Chapter 303 Palace Ruins
"Where should I go? Should I step forward and fight this desert, or stay where I am and gamble with my luck?" Chen Ziyang hesitated, after all, this choice was too important to him .

After thinking for a while, and after taking a deep breath, Chen Ziyang stretched out his hand and plucked the mountain ghost gossip money left to him by the old Taoist master from his neck.After untying the rope tied to the spending money, and holding the spending money in his hand, he said to the mountain ghost gossip spending money:

"Master, you have a spirit in heaven, and this apprentice needs your guidance this time. In the tomb of Guo Lizhen in the Eastern Dynasty, you helped me block this bullet. In the underground palace of the ancient Bohai Kingdom, you reminded me again. Rotating gossip array, I know you have been watching me in the sky, this time, I hope you can help me make a choice."

After talking to himself, Chen Ziyang placed the mountain ghost gossip money with the bullet embedded side down on a relatively flat broken wall, and then he squeezed the money A few fingers exerted force, causing the coin to spin at a high speed.

The bullet shot from Qin Liang's gun that was blocked by the mountain ghost gossip before has been integrated with the money.The bullet protruded from the surface of the money, and under the rotation of Chen Ziyang's fingers, the entire mountain ghost gossip money was spun around at a high speed like a spinning top around the bullet.

"If the position is facing forward, I will leave this desert on foot. If the position is facing backward, I will stay here and wait for rescue to solve the mystery of the treasures of this ancient country." Chen Ziyang stared at Huaqian who was spinning at high speed. .

Someone once said that when a person flips a coin to decide a certain matter, he already knows the answer he most wants before the coin lands.Because staring at the coin thrown in the air, the side that this person most hopes the coin will appear is the answer he has chosen in his heart.

The same is true for Chen Ziyang at this time. At this moment, he stared at the spinning mountain ghost gossip and spent money thinking a lot of things. Once again, he quickly compared the two choices, and he made a decision. own decision.

When the spending money stopped spinning, Chen Ziyang saw the stem pattern engraved on the spending money pointing directly at himself, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Master, thank you for your guidance. Our master and apprentice want to go together again." After spending money to tie the mountain ghost gossip around his neck again, Chen Ziyang rubbed his nose and turned to look at the thing he touched before. Shitai went.

Chen Ziyang had already made his choice when Shangui Gossip was spending money to spin it.Although the possibility of surviving the two choices is to leave this desert, he knows that he can't do this at all.

It is very likely that the actual distance from here to the edge of the desert is much farther than I expected, and it is impossible to reach the edge of the desert in five days, and because a large amount of blood in my body was sucked away by diamonds before, Chen Ziyang knew that his current body was short of energy and blood, and it was impossible for him to have enough physical strength to fight the desert all the time, not to mention fighting for several days.

And Yang Lei may still be here, he doesn't intend to give up on this brother.Even if Yang Lei had already been buried under the yellow sand, he had to dig him out. He wanted to see people when he was born, and he wanted to see the corpse when he died.

In that strange dream before, this diamond also told me that there is a way to heal my left arm in this ancient country.In addition to this reason, Chen Ziyang felt that since there was an invisible thread that drew him here, and the matter had reached this point, even if he died here, he still had to figure out the matter of this treasure .

Coming to the vicinity of the round stone plate again, Chen Ziyang decided to start to crack the secret of the ancient treasure of Yumi from here.Although the ruins of the entire ancient country of Yumi have been rediscovered, but where are the treasures of the ancient country, and what are these treasures, I still have no idea, and can only study from scratch.

He walked around the ancient city before. Among the ruins of the ancient city, except for the circular stone platform and the stone pillars on it, the other things are some ruins, and they are all ordinary loess mud walls. .So Chen Ziyang decided to start here first.

The groove at the top of the stone pillar is used to embed diamonds, and then the blood in the diamond will flow along the lines on the stone pillar to the stone plate below, and then the blood will flow into the ground along the lines on the stone plate.

When this mechanism was activated before, a lot of gusts of wind blew out from the edge of the stone plate.Therefore, Chen Ziyang felt that it was very possible that the bottom of this stone platform was the key to the treasures of the entire ancient country.

After squatting near the stone platform and observing carefully for a while, Chen Ziyang found that the stone platform was much higher than he remembered. Blown away.But after looking at it for a while, he felt that something was wrong.

If those strong winds were blown from the bottom of the stone platform, then there should be a deep ditch on the edge of the entire stone platform, and it was from this deep ditch that the wind blown away the surrounding yellow sand.

But the bottom of this stone platform is still buried by yellow sand.In other words, that gust of wind was not blown from under the stone platform at all.Even if there is a deep ditch around the stone platform, it is very unreasonable. The previous strong wind could blow away all the sand tens of meters away. It should not be possible for such a strong wind to blow out from a small gap of.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Chen Ziyang felt that the previous wind might still have something to do with this diamond. After all, the soil in the ancient tomb would automatically avoid the diamond, so that means the diamond would have something to do with it. The sand has certain functions. This function should be one of the magical abilities of the diamond itself, and it is not something I can figure out for the time being.

When Chen Ziyang was observing the stone platform, he suddenly discovered an interesting place.Although the sand around the circular stone platform has been blown away a lot, it looks like the stone platform has been raised, but the nicks on the side of the stone platform still extend downward, extending into the yellow sand .

Recall the previous scene where these notches sent his own blood.Chen Ziyang knew that not all of the stone platform was exposed, there should be other parts of the stone platform under the sand.So he was going to use the engineering shovel he carried with him to dig up the sand around the stone platform to see what was going on below.It also helps to help yourself understand this amazing altar.

Then Chen Ziyang untied the engineering shovel from his backpack, threw the backpack aside, and started his digging work.

Because there is no way to use force with his left hand, Chen Ziyang can only dig with an engineering shovel in his right hand.Although he could use his foot to step down on the engineer shovel when he was shoveling, which saves energy, but when lifting the dug up sand, Chen Ziyang still could only use one hand.

After a few shovels, he felt that his right arm was a little sore. After all, this kind of engineering shovel was designed to be used with two hands at the same time, and it was too exhausting to operate this kind of engineering shovel with one hand.

After dozens of shovels, Chen Ziyang had already dug a big hole more than half a meter deep on the edge of the stone platform, but at this time he was already sweating profusely, and he couldn't dig it at all.

Sitting on the stone platform, Chen Ziyang carefully calculated that he could not continue digging like this.This kind of digging method is too exhausting, maybe before digging out all the stone platforms, I have already died of exhaustion here, and I don't have much food and water, so I can only guarantee my physical strength for three days.

This kind of digging work will consume one's strength excessively, which is equivalent to accelerating the consumption of one's own food in disguise. This method is very undesirable. If you can't be [-]% sure that the treasure is under this stone platform, then you can do it like this. Dig down and you'll be a fool, and you'll probably run out of food and get nothing.

In addition, it is daytime now, and the climate in the desert is relatively hot. The sun's rays will consume the water in one's body faster.After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Ziyang felt that it was better not to continue digging.

After resting for a while, he stood up and looked around the ruins of the entire ancient country again.Chen Ziyang thought in his heart, because he had just observed the ruins like a horse on horseback the day before, so it is very likely that he didn't pay attention to many details at all. Maybe these ruins contained clues to the treasures of the ancient country .

Since the excavation work could not continue, Chen Ziyang decided to search the ruins of this ancient country again to see if he could find anything.

Choosing a relatively high broken wall, Chen Ziyang climbed onto the broken wall and carefully looked around the ruins of the entire ancient country. After looking at it for a while, he found that although the broken walls in the ruins seemed chaotic, they could still be seen from it. See some clues.

Apart from broken walls and yellow sand, there is nothing else in the whole ruins, but the arrangement of these broken walls is still very particular.The broken walls surrounded on all sides should be a house. These houses are different in size, and some houses also have broken walls in them. It seems that those should be two-bedroom houses.There is an open space several meters wide between the houses, where there should be something like a street for people to walk on.

These streets are disorganized, but generally divide the ruins of this ancient country into several parts, and each part looks like a small block.Chen Ziyang noticed that one block was obviously different from the others.

In the northeast and northwest directions of the circular stone platform, there are two streets. These two streets are much wider than other streets, and the area between these two streets is the main square of the circular stone platform. In an area in the north, the broken wall here is very different from other short walls.

The houses surrounded by broken walls in other places are not large, about ten square meters, more than 20 square meters, and some are even smaller.Moreover, these houses are almost independent. Even if there are two houses close to each other, it can be seen from the shape of the broken wall that the two houses were not connected together before.

However, in the area directly north of the circular stone platform, the houses surrounded by broken walls are larger, each with an area of ​​more than [-] square meters, and some houses even have an area of ​​more than [-] square meters.And these houses are all connected together, it looks like a palace.

"Could it be that this is where the palace of the ancient Yumi Kingdom used to be?" Chen Ziyang thought in his heart, and after having this idea, he continued to observe in a targeted manner.

Because he didn't notice these details before, Chen Ziyang mistakenly regarded the relatively large houses in this area as streets. After all, these remaining broken walls are very short, and at the same time, there are almost no traces of broken walls in many places. Plus, the burial of the yellow sand made the traces of these broken walls even less obvious, so he didn't notice the difference in this area before.

But now that he saw that this place should be a palace, Chen Ziyang became interested in it, so he jumped off the broken wall and walked to this rather weird area to observe carefully again.After watching for a while, Chen Ziyang became more and more sure of his thoughts.

This area is facing the stone platform, and there is a huge room. The area of ​​this room is very large, and even the area of ​​this room is almost as large as the area of ​​the small square where the stone platform is located. It should be It's like a palace hall or something.

The other houses in this area are all connected to this "hall", extending to the left, right and rear.It can be seen that the houses surrounding this hall are arranged in a patchwork, very orderly, and the planning is relatively reasonable, which is very different from the small residential houses in other areas.

This discovery made Chen Ziyang very excited.Although he didn't know the system of this ancient country when it existed, whether it was slavery or feudalism, the kingship was supreme, and all the wealth of the country was gathered in the hands of the royal family.So if the treasures of this ancient country can be hidden somewhere, it must be this area.

But unfortunately, because the distance between the broken walls in this area is relatively far, there is more yellow sand accumulated in these houses.After sighing, Chen Ziyang knew that he had to take out his engineering shovel and continue digging.

Looking up at the sun hanging high in the sky, Chen Ziyang calculated carefully after finding a shadow of a broken wall and sitting down.

Digging must be done, but how to do it and when to do it requires some attention.If I just work hard under the scorching sun, my physical strength will be exhausted in a short time, so I must think of a way to get the best of both worlds, so that I can neither consume excessive physical strength nor improve myself. s efficiency.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyang slapped himself on the forehead fiercely, why didn't he think of it before, it was too stupid, wouldn't it be better to use this method earlier.
