Chapter 81 Devil City

"Where is the Devil City underground?" We all felt quite incredible.

Gu Meidi thought: "After so many years of changes, it is entirely possible that Devil City will be buried by wind and sand!"

"If it weren't for this sudden black dragon sandstorm, we might never have found where Devil City is!" I sighed and said "God bless" three times in my heart.

"Hey! I also have a lot of credit, okay?" Gan Hongxin pouted and twisted his buttocks: "If I hadn't ran over to pee just now, I wouldn't have found that piece of biotite, right?"

"Damn! Are you willing to take credit for it?" Wang Dongyu rubbed his still sore ankle, "If I hadn't pierced through this hollow shell, we wouldn't be able to find the buried one even if we stood around and walked around. Devil City, this is my golden right foot!"

Professor Ye said: "Okay, stop arguing, everyone has merit, and I will reward you well when you get back. Lao Luo, you know the empty shell, and the climbing rope going down will be handed over to you to fix it!"

Lao Luo nodded, took the climbing rope and went looking for a fixed point.

Professor Ye handed me a cigarette, then bit into one himself, and puffed up: "Tuobagu, you have a lot of red spots on the back of your neck, it seems that the poison of the dark flower has deepened! "

I nodded, feeling a little melancholy in my heart.

Professor Ye blew out a smoke ring: "We will go down later, if all goes well, we can drink the holy water today and relieve the poison of the ghost flower on our body!"

"I wish!" I said.

Lao Luo whistled loudly and waved to us: "Professor Ye, you can go down!"

We walked over and surrounded the hollow shell, Professor Ye asked Lao Luo: "Are you sure there is no problem?"

Lao Luo nodded: "Don't worry, I will drive the rivets on the hard rock wall, there is absolutely no problem!"

"Okay!" Professor Ye grabbed the climbing rope, threw the rope into the hollow shell, and the rope fell into the invisible darkness below.

"Down!" Professor Ye jumped into the hollow shell without any hesitation or pause. He controlled the descender on the rope with his hand, and the pulley rolled down with a clatter. His figure quickly disappeared in the dark.

Ten seconds later, Professor Ye stood on the stone ladder circling in the air, flashed wolf eyes at us above, and told us that it was safe below and we could rest assured.

The stone ladder hovering in the air is only about ten meters high from the ground, and we quickly slid down and stood on the stone ladder.

What we didn't expect was that the shape of this stone ladder is really a giant python. The giant python is hovering around and making an attack, and we are standing on the head of the giant python at the moment.The whole giant python is made of black mica, and even the scales on the giant python are carved lifelike.Walking on this giant python stone ladder, I couldn't help the chills down my spine.

"Come and see here!" Professor Ye stretched out half of his body, shining his wolf eyes on the eyes of the giant python.

The eye sockets of the giant python are hollowed out, and there are two torch-shaped lamps inside. It seems that a long time ago, there must have been flames burning in the eyes of the giant python. It is conceivable that when the flames burned, the entire giant python The python is more ferocious.

Lao Luo pulled out the stone ladder, hung one arm on the snake's head, freed up one hand, and took out the windproof lighter to light the lamp inside the snake's eye.

The lamp does not know what kind of grease is contained in it, and it is still able to burn after hundreds of thousands of years.

Then, Lao Luo ignited the lamp in the other snake's eye, and the lamps on both sides were all ignited, and the giant python's eyes soon turned blood red, which looked particularly scary.Needless to say, once the lamp was lit, the sleeping giant python seemed to come alive all of a sudden, full of vitality.

However, something even more unbelievable happened. The two beams of flames were like two streams of blood, flowing from the python's head, along the scale pattern on the giant python's body, and quickly flowing all over the giant python's body.At this time, the giant python seemed to be wearing a fiery red armor, majestic and full of kingly arrogance.

There must be flammable kerosene hidden in the scale pattern of the giant python. As long as the lamps in the snake's eyes are ignited, the kerosene on the python's body will be ignited, thus achieving such a shocking visual effect.While admiring this illusory and real giant python stone ladder, we are also amazed at the wisdom and superb construction technology of the ancients.

"Hiss... roar... hiss... roar..."

Professor Ye, who was walking in front, stopped suddenly: "Did you hear anything?"

"Hiss... roar... hiss... roar..."

We nodded to show we heard.The sound was weird, like the roar of some kind of beast, or the roar of a steam locomotive, but it was mixed with some sharp and harsh noises, anyway, it sounded very uncomfortable, and my goosebumps came out all of a sudden .

"Everyone, be careful!" Professor Ye said.

We walked down the python stone ladder slowly, and the scenery below gradually came into view.

We were surprised to find that in the depths of the surface, there is actually a hidden city, with criss-crossing main roads and row upon row of houses. The buildings here are full of strong Western style.

Lao Luo looked different, and murmured excitedly: "Devil City! This is the Devil City!"

I laughed secretly in my heart, those of us looking for holy water were not so excited, what was he excited about.

"Old Luo, you look very excited?" Gu Meidi also found that something was wrong with Lao Luo.

Lao Luo chuckled dryly: "I grew up outside the Great Wall and heard a lot of rumors about the Devil City. It's really unbelievable to be able to come to the legendary Devil City today, and I might be a little excited!"

There was no obvious problem with Lao Luo's explanation, so we naturally ignored it and wandered into the Devil City.

The arterial roads in the city are very particular. There is a relatively spacious horse path in the center, a pedestrian path on the left and right sides, and a complete drainage system on both sides of the road. It is not difficult to see that the level of civilization in the Devil City has far exceeded that of the Western Regions. Other countries.

Devil City is very quiet, only the sound of our empty footsteps echoing.Walking on the wide street, the pictures of the prosperity of the past passed by us one by one, shouting hawkers, walking caravans, monks turning scriptures, the sound of camel bells, floating in the boundless desert, the magnificent Brahma The song is lingering in the blue sky and white clouds, and the reflection of the castle is rippling in the emerald green lake.

But now, this beautiful fertile soil has turned into sand dunes, and the bustling scrolls are buried in the wind and sand of the years. Only the cold wind is shuttling back and forth, making a frightening whistling sound, as if there are countless lonely ghosts wanton. Wandering, the castle was lifeless and lifeless.

After walking not far, a temple stands in front of us. This temple is beautifully built and magnificent.The temple covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters. In addition to the main hall in the middle, there are two small halls on both sides, which are connected by white jade corridors. The whole temple is in the typical architectural style of the Western Regions. The main color is white. Wide and round, the pointed architectural dome is like a beautiful hat.

The main hall is circular, supported by nine gray and white round pillars, with tassel auspicious clouds carved on the pillars, and the roof of the hall is in the shape of an arch, about ten meters above the ground, covered with colorful paintings full of religious colors, bright colors , Eye-catching.

We retracted our wolf eyes and looked towards the center of the hall, only to see a black statue enshrined in the center of the hall. It was an extremely beautiful woman with exquisite facial features, a tall hairpin coiled on her head, and an indifferent expression.She was lying naked on the side of a black python, her head was supported by her right hand wearing a bracelet, her posture was lazy and charming.The giant python entangled the lower body of the woman, holding her head up and voicing out the message majesticly.

Logically speaking, one is a beautiful woman and the other is a terrifying giant python. Putting these two things together should create an extremely incongruous picture.But what was surprising was that this statue perfectly combined the woman and the giant python, which looked very natural without any awkwardness.

However, what really shocked and puzzled us was that this beautiful woman had three eyes. In addition to the two curved phoenix eyes, there was also an oval-shaped eye in the center of her forehead, which resembled The Erlang God in "Fengshen Bang" gives people an indescribably weird feeling.What's even more weird is that the three eyes are inlaid with three bright red bloodstones, and the red eyes bloom with mysterious colors in the dark.

I don't know why, although this statue is only monotonous black, without other color matching, it still looks thrillingly beautiful, especially the eye on the woman's forehead, which seems to have a kind of magic power that haunts the soul, faintly emerging With evil spirits.

We held our breath and concentrated on walking towards the statue without knowing it. At this moment, there was a crisp sound in the hall, and Han Jing's screams also reached our ears.

We were startled suddenly, and all turned our attention to Han Jing: "What happened?"

Han Jing shined on the ground with her wolf eyes, and her face was reflected in white light, which made her pale: "Skeletons! There are so many skeletons on the ground!"

When we looked down, we couldn't help but gasped. Our attention was all on the statue of the three-eyed woman just now, and we didn't notice that there were white skeletons everywhere on the ground of the hall. Just now, Han Jing accidentally stepped on a white skull.

We looked around with wolf eyes, and found that there were at least hundreds of skeletons in the hall, and many skeletons piled up together, giving people a terrifying feeling of bones like mountains.How could there be so many bones in this temple dedicated to gods?We were puzzled.

Professor Ye squatted next to a skeleton, examined it carefully for a while, and said in a deep voice, "I found these skeletons seem a little weird!"
