red tomb

To be honest, a river in the desert is quite curious, even if it is underground.However, compared with more things before, this is nothing.

So everyone is calm.They led the camels and walked slowly along the edge of the steep cliff. After a while, they found a downward slope.

Su You carefully looked around.Accustomed to seeing the yellow sand all over the sky, a small dark crack is enough to make him feel fresh and eager to try.Not to mention, the seam in front of me is still very abrupt——

This is the hinterland of the desert, and there should be nothing but sand.At least that's what the satellite photos told them before they came.

As a result, what it actually looks like here is a layer of yellow sand covering the canyon below?The sound of the water also twists and turns along the high and steep rock wall, making a kind of deep and pleasant sound one after another...

"... Is there a paradise down here?" Jin Sheng was suspicious.He saw a few clusters of green ball ferns growing on the edge of the cliff opposite... Seriously?There is such a thing in the desert?

"I don't know." Su You said sincerely.He also saw the dark green in the distance, and felt that they probably absorbed the necessary moisture from the air.As for where the water came from, it was beyond his understanding.

As for Jiang Siqi, he felt that the wind blowing against his face was mixed with cold water vapor, which made his dry, scorched skin much more comfortable, and his frowning all the way could not help but slow down.But he couldn't answer Jin Sheng's question, so he turned his head slightly——

Everyone looked at Du Ying who was supposed to be the most knowledgeable.

Du Ying suddenly felt that Yali Mountain was big.He coughed slightly, and said, "I've never been here before... what is certain is that there must be something underneath."

"What's there?" Jin Sheng grasped the tail of this hesitating sentence sensitively.

"I'm not sure," Du Ying said, "I just have a guess..."

"Yes, in the current situation, it's better to have an idea than nothing!" Jin Sheng urged.

This is not in line with Du Ying's cautious nature, but Jin Sheng has said so, so he can't continue to hide it. "It's just a little bit... It's impossible for rivers to appear in the desert for no reason."

These words sounded nonsensical, but Su Youpin had a different taste. "What do you mean by that is like, what we have encountered before is all based on?"

Du Ying shrugged slightly. "At least I think so. Don't you think that some questions have been answered by the facts behind?"

"So, the problem we can't figure out now is just because we don't know enough?" Jiang Siqi reasoned, but quickly frowned.Is not this nonsensical?So he immediately changed the subject: "You mean, there is an answer below?"

Du Ying nodded approvingly. "Probably."

Everyone exchanged glances with each other.In fact, there is no need to discuss this matter; they stumbled all the way here, and they probably only missed the door!Who flinches before taking a shot?

So, when the sun and clouds gathered in the sky at the same time, a group of four people walked down the zigzag path.

The road surface is basically flat, with occasional gravel and moss.Neither narrow nor wide, just enough for a person to lead a camel across.This kind of design can never be formed naturally, but there is no trace of other people left, front, back, left, or right.

Plus, the trail is actually deeper than it appears, and much deeper.When I stood on the top, I felt that the water flow was tens of meters below; however, when I got to that position, the water flow still sounded tens of meters below.

"This place is a bit weird." Su Yu said a problem that everyone has discovered, "No matter how far away it is, the sound sounds like it's nearby."

"Yeah, I can't tell now whether you are in front of me or behind me." Jin Sheng, holding a torch at the head, agreed.Not long after they came down, the darkness and the darkness brought by the depth of the canyon forced him to put on a helmet with a searchlight.Therefore, the torches are not lit to see the road, but to drive away possible beasts and detect the oxygen concentration.

Du Ying was leading two camels strung together behind him, and his eyes never left the valley bottom on the side for a moment—although he couldn't see clearly. "There's something in the way," he whispered, "and we won't know what's down there unless we go all the way."

Jiang Siqi originally wanted to say that we have always had no choice.This was the truth, but it was boring to listen to, so he swallowed it back. "Du Ying, from what you said just now, it seems that you know something that can create a river in the desert?" He asked the doubt that had been circling in his mind since just now.

The conversation started suddenly, Du Ying was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. "It was discovered by you."

"...Do you really know?" Compared to being surprised by Jiang Siqi's insight, Jin Sheng cared more about what Du Ying said and kept the other half.

"I only know one legend." Du Ying said seriously.

Jin Sheng immediately thought of the legend that one can ascend to immortality by ascending the triple cloud on Paiyun Mountain, and couldn't help curling his lips: "If what you said is what I thought, I think it might not be a legend. Or let's put it this way, even if it was before It is a legend, we will definitely have to verify it later!"

The tone was particularly resentful, and Du Ying really wanted to pat Jin Sheng on the shoulder to show comfort.He thought so, and he did. "The place where we stayed yesterday was the ruins of Qingyinguan. This has been confirmed. But do you know, or have you ever heard, why Qingyinguan is called Qingyinguan?"

"Why?" Su You asked immediately, obviously not bothering to think about it at all.

Jin Sheng despised this behavior very much.But on the other hand, he had to admit, he didn't know, and was just waiting for an answer.

Du Ying was annoyed and amused by the reaction of these two people.However, he didn't really want to show off, so he continued: "As the name suggests."

"What?" Su You touched his chin, "You mean, that city looks like a bluestone seal? It can't be because there is a bluestone seal in the city, right?"

As a result, Du Ying immediately affirmed Su You's conjecture that was impossible. "There is a bluestone seal." He nodded, "People in the former Jin Dynasty regarded it as one of the national treasures."

"What is the emergy value of bluestone..." Jiang Siqi wanted to say as soon as he opened his mouth, a national treasure must be a jade seal or something-although He's Bi has a stone shell, it still has jade inside!But he immediately thought of what they were talking about: "Wait? You don't mean that the bluestone seal can turn the desert into an oasis, do you?" He had an expression of disbelief.

But Du Ying nodded again. "Whether it's true or not, everyone believed so firmly at the time. Because of the existence of Qingshiyin, Qingyinguan became one of the strongest fortresses in the former Jin Dynasty, which was enough to drag down three times its own troops—because they were in the city. There is always a supply!"

Jin Sheng was silent for a while. "You mean, even if there is no one in the city, it will provide its own water?"

Du Ying nodded for the third time. "You've all seen those wolves, right? In fact, before Qingyin Pass was established, it was the best oasis in the desert, and it was also the sand wolf's favorite drinking place."

Several people fluffed up together.Building a city in the sand wolf's den is also very courageous!

"You have all seen the results later on." Du Ying said, "People guarded against wolves, but they failed to guard against humans. After the fall of the former Jin Dynasty, the bluestone seal was also missing."

According to normal logic, since the bluestone seal is a treasure, it is most likely to fall into the hands of the victor—that is, the former Qin—and then be dedicated to their supreme leader, Ying Qi.

Any normal emperor would want to show off his achievements, more or less.If such treasures are not left to future generations, there is only one place to go——

Funeral!

"Fuck, is the tomb below?" Everyone came to the same conclusion with one voice.

"This possibility is not ruled out." Du Ying's conservative answer was unanimously stared at, and he could only modify one sentence: "It is also the greatest possibility at present."

"But..." Jin Sheng still couldn't believe it.

It's not that Ying Qi's tomb is worthless, but what about the city of Hasar?

But then again, one of the purposes of their search for Hasar City was for the possible existence of the Kunlun cup; now that it is replaced by Ying Qi's tomb, the possibility of the existence of the Kunlun cup is not low, right?The other purpose is to solve the strange things that happened to Su You and Jiang Siqi... Well, the person who tied the bell needs to be untied. They really have to find Ying Qi himself first!

Different from Jin Sheng's focus, Jiang Siqi is more concerned about the other side for the time being. "If the legend is true, then there must be water around the bluestone seal... If it is at the bottom, it can explain the source of the river." He nodded as he spoke, and then asked another question: "However, the water leak in the tomb seems to be the source of the river." Is Feng Shui taboo?"

Under normal circumstances, even if the tomb must be built by the river, it must be on the groundwater level!They have now gone hundreds of meters underground, and they haven't seen the river yet; at such a depth, what kind of good cave can really be built?Which emperor's mausoleum will be turned into a gloomy version that never sees the light of day?

"It's usually like this." Du Ying affirmed this guess. "My personal preference is that there must be some clever mechanism to avoid water."

Nobody was stupid enough to disagree with what he said.In fact, it could be argued that if everything had made sense, they wouldn't be here now!

After another half an hour, the sound of water that had been lingering in my ears finally became a little louder.At the same time, the zigzag path came to an end.The fire broke through the deep darkness, and a vast silvery water surface appeared in front of them——

It sounded like a small river, but it turned out to be a big river!
