Chapter 154 Lost in the Desert 11

This one is undoubtedly surprising at first glance.

Behind the Sun Gate is indeed the structure of a palace, but it is different from what they imagined - there is no splendor, no extravagant construction, and even the things before this palace are not as much as the gold leaf that adorns the Sun Gate.

After entering, it is clearly another cave that seems to have not been excavated.

No, it's still different. There are steps extending to the top in the middle, and a coffin is placed on the top where the throne should be placed.

With the stone steps as the boundary, there are two sculptures about two meters high standing on both sides. The one on the left is a white giant snake sculpture, with its head raised and a snake letter attacking the other side.

On the other side of the stone steps, there is a large lizard with a dark red body and a distorted human face on its back. It has thick limbs and sharp teeth, and it also poses to attack the giant snake.

Looking up, there are colorful murals painted on the top of the high dome, and the murals are painted from the dome to the surrounding walls, but there is nothing else.

"Where's the doctor?"

"Isn't Dr. Cao here?!"

Xiaowei and Feng Gu scanned the entire palace, but they didn't see a single figure other than them. They couldn't believe that they had already come here, why Dr. Cao still disappeared.

Feng Gu stepped forward and ran around the wall.

However, after going back and forth, he didn't even spare the corners, but he didn't even find a single hair of Dr. Cao.

"What's going on, why isn't Dr. Cao here yet, where else?!" Feng Gu tugged at his hair, his always determined expression couldn't help but look a little depressed at this moment.

He even sat down on the stone steps as if he was tired.

Xiaowei is more desperate than Feng Gu.

Ah Ye's eyes flickered, and when he saw this, he comforted him: "Captain, there is still a place we haven't found. Maybe we can take a look on the stone steps. Isn't there a coffin there?"

Yes, and above.

Feng Gu immediately got up and walked towards the top of the stone steps.

After Wu Xia heard the words for a long time, he raised his head and looked at the top of the stone steps——the coffin placed in the center undoubtedly looked like the coffin placed by King Loulan in terms of its shape and specifications.

But it seems a little strange to place it on the stone steps on the bright side...

The sun gate was opened before, which means that Dr. Cao and others must have entered it, but why is there no one there.

Where did Dr. Cao and others go?

Thinking of this, Wu Xiajiu was not in a hurry to go up the stone steps, but raised his head to look at the murals on the dome.

Before that, Wu Xia hooked Shi Shangzuo's finger without a trace for a long time, and tugged in the direction of the stone steps.

Shi Shangzuo understood immediately, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, he walked up the stone steps and came to the side of the coffin step by step. Tang Yunsi was with him.

After going up, Tang Yunsi saw that the coffin was opened, so he said it immediately.

"So, this coffin was opened by Dr. Cao?" Gesang said.

There was a small gap in the coffin, and I don't know if it was not replaced later, or it was only opened a little - Gesang preferred the former.

But Gesang thought, if Dr. Cao had the personality to put the coffin lid back on, he wouldn't be so careless.

So Gesang asked Xiaowei.

Xiaowei's cheeks became more swollen, and his expression was in a trance.

After Gesang asked both sides, he seemed to force out his voice and replied: "No, that's right, the doctor strives for perfection in everything he does, and it is impossible to leave a gap after closing the coffin lid again, unless... ..."

Wild Python: "Unless Dr. Cao and they have to leave before they can build it in time."

Old Xiao frowned: "But where did Dr. Cao and the others leave? Besides the desert, where can they go? Could it be that there is another layer under this layer?"

"How deep do you have to dig, the third floor feels like it's the end here, and the bottom..."

The old Xiao shook his head, feeling unimaginable and absolutely impossible.

He said: "It can't be that Dr. Cao and the others have returned to the desert from here? Then why do we come in, isn't this a waste of time?"

If so, how funny.

"Perhaps... Dr. Cao and the others went to Lop Nur." At this time, Wu Xiajiu's light voice came from under the stone steps.

Feng Gu, Xiaowei, Ye Mang and others immediately turned their heads to look.

Ah Ye did not follow Feng Gu up the stone steps before, but also stayed below, raised his head and looked at the murals on the dome like Wu Xiajiu.

The dome is not low, the murals are colorful, the characters are abstract, and they seem to be messy and out of order.

Li Mao just glanced at it, and felt confused and had a headache. He didn't know where to look. After wandering around for a long time, he was just about to walk up the stone steps when he heard Wu Xiajiu say this.

Li Mao said immediately: "Do you understand?!"

Wu Xiajiu: "The last two kings of Loulan City are a pair of sisters and brothers. The elder sister, the Queen of Loulan, succeeds first and is loved by the people of Loulan."

"At that time, Loulan City was built near Lop Nur, with abundant water resources, cattle, sheep and grass."

"Later, due to wars, plagues and natural disasters, Lop Nur disappeared. The Queen of Loulan planned to take the people of Loulan to migrate with Lop Nur, and to build Loulan City again in another place."

"But King Loulan disagrees. He thinks that Loulan City can't stand it anymore, so he plans to stay here..."

The murals here complement some of the information on the second floor of the underground palace, but the more Wu Xiajiu looked at it, the more frightened he felt.

One of the murals shows Queen Loulan standing in front, while King Loulan is holding a dagger in the back, as if trying to attack Queen Loulan.

But the Queen of Loulan discovered the restlessness and kindness of King Loulan, and took the lead in restraining King Loulan and imprisoning him.

But not long after, the increasingly drier climate forced Queen Loulan to release King Loulan. She planned to take the people away, but some people in Loulan City supported King Loulan and did not want to trek with Queen Loulan.

They held torches and approached the palace to demonstrate. Forced to do so, Queen Loulan released King Loulan and divided Loulan into two. She led some people to leave here.

King Loulan said to the outside world that Queen Loulan had abandoned them.

After that, the surrounding area of ​​Loulan City became a desert wasteland. The cattle and sheep gradually disappeared, and they could no longer find a drop of water. The people who stayed in the city began to dig underground.

They dug deeper and deeper until they got here and found an underground river.

However, this underground river could not keep them fully alive.

Because King Loulan brutally murdered.

He is still conducting an experiment - this is also the scene that Wu Xiajiu didn't see in the stone room a long time ago. He used the jade stone with two fish connected end to end to make a replica.

In the mural, the unpainted room showed that King Loulan was doing various experiments, cutting off the hair of the chosen person, letting blood, or putting people into the water to suffocate...

In the end, King Loulan found a way to make a clone. When the Pisces jade was put into the water, the person was also put into the water together after certain conditions were met.

The murals did not show how many days they waited, but after the person woke up from the water, another identical body was also produced—exactly the same, with the same appearance and height.

But in the depiction of the murals, the lifespan of the replicants is quite short, and they will soon face death.

Later, the ancient Loulan became more and more dilapidated, and the number of people decreased. When most of the houses in the city began to be covered by yellow sand, King Loulan led the remaining people into the underground palace.

But this is not a long-term solution.

Therefore, King Loulan decided to leave to find Queen Loulan.

In a mural, King Loulan is looking into the distance, and he is looking at a green lake and beautiful scenery, and there is a figure standing beside the lake.

According to the previous drawing of clothes, etc., Wu Xiajiu could tell that it was the figure of Queen Loulan.

Is there an inexplicable connection between Queen Loulan and King Loulan with twins?

Otherwise, why did such a picture be shown on the mural - King Loulan seemed to be able to see Queen Loulan out of thin air.

Queen Loulan found Lop Nur, which disappeared after migration.

After finding clues to Queen Loulan, King Loulan didn't want to leave with a large number of people.

He made a replica for himself, and then left the replica in the underground palace, that is, in the coffin, and then disappeared.

At the end of the mural, the exit of the entire underground palace was closed, and everyone was trapped inside until they died.

So far, the ancient city of Loulan has also been buried by the desert.

Knowing the cause and effect, Shi Shangzuo pushed open the coffin lid with one hand—there was only a dead bone in a gorgeous dress, and there were no funeral objects, which was extremely simple.

But other than that, Feng Gu found something inside that belonged to Dr. Cao.

A fountain pen with Dr. Cao's name engraved on it.

Feng Gu picked up the pen and turned off the cap, but found that the nib was severely worn out. Before he could speak, he heard Shi Shangzuo say: "Turn over the coffin lid."

Gesang immediately helped.

After the coffin lid was turned over, as expected, Dr. Cao drew some words and pictures with the tip of a pen on the back of the coffin lid.

It roughly means that after they came down from the second floor of the underground palace, they came all the way to the Sun Gate, without passing through the miniature Loulan City in front.

Dr. Cao originally wanted to study, but they were exhausted after being trapped underground for many days, so they did not step into the cave for safety.

They entered the Sun Gate and saw a stone slab in the coffin, but they had just picked up the slate when an accident happened and the slate shattered into powder.

Dr. Cao had no choice but to record what was on the slate on the back of the coffin lid.

This is the way to leave the Tomb of the Sun and go to Lop Nur.

King Loulan didn't actually leave the underground palace after he made his replica, but dug along the underground river. There is no word on the stone slabs whether King Loulan finally found Queen Loulan and Lop Nur.

After all, he left the slate just before leaving the underground palace.

But King Loulan searched according to the direction he sensed. The underground water system is connected to each other. The small underground river he found under the desert must also lead to Lop Nur.

So, King Loulan left from here.

But he sealed the underground palace above, but not here. He left himself a way out—in case the Queen of Loulan and Lop Nur were not found, he could return, die in this tomb of the sun, and drag out the corpse of the clone , Lie in by yourself.

But judging from the situation, King Loulan should have found Queen Loulan and Lop Nur, but did not come back.

"What's the solution?" Li Mao asked hastily before he finished reading.

Feng Gu said: "Dr. Cao wrote that the way out is under that giant snake sculpture..."

Before Feng Gu finished speaking, Li Mao rushed to the giant snake sculpture. Where is the bottom...?

This giant snake seems to represent the Queen of Loulan. Wu Xiajiu remembered seeing the giant snake emerge from the water in Lop Nur in the murals of the underground palace, slowly swim to the Queen of Loulan, and presented two treasures to the Queen of Loulan.

If you guess correctly, these two treasures should come from the bottom of the lake in Lop Nur.

And this giant white snake also lives in it.

So, this giant lizard with a human face was raised by King Loulan?

Are those lizard monsters outside the Sun Gate another experiment created by King Loulan, turning people into lizard monsters... Bitter Melon is like this.

Also, the situation of Jiyu, Xiaowei and Jiugui doesn't seem to be going well.

The tail of this giant snake is hovering, the upper body is erected upright, and it is spitting out snake letters in an attacking posture. The bottom exit mentioned by Dr. Cao should be at the tail of the snake.

But Li Mao searched around the tail of the snake for a long time but found nothing.

He was so angry that he went back and looked at Dr. Cao's message on the back of the coffin lid, and said, "Didn't Dr. Cao mention how to open the exit?"

Feng Gu said: "Dr. Cao said that shortly after the stone slab was turned into powder, a downward passage appeared in the middle of the snake's tail. He drew the approximate location of the passage here."

"But now there is no stone slab, and we don't know where the opening mechanism is. In other words, we still have to look here carefully."

Wild Python frowned and said, "Is it the downward passage again?"

Ah Ye: "Since we searched for the disappeared Lop Nur from the underground river, it means that the route taken by King Loulan must also be underground, not a downward passage, could it be an upward one?"

Wild Mang glanced at Ah Ye, but said nothing.

Wu Xia glanced at the two without a trace for a long time, frowning slightly but then immediately let go, always feeling a little weird in his heart.

The Sun Gate was very heavy and thick, and those lizard monsters were locked outside. Although there were knocking sounds from time to time, the stone gate did not shake at all.

It can be seen that the lizard monster cannot break through the stone door.

For this reason, they were more or less relieved, and began to concentrate on finding where the mechanism to open the way was.

Mi Zheng secretly sighed, this is much easier than cracking the way out on the second floor of the underground palace.

But he spoke too soon.

They almost searched the entire palace, and almost dug three feet into the ground, but they didn't even find any clues of the mechanism.

This is strange.

As time passed, the patience of Wild Mang, Lao Xiao and others was gradually consumed, their brows became more and more wrinkled, and their faces became gloomy.

Not only that, Shiyu, Xiaowei, and Jiugui's health got worse and worse. After searching for a circle, they lost their strength and sat down on the side just like the bitter gourd before. …

"Fuck, where is the mechanism?! Can we still leave?" Li Mao cursed violently, ran to the tail of the giant snake sculpture and kicked it hard, but nothing came off it.

The sculpture as a whole looks very hard and cannot be damaged by human beings.

Therefore, they seemed to be in a stalemate, unable to find a mechanism, unable to open a way out, and unable to leave to find Dr. Cao.

This is almost exactly the same as on the second floor of the underground palace.

But on the second floor of the underground palace, there are still clues for them to find out where the mechanism is and crack the way out, but here, even Dr. Cao didn't leave any useful information for them.

The only useful news is that the way out is under the tail of the snake, but they can't push it to this sculpture that can be more than two or three meters high, which is completely impossible.

What's more, even if the sculpture can be destroyed, what if the exit below is also destroyed and blocked by them?

At that time, they will be even more unable to leave.

For a while, even Wu Xiajiu didn't think of a way to find out the mechanism, and he had no clue, or... After the way out appeared once, this place has become a dead end.

There is no agency at all, and they can't leave at all.

This guess, Wu Xiajiu did not express it clearly, but wild pythons and scientists are not fools, so naturally they have some ideas...

At this moment, the drunkard suddenly walked in the direction of Shimen.

Nie Su and Lao Xiao looked at each other.

The old xiao hurriedly caught up and pressed the drunkard's shoulder and asked, "Drunkard, what are you going to do?"

The drunkard shook off Old Xiao's hand, and said in a voice: "Go kill a lizard monster, peel off its body and see if it doesn't work, eat the flesh of the lizard monster, drink its blood, and see if it works." It cannot be detoxified."

He's had enough.

If he waits any longer, if the mechanism is not found, he will die first.

As soon as the drunkard's words came out, before the old Xiao said anything, Li Mao objected first: "No way! If you open the stone gate and go out, isn't that just letting those lizard monsters in?! You want to kill us?"

"No, you can't go out!"

The drunkard sneered: "I'm going out, you can stop me if you have the ability."

As he spoke, he pressed one hand on the bracelet, and a strangely shaped prop appeared.

"Drunkard..." Seeing that the drunkard took out an S-level item, the old owl's face changed, realizing that the drunkard was serious, he couldn't help shouting, but as a companion, he really had no position to stop it.

"I don't want to wait to die." The drunkard said to Lao Xiao.

Nie Su also came to the two of them at this time, rubbed his chin with his fingers and said, "Very good, I think the drunkard's idea is good, dare to try it, in case it is really detoxified."

"We can't be trapped here now, watching the drunkard die, I'll help you,"

With that said, Nie Su took out a sharp knife from his pocket.

Seeing this, the old owl gave him a blank look, and cursed: "Don't add fuel to the flames, it would be nice if your knife can cut the skin of those lizard monsters."

He is well aware of the character of scientists who fear that the world will not be chaotic.

But what's the trouble now.

If the drunkards were really allowed to open the door, the stone door would be extremely heavy. After opening, they would have no time to close the stone door quickly, and the lizard monster would definitely break in.

Furthermore, the drunkard was poisoned and could not move smoothly. The old xiao couldn't let him go out alone to deal with the lizard monster.

but……

He, the scientist, and the alcoholic are a team, but the others are not. They have no obligation to agree to let the alcoholic open the stone door and attract danger.

Wu Xiajiu sat on the stone steps, with one leg bent and the other stretched, resting temporarily, while Shi Shangzuo sat on the steps behind him. Wu Xiajiu only needed to lean back to lean on his back. legs.

At this moment, the two were staring at the scientist and the others with the same expressionless faces.

As for Tang Yunsi, Lu Nan stood together.

As for Fang Zi, he ran to sit on the sculpture of the giant lizard with a human face.

Fang Zi touched the rough texture of the sculpture under his body, swayed his legs and said with a smile: "It's just a drunkard, how can he go out alone, Shi Yu and Xiaowei were also poisoned."

"Otherwise, the two of them will go out with the alcoholic. Let's be a companion and go detoxify together."

Shi Yu raised his eyes weakly, touched the bracelet with one hand, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.

It's good to go out like this.

In case, in case the flesh and blood of the lizard monster can really detoxify, if she gives it a go, she may continue to live, otherwise...

When Jiyu thought of the last appearance of Bitter Melon, she couldn't help shivering, she didn't want to become like that.

After thinking about it, Shi Yu stood up and walked towards the drunkard, expressing her intentions with actions.

Wu Xiajiu's eyes flashed, he didn't speak, just put one arm on his bent knee, supporting his face.

Fangzi has a bad personality, especially for people who are not his companions.

He turned his head to look at Xiaowei again, and said, "Aren't you going? Hey, I forgot that you are powerless, so just wait here. After the two of them kill a lizard monster, there may be a difference." You order flesh and blood."

Xiaowei hesitated to speak.

Fang Zi smiled and wanted to say something else.

At this time, Wu Xiajiu looked at him and said, "Xiao Fang, shut up and stop talking."

Is this kid trying to spread hatred and deserve a beating?

Hearing this, Fang Zi tactfully gestured for the zipper with his fingers around his mouth, indicating that he would not speak, but winked at Wu Xiajiu, looking funny.

Obviously he didn't take what he said earlier.

After all, some problems have to be put on the table. Even if he doesn't say it, if the drunkard insists on opening the stone door, Jiyu and Xiaowei will always be aware of it.

Now, the stone gate is open?Still not open?

If the stone gate is not opened, the alcoholic will inevitably clash with those who disagree. Before they find Dr. Cao, they can't initiate internal strife and consume.

But open the stone gate, and the danger will intensify.

Wild Boa said with a gloomy face, "Even if you open the stone door, can you guarantee that you won't die before killing a lizard monster?"

"Don't harm us then, and you haven't detoxified yourself."

"Oh, then you don't need to worry about it." The drunkard said.

Shi Shangzuo said: "Then open the stone door. Since these lizard monsters can get here from the second floor of the underground palace, they may not be able to find another exit."

"We can't find the agency, so we might as well take a gamble."

Wu Xiajiu withdrew his gaze from looking at the dome, and nodded to Shi Shangzuo.

Sometimes, maybe monsters can find a way out better than people.
