Chapter 46 The Taotie Gate

The next morning, the wind was sunny and the weather was too brilliant.The lonely city of sand dunes is desolate and magnificent.

"It's cold at night, and it's hot in the morning." Jin Sheng complained as soon as he got up, his voice was muffled, because he was brushing his teeth.

"Is the water you brought enough?" Just in case, Su You only dared to rinse his mouth.

Standing on the edge of the gap in the city wall, Jin Sheng glanced back at Su You when he heard the words. "There's no hope of taking a shower, and you don't clean your mouth. That's really unbearable."

His words were unintentional, but both Su You and Jiang Siqi froze for a moment.Neither of them will forget what the two of them did last night.The exact description is that Jiang Siqi used his mouth to make Su You want to die once, and then accidentally smacked him.

This thing is really exciting, the naughty things they have done since they were young are not as exciting as this time.The reason why I say feeling is because Jiang Siqi is willing, but Su You can't deny that he has feelings.

Because the two had ghosts in their hearts, when Jin Sheng said that his mouth was not clean, he couldn't control himself from bringing it in.If Jin Sheng was already awake then...

Su You's face turned pale and dark again, and he resolutely rejected his terrible imagination.Instead, he handed Jiang Siqi his own water and said, "Go and wash."

Jiang Siqi obviously also wanted to be wrong.There was a strong wind at night, and he really couldn't wash himself in the tent, so he had to wipe it with a tissue.But now, even if he wants to say that he's okay and he's happy, the timing is wrong—Jin Sheng is right next to him!

"Oh." He replied in a muffled voice, took the water bottle, and turned to the outside of the gap.

"What's the matter with you two?" Jin Sheng squinted at Jiang Siqi as he passed by. "It feels weird." Mingming was still so sticky before going to bed last night that he blinded people's eyes!

"It's nothing, it's just your illusion." Su Yu said quickly.

"Really?" Jin Sheng raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

Su You gave Jiang Siqi water and asked Jiang Siqi to wash his face and brush his teeth. What would Jiang Siqi not like?Water is so precious now, even he doesn't get this kind of treatment, okay?

Su You knew very well what each of Jin Sheng's small expressions represented, and when he raised his eyebrows, he knew something bad was going to happen, so he quickly changed the subject. "Eat quickly when you're done, and dig out the door lock early."

"That's true." This hits on the fact that Jin Sheng is more concerned about now.He put down the water bottle and toothbrush, ate some biscuits casually, and walked to Su You's side, and the two of them knocked on the half door together.

Although the lower half of the door is in the loess, judging from the upper half, it is a very normal door - neat copper nails, and long strips of iron hoops covering the entire facade.Of course, it is normal to talk about the standard; if its thickness is comparable to that of the city wall, it is definitely not normal.

Jin Sheng has touched all of them, including the door frame, but found nothing. "It seems that there is no mechanism or hidden weapon," he said, "you have to try to pick the lock, or you have to force it."

Su You took a small iron catalpa and dug a hole in front of the door.The loess blown down by the wind and sand is not solid, this is not too difficult.A hard object in the shape of a beast's head gradually reveals its shape from inside, until it reaches the whole.

"This thing also looks normal." Jiang Siqi squatted on the edge of the pit, twisting his chin.He came back just now, but Su You didn't let him intervene, so he could only watch from the sidelines.

Jin Sheng knelt down and brushed the loess off the animal's head.Inside are two ferocious beast heads made of bronze, with big mouths and four long fangs bent out.

"I don't think this thing is normal." Jin Sheng frowned, "This kind of decoration was not popular in the former Qin Dynasty. I checked, and their totem is the green harrier, which is the big bird on both sides in front of the Qin Temple in Lishan. "

"Maybe a fierce beast is needed on the door to guard the house?" Su You, who was leaning on an iron catalpa, proposed an idea.

Jin Sheng shook his head. "If you don't know him, then I probably think so too." He opened his notebook as he spoke, and quickly called up a picture in the database. "Look at this, isn't it exactly the same?"

That picture is a restored flag with an obvious pattern and a gluttonous head.And the one on the door looks like its head.

"I remembered," Jiang Siqi was inspired, "This is another nomad in the Heyuan area, the Ji family of the former Jin Dynasty. To be honest, they have a bad relationship with the Ying family of the former Qin Dynasty." He met Su You's puzzled gaze, He added: "In fact, they are deadly enemies."

"It's a bit of a stretch to say it's the Heyuan area, because after all their main activities are outside the customs," Jin Sheng added. "Some members of the Ying family gave up riding and hunting and chose farming, and then gradually developed and expanded until the former Qin was finally established. The Ji family advocated force and still focused on animal husbandry. The former Jin was established earlier than the former Qin, and when it had the largest territory, it could To the Arctic Northwest." He shrugged his shoulders as he said, "It's just that they have never been able to enter the Central Plains, so everyone is still arguing about whether it is a part of our country's history."

Su You's understanding of history is basically limited to what he learned in junior high school. "I only know that the former Qin Dynasty finally destroyed the former Jin Dynasty." It is that the territory of the former Jin Dynasty is not easy to manage-too large and sparsely populated-so it will become other countries later.

Jin Sheng nodded. "That's right," he ran his hand back and forth on the animal's head, "but we followed the clues of the former Qin Dynasty, why did we find the ancient city of the former Jin Dynasty?"

This is indeed a problem.What they have been looking for are all the Kunlun cups from the former Qin Dynasty, and there are probably none in the former Jin Dynasty.But if they just leave like this, they seem to be quite unwilling-they have all gone through so many difficulties!

Jiang Siqi suddenly reached out to push the bronze door knocker. "Damn it," he tried for a long time, his face turned red, "this thing is dead!"

"Are you kidding?" Jin Sheng was almost amused, "If it is so easy to open, is it still a door that is more than 2000 years old?" He tentatively pushed hard, and then concluded: "It doesn't move, it's like pouring cement. .”

Jiang Siqi didn't even bother to stare at him, and started to sulk with himself.No, this door didn't respond to him, did they really go the wrong way?

In Su You's eyes, this kind of resentment turned into something else—too strong. "We just dug out a lock, so don't be so impatient!" He smoothed things over, sliding his hand down the iron tree, just touching the door knocker, "Wait for me..."

--boom!

I don't know where it collapsed, and the loess and sand immediately flew all over the sky.The three of them were caught off guard, and felt that the soles of their feet were collapsing, and when they regained their senses, they had already become Huangtu people.

"...Trough!" Jin Sheng struggled to sit up, and sincerely cursed. "What happened?" His eyes were lost, and his mouth was filled with sand!

"I don't know..." Jiang Siqi also fell into a daze, at least he felt that he rolled down several times. "Brother? Brother?" He burst into tears, trying to fan away the yellow fog in front of his eyes while calling.

"I'm here..." Su You's voice sounded from between the two of them, accompanied by the sound of hands and feet scraping on the sandy surface. "Wait where you are, don't move."

After several minutes, the dust in the field of vision cleared, and the three of them saw the surrounding situation.

They were in an empty, boxy hall.The left and right sides should have been weapon racks, filled with various swords, guns, swords and halberds.But it has a long history, and the metal products have been corroded to the point where they can't see their original appearance; the wooden shelves are also scattered all over the place, maybe it was their movement that scattered them.

Directly opposite the gate is another gate, with a huge stone glutton squatting on both sides.The ground is not loess, but bluestone slabs with rough depressions.The morning sun shines in through the open doorway, which reduces the eerie feeling of the shape, and the simple and majestic feeling is much more obvious.

...wait, an open doorway?

The three natives looked at each other in blank dismay, and it was Jin Sheng on the left who said first, "The door... did he open it by himself?" Otherwise, how could they have rolled in in an instant?

Jiang Siqi was equally confused.Only Suyou looked back - the iron gate was opened, and the loess leaked in from the side, turning into a slope, that's how they entered the gate by falling or rolling -

"I don't think so." He said dryly, "I accidentally touched the door knocker just now."

The other two almost stared at him.

"How is this possible?" Jiang Siqi said in disbelief, "Such a thick door!"

This is correct, the door is clearly half a meter thick when viewed from the side.

Jin Sheng subconsciously wanted to swallow his saliva, but he finally remembered that he still had a mouth full of sand. "It's easy to know if it's true or not." He got up, "Now you can push the door and you'll know. With this kind of texture, the predecessors had to push five people on each side to close it."

Jiang Siqi also stood up.He was a little flustered and even more frightened.It's not because they entered the door, but Su You may also have some unexplainable problems similar to him.This emotion made him nervous, so that he didn't know whether to agree or oppose Jin Sheng's suggestion.

"Then come and try." Su You had already stood up, and walked towards the door upon hearing this.He also doesn't want this supernatural thing to be true, but not hoping can't replace the truth.He walked quickly to the edge of the slope, touched the bronze knocker between the fangs—

"Ding—" There was a small but clear metal impact sound, echoing layer by layer.The originally half-open door receded back and opened completely.

"...Your conjecture is true." Jin Sheng watched Su You only push one door, but both doors opened at the same arc at the same time, and felt that this matter was going to be over——

Jiang Siqi had a great relationship with that piano sage, and then they started looking for the former Qin Kunlun; on the way, he found that he might not be a human being, or he might not be a pure person; now, the only normal person among them— —At least relatively speaking, it is not particularly supernatural—it seems that it has copper skin and iron bones to add infinite force and sound wave resonance?

...how on earth did this happen!Who can remember that they came out just for tourism!
