Fast Travel: I Don't Want to Save the World

Chapter 291 Pool
About half an hour away, you can see an ancient city.

Ye Qing detected it with his spiritual sense, and found that there was no life phenomenon in the city, and there would be no Professor Gu, Jin Xi and others they were looking for, so there was no need for them to move on.

In the afternoon, they returned the same way.

Before dark, return to the low wall again.

"We're back again?" Shelley stared at the low wall.

Ye Qing said lightly: "We will return to that underground labyrinth."

"Don't—" Xie Lai held his head, crying like ghosts and wolves.

On the afternoon of the third day, the low wall began to react. The four people stood by the low wall, and an invisible force pulled them down. Because of the first experience, when the four fell down, there was no stacked Arhat. Case.

Similar to the situation in the previous few days, they walked through a passage and came to a house with a pool.

"Why do we come back here? Can we not go through the maze? I'm afraid of the dark..." Xie Lai looked like crying.

Ye Qing gave Xie Lai a piece of beef jerky: "Stop talking."

She stared at the pool, walked around it once, and then around again.

Yesterday, she saw an ancient city in one direction to the west.

Actually, there shouldn't be an ancient city there.

Before coming to Lop Nur, Ye Qing had already looked at the map, and she clearly remembered which places were marked with ruins, which places had water sources, and which places had no grass growing.

From the bottom of the maze to the ground, they did see a low wall, and found two mummies outside the low wall, but there was no car they parked here, and at the same time, patterns that did not appear on the low wall.

The answer is imminent.

They didn't come back to the point, they came to another junction.

This should be the place where Professor Gu and the others thought they had returned to the low wall after walking for three days, but in reality, it was the opposite.

And even if they find another low wall, this place is not the space where they were originally.

why?
Because Ye Qing saw an ancient city.

When the four of them returned to the maze again and saw that side of the pool, she was sure of the bold guess in her heart.

The low wall is a hub station, used to transport creatures or other things. The maze is a transportation line. There is a hub station on each line, and the exit point of the platform is fixed at a certain place.

And this pool...

Shelley gnawed on the beef jerky and asked, "What are you staring at this pool for?"

"Come here." Ye Qing waved to him, Xie Yi leaned over, staring at the water surface intently, the next moment, she grabbed his collar: "Close your eyes."

At the same time, Ye Qing used his spiritual sense to transmit a voice to Shi Yin: "Take Qi Huaimei and dance."

Ye Qing and Xie Lai jumped into the pool, Shi Yin had no choice but to pull her arm: "Sorry."

The pool was only about ten centimeters high, but all four of them jumped into it.

In a few seconds, the water surface returned to its original state without any fluctuations.

Outside the pool is a layer of yellow mud, about ten centimeters, of which 95% of the upper part is light water, and the lower part is up to 5% heavy water.

Light water, that is, ordinary water used in daily life.

Heavy water refers to the water formed by the combination of heavy hydrogen and oxygen.

Heavy water is mainly used as a moderator in nuclear reactors, which can reduce the speed of neutrons to meet the needs of the fission process.Heavy water is also a material used in the study of chemical and physiological changes.Concentrated and pure heavy water cannot maintain the life of animals and plants like light water, and its lethal concentration is 60%-80%.

Although heavy water is a precious resource in cutting-edge technology, it is harmful to people.

Humans cannot drink heavy water. Microorganisms and fish will die within a few hours in pure heavy water or water containing more heavy water.

However, light water, which contains very little heavy water, can stimulate biological growth.

Ye Qing couldn't figure out the reason, and the four of them passed through the pool from that side, and then fell from the sky.

After two or three seconds of darkness, they fell and landed on the ground. Looking at the scene ahead, they couldn't help being stunned.

"Am I dreaming?" Xie Lai took Ye Qing's hand and put it on her cheek: "Pinch me, pinch the point!"

"Oh my god, we've crossed over!" Qi Huaimei exclaimed, covering her mouth.

Shi Yin looked at the ancient city under the hillside, and said with surprise: "Ancient?"

Ye Qing withdrew his gaze and asked a few people to walk down the hill: "It's not Shang Gu."

"At noon yesterday, we walked west for another half an hour, and we could see an ancient city, which was more than [-]% similar to the ancient city we see now. The difference between the two lies in the past and present."

"Past and Present?"

"In the ancient city I saw yesterday, there were no living things in it, and the whole city was empty. As you can see, there are endless streams of people just outside the city."

"Why are we here?"

"Because we traveled through, the pool under the low wall is connected to a certain time and space."

When Ye Qing used the word "time travel", Xie Lai and Qi Huaimei couldn't help but get excited. After all, everyone has only seen the protagonist travel back to a certain time and space in novels, movies, and TV dramas.

"Where have we traveled to? Which dynasty is it now?"

"Maybe it's still in the northwest of China." Ye Qing took two sets of clothes and asked Xie Lai and Qi Huaimei to change into them.

After several people had changed from modern clothes to ancient ones, she told them: "Once you enter the city, first, you are not allowed to speak, including talking to yourself; second, you are not allowed to touch anything; third, You must never walk away alone, even if you want to pee, you must be accompanied by me or Shisan!"

"Why? It's hard to travel through, how can you kill our time travel dream at the bottom of this broken earth!"

Ye Qing greeted her with a slap: "We are here to find someone!"

Five minutes later, they walked from the slope to the ancient city.

On the main road outside the ancient city, it can be said that there is a lot of traffic.

Several ancient Chinese caravans were heading west, and the wind blew over the corner of the bamboo strips on the car cage. Ye Qing saw that it was full of silk and porcelain, and someone pulled two boxes of iron, while some blond and blue-eyed western faces were heading east. Driving, ready to enter the ancient city, they led the horses, carrying several large bags on their backs.

Intuition told Ye Qing that the ancient city not far away should be related to the "Silk Road".

The Silk Road is in the middle of XJ, which was called "Northern Road" in Han Dynasty.If it is changed to the current place name, it is from Hami via the Jiaohe Ancient City in the TLF Basin, along the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and the Tarim River to the west, arriving at KS, and leaving the country via Taxkorgan.

Among them, Gaochang, Jiaohe, Luntai, Qiuci, and Shule are all famous historical cities on the middle route of the Silk Road.

The ancient city they passed through should be one of the many ancient cities on the Silk Road.

Judging from the size of the ancient city, it is already lively, so it should be a fortress.

It took about ten minutes to walk into the city. Along the way, Ye Qing noticed that the plants on the side of the road were very strange. The common green plants here were almost all dark brown, and some plants even became very deformed.

Suddenly, a vulture flew over their heads.

She glanced up.

Vultures are large raptors that live on carrion. Generally speaking, the body length is about 1.2 meters, but the vulture that just flew over is 2 meters long, and it has two pairs of wings!

Ye Qing was puzzled, did they really come to ancient times?
