Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 125 Jade Tower

The cool breeze outside came in through the small window on the top of the white tower, making the not-so-large space inside very cool.And my legs still didn't stop shaking because of the pleasant coolness.

Sometimes it is like this, the more you want to relax, the more you can't stop tense.

After 10 minutes, we finally stood on the top of the tower, looked around, and found nothing worthy of our attention, only saw a small hole in the middle of the ground.Looking at the entire city from the stands above, I actually have a feeling of traveling to ancient times.

In the long smoke of the desert, a lost city is waiting for the arrival of travelers. After returning to a foreign country, it will sing its glorious epic for future generations.

The three of us sighed at the same time, forgetting the purpose of coming here for a moment.Jiang Shan first broke the silence and talked about the main point.

"Thirteen, just looking at it this way, I didn't find any jade towers? Could it be that we came to the wrong place?"

"No, we discovered this, which means that the Jade Tower must exist somewhere." I looked at the Soul Jade in my hand and said firmly.

"Look at the roof!" Uncle Xiang's sudden words startled both Jiang Shan and me, so we hurriedly looked up.

Right in the middle, there is a rectangular soul jade about two meters long, embedded in the stone on the top of the pagoda.There are no decorative patterns and reliefs on it, so I can't figure out how it was placed in this position.

Jiang Shan said to Uncle Xiang: "Uncle Xiang, do you think this looks like a coffin?"

"Um"

Listening to their conversation, I didn't feel this way, mainly because I felt a little weird.Who would put the coffin in this position?
Jiang Shan started walking around, as if looking for something, and finally squatted in the corner inside and did not move.I didn't know what medicine she was selling in the gourd, so I followed her to see what she was going to do.

It was found that she was looking at the strange patterns engraved on the wall. Although the characters of the era could not be seen, they were not difficult to understand.It's a bit like Egyptian hieroglyphs, which are made up of simple symbols.

I asked her if she understood, but she didn't answer me, she just looked at it carefully and without moving her eyes.Not long after that, she stood up and groped on the wall, her entire face was almost stuck on it.

I thought, Jiang Shan would only be so serious when she discovered something, otherwise she would have to ignore me and give her some time.But when he turned his head and looked out the window, the sky had changed from light blue to blue, and it was believed that it would be dark soon.

"Crack, boom!"

After a restless sound, dust fell on the top of the head.I hurriedly pulled Jiang Shan to the wall, looking at the changing soul jade coffin above.

In a few minutes, the coffin slowly fell to the ground.As the ambient light became dim, I had to turn on the flashlight and look on it.The coffin had already fallen to the ground, but the sound of some mechanism moving seemed to be heard in the ear, but there was no change in the surroundings.There was a feeling of uneasiness in my heart, and I couldn't tell what had changed.

Jiang Shan also turned on the flashlight and looked at it. On the whole, the material of this coffin can be determined to be soul jade.But such a superb polishing technique surprised Uncle Xiang again and again.

"Speaking of which, this city has existed for thousands of years, how could there be such a powerful carving technique at that time?"

Hearing what he said, I wanted to use the Great Wall to refute him, but after thinking about the difference between the two, I didn't make a sound.

"This coffin, I don't even see where the gap is." Jiang Shan's words reminded Uncle Xiang, and he also began to look for the gap above, and then his brows frowned even tighter, and he stretched out his hand to scratch his hair.The white dandruff was very obvious in the light of the flashlight.

Jiang Shan also noticed, and quickly retreated a bit, with a look of disgust on her face.

"Anyway, it's impossible for Xia Juanjuan to be here. Let's go back the same way and find another place." After finishing speaking, I'm about to leave here. up.

The two of them also found it boring, and Uncle Xiang muttered that this thing was too big, otherwise he must take it home and study it carefully.I said to myself, are you doing research?I'm afraid research is fake, but making money is real.

As the saying goes, going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult, and going down the stairs can be regarded as a science.

I've walked down the stairs to hell before, and I regret it.And now, we must also be careful not to go to any strange places.After all, there is a coffin on it, and the ancients liked the symmetrical structure the most, and they might encounter another coffin when they go down.

There are many things in the world that cannot be thought about, because dreams are likely to come true.This time, too.

When I climbed the tower, I did some calculations and walked for more than ten minutes. It was because of me that I slowed down.When I went down, I walked faster than anyone else, but I couldn't get to the end no matter what.Jiang Shan also whispered on the side, "Why is it so dark all of a sudden?"

No, it's better to stop and observe.

Looking around, my heart started to beat.Because I remember that every time I walk up sixteen steps, I will definitely see the small windows on the side of the tower, but now there are dead walls all around, without a single hole.

I told them to turn off the flashlight, and then continued to observe, and found that there was no moonlight outside, and it was extremely dark.

"Quick, go back!"

They didn't know what happened, so they asked me what was wrong.I didn't answer, and walked up directly between the two of them, the tension in my heart had already surpassed the panic about heights.

Not long after, we returned to the front of Poyu's coffin.But in the process of going up, he never saw the previous entrance.

Could it be that ghost hit the wall again?Thinking of this, I just suffocated urine in my stomach, hurriedly took out a water bottle from my backpack, and started to urinate.

Jiang Shan turned around with a blushing face, and said in her mouth, "You don't say anything, I'm really not ashamed."

I was so nervous for a moment that I forgot that there was a girl beside me, and hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, I just thought about whether we encountered a ghost hitting the wall, so I wanted to try using boy urine to see if it can relieve this problem. Condition."

Jiang Shan saw the yellow-orange liquid in my hand, and asked me if I drank too little water. Judging by the color, I seemed to be a little angry.I thought to myself, it's hot and dry here, a young man like me will definitely get angry.

Eating the apple she handed over, I carefully considered what we should do if it wasn't for the ghost hitting the wall.

I looked at the small windows on the wall, like the ones in the illustrations in junior high school history textbooks, the windows of houses used to dry raisins, and I couldn't get out at all.If I jumped from the top, with my current speed of refining Qi, I'm afraid it would take a whole night of tossing.

"Shanshan, where is the mechanism you touched just now?"

She understood what I meant and quickly pointed it out to me.The iron chain on the coffin should use a simple principle such as a pulley.But this mechanism button, but I don't understand how it is designed.Uncle Xiang came over to look at it, and said quickly:
"This is a one-time mechanism, that is, after it is triggered, the structure inside will be destroyed, and there is no way to use it again."

His words made me a little disappointed. It seems that I can only hope that this is just a ghost hitting a wall, otherwise, I will take a risk and go down.

Sighing, I found three pure heart charms from my backpack, distributed them to them, and then walked down quickly.I didn't stop until the windows on the wall disappeared, sprinkled my boy's urine around, and chanted mantras casually, hoping to see the moonlight again when the talismans were burned out.

But I failed, Jiang Shan came to me and held my arm, and said: "It's okay, the big deal is to go down and see, no matter where you go, I will accompany you."

That's right, I don't know what's going on down here, maybe Xia Juanjuan is waiting for us to rescue her down there.

Seeing that we didn't move, Uncle Xiang walked on first.I also took a deep breath, and pulled Jiang Shan to follow.In my heart, I kept praying to the patriarch to bless us smoothly.

However, when I got to the bottom, I found that my prayers did not receive the mercy of the patriarch.Because there is only a plane underneath, and there is no other way to go.

Jiang Shan and I sat on the ground clinging to each other, looked up at the top, and recalled the content recorded on the slate in our minds.

We have found the so-called white sand, and there are quite a few of them.But Yulou didn't see it, let alone the ones behind.Now my eyes are all yellowed by the yellow sand, and I don't even know what the black stone looks like.

Uncle Xiang has been looking for clues, I want to persuade him to take a rest, if it doesn't work for a while, let's go down from the top of the tower.Although I didn't bring a rope, I can also use my own method to go down, and it will take a little more time.

After going around a few times, he began to shift his gaze to the dark ground, looking here and there with the flashlight. After a while, he seemed to have found something.Walk to the position of my feet, push away my big feet of size 46 with my hands, and stare at them carefully.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shan let go of her arm around me, leaned forward to observe, then turned her head with wide eyes and told me to look over.

At this time, there is no time to complain, let's see what new discoveries they have.Thinking, I stepped forward.Under the light of the flashlight, I saw an extremely delicate pattern engraved on the stone bricks on the ground, and the content was an ancient pavilion.

I immediately thought that this might be the "Jade Tower" mentioned on the stone slab, but it couldn't be explained, because the carving was on the stone brick.

In the process of pondering, I took off the heavy backpack and raised my head, trying to relieve the pressure on my cervical spine.Jiang Shan thought I was going to eat, so she quickly imitated me, took off her backpack, and handed me a pack of beef jerky.

After a few crisp sounds of "crack bang bang", I raised my head and opened my eyes, but noticed a little light above.In an instant, I felt like I was electrocuted and thought of something.In my mind, I quickly recalled what I had left behind.After a while, I had a flash of inspiration and giggled silly.

Jiang Shan took a few sips of water and asked what I was laughing at, then wiped the dust off her face, maybe she thought I was laughing at her funny little dirty face.But I told them that I finally figured out what Yulou is.
