries outside the region and China at that time, was equivalent to a post station.
Lu Ming was very interested in this rumor, so when he was in Beihuang, he deliberately inquired about it.
I heard that the underwater palace has a suspended water surface at the top, and there are countless gold and silver treasures hidden in it. After it suddenly disappeared thousands of years ago, no one has ever found it again.
There have always been people who have explored and searched in the Northern Wilderness Desert, but they have found nothing.
"Could it be that grandpa really discovered where the underwater palace is?" Alan looked carefully at the paintings on the ground.
Lu Ming also frowned and pondered, a terrifying idea appeared in his mind.
If Hu Changfa really discovered the underwater palace that had been hidden for thousands of years back then, and there was endless wealth there, why did he take his clansmen to Niushan, spend money and money to seize the ancient box, and did it for nearly a hundred years, at the cost of causing the complete decline of the Hu family.
Could it be that the secrets in the ancient box are more valuable and more tempting than the gold and silver mountains in the underwater palace?
"Mr. Lu, look."
Alan's shout interrupted Lu Ming's thoughts. Looking in the direction of her finger, everyone in the camel caravan walking on the way has a common characteristic. Whether their hands are raised or lowered, or It's holding the reins, but the fingers all have one thing in common, pointing in the same direction.
Looking in the direction of the finger, it is the wall on the side of the tomb.
"This must be the clue left by the great grandfather." Alan said with certainty: "Because only the descendants of the Hu family can find his tomb! I guess, the great grandfather must hope that one day, when the descendants of the Hu family can obtain the ancient box." , will definitely come to look for his tomb, take the residual map that records where the key is, and then you will find his guidance! Maybe it was when he came here and chose to build a tomb for himself that he discovered the secret about the underwater palace!"
Alan's guess is very possible, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the fact that Hu Changfa's body disappeared.
"Let me try it?" Lu Ming looked at Alan inquiringly.
Seeing her nodding, Lu Ming walked towards the direction of the fingers of those people in the painting, which was the wall on the side of the tomb. He carefully searched the wall by the light of the flashlight.
Ge Long, who was silent in the distance, was already protecting Ge Yun and Ge Feng and retreated slowly, for fear that they would touch some mechanism again and cause fatal danger.
Soon, Lu Ming's eyes fell on the wall, a place with a slightly different color.
Touch it lightly with your hands, this is not a layer of soil, but a hard stone.
He turned his head and looked at Alan, and when he saw the latter nodding, he pressed down hard.
creak!
The stone was pushed down, and then there was a dull sound, and the tomb began to shake again, and it was already crumbling.
At this moment, the bottom of the coffin, where the picture was located, cracked open, and a dark corridor emerged.
Seeing this scene, the three of Lu Ming were overjoyed. It seemed that Hu Changfa had carefully cast the mechanism left by him. After he smeared it from the coffin and sealed it, he went down the corridor.
"Go, go in and see!"
Lu Ming walked quickly, and walked down the corridor first.
Alan and Shangguan Yanran followed closely behind. The corridor was very narrow and only one person could pass through.
"Ge Long, what should we do?" Ge Yun asked nervously seeing Lu Ming and the others enter the corridor.
Slightly pondering, Ge Long said: "There is no way out here, I can only follow in and have a look."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said, "The young master follows me, Ge Feng, you go last."
Ge Feng nodded when he heard the words, and the two brothers glanced at Ge Hai's body that had been crushed into a meat paste, turned and walked towards the corridor.
From Ge Long's behavior, it can be seen that their brothers are extremely loyal to the Ge family, even at this time, they are still ensuring Ge Yun's safety.
In the dark passage, Lu Ming held a flashlight and walked forward with the help of the faint light.
The corridor is very deep and goes down a slope. After hundreds of meters, there is still no end in sight. It is really hard to imagine how Hu Changfa, who was dying at the time, excavated such a huge project by himself.
About 50 meters further forward, there was gradually the sound of water flowing, and Lu Ming and the three looked happy and speeded up a little.
Suddenly, at the end of the corridor, a wide corridor emerged.
Lu Ming stopped cautiously and illuminated his surroundings with a flashlight.
Here is a corridor with a width of about three feet. There are hard stone walls on both sides, which are obviously artificially built. The corridor on one side has been blocked due to collapse. This corridor was dug out from the stone wall on one side of the corridor. of.
The corridor was long and the flashlight could not reach the end, but when Lu Ming shone the light on the top of the corridor, the scene there gave them a creepy feeling.
"It's an underground river!" Shangguan Yanran exclaimed first.
A dark river was actually flowing rapidly at the top of the corridor, and what supported the dark river was a nearly transparent white stone layer.
"The rumors are true!" Alan said in shock: "The top of the underwater palace is suspended on the water surface, so it is true! It's just that it is not floating, but flowing on the white rock formation."
Lu Ming, who has a lot of experience, was extremely shocked by the spectacular scene here.
Ge Yun and the others who followed were also stunned by this scene.
"Go ahead!" Lu Ming adjusted his mood slightly, and continued walking forward with a flashlight.
In the wide corridor, the sound of their footsteps and the sound of the water flowing on the top echoed, and the length of this corridor was far beyond Lu Ming's appearance. After walking for nearly a mile or so, there was no end in sight.
It is conceivable that the city built under the yellow sand thousands of years ago, how magnificent the underwater palace is, but it is a pity that it was buried by a rare sandstorm, and since then this wonder has disappeared from the sight of the world.
"There is light, could it be the exit?" In the distance of the corridor, a spot of light appeared, and Shangguan Yanran shouted excitedly.
Lu Ming and Alan were silent. They knew that the underwater palace buried under the yellow sand had no exit to the outside world at all, otherwise it would have been discovered by treasure hunters for thousands of years.
Under the leadership of Lu Ming, everyone continued to walk along the corridor towards the light.
As it got closer, the light became brighter, and there was no need for a flashlight to illuminate it.
Ge Yun, who was following behind them, smiled excitedly, with a cold killing intent hidden in his eyes, and glanced at Lu Ming's back from afar. Once he leaves this ghostly place, he must order Ge Long to kill Lu Ming immediately. kill!
Turning a corner, Lu Ming stopped. He was shocked by everything in front of him, and at the same time he let out a long sigh.
